"Thank Articuno that's all done with." Taki sighed.
"You mean thank Ho-oh." Petra corrected. "Articuno didn't send the fireball that destroyed the helicopter."
"Whatever." Chi laid back on a knoll. "What matters is that we're home, you're alive, and I left with minimal injuries."
"Define minimal." Petra laughed.
"I'm home!" Alice called as she closed the gates.
"How did the duo fare?" Taki smiled at his sister.
"Life imprisonment." Alice answered. "They're stuck in Mount Silver."
"That's about as good as I hoped." He rested his head on his hands.
"Hey, you got some packages here." Alice produced an armload of parcels.
"These must be old packages that the teams didn't accept." He opened the first one to see two Pokeballs attached to a note. "Dear Taki, you can't expect to leave Orre with an incomplete set, did you? –Wes P.S. Some of Eagun's books said that my ancestor was your ancestor's right hand man… Ain't that funny?" Taki quoted. "That's weird… But what are in the balls?" He released one to find Suicune was in it. "So, that's what he meant. One would think a thief would want to keep a rare Pokemon."
"There seems to be a package from Aisen here, too." Alice picked up a package from which an Eevee poked out of. "I wonder what he got you."
"I don't know…" The Eevee jumped out and landed on his stomach. "Oof! I guess we should get you a name… How about Prodigy?" The Eevee sounded in joy.
Iris came bolting in, somehow not tripping in her kimono. "Guys! You need to see what's on!" She brought down the main screen to show Steven in Ever Grande. "It's a state of the Region address."
"After the experience in Orre, I found that the Pokemon from outer regions are not dangerous, excepting in the case of being in the hands of criminals. We have seen this with my good friend Chi Taki." The four of them started laughing. "For this reason, I am opening trade links with Johto and Kanto. All Pokemon from these regions are now legal to own and use. That is all." The TV retracted as Petra and Taki were rolling around laughing.
"He… he gave in?" Taki strained.
"Good friend? I thought he said that if you showed your face there without official reason, that he would have you killed!" Petra added.
"…These are the invincible leaders of the Waterfall Gym." Alice sliced.
"Don't wear yourself out too much, Chi. Remember that Winona's reviewing the Gym tomorrow." Iris warned.
Taki stopped. "Wait… If Jothoian and Kantoian Pokemon are legal, then our favorite dark trainer would…"
"Ohhh Takiiii-Chiii!" A masculine voice sang from outside the gate. "Tiiimeee to playyyy!"
"…want to beat the spit out of me with his Umbreon…"
