The Point of Destiny (Sequel to The Ancient Prophecy)

~Chapter 6~

~At Aether Paradise~

Latifa was in her bedroom. She experienced of seeing an Ultra Beast came from an Ultra Wormhole, but something in her heart that this isn't right. 

"Uh, why am I so confused? I am doing the right thing of kidnapping the Kalos Queen am I?" She thought to herself. 

Vileplume touches her arm, trying to reassure her trainer that everything would be ok. 

At the same moment, Lusamine came into her room. "Mother." She said, as Lusamine asks, "You feel anything, dear?"

"No. Nothing special." Latifa replied. Ever since she can remember, her mother put some special testing on her , like there was something unique inside her, like a side effect. 

Even with her battling, Lusamine even put some notes on her battling, like there was something that she was yearning for, but even if she tries to ask Lusamine about what she was looking for, she quickly doges the question and begin her researches of the Ultra Beasts.  

Lusamine said, "All right , dear. I better get back to work. Yell if you need anything." 

She leaves the room, as Steph sighs , covering herself with her pillow, "This is so lame! Mother really doesn't care what I want to do, it's unfair! Uh!" 

She felt pain in her stomach as Vileplume eases her pain by smoothing it's tentacles and cuddles her trainer. 

"Thanks, Vileplume. You're the best friend anyone can ask. I still remember how I met you. You were pretty naughty with the other wild Pokémon." 

Flashback to young Latifa, around 8 years old  

Latifa was in the forest by her mother's permission, "Don't go too far so I can see you , Latifa. " 

"K." She said. That was when she notices a wild Oddish causing trouble to the other wild Pokémon by using Razor Leaf . 

"Hey! That's enough, Oddish. " She said, as Oddish was mad at her, defending the other Pokémon as it ran to the forest. 

Latifa follows it , as she pouts, "Now where did Oddish gone off to?"

That was when she saw Oddish in the raging river, as if it was drowning in the river! 

"Oddish!" Latifa yells as she quickly took action by tying herself to a long vine and dive into the water to save the desperate Pokémon. 

Latifa manages to pull both of them to safety as she ran back to her mother, "Mommy! Oddish fell into a dangerous ravine and she needs help!" 

Lusamine took a look at Oddish, "Well, you managed to save Oddish by yourself, that's very brave of you, sweetie. I'll make sure that Oddish is healthy. Go dry yourself."  

Oddish was healthy enough as Steph said, "Oddish, you're all better! Thank goodness! Would you... like to be my partner? 

We'll make an excellent team! Mom, can I keep her, pretty please, I promise I'll take really good care of it." 

Lusamine chuckles, "Sure. It seems like Oddish wants to be your partner as well, as it saw how determined you were of saving her from the ravine." 

"All right!"  She yells happily.

Latifa smiled at the memory , "Well, at least things did turn all right in the end, but I'm curious, what is Mother planning to do with that Ultra Beast?"
