Wow, those black clouds looming in the distance were sure welcoming. Basil bought an umbrella from the stall because the last thing he needed was to look like a Furfrou that was just taken out of a bath.

As he walked to the entrance of the route, he saw the sign warning about the Drifloons in the area. Those stories were actually true? Basil had thought it was just a myth that parents tell their kids when they misbehave, not an actual case of children being kidnapped and never seen again! For as peaceful their world is, it was just plain creepy at times.
