The Pokémon bore down on her, looking as furious as their masters. Each one glowered in her general direction. "Better listen!" said the blue one, though how it could say anything with that tongue, she didn't know. "Or we hurt you." "Hypno, do your thing," said one of the thugs. The same one that had thrown its pokéball. "Make her talk." It obeyed, eyes focusing on her as it moved the little coin it held gently back and forth. "Obey," it said, as…-

After all the nightmares Lane had been through thus far, the trip to Saffron was surprisingly uneventful. Mostly it was incredibly dull, with a few brief flashes of fear when the meal-cart arrived and she had to hide her companions in a hurry. Other than that, the trip was downright peaceful. If Korina was there, she probably would've chided her for not getting more practice with her powers. But Lane wasn't sure she could get the human body back if she lost it, and she wasn't going to…

Dominic glared into the tub, expression unreadable. But despite how much time had passed since last they were together, Lane thought she could feel something familiar from him. He was frustrated with her lackadaisical attitude, but only because of how much he cared. He broke the stare first, glancing briefly down at Lane's chest. His wings buzzed nervously, and he lifted suddenly into the air, hovering right up into her face. "That worked with the club, Lane. This was just a hobby for us…

Lane levitated the doors shut, plunging the room into gloom. There was still a single shaft of sunlight shining straight down from an opening in the roof, but that was all. It was quite a flimsy door to be between her and a crowd of half a hundred people. Lane settled onto the ground, rising up onto her hind-legs. That was the first part of being human, right? Standing up. She concentrated, trying to feel her old body the way she'd felt being a shaymin. But there was no one to copy in here. She…

They didn't continue on to Saffron right away, as much as Lane wanted to. But just because she had exhausted all her strength while flying. There was no denying how wrung-out and tired her body had become. She needed the rest. Even Elisa, who had spent almost all of the trip safely inside the pack, needed some time to recover. Dominic just vanished, practically mid-sentence as he promised to see them again in the morning. "There are safe places to sleep underground," Cedar said, gesturing…

They flew for some time. Lane wasn't sure exactly how long, though he found that he didn't care. It wasn't anything like flying with Korina. His concentration wasn't eroding over time, like a final exam that continued until his brain finally gave out and he collapsed. That didn't happen now. The air was cold, but the chill of it didn't bother him the way it did as a cat. His body was tiring over time, but not as much as he expected. The company of so many others was…

Lane didn't get nearly as much sleep as she would've hoped for that night, considering what was waiting for them in the morning. But Elisa obviously needed a simpler kind of support. There was no way she wouldn't be there for her, even if it made her a little weaker tomorrow. Besides, there was Cedar's other instructions lingering in her mind, keeping her awake even after Elisa finally stopped squirming. She couldn't make the trip as herself, or else invoke the wrath of enemies…

It was night in the strange field where humans were forbidden to go. That was no problem anymore, now that there were no humans around. After a whole day of little green and white bodies crowding close to Elisa, questioning her so vigorously about the outside world that their voices blended together—Lane finally got them to leave her alone. There was only one way to do it: carry Elisa and the pokéball back up to the ruined house. "We're leaving at sunrise tomorrow," Cedar said, the…

Lane might not know how to teleport exactly, but she knew with perfect confidence that she and Elisa wanted to be anywhere but next to that helicopter. Suddenly, they weren't. There was a sharp crack, then a rush of air as they fell. Lane caught herself easily, spreading her body and slowing to a hover. Elisa didn't even have time to scream before she crashed into a bush of bright red flowers, crushing it and cushioning her fall. She rolled to the side, groaning from the impact.…

With more warning, the three of them could've managed a more sophisticated escape from the incoming helicopter. Hell, with more of her own powers Lane probably could've made them invisible long enough to get away from the building and hide until they left. But that was one of many powers she barely even understood, let alone mastered. They quickly dismissed a plan to run across the field of strange red flowers. None were anywhere close to human height, and the helicopter had clear view of them…
