"Near Route 104... It's a bit of a long story anyways..."

<Goon!Vigoroth: "What do you want anyways? I thought you said that you were going to leave us alone!">

<Kat: "We wanted to check up on you, seeing as you apparently got thrown out of your first home... How on earth did you all manage that anyways?">

<Goon!Vigoroth: "Er... We kinda had a misunderstanding with-">

<??? #1: "Wait, who is that?">

<??? #2: "I hear humans with them. I thought we were trying to avoi-">

-A Grotle and a Delcatty emerge from the shrubbery-

<Goon!Delcatty: "Oh no... Seriously?">

-Shyly-

<Goon!Grotle: "Wait... Does this mean that you found a way for us to go home? Also... Who are the others? They don't know, do they-">

<Francis: "To answer your first question, 'no.' And to answer your second, that depends upon how well you shut up about it.">

-Looking rather glum-

<Goon!Grotle: "Oh... Okay...">

<Kat: "Where are the others anyways?">

<Goon!Vigoroth: "They're up ahead...">

-An awkward pause-

<Zoltan: "Aren't you going to take us to them?">

<Goon!Delcatty: "(*grumble*) Whatever...">

-And the three lead us through the bushes-

-A short walk later, and we are lead to a clearing-

<Teala: "Er... Where is everyone?">

<Goon!Vigoroth: "Hey jerks! We've got company!">

-About 30 mons quickly pop into the clearing various places-

<Goon!Zoroark: "... Running into issues with that stalker again?">

<Goon!Vibrava: "Ulp. You're not going to have us kicked out of here too, are you? W-We didn't mean for that to happen! H-Honest!">

<Teala: "Actually... Is that Krokorok with you still here?">

<Goon!Krokorok: "Uh... Yeah. Why?">

-Pointing at Umbra-

<Teala: "We were kinda hoping to have this human clean your teeth.">

-Eying suspiciously-

<Goon!Krokorok: "... What.">

(49 is healing his pokemon at a Pokemon Center)

49: Thanks for healing my pokemon, Nurse Joy!

Nurse Joy: You're welcome!

(49 leaves the Pokemon Center and decides to walk to Route 102... however, a certain guy with glasses is blocking the way)

49: Excuse me, sir. You're kind of blocking the...

Fossil Guy: NO! YOU WILL NOT STEP ON THIS SPOT!

49: What are you talking abou...?

Fossil Guy: I know what's you're doing... you're trying to trick me into letting you go, so you'll step on this spot AND RUIN THE ULTIMATE DISCOVERY OF A LIFETIME!

49: What are you even talking about?

Fossil Guy: You see this (Points to footprints in the dirt) THESE ARE THE FOOTPRINTS OF A RARE POKEMON!

49: Really... because they look like human footprints.

Fossil Guy: ARE YOU SPOUTING OUT LIES?!? (Sees that 49 is stepping on the slight edge of the footprints, and immediately faints from shock)

49: OK... (Walks away from the strange man)

Lumos: The Krokorok is skeptical... try talking sense into it.

Umbra: OK... - To Krokorok - I...I just need to do this to become... a researcher... and find out why... -he hesitates-

-To Umbra-

<Goon!Krokorok: "I never said no... Heck I've had to rely on that Zoroark to take care of this for me.">

<Goon!Zoroark: "I'm keeping a tab of favors, and don't think that I'm going to forget about them!">

<Goon!Krokorok: "Yeah, yeah, whatever.">

-To Umbra-

<Goon!Krokorok: So go ahead and get started...">

-Hearing Fool-

"... Uh..."

<Goon!Luxray: "Wait, who's the th- AAH!">

-And shrinks back for a moment, before relaxing a bit-

<Goon!Luxray: "Er... I meant to do that...">

<Goon!Yanma: "What was that about anyways?">

<Goon!Luxray: "... Er. Have you ever heard of 'The Witch of Undella'?">

<Goon!Yanma: "The what?">

<Goon!Weavile: "Oh come on, that's insane! Though... I must admit that that is a remarkable resemblance...">

Rex: Oh, I hear a Swampert roaring somewhere.

Route 206, Sinnoh (Future)

A herd of several Ponyta grazed around the grasslands, roaming freely without fear of capture or being bothered by trainers. A few chewed at a few choice bushes, while others butt heads in playful battle. The adults seemed content with watching the foals horse around, occasionally stepping in to prevent them from hurting themselves. Observing this all from a small distance away, a trainer and his own Ponyta stepped a bit closer, mumbling quietly to themselves.

"So, you want some alone time with your family?" Rex asked, removing himself from Aloise's back. "Are you nervous about how they'll react to you having a trainer?"

<Not necessarily,> she murmured, grinding a hoof absently against the ground. <It's just...I would appreciate being able to speak with my herd as a member, not a Trainer's Pokemon.>

"...Makes sense," Rex agreed after a moment, nodding his head. He gave the Ponyta a pat on her flank, smiling warmly at her. "Take all the time that you need. We'll be around if you need us."

<Thank you,> she whinnied softly, nuzzling his side gently. He grinned, wrapping his arms around her neck in a gentle hug before pulling away, the Ponyta cautiously making her way to the group before them. After a moment, she paused and turned back to him.

<...I've heard there is a cave on this route housing exotic species of Pokemon. Perhaps you could spend your time there?>

Rex smiled and nodded. "Sure thing. Thanks for the info."

With that, Aloise nodded and broke into a mild sprint, approaching her herd with a loud whinny to alert them. Almost immediately she was swarmed by several of the foals, the group looking pleased to recognize her return.

"Hmm...guess she's more popular than I thought," Rex mumbled, wondering just who Aloise was to command such respect. Shrugging and going about his business, he made a mental note to ask her later, releasing the other five Pokemon he had on hand.

Current Team: Rascal the Flareon (♂), Tanith the Seviper (♀), Pierce the Eevee (♂), Aloise the Ponyta (♀), Nico the Aipom (♂), and Jemma the Skittyδ (♀)

Katie: -is tired-

Kensei? I need to run down to stock up on supplies before we all leave for Lilycove. Can you stay here with Sunny for a bit?

Thanks. -goes to do the same for Vaporeon, who is with the Eeveelution cuddlepile, before heading out-
