After the fast hug received by Seikatsu, so rapid that he hadn't been able to hug back, Piers observed Latios flying up into the sky until he disappeard among the black clouds and the stars: Hoenn's sky was really sensational, so much that Piers closed the door before the owner would yell at him with the usual talks about the youngs dressed like him were good for nothing, only able to make mess. Piers was always ready to talk back that he was able to do many other things too, but he was too tired for that, without counting that the day had been really intense, also on the emotional side. As a matter of fact, Piers couldn't fall asleep: he thanked Seikatsu for having chosen the room for him with a balcony, where he went and lighted a cigarette, staying to gaze the stars and the moon in the sky, meanwhile a light fresh breeze was moving his hair. Between a breath and another, Piers found himself to think about his life: since two years he was a free singer, although for almost fifteen years he had realised his dream, and since almost ten years he had been able to be noticed, at least in Galar. For ten years, he had to converge his passion with the Gym Leader job, even without suspecting that outside Galar there was someone who could appreciate him as an artist and not as a Trainer or Gym Leader. In Galar he was still marked as Spikemuth's Gym Leader, and it was a scar on his skin, but maybe in Hoenn he could start from zero how Seikatsu had suggested him: having a concert with a scenography thought by her it would had made him knowing in Hoenn as Piers the singer and not as Piers the Gym Leader. He found himself to raise up the corners of his mouth when he thought about Seikatsu: that girl was able to change behaviour and mood at the speed of a snap, she was able to be respected by her talking Pokémon, although they teased her. All of his fangirls were members of Team Yell, girls that basically knew everything about him, and they were all true and real fanatics. The other fans he had around Galar or were some posers who wanted just to be noticed, or they were affectionated to him for the Gym Leader story. Anyway, Piers had never been interested in a fangirl: the girls he had were all random knowledge, they weren't alternative , nor his fans. But Seikatsu somehow had attracted him: maybe it was her unusual body-shape, which the thought about holding it made him start to think about his explicit lyrics songs, maybe it was the outfit style, but it could be also that she knew how to prevail no matter what. Moreover, she wasn't a crazy fan, except for those moments where she blushed or she agreed too much or when she treated him like a diamond, he felt treated as a common person and he liked that a lot, it made him feeling very well. Without noticing it too much, Piers found himself singing with his mouth closed, moving his head and beating the surface of the little table with the fingers of the free hand, beating the foot on the ground and thinking about some phrases to put into a lyrics for a song. Without noticing, Piers had come to create a new song after almost two weeks of atrophy. He couldn't play his guitar as well, but he could write down the melody and the lyrics words, so he came back into the room and looked for his little notebook to write the songs and he turned on his pc and wore the headphones, linking them to the pc to make the instrumental base: he was so taken by inspiration so much that he couldn't sleep, so he preferred to stay awake and working than staying awake and rolling in the bed without doing anything.

Seikatsu, after the fast hug to Piers, she was still red and felt her face in flames, as they had flown above Mount Chimney. The heart was still racing like a Rapidash which was using Flare Blitz, Latios didn't comment as he already knew that Seikatsu wouldn't had closed eye that night, so he gave a telepathic sign to all those Pokémon which were in the sky in that moment and had intention to stay awake, so Seikatsu could had a nocturne flight to clear her mind. Latios would have stayed with her, but the next day, he had to carry along her and the others with Latias, so he couldn't allow himself to stay awake too much more. They landed on the Eon Island, only accesible just with Latios or Latias only, where Seikatsu had a small house: at the zero floor she had kitchen and living room joint together, with another room for the bathroom, meanwhile upstairs there was her room which occupied the entire floor. Living with just two Pokémon inside, as Latios stayed outside with Latias and the others Pokémon had found their own environment where to live around Hoenn, Seikatsu didn't need a big house, also because Zoroark and Banette had partners but they liked so much sleeping on the bed with her. Seikatsu's house was quite clean and fine, as Banette used to be the housewife.

When they reached the island, Latias greeted everybody very cheerfully and lovingly, making Seikatsu smiling, and she was holding Morgrem asleep, like he was a baby. Seikatsu opened her house's door, followed by Banette, which was dragging Zoroark by his ankles as he was snoring with his tongue sticked out. Seikatsu put to sleep every Pokémon and she laid on the bed with them, but she started to gaze at the various wallpapers of Piers on the wall: none of those pictured him dressed as the Dark-Type Gym Leader, but or they were covers from his albums or just him dressed as a goth, without letting known about his Gym Leader's job. One of those had him in a concert, shirtless, and Seikatsu blushed a lot and hoped that Piers would never come into her bedroom. Indeed, during the coming back to home, Banette had commented:"Among all the touristic attractions, you haven't mentioned the Eon Island. You don't wanna show your posters. It's not about Latias' security, right hormonated kiddo?" Seikatsu hadn't talked back and she wanted to neither, and plus Morgrem and Zoroark were sleeping, so she didn't want to bother them with throwing Banette into the water or just throwing him and catching after, making him screaming anyways.

Seikatsu was laying on her bed, surrounded by Morgrem, Banette and Zoroark, gazing at Piers' posters: until that day he was just a picture, a voice that she listened to daily and which kept her company when she didn't feel to talk, or she felt understood when it seemed to her that no one could do. Now Piers was real, and he was becoming part of her life somehow. She sighed, understanding that she wouldn't had closed eye that night, so she got up without waking up the three which were sleeping on her bed, and went out, finding Noivern in front of her:"Latios has called you, right?" Seikatsu asked her smiling. Meanwhile, Noivern nodded and gave her a sign to jump on her back. Seikatsu obeyed and got on the Pokémon, then Noivern left and flew up as she felt her Trainer fixed on her back.

Flying up into the sky, Seikatsu looked at the cities from above, all lighten up and marvelous, then she looked around her and admired the moon and the stars around in the sky, with Noivern. Seikatsu thought about Piers, about how he could had become real and part of her life, making her realising that Piers was really a human being like the others, and that he could appear different from what he was, or better, from how he wanted to be seen. Seikatsu hoped that by knowing him things wouldn't got worse, but she had to set herself free from seeing him as he was someone unattainable, as he was sent from above, as he was a gift from Rayquaza or from any other Dragon-Type Legendary Pokémon.

Seikatsu flew for a long time, until she saw the first signs of the dawn, and there she understood that it was tome to come back, that a new day alongside Piers, not only as a voice, would had started: she felt her heart racing and happily she said to Noivern:"My beauty Noivy, let's go home. Let's rest a bit. Thank you!" Noivern made happy noises than she flew back to the Eon Island. Even Piers went to sleep at the beginning of the dawn once he completed the song, satisfied with his work for the moment. Seikatsu and Piers, without knowing, went to sleep almost at the same identical time.
