"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 spent her next few days in the most rigorous training of her life. She trained like she was about to challenge the Elite 4 all over again, except this time it was her own effort she spent. Her chance of successful escape, and reaching any human rescue, hung significantly on securing Aspen's help. The shaymin demanded she was able to fly—so she would fly. She had never had to teach any of her Pokémon to use their most basic abilities before. Sometimes they learned new powers naturally as…

She spent the next several hours alone. Shiloh turned the screen on, and started cycling it through news channels. Most of them were talking about boring stuff like the evacuation, but a few had said more about him. They had actual special forces out there looking for him. She cried some, but not as much as she expected. Mostly she surrounded herself with the stuffed toys, explaining her various plans of escape. They didn't reply, but she could imagine they did. They spoke with the voices of…

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…

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…
