Chapter 36: All is Revealed

[Chris' POV]

I sit up in my sleeping bag. Dawn is still asleep. I stretch and get out of the tent. I sit on a rock and start meditating, but a tent opening startles me. Eve get out of my tent and walks over to me. She smiles at me. "Good morning Chris."

"Morning."

She sighs. "I'm so bored."

"It's not like we can go outside."

"I mean... we can. We'll die, though."

I shiver at the thought. "It's still cold, though."

"Infernape and Combusken can't sleep in tents, so they're out here somewhere."

"I know."

Roark gets out of his tent. "Morning, Chris. Good morning, Eve."

Eve smiles. "Good morning!"

I smile and translate for him. "I'm going to get to cooking some breakfast."

"I'll help."

"Oh? Thank you."

Roark gives me orders as I cook. Eve watches us as we make some food. I feel a tap on my shoulder. Roark turns around and freezes. "Whatcha cookin'?" I hear a woman say.

I turn around. A brunette is staring me in the eye. I yelp in fear. "Did I scare you?" she asks. She puts out her hand. "Samantha Blake. Nice to finally meet you in person, Chris Moore."

I freeze in fear. "H-how do you-?"

"Oh, I know quite a bit of people who know your name. I don't think I should say though."

"Who?"

"Oh, the International Police, the Pokémon League, the Gym Leaders... Team Galactic."

"You know about Team Galactic?!" Roark asks.

She giggles. "Why would an Admin not know about her own organization?"

I gasp. "Y-y-y-you're a-"

"Team Galactic Admin? Yup," she says, winking. "I've been told to tail you and report back to base about your movements. I was given special orders to show myself and tell you a few things."

"What kinds of things?" I growl, flaring up my Aura.

"No need to use your Aura, Chris."

"You know?"

"All of Team Galactic knows."

"Really?"

She nods. "First things first, I'm on your side. Some grunts, admins, and even a commander are on your side."

"I don't believe it. Why should I?"

"Didn't you get the message Saturn gave you?"

"What are you talking about?"
Eve looks away. Sam looks at Eve. "You didn't give it to him, did you?"

I look at Eve. "What the fuck?!"

"I didn't believe them! They're Team Galactic!"

I sigh. "Okay, I'll buy it for now, but I still don't trust you."

"You don't have to trust me, but you should trust Saturn. Either way, you're stuck with me for the moment. That blizzard is gonna last a couple months, according to the reporters."

"Really?!"

I hear someone groan. Riley peeks out of his tent. "Can you three keep it down?"

He sees Sam. "Hi," she says.
