A year had passed since the incident at Laqua. Amethio was supposed to take over the Explorers after his grandfather Gibeon’s death, but… Spinel stole it by force and convinced the world that Amethio and the Rising Volt Tacklers were the villains. Which was, of course, lies.

One night, Amethio was sitting around a small fire on the coast of an abandoned beach. He had been hiding from the Explorers, the team he used to fight for… Spinel wanted him dead after all, what more could he do…?

“Sigh… I’m sure the others are looking for me. But I have to keep a low profile… I just… ugh…”

Amethio buried his face into his hands in frustration. He didn’t even notice you approach him.
