Lane's information from the Kanto soldier proved correct—Mt. Battle was more dangerous than anywhere else in Orre. There were hundreds of wild Pokémon milling about the structure from the outside, each one staking claim to nonsensical little plots of territory. It shifted constantly, with the flash of elemental energy and Pokémon attacks lighting the forest like a strobe. Lane didn't fight her way in. With Elisa's help, she probably could have. But she just didn't have the energy to…-

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 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…

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 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…

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…

Lane didn't get nearly as much sleep as she would've hoped for that night, considering what was waiting for them in the morning. But Elisa obviously needed a simpler kind of support. There was no way she wouldn't be there for her, even if it made her a little weaker tomorrow. Besides, there was Cedar's other instructions lingering in her mind, keeping her awake even after Elisa finally stopped squirming. She couldn't make the trip as herself, or else invoke the wrath of enemies…-

They flew for some time. Lane wasn't sure exactly how long, though he found that he didn't care. It wasn't anything like flying with Korina. His concentration wasn't eroding over time, like a final exam that continued until his brain finally gave out and he collapsed. That didn't happen now. The air was cold, but the chill of it didn't bother him the way it did as a cat. His body was tiring over time, but not as much as he expected. The company of so many others was…

The True-Myth Club had rented out the entire Lilycove convention hall. No one made fun of Lane's costume as she glided through the dealer room, tablet under one arm. Her outfit was as pink as the tail trailing behind her. Keeping the damn thing while she was human amounted to nearly six feet of furry, mischievous fluff, but at least she'd cut a hole for it this time. Maybe the leader of one of the world's largest teams should dress with a little more dignity, but that word had barely even…
