The Young Little Girl

Eusine's voice carried a mix of awe and concern as he addressed the trio. "The statues in the tower... They were touched by someone. Someone with a mysterious power. It seems their touch awakened the legendary beasts and set this series of events into motion."

Ren's eyes widened in realization. "So, someone intentionally awakened them? But who would do such a thing?"

Eusine's expression grew somber. "I don't know, but I fear that whoever it is, they may have ulterior motives. The legendary beasts are not to be taken lightly. They possess immense power and can bring about both destruction and harmony."

Mayu's brows furrowed as she considered the implications. "If someone intentionally awakened the beasts, what do they hope to achieve? And why here, in Ecruteak?"

Eusine's gaze turned determined. "That is what we need to find out. We must investigate this further, uncover the truth behind these events, and prevent any further calamities."

Mayu hesitated for a moment, clutching the stopwatch tightly in her hand. She had grown increasingly disturbed by the nightmares it seemed to trigger, and she knew she needed to distance herself from its influence. With a deep breath, she approached Morty, her eyes filled with a mix of uncertainty and relief.

"Morty, I've been having these nightmares ever since I found this stopwatch in Ilex Forest," she began, her voice quivering slightly. "It's been haunting me, reminding me of my past and the painful memories I've tried to bury."

Morty looked at her with a compassionate expression, understanding the weight she carried. "I see," he said softly. "Sometimes, objects can hold great power, even if we don't fully comprehend it. It's possible that this stopwatch is somehow connected to your past, and its presence has awakened those memories within you."

Mayu nodded, her grip loosening on the stopwatch. "I can't bear to keep it any longer. It's too much for me to handle. Morty, would you be willing to hold onto it for me? Perhaps you can investigate its origins or find a way to help me make peace with my past."

Morty reached out, his hands gently taking hold of the stopwatch. "Of course, Mayu. I will do everything in my power to assist you. Rest assured, I will keep it safe and explore its mysteries. Together, we'll find a way to bring you the closure and peace you seek."

Mayu sighed in relief, a weight lifted from her shoulders as she relinquished the troubling artifact. She knew she had entrusted it to someone capable and understanding, someone who would delve into its secrets with the utmost care.

"Well then, I'll take my leave. I must go find Suicune.", Eusine said and left. "I must leave too.",Morty said. "Well then, where should we go from here?",Ren asked. "The path from here leads us to both Olivine and Mahogany. I say we go to Olivine because it's the only place in all of Johto where we Kantonians don't have to worry about caught. It goes easy on us.",Raiden said. "What are we waiting for? Let's head out first thing in the morning.",Mayu said.

The group agreed with Mayu's suggestion and decided to set off for Olivine City first thing in the morning. They knew that reaching Olivine would provide them with some respite from the constant tension and suspicions they had faced as Kantonians in Johto.

As night fell, they settled into their camp, each lost in their own thoughts. Raiden gazed into the starry sky, pondering the journey that lay ahead. Ren sat by the campfire, quietly contemplating the challenges they had faced and the bonds they had formed. Mayu, now relieved of the haunting nightmares, found solace in the tranquility of the night, her newfound Eevee resting peacefully at her side.

The next morning, with a renewed sense of purpose, the trio packed up their belongings and prepared to embark on the road to Olivine City. They bid farewell to Ecruteak and its rich history, grateful for the experiences and friendships they had forged there. They had managed to get very close to Olivine. Freedom was just moments away. Raiden came outside to get some fresh air but he was suddenly disturbed by the sight of finding an injured little girl.
