The next morning came and where Manny felt something missing. He wrapped his trunk and then woke up to see the baby was missing and then stormed over to Diego in a high fury. "Where's the baby?!"
"You lost it?" Diego replied, revealing he didn't have Roshan.
"Wait, if you don't have Roshan, then where-" Akito was about to ask before he and Manny and Diego had a pretty good idea of who had him.
"SID!" Manny, Akito, and Diego glared.
Sid was at a tar pit with two female sloths while he held the baby in his arms and the girls cooed over the human baby. Nadia was crossed with Sid for using her son to get girls.
"Ooh, it's so ugly," one female sloth said. "Positively adorable."
"Hello, pumpkin," another female sloth cooed while pinching Roshan's cheeks. "Hello, little baldy baby."
"Let's ruin Sid's fun." Estelle said.
The others nodded in agreement. The female sloths then asked Sid where he found the baby and he made up a story about how there were saber-toothed tigers everywhere and he just snatched him into safety.
"Lies." Akito said.
Roshan was then covered in tar and splashed some against the sloth.
Sid choked and tried to dry off, but then realized he had grabbed Manny's trunk. "Ah, hey there, Manny, what's shakin'?" He then saw the others with him, very crossed.
"What's the matter with you?" Manny grabbed Roshan by his trunk and shook the tar off gently.
"Excuse me, ladies," Sid excused himself from the girls. "You just keep marinating and I'll be right back." he then got out of the pool to catch up with the others as they took Roshan away from him.
"How are we going to get this tar off him?" Teddy asked.
"Here, give him to me, I think this is a good time for a bath." Nadia took her son back.
"Be my guest." Manny allowed her since she was his mother after all.
"No, no, no, no, guys, please, the baby, I need him!" Sid rushed over.
"This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with those girls, would it?" Larvitar asked.
"Oh, those ladies don't stand a chance." Manny added in deadpan.
"You guys have a very cruel sense of humor." Sid commented.
"Words are just words." Estelle said.
Nadia then came back with her son all cleaned up.
"Oh, thanks, Nadia, you're a real pal." Sid reached for Roshan.
"Oh, no, you don't." Nadia said as she kept Roshan away from Sid.
"Hey, hey, hey, I need him!" Sid frowned.
Nadia ignored him and walked along with the others with Roshan in her hands. Sid groaned and went back to the pool, only to find the two rhinos he had encountered before which made him scream in terror.
"Pretty tail walks back and suddenly moves like a cheetah. And that tiger... Yeah, I missed the great tracker," Manny ranted as he walked along which seemed to entertain Roshan. "Can he find a sloth? What am I? The wet nurse?"
"You seem to be entertaining him." Nadia smiled.
"What're you laughing at, bone bag?" Manny glanced to Roshan before holding out his trunk to the baby. "Look at you. You're gonna grow into a great predator. Huh? I don't think so. What have you got? You got a little patch of fur? No fangs, no claws. You're folds of skin wrapped in mush. What's so threatening about you?"
Roshan then hugged Manny's trunk which made the mammoth stop for a moment, emotionally.
"Aw!" Nadia smiled.
Manny blinked, then returned to focus. "Hey, does this look like a petting zoo to you?"
Roshan then slid down and plucked Manny's nose hairs as he gently fell to the ground. Manny screamed out in pain from that.
"That's gotta hurt." Estelle winced.
Roshan cooed and giggled.
"You're a brave little squirt, I'll give you that." Manny then said softly.
"He's just like his father." Nadia said.
Diego was then going one separate way with the Pokemon who kept a close eye on him. Sid ran into them before yelling out about a tiger like he was in distress.
"Sid, what's going on?" Kabutops asked.
"Where's the baby?" Diego demanded.
"Hurry..." Sid whispered before yelling out in pain. "Oh, he's got me, oh, help!"
"What are you doing?" Teddy asked.
"Get away from me..." Diego walked away.
The rhinos were heard and Sid then kicked Diego which caused the tiger to roar and bit down on the sloth.
"Ohh." The Pokémon said, understanding now.
The rhinos rushed over and looked unfortunate as they saw Sid in Diego's mouth.
"Aw, Carl!" one rhino complained. "The tiger and those creatures beat us to him."
"Yep, we sure did." Kabutops nodded.
"Wait a minute..." the other rhino walked over to sniff and examine Sid before grimacing. "Ugh! He's dead alright."
"Oh, carnivores have all the fun." the first rhino muttered as they then walked off.
"They sure do." Larvitar smiled.
The rhinos then walked off.
"Whew, that was close, I was almost donefor," Sid said once the coast was clear, but his neck was still stuck in Diego's jaw. "Alright, thanks. You can put me down now. Uh, Manny... Manny!"
"Diego, spit him out." Kabutops said.
"You don't know where he's been." Teddy added in.
Diego then did that.
"Guys, I thought we were in a hurry?" Manny walked over with the kids riding on his back again.
"Oh, we are." The Male Ralts smiled.
The Pokemon then joined their trainers on the mammoth's back.
"Onward then." Nadia said as she walked with Ingrid and Roshan.
"Boy, for a second there, I thought you were actually gonna eat me." Sid said to Diego.
"I don't eat junk food." Diego replied.
"Nice one." Larvitar laughed.
Sid then followed, a little anxious from Diego's response.
"Alright Diego, lead the way." Estelle said.
They then walked along. Nadia let Sid hold Roshan for a while. They came to stop at a geyser which made Sid come to sit on it after they had stopped since he got left behind.
"Hopefully it's not active." Ingrid said.
"Three... Two... One." Manny, Diego, and Kabutops counted down.
The geyser then went off with Sid on top of it.
"Sure is faithful." Manny commented.
"Yeah." Kabutops smirked.
They then continued on. Sid and Roshan started to poke each other like troublesome kids on a road trip in the back-seat.
"Sid, quit poking Roshan." Estelle told him.
"Yeah!" Teddy agreed.
"He started it." Sid pouted.
"We don't care who started it, we're ending it!" Ingrid said firmly.
They came to another stop and a tiny volcano let out a puff of red smoke which made them all stop then. A chunk of ice moved in front of them like a train and once it passed, the volcano puffed out green smoke which allowed them to continue.
"Cool." The Female Ralts smiled.
They came to an ice piece which was weighed down and the kids could see that it made Stonehenge which made them now see the legend and where it had come from as it was one of life's biggest questions and not even their parents could answer it for them.
"So that's where it came from." Estelle smiled.
"Finally, we know." Akito sounded relieved.
"I can't believe not even Mom or Dad knew," Vincent added in. "Not to mention Uncle Forte."
Diego walked ahead and saw a tiger footprint in the snow, he then covered it up to make it look like a human footprint so they could continue on.
"He's up to something." Vincent said.
Vulpix agreed knowingly.
They were then ice-skating.
"Whee!" the kids smiled.
Sid was skating circles around Manny and Diego. Kabutops then smirked before tripping the sloth and made him crash against a glacier.
"Hey, Sid." Manny smirked.
"Nice one." Diego smirked at Kabutops.
Kabutops smirked back.
They then kept walking until there was then a fork in the road.
"Which way?" Ingrid asked.
"Hey, maybe we could ask him for directions." Estelle pointed to a saber-toothed squirrel who was trying to bury his acorn in the snow.
"I'll ask him." Kabutops said.
The squirrel struggled, then looked up as Kabutops came to him.
"Hey, buddy, you see any humans come by here?" Kabutops asked.
The squirrel shook his head before he thought of something and then he had an idea.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love this game! I love this game!" Sid beamed.
The squirrel then held up three fingers and tried to describe the first word until he used his acorn like a backpack.
"A pack." Akito said.
The squirrel then nodded to that.
"A pack of long teeth and claws." Vincent then said which made Diego seem nervous.
"A pack of saber-toothed tigers." Estelle answered.
The squirrel nodded until Diego then flicked him away.
"Diego!" The Fudo twins glared.
"Whoops, my finger slipped." Diego replied.
They were then going to an ice cave and Diego could see some humans and wolves coming along. Roshan seemed to climb out his mother's arms and go to the mammoth.
"Hey, great news, I found a shortcut!" Diego announced.
"What do you mean you found a shortcut?" Larvitar asked.
"I mean faster than a long way around." Diego explained.
"Ow! We know what a shortcut is!" Manny groaned as Roshan tried to crawl on top of his head.
"Look, either we slip through in to beat the humans to Glacier Pass or we take the long way and miss them." Diego replied.
"I say we take the long way." Kabutops said.
"Hey, guys, check this out!" Sid walked over and held two icicles between his neck and acted like he was choking.
"Then again, maybe the shortcut would be a good idea." Larvitar said out of annoyance.
"Hey, Sid, Diego found a shortcut." Ingrid told the sloth.
Sid nervously looked up at the ice cave and dropped his icicles. "No thanks, I chose life."
"Then take the shortcut." Diego snarled.
"Are you threatening me?" Sid replied.
"MOVE, SLOTH!" Diego demanded which then caused an avalanche.
"Way to go, Diego." Akito said sarcastically.
"Quick! Inside!" Manny urged the others while Nadia and Ingrid already rushed inside.
Akito rushed inside at super-speed. The others made it and they were now trapped inside the ice cave. There were icicles shaking from above, but luckily, they stopped and stay put.
"Okay, I pick shortcut." Ingrid said as she held Roshan in her arms.
"Same here." Nadia said.
"Come on, guys, stick together," Diego told the others as they walked inside the cave. "It's easy to get lost in here."
"It is?" Teddy asked.
"I'd take his word for it." Estelle advised.
"Agreed." Akito nodded.
Larvitar clung close to Akito as even he seemed worried.
"Stay close." Akito said.
Larvitar nodded.
