After Harmony left, we all decided to eat the Oran and Sitrus Berries from the campsite and take a little break. After all, why wouldn't you after getting attacked by something that's apparently classified as a top-notch villain? We packed up the rest of the items after and started to move again soon after.

"If you were human, how can you even walk on four paws then?"

I told you I was going to ask stupid questions to Chris—even though I was faking some of them.

"Lucas, I told you the answer about three times and I'm going to tell you again. I don't know why it happens, only it happens because of my instinct as an Eevee now."

"What about—."

Chris shot his head at me pissed. "If you're going to ask a question about me and it's going to be the same answer, do not ask the question!"

After a few moments, I realized that I was going to probably infuriate everyone in the entire group, so I finally shut myself up. I could already hear the silence coming out of the closet once again, but Abby had to get rid of it. "You know Cord, you never answered my question earlier. What Universe are you a part of?"

"Universe 3," Cord responded without hesitation.

Uh, oh. Cord's lying again. I stared at him to think towards him. 'Cord, I know you were lying during the beginning of your backstory, but why can't they know about us being from Universe 1?'

Manny, it's an explanation that I'm going to talk to you privately about. But when Abby asks you that question—.

"Manny," Abby shouted ahead of us. "I'm asking the same question to you. Where are you from?"

...You're going to have to lie as well.

I looked at Cord with a face meaning "you can't be serious." Cord gave a look back. It felt like a staring contest, one that I lost in a few moments. After a sigh of defeat came out my mouth, I looked at Abby. "I'm with Cord. Universe 3 as well."

That wasn't so hard, wasn't it?

I wanted to give him a punch in the shoulder so bad, but there were two problems with doing that. The first problem was if I even did it, the action would be suspicious toward Abby, who's keeping a close eye on the two of us since we started trailing behind her and Chris. And even if Abby wasn't paying attention, my arm was too short to even reach Cord's shoulder. So I couldn't do anything.

Meanwhile, Chris groaned—completely forgetting the incident I made a few moments ago. "Aww man. I'm the only human here."

All four of us stopped right on the top of a hill since we were taking in the view. It probably was the second-best view I've seen after yesterday's view of Misty Mountain. What probably made the view even better was on the right side, a weirdly shaped building was in the distance on top of a cliff. I didn't figure out what the hell the shape was, but at least I knew one thing.

Civilization was very close by.

"Well, good news and bad news." Cord looked at all of us. "Good news is we're nearby that town Harmony's been talking about."
