"Oh! Welcome to Sitrus Mountain! I am Queen Bailey. I would present you some fresh picked berries, but you have come at an unsuitable time sadly. Those two criminals Claw and Fang have come back with the Soul Gem and are taking revenge on the people who have done things to them or there history has made them mad. Two years ago, they stole the gem and now are just surfacing. It is very upsetting." Queen Bailey said.
"That is very upsetting. I just want to remind you that this Delphox called Blare is sheltering many of the other Pokemon." Cora said. The Queen sighed with relief and asked, "Sorry to intrude, but what do you propose we do to stop Claw and Fang?"
"I'm actually not sure. We were just traveling to the berry picking spots because Princess Mist thought that was were they were targeting. We just so happened to pick Sitrus Mountain and got here a few minutes after Claw and Fang arrived." Cora explained. Blade looked at the Queen and asked, "Sorry if I'm interrupting, but Shimmer and I are part of this so we think that we deserve to talk about this too. Also, do you have anything to eat, Your Majesty?"
"Oh yes, how silly of me to forget about you silly little Eevees. Here are some Oran berries." Queen Bailey said as she handed Blade and Shimmer a whole basket of berries. As they ate, Cora sighed and said, "Yes. I'm so sorry. Of course you two are aloud to listen and contribute to the conversations. I did drag you two into this mission with me, didn't I? I just didn't want you two to worry about things you shouldn't be worrying about at your age."
"Thanks Cora!" Shimmer and Blade exclaimed in unison. But soon, they were curled up next to each other, sleeping. Queen Bailey chuckled and Cora smiled.
"These two have the right idea. Let's both get some sleep and talk about this tomorrow. Then, we will see about a plan." Queen Bailey suggested. Cora nodded and curled up next to Blade and Shimmer. The Queen slept in the corner.
In the morning, Cora woke up before everyone else. She ate one Oran berry from the basket Blade and Shimmer had eaten from. She felt more satisfied after the Oran berry. Shortly after, the Queen and the two Eevees woke up. The Queen yawned and asked, "What should we do to defeat Claw and Fang?"
Cora thought for a bit and then said, "Maybe we should put traps?"
"They might see them. I think we should storm them!" Blade suggested.
"Storm them?! Then we will get hurt. I think we should move the other Pokemon to a different location and get the Queen in Persim Valley on our side. Then we can all join forces with her, Queen Autumn, Princess Mist, and Queen Bailey!" Shimmer exclaimed. They all thought about it. Queen Bailey was the first to break the silence.
"I actually think that is a good idea! We can keep my citizens safe and create an alliance with the other towns. We could also create an alliance with Princess Poochy in Cheri Cove and King Arrow and Queen Sky in Aspear Town. Then, we can be really strong!" Queen Bailey suggested. Cora nodded and said, "That's a good plan. Let's go put this plan into action!"
Queen Bailey led them out of the storage space and quickly gathered her citizens, even the ones in Blare's storage area. She expertly weaved through trees and stopped at what looked like camp. She stopped and faced the Pokémon.
"Pokemon of Sitrus Mountain, this is where you will stay until further notice. " Queen Bailey announced. She turned to her guards and said, "Leafy, please be their escort so they will be safe. I am expecting a lot of you because they are friends of Princess Mist and Queen Autumn."
"Of course, Your Highness," an Leafeon said as he stepped forward. Cora nodded and said, "We are going to head toward Aspear Town first."
"Good luck and be careful!" Queen Bailey said. Cora, Leafy, and the two Eevees then headed west in the direction of Aspear Town. I hope King Arrow and Queen Sky will agree to be part of our alliance, Cora thought. She knew that they were now a little safer now that Leafy was traveling with them. All now was to pray.
