The tensions in the academy city have been growing lately. After the stealing attempt, no one bothered Xyno but City Officials were in an uproar. Not only Monty and Luther families tried to steal pokemon, but they were miserably beaten and were still missing.
Despite this, no one tried to ask their whereabouts. Even the 'victim' families went silent after learning that Xyno was connected to the famous Regina Ballard. She even sent her pokemon to protect him. Although they all had at least one elite class trainer in the family, the champion class was not something they can contend with.
The champion class eerie pressure scared many people to their bones. All five big families inside the city were boiling with tension.
As if this was not enough. Just after 2 months of the event, there was a huge theft of pokemon training resources and other valuables from their treasuries. The most affected was the Luther family as they lost their heirloom left by pseudo-master class ancestor 500 years ago.
It was a Pokeball known as Mindball. It has the power of enhancing the mind of pokemon residing in it. It also benefits others who are near it, person and pokemon alike. Developing mind is very vital for pokemon especially above level 50. They need to improve their intelligence. It is also vital for trainers to reach Tier 5 and above stages.
The Mindball was a tightly kept secret that made them famous as psychic type pokemon trainers. Without it, their family will decline into an average family. Salt to their fresh wounds was the fact that most of their treasury was emptied.
Although Monty family was in a relatively better condition, they lost an ancient fragment of Thunder core left by some dead legendary pokemon. Monty family had 3 elemental cores which were their secret to power. They were what made them prosperous, now one of the core was stolen and it was the best one. They felt like crying.
All five families wanted to complain to someone but did not know whom to complain to. They felt wronged but were powerless. Perhaps this was retribution.
When the families were having tears of blood, our hero was unaware of the predicament they were going through. He was busy taking care of his pokemon.
It was already night and Xyno was feeding common Pokeblocks to Tiny. Tiny had quite some appetite so he had to resort to common food to fill this lazy bum.
"You can try imbuing razor leaf with nature energy, it would be good practice for energy ball,"
As Xyno was explaining his idea for training to Tiny, he suddenly noticed a presence to his side. There a strange violet-colored Ralts was sitting on the window, staring curiously at him. Although he cannot see her eyes, Xyno could feel an excited gaze. As if she had found some treasure.
As Xyno checked her with his eyes, he was dumbfounded with the information he got. She was the most special pokemon he had seen till now, even Sett was worse. Xyno was shocked by the revelation.
Xyno gave a stiff smile and said "Hi there, you need something?"
Ralts kept staring at him then she shifted her gaze to the Pokeblock.
"You want to eat this? Ok come here"
Rats just teleported beside him. It was like a natural instinct to her. She looked hopefully at Xyno and opened her small mouth.
Xyno got the signal. He smiled wryly and took a Pokeblock to her mouth. Ralts slowly nibbled on it.
(She is cute and scary at the same time. Maria will go crazy if she saw her.) Xyno chuckled inwardly.
Xyno silently fed Rats block by block. Such action kept going on for several minutes till she was full.
"Ralts~" She cried happily as if signaling him something.
Xyno felt confused but she suddenly jumped on his lap and started glowing. Xyno felt the same feeling as when Sett formed a bond with him. Feelings of love, affection, and gratefulness assaulted him. They were multiple times that of Sett.

Xyno was feeling strange affections through their link. Although he was happy to get this overpowered pokemon, he felt confused because Ralts was behaving like she was searching for him all this time.
He does not remember meeting her before so how could she be familiar with him?
"Ok from now on you will be called Celestine." Xyno smiled and said.
Celestine cheered happily upon receiving a name.
"Celestine did we ever met before?" Xyno asked curiously.
Celestine nodded and suddenly a multicolor thread was formed joining Xyno and Celes's forehead.
Although her telepathy skill was not mastered and she can only transfer feelings but she can also transfer memories for a short time.
Xyno felt like he was moving through a strange space there were multiple mirrors scattered. Each one contained a memory fragment.
Xyno arrived at a place that was somewhat familiar. He was floating and was translucent like a phantom. There was a forest all around. It was the same Kinderburn Isle where he found Sett.
Xyno looked around and saw a tiny and normal Ralts running for her life. An Ursaring was chasing her. He was rapidly closing in distance. The Ralts looked injured.
Suddenly Ursaring used the move slash, his claw started glowing. Ralts looked scared and stood frozen at the place. She thought her life would end but before the move could hit her she heard a voice.
"Foxy save her"
Next, she was shocked as a shield of ice formed in front of her. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a young boy and an Alolan Ninetails variant walking calmly towards her.
Ursaring which was attacking madly at the shield also stopped after The Ninetails glared at him.
He was scared and ran away as if his life depended on it.
Xyno bent down towards the Ralts and gave her a berry to eat. It was sweet and sour. Xyno patted her watching her cute reaction.
"There there, take it easy." Xyno chuckled and started spraying a potion at Ralts wounds.
Ralts felt warm for the first time in years. She sobbed looking in Xyno's direction like he was a god. She was hungry therefore she stole food from a Teddiursa when its parents noticed that, The male Ursaring started chasing her in anger.
It was the first time someone gave her something to eat after her mother's death. She even forgot about her wounds. Xyno did not know that due to this event sweet and sour became Ralts's favourite taste.
"Ok now you are all healed. Take care." Xyno patted her a last time and left some berries for her to eat.
Ralts looked longingly towards his direction but hesitated and did not chase him. It was a decision she would regret for a long time.
...
Xyno was speechless after watching the memory fragment. He never knew that he would create such a big change in her life.
During his stay at Kinderburn Isle, he usually strolled around for lightening up his mood. He helped more than a hundred pokemon during his stay there so how could he remember a 'small' event.
"But how did you change so much?" Xyno asked curiously.
Ralts again showed him another memory fragment, this time she was still on the same Kinderburn Isle. Sometime after he left, she felt sad and decided to look for him. As she was roaming the forest looking for his clues, a dark rift opened in front of her and her vision darkened.
When she woke up, she was badly injured and there was an altar in front of her. There were strange violet colored crystals everywhere.
As time went on she felt hungry and with nothing to eat, she decided to feed on crystals. Days crossed but she had no way out. After feeding on crystals for weeks she felt like something inside her broke.
A sudden pain assaulted her body. And it felt like her entire being was being changed.
What she did not know was these were extremely pure space crystals formed by energy radiated from the Space Fragment of Eternity Bracelet. Normally you cannot directly feed on mana crystals but these were different.
Slowly a vortex appeared and started absorbing Space Energy from the crystals into her. The process continued for several days when she directly transformed into a legendary like being.
When she woke up, nearly half of the crystals were gone and a Light Pink colored orb was still on the Altar. She climbed the Altar and when she saw it close, it was the size of a football.
When Xyno saw the orb inside the memories, a strange feeling appeared and information about it directly came to his mind.
<Eternity Fragment: Mind Stone>
While he was shocked by the revelation. Celes touched it and it suddenly vanished. Then Celes directly left the strange space after touching space crystals as they also vanished from sight.
.....
"Hey, Celes what about that orb you saw? Do you have it?"
Celes nodded as a small rift was opened and the orb directly came out.
When Xyno saw the orb he became ecstatic but suddenly he started feeling unimaginable pain and something was being pulled out from his soul. The pain was short-lived just for several seconds.
As he regained senses the orb directly shot toward him, more precisely towards a majestic Bracelet on his wrist.
It shrunk in size and got attached to it.
At that time Xyno felt a voice in his head.
< Bracelet of Eternity: Mindstone found >
