	It was a long, hard battle with Giratina, and I didn't know if it was going to end, but, eventually, after another one of my attacks, which he didn't seem to respond to, I saw a bright light, a rip in the space behind Giratina, and an opportunity. I made a mad dash for what seemed like a rip in the universe, knowing that Giratina couldn't do any damage to me as I did so, and I somehow found myself on a somewhat tough hospital bed, my vision blurry, I could make out the colors white and pink. "Celes...?" I called out to the shape forming in front of me. Once I could see that it was, indeed, Celes, I got up, and asked "Was that... all a dream? Did we even fight Reshiram? Did we team up with Anthony?" of course, once she got close enough, I tried to hug her, still recovering from what just happened. "Celes... I don't know what happened back there, but thank you for not leaving me alone," I didn't know what else to say to her, though I did notice an oddly familiar wooden badge in one of her ribbons. The doctor finally came in, and she seemed... somewhat happy, maybe? "Oh... good... you've... made... a... recovery... but... you... still... need... more... rest..." she explained extremely slowly, which was annoying to me. I tried my best to hide my annoyance with that, and she left the room... apparently, I didn't need rest badly enough that I couldn't take on a mission of some sort. Once we were alone, again, I asked Celes "Celes... are you sure we're doing the right thing by taking these crystals? I... I'm not so sure, myself, anymore..."

	I was about to use Muddy Water on the rockruff, but it seems like Josh had it covered with nothing more than a single Hydro Pump expertly aimed at the tiny rock-type dog... poor thing didn't have a chance, but I just shrugged, and continued on, Daniel following behind me. Reshiram seemed to answer Miles' sarcastic comment with "Indeed! I hope my brother won't be too mad at us for that wall of flame, as well," surely, Reshiram knew that Miles was being sarcastic, right? Either way, continuing on lead us to a slope downwards. I tried my best not to slip on the ice, again, but, unfortunately, I had little to no traction on this stuff, and I slid all the way down as if it were a slide, or something. Daniel just flew alongside me, probably just making sure I don't hurt myself, and it seemed like Reshiram was having some trouble with the lower ceiling around the slope, but he made sure to let everyone else go in ahead of him, just in case he couldn't follow us. The other side of the slope seemed to present us with an icy maze, of sorts... the ice was also clear, and reflective, making it even harder to figure things out... and worse, I could see some shadows just beyond the first turns, or at least, where I thought the first turns were. "Hm..." I seemed to wonder out loud, before finally coming to the conclusion of "Maybe we should try to see if we can get Reshiram through here... I'd rather not have to deal with a maze of mirrors, and invisible walls, especially if one of us is capable of melting the maze," I then looked back to see Reshiram still struggling... I suppose a larger size has some disadvantages.

	After a short while, I came to my senses, just to see Dexter attacking our sleeping client. "Dexter! Rebecca! That attack was my fault, I should have known better than to try to shake a psychic type awake," I then tried to have our client talk, and even though he took an ember to his back, he simply muttered "Mister Badguy couldn't have possibly been in that room, and these mints prove nothing... stop wasting the court's time... I find the defendant guilty..." he... he was still asleep after that. After getting shaken, and taking a super-effective attack. "Rebecca... you wouldn't happen to have enough extra money for a double-chesto coffee would you? Or... failing that, some smelling salts, perhaps?" I then wondered if they actually heard what I said, but unfortunately, I couldn't quite recall what I said, myself. The bronzor just floated there, almost completely unresponsive to the world around him, and I really have to wonder why he decided to just fall asleep in the cafe, of all places. Surely he didn't live here, right? I then had to wonder what, exactly COULD get a response out of him, and pictured a few humorous events that he could probably sleep through. [i]With how this guy sleeps, the entire cafe could be on fire, and he'd just sleep through it, waking up in a broken building, wondering what the heck happened...[/i] was among the situations I thought of while he slept there, muttering about some sort of court case involving a washing machine, somehow.

	Once Larry came in and shouted everyone awake, I heart Tini say something about 'almost having him', and I asked "Were you dreaming about fishing, Tini?" of course, that only assumed that anyone on this planet could understand Tini's dreams. Eralion seemed to mumble and grumble a bit about Larry's yelling, to which I responded with "Well, it's kind of his job to be loud... that being said, I wouldn't mind if he didn't yell at us every morning," he then said good morning to me, and I added "And a good morning to both of you, of course," with my unusual happiness and pep. With that same pep, I decided to check out the job board for anything remotely interesting, and I found, on the outlaw board, an all too familiar gallade. Last time one of us saw him, he was with my father... this... couldn't be good. The mission statement read...

	'WANTED: Unknown Gallade 
	(Insert picture here)
	Location: Mt. Pinnacle
	Bounty: 4,000 poke
	Reason: Has been suspected of kidnapping, torture, and possible murder.'

This was a bit of a departure from the usual two-bit con men, or petty criminals that were usually on the board, and his crimes seemed to fit the brief and not very detailed description of his actions in my father's temporary house. I hesitated for a moment before picking it up, just to make sure that nobody else would go there, and try to take on this mission.
