Ethan blinked at the 'big brother' part before he thought about what else was mentioned, "Great mystic kitty? You mean Mew?"

Kaze folded her arms as she glanced towards the woods before returning her gaze to the older man, "Yes... I feel something will happen soon..." She just didn't know what.

The dark haired girl followed him, a shivering running down her spine as the elevator rumbled and slowly started heading down.

"I promise, now off you go." She ushered him towards the village before perking as she heard her name.

He shook his head, shoulders shaking, "No... they keep telling me that you never existed..." He sobbed softly. "It hurt... it hurt so much... but I knew they were wrong!"

A battle cry escaped the female before she lunged at the first beast, swiping her weapon at its head. She didn't give it time to strike back as she went on the assault. Once it was down and out, she turned her attention to the other monsters. --- As soon as the monsters were disposed off, Kaze turned her attention to the cage and broke it open, sighing in relief as she could see no injuries on the child or animal.

Jolting faintly at his voice, Kaze turned to him partly surprised he spoke and partly a mix of annoyance and amusement, "Thank you, Link. I would have never guessed." She teased him.

"...I had hoped so too..." A jolt ran through him before he hugged him tightly, "But I can understand you!" Tears were starting to spill down his face.

"I do not care for poes." Kaze looked annoyed. "In any case... I'm curious to where that elevator will take us..."

"Silver..." He couldn't understand a word he said, but that smile... that expression... was so painfully familiar. That advertisement gave him a ridiculous idea but here went nothing. Swallowing his nerves, he gave the other a kiss. And that was when Cynder covered the younger Totodile's eyes.

Kaze smiled gratefully, "Thank you, sir!" Knowing she'd have to leave Epona behind for now as she saw Talo's toy sword at the entrance , the dark hair girl lightly patted her neck before hurrying through the cave. "Agh... that guy wasn't kidding, it's dark as night in here!" Thankfully the lantern lit up more than enough for her to see and hurry through. -a little fast forward- After making her way out of the cave and farther along. Kaze found herself running across monsters. Gritting her teeth, she dodged their attacks only to counter with her own. A faint cry for help made her freeze before running faster.

'Clever...' Kaze smiled faintly before focusing. Once she noticed the extra movement, she stabbed the original causing her to once more reel away from them.

Sitting down on the bed, Ethan sighed deeply, "Man... I shouldn't feel this awkward... But..." He trailed off and looked at the water type. "It was only for a second... but your eyes... they were the same as his... as... Silver's...?" Cynder jolted, "Ah..."

"It looks like he's heading to the center..." The fire starter replied. "Why though, I have no idea." Entering the center, Ethan quietly requested a room and when given the key, smiled faintly and headed away. Entering the room with the pokemon, he shut the door and locked it for good measure. This was going to be embarrassing enough without any chance of someone opening the door. 'This is stupid... but... maybe... it's not the first time weird things have happened.'

"Oh this is fantastic..." Kaze muttered, staring at the copies twirling around them, all cackling. "How do we tell which one is the real one?"

He jolted faintly as he saw the flash, 'No... it can't be...' He yiped in surprise at the sudden broadcast and glared at the screen. "..." Tightening his hold slightly, he started walking to the pokemon center. If he wanted to test this slowly forming theory/hope, he wanted to do it somewhere private.

Kaze smiled faintly at him before turning her attention to the poe. 'She's going down.'

"Wait, kids!" Kaze called out to them. "Oh this is not good..." She ran over to Epona and climbed onto her, "Let's go girl, we've got to get them before they get too far into the woods!" The mare whinnied before they headed after the children.

Unfortunately Ethan didn't understand a word he said. "I don't know why... but you're just so... familiar to me..." A sad smile crossed his face, "You remind me of him... so much."

'Oh great... a maze. This is going to be a-maze-ing'

"Alright, alright!" Kaze laughed before she withdrew the weapon and started to perform the attacks that had been "requested".

"Of course, thank you." The dark haired trainer smiled faintly. "Take care of yourself!" The shiny pokemon called back, smiling.

Passing the children, Kaze hurried into her house to find a chest. Opening it up, her eyes widened as she pulled out the wooden weapon, "Oh wow...!" Smiling faintly, she strapped it onto her back before heading back out, knowing the kids would be overwhelmed with curiosity if she didn't go and show them.

"Well... let's keep moving."

"Well... this isn't good." Cynder frowned. "Ethan's been falling apart without you... but he doesn't recognize you like this." Said trainer was now watching the conversation between the two pokemon.
