Aisle Town - With Ammy
<Drye: "I see...">
-And brings the dusty tome over, opening it... Revealing a number of illustrations of different Pokemon, consisting primarily of Flygon line members-
<Drye: "I'm not sure how accurate they are... But... This is my family... Or as much of it as I've been able to keep track of...
... Did you get a good look at your father by any chance?">

Treasure Town, PMD-A
Luxord: Yes... Perhaps somemon somewhere is offering a reward?
Aisle Town
Ammy: I spent a few days with him... I spent most of my life with a mean Haxorus, you see... Hmmm... -flips through the book a bit- Oh! -points at one particular Flygon- That's him!

Contact Me!Aisle Town - With Ammy
-Eying the page that Ammy has found-
<Drye: "Eh? But that's Darner- ... Wait a minute...">
-And flips through the tome carefully before stopping at an illustration of a different Flygon-
<Drye: "This is the Darter that I know... ... But he doesn't match up... One of the antennae's a little scuffed up...
... Wait a minute, where did you say that your father was the king of again? And where is it?">
Aisle Town
Ammy: He called it the Kingdom Of Fire and Earth... Or the Kingdom of Regalam... It's centered around this castle built from a tower's ruins in Orre... And he lives there with my Mom.
Near Lake
Luxord: Go ahead, guess.

Contact Me!Lake: <Are you suggesting that we join an Exploration Team?>
Stratus: <Exploration Team? what are they?>
Lake: <They're groups of Pokémon that go around helping others by doing things like rescuing peoplemons from Mystery Dungeons, catching criminals, running escorts...things like that.>
The Dragonite frowns.
Stratus: <Sounds like hard work...>
Aisle Town - With Ammy
<Drye: "... Orre?">
-Darner's supposed to have flown across the sea... And to have set up a kingdom in a land that was lawless before he arrived... Could we be talking about the same mon here?-
<Drye: "... One moment...">
-And roots through a box before retrieving a tattered piece of paper-
<Drye: "I knew that that Sandslash would come in handy one day...">
-And carefully unfolds it, revealing a battered map of the world-
<Drye: "When I got this, I was told that it was a map of the world that once was...">
-Pointing at a chain of islands offshore to the east from a continent-
<Drye: "This is apparently where our land is... ... Do you know where this 'Orre' is?">
Near Lake
Luxord: Hmm... I was thinking a Poker tournament Where I collected all the winnings but that works too.
AU Lake Of Rage
- A Garchomp and a Flygon are watching the two Houndoom. -
Garchomp: Think they could be useful, brother?
Flygon: I hope so... This rain isn't exactly pleasant.
Aisle Town
Ammy: Hmm... I have a few maps like this in my books...
-points to a desert area-
I think that was it.

Contact Me!Lake rubs his chin in thought.
Lake: <I'm not sure we could really start and exploration team. We don't have much experience with that sort of thing, and we're not planning on staying here in Treasure Town for very long.>
Stratus: <Yeah, we're from another univer- Er, I mean, we're travelers! Yeah! We move around a lot.>
Stratus wasn't sure he wanted to go around telling peoplemons that he was from another world. It likely wouldn't go over well with the local population.
Near Lake
Luxord: I'm from your universe, you know.
AU Lake of Rage
Garchomp: Heh. They're total lovebirds.
Flygon: Must be why they haven't picked up our scent by now.
Aisle Town
Ammy: ...

...Yay, cousin! ^_^ -hugs Drye-
Contact Me!PMD-A?
-While walking-
<Cleo: "That's the police station... And there's the hospital...">
<Frond: "Which only losers have to visit...">
<Jeff: "You were there once, Frond!">
<Frond: "Let me phrase that... Only losers have to visit if they're not holding off mons that are like 5 times their level!">
<Diana: "... What's the story behind that?">
<Cleo: "... I'll tell you later.">
<Cleo: "Oh! Oh! It totally involved a psychotic numbers-obsessed pretty boy, didn't i-">
<Nadia: "CLEO!">
-With a slightly uncomfortable look-
<Jeff: "... Let's move o-">
-And spots a Druddigon with a prominent abdominal scar along with a Treecko and a Magikarp soliciting a Hydreigon in the shade beside a tent with some graffiti on it, including a small, inconspicuous red triangular design with the appearance of fangs converging on its center-
<Jeff: "Oh no...">
<Hydreigon: "Hmm... I mean, it sounds interesting... And you're definitely the most accomplished Rescue Team leader here... But I'd like to keep my options open...">
<Shaun: "I don't get it, what's wrong here?">
<Druddigon: "Bah. It's 'Tatsu', right? What do you need those weaklings for? You shouldn't be taking orders from them, it's beneath you and your ki-">
-Flopping up and making a feeble attempt at a on-land greeting-
<Magikarp: "Oh! Hey!">
<Druddigon: "Huh? Did you see someone Cyp- Oh.">
-In a less than inviting and somewhat threatening tone-
<Druddigon: "Hello, Cleo...">
<Cleo: "Hello to you too, vampire!">
<Treecko: "... And I remembered why I'm glad to be a dragon now... Not that I needed the reminder.">
<Druddigon: "... Who on earth is the fish? And the others for that matter?">
-Shooting a determined look back-
<Cleo: "They're some visitors passing through from Treasure Town, Riker. They mean no harm.">
-To the Druddigon-
<Frond: "What happened to you? Wake up on Jeff this morning or something?">
-Aside-
<Jeff: "That's Riker. Or technically, 'Crimson Riker', but no one calls him that. He's a Rescue Team leader around these parts. One who's more than a little prejudiced to mons that aren't dragons. The Treecko's named Cardinal, and the Magikarp's Cyprinus.">
<Shaun: "... I see.">
<Cleo: "Oh, well he's obviously evil! His name breaks the character limit!">
-To the Servine, sizing it up-
<Riker: "Hmm... I see that you've come to see the folly of dawdling around with a team of weaklings. Have you considered my suggestion?">
<Diana: "... Suggestion?">
<Frond: "Meh, I don't need it. I can be tough on my own. Plus I'd rather take orders from Cleo than a prig like you any day.">
<Cardinal: "Well gee, I wouldn't want to be on the same team as you either, Frond.">
<Cyprinus: "Aww... But it's fun! Won't you reconsider?">
<Tatsu: "Uh... Are the others friends of yours, Riker?">
-Sizing up Gene and his group-
<Riker: "Perhaps... One or two of them might be...
... It all depends on whether or not they stay...">
<Nadia: "... I'll pass. Creep.">
<Gene: "... Yeah, we were passing through on our way to a job.">
<Riker: "So be it. I have matters of my own to tend to anyways...">
-And departs along with the other three-
<Tatsu: "Uh, I'm still getting that dinner you promised, right?">
<Cardinal: "Take care of yourselves!">
<Cyprinus: "Yeah! Nice meeting you!">
-After the four are well out of earshot-
<Diana: "... Guy gives me the creeps. How'd those kids ever wind up on his team?">
<Cleo: "(*sigh*) I wish I knew, Diana... I really do.">
<Vlad: "Well... I mean... You saw the way that those two were... Maybe that Druddigon can become like them one day?">
<Jeff: "... Maybe. But I'm not putting money on it...">
<Cleo: "Let's move on here.">
Aisle Town - With Ammy
-Is glomped by Ammy-
<Drye: "Er... Heh...">
-And reciprocates with a wing + clawhug-

Stratus: <Right! Right, we totally knew that!>
Lake says nothing, choosing to facepalm instead, somewhat embarrassed.
Lake: <He makes a valid point, though. We're not going to be here for that long, so it doesn't seem wise to tie ourselves down with a job.>
Especially since they could end up in Arceus knows where if you so much as looked at one of those shards funny.
PMD-A?
<Cleo: "And this is the main shop...">
-An Arbok, a Litwick, and a Gloom are wrapping up a transaction with the Kecleon shopkeepers-
<Kecleon!Shopkeeper #1: "Have a nice day!">
<Arbok: "Thankssss for your help.">
<Litwick: "... You're sure these are going to be helpful, Darcs?">
<Gloom: "Yeah. I've got a history of battling, you'll be performing moves off the back of your hand thanks to these T Ms!">
<Arbok: "Sssstill... It takessss practice, Darcsssss.">
<Gloom: "Everything does, Allan. Trust me, it'll go by a lot faster than you think...">
-And the three pass by-
<Vlad: "Who were they, anyways?">
<Jeff: "That was Team J4D3... No, don't ask me if I'm pronouncing that right, I don't know either...">
<Cleo: "Did you have anything that you wanted to get before setting off?">
-Eying his 100 Poke-
<Gene: "Er...">
<Riana: "Apple! Apple!">
<Gene: "Eh, I guess it's worth a shot...">
-And goes up to the counter-
<Gene: "Hey, have you got a couple apples by any chance? I had a few friends that were hungry.">
<Kecleon!Shopkeeper #1: "Sure. Just let me take your- ... Wait a minute... Is this real?">
<Gene: "Well, I just got it yesterday, why?">
-To the other shopkeeper-
<Kecleon!Shopkeeper #1: "Come take a look at this.">
-Lifting one of the coins up-
<Kecleon!Shopkeeper #2: "*whistle* That's quite the period piece right there...">
<Shaun: "... What?">
<Keckleon!Shopkeeper #1: "The coins you're paying with date back to that drama with the Time Gears. And they're in really good condition too.">
<Nadia: "... When was that anyways?">
<Cleo: "A couple hundred years ago. One of my ancestors was said to have had something to do with that...">
<Nadia: *blink blink* >
<Gene: "... What does that mean then?">
<Shopkeeper!Kecleon #2: "Well... You could use them at face value... Or you could sell them to us and we'll give you a fair price for them...">
<Gene: "... Oh? How much?">
<Shopkeeper!Kecleon #1: "Hmm... Five coins... Shame you don't have another one of those big ones, they always go for quite a bit... I'd say... Oh... 3000 Poke?">
<Vlad: "... 3000 Poke?!">
<Gene: "Uh... Sure. I guess I can go with that...">
About 5 Minutes Afterwards, With a Few Apples and Schrodinger's Purchase
<Frond: "You mean all this time, these guys have been strutting around with antiques?! Life is so unfair...">
<Diana: "How did you find those anyways?">
<Riana: "Wooper! Wooper!">
<Shaun: "Oh dear... I hope that kid knew what he was doing...">
<Jeff: "So I take it that you're leaving?">
<Gene: "Yeah... We should get going. We've got a job and all.">
<Nadia: "I still don't see how it necessitates us!">
<Cleo: "Hmm... Well it was nice seeing you. Maybe we'll see you all in Treasure Town sometime.">
<Vlad: "Heh. I think we'd all like that...">
<Cleo: "Goodbye! And remember to keep your eyes peeled for aliens!">
<Riana: "Goodbye~!">
<Gene: "Take care of yourselves.">
-And the group sets of via the skies-
-As the town disappears behind them, Gene's bag begins to glow again-
<Nadia: "... Is that that rock again? What is that thing?">
<Gene: "... I honestly don't know anymore.">

Stratus: <Win? As in, win a fight or a game?>
Stratus clutches his stomach as it growls loudly once again.
<Well, it's not like we have any money to buy food with...>
Lake sighs, rolling his eyes.
Lake: <We can make money easily by going through that cave by the beach. There's loads lying around in there, plus some berries and a few other things, too.>
Stratus: <Oh! But didn't you say that cave was one of those "Mystery Dungeon" things?>
Lake: <Well yeah, but it's hardly dangerous for Pokémon of our level.>
Stratus frowns, nervously.
Stratus: <I'm still not sure. Maybe we should listen to this Dunsparce. It could be safer...>
