Lucario had been traveling all over town, picking up vital supplies for the Guild. He made sure they had enough medical supplies in case Melody were to be unavailable, plenty of food and consumables, as well as picking up on local rumors floating around that could aid them in their endeavors. One of the best places to do so was the resturaunt of former explorer Takeo Feuille, whom he had worked with personally in the past. Plus, it was a good place to grab a quick bite to eat.

When Spirit arrived there, he saw Tzerah the Luxray had returned from tracking, and she looked completely exhausted. [color=004b80]"Takeo, two fillet apples if you'd please... Tzerah, you look like you haven't slept in weeks, I know I've asked this in the past, but I'm concerned about your well being at this point..."[/color] Ever since there had been word that Flash had been spotted nearby, he'd noticed her becoming... different. She was more protective, on guard, easily provoked, and just overall tired, as if sleep were a foreign thing to her now. If all else failed, he would eventually resort to forcing her to see Melody and get some kind of remedy to help her ease her mind at night.

The sun was rising higher into the sky now, piercing through the curtains and windows of the room the twins were sleeping in. One of the beams of light hit Lulu right in the face, forcing her into a groggy state of awareness. Her eyes barely open due to the suddenness of the light, she felt around her and found herself back in her bed. She stood up and walked over to close the curtains... wait... she walked over without any pain or difficulty... she was perfectly fine now! Once again it seemed that Mrs. Melody had worked her magic. She closed the curtains before the sunlight could rouse her brother, who she guessed would still be concerned about her well being. She quietly sneaked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Down in the lobby she saw a sight that made her beam. What could that sight be? Nothing short of her best best friend in the whole wide world! [color=7ea7d8]"Krissy, what are you doing here?"[/color] Said Lulu as she bounced forward, the Kirlia named Krissy in front of her embracing her in a friendly hug. [color=f49ac2]"Lulu, I heard what happened... you're okay now though? Right?"[/color] Lulu over-exaggerated the point by performing a perfect back-flip, even sticking the landing. [color=7ea7d8]"I think that answers the question, your mom really knows what she does!"[/color] At hearing that Krissy let out a sigh of relief. Then she waved her on. [color=f49ac2]"Come on, everybody's already waiting, we were going to start without you but I stopped by to see how you were. I'm glad I did, now everyone can see you're fine!"[/color] Lulu beamed at the suggestion, the secret meeting place of her and her friends that even Rico didn't know about! [color=7ea7d8]"What are we waiting for? Let's Go!"[/color]

The shadow of a Pokemon can be seen, it is sitting at a table, seemingly reading a book. [color=a187be]"Hmm, so it was Go-Getters who stopped the first catastrophy of the world, but not many Pokemon still remember that today... nor what the threat actually was. Fortunately, this ancient library has just what I need to learn the truth, and maybe... hmm, so that Pokemon will be an annoyance that will most likely stand in my way. He will have to be eliminated for my plan to succeed. For that... I will need... help..."[/color]
