Where do I begin?
 
Since my last entry, many things have taken place. Allow me to summarize:
 
After the Blinding had taken place, Koji, Jasper, Leo, Frank, and I found a few Pokémon living in the now-abandoned arena. Koji successfully caught a Bisharp, and we all decided we would make our way back to the inn we previously stayed in. Soon we find out that the inn we had stayed in for the tournament had been turned into a base of operations for a tribe of unfortunate people who lived throughout the aftermath of the Blinding. We spent a long time at the inn, helping gather supplies and earning the trust of Phineas, the self-proclaimed leader of the Sleepy Snorlax Tribe. Ava, Phineas' sister, took great care of us while we stayed at the Inn. It took an intense and emotional battle to do so. We also learned more about how Ultra Beasts are just like humans and Pokémon; Everyone has their own thoughts and emotions. The professor's assistant came to give us more info about the Blinding and its origin, a being called Necrozma. We later learn that Necrozma has eaten 1% of the stars in the sky. Ava helped us gear up before we left the inn, and wanted to join us on our journey to prevent Necrozma from consuming more light. We accepted knowing full well we need all the help we can get.
 
After leaving the Sleepy Snorlax, we encountered this suspicious man wearing a mask. He seemed inhuman almost, speaking in such robotic ways and mannerisms. The party decided to ambush him and obtained minimal info on the Ultra Beasts before he escaped. We would later travel blindly, getting sucked into a portal to this abandoned library within a pocket dimension. I befriended a Honedge and named it Cali, and Koji caught a Yamask, giving the small spirit the name Ana. We learned a vast amount of knowledge and saved a Magearna named Solar, the attendant to the library. It, unfortunately, had to do its job, even after the passing of its creator and its "sister," the creator's daughter. Layla, a girl we met at the Sleepy Snorlax, joined us at the library. It wished for freedom due to its heavy loss, but we helped heal its heart. We made sure it could communicate with us via my Rotom Phone.
 
After our time there, an Ultra Wormhole (as Frank calls it) opened once more and separated the group into different places. When we landed in the unknown location, I almost died by falling off a mountain with poorly timed rappelling. Luckily Layla caught me with her astounding telekinetic powers. Though it seems we got transported to the Distortion World, the realm of the Legendary Giratina. We witnessed the fall of Arceus, the Original One, the event rendering Layla comatose from the trauma of the event. We were stuck, seeing the exit portal far above the area where we had landed. After being stuck there for a few days, Jasper and Ava found a way to save us. While attempting to leave, Giratina appeared once more to disrupt this. Layla prevented this by sacrificing herself. She did this not only to help us flee but to save my Applin named Chapplin as well. We assumed the worst with portal closing and showing no signs of coming back.
 
Ava, Jasper and I found ourselves flung into Allegro, a moderately sized coastal town. We attempted to shop for some supplies, to no avail. Jasper did obtain a Charizard that was very rare in color. All thanks to an appraiser who analyzed the Iron Plate I unearthed before going to the Athenaeum. I attempted to gain a vision with my newfound powers, and ending up making a deal with a man in the mindscape of the Iron Plate where I would attempt to gather the Plates to free him from the mental prison. After a few days, we reconvened with Koji and Frank. Layla seemed to have not perished! She had been spewed from a portal much like the one we had escaped through prior to staying at the hotel we're in currently. Chapplin is alive too, and seems to have stepped up to protect Layla, as it had evolved into an Appletun in the time we were separated. Welcome home buddy.
