Thanks, Crewe.

Steven: That would be great, Helen.

I was thinking that we should go to the Relic Castle first. It's the closest landmark I know of. If we don't find anything, we'll return to the sub and go out again tomorrow.

-Coming to-

<Serperior: "Urgh... You all were most impressive out there... Especially the gator, that was one of the most spectacular techniques I've ever seen as a general...">

<Blastoise: "... So what do we do now?">

<Serperior: "Well, they did manage to defeat me... So I suppose that we surrender here... Inform all troops to withdraw for Azalea and do likewise, turn over all prisoners when they arrive...">

-To Luke and group-

<Magmortar: "W-Wait, wh-what are they going to do with us now?">

<Hydreigon: "The colonel does have a point, General. It's not as if Scolipede and Liepard will be conducting prisoner exchanges on behalf of us as you do with your opponents...">

<Serperior: "Why don't we hear what it is that they desire? We have surrendered, after all... And quite frankly, after that disgraceful use of our forces, I'd be ready to take a break from having to answer to our lords...">

-I glance at Hecate, who nods and leaves the room. An Illusion hides the sub-

Good idea. Should we go?

-nods-

Katan: <This is a desert, right?>

Yep.

Katan: <Is there a sandstorm?>

I think so. There was when I was up there earlier so Hecate could get a good look around for her Illusion.

Katan: <... Ugh.>

-Epona whacks him with the side of her horn, then turns to go. I recall both of them to clear the ladder and hallway and climb up-

Okay, let's go.

Does anyone have a Water-type Anom can ride until we get to land?

...Alright, look. From what my Pokemon tell me, you're not a jerk. Sure, you came and tried to conquer this region...But you tried to be nice about it.

Lake: <It makes me wonder why you were working for those two anyway. You don't seem like the kind of Pokemon that would agree with them.>

Anyway, as I'm sure you know already, there's that Samurott in Kanto right now who's...Well, kind of an Arsehole.

Flare: <And that's putting it lightly.>

Now, you have an army, and you probably don't agree with his methods. So...How about we go and kick his butt together, huh? You can refuse if you want, I don't want to put your troops in unnecessary danger, but you'd be a great help.

Hm... Well, Hermes knows Surf, but he's back in my room. I can go get him.

-Dope Slaps self- No need. I have Gyarados.

Oh, okay.

-absently fingers the handle of my recently-acquired slingshot-

Didn't want to bring him somewhere dangerous, anyway.

Thanks for the offer though. -smiles at her, then releases Gyarados into the water-

Okay...

-Climbs onto Gyarados-

Desert Resort

Dune: <Oh! They're coming on land!>

Patrol!Scrafty: <What do we do, captain?>

Dune: <Hmm...Our best way to gauge their intentions is to send a Pokémon down and see if they abide by "The Vow." Would anymon like to volenteer?>

-The Sandslash raises a claw.-

Dune: <Okay, what's your name solider?>

Patrol!Sandslash: <Sonic, sir.>

-If Dune had eyebrows, he would have raised one.-

Dune: <...All right, Sonic. When they come on land, I want you to go over to them and see how they react. Understood?>

Sonic: <Yes sir!>

-gets on Gyrados as well-

-To Lake-

<Serperior: "I took this position because our lo- Er... Scolipede and Liepard are dependent upon others to set the foundations for their rule. We generals in particular have quite a bit of say in who winds up controlling the places that are added to their domains. I figured that someone had to maintain a shred of honor and valor in this empire, lest it be left at the whims of the like of that ogre and that twerp...">

-To Luke-

<Serperior: "Oh yes, him... I've been waiting for an opportunity to give the ogre and his acolytes a piece of my mind... Heh. And, I don't believe that I'm terribly employable back in Unova at the moment...">

<Hydreigon: "What do we tell the troops, General?">

<Serperior: "All troops that are willing to enter this new theater are to report to me after the surrender. All others are to stay behind and await orders from whoever is to be left to preside over them in this region...">

-To Luke-

<Serperior: "I presume that you do need some assistance rebuilding, do you not?">

-shrugs, and climbs onto Gyarados, too-

-also climbs on, making sure to remember to pick up pebbles or something for ammo-

-Just continues sitting and thinking, has entered a mild meditative trance which is beneficial for the sorting out of multiple personality issues. A prime example would be the Black and White thoughts developing properly into my Original Timeline mind and my Alternate Timeline mind-

Azalea Town

Lake: <Oh...You were really going to do that?>

Stratus: <Now I'm starting to feel rather bad that we beat you up.>

Woolly: <I think we all are...>

Oh...You would really help rebuild? I'm sure everyone here would appreciate that.

Okay, so it's decided. We'll go to Kanto and kick that Samurott's behind. Together.

-In Azalea-

<Blastoise: "... How do we make it to Kanto again, General?">

<Serperior: "Well, unlike the ogre, we do still have a fleet... And Kanto isn't that far away...">

-To Luke-

<Serperior: "If you're aware of a faster way to travel, we'd also love to hear it...">

To the desert?

To the desert. -Gyarados swims toward shore-

-jumps off and releases Epona as soon as Gyarados reaches shore, moving off to clear the way for the others to climb off-
