Felicity had just informed her father that her mother wasn't in her room. They searched the whole house and somehow she had vanished. While this happened, Akito and Estelle were eagerly and anxiously getting ready to go on their next trip with Ash Ketchum and friends.
"This is going to be so exciting." Akito said.
"Yeah." Estelle nodded.
"Are you guys about ready?" Mo asked her younger children.
Estelle looked back with a smile. "You bet!"
"You know it." Akito said.
"And I am going to be coming with you two." Vincent said.
"Oh, we know." Estelle said with a smile.
"You think you got everything?" Mo asked them.
"We should." Akito said as he came to his mother and brother.
"Oh, I'll be right back!" Estelle realized she was missing something. She then rushed off to the bathroom.
"Take your time, dear," Mo chuckled. "Your friends aren't going anywhere!"
"Oh, I can not wait to see the looks on their faces when they see our Pokemon." Vincent said as he hugged his Vulpix before returning him to his pokeball.
"That'll be quite the surprise of the century." Mo giggled in return.
Akito tapped his foot. "Come on, Estelle, we have to go!"
"I'm coming, you can't rush perfection!" Estelle called back with a small tease.
"Perfection for what? We're meeting our friends, it's not a date." Akito told his twin.
"Isn't it a date for you since Emi's gonna be there?" Estelle laughed a little.
Akito blushed once she said that. "Please hurry up so then I can make sure I look perfect too." he said.
Estelle laughed and eventually came out. Akito then rushed to the bathroom to comb his hair down.
"I've never seen him that anxious to get cleaned up," Mo laughed a little. "Why didn't he meet Emi a long time ago?"
"Yeah, because then he would be able to get clean like that more often." Vincent laughed a little.
"I heard that!" Akito called out from the bathroom.
The family hid small laughs.
Eventually Akito left the bathroom and came out. "Okay, I'm ready."
"Where's your bandanna?" Mo asked him.
"Uhh..." Akito blushed and put it back on over his neatly combed hair. "Here."
"There it is." Mo said.
"But, Mom, which do I look better?" Akito asked. "With bandanna on or without bandanna on?"
"Do what you think is better..." Mo insisted.
Akito hummed, he looked to his bandanna, he had worn it ever since he was a baby and felt weird about it. He remembered his first adventure with the Pokemon where it was lost in the water and he felt so weird without it. "I guess I could hang onto it... Is your bandanna important to you too, Mom?" he asked.
"Yes, it was the last birthday present my biological parents were able to get for me," Mo said as she patted her own bandanna. "We were a very dirt poor family and we were dangerously close to living on the streets."
That did make it special and where Akito didn't want to leave without his bandanna, so just decided to keep it in his pocket.
"All set to go?" Mo asked them.
"Ready!" the Fudo siblings told their mother.
Mo smiled and gave them a hug as they were ready to get going then.
"Well, we better get going." Estelle said.
"You got a long travel ahead of you." Mo nodded to them.
"I still remember that train ride we took with Eloise and her nanny to Hollywood." Akito smiled.
"That was really cool," Vincent agreed. "Can you believe that we got to see Aunt Darla's hand prints and signature in front of the Chinese theater?"
"Who knew?" Akito shrugged.
"Eloise's hands even fit," Vincent added. "'My time has come'... It's a shame Aunt Darla had to be such a spoiled brat when she was younger though..."
"She's gotten better though and she's the best aunt ever." Estelle smiled calmly.
"Yes, yes, she is." Akito said.
Mo smiled to them. "I hope you guys have a good time."
"I'm sure we will, Mom." Akito said.
Mo smiled as she walked with them. "Sorry your father couldn't be here."
"It's okay, we understand." Estelle reassured.
"Yeah, besides, his work is important." Akito said.
"I've sometimes thought about getting a job..." Mo sighed a little. "But who would teach you kids? Your Aunt Darla recommended me some tutors..."
Akito, Estelle, and Vincent hid faces in disgust since Eloise always complained about her tutor. "Pass..." they mumbled.
"Hmm, well, then I guess we could always bring Tech here just like when you kids were with Eloise." Mo said.
The kids shrugged and continued to follow their mother. They continued to follow her and where the Fudo siblings were excited to see Emi and Ash again and hoped to see Misty and Tracey again as well.
"I hope they like Vulpix." Vincent spoke up.
"Oh, why wouldn't they, dear?" Mo smiled to him.
"True." Vincent said.
"And I can't wait to show them Larvitar." Akito said.
Mo took them to the train station to take them to meet their friends. "Okay, give me a hug."
The Fudo siblings group hugged their mother nice and tight as they were going on their own little adventure.
"I'm gonna miss you three so much." Mo said.
"We're gonna miss you too, Mom." Akito said.
"Take care of yourselves..." Mo said softly. "I know it's only temporary, but I love you all a whole lot."
The three smiled, grabbed their things and went on board their train after it was boarding. Mo waved to them as they climbed on and were going to have another train ride without their parents. And where it was hard to say goodbye to their mother, but it was only temporary for the Fudo siblings. Mo smiled and waved as their train went down the railroad tracks, but she then let out a cry as soon as the train was leaving. She wasn't too sad though, she was happy for them, but she was really going to miss them.
Estelle began to nurture her Pokemon egg. "Oh, I can't wait for it to hatch." she said excitedly.
"What'd you say it was gonna be?" Vincent asked.
"A Teddyursa, I'm really excited, they look so cute like teddy bears." Estelle smiled in excitement.
"How can you tell that it's going to be a Teddyursa?" Vincent asked.
Estelle and Akito then showed him the crescent moon symbol on the center of the egg.
"Oh..." Vincent hit himself on the forehead. "Right..."
"It's okay, we just know a little more about Pokemon biology than you do." Estelle said, but tried not to sound mean in her wording. She continued to nurture her egg and kept it warm to make sure it would survive.
Akito and Vincent smiled.
"She's going to be a wonderful mother someday." Vincent said to his brother.
"Uh-huh." Akito agreed.
Estelle even began to hum a song while nurturing her egg. Vincent smiled, but frowned once he heard the song and it made him a little teary eyed.
"You okay?" Akito asked.
"I... I just remember when Mom used to sing me that before I was kidnapped..." Vincent sighed a little.
"I guess Estelle thought that would be a great song to sing to her Pokemon egg." Akito smiled.
"It's such a wonderful song..." Vincent sighed. "I heard that Mrs. Jumbo sang it to Dumbo when they reunited after she was locked up... I still can't beleive that ringmaster locked her up just because she was protecting her baby!"
"Well, the guy was evil, what did you expect?" Akito asked.
"I wish we coulda beeen there..." Vincent put his fists up. "I'd teach him a thing or two!"
"And I'd let him be sent straight to prison." Akito said.
Vincent nodded in firm agreement.
"Well, I'm so glad that terrible man isn't here." Estelle said while nurturing her egg.
"Who?" Vincent asked.
"Giovanni?" Akito also asked. "Lawrence?"
"Giovanni, Lawrence, and that terrible ringmaster." Estelle answered while nurturing her egg.
Akito and Vincent nodded in agreement. Estelle then focused back on consoling her Pokemon egg, singing Baby Mine to it. The train wasn't going to arrive to where they needed to be until the next day and where Vulpix and Larvitar came out wanting to play. The kids had fallen asleep on the train ride like most of the other passengers.
During their sleep, Akito, Vincent, and Estelle all began to have the same dream AKA vision of something that was happening to a little girl. There was a little girl they did not recognize who seemed very playful and full of energy. For some strange reason, she kept calling a huge monstrous creature her father and was calling three figures with her her mother, her sister, and her aunt.
"Who is this girl and why is she calling that huge monstrous creature her father?" Akito asked.
But then Estelle's vision began to show her why she called the huge monstrous creature her father and why she called those three figures her aunt sister and mother.
"She's lonely, so that's why." Estelle whispered.
"Who is she though?" Akito wondered.
"She must be a lonely girl." Vincent said.
The girl's eyes were being visible, they seemed to be sapphire. The kids were hoping to see a full view of the girl before they would wake up from their vision dream. And where they were able to see what she looked like. The girl looked, or at least appeared to be younger than them. She had a big blue bow in her head with short sandy blonde and curly hair. She had an ocean blue dress with white sleeves and a white collar.
The kids just had to wonder what her significance once about them going into Greenfield. They hoped she wasn't evil, but then again, she was a lonely girl, so if she was, she was probably just misunderstood. That was all that they could find out about her as they were all then awakened by light of the sun. The kids squeezed their eyes, but then they slowly opened once they saw it was the next morning and they were nearly into Greenfield now.
"Almost there!" Vulpix cheered.
"How'd you get out of your Pokeball?" Vincent looked to his Pokemon in concern.
"We're able to come out whenever we want or if our trainers or parents want us out." Vulpix explained.
"I don't remember letting you out...?" Vincent was confused. "Must've been sleep training then."
"Nope, we let ourselves out." Vulpix and Larvitar said.
"I guess neither of them could wait to see Greenfield." Akito said.
"I can't either, but can't you guys wait a little bit longer?" Estelle asked with a small laugh.
Vulpix and Larvitar looked like impatient children on Christmas morning, but they tried to wait.
"It's not that much longer now..." Vincent promised them.
"Yeah, we're almost there." Akito agreed.
"Alright, we'll wait." Vulpix said.
"So, when's the egg going to hatch?" Larvitar asked Estelle.
Estelle shrugged. "I'm not sure..." she replied honestly. "When it's ready, I guess."
"Well, whenever it hatches, we'll have to find out what moves it can use." Akito said.
"Maybe Ash or Emi would let us borrow the Pokedex." Estelle suggested.
"Yeah, maybe." Vincent agreed.
The train horn blared, making them look out the window and they passed the entrance sign to welcome them into Greenfield.
"Well, we're here." Akito smiled.
"Yep, it's going to be so great to see them again." Estelle said, excitedly.
"It sure is." Vincent agreed.
