‘Alright!’ Lesley says, waving a bit as Eryn takes off. ‘Take care of my girl’s girl, will you?’

With that, Eryn could get her Pokémon healed and ready, she went off towards Route 5. She’d been on Route 5 before, so it wasn’t a sight that was that foreign to her.





Connected areas:
Lakewatch Town. Right behind you.
Stillwood Village. In the north lies the forest which hides the village, Mt. Strength lying behind it..
Route 6. Vast plains start in the south-east, this route leads towards Raremine Town.
Frozen Cavern. After an incline up to the ridge of Mt. Chill, a cavern of ice could guide the way to Route 9 and Cooldome City.
Endless Forest. To the south, a dark forest looms. There are no indications as to why you’d ever want to go there.



Here she could train against Caterpie, Deerling and Scatterbug, sometimes even seeing the somewhat rarer Pikachu, Bonsly and Emolga. This is assuming she kept her distance from the high-level Sawsbucks that were just walking around here and there on the route.



As long as she kept wary of Scatterbug’s Stun Spore, she did have some Pokémon well suited for training on this route. If she aimed specifically for the electric-types, she could train Peri pretty well, and the load of grass and bug-types made training Atha a breeze. The Pokémon here weren’t quite up to par with her higher-level Pokémon, but they got some experience in, too.

Dei grew to level 16! Dei learned Dragon Rage!
Kyllene grew to level 17! Kyllene learned Vice Grip!
Tula grew to level 16!
Erebi grew to level 16!
Peri grew to level 15! Peri learned Rage!
Atha grew to level 13! Atha learned Bite! Atha learned Dragon Breath!


Dei felt something inside him. Now, he can contain it if he wishes, to be released at a more appropriate moment. doing so mid-battle will immediately heal to full and give an increased likelihood of a moment of awesomeness

That, or he could release it right now.



But training here wasn’t her goal. She was aiming for a different, far colder place. As she headed closer to the mountain-range, Mt. Chill towered above her. There was a hill to climb before she could reach her destination, and the temperature quickly decreased with each step. As she stood before the maw, it was as if the cave itself was spewing out cold at her. Yet, she advanced. The cavern never really got dark, because there was light from the other side of the entrance, inviting her. At first, it was a bit of a normal cave, with some ice here and there showing purpose for the cave’s name. And then… the cave opened up.

Back there, Julian gathered his troops and called out his Kadabra. He looked back at Erika celebrating with her new Froslass… and then shook his head. ‘I guess… I’ll ask you if you want an adventure later… or something,’ Julian told the Pokéball containing Pitri. ‘I’m leaving. Take us home, Kadabra,’ he said, and then his whole team was teleported away. Ellyn took a moment to simply gaze at him as he disappeared… then just ‘hmpf’ed and looked back to the current conversation.

‘What? We can totally go to Bigfjord City. You think that city’s more than we can handle?’ Maple asked, frowning a bit at what the rest of them were talking about.

‘That’s beside the point… I don’t want to go there,’ Ellyn muttered.

‘Ah! Such a brilliant pure maiden to see the good in everywhere, and not listen to foul rumors!’ Joshua held a fist up in triumph, crying a small stream of tears of delight, or something. ‘I’m fine with anywhere! If you wish to prove the streets of Bigfjord City aren’t that bad, I’ll happily come along!’ he continued.

‘… That said, the point about Worldedge City being at the center is accurate. Any which works,’ Ewan said, looking ready to go.

Erika promised Machamp a future battle with Chic, and he just grinned happily and gave a thumbs up with one of his four hands. And they were ready to go.

‘Alright. One exit, this way,’ Elana said, pointing the way and the group started moving. She knew the way by heart, and as such simply walked ahead and they could walk on.

‘Hey, how come you guys are traveling together!? Also, me and Ellyn definitely need to head south to get to Freecape and Raremine, we haven’t gotten the badges from those!’ Maple was happy to speak on the way.

‘Oh, yes! In the height of everything, I forgot to say so, but thank you so much for your timely aid! Had you not been there, the villain would certainly have put his hands on the price! Thank you, my sweet bubbly maiden and cool noble lady!’ Joshua called back to Maple.

‘Aw, gee! It’s no problem! He’d chased off all the Fighting-types I was gonna fight!’ Maple promptly forgot what she’d asked about. She then came to a sudden stop. ‘Wait, I was supposed to fight Fighting-types! I totally forgot!’

Ellyn then walked into Maple from behind and gently pushed her walking forward. ‘You got to fight a giant metal death machine. How many can say that? Keep walking, you can fry Fighting-types some other time,’ she said. Then she also glanced partly towards Joshua… ‘… and… if you would forget you heard that part, I’d appreciate it.’

‘Ah, the class of a lady undercover! It would be my honor to protect your secret!’ Joshua said, and Ellyn just sighed.

‘Right, but as to why we’re traveling together… we ran into each other and decided to, I suppose,’ Ewan reply.

Random chatter aside, they walked through the rocky tunnels and eventually reached an opening. Light shone through, and as they stepped through, once again sunlight shone down on them. They’d arrived on a massive, green plain.



I do like the touch of the -1 you put on the Potion you used, hehe.

Lesley was a bit surprised to have Basil ask to talk to her more, but she was quick to smile to him again.

‘Oh, you got something else? Sure! I was sort of intending on flying, but we could talk on the way, sure!’ Lesley said. Still, it appeared that Basil was a little delayed by talking to Amelia, but it seemed to be a decently important conversation so Lesley was more than happy to wait for a bit. They could walk when they were done talking.

There wasn’t exactly anything particularly rare around here. As a rule, rare things don’t really live in towns. Otherwise there wouldn’t be much reason to leave towns. That said, Skylar insistently searched for something rare, and he found…



Pokédex Entry #347 – Anorith, the Old Shrimp Pokémon. It once swan in warm seas, it lives today only through reanimation from fossils. It hides behind rocks and then springs out with speed and clutches onto prey with its two large claws. While it once was a great swimmer with its eight wings, something in the water has changed and today’s water is inhospitable to it.


… an ancient Pokémon, crawling out of the grass over here, staring up at Skylar with a questioning gaze. Turns out, they have reanimated so many ancient Pokémon, there’s now some of them in the wild. How’s that for invasive species? Across time and space.

So, about finding a spunky Nincada. As long as he was spending around here, it was just a matter of time. Forge was training, when he suddenly faced a stubborn Nincada that started out by bursting out a Sand Attack while hidden within a tuft of grass. It then proceeded to continue throwing sand that got into Forge’s helmet and was really annoying, like the Nincada had found a weakness or something. Now, it was only level 12, so it’d obviously lose to Forge eventually… but it did pretty well and stood bravely against him, if that counts as being spunky enough.



Pokédex Entry #290 – Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. It is usually found underground, using its antennae to sense its surroundings. It gains nourishment by tapping into the roots of trees with its claws as it await evolution. They are nearly blind, and avoid sunlight due to inability to withstand it.


Was that enough for Skylar to want one?

That aside, he had no problem training his remaining Pokémon on the other creatures that lived here. So, Paradise was too high a level, but for the rest…

Pretzlcoatl grew to level 20!
Forge grew to level 20! Forge learned Aerial Ace!
Bejeebs grew to level 20!


Skylar gets the feeling his team cannot grow any stronger here.

That is, unless they come up with more creative ways to become stronger, like what Mac was trying! Flame Charge is a move that cloaks the user in fire and propels them, albeit it is usually assumed they are also propelling themselves. So it definitely wasn’t as easy as just jumping into the air and then triggering Flame Charge to change direction or providing an extra jump.

That said, it wasn’t nothing. Albeit Mac was unable to burst up into the air to touch Seabreeze, he was able to jump higher than normal by bursting it just as he jumped, and he could somewhat change his direction, especially if he also helped out with his would-be wings that definitely look more like arms. What they were attempting wouldn’t be achieved with a single day’s training, but there was something there. There was the basis for something that could be amazing in the future. Learning a new move that doesn’t come with the basic level-ups takes longer than a day of training.

There was something there. If they kept at it, they could make it into something.

For now, though, they’d probably gotten as far as they could for one session.

So, what would Skylar and co do now?

‘I’m fine with relocating to Connie’s Interdimensional Home. Since the one who I know is capable of breaking into it is invited, anyway,’ Mariette said, referring to Sonia. Though, the whole thing about “the one who opens a gate first” was silly, the only one who could open the way to Connie’s home from here was Connie. So with that in mind, Mariette turned and nodded to Connie. I’ll refrain from writing Mariette’s reaction to the place until she’s described it.

Meanwhile, there was MDP announcing that there was a person named Nykannis that could help them. Hearing that name, Ronin froze up a bit, while Miko continues.

‘How could she help us? Would she help us?’ Miko asked.

‘Wait, hold on. I know who that is.’ Ronin said, eyebrows raised at MDP. ‘She’s a self-proclaimed “queen of mad scientists” who once tried to turn me and Sakura into bloody paste with an army of killer robots because she wanted to run tests on a magic rock our friend had. Definitely not someone I would trust my back to, and I have a hard time imagining her helping us out in any capacity… But, er, how do you know her, MDP?’ Ronin asked, because it definitely didn’t sound like they were describing the same person.

Miko’s eyes widened a bit in realization, because Ronin definitely told Miko about that specific event in the past.

Later, when they arrived there was some more talk and Penny sent them a treasure trove of information. Mariette frowned as she gazed upon it, and then spoke.

‘If you’d like to do a precise strike, I can help. I’ve been in Wonderland before, I know the places on this map and can break the boundaries between worlds. If we’re going to strike at the various egg-locations, I can bring us there as well. Or if we want me to somehow try to negotiate with the Queen, serve as a distraction… I can do that, too. I am her daughter, according to her, after all.’ May as well try to use that to our advantage.

‘I prefer offense to defense. We could strike before they’re ready. But, before we talk about evacuation…’ Now Mariette probably breaks Pentius-04’s heart by turning to MDP. ‘You said this “Nykannis” could help secure the safety of the townspeople if it ends up being an attack. Can you confirm this and go ask this individual of this immediately? Will they require anything in turn?’ she really just wanted to put that part behind her as soon as possible.

‘Anyway. Let’s attack them first, strike their weak points and cripple their forces instead of fighting them on their terms. That’s what I say,’ Mariette said, no-nonsense.

‘I’ll see you when you come to pick up that challenge again!’ Kristy called happily, Sylvia gave him a nod, and then the two Gym Leaders were off to discuss things.

Since he stayed close, he found a bunch of the usual around here. Since he stayed close to town, the deep-sand and the far-plains Pokémon stayed away, but he did find some Pokémon around the trees. Unsurprising, perhaps, were the ground-type Pokémon, but there was also a surprising number of bugs. Oh, and a bunch of rabbits. Or hares. One of them.



Pokédex Entry #529 – Drilbur, the Mole Pokémon. They and Excadrills dig out mazelike nests underground in which they live. Drilbur is known for being able to travel very fast through soil, able to reach 30 mph by putting its claws together and spinning rapidly, drilling through earth. They’re known to be rather friendly around people.




Pokédex Entry #290 – Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. It is usually found underground, using its antennae to sense its surroundings. It gains nourishment my tapping into the roots of trees with its claws as it await evolution. Nincadas are nearly blind, and avoid sunlight due to inability to withstand it.




Pokédex Entry #664 – Scatterbug, the Scatterdust Pokémon. Using a dust which covers its body and regulates its body-temperature, it can live in any region or climate. If attacked, it can release a poisonous black powder which paralyzes upon contact.




Pokédex Entry #27 – Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon. It lives in arid regions burrowing deep underground. It emerges only to hunt for food, which it catches by lounging out of their burrows. If threatened, it curls into a protective ball and bounces off from enemy attacks. If it gets cold at night, its body will coat itself with a fine dew.




Pokédex Entry #659 – Bunnelby, the Digging Pokémon. Its ears are solid and serve as shovels which it uses to dig large burrows in which it lives. It is mainly nocturnal, and will dig throughout the night. Over the years the ears become stronger, and it becomes able to sever thick roots easily.


Training against the ground- and bug-types was, unsurprisingly, not very problematic for Skylar’s bird-team. Minus maybe Sandshrew’s Rollout. However, he did find most of his team a little overleveled for the Pokémon he had to contend with. So much so that quite a few of his Pokémon weren’t able to gain any levels.

That said, there were some here that could get levels. Especially Forge, who while maybe they needed to go back to the Pokémon Center to heal after repeated Mud-Slaps from Bunnelbys and Drilburs, plus perhaps some paralyzation from the Scatterbug Stun Spores, managed to level up a respectable amount.

Pretzlcoatl grew to level 19!
Forge grew to level 17! Forge learned Imprison!
Bejeebs grew to level 19!


So, what would Skylar do now?

The rest stood and watched as Erika took her price. From Joshua’s bright smile, Ewan’s gentle gaze, Julian’s defeated expression, Ellyn’s little pleased look and Elana’s satisfied exhaustion to Maple still not satisfied that the giant metal machine wasn’t a puddle of hot metal yet so she was still raining fire-attacks on it. Machamp smirked happily as Erika got what she wanted, and before her eyes the Dawn Stone touched Sno’s head.

Oh?

Light shone out, and the stone evaporated. Sno grew in size, gained the ability to float and became significantly more feminine.

Sno evolved into Froslass!




Pokédex Entry #478 – Froslass, the Snow Land Pokémon. An old legend claims a woman lost on an icy mountain was reborn as a Froslass. It freezes foes and prey solid, and brings them home to its chilly den to display as decorations. Their favorite food is frozen souls, which it consumes much like a carnivore. Handsome men are especially likely to be targeted.

‘Hear that? Better watch out, Ewan!’
‘What?’
Sno learned Astonish!

Sno got a new Ability! Ice Body was replaced with Snow Cloak! Boosts evasion when in hail or snow!


New Pokémon evolved! Erika earned 2000 P!


‘WOOOO! You did it!’ Joshua called, pulling off an impromptu victory spin and posing bent over with both hands pointing towards Erika.

‘Well done,’ Ewan simply nodded towards her. ‘And it was no problem. We benefited from the experience.’

‘Whew. Good to know I did my job,’ Elana commented with a light chuckle over there.

‘Congratulations. You deserve it,’ Ellyn said over there, smirking.

‘... I guess I’m done here. I’ll just… pick up my men and escape. I still have Kadabra with his Teleport…’ Julian said, wandering over to his small army of nerdy servants currently cowering with their fainted Psychic-types because they were surrounded by happy-looking burly Fighting-types.

Machamp was just standing looking proud.

‘Wow, all the Fighting-types came back! Cool! So, what’s going on here? Oh, wow! A Froslass! That’s cool,’ Maple came over all wide-eyed, and apparently hadn’t really been following what was going on.

‘Erika used a Dawn Stone to evolve her Snorunt into a Froslass,’ Ellyn gently explained.

‘Aaah. That is cool. Good job!’ Maple beamed happily.

Then Erika suggested eating… in Bigfjord City.

‘Oh, food! Yeah, I’m in!’ Maple called. Though, the others looked kinda…

‘In Bigfjord City? You got guts, I’ll give you that,’ Elana chuckled a little.
‘Nooooot sure that’s the best place,’ Joshua said.
‘I… don’t really want to go there,’ Ellyn mumbled.
‘That city’s going to eat you alive,’ Julian muttered audibly over there as he took out his Kadabra, preparing to Teleport.
‘Worldedge City is right next to it?’ Joshua followed up his previous statement with a suggestion, visibly trying to keep his smile up.
‘Bigfjord City is pretty famous as a place to avoid,’ Ewan told. ‘That said, I’m not opposed. Certainly safer than going alone.’

Now, as a citizen of Isson, Erika probably should have heard about the various stories of Bigfjord City, and the reputation it has due to gangs hanging around in there. Basically, there’s a reason why it is massively associated with the Dark-type.

That said, they totally could still go that way. What does Erika think?

‘Hmpf, fine, turn down free money,’ the noble muttered to Claire’s reply. Still, he turned to Dawkin, to see if he was more receptive. ‘How about you? Get me a Galarian Corsola, I get you 10,000P. It’s way more than the 2,000 you’d have to pay for it,’ he tried again.

Eugene didn’t notice Claire. He was too busy happily staring at Corviknight. One of the Skarmories did, however, notice her. It stepped a little uneasily.

‘Oh, wait, Kalmia?’ Zachery raised his eyebrows when the professor’s name was dropped, and walked over and picked up a notebook. He looked it through briefly, to a page with a couple photos that he’d apparently been sent. ‘Oh, yeah! You’re one of Kalmia’s trainers! Got it, then one free donation, coming right up!’ Zachery chuckled, before coming over again and listening to Claire’s request.

‘Stylish and speedy… but tricky and cute?’ Zachery’s one-eyed gaze steeled itself, as he gained a level of seriousness. Then, he smirked. ‘I know just the one.’

‘ELMA! MILA!’ Zachery turned and shouted to his two companions who were walking in and out of the ship to get Pokémon. ‘WE’RE HUNTING THE GREEN ONE!’

‘Ah, geesh,’ the more serious-one said, looking bothered. ‘At least we only need to do it one more time.’
‘Aw, I kinda liked having her around,’ the more playful-looking one said. ‘Oh, well. At least she should get a fun adventure!’

The three of them ran off into the ship. For a bit, there was no noise other than them running around below deck… until…

‘THERE SHE IS!’ there was suddenly a shout under deck, and then chaos ensued. There were noise of people throwing themselves and their Pokémon left and right, numerous cries of sudden pain, and a couple shouts of ‘SHE’S GOING THAT WAY!’

This went under several minutes, until finally Zachery was heard.

‘RIGHT, THAT’S IT’ … Quickly followed by the enormous roar of what definitely sounded like a dragon of some sort and then a quick smash.

A couple seconds later the three of them came out again. The serious girl looked bothered, the more playful one looked like she was in a giggling fit. Both of them looked a bit exhausted and had a couple of scratch-marks here and there. In the lead Zachery stepped forward towards Claire, his expression content, his clothes had tears from tiny claws here and there.

‘How about this one?’ he asked, and lifted up a living creature with his non-hook hand. In his hand he was holding a green cat around its torso, which stared with the most innocent expression imaginable towards Claire, despite the havoc it just caused.



@Eklispe

After Claire, it was Dawkin’s turn!

‘Now then! What will it be for the next young man?’ Zachery asked, turning to Dawkin, who was just behind Claire in the queue.

‘And that’s match! Good job, the both of you!’ Lesley called happily.

Basil was victorious! Basil gained 3194P for winning!

Eryn didn’t lose anything.

‘Well, I think it’ll be a while before you’re ready to challenge me, Major League Gym Leader and all, but maybe try your luck in Stillwood Village? Maybe Highhill Town? Raremine Town? Redcoast City? Freecape Town? Haha, that should be all the Minor League Gyms of the Southern Landmass,’ Lesley chuckled a bit. ‘Anyway, I actually do have other things I need to worry about. This has been fun, but unless you got any further questions for me, I should be off!’ Lesley said, and did wait a bit to see if they did have anything else to say to her.

With that done, they would be ready to move again.

Kristy brightened up substantially as Skylar accepted their help.

‘Great! You saved my bacon from being arrested by my best friend, so I’m more than happy to help!’ the gym-leader was quite eager. Then, for that last question… ‘Don’t you worry about that! Let me just make a few calls…’ Kristy said, retrieving a phone and starting to talk.

‘… Hm. I’ll be right back,’ Sylvia said before suddenly darting off, leaving Kristy a little stunned but she was on the phone so she wasn’t able to question it too much. Sylvia’s Seviper slithered after her. The snake was pretty fast.

‘No, I don’t need another doll, not right now, anyway, I want a white cane, roughly… how long?’ Kristy asked, looking to Skylar. Assumingly he could answer, so Kristy turned back and said it. Eventually she got some reply and brightened up. ‘Excellent. We’ll come pick it up right away!’

With that, Kristy was quick to end the call, say ‘This way!’ and lead Skylar along the town, assumingly helped along by his Pokémon. Kristy escorted him to a warehouse, where after discussing something with a couple dudes, they’d retrieved something from their storages somewhere and Kristy eventually came back to him.

‘How about this one?’ Kristy offered him a cane. For the sake of convenience, let’s say it’s perfect.

Then Sylvia came walking, Seviper still sliding along behind her. She offered something to Skylar. ‘Here you go. Glasses your size,’ Sylvia said, offering a couple.

‘Hehehe, of course the cool girl knows where to get cool glasses. Nicely done Sylvia!’ Kristy chuckled.

‘I, um, need them for disguises, sometimes,’ replies the slightly embarrassed Sylvia.

Anyways, that was that. What would Skylar do now?

Lesley looked from kid to kid as they weren’t exactly talking to her all the time, but Eryn sure was, and she smiled at Eryn’s reaction.

‘What, you know the guy? Heh, small world, I guess,’ Lesley said with a little chuckle. And then about not minding being interrogated. ‘Good, you’re an understanding one. Good girl,’ she nodded with satisfaction at them.

Then there was Basil taking a call. Kalmia on the other side spoke her part, and when Basil replied…

‘I’m so happy you’ll help! I was a bit worried about sending just Amelia. If you ever have a favor or so to ask me, I’ll definitely see if I can do something in turn… Wait, she’s there?’ Kalmia looked a bit stunned. ‘Oh, hi, Amelia! I wanted to give some backup, in case you’d want it! And hi, Eryn!’ That was probably enough, before Basil turned the dex back. ‘Tell me how it goes! I’ll see you later!’ Kalmia reported before the call ended.

Lesley stood there looking amused until Basil made his request…

‘You want me to ref your battle?’ Lesley asked, then smirked. ‘Sure. Then let’s head to the back! Pokémon Centers have places in the back where one can fight if one absolutely has to!’ I am just going to insert that the battle arenas for link cables are canon for convenience.

@Gardevoiran I did have a little scene I wanted to write. I have now written it. Now you can do what you like. And I can now also add Sylvia to the character list, hahahaha.

@Pirouette I do think that battle was already cleared. Anyway, yeah. Remember that we're using ORAS learnsets in the future. No worries about that, otherwise. I feel this scene has been cleared. So. There you go.

@hatakekuro@Joshua Tamashii I did detect some awkwardness in trying to make these awkward individuals interact. So I thought I'd throw some insentive into the mix. Of course, if either of you don't want to, then there's absolutely no need for Basil to help Amelia out. But I thought it could make the scene more amusing, hehehe. Oh, and @Typical is there, too, of course.

@Eklispe@Rune_Alchemist There you go. I've moved you to Stalford's Ferry. There's a couple scenes here, just because. You'll need to point out to Zachery that you're one of Kalmia's trainers to get your free Pokémon. And that's about that.

‘Thank you, once again,’ Leila said, before turning and following Dunstan.

Skylar didn’t have that much to say to the people gathered, but before he leaves, there’s a little scene.

With everything else solved, Sylvia walked up to Kristy, who smiled as she approached.

‘So, uh. I’m sorry, restraining you wasn’t part of my list of things I wanted to do. It’s just, I was under orders to-’ Sylvia started, somewhat awkwardly talking to Kristy. Kristy replied by interrupting her with a hug.

‘Aww, I know you didn’t~! There’s no way you’d betray me~!’ Kristy called, very clingy and happy.

‘Y-yes, yes…’ Sylvia didn’t seemed a bit uncomfortable with the tight hug, but nonetheless embraced back. ‘I didn’t think you’d hold it against me, but on principle I wanted to apologize…’

‘Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Pay for dinner and we’ll call it even and make you feel better, okay~’ Kristy said, smiling. ‘Oh, hey, kid!’ Kristy suddenly called, turning towards Skylar. ‘If you’re hunting badges, maybe you can catch another one here? Besides being “special investigator” whatever, Sylvia here’s also the Poison-type Gym Leader of Goldshore Town! She might just be here to visit me, but it might be your golden chance!’

‘Oh, no,’ Sylvia shook her head. ‘If he wants that badge he’s going to need to find me in the Gym in Goldshore Town,’ Sylvia said. ‘And… I wasn’t really here for you, I was here because to investigate as investigator…’

‘But you were happy to come here to see me at the same time, right~?’ Kristy asked with a big smile.

Sylvia was silent for a small second. ‘… Yes.’

‘Haha, there you go,’ Kristy laughed a little.

‘Right. That aside. Do you need a new cane and glasses? Do you want help?’ Sylvia asked, clearly concerned about the poor blind kid.

‘Oh, yeah. If you want a guide, I know my own town!’ Kristy offered.

Otherwise, Skylar could walk off with Forge. To say he’d get a bunch of looks from astounded Raremine Town citizens would be an understatement. Sure, it happened sometimes that strangers came walking with impressive Pokémon, but nobody here’s ever seen or heard of a Type: Null before!

Erika turned around with Chic, intending to join further fighting, but…

‘Don’t worry about that. It’s been handled.’

Erika spun around to see Elana arriving at the scene, looking kind of dirty from all the battle she’d gone through. She was carrying her tired Slurpuff on her back, and arriving along with her was a whole horde of satisfied-looking Fighting-types, a lot of them looking scuffled from some form of battle.

And since it was a while ago, here’s pictures of everyone.



Besides that, her battle wasn’t the only battle that had been concluded.

‘Woooo! Good job, Pikachu!’ Joshua cheered as his Pikachu had just shocked Allan’s Growlithe to faint.



‘There we go. You don’t stand a chance against us, Team Amethyst!’ Ewan told as Theresa the Treecko knocked out Mia’s Minccino.



‘Th-they got us! And there’s more of them coming!’ Mia called out in alarm, returning her last Pokémon.

‘Drat,’ Allan said, doing the same while frowning. ‘This’ll look bad on our records, but… Escape Ropes!’



‘On it!’ With that, the two Team Amethyst members threw out their ropes, they attached to something and pulled both of them straight up into the ceiling and teleported them out of the scene.

Besides that, the small army of Psychics lay stunned and overwhelmed. Standing above their horde of fainted Psychic-Pokémon stood the king Machamp, flexing and grinning.

‘Ma-champ!’ he gave Erika a single thumb’s up while all the other arms were flexing.



Pokédex Entry #68 – Machamp, the Superpower Pokémon. It is known as the Pokémon that can supposedly throw 1000 punches in two seconds. Machamps are masters of many martial arts, and with four arms it can strike at many unexpected angles. They’re very quick to action, don’t think before they leap, and are absolutely terrible at any form of delicate task.


‘YOU ARE SO COOKED!’ Maple shouted out at the giant drilling machine, which after a continued barrage by her now tired-looking Fire Pokémon the metal drill had just melted and its crew evacuated as the metal was somehow on fire.



As for the parts that Erika told Julian…

‘... Bah,’ was the only reply Julian gave, looking deflated.



‘I hope you learned your lesson,’ Ellyn said, still standing blocking the way to the throne and the stone for Julian. Julian frowned and turned to glare at her.



‘... Why… why are you standing over there? Why are you helping them? You’re a noble… like me…’ Julian asked Ellyn… who tightened her fists a little.

‘In case you couldn’t tell by what I’m wearing, I’m not exactly trying to broadcast where I came from… but fine. True, originally I didn’t see much reason to put much effort into anything, but…’ she then looked over towards Maple, who was still making sure that the metal machine would never drive again. ‘… This journey has started to teach me that there’s some things worth fighting for. That aside, I think it’s time to present the victor her reward.’

As she spoke, the king Machamp came walking. He stepped right by Erika, Julian hurriedly got out of his way and Ellyn freely stepped aside. Then, one of his mighty arms gripped the stone embedded in the throne, pulled it out with one mighty stroke, then turned back to look at Erika. He grinned at her.

‘The mountain king is thankful for your warning, and has seen fit to reward your efforts,’ Elana translated/interpreted.

Following Elana’s words, Machamp held forth the one of his many hands that held the stone, presenting it to Erika to do as she willed with…

Erika obtained Dawn Stone!

Basil’s Pokédex suddenly made a sound, as he’d gotten a voice message. Or, in case he answers immediately, it can be a call.

‘Heeey, Basil! How’s your Pokémon journey coming along?’ Kalmia’s voice would come from the Pokédex if he chose to play it. ‘Just in case you were wondering, I got your Pokémon over here! Whenever you put a Pokémon in the PC, I can take them out here! You don’t mind if I take them on a couple walks, right?’ Pretty much simultaneously he got a message that was just a picture of Kalmia smiling at him with Sabbah, Aria, Pamina and Titus in whatever fashion you feel fits them.

‘Right, I actually had a different thing I wanted to talk to you about,’ Kalmia said, suddenly looking a bit more serious. ‘There’s another little trainer of mine. Her name is Amelia. She’s a young little ghost-specialist, who I have high hopes for. Thing is, she came to me with a request; she wants to be able to bring all her Pokémon with her at the same time. Unfortunately, they’re more than six, and the laws of the Pokémon box-system forbids bringing more than six Pokémon at once. … But do they really need to?’ Kalmia gave a smile.

‘I see no reason for stopping this little darling from bringing all her friends with her. But, unfortunately, that’s one of the oldest rules of the Pokémon world that we’re trying to break, here. And, well. We’re not doing that without the permission of the one who owns the Pokémon Storage System in Isson… You know the one,’ Kalmia said. And just in case Basil didn’t know… ‘We need the permission of David, master of the Private Palace, owner of both the Pokéball Factory and the Power Station… yeah.’ Just pretty much the most famous noble in Isson. Because, for regular people, they go to the PC where they deposit Pokémon and see “David’s PC”. You guys see “Kalmia’s PC”, though, because she has a little off-shoot PC-system only used by her trainers.

‘I’m not entirely sure what’ll take to make him agree to this, but I did send Amelia to go on a quest to go to his house and ask. You know, because a little girl asking tugs on the heartstrings better than if I show up and do it. I wanted to ask if you perhaps could head with her? You may be better suited to telling Amelia what to expect. I am, of course, not forcing you to do this. But, if you want to help, I could give Amelia a call and find out where she is right now…’

Of course, by sheer coincidence, Amelia’s right there beside Basil. Oh, and Eryn, too.

Dunstan simply waved to them then sat back, studying the sample again.

‘… Later, then,’ Cathia said with a small wave.

So, the two of them, Claire faster than Dawkin on account of having a Mach Bike, headed out of the lab and also out of town towards Route 6.



However, that was not their destination. Instead, they headed east. Once again, one a bit faster than the other. Still, they came upon something that looked like a dock. They reached their destination. A powerful ship awaited them.

‘I won’t say what happens, but it’s really cool!’ Ronin replied, not about to end Lily’s hopes and dreams.

Lily, predictably, announced that she wouldn’t let Mariette die.
‘I won’t, either. Thank you,’ Mariette replied. She had kind of figured, but Lily’s words didn’t exactly instill confidence.

Binky appeared, and spoke a bunch.

MDP said she knew someone who could potentially do that thing Ronin and Miko suggested. One of them.

‘Oh? Who’d that be?’ Miko asked with interest, albeit maybe they should do that relocating first, or something.

People listed their requirements for accepting the Mint on this, but Mariette didn’t have anything to say. Honestly, she was just happy nobody was putting requirements on her. No reason to bring attention to herself on that point. Lily asked her to open a portal to the Sanctuary.

‘If there are no kinds of blocks that prevent my portals from reaching in,’ Mariette said, because there sure were such on Beacon HQ, but… well. Chloe said her part and momentarily teleported out. Meaning Mariette probably couldn’t portal them anywhere yet.

‘I could simply place us in the deepest ends of the Overcity. Or on a beach in an alternate dimension nobody here has ever heard of. Would be a problem for latecomers, but I could seek out and bring everybody relevant if you give their names,’ Mariette said. Regardless, if people ever agreed on a place to go she could probably take them there.

Dunstan nodded to Dawkin’s statement of keeping in touch, and then to his next question…

‘Route 16, huh,’ Dunstan remarked. ‘It’s pretty much the most dangerous Route in Isson, crossing those haunted waters is no joke for someone who doesn't have strong enough Pokémon to back them up. No worries, Stalford’s Ferry exists to let young trainers cross the waters safely… though I believe he only lets you cross if you have Kristy’s Gym Badge, thereby proving you’re strong enough to defend the ship should something happen,’ Dunstan commented, possibly changing Dawkin’s plan of what to do next.

Meanwhile.

‘Ep-!’ Cathia flinched at being poked by Claire, startled out of her gloomy thoughts just a bit. Still, she was more than happy to exchange information, and with Claire heading to Bigfjord… ‘I wish you luck. I’ll also head in that direction, after some training. If something happens, or if you’re planning to make your move… let me know. Unfortunately, Team Amethyst knows my face, so I don’t know if I can invade them freely now, but if you find me some coordinates… I can strike,’ Cathia said with determination.

That’s though, when Dunstan thought of something else to tell Dawkin.

‘Though, now that I think about it. I believe Zachery’s ship is currently docked right next to the coast there right now, so if you go right now you might catch him there,’ Dunstan then said, loud enough that Claire probably heard it, too. The both of them might remember Zachery’s name from Kalmia’s message from not that long ago, and could also thereby know what heading to him might result in.

Would this change their current plans?

Sylvia listened to Skylar’s request, and nodded.

‘Toxicroak, help carry the Pokémon,’ Sylvia commanded, and the blue frog excitedly jumped over, keeping its red claws away as it used its Fighting-type strength instead to heave up Type: Null on its shoulders. Sylvia picked up a phone and made a call. ‘The true culprits are captured. They’re Team Amethyst. The Pokémon is safe, but damaged. I’m bringing it to the Pokémon Center,’ she said, before looking to Skylar. ‘C’mon, let’s go.’

With the two criminals handled by the actual police-officers, Sylvia could instead handle helping Skylar and Type: Null back to the Pokémon Center of Raremine Town. With the criminals properly cuffed, her Seviper was instead slithering behind them as they headed through the streets, keeping an eye out in case someone else wanted to get a piece of them.



The nurse was quick to come retrieve the Pokémon, and probably Skylar’s too. With that, they were left to wait. While they were waiting, the door opened and numerous individuals came through. It was Dunstan, Leila and Kristy, the latter currently in cuffs and with two police officers with her.



‘You saved the Pokémon!?’ Dunstan asked, all agitated. Sylvia smiled back to him.

‘Yes. All thanks to this young Pokémon Trainer here, without whom I wouldn’t have known where to go,’ Sylvia said, presenting Skylar here beside her. Seviper also made a gesture towards him with its tail.

‘Skylar… I’m in your debt,’ Dunstan said, bowing to him again.

‘Yea, thanks for that! Because that means I’m not guilty, right?’ Kristy asked with a grin, and Sylvia nodded towards the two police officers, who then brought out the keys and uncuffed Kristy, who immediately started stretching in delight.

‘It’s your own fault, you know. Your little “rescue missions” made you a prime suspect,’ Leila frowned at Kristy, but Kristy just shrugged.

‘Love, I really don’t want to argue about that right now. Thank the boy instead,’ Kristy said, just smiling. Leila frowned at being called “love”, but otherwise shook her head then looked to Skylar.

‘As Dunstan said, we’re in your debt. Thank you,’ Leila also said, nodding to him.

Here I could probably end the post and let Skylar reply, but I do know what will happen right after.

Glory came in, and with Detect he perfectly avoided Marill’s Rollout! And for whatever reason, that completely stopped all of Rollout’s momentum! After that, it was just a matter of Wing Attack, which did more damage than Marill could withstand. It tried to Rollout again, which hit once before Glory Detected again, making it never get any speed, and so Glory secured the win with another Wing Attack.

Glory grew to level 16! Glory learned Aerial Ace!


‘I must find more Pokémon that can learn Rollout,’ Boey sagely nodded, for that must have been the reason he lost. Not enough Rollout.

Basil was victorious! Basil gained 211P for winning!


Now, back to the present!

So, Atha shared her little story, and the armored woman went from the serious look she had to first a slightly surprised one, and then to a smiling amused one.

‘Uh-huh. Ooo. Wow!’ she said, at varying points that sounded appropriate while nodding her head. Of course, she couldn’t actually talk Pokémon, but regardless she picked up on the most important thing. ‘Sounds good! Well, it seems I have nothing to worry about!’ she said, and then…

A Hawlucha burst into the scene, followed by an apologetic Basil. The woman took a moment to look between Amelia+Phantump and Basil+Glory…

‘Wow, deja-vu. You two wouldn’t happen to know each other?’ she chuckled. ‘It’s fine, let Pokémon be Pokémon, I’d say! So, did you want a duel? I totally can give you a duel!’ she responded to Glory, raising her fists excitedly and chuckling. ‘Or should I leave this one to you, Bagon?’ she asked Atha.

That’s when a random trainer walked into the Pokémon Center, saw the woman, and immediately spoke up with a big smile.

‘Ey, Lesley! Funny to see you playing with Pokémon here. Don’t you have a Gym to look after?’ asked the random Pokémon Trainer. The armored woman chuckled, relaxed the stance, then answered him.

‘I would have, but I just had a REALLY tough challenger, took all I had to win this once. He’s probably gonna win next time, because unlike me, he can adjust and adapt his team, haha. Anyway, I took a moment to take a break by wandering the Wet Caverns, and…’ her eyes wandered to Eryn, smirking.

‘Alright, it’s a little late, but hi! I’m Lesley, Major League Dragon-type Gym Leader of Lakewatch Town and also the leader of the Lakewatchers, the guys looking out for the dragons around here. How do you do?’ she said, smiling. ‘Sorry for not saying anything, it was a little funny with you not knowing who I was. I also wanted to make sure Bagon’s fine with you. But, after hearing what Bagon had to say and with you being one of Kalmia’s trainers and all, I figure you’re fine! Hahaha!’

After saying so, she reached and happily patted Eryn’s shoulder with an armored hand.

‘Right, did you want a duel!?’ she asked, spinning back around to Glory, fists raised!

So Paradise did take that Ember from Vulpix and Mac took a Karate Chop of Mankey, taking some damage but they’d still be alright. However…

Skylar returned Mac, saving him from Excadrill’s charge. Mankey and Vulpix wasn’t as lucky, Excadrill knocking the both of them to the sides, the two Pokémons crying out as they flew aside!

However, Excadrill charged forward, and the two remaining combatants on Skylar’s side did their thing. Paradise blasted out a Sweet Scent, making Excadrill less evasive, that plus all the other bonuses to accuracy… but honestly, Excadrill wasn’t even dodging in the first place, and Seabreeze successfully Supersoniced the giant metal mole! … But Excadrill seemed unbothered, charging all the way forward towards Type: Null!

Meanwhile, in the background, Vulpix was slowly coming around, struggling to stand up, looking a bit confused and trying to figure out what just happened… And then Pretzl bounced into the scene and knocked it in the head with a rock. Vulpix promptly fell over and fainted!

Pretzlcoatl grew to level 16!


‘EXCADRIIIIIIIII-!’ The big mole Pokémon, however, was still charging. It was Confused, yet undeterred! It charged in at full speed, and Type: Null wasn’t moving, merely awaiting the incoming giant mole. Excadrill quickly came close enough to attack, raising one metal arm-spike to stab down at the masked Pokémon…!

When Skylar jumped in, trying to push Type: Null out of the way!

Type: Null looked startled, and was indeed pushed out of the way. That’s when, the still confused Excadrill proceeded to stab downwards with the blade, not even knowing what he was aiming for! For a moment, it looked like it had been a very bad idea, like Skylar was about to be struck by the giant mole…

When Type: Null actually leapt, straight into the way that Skylar had just pushed him out of. Specifically, he struck his own helmet straight into Excadrill’s blade…

klang

… and the helmet proved impervious to harm. The blow was stopped short, and a gust of wind blew off the impact right in all directions. All motion had come to a stop, helmet against blade. So much so that maybe nobody noticed when the door opened just a little to Skylar's right. Nothing moved for a second or two…

‘EXCA-!’ the Excadrill shouted, weaving around to strike with its other arm at Type: Null…!

A blue blur suddenly smashed into the Excadrill from the side, sending the whole mole flying with a cry into the wall on the side, saving Skylar and the quadreped from being struck once again!

The Pokémon before them was blue, frog-like, with a red sac under its face and holding out a fist with a red claw that it had just struck Excadrill with.



Pokédex Entry #454 – Toxicroak, the Toxic Mouth Pokémon. The red sac on its throat contains toxins, which it sends along tubes in its arms into its crimson claws. When it croaks, it churns the poison in the sac for greater potency. It is known to sway and dodge enemy attacks to finally lunge in to scratch with its claws. A single scratch is said to be enough to knock out any opponent.


The Toxicroak had leapt from the open door, where the pink-haired girl from the incident before now stood, with numerous police-officers around her.

‘Special Investigator Sylvia, reporting. Team Amethyst Grunts, you are hereby under arrest,’ the girl said with resolution.



‘Crap, it’s Sylvia!’ called the female Amethyst grunt, suddenly scrambling to get onto her feet.

‘Nu-uh! No way! I am NOT getting captured in this- AH!’ ‘GAH!’

The two grunts all of a sudden didn’t have much of a chance when the girl’s Seviper descended on them with a snap, swirling around them and acted as rope as it knocked them together with the sheer force of the noose tightening around them and successfully tied them together, knocking both of them out because their heads knocked together as it tied them to one another. Seviper hissed triumphantly.

All of that may have happened, but to Skylar, what happened was that Type: Null still stood motionless in front of him. Slowly, the creature turned around to look at him… and there was something new in its gaze. Something respectful, thankful.

That is, before Type: Null suddenly collapsed towards Skylar, because it still took a Level 50 Excadrill Metal Claw to the head.

Toxicroak stood eyeing Excadrill intently, just in case it was about to get up. It wasn’t. The battle was won.

Seabreeze grew to level 22! Seabreeze learned Air Cutter!
Paradise grew to level 21! Paradise learned Whirlwind!
Mac grew to level 20! Mac learned Flame Charge!
Pretzlcoatl grew to level 18! Pretzlcoatl learned Ancient Power!


With the criminals tied up and the police officers going around picking the Amethyst grunts and their Pokémon, the girl that had just invaded walked up to Skylar and the fallen Type: Null.

‘I must thank you. I was only able to find this place and find the true perpetrators because you led the way. I’m Sylvia. I’m a special investigator from the Pokémon League, it’s my job to look into it when things happen. Are you two okay?’ she asked, looking towards Skylar and then to Type: Null with concern.

What did Skylar and co want to do?

Crocus attempted to Sleep Powder again! … For whatever reason, it failed to afflict the rolling Marill, who simply thundered through it! It smashed once again into Crocus once again…!

And the gods of fortune were extra fickle today. Critical Hit! Crocus fainted!

Marill was still rolling about the battlefield, gaining even more power, and the crowd was now calling Boey’s name as he stood there with arms crossed, looking smugly towards Basil.

What was Basil’s next move?

<then we can say you went to the Pokémon Center after that>

‘Oh, I don’t think you’re gonna need that much to train a dragon-type. They’re known to cause a ruckus, but, anyway. Bagons in specific have a strange need to fly built into their minds, so maybe not let it be next to a cliff, or you’re going to need to find a way down to pick it up. Don’t worry about them hurting themselves, though. They’re tough enough to shatter boulders, and often do just that for stress-relief. They love headbutting everything and anything. Do be careful or they just may do so with the walls of a building, haha,’ the woman laughed, when Eryn asked for tips how to raise a dragon.

So, after some wading and getting their legs a bit wet in the Wet Caverns, they eventually arrived back to:

And, for Amelia, following them also eventually led her back to:



Now, before the woman and Eryn momentarily parted, both of them were startled by the cry of Phantump.

‘WHAC-!?’ the armored woman flinched and spun around, staggering away with wide eyes, apparently not having expected the shock. A couple random Pokémon Center goers laughed around them at their reactions to being startled. ‘W-wha. Ghosts. In the middle of the city. Not safe anywhere, huh? I thought I could let my guard down here, hahaha,’ she laughed, though, smiling as she held a hand to her chest, trying to get her heart to calm down through the armor.

Anyway! Eryn called Atha back out! Atha looked, and found this woman…

Notably. To Atha, this woman is basically her second mother. Or aunt, maybe. She was there when their eggs hatched. She comes by often and plays with the various dragons of Dragon Lake and Wet Caverns. She gives them food and headbutts with them. Takes care of them when they’re hurt. Protects them if they’re in trouble. All of those things one could imagine someone doing.

‘Heeeey, Bagon! How are you doing? Want to headbutt?’ the woman grins and asks Atha, putting on her helmet again while crouching and grinning to Atha. Atha’s free to interact as she likes, and the woman would comply. But the woman was definitely intending on playing with Atha a bit, after having handed over the other two Bagons to the nurse.

But, in the midst of it, the woman looked more serious.

‘Hey, I heard this girl caught you,’ she said, and then looked… very serious. ‘Did you actually want to go with her? Or did she catch you without you wanting her to? Just give me the word, and I’ll handle her. Just give me the word, and I’ll make her-’ and what followed were a couple words in a row that together painted a picture of a scene that Quentin Tarantino would have been forced to censor. ‘… So, do you actually want to go with her or not?’

How does Atha reply?

Of course, Basil over there will have seen the whole thing.

In the meantime, Eryn and Amelia can keep talking, if they wish.

‘Er, I don’t, I don’t know that much…’ Cathia replied to Claire’s question. ‘I just know, uh, exactly what noble family she’s from and what they do. That family runs a big company that makes props for Pokémon Contests, as well as other toys for Pokémon, and they fund the Dreamer Studios. The Cute Queen, Valerie, is her big sister… but Isabella has been disowned by her family. She wasn’t willing to take over the business, so she went on a Pokémon journey. So far nothing out of the ordinary, but after that we don’t know what exactly happened, but she evidently fell in with the wrong crowd.’

‘She was identified leading Team Amethyst grunts in bigger raids, and with her fearsome battle prowess she was able to let them slip away time and time again. When she’d been identified by name, she was disowned by her family, but as far as we can tell, she doesn’t care. While the Team Wars ended with Amethyst’s defeat and they sunk back into the shadows, Isabella was never captured. Nor was the boss of Team Amethyst, whom… whom we still don’t know who they are,’ Cathia explained.

‘Team Amethyst works in layers. In the bottom layers are the grunts. They do minor tasks and usually don’t even know why they’re doing things. Over them are the Elites, who lead grunts on more important missions. There’s been many elites over the years, and they seem to come and go. Over them, are at least two Admins, one of whom is Isabella,’ Cathia apparently had more to say.

‘From the outside, the Team Amethyst business model is simply to allow people to purchase Pokémon from them. Someone gives them money and a specific request for a Pokémon, and they obtain it for them. If that was all it was, it’d technically be legal, but unfortunately they have nothing against hunting rare Pokémon to the edge of extinction or even steal them from trainers if they can. They had these terrible auctions, too… But surely, they have even more sinister intentions, seeing how they’re now apparently gathering aspects of legendary Pokémon,’ Cathia said… and now all of a sudden she realized she might have been rambling a bit.

‘… I would like nothing else than to see Team Amethyst destroyed. Raised to the ground. Utterly annihilated. That… that would be good,’ Cathia said, getting kind of quiet towards the end, there.
