The Treasure Hunt
Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Nemona, and Arven are walking down the path in front of the academy with the five Koraidons following behind them. They noticed that other students were staring at them.
"I wish people would stop staring at us like that; it's making me nervous." said Lincoln.
"I know, dude. But let's just get inside and look for Professor Sada, maybe she'll know what to do with these guys." said Stan.
"Hey. Isn't that her at the entrance with Mr. Clavell?" asked Kyle. They look towards the entrance to the academy and saw that Professor Sada was indeed there talking to Mr. Clavell.
"Well that saves us the trouble of looking for her." said Nemona.
"Yeah. Let's talk to her about these Koraidons." said Lincoln. They all started walking to where Professor Sada and Mr. Clavell were standing. As they got close, Professor Sada and Mr. Clavell looked in their direction and both their eyes widen in shock when they saw the five Koraidons. They quickly ran over to where Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Nemona, and Arven. When they reached them, Professor Sada looked over at Arven.
"Son. Would you please tell me why there are five Koraidons when I clearly gave you just one?" asked Professor Sada.
"Well, Mom. I let the Koraidon you gave me out of its pokeball to get some exercise. After that, I lost track of him. While I was looking for him near the lighthouse, I saw him coming from up the path near it following Lincoln and Nemona. About a few minutes later, I saw Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman coming from the South Province Area One with a Koraidon following each of them." explained Arven. Professor Sada looked over at Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Nemona.
"Would you all like to add something to my son's story?" asked Professor Sada. They all told Professor Sada everything that happened involving the Koraidon such as Lincoln's adventure in the Inlet Grotto and how it split into five Koraidons. Needless to say, Professor Sada was astonished. "I can't believe there was no record of Koraidon being able to divide itself."
"Perhaps we can discuss this further in my office?" suggested Mr. Clavell.
"That would be wise, . We seem to be drawing un-needed attention." said Professor Sada gesturing to nearby students staring at them.
"Would you seven please come with us?" said Mr. Clavell.
"Yes, sir." said Stan. They all followed Professor Sada and Mr. Clavell into the academy and into Mr. Clavell's office. They soon gathered around Mr. Clavell's desk. Professor Sada steps next to Mr. Clavell to discuss something with the students.
"I'm going to get straight to the point, kids. The original Koraidon was in my care. It's original pokeball was also mine until I gave it to my son, Arven, and I know you know the rest of the story." said Professor Sada. Everyone nods in response. I'm too busy with my research to properly take care of Koraidon, let alone five. So I was wondering if you all would look after them on my behalf."
"Well I don't see why not. They are kind of cool." said Stan.
"But we don't have pokeballs for the four that appeared before me, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny." said Kyle. Professor Sada reaches into her lab coat and pulls out four pokeballs that looked a lot shinier than a normal pokeball.
"Try capturing them with these pokeballs. They were specially designed to capture Koraidon more effectivetly than a regular pokeball." said Professor Sada. Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman each took a pokeball and threw them at the four Koraidons. The pokeballs hit them and sucked them in, wiggled a few times, and clicked, indicating successful captures.
"Sweet. We caught Koraidons." said Stan.
"Just so you boys know, those Koraidons can't really battle in their current states. But you can ride on them and they can take you just about anywhere. And as they start getting their strength back, they can change their forms, allowing you to travel across water, through the air, and up mountainsides." explained Professor Sada.
"That is so cool!" said Lincoln.
"Totally cool!" said Cartman. Mr. Clavell stands up from his desk.
"Now that that's taken care of, let's go to the schoolyard. It's time for my announcement." said Mr. Clavell.
"And I'm going back to my lab at Area Zero. I have an important project I'm working on." said Professor Sada.
"Very well. Keep me in touch and tell me if you discover anything more about Koraidon." said Mr. Clavell.
"Yes,sir." said Professor Sada as she exits Mr. Clavell's office. Mr. Clavell then looks at Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Nemona, and Arven.
"To the schoolyard then." said Mr. Clavell. They all followed Mr. Clavell out of his office and soon made their way to the schoolyard where the entire student body was gathered near a small stage. Soon Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Nemona, and Arven were gathered with the rest of the student body while Mr. Clavell is standing in the middle of the stage. He looks around at all the students. "Excellent. It seems everyone is here. Well then, I think it's time I explained your indepentent study assignment. As usual, the theme will be 'A Treasure Hunt'! I ask each of you to set out and travel the world in search of your own treasure. You have all learned much within the walls of our fine academy. But now it's time to open your eyes upon the wider world and deepen your understanding. Explore Paldea's abundant nature, soak in its rich culture, discover the Pokemon that live here and get to know the people, too. Of course, your Pokemon partners will be there to help you. You will journey together, learn new things together, share each other's thoughts and feelings, and find something you might always treasure. Let the Treasure Hunt begin! Onward!" All the students roared with applause. Ten minutes later; Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Nemona, and Arven went to an ice cream cart to get some ice cream for a snack while they talk about what they're going to do for their Treasure Hunt assignments.
"This assignment sounds so awesome!" said Lincoln.
"I know! Travelling the Paldea Region, seeing all sorts of places and even more new species of Pokemon than what we found in the South Province. It's going to be so cool!" said Stan.
"What are you guys going to do?" Kyle asked Arven and Nemona.
"I'm going to battle all the trainers I can find in Paldea and maybe compete in the Paldea League again. I had so much fun with that last year." said Nemona.
"Me, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny wanted to compete in the Paldea League when we first learned about Pokemon and decided to enroll at Naranja Academy. Maybe we should all go for it too." said Stan.
"I wouldn't mind going for it myself." said Lincoln.
"That would be so awesome!" said Nemona. "If we all compete in the Paldea League and we end up facing each other, I won't go easy on any of you!"
"I want you to give it your all if you face us!" said Stan.
"Yeah!" said Cartman. Lincoln looks towards Arven.
"So what are you going to do, Arven?" asked Lincoln.
"I'm going in search of the Herba Mystica." said Arven.
"Herba Mystica? What's that?" asked Kenny.
"They're rare and powerful herbs that heal up any Pokemon that eats them. There's five different types of Herba Mystica according to my research. Just taking a lick of them after they've been powdered will get your blood flowing, provide nutrients, prevent aging, even boost the immune system. They're extremely rare and only found here in Paldea." explained Arven.
"Wow. Those Herba Mystica sound amazing if they can really do all that." said Stan.
"I know. The problem is that they're all guarded by Titan Pokemon." said Arven.
"Titan Pokemon?" replied Cartman.
"They're Pokemon that are normally found in Area Zero. They're very large and very dangerous, meaning that getting even a few sprigs of Herba Mystica is not going to be easy." said Arven.
"What are you going to do?" asked Kyle.
"Maybe while you're out doing your Treasure Hunts, you can help me out with getting the Herba Mystica." said Arven.
"If these Titan Pokemon are really as dangerous as you make it sound they are, maybe we should train our Pokemon before we even consider trying taking them on." suggested Lincoln.
"Good call, dude." said Kyle. All of a sudden, Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny's Rotom Phones flew out of their pockets.
"Hello? Can you hear me?" a voice says from their Rotom Phones.
"Who is this? How did you get all our numbers?" asked Stan.
"I hacked all your Rotom Phones." the voice said, shocking everyone.
"What do you mean you hacked our Rotom Phones?!" yelled Cartman.
"I mean I took control of all of them." said the voice.
"Who are you and what do you want? I highly doubt you would go to all this trouble of contacting us if there wasn't something you wanted." said Lincoln.
"Very astute of you, Lincoln." the voice said, shocking Lincoln.
"How did you know my name?" asked Lincoln.
"I know all about you and your friends; Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Nemona, and Arven." said the voice, surprising them all. "Okay, enough games. I'm going to ask again. Who are you and what do you want?" asked LIncoln.
"Very well. My name is Cassiopeia and I can use all you and your friends help with Operation Starfall." the voice now known as Cassiopeia said.
"Operation Starfall?" replied Stan.
"I'm certain you're all aware of Team Star." said Cassiopeia.
"That gang of trouble-making buttholes? What about them?" asked Cartman.
"I want your help taking them down." said Cassiopeia.
"Why do you want our help?" asked Kenny.
"I'm aware of how you and Lincoln easily defeated a couple of Team Star members earlier today." said Cassiopeia.
"You know about that?" asked Kenny.
"Yes. I know you all have a lot of potential as trainers, so I want your help taking down Team Star." said Cassiopeia.
"How do you plan on doing that?" asked Stan.
"Team Star has five squads and they have bases all over Paldea with each base specializing in one type of Pokemon. I need you all to go to each base and defeat each squad's boss there." said Cassiopeia.
"What types of Pokemon does each base use?" asked Kyle.
"Well just learn the name of each squad's name and you'll figure it out." said Cassiopeia. "There will be grunts who will get in your way, but I'm certain you all can handle them. You just focus on taking down each squad leader when you get to them. Once you take down all the bases, Team Star should crumble and fall apart, thus taking them down."
"Can we think about it?" asked Lincoln.
"I don't see why not." said Cassiopeia. "But in case any of you want to help take down Team Star, I'll mark the locations of all their bases on your Rotom Phones' maps. We'll talk as soon as you reach a base. Hope to see you all there." said Cassiopeia. Their Rotom Phones suddenly went dark and went back into their pockets, leaving them in stunned silence. They pull out their Rotom Phones and look at the map app on them to see that Team Star base locations have indeed been marked on their maps.
"Who does this Cassiopeia think she is asking us to take down Team Star?" asked Nemona.
"What do we do guys?" asked Stan.
"We should think about what we're getting ourselves into before we do anything. For now, I'm going to build up my team and train them before I decide to do anything." said Lincoln.
"Good call, dude." said Stan.
"Here. If you want to compete in the Paldea League, you'll need the badges from each of the gyms in the region. I'll mark the gym locations on your maps." said Nemona as she pulls out her Rotom Phone and sends the gym locations to Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny's phones.
"I'll send you the locations of the Titan Pokemon as well." said Arven as he sends them the Titan Pokemon's locations from his Rotom Phones to theirs.
"Well I'm off to compete in the Paldea League. Hope to see you all there." said Nemona. She then runs towards Mesagoza's west gate.
"And I hope you guys will help me get the Herba Mystica as he runs towards the east gate, leaving Lincoln, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman alone. Lincoln turns towards Stan and the others.
"So what are you going to do?" asked Lincoln.
"We're going home to prepare for the Treasure Hunt." replied Stan.
"I'm going to my dorm room to prepare also." said Lincoln. "Maybe you guys should ride your Koraidons home to get some practice doing so."
"Good idea, dude." said Kyle. The boys let their Koraidons out of their pokeballs, climb onto them, and ride off. As the boys ride towards their homes, they were enjoying the feeling of the breeze hitting their faces as they sped down the path.
"This is so awesome, dudes!" said Kyle.
"Yeah!" said Cartman.
"This sure beats walking!" said Stan.
"You said it." said Kenny.
"Let's go home and get our savings so we can get stuff for our journey." said Stan. Ever since the boys enrolled at the academy, they've been putting aside money from their allowances to put towards their future Pokemon journeys. Now the time has finally come to put it to use. As they got close to their homes, Stan notices a black van pulling out of his driveway.
"Who's that, dude?" Kyle asked Stan.
"I don't know. Maybe Mom had company over." said Stan. Just then, Sharon steps onto the porch and, after getting over the surprise of her son and his friends riding on the backs of the Koraidons, beckons them all into the house.
"Come in, boys. We need to talk." said Sharon.
"Is there something wrong, Mom?" asked Stan. Sharon motions the boys to enter the Marsh residence. The boys follow Sharon inside. Once they were inside, they were shocked to see a familiar, blonde haired boy they know from South Park. Leopold Stotch, also known as...
"Butters?!" the boys exclaimed in unison.
"H-Hey, fellas." said Butters in an upset tone of voice.
