Lane tucked her tail in close, then shot down through the trees, weaving slow enough that she could easily avoid the worst of the branches and spines. What might've been an annoying thorn when she was human easily could've impaled her now. She probably wouldn't be much use to her friends if she landed in front of them as a corpse. A few dangerous seconds and she was through, flying lower and lower towards the bridge from one side. The obstruction that had stymied her friends completely was…-

Lane's heart was still racing, hours after the fight. Some part of her couldn't accept that she was out of danger. That salamence might be stalking her even now, for the crime of getting anywhere close to its children. Didn't dragons live a really long time? Maybe as long as mew. "I don't... I don't think that was fair," she said. It was as brave as she could manage, under the circumstances. She wanted to scream at Korina, or maybe hit her with a psychic attack. But she…

For a few seconds Lane was completely overwhelmed. The field of strange-smelling grass might not be tall, but it was tall enough to curl around her and make her coat itch terribly where it rubbed against her skin. She whimpered, then took off into the air, hovering high enough that she wasn't surrounded by dirt and grass. "Hello, Korina? It's okay, you can stop now! Whatever you want me to think, I agree with you!" Please don't leave me alone. But her kidnapper didn't…

Lane floated through the jungle, only bobbing slightly as she flew. So long as she didn't try to move too quickly, it was easy enough to keep herself above the ground while simultaneously moving forward. But try to move too fast along one axis, and she'd lag in the other. "Do I have to find more motivation for you, kitten? I will let you eat meat if you do this. I'm not just saying that. It’s so much tastier than seaweed." Korina bobbed along behind her through the early…

"Did you honestly think you could get away, kitten?" Korina asked, drifting through the entrance towards her. "I know humans have trouble conceptualizing the future, but come on. Even if I gave you a week head start, I would be there the instant I stopped waiting." There was a flash of bright light from where she floated, and a faint glow across the tent. Suddenly she was on the other end, still baring down on Lane with no less malicious an expression on her face. "Just like that.…

What did I just do? Lane bobbed up and down in the air, her limbs shaking with excitement. It had looked like her best friend might be about to beat her unconscious—or maybe catch her with a pokéball. “I can?” she asked, cautious. “Can you understand me now?” Elisa took one step closer, shaking her head. “No no, you can’t go back to that. Do what you did before when you said my name. I didn’t just imagine it.” What did I do differently? Lane knew so little, what was she supposed to…

Lane could think of few things quite so dangerous as going straight to the surface now that she didn't have her companion, but straight to the surface was where Lane intended to go. Of course, there were a few minutes of wandering, given that she knew the layout of Starfall so poorly. But after several minutes of searching, she was able to locate the entrance, hidden in a grate that had been built by human hands. Flying up that grate was her first challenge, given that from her small perspective it…

Lane stared around the strangely multifaceted space, taking in its many competing sides. There were no walkways between each section, only little flat spaces in front of the largest machines, and a clear “hallway” through the center between them all. As if there had been any doubt in her mind that no human tradition of construction had built this place, now she had the firmest possible evidence. This strange machinery might tower over Lane, but no human could’ve possibly fit between it all. Just…

Bed was a strange thing for a Pokémon. Lane hadn’t been aware enough to notice on her first night, when her mind was still utterly unable to process what had happened to her body. There was no such mercy on her second night. “This way, kitten,” Korina prompted, forcing her to fly the whole way. If Lane’s tail even dragged beneath her, the big mew shoved her up against the ceiling, so fast she was dazed momentarily by the impact. “Our nest is here, in case you forgot.” “I didn’t,” she…

Korina flew with Lane through the dense jungle foliage, just fast enough that he didn’t try to separate from her. He might be able to fly—he still wasn’t sure—but he didn’t have enough control to avoid hitting branches and ariados webs and trunks that came in so fast he could barely recognize any of them. She watched his face as they came down, grinning. “Don’t worry kitten, I’ll teach you all of that. But not yet. I want to make you into a mew, not meat paste.” Lane heard something…
