## Plot

Solarflare has a dream here he crawls towards a ball of light and sees a old and somehow familiar Leafeon, a berserk Leafeon, calling upon Arceus to face him for ignoring the millions of deaths in his land. The Leafeon speaks for both himself and for his virus that bonded with him, Arceus appears for the Leafeon and speaks about how impressed he is in this Leafeon, but the Leafeon attacks Arceus in rage and forms into a Deoxys for an attack, with the virus asking why they have to be the monsters in the story. Arceus is able to defeat the Leafeon and speaks about his disappointment in him for not learning from the Leafeon's 258 previous counterparts who faced him. Arceus tells how about that he did not create the virus, but a wish maker did, and how it is destined for every other counterparts to lose, meaning that they are nothing in their worlds. The Leafeon break downs, but Arceus tells him they he can save all of his counterparts by retrieving all of the light orbs left behind by his counterpoints that had failed in their worlds to finally figure out how to solve everything. Arceus then leaves a grand message for him, and that he is not a god as powerful as was said and enlightens him that it is the human "Authors" who truly control the worlds. He states that the Leafeon has been chosen to keep on living with the main counterpart of him, and tells him to be thankful that they didn't get in their world themselves. Solarflare wakes up from a cold sweat and in tears about what he had seen, but he shakes it off when Axel greets him good morning, announcing that they all are going to go to the Game Plaza.

Meanwhile, Sunshine wakes up Silvia to get ready. While Silvia leaves, Sunshine spots Mana in Silvia's bag. They befriend each other and Mana mentions Chill, who Sunshine finds similar to her friend Vi. Silvia comes back, surprised that Sunshine met Mana, but decides to let it slide as long as Sunshine keeps Mana's existence secret from the rest of the group. Pearl calls Silvia and Sunshine to group up with everyone else, and so they leave they leave the room and tell Mana to stay in the house. Once they leave, Mana calls for Chill and he appears. She asks if Speed really is Sunshine's dad, and Chill tells her that Speed found her as an abandoned egg and told him to stay in the area for a whole month to make sure if anyone was looking for it, which he calls a very boring time. Mana asks more questions about why he calls Speed "boss" and if he knows a Victini named Vi, which he replies by stating that Speed hated being called "boss" and that he is Vi. They decide to watch some movies while the rest are out.

Meanwhile, the group is taking a train to a museum. Leaf talks to Flare about how Flare looks about his dream, so she suggests that he takes another nap. They share a moment, and Flare starts to fall asleep. Suddenly, Flare dreams and spots Fluffy unconscious, which alerts him. Someone tells him to not bother Starlight, and then Flare meets Leafeon that he saw in his dream. The Leafeon, know as Solar, tells Flare that Starlight was what he called his virus, which immediately gives off that Solar is Flare from another world where he was a Leafeon. Solar tells him about how he was sent into his mind by a Light Orb and that Starlight and Fluffy couldn't stay in a single timeline, meaning that Starlight scarified himself so that Solar can have a body in the spiritual world. Solar is a bit shaken, but manages to tell Flare about how there were least 259 version of them in the universe, but then notices how there are now 362,880 to millions of them now. He also tells him that he isn't living anymore and is stuck in the realm with him. Flare wants to know how he turned into the Deoxy and Solar tells him that it came from a Space Virus that was luckily tame. He tells Flare his warning about how the fabric of reality has weakened and that anything from different timelines can somehow occur in theirs. Solar then uses his ability to look through the Memory Path to find out if Deomorphs exist in Flare's world. Solar discovers a huge tower of imperfect Deomorphs in Flare's world, and tells Flare about another form imperfect of Deomorph called Mimickers that take the appearance of Deoxys. He states that a perfect Deomorph is the hybrid between the Space Virus and the dead Amorphism, the black liquid found in Beserkers and non infected state. Flare is very curious of what the liquid looks like, but Solar doesn't want to show it. Solar spots another timeline facing the Mimickers and is surprised by the people's call to action. Then, Solar takes Flare to a moment in the past within Flare's world when the Space Virus came to his world, which was three years ago. They spot Speed infected with the Space Virus, but working together as a team in a situation, but Solar takes Flare out of the recreated memory, thinking that he has seen enough; though Solar was also shocked upon seeing Speed again. Solar concludes that the Space Virus and the Amorphism have occurred at different times, meaning that Flare's world is safe from the Deomorph for now.

The next thing Solar decides to do is to look through his world to finally figure out what happened to his Speed, though he reluctantly brings Flare along. They go through the memory path and end up in the time of their hatching; Flare notes how he and his siblings haven't hugged so meaningfully since then. Solar mentions how their worlds are similar, but with distinct differences, mentioning how Flare's world has gone through four reformations. Flare convinces Solar to steadily look through the timeline to find out various thing in their past that hey wanted to know before. Solar takes him three days later of their hatching to show him how they were named; Speed overheard a conversation between a *Mankey* and a *Zubat* about the speed it takes them to go to Crystal Cave and about the sun's solar flares. They see Speed naming them Solarflare and their sister Crystal, though the two are curious if that means that Speed's full name is Top Speed. Then Solar takes them to the time where a wild Feraligatr tried to get in their house to eat all of them, but the roof fell on in, which made it give up on trying to eat them. From that day on, Speed was so traumatized by the event that he went on into serious training to protect his siblings. They look go trough various memories including the day Speed met Trace, the formation of their team Yellow Thunder, and when Silvia wanted to get Speed's help to build a house. Solar suddenly notices that a berserk Lucario never attack Robert's lab and that the Elemental Medal were never made, which then leads to both Speed and Trace asking for a healing factor when they meet Jirachi; Flare discovers that Speed tried to bring their parents back to life. They see the consequences of the absence of those two events, seeing how Speed never won the Town Tournament by Speed's guilt of a healing factor and an abscess of Turbo, plus the fact that Jirachi goes back to sleep. They then see the time where Crystal evolves, but this time Crystal doesn't pressure Solarflare on evolving. Then they finally see the full consequence of the absence of the attack and the Elemental Medals, as Speed is killed by the Venusuar in the Abandoned Lab, which doesn't happens in Flare's world because of how Speed managed to get a new healing factor due to Trace's reluctance of making a wish in the cave. Solar is heartbroken by Speed's fate in his world and mentions how Crystal never was herself after the disappearance of Speed. He notes how it was the Scavengers, category 1.5 berserkers, that killed Speed, but how they changed after the Alpha War when they decided to be parts of machine. Solar then notices that his time is up in the realm and tells Flare that Flare's mom is still alive and close by. Finally, tells Flare to show how much they care for Speed and Crystal.

Flare suddenly awakes and finds out he has been asleep for 20 minutes from Leaf. He sees Crystal talking with Lazuli, and suddenly he hugs her. Sunshine decides to join in on the hug. Meanwhile, Speed looks out the window, remembering last night. In a flashback, we see Speed and Pearl talking bout Speed's mom and how he wants to start a search for her when they get home. Pearl tells him that she searched for her a month after he told her, stating that she might've found her. Suddenly, Speed is taken out of the flashback by Sunshine and tells him that Flare want all of them to hug. Being shocked about how Speed died in Solar's world, Flare asks Speed to not leave them like he used to. Flare also tells him about he had dream that their mother was still alive; Speed believes it, but Crystal has doubts. Crystal then tells Speed to not be moody when they get to the museums.

A while later, the group finally arrive to their destination. Speed goes back to his memories of last night. Pearl tells Speed that his sibling's DNA perfectly matches with Mrs. Mollie, and Speed is very happy to hear the news, but then Pearl tell him that he has no connection with Mrs. Mollie, leading Pearl to think Speed is adopted. Speed is ultimately depressed by this news. When the group finally get inside the museum, called the Museum of Technology, Frank then guides the rest of the group through it. Crystal doesn't follow Speed's advice and gets moody, but then she snaps out of it when she sees Flare eating chocolate with Leaf and goes in a frantic panic because of PTSD. Lazuli checks up on them and she and Flare have an exchange about how they are starting to act more differently, especially after the event of yesterday. Crystal is at edge and frantically wants to know what happened, but Flare calms her down. Frank still guides the group, but Crystal has fully calmed down. Silvia is worried about what's going on with Speed and asks Pearl, but Pearl doesn't want to give full details.

Black in the meantime thinks about what Speed said and wonders if Speed was just in lying to him, shaming himself for being too arrogant. Then he overhears a Phantump and a Glaceon, which the Glaceon reminds him of Frost. Black tries to deny that it's him, but then CC decides to talk with him to apologize in general. She tells Black that in her world, she, Black, and Frost were a family and how Frost was always there for them. Black tells her how Frost died in his world and CC apologizes for reminding him. She also notes how the Black in her world is much more gentle. Black decides that CC is not a bad person because he knew Frost, but still announces that he will be watching her still.

Pearl oversees the exchange, but then she is interrupted by Sunshine. Sunshine tells her that Silvia and Lazuli are her moms now, which confuses Pearl and Silvia is shocked by how she told her. Axel doesn't fully understand it. Silvia then tells Lazuli to watch the children for bonding as she plans to find out what is bothering Speed.

Speed looks at a piece of armor and has a flashback. An older Jolteon scolds Speed for coming with him to battle, though Speed states that he was trying to protect the industries. The Jolteon states how the others thought he was insane for letting a 12-year-old to become a solider and that he wouldn't be so reckless if his parents were around. Speed states that he can't die, but the Jolteon, who is called Blizz, states that Speed may end up alone in the long run if he keeps dying. Blizz tells Speed that once Berserkers are out, he has to get out this dangerous work. Suddenly in a time skip, we see Speed seeing Blizz's corpse and a Zangoose tries to comfort him. Later, he faces the berserk Alakazam who killed Blizz and Speed unleash his Turbo power in rage. The Turbo power unfortunately dies down and the Alakazam kills Speed, not knowing he can't be permanently killed. Then, Silvia meets up with Speed and asks what's wrong. She decides to take Speed somewhere private so that they can talk.

Speed tells Silvia that his old memories have all resurfaced suddenly and how he found out that he is not technically Mrs. Mollie's son anymore, as he died 4 years ago. He tells her that he nothing but a flawed copy made by a wish by Trace, but Silvia doesn't agree with him. She tells him that he still has the same soul, but Speed doubts that by the amounts of times he has died. Silvia slaps him and tells him that he is Flare and Crystal's brother and that he really is Mrs. Mollie daughter because he still has the memories, but Speed just can't accept it, leaving her frustrated. Suddenly, Speed gets a vision of a Pikachu, and then his Turbo is set off in passive way.

Silvia catches up with Pearl, Crystal, and Lazuli, still mad about the conversation between her and Speed. They are having trouble whether to call each other by their real names or by the species name, but then Speed comes out with light blue eyes, which prompts Silvia to cover them and take Speed elsewhere. The latter notice his eyes, but Pearl covers it up by saying that they might be contact lens. Silvia scolds Speed for looking like that, but Speed says that he can't turn them off and that he is getting real exhausted. Silvia and Speed return, with Silvia announcing that Speed bought some contact lens, but Lazuli thinks something is up. Pearl then polls the Eeveelution Squad if they would rather be called by their real names or by their species names, with Crystal being the only one who prefers to be called Vaporeon. Pearl then goes into the next phrase to check on the relationships between each member, which is form good to mixed. The adults compliment how well the group gets along, though Frank is disappointed about how the adults didn't take his tour seriously. In a montage, the rest of cast keeps enjoying their time in the museum, while Silvia keeps trying to cover Speed's eyes.

Finally, the group gets to the Game Plaza, with Frank dropping them off. Silvia is still worried about Speed, but then she moves her attention to having fun with the children. Pearl mentions how they are acting really out of character. Later, Sunshine is amazed by a Jolteon doll. Silvia wants it too, but Speed mentions how there is only one. Speed asks how much the doll costs, only for the game clerk to tell him that's a prize that cost 15000 points. The clerk tells them that there is game that can get them 5000 points, but it requires two players. Sunshine begs for Speed and Silvia to get the doll, so they promise her that they will, but the exchange make the clerk think that they are a whole family. The clerk gives them Point collectors and they are off to get that plushie. Lazuli is a bit jealous of Silvia, but then Sunshine hugs her, with Lazuli still being embarrassed of being called mom. Axel reassures Sunshine that Speed and Silvia will win the plushie, while Crystal decides to play some games herself. Lazuli bonds a bit with Sunshine and expresses a bit of herself, being grateful that Speed has forgiven her. Lazuli wants to check on Silvia, so she asks Flare to take care of the children. They all agree to have a chocolate sundae.

Meanwhile, Gai talks with Silvia and tells her that he is proud of her for dating Speed. He overshares too much and tells her that he is expecting a whole set of eeveelutions from the two, which leaves Silvia mortified; she throws Gai into a basketball hop. A little while after that, CC is doing well at playing skee ball with Pearl and Crystal, and she shows them her second sin symbol on her tail, Greed. The being of Greed appears to explain what it means, but it vanishes shortly. They keep playing, but CC feels a bit drained. Solarflare looks at CC and ponder about how the universe works, being overwhelmed by it all, until Solar talks to him. Flare is shocked by this, and Sunshine and Axel are bit weirded out. Solar talks to him about his bonds with Fluffy and that as long as CC is in this world, only 70% of it can be restored. He also tells Flare that Fluffy is awake, which worries Flare since he is eating chocolate, but Solar scolds him for not trusting Fluffy. They bid farewell, and to lighten up the mood with the children, Flare decides to buy them waffles.

Later, Lazuli meets up with Silvia to ask her want is going on with Speed. Silvia doesn't want to tell her anything, but Lazuli pressures her into telling her what's going on with Speed. Lazuli is a bit confused, but then understands what going on and they converse about how they can proof that Speed still is himself. They conclude that since his Turbo ability is with him, it's connected to like a soul, he is still himself spiritually. Lazuli asks an overwhelmed Silvia to cheer up about the whole situation and to focus on having fun to distract Speed's depression, while also wanting to redeem herself. Silvia has 834 points and they decide to team up to get enough points for the plushie.

Meanwhile, Leaf talks with Black to forgive Speed, knowing from her mother that everyone has good in them. Black asks her about her mother and Leaf becomes depressed. Black comforts her, sympathizing with her loss. They sort of share a moment, but Black decides that they join with the children and Leaf's "boyfriend" Flare, which shocks and confuses Leaf. Flare asks Axel why he wants to live with them, the eeveelution squad. Axel tells him that he has been very lonely in his town and that the other kids bully him for being a shiny, but then Black assures him that those kids are mean. Sunshine also comforts him by telling him that he is her best friend now and by hugging him, which causes him to blush. Black, remembering how much he hated bullies when he was a kid, offers Axel to train with him to become strong, which Axel happily agrees. Black as offer Flare to train with him, seeing how he was lot more potential that his brother, and Flare agrees. Sunshine hugs Black and Black doesn't seem to mind it. Meanwhile, CC looks for another game to play, until a game clerk named Gold calls her to play his ball toss for an Ice Stone bracelet. CC plays with a blindfold on and directly hits the stack of bottles, but it doesn't move. She tries various times to knock them down, but they don't budge. Crystal calls out that the stall is a scam and get hims to put his arms up. CC successfully knocks out the bottles and gets the bracelet. Meanwhile, Lazuli and Silvia are playing to get more points.

Hours later, Speed is disappointed that he only has 3890 points, but then he is joined by Silvia and Lazuli and they combine each other's points to get 10595 points, so now they have to play the two player game for 5000 points! Silvia takes him to the game and Speed reads the rules; there are 10 levels in the game, it requires two players, played with synchronized movements, and you got to beat all 10 levels to get any points. Speed and Lazuli first partner up and they play, but a enemy robot in the game looks like the Alakazam that killed Blizz, leading Speed to not think straight. They lose the round, so now Speed and Silvia partner up. They start, but Speed is panicking as the game is triggering PTSD. They lose again and now Silvia now knows that Speed is making them lose, so she tells Lazuli to partner up with her. Speed is mad and tell her that he can do, feeling that he would beat his bad memories, but then Lazuli calms him down by kissing him, which shocks Silvia. They play and feel beat the first level. Meanwhile, Sunshine asks if Black is angry with Speed, though Black says that he has already forgiven him, but he just can't say it directly to him. Axel tells him that it sounds like he doesn't want to forgive him and that it's best to talk with everybody else. Black feels very proud of the children and decides to take Axel's advice. Black wants to know more about Leaf.

Meanwhile, Lazuli and Silvia are nearing the end of the game. They are in an intense battle with the final boss, but they mange to beat it. They rejoice over their victory as they have enough to get the plush and they hug Speed, who had just woken up. They cash in their points and Sunshine is very thankful for them for getting the Jolteon plushie. Lazuli and Silvia bond a bit and Lazuli tells her that she is jealous of how cheerful she is compared to her. Lazuli asks if she still loves Speed, which get a strong reactions from Silvia, making Silvia wonder if Silvia really is Speed's ex-girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Mana and Chill have finished watch some movies and they decide to go to the beach. Mana asks if he is going to meet up with Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi once again, though he say that it has been a thousand years since they got together. He promises Mana that she will meet them all one day.

Finally, after a montage, the group returns home and Black sends Speed a note to meet him on the beach. Black is surprised that Speed took his message seriously, but Speed states that of course he would take his words seriously. Black then he tells him that they owe it too themselves to apologize about the past, which Speed feels grateful about. They talk about how they first met when Speed was bandaged up and they talked fondly about Frost, wishing he was still here with them. Speed recalls how he said that there would be a hero one day that would protect them all from harm and that Black said that Speed would be that hero, and Black is surprised that Speed has become a hero by being champion. Speed tells Black that he doesn't consider himself a hero, he considers himself a murderer and a hoodlum. Black tells him that he is only looking at past and mentions how not everyone is perfect and that they all have made mistakes, remembering how he himself was the cause of Frost's death. Speed tells Black that he doesn't deserve to be his friend for all the time he lied to him, while also knowing that they both have their reason for splitting their friendship apart. Speed asks what he can do to get him to forgive him and Black asks fo the reason why his eyes are blue, while being thoughtful by only asking the details that are not private. Speed tells him that it is part of a power calls "Turbo Boost" and at the moment it's not giving him any powers for reason he doesn't know. Black sort of understands and asks Speed for a sparring match. Speed is a bit reluctant due to Black's current damaged condition, but he tells him that Pearl has been giving him oran berries to heal up and that his back is practically fixed. They ask for full strong, and they spar. While they spar, memories of themselves flash by. In a memory, Speed tells Black that he never went to school for being a wild Pokemon, but Black assures him that he will still be his friend regardless. Moments of the sparring and these memories move parallel with each other. In a final memory, Black expresses his gratitude to Speed for being there to teach him how to fight, though Speed laments how he wishes it was Frost that thought him. Speed thanks him for being with him and they agree to be best friends forever. In the present, Speed and Black are exhausted by their sparring and Speed asks if all is forgiven. Black tells him that he has always forgiven him but hated to admit it, but it means the world to Speed that he told him. Speed wonder if they would be in trouble if they went back inside, but Black assures him that the adults are all probably asleep. Black talks about how Silvia is a cute name, but Speed is more focused on how that fight drained all of their energy. The two figure out that they will be stuck in the beach over night since they can't move. The chapter ends.
