Shiloh advanced through the destroyed laboratory, eyes on the fallen ultra ball. It lay atop a pile of women's clothes, that the clever Pokémon had tried to use to hide itself. Mew was easily the smartest Pokémon he had ever encountered—it kept Pokémon around it like a trainer, it could even speak his language. But in the end, it wasn't smart enough to fool a simple ultra ball. I told Professor Oak we didn't need to bother with a master ball. Save that expense for if I ever find…-

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 groaned, shifting uneasily in his sleep. He felt as though he'd just had the worst workout of his life, every muscle and sinew aching and sore. He stirred slowly, but even as his mind returned, he remained disoriented. His legs felt so strange, his head didn't make sense. He could feel an entire pillow around him, from directions that confused him. "I think I've been... poisoned," he whispered. Even his voice sounded strange to his ears. It was high and feminine. Or maybe it…

Lane stood atop the prow of the Kanto Defense rescue ship Thanatos, as it passed through a bank of thick fog. Thanks to the ship's aerofoils, it sailed at incredible speed, fast enough to lift her long pink hair into a trail behind her. Despite the terrible danger, she wore only an outfit that might be typical to any Pokémon trainer—short skirt with shorts underneath, a multilayered vest, and bits of pink jewelry clipped into her hair. And of course, she wouldn’t go anywhere without her scarf,…

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…

Shiloh should be used to this by now. The teleport came so unexpectedly that she didn't know how to react, and was helpless to stop herself. She barely had time to scream, bright lights blurring past her for an instant before she hit water. It felt like icy meltwater, so cold it made her instantly start shivering. Yet there was also heat rising from around her, in ways she didn't understand. At least the water wasn't deep. Her feet found the bottom—a flat cement pool. She touched up…

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…

Landing on the roof meant avoiding many of the threats outside, but that was not the same as simply walking inside. Shiloh had been to this arena before, more than once. He had never seen it so full. Or at least, it had been full. There was ample evidence of the presence of soldiers here, the ill-fated Orre self-defense army. Unfortunately for them, it didn’t seem like this attempt at self-defense had done them any good. There were half a dozen chokepoints and reinforced fallbacks, and each one showed…

Lane paced back and forth behind the computer, growing increasingly frustrated as the minutes passed. Within her little barrier the strange influence emanating from the ruined ship could not reach her—but maintaining such a powerful mental effect for so long was wearing her down. "How much longer?" she asked, nudging the Pokémon’s shoulder gently. "Not to rush you, Akiko. But I’m rushing you." She glared over her shoulder at Lane. She would probably think it was strange to see…

Shiloh wasn't quite sure what happened next. There was a bumpy ride up the cliffside, with water showering down around her. She saw the occasional flash of light, thought maybe she heard the roaring blades of the ornithopter—then she was somewhere safe. Time passed, it was hard to say how much. She was cold, damp, and dreamed miserable dreams. Dreams of Pokémon fighting and dying, of Briar and Mirage dragged away while she was powerless to help. She dreamed of guilt, wondering if and how the attack…
