Part 14 A Jr. Expedition Society Member is Born
The next day, "Good morning, Guys! I was wondering about this last night... where'd that those scarves come from? I reckon it looks mighty fine on you guys! Might need to get one myself, I reckon!" said Nuzleaf. They then left for school with Kylie. When they got to the plaza, "Huh? What's that?" said Kylie. They saw a tall yellow Pokemon stumbling along. "A-are you ok?" asked Kylie. "Absolutely wonderful. No worries. Happens all the time. I've got the world's worst sense of direction... especially in new places... and so I just wander about, bumping from place to place. It's quite the hassle! Do you children live in this village?" asked the stranger. "Yeah. I'm Kylie. And the Pikachu's name is Kyle, the Riolu wearing the outfit is Jordon, and the other Riolu is Vegeta." said Kylie. "Indeed! How precious you all are. But, silly me, I've not yet introduced myself. I am Ampharos! Known far and wide... as the Dashing Wanderer! I hope you'll take care to remember me. And now I'm off again!" said Ampharos, wandering to more walls. "Huh? He dropped something... I wonder what this is... Huh? He's already out of sight? I guess he wandered off without even noticing that he'd dropped it. I'd sure like to return it to him, but we've got to get on our way to school. Well, I guess we'll just have to wait until classes end for the day. Then we can go search for Ampharos to return this. Guess I'll hold on to it until then! Hey, Hippopotas?" asked Kylie. "Hm? Vat is it?" asked Hippopotas. "You may have seen a Pokémon called Ampharos around here a little while ago... well he dropped something of his, and now I've got it. If you see him, could you tell him that?" asked Kylie. "Mm-hmm. Sure. If he happens to come by zis way, I vill pass zat along." said Hippopotas. "Thanks, Hippopotas! Then I guess it's time we get to school!" said Kylie. It turns out they wouldn't be punished for leaving class early yesterday.
After school ended that day, when they got to the plaza, "Oh, I know, guys! I'm pretty sure I've seen an item like this for sale at Kecleon's shop. We should go ask Kecleon about it! He might know something useful." said Kylie. "Welcome! Step right up!" said Kecleon. "Um... we actually didn't come to shop today but to ask you to check something..." said Kylie. "Oh! Why, if this isn't... a Connection Orb!" said Kecleon. "A Connection Orb?" asked Vegeta. "Yes, yes. All Pokemon have bonds that link them to others, of course. Bonds of friendship, or even just acquaintance... those bonds that link Pokemon together like that... can be seen as actual lines connecting Pokémon in a Connection Orb like this one." said Kecleon. "Really? You can actually see the relationships between different Pokémon?!" asked Jordon. "That's right. If I may ask, did this orb perhaps come from our visitor this morning?" asked Kecleon. "Yeah. He dropped it before he left. He said his name was Ampharos. We wanted to give it back to him, but we don't know where he went off to... I thought that you might have some idea, so that why we came to you, Kecleon." said Kylie. "Ah, so that was the true identity of our odd visitor this morning... I thought so... but... I'm afraid that I have little better idea than you about where his might be now. I can tell you, however, that normally it is only shopkeepers like myself... or members of Lively Town's Expedition Society who carry these." said Kecleon. "What? The Expedition Society?!" asked Kylie. "Oh, hey! If you're looking for that Ampharos fellow... I passed by him a little while ago. Right near the village gate." said Raticade. "Really? Thanks so much!" said Kylie. They found out that he went to Poliwrath River.
Later at the end of the Mystery Dungeon, "Looks like we've come pretty far in... but we still haven't seen any sign of Ampharos, which means that... he must still be somewhere farther ahead of us. Oh well. I guess we'll just have to keep going if we want to find out." said Kylie. They were then attacked by the Poliwrath Bros and their Poliwag lackeys. Vegeta got knocked out which angered Jordon to the point where he turned Super Saiyan 3. They won after a hard fought battle. Then suddenly one of the Poliwrath Bros tried to grab Kyle, but was knoocked out by Ampharos. They then went back to Serene Village.
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So you came running after me just to return that Connection Orb?" asked Ampharos. "Yup. We had a harder time finding you than I thought we would, but I'm glad we did." said Kylie. "My, my, my! How remiss of me. Imposing such a burden on young children!" said Ampharos. "Hey, Ampharos... are you part of the Expedition Society?" asked Kylie. "No, I am not." said Ampharos. "Huh? Y-you're not...? Right. Ahh, that's too bad... I've heard that Expedition Society members carry Connection Orbs like that one, so... well, I just thought that maybe..." said Kylie. "Do you perhaps want to join the Expedition Society?" asked Ampharos. "Yeah! I definitely want to! Getting to go all over the world and meet all kinds of different Pokémon... and then someday, maybe I could even help out with... completing the World Map in the Expedition Society's Pokemon Nexus! That's my real dream!" said Kylie. "And a fine one it is! I think it is a positively splendid dream!" said Ampharos. "I know, right! It'd be the coolest thing ever! But everyone I know says the same thing... They all tell me it's impossible. They all say I can't do anything about it, because I'm still just a kid..." said Kylie. "True. I certainly have heard that children cannot join the Expedition Society. My, my, my. I wonder who decided a thing like that, hmm? But still... perhaps as a Junior member of the Expedition Society... there may be something you could do to aid them even now!" said Ampharos. "Wha-?" asked Kylie. "My, my, my! I guess that settles it! Here, I'll give you these!" said Ampharos. They were Junior Expedition Badges, Bags, and Gadgets! They then chose their name which is the RebornHope. They then went back home.
