(The next day, at the lab….)

Earnest: Come again, Erika?

Erika: You heard me, Professor! My brother has some sort of strange ability.

Earnest: Interesting. Erika, do your parents know anything about this?

Erika: I doubt it seeing that they were pretty shaken up after Team Snaggem took them thirteen years ago….

Earnest: Ah and you don't want to get them involved again.

Erika: Yeah.

Aria's voice: Erika!

Erika: Huh? (She looks up and sees Aria's balloon.) Aria!

Aria: (The balloon lands and Aria jumps out.) I'm back!

Erika: It's great to see you! (She hugs Aria and then let's goes.) What brings you here?

Aria: Actually, an old family friend does. I thought I stop in and see you. So, what's the news?

Erika: Afraid I only have bad news. Oliver got away again. Ooh, I never have been so mad in all my life! If had the chance, I would have used Aqua Tail on Charizard and wrapped things up!

Aria: Tough break, Erika.

Earnest: And that isn't all. Apparently, Oliver has some sort of special ability.

Aria: Have you asked your parents if they know what it is?

Erika: I doubt if they know anything, Aria.

Earnest: And she doesn't want to get them involved again after what they've been through.

Aria: Well, that's understandable.

Erika: Aria, can you take me to Agate Village before nightfall?

Aria: Sure but why?

Earnest: That's where Grand Master Greenville is being held.

Aria: Huh? Why do you want to see that jerk?

Erika: He might know something.

Aria: Well…alright since Agate Village is where I have to go anyways. Let's go!

Earnest: Best of luck, Erika.

Erika: Thanks, Professor. I'll see you later.

Aria: (She and Erika jump in.) Agate Village here we go!

(The two girls take off.)
