Dusty dodged to the side, but lost sight of Gengar. Ashley caught up a bit later, Slick waddling behind in tip-top shape. Ashley patted Dusty on the neck, who nuzzle her in turn. "I'm glad you're ok..." she whispered. "We came this far, and look," Ashley pulled out a pokeball. "We gotta new partner,"

The boy arrived in Pastoria city, looking around, he noticing a suspicious lack of team Willpower, and like there was some sort of celebration going on. Both his Pokemon had returned to him, and he was relieved. He took off his cloak to seem less noticable, and looked around at all the people of the town, all wearing blue flower crowns and paintings of Azelf everywhere. He approached a blonde girl, who was looking around in amazement, like him, she wasn't wearing a flower crown.

"What's going on here?" He asked, looking around at the bright colors and festivities. "Oh, I heard that team Willpower is gone, and Azelf is free again, I'm Sylver by the way" She introduced herself. The boy nodded "Sorry, nothing against you, but I don't feel comfortable giving my name out to strangers" He apologized

"Yeah, I understand completely, but you wouldn't believe the past few days I've had, it started with me, two misguided Willpower members who destroyed their teams base recent, a girl called Ashley, and a boy called Kai, who's still back in the distortion world because apparently he actually lives there, and my brother" Sylver told him.

"Did you say Kai? You know him? I've been looking for him for such a long time, I finally found the Pokemon stolen from him, and I need to get her back to him, I guess I'll trust you for now, my name's Angel, I'm Kai's boyfriend, and I have to return Shelly to him" Angel introduced himself.

(This is me assuming some time has passed... :l....)

Dusty soared above the landscape, Ashley enjoying the wind in her face. She looked down at the badge case in her hands with a satisfied grin. She had braved Fantina and her ghost types with Slick and Dusty, along with her third pokemon, Eclipse, an Absol. She had returned now to her task at hand: The Search for Shelly, she called it.

Angel glided on the winds beside Sylver, who was riding on a staraptor.

"Goooon!" Dusty exclaimed, still loving the freedom in the air. Ashley laughed aloud, putting the badge case back into her backpack. "Where should we try looking next?" she asked.

"Alright Angel, I'm going to head up to snowpoint to get my badge from there, ready?" Sylver asked, preparing to leave. "Ready when you are, but don't forget Leo has a show in half an hour" Angel reminded her.

Dusty flapped his wings once, glided for a bit, flapped them again. He suddenly gave a loud cry. Ashley frowned. "What's wrong? See somethong?" She looked ahead and saw two people flying on pokemon.

"Oh hey... is that... it is! that's Ashley, my old friend, well, sort of, we kind of met when we accidentally got dragged to the distortion world... it's a long story, you get the point" Sylver explained to Angel. "Huh, that sounds..." As Angel thought for a moment, he suddenly realized he might know who she was talking about. "Complicated" He finished his sentence.

Noelle stood outside, taking photos.
"Alright, Wott. Look a bit more excited," she advised, clicking away

"Hey there, what're you doing?" A young boy asked as he approached Noelle.
