Shiloh was not awake enough to fully listen or even fully appreciate everything she was hearing. The castle was well-defended, and getting inside would require a careful effort even from such powerful legendaries. Team Plasma had legendaries of their own, and they would be expecting an attack. It meant incredible coordination, from a group of legendary Pokémon and their allies all working together. All to get Lane over to the artifact, where she could do some psychic-Pokémon thing that would infect each…-

Shiloh found Briar along with several familiar faces, tucked away in an artificial cave. She should've been watching her back a little closer, because by the time she made it there, she was alone. Dominic had vanished into the forest, without leaving a trace. Except a faint, floral scent from where she touched him. A pair of red eyes appeared near the entrance, peeking out at her. Briar bounded forward, before settling onto his haunches and looking up expectantly. Shiloh drifted lower, until they were…

Shiloh landed on Lane's shoulder. The cold wind shook her in the air, threatening to lift her up and throw her into the melee. Somehow, the mew kept the wind from getting close to her, its little flakes of snow curving around to either side, and leaving her dry. Not so their human opponent. He waited on the clearing, facing into the storm without protection. Other than the dragon behind him, of course. Reshiram's tail burned brilliant orange, melting any of the moisture that got too close. Its…

Shiloh zipped away from Lane, flying as rapidly as she could. But she wasn't trying to escape this time—she copied what the flygon had done, flying along the sand as close as she could. She willed it up into the air after her, gathering the sand behind her into a wave. As she fought she felt the heat of her body building into a sudden bonfire, glowing hotter and brighter. She wasn't Lane—for Shiloh, there could be no power without heat. There was no vulnerable building or smaller Pokémon to…

"Starting with me," said another voice. Shiloh spun, to find Lane making her way over. She was back to being human, with a shaymin riding her shoulder. She looked almost exactly like Shiloh had first seen her, in that underground facility. Would they have spared themselves all this heartache if she just turned away then, and tracked the mew down another time? "Seriously, Reshiram would've killed me. Don't know what his deal was, but it must be old. Maybe he remembers when there was…

Shiloh stared down the forces brought against Aspen. She was completely surrounded, with a full six different Pokémon and armed soldiers. At least none of them were aiming their firearms in her direction. Of course they aren’t, she's a rare Pokémon. She's too valuable to shoot. With that realization, Shiloh felt something even more terrifying. I'm valuable. Anyone in the world would want to capture me. If they didn't win this fight, it wasn't just Aspen who would end up…

Shiloh didn't think about what would be waiting for her as soon as she passed out of the cave; otherwise, her fear would overwhelm her, and she might just find a quiet corner to curl up in. That worked to get her out into the open air. But then she flew past the waterfall, into the sky. At her size, she might as well have jumped out of an airplane for how small everything looked below, and how the winds buffeted and flung her. Aspen went first, so she didn't even see her, zipping straight down…

Lane fell. She hurt everywhere—burns down her back, fur singed from blows that would’ve taken a human being and vaporized them instantly. But the deeper pain didn't come from any Pokémon attack, that would all heal. There was agony that went deeper, of factors beyond her control, and mistakes she should've seen coming. Somewhere safe. Maybe Korina will notice. The familiar warmth and humidity of the jungle was waiting below—and the Nursery, she would find healing supplies. She wasn't…

Shiloh watched the tearful reunion, without getting anywhere near either of them. Her old human memories insisted that she shouldn't care what she was seeing here. It was right to be bitter towards Lane after what she'd done to her. The mew deserved to feel a little of the pain that she inflicted on others. But how could she stay resentful, knowing the ones Lane lost. It wasn't just the mother who suffered—Aspen lost her sisters. Shiloh herself had lost Briar, along with all the other…

Shiloh hovered opposite the celebi, there in the backyard of some small town house. She couldn’t describe exactly what about the other Pokémon made him so interesting to her. Maybe it was being about the same size—maybe it was the pleasant mixture of natural smells and ozone from his jaunt through space and time. Maybe it was those dark eyes, that looked right into hers and seemed to know all kinds of things about her. "How do you know my name?" she repeated. "Celebi?" Aspen…
