A long time had passed, had it not?
A long time since the whole Cyrus deal, a long time since he'd beaten the gyms, a long time since he'd seen his friends... He wondered how they were doing. Had they gone onto big things? Had Dawn gone onto become the champion, that's what she had set out for right? What about Barry? Were they still just as energetic and did people still owe them... Goodness, how much? He dare not think. Despite their clashing personalities, they seemed to have got along quite well, the memories sure were interesting but unforgettable.
*Goodness, he missed them quite a bit didn't he?..*

Something that the boy never expected was to be invited to some of island, apparently an 'Isle of Aces'? Whatever it was, it mesnt that only strong trainers and the like were allowed there. Apparently he qualified as a strong trainer? He was nothing much, just a professor's assistant and a baker but it would surely be rude of him to decline this flattering offer, so he went.

Now, he was seated in a nice wooden chair with a wooden table infront of him, an open book on the table and a Leafeon on his lap. Smiling to themselves as the grass type purred contently, they flipped the page, placing a bright blue ruler under the line which he was reading. It helped him to focus on what words he was reading, otherwise the sheer amount of letters and words on that whole page sometimes made it hard to focus and even read at all. Which was a shame, he did enjoy reading so much.

```What myths do you hold... Island of Aces?!```

A book could be heard being flipped through each page at a steady pace. Each page and its information was being absorbed by the reader, not leaving out a a single ounce of data. The previous promise to self, a promise which she knew she couldn't keep had been broken already. Not even by a week had passed and the reader was once more buried within a fortress of books, surrounded by words written by philosophers of incredible intelligence. Perhaps the knowledge she was receiving was too recent as this island was nothing but a manmade creation, laid upon an island with a blank history. However, this was the only way she could hold herself busy until another event was to take place, something which would really divide her time.

The book began showing its end as the book became thinner in her right hand, the pages of information flooding into her brain, analysed before stored for another time. There was still nothing of interest but of the interest of reading in hopes to find something fascinating enough which could gift her any leads to myths and legends of the island. Blank... Blank... And blank. The book's final pages had come and the blank end of the book was staring back at her.

The book would slam shut, the sound echoing through the library's walls and into the ears of others. Thankfully, there wasn't anyone during the time she had arrived, but that time had long passed and there was a trainer standing before her. A smile grew on the champion's face as she viewed the familiar trainer, a trainer who she viewed highly and with a lot of potential. It had been way too long since Cynthia had come across Lucas, a trainer whomst she ran into multiple times within Sinnoh and had to thank for during incidents.

"Look what we have here... Lucas~? Is that really you?"
Laura
```Familiar faces, unfamiliar places.```

The ravenette glanced up from his seat at the sound of an all too familiar voice ~~and the sound of a slamming book~~ as he slowly shut his book, letting the blue ruler stick out of it slightly as to preserve the page number.

"If it wasn't me, I'd be rather concerned..*

They chuckled lightly to themselves, their voice as quiet as ever. He may or may not have known it was only the two of them in the library at this time, but even then he was never really the loud type. Oh, and the Leafeon that was residing on his lap might of been woken up if he spoke too loudly.

"Jokes aside, how have you been Miss Cynthia?
*A long time had passed, had it not?"*
Diana
```Still as joyous as ever.```

"If it weren't you, I would be very concerned too."

The champion expected nothing less from the young trainer. After all, this was similar to the first encounter they had before. Lucas' joyous and comedic attitude had brought her a smile, even if they were strangers before. Even now, Lucas would bring a smile to her face as he popped a remark in return to her greeting.

"It has been far too long since our last meeting Lucas. I for one have been keeping myself content with travels and research, although the latter has since been done more..." She guiltily buried head into a solid cover book before bringing herself back out. "Enough about me, how have you been young Lucas? We must catch up~"
