Shiloh watched the tearful reunion, without getting anywhere near either of them. Her old human memories insisted that she shouldn't care what she was seeing here. It was right to be bitter towards Lane after what she'd done to her. The mew deserved to feel a little of the pain that she inflicted on others. But how could she stay resentful, knowing the ones Lane lost. It wasn't just the mother who suffered—Aspen lost her sisters. Shiloh herself had lost Briar, along with all the other…-

Lane appeared outside the nursery, ears flat and tail drooping. She nearly fell out of the air from the effort of the simple teleport, but caught herself a few inches from the damp jungle floor. She touched both paws against it, breathing in the familiar heat and damp of the Guyana jungle. When the world was insane, at least she had some small refuge. The building might be human-sized, but it was so well-concealed that she had no fear of the location being discovered. She'd chosen a rocky chasm so far…

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…-

It wasn't the light that woke Quinn, but something sharp and painful, digging into one of his hands. He stirred, then opened one eye to stare at whatever had caused so much pain. A tiny pink creature had latched onto his fingers, digging teeth into his skin. "W-what?" She released him, leaving a pair of dots where her canines had sunk into his skin, leaking amber-colored sap. "Sleeping too long!" Avery called. Her telepathy was somehow smaller than before, though simultaneously…-

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…

Avery was far less intimidating to him than she had been a few moments ago. Quinn floated down beside her, close enough to feel the heat radiating from her body. Tiny limbs twitched, and thin claws emerged from between her toes with each movement. Not the kind that would hurt Quinn by mistake, though. Instead of fighting danger, this creature now radiated a sense of familiarity and desperate need for help. This is a newborn without a mother. Does that make me her mom? The kitten shivered. When she spoke,…

Lane had probably spent more time imagining how mew lived than any human alive. Even before he’d got his hands on the Celadon University genetic report, he’d imagined a tropical habitat for the Pokémon. He pictured soft nests high in the trees, hunting using their powers and raising young under the moonlight. It was obvious they could fly, so maybe they spent most of their time up near the clouds, playing and watching the stars. The ruins of an ancient city seemed determined to prove him wrong.…

Quinn floated to the tree where Avery rested near death. He no longer struggled to keep himself airborne or regulate his flight. After crossing what felt like half a continent, he would not lose his belief in his ability and drop out of the air. All doubt could wait for when this treatment was done. "Master is back!" Sirius bounded over, holding embers carefully in one hand. He had built a small fire with them for Avery, surrounded by river rocks. The fire type had done a better job making camp…

Lane landed with a splash, sending warm water cascading away from him in all directions. He sank, and for a few terrible seconds it felt like he was going to keep sinking. Even if it was too dark to see, he could feel Mew hovering over him, and he kicked towards her. He broke the water a second later, coughing and spluttering. “Are… you… trying to drown me?” A soft amber glow sprung up just beside the water, suddenly illuminating the room. He swam towards the edge, getting a good look around. It…

Quinn flew into the dark, faster than he'd ever flown in his life. Not that that was saying much; he'd only been able to fly for two days, and still didn't feel like he knew what he was doing. Purpose drove him, a life that would be lost if he could not repair the damage he had done. One day I'll see the readings, and I'll know what went wrong. If anything failed in that accelerator, it should've been with a whimper. If he'd died alone, that would be one thing—why was…
