Hau, Lillie, and I are took a deep breathe of the cool air. The breeze off of the lake was vastly different from the volcanic air that we had just came from. We were all relieved to get out of the heat and the volcanic ash. Of course this was a bittersweet moment for me.... Continue Reading →
I knelt there holding Smokey in my arms. His breathing was stable but weak. He was just one attack from being knocked out.

I tossed and turned the entire night. The rocky ground below me did not help me get comfortable and the hot, ash-filled air didn't help either. I felt like I was breathing through a blanket. The hot air just clung to me and put pressure on my chest. It was a rough night. Eventually I... Continue Reading →
I turned back around but Gladion was nowhere to be seen. The crowd was starting to shuffle out of the battle area and into the lobby. Lillie and Hau walked up to me. “Where have you been?” Lillie asked. “Yeah you missed the entire battle,” Hau said. “The Masked Royal was incredible!” “Gladion was here,”... Continue Reading →
