preparations...

Elena had a triumphful smile on her face. She had accomplish so much in just one day, first, she had convince her father to accept the job so that means that her chances in meeting Ash just went up considerably, second, she had proven the existent of the Spear Pillar in Mount Coronet, thanks to Ash's little gift, which was an orb that has the insignia of both Mount Coronet and the Spear Pillar, third, she had successfully convince the crew to visit Twinleaf town to take part in the festivities, and fourth she had convince Adan to let her drive the company's personal jet.

"Keep your eyes on the sky, Elena. I don't want to die yet." Adan shouted quite harshly. Elena quickly snapped back into reality and stirred the jet into the right direction, the direction towards Twinleaf Town. "Arceus, Elena please concentrate. You are piloting a jet, not a car, not truck, but a jet. If you crash, you're not just going down but you are going to take eleven people down with you." Adan said in a scolding manner.

"Huh, there are only eleven people here." Elena corrected, Adan merely slapped his forehead.

"I counted Koyuki as well, that makes us twelve." Adan said to Elena.

Elena giggled a bit at Adan's answered. "I still can't believe that you'll treat Koyuki as a person and not as a Pokémon. I thought I'll be the only one who'll treat her that way when I first brought her in the company." Elena said her eyes focus on the sky as she pilot the jet.

"What do you expect? You treat her like she's your own daughter so it's natural for me to treat like she my granddaughter." Adan snorted which earned her a giggled from Elena.

Adan was a middle age man with an extremely well build and muscular body and was also freakishly tall, at the height of seven feet and five inches. He has a a dark crimson hair, green color eyes, and rough skin. He was serious yet cheerful man. He takes his job as a mechanic and an archeologist very seriously but still could have some fun while doing it. He was also a passionate and responsible man but can still hold a grudge for a very long time. He was the one who personally took care of Elena and her sister when their father left them, for ten years. That was the reason why those three consider him more of a father than their biological father. Adan also holds a grudge and deep hatred over Henry for abandoning his children and wife but other than that, they are still friends.

"So Elena, why did you put so much effort in convincing Henry, Natasha, and me to accept this job and to visit Twinleaf Town for that festival, at that? It's unlike you to gamble on a job that is probably going to be a wild goose chase." Adan said as he closed his eyes, knowing that Elena could drive the jet sufficiently now, without the risk of crashing.

Elena momentarily looked at Adan before gazing back at the sky. "I just want to see the Sky Pillar for myself and there's nothing wrong in a bit of relaxation once in a while." Elena said uninterestedly.

Adan opened one of his eyes and looked at Elena in the corner of his eye. "You know, I could see right through your lie, Elena." Adan stated flatly while Elena merely shrugged her shoulders and concentrated in driving the fast jet, she was determine to arrive at Twinleaf Town before night fall.

"You change, Elena so much in the past three years. You're so much like your mother but only better in my opinion." Adan commented as he went to a semi conscious state.

Elena looked at him with a confuse expression before pressing the autopilot button so that she could talked to his second father. Elena looked at Adan for a while before asking a question. "You said to me and my sister that our mother was the most wonderful woman you have ever meant, how could you tell that I'm better than my mother?" Elena asked in a curios manner.

"Relena was probably the most amazing woman I've ever meant but you're an even amazing person compare to your mother, just don't ask me why because I wouldn't tell. Now please switch off the autopilot because I'm more comfortable if you're driving and not just some computer." Adan said as he drifted to sleep. Elena shook her head, she should have known that she wouldn't get any answer from him but still smiled at his second father.

The two of them drifted to a blissful silence, Adan was enjoying a dreamless nap and Elena was enjoying piloting the very fast and very expensive jet. The tow of them stayed in that silence for a good five minutes but the silence was disturb by two presence that is too familiar by the two.

"Get the hell out of my sight Justin before I throw you out the jet." An irritated voice threat as she walked pass the person named Justin. That voice came from Sarah.

"So much for my nap." Adan sighed in disappointment as he opened his eyes, his nap disturbed.

"Sarah really hate's Justin, doesn't she?" Elena stated the obvious fact.

"I can't blame him, I respect the kid but I hate his guts." Adan stated as he reached for something. "I can't believe you don't hate that guy, that punk has tried to hit on you so many times that I was very much tempted to shove my sledge hammer up his ass, heck I would have done it if it weren't for Natasha stopping." Adan snarled remembering all those times that Justin had hit on her adoptive daughter. 'I wouldn't trust you on someone that is so similar to your father when he was young. I already lose someone I love to a person like Henry, I wouldn't lose another one.' Adan thought as he gaze caringly on his favorite girl.

Elena merely chuckled at that. "Justin is my not my type and you know that. Justin is just an annoying friend of mine and that's all, and if he ever tries to hit on me again during this day forward, I will finally allow Koyuki to shove that Aura Blade through his ass." Elena stated with a sadistic smile. Adan looked at Elena with a fearful expression which did not go unnoticed by Elena. "What?" Elena asked confusedly.

"I'm regretting voting together with the others to force you in that seven month vacation three years ago, you change a lot and it scares me sometimes." Adan stated which earned him a laugh from Elena.

"When you met someone like him, like that man that I met, during those seven months, you can't help but change because he can show you a world where you can't help but change." Elena said with a soft smile.
