(EDIT: IF you haven't read the POA story, then this is total spoilers.) Hooves galloped faster than ever before against the clotted dry dirt of this large plain. Trees rushed past and tall dry grass swayed in the wind. Coughing up smoke, Beef kept on, charging after the Abra, his eyes teary from the blast. The flames were far behind now. Earlier he had had reluctance to go at a quick pace. But not now, this was extremely important. The Abra ditched it's wagon, teleporting far ahead and seemingly trying to evade Beef entirely. Just as Beef could have been fooled, the Abra teleported behind Beef. “Over here!” It waved and called

. . . . . Without Arlo to hold her up, Ophelia fell to the ground, sending the arrow straight through her stomach. She cried out in agony. “NO!” Arlo screamed. The Zoroark picked him up. He attempted to gouge at her eyes. “Sir, stop that this instant! You are making things worse for yourself. Do not try to resist!” The Zoroark guard threw Arlo to the ground. He tried to scramble to his feet, but a Dragonite pinned him down and put hand cuffs on him. Arlo sobbed into the dirt, watching as the guards encircled Ophelia. “He is crazy.” The Zoroark shook off the attack. “You're getting charged wit

In startled panic Arlo ran with whatever strength he could muster, all adrenaline covering the pain he felt from his burn wounds. Busting open doors in frantic search, Arlo called out to any Pokemon left in the area, but no one had seen Ophelia or bothered to get involved any further. Arlo slammed his hand against a wooden door and swore through gritted teeth. How long had he sat there? How far could she have gone? Bolting through town, Arlo could feel his composure coming undone. Anxiety zapped his mind of any peace he ever had. His heart was racing a thousand beats per second. Ophelia had walked straight into town and it was the middle of

The sun rose over the horizon glowing hues of orange, raising the dark blue sky far above it. Stars left just as they came, disappearing one by one. Arlo didn't know how long he searched the area for the Scyther. He wasn't even really sure at what time he left his apartment. But it was turning day time now, and he was exhausted. The pain he felt was a dull incessant ache. Any twists and turns too sudden spiked sharp agony through his back. Arlo collapsed to his knees on the ground right between Burly and Brawny. As Arlo struggled to find any energy within himself to get home, Pokemon exited their own homes ready to work and run daily errands

THIS CHAPTER TAKES PLACE BEFORE CHAPTER ONE, AFTER CHAPTER 0.0 AND IS FROM OPHELIA'S POV “So, Princess, I've got news.” Chubby the Gengar walked in the room and shut the door behind him. The Lopunny climbed on top of a table, sitting crossed legged and leaning forward. “What kind of news?” “Um. Kind of bad? But, not super threatening. Well I don't think you would find it very threatening.” “Spit it out, Chubby.” “I got news that a bounty hunter wants to take your bounty. He's a pretty well known bounty hunter around Aether, and he's pretty good at what he does.” Ophelia cocked

Ophelia stood at the bottom of a deep and dark well. Every time Arlo tried to reach for her, the length of the well grew longer, sinking Ophelia into what looked like a black hole. When he called out to her, he had no voice. Suddenly the ringing from the explosion at the wagon filled his ears and his vision faded to black. The floor fell beneath him and he was now falling through the depths of space, and just out of his grasp, Ophelia fell with him. In fact, she was falling faster than him. In his heart he knew he would watch her hit the ground before he did. The two of them plummeted to earth as the sky swirled around them. He had to try and
