Sierra: ... Good morning, Eevee.

Eevee:

Sierra: ... You can let go of my hand now.

Riptide: -Is relaxing in a new Secret Base... Somewhere...-

-The so-far-unnamed baby Tynamo is on his head-

-Thinking- <This Tynamo is a little sweetie... She's just so little and squishy and adorable and EEEEEEEEE~>

<...No, that's not right...>

<...Manly stuff! Fights! Punching! Violence! ROAR!>

Tynamo: <Uncle Rip?>

Riptide: <Wrestling Ursari- Huh?>

Tynamo: <I wanna name~!>

Riptide: <Oh... I dunno, I'm not very good at that sort of thing...>

Tynamo: -Hops off Riptide's head and into his lap-
-Looks up at him with Puppy-Dog Eyes-
<...Pweeeeeeeze? :3>

Riptide: <Aww. How can I say no to that?>
<Lemme think...>

<GUNS EXPLOSIONS CAR CHASES>

<Names, names, names... Uh...>

Fortree

Fool is asleep in the inn, dreaming about a Volcarona in a Forest.

Sierra: Oh, how nice! (gives the Swellow an Oran berry)

Fortree

Vyvyan chuckles

Vyvyan: Yep! He'll be travelling with us all right! I still have to think of a name for him though...

Anyway, I was planning on going to Lilycove, would you like to come?

-After a while, Riptide gives up and starts flicking through a name dictionary-

Riptide: <No... No... Definitely not... No... Eww... No...>
<Huh?>

<"Astrid". Hmm.>

-Riptide thinks it over for a while-

<...That's great! Perfect!>

-Turns to the Tynamo...-

What do you think of...

Tynamo: -Is sleeping soundly-

Riptide: <...That.>
<Heh...>

Pokeringer Arena, last night

-catches the ring, and recalls Cirrus-

Good match. -leaves-

Stands, now

-wakes up-

Oh. I'm sixteen.

- Alduin is sleeping and dreaming -

Alduin's Dream!

- Umbra, his party, and various other Pokemon and people from the J-team are assembled in a palace made entirely out of various kinds of candy. Sitting on two candy cane thrones are Alduin and Tiamat -

Alduin: Greetings, my loyal subjects!

Everyone: HAIL THE KING OF CANDY!

Alduin: Now, let's get down to business. My queen, will you survey the council?

Tiamat: Yes, oh glorious King. Umbra, how are the gumdrop patches doing?

Umbra: - Puts on a top hat and a monocle - I do say my good lady, that the gumdrops are growing marvelously.

Tiamat: Lumos? How goes the research on the medicinal properties of peanut butter cups?

Lumos: I BURNED THEM ALL! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Tiamat: ...OK, then. Styx? What is the status of the gummi bear herds?

Styx: Howdy! 'Dem gummy bear herds are hard to wrangle, but I git those varmints milked every day!

Tiamat: Excellent. Jadis? how is the king's personal mecha, the Mata Nui?

Jadis:    IT IS READY TO OBLITERATE EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH, MY QUEEN   

Tiamat: Excellent. Abel? How are the Sour Patch Solders being trained?

Abel: I make those maggots do 200 pushups like REAL men!

Tiamat: As they should. how are the jawbreaker mines, Gilgamesh?

Alduin: He's only here in the future, my queen.

Tiamat: Oh! I am dreadfully sorry, King Alduin.

Alduin: And now, we shall toll the bell for the Grand Sugar Feast!

- The bell rings, but it sounds like an alarm clock -

Alduin: Eh? what in the name of Milton Hershey is going on?

- Alduin wakes up -

Aww man... I always miss the good part.

-is doing something-

Present (In the Pokeringer Stands)

Rex: *appears from nowhere* Happy Birthday, Every!

Kim: *also appears from nowhere* We made you a cake! *hands him a cake colored and shaped like a Dunsparce*

Rex: And I got you this, since I know how much you like them! *gives him a sandwich*

Future (Lilycove City: Department Store)

For the second time that day, Rex found himself standing at a counter, looking extremely unhappy about the news he received. Fortunately, none of his Pokemon were as upset as Dahlia had been, though the little Eevee on his head did seem somewhat disappointed.

Cashier: I'm sorry, sir, but we don't have evolutionary stones for sale. Perhaps I could offer you a complementary Master Ball?

Rex: But I don't want a Master Ball...I wanted a Thunderstone...

With a sigh, Rex stepped away from the counter, preparing to leave the store. Perhaps he'd have to wait until he got back home. Then he could ride the train to Saffron and head over to Celadon an-

???: Excuse me?

Rex: Que?

Turning, Rex noticed a young male standing nearby. From all appearances, he was a traveler, evidenced by the various types of gear sticking out of his bag.

Traveling Man: There's a guy known as the [Shard Hunter] that lives on a route near the beach. I hear he trades evolutionary stones for shards.

Rex: Shards...you mean like this?

He pulled the Yellow Shard from his pocket, showing it to the man.

Traveling Man: Yeah, that's one. You can definitely get a Thunderstone with that.

Pierce: <Eeeeee~ What are you waiting for? Hurry hurry!>

Rex: O-okay... Thank you, sir.

Rex gave a small bow in his direction before heading out the door, going back in the direction of the beach.

Future (Fanclub Building)

Kim: *has fallen asleep in the guest room, mumbling something about Miltank being abducted by UFOs*

Future (Route 124)

Flying over the sea on Spathi's back, Rex scoped the area for any sign of some kind of building. A trading center, a house, anything. Then, after several moments, he found one nestled onto an island and gave Spathi a pat.

Rex: Found it.

The dragon lowered himself towards the island, landing onto the beach gently. Giving his head another pat, Rex reached into his bag and pulled out a submarine sandwich, giving it to the dragon for a job well done. The Salamence attacked the sandwich eagerly, wolfing it down as Rex headed into the building.

Weather Research Institute, Today in the Morning

???: <...zZz... ...zZz...>

Sol is sleeping on a couch, cuddling the egg. She has been there for a good portion of the night after having an argument with Jemma and Lileep over whether the egg counted as food or not.

Suddenly the egg shakes.

Sol: <....meow?> — wakes up, blinks at the egg. — <You're moving!>

Egg -shakes.

Sol -presses a paw against it: <Oh, and you are warm. You are going to hatch soon.> — blinks — <...What? What is it?>

Egg: <I feel alone...>

Sol: <...Oh?> — cuddles the egg more. — <Shhh... Don't worry, I'm here~>

Egg: <I want light... noise...>

Sol: <...What is that?> — stares at the egg for a moment — <...You are still living inside that egg... let me see what can I do.>

Sol stands up, yawns and stretches. After checking the egg for a moment, she realizes that neither Silent or Maekrite are around. After a quick psychic scan of her surroundings that indicates the two are busy with other people who are not in a good mood, she decides to go take care of the egg herself.

First thing first, is getting some music. There must be a radio somewhere...

She walks away.

...

...

...

Egg: <...Hello? Is somemon there? ...Mom?>

Future (Shard Hunter's House)

Shard Hunter: Oh, yes. This is indeed a Yellow Shard.

He nodded, placing the item carefully on the table behind him. Then, he went over to a nearby bag, digging through for something. Curiously, Yuki floated over, peeking over his shoulder. Her eyes opened wide in surprise at the sight of the various things in the bag:

• Some kind of giant ball, made of some strange metal.
• A substance that looked like clay, but was extremely bright.
• A little gem in the shape of a star.
• A bone. Maybe it was rare or something?
• Several kinds of rocks, varying colors of stones attached to each.
• Several kinds of evolutionary stones, one of which the Shard Hunter was gripping at the moment.

Upon finding the Thunderstone, he turned, noticing Yuki floating behind him.

Shard Hunter: Ah, admiring my collection? You have an eye for treasure, I see.

Yuki: <Teehee~> *shows her necklace to the Hunter, smiling proudly*

Shard Hunter: Ah, that's nice...I believe I've seen one of these before.

He pointed to the Heart Scale on her necklace, Yuki tilting her head in curiosity.

Shard Hunter: My nephew sends me those from Sinnoh on occasion. He says he gets them from some place called The Underground. Must be a nice place if he can find all of these things there... Anyway, here is your stone.

Shard Hunter: Hmmm...I get the feeling you'd get along great with my nephew. Here's his...I think it was called a "Friend Code".

Shard Hunter: In any case, come again if you find another shard. I'll have another stone for you.

Present (Pokeringer)

Replacement Announcer: Since we need to do some repairs after the sudden attack of Pokemon during Umbra match (again), here's an infomercial from our sponsors.

Video: *starts up*

Tropius: *whines, pawing at a bush hungrily; wilts its leaves and looks sad*

Team Banana Grunt: *emerges from the bush with a basket of Oran Berries*

Tropius: <...!> *noms from the basket not Basket and regains its strength, flying off into the sky*

Voice Over: Feed a Tropius. This message was brought to you by Team Banana.

Audience: *murmur amongst themselves, feeling a strange desire to feed a Tropius*

Team Banana Admin: *watching from a private room above the stands* Excellent. Excellent. *rubs hands diabolically*

In the stands

Icicle: Hey, how come Team Glacier doesn't have an announcement like that?

Shadow: <Because you haven't written one yet.>

Future (Lilycove City)

Pierce: <Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimmeeeeeeeeeeeee~> *paws at Rex*

Rex: I think we should wait a bit longer, Pierce. You could benefit from more Eevee techniques.

Pierce: <Rrrrr...I bite you.>

Rex: Anyway, let's just go hang out for a bit. I'm sure Kim has been looking for us.

THE FUTURE!

Alduin: ...You know what?

Tiamat: What?

Alduin: I should tell stories like that other Hydregion! Lenore!

Tiamat: Are you sure that's a good...

Alduin: Hey, Gilgamesh!

- Gilgamesh runs over -

Gilgamesh: Whut Unca Alduin?

Alduin: I'm gonna tell you a story!

Gilgamesh: Yay!

Alduin: It's called    THE HASH-SLINGING SLASHER!   

- Gilgamesh stares wide-eyed at Alduin -

Tiamat: Oh Arceus, he's recycling Corsolabob jokes...

Alduin: Once, at a fast food joint, there was a fry cook who was a Larvitar - just like you. One day, he was cutting the patties when he CUT OFF HIS OWN HAND! Then, he got hit by a bus! And then, at his funeral, they FIRED HIM! So, now every...what day is it?

Tiamat: Tuesday.

Alduin: TUESDAY night his ghost wanders around... looking for little Larvitars to make into patties!

- There is silence for a moment -

Gilgamesh: COOL!

Alduin: Wow, I'm a natural at this!

Tiamat: If I had hands I would so totally facepalm right now.

In the Arena

-A certain Salamence is daydreaming-

Call: "... Is something wrong, Nadia?"

-Snapping back to reality-

<Doppelganger!Nadia: "Hmm? Oh! Er...">

-And quickly shakes her head-

-Thinking-

<Doppelganger!Nadia: "... I don't know why... But something about that gator... It resonates with me... Plus he was kinda cute as a Salamence...">

The area around the Arena

-Naida, Krakatau, and Bonecrusher are taking a stroll through the area-

Weather Research Institute, some hours ago

The egg is resting by Silent's laptop, which is open.

Sol: <...I'm telling you! He'll like this music better!> — plays Mightyenang_Amadeus_Mozart.ogg.

Algira: <Wingslap that! He'll like this one!> — plays Ipanema_Elevator_Music.ogg.

Sol: <...Rrrrrr~>

Algira: <...Bzzzzzzt~>

The two Pokémon continue arguing over which music would be good for the egg; meanwhile, Silent is having an argument of his own with the Institute staffers.

Egg: <..."Music"?>

-since talking to Fool, I've formally captured Rosemary is a Pokeball, but who wants to keep a baby Pansage in its Pokeball?-

- Has been thinking about Character Development and problems getting a Microsoft word document to display the way I want, for some reason -

Odette: <... Shouldn't she be worrying more about, you know, Charon and weather machines, and stuff?>

In the Stands

-My team is loitering with me-

<Nadia: "What happened to the others today?">

"They went down into the Arena with Call today..."

<Teala: "To cheer him?">

<Kat: "Well that, and apparently their trainer got in trouble with Gauss breaking stadium lights...">

<Francis: "Well gee, I could have seen that coming!">

<Nadia: "So now what?">

-Spotting Bonecrusher, Krakatau, and Naida-

<Zoltan: "Oh! We could talk with them!">
