Deep in the dark Viridian Forest, we find our heroes relaxing in an open area, resting after walking through a rough path that leads to Pewter City and Aura's first Gym Battle.

"Wow, who knew a forest covered in Bug-Type Pokémon could be this peaceful." Zoey commented as she laid on the soft grass with Glameow laying beside her.

The group was laying on a large blanket in a circular motion; First Aura, then Steven, the Eevee Twins, Mairin and Chespie, Alain, Cilan and Pansage, and circled back to Zoey and Glameow. They were shaded under a large tree with some sun sticking through the leaves, enjoying the peace and quiet, as some light breeze came here and there.

"I know what you mean, it's amazing!" Mairin grinned.

Steven smiled. "I feel sorry for whoever hates Bug-Type Pokémon." He mused, stroking his sister's hair since she's laying beside him.

Somewhere in the Viridian Forest...

"Achoo!" A female girl with orange hair sneezed, shivering when she felt like she's being mentioned. "Ew..."

"Oh, what's wrong now?" A younger boy up ahead questioned, annoyance clear in his tone.

After waking up from her nap, Aura slowly sat up and yawned, covering her mouth with one hand as tears pricked the side of her eyes. "Speaking of Bug-Type Pokémon..." She murmured, her half-lidded eyes scanning their current area. "I don't see any."

This caught everyone's attention.

"Now that you mention it..." Zoey sat up and let her eyes wander.

"Where are they?" Mairin wondered, sitting up to look around also.

"They're probably somewhere we can't see." Alain answered, putting logic into it. Wild Pokémon tend to avoid humans.

Aura hummed, not paying attention to them as she was busy messing around with her Pokédex. She was transferring Amythyst back to her sanctuary in Hoenn, because her father made her bring him until they reached Viridian City as extra precautions with Gardenia and Samurai. And now that's over, Aura can send him back to protecting the sacred paradise they built for the Pokémon living there.

"Vui?" Jun sat on her Trainer's lap, tilting her head in wonder when Aura started messing with the Pokédex's Pokémon Entry system.

"That reminds me." Alain muttered, seeing the Pokédex and sat up, turning to the light-steel-blue-haired girl. "Aura." He called out.

"Yes, Alain?" Aura looked up to him.

"You have the Kalos Region Pokédex." The black-haired male pointed at the said device.

Aura blinked. "Yes, I do." She smiled warmly at him. "Professor Sycamore had an extra one and sent it to Professor Oak." She explained as everyone else sat up to listen. "The reason why is because I have Pokémon that aren't listed in the Pokédex or in any other regions."

"Really?" Mairin asked, curious. "What other Pokémon do you have then? I've seen Lucario."

That caused the older girl to flinch. "Um... Well, I..."
