"I was mere inches away from her, and the next thing I know she's falling through the water and her opponent's lying in a pool of her own blood." Yolei shivered and held her arm where Aerie grabbed her earlier. In an attempt to comfort her, Tetsuo put an arm around her shoulders. "It's okay now," Tetsuo said. "Trent's been locked up and Karen's in the hospital. Aerie... they haven't found her body yet, but maybe she survived somehow." "Yolei!" Lynkeru said as she dropped down seemingly from nowhere and dropped an unconsious Bob to the floor. "I... What happened?" "One of the other contestants shot Aerie and her opponent right in front of Yolei," Tetsuo explained. "Wow," Lynkeru said. "This sport's more competitive than I thought." "I think he might've been after the Unowns," Yolei said. "He shot her just after I asked about them. If people like that are after the Shiny Unown, I don't know if I can handle it." "Listen, that's what I've come here to talk to you about," Lynkeru said. "I found Mimic." "What?" Yolei responded. "Or rather, Bob did," Lynkeru explained, gesturing to the half-Chikorita human lying next to her. "I secretly followed him to the rental center. He met Mimic there and... Mimic's under control of the Shiny Unown, and they're looking for Aerie. Mimic's trying to fight them, but unless he can keep them with him they might try to find someone with weaker will." "Then what?" Yolei asked. "Then..." Lynkeru trailed off, indicating yet again the breeder who is now being taken to the examination room by Nurse Joy and a Chansey. Yolei stared off into space silently for a moment. She was at a loss for what to do. Homicidal maniacs were after the Unown, which will undoubtably drive them to act even more like homicidal maniacs. It was too much to think about. "Look," Lynkeru said after a moment. "I don't know if I should be carrying all the Unown anymore. Maybe..." Yolei got up and walked quickly out of the center. "Hey, where are you going?" Lynkeru asked. "I need to do some training," Yolei snapped. "If you want to get some more of those Unown, try to find Aerie's body in or around the stadium's water." Lynkeru watched Yolei walk away before saying to Tetsuo, "They haven't found her body yet?" "Her body fell into the pool," Tetsuo explained. "I think they might still be looking for it." "Correct me if I'm wrong," Lynkeru said, "But don't dead bodies float? They wouldn't have to look too hard, would they?"
