I only have a little wrote after this so it'll be a little bit longer in between releases
Her head rammed into something. She fell back, and thankfully didn’t hit the rock behind her. But her head still pounded with pain.
“Oww…”
Peacock froze. She remembered that voice. It had been a while, but she’d recognize it anywhere. Lifting her head she opened her eyes to see what- Erm, who- she had rammed into.
The person who stood up rubbing their forehead was none other than the Galaxy Corps member Rei.
“Rei?” Peacock blinked a few times and stood up, just to make sure what she was seeing was real.
He stopped, and turned towards her. “P-Peacock?” There were a few heartbeats of silence as they stared at each other. “It is you!” He moved forward and wrapped her in a hug. “It’s been so long! Where have you been? What’s been going on? Why haven’t you come to the village or any camps?”
Peacock was beginning to feel overwhelmed. She pushed him away. Where have you been? What’s been going on? The questions struck her in a bad way. Memories started flooding back to her. Memories of the plates, of the statues, of losing to Volo. Peacock’s breathing became short and quick. She trembled, crouching down. The nightmares enveloped her. She was being surrounded by Volo’s Pokemon, by Alpha Pokemon, all roaring and making aggressive noises at her. Volo was suddenly near her, his hand reached out. “The plates.” He said menacingly. “Hand over the plates or else!” She flinched, almost falling backwards.
“Peacock! PEACOCK!” The nightmare faded away, the Pokemon disappeared, and Volo turned into Rei. He had held his hand out, but took it back when his friend flinched. He looked very concerned. “What’s wrong? Did I do something?"
She got up and started backing away. Her breathing was still shallow. Swiftly, she turned and ran. Not knowing exactly where she was going, she headed towards the woods.

Rei stood there, dumbfounded. Was it something he did? Did he do something wrong? He was just trying to help out with the Pokedex. He turned around, but the Eevee was long gone by now. He stood there for a few more moments. “What now?” He said to himself. “She did seem pretty freaked out but…” He looked down at the PokeBall she dropped, and picked it up. “A good friend would try and help.” He started in the direction that Peacock ran. He glanced around to watch out for any Pokemon, but there was only Starlys, Wurmples, and a few Bidoofs.
He stopped when he heard a strange sound. “Is that…?” He walked a few more paces and looked around a tree. Peacock was leaning on it with her arms wrapped around her knees, sniffling. She didn’t react when he walked over. He sat against the side of the tree. His friend turned her head to face the opposite direction.
“So… Umm… Do you want to talk?” He waited but there was no answer. “I’m sorry if it’s something I did. I was just trying to help with the Pokedex and I’m sorry if I-”
“No.”
“N-No?”
“It’s… Not your fault.” They sat in silence once again. “About Volo… You were right.” Rei looked at her in surprise. “About… Not trusting him.” She sighed. “When you said he was only wanting something for himself, you were correct.” She sniffled again. “After I got the last of the 17 plates, we visited some statues, and agreed to meet at the Temple of Sinnoh. I arrived there and…”
“And what?”
“And he told me what he was really after. He just wanted to meet… Arceus, or whatever he called it. He told me that he was the one who created the rift, and he was just using me to get the plates. He pulled out the last one and… Demanded I give him the rest.” She closed her eyes tightly and shuddered. “Give them to him so he could use them to meet Arceus, but would destroy and get rid of everything in Hisui. The battle went so horribly, I lost and ran. I thought if I came back to the village, everyone would blame me. So I ran. And I hid. Why get exiled by someone else if I could do it myself.”
Rei huffed. “Well we can’t just stand by! We have to go teach Volo a lesson!” He went to get up, but Peacock grabbed his sleeve. This time she was looking directly at him.
“No!” There was fear in her eyes. “You can’t, you don’t know how strong he is! The two of us would be no match, I don’t even know how many people it would take to defeat him. Rei slowly sat down again.
“Oh…” He started thinking, thinking of a way to defeat him, or at least make the situation better for Peacock.
