Lilly stepped off the boat with a sigh.

"So, this is Maiden's Peak huh? I wonder if everything Ash said was true..." she wondered to herself as she took in the scenery. She saw two passangers that had caught her eye along the trip getting off. A boy who had a red and black shirt, tan shorts, a hat, and an attitude that reminded her of Ash Ketchum, and young girl with blue hair, a pink shirt, a white jacket, and white shorts.

"Alright, a festival! This is gonna be fun!" the girl cheered in excitement.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm more interested in that legend they talk about." the boy replied.

Lilly perked up and walked over to them.

"So, you've heard of it too, huh?" she asked.

"Yeah, sounds way creapy. I wanna see if its true or not."

"So do I. I've got some ideas as to what's really happening."

"What are they?"

"I'm not tellin'. That would ruin the fun."

"Fine. My name's Jimmy."

"I'm Marina." the younger girl asked.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Lilly."

"As in, THE Lilly? The famous trainer from Hoenn?" Marina asked in astonishment.

"And the leuge champian?" Jimmy put in.

Lilly rubbed the back of her head in embarassment. "Yeah, just don't go yelling it out everywhere. I'm trying to AVOID the crowds."

"No problem."

"Come on, let's go get some cotton candy." Marina begged, already heading for the stands.

"Coming." the duo replied. Lilly turned to follow, then stopped and and looked back at the peir.

A lone woman was standing there in a white dress, her voilet hair billowing in the wind, and a few tropical flowers were strung in her hair.

"Huh? Who's she? I don't remember seeing her on the boat. Maybe she's an islander?" Lilly murmered to herself as she watched the figure.

The woman turned towards her, and for a split second their eyes met. Then she faded away, leaving only empty space.

Lilly was taken aback. For a few breif seconds, she could've sworn she'd seen something floating there after the mystery lady vanished.

"Hey Lilly, come on." Jimmy's voice calling her snapped her back to reality.

"Coming!" she called back, turning and running after them. 'Musta been my imagination...Right?'

Meanwhile, two people were hoisting themselves out of the water.

"Some ride..." Butch muttered.

"Hey, at least it got us here." the woman, Cassidy, snapped.

"What're we doing here again?"

"Grabbing valuable Pokemon for Professor Nanba of course. Plus that Lilly brat is here, and everyone knows how powerful her Pokemon are, if we swipe them for the professor, he'll pay us big time."

"Right let's go." Butch glanced at the peir a few feet away, and saw a stunning sight. The woman Lilly had seen a few minutes ago was standing there. Voilet hair blowing, dress billowing, and even from this distance Butch could pick up the faint smell of tropical flowers.

"Hello gorgeous." he mumbled to himself, hearts forming in his eyes. Cassidy bonked him on the back of the head, bringing him back to focus.

"Stop daydreaming and come on!" she ordered, running off. Butch looked back at the woman, but she was gone.

'Who was she...?'
