"WHAT!?"

Albastru, as they called themselves, petted Clefy gingerly as he eyed Daisy, from whom she had saved from disaster.

"Oh, relax. At least you're not drowning." Daisy grumbled something under her breath before eyeing the blanket that masked most of her identity.

"Girl or boy?"

"Girl." Albastru was enjoying this game. 4th veil to be wrongly opened. She had given her name like she did to the professor, followed up by saying she was a close ally of the Dexters (Wasn't too wrong with that one) and that she had no idea who Red was (No, she saw his panic attack at the league. It was hilarious every time she brought it up with her own bird). How Daisy hadn't caught the lies was beyond her.

"So how do you know Blue?"

"Met her when she passed through Viridian. Helped me catch Cuby." Said Cubone was currently practicing its moves on a nearby tree as Albastru gazed over Clefy.

"So... you're just going after her? It's not that easy!"

"You're right. It's not. But do you have a smarter plan, Miss PC master?" Daisy seemed to fall quiet before Albastru decided to throw a curveball. "Wait... is one of the Dexters afraid of birds? Or am I thinking of a random person I met before?"

"Red's afraid of birds..."

"Oh! That's Red? I didn't know I knew them. Eh." Red was going to kill her for bringing that up. Daisy paused.

"How'd you meet Red?"

"I remember screaming while I was training my flying type." Spearow, who was the cause of the screaming, poked his head up from eating. "Rowy was practicing its Wing Attack when I heard the screaming." Daisy started chuckling.

"Professor Oak gave him a heart attack at the league with the cutey Spearow. If Blue didn't see him fear another bird, I would assume he just didn't like Spearow." Yellow hummed at that.

Agatha attacked, but Red saved them.

"Rai!" Lightning shocked the group of Haunter before the battle turned to the new arrival. Daisy's face lit up.

"Red!" The male Dexter only managed to smile at her before Albastru raced off, leaving Red to take care of Daisy. She had to keep moving.

~~~

"Wait what?!"

Red merely hummed. After defeating Agatha and Lance's back to back attacks, the mischievous male had revealed that it was his plan for 'Albastru' to find Blue. He still wouldn't give the real identity of the girl.

"You're behind this? Why?!" Red hummed again as he eyed his phone, watching and listening to Albastru as she met with the ally gym leaders.

"Albastru is the only one with the strength to fight the Elites to find Blue."

"She's no champion."

"She can gain the power to be one. Hell, she has the power to beat one, maybe more. That's why I chose her. That's why she's doing this. Blue helped her, now she can repay the favor."

"What aren't you telling?"

"That will come in due time. Right now, she has to get there."
