[center][b][i][color=643d65]Giovanni Blackheart[/color][/i][/b] [b]Region: Sinnoh[/b] [b]Location: Sandgem Town[/b][/center] The town wasn't the biggest. It looked like a rural portion of Sinnoh to him. Icirrus was cold as always, but it was big. But here was hot and small. Something that he could be used to... if it didn't had too many people around. They seemed really festive, something he truly despised. [color=643d65][i]People are always using a mask to hide what they really feel for each other. That kind of ridiculous, unworthy, disgusting smile that they put on their faces... how idiotic has human race been since I finally faced its true face.[/i][/color], he thought to himself. Since he couldn't [i]appear[/i] out of nowhere, Giovanni stopped his ability to force people to ignore him as he walked towards Professor Rowan's lab.

No matter where she passed, all that she was able to see was glimpses of her brother. She passed through Floaroma, Solaceon and reached Celestic by following a mere illusion in her way to Sandgem. She sat in a bench and looked at the sky. The clouds passing and the sun's radiance was a beautiful view, but all that she thought was abut her lost brother. Her hurry to rescue him from the darkness of his own heart was really high. But her actual hope was diminishing at every second that passed and that is passing. It seemed almost impossible. She had even asked the people from the twons, but no one seemed to even see him or anything related. [color=e73794][i]Why...? Why must it be so hard? It's just my brother, someone that I know from the day I was born. If I know so much about him... is there some reason for me to be losing in this little hide-and-seek?[/i][/color], she asked herself. Fluffie looked around her with a worried face. While catching her breath, Rafaella gave her little Cottonee a smile as she looked at a photo she was holding. It had her and her brother together in the beautiful snows of Icirrus. Some tears started to fall, but she dried them up and got up. As she looked around, she saw the small shrine in the center of the city. Her beliefs weren't that strong, but she was going to risk everything to find him. Getting near the shrine, she offered some coins and started to pray. [color=e73794]"Please, whoever it may be... listen to my wish I just want to find my brother... I miss him so much. His smile... his white hair... the times we had together... I want all of that back..."[/color], she prayed. As she was doing her prayers, the photo flew away. [color=e73794]"Oh no... my photo!!"[/color], she said while going after it. "Cottonee!!", Fluffie said, flying after it. They ran a little, but a woman got the photo. [color=e73794]"Huff... Haaa... thank you..."[/color], she said. "Oh, how beautiful... is he your boyfriend, dear?", the woman asked. [color=e73794]'Huh? Oh, no, no, no. He's my brother. He came here to Sinnoh and I'm looking for him."[/color], she said. The woman looked at the photo once again. "Oh, I saw him. He went that way, to Sandgem Town.", the woman responded. Upon hearing that and after receiving her photo back, Rafaella rushed towards the route that took to Sandgem Town.
