Unfortunately, we weren't going to figure out the real reasons why the Mamoswine attacked. Not until it woke up and right now, I didn't think we were going to be around for that. But for now, while the powder kept it asleep, they were going to apply additional sedatives to make sure this Mamoswine wasn't waking up until it was probably in a maximum security cage that could hold just about anything. So in other words, a huge, government underground vault that only certain people had access to. And I could so easily bet I wasn't on that list.

"So what now?" Blitz the Emolga asked me, shrugging with a disappointed look in his eyes.

"Still need to find that Ninetales, but she can be anywhere," I sighed. "Oh yeah, and I need something to bargain with. Heck, I could find her a million times but it means nothing if I don't have something she wants."

"Heh, yeah, she'll just tell you to buzz off and enjoy your curse!" Blitz chuckled. "So, any ideas about what she might want?"

Something valuable enough to undo a 1,000 year curse? Beats me. I had no idea what she wanted. And if I tried asking her, I highly doubted she would cooperate. There was only one thing that came to mind.

"I think the only thing she'd be interested in is a rift to head back to where she came from," I told Blitz.

"Yeah, but... you don't have that!" Blitz countered, looking surprised I would even mention that. "No one has that. You might as well suggest giving her a magical lamp with a genie that grants wishes."

He had a point. The only other ideas I had were kind of evil and involved trapping her, blackmailing her, and doing all kinds of other grizzly stuff to fork over a way to get this undone. Nah, I wasn't the type to do that, but that did put me in a tight spot with trying to come up with appeasement ideas.

And then I thought in another way. Maybe if I couldn't send her home, build a home for her right here. I mean, I had the finances for it. Well, all that was earned when I was still human, but I could use that money and make something nice for her. Exactly how she wanted it and where. Maybe that could get this mess undone. I just had to find her now and ask what her dream home would be and if that was enough to get this curse undone.

Or, well, the other option was to just get used to being a Ninetales from now on. I mean really, if this was my life now, it actually wasn't all THAT bad. But, I preferred not getting too used to it.
