Eevee had a unique move I didn't think it would have. From how much Calem had been training it for me, I wouldn't have figured it's body glew in the dark like a night light

"How useful" I said "Calem had been training you two hard, huh?" Fennekin barked in response, walking along side Eevee. It still makes me wonder why they still choose to stick around

The path through the cave, the name I learned from a few mountain dwellers; Glittering Cave, wasn't all as dark as I expected a cave to be. Glowing stones surrounding the walls fairly lit up the path, only barely. It's a tourist attraction apparently, and this cave could only be reached by riding a Rhyhorn. Talk about luck... good thing I had Z. Even if I felt okay with Fennekin and Eevee touching me, only by the slightest, I still don't think I can handle touching a Pokémon on my own. So how can I possibly ride one so suddenly?

"This cave is pretty beautiful, I guess" I kept looking around "but we're not here to explore" I know I can feel Serena's aura somewhere in this place "you can feel it too, right? Fennie?" Fennekin seemed confused, looking around

There was a new entrance up ahead. Over at that direction held the intense feeling of Serena's aura. It might be my intense wanting to find her, since my head had been all over the place lately. I can't tell for sure if it's all in my head. Having high hope, I kept my Pokémon close-ish, and we entered a brighter part of the cave being lit with actual lights. Probably due to scientist wondering around and searching for fossils, or what I heard

The color red surrounded my sight, not because of my boiling anger that build up too immediately, but because it was two strangers standing in the middle of the cave, wearing nothing but a red uniform, red hair, and red glasses... the perfect description of what Empoleon told Z! Because I was in a gang, it was obvious it was a uniform, and a really tacky one at that...

"Huh?" The female took notice in me before the guy did

"Hm? What's this?" I stood in place, waiting for the right opportunity to snap. The guy smirked and crossed his arms "well, well. Do we have here? A nosy little trainer has come poking around"

"This is a tourist attraction, what do you even mean by that?" I glared

"What did you just- Listen up! We're the fashionable team whose very name makes people tremble in fear; Team Flare!" I jumped over and kicked him between the legs, making him fall in pain. The first thing I did was press my foot on his face like garbage

"I'm shaking" I said in monotone "I'm not here to meet new people, I came for one reason and one reason only" I pressed on his face harder, making him groan. Even if his one arm was holding his crouch and the other was trying to push me away, he was weak compared to me "where is my sister?"

"What?" The girl didn't sound amused "what on earth are you talking about?" She took out a Pokéball "our only goal is to make it so we're the only ones who are happy! Why would we waste time with anyone else? Get out of here, girl! Don't you know not to play with fire?"

"I know all about playing with fire" I kicked the guy's stomach hard and stepped over him to approach the girl

"Stand back!" She send out a Vulpix "don't come any closer! You freak!"

"What's going on here?" Another female grunt, one with light pink in curly twin tail hair, a different uniform from the other two, and strange eye gear, approached us "What are you doing? Don't you know we have work to do?" From the outfit she had one, a suit with a skirt, she seems to be a different rank compared to these losers
