"Sorry, but we have our own plans" Konnyr told her. "Yeah! We're going to start a Pokmon sanctuary, like the Aether foundation to help rare, endangered, or abused pokemon" Tonni told her enthusiastically.

"There's an island south of twin leaf town, that's where we plan to create the sanctuary" Konnyr told her. Tonni swooped down, going into the basement of the destroyed building. He came back up with a sack full of pokeballs. "We're going around to all the bases to rescue all the potentially abused pokemon there, I'm going to team Emotion's base and Konnyr is going to Knowledge" Tonni said as he started to leave for lake Verity.

Ashley nodded. "A nobel cause," She said approvingly. "Well, I hope our paths cross again," "Fly-gon," Dusty agreed, giving what looked a bit like a salute.

Sandstorm and Konnyr waved goodbye as they flew away to lake Acuity.

Sylver and Leo finally arrived back in Hearthome city. "Lets see... I have three badges right now, from Roark, Fantina, and Gardenia, I'm going to challenge crasher wake next, so I'll be going now, love you bro" Sylver said as she started to leave

Ashley arrived at Hearthstone city not long later. She looked around and sighed.
"Usually most trainers have a badge or three under their belt when the get here..."
"Gon?"
"But I'm not most trainers!"
"Flyyyy!"
"Come on Dusty! This is what we trained for!"
"Gon! Fly-Gon!"

"Hey, you're... Ashley, right?" A young boy said as he approached Ashley. "I'm Leo, not sure if you remember me, but we were at the Giratina battle together" Leo said, his Quagsire and infernape at his side.

"Yeah, that's me. And you remember Dusty here. What's up Leo?" Ashley asked, patting Dusty.

"You're on a quest to collect all he badges right? My big sister is collectin all the badges and challenging the league too, if you want to find her, she just went to challenge crasher wake" Leo said, pointing in the direction she went.

"Ok. Thanks Leo!" Ashley said, and she and Dusty set out.

When Ashley was headed to Pastoria, a strange figure with demon like wings glided overhead, landing in trees nearby, where yellow eyes could be seen glowing in the shadows.

Ashley strolled down the street, Dusty gliding lazily overhead. "So, what do you think the gym leader's like?" She asked. "Fly, Flygon Fly..." "I think they're gonna be real tough, but a strategist as well. It sure is peaceful here though,"
