That night, some planning took place. Having to account for Kasumi's arrival, with the help of her friends, Ash came up with some ideas. First, she wanted to finally get Keiko's potion out of the way, and once that was settled, then, she could focus on training up again. Finally, when she was done here, she'd head up to Jade and organize whatever it was that the Royal Council wanted to do with Pearl. She wasn't too interested in the prospect of taking the city back, but if she could close a couple of portals and squeeze in more EXP, she'd be happy with whatever they suggested.
The first step in all of this was a simple one, but one that Ash had hesitated to do ever since Lumina had told her that it was an option. That was, of course, collecting the dragon eye from Sinneah.
