Summary:

This part of TRLT actually takes place a good while after the current plot of the story (which as I write this is about halfway into chapter 9) and I was struck with the inspiration to do this despite being so far removed from where I was at. Because it is so far in the future of TRLT, there are necessarily a few minor (and a few major) spoilers, so if you can't live with that then perhaps you ought to look away. I try my best to avoid spoiling anything too big however, so you won't have to worry about finding out anything too major to the plot.

Once things finally settle down after the whirlwind adventure that sent Will, Tenrou, Sanakou, and Axl to the farthest corners of the earth and beyond, the four of them decide to go their separate ways for a while and take a break from the action and excitement. Will and Mayumi decide to take a close-to-home vacation and tour the Sinnoh region. As their trip comes to a close, a chance encounter with an odd stranger leads them to a hidden mansion in the forest where they meet a few unforgettable characters...

Summary:

After getting caught up in the incident at the windworks, Axl is haunted by the ghosts of a past he tried to forget while the others attempt to help him in any way they can. Shortly after leaving the windworks however, a familiar adversary draws them across continents in an attempt to discover what is really going on behind a string of purportedly unrelated conflicts cropping up across the globe.

Summary:

Meet Will and his friends, Tenrou, Sanakou, and Axl. They're your (mostly) typical bunch of trainers who are getting set to head out together for the rite of passage that is a pokémon trainer's journey to collect the eight gym badges of their home region. Although they're a good bit older than most "beginning" trainers, they still have much to learn. Their plans are cut short however, when something goes awry that quickly sucks the whole group into the center of a conflict nearly a decade in the making.
