In the morning in Dragon Land, there were voices heard as Akito, Estelle, and Lee slept. The voices made the three of them stir slightly as they hadn't expected visitors.

"They look kinda scary..." a male voice said. "Are they gonna eat us?"

"No, they're like Max and Emmy, but bigger..." a female voice said.

"I don't think this is safe..." another male voice said.

"Hey, could you keep it down? We're trying to sleep." Lee groaned, trying to get back to sleep.

"That one talked!" a different female voice squeaked.

Estelle groaned and sat up, rubbing her eyes, then looked to see four colorful figures. "DRAGONS!"

"HUMANS!" the dragons called back.

Estelle and the dragons screamed and they ran their seperate ways, Estelle hid behind a tree while the dragons hid behind the bushes that had berries attached to them.

"Mm~... Dragon Berries..." the blue dragon smiled, licking his lips.

"Wait, um, you wouldn't happen to be friends of Max and Emmy? Would you?" Estelle asked out of hope.

"They're our best friends." the blue dragon smiled.

The pink dragon smiled halfway, but she picked up her wings and flew over, deciding to come out of her shell a little since this human knew her best human friend. "You know Max and Emmy?"

"It's a long story..." Estelle said. "Wow, you can fly."

"Lots of dragons around here fly," the pink dragon smiled. "You guys are humans too, hmm?"

"Well,... Mostly..." Estelle chuckled.

"Are you sure you should be talking to her? She could be dangerous." The green dragon head said.

"Is he always this paranoid?" Estelle asked.

"You could say that..." the pink dragon said.

"Aw, Zakky, she doesn't look that dangerous..." the purple dragon head told the green head right next to her. "Besides, she looks cute and I just looove her outfit!"

"Oh, thank you..." Estelle curtsied. "Oh, wait, I don't know any of your names."

"Oh, I'm sorry, that was kinda rude..." the pink dragon said. "Well, I'm Cassie."

"Hi, Cassie." Estelle smiled.

"Hi, my name is Ord." the blue dragon introduced himself to the teenage girl.

"Hi, Ord." Estelle said then, smiling.

"And we're Zak and Wheezie!" the purple dragon finished with her loud giggle that followed with a snort.

The green dragon rubbed his head. "Uh, excuse my sister, she's kinda loud..."

"That's okay..." Estelle said. "Nice to meet you all, my name is Estelle."

"Nice to meet you, Estelle." Wheezie smiled.

Estelle then looked and noticed each of their necklaces with different symbols. "Nice necklaces."

"Necklaces?" the dragons asked.

Estelle gestured to her neck to show what she meant.

"Oh, these?" Cassie looked down, then back up with a small smile. "These aren't necklaces, these are our Dragon Badges."

"Dragon Badges?" Estelle asked.

"You don't know what Dragon Badges are?" Wheezie asked.

"I don't think so..." Estelle shrugged.

"We're born and blessed with them," Cassie explained. "Everybody has a different badge that symbolizes their civic and moral duty. Whenever we have an adventure together and do something that our badge symbolizes, it glows."

"Oh, that's cool..." Estelle smiled. "Have your badges all shined at once before?"

"No, I don't think they ever will..." Zak shrugged.

"That'd be kinda pretty though." Ord chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess it would," Estelle smiled before shaking her head. "Anyways, we need your help, Max and Emmy are in trouble."

"Max is in trouble?" Ord frowned. "Oh, no! He's my bestest buddy!"

"What's happened?" Cassie asked.

"Someone took them and I think we need your help," Estelle told the dragons. "Can you help?"

"We have school..." Wheezie frowned. "But..."

Suddenly, an old yellow dragon walked over. "Hola, ninos." he greeted.

"Hi, Quetzal." the dragons greeted the older dragon.

"Sir, I know your students have school, but-" Estelle was about to tell him.

"Si, I know, Max and Emmy are in trouble." Quetzal already knew.

"You do?" Estelle asked.

"Come with me, and bring your friends..." Quetzal sounded grave.

"Could I help them, Quetzal?" Cassie asked.

"Si, Cassie, we will meet you to escule." Quetzal agreed, going with Ord, Zak, and Wheezie.

Cassie nodded, then flew by Estelle's side as they went back to the campsite as Akito and Lee were already awake.


"There you are!" Akito scolded his younger twin sister. "You don't go running off like that! What if you got hurt?"

"Sheesh, take it easy, Akito, you're starting to sound like Mom!" Estelle replied.

"Oh, my, I really am," Akito said before seeing Cassie. "And do you realize that there's a dragon next to you?"

"Yeah, this is Cassie." Estelle introduced.

"Um... Hi..." Cassie gave a small smile and waved a little shyly.

Lee's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "DRAGON!"

"Lee, calm down, Cassie here is a friend of Emmy and Max." Estelle said.

"Really?" Lee asked.

"I'm closer with Emmy, but yes," Cassie smiled. "They're our best friends."

"Our? So I'm guessing we're going to meet the rest of their dragon friends." Akito said.

"Sounds like it." Estelle said.

"They're at school now," Cassie said. "I'll take you there." she then offered.

"Wait, you go to school?" Lee asked.

"Oh, yeah," Cassie thought maybe Lee didn't know what a school was. "A school is a place where you go to learn stuff, read stories, play, and..."

"Actually, in high school, we don't play, if you call dodge-ball playing." Lee said.

"You don't play in your school?" Cassie pouted. "That sounds unfair!"

"Well, I do play sports, but mostly after school..." Lee said with a rather cocky smile. "I'm a great player and a captain to a lot of the sports teams."

"Yep, it's true, he's really good at all sports," Estelle smiled. "Anyways, we better go and meet up with the others."

"Where is this school of yours then?" Akito asked the pink dragon.

"I'll take you there..." Cassie said as she fluttered her wings that lifted her off the ground. "Do either of you want a ride?" she then offered. "I always fly Emmy and Ord flies Max around."

"I'll take you up on that offer." Estelle smiled.

"Uh, think you can give me an actual lift to that school?" Lee asked Akito.

"Sure." Akito chuckled.

Cassie then came down in front of Estelle and bent down. "Okay, hop on! I really don't mind."

Estelle carefully climbed onto Cassie's back.

Cassie stumbled at first, but carried Estelle securely on her back. "Up we got then!" she said before fluttering her wings again and was going up to the sky. To Cassie's surprise, Akito was flying in the air and was carrying Lee, giving him a lift. "I never knew humans could fly..." the pink dragon muttered.

"Akito's a special kind of human and so am I..." Estelle said.

Cassie smiled, then proceeded to fly them over to her and her friends' school.

'I hope the kids are okay.' Estelle thought to herself.

"Man, I love the view from up here!" Akito chuckled as he passed the clouds.

Lee was just dumbstruck that he was meeting and talking with an actual dragon. What was next?


Meanwhile...

Max and Emmy groaned as they were slowly waking up from wherever they were, but they knew that they were together and this was not their bedroom at home.

"W-Where are we?" Max asked, holding onto his sister.

"I have no idea..." Emmy frowned as she held him back.

Cassidy and Butch's laughs were heard.

"Come out!" Max glared. "I'm not afraid of anything! My best friend's a fire-breathing dragon!"

"Such tough words for such a little brat..." Cassidy's voice mocked.

"Who are you?! And why did you kidnap us?!" Emmy glared.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Butch's voice laughed. "This is the only way we can get the Pokemon we deserve!"

"Pokemon?" Max and Emmy asked.

"You seriously don't know what Pokemon are? What dumb kids." Cassidy's voice said.

"We know what Pokemon are!" Max glared. "We just... Didn't think they were real..."

"Yeah, and leave us alone, you bullies!" Emmy glared as well.

Cassidy and Butch just laughed at their threats.

"You're gonna regret kidnapping us!" Max glared.

"Yeah, yeah..." Butch laughed.

"I don't understand," Emmy glared. "If you want Pokemon, then what do you want with us? We don't even have Pokemon!"

"No, but if we know that twerpette and her boyfriend, they'll bring her twin brother along with some unique friends of yours, along with the Pokemon." Cassidy said evilly.

"And we'll get our just rewards, unlike those idiots, Messy and Lames." Butch added with a wicked grin.

"Who and who?" Emmy and Max asked.

"None of your business, but they're total losers and nearly made the whole Team Rocket name a disgrace and laughing stock!" Cassidy snarled, then smirked. "We just have to wait... Your precious babysitter will be here with her precious Pokemon and she'll have no choice, but to surrender."

"Not if Lee has anything to say about it!" Max glared.

"Just enjoy your cushiness while you can, 'cuz it ain't gonna last very long." Butch snarled.

"Let's leave them, their babysitters should be here any minute." Cassidy said.

"You won't get away with this!" Emmy shook her fists.

Cassidy and Butch just laughed since they were little kids who didn't have any powers other than the dragon scale to take them to Dragon Land.

"You bullies!" Max snapped.

"Don't worry, Max, I'm sure Lee and Estelle will find us and help us..." Emmy tried to soothe her little brother.

Max hoped that his older sister was right.
