Ecruteak
Skye and Diane are searching for Luke together. They're not in any rush, though, so they're taking their time and looking around at the incredibly-familiar city.
Skye: <Even six hundred years in the future, this place is amazing... It's really hard to believe this isn't really my home...>
Diane gets a sick feeling deep down...
Diane: <Right... home...>
She sighs
Skye: <...Is something wrong...?>
Diane wordlessly reaches into her hammerspace and pulls out a shard.
Skye: <...Are you...?>
Diane nods glumly. She stares at the shard... and pecks it.

Um... Fortis, you might want to catch him before he wakes up.
Fortis: Okay!
-Fortis throws a Pokéball at Xaldin, easily capturing the incapacitated mon-
Lakitu: <What's catching? Does it hurt?>
Fortis: Oh, I need to catch you too! Silly birdie, it doesn't hurt at all! It just means I can take you with me wherever I go!
Lakitu: <So wherever you went, I'd get to be there with you?> -eyes widen-
Fortis: Uh huh!
Lakitu: <Catch me, please!> -chirp-

Pariah: <Well, let's go?>
Sure.
Pariah: <And let's not walk. Walking sucks.>
Yeah, I dunno why we even walked here to begin with...
Asphodel: <Walking can be fun. Deserts aren't, though.>
Xakk: <Where exactly is this epidemic occurring?>
-Onion checks the laptop- Route 9.
Pariah: <Onward to Route 12!>
Nine.
Pariah: <Nine!>
-they climb onto Xakk-

Vault 12 Command Center
Muddy: <That glowing one told us it would be in here, but which one of these computers has it?>

-Points a claw at the central computer-

Vault 12 Command Room
Vault Dweller: All this time we spent fighting, killing, and nearly dying, all to save my home Vault. Now it's all at an end.
-Removes the Vault 12 water chip-
Now I can finally go home. No...wait. I can't come back before I tell the Overseer about these Super Mutants.
-Mind does a flashback to the water caravan deal-
Oh no, I've put everyone in danger! Those mutants, they've been hunting humans, and now more people know about where it is!
<I told you it was a bad idea! Now we have to wait for the others to get back so that we can head back to Vault 13.>
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Where's my lantern?
Route 9, a small timeskip later
-Onion lands with Xakk onto Route 9, and Pariah quickly jumps off and tumbles onto the ground-
Pariah: <So what do we do now? Set up a trap?>
No, I don't think that'll be—
Pariah: <Okay, I'll do it!> -darts off down the path and out of sight-

-Onion proceeds to see a path completely devoid of Houndour-
Xakk: <It seems the epidemic has been comtained.>
What? That's not fair.
Xakk: <Did you even get the route right?>
Yes, I did.
Xakk: <Just check. I wouldn't be surprised if you just misread it like the clumsy, negligent—>
Okay, okay, I'm checking.
-Onion takes out his laptop, only to have it immediately snatched away by a black blur-
What—?
-the Houndour runs away-
Hey, come back! -he sprints after it-

How was it?
Pariah: <It was so cool! Can we stay here forever? Only until we get bored.>
...Sure.
Asphodel: -hops onto the bench- <What're you doing?>
Nothing really. Checking some local news, and seeing if we missed anything really important when we were gone.
Xakk: <As if.>
That's what it looks like... -Onion notices a recent news update- Hey, there's a swarm going on.
Pariah: <Huh? What's that?>
It's like where a bunch of a certain Pokemon begin showing up for a while in a single place.
Pariah: <Is it Swablu? Please say it's Swablu!>
No, Houndour.
Pariah: -hysterically- <What's that?>
You really don't know? They're the black do-
Pariah: <Oh, right, I know them.>
