Eight o’clock in the morning. Way too early for the dedicated working man, way too early for children being sent away to school by their parents, and way, way too early for Nico to be hauled away to the supermarket by his own one. Don’t get him wrong, his mother was one of the only people in existence he loved and respected with all of his heart, but clearly, he didn’t do so enough to put up with missing those extra hours of sleep she took him away from. And, it wasn’t a secret, either. Every time the woman turned and examined a shelf to pick up something she’d written on her shopping list, Nico would find the nearest flat surface (a bin full of cans, another shelf, the cart’s handle) and sneak in a minute for closing his eyes, only for each attempt to have the same ending: “Nikolas,” Liliana’s stern tone alerted him, one finger pushing his forehead up until he wasn’t leaning on the cart anymore. “Sleep when I’m dead, or when you’re in bed.” “Well, I was doing the second one, until

The best thing to follow a long, arduous winter full of snow, cold, and a malevolent young spirit long overdue for a peaceful afterlife after haunting Kanto and Johto for far too long was the warm sunny days of springtime. More opportunities outside, less hazards to follow, and the best time to really enjoy the beauty of nature coming out of a three months’ rest. For Ritsu, this also apparently warranted a trip to Goldenrod City’s aptly named Golden Afternoon Flower Shop, not for herself, but for a bag of mulch going straight to a one Bethanie O’Malley. Let that be known to be the last time Ritsu provide her own mother with information on where to get goods for her garden, as telling one mom means as many as possible find out three seconds later. That aside, she still flew all the way to Goldenrod out of the goodness of her heart to retrieve a simple bag of mulch— no sense for a middle-aged woman to venture out into the world with no Pokémon to protect her while Ethan was unavailable

Chapter 19: Twists, Problems and Doubts   Forest Doe had gone to investigate a scream she had heard, leaving Chat Noir and Louve Grise to go after Queen Bee, who decided to announce herself to Hawk Moth, who was inside city hall. Hanging from the building’s ledge, she looked for a way in, and she found one. An open window granted her access, and once inside, she began to look for the person who had screamed. “Where could it have come from? I don’t see anyone in this apartment.” -Forest Doe thought to herself, as she walked through the various rooms. –“Should I call the person out? Or should I keep quiet, in case those creatures are around? What to do? What to do?” -she wondered.   It was a difficult choice. On one hand, if she called the person out, it would be easier for her to know where to do. But on the other, if there were Jackal-like creatures in that floor, yelling a single syllable would put a target on her back. So, the deer heroine decided to keep silent, as she continued

Chapter 17: To Battle   From the top of the buildings surrounding the Place de la Bastille, one could see that what was happening there, was also happening everywhere. Ammit’s army, under the control of Hawk Moth, kept making new victims, turning every single person, they saw into stone, while also stealing their hearts. At first, they only attacked those that were on the street. But this quickly changed, when they began to go inside the buildings, looking for more victims. In the air, the cries and screams for help mixed with the whistling sound made by Ammit’s army of Jackal-like creatures, as they moved from prey to prey.   But that was far from being the only thing that was bothering Arachnid at that moment. Just like the rest of the heroes, his kwami had received Tikki’s warning to gather on top of one of the buildings at the Place de la Bastille, after narrowly escaping the Jackal-like creatures that appeared at Marinette’s birthday party. And as he made his way there, and asked
