   “ I never thought I’d get to break and enter for justice~. “ Demi mused aloud to himself, watching the large building from a distance. It was just after the ten of them had met to go over their plan, which was relatively basic: Half of them charged the entrance, the other half came through the back. They’d meet in the middle and clear the threat of this building.

  The building in question was the PokeHadron Collider in the Vesryn Region. It seemed hilariously appropriate for so many children of Palkia to meet here, since the scientists trapped inside were studying the very thing they controlled. It was a very interesting science! ... But dangerous in the wrong hands. Hence why, when word spread that some mysterious organization had locked down then building, a mission to stop that bullshit was organized.

  Demi looked back to the other four in his group. Lyla he knew decently well. Marion made him uncomfortable for feeling familiar, and Ananth made him uncomfortable for looking familiar (seriously, who did that guy remind him of???) And Hibiki, well... Why was that bag of bones and whiney sounds even here?

                                  The First Gym of Sinnoh

     It had taken them weeks to prepare for the gym battle. Weeks. Very odd weeks, too. 

     The odd factor had begun rising on the very first day of their journey. While Yuuto and Speck caught a Starly (given the goofy name “Konpeito,”) Dimitri had attracted a Ralts... a Pokemon not native to Sinnoh. And right when he’d written it off as a strange chance, Lydia and him found a Skitty and male Nidoran, while Speck and Yuuto continued to find Pokemon suited to the Sinnoh region.

     He tried hard to write it off. As per gym rules, Lydia and him had to wait outside while the other pair completed their gym battle. His head ached the entire time, but once again... Dimitri wrote it off as nothing special. Just stress.

    Yuuto and Speck returned very quickly, beaming victoriously. 

    “ Piece of cake. You and Lydia will have no problem! “

  “ Just use Macha, right? Psychic attacks should be really effective against rocks, I think? “

   It seemed simple enough. Dimitri had no reason to expect anything more than rock-type Pokemon in the gym. Sighing and massaging his forehead, he turned to Lydia.
