The whole way there, Ginger mocked Miyuki with questions. For a curious Phantump, she knew how to get answers.

"Where are we going~?"

"A region..."

"What's it called~??"

"Lucidia..."

"Why are we going somewhere new~???"

"Because... I can't stay at Kalos..."

"Why?"

"I can't say why..."

Ginger knew she couldn't pry much more - at least, not yet.

"So, where is Lucidia, exactly?"

"It's a region across the ocean, not much is known about it, but it's time for new Pokémon Trainers to start their journey. And they have the age requirement higher, like in Unova; I look like I'm about sixteen, so that's the best place to start."

"Oohhh~... So, is that the place?" Ginger pointed with her numbs towards a giant cell tower in a small town.

"Yep, that's Cecilen Town."

"Professor Eucalyptus! Is it time yet?!" two teenagers yelled as they approached the Pokémon Lab. The kids were one of each gender; a fairly slender boy, and a tall girl. Each wore something on their head, and similar colors of clothing. Despite the small similarities, they were not related in any way. They were Rivals, something they pledged at a very young age when they visited another kind of school in the Pokémon Education System's travels.

"Distra, Tskui, can't you wait just a few more minutes?" the Professor's voice rang from the back of the building. The Professor moved her long, black hair back in her usual tied-back style. The Unovian scientist was thrilled once her theory of a connection between Pokémon dreams and Human dreams landed her the position of Lucidia's own Pokémon Professor; something that they didn't have for so long.

Fennel Eucalyptus grabbed three Poké Balls that held different enigmas than the usual Professor's bearings. One had a purple-like eye on it, the second having a dark orb on it, and the last with a skull, it seemed.

Miyuki watched from a window, thanking Arceus that they were darkly tinted, and followed the Professor from the outside of the Lab. She saw the two teenagers now wrestling on the ground.

"Distra! Tskui! What is the meaning of this?" Prof. Eucalyptus yelled over the two.

"Well, Siena isn't here, so we were fighting for who gets the third creature!" Distra said, "And it's very clear that I won!" she turned back to face Tskui, who had blood running from small section on his face.

Siena, huh?... Miyuki thought. This could be another chance to cover up!

"Ginger, stay here!" she hissed towards the Phantump and started to sneak into the Lab.

She entered, only to see many wires and other electrical cords scattered everywhere. As Miyuki looked around in bewilderment, she heard footsteps coming closer to where she was. Before she had a chance to do anything, her back hit the ground hard. Her vision was somewhat blurry, but she was able to make out blonde pigtails, a fedora, and a trench coat on the figure towering above her. She heard something fall out of a pocket, but was more concerned about getting up. The figure skittishly got up, grabbing anything that fell, including a freezer door, an oven, and some other small appliances. The figure gripped the freezer door and threw it towards Miyuki's head. Miyuki's groaned in pain, start to go unconscious. The very last noises she heard was the figure escaping, and the Professor and the two teenagers rushing to the scene.

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Miyuki's head rang with a wave of pain as she started to become conscious once again. So that's how a Human would experience fainting... she thought.

"Will she be okay?" A male voice echoed in her head.

"Yes... We are quite thankful that you know skills like this, Tskui. It must be a privilege knowing your father is the Psychic Gym Leader."

"It's nothing special, Professor Eucalyptus..."

"I'm sure without you, she still wouldn't be here!" Fennel stated with excitement, and seriousness.

Tskui couldn't help but let his sweatdrop show as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"You guys are aware she's awake by now?" Distra stood up from her resting position against the wall.

"Oh?" Fennel looked down at Miyuki to jump in surprised, "Oh! Glad to see that you're feeling better already!"

"Yes... I am," Miyuki quietly stated as she tried to sit up. A pair of hand found their way to he shoulders, stopping her.

"It'd be best to not sit up, you could damage yourself further than you already have." Tskui admittedly smiled. But Miyuki rejected his kindness.

"I don't need a boy to protect me... I can do it perfectly well."

"Sure seemed like that," Distract mockingly spat back at Miyuki. "What happened? Did you fall on a pipe or something?"

Miyuki growled under her breath, not wanting to deal with these two. She had to get back on track with her plan.

"Miss Professor--"

"Please, call me Professor Eucalyptus."

"Prof. Eucalyptus... I came here to get a Pokémon and start a journey."

"Well, you're just in luck! These two were about to choose their own Starter before we found you! Looks like you three will be going on your journey together!"

The three teenagers looked at each other, then to the Professor, "WHAT?!"
