After having a fun night with Nurse Joy, Liam woke up in the morning and decided to head out of the city on this day. Liam had to backtrack from Olivine City to Ecruteak City, and on his way, he would seriously train Latios who hadn't done any training or battling yet.
Liam was having a hard time with Latios as he was a bit lazy. Liam was able to convince Latios to train a little harder that way; he could battle like the others. Latios had been eager to battle sometimes when Liam checked Latios level he was surprised to see that Latios was already at level 20.
This shocked Liam because he had never seen Latios doing training and had never even had a battle yet but was still able to level up. Liam thought about the conversation he had with that God last time and remembered that he said that this Latios would help him tremendously in the future.
Liam got his things packed up and left the Pokemon Center; he said his goodbyes to Jasmine and Nurse Joy before leaving the city. Backtracking through routes after a few days, he eventually reached Ecruteak City; that's when he had contacted Gina and told her that he was back in town, causing Gina to stop whatever she was doing and go meet up with him.
They hung out and grabbed something to eat; they also had a lot of fun times at Gina's house. They even did it sometimes in public. Liam, on one this particular day, decided to go to the Bell Tower, but the security guards at the entrance wouldn't let them in.
Liam decided to come back in the nighttime when it was dark using Shadow and his Shadow Movement. Liam hung out with Gina until Gina fell asleep. Liam summoned Shadow, who came out in his chubi form and helped Liam slip away.
When it was dark, using Shadow and his Shadow Movement, they got to the entrance of the Bell Tower and went past the guards. One of the guards had gotten chills as they passed but didn't say anything and shrugged it off.
Liam and Shadow slowly made their way through the tower until they got to the top. There was absolutely nothing there except for a statue of Ho-oh. Just as Liam was about to head back down, he heard someone singing, so he sneakily went behind the statue.
He noticed that there were five girls in a kimono dancing around as if they were practicing. Liam was surprised by this and remembered that in the game, they had some sisters called the Kimono Girls that used to perform.
They were mesmerizingly beautiful, and he was enchanted by their dances and the movements of their bodies and their singing. Shadow pecked his head as if saying, "Didn't just come from spending time with another woman." Liam was embarrassed, and they quickly left.
He sneaked back into bed, which woke up Gina as she asked him where he was. Liam quickly told her that he had crept into the Bell Tower, shocking her. She then asked him what he saw because not a lot of people get the opportunity to go up there.
He told her that the Kimono Girls are performing some practice dances. Gina smirked and said, "Oh, so you fell in love with those girls, huh." Liam shook his head and said, "No, but they were certainly beautiful, and I wouldn't mind…"
Before Liam could finish, Gina tackled him and grabbed him by his family jewels, causing him to apologize and say that Gina is the only one. She smiled and then said, "I know you have multiple women, but I don't mind as long as I get to spend some time with you. I don't mind at all."
The night continued until they rested. Liam told Gina that he had to move on and continue his journey. Gina kissed him and helped him prepare for his journey. Gina said to him that he should be heading east towards Mt. Mortar. After announcing his goodbyes to Gina, Lian left and went through route 42 battling trainers non-stop.
Liam and his Pokémon continued to advance, and they finally arrived at the entrance of Mount Mortar. When they got there, they entered the cave and started going inward. Before they went any further, they decided to take a rest and camp out.
Just as Liam was about to get some sleep, he heard a lot of Pokémon stomping toward him and a girl yelling out that he should get out of the way. Liam picked his stuff up and decided to help the girl out. When he saw the girl running towards him, he was shocked as he knew this girl.
It was none other than Abigail, who he had left back in Kanto and never seen her again. They had something going on at the time, but his feelings for her had gradually faded until he saw her again. She looked beautiful, but he shook his head and took out his poke balls as he summoned Shadow and Tyranitar to help him out.
Tyranitar used Earthquake while Shadow used Ice Beam, making the Pokémon faint due to them being at lower levels. Abigail shouted in excitement as she ran up to Liam and hugged him. Liam saw how excited she was, so he let her do as she pleased.
After hugging Liam for a little bit, Abigail backed up and asked, "How are you doing? It's been a long time." Liam nodded and said, "Yes, truly has been. It seems that you've grown even more beautiful." Abigail blushed and said, "You are growing even more handsome as well."
To this, they both blushed, and it got a little awkward. Before Liam could speak, Abigail said, "Somebody killed Giovanni and took my revenge for me even though I wanted to do it myself. I'm very grateful to that person." Liam didn't want to lie to her, so he told her that he was the one who did it.
This caused Abigail to be shocked, and she said, "I didn't take you for the killer type." In response, Liam said he didn't either, but at that time, he was in a dark place, and it just happened." Abigail understood and asked, "So what about you and me now. Do we still have a chance to be together?" Liam nodded and said, "Since the past is behind us now, we can move forward, but at the same time, I still have my journey to go on, so I'm not looking forward to having anybody to travel with."
Abigail agreed and said, "That's no problem. I will not hold you back. I will be traveling too. Honestly, my Pokémon were exhausted after traveling for so long through this cave. I could have easily dealt with them if my Pokémon were at full power." Liam said, "I am not even sad. It seems like you're getting stronger." Abigail had a keystone on her wrist. Liam was surprised to see that Abigail had that, and he said, "It seems like you can mega evolve your Pokémon." Abigail laughed and said, "Yes, a master of mine gave it to me."
