It felt like ages before the thunderous shaking of the earth finally ceased. Earthquakes in Sinnoh weren't uncommon, though you knew something about this wasn't right. Professor Rowan had originally tasked you, Barry, and Lucas with going to Sinnoh's three lakes to gather information on the mythical Lake Trio, and you'd soon come to learn that the source of the quake was an explosion at Lake Valor. Now, they were going to the lakes for a very different reason.

Something in your stomach, and in your heart, would turn at that. You weren't worried about yourself, really, but more for your friends. Other patrons of Canalave's library would pick themselves up from the floor, having dove for cover once the earth began to churn. Books had tumbled from the shelves, though the group didn't have time to help clean up.

For once, you were on the move before Barry was, pushing your chair back from the table as you stood. Midnight eyes gaze upon your friends, lingering on Barry especially. "Be careful. I'll let you all know what I find out."

You noticed the denizens of Canalave outside after you left the library, some looking around for structural damage, while others talked amongst themselves. If time was a luxury you had more of, you would have stuck around to assist.

The late autumn air stung your face as you took to the skies, fingers threaded through Dela's soft feathers. You knew the Togekiss was pushing herself - perhaps a bit too much - but there's a silent understanding between you both that this situation is dire.

It felt like an eternity before the lakefront finally rolled over on the horizon. The sight, and sudden realization that the barren crater below was Lake Valor made your heart drop to your stomach. All of the water had been blown from the lake, with only what appeared to be a small river trickling in on one of the corners.

You feel your stomach twist uncomfortably as you silently wonder if a similar fate is in store for the other two lakes. The worry you felt earlier for your friends only grows at the thought... but your friends were strong. They wouldn't have made it this far if otherwise, right? You had to trust in them - believe in them - for they surely would do the same for you.

Dela was returned to her ball when you land, and you waste no time in accosting the first Galactic grunt you see. Though something deep within you tells you that the spirit of the lake is no longer here, you can't give up anyways. Galactic doesn't belong here - not at such a sacred place... and for them to defile it in such a way only made your blood ice over.

Each and every Galactic grunt was dispelled with a ferocity you didn't know you and your team were capable of until now. Emperor stalked behind as you entered the cavern, looming behind you menacingly. Your lips set in a line, jaw clenched tightly, and nothing but a cold, cold fury in those nighttime eyes of yours. There was the final Galactic admin you hadn't met on your journey so far - a man with blue hair that called himself Saturn.

"How dare you," you spat, voice dripping with acidity and ice; unbecoming of your normal, calm demeanor. Your Empoleon moved from behind, to stand in front of you - his pointed glare was far more menacing than your own. The fury the two of you had towards the admin was palpable in the small cavern, the air feeling far colder than it normally should.

You were going to make him pay.
