[color=Lightblue]"She was crying... About... I don't know really. All I heard was something about her father. And, no, I didn't lose her yet. I have an idea of where she might be."[/color] He looked out into the city, out into all the lights, the colors, the movements, and the people... But for some reason he only cared about one person right now. And it wasn't himself. He started to walk out into the crowd of people, and then he stopped, turning around to face the boy with the Maractus. [color=Lightblue]"You coming?"[/color] [h3]11 Hours Later[/h3] The Ferry glided on the crystal clear waters of the ocean surprisingly fast, giving off the illusion that it was floating. As Charlie looked off the front of the boat down into the water he saw many thinks down in the depths. Basculin swimming freely, Mantyke following their parents gliding in the water below, Corsola on the many rocks, even in the gloomy morning sky he still saw the brightness in the ocean below. [color=Lightblue]"You seeing this Beldum?"[/color] The floating steel Pokémon simply nodded. Charlie was still enjoying the scenery when he heard gasps from inside the Ferry, followed by screams. He quickly rushed inside, his Beldum instinctively following. What he saw on the TV screens almost stopped his heart... The Pokémon Lab and the Sanctuary were up in flames. He couldn't bare to hear what the newscaster had to say, but he needed to know if his mother was still alive. [b]"We don't know what or who caused this tragic incident to happen, but the Region's Pokémon Center who recently hosted an event yesterday for the trainers all over the region was suddenly engulfed in flames. We don't know where the Pokémon in the sanctuary have gone, but we do know that 45 sanctuary guards, lab assistants, and scientists were killed in the tragedy. We don't have any words on where the Pokémon Professor is, but her body has not yet been recovered from the reckage."[/b] Charlie gasped along with the rest of the crowd in a panic. He didn't know if she was dead, but it is want confirmed that she was alive. Suddenly a shout from the speakers interrupted his thoughts. "Please brace for impact and stay inside, a storm is approaching." Charlie rushed to the window, looking out at the clear sky... There was no signs of a storm at all. He was walking to the captains quarters when he heard him talking to someone. "What do you mean there's a storm?! It's clear skies for miles!" The man hesitated, but eventually replied sheepishly. [b]"The monitors show it's a class 5 at least. The last time we saw one of those was when that one kid appeared on our shores from the Unova region. He said he saw a... A giant, sir."[/b] Charlie didn't dare risk being caught, so he went back to the main part of the ship, looking for Deneb. [color=Lightblue]"Deneb? Where are you?!"[/color] That's when he saw it. A flash of light and two glowing red orbs. Wherever Deneb was he needed to see this.
