For the first time since her transformation, Lane's sleep was dreamless and comfortable. She had a little trouble drifting off with Korina gone, but that was all. Nothing woke her too soon, and she might've slept well past the dawn if it wasn't for a nervous, buzzing voice that startled her from nearby. "You two are really cute together and everything, but you really need to wake up." Lane blinked, stirring abruptly to wakefulness. She'd never heard that voice before, with a…-

Years later... Avery knew she wasn't supposed to be here. There were a lot of places she wasn't supposed to go. Military sections of Starfall, with their distinctive psionic resonance. Classrooms of anyone past their first year certifications. More than 100 meters from Starfall, where the Repel field grew weak enough for wild Pokémon to get close and potentially threaten her. Her mother's office when she was hard at work. For a growing Mew, Avery was very good at learning all the rules.…-

There was nothing Lane could do. She could feel the power working on them, but had neither the skill nor the strength to stop it. She could only watch, horrified, as both her friends transformed. She slumped to the dirt, tail wrapping around her as her ears pressed flat. She wanted to vanish, to curl up so small that she'd disappear. For a few seconds, it almost seemed like she would. Her paws faded, becoming completely transparent. She gasped, and the effect faded. The least she could do was…

Avery was small. Of all the experiences in her life, this was new. In that regard, Quinn's tragic accident had given her an incredible gift. Humanity was so small a price to pay for everything she had gained. Life in the city called Starfall varied little for her from day to day. Avery woke with the dawn, because that was what her body wanted. She was never alone, but slept comfortably in her mother's bed, basking in the warmth of another living thing. Adoptive though she might be, Metis had…

The first thing Quinn knew was pain. It burned through everything, so powerful that it should've sent him into shock. Maybe it had—he lay flat on the floor, barely breathing. It hurt so much in fact that he couldn't clearly feel one limb from another—all was pain, broken only by the occasional few notes of that strange melody echoing in his head. He mouthed along with it through numb lips, taking something, anything to keep himself from drifting away again. There were other sensations here,…

Lane had been looking for hours. Turning back to the convention had been an easy choice at first—all the data in the world about legendary Pokémon assembled into one place, obviously the answers would be here. But while there were whole sections about the climate instability caused by some recent disaster or another, and even some credibility given to an absurd region worshiping a goat-thing and some egg, Mew was almost deliberately absent. After an hour of finding nothing and ignoring texts from his…

Elisa was right to be worried about the trip. The primary threat came not from the wild Pokémon that separated them from the middle of Mt. Union— with the altitude rising and less available to eat, there were far fewer gigantic predators and dangerous fully evolved dragons. Mostly they saw birds and rodents, with an occasional brave deerling somehow scaling the slope not far away. This was actually an opportunity for Lane, who floated over to the little green Pokémon, ignoring her friends'…

"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…

They hiked together for hours through the jungle, long enough that Lane grew tired of flying and found a more comfortable perch on Elisa's shoulder. She had an excuse: she had to save her strength in case they encountered anything dangerous! There were plenty of dangerous things out in the jungle, though not nearly as many as they'd been led to believe. "None of these Pokémon attack humans on sight," Dominic said, when they were finally settling down to camp for the night.…

It was a long way to the surface; a long way through twisting tunnels, confusing passages and abandoned buildings. In another life, Quinn would've made that trip up slowly, exploring every inch of the strange facility and learning whatever could be discovered about the ones who lived there. Even if he wasn't an archeologist, he still wanted to know. Basically no one understood the ancient Pokémon, or imagined they had ever lived in civilizations. Here was a relatively recent structure, with much…
