A few days after the reminiscence of Lisa's hunt, Shahira finally agreed to let her younger sister venture out by herself, not only to hunt for more food, but to try out for an exploration team within The Majestic Guild of Arcaous, or "MGA" for short.

The MGA is none the less a haven for adventurers and explorers alike for the nation of Arcaous. The guild partakes in assigning members jobs to help overthrow the plots of villainous Pokémon. The demand for members are higher than ever before, as a mysterious population increase in bad Pokémon has threatened the livelihood of everyone. Raiding and pillaging has become more common since the poor of the nation are struggling for money, after Prince Varence, a shiny Luxray declared that "taxes be raised to stignify the militia", or to make the nation's military stronger.

The MGA is in close proximity with Crystal Lake, just a few days away from Mt. Celero. The journey toward the guild will be a dangerous one, as there is a major outbreak of bad Pokémon who doesn't take kindly to travelers, so going out alone is out of the question.

One early morning in the front yard of the shack...

"So the plan is to go to the nearest town in search of companions? B-But, I don't know. What if no one wants to talk to me since I'm a fire type?" Lisa asked, intoxicated with the feeling of being rejected.

"Don't worry! Everything will be fine! To be honest..." Shahira didn't finish her sentence. She faced away from Lisa and put her pointer finger on her lips, inferring that she had an idea which will benefit her sister.

"Have I ever told you that there's a Fire Festival that's held annually in Arcaous? It's an amazing spectacle because I once had the pleasure of experiencing it with Weavile. You might not remember it because you were still very small, but I had so much fun meeting other Pokémon. Water types, ice types, dark types, fire types, gras..."

"Fire types!? How then, but how come there's no other fire Pokémon here?" Lisa interrupted.

The bipedal vixen faced toward Mt. Celero in the direction where Lisa was sitting, looking ever so confident compared to her lil' sis.

"Well I have to say that you have to find that out on your own sis. You're a big, independent girl now, so I knew from the start that you might want to uncover our long lost inheritance. By the time you discover something much bigger than Celero Town, I know for a fact that you'll overcome anything," Shahira said as she place her paw on Lisa's shoulders.

"Yeah, I understand. So now can I go?", the fennekin asked with impatience.

Lisa then stumbled across her fully packed satchel, equipped with apples picked from the surrounding apple trees, oran berries and a special item which was left behind by Weavile before he disappeared, a mysterious dual eye-piece, uncovered from the zero degree celsius peak of the mountain during a blizzard, barred many questions. Was Weavile a victim or did he leave this as a clue to his whereabouts?

"Yeah I don't mind", Shahira smiled with content.

Lisa then leaped for joy and skipped toward the crest of the hill which covered a quarter of the rising sun from Shahira's perspective, giving the sky an amber hue as if it were a solar eclipse.

The fennekin, cloaked with the same white hood from her hunt, looked beyond the horizon excitedly but her eventual leisure turned into solice. "Sis... will I ever see you again?"

Shahira, not expecting to hear what she said, gave her sibling a solemn answer. "Your heart will give you that very answer."
