Chapter 3: The Visit.
"With Dr. Baksan? For real?!" Meena exclaimed. "Yeah. Look at my phone." Yuno hands her phone to Meena. "Oh. I see." Meena said. "Hey speaking of that, Where did you guys find us." Wataru asks. "Oh, uhm, we are hunting for spoils and we are trying to sell it to the shopkeepers." Yuno answers. "Ah. I see." Tatsuya sighed.
With Dr. Baksan and Ropple…
"Doctor, are you sure you are coming? I maybe think that it is so awkward." Ropple asks. "Of course I am M'boy!" Dr. Baksan chuckled. "Hahaha. So, what's the next lesson for next week?" Ropple asks. "I'm still working on it m'boy." Dr. Baksan answers. "Ah. Okay then." Ropple said while driving the darbaba on the way to the river crossing.
With Meladee & the others…
"Uh, are you sure this is a good idea for visiting them?" Kutz asks. "They are team Tatsuya after all." Kee Keema giggled. "Yeah. I guess you're right Kee." Kutz sighed.
"Don't worry, Yuno & Meena are neighbors so there is still time to visit them too." Meladee winks. "T-thanks." Kutz smiled a bit. They all went to Grandera River to cross to the other side. "I can ferry you across for 10 tems, what do you say?" Vortus asked. "All Aboard." Leynart smirks. They all went to the other side of the Bog & they we're on their way to Lanka to see Yuno and the others.
At Lanka's Inn(Yuno's residence)
"So, I heard that there is a war in 5 weeks." Wataru said. "Oh yeah. Do you want to join us?" Meena pouts. "Sure we can, after all we are the troublesome four." Tatsuya joked. "Hahahaha! It's supposed to be Elite four." Yuno giggled. Outside of the Inn, Meladee and the others heard them talking about the war. "Well guys, shall we go in?" Kutz mumbled. "C'mon! Let's go!" Kee Keema went inside. "H-hey!" Sogreth followed him along with Leynart and the others.
"Hello Ms. Ayn. Is Yuno here?" Sogreth greeted and asked politely. "Oh! Sogreth! Long time no see. She's at the table with her team. By the way, how are you?" Ayn asks. "I'm fine. Thank you." Sogreth said calmly. "It's been a while!" Meladee winks. "Hi Meladee! How's Vahadina coming along?" Tatsuya grinned. "Why isn't Ropple and Mitsuru here yet?" Leynart raised an eyebrow. "Mitsuru's at the tavern." Ropple said he will be a little bit late." Wataru answered. "Oh. I see." Leynart mumbled. "I'll go get him!" Kutz raised her right hand and decided to go to the tavern.
"May we join with you guys for lunch?" Kee keema asks. "Sure! Yuno made us some fish supply and delicious bento!" Meena exclaims. "Hehehe." Yuno smiles. "Wow. This is good, even for a beginner like you, Yuno." Sogreth stuffed his bento. "Thanks. I'm glad you guys liked it." Yuno said politely. "When did you learn this recipe, Yuno?" Meladee asks. "In my College Career." Yuno answered. "It's good." Leynart said.
At the tavern…
"The drink is really good. One more orange cola please." Mitsuru said. "On the way, Sir." The bar tender said. "Here you are, Sir." The bar tender gave his order. "Thank you." Mitsuru said politely. Kutz went inside the tavern and went on the table "I'll have grape soda please." Kutz ordered. "Here you go." The bar tender gave the grape soda to Kutz. "Kutz! Long time no see!" Mitsuru shakes hand with her. "Mitsuru! How are you?" Kutz asks. "I'm fine. How about you?" Mitsuru answers. "I'm good as ever." Kutz answered back. "I heard about the war is going to start for 5 weeks!" Mitsuru exclaimed. "Yup. I know. Meladee and the others are discussing about it right now in Yuno's residence." Kutz mumbled. "Shall we go to Yuno's house? I really want to join forces with you guys instead of going by myself." Mitsuru asks. "Sure you can!" Kutz smiled and grabbed Mitsuru's hand on their way to Yuno's house.
At Yuno's residence…
"So, Yuno how's Lanka going on? Are you still hunting for spoils to sale?" Meladee asks. "Yes, I am. Lanka's doing fine and quite improving." Yuno answers. "So about the war…" Leynart said unfinished. "Hey!" A voice of a pankin said politely. "Ropple! Long time no see! How's your studies at Lourdes?" Yuno asks. "Yup! More exciting things are coming along at Lourdes, I really got high grades from Dr. Baksan here with me." Ropple approaches them along with Dr. Baksan. "Hey Guys!" Kutz exclaimed alongside Mitsuru. "Hey Mits! Long time no see. How's freshman year?" Kee Keema chuckled. "Well. It's quite fun." Mitsuru answered. "Oh Ropple, did you just got here?" Mitsuru adds. "Yes." Ropple answered.
"I heard about the war that you we're discussing, I guess you need some of my help, Am I correct?" Dr. Baksan said cheerfully. "Yes, thank you doctor." Meladee said calmly. "Well you see. You need to trust your partners and try to train for the ones you love." Dr. Baksan acknowledged. "What do you mean Sir?" Wataru asks. "Well you see, some of the participants of the war 4 years ago did not use their friendship and strength of teamwork to compete with the demonkin." Dr. Baksan explains. "So we need to split up and search for the one who is causing this war?" Tatsuya scratched his head. "Correct." Dr. Baksan said.
"So, how we will be formed into teams?" Yuno asks. "You will all split into 5 teams each." Dr. Baksan answers. "So that means 1 team has 3 members?" Meena said. "Yes, Indeed. Tatsuya & Wataru will be the 1st division team." Dr. Baksan points to them. "Alright!" Wataru brofist with Tatsuya. "Will be the amazing traveler team!" Tatsuya exclaimed. "Good. Yuno and Meena, you will be in the 2nd division team." Dr. Baksan said. "Yes!" Yuno hi-5's with Meena. "Will be really good, Sir Baksan." Meena smiled. "Very well, four division teams will be formed but the 3 man team will be the leading team. Ropple, you can pair up with Mitsuru." Dr. Baksan smiled at his student. "Nice choice." Mitsuru nodded. Ropple just smiled back. "4th division team would be kutz & kee keema." Dr. Baksan said. "Alright sir." Kee Keema nodded. "hmph." Kutz mumbled with a smile.
"Meladee, Leynart & Sogreth. As the leading team, you will all be responsible for the formations and strategy. Pick a leader." Dr. Baksan said. "I will sir. Since I formed this team with these 2 since I was highschool, I should be responsible for these teams." Meladee raised a hand. "You know Sogreth, Meladee's been a great leader since our years we met." Leynart grinned. "I know, she's really good at leading." Sogreth agreed to his statement. Meladee winked at the 2. Leynart & Sogreth thumbs up.
Dr. Baksan left and decided to go back to Lourdes to his class later at 2:00pm. "So guys, let's discuss about the strategy." Meladee winks. "Okay!" Everybody raised a thumbs up.
