Adaman tapped his heel, looking nervously at the woods. "Has she not returned?"Mai asked getting worried. "It's the third day! She should've been back by now, it isn't like her to arrive late!"Adaman frowned. "Why not go ask Julie to find her? She's helped us through everything that's happened, even though she hasn't met her because your crush was out on one of her adventures"Mai says. "I don't wanna bother Julie with finding her...but if it's a way to find that woman, I'll go"Adaman sighed. "Be quick! We don't know if she's been hurt!"Mai called as Adaman ran off. He hurried down a path he marked, spotting golden brown hair up ahead. "Julie!"Adaman called. "Adaman!"Julie beamed waving to him, surprised to see him around at night.
"You're usually asleep, you don't like wasting time!"Julie teased. "I can't sleep..."Adaman sighed. "What's on your mind?"Julie asked. "Can you look for someone for me...she has a Delcatty that evolved from a Skitty I gave her after she released her Beautifly so it can travel to it's destination..."Adaman says looking deeply worried. "She's a sweet person who cares for the wellbeing of everyone...but she's quite sneaky and likes to tease me, she keeps me in place and from wasting time arguing with Irida...please, she's one of the most important people in my life.."Adaman says quietly. "Is she really that important to you?"Julie says surprised. "Yes, when it comes to this person I'd waste all the time in the world for her, if I wasn't leader of the diamond clan I'd spend every single moment of my day by her side, making her smile and laugh without fail"Adaman smiled.
"I'll go find her!"Julie says immediately. "Thank you, please return her safely..."Adaman says relieved. "Use this to find her, it's her bracelet, she leaves it to let me know she's going on an adventure"Adaman says holding up a bracelet with a real life Luxray tooth attached to it. Julie gave a quick salute, before turning away, releasing her Growlithe. "You won't find her around here, go to the Crimson Mirelands, that's her favorite spot to adventure"Adaman says. "Got it, come on Growlithe!"Julie says. She ran off, her Growlithe beside her as the duo went on the search for the mystery woman. Adaman walked back home, feeling suddenly dull without the bracelet. "She makes you feel some type of way huh?"Mai says amused. "She does"Adaman grinned.
Julie waved as Braviary flew away after helping her reach her destination then put Growlithe down. "Sniff her out boy!"Julie says holding the bracelet out. Growlithe sniffed it, then turned away, his nose sniffing the ground as he padded away. She followed him, making sure to avoid more aggressive pokemon on the way. Growlithe kept his nose to the ground, stopping for a moment as he sniffed different directions before heading northeast, starting to speed up. He barked, Julie looking up, spotting a sunbathing Delcatty. The weird thing about it was that the pokemon had a ribbon for a collar with a bell attached to it. Delcatty twitched its ears, then yawned as it got up, stretching and padding away, looking content with its nap. "Delcatty!"Julie called. Delcatty looked at her, flicking its tail before bounding away.
It looked back, then let out a small 'mrrow' before leaping down. Julie followed the Delcatty, Growlithe bounding beside her. Delcatty suddenly stopped and sat back on its hunches, beaming at the bushes. "Delcatty, is that you, I hear your bell." A long brown haired woman with her hair down walked out, a pair of golden brown eyes locked on Delcatty. She crouched down, petting the pokemon, Delcatty beaming brighter. "That's my good girl"The woman chuckled. Delcatty looked at Julie, blinking twice. "Hello"The woman greeted walking closer, a smile on her face. "I am Alya from the Diamond Clan, this is my partner Delcatty"The woman smiled a serene aura coming from her. "I'm Julie from the Galaxy Team"Julie greeted.
"I know, Adaman told me everything"Alya smiled. "Oh! Adaman sent me to find you!"Julie gasped. "He did?"Alya blinked surprised. She looked at her Delcatty, earning a curious look in return. "How come he sent you to find me?"Alya says. "No idea...but he seemed pretty worried..."Julie replied. Alya tapped her chin, then gasped before checking a nearby tree. "IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS! OH MY GOODNESS, HE MUST BE REALLY WORRIED SICK!"Alya yelled Julie looking surprised by the sudden change in her personality. "We gotta get home Delcatty!"Julie says. "Come along Julie!"Alya nodded. The group ran away, heading back to the Diamond Clan Camp, Julie glancing Alya a few times, surprised by how pretty she was but unsurprised with her partner.
"She's still not here!"Adaman mumbled. "Julie is searching for her Adaman...calm down"Mai sighed. Melli frowned, hiding his concern well. Leafeon suddenly ran away, Adaman looking over. "Alya!"Adaman smiled running over to her. "Where have you been! Why didn't you come home yesterday!"Adaman demanded. "Lost track of time trying to look for a Spheal"Alya sighed looking disappointed. Adaman stared at her in disbelief, then chuckled. "A Spheal? Wouldn't have been better to look along the coast then?"Adaman asked amused. "Shush!"Alya gasped looking embarrassed. Adaman shook his head chuckling, before turning to Julie. "Thank you for returning her, I am in debt to you"Adaman smiled. "Glad I could help!"Julie beamed. Adaman nodded and walked away with Alya, Mai nodding in thanks to Julie before leaving. "He really loves her"Julie smiled.
