"Victor and Gloria had arrived in Glimwood Tangle, where they came across a prank loving Impidimp. After saving the Pokémon from the consequences of its own pranks, Gloria caught it. With a new friend alongside them, our heroes continue onward…"
"Lost in Tangle"
Deep in Glimwood Tangle, Victor holds out a hand, "Silicobra, uses Brutal Swing!"
"Sili!" Silicobra swings its tail back and forth.
"Ra-boot!" Robot jumps back, dodging a tail swing, before jumping to the side, dodging another. "Ra-boot!"
"Alright, Robot, let's use Flame Wheel!" Victor instructs.
"Ra-boot!" Raboot starts to run forward, surrounding itself in flames. "Ra-boot! Ra-boot!"
"Sili!"
Silicobra jumps back, before digging into the ground, with Raboot continues to run past it, before running into a tree, with the flames dissipating.
"Ra… boot…" Raboot rubs its head.
"Impi! Impi!" Impidimp, watching everyone on top of a large mushroom, is laughing.
Victor scratches the top of his head, "I guess since Flame Wheel increases Raboot's speed, we're gonna need to work on controlling your speed."
"Ra-boot," Raboot walks over, placing its hands in its tufts.
"Impi, Impi," Impidimp continues to laugh, as Raboot looks over to it, angrily.
Gloria walks over to the group, "So is training going well?"
"In a way," Victor tells her, as Silicobra bursts out of the ground.
"Sili?"
"Any luck on figuring out where to go?" Victor asks.
"Unfortunately, even with the illuminating mushrooms, it isn't easy to navigate Glimwood Tangle," Gloria says.
"Well, maybe…" Victor starts, when they hear movement and turn to see approaching them from the darkness is an older woman and two Indeedee.
"Oh dear, I thought we wouldn't see another person in here," the woman says. "And you all lost?"
"Afraid so," Gloria starts. "I'm Gloria and this is Impidimp.
"I'm Victor and this are Raboot and Silicobra."
"Ra-boot," Raboot says, with Silicobra tries to hide behind it. "Ra-boot?"
The woman smiles, "Nice to meet you all. My name is Judy and these dears are Indeedee."
"Dee," one Indeedee says.
"Dee, dee," the other Indeedee says.
"Your Indeedee look different," Victor starts. "Could that be because they're different genders?"
"You surely are a bright one, are you?" Judy asks.
Victor blushes.
Victor's Rotom Phone flies up, "Indeedee, Female, the Emotion Pokémon, These intelligent Pokémon touch horns with each other to share information between them."
Gloria's Rotom Phone flies up, "Indeedee, Male, the Emotion Pokémon, Through its horns, it can pick up on the emotions of creatures around it. Positive emotions are the source of its strength."
"All true, all true," Judy starts. "Unfortunately, we also are having trouble guiding our way through this maze of a forest."
Gloria looks to Victor, "You were about to suggest something, did you?"
"I was just thinking, perhaps Corviknight could be able to see which way we need to go from above," Victor says.
"Glimwood Tangle's trees are supposed to be very thick, so it won't be able to see any possible paths, even from the sky," Judy says.
"Impi!" Impidimp calls out, with everyone looks to it, before placing its hand against its chest. "Impi, Impi."
"Of course, Impidimp's from Glimwood Tangle, it might be able to figure out a way," Gloria realizes.
"It's worth the try," Victor says.
"Dee, dee," male Indeedee lowers its head, slowly shaking.
"Go, Corviknight!" Victor throws a Poké Ball.
"Knigh!" Corviknight calls out.
"Corviknight, take Impidimp above the treeline, so it can find a way for us out of here," Victor instructs.
"Knigh," Corviknight nods its head.
Impidimp jumps onto Corviknight's back, "Impi, Impi."
"Knigh!" Corviknight flies up, as Impidimp holds onto its back, before flying through the trees and then above Glimwood Tangle. "Knigh."
Impidimp looks left to right, before pointing to the right, "Impi, Impi."
"Knigh," Corviknight nods its head.
Impidimp leads the group of Victor, Gloria, Judy, and the two Indeedee down a path, before they all fall knee deep into a deep puddle, with the Indeedee jump onto Judy.
"Argh! My new dress!" Judy yells.
Impidimp leads the group down another path, before they turn past a large mushroom, which lights up, revealing a large group of Passimian.
"It's a Passimian pack," Victor realizes.
"Hopefully they're not territorial," Gloria hopes.
Suddenly, the Passimian chase after the group.
"They are!" Judy yells.
Impidimp leads the group down another path, when they start to walk through a crosswalk, before hearing a loud noise. They look down at the other path to see a Galarian Ponyta stampede heading toward them.
The group starts to run away from the stampede, as Judy screams.
The group is standing around, trying to catch their breath.
The male Indeedee falls onto its butt, "Dee…"
The female Indeedee walks over to its friend, with a concern expression, "Dee?"
"I don't believe this!" Judy suddenly shouts, with the two Indeedee looking up at her. "That Impidimp of yours is just leading us into one trouble after another."
"Impi," Impidimp tries to hold in some laughter, as Judy looks at it, angrily.
Gloria sighs, "Unfortunate, Impidimp can be a prankster…"
"Then why would you want such a troublemaker for a Pokémon?" Judy asks.
Gloria is taken aback, as Impidimp watches her, before she looks down slightly.
"Impi…" Impidimp says, with an angry look, before it turns and runs away.
"Impidimp?" Gloria says, before she sees Impidimp disappears into the darkness. "Impidimp, wait!"
Gloria watches the distant darkness as Impidimp's footsteps fade, before she looks saddened.
"Good riddance," Judy says, under her breath, before turning and kneeling next to the male Indeedee. "Are you okay, my dear."
"Dee…" the male Indeedee turns to its Trainer.
Victor looks over to the Indeedee, "The Rotom Phone said that male Indeedee gets strength from positive emotions." He looks over to Gloria, who stops walking toward the disappeared Impidimp to turn to him. "So, maybe Impidimp isn't happy when it was messing with us."
"Why would Impidimp do something that wasn't making it happy?" Gloria asks, with Victor shrugs his shoulders.
The female Indeedee watches the two Trainers, before looking at the direction that Impidimp went, "Dee…"
The female Indeedee starts running in the same direction.
"Indeedee, dear!" Judy stands up, with the male Indeedee in her arms, before running after her other Pokémon. "Where are you going?! Wait!"
Victor and Gloria start to run after them.
The female Indeedee runs through the darkened Glimwood Tangle, before finally arriving at a clearing, with Impidimp seating in the center of the clearing.
Impidimp sees the female Indeedee approaching, before getting up and starts yelling, while waving an arm through the air, "Impi! Impi!" Impidimp takes a step back. "Impi!"
"Dee…" the female Indeedee says, before the rest of the group catches up, with it looking over to them.
"Impidimp, I was so worry…" Gloria says, as Impidimp looks away from her. "Impidimp?"
"Impi, Impi," Impidimp continues to look away from its Trainer.
Gloria falls to her knees, "I'm sorry, Impidimp. Victor said that you weren't happy when you were messing with everyone, but I don't understand why you would do something like that." She looks down slightly. "I'm sorry I can't understand how you feel, but I can't figure it out if you shut me out."
"Impi…" Impidimp softly says, before looking over to Gloria.
"Dee," the female Indeedee walks over to the two, before taking their hands in its hands and places them against its horns. "Dee!"
Indeedee's horns start to glow, as an aura barely glows around Gloria and Impidimp.
"Indeedee, dear, what are you doing?" Judy wonders.
"Of course," Victor says, with Judy looking over to him. "The female Indeedee is capable of sharing people and Pokémon's emotions with its horns."
A few more minutes pass before Gloria's eyes widen, "Impidimp…" She starts to tear up some. "You pull so many pranks, just because you want attention." She looks down at Impidimp. "And that's why you want to go with me? Because I paid attention to you."
"Impi…" Impidimp slowly nods its head, with small tears in its eyes.
"Impidimp…" Gloria is giving a small smile. "I care about you, a lot. You don't need to pull pranks for me to like you."
"Impi…" Impidimp nods its head again, before jumping into Gloria's arms.
Gloria and Impidimp hug each other, as the auras around them fade. Victor smiles.
"Dee," the male Indeedee stands up, seemed to be fully energized.
"Dee, Dee," the female Indeedee walks to the other Indeedee, happily.
"Dee, Dee," the male Indeedee rubs the back of its head, before the two Indeedee notice their Trainer walking past them.
"I'm so sorry," Judy walks over to Gloria and Impidimp. "I was far too hard on Impidimp." She sighs. "I let my frustration over been lost in Glimwood Tangle took over and snap unfairly at the little dear."
"Impi, Impi," Impidimp says, before it runs off and starts to touch the large mushrooms around the clearing, lighting them up.
"Dee?" the female Indeedee looks to the other Indeedee.
"Dee, Dee," the male Indeedee happily says.
The two Indeedee start to run around the clearing, lighting up the large mushrooms all around them, alongside Impidimp. Gloria stands up, as Victor walks over to her and Judy, as they watch the three Pokémon continuing to run around, lighting the mushroom.
"Impi!" Impidimp lights up the last mushroom, before jumping back to the two Indeedee and their Trainers.
The Trainers look around, amazed by the illuminating mushrooms around them, before Victor notices something.
"Hey, look," Victor points at a path that was made clear from the illuminating mushrooms. "I can see lights in the distance."
"That must be the way to Ballonlea," Judy realizes.
Gloria knees down to her Pokémon, "You did it, Impidimp. You found our way out of Glimwood Tangle. Well done, Impidimp."
"Impi," Impidimp smiles.
Impidimp starts to lead the group down the path.
"A misadventure with her newly caught Impidimp brought Gloria closer to her Pokémon, as their bond only grew stronger. Now, our heroes are ready to leave Glimwood Tangle, and arrive at Ballonlea. What other misadventures could they run into?"
"Find out, as the journey continues…"
