Here she was. Stellanova City, the bustling artistic hub the young musician had longed to visit. Except she wasn't meant to be here on her own.

There was a tinge of sadness to Cici's voice as she sat on the bench by the seafront, singing and strumming her guitar. People passed by, occasionally dropping coins in the case, their lively chatter filling the air as they took their afternoon beachside walks, but the guitarist knew the meaning of the phrase "alone in a crowd" all too well.

It had been for the best, she told herself. After that mess they'd all gotten into, she didn't blame Tommy for wanting to go and focus on training by himself - especially considering the state his Froakie had ended up in from the one-sided fight. And Luna... She should never have dragged a beginner trainer into that.

At least they were all ok. That was what mattered.

As she played the first few chords of another song, the round, blue, fluffy-winged Pokemon at her side looked up. [color=yellow]"C'mon, Dulcet,"[/color] Cici said, glancing down, putting on a hint of a smile. [color=yellow]"Remember what we practiced?"[/color]

The little dragon at her feet started smacking her metallic scales with her tail in time to the music, and as Cici began to sing, the Swablu joined in.

Cici's smile grew. Groups were fragile, breaking under the weight of changing circumstances and conflicting goals - except Pokemon teams. Their bonds held through any hardship, becoming ever stronger. She wasn't alone. She had many close friends, right here.

And soon, she thought, with a tender look at the grey egg nestled under Dulcet's wing, she'd have yet another one.
