Neith heard the older man that had saved them introduce himself as Professor Rowan. He offered to take them to the next town over. Neith was hesitant. Getting in a stranger’s van was just asking for trouble. But the girl who had saved her was confident, and Neith didn’t want to leave her, so reluctantly got in with the others.

At the lab Neith listened to Rowan’s explanation on what he thought was going on. Neith had read about the multiple worlds theory, so it could be plausible. But then why her?

Eventually, Rowan began one on one talks with the rest of the group. Neith sat in the corner, still trying to wrap her head around it all. She was not only in Sinnoh, but not the same Sinnoh from her world, but another one entirely. She barely noticed when it was her turn.


"So, you seemed a little out of your depth back at the lake. Not to say you didn't do a good job, but more so to say that you didn't seem overly prepared for what happened? What made you go to the lake, if it was out of your comfort zone?"

"Well, you see, I didn't actually intend to go there.” Neith looked aside sheepishly. “I was just asking the others directions, and got distracted by their Pokemon, then lost track of where I was going. Before I knew it I was there."

Rowan chuckled at that, and Neith found herself feeling a little more relaxed. At least it didn’t appear she was in trouble.

"So what's your name, trainer?"
"My name's Neith. Neith Nimr."

"Nice to meet you Neith. So you mentioned you didn't intend to go to the lake, but kinda got swept in with it all. In that case, how do you feel about everything I just told you?"

Neith paused for a moment before answering. "To be honest, totally overwhelmed. I still don't totally believe that I'm in another world. And I don't want to be a hero or anything.” Neith sagged as she thought about how badly her fist pokemon battle had gone. “If I was brought here to help the legendary Pokemon, I think they made the wrong choice..."

"What makes you say that you're the wrong choice?"

Neith stared down at her hands. "All I can do is care for Pokemon and work computers. I can barely hold my own in a Pokemon battle, and after what happened with the man at the lake... If that girl hadn't been there to save me, I don't know what would have happened." Neith’s voice caught as she remembered the sight of the grunt lying in a pool of blood.

"I understand, but what I think is this. Nobody returns home after a journey such as this, being the same person they were when the left. Maybe, whoever it was that decided you were to be one of the people do undertake this task, didn't see who you are, but saw who you could be?"

"Maybe... I don't think I could ever be a hero though, but I guess I'll have to try my best not to let them down.” Neith sighed. “If this really is another world, I doubt they'll just let me decline and go home."

"That is also true. Regardless, you won't be doing this alone. Even without Pokemon, you will be working with a team of people all in the same situation. You will have your weaknesses, but you will be able to cover them with your strengths. What do you think it means to be a hero?"

"A hero...?” Neith thought for a moment. “I guess I see it as being brave and strong, and using that strength to protect those who who are weaker, without regard for themselves." Like all the others at the lake. While I just tried to run away.

"I heard it said that a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. Do you think you could do that? That you could persevere?"

"An ordinary... I don't know. I mean, I know I'd do anything to protect Bi and Fennel...” Neith shook her head. “I'd like to believe that I can, but I won't know for sure until the moment comes."

"At least give yourself the chance to. I have to talk to the others, but take some time to think about which Pokemon you would like, and let me know once I have spoken to the others"

Neith returned to the waiting room, head spinning. The legends chose her because of who she would become? She shook her head again to try and clear it. She needed to focus on the here and now. And the now was deciding which of these pokemon to pick…
