Yeah! Where's this place owned by this Aretha? (Marsha asks.)


(The Wailord is drawing closer to the shore. Benji, Dinah, and Lucy take notice.)

Huh...that Wailord looks familiar... (Benji comments.)

(Aretha joins them.) Oh, that's my good friend Wenda. (She says.) I think she may have Belle and her family with her.

Oh? (Benji says.)

Cool...! (Lucy says.)

Nice to meet you both, Eliot and Grigori. Now...

(Richard peeks into the town proper and happens to spot Benji and Dinah down at Rainbow Road, with a Wailord approaching. He reports back to us:)

Aretha's is down at Rainbow Road.

(He motions to the west of the area that he was just in.)


I guess we follow him, eh?

(I ask the group, taking Marsha's hand in mine again.)

Yeesh, I'd prefer to stay away if we hear anything about Viral Aggression. Sounds bad from what I've heard of it.

Dieter steps off when the others do.

I'll still need to figure out what I want to play. I could kinda play the flute, but... that might be a bit harder now.

I mean, if he knows where Benji and the others are. (I say.)

Yeah, let's go! (Marsha says, starting to walk ahead. Delilah and I do so as well.)

(We fellow Richard down the cobblestone path, going past the Mended Egg Cafe and other colorful buildings as we head toward Rainbow Road. There are numerous Pokémon walking all around us. Some appear to be residents of Gleamscape and are finishing up getting their businesses ready for the festival, cleaning windows, sweeping out front. Others are clearly tourists or Pokémon who plan to perform at the festival. These Pokémon can be identified by the large bags and boxes they are carrying with them.)

Lars simply grumbled to himself as he lazily got off the cart, stretching and following the others. "Hnng, well... I guess..."

Taking a look around him, he found himself internally wincing at the sheer abundance of bright colours all over the place. What sort of madmon thought this was a good idea? All he could think of now was bloody kindergartens and the sweets they handed out, like that one time when he...

He slapped himself on the sides of his head, snapping that line of thought in two. "Hnnh... s'what sorta gig's bein' held here? ...We here fer bodyguard duty or somethin'?"

I guess it'd make sense to head there first, before I do my little errand... *Jani says, before following along in her cart. She then mentions to Lars* I think everyone intends to relax more than everything. The thing is...we don't seek out trouble...trouble always ends up finding us...


*Tilly and Lilly follow along. Lilly is practically starry eyed at the sight of everything* So...awesome...

Yeah... (Marsha says.) I'm surprised my folks and I don't come here more often.

(Delilah seems to be carefully scanning the crowd as we walk along. I look at her and can just tell that she is looking for her mother.) Del, remember that we've got your back. (I reassure her.)

(Delilah looks at me and nods, feeling a bit better.)


(Soon, we walk down some steps to a lower part of the town close to the ocean and Aretha's souvenir shop comes into view, as do Benji, Dinah, and Lucy, who are still standing with a Primarina. For a moment, I think the Primarina is Belle until I see her slightly more unkempt hair and vest. Benji sees us and waves at us.) 'Hoy there, fellas!

Hey, Benji! (I say, walking over.) What's happening?

We are watching as that Wailord arrives here with this Primarina's relatives. (Dinah says.)

Good morning! (Aretha says.) My name is Aretha. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Yeah. (I say. I look out toward the arriving Wailord and their passengers, who are now coming up to one of the nearby docks. My eyes widen when I see who the passengers are. I can tell that Belle, her family, and a cluster of Ludicolos bunched around something are atop the Wailord. Heck, I recognize the Wailord, too. It's none other than Wenda, the Wailord who I swapped bodies with last week.)

Dude... (I say, loud enough for the party to hear.) Guys, that's the Wailord I switched bodies with last week.

Wait, that's Wenda? (Marsha says, a bit surprised.)

Uh huh. (Aretha says.) What a coincidence that we both know Wenda from somewhere.

[I nod greetingly to Benji and Dinah (and I guess Lucy). It's good that we're finally back with one another, I was getting kinda worried about them setting off so soon compared to us.]

[Whoa, another Wailord. I get a little antsy as it draws closer, but when Goobert talks about how she was the one he switched with once he went back to Manaphy's place. I...maybe remember him talking about that, I don't know...my mind may be playing tricks on me at this point.]

[Who's on top of the Wailord I find to be of much greater importance. My smile grows wider than a...a...I grin from ear to ear upon noticing them: I've accessorized myself since we've last met, but I doubt she'll be unable to recognize me.] "HEY! BELLE! BRYCE!"

We've just got to cut through here quick and then we'll get there.

(Richard says, before reaching the shop. He flaps back over to Aretha:)

See, Aretha? These are some of those pokemon.

(Richard says to Aretha.)


Look live, Lilly! You'll never see where you're going if you're going to be lost in the scenery, heh.

(I say to Lilly, before we arrive at the shop:)

Nice to meet you, Aretha...

(I tail off in time to notice the Wailord hosting a peculiar set of passengers, first Belle and Bryce, whom I give a wave to, and in particular the Ludicolo group surrounding...something. What is it? I can't help but wonder.)

(Belle, her family, and the others are disembarking off of Wenda when they hear us calling to them. Belle and Bryce see us and wave at us.)

Hello!! (Belle calls from the dock. She and the others quickly make their way up to us.)

Hello, everyone! (Belle says to us.) And hello to you, too, Goobert. Are you ready to switch bodies with me again? (She adds with a chuckle.)

(I chuckle back.) Not yet. Nice to see you guys again! What brings you here to the festival?

Belle was invited to host a singing contest at the festival here. (Bryce says.) We would have been here sooner, but Wenda was a tad bit late getting to the Castle.

Yeah, I overslept! I'm sorry! (Wenda calls from the dock.)

You are quite fine, Wenda. (Belle reassures Wenda.)

Fancy seeing you guys here! (Bryce says.) I take it you're all here for the festival as well?

Yeah! (I say.) By the way, the Dragonite's Delilah. She's a Dragonite now.

Indeed... (says Belle.)

*Mauveine, meanwhile, is hanging out in the background, mostly doing her own thing* Hey. *she addresses the humanmons, before opting to add* Thanks again for the help last week. Really owe you one...

Um, Belle? (Aretha giggles, waving at Belle.)

Oh! Aretha! (Belle says. She and Aretha share a quick hug.) So wonderful to see you again!

I'll say!

(The Ludicolo squad catches up with the Primarina family and we can see that they are surrounding a very familiar Mythical, answering Marlon's question.) H-Hello again, everyone! (Manaphy says.)

Manaphy! (I say, walking up to him and shaking one of his flippers.) Long time no see! What brings you here?

I want to hear Belle sing for everyone! (Manaphy says, hopping up and down excitedly.)

Yep. Don't worry, the guards are here to protect him. (Bryce says.)

(Dinah and Lucy stand nearby, unable to believe their eyes upon seeing Manaphy.) No...way... (Dinah breathes.)

I look to my side. (I remember doing absolutely nothing for that entire episode.) I dismiss that thought and look around the town. It certainly is… eye-catching. (I can go shopping or something, but… I don't have any money on me. Unless…)

If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.

"Wh-what?" [Wait, why'd they freak out about...her? I don't know if they heard me wrong or...wait, did I say Bella instead of Belle? Their names are similar...but...if I did say her name instead...]

[I get visibly giddy at Bryce's words, enough to pull me out of my little slump. I was on the money, they ARE gonna have a singing contest! I excitedly hop in place: there's so many options, what could I sing, what could I sing? Maybe a, a...Pink Floyd song, or a Yes—noo, noo...OOH!, what about a Tori Amos bit, I could have a bit more success with pulling off one of her songs with my higher voice (or I could just turn into a female form and call it a day...or I could do a Genesis song, Gentle Giant maybe...options, options!]

[For a moment, I'm so wrapped up in my excitement over the singing contest that I almost don't catch Manaphy approach with...whoa, yea, that's a lot of Ludicolos...]

"Heya, kid!" [I approach Manaphy, though somewhat cautiously due to his guards.] "So yer here for the singing contest, too?"

"Prince, huh?" Lars mused, recovering from the sudden jolt he received when PJ jumped off his head. He looked over to the squad of Ludicolos, eyeing each of them in turn. And then he called out to the Manaphy between them.

"'Ey, fishy! These bodyguards o' yers, they experienced? I mean, ya'd want them to, wouldn'tya? Y'were chosen fer 'prince', right, without any say, an' all that? So yer'd want to make extra sure y'were looked after, right?" he said. He had to admit to himself, he wasn't entirely sure where he was going with this.

(Before Manaphy can say anything else, however, Lucy giddily walks up to Manaphy and begins asking questions like she usually does.) I read all about you at the library! Can you really switch bodies with Heart Swap?

Y-Yeah! Watch this! (Manaphy says, turning to face me, Marlon, Marsha, Delilah, Benji, and Dinah. His antennae begin glowing.)

(Dinah's eyes widen.) A-Are we really about to...?

(All at once, all six of us twitch violently. I suddenly feel a lot bigger and...wider. I look down and see Delilah's Dragonite body below me.)
