Flashback

PEFE HQ, Forest Habitat Secret Base

Crochet: <Why do I get the feeling that there's a Swadloon that could use a hug somewhere?>

Doc: -Still wearing that fedora- <Who knows? Anyway, wasn't Thresher going to show Abby this today?>

Crochet: <Yeah, but they're not here yet.>

Rex's Backyard

Soterra tilts her head at the flailing Swadloon.

Soterra: <...Oh! Oh! Did something bad happen???> — walks in, tries to [hug] [Minty], worried about the noise...

Minty: *is hugged; calms down slightly* <Awww...> *hugs back* <Well, you're nice, anyway.> *pets Soterra*

Faith's backyard

Soterra: <Awwwww~> — picks Minty up, rocks him softly — <And you're very cute, yes very cute, sshhhhh~>

Mauville

After reading Tagg's message and gulping once, Silent decides to go with the police to the Mauville Underground where hopefully Casval has managed to control the situation.

Inside Charon's hideout

- Several more Rotom are moving about inside the hideout -

Hmm... Looks like we're nearly there...

Velvet: (points with her paw) <Look!>

- Charon is just ahead, keeping an eye on the active weather machine(s) from his control panel, his original Rotom by his side -

Charon: (to some of the Rotom) Hurry up and find the other video equipment so I may send a message to the people of Hoenn, and sell some sunlight to the highest bidder.

Rex's Backyard

Minty: <Wheee~> *hugs Soterra*

Rex's House

Faith: Hmm...I suppose he's sleeping right now. Anyway, here is your reward, Shahinne~ *reaches into the cupboard and pulls out...* Premium Nuts, with the wormy aftertaste that birds love and essential vitamins and minerals for concerned mothers. It's a pretty strange product, but it's been highly recommended. *offers Shahinne a handful*

Rex's House

Shahinne trills and goes to nom some nuts.

Harriet: <Shahinne you should say thank you~> — tilts head.

Shahinne looks up at Faith, swallows and trills again.

Mauville

A SWAT Team assisted with marine Pokémon start surrounding the entrance to the Mauville Underground.

PEFE HQ

Abigail: <So, we're looking at something, Thresher?>

Goldenrod

Reed Snorkel: <No, only serious ideas!>

Yellow Threedot: -makes note to figure out where this DMV thing is...-

Wishbone: <Better get this... Lanturn? to the house fast!>

Mt. Pyre

-waiting outside the base-

Near Mt. Pyre

-Vilkas is headed for the volcano, backed by a number of grunts-

On 3ds, will be slow in responding.

Inside the hideout

I guess we know why he's doing this.

Nudi: <Remind me why we didn't crush him the last time we saw him Tagg?>

We were too tired, remember? That's not true this time.

Outside the Mauville Police Station

-A nearby Slowking transmits the info to the Team Aqua HQ in Slateport using a Slowpoke ping system-

PEFE HQ

Thresher: <Yeah, it's really cool Abby. Though I think we should've made it in a cave.>

-Is sitting somewhere on the exterior, pretty much doing what I was yesterday-

-Somewhere higher up, a brown Absol and a rouge agent of Solipede are gazing down at Pent-

Rouge Agent: <Are you sure he will be ready soon?>

Moriaty, Delta Absol: <Yeah yeah. The vision was vivid. Soon it will happen, and soon we will be by his side...> -Leaps off to go cause a minor landslide somewhere-

Rouge Agent: ~Sigh~ -Runs off-

Aqua Slateport HQ

Ryklys: We made progress in our last battle. Tagg's whipping us back into shape for sure.

-gets a page-

...Team Magma is seen moving towards Pyre? What could a land and volcano-obsessed Team want there-

No. They can't be dumb enough to try and reactivate a supervolcanic caldera. This bears research-

Bartholomew: Oh! Ryklys, interesting news from Mauville... -infodumps-

Ryklys: Charon? ...change of plans, we're departing for Mauville.

PEFE HQ

Abigail: <Well, let's see it...>

Veilstone City Gym

Rex: *enters the front door* ...?

Rascal: <...well, that was somewhat unexpected.>

Gym: *is partially a (workout) gym*

Outside the Mauville Police Station

A nearby Lunatone spying on the nearby Slowking flies back to a cabin in the mountains to transmit the information to Team Magma HQ using a sun/moon beacon ping system.

Inside Charon's hideout

Hey! Charon!

Charon: (turns around) Well, well... If it isn't DS. (looks around at the others) So, you and these people I assume are friends of yours are here to try to stop me? (smirks) You may have stopped me before, but things will be different this time. This time, I have my little friend here with me... (points to Rotom) ... and all these Rotom that budded off from my original one.

- Five other Rotom in different forms appear -

Charon: But, I guess you don't really know that much about them, seeing as you never did get that one Wi-Fi event, am I right?

... Yeah.

Charon: So... Are you going to fight me?

Mt. Pyre

Mt. Pyre

Stratus — <Hey! HEY! Calm down!>

Rayquaza responds by roaring loudly and slashing a rock with Dragon Claw, craving it into pieces and sending some nearby Shuppet into even more of a panic then they were in before.

<...Or you could take your anger out on some rocks. It's stress relief, yeah.> Sweatdrops.

The legendary dragon prepares to slash some more boulders...but stops instead, breathing out an irritated sigh.

Rayquaza — <Those humans. Always trying to exert their control over that which they have no right to govern...> Scowls. <Sometimes, I wonder if they're really any different from those Alakazam and Metagross that I told you about.>

Stratus — <WHOA THERE! You're not planning on wiping them out, are you?>

Rayquaza pauses, frowning at Stratus.

Rayquaza — <...I don't know. While I think that some may have become a little overzealous, I'm sure many of the legends would disagree with me.>

Stratus — <But you've gotta' remember that not all humans are like those teams!>

Stratus flies up to Rayquaza's eye-level.

<Not all of them wish to dominate the elements. Heck, most of them live in harmony with them instead! I mean...just look at all if the different towns in Hoenn! Like Fortree City! When people settled there, they didn't chop all the trees down, they built there homes right in the branches!>

Rayquaza — <...Hmm...>

Stratus — <And what about Sootopolis? Even though it's a pain to get around especially with all those narrow allys, they didn't simply just level the whole thing to make it more easy to live on, they built around it instead!>

Rayquaza — <...>

Stratus — <Did those Alakazam and Metagross live in such harmony with nature?>

After a short pause, Rayquaza shakes his head.

Rayquaza — <No...they didn't.>

Stratus — <So...you understand what I'm saying?>

The legendary dragon nods, giving Stratus a small smile.

Rayquaza — <I do.>

Stratus smiles back.

Stratus — <...Thanks. Now...perhaps we should be helping the others?>

Rayquaza — <Yes, we should. Come on...>

Steel: <Wi-Fi event?>

What, are villains getting fourth wall powers too? No, we're here to discuss scientific theory over tea and crumpets. Of course we're here to stop you!

Nudi: <You're not going to get away from us this time!>

Outside the hideout

Muddy: -Has shown up with Roc and Sentinel- <Roc, you said that you heard Tagg over here right?>

Roc: -Slightly annoyed- <I could be sleeping right now.>

-Sighs-

<But saving Hoenn is more important.>

Sentinel: <Er, perhaps we should go inside.>

Muddy: <Yeah, let's.>

-The trio enters the hideout-

PEFE HQ

Thresher: -Shows Abigail the Secret Base- <Surprise! It's pretty cool right?>

Doc: <Crochet, Abby's here!>

Crochet: -Eating some leaves- <I was starting to wonder if you and Thresher canceled.>

-Is plodding off towards the top of the mountain-

Inside the hideout

Charon: Very well...

- Some random Rotom fly off-screen, snickering -

- My Pokémon stand ready to face Charon -

(thinking) I didn't really get a chance to fight him last time, but I have a feeling this time, he's going to prove to have some tricks up his sleeve...

Outside

- Sierra approaches Rayquaza -

Sierra: Um... Excuse me? Rayquaza?

Stratus and Rayquaza glance at Sierra, the two recognising her as the woman that Vyvyan was with earlier. Rayquaza looks to Stratus, who nods at him to signal that maybe he should handle this. The legendary nods back, then lowers his head to Sierra's height.

Rayquaza — <Yes?>

Outside

Sierra: Um... Hi. My name is Sierra. I was just wondering... Have you given any thought to what to do about Vyvyan and the other two young legendaries? (sigh) Vyvyan is a really nice guy... he never asked for any of this to happen.

-My mons and I start to form a circle-

Forecaster: -Casts a Lucky Chant- <Snickering, that's never good.>

Gaia: <Let's see what they have cooked up for us.>

Helios: -Starts using Quiver Dance- <Whatever he has cooked up, it won't be enough.>

Sirius: -Growls- <Maybe this time I'll prove how strong I am.>

Nudi: <I hope you don't just have those Rotom Charon!>

Limna: -Lights up, literally- <Time for some boiled chicken!>

Steel: -Seems to be doing...something- <We're not going to be b-beaten by some greedy crook.>

Tropius: <Bring it!>

Xatu: -Just gives a creepy Xatu stare, which is intimidation enough-

Victini: -Invisible- <I never get to beat up bad guys these days.>

I'm surprised, I thought you'd run and hide. Let's see what you've got.
