   Summary

   Kieran and Juliana have just returned from the depths of Area Zero, where Juliana once again is the hero of the story who gets to keep the glory and the legendary pokemon that comes with it. Bitter and jaded, Kieran is left to tend to the wounds of his defeat as he waits to hear about the League's decision regarding who gets to keep the Championship title in Blueberry Academy. He was prepared to do whatever it took to salvage his reputation, but then Carmine delivers the news that they will be going home for a period of time. Will this trip help ease the pain of his loss, or will it be too hard to show his face again - especially to his oh-so-perfect rival of all people?

   Juliana has felt the distance grow between her and Kieran, and it's exactly the opposite of what she wants with her crush. She hopes she can reach out to him and somehow make things right, but he seems to be irritable and stressed whenever she does talk to him. In a moment of unexpected vulnerability, she realized that the old Kieran was still inside of him somewhere. Can she successfully team up with Carmine and the rest of Kieran's family to help him soften up again? And can she find a way to tell him about her feelings?
