Just then, Officer Jenny told Alain that a Phone Call had come in for him from Professor Sycamore!
Officer Jenny: Excuse me, Alain...
All Six: Hmm?
Dedenne: Ded?
Pikachu: Pika?
Fennekin: Kin?
Both: By?
Chespie: Pin?
Charmander: Char?
Alain: Yes?
Officer Jenny: We've just had a Phone Call come in for you from Professor Sycamore!
While the Boy is shocked at that; he gives Officer Jenny his thanks before asking his Friends to excuse him for just a Moment!
Alain: Oh... Professor Sycamore? Thanks! Could you two excuse me for just a moment, please?
Ash and Mairin nodded along with their Partners before he and Charmander both left for the Pokemon Center! As soon as they did, Serena was confused about how Alain knew Professor Sycamore!
Ash: You go ahead!
Mairin: We'll catch up!
Pikachu: Pika!
Chespie: Ches!
Alain: Thanks!
Charmander: Char!
Serena: Uh... How does Alain know who Professor Sycamore is?
While Clemont and Bonnie explained things to Serena, one of the Racers named IIma called both Ash and Mairin over to have a word with both him and Officer Jenny in Private!
Clemont: You see...
Bonnie: Alain knows the Professor because he used to be his Assistant before he started Travelling with all of us!
Serena: Oh...
IIma: Ash, Mairin, a Word if I may?
Ash: Sure...
Pikachu: Pika...
Mairin: And... You are?
Chespie: Pin?
IIma: I'm IIma, nice to meet you!
Then, Officer Jenny revealed a Tragic Truth about their Dear Friend!
Officer Jenny: You see, Alain has a Painful History with Lumiose City...
Seeing that they were confused by that, Jenny revealed that Professor Sycamore was the only family he has got left now!
Both: Huh?
Chespie: Che...
Pikachu: Pi?
Officer Jenny: Indeed, he has a lot of Tough Memories from that Place... When it was his 6th Birthday, his Parents were supposed to pick him up early from School for his Party, but they never showed up!
Mairin and Ash both stood in Horror as Jenny explained the Terrible Tragic Fate of Alain's Parents that had happened one Cold January Winter's Night!
Both: (Gasps)
Officer Jenny: Alain was wondering where his parents were when it turns out that they were on their way to his School when a Truck hit a Patch of Black Ice and swerved into incoming Traffic! Emilie and Andy both Tragically couldn't get out of the way in time! I couldn't believe something that horrible could've happened to a Kid that Nice... He was abandoned at Several Foster Homes after Foster Home! The City was so big and he was so small...
A brief Image of Young Alain running to the Base of Prism Tower flashed in the Base of Prism Tower flashed through the Officer's Eyes, knowing that the City can be a Scary Place when you're all alone!
Young Alain(F.B.): (Panting)
Officer Jenny: The City can be a Scary Place when you're all alone!
Mairin felt Sick to her stomach as she hugged Ash; as their Partners felt terrible for their Friend as well, beginning to Understand more about his Secret Fears with his Mentor and Mega Evolution...
Mairin: (Gasps)
Chespie: Ches...
Pikachu: Pi...
Ash: Poor Alain...
Just then, IIma handed the Two Pokemon Trainers a Gift for both of them and their Missing Friend as well!
IIma: Here...
Both: Huh?
Chespie: Pin?
Pikachu: Pi?
IIma: These are Three Ribbons that I won in Rhyhorn Races before! And I want you, Ash, and Alain to all have one!
Ash: Really?
IIma: Hmm-Hmm! Alain risked his life to save Ash, you gave up on Winning to help your Friends and our Rhyhorn, Mairin, and Ash didn't run away in Fear and Abandon Alain and the others! Take it, as a Good Luck Charm!
The two of them nod as Ash takes his while Mairin takes both hers and Alain's, thanking IIma for the Gifts, who reassures Mairin that he'll be rooting for her and her Friends, for sure!
Ash: Hmm!
Mairin: Thanks!
IIma: I'll be rooting for you guys, Mairin... For sure!
Mairin nods her thanks as Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont all ask their Friends if everything is okay!
Mairin: Thanks, IIma...
Serena: Ash?
Bonnie: Mairin?
Clemont: Is everything okay?
Not willing to betray their New Friend's Trust, Mairin said that she had to go as Ash chased after her!
Mairin: I... I gotta go!
Chespie: Ches? Chespin!
Ash: Wait for me!
Pikachu: Pika!
Mairin's Bunnelby: Bunn!
After the Two of them left, the Sibling Duo and their Pokemon shrugged it off while Serena smiled at her Fennekin, realizing that she could Battle too!
Clemont's Bunnelby: Bunn...
Dedenne: Ded...
Clemont and Bonnie: Hmm...
Fennekin: Fennekin... Fene!
Serena(Thinking): I guess that means I can Battle too...
