I flew as fast as I could and it took several hours. When I finally managed to arrive, I saw the burrow. I saw my sister sitting in the grass with a crown made of leaves and flowers, and my mother was lying in the grass while Swadloon made a similar crown for her.

I ignored what they were doing and flew to where they all were. When I landed, I returned to my original form.

I shouted, "Mom! I met a human woman accompanied by a very powerful Pokémon..." I was quite agitated before I could finish explaining the situation.

I could see that my mother, who was relaxed while lying on the ground, instantly held me in her hands. "Lopu-Lopunny! (Were you attacked? Did they try to throw a strange ball at you?)" she asked very quickly, and I could see how concerned she was as she kept checking for injuries on my body and removing the mud that still clung to me.

"No, just that the Pokémon hit me with its paw before dragging me to the human woman, but..." Before I had time to explain the situation, she interrupted me and asked, "Lopu-Lopunny (Where are they?)" with a very serious expression, and she seemed quite angry at the same time.

"Bune-Buneary! (Brother, did the human woman hurt you?)" I could see that my sister was also very upset by what I said, and Swadloon, who was watching us, but they aren't letting me finish explaining.

"Mom, calm down, I'm fine. Just let me explain what happened." I saw how my mother began to calm down a bit and was no longer as agitated, finally letting me down.

"Lopu-Lopunny (Alright, tell me what happened)." I finally had the opportunity to finish speaking.

"A human woman accompanied by a gray and black Pokémon found me while I observed them from afar, and the Pokémon attacked me using one of its paws. The Pokémon said it smelled like you, and the human woman called you Tifa and said her name was Liza." My mother's expression changed from being somewhat angry to one of surprise as she listened to me.

"Mom, do you know her?" I was curious about the relationship they had, and I saw how my mother looked a bit downcast when she heard my question.

"She's my trainer. I fled from her before you were born, or instead of fleeing, it would be better to say that I escaped to spend time with both of you and avoid my responsibilities." She said with a sad face, looking between my sister and me.

"I think it's time for you to meet her. She's a very special person to me." That's what she said with a melancholic voice.

The situation doesn't seem as serious as I thought. I thought it was much more dramatic, and we would have to flee from the forest.

She lifted me again with her thin hands and said with a soft voice, "Guide me to where she is." Hearing her, I got a little nervous because I didn't remember the specific route since I took detours on my way back, and before meeting that woman, I just explored from one side to another looking for prey.

I could only point to the nearest location I remembered, and suddenly my mother hugged me to her chest with both hands, and before I could ask about her sudden behavior, she said, "Lopu-Lopunny (Wait for our return, we'll be back later, so don't stray from the burrow)." "Bune-Buneary, Swadloon (Alright)," both responded at the same time, and my mother's next words gave me a bad feeling, "Lopu-Lopunny (Zorua, close your mouth and don't open it until we get back)." I listened and closed my mouth.

Suddenly, I felt my mother slightly open her legs and lean forward a bit, and the bad feeling I had each time became stronger, and I wasn't wrong because when my mother took the first step, I started to feel a great pressure from the wind covering my whole body. It was much stronger than when I flew through the sky and much larger than when my old sister rode the motorcycle at the maximum speed she could.

The worst part is that every second that passed, the wind pressure became stronger, to the point where I couldn't move my head, which remained glued to my mother's chest due to the intense inertia. The only visible thing in my field of vision was the trees, but they were completely blurry. The speed was such that it made the trees look more like a green and brown blur, merging into a blurry and confusing landscape as we advanced.

How can she move so fast? She can even make turns and zigzags with the trees in the middle, avoiding all the obstacles she encounters. I think I might faint at any moment, but the only good thing is that after a few minutes, I could feel my mother's speed decreasing, but she suddenly jumped, and I heard a loud noise before my mother stopped completely, and I saw the woman. My mother let me down, but I moved away a bit because I couldn't hold back my urge to vomit.

Blehhhhhhhh!

When I finally finished vomiting, I looked in the direction of my mother, who was staring at the woman, and looked around only to see the dog buried in the ground. Is it dead?

I ignored the dog and saw tears starting to fall from the woman next to Kirlia.

Suddenly, the woman started to approach my mother slowly, and when she reached her, she had to bend down a bit to be able to hug her due to the height difference.

"Idiot! Do you know how much... sniff... I worried when... sniff... you disappeared?" Those were the words the woman said while hugging my mother, and my mother hugged her and tried to calm her down, saying, "Lopu-Lopunny (I'm sorry, it was very selfish of me to disappear suddenly)."

While I was observing the situation, Kirlia walked towards me and spoke to me telepathically.

(Has Tifa not told you about her life before you were born?)

"No," I replied dryly. So far, mom had never told us about her past. I don't have much curiosity to insist and bother her until she tells us about it. After all, each person can tell about their past to someone else when they want.

(That's quite curious). I don't understand why Kirlia is telling me these things.

"By the way, can you read my mind without needing my permission or something?" Depending on her answer, I'll have to decide whether to stay completely away from psychic Pokémon.

(No, I can only send my thoughts, and I can only receive them if I establish a mental connection with someone, and at the moment, I established a connection between Tifa and Liza).

Well, that's quite interesting. "But if you could read my thoughts before." She shook her head in denial of what I said.

(What I heard is what you transmitted. You have telepathy, only you can't control it, and you transmit some of your thoughts very lightly that only Pokémon or humans who can use telepathy could hear them). That explains the previous situation, but I can't just believe what she's telling me.

I watched as my mother separated from the woman and approached us. "Lupo-Luponny (It's time to leave this forest and tell you about myself to your sister and you)." I think now I am curious about her past.

I saw the woman take out two Poké Balls that she used to put the dog and Kirlia in. After she stored them, she took out a Super Ball that contained a bird Pokémon with dark and light gray feathers, except for the lower half of its body, which was brown, and its legs were a light gray.

"Kela, can you take me while chasing Tifa?"

"Unfe-Unfezant! (Of course)" I had a bad feeling when I felt my mother starting to carry me in her arms.

"Lupo-Luponny (We will go meet with your sister.)." My body started shaking with just the idea of having to go through that again.

"Mom, I think..." Before I could finish, I felt the wind enveloping me as my mother started to run.
