In a world full of floating islands, sky pirates, exiled magicians, and Pokémon, peace is difficult to maintain. Shaymin, kind Pokémon who'd guided travelers once man learned how to fly, were hunted to extinction for their Gracideas: magical flowers said to bring grand fortune. Since their disappearance, everything in Caelum has begun to fall apart. With natural disasters destroying the land, powerful criminals seeking revenge on the innocent, and countries preparing to go war, hope is all but lost. Runaway pirate August Gold has done the unthinkable and stolen the last known Shaymin from the infamously vicious Captain Calico. In an attempt to become wealthy quickly, August will accidentally uncover the mystery behind the isles' destruction. After all, one doesn't escape the life of magic and piracy that easily. ------------------------------------------------------- ✩ Pokémon Watty Awards 2019 ✩ -1st Place in the Adventure category -Most Polished Prose -Best Depiction of Setting -Pushing Boundaries

It's tough being on your own in the nation of Caelum when you're a child. You have to fend for yourself in an unforgiving world of pirates, moral-less thieves and murderers, and airborne islands that spell death the moment you fall off one of them. It's even tougher being somebody who everyone and their aunt wants to either kill or capture for a prize, all because you can, to put it simply and literally, "make magic happen." But do you know what's even tougher than all of that? Being both of those along with having no memory of any of it along with every last shred of your past, even your last name. So my name is Loto, and welcome to my world.

A retelling of events leading up to Breath of the Wild attempting to fill in some of the gaps and better explain the unanswered questions.

The Heroes of Truth and Ideals have left the Unova region, leaving behind chaos that eventually settled. But what hadn't settled however, were the remaining sparks of false liberation that have begun to flare and grow when left unchecked. Nathan Acress, a new Trainer hoping to make it to the top and become Unova's Champion. His twin sister Rosalyn, a young woman along for the ride who dreams of becoming an assistant to Professor Juniper. And Hugh Vallance, a mutual friend who refuses the help of others and is haunted by the memory of a white-haired stranger who ruined his and his little sister's lives. These three set out on their journeys together but soon end up wrapped in a tangled web of secrecy, revenge plots, regional dominance, and forgotten legends. With the guidance of an undercover Trainer that knows far more than he lets on, the young teens find themselves dragged though a torrent of events they never would have expected to encounter... Events that reveal what is causing the unseasonal cold, and what chills the wind may carry in the near future.

Characters belong to Mo/MDazzle! These precious creatures are NOT mine. I asked her if I could create this book and she said "ye" and I was like "ye" so ye xD. *SET IN DRAMATIC SUMMARY* Shortly after Mo had arrived, it had seemed that everything had turned out for the better. Mo had finally arrived home, at long last. One that had been taken away from her at such a young age. But that is all in the past, right?
