Mirage circled around her, the way she sometimes did when Briar gave her complex instructions for a scene. Those dark eyes revealed little about what she might be thinking, and her mind even less. She was a dark-type—resistant or even immune to Shiloh's mental powers. Having her so close did unsettle Shiloh a little. Those teeth were sharp, her claws even sharper, and wherever she stood left a dark stain on the space around her where Shiloh could sense nothing. It was easy to see now why the kittens…-

Getting out of the window proved an interesting task for Shiloh, considerably easier than getting into the building in the first place. She couldn't get herself through the opening with any amount of physical force, at least until her repeated straining made her human illusion puff away. She stumbled onto the grass, then levitated up into the air, taking Briar with her. She flew straight up along the building, until they were above the roof and hopefully out of range of anyone who might be watching…

Lane felt a little better after she got some coffee in her system. Her mom could caution her as often as she wanted about how her body wasn't built to eat human food, and how much happier she would be if she just accepted that plants were all she was meant to eat. But Korina wasn't the one out here saving the world. Let her complain about Lane's diet all she wanted while safely surrounded by luxury. At least she got to watch Shiloh struggle through her breakfast. It wasn't morning, but…

Lane's information from the Kanto soldier proved correct—Mt. Battle was more dangerous than anywhere else in Orre. There were hundreds of wild Pokémon milling about the structure from the outside, each one staking claim to nonsensical little plots of territory. It shifted constantly, with the flash of elemental energy and Pokémon attacks lighting the forest like a strobe. Lane didn't fight her way in. With Elisa's help, she probably could have. But she just didn't have the energy to…

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…

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…

"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 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 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…
