The cityscape spanned across the entirety of her vision, proud buildings in steely greys and muted blues rising to meet the day. Reshi watched as neon lights shone brightly despite the harsh sunlight dulling their glow. Each tile was separated by these lights and it enamored her the brilliant hue they glowed.

She truly felt as if she was in a brand new world, spinning in awe. Proceeding theough the town, she realized how similar the layout was to the Opelucid she knew. It was almost as if it was an edited memory…

And yet the more she looked…

“We’re here based on reports our leiges have recieved, remember?” A voice echoed in her mind. “Well it’s nice to spend some time together away from the castle!” Her own voice had responded.

“Stay vigiliant.” He had reminded her, firm, yet not rude.

How long had it been again…?

Right. 3000 years. It felt longer each time she thought of it.

Did she truly-?

…

“My Lady?” A hand clasped her shoulder pulling Reshi from her thoughts. “Are…Are you alright? You seemed to be staring off for awhile.”

“Mm. Just reminiscing.” She replied. “Ah, the change is rather drastic from what you are used to. It is quite a marvel though.” His gaze admired the city, her own following suit.

“Indeed.”

“Please! Listen to what we have to say!!” A voice interrupted the two, catching their attention at a crowd formed around an odd group. White uniforms with a stark emblem.

“What are they doing here.” Tornadus growled. Reshi moved closer, eyes focused on the man speaking towards the crowd.

“Our lord N has combined his power with the legendary god of old and intends to create a new world with his aid! We herald the return of the hero of Unova, founder of this region. Pokémon are different from people. They are living beings who contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. They are beings whose greatness we should acknowledge! Beings who should be freed from our oppression! Think of the harm you are inflicting upon your beloved pokemon on a daily basis! The battles we force them through for our own entertainment, the food we feed them! Are we truly caring for them and giving them the best life possible?! Or are we demeaning them into mere pets!”

The man’s eyes caught hers, and he gave her a warm smile, a waver to her steeled resolve. Something wasn’t right.

His passion and conviction…his words were fervent, and yet something inside them felt hollow. Just who was this man?!

"We, Team Plasma, invite you to join us! We all want to create a new world where people and Pokémon are both free! Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you now... Please, release your Pokémon. And so I end my plea to you today. Thank you one and all for your attention."

*Destino saunters up to Reshi, wearing a pair of shades.*

Destino: Damn, it's so bright out here. Not as bright and as beautiful as myself but nothing could get to those levels. How are you not blinded by this light? Weren't you stuck in a tower sleeping? I don't know for how long but I wish that could be me right now. Honestly, I could do with a slumber like you had. How long was it for? 10 hours or something? That's all I'm gonna do when I'm monarch. Sleep. And it'll be thoroughly deserved too. I mean, who would want to wake up and experience this? Reshino, perhaps you should have kept sleeping. If I was in your situation, I would have kept my slumber going. And the amount of walking you have to do. Eww. Just get someone to carry you around. I know I would.

Reshi stares at the absol for a few moments. “I mean…It is quite bright, I can’t look out over the water for too long without my eyes watering.” She was thankful for the mist clouding a good portion of the sun.

Then they said something that caused her to stop walking, staring at them yet again.

“I was asleep because I almost died Destino.” She deadpanned at them. “Though if you could sleep for 3000 years with no food or water then perhaps you could truly be a legend.” She considered.

“Ah, but you wouldn’t have any contact either. I doubt you could deal without your adoring fans.” Reshi added once more, walking past them without another word. Tornadus followed along, glancing down at the absol for a moment. The small ghost type on his shoulder took a look at the royal as well, before a smirk spread across his waxy face.

“Lio lit loo.” The remark caused the albino ahead to laugh aloud.

“Well said Litwick! Perhaps they wouldn’t even be able to finish without worrying about a split claw!” It seemed as if the two were having a jest at Destino’s expense. All in good fun, of course, she knew better than to cross a line.

“You should be mindful though Litwick, they are a close…” Reshi stopped, halting her gait as she remembered something. She would have spoken out of turn if she continued that sentence. A twinge of pain crossed her heart as she remembered why, but as quickly as it had came it was gone once more.“Ah well, I suppose they’re just a nuisance who wants attention. Carry on Litwick!”

[lightofunova]

As the trio approached the route that lead towards the familiar Opelucid city, Reshi couldn’t help but stop and gasp in awe of the changes before her.

What was once a proud lake that connected to the tower had now all but vanished over the years she had been absent, left in its place lush grass that still yielded the benefits of its predecessor.

She continues on through the new structure built over what was once a rickety old bridge. The marvels of the modern age continue to astonish her…

[lightofunova]

As the Trio entered the bridge, Reshi stopped to admire the architecture. Stiff blue metal beams rose proudly from the water as mists flowed from the large riverbed across the structure.

“Wait…The old bridge is gone..?” She tirned towards her companion who nodded.

Litwick stretched upwards trying to get a good look across the landscape. He could see something coming from under the strong metal grates they walked upon. A loud clanking of metal on metal reached the trio’s ears, and Reshi covered her ears as it passed, clearly shaken.

“What was that?!? Why is the bridge moving?!?” She asked Tornadus once more who laughed. “My Lady it’s not the bridge…look down.” She looked through the grate curiously and saw another structure, as loud as the last approaching. As quickly as it came, it left the area with the same clanking as usual. “What…?”

“It’s a train. Unova grew quite fond of them a few hundred years ago or so. It makes for fast transportation or so I’ve heard.” Reshi continued to stare as another one came along. “It’s quite loud!!” The albino had to yell over the noise.

“They tend to be! Unova became quite famous for their Battle Subway you know!” The words were almost foreign to her, causing her face to scrunch up. “I’ll tell you somewhere a little less noisy My Lady!!” He replied.

Litwick was still trying to see over the beams, yet had little luck due to his ride being shorter than the average human. A tanned hand scooped up the pokemon onto his own shoulder. “There, is that better?” The pokemon nodded excitedly, gazing out over the watery landscape. “Just don’t have a snack on my soul, you hear me?”

“Lit lio!”

Reshi watched a bit more, and let out a breath she had been holding. It was a little strange seeing her region. But the people walking along the bridge looked….happy.

The noise was alot, however it wasn’t too bad. She had a few good friends with her to help. It would be ok, she would be ok.

The trio set off across the bridge together, looking out over the horizon with curiosity in their minds.

Reshi, Litwick, and Tornadus are open for 10 questions!!

[lightofunova]

Exiting the gate revealed another swath of lush green across the landscape, this one more populated than the swamplands they had previously been. Rough concrete roadways serves as the path they walked upon, avoiding gruff men who rode strange metallic beasts. Reshi found herself enamored with the devices, as the citizens similarly found themselves curious at her.

“Wow lady, yer pretty pale!” One man called out, his buddy whistling in agreement. “You should get some more sun!”

“I think she’s had plenty already, thank you.” Tornadus replied coldly, surprising the younger legend. He pulled her alongside him out of sight of the men.

“Looks like your grandpa don’t take too kindly to us!” One of the men jeered at the elder. “Well old man? Wanna settle this with a battle?” Both of them took out devices once more, catching Reshi’s eye. It was the same orb that had kept the Gothorita captive earlier, but one that also held the Rotom that resided in her phone. What exactly were these? Why did wveryone have them?

Tornadus’s glare only intensified. “You wouldn’t last five minutes.” He grumbled, before pushing his goddess along. The sneers or the men slowly faded. “Tornadus I can speak for myself.” She gently reminded him, causing her servant to sigh.

“I know, I just…I would rather not see you hurt by an unsavory mortal.” His shoulders sagged a bit. “I’m sorry My Lady.” A hand upon his shoulder pulled him to look at her. “You don’t need to apologize, your heart is in the right place. But don’t forget, I’m not completely helpless you know.” This finally got him to smile again. “I know, it’s easy to forget in my old age.”

The trek continued once more, only for Reshi’s eyes to catch another interesting sight. A large and tall building stood proudly over the route. It didn’t take a wise mind to recall that this was most likely the mall she had heard about from the couple.

“Tornadus please!” She fought to keep up with the taller man. “You can visit it later, I promise! Landorus will kill us both if we get distracted yet again!” He yelled back to her. His brow furrowed at the thought. They were already going to be in for it when he realized what had transpired at that damned gala. The fury his brother would hold for the goddess being unable to end for herself would be enough to bear witness to already, let alone the earful they would get if he heard the took a detour. Thundurus wouldn’t be happy either, but Reshi could handle him easily. It was Landorus that was too mu-

“You’re hurting me damnit!” The voice finally cut through his thoughts and he let her go in an instant. Turning towards her, his eyes trained on her wrist, before flickering to her expression. It was one of disbelief.

“My Lady I-…I’m so-“

“It’s alright.” A bead of sweat at her forehead. He swallowed hard. “Just allow me to walk infront for now.” She stated as she brushed past him into the next gate. He felt everything sink into himself.

“Loo.”

“I don’t know what I was doing.”

Eventually he continued to trudge along. The gate was a pleasant yellow and blue, and while it did little to dissuade their unpleasant moods, the silence was somewhat comforting.

The screens reported various news, and for a moment, Reshi stopped to look at it with curiosity. Various advertisements for the mall or the weather. Apparantly Opelucid was sunny.

‘The buildings use state of the art materials’

A fact she had known. She had seen it built afterall. ‘Oh, wait’ Realization had hit her quickly. It had been 3000 years. Things had to have changed.

Turning towards the gates exit, she took a deep breath. Only the present awaited her, there was no returning to her past. She took the steps into the world once more, light blinding her sensitive eyes. Once it had finally cleared from her vision, Reshi gazed out upon what had once been a town she knew.

[lightofunova]

(@pokege-ne-project ; Shadow) "Oh!" Maybe she can help with how the nice-seeming lady feels? "Sorry, but I'm trying to get used to things too. I'm sure it'll feel better after a little bit!" Should she say more.. Probably!

"Anyway, maybe there's a lot of new good things to see? What do you wanna find outta that?"

“I think in some cases I can be a bit dramatic. Opelucid was a town known for it’s traditional values in my time! So I’m eager to see it once more.”

You notice Tornadus and Litwick grimace behind her.

[lightofunova]

“I…suppose I cannot argue.” Tornadus stated with a huff. Litwick proudly resumed his place atop Reshi’s shoulder. The trio began to leave the tower, making their way back towards Icirrus City.

Reshi changed a glance back up towards the tower. The safety of the sanctuary she so desperately wanted to stay within, and yet she saw an orange clad man whose eyes stared back at her with disgust. Brow furrowed, she clicked her tounge as hear rose to her.

“Lio?”

“Landerous. Why is he still upset?! I’m actually doing my job now.” She complained. Tornadus followed closely.

“I think he is just confused My Lady. After all you did attend the gala and return home in quite the odd state.” A silence met his reply. “And there was the curious case of having that sleepover as well. I think he is just worried.”

“Worried my ass.” Reshi responded sourly, causing the older man to chastise her. “Just because he may be hard on you doesn’t mean you can be rude in return!” Tornadus corrected.

“If any of you were worried, why didn’t you attend the event with me like I asked?!” Reshi rounded on him. Heat began to rise in the small clearing, a fact that Tornadus grew quickly aware of. “I knew nothing of another universe’s customs let alone the ones of modern day Unova! In rediscovering my region I’ve found I have lost so much time with my people and lost those I cared about!! Maybe that is not of concern to you or your brother, but it is of concern to me!” Sparks flew off her, Litwick hunkering down into his warming wax to avoid her ire.

“I’m sorry if I seem to be causing you concern! However I haven’t seen any aid that suggested you were worried! For your information I almost died at that damn Gala!!” Yellow eyes went wide at the words, staring at the albino in disbelief. He didn’t know that fact.

“My lady…” Whatever anger he felt, ebbed away. “Why…Did you not tell us?” His voice grew quiet.

“I…I was ashamed…”

“Lio…?”
