She had heard of the storms and their effects, but she had also heard there were people trying to fix whatever the phenomenon was. Surely they can handle it, so it wasn't anything to worry about. No, there were far more important things at hand. There was an upcoming performance, and it was to be Riley's debut performance. Her very first one as part of Pastel's team. Though she hadn't quite gotten over the stage fright caused by her previous trainer. That is why Pastel had a stage very much like the ones used for performance events built into her Alolan home. 

She was on this stage alongside two of her pokemon. Riley and Bubbles, for they were to be her partners for the next performance. A spectacle of electricity and water, and they were getting really good at the practice sessions. Pastel could only hope that Riley would continue to do as well when it was time for the actual performance, but now wasn't the time to be thinking of such things, she had to focus on the task at hand, the finale.

"Just like we've been practicing! Bubbles, use whirl pool. Riley, use volt tackle and then psychic!" They both gave a nod of acknowledgement before going about their respective tasks. The Manaphy creating a whirlpool of water above it, while Riley built up an electrical charge around it's body, though the finale was not fated to finish, as Pastel and Riley vanished, leaving behind a rather confused Manaphy.

-moments later, in an unknown location-
Pastel blinked in confusion, she was standing in a dark room with purple lighting. From what she could see, there were others around her,
 the only one who really seemed to know what was going on was, from what she could decipher using the little light in the room, a man with white hair standing next to the legendary dogs...wait, what? Surely she must be seeing things, that was it. This was a kidnapping, and they had drugged her, so they must be illusions. She began to panic, completely ignoring what was being said, something about introducing and questions. One question popped into her mind, and she could help but blurt it out. "How much ransom are you demanding?" by this time,
 she had started hugging Riley, not even noticing two of her other partners had been brought with her, until she felt a tug on her skirt,
 looking over to see Sylla and Sharps, the latter of which pointed to the where the mystery man and legendary pokemon were, it's own way of telling her it wasn't a hallucination and that she was safe. Upon the realization, her face went from one of worry to one of embarrassment.

Olivia was starting to get bored with this whole 'prison' thing. The food was awful, and she didn't even get a cellmate. Something about having creeped out the last five so much. Honestly if they just let her have some fun once in a while she'd be less apt to 'creep',
 okay well probably not, but what would be the harm in a little fun. She sighed, at least she would have some time out of the cell today,
 having a court date meant she got to be around people, but more importantly that she might be able to have some fun with them. Lawyers always were the most fun, as she learned that most of them are easily scared and squirm quite a bit.
When a guard came to her cell, she already knew the drill, turning around and placing her hands behind her back so the guard would feel 'safer'. Honestly she didn't understand it, as it wasn't like she couldn't just turn around, the thought had crossed her mind multiple times, but she couldn't think of an actual plan for after that. Luckily, fate was on her side, this was not meant to be a court date,
 but rather an escape date. Moments after feeling the cuffs locking into place, the world faded, leaving behind the cell that had been her home for a good month or two.

This new location had awful lighting, but enough that she could make out a man standing between three legendary pokemon, certainly interesting. What really caught her attention was a smell, from one of the others gathered, they had brought food, more specifically noodles, and compared to prison food they smelled absolutely divine. Had she not been bound, she might have snatched them. Her attention brought back to the mystery man once he started to speak, at which point he mentioned bringing their partners, and looking behind her, napping contently in a pile of sorts were her three partners. Such a wondrous development.

She tapped the Absol lightly with her foot, gentle enough to not injure it, but with enough force she would be guaranteed it would wake. "If you would be so kind as to use night slash on these cuffs, I'll give you a nice treat once we're finished with-" she paused and looked at the male who seemed to be in charge "you said we're supposed to be saving the world or something? Is there anything in it for us? Can't really speak for the others, but I'm not much of a people person, so why should I care? I'd probably get more enjoyment from watching it than trying to stop it." While she was speaking, the Absol did as she asked, and used night slash her bindings, freeing her hands for movement.
