(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.)
