"Wow... Lana is Sailor Mercury. I can't believe it!" I say to my new pet Meowstick, Luna. It's all thanks to her that I'm not just Lillie Aether, a fourteen-year old girl, but also the guardian of love and justice, Sailor Moon! I work with Sailor Mercury, who is also the Trial Captain Lana!

"Yup. And you have more allies to find," Luna agreed.

"I wonder who my next ally is. Maybe it's Sailor V herself!" I jumped in excitement.

"Brother!" I call. "I'm home!!!" Lately, my brother, Gladion, has been working on something in the basement. I wonder what it is...

"Lillie," he begins, coming up the stairs. "Have you seen my screwdriver?" Luna goes who knows where, and returns with Gladion's screwdriver.

"Who are you?" he asks the cat in kinda a sweet tone.

"This is Luna," I answered. Gladion nodded and went back downstairs. Then, I turned to Luna. "What were you DOING with Gladion's screwdriver?!"

"Umm... Meow?" Luna replied.

"LUUUNNNAAA, TELL ME!!!"

Luna finally spilled, and apparently, she made communicators for Mercury and I. Sweet!"

"Did you hear about the ghost girl?" Sophocles asked Hapu and I the next day. He likes to spread rumors and stretch the truth a bit.

"Ghost girl?" Hapu asked back.

"Yeah. She goes to that small private school in Tapu Village. They say that she doesn't talk outside of class and spends her day with ghosts!" I'm trying really hard NOT to scream, Sophocles!

"P...please stop, Sophocles... I can't take much more..." I told him.

"And," he continued, not heeding my warning. "They say she and her Ghastly friends haunt the old Thrifty!" I can't take it anymore! I screamed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I knew it!" I exclaimed.

"Knew what?" Luna asked me. We were in the library in my house, and I finally figured it out!

"Apparently, the old Thrifty was renovated into a Trial Site!"

"Oh no. Don't you thi-"

"Let's go see, Luna!!!"

"Nooo!!!!"

"Well you better be grateful that I haven't caught you yet, so you don't have to fight the Totem! Now c'mon!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we reached the Trial site, we heard a scream. I was about to transform when I saw a couple of trainers run out, terrified.

"YOU and your FREAKS need to stay away from us!" one yelled into the open store. Then, the trainers ran right past us! But what were the freaks, as they called it? Were they the Pokémon? As I got closer, I saw a girl about my age sobbing close to the entrance. Her clothes were not very decent and looked like a patchwork quilt. She was pretty, though. She must be the captain. She must be the ghost girl! Was she sad that people hate ghost types? If a ghost type went through me, I would scream and run. Can't help it though. I decided to go up and talk to her.

"Is everything okay?" I asked her.

"N...no one likes Mimikyu, n...no one likes ghost types, n-NO ONE LIKES MY FAMILY!!! THEY ALL THINK I'M WEIRD AND FREAKY!!!" More tears poured out the poor girl's eyes. I have to do something!

"I'll take on your trial... If you want, of course," I told her.

"Y-you will?"

"Yeah! I love ghost types!!!"

"Th-thank you..."

"Lillie. My name is Lillie."

"I'm A-acerola..."

"Nice to meet you!"

"Y-you too..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I barely made it! That was one hard trial!

"Nice job making it through! I am proud to award you the Ghostium Z!"

"Yay!"

"But first..."

"Huh?"

"You DID take a picture of the Totem, right?"

"Yeah. Here it is."

While she was looking through my photo album, I felt a vibration in the ground. But I didn't see anything!

"Did you feel that?" I asked her.

"Feel what?" she simply asked back.

"That movement in the Earth. It's as if there was an earthquake for a couple of seconds!"

"I didn't feel anything." That's so weird. How could I feel it but she didn't?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Acerola's P.O.V.

I'm so happy someone appreciates ghost types. I hope I see Lillie again sometime. We could talk some more and probably become great friends!

I was walking around in the abandoned Thrifty Market when all of a sudden, the ground shook. It was just like Lillie had said! But then the ground caved in! I screamed as I fell, and I have no clue as to why the ground split right underneath me! I spy Mimikyu next to me. I hug it tight. What are we going to do?

Lillie's P.O.V.

Acerola seemed really nice. I think we can become great friends! As I was walking out from the Pokémon Center, I felt the ground shake again, and I heard a scream. Acerola!!! I run to the abandoned Thrifty Market and I saw the ground had caved in at a certain place! I stepped close to the hole, but carefully so as to not damage it any further. But I failed. I went so close to the edge that the piece I was standing on broke off and I fell in! Luna jumped in after me, of course. I knew now was the time to transform.

"Moon Prism Power, Make Up!" I yelled as I fell. When I reached the ground, I landed as Sailor Moon! I see a monster up ahead, and Acerola, too! She was on the ground next to her Mimikyu, and it looked as if she were searching for a rock to throw at the monster. And that gave me an idea. I grabbed a rock that was next to me and threw it with all my might! It hit the monster hard. It turned to look at me.

"W-h-O-a-R-e-Y-o-U-?" it asked in it's disturbingly creepy voice.

"I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for love and for justice. I am Sailor Moon! And now, in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

"I'll contact Mercury!" Luna yells.

Luna's P.O.V.

After I contacted Lana, I noticed Acerola was preparing to throw a rather large stone at the monster. Oh no. If she inserts herself, she WILL get hurt. Or...

She threw the rock with all her might. It seemed to hit the monster right in the head. By the time the monster turned to attack her, she was already getting another rock. She stood back up and instantly shot 10 rocks. While she was shooting, I could've sworn I saw a symbol on her forehead. I knew it!

"Acerola, catch!" I yelled, throwing a transformation pen to her. She caught it and I told her what to say. And she transformed!

Lillie's P.O.V.

Mercury and I got blasted for the umpteenth time. I can't take it anymore! This monster is so annoying!!!!!

Just as it was about to blast us again, a ball of fire shot it! I looked to the scource of the attack and saw another Sailor Guardian!

"I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for love and for passion. I am Sailor Mars!" she yelled. "Now, Sailor Moon! Finish this!" Right!

"Use this, Sailor Moon!" Luna yelled, throwing this... stick... thing...

"What is this?"

"It's the Moon Stick! Use it by saying 'Moon Healing Escalation'!"

"Okay! Moon Healing Escalation!"

The attack totally obliterated the monster! Wow!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So there's another one, huh, Artemis?"

"Yup."

"When must I take action again?"

"If the four guardians need assistance, once they're all awakened, of course."

"Thank you for the reminder."

"In the meantime, shall we continue your training?"

"Of course."
