Upon reaching Route 2, Lillie found and captured a female Totodile, naming her Toto. The blonde teenager now had four Pokémon on her team.

"We're almost there, grunts. Keep on marching!"

Lillie turned around to see three Abyssal Cultists heading in her direction. They then turned and crossed the bridge nearby.

"Weird." Lillie said to herself. "I wonder what they're up to."

After picking up a nearby Antidote, Dusk Ball and Ice Heal, Lillie crossed the bridge the Abyssal Cultists went over, and came upon some ruins with statues of Lucario. Feeling uneasy, the blonde teenager let Blossom out of her Pokéball.

"Saur?"

"Blossom, I have a feeling that those Abyssal Cultists are up to no good here. Walk with me?"

"Ivysaur!"

"Awesome."

Trainer and Pokémon headed toward the entrance to the ruins, picking up two Ultra Balls and a Super Potion along the way.

Wandering the ruins, Lillie found other important things like a Rare Candy, two more Super Potions, a Charcoal, a Repel, a Spell Tag, and a TM containing the move Silver Wind.

Blossom suddenly ran ahead of Lillie, gesturing to the room ahead. The blonde teenager followed her Pokémon and was shocked at what she saw. The Abyssal Cultists from earlier were cornering a Riolu from all directions!

"Bwa ha ha ha ha!" The female Abyssal Cultist laughed evilly. "We have you cornered, Riolu! There's nowhere to run!"

The Riolu tried to run away, but the two male Abyssal Cultists kept on moving to block it's path.

"Just stop running, Riolu! You're ours now!"

"Stop it!" Lillie shouted. "Can't you see you're scaring the poor thing?!"

"Yeah!" Said Nora, who had followed the sound of the commotion. "What are you doing?!"

"Huh?" The female Abyssal Cultist turned around. "Who daaaaares stand in the way of the Abyssal Cult?!"

"We dare!" Lillie and Nora said defiantly.

"Will the two of you deal with them, please?" The female Abyssal Cultist turned to her companions. "We have a Riolu to catch!"

The other two Abyssal Cultists went to stand on the other sides of Lillie and Nora.

"I hope you're ready to lose!"

"The Abyssal Cult will crush you here!"

"Hmph," Lillie smirked. "Not if we can help it!"

At Jade Tower...

Jaern was pacing. Just how did Lillie escape from the Cult of Darkrai?!

"You had one job, Persephone. One! Job! And furthermore, still no sightings of Adrien! The longer he remains hidden, the more likely it is that he'll have Pokémon now and he'll be able to defend himself!" He then looked at the crystal and smirked. "No matter, no matter. She'll come to me. And when that time comes, I'll kill her myself, and hopefully Adrien too. As for now, I need to have a little chat with Persephone."

At the Ancient Ruins...

Both battles were over, and Lillie and Nora were the victors.
