When I went in, city was kinda felt empty to me. There were two paths. I choose the red one. Moving forward, I saw the poke centre. I went in healed and fed my team. I had my breakfast. After that, I came out and moved to the blue side. Moving around, I asked about Cain and was told about a house.
I went in and saw twins, Cain and Shelly.
Anna" See! I told you, Dukhan was coming!"
Shelly" Brother! Are you okay?"
Dukhan" Yes, I am."
Cain" Where is Aya?"
Dukhan " On our way....."
I told them about everything.
Cain" Even though, I am worried. For time being, we can't do anything."
Shelly" Cain? Where is Heather?"
Cain" She has been adopted by a guy named Blake..."
Shelly" Blake?!! .... but he is.... Cal's brother...."
Cain" WHAT?!"
Shelly" I have to go and find her."
Dukhan" You can't."
Cain" The path is sealed by a huge ass iceberg."
Shelly" Then,... how she will move out?"
Cain " Can't she flew away?"
Shelly" ...yeah..."
Dukhan" But the people of Ametrine city can't."
Anna" Can't we melt it?"
Noel" Or break?"
Cain" Hardy tried to break it but didn't succeed."
Dukhan" It's made by never melt ice."
Anna" So, we can't go around nor above it." She said walking in circles.
Anna" But we can go under it."
Noel" Dive!"
Anna " Not bad, brother!"
Cain " Let me guess, from circus."
Anna" Nope."
Dukhan" It's Charlotte's gym here, right?"
Anna " Bingo!"
Shelly" Isn't she a fire type?"
Dukhan" Alright. I will return with badge."
I went out and moved further. I came across the infamous barrier. Hardy and Sapphira were there. I went to them.
Sapphira " Hello detective! The assault has been stopped for the time being. But I am still vigilant."
Hardy" Damn IT! Open it! Give Aya back!"
He started hitting the barrier. I told Sapphira about Eclipse.
Sapphira " I see."
Fern" Look what we have here!"
I looked towards him.
Dukhan" Well, I am not surprised."
Pachi' Coward!'
Hardy" You are... with meteor?!"
Fern " Well, I am just where I should be, on winning side."
Dukhan" Your ego is literally showing who you are. A scum!"
Fern" Shut up! Do you know how much power they or I should said, she has?"
Dukhan" Oh! I can handle Lin anytime!"
Pachi' Bring it, loser!'
Fern" I don't have time to chitchat with you losers. I got work to do."
He went away.
Sapphira" He seems decent but you did a fine job, detective."
I went to gym when I went in.
Charlotte" I can't believe, how it happened."
Laura" I don't know, she just called me and said that..." She stopped looking at me.
Charlotte looked at me.
Charlotte " Dukhan! Are you here for the battle?"
Dukhan " Yes, I need dive."
Laura" Excuse me!"
She went away.
Dukhan" What happened?"
Charlotte " I don't know how but Ame called her. She said that Laura isn't an elite four anymore. I don't know, it feels weird. Does leagues function like this?!"
Dukhan" I think, I have a clue."
Charlotte" What?"
I told her about Bennett.
Charlotte " Wait! YOU ARE TELLING ME! SOME BUG LOVER IS BEING REPLACED BY HER DUE TO SOMEONE FROM METEOR?!!"
Dukhan" If he has connections, yes."
Charlotte" I am going after Laura."
She went out. I moved out and saw some commotion. I went to barrier and saw Sirius coming with Aya in shackles.
Hardy" AYA! YOU BASTARD!! LET HER GO!"
Aya" I am okay."
Sirius" Now, now. What do we have here besides the dragon lady and your boyfriend, Dukhan."
Everyone looked at me.
Dukhan" Why don't you face me, coward?"
Sirius " Sorry but now I am in advantage. If you want her back, give me the Ruby Ring!"
Dukhan" No."
Hardy" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! IT'S JUST A FUCKING RING!!!"
Sapphira" It's more than that. It's a key."
Hardy " I DON'T CARE! DUKHAN! HANDOVER THE RING!"
Dukhan" No."
Aya" I am here for a ring?!!"
Sapphira " You made the correct decision, detective."
Hardy" ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! WHAT IF IT WAS ONE OF YOUR SISTERS?!!"
Sapphira" I would do the same."
Charlotte" Sis, you are saying that you will abandon us for a ring."
Sapphira" Yes."
Charlotte came to me.
Charlotte" Will you do the same if it was me?"
Dukhan " Yes."
Charlotte" I see."
Then, she took out the ring from my bag and ran away.
Charlotte " Meteor! If you want it, come to power station."
Sirius" Let's go."
Aya" Hey!"
Hardy" At least, she was smarter. I am going after her."
Sapphira" She did right, she take them away."
Dukhan " This way, she will become the target not me."
Hardy" Huh! Are you sacrificing her?"
Sapphira" Do you have siblings?"
Hardy" I have a sister. She is kinda like you."
Sapphira" Then, you are not close to each other. But me and my sisters are. We face many things. That's why we trust each other."
Hardy" So, now what?"
Sapphira" Go on, detective. She is waiting for you."
I nodded and went to checkpoint.
Charlotte" Do you like my performance?" She said with a smile.
Dukhan" Yes. It was really effective on Sirius."
Charlotte" You made the right choice back there. At times like this, emotions could be dangerous. We should teach that in our school."
She gave me the ring.
Charlotte" I shall be waiting for you in the gym, okay 😉"
She went to gym and I followed her. After battling gym trainers and healing up, I was standing in the battlefield across her.
