Reunited

After dinner, the Loud sisters gathered in Lori and Leni's room for a sibling meeting. They had Clyde attend via video chat. Once they were all in attendance, Lori started the meeting.

"So what's this all about?" asked Luna.

"This is about Lincoln being in that Galar Region place all by himself with those Pokemon creatures and us not being there to help him." said Lori.

"I know, Lori. He shouldn't be wandering through an entire region by himself while doing that Gym Challenge thing." said Luan.

"And why should he get to hang out with those cool-looking Pokemon without us? That Scorbunny looked awesome, and so did a lot of those other Pokemon we saw in that Wild Area place." said Lana.

"I want a cute Pokemon!" said Lola.

"I think those ghost-looking Pokemon that were hanging around that tower looked like my kind of Pokemon." said Lucy.

"Of course they do." said Lynn.

"Linky needs us!" said Leni.

"And I don't want that Hop guy taking my place as Lincoln's best friend. And what kind of friend would I be if I wasn't there to have Lincoln's back?" asked Clyde.

"Clyde, calm down. When he introduced that Scorbunny that was with him to us, Lincoln did call you his best friend. I'm pretty sure that Hop person he told us about is as much a friend as you, Rusty, Liam, Zach, and Stella are." said Lori.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Just because he has another friend doesn't make me any less his best friend." said Clyde.

"Anyway, we're getting off topic." said Lori.

"Yeah. We need to get to the Galar Region to help out Lincoln." said Luna.

"But what can we do? Mom and Dad told us not to." asked Lana. After a minute of thinking, Lori realized something.

"Not necessarily, you guys." said Lori.

"What do you mean?" asked Lola.

"They didn't actually tell us not to go; they only said that they didn't want all of us going to the Galar Region. So we should send only some of us there." said Lori.

"Hey, yeah!" said Lana.

"I'll go with, also." said Clyde.

"But what about your dads? You know how protective they can be of you." asked Lynn.

"I'll leave a note explaining everything, sneak out of the house, and make my way over to your place to go with you to the Galar Region." said Clyde.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" asked Lana.

"Yes. I need to be there for Lincoln, and I'm sure my dads will understand." said Clyde.

"Okay. Now to discuss which sisters should go there." said Lori.

"But how many of us sisters should go?" asked Leni.

"Maybe four, for now." said Lori.

"Okay, so which four sisters should go?" asked Luan.

"Well I have Fairway University classes to attend. Now that we know where Lincoln is and me knowing that some of us will be there to help him will allow me to focus on my studies." said Lori.

"I'm out, too. Softball season just started." said Lynn.

"As much as I want to go and get my own cute Pokemon, I am NOT missing another pageant. Lindsey Sweetwater is already getting more wins than I'm comfortable with and I don't want that to continue." said Lola.

"I want to continue doing Funny Business gigs. I can focus now that I know Lincoln is okay." said Luan.

"Lily's out because she's only a baby." said Lori.

"Poo-Poo." Lily said in a crabby tone of voice.

"I can't go because I need to get started working on a way to get Lincoln and whoever goes to the Galar Region back here to Royal Woods." said Lisa.

"Well since summer vacation just started, I don't have school to worry about, so I can go." said Lana.

"What about your pets?" asked Lori.

"I'll leave a feeding schedule for all of them. Can whoever stays behind take care of them?" asked Lana.

"No problem, Lana." said Lynn.

"I want to go as well." said Lucy.

"I'll go, too. I'll need to tell my friends that I'll be away for a while." said Luna.

"I'll go, too. The mall is still closed due to a flea infestation, so all stores, including Reininger's, are still closed." said Leni.

"I know. Where did all those fleas come from?" asked Lori. Lana rolled her eyes back as she remembered her trip to the Royal Woods Mall a week ago.

Flasback: One week ago.

Lana was walking around the mall with a jar full of fleas, giving them a tour of the place; hoping it would help take her mind off her missing brother.

"This is the mall where my big sister Leni works. Here's the pet store where I get snacks for my other pets, and a little something for myself." Lana said to the fleas. Her stomach suddenly rumbles and she pulls out her device to look at the clock on it. "Hmm. Speaking of snacks, maybe I'll go in for a quick bite to eat." She looks around and sees a nearby bench and she sets the jar down on it. "You guys wait here; the store owner is very strict when it comes to keeping the animals in there 'flea free'. I'll be right back." Lana runs into the pet store for some lunch. Just then, a small group of teenage girls rushes by the bench.

"Hurry! The sale at Reininger's is almost over!" said one of the girls. The running shakes up the floor and bench, making the jar tip over and roll off the bench to the hard floor, causing it to shatter, allowing the fleas to escape. Ten minutes later, Lana comes out of the pet store, wiping dog treat crumbs off her mouth.

"Ahhhh. That hit the spot." said Lana. She walks over to the bench where she put the flea jar and was shocked when she was the jar was on the floor, broken and empty. "Hey! Where did the fleas go off to?" Lana asked. Just then, she hears some screaming nearby and she looks to see several people, frantically scratching themselves and running while fleas were hopping all over the place. Lana watched with a stunned look on her face. "Uh oh."

End Flashback

"Who knows? But we should be focusing on getting to the Galar Region to help out Lincoln." said Lana.

"You're right." said Lori. "Leni, Luna, Lucy, Lana, and Clyde; get packed up and we'll all meet in Lisa's room and make sure to be quiet; we don't want Mom and Dad to know what we're up to. Clyde, text us and let us know when you get to our house and we'll get you in through Lisa and Lily's bedroom window."

"You got it. I'll start packing right now." said Clyde as he ends the call.

"While Leni, Luna, Lucy, and Lana are packing, the rest of us will keep an eye out for Mom and Dad." said Lori.

"Gotcha." said Lynn. They all left to do their tasks. Ten minutes later; Leni, Luna, Lucy, and Lana were all packed and in Lisa and Lily's room where the other sisters were waiting. Lisa just got done using an extendable robotic arm to pull in Clyde from outside.

"Okay. Is everyone ready?" asked Lisa as she punched in some coordinates on the teleportation pad's control panel.

"Ready when you are." said Luna, who was standing on the teleportation pad along with Leni, Lucy, Lana, and Clyde. Lisa nods and pushes the activation button. Instantly, all five kids were teleported.

"I hope they'll be okay." said Lori.

"Me, too." said Luan. Just then in the Galar Region, Lincoln was setting up the tent he got from Sonia and Professor Magnolia. He just got done eating the food his family sent him, and feeding his Pokemon some curry with ingredients he bought from someone in the Wild Area and some berries he got from nearby trees. He looks at the Pokemon he has with him right now.

"Okay, guys. We did a lot of battling before we left Wedgehurst, so I think we should take it easy the rest of the day. We'll do some more training in the morning when we're all fully rested." said Lincoln. The Pokemon nod in response. "Well, guys. Let's get ready for bed." Just as Lincoln started to enter his tent, a bright flash appeared, startling them. "What the..." Lincoln looks at where the flash came from and to his surprise; he saw Clyde, Leni, Luna, Lucy, and Lana. They were all lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Lincoln. Isn't that your friend and some of your sisters?" asked Scorbunny.

"Yeah. What are they doing here?" asked Lincoln.

"I don't know. What do we do with them?" asked Scorbunny. Lincoln looks at the tent that was still in the box his family sent earlier.

"I'll start setting up this tent. Can you guys keep an eye on them?" asked Lincoln.

"You got it." said Wooloo. Lincoln set up the tent his family sent. After he was done, he had his Pokemon help carry his sisters to that tent, then he dragged Clyde over to the tent he was using. He looked at where he found his sisters and Clyde and saw backpacks which he assumed belonged to them. He brought them over to the tent as well.

"Why did they come here?" asked Lincoln.

"Maybe they came to be with you?" replied Magikarp.

"That sounds right." said Lincoln.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Scorbunny.

"I'm going to have to wait until they wake up. I'm guessing that like me, they'll be out until morning." said Lincoln. He looks up at the sky and saw it was getting dark. "Well, we should all be getting some sleep ourselves." Lincoln returns all his Pokemon except Scorbunny to their pokeballs. Lincoln and Scorbunny get into their tent and went to sleep. The next morning, Lincoln and Scorbunny got out of the tent and stretched.

"Morning, Lincoln." said Scorbunny.

"Morning, Scorbunny." said Lincoln.

"So is your friend awake?" asked Scorbunny.

"Not yet. But when I got up, he was starting to stir, which means he might wake up any minute." said Lincoln.

"So what should we do until then?" asked Scorbunny.

"I think I'll get started on breakfast." said Lincoln. He lets his other Pokemon out of their pokeballs and sets up his cooking pot to make some toast curry. Inside the girls' tent, Lana's eyes were starting to open. When she fully opens them, she notices she was inside a tent with Leni, Luna, and Lucy.

"What am I doing in this tent?" asked Lana. She goes over to her other sisters and shakes them until they woke up.

"Hey, little dudette. What's the deal?" asked Luna.

"Just five more minutes." Leni groggily says.

"Leni, wake up." said Lana as she shakes Leni some more. Leni finally gives in and wakes up.

"What's wrong, Lana?" asked Leni.

"What are we doing in this tent?" asked Lana.

"I don't know." said Leni.

"Wait a minute. I remember being in Lisa's room and we were all on that teleportation pad she made before." said Luna.

"Now I remember. We teleported ourselves to that Galar Region place that Lincoln was sent to." said Lana. Not knowing what else to do, they open the tent and step out just as Clyde was stepping out of the tent he was in.

"Morning." said Clyde.

"Morning, Clyde." said the girls.

"Morning, everyone." says Lincoln from by the cooking pot.

"Morning, Lincoln." said Clyde and the girls. Their eyes suddenly widened when they realized who they were talking to.

"LINKY!" screams Leni as she runs over to Lincoln and picks him up in a hug. Lana, Luna, and Clyde also come over and they do a group hug.

"It's you! It's really you!" said Lana as she hugged Lincoln with tears in her eyes.

"We missed you, dude." says Luna.

"I missed you too, buddy." said Clyde. Lincoln was struggling to breathe as he was being too tightly by his friend and sisters.

"Guys! Can't...breathe!" said Lincoln. They all let go of him.

"Sorry, dude. It's just we were worried about after you were teleported." said Luna.

"I know. Like I said, I tried calling you after I got my Rotom Phone." said Lincoln. Just then, Scorbunny runs over to them and waves.

"Hi, everybody." says Scorbunny. The sisters and Clyde look over at Scorbunny and their eyes widen. Then without warning, Leni grabs Scorbunny and starts hugging him and nuzzling his cheek.

"O-M-GOSH! YOU'RE EVEN CUTER IN PERSON!" said Leni as she cuddled Scorbunny. Lana, Luna, and Clyde go over to Scorbunny and start petting him.

"His fur is so soft, dudes." said Luna.

"I know. Its softer than my cats' fur." said Clyde. They hug and pet him for five minutes before they finally let him go, much to Scorbunny's relief.

"Are they normally this affectionate?" asked Scorbunny.

"Sometimes." said Lincoln.

"Hey, Lincoln." said Lucy from behind them, scaring them.

"Oh hey, Lucy." said Lincoln after getting over the near fright-induced heart attack. Lucy looks over at Scorbunny and gently rubs his head.

"Hmm. His fur is soft." said Lucy. Lincoln looked over at the cooking pot and saw that the fire was ablaze.

"We can talk during breakfast." said Lincoln. He was starting to walk over when he felt something grab his wrist. He looks down and sees Lana holding it and looking up at him with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah, Lana. I missed you all, too." said Lincoln with a smile, bringing a smile to Lana's face. They all walk over to the cooking pot and started helping Lincoln make breakfast.
