Not a lot.

Jab: <It's boring here.>

You?

I thought I'd get in some practice since I don't know where we're going next. -holds up her sword-

O.O

Jab: <Cool!>

On televisions across Hoenn there was a news flash detailing a story of organized and violent Whismur, lead by Loudred, combing over the region in search for something and harming anything that gets in their way. The report said to avoid them at all costs and do not attempt to capture them for any reason. Parisse sighed. "Well at least they're warning people. Anyone who tries to take them on are stupid.." muttered Parisse as he gave Seaspray some fish.

Route 101

-Me and my mons regroup near Oldale Town.-

"Any luck so far?"

Guardé: <No. All we have managed is to frighten most of the wild Pokémon population.>

Harriet: <We did find somemon, but it isn't Stratus.>

-Harriet gestures at Zoltan.-

"Zoltan?"

Lake: <Oh. Well, good job anyway. Wouldn't want him wandering around by himself.>

Chord: <Not wandering. Flying. There's a difference.>

Lake: <...Right.>

Woolly: <What are we going to do? I'm really starting to get worried now...>

"...Perhaps...We might need some back-up here."

Treeo: -Tilts head.- <...Back-up?>

A few minutes later, outside of the Oldale Town Pokémon Center...

Harriet: <Why didn't we think of this sooner?>

Flare: <Ssh! He needs to concentrate!>

Harriet: <Oh. Sorry.>

-A certain Lucario is using his Aura Power to see if he can sense Stratus nearby.-

Wulfric: <...> -Makes some gestures.-

Chord: <What's he saying?>

Flare: <He says that there's quite a lot of Aura about, and it'll take him some time to pinpoint Stratus specifically.>

Chord: <Oh, right.>

Guardé: <I see.> -To Woolly.- <Doesn't he ever speak?>

Woolly: <He used too, but now he just has Flare talk for him. He's shy, you see.>

Guardé: <Oh...>

Anyway, that can wait.

Nudi: -To Thog- <Do mating serenades count as poetry?>

Tropius: <Those squeals count as serenades?>

Steel: -Aside- <Don't Weavile have hunting as a mating ceremony or something?>

Gaia: <That's what I thought, and Tropius...>

-Gives her patented glare-

Tropius: -Quails under her gaze- <Never mind.>

Felis: <You're lucky you got here before she stabbed herself.>

Hey!

-runs over to Mezzo and Every- Hey, guys.

Hi, Wolf.

Hi Wolf.

-still looking at the ranch mons, especially a pair of mudkip-

Hmmm....I wonder what happened to Monday in this timeline?

Elsewhere in Hoenn

- A young trainer is walking out of a pokemon center with A Breloom, a Swellow, An Illumise, a Muk, and a Spoink-

Random Trainer: Ok, guys, Let's go!

-the mons all shout in agreement-

- the trainer keeps walking, then stops and turns around-

Random Trainer: Hey! Rio, are you coming?

-a certain Swampert wakes up from his nap-

Rio: <Huh, What? ......OH!> -walks over to his trainer- <Whoops. Sorry.>

Random Trainer: Ok, Every one's here...Now let's go.

-they all walk off-

- I gather up my things while waiting for Wolf, making sure I have everything with me, when my cellphone suddenly rings from within my backpack -

Huh?

- Puts my backpack back on the ground, taking out my cellphone -

Velvet: <Who is it?>

It appears to be... Looker? Why is he calling me?

- Answers it -

Hello?

Felix: *holding onto Jemma, while Claudia floats overhead, using Sunny Day to dry up the rain* Okay, guys, You're probably all tired of standing around here, right?

Ohm: <...> *crosses her arms*

Anya: *opens one eye, shrugging lightly*

Minty: <I am...> *nods*

Mantisk: *comes over* <As am I.>

Felix: Hmm...alright, then. Say goodbye to your friends and then we'll go.

Ohm: <I don't want to say goodbye to my friends. U_U>

Anya: *rolls her eyes* <Being difficult isn't you, Ohm.> *grabs her gently and drags her over to say goodbye to every and co.*

~A bit later~

Felix: *wandering down Route 101, flanked by the others*

Jemma: *on his head, scratching playfully (but gently) at his scalp*

DS and I are going to head to Oldale now, and we wanted to know if anyone wanted to come.

"Looks like they're finally moving."

Artesia jumps ahead a few trees.

"At this rate though, it'll take forever..."

Where's Oldale?

Felis: <This is why you buy a map first.>

- Listens to Looker explain -

... What!? Really? How did that happen?

- My Pokémon exchange confused glances -

Hmm... I see. Okay, I'll try to help, but I'm not sure exactly how. I'm in Hoenn now, you see.

... Okay, bye.

- Ends the call -

Well... I certainly didn't see that one coming.

I think it's just north of here.

Maekrite keeps sparring with Lian....

- I turn to face my Pokémon -

Velvet, you remember Charon, right?

Velvet: <That Team Galactic scientist who was only in it for the money?> (scratches behind her ear) <Yeah, I remember him. Not sure how he was planning on gaining any profits from controlling Heatran and making Stark Mountain erupt, though. Why do you ask?>

Well, apparently someone has broken him out of jail.

Velvet: <What? Why would anyone do that?>

- Shrugs -

I'm not sure... Looker said no one knows who was responsible for breaking him out...

- Thinks for a moment -

Since Saturn is reformed, and Jupiter and Mars are no longer into evil without Cyrus, and Cyrus himself is trapped in a timeloop in the Distortion World, we can count there having been any other involvement from Team Galactic out.

Velvet: <Yeah...>

Minty: <Is all of Hoenn this grassy?>

Ohm: <I thought you liked grass, Minty.>

Minty: <Well, I do...but it's kinda plain, don't you think?>

Ohm: <Eh...maybe?>

Felix: *yawns* I hope there's something interesting to do soon. *passes a few members of the J-Team*

~~~

Lian: <Oof!> *is kicked* <See, fighting-type moves are fun! ^_^> *swoops in with Aerial Ace, lashing out with her whip fur again*

Maekrite — <...Gah!> — is hit by the Aerial Ace — <Not bad, though that was Flying... let's see if you can evade as gracefully.>

Maekrite leaps in and Fury Attacks while circling around.

- Is now pacing -

Hmm... Since Team Galactic obviously had nothing to do with it, who could possibly have broken Charon out, and why?

Velvet: <Well, look on the bright side. At least this time it wasn't a dangerous enemy of yours who broke out!>

... Not dangerous? Velvet, Charon may not be dangerous on the same level as Cyrus, but he is still a threat. And not knowing who he might be working for, and what kind of technology he might create for them...

Velvet: <Hmm... I guess you're right.>

- Sighs -

So, what do we do? Should we inform the others?

Artemis: <I dunno, does it really concern them? We don't even know where that Charon guy is!>

Velvet: <What do you think, DS?>

Hmm... I don't know...

Right, Every. It's just the next town over.

Oh, cool.

I think Salamence is up by there now, so I'll be able to pick her up.
