章節 160: EPISODE 50: Fourth!*
When the stars come out to play and the evening takes on that aroma of the night, when the Caterpies sing for the joy of living, my bed awaits. I love the softness, the quiet, the sense of rest. My thoughts slow as a beautiful carousel, each dancing as ribbons from a kite string that reaches for the sky, its colors embracing those lofty heights and inviting in the dreams that wear festival costumes and are formed of music. In sleep, as in wakefulness, I play.
As my mind enters a deep slumber, it remembers Raikou. I could barely forget its image, it has permanently remained in my memory, to be cherished forever. Every ten minutes I would suddenly shift sleeping positions. First to the left, and now to the right, I swirl around my pillow and Pokemons.
Morning arrives, and I wake up unusually. Seven in the morning, I'm fully energized already but before I'd still be in my bed, sleep talking with my Pokemons. A new day starts for me and Virgo. I look to her bed, watching her read another novel of hers.
"Doesn't reading hurt your mind? I read, but not every day." I question, leaning my head on her bed.
"Novels are interesting, it is as if I'm living inside its chapters. We live in novels that have been created for us. Worlds woven by words that we circle, as though we are the Earth, and they, the sun. Stories we tell ourselves become who we are, and suddenly, we're orbiting time and space like we're following a script." Virgo explains while reading a novel.
"Woah, that was pretty deep."
"Huh, did you say something?" Virgo tilts her head to me, only realizing now that I was staring at her. I also realized that she was just reading a dialogue from her book.
"Never mind," I reply back with a pouty face.
After a little talk, a morning talk, Professor Olive knocks on the doors again. I gladly open the doors for her to see her lustrous smile. The rest of her face, not so much. It was obvious to me that she has slept late again in order to do some research and investigation.
"Luna. I have a direct message from Executive Ariana. Please listen to it." Professor Olive bids, placing a circular silver sphere on the desk. With a remote control, she turns it on, emitting a holographic image of Executive Ariana.
"Greetings Agent Luna Evergreen! The executives are busy handling a mission in Sevii islands therefore we couldn't meet personally today. I have prepared this message for you and I hope you would comprehend it. Even with two failures, the executives still have faith in you, since you still stand out from other elite operatives.
Anyways, here are the details for your solo mission. Since your pilot has... let's just skipped that part. You have a new pilot, and from now on she is responsible for sending you to different missions. She's permanent, unless she ends up like your former pilot.
Her name is Xeryll, and she's five years older than you. She will send you to Cherrygrove city in order to claim the fourth piece of the puzzle. In Cherrygrove city, you will find a tower, similar to the tower of Lavender or the Pokemon Tower in the Kanto Region. Expect ghost type Pokemons, after all, the tower is a burial site for Pokemons.
The fourth piece could be found on the top of the tower. Bring it to headquarters safely. As much as possible, avoid getting yourself into any trouble. I'm expecting that the Rebirth Society won't be much of a bother since, after all, they are busy with their own pieces as well.
Alright, this is your mission. Good luck agent." Ariana's holographic image explains the details. It then shuts off afterward.
"Cherrygrove city? Neat! Can you do me a favor and buy me a king's rock too?" Virgo begs.
"King's rock? What for?"
"Secret. Anyways, here's my money. Please buy the stone for me."
"Sigh, sure" I concur, taking the money from her hand.
After breakfast, another solo mission begins. Finding the fourth piece and acquiring it will seem like an easy task for me. On the helicopter pad before my departure on the island, I am greeted by my pilot. Her hair is yellow, and her eyes are a bit sharp. She wears a brown leather jacket. On the other hand, her pupils are a bit dark blue but for others it may seem black.
"So, I assume you're agent Luna?" She shakes my hand, smiling pleasantly.
"Yes, yes I am."
"I am Xeryll, your pilot. Let's take it to the skies shall we?"
The clock strikes ten, and finally, the helicopter leaves the island with professor Olive waving at me from the helicopter pad. In the skies of Johto, the helicopter is met with unusual movements that I wasn't familiar with.
"Oh, don't worry. It's just the turbulence." Adjusting the mirror to see me from the back, Xeryll comforts me after seeing my troubled face. The shaking helicopter reminds me of my time in the Seafoam Islands. How I dread that moment. Xeryll seems like a skilled pilot, she knows what to do during unexpected situations such as air resistance and turbulence.
I'm probably safer if I travel with her starting from now one. The quest for the King's Rock and the fourth piece has just begun!
