Chapter 17

In my passed out state, Raze could not even reach me. I floated in a realm of darkness, just laying there, staring up at nothing. The last time I had been in this world, only the sound of Zane's voice had managed to pull me free, but he was no where near me I knew.

I don't know how much time had passed, until I finally heard the first voice in the dark. It was a sort of humming, and I quickly recognized the tune. My lullaby... I had nearly forgotten about it, since I had stopped using it to reach that inner peace to use the aura.

But who was singing it?

___________________

When I finally seemed to actually open my eyes to the real world, my head ached, my body still felt tired and numb. It was the most minimal amount of health I needed to wake up, and it still felt horrible.

Someone near me was still humming the tune of my lullaby, and I turned my head slowly towards the sound.

A very lovely looking pokemon floated in the air there, her green hair flowing far down under her body as she twirled around back and forth in circles. Black dots flowed down her hair on lines of black, each one appearing as she would hum the song. We were in some kind of clearing in the forest, though the area around us was surrounded by bushes that seemed like they were arranged in a specific way as to surround the area protectively.

I watched her for a few minutes, until she reached a point of the tune that I knew and I tried to hum it with her, and she opened her eyes and stared down at me, floating over me and her hair touched my muzzle lightly. We hummed together until she ended the song, and then she smiled at me.

"Hello there sleepy head." She giggled down at me and I blushed brightly. Her voice was amazing, like I was listening to a song in of itself. "You had quite the experience in there didn't you? I felt your distress five miles away."

"My distress?" I groaned back up to her, blinking awake still as I tried to focus and wake up more.

"I can feel your emotions, I'm a lot like you in a way, except I use the living energy for more purposes than you." she giggled. "I'm Meloetta! It's nice to met you, Ruli of the gem."

"Ruli of the gem?"

"Of course! It's what the energies are calling you hehe." She floated around in the air so that her head was resting in her hands.

"Where...is my gem?"

"Oh! He's right here!" She dashed away from me a moment through the air, flying back with Raze in her hands.

"Raze!" I said and I took the gem from her quickly.

"Good to see you're okay Ruli." He told me happily as I held the gem and it glowed in my paws.

I looked back up to Meloetta, "You said he...Can you sense him in the gem?"

She nodded, giggling and smiling, as she floated around again. "Hmm-hmm, like I said, I can use the living energy just like you can, only in different ways, I can still feel it though. Since mister Mega in there is a master of it, I can sense him in there."

I smiled and nodded, "Thank you...if it wasn't for you, I would have gotten captured again."

"Oh no! It wasn't me that really saved you. I brought you here, but a Charmander had been dragging you for a long while before I found you and him in the forest."

I blinked, "Where's the Charmander then?"

"He said he was going to find your trainer for you and bring him here!" She said in the same energetic voice she was using.

I nodded slowly, and I thought a moment, "You said the aura is calling me 'Ruli of the gem'...Why is it calling me that?"

"Well," She said and she stopped floating around playfully, coming to a still in front of me as I sat up slowly, "Lately, I feel a lot of commotion in the energies. I'm sure a lot of other pokemon who can use it do too...asides the aura, I even feel some disturbances in the mental energy of my mind. I'm part Physic type hehe."

"What do they tell you?" Raze asked, "As I am trapped in here, I cannot feel much of the aura anymore, I can only sense a few meters out from this gem. I can't feel what is going throughout the world anymore..."

"They're a little restless..." She commented to him, "They are worried about the return of something terrible."

"Calamity..."

"Yes that's probably it. But, they are calm about it, they whisper about you, Ruli." She looked at me then, "And about the other Megas. They believe everything will be okay, but just the same, they're restless."

She floated about, a hand on her chin as she closed her eyes and thought, "That's what the aura feels, but my psychic powers tell me other things. The humans that kidnapped you, they are called Team Flare...and they are trying to resurrect the great pokemon that was put to sleep many years ago..."

"They are trying to resurrect Calamity!?" Raze shouted out loudly, "They don't know what kind of power they play with!"

Meloetta nodded, "They don't, but they believe they can control it just the same, to use its power to take over the world...They know about the Megas too, they have a few of them in their possession still, the Charmander still has that other one with him right now." She focused a moment it seemed, then she smiled.

"He just found Zane! Once he somehow convinces him to follow him, he'll be here in a few days at least I think."

I smiled happily and sighed in relieve, but then Raze continued, "I'm sorry, that's great really, but this is a serious issue. What are they trying to do with the gems Meloetta, tell us everything you can."

She nodded, and focused again, "They're interested in the power of the Megas. I'm...not sure how exactly they know about them, but they've been trying to copy the power of a mega by studying the gems."

"Copy the power? Is that even possible?" I asked Raze.

"I'm not sure..." He mumbled a moment, "From when I've studied Zane's memories and knowledge when I first met you two, I know that there is a man-made pokemon in existence called Porygon, and it even has evolved forms like a natural pokemon. If they were able to make a pokemon in a lab...who knows what they can do."

"That it true, there's no telling what they can do, and I can't sense anything more than that." Meloetta said as she opened her eyes. "But please, rest. There is not much you can do, nor much you can plan as it is. We have no idea where they're keeping other mega gems or anything. I will go get you something to eat. Please, rest, you've had a very hard time."

I nodded and sighed lightly, laying back and closing my eyes. I still felt very tired. and closing my eyes felt like a blessing.

______________________

A day and a half passed, as I rested in Meloetta's little forest cove. I grew strong enough to walk again, and as I was waiting eagerly for Charmander to return with Zane, I grew curious about something.

"Meloetta..."

"Hmm?" She hummed close to me, where she had been singing a certain tune.

"That song that you were humming when I woke up? Where did you learn it?"

"Learn it? Oh no no no." She giggled and twirled about in the air. "You mean you can't hear it?"

I shook my head slowly, and she sighed, "Oh dear, then how do you know of it?"

"It's a lullaby my mom used to sing to me when I was with her. I used to use it as a way to calm down in battle, so the aura could help me."

"Ohhh I see that's how you know of it hehe." She spun around in the air a bit, doing a little dance, "Well, it's a song that the aura sings. Singing it like you did in battle was just another way to atune yourself with it."

"What?" Raze said, sounding more than confused, "The aura can sing?"

"You were probably too tense and stressed to relax enough to listen to it Mega." She giggled lightly and she smiled, "But yes, it can sing, it's always singing. Just relax, and try to listen to it."

I closed my eyes as she went back to her singing and floating through the air, standing still in the clearing, keeping my ears perked while I took deep breaths trying to find a calm center.

"Clear your mind." Meloetta sang to me lightly, and I felt her long flowing hair flitter through the air around me as she moved in circles in the air. "Sing the song with it." She started to sing then, and I sang with her, still trying to keep myself calm.

I started to feel myself slip away into a kind of trance as I sang, becoming fully relaxed as I let the tune of the song flow from my lips. And then, I heard it, a strange chiming like noise. My ears flicked, as I continued to sing, the chiming grew louder and louder, and eventually, I lost myself to it, stopping my own singing as I just listened to the tune in my ears instead.

"This...is the aura?" Raze whispered in my head, using my own mind to hear it himself. "It never did this for me..."

I don't know how long I spent listening to the aura, but when I finally did have to pull myself out from my trance, I felt...energized. Warmth flowed through me a moment as I opened my eyes and started to breath regularly.

"That's amazing." I said as I looked up at Meloetta, who had stopped singing and had been watching me.

"Isn't it?" She giggled and smiled, and she floated away towards the bushes surrounding the cove. "Come! Charmander and your trainer are close!"

I smiled eagerly and followed her through the bushes, a small opening made through them over days of use it seemed. It emptied out into the forest, and I followed Meloetta through the woods, until we came to a well worn pathway that the humans must of used often.

"They'll be coming this way shortly." She said as she floated back around me, "But I'll have to leave you here for now all right?"

"Why's that?" I tilted my head a moment and she made a slightly sad face.

"Humans and I...don't have much of a good relationship I'm afraid. I know there's nothing wrong with them, but being as strong a pokemon as I am..."

I nodded in understanding quickly, "All right. Will I ever see you again?"

"We may cross paths again some day, but I'm sure the aura will tell me much about you too as you continue your journey." She smiled once more and I wagged my tail a bit, "For now, you stay safe and be careful, and I would say, find a safer and more secure way to keep the Mega with you."

I nodded, "I will Meloetta, thank you for your help."

"It was a pleasure Ruli. Goodbye!" She waved her hand in the air before she turned and flew back quickly through the forest.

Only a few more minutes passed as I waited on the side of the path, until I saw Charmander running down the pathway quickly, his tail waving around behind him, and soon following over the hill, Zane.

"Ruli!" My trainer shouted as he came rushing down the hill, overtaking the fire pokemon until he came close enough to do a flying tackle at me.

"Uh..." I said as I tried to open my arms to catch him, but he still tackled me full on, and we fell to the ground in a heap as I grunted.

He laid on top of me, his arms hugging me tightly and I could hear him crying, "I failed again...I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you..."

I whined, my ears flattening against my head and I hugged him back, "Easy Zane...it's okay...besides, Steve just became way more of a concern than he was before. I'll tell you all about it later."

We eventually broke apart and sat up on the ground, and I looked over at Charmander.

"Thanks for finding him for me."

The fire type huffed and closed his eyes, turning away from us, "Whatever...it's no big deal."

"No." Zane said and he looked at the Charmander himself, "It is. Thank you Charmander, really. Ruli means everything to me. Thank you for finding me and bringing me to him."

The pokemon became clearly flustered, as he turned away even more, but I noticed the deep blush that showed on his otherwise orange cheeks. "Wha-whatever! Seriously, it's no big deal...I was just making us even for saving me back in that facility, that's all!"

"Even so." Zane said and he reached into his backpack, and he brought out several wrapped sandwiches, and he handed them to the fire type. "Here, these are for you."

"What?" The Charmander turned back towards us, looking at the food, "All those?"

"I made these in preperation as I was getting ready to go look for Ruli myself. They're yours." Zane nodded and he pushed them towards the pokemon, who carefully took them. He could barely hold them all, he had to lean back a bit to do so.

"Are you serious?" He asked again, looking at Zane as he had to slightly move to the side to be able to see him with the pile of sandwiches in his hands.

Zane chuckled, "Yes I'm serious take em. With that much food maybe you'll be able to leave travelers on the path alone for awhile yeah?"

The Charmander nodded slowly, "Y-yeah..."

Zane smiled and he looked back to me "Come on. Let's head back to town quick, everyone's waiting for us."

_______________________

Charmander had left us on the pathway, returning to his own home. He had stayed mostly silent the whole way back, and it was now almost night. His goodbye was silent and slightly somber.

Indeed, everyone was waiting for us. I thought he had meant it was just going to be Silver and Fredrick waiting, but it was the whole dang town. Everyone had seen the giant robot, and everyone knew I had been taken. They seemed really relieved that I was back, and Rosy was the first to speak when the cheering had eventually stopped.

"You rest up for a few days, and we'll finish out our battle. How's that sound."

Zane was about to speak, but I stepped in and said, "No, no rest, I'm perfectly fine, let's finish what was interrupted right now."

He looked at me worriedly a moment, "Are you sure?" I nodded, and he looked at Rosy.

"Seems he doesn't want to wait." He chuckled and shrugged a bit.

Rosy grinned, "Oh that's fun! All right then! A rematch it is!"

The crowd cheered, and we all quickly marched into the stadium.

We took our positions as the crowd took the stands. We had an audience this time, I didn't let them phase me, as I stood ready and eager, fists clenched up into fists. Raze was back on a necklace on my neck, glowing brightly as I faced down the same Vileplume from before.

"Are you ready to start where we left off?!" Rosy shouted across the stadium at me and Zane, and I yowled in challenge as Zane shouted back.

"Hell yes!"

"Vileplume use Stunspore!"

"Don't let it touch you Ruli!" Zane shouted at me, as the Vileplume shook its giant petals, yellow flakes flittering out into the air at me, directed by the way she tilted her head. I rolled to the side, as the spores filled the air where I had stood just a moment ago.

"Quick attack! get in close!" Zane shouted at me and I dashed forward at the large grass type as I come out from my roll, leaving a slight white streak behind me.

"I don't think so! Grass Knot!" Rosy called out, and the Vileplume grew flat a moment for some reason, but then I saw something burrowing through the ground at me. Vines of grass suddenly exploded out as I flew over it, and it grabbed onto my leg and footpaw.

I tripped, grunting as I fell to the ground on my chest. I looked down at the tangle of grass on my feet, wrapped tightly around my ankle and quite literally knotted around my leg. I reached down and started to struggle with it, trying to pry it off, but it was on there good.

"Stunspore again Vileplume!" I looked back up to my opponent, as she lowered her petals again before fanning them out towards me, another thick cloud of yellow spores flying at me.

"I don't think so!" I growled out and I felt my body surge with the same feeling I had gotten back in the facility, and I opened my muzzle as I yowled out, a bright light growing before it shot out in pulsing waves.

"Whoa!" I heard Zane gasp in realization, "When did you learn that!?"

My Dragon Pulse attack blasted through the cloud of spores, dispersing the thick cloud of spores into the air so that it missed me, only flittering down to the ground far off from me. My attack itself continued through the air at the Vileplume, but she cleverly flattened herself just in time for it to go above her big petals.

"Her body is very squishy..." Raze thought in my head, "It's unlikely any physical attack would actually do much damage to her, Fighting type moves won't do much."

"Then we'll stick to a dragon type move!" I grinned and I took a deep breath again, my maw glowing as I readied another dragon pulse. I yowled out as the beam fired from my maw, and again, the Vileplume flattened herself against the ground.

I continued trying to fire dragon pulse at her, but the interval between each attack was too long, and it gave her enough time to raise back up and ready herself to flatten again.

This was going nowhere I realized a bit, I wasn't used to the move enough yet to charge it fast enough.

"What now?" Raze asked and I thought to myself quickly.

"She might be squishy, but what happens if I attack that squishy body after it's already squished down?"

"Hmmm, that's a good question, let's find out." Raze growled lightly and I grinned, just firing off another wave of dragon pulse before I began running forward.

"Ruli!?" Zane called out to me, but I assured him with a quick thought while pulling my paw back, gathering my energy into it for a force palm.

Vileplume flattened herself once more, my attack flying just over her head. I closed my jaw and jumped, my attack fading into the air as I flew up over her as she was flat against the ground.

"Vileplume, look out!" Rosy shouted, but it was too late. Vileplume was just starting to rise back up, as I planted my force palm right into the middle of her large petal like head.

She was already flattened out, so she was not able to absorb the impact of my attack, and I heard her scream under her own petals as the blast from my paw pushed her tight into the ground, cracks forming around us until the blast faded. I stood on her petals a moment, wondering if I had knocked her out with that one.

But that was when the petals start to quiver rapidly, and she shook under me.

"W-whoa..." I growled as I tried to keep my footing, but it was proving difficult, and I had to lay down quickly.

It was then that she shot up, and blasted me off her body and up into the air!

"Ah!" I yowled as I flailed in the air, trying to tell up from down a moment until I came crashing to the ground.

"Stunspore quick!" Rosy shouted out as I landed, and I grunted and groaned, picking myself up slowly. I didn't feel too damaged, but that was when I saw the yellow spores flittering around in the air around me.

"Oh no..." I gasped out, but then became locked up, suddenly barely able to move.

"You've been paralyzed!" Raze growled at me and I looked back and forth with my eyes, barely able to move as I looked at the Vileplume.

"Oh...shot..." I said out slowly, my jaw locking up each time I tried to form words, and I slowly tried to lift myself up from the ground again.

"Excellent! Now to finish this up, Petal Dance!"

The Vileplume began to pounce up and down in place, releasing hundreds of red and pink petals from her head. They floated in the air around it freely until they suddenly began to shot out at me, one after the other.

One sliced by me, cutting through my fur on my cheek, and at first, I thought it had down nothing, until I felt the think trickle of blood go down it and I went wide eyed. Another sliced into my arm, and another my leg. The volume slowly increased, until I was getting sliced by two at time, then three, four, five. They kept coming, eventually until I was almost covered in them. I tried to move, to swat them away with my arms, but all I could really do was continue to feel them slice my skin.

It lasted for what seemed like forever, until finally, it ended. The petals dispersed from me, but they floated about in the air still.

I panted and groaned, red lines etched all along my body and in my fur, drops of my blood dripping down from my paws and arms onto the ground around me. I had one eye closed, a cut close to it. I fell to one knee, my body felt really numb. All these cuts weren't that vital on their own, but there was so many on my body now, some of them more deep than the rest.

"Ruli!" Zane yelled out to me as I caught myself with my paws, still on one knee as I panted. The paralysis was still affecting me, but it was starting to wear off, I was able to move faster now.

"Seems once wasn't enough." Rosy grinned, "Your Lucario is really strong. Continue the dance! Finish him off!"

The Vileplume started to bob up and down in place again, and the petals that fluttered around in the air around me began to shot around me again, and I yowled out as they added on even more cuts and slices to my body. They cut through the older cuts, giving me x like marks, and a few new ones in places not yet cut.

I fell forward, just as the attack ended, the petals falling to the ground this time with me. I hit the ground with a soft sigh, my fur red with blood and cut.

"D-damn it..." I groaned through half closed eyes, staring at the ground as the crowd was cheering.

"Seems there's not much to do now..." Raze whispered sadly, "That attack did you in."

"No way..." I growled and clenched my paws into fists, pushing at the ground and lifting myself up. "I'm not...going to just lay down and quit yet."

The crowd was quiet as I rose up slowly to my knees again, and I glared out at the Vileplume. I was slowly trying to get to my feet when I heard Zane's voice in my head.

"Stop Ruli..."

I blinked, looking back at him as I panted, "What?! Why?! I can win! I know I can!"

"I don't care about winning. I care more about you. I have little doubt you could Ruli, but look at yourself..."

I continued to stare back at him, then looked at my legs and body slowly a moment, covered in numerous cuts and marks, blood lining my fur as it slowly trickled down onto the ground. I closed my eyes and whimpered a moment, the cuts stung.

I nodded slowly, "Yeah...yeah...you're right..." There was no point in pushing myself to the point of fainting once again, and I knew Zane didn't like seeing me get hurt.

"Rosy!" Zane yelled out in voice then, "Ruli's too damaged, and I know we can't win now. We -forfeit the mat-"

"HELL NO!"

The entire arena went silent at the loud shout that rang through the room, and everyone's gaze turned toward it at the doorway. I gasped loudly.

"Charmander!?"

The fire type stood in the doorway, his flame tip tail flaring brightly as he shouted, "You're just gonna quit!?" He stomped into the stadium a few feet, everyone shouting out at him to go away. The whole town didn't like him, but he stomped out into the middle of the arena and stood between me and the Vileplume. He spread his arms out wide as he growled and bared his teeth.

"Figures, leave a fire type to do a steel types job." He growled and I grimaced.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him and coughed a moment.

"I followed you, and watched. No way I'm gonna let you quit and lose. If you can't win..." He looked back at me and grinned, "Well...I guess I just need to give you a bit of a hand then."

"What's going on Ruli!?" Zane shouted to me, and I linked my mind to his quickly.

"He want's to fight for you?!"

"What?!" Rosy shouted and she grimaced, "No way! I'm not going to let that little menace stay here! Vileplume, Sludge Bomb!"

"No!" Now I stood in front of Charmander, and I growled, Vileplume stopping herself before she launched another attack. I told Zane to repeat what I was saying to her as I panted and held out a paw.

"This Charmander helped me escape, whatever reason he has for attacking travelers is his own, but he's told me before that he hates trainers. For whatever reason, he's here to fight. He says he wants to take my place, but in reality that means he's fighting for Zane." I looked back at the fire type with a little grin. "Right?"

"Well..." He whispered lightly and looked away from me, staring at the ground. The flame on his tail dimmed slightly, as if showing that he was embarrassed.

I turned back to Rosy. "I know it goes against the rules, but maybe we can postpone, again, and have an actual rematch. If what he's wanting is real, then Zane has three members now, and we can have an actual full three on three battle."

Rosy listened to Zane as he finished translating for me, and the crowd stayed silent as she thought, until she shook her head, "No, no rematch..." The crowd started to whisper and Rosy lifted up Vileplumes pokeball, the beam of red light touching her and she was sucked back into the ball.

"I forfeit instead." She said as she stepped out into the middle the field, the crowds whispering only grew louder as she continued, "If!" she shouted out, "That Charmander turns to Zane right now, and lets itself get captured."

"Huh?" The lizard pokemon balked, eyes going wide as it looked surprised. He turned to Zane, "L-let myself get caught?"

"Can you do it?" Rosy asked him directly, "Walk up to a trainer and let yourself get caught? Can you let yourself trust a trainer when you hate them?"

"Well..." he started, staring over at Zane, then over at Rosy, who he grimaced at, then back to Zane, and his face relaxed again. "Yeah...I can, when it's him..." The lizard pokemon walked up to Zane slowly, and he reached into his pocket, taking out one of the pokeballs he had, and he tapped the button on it which made it grow big in his palm.

Charmander stopped in front of Zane, staring at the ball pointedly before he looked up at Zane's face, and I saw him smile. "Thanks for the sandwiches...you're way better than those trainers who stole my friends..." And with that, before I could even ask him about that comment, he touched the button on the ball with his paw, and it opened up, sucking him into it with a flash of red light and it clicked close in Zane's palm.

Rosy waited a few moments, as Zane stood up with the ball in his hand and then she grinned and did one of her little happy jumps into the air, "Yes! Amazing! You're just so amazing!!"

"What just happened?" Zane asked her and she giggled, the entire crowd started to cheer a bit.

She wagged her finger at him, "I tried making friends with him for ages! Every time he would scratch me or something. I gave up and then he started attacking people on the trail."

"You didn't mention he was your pokemon." Zane said as Rosy came close to him.

"Oh no, he wasn't mine, at least I tried to make him mine though. When you're a grass type trainer, it's a good idea too keep one type the exact opposite as yours in case you ever come across someone using something super strong against grass types ya know. He refused every attempt I made to become friends though, and I couldn't battle him so I could catch him then."

She shrugged, "When I stopped visiting him though, he started attacking people, and we still couldn't get rid of him. Somehow though, YOU'VE made friends with him! That's amazing!"

Rosy dug into her pocket herself then, pulling out a badge, thin badge colored brown like a stick, a single green leaf attached to it. "I'm more than willing to give a badge to someone like you. Our battles were intense, and although you didn't win, you've proven you're more than worthy of having this badge to me."

"Are you serious?" Zane said in disbelieve, as I managed to walk up next to him. I still felt stiff and numb, but I wasn't going to faint anytime soon, and I couldn't believe what was happening either.

"Yeah I am. You made friends with a pokemon even I couldn't, and we share the same bonds with our pokemon in a way." She smiled at him and looked at me, which made Zane blush. she held the badge out farther to him, "In a way, you did beat me. Take it Zane, it's all yours."

He slowly took the badge from her hand and he smiled, "All right!" He turned to me then, "This was a really unexpected turn of events, but we have a new friend too!"

I nodded and smiled, looking at the pokeball he still held in his other hand. "Yeah we do. This has been quite an eventful few days."

I groaned and hugged Zane then, "I'm ready for a few days of vacation..."

"Hehe me too bud, me too." He hugged me back and Rosy clapped her hands rapidly, as the crowd soon joined in. I felt Silver at my legs as he rubbed up against them and I smiled brightly.

_____________________

Returning to the pokemon center, I was sprayed with medicine all over my body. It eased the pain and itching of the many cuts I had received in the battle. The nurse told us that they were minor wounds and they'd heal quickly overnight though.

In the hotel like room, Zane was already sleeping in his bed, and Charmander and Silver were sleeping with me in the other bed. Contact with his body no longer burned me for some reason, and when I asked Zane about it, Fredrick explained that Pokeballs were installed with a device that lowered the internal temperature of fire types, even when they were out of their pokeballs, so that they would not harm other members of a trainers team. The fire type would suffer no ill affects, and when in battle, the device would turn off so they could produce flames and attack.

"That's incredible." Raze said to me, as the Charmander was pressed up close to me in the bed, Silver was on the other side of him, the lizard pokemon's arms wrapped around him, and mine wrapped around them both. Even the flame of his tail had been dialed down, only slightly warming up the bed. "How can such a thing be possible? Humans can even bring together a steel type and a fire type without issue..."

I chuckled slightly, "You missed a lot over the centuries Raze. Humans and technology has been so developed when it comes to pokemon it seems."

"Or pokemon found out how to make such devices and told humans how to." He mused, "Some pokemon have very high intelligence, I'm willing to bet teams of pokemon and humans created pokeballs and other things, even the medicine humans use to help us heal."

"You think huh? There's no way to tell though hehe, unless we actively looked for answer."

"There's more important things to worry about now too."

"Yeah I know..." I growled softly, gripping my two friends close to me a moment. Charmader's body felt warm and nice, now that it was just slightly warm and not blazing enough to make my bones overheat.

"We've got to be careful from now one." Raze said, "Team Flare is a serious threat, if they're trying to copy the power of Megas and awaken Calamity. Wherever we find them even, we have to search for the other mega stones."

I nodded and yawned, "Yeah I know..." I repeated tiredly, closing my eyes to sleep. "Tomorrow though Raze...too much has happened."

He chuckled, "All right all right...I suppose the way things go, it still isn't really urgent. Being that Team Flare knows you're able to become a mega, we'll see more of them soon."
