"I'm not too sure." I replied to Kinnie, "The map seems to list this as the only way to get to Floaroma Town via the walking trail, so I don't think it'd be too complicated.
"It isn't." chimed in Cody, "I grew up in Sinnoh, and at least in my world, which so far is pretty similar, it's only about an hour to get through the cave."
The sounds of wild Pokemon echoed through the caves, and as we walked, they began to reveal themselves.

As you walk alongside the river, you can't help but notice some quiet thumps. Very soon after you notice, they stop. A few minutes later, you feel the ground rumble, as a Pokemon emerges from the water, shrieking in anger. The Pokemon seems territorial, and angry that you have broken into its home (even if it was just an accident). Water is thrown from the river, leaving you soaked, as the Pokemon stares you down, ready to attack...

It was late morning by the time I arrived in Jubilife City. I had been traveling at a quick walk. Fast enough to cover ground, but not too quick that I am not able to properly pay attention to what's around me. Especially seeing as that version of Brettles is probably tailing me. Gwaine had put a fair bit of space between us, but even then, I wasn't going to dawdle.
However, the thing that surprised me most was the fact that it seemed like somebody was waiting for me in Jubilife. As I walked through the city gates, I was approached by a man in a suit, who looked like some sort of government official.
"Are you Jacob Reed?" the man asked.
"Who wants to know?" I asked, surprised that someone here knew my name. Could he have met Sophie?
"My employer wishes to meet with you." The man replied, seeming unsure of me. I looked as his eyes wavered between making contact with me own, and looking at the sword on my back.
"And why would I want to meet with your employer?"
"He told me you would after I said "Hey d****ebag" for him." The man said, before gesturing to a nearby billboard. I looked over, and saw it was an advertisement for a new smartwatch, however was surprised when I saw the company.
Dash Corp.
"So feel like coming with me now?" The man asked.
"Not particularly, but I guess I should." I replied.
The man lead me to a nearby skyscraper, before taking me to a private lift, up to the top floor. After going through multiple security checkpoints, all of which were apprehensive about the sword but for some stupid reason, let me keep it, I found myself in what looked like a cross between a science fiction villains lab, and a mechanics workshop. However one of the walls had been blown apart.
"Well well well. If it isn't my favorite d****ebag..." came a voice from behind me. I groaned as I turned to face Dash. He looked more cocky than ever.
"What the f*** did I do to deserve this Arceus..." I muttered out loud as Dash walked past.
"Trust me, I am doing you a favor, and it's only because you have brought me something I want." Dash explained, "After the night I had, I am not in the mood for giving favors..."
"That arm cannon of his is really something." I explained, gesturing to the hole in the wall. Dash looked at me shocked.
"You've seen his as well?" Dash asked, "Brettles?"
"That's a Brettles, but not Brettles." I replied, "Did you ever see that superhero movie that came out like fifteen years ago? Captain Unova: The Winter Warrior? Did it even come out in this world?"
"I think so." Dash replied.
"In that, he is fighting this mysterious dude called the Winter Warrior, and at the end realizes it's his friend Lucky, who apparently died years ago. But he has been brainwashed, and isn't Lucky anymore." I explained, "This isn't the Brettles we know, but another. Winter Brettles or something, and he has an axe to grind with me."
"Not just you." Dash explained, "From what I gather he went after your daughter."
"You know Sophie?" I asked, "The only reason I am here is to find her and bring her home."
"I do, but things aren't good..." Dash explained, before shifting his attention elsewhere, "Download, get the news footage from this morning up."
The monitor nearby lit up with a news flash from this morning.
"World-renowned Professor, James Rowan has been arrested on fraud, conspiracy, weapons and terrorism charges.
In the early hours of this morning, eight people were found dead on Route 203, most of them burnt beyond recognition, however one recognizable as a child, and the other seven, identified as Team Galactic, based on evidence found in the abandoned vehicle nearby which had still been running. It is believed that this is a vigilante attack, and whilst it is not believed Professor Rowan himself lead the attack, the search of his laboratory resulted in the discovery of experimental weapons technology, and falsified identification papers, given to the trainers believed to have attacked Team Galactic at Lake Verity, back on the 6th of September.
Additionally, Sinnoh Police have issued warrants for the arrest of the following trainers, on suspicion of terrorism and the attack on Route 203 resulting in eight deaths. Anybody who sees these trainers is warned to not approach them, but instead to call Sinnoh Police immediately."

"Someone has framed them and Rowan." Dash explained, "I hacked Professor Rowan's system years ago. The old fart might know a lot about Pokemon, but his system is more antiquated than he is. I hacked it so I could monitor his monitoring equipment, which is how I found Sophie and how I found you. And I can tell you, Professor Rowan could not make a weapon like that in his wildest dreams."
"So who would it be then?" I asked, shocked at the thought of Sophie on the run.
"At a guess, Team Galactic." Dash explained, "DL, put on the footage from yesterday."
Appearing on the monitor was the footage the professor showed me.
"This footage aired on the news yesterday, but here is the thing. Legally speaking it shouldn't have." Dash explained, "The police needed to sign off on it, and they can only do that if the news company provide written consent from those shown. But I hacked into their database and they didn't get that. But the police still signed off on it anyway."
"I think that Team Galactic have people in the Sinnoh Police Department, and by doing this, they have made them famous and recognizable, so they are easier to find and catch." Dash explained, "Lucky for them, this intrigued me. I was looking through the database for more information last night and saw the news about them being wanted a few minutes before it aired, and was able to warn them. The police haven't found them, so they must have skipped town fairly quickly."
"The Professor said he is meeting them in Celestic Town, but if he has been arrested, I doubt they will stay there long enough for me to catch up." I muttered irritably, "Wait, they communicated with you? How?"
"I gave them the new Poketch, which I added a feature to that can detect wormholes." Dash explained, "I am able to call them via that."
"What about tracking them?" I asked, "Surely if it's a special model, you have it low-jacked or something?"
"I did..."
"They removed the trackers?" I asked.
"No not that." Dash explained, "You gotta remember, I am a businessman and gotta protect my products. If I use some sort of login based tracking, it means that it can be hacked, and if I have prototypes out there, my competitors finding them and getting their hands on them is bad business. So anything of value can only be tracked by one device. In the case of these prototypes, that device was a tablet that was stored in that safe."
Dash gestured to a nearby safe that had been blown open by what I could guess was Winter Brettles cannon arm.
"So you mean to tell me, a psychopath with a weapon of mass destruction is out to kill my daughter, and now has means to track her when you can't?" I asked, as my fists clenched. This was not good, "Can you still call her?"
"I tried, not long before you got here. They are out of range, which makes me think they're in a cave." Dash explained, "Either Ravaged Path to the north, or possibly Mt. Coronet to the East."
"How long are they gonna be in there?" I asked angrily.
"It could be a few hours, it may be days. It's hard to say. There is something else." Dash explained, "Whilst I can't track the watches by conventional means, the tablet can be. DL?"
On the screen appeared a map, showing where we were and another location, Hearthome City.
"That's where he is." Dash explained, before pointing to a lake on the Eastern side of Sinnoh, "And that's where Sophie and the others are heading."
Dash pressed a button on his wrist computer, causing a file with a picture of Sophie and one of a somewhat older, redheaded (not strawberry-blonde) girl on the monitor next door.
"These are their trainer cards, which I told them to destroy. Sophie's has checked in at Jubilife, then Orebourgh, however the attack on them happened after this, on Route 203, seemingly heading back to Jubilife. Amy checked in at Jubilife, but Sophie didn't. It could be that they were trying to not draw attention to themselves, and only had a few people check in, or they may have split up, but I doubt they have." Dash explained, "Basically, I can't say if they went North or East. It is equally likely that they went one way or the other."
"I only see one option then, and I think you see it as well." I muttered.
If Winter Brettles were going after Sophie and her team, and there is a 50/50 chance she has gone north or east, the safest option is to go after and take down Winter Brettles. If they have gone East, he will find them quickly, and this time they may not be lucky enough to get away like they did. If they have gone north, then I take down Winter Brettles, take the tablet and find them. Otherwise, if I head north and they have gone east, they are as good as dead.
"You're going after him?" Dash asked.
"If I go north and they have gone East, they are as good as dead." I explained, "My best option is to take him down first, and try and find Sophie after. Which means I need to go now."
"Wait." Dash said, before gesturing to the sword, "Give me that."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because that isn't going to do anything against him." Dash replied, "Besides, it has something of mine."
I pulled the blade off my back before handing it to him. Dash took the blade, before picking at the hilt. As he did this I remembered the last time I saw him. The film he gave me that was able to make my sword kill Deoxys.
"I developed this back home using Cipher's technology, but haven't been able to replicate it here." Dash explained, "What it does is sends an electrical frequency through an object and breaks it down to an atomic level. I wasn't expecting to ever see it again."
"So you just wanted your tech back?" I asked irritably.
"This is going to help you." Dash explained, "Since then I have managed to develop something to rebuild something."
Dash took the sword and placed it in a large chamber, before pressing a button, causing a red laser light to scan the sword, as an image of it appeared on the screen, whilst placing the film on a pad to be scanned. Once it was done, Dash unplugged and passed me something that looked similar to a vambrace. On the front was a small button and a light, underneath a touch screen display.
"What's this?" I asked, slipping it onto my wrist. It fit snug, but felt too light.
"It is what is going to help you beat Winter Brettles." Dash explained, "This will allow you to break your sword down into individual atoms, and store them inside it, then reform it back as a sword, or possibly as something else if you design it properly. You know, stop you from getting charged on weapon offenses."
"How does it work? That seems like it would take a lot of power, and this seems to light to have a good battery in it." I commented.
"You're the battery."
"Wait, what?"
Dash grinned.
"You never asked how I knew you and Sophie arrived in this world." Dash explained.
"I have a bit going on, but humor me. How did you find us?"
"Arceus intervened when we died, and that had lasting effects." Dash said, before pressing a button. The monitor changed to security camera footage, appearing to be live, of the pair of us, however it seemed to show a white aura swirling inside of the pair of us.
"Part of Arceus now lives in us. My guess is all the others that Arceus did this to have the same thing." Dash explained, before pressing another button, showing security footage of Sophie and the others, through the same camera. The others appeared normal, but Sophie had a similar aura to Dash and myself, but somewhat smaller.
"And because she is your daughter, Sophie has a small part of that as well." Dash explained, "And that part is what is going to power the device."
Dash placed his hand on the vambrace, as it lit up, coming to life.
"Basically, once you learn how to harness this energy, you can use it to trigger the atomic breakdown." Dash explained, before pressing a button. The screen changed to look like an ECG, and began to vibrate in time with the beats, which were at a perfect 4/4 rhythm.
"This is a training application." Dash said, "It helped me learn how to trigger it. Just imagine a light in your chest, rushing out your veins to your fingertips. It will take me another hour to get things ready, so you have time to practice."
"And you think this will help me stop Winter Brettles?" I asked.
"It will give you a bit more of an edge and the element of surprise." Dash explained, "I think you could get creative with it."
"Fair enough." I explained, "Keep me posted if you can get in touch with Sophie, and let me know as soon as I am ready to go."
I found somewhere to sit down, and began playing with the practice app.
