Quinn's plan took a lot of time, but what was time to a Celebi? It wasn't as though he had to worry about missing deadlines or failing to defend his thesis. His whole civilization didn't exist yet. None of them would be born for a very, very long time. The worst part wasn't finding food, or shelter from the near-constant rain. It wasn't even occasionally dealing with the territorial wild Pokémon. Lucky for him, most Pokémon had no interest in fighting. They seemed able to sense…-

"I know what would do this," said a voice, from not far away. Quinn turned to look, staring through the broken trees and dead branches. A shadow lingered in the trees, floating at about his head level. Not alive, though not dead. Sable, eyes smoldering. "I remember the discussion, before my family and I became... what we are." Quinn floated closer, approaching the ghost. There was something fitting about the shadowy Pokémon in this place of death. Yet despite the name and nature of the…

Quinn shifted, groaning as pain racked through his body. His head pounded, and distant voices magnified until they were shrill screams. "Just a little quieter, please."

For the first time since his transformation, Quinn's sleep was sightless and dreamless.

One moment he was on the little landing craft, and the next—he felt pain on his back, the cramps of his wings pressed for too long in the wrong direction. Quinn jerked upright, pushing away from the floor beneath him and up an inch into the air. He wasn't on the…

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,…

Quinn knew where he would end up, eventually. Not right away—but a time traveler did not need to rush. He could wait until his daughter was grown a little older, and he'd befriended enough of the local Mythicals to leave her in their care. Cedrin had already moved on, though he still visited often. The young Celebi had his own life to live. With Sinnoh brought safely to its new home, Team Infinity made rapid progress. It didn’t need someone like him to share what bits and pieces he’d gathered…
