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 didn't continue on to Saffron right away, as much as Lane wanted to. But just because she had exhausted all her strength while flying. There was no denying how wrung-out and tired her body had become. She needed the rest. Even Elisa, who had spent almost all of the trip safely inside the pack, needed some time to recover. Dominic just vanished, practically mid-sentence as he promised to see them again in the morning. "There are safe places to sleep underground," Cedar said, gesturing…

Lane levitated the doors shut, plunging the room into gloom. There was still a single shaft of sunlight shining straight down from an opening in the roof, but that was all. It was quite a flimsy door to be between her and a crowd of half a hundred people. Lane settled onto the ground, rising up onto her hind-legs. That was the first part of being human, right? Standing up. She concentrated, trying to feel her old body the way she'd felt being a shaymin. But there was no one to copy in here. She…

Dominic glared into the tub, expression unreadable. But despite how much time had passed since last they were together, Lane thought she could feel something familiar from him. He was frustrated with her lackadaisical attitude, but only because of how much he cared. He broke the stare first, glancing briefly down at Lane's chest. His wings buzzed nervously, and he lifted suddenly into the air, hovering right up into her face. "That worked with the club, Lane. This was just a hobby for us…

After all the nightmares Lane had been through thus far, the trip to Saffron was surprisingly uneventful. Mostly it was incredibly dull, with a few brief flashes of fear when the meal-cart arrived and she had to hide her companions in a hurry. Other than that, the trip was downright peaceful. If Korina was there, she probably would've chided her for not getting more practice with her powers. But Lane wasn't sure she could get the human body back if she lost it, and she wasn't going to…

The Pokémon bore down on her, looking as furious as their masters. Each one glowered in her general direction. "Better listen!" said the blue one, though how it could say anything with that tongue, she didn't know. "Or we hurt you." "Hypno, do your thing," said one of the thugs. The same one that had thrown its pokéball. "Make her talk." It obeyed, eyes focusing on her as it moved the little coin it held gently back and forth. "Obey," it said, as…

Lane couldn't read a single thing from Mewtwo—not a single stray thought, not a flicker of emotion. There was little more on his face, though there was a hint of something in his scent. Amusement? But even the feeble wind moved so quickly that it stole any scents away from her, out of reach. "You were brave to come here, kitten," he began. "Since my creation, I have spent years cultivating a reputation of respect. I do not abide distraction or pointless interference. There are some…

There was a flash, and suddenly they were somewhere else. Mewtwo landed delicately, watching with mild concern as Elisa fumbled in the air again. But he still watched, waiting until she had corrected her flight to turn away. They stood in a cavern of vast size, with shiny black soapstone towering around them. The space was so vast that Lane floated closer to him, as close to Mewtwo as she dared. "This place is... unfriendly." The air was icy cold, and a thin layer of moisture coated every…

Lane had only used her powers of transformation a handful of times. But compared to becoming a human that had never actually existed, copying a model right in front of her was simple. She stared, looking through Dominic as much as at him. She didn't understand much of what she felt, but she didn't have to. She didn't need to understand the principles that made the body work, so long as she copied them exactly. Her fur crumbled away, her limbs shortened, and her skin softened to pastel…

Lane returned to her present with a crashing impact as dramatic as the one that had taken her away. She was better at it—she managed to hold herself in the air as the transformation faded, and catch herself when she lost the wings. Mewtwo and Elisa were standing exactly where they had been, watching with the same nervous concern. "You can't go without me!" Elisa said, nudging up against her. She wobbled, nearly collapsing under the pressure. That particular transformation would probably…
