The Path To New Beginnings

In the Hoenn Region a young boy was walking through a forest with a Pokemon next to him. The boy had short spiky brown hair, blue eyes, and an average body for a young boy. He was wearing a white hoodie over a yellow t-shirt, some blue jeans, a simple one strap yellow backpack on his back, and a necklace with a rusty key on it with one blue, green, and red crystal in it around his neck. The Pokemon was a small blue creature with a fin on its head, a fin-like tail, a white belly, and orange spike on its face.

"I tell you Mudkip somewhere in this forest is our first new Pokemon friend. I can feel it." The boy said to Mudkip. (That's what you always say before we start running.) Mudkip said to the boy. "Come on Mudkip I have my guiding key here." The boy said, showing the key to Mudkip. (And that key has led us into a forest in the middle of nowhere.) Mukip said to the boy. "Come on Mudkip. If we catch one more Pokemon. We'll have enough Pokemon to battle Roxanne gym, then once we win will be one more step close to winning the Pokemon league, imagen it. "Introducing the winner of the Pokemon league William and his incredible Pokemon partener Mudkip." It will be a dream come true. What do you say?" William said to Mudkip.

(I don't care.) Mudkip said to William. "Come on Mudkip, have a little fun." William said to Mudkip. (Nope.) Mudkip said to William. "Then you leave me no choice. It's time for tickles." William said as he started to tickle Mudkip. (William- stop- it.) Mudkip said while laughing. Soon Mudkip jumped away from William. "You can't get away from me that easily Mudkip." William said to Mudkip as they started to run through the forest. For a few minutes they played this game of chase until William finally caught Mudkip.

"Got you." William said as he pulled Mudkip into his chest, closing his eyes and starting to spin. (You win William.) Mudkip said laughing while closing it eye's. What the two didn't know, was that they were heading to a slope. "Oh no!" William said as he tripped on a tree root and started to slide down the slope. "Owh owh owh owh owh." William said as he rolled down the hill holding Mudkip in his chest. After a few minutes of rolling down hill William and Mudkip finally landed at the bottom.

"Owh. Ok that was painful. Mudkip you okay?" William asked Mudkip as he got off the ground, while holding Mudkip in front of him. (The world won't stop spinning.) Mudkip said to William with spinning eyes in its eyes. "I take that as a. I'm ok, but the world won't stop spinning." William said to Mudkip. Then William started to look around.

"Mudkip look at this." William said, pulling the Mudkip in his chest. Soon Mudkip started to regain its focus and saw a giant field of flowers in front of them with rays of sunlight over all of it. "Look at this place some of these flowers don't bloom this time of year but here they are in full bloom." William said to Mudkip. (It's beautiful.) Mudkip said looking at the flowers.

"I wonder what's up with all these flowers?" William said to Mudkip as he sat down in the field. (No idea?) Mudkip said to William wondering the same thing. Soon William started to lay down. "You know after that tumble I feel like we need a nap. What do you say?" William asked Mudkip. (Works for me.) Mudkip said to William. Soon William placed Mudkip down and started to lay down. Once William was on the ground Mudkip snuggled right next to him and they both fell asleep. What they didn't know was that soon after they fell asleep William's key started to glow. Soon a bright light engulfed them and they disappeared.

On the plant Ephinea two young boy's were walking up a hill. One boy was wearing a light green jacket, a dark green shirt, brown pants, he had brown hair, and he had blue eyes. The other boy was wearing a green sweater and red shorts with blue eyes and short light blue hair. "Y-you're really going up there?" The boy with blue hair said to the brown hair boy. "Of course! Flowers bloom there all-year-round. Don't you want to see 'em? Come on! It'll be an adventure!" The brown hair boy said to the blue hair boy.

"D-dad's gonna be really angry if he finds out. How many times has he told us to stay away from Lhant Hill? It's dangerous!" The blue hair boy said to the brown hair boy. "You think I believe a word he says? Don't worry, it's fine. And besides, I'm 11 years old. I go where I want." The brown hair boy said to the blue hair boy before she started to walk. "W-wait! What about Cheria? Shouldn't we invite her too?" The boy with blue hair said to the brown hair boy. "No, she can sit this one out." The brown hair boy said to the blue hair boy, as the boy with brown hair stopped walking.

"What? Why?!" The boy with blue hair said to the brown hair boy. "She's sick Hubert. It would be hard on her. Besides, one scaredy-cat slowing me down is more than enough." The brown hair boy said to the blue hair boy. "Hey! That's not nice!" Hubert said the boy with brown hair. "Anyway, let's go! I wanna see what's up there!" The boy with brown hair said to Hubert as they made their way up the hill.

"Wow/ Whoa." The boys said as they reached a field of flowers with one tree that was high above the sea. "Aaah!" Hubert said. "What's wrong?" the boy with brown hair asked Hubert. "Th-there's some people there!" Hubert said, pointing to parts of the flowers field. The boy with brown hair turned his head to see two people sleeping in the field of flowers. One of them was William, but they couldn't see Mudkip. Because Mudkip was asleep on the side of William, that's why they couldn't see.

The other person was a girl with light purple hair with really long ponytails. She was wearing some jumpsuit with long white boots, and long blue gloves. "It looks like a girl and a boy." Hubert said to the boy with brown hair. "Hey you! Two what do you think you're doing sleeping out here?" The boy with brown hair said to William and the girl. "All right I'm up I'm up. Come on I had a pretty nasty fall, can't you just let me sleep." William said as he got up.

Then William noticed that he was on top of a cliff and not at the bottom of a hill. "WHERE AM I! Ok calm down William it's probably just a dream." William said as he then reached for Mudkip. "Mudkip wake up." William said, pulling Mudkip to his face surprising the boys.

"WHAT IS THAT!" Hubert yelled as he hid behind the boy with brown hair. (What is it William?) Mudikp said as it finally noticed that they were where they fell asleep. (WHAT THE?") Mudkip yelled looking around. "Mudkip quickly uses Water Gun and wake me up from this dream." William to Mudkip. (Ok, but you're not dreaming.) Mudkip said before firing a steam of water at Williams' face. Soon Mudkip stopped firing the steam of water, leaving William's head all wet.

"Ok not a dream." William said as he placed Mudkip down and started to shake his head. (Told you.) Mudkip said to William. "Hey! Why do you have a monster?" The boy with brown hair said to William. "Monster? You mean Mudkip?" William asked the boy with brown hair. "Yes. Now why do you have a monster?" The boy with brown hair asked William again. "Mudkip is not a monster, he's a Pokemon and my partner." William said to the boy with brown hair while pulling out, opening a small box holding a book from his bag.

Mudkip

The MudFish Pokemon

A Water Type Pokemon

The fin on Mudkip's head acts as a highly sensitive radar. Using this fin to sense movements of water and air, this Pokemon can determine what is taking place around it without using its eyes.

"Pokemon?" Hubert asked William, as William closed the book and put it back in the box and in his bag. "What? Don't you guys don't have Pokemon here?" William said to the boys. "No what's a Pokemon?" The boy with brown hair asked William. "Pokemon are powerful creatures that are deeply connected to nature." William said to the boys. "That sounds scary." Hubert said, hiding behind the boy with brown hair. "Don't be scared. Pokemon are also kind." William said to Hubert. "I don't know about that?" Hubert said to William. "I have an idea come here." William said to the boys.

The boys then looked at each other. "It's ok." William said to them. The boy with brown hair started to walk to Mudkip. He looked at Mudkip for a second before he started to pet him. (That's nice.) Mudkip said as he enjoyed the pets. "Cool. Hey Hubert come here." The boy with brown hair said to Hubert. Then Hubert slowly walked to them. Nervously Hubert started to pet Mudkip. "It's not that bad." Hubert said to the boy with brown hair. "Mudkip is a he not an it." William said to Hubert.

"So who are you?" The boy with brown hair asked William. "I'm William and who are you?" William asked the boy with brown hair. "I'm Asbel Lhant. Now where are you from?" Asbel asked William. "I'm from Littleroot Town in the Hoenn Region." William said to Asbel. "The Hoenn Region?" Asbel asked William. "You don't know the Hoenn Region?" William asked Asbel. "No we only have three major lands here, Windor, Fendel, and Stratha." Asbel said to William.

Then William and Mudkip looked at each other. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" William asked Mudkip. (That we're in another world.) Mudkip said to William. "We're in another world." William said to Mudkip. (I just said that.) Mudkip said to William. "What are you talking about? Dad says there is no such thing as the other worlds." Hubert said to us. "Well then how can you explain how I came from a land that you never heard of and I'm friends with something you never heard of before?" William asked Hubert.

"I believe him." Asbel said to Hubert. "But dad says…" Hubert said but was interrupted by Asbel. "Dad doesn't know everything. Hey William did you and uh?" Asbel said to Hubet and William, but forgot Mudkip's name. "Mudkip." William said Asbel. "Did you and Mudkip bring that girl with you?" Asbel said, pointing to the girl. Then William noticed the girl. "Whoa what the?" William said as he and Mudkip crawl away from the girl. (How come we didn't notice her sooner?) Mudkip asked William. "You mean you don't know her?" Absel asked William.

"No I've never seen here before." William said to Asbel as the girl started to get up. "Aah." Everyone said to the girl. Then the girl opened her eyes realviling purple eyes. She then just stared at them and didn't say anything. "I heard a voice." The girl said to them. "You did?" Asbel said to the girl. "I was asleep, at one with this place." The girl said to them. "Okay?" William said to the girl. "But then I heard your voice, and I woke up. Why was I awakened?" The girl said to them. "Mm, well I… well you know it's dangerous to sleep out here." Asbel said not looking at the girl.

"If you want to take a nap, maybe you should find a bed of something." Asbel said to the girl as she got up and followed a butterfly heading to the cliff. "Whoa!" William said getting up and ran to the girl. "Asbel! She's heading right or the cliff!" Hubert said to Asbel. Then the two of them grabbed her hands, stopping her from going off the clift. "Hey! You'll fall! What do you think you're doing?!" Asbel asked the girl. "Fall?" The girl said, wondering what that was. "You don't know what fall is?" William said to the girl. "Yeah fall! Splat! You know what that means, right?" Asbel said to the girl.

"No. what does it mean?" The girl asked them. "It means. Um well?" Asbel said, trying to find the words. Then Hubert and Mudkip walked to the edge of the cliff. "Whoa! That's a long way down. If you fell, you'd be in big trouble." Hubert said looking down. (It doesn't look that bad to me.) Mudkip said looking down. "See? You get it now? If you tell, you'd..." Asbel said until he noticed that he was still holding the girl's hands. Then Asbel let go of the girl's hand. "Oh, nevermind. Look, just stay away from the cliff. Understand?" Asbel said to the girl turning away from the girl.

"So where do you think she's from? I've never seen her before." Hubert asked Asbel. "Hey William do you think she came from your world?" Asbel asked William. William then let go of the girl's hand and started at the girl. He looked at the girl for a few seconds. "Nope I don't think so. What do you think Mudkip?" William asked Mudkip. (I agree. She doesn't have the spark that everyone in our world has.) Mudkip said to William.

"Hey, what's your name?" Asbel asked the girl. The girl didn't say anything. "Ah, right. That's rude. I should introduce myself first. I'm Asbel Lhant. This is my little brother, Hubert." Asbel said to the girl, while pointing to Hubert. "Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you." Hubert said to the girl. "And I'm William, and this is Mudkip." William said to the girl before, he picked up Mudkip and pulled him into his chest. (Hello.) Mudkip said to the girl. "So, tell us your name." Asbel asked the girl.

"My name? What was it? What was? My name?" the girl said looking around. "Hey! Don't tell you forgot your own name?" Asbel said to the girl. "I think she has." William said to Asbel. "Well then, I know. How about this? Can you at least tell us where you're from?" Hubert asked the girl. "Where I'm from?" The girl said looking around. She then just started to stare at one kind of flower. "Seriously? You don't remember that either?" Asbel asked the girl.

"Asbel? I wonder if maybe she has amnesia or something. They say that people with amnesia have trouble remembering things." Hubert said to Absel. "Amnesia, huh?" Asbel said looking at the girl. "I think you're right Hubert." William said to Hubert. "Hey. so you really can't remember anything?" Absel asked the girl. The girl didn't say anything. "Well you know Hubert. You may be right." Asbel said to Hubert. "So what do we do now?" Hubert asked Asbel.

"We bring her back to town." Asbel said to Hubert. "And what about us?" William asked Asbel. "You're coming with us." Asbel said to us. "What? Are you serious? Can we even do that?" Hubert asked Asbel. "Well, what else can we do? We can't just leave them here. And besides, maybe she'll remember something once we get back." Asbel said to Hubert. "Oh yeah. I suppose that makes sense." Hubert said to Asbel. "Hey why don't the three of you come back with us? There's no point standing around here, you know." Asbel said to them.

"Sounds good to me." William said to Asbel as the girl just nodded her head. "Great! We'd better get going, then." Asbel said to everyone. Then Asbel noticed the girl looking at the flowers. "You like flowers?" Asbel said to the girl as he picked a flower. "Here. take one for the road." Asbel said to the girl, handing her the flowers. But the girl just bent down and picked a flower herself. "It's just a flower, you know." Asbel said to the girl.

"You know some people like collecting flowers." William said to Asbel. "You two are weird. Well, never mind let's go!" Asbel said to everyone. Soon everyone started to walk down the hill. A few minutes later everyone was in a town. It wasn't a very large town, but there were a lot of people. The town was surrounded by big stone walls and natural rock walls. "What a nice town you have here Asbel." William said to Asbel. "Thanks William." Asbel said to William. (It's not muddy enough for me.) Mudkip said to Asbel. "I'm glad you like our town Mudkip." Asbel said to Mudkip. (I didn't say that.) Mudkip said to Asbel.

"So what do we do now?" Hubert asked Asbel. "Hmm." Asbel said as he started to think. "Hey! Asbel!" A girl's voice said to Asbel. Everyone then turned their heads to see a girl standing wearing a white dress, who had brown eyes and long red in one long bread. "Uh-oh. It's Cheria!" Asbel said to everyone after he noticed the girl. "Who?" William asked Hubert. "She's a friend." Hubert said to William.

"Care to explain why you decided to leave me behind?" Cheria asked them. "Y-you're in trouble. She's really mad!" Hubert said to Asbel. "I vote we start running." William said to Asbel. "Yeah let's run." Asbel said to everyone. "Don't you move a muscle! I'm not gonna let you run off without me again!" Cheria said to them before she started to run to them. But she didn't get far. She ran for a few seconds before she stopped trying to catch her breath.

"Hey, are you okay?" Asbel said as all the boys ran to Cheria who was still trying to catch her breath. "You know you shouldn't be running like that." Asbel said to Cheria. "You guys went to Lhant Hill, didn't you!" Cheria asked Asbel. "Um… Uh, where's that?" Asbel asked Cheria trying to act like he didn't know about Lhant Hill. "Oh, don't play dumb with me! It's the hill where the flowers bloom all year round! You must have promised me a dozen times you'd take me with you when you went there!" Cheria said to Asbel.

"I'm sorry. But look, if I brought you there, you'd be too tired to walk back. And then I'd have to carry you on my back again." Asbel said to Cheria. "And you always get really angry whenever Asbel has to carry you." Hubert said to Cheria. "Sounds like a lose / lose scenario to me." William said to Cheria. Then Cheria turned and finally got a good look at William. "And who's the guy with the stuffed animal?" Cheria asked Asbel. "This is William and Mudkip. We meet them on Lhant Hill." Asbel said to Cheria. (And I'm not a stuffed Pokemon.) Mudkip said surprising Cheria.

"What a monster? Asbel why are you hanging out with a monster?" Cheria asked Absel. "Mudkip isn't a monster, he's a Pokemon." Absel said to Cheria. "What's a Pokemon?" Cheria asked Asbel. "Pokemon are power creatures that are connected to nature, but they are also kind creatures." William said to Cheria. "These things are powerful and kind creatures?" Cheria said looking at Mudkip. (Yes we are.) Mudkip said to Cheria. "But I have to ask. What's wrong with Asbel carrying you?" William asked Cheria.

"Well, that, that's just because he's so terrible at it!" Cheria said to William while looking at Asbel. Then Cheria started to cough. "See, what did I tell you? Here, hop on." Asbel said as he got down to let her get on his back. "I promise I'll try to be more careful this time." Asbel said to Cheria. "Uh… that's all right. I can walk on my own." Cheria said to Asbel while blushing. They boys didn't notice the blush, but Mudkip did. (Ah so that's the real reason why you don't want Asbel to leave you behind and to carry you?) Mudkip said to Cheria. "What was that Mudkip?" William asked Mudkip.

"Hey. Where did that girl go?" Hubert asked everyone. Then they notice the girl wasn't next to them. "What girl?" Cheria asked the boys. (The one over there.) Mudkip said to them using his fin to point to the spot that they were just at. "Oh she's over there." William said to Asbel. "Huh? Why is she still back there?" Asbel asked everyone. "No idea?" William said to Asbel. "Go get her, Hubert." Asbel said to Hubert. "Uh... Right!" Hubert said as he went to get the girl.

Soon Hubert guilded the girl to the rest of the group. "Hey there! So why didn't you follow us?" Asbel asked the girl. "That girl told us not to move." The girl said to Asbel. "It was a figure of speech and it was mostly for Asbel." William said to the girl. "Asbel? Who is this girl?" Cheria asked Asbel. "I don't know. We found her on the hill and brought her back here." Asbel said to Cheria. "Why did you do that?" Cheria asked Asbel before she started to get a close look at the girl. 'Hmm… She seems a little older than me… so, is this the kind of girl Asbel likes? Hmm?' Cheria thought as she looked at both the girl and Asbel.

"Come on, Cheria. Don't stare at her like that. You two should try to be friends!" Asbel said to Cheria. "Hmph." Cheria said while she looked at Asbel. "Oh I was wondering. What's with that flower you're holding, Asbel?" Cheria asked Asbel as she noticed the flower in his hand. "Wow, it's just beautiful! How levely. So did you bring this flower back. For me?" Cheria asked Asbel. "Actually... I um…" Asbel said, trying to find the words.

Then William and Hubert walked to Asbel. "Just say it's for her! It'll make her feel better." Hubert whispered to Asbel. "And it might just save your skin." William whispered to Asbel. "Uh, yeah. Something like that." Asbel said to Cheria, giving her the flower. "Oh Asbel. Well since you were kind enough to bring me a flower, I guess I can forgive you just this once." Cheria said, taking the flower and looking at the flower. "This is a Sopheria, isn't it? They don't normally bloom this time of years. I guess the stories about that place are true." Cheria said to Asbel.

"Yeah, the hill had flowers blooming all over the place." Asbel said to Cheria. "Aww." Cheria said to the flower. "That one little flower sure is making her happy, huh Asbel?" Hubert whispered to Asbel. "Looks like you live to see another day." William whispered to Asbel. "Happy?" The girl said looking at the flower in her hand. Then the girl handed the flower to Cheria. "Oh! Uh, you're giving me one too?" Cheria asked the girl. The girl then nodded her head yes. "Th-thank you. That was really nice of you." Cheria said to the girl as she took the flower. "Happy?" the girl said wondering what that was.

"So what's your name? Where are you from?" Cheria asked the girl. "We asked her the same things earlier, but she doesn't know." Asbel said to Cheria. "We think she might have amnesia." Hubert said to Cheria. "What?! Oh my gosh, that's terrible!" Cheria said to everyone. "We were hoping she'd remember something if we brought her into town." Asbel said to Cheria. "Well? Has seeing the town helped you with your memory at all?" Hubert asked the girl.

She then looked around the town. "Guess not. Maybe we should try asking around or something." Hubert said to everyone. "Oh maybe we should go and ask my grandpa! He knows pretty much everyone around here, you know?" Cheria said to Asbel. "Oh, good idea. I bet Frederic would know something." Asbel said to Cheria. "Ok then let's go find this Frederic guy." William said to everyone. Then they started to move.

Soon they made their way to a two story house with a large yield and four beds of flowers all in the form of a circle. The yield also had a fountene. All right next to a small creek. "So where's Frederic?" WIlliam asked Asbel while looking around. "That's him, the guy watering the flowers." Asbel said to William pointing to a man. Then William turned his head to the front of the house and saw a man watering the flowers.

The man had grey hair orderly hair, was wearing a butler suit and had glasses on his face. Then the man noticed the group. "Welcome back, Master Asbel, Master Hubert." Frederic said to Asbel and Hubert. "Hey, Frederic." Asbel said to Frederic. "You ran off on me again, Cheria." Frederic said to Cheria. "I'm sorry, Grandpa." Cheria said to Frederic. "Please forgive her, my young masters. I've instructed her that you are not to be bothered, yet she refuses my council." Frederic said to Asbel and Hubert.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It's no bother at all. Anyway, we were wondering if you've ever seen this girl before?" Asbel asked Frederic. "This young woman?" Frederic asked Asbel. Asbel then nodded his head yes and Frederic started to look at the girl. "Mmm. No, I don't believe I have." Fredric said to Asbel. "There goes that idea, you have any other idea." William said to Asbel. Then Frederic noticed William and Mudkip. "And who is this Master Asbel?" Frederic asked Asbel.

"This is William and Mudkip we found them with the girl." Asbel said to Frederic. "It's nice to meet you Frederic." William said to Frederic. (Hello.) Mudkip said to Frederic, surprising him. "Master Asbel why are you hanging around with someone who has a monster?" Frederic asked Asbel. "It's ok Frederic Mudkip isn't a monster he's a Pokemon. And he's really nice." Asbel said to Frederic. (Here let me show you. Put me down William.) Mudkip said to Frederic and William. "What are you doing Mudkip?" William asked Mudkip as he put him down.

Then Mudkip started to walk to the flowers. (Water gun.) Mudkip said as he fired a small stream of water onto the flowers. "Amazing it can make its own water." Frederic said to William. "Mudkip is a boy, Frederic." William said to Frederic as Mudkip walked back to William. "Anyway Grandpa, this girl has amnesia." Cheria said to Frederic. "You don't say? That's quite the dilemma. Perhaps I should make a few inquiries around town." Frederic said to the group.

"No, that's all right. We'll do it ourselves. C'mon guys, let's head into town," Asbel said to Frederic. "Asbel I don't think that we'll learn anything from walking around town." William said to Asbel. "You don't know that. Besides we have nothing better to do." Asbel said to William. (He has a point.) Mudkip said to William. "Fine let's go." William said to Asbel. "Do strive to return before dark, yes?" Frederic said to Asbel. "You got it!" Asbel said to Frederic.

Then they started to walk around town. They asked a lot of people, but no one had any answers for them, but someone did mention a girl that was some kind of traveling beastmaster that was just outside the city. William didn't think that the traveling beastmaster had anything to do with the girl, but Asbel told him what's the harm in asking. Soo they made their way to the traveling beastmaster who had a big yellow bird. Mudkip ran to meet the bird wondering what it is

"You there! Approach and bear witness to the rare and mysterious arts of the Strahtan beastmaster!" The traveling beastmaster said to everyone as she noticed the group walking to her. "Hey do you recognize this girl?" Asbel asked the traveling beastmaster. "Not in the slightest! Is she lost?" The traveling beastmaster asked Asbel. "No, she has amnesia," Hubert said to the traveling beastmaster. "Ahh. How very unfortunate. Perhaps what she needs is to witness the astounding feats of a beastmaster!" The traveling beastmaster said to the group. Then Mudkip noticed that the bird was asleep.

"Hmm. Okay sure. Let's see what you've got!" Asbel said to the traveling beastmaster. (This bird is not going to do anything.) Mudkip said to the group while everyone started to clap for the traveling beastmaster. "Great. Prepare to be astounded! *Ahem* Abracadabra!" The traveling beastmaster said to the beast. But the beast didn't do anything. "Hocus pocus, front flip. Go!" The traveling beastmaster said to the bird, but again the bird did nothing. "Um, he's not moving." Cheria said to the traveling beastmaster. (Told you.) Mudkip said to the group.

"Urgh! This isn't supposed to happen!" The traveling beastmaster said to the group. "Here, let me try. Abracadabra, front flip go!" Asbel said to the bird. But the bird did nothing, but the girl then walked into the middle of the group and did a front flip surprising everyone. "Holy moly! Hey, what other tricks can she do?" the traveling beastmaster asked the group. "No idea." William said to the traveling beastmaster. "Let's find out. Uh… Woozle wozzle backflip, go!" Asbel said as the girl did a backflip.

"Front flip with a twist!" Asbel said as the girl did another front flip with a twist. "Uh… jump really high!" Asbel said as she jumped up a high into the air. "Now spin! Spin around and around, and then stop!" Asbel said as the girl started to spin around and around for a few seconds before she stopped. "Is anyone else freaked out by how she moved?" William asked everyone. "That. Was. INCREDIBLE!" The traveling beastmaster said to the girl as everyone but William and Mudkip started to clap. (Nope.) Mudkip said to William.

"Wow, thanks for the great show, kids! Your friend here must be an acrobat from the circus! Or maybe an assassin femme fatale trained by a secret organization! Well, either way, it was pretty impressive. I hope you were paying attention, Puffy. Our act is gonna need some serious work! Let's get going." The traveling beastmaster said to her bird. Then the bird woke up and they started to leave. "Are we gone?" The girl asked the group.

"So she's either from the circus, or an assassin." Asbel said while looking at the girl. "Really?" Cheria said to Asbel. "Yeah I don't think she's either of those." William said to Asbel. "I don't know. But those movements felt familiar, as if I'd done them before." The girl said to everyone. "That's muscle memory. Even if you forget your memories. Your muscles will remember how to do any tricks that you know. But that raises a question where did you learn those moves?" William said while looking at the girl. "Hmm… maybe the beastmaster lady was right?" Asbel said to William.

"Maybe?" William said rubbing his chin. "We should head home. I doubt we'll find anything else here." Hubert said to everyone. "Yeah let's head home." Asbel said to everyone. Soon everyone made it back to Asbel and Hubert's house. When they got there they saw a woman with short blue hair wearing a red dress talking to Frederic. "Who is that?" William asked Asbel. "That's our mom." Asbel said to William. "Oh mom!" Hubert said to his mother. "Hi mom." Asbel said to his mother. "Hello Mis Lahnt, I'm William, a new friend of Asbel. And this is my friend Mudkip." William said to Asbel's mother. (Hello.) Mudkip said to Asbel's mother.

"Frederic told me about your friend, I must say he's much cuter than Frederic described." Asbel's mother said to Mudkip. (I'm not cute, I'm fierce.) Mudkip said, moving to be right in front of Asbel's mother trying to act fierce. "He's saying I'm not cute, I'm fierce." William said to Asbel's mother. "How could something like this be fierce." Asbel's mother said as she kneel down to pet Mudkip. (If you think a few pets can win me over you got another thing.) Mudkip said to Asbel's mother. Then Asbel's mother started to pet Mudkip and Mudkip then started to like it. (I guess I was wrong.) Mudkip said, enjoying the pets.

"Wow you're a nature Asbel's mom." William said to Asbel's mother. "Please call me Lady Kerri." Asbel's mother said to William. "Ok Lady Kerri." William said to Kerri. "Boys. your father wishes to speak with you." Kerri said to her sons as she stopped petting Mudkip. "He's just gonna yell at us again. He doesn't know when to quit." Asbel said to Kerri. Kerri then just shocked her head no. "Asbel, you mustn't speak so of your father. He thinks only of you and your brother's best interests." Kerri said to Asbel.

'Ugh. Not this again' Asbel though having heard that excuse one too many times. "Your father is waiting in his study. Hurry along and see what he needs." Kerri said to her sons. "All right, all right." Asbel said to Kerri. "Hey, Cheria? Can you keep an eye on William and her until we get back?" Asbel asked Cheria. "Huh? Oh, sure." Cheria said to Asbel. "You must forgive my son, Cheria. He puts you through so much trouble." Kerri said to Cheria. "Oh no! It's no trouble!" Cheria said to Kerri. "Regardless, you should rest. You must be exhausted after all that Asbel put you through." Kerri said to Cheria.

"I didn't put her through anything!" Asbel said to Kerri. "Yeah all we did was walk around town." William said to Kerri. "But William, Asbel is the heir to the Lhant lordship, Asbel. You must learn to think more carefully about those around you. From now on, you are forbidden to take Cheria with you when you play. Do you understand?" Kerri said to Asbel and William surprising everyone. "No! Lady Kerri, please! I'm fine!" Cheria said as she started to get tired. "Cheria!" Frederic said as he noticed Cheria getting tired.

"This is ridiculous. Dad's bad enough, but now you?" Asbel said to Kerri. "Come on Lady Kerri. I know you're just looking out for Cheria, but you'll do more harm than good if you force Cheria to leave." William said to Kerri. "He's right. I'll play with whoever I want, so you can just butt out!" Asbel said to Kerri. "Asbel!" Kerri said to her son as Cheria started to cough. "Cheria?!" Asbel said as Frederic ran to Cheria. "Oh dear, you should take her home, Frederic." Kerri said to Frederic. "Come along Cheria." Frederic said to Cheria. "I… I'm sorry." Cheria said to everyone before she was taken away with Frederic holding her and Kerri following them.

"Cheria." Hubert said watching them leave. (How sick is Cheria?) Mudkip asked Asbel. "We should go see what Dad wants." Hubert said to Asbel. "Hey... you three want to come?" Asbel asked the girl, William, and Mudkip. "Yes." The girl said to Asbel. "Let's go." William said to Asbel. (I have a bad feeling about this) Mudkip said to Asbel as they all started to move inside. Soon they entered a large room with rows of books on the walks, flags covering above some windows and some chairs against the wall. And in the back of the room was a person sitting by a desk.

The person was a tall muscle man wearing an orange jacket and had spiky brown hair with a small beard. "Is that your Dad?" William whispered to Asbel. "Yeah that's Aston Lhant our dad." Asbel whispered to William. "You certainly took your time, Asbel. Hm? Who's the girl and the boy? And why is there a monster here?" Aston said as he noticed the group walking into the room.

"We met them outside town. The boy is William and that's his friend Mukip. And she seems to have amnesia. She doesn't remember who she is or where she's from." Hubert said to Aston. "What about the boy?" Aston asked Hubert. "He said he's from another world." Hubert said to Aston. "There is no such thing as another world." Aston said as he got up. "But it's the truth." William said to Aston. "Well, we can worry about such things later. I need to speak with you." Aston said to Asbel.

"What is it now?" Asbel asked Aston as his dad walked to the window. "I received a letter from a very important man in the capital. His son is coming to visit Lhant." Aston said to Asbel looking out the window. "A visitor from the capital, huh?" Asbel said to Aston. "That's rare, isn't it, Dad!" Hubert said to Aston. Then Aston turned away from the window.

"This boy is around the same age as you, but you are not to approach or peak with him. He hails from one of the most powerful families in the Windor Kingdom. We cannot be seen to show him even the slightest disrespect. If something were to happen, it would be a blight on the Lhant name. Do you understand, Asbel?" Aston said to Asbel. "Why are you just asking me?" Asbel said to Aston. "Do you understand?" Aston said to Asbel. "Yes." Asbel said in defeat.

"Good. As for the girl, I shall hand her over to the authorities. I'm confident they will be able to find her family. And as for the boy. I'll have some guards take him home and tell his parents to give their kid a lecture about lying to people. This is the best thing we can do for them now." Aston said to everyone. "What? Huh?" Asbel and William said at the same time. "This plan should put your mind at ease, yes?" Aston asked William and the girl. "But sir I'm telling the truth and I don't have a home or parents to return to. And I would like to stay here with Asbel." William said to Aston. "And I want to be with Asbel as well." The girl said to Aston while looking at Asbel.

"You do?" Asbel asked William and the girl. "What is this about, Asbel?" Aston asked Asbel. "You two don't want to go?" Asbel asked William and the girl. "Of course we're friends, are we not." William said to Asbel. "We are?" Asbel asked William. "You hanged out with us all day and showed us around town. I think that makes us friends." William said to Asbel. "And you?" Asbel asked the girl. "I don't know. But… I want to stay with Asbel." The girl said to Asbel. "Are you in some sort of trouble?" Aston asked the girl.

"Of course she isn't! Um, right?" Asbel said to Aston while looking at the girl. The girl didn't say anything. She just titlied her head. "I'll take that as a I don't know?" William said to everyone. "Well, they cannot stay here. I will contact the authorities and make arrangements for their transfer." Aston said to Asbel. "Come on, let William stay. And don't worry about it. I can take care of her." Asbel said to Aston. "What?" Aston asked Asbel. "William doesn't have anywhere to go and I can take care of her!"

"This is foolishness." Aston said to Asbel. "I'm serious!" Asbel said to Aston. "Do you even understand what you're saying? You are a powerless child who couldn't possibly be entrusted with such responsibility." Aston said to Asbel. "How will you know if you don't let me try?" Asbel said to Aston. "He's right Sir. What's wrong with Asbel trying?" William said to Aston. Aston just looked at Asbel and William. Then the door opened and Frederic walked in.

"My lord, a messenger has arrived concerning our guest from the capital." Frederic said to Aston. "Right send him in. Asbel we shall continue this conversation later. Until then stay out of trouble." Aston said to Frederic and Asbel. "Dammit." Asbel said to himself. "Come on Asbel." Hubert said to Asbel. "I'm going to help her, and I don't care what anyone says!" Asbel said to Aston stomping his foot.

"Let's go!" Asbel said to the group. "O-okay." Hubert said to Asbel as they all started to move well everyone but Mudkip. (You're not a nice man are you?) Mudkip said Aston. Aston just looked at Mudkip wondering what he said. "Mudkip let's go." William said to Mudkip. Mudkip then gave Aston a look before running to William. "What is the deal with that monster." Aston said watching Mudkip leave.

Soon they were all outside. "Seems like all Dad knows how to do is treat me like a child! I can't stand it! And why am I the only one he ever yells at?!" Asbel said, stomping his foot into the ground. "W-well, you're the oldest. And that means you'll be the lord of Lhant one day." Hubert said to Asbel. "And from what I saw in the room you and your dad. Both you and your dad are really stubborn." William said to Asbel. "Who's side are you on?" Asbel asked William. "I'm on your side. But remember father is trying to rise to be a strong leader of Lhant." William said to Asbel.

"I'd rather become a knight in service of the king." Asbel said to William. "A knight?" William asked Asbel. "The capital has a special training school for knights. Did you know that?" Asbel said to everyone starting to cheer up. "I've heard of it. But Asbel, can you... Can you really take care of this girl?" Hubert asked Asbel. They all turned their heads to see the girl looking at the flowers. Then the girl turned to the group wondering what they were talking about.

"Yeah. I don't have a choice. I have to show Dad that I'm not just some useless child." Asbel said to Hubert. "Well, yes, but…" Hubert said to Asbel but was interrupted by Wlliam. "Relax Hubert let's just take this one step at a time." William said, placing his arm around Huberts shoulder. (Looks who's back.) Mudkip said, making everyone turn to see Cheria hiding behind bushes. "Hey, Cheria! You feeling better?" Asbel Cheria as she walked to the group. "Oh… yes. I'm fine." Cheria said to Asbel.

"Glad to hear that." William said to Cheria. "So did your dad decide what to do with William and the mystery girl?" Cheria asked Asbel. Yeah, "William is going to stay here and I'm going to take care of her." Asbel said to Cheria, surprising her. "WHAAAT?!" Cheria yelled at Asbel before she started to cough again. "Don't shout like that! You'll make yourself sick again." Asbel said to Cheria. "It's your fault! What do you mean, you're going to take care of her?" Cheria asked Asbel.

"What about me?" William asked Cheria, but everyone ignored him. "I just mean I'll be responsible for her until we find out who she is." Asbel said to Cheria. "What if we never find out?!" Cheria asked Asbel. Then Asbel closed his eyes and crossed his arm and started to think. (Don't hurt yourself their Asbel.) Mudkip said to Asbel. "Well then. I'll be with her for the rest of my life!" Asbel said surprising everyone.

"The rest of your-." Cheria said to Asbel but suddenly stopped. "No! You can't do that! Are you kidding?! You just can't!" Cheria said to Asbel. "Too late! I've already decided." Asbel said to Cheria. "Let it go, Cheria. He'll never change his mind now." Hubert said to Cheria. "Un-believable." Cheria said looking down. William and Mudkip watched this then William got an idea. "Mudkip do you think the reason Cheria's mad at Asbel is because she likes him?" William whispered to Mudkip. (Yeap.) Mudkip said to William when the girl started to walk to Cheria.

Then the girl started to rub Cheria's head. "Hey, you're with us now, okay. Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine." Asbel said to the girl. "Okay." The girl said to Asbel. "But if you're gonna be our friend, we need to give you a name." Asbel said to the girl. "Any ideas?" William asked Asbel. "Hmm... how about… Tiger Festival!" Asbel said to everyone, surprising everyone. "You idiot!" Cheria said to Asbel. "Yeah that's the no name for a lady." William said to Asbel.

"He's right what kind of a girl would want a stupid name like that! Unbelievable!" Cheria said to Asbel. "My brother's not very good with names." Hubert said to the group. (Obviously.) Mudkip said to Hubert. "I fear for the name of your future children." William said to Asbel, making Cheria blush a little. "Fine, then what do you want to call her?" Asbel asked everyone. "Um. Well, I don't know." Cheria said to Asbel. "I got nothing, any ideas Mudkip?" William asked Mudkip. (Why are you asking me?) Mudkip said to William.

"We found her in a meadow, right? So maybe we should name her after a flower." Hubert said to Asbel. "That's a good idea but what flower should we name her after?" William asked everyone. "Cheria, what was the name of that flower I gave you?" Asbel asked Cheria. "Hm? It's called a sopheria." Cheria said to Asbel. "Sopheria. Ah-hah! I got it! We're gonna name her Sophie!" Asbel said to everyone.

"Sophie. Ooh, it's kind of pretty." Hubert said to Asbel. "I agree. It's a good name." Cheria said to Asbel. "Yeah that's a much better name then Tiger Festival." William said to Asbel. (Anything better than Tiger Festival.) Mudkip said to William. "Even Mudkip agree's." William said to Asbel. "All right, from now on, your name is Sophie! Is that Okay. Sophie?" Asbel said to Sophie. "Sophie." Sophie said, testing out her new name.

"Well? Do you like it or what?" Asbel asked Sophie. "My name is Sophie." Sophie said to everyone. "Nice to meetcha, Sophie!" Asbel said to Sophie. "I hope we're all great friends." William said to Sophie with a smile on their faces.
