Mildred finishes the Dewgong, eating the half that Gil didn't get to.

Cinnabar... It was probably their best bet, or at least the most convenient. Lina agreed, "I'd be happy to fly to Cinnabar island, and that's my first guess, too. So we're all in agreement..."
"I'm a little bit worried about heading out in broad daylight, but if that really is Moltres' home, maybe it'll be fine?"

"Yeah well I'm not 'super' keen on staying here in the cold until dark but maybe we should?"

"If we stay the night we'll at least know we weren't followed. We can leave as dawn and fly with the light. It should be disorienting to anything watching, so we should be able to make a beeline for CInnabar." Maybe someone there would know about the experiments... Maybe not, but he could at least investigate.

"Point. Even if I'm not super-willing to return to an area we just were."

Everyone prepares themselves for a bit of a rough night's sleep on the island. Fortunately, no more wild pokémon appear to hound them for their existence.
They wake as the sun rises, and change forms to take off towards Cinnabar. Those flying: how will you approach the island?

After a pretty cold and uncomfortable sleep (Although not Gil's worst), he awakes with a grunt.
"Ugh. And here I thought was gonna get my 'beauty rest'. Heh."
Gil fully rises and runs his hair back once more.
"So here's what I'm thinkin. If we go flying around, we gotta do it high up. That way if we are spotted, we'd basically be dots in the sky. And if someone were to see us and 'maybe' recognize it, they'd go to their buddies and be like 'Hey I saw a dot that looked like Zapdos!' and that buddy would laugh in their face."
He turns toward the way they need to go.
"So if we go high up and maybe go around the island, landing on the other side of the volcano we'd be ok?"
Gil looks to the two who haven't eaten a legendary bird yet.
"So uhhhh... What's the plan here you two? Luke, have you tested Victini's speed in the open air yet? Feels like ya might get left behind. And..."
Gil looks to Mildred.
"Mildred's got zero options in that department. Soooooooo whos got Mil duty, then?"

Luke shakes his head, holding up his hands defensively. "I'm pretty sure I can't carry her as Victini, so maybe one of you that's a giant bird should give her a lift. I agree that we do need to go high, so we don't get recognized. But, I can't keep up with you, so I'll go separately. We should meet at the Pokemon Center on Cinnabar come nightfall."
While his plan made sense, it also gave him time to move in secret, hopefully off of Snow's radar. He would need Gil's help for this, since he seemed to be the most likely for Snow to contact if they weren't together. He needed to find out as much about the process in the journal as possible if he was ever going to fix this.
"What do you guys think?"

"You gonna go on your own?"
Gil raises an eyebrow. He is a bit worried about him, being a tiny target in the middle of the sky without the other three. But hey, if Luke wants to be suicidal, then who's Gil to say no. He runs his hand through his hair again and finally throws his hands up in the air.
"Alright, fine. To letting you go and I guess Articuno would be cold already so if she doesn't mind some static I guess I'll take her."

While Lina was more or less confident she wouldn't drop her charge... Gil was right, it wasn't like they were immune to the weather. There was nothing for it, then, and Lina apologetically answered, Yeah... L-let us know if you need a rest though, we should still make good time."
Luke made some good points; letting him go on his own was probably for the best. So Lina cautioned, "Just... Be careful then, Luke? It might be harder to sneak up on you, but there's nowhere to hide from an aggressive flock, either. And we'll need you in top shape to take out the last Bird..."

Luke grins, but there's no humor or laughter on his face. His eyes are... almost terrifying. "Wouldn't be the first time I've been ganged up on, and it won't be the last. I've just got new moves now." After a second he shakes himself out of... whatever that was, and gives Lina a genuine smile. "Don't worry about me guys. I'll be just fine."

With that, Gil, Lina and Luke all assume their flying forms, and Mildred grabs onto Lina. The 3 take off, and as expected Luke immediately lags behind. All three fly high to avoid being seen, but what are their individual destinations and what route do they take?

Luke decides, since he is the slowest flier, that he might as well enjoy a book while he goes. Specifically, the journal he picked up at the Mansion.

Luke starts looking through the sheets, though it's hard to make a lot of sense of them. The simplest of it are diary entries but he can't really work out what all this gestation and development wording is about. He's also having a very hard time holding onto them in the relatively high altitude winds. A sudden gust knocks a few free from his hand, but he manages to catch them all... he thinks.

Gil decides while they wait for Luke they should just circle a bit until it gets dark enough. It's going to be tiring, but it's better than having 'Oh hey why are Articuno and Zapdos here and hanging out' being a question among the populace.

After looking at the sheets and getting nothing from them, Luke stores them in his bag and resumes flying at his top speed. He can't match the birds, but being smaller things are less likely to notice him. If he weren't cured by the fates, he might even fly close to the water and enjoy the thrill of flying, but seeing as how wild pokemon despised him at the moment he would stick to the sky.

Luke manages to catch up to the others as they circle high in the sky. Below them they can all see the island with its lab, burned mansion, gym built onto a volcano, and other small building. It's hard to make out any but the largest buildings of course. Finally the sun sets.

Gil finally is able to land as it's dark enough to disguise their entry but not enough that he's a big beacon of light in the sky. He quickly transforms back as they land on the outskirts and rubs his arms.
"Never thought that I could use the 'just flew in and boy my arms are tired' joke and actually mean it..."

The town is quiet and dark. Nobody was out on the streets at this hour, so the group were safe to move as needed.

Luke looks around, frowning. "So uh... Remind me exactly why we're here? I kind of forgot while I was flying..."
