Aerina's head jerked around for a few seconds, then she closed her eyes. Seron carried her to an empty room, then used a spell to block out the information coming in. "Thank you, Sen," she said with a sigh of relief.
"IT's no problem, Aeri," he said, kissing her head. He closed the door, then came back out to th eliving room.

Kadin flipped through the pages of a book. "This might help her. I can make it so this house will block out all those voices she's hearing. This would be a sanctuary for her."

He nodded. "That would be really helpful."

"All right." He headed outside and put some tags on the corners of the house. "That will block it."
A Lucario came up behind Kadin and put its arms around her. "Welcome home, honey." Kadin smiled.
"Seron, this is my wife, Melody."

He blinked. "Humans...and Pokemon...living together...in harmony? Such a thing is possible?"

"In this dimension, yes. It's actually rather common."
"We've only been married 2 months, so we don't have any children yet, but there's one on the way," she said, rubbing her large belly.

"We live in aworld with POkemon, but... I should have known there was some reason they wre keeping us from knowing about Alpha..."

He sat on the couch, covering his face with his hands. "No wonder they didn't want us to know about Alpha..."

"There are at least three known universes with POkemon, at least ot mine: Alpha, Gamma and Theta. Aeri and I lived in Theta. This is Alpha. In Theta, the government rules with an iron fist. Pokemon are forced onto reservations and zoos. They're treated like dirt. And all marriages and whatnot are dictated by law. You cannot marry someone that's more than a year older or younger than you and you can't marry until you're at least twenty-five. Defying any law is punishable by death."

He nodded. "There was underground information about Alpha. It told of the freedom... It sounded almost like a fairytale."

"This is no fairy tale," Melody said. "In this dimension, we are free, especially in this city."

"You have no idea how glad I am for that. Aeri and I were being chased just because we love each other. SHe's sixteen and I'm twenty-five."

"I'm glad. Now maybe we can find someone that can help Aeri..." He sighed, clearly exhausted.

"Help her how?" Melody asked.

"She's an extremely strong psychic. She can tap into natural wells of information and it overwhelms her whenever she comes to a new area. There's nobody in Theta that can help us. Almost nobody there has magic or abilities."
Aerina slowly walked out of her room and sat next to Seron. "Get some sleep," she said. "You're exhausted." Seron nodded wearily and went to Aerina's room, then fell on the bed, asleep. Aerina sighed. Her face and arms were covered with healing bruises and scratches. Her clothes were also finely cut. She clearly hadn't bathed in some time.

She jumped and started shaking again a little bit. She was clearly used to people only hurting her.

"Relax," Melody said, her voice very calming. "He just wants to heal your injuries."

"S-Sorry..." she said, her voice very soft. "I'm just used to being beaten..." She stared at the floor.

"I understand. Would it make you feel better if you saw what he'd be doing first?"

"I trust him. I know he won't hurt me. Mother is telling me so. It's jsut hard to get over what's happened in the past."

"Would it help if I held your hand while he heals you?"

She shook her head. "No. I just don't want anyone to touch me..." she shrank away, instinctively blending into the couch.

She reappeared. "N-No." She got up and went to her room, locking the door.
