Estelle woke up a little earlier than she should have. "We there yet?"

"No, sorry..." Lee told her.

"This is taking forever!" Tony groaned.

"Keep your pants on, we're halfway there now!" Lee scolded.

"Quit yelling!" Megan clamped her hands over her ears. "Ugh... I'm just so glad to have one other girl on this mission..." she then smiled to Estelle.

"Thanks, Megan." Estelle smiled.

After about thirty more minutes, they finally arrived at Pallet Town.

Lee let out a yawn. "We have reached our destination." he said jokingly like a GPS.

"Finally!" Tony griped.

Akito pulled his bandanna up and then took a stretch. "Man, I don't know what's longer, this trip or moving into Southdale, I swear, we spent all day in the van!"

"I think moving to Southdale." Vincent said.

Lee then landed the jet in a safe spot. "Okay, you guys ready?"

"I've been ready since we got in here!" Tony still groaned.

"I just thought of something," Vincent spoke up. "How do we explain to Ash, Emi, and everybody that we're in Pallet Town after we moved away from our hometown?"

"He's got a good point." Akito said.

"So what do we do?" Estelle asked the Clark siblings for help on this.

"Gadget time." Lee said.

The Fudo siblings looked curious.

"Ready, guys?" Megan asked her brothers.

"Ready!" the boys replied.

Megan then brought out a metallic square mirror. Marc, Tony, and Lee had special cell phones.

"Cool cell phones." Estelle smiled.

Megan then used the device and it changed Marc's, Lee's, and Tony's appearance.

"Alright, next is me and then, you three will get your disguises." Megan said.

"Us?" Akito, Estelle, and Vincent asked.

"Yep." Megan said before using the device on herself, making her look different.

The Fudo siblings then agreed with it, it might be better, so then they wouldn't have trouble to explain their sudden arrival in Pallet Town. Once Megan was ready, she changed them as well and once they were set, they got going to start their mission.

"Alright, let's get going." Lee said.

With that, the Fudo and Clark siblings wandered into the Pokemon world of Pallet Town. On the way, Akito was humming a travel tune to fill in the background.

"I wonder if we'll see any Pokemon." Tony said.

"Gee, I dunno, here, in Pallet Town?" Vincent replied sarcastically.

"Good point, we might see some Pokemon." Tony smiled.

"I'll never forget the time Teddy hatched..." Estelle sighed with a smile. "I was so proud... I really felt like a mother."

"I bet you would make a wonderful mother." Lee smiled to her.

"Aw, thanks, Lee!" Estelle smiled back.

Lee blushed, Estelle blushed too as they smiled to each other.

Emi was very wore out with trying to heal and take care of the sick Pokemon, she had never been this tired in all her life.

"I brought you some lunch, sweetie..." Delia decided to stop by.

"Thanks, Mom, but I'm afraid I won't have time to eat it..." Emi groaned slightly.

"Oh, dear, I'm sure things will get better." Delia assured her daughter.

"I hope you're right, Mom..." Emi sighed, very exhausted and overworked.

"Your Majesty, there's one more Pokemon that needs to be cured, it's Articuno." The maiden servant told her.

Emi heaved a sigh. "Excuse me, Mom..." she told Delia and went to get on it.

"Oh, my... This has even gotten to one of the ancient bird Pokemon?" Delia asked out of worry.

"Afraid so..." Emi replied to her mother.

"Oh, dear..." Delia sighed.

Emi sighed. "I'll be right over... Gosh, I wish I had some help..."

"I'm sure some will come soon." Delia soothed her daughter.

Then came a knocking at the front door.

"Want me to get that?" Delia offered.

"Allow me..." Emi yawned, she stretched a little, and went to the door and looked around, then spotted the disguised Clarks and Fudos. "Um, hello there, how may I help you today?" she asked with her best courteous smile, but looked extremely tired due to the extra work she had been dumped on lately ever since she became a Pokemon Princess.

"We've come to help you with healing any Pokemon, you have any left to heal and also, possibly do a little browsing." Vincent, in his disguise, said, roughly.

"Help me?" Emi sounded relieved, but was still tired, so she was out of breath and very much exhausted. "Oh, you don't have to do that..."

"Trust in us..." Akito took her hands and looked into her eyes.

When Emi looked into his eyes, she knew who he was and who the others, except for the Clark siblings, were.

"Please come in." Emi said.

The two pairs of siblings then came in.

"Honey, I better get going," Delia told Emi. "Call me if you need anything."

"I think I got this now, Mom." Emi smiled.

Delia smiled back, gave her a good luck hug, and decided to get back home.

"So, who do we need to help you heal?" Megan, in her disguise, asked.

"Oi..." Emi rubbed her face. "Where do I begin?'

"Well, how many do you have left to heal?" Marc, in his disguise, asked.

"Too many I can even count..." Emi showed them the reports of the incoming Pokemon.

"Oh, my..." All seven of them said.

All of them were then lead to Articuno.

"This is an Articuno," Emi introduced them to the freezing blue bird Pokemon. "It's one of the Legendary Pokemon and it's known for controlling the cold."

"Oh, my goodness..." Estelle, in her disguise, said out of worry.

Emi sighed, very exhausted and worried.

"We'll help you heal it, you majesty." Estelle, in her disguise, said.

"Thank you so much, I need all the help I can get..." Emi smiled to them, but she was extremely weary due to the work she had been assigned to lately. "You all are like signs from Heaven above... Just bless you."

"You're welcome." the Clark siblings smiled.

"We're gonna help, just you wait." Vincent soothed.

"I'd just like to know who's responsible for all these sick Pokemon..." Emi sighed. "That would make me feel relaxed, that way when I work, I don't feel so stressed out all the time... Please tell me you know who it is."

"Sorry, but we'll have to investigate or something." Marc soothed.

"Right!" Akito agreed, liking his choice of words.

"Well, alright then." Emi said.

"So tell us, when exactly did this start happening?" Akito asked Emi like a pro detective like his father before him was.

"It started about three days ago." Emi told him.

"What happened?" Lee asked.

"Just the usual stuff," Emi shrugged. "There were only a few sick Pokemon, but right as it happened, there was like a virus that spread to nearly all of the Pokemon, I haven't seen so many come in at a time!"

"Did they eat anything unusual?" Akito asked.

"Hmm, no, nothing that I..." Emi said before remembering something. "Actually, yeah, each of the Pokemon seemed to have eaten a berry that seemed to be different than any of the other berries that anyone has ever seen."

The sibling group concluded that this berry had to be the cause of this mess.

"What kind of berry was it?" Tony queried.

"Um, it was dark purple with spikes and it was oval shaped." Emi described the best she could from what she heard from the Pokemon trainers and people who found the Pokemon sick.

"A berry with spikes...?" Estelle winced.

"That's what I heard, I've never seen one before either actually..." Emi shrugged.

"Oh, my goodness." Megan, in her disguise, winced.

"I don't know what it is or where it came from." Emi continued.

"Don't worry, we know what to do." Marc reassured.

Emi smiled to them. "Thank you all so much... But, I think a detective should be in charge of this..." she then hid a knowing wink to Akito.

"Really?" Tony asked.

"Allow me." Akito smirked, taking charge.

"Why you?" Tony folded his arms.

"Because my dad's a real detective and I wanna be just like him when I grow up." Akito whispered.

Tony paused for a moment, but then folded his arms. "Fine..."

"But don't you also wanna be a superhero?" Estelle whispered back.

"Nothing says I can't do both." Akito whispered back.

"So, are you in or out?" Emi asked her helpers.

Akito smiled back. "We're in."

"I'm just so glad to have some help..." Emi was deeply relieved. "I had to cancel a manicure appointment with Jessie because of this sick Pokemon outbreak, I knew I could count on you."

"Um, but we only just met." Akito said nervously.

Unfortunately for the Fudo siblings and the Clark siblings, the gadget they used still had a few kinks and the disguises wore off.

Emi hid a smirk. "I knew it was you all along, Akito."

"What gave it away?" Akito asked the girl he still loved, even after all these years.

"Oh, sometimes, a girl just knows..." Emi giggled a little.

"It was my eyes, wasn't it?" Akito asked.

"Somehting like that..." Emi smiled. "And you are still just as handsome as ever..." she then gave Akito a hug, it had been a very long time since they last saw each other in person and could only communicate through online video chat.

Akito blushed in the hug, hugging her right back, he knew he had to let go, but he found himself unable to.

"AHEM!" Tony cleared his throat.

"Oh, right..." Akito let go with a sheepish chuckle.

"So, where should we start, Mr. Detective?" Megan asked.

"Hmm..." Akito tried to think.

Emi groaned slightly when she was given more calls and emails about the sick Pokemon. "When I was a kid, this sounded like a fun job!" she whined slightly.

"There, there..." Estelle soothed. "It'll get better."

"I sure hope that you're right, Estelle," Emi groaned before whispering to her. "By the way, have you found the right guy yet?"

"I'm pretty sure I have..." Estelle blushed, then glanced to Lee as he and his siblings explored a little while Akito was looking for a place to start their case/mission.

"Who's that, huh?" Emi smirked.

"Lee Clark..." Estelle rubbed her arm. "I think he's the one..."

"Ooh, I knew it, I knew that you would find the right guy." Emi smiled.

"Yeah, but I don't know if he feels the same way about me." Estelle frowned.

"That's always tough..." Emi sympathized. "I'd probably ask him if he'd be interested in a relationship or not, just don't say 'I love you' right away, that creeps the person you like back."

Estelle nodded, taking advice from that.

"Get to know him a little first..." Emi smiled like a confident big sister. "Make sure it's just the two of you."

"Okay, I'll do that, thanks, Emi." Estelle smiled.

"Of course." Emi smiled back.

"Okay, we need to find out where these berries are coming from,..." Akito tried to think. "Emi, do you know where these trainers are buying their berries for their Pokemon?"

"Well, the trainers said that there was this big muscular hooded figure giving the berries away for free and as for the wild Pokemon, such as Articuno, they found the berries next to the Pokemon half-eaten." Emi told him.

"Hmm..." Akito tried to think. "I think we should look and ask around for this guy... He sounds mysterious."

"And one of the trainers even said that he was able to get an Onix unstuck from a hole by actually lifting it out." Emi told him.

"Very interesting..." Akito pulled a thinking face. "Sometimes I think I need to 'Noodle Dance'."

"Noodle Dance?" The Clark siblings asked, confused.

"Something I heard about when I was a little kid..." Akito chuckled sheepishly.

"It's where you do a little dance and you think about a solution." Vincent explained.

"Ohh." The Clark siblings said, understanding.

Akito, Estelle, and Vincent then did a quick dance which the Clark siblings stared at. It was their Noodle Dance.

'I hope this finds a solution.' Megan thought to herself.

After the dance, the Fudos stopped.

"I got it!" Akito cheered, then laughed a little once he remembered who had always done that when she would finish her noodle dance. "Okay, guys, we better explore around town to look out for any suspicious characters."

"Remember, a muscular, hooded figure," Emi reminded them before they went off. "Be careful, Akito, I know I don't have to worry about you being weakened down, but please, be very careful out there..."

"I will." Akito said, kissing his girlfriend.

Emi smiled fondly from the kiss and allowed them to go investigate.
