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…

With more warning, the three of them could've managed a more sophisticated escape from the incoming helicopter. Hell, with more of her own powers Lane probably could've made them invisible long enough to get away from the building and hide until they left. But that was one of many powers she barely even understood, let alone mastered. They quickly dismissed a plan to run across the field of strange red flowers. None were anywhere close to human height, and the helicopter had clear view of them…-

Lane might not know how to teleport exactly, but she knew with perfect confidence that she and Elisa wanted to be anywhere but next to that helicopter. Suddenly, they weren't. There was a sharp crack, then a rush of air as they fell. Lane caught herself easily, spreading her body and slowing to a hover. Elisa didn't even have time to scream before she crashed into a bush of bright red flowers, crushing it and cushioning her fall. She rolled to the side, groaning from the impact.…

It was night in the strange field where humans were forbidden to go. That was no problem anymore, now that there were no humans around. After a whole day of little green and white bodies crowding close to Elisa, questioning her so vigorously about the outside world that their voices blended together—Lane finally got them to leave her alone. There was only one way to do it: carry Elisa and the pokéball back up to the ruined house. "We're leaving at sunrise tomorrow," Cedar said, the…
