Kylani opened her eyes a little bit, the sun glaring in them. She was confused. What happened? Why did she feel so strange? She had faint memories, like voices that she couldn't recognize. She stood up and realized that she was using her hands to stand up as well as her feet. She looked down to realize that her hands looked... different. They were blue and looked like paws. She gasped and looked at herself. She wasn't human. She was a blueish-white, quadruped Pokémon with a tail. She had turned into a Glaceon! Panicking, she cried for help, but there was no response. She dashed about frantically, crying for help. What should she do? Where should she go? Would she ever be turned back into a human? Suddenly, a man walked up to her. She stepped back nervously. "Heh. Must be my lucky day." he said, and sent out a Scrafty. "Now, Scrafty! Use High Jump Kick!" The Scrafty jumped into the air and suddenly dived down, about to hit Kylani with its knee, but, in alarm, she jumped out of the way. The Scrafty seemed to be in pain as it missed, taking damage. "Oh, come on!" the man yelled. Kylani ran off, terrified. She cried out, in Pokémon language, "Help me!"
Back where N and Hex are, N is just regaining consciousness. "...Ugh..." he muttered, and sat up. "...What the...?" "You're finally awake!" Hex exclaimed. "Who in the heck are you?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. "I'm Hex. I'm a friend of that girl that lead me to you. At least, I think I am. What do you remember?" "What? Well... Growlithe ran off... then... then that Salandit poisoned me!" "I cured you, so you don't have to worry about that, at least." Growlithe slowly walked towards N, looking a bit afraid. "There you are!" he said. He looked at Growlithe and noticed his injuries. He slowly reached out his hand, and Growlithe licked it in a friendly manner. "Poor thing... you must've been badly treated if you're being friendly to a stranger-" Suddenly, he heard something. A voice calling for help. It seemed to come from nowhere. "What the...? What was that?!" "What was what?" "A voice... I'm sure I heard it... it was calling for help..." Hex looked at him like he was crazy. "It was so familiar..." Then he heard it again, louder and more desperate. "Kylani!" he cried, getting up. "Who?" "That girl that you said lead you to me! Her name's Kylani! And she's in trouble!" "Ah!" Hex exclaimed. "Come on! Let's go find her!" N called, running off. Hex followed while Growlithe stared after them sadly.
After a while of running, the pair is exhausted. "Where could she be...?" N muttered. "I dunno, but I gotta sit down..." Hex said, and promptly fell over. N sighed. "Uh..." said a voice. Both of them looked and saw Pika standing there, looking confused. "Pika?!" "What's... going on?" she asked, obviously confused. "Pika, we could use your help!" "Who's a Pika...?" Hex muttered. "What happened?" "It's Kylani! She's in trouble!" "W-What?!" "Can you help?!" "Of course! Let's-" she suddenly cut herself off and looked over her shoulder anxiously. "Why're you... what're you looking at...?" Hex asked groggily. "It's just... I'm worried about Gladion..." "Gladion? Why are you worried about him?" "Well... he has a fever, and I'm trying to help him recover... I don't want to leave him there alone... although Lillie will help him out 'cause she's there..." "A fever?" "Yeah, he hurt himself and has a fever..." "Well, I'm sure... Gladiator or whatever his name is... will be fine for a few minutes..." Hex muttered. "Hex, get up, please." N said, sighing. Hex groaned and started shoving herself up. "Hex? Who's Hex?" Pika asked. "She's Hex." N responded, pointing at her. Hex gave the two of them a thumbs-up. Pika laughed. "Okay! Let's go, you two!" N said, and dashed off. "Oh no, more running..." Hex muttered. "I just sat down..." The two of them chased after N.
