It was your average day in Pokepark. Snivy, the princess of the Arbor Area, was wandering around like usual. Going through the large gates that lead to the Tech Area, she came across her friend Kirlia, who was hanging out in the Eco Club area, behind one of the trains near a leaky pipe. "Hey! Snivy! Over here!" She called from one of the roofs of the train cars.
"What is it this time? Did Golett accidentally step on your fern plant again?" Snivy asked, running down the stairs and into the small clearing.
"Not really, Reuniclus got Duosion to tell me to tell you to go meet him in the Scientorium. He said the other members of the Aces were going to be there, too. It was an urgent message, I'm kinda glad I didn't have to hunt around for you..." She said.
"Okay... I guess I had better get going. Hey, you wanna come with? I'm sure Reuniclus and the other Aces wouldn't mind at all." Snivy responded. "C'mon!" She used one of her vines to drag Kirlia towards the Unaware house.
"Okay... Just please not so fast!" She screamed as Snivy ran like a bullet into the Unaware house and up the stairs towards the Scientorium entrance. The automatic doors opened, and the duo ran downstairs over to Dusknoir.
"Hello, Snivy, Reuniclus is waiting for you. But who is this?" He asked, gesturing his hand towards Kirlia.
"She's my friend. I figured I could take her with me, she hasn't seen the Scientorium yet." Snivy said. "We should probably get going now. Oshawott isn't exactly the most patient Pokemon I know..." They continued down towards the elevator, and the automatic doors opened for them. They stepped into the elevator.
"Wow.. This place is pretty high-technical." Kirlia commented, running her hand along the cold metal that lined the elevator.
"We're here! Come on, let's go!" Snivy grabbed Kirlia again. "Hi, Solosis." She greeted the green blob.
"Hello, Snivy! Everybody's waiting!" He called.
The duo went to the automatic doors, watching them slide open. "Ah! Snivy! There you are!" The great green blob known as Reuniclus called. "Who's the other one with you?"
"Ah, that's Kirlia. She lives in the Train Yard." Kirlia smiled and waved. "So what's up?"
"Yeah, tell us!" Tepig squirmed. "I've been waiting for almost an hour!
"Well, I have been doing some recent studies... You know how the Rebels are against Pokepark?" Reuniclus asked. Recently, a dispute had come up with the residents of Pokepark, Wish Park, and the rebels, a group of outcast Pokemon that used to live in Pokepark. They didn't like the way things were run, so they seceded and formed a group called the Society of Uninfluenced Ones, or SOUO. They are led by former Pokepark resident, Hydreigon. He never really had a good reputation with the other residents.
"Yeah.." The other five responded.
"According to my mapping and spy calculations, they have constructed a bomb and are planning to drop it on us." Reuniclus explained, much to the other's dismay.
"OshaWHATTTT?" Oshawott cried. Tepig fainted on his seat, causing it to spin in a bunch of circles. Snivy jumped in surprise, and Kirlia fell down in a half-faint on Duosion.
"So you're telling us everybody in Pokepark is gonna die?" Snivy asked.
"Well, when I constructed the scientorium, I made it bomb-proof. We will have to hide down in here until the radioactivity wave passes." Reuniclus sheepishly responded, tapping his fingers together. "It should be coming around Thursday."
"Oh goodness... We have, like, two days!" Kirlia whispered.
"So what you're telling us is that we have to convince all of the Pokepark and Wish Parker's to get down in here in just two days?" Oshawott thought about this for a second.
"Well, let's go!" Tepig called, who had become conscious again.
~At Cove Town~
"Ah, it feels good to get out of the Tech Area every once in a while." Duosion commented.
"Agreed," Kirlia said. "It's nice to see some other plant specimens."
"Hee hee, then you'd like the Arbor Area." Tepig said. "It's overrun with undergrowth." The team of five kept walking down the path until running into the Mincinno.
"Hey, Mincinno!" Snivy said. bending down a little bit to talk to the fury chinchilla Pokemon.
"Hi Aces! What brings you to Cove Town?" Mincinno asked.
"Welp, we went to visit Reuniclus in the Tech Area... He told us the Dararians were gonna bomb the whole of Pokepark." Oshawott responded.
"Whaaat?" The furball exclaimed. "What am I gonna do? I'm gonna die!" She ran around in a circle, her tail trailing on the ground.
"Actually, if you come to the Scientorium on Wednesday night you'll be safe." Snivy said, reaching out one of her vines to stop Mincinno.
"Oh... Okay... I had better go tell Trubbish!" She exclaimed and ran off towards the alleyway.
"Oy vey." Groaned Duosion. "This is going to be a looooong day."
After a full morning of warning the Pokepark and Wish Park, the group sat down in the middle of Cove town, eating lunch they had bought from Espeon's restaurant. "I can't believe some of these dudes aren't believing us. Honestly, if somebody told me a bomb was gonna blow Pokepark up, I would run for the hills like a screaming Baby Pokemon." Oshawott complained, throwing his arms around for dramatic effect.
"We still have to cover the Arbor and Arcane Areas..." Snivy deadpanned.
"It's for the good of all Poke Kind!" Tepig piped up. "We're doing the world a favor!"
"He's right. We should be glad we know." Kirlia said, swinging her legs over the fountain.
"I'm going to go ahead and start working on the Arcane Area." Duosion said. She didn't need to eat, since she used cellular respiration.
"Yeah, you go do that. I'm gonna finish eating this mean panini!" Oshawott exclaimed, taking a crunchy bite out of his sandwich.
"I'll go take the Arbor Area, gonna get some berries and other food over there to prepare anyways." Snivy said as she jumped off the fountain, heading over towards the gates that Krookodile guarded.
Snivy jumped ontop of the crates that led to the windmill roof that she had climbed so many times. "Too bad this is gonna be a wasteland soon..." She thought, looking at Windmill Way down below her.
"HIYA SNIVY!" Whimsicott yelled, jumping up the crates after her.
"Hey, Whimsicott." Snivy sighed.
"Whatsa matter? Your mom yell at you again?" The fluffball asked.
"Worse than that... The rebels who left here a while ago somehow managed to create a bomb. Reuniclus told me and the rest of the Aces that they were planning to drop it on us on Thursday." She responded.
"WHAT? Are we gonna die? How the heck did he figure that out?" Whimsicott squawked, almost toppling over the side of the roof.
"He told the me and the group about it earlier today, and we were supposed to go warn everybody." The grass snake responded. "Apparently, the Scientorium doubles as a bomb shelter, so if we go down there we should be safe or something."
"Oh! Good! Everything is gonna be okay!" Whimsicott bounced off of the windmill. Snivy facepalmed at her superior optimism.
Snivy had just finished off Windmill Way when she walked over to Verdant Court. "Heya, Whirlipede. Hi, Ducklett." She continued greeting all the usual residents before walking into the palace where she and her mom lived. It wasn't really a palace, but more like a giant hole eroded into a rock that had been turned into living space.
"Hello, Snivy. What brings you back here so soon?" Queen Serperior asked her daughter.
"So I was in the train depot earlier today, and Kirlia told me to go visit Reuniclus in the Scientorium..." Snivy explained the whole story to her.
"How many times have I told you, Reuniclus is just an old bean who doesn't know what he's doing? Don't believe anything he says." Serperior stated after hearing the retelling.
"Mom, I'm not joking this time!" Snivy whined as she threw her arms up in the air for effect.
"You can say what you want, but I'm staying put right here. Now, go do your thing." Serperior said as she used her tail to push Snivy out the entrance.
Oh goodness... Snivy thought as she proceeded up her tree to get some berries. Why do all the bad things happen to me?
