Once the female Lucario has changed into her new pair of clothes she bought, she walked out of the changing room and threw away her old, raggy clothes that she's outgrown (since she was 8) in a garbage can.

Surprisingly, the kimono fitted her very well. And she was able to move around freely in it.

After the female Lucario threw her old pair of clothes (she's outgrown) away, she walked over and then thanked the store clerk.

"Oh, it's no problem! I'm glad I helped you." The store clerk replied.

The female Lucario smiled and before she was about to leave, the store clerk suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped the female Lucario for a moment.

"Before you go, I got a question..." The store clerk began.

"What is it?" The female Lucario asked.

"What's your name? Because I feel like I've seen you around here before...." The store clerk asked.

The female Lucario smiled again.

"My name is Yaruichi...And it's been by 20 years since the last time I visited here..." She said.

The store clerk suddenly felt shocked as she looked at Yaruichi.

"I remember now! You were with a priestess when you were young! I knew you looked familiar..." The store clerk mentioned. "You've gotten so big and really pretty since the last time I met you..."

Yaruichi chuckled a little.

"Thanks." Yaruichi replied.

"Well, it's a pleasure seeing you..." The store clerk said as she letted go of Yaruichi's arm.

"It's a pleasure seeing you too...I'll be on my way now..." Yaruichi said as she started to leave.

"Bye..." The store clerk replied after Yaruichi exited the store.

Once Yaruichi left, the store clerk suddenly thinks to herself:

"I thought she died from an accident 20 years ago...."

-    -    -

After Yaruichi went in a restaurant and ate something, she left Muku Village and headed her way to Noe Town.

"You better look out and prepare yourself, Lukari...Because you're going to die in my paws when I find you!" Yaruichi thought to herself.

Then she smirked and started laughing to herself as she continued walking.

While Yaruichi continued on her way, eventually, she started to feel a bit exhausted and decided to get some rest in a small hotel in a nearby village up ahead.

Lucky for Yaruichi, she didn't need to spend any money to stay in a hotel room to get some rest for the night.

It was free.

"Your room number is 372." The Ninetails said as he handed Yaruichi the keys to her room that she'll be staying in for the night.

"Thank you..." Yaruichi replied as she took the keys and headed to her room.

After Yaruichi left, the Ninetails started scratching his head in confusion as he thinks to himself:

"Why's Yaruichi here? And where was she the past 20 years ago? I coulda sworn she was dead...If she did die, then how in the hell is she still alive today???"

-    -    -

After Yaruichi was in her room, she took her kimono off and went to take a shower.

As she was in the shower with the water running, Yaruichi looked over at the water (that was being drained) and noticed how really dirty she is, ever since when she was resurrected and stuck inside that place for most of her life until now.

"It's been a long time since the day I died before I was resurrected...." Yaruichi thought to herself while she was washing her hair. "I've already noticed that a lot of things and other pokémon that I know have changed the past 20 years...."

While Yaruichi was thinking about how so many things have changed, she suddenly felt a tiny bit heart-broken.

The main reason why was because Yaruichi remembered her lover, Kakashi.

He was such a cutie for a guy like him.

But, by now, he probably could have forgotten all about Yaruichi and fell in love with another girl before marrying her.

Which is why she felt a little bit heart-broken.

As Yaruichi continued thinking about that, she felt tears run down the sides of her face when she was finished bathing herself and got all of the soap suds off of her.

She sniffed a little before wiping her eyes once she dried herself off with the towel and putting her kimono back on.

Eventually, Yaruichi cried herself to sleep as she felt her emotions overwhelm her.
