125. Sora's Fever

Episode 125: Sora's Fever

Several days came and went since their run-in with Madame Muchmoney and her Snubbull evolving into a Granbull and giving Team Rocket the boot once again and the road to Ecruteak City is much closer than expected. But today is has an unexpected turn.

The sun rises as Kairi got up and decides to give her boyfriend her usual wakeup call just to tease him despite him being on to her.

"Just hope that lazy bum isn't too asleep for me this time," Kairi said to herself. She looked over to Sora laying in his sleeping bag and she quietly sneaks up to him and she peaks down to him with a playful look on her face. "Rise and shine, you lazy bum!" She giggled, but she realized something was off. "Sora?" She saw that he wasn't doing so good. His face was red and he was sweating a lot. "Sora!" This woke up Pikachu as well.

"Morning, Kairi," Sora greeted weakly. "You sleep okay?" Sora starts to get up, but he was too fatigue to do so. He starts to collapse and she catches him.

"Sora! You need to lay back down! You don't look so good!" Kairi told her boyfriend.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine," Sora tried to argue back only for Kairi to lay him back down.

"No arguments, Sora! You're sick!" Kairi said.

Not too long, the Alolan nine all woke up with some stretches and yawns. Illima quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Kairi, is something wrong?" Illima asked with concern. Kairi turned to him.

"Illima, good! Sora's sick!" Kairi said.

"Sick?" Illima asked as he took a look at him and saw his red face and seeing him sweat. "Oh my."

Lillie and the rest all gathered around and saw how red he looked.

"What's the matter with Sora?" Mallow asked with worry.

"He looks redder than a tomato," Hapu said.

"It looks like he has a fever," Lana said.

"How could this have happened? He was just fine yesterday," Kiawe pointed out.

"Fever tends to come and go within days or possibly a couple of weeks," Illima said.

"Well, until Sora gets better we'll have to do what we can to make him better," Lillie said.

"Lillie's right. We can do some of the heavy lifting to help out," Hapu said.

"We should give him some medicine to help get the fever go down," Kairi said.

"I think we might haves some here," Kiawe said as he went for the first-aid kit and saw the medicine cabinet is empy. "What the?! How could this happen?! Our medicine is gone and we're just down to band-aids and some of the other stuff, but nothing in it about fevers."

"How could we not have any of our meds?" Acerola asked.

"How is right. How could we have lost some it after we bought some in case of an emergency?" Hapu asked.

Sophocles shifted his eyes when he remembered when he may have accidentally lost it when he tripped and fell over a tree root and the first-aid kit flew out of the backpack, unaware of the medicines being lost.

"If only I knew about the medicines sooner, I would have saved them," Sophocles said in his thoughts. "Kairi is going to be so mad at me." Sophocles gulped as he thought of the possibilities.

The Kairi in his imagination chased after him with a huge mallet swinging it around.

"How could you have made such a foolish mistake, Sophocles?! It's all your fault Sora is sick with a fever! I will never ever forgive you for it! And you're never have any of my cooking again!" Kairi yelled at with malice in her voice.

Sophocles screamed in horror as he found Kairi scary when she's angry. Sophocles shivered in fear to the thought.

"I don't want that to happen!" Sophocles said in his thoughts. He shakes in fear.

"I don't think how we lost it is important because we have to think about a way to make his fever go down," Kairi said.

"Agreed. There should be some villages not too far from here," Illima said.

"And there should be some shops in there as well. One of them might be a pharmacy," Mallow said hopefully.

"It'll be worth to look," Lillie said.

"Sophocles, Kiawe, and I will have a look in that direction," Illima stated pointing to the left.

"Great! Mallow, Lana, Mina, Acerola, Hapu and I will head that way," Lillie said pointing to her right.

"And I'll stay here with Sora to do what I can to bring the fever down," Kairi said. "Also, I can have mine and Sora's Pokémon help out.

"Pikachu," Pikachu nodded.

"Toge, Toge, Togepi," Togepi chirped.

"Take Pikachu with you," Sora weakly to pull his head up only to have it brought back down.

"Don't move or speak, Sora. You need to rest," Kairi said.

"But having Pikachu with us isn't a bad idea," Kiawe said.

"Kiawe's right. Pikachu might be useful to listen for danger," Illima said. Sophocles remained quiet in the whole conversation.

"And we'll meet back here later," Lana said.

With that said, the Alolan nine went their own ways to get medicine for Sora's fever. Pikachu went with the boys and he knew Sora was right to do so, because Pikachu had more speed and sense of hearing than any of the other Pokémon, almost as good as a Marill's.

Togepi stayed beside Kairi to be her little helper. Kairi had let out Raichu, Miltank, Shuckle, Ledian, and Raticate. Kairi also called out Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Noctowl, and Aipom to help out.

"Alright everyone. I'm going to need all of you to help out. Pikachu went with Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles to find some medicine for Sora. Lillie, Mallow, Lana, Acerola, Mina, and Hapu went off for the same reason. You think you can lend me a hand until they get back?" All of the Pokémon nodded as they understood what was at stake. "Great! Ledian and Noctowl can pick some fruit off of a few trees." The flying Pokémon nodded. She turned to Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Raticate, and Shuckle. "Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Aipom, Raticate, Shuckle; you can pick some berries, and Shuckle, don't eat any because we'll need them. Shuckle blushed. She turned to Raichu and Miltank. "Raichu, Miltank, You'll have to gather some fire wood and bring back some water." Raichu and Miltank nodded as they understood.

All of the Pokémon went on with their assigned tasks. Togepi stayed along with Kairi and he handed her some washcloths to keep his head moist.

"Toge," Togepi chirped as he looked at Sora not liking the sight one bit. She looked over to her first Pokémon and rubbed the crown with her finger.

"Don't worry, Togepi. Sora is going to be okay. I promise, baby," Kairi said. That made Togepi feel a little better, but he still wasn't sure. "Sora would want you to stay srong for him. No fever is gonna beat him." Togepi smiled knowing Sora hasn't lost a battle for as long as he can remember.

Not too far from camp, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Raticate, Shuckle, and Aipom looked around and saw a wide-spread of berries and they're ripe for the picking.

"So what do you think, guys? Do any of these look good enough?" - Raticate subtitle.

"These look perfect" - Chikorita subtitle.

"They all look so yummy for the tummy!" - Totodile subtitle. Totodile picked an Oran Berry and was about to eat it when Chikorita smacked the berry from Totodile's hand before he could eat it.

"Kairi sent us to pick some berries! Not to eat every one of them up!" - Chikorita subtitle.

"Chikorita's right. She might get mad at us if we came back empty handed." - Cyndaquil subtitle.

"And she tells me not to eat any of them." - Shuckle subtitle. Shuckle laughs.

"But the question is: how are we gonna carry of them?" - Totodile subtitle.

"He is right to ask that. Wonder if there's a big leaf or something. Something we can use." - Chikorita subtitle.

All of the Pokémon thought for a moment before Totodile spotted something what looks like an old wagon.

"Guys! Look!" - Totodile subtitle. Totodile pointed to the wagon. The Pokémon all looked at the wagon and they got confused.

"What is it exactly?" - Aipom subtitle.

"The answer to our problem. It's a wagon. We can use it to carry as many berries it can hold." - Totodile subtitle.

"That's not a bad idea. But I don't think we can use it." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Why not?" - Totodile subtitle.

"Just look at it. It looks old and dirty. I'm not even sure those wheels will even turn when we push it." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Only one way to find out. But I'll need some help to push it." - Raticate subtitle.

"I think I can help out." - Aipom subtitle.

Raticate and Aipom went over to the wagon as Raticate pushes while Aipom pulls. The wagon budges and the wheels on it rolls perfectly.

"Silly me. It does work." Chikorita subtitle.

"You were right though. Looks kinda dirty though." - Aipom subtitle.

"She's right. It could use some cleaning." - Cyndaquil subtitle.

"I was thinking the same thing." She looked over to Totodile. "Why don't you do the cleaning? Finders cleaners." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Don't you mean finders keepers?" - Totodile subtitle.

"Not in this case." - Chikorita subtitle.

"What is 'finders cleaners' and what does it mean?" - Aipom subtitle.

"Since Totodile found it, Totodile is gonna clean it." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Aren't you worried about Totodile going overboard with Water Gun?" - Cyndaquil subtitle.

"Cyndaquil's right. We all know how he is." Raticate subtitle.

"I did think of that, actually. Totodile, when you use Water Gun, try not to get carried away and blast it into splinters because we need it." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Don't worry. When I'm done with it, it's going to look like something you never seen before!" - Totodile subtitle.

"And that's why I'm worried." - Chikorita subtitle. Raticate leaned over to Cyndaquil.

"Like she's the only one." - Raticate subtitle.

"I know I'm worried too." - Shuckle subtitle.

"I'll help you out just to make sure it's done right. Aipom, Cyndaquil, Shuckle, Raticate, you start picking." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Where would we put them?" - Shuckle subtitle.

"Just right in the middle where we can see it." - Chikorita subtitle.

Raticate, Cyndaquil, Shuckle, and Aipom started picking berries from left to right. They made sure if some of them were good or not. So far, there were a lot of good ones.

Unknown to Sora and Kairi's Pokémon, two Sneasel and three Beedrill were spying on them.

"Do you see that? Those chumps are picking those berries and without our permish too." - Sneasel 1 subtitle.

"I don't think they even need it. We can just let them pick as many as they can and tax them just like the others." - Sneasel 2 subtitle. The first Sneasel grinned liking his idea.

"I see. The boss lady is going to be happy to see the food we swiped from them." - Sneasel 1 subtitle.

"You and I will go tell her the good news." He turns to the three Beedrill. "You three buzzers keep an eye on them." - Sneasel 2 subtitle. The three Beedrill nodded as the two Sneasel took off.

Over to the Alolan boys they walked down the path to buy some medicine at a nearby town hoping they would have a pharmacy.

As they walked down, Sophocles felt guilty about losing the medicine and still fearing Kairi might blame him for his illness. Kiawe looked over to his friend's way.

"You've been quiet, Sophocles. What's eating you?" Kiawe asked. Sophocles let off some small sweat.

"Nothing," Sophocles fibbed.

"You sure? You're not getting Sora's fever are you?" Kiawe asked.

The mention of Sora's fever made him shout out, "LOOK! WHEN I SAY THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, THEN NOTHING'S WRONG! SO GET OFF MY CASE WILL YA?!" Kiawe was taken back by his sudden outburst.

"Sorry. You didn't have to yell," Kiawe said. Sophocles sighed.

"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that," Sophocles said apologetic.

"You're only worried about Sora's fever. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't," Illima said.

"Yeah. It's a good thing Kairi is with him to care for him. He's pratically helpless if we left him there alone," Kiawe said. Sophocles started to feel even more guilty.

Just as they kept walking, Pikachu sniffs something in the air.

"Pika," Pikachu beamed.

"What is it, Pikachu? What do you smell?" Illima asked. Sophocles takes a whiff as he sniffled.

"I smell it too," Sophocles said.

The three boys rushed over to the source of the smell and found it to be an apple orchard.

"Chu," Pikachu drooled.

"Look at all those apples!" Sophocles said.

"It looks so good," Kiawe said.

"I agree. Simply amazing," Illima said.

"Pikachu," Pikachu said.

"We should check it out," Sophocles stated using it as a distraction for his troubles.

"Hold on! We can't go around picking apples! That's just stealing!" Kiawe told him.

"Also, we have some medicine to acquire," Illima reminded Sophocles.

"It's not against the law to look at the apples though," Sophocles countered.

"Technically, he is right," Illima said.

The three boys looked around the apple orchard and they were amazed by the sight.

Up in the sky elsewhere, Noctowl and Ledian flew through the sky and picked some picked some oranges while Noctowl made sure which ones were fresh and which were no good with his sight. It turns out Noctowl's keen eyes help him even when it's in the brightest of days. The two flying Pokémon searched the skies and flew over an apple orchard. Noctowl spotted a young woman wearing red overalls and her purple hair in pigtails. Noctowl also spotted several bells in the trees.

"Those apples look pretty sweet. How about we help ourselves?" - Ledian subtitle.

"Not a good idea. There's someone down there. Wouldn't want to steal them by accident. Besides, there are noise makers in the trees." - Noctowl subtitle. Ledian sees the noise makers.

"Right. Kairi might get mad at us for stealing." - Ledian subtitle.

The two flyers flew off searching for something else.

Meanwhile, Raichu and Miltank had gathered some fire wood for the fire. They broght back the wood they needed to the camp. They set off to fetch some water just so Kairi could moisten Sora's head. Miltank was carrying the bucket.

They searched around for a pond or a lake when they saw a few Magikarp splashing in a few puddles and that didn't seem to be unusual.

"That looks like fun! I wanna play with them" - Miltank subtitle. Raichu stops the milk cow Pokémon.

"No time to play. Kairi is counting on us to bring back some water." - Raichu subtitle.

"They seem to be having fun." - Miltank subtitle.

"Because Magikarp do that when they're not swimming around. It's not a game they're playing." - Raichu subtitle.

The Magikarp splashed around some more trying to keep themselves moist.

"Nothing we're trying is working!" - Magikarp 1 subtitle.

"Splashing around in puddles is something, but it's just not the same as actually swimming." - Magikarp 2 subtitle.

"If only someone would come along and drive out that water hoarder just so we can swim in the lake again!" - Magikarp 3 subtitle.

Raichu and Miltank casually walked by the Magikarp, but the milk cow Pokémon sulked because she couldn't play around in the puddles like she wanted to. As they went forward, a Furret jumps in front of them.

"You two are going the wrong way!" -Furret subtitle.

"Nope. We know where we're going." - Raichu subtitle.

"You must not be from around here." - Furret subtitle.

"How do you know, mister?" - Miltank subtitle.

"I only guessed. Putting that aside, you shouldn't be going to that lake ahead." - Furret subtitle.

"Why not?" - Raichu subtitle.

"Becasue a Feraligatr and a gang of Qwilfish are swimming there and they drove off anybody who comes there. People or Pokémon." - Furret subtitle.

"Why would they do that?" - Miltank subtitle.

"Because the Feraligatr in the lake saids he's the king and the whole lake belongs to him and his loyal 'subjects.' The subjects who just happens to attack anyone who so much touch the water." - Furret subtitle.

"They won't even let you even take a drink?" - Raichu subtitle. Furret nods.

"Well, that's not very nice." - Miltank subtitle.

"And that Feraligatr is going to have to share his water rather he likes it or not!" - Raichu subtitle.

"Okay. It's your funeral." - Furret subtitle. Furret climbs back up the tree wishing them both good luck. Raichu and Miltank continued on with their task.

Meanwhile, the two Sneasel rushed through the forest andone of them bumped into a Beedrill.

"Hey! Watch it!" - Beedrill subtitle.

"Get out of our way! We have to tell the boss lady!" - Sneasel 2 subtitle.

The two Sneasel made it pass a gang of wild Beedrill. Leading them is a Teddiursa that has long curly hair and happily ate some honey sitting in a throne formed by some Ekans. The Teddiursa happily licks her palms.

"Sweet, sweet honey." - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Excuse us, boss." - Sneasel 1 subtitle. The Teddiursa turns to the two Sneasel.

"There's something we want to report to you." - Sneasel 2 subtitle. The Teddiursa stood up from her "throne" and smacks both Sneasel on the heads.

"What's the number one rule for our little gathering of friends?" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Never come by without first addressing you as Princess Teddiursa." - The two Sneasel subtitle.

"That's better. Now you just said you have something to tell me? Otherwise you wouldn't be here wasting my time just like the last Pokémon who did?" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Actually there is. Some Pokémon were seen picking some of our berries and without your say so, Princess." - Sneasel 2 subtitle.

"Without MY permission?! Golly, that's just stealing. And it's not very nice to steal from a princess. Especially when they do it without asking me! Every Pokémon should only be picking berries for me, me ME! All the food is mine, mine, mine!" - Teddiursa subtitle.

The two Sneasel were shaking in fear knowing how irritable she gets when she doesn't get her way. They remembered when a Butterfree refused to pick berries for her and she didn't like it taking it to be "rude" and her gang did something about it.

"We know, we know, princess." - Sneasel 2 subtitle.

"A Chikorita, a Totodile, a Cyndaquil, a Raticate, an Aipom, and a Shuckle were seen doing so. And some of our Beedrill are watching them now." - Sneasel 1 subtitle.

"It was very sweet of you to tell me. So, I'll have you to keep watching them and wait until they have enough and then take it away!" - Teddiursa subtitle. The two Sneasel bowed their heads and went back to where the human trained Pokémon are occupied.

Over to the girls, they took a break and drank some water.

"Ah! That's what I needed," Hapu said.

"Me too," Mallow sighed.

"Is everyone ready to get going again?" Lillie asked.

"Yeah," Mina said.

"I know I am," Lana said.

"We do need to get some medicine for Sora's fever," Acerola pointed out.

"I still can't believe that we lost the medicine we had and just after we bought it just recently!" Hapu groaned.

"That's something we can't help," Lillie said.

"Lillie's right. Buying some more for Sora to fight his fever is more important," Mallow said.

Just before the girls could take off, a Wobbufett pops out of the bushes.

"Wobbufett," the Wobbufett said.

"Wobbufett?" The girls asked.

"Team Rocket must be nearby," Lana said.

"Come out here you cowards! Come here and recieve your just desserts!" Hapu snarled.

"Wait a minute! I think it might be a wild Wobbufett," Lillie pointed out.

"Wobbufett," the Wobbufett said.

Before long, a whole bunch of Wobbufett had shown up from the bushes along with a few Wynaut. Some of the Wobbufett had red lips looking like lipstick.

"Wynaut and Wobbufett!" Acerola gasped.

"They're everywhere!" Lillie gasped.

Back to Sora and Kairi, she never left Sora's side not even bothering eating something because of her concerns for Sora.

"Kairi," Sora spoke weakly.

"Shh. Don't speak. Rest," Kairi said.

"I only wanted to say thank you for being so nice to me," Sora said.

"I have to. It's because I love you," Kairi said. "You'd do the same for me."

"I'm glad. I don't want you to go anywhere," Sora said, falling asleep. Kairi smiled seeing his sleeping face even when in a feverish state.

"Sleep well, Sora," Kairi said in her thoughts. "Sleep well."

As Sora slept, Kairi placed her hand on his head feeling him still warming up.

Back to the Alolan boys and Pikachu, they looked around at the orchard. Pikachu froze when he heard some chomping sounds. The yellow mouse Pokémon looked up and saw apples disappearing from left to right. A few apple cores were tossed out and lands in front of Pikachu.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked. Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles approached Pikachu and saw the apple cores.

"Pikachu! You ate some apples even after we were just looking around!" Sophocles exclaimed.

"Sora would be disappointed in you if he saw this!" Kiawe said.

"Pika, Pika, Pika! Pikachu, Pika!" Pikachu said pointing up to the trees.

"Are you saying there's something else here?" Illima asked.

"Pika!" Pikachu nodded as Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles looked around. Illima took his eyes off the trees just in time for an apple to fall off one of the trees and lands in Pikachu's paws. "Pikachu!" Pikachu yelped.

Kiawe and Sophocles turned around away from the trees and they wenched when they saw the same apple.

"Crap! Pikachu did take the apples!" Kiawe said.

"We don't know that," Sophocles said.

"I agree with Sophocles," Illima said. "That apple fell from one of these trees I saw it myself." A net comes out of nowhere and lands on Pikachu. "Pikachu!" The young woman from before came up to the yellow mouse Pokémon with a stern look on her face.

"I've got you now, you little criminal!" The young woman said. "So, you're the sneaky little apple poacher I've been looking for."

"Wait a minute! You're making a mistake! It wasn't Pikachu!" Kiawe said.

"He's telling the truth. That apple simply fell into this Pikachu's paws. I know because I saw it," Illima said.

"Oh, sure you did," the young woman scoffed. "I caught this Pikachu red-handed. And how do you plan to prove it?" Illima knew she did have a point and he saw something on the apple. He saw small bite marks on the apple.

"I know very well how to prove it," Illima said taking the net off and taking the apple from his paws. "Pikachu, open your mouth as wide as you can." Pikachu opens his mouth to the widest he can go. "Have look at these bite marks. These are too small to be Pikachu." She looked at the apple and realized the mistake she made.

"You're right. These are too small to be Pikachu's," the young woman said bowing her head in apology. "I am so very sorry to blame your Pikachu. Please forgive me."

"You should never have jump to a conclusion, but judging by the situation, it was not unreasonable," Illima said. "Also, Pikachu is not ours."

"When you work as hard as me, you tend to get carried away. My name is Charmaine," she introduced.

"I am Illima," he introduced himself. "And these are my friends Kiawe and Sophocles. And this Pikachu belongs to a friend of ours."

A few minutes later, Charmaine lead the boys inside and they explained they went off to a nearby town to buy Sora some medicine for his fever and she understood the situation. Illima even took out some photos of Sora and Kairi to prove it. Charmaine fed Pikachu and the Alolan boy's Pokémon. She was pretty surprised to see an Alolan Marowak for the first time.

"That explains why you're making all this trouble. And Sora must be a lucky guy to have a supportive girlfriend as her to tend to him," Charmaine said.

"He is," Sophocles said.

"But again, I am so sorry. I have no excuse," Charmaine apologized.

"It's okay. You were only protecting your orchard," Kiawe said.

"Just glad that you're so understanding," Charmaine said.

"Just how did you know that your apples were disappearing?" Sophocles asked.

"How about I show you and you can see for yourselves," Charmaine suggested. The Alolan boys accepted the invitation.

Meanwhile back with the girls, the Wynaut Wobbufett from earlier led the girls to a village made up of Wobbufett and Wynaut.

"Look at that," Mallow said.

"There's a whole lot of Wynaut and Wobbufett everywhere you look," Lana said.

"It looks like you can't take one step without seeing a Wobbufett or a Wynaut," Acerola said.

"Yeah," Mina said.

"This the first time I seen two kinds of Pokémon in one place," Mallow said.

"Wobbufett!" The Wobbufett bunch said. An obese woman wearing a Wobbufett T-shirt and with her own Wobbufett comes walking up to the girls. This Wobbufett has red lips like some of the other ones.

"Hello there, young ladies. Welcome to Wobbufett Village," the woman greeted.

"Wobbufett Village?" The girls asked.

"Yes. This is a village in which everyone has a Wobbufett or a Wynaut of their own," the woman explained. "Anyway, my name is Lulu and this is my Wobbufett."

"Wobbufett," the chubby Wobbufett said.

"My name is Lillie," she introduced herself.

"My name is Mallow."

"I'm Lana."

"My name's Acerola."

"Mina."

"And I'm Hapu."

"Nice to meet you, ladies. Are you here to participate in the Wobbufett Festival?" Lulu asked.

"Wobbufett Festival?" The girls asked.

"Yes. It is a festival that celebrates the bonds of Wobbufett and Wynaut," Lulu said.

"Not exactly. We came by looking for a store that has some flu medicine for our sick friend," Hapu said.

"Your friend is sick? How dreadful," Lulu said.

"Just hope it won't ruin your mood in the festivities," Mallow said.

"Oh no. Just wasn't expecting this. It's just a shame that your friend is sick on today of all days. But your friend is lucky to have such good friends," Lulu said with a smile.

"Wobbufett," the chubby Wobbufett said.

"Thank you for understanding, Lulu," Lana said.

"But I guess we could stick around for a bit. Kairi wouldn't mind us being a tad late," Acerola said.

"But what if his fever gets worse?" Hapu asked.

"Only if tries anything," Acerola reasoned.

"Acerola is right though. Even if he does try anything, Kairi will just place him back down. Also, the boys probably has it by now anyway," Mallow said.

"All the same, we should get some medicine just so we don't forget," Lillie said. The rest of the girls agreed and headed off to the local pharmacy to pick up some medicine for Sora.

Over to Pikachu and the Alolan boys, Charmaine shown them around the orchard.

"Up there in the trees are several bells. Those happen to be my alarm system," Charmaine said.

"No wonder you came so fast. Pretty good way to get around," Kiawe said.

"I just hate the thought of somebody of stealing my apples after all the hard work of tending to them," Charmaine said.

"Kinda reminds of me of Ruby and the grapefruit incident," Sophocles pointed out.

"Grapefruit incident?" Charmaine asked blinking twice.

"He's referring to the time we passed by a grapefruit plantation being invaded by a Snorlax," Illima said.

"Is that right?" Charmaine said.

"Whatever is here is way smaller than a Snorlax," Sophocles said.

"Maybe we should stick around and catch the apple poachers red-handed. Sora would do the same," Kiawe said.

"Kiawe is right. We can't let some other Pokémon frame Pikachu and get away with it," Illima said.

"Pikachu," Pikachu nodded.

Over to Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Aipom, Raticate, and Shuckle, they were busy picking berries still unaware of the Pokémon being spied on by the three Beedrill. Chikorita helped Totodile with the cleaning while keeping the crocodilian Pokémon from getting too rambunctious. In the meantime, they placed the picked berries on a huge leaf. The two Sneasel came back.

"How are things coming?" - Sneasel 2 subtitle.

"They picked a lot of berries while you were gone." - Beedrill 1 subtitle.

"What did the princess say?" - Beedrill 2 subtitle.

"She wants us to take the picked berries when they picked enough. And they look like it's enough." - Sneasel 1 subtitle.

The two Sneasel snuck in with out any one of them knowing and the two Sneasel dragged the leaf with them. One of the Sneasel gestured to Beedrill to cover the drag marks left behind right up to the bush. The Sneasel placed the berries in a big basket and the Beedrill carried it not wanting to leave anymore drag marks.

The wagon looked clean enough and Chikorita managed to keep Totodile from letting out too much pressure.

"Well, it looks great." - Chikorita subtitle.

"I just wish you would let me use my full-power Water Gun." - Totodile subtitle.

"We don't know how old it is, so we don't want to risk any of them falling out of a hole that you made if I hadn't done my part." - Chikorita subtitle.

"Yeah maybe." - Totodile subtitle.

Cyndaquil, Raticate, Shuckle, and Aipom went to put the ones they picked and they all shrieked at the sight of the berries gone. Chikorita and Totodile stepped outside and saw what happened.

"What happened?! And where are the berries?!" - Chikorita Subtitle.

"None of us know!" - Aipom subtitle.

"We were so busy, we didn't see where they went!" - Raticate subtitle.

Just when the Pokémon were about to think it was Team Rocket, a wild Persian jumped down from a nearby tree.

"Who the heck are you?" - Chikorita subtitle.

"Just a Persian just passing by. Also, a Persian who knows who took your hard earned food."- Persian subtitle.

"You were watching us the whole time weren't you?" - Raticate subtitle.

"And I can bet she's the one who stole the berries we picked!" - Aipom subtitle. Persian looked at the primate Pokémon raising a brow.

"And how would I be able to carry all that food all by myself? And would I be able to do it without any of you noticing?" - Persian subtitle.

"She does have a point." - Cyndaquil subtitle.

"Well, if it wasn't you, then would you tell us who did? We really need to know!" - Chikorita subtitle.

"I should be angry for that accusation you gave me, but I guess I can help you out. I saw who took the berries you picked. Two Sneasel and three Beedrill. They all work for a spoiled brat Teddiursa." - Persian subtitle. None of the Pokémon liked what was being said.

"Why would a Teddiursa tell them to such a thing?" - Shuckle subtitle.

"A spoiled brat, like I said. She's been having the Pokémon who live here give her their food. And a lot of them have starving." - Persian subtitle.

"That isn't right!" - Totodile subtitle.

"We have to do something!" - Raticate subtitle.

"I'm with him. If Pikachu was here, he would never let this go unanswered." - Totodile subtitle.

"Totodile's right. And I know for a fact Sora will never take it laying down. So, he have to get it back! Not just for us, but for every Pokémon here!" - Chikorita subtitle. Sora and Kairi's Pokémon nodded in agreement. Raticate and Shuckle knew Kairi would feel the same way. Persian just laughed at the group.

"You are going to stand up to that so-called princess? There was a lot of Pokémon who tried that, but she'll let her Beedrill thugs give you such a sting if her two Sneasel flunkies don't tear you into ribbons." - Persian subtitle.

"I don't see you being scared of her!" - Chikorita subtitle.

"Because I came from another part of the forest. And even if I lived here, I would just fight back. And I know I would last longer than any of you." - Persian subtitle.

"For your information, madame, we can last pretty good in a battle since we have pretty good trainers." - Chikorita subtitle.

"She's right! Bring on an army of Beedrill and we can shown them who's boss!" - Raticate subtitle. Persian just looked at them like they were pretty crazy. Also, she can tell how determined they are.

"Either you're brave or crazy. But I like your enthusiasm. So, I will help you out. Just go up to that bush. The best way to find your food is to follow your nose, because it should know. And the rest is up to you." - Persian subtitle.

With that said, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Aipom, Raticate, and Shuckle went to the bush and saw the drag mark leaving the area. They followed it to see where it goes.

Over to Raichu and Miltank, they managed to reach the lake.

"This must be the place." - Raichu subtitle.

"Didn't that Pokémon from earlier say something about a Feraligatr and a bunch of Qwilfish? And what are Qwilfish, anyway?" - Miltank subtitle.

"I never seen any before, but I've heard of them. They are poisonous fish Pokémon. They have toxic spikes all over their bodies. And they normally live in the ocean. Even if I ever been to a place with Qwilfish around, they wouldn't be a problem with me. And also, that Furret did say something about a Feraligatr too."- Raichu subtitle.

Just when they were about to come near the water, several spikes came shooting out of the water. They dodged the spikes without even getting hit. The attack ceased and out of the water came a bunch of dark teal pufferfish-like Pokémon. They had a yellow underside and pink puffy lips. They also had paddle-like tails. And they also had a serious look on their faces.

"What are they?" - Miltank subtitle.

"Those must be Qwilfish. And they fired those spikes at us." - Raichu subtitle.

"Well, that wasn't very nice. They should never throw spikes at us because someone would get hurt." - Miltank subtitle.

"I think that's the idea." - Raichu subtitle.

The Qwilfish moved aside on both sides as a large Feraligatr comes walking out of the water. The Feraligatr wore a silver crown with purple rhinestones engraved on it. He glares at Kairi's two Pokémon.

"You are not allowed to be here. This is my lake, and I say who can be in my lake and who can't." - Feraligatr subtitle.

Raichu and Miltank knew this had to be the Feraligatr they were warned about.

Back to Sora and Kairi, Noctowl and Ledian came back with some apples and oranges. Kairi smiled feeling proud of her Ledian and Sora's Ledian.

"You both did great," Kairi said. "I knew I was right to send you two." She pets them both on the head. Ledian and Noctowl looked over to Sora. "Don't worry. He's just resting." Noctowl smiled knowing his trainer is in good hands.

Meanwhile back at Wobbufett Village, the girls had made it to the pharmacy after asking the villagers around. The shopekeeper and his Wobbufett are standing at the counter.

"Hello there, young ladies. How may we be of assistance today?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Wobbufett," the shopkeeper's Wobbufett said.

"We're here to pick up some medicine for a fever," Mallow said.

"Well, you are just in luck because we have plenty of those," the shopkeeper said kindly. He turned to his Wobbufett. "Say Wobbufett, could you go get the fever medicine?"

"Wobbufett," the shopkeeper's Wobbufett nodded and went to the back. The Wobbufett grabbed the medicine for colds and fevers and brought it back for them.

"Here you go, girls," the shopkeeper said smiling.

"You have no idea how lucky we are," Lana said.

"It's a good thing we came here before the store closed for the festival," Lillie said as Mina nodded.

"Very," Mina simply said.

"I will have to agree with you since I was about to close up for the festival. And I do hope you enjoy it," the shopkeeper said smiling.

"Wobbufett!" The shopkeeper's Wobbufett said.

The girls smiled knowing their errand was completed. They paid for the purchase and decided to stick around and have a little fun. They played with some of the Wynaut and Wobbufett.

Meanwhile outside of town, three delinquents are standing and looking at the Wobbufett and Wynaut and the whole town below.

"Just look at 'em down there," the delinquent with the long cyan hair said.

"While they were preparing for their little festival, we were doing some serious training," the delinquent with the big spiky hair said.

"But none of them were ready for us," the delinquent with the blonde hair said.

"Let's have some fun," the delinquent with the long cyan hair said pulling out a Pokéball. "Go Hitmonlee!" The Pokéball opens and lets out his Hitmonlee. The other two took out their Pokéballs and threw them.

"Go Machoke!" The delinquent with the blonde hair called out.

"Go Primeape!" The delinquent with the big spiky hair called out.

"Let's do it!" They all said as they set off to cause trouble.

Over to the apple orchard, the noise makers go off.

"It's them again!" Charmaine said.

"They're on the move!" Sophocles said.

Up in the trees, the thieves turns out to be some Pichu. One of the Pichu took a bite of the apple and took off through the trees. Pikachu lead the pursuit.

"They're fast!" Kiawe said.

As the Pichu ran for it, one of them drops the apple it took a bite on and falls onto the ground. Pikachu stops at a bush as Charmaine, Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles stopped Charmaine picks up the apple and examines it.

"This has the same bite marks as the one you showed me," Charmaine said.

Pikachu went through the same bush and followed them inside. The Pichu sighed with relief that they managed to get away.

"Pika!" Pikachu shouted coming out of the bushes. The Pichu yelped in surprise.

"So it was you. It's wrong to steal. I almost got into trouble for something you did!" - Pikachu subtitle.

"We're sorry." - Pichu subtitle.

"It's just, we were hungry." - Pichu 1 subtitle.

"We haven't eaten for a while all because of a mean Teddiursa." - Pichu 2 subtitle.

"She and her Sneasel and Beedrill bullies kept taking our food, so we came here." - Pichu 3 subtitle. Pikachu understood the situation pretty well.

"Is that why you're out here? Where does that Teddiursa get off to doing that?" - Pikachu subtitle.

"She calls herself princess and she says she can do what she wants and she don't care if we starve to death." - Pichu 2.

"PICHU!" A loud cry is heard as Pikachu and the three Pichu went to the source. A whole bunch of Pichu were huddled together scared. The three Pichu and Pikachu came and saw a Fearow flying above them.

"A Fearow?" - Pikachu subtitle.

"That Fearow works for the Teddiursa we told you about." - Pichu 2 subtitle.

Charmaine, Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles looked up and saw the same Fearow flying around the area.

"Is that a Fearow up there?" Sophocles asked.

"It Is. And it has its eye on something," Charmaine said.

"And it's flying in the same direction Pikachu went," Kiawe said.

The Fearow kept circling the sky as Charmaine, Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles saw the Pichu.

"Oh my!" Charmaine said.

"Pichu," Sophocles said.

"I knew I recognized those bite marks," Illima said.

"So these are the Pokémon that has been stealing my apples?" Charmaine asked.

"If Kairi were here, she would gush over how cute they are. And she'd be right," Sophocles said.

"But how did they get here?" Kiawe asked.

"Excellent question," Illima said.

The Fearow flies down to attack the little Pichu knowing they were too scared to run. Two more Pichu, one has the same yellow coat as Pikachu and one has a spiky ear heard the other Pichu cries climbed up a tree and shocked the Fearow, but the shock themselves as well.

"You see that?" Sophocles asked.

"That one Pichu is a Shiny Pichu and that other one has a spiky ear. They must be protecting those other Pichu," Illima said.

"They did hurt that Fearow, but they also hurt themselves too," Kiawe said.

The two Pichu fell to the ground with the other Pichu. Fearow shook off the shock and came down. They covered their eyes fearing the inevitable. Pikachu ran in front of the Pichu.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE, YOU BUZZARD!" - Pikachu subtitle.

The Shiny Pichu and the Spiky-eared Pichu opened their eyes and saw Pikachu shoot out his Thunderbolt attack shocking Fearow making the bird Pokémon fly away.

A few minutes later, some of the Pichu gave some of the apples the stole and gave Charmaine an apologetic look.

"Pichu, Pi," the Pichu said when its stomach grumbled. All of the bellies of the Pichu growled as they were all hungry.

"These Pichu must not have eaten for quite some time," Illima pointed out.

"Most of them must have been weak from hunger so they been stealing the apples just to feed them," Kiawe said.

"Now that you mentioned it, I've heard something about wild fruit and berries being scarce," Charmaine said.

Pikachu knew the source of the scarcity of food; it was because of a greedy Teddiursa and her followers. The yellow mouse Pokémon felt sorry for his pre-evolved forms and wanted to help them. The Shiny Pichu and Spiky-eared Pichu looked to the Pikachu.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

"Don't worry, Pikachu. I'll take care of it," Charmaine said. She placed a bunch of apples on leaves and presented. "Okay, come and get it." All the Pichu were scared. "Don't be scared, they're all for you." The Pichu happily ate the apples feeling so happy about finally being able to eat without any Beedrill buzzing around.

"They're eating like they never seen food before," Kiawe said.

"The problem is they love the apples so much, now they'll never leave the orchard and they'll eat all the apples faster than I can pick them. I can't let that happen," Charmaine said.

"That is a problem," Illima said stroking his chin. "If only there was some way the Pichu can stay and Charmaine can pick apples."

Pikachu, Kiawe and Sophocles thought for a moment too. Sophocles looked at the Pichu and the trees. He looked back and forth until he got an idea.

"Wait a minute! I got something!" Sophocles said. Charmaine, Illima, Kiawe, and Pikachu looked at the Electric Type Pokémon trainer.

"What's your idea, Sophocles?" Charmaine asked.

After a few minutes of explaining, Sophocles had Pikachu teach the Pichu about protecting the apple orchards. Pikachu demonstrated it by having Vikavolt pretending to steal an apple. Pikachu shocked the stag beetle Pokémon and Vikavolt flew away. And when a flock of Pidgey came to steal some apples the Pichu got to work in defending the orchard. The tiny mouse Pokémon shocked the Pidgey, shocking themselves in the process. After defending the orchard, Pikachu then teaches the Pichu about apple picking. Pikachu picked an apple and put in the the basket. The Pichu quickly caught on and picked the apples and placed them in the basket.

"That was very good thinking, Sophocles! You found a way for Charmaine to pick the apples and for the Pichu to stay," Kiawe said.

"Just a little something I took out of Sora's playbook," Sophocles said.

"Agreed. Sora would definitely approve of this idea," Illima said.

"With the Pichu pitching in, I can pick even more apples than I have picked before," Charmaine said smiling.

"You might as well consider it their way of paying you back for all the fruit they stole," Kiawe said.

"Is that right, Sophocles?" Charmaine asked.

"That's exactly it, Charmaine," Sophocles nodded.

"And instead of being enemies, you and the Pichu can be friends. Your orchard will be safer than before," Illima said. Charmaine smiled knowing he was right.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu said.

"Pichu!" The Shiny and Spiky-eared Pichu chirped. They went up to their evolved form with a hug.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked confused. The Pichu looked up and smiled. They nuzzled him and Pikachu returned the favor with a hug.

"I think those two Pichu likes Pikachu," Sophocles said.

"I think so too. And I think they want to be with Pikachu," Illima said.

"Sora will be proud. You got yourself two new little brothers," Kiawe said.

"Or sisters," Sophocles said. "Kairi'll tell if they're boys or girls."

"True," Illima said chuckling.

As the boys continued to pick apples. Pikachu became a big brother to the Pichu since he protected them from that Fearow.

Speaking of Fearow, it flies back deep in the forest and lands between two Beedrill as Teddiursa sits in her Ekans throne. Fearow barely raised its head with a salute with its wing.

"Reporting for duty, Princess Teddiursa." - Fearow subtitle.

"Golly! You don't look so good. But, enough of that. Did you teach those naughty Pichu for running away and refusing to share with me?" - Teddiursa subtitle. Fearow winced sweating up a waterfall.

"About that. It's a bit in a gray area." - Fearow subtitle. Teddiursa stood up getting into an irate look on her face. She grabs the beak Pokémon by the chest feathers.

"Excuse me. What do you mean by gray area? I mean, you did teach those little mousies a lesson? Right?" - Teddiursa subtitle. Fearow was getting even more afraid.

"No." - Fearow subtitle.

"Did I hear you say 'no' about the Pichu?" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Yes?" - Fearow subtitle. Teddiursa changed from a sweet and innocent look to a an evil and extremely angry look and slammed the beak Pokémon to the ground making the Beedrill shake in fear not wanting to cross her.

"WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE, YOU BIG STUPID DUMMY DOODIE-HEADED TURKEY?!" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"I found those Pichu hiding in an apple orchard, and when I was about to make an example out of them, a Pikachu jumped in front of me and he shocked me. I had to retreat! That was no ordinary Pikachu." - Fearow subtitle.

"A Pikachu saved those Pichu?" - Teddiursa subtitle. Fearow nodded.

"That's what happened." - Fearow subtitle.

"Have I ever told you how utterly WORTHLESS YOU ARE?!" - Teddiursa subtitle. Teddiursa plucks off a feather from Fearow's head making it shriek in pain. All the Beedrill shook even harder in fear. The Ekans throne even shook in fear.

"She's crazy." - Ekans 1 subtitle. A second Ekans smacks it with its rattle tail.

"Shut up. She's in a bad mood as it is." - Ekans 2 subtitle.

"WHAT IS THIS FOREST COMING TO?! Can't they see that a princess should be given whatever she wants?" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"I can see it." - Fearow subtitle.

"What you see don't mean a thing to me. And I'll have to teach you a lesson about not doing what you were going to do even after you said you were going to do it." - Teddiursa subtitle. Fearow shook in fear.

"No, no, no. Please don't! I can make things right! Just give me another chance!" - Fearow subtitle. Teddiursa gave the beak Pokémon a cold look.

"I don't give second chances. And it's not nice to break a promise to a princess." - Fearow subtitle. Teddiursa looked at her Beedrill flunkies gave them a slid throat gesture. The Beedrill took the Fearow with them to deal with it.

"Princess Please! Can't you just make a one-time exception! Please, please, please!" - Fearow subtitle. Fearow kept begging as the Beedrill took off with the bird Pokémon.

None of the Beedrill dared to question their boss unless they wanted to end up like that Fearow.

Further back, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Aipom, Raticate, and Shuckle made their way towards the spoiled Teddiura's lair following her flunkie's trail.

"Can you believe that a Teddiursa would be such a bad apple?" - Shuckle subtitle.

"To be honest, no," - Cyndaquil subtitle.

"The Teddiursa we know is sweeter than honey, and a bit of a crybaby." - Aipom subtitle.

"We shouldn't be underestimating any Pokémon. We don't know what she's capable of." - Raticate subtitle.

"Raticate's right. I remember our run-in with several Ultra Beasts, and all those Poipole were nothing to sneeze at." - Chikorita subtitle. The newest Pokémon were a tad confused by what she meant.

"Ultra Beasts?" - Shuckle subtitle. Shuckle turns to Cyndaquil.

"Explanations will come later." - Cyndaquil subtitle. Raticate sniffed the air again.

"Guys! The scent is getting fresh! We're getting closer!" - Raticate subtitle.

"Great! I really wanna teach them a lesson they won't forget!" - Totodile subtitle.

"You're not the only one, Totodile! Nobody messes with Sora and his Pokémon and gets away with it!" - Chikorita subtitle.

"I think you mean Sora and Kairi's Pokémon. Shuckle and I are right here." - Raticate subtitle.

"Doesn't matter right now because we have a Teddiursa to teach!" - Chikorita subtitle. Cyndaquil, Totodile, Aipom, Raticate, and Shuckle all agreed with her and pressed on.

Over to the lake where we last left Raichu and Miltank, the Fearligatr they were told about has emerged from the lake and told of Kairi's Pokémon to get lost.

"Just who do you think you are to decide who can be at this lake and who can't? What gives you that right?" - Raichu subtitle.

"The king of the lake. Me and my loyal followers have made this lake our own personal swimming hole. So I will like for you to leave this lake and not come back." - Feraligatr subtitle. The Qwilfish nodded in agreement.

"But, it you were just scaring away any Pokémon and people who want to come here. Our trainer sent us to get water to help her boyfriend. Just let us have some of the water, please?" - Miltank subtitle. Feraligatr stroked his chin.

"HM? Let me think about it. NO!" - Feraligatr subtitle. The big jaw Pokémon laughed hard along with his Qwilfish followers. Miltank just frowned.

"Please? You would be doing a nice thing for someone just by sharing your water with us." - Miltank subtitle.

"Well, I don't do nice. And I don't share with anyone, but ME, MYSELF, AND I! And also the Qwilfish, just as long as they do as I say." - Feraligatr subtitle.

"Listen here you, big blue walking suitcase!" - Raichu subtitle. Feraligatr fired Hydro Pump at the two Pokémon sending them back several feet.

"Again, I will ask you to get lost!" - Feraligatr subtitle. Raichu and Miltank slowly stood up.

"I don't know what your problem is, but we're not going anywhere without that water!" - Raichu subtitle. Feraligatr glares at two of Kairi's Pokémon.

"Then, you're not going anywhere at all." - Feraligatr subtitle. Raichu glares at the big jaw Pokémon with anger in his eyes and his cheeks sparking.

"If you want to do it the hard way, then we'll do it the hard way." - Raichu subtitle. Raichu charges towards the crocodilian Pokémon. Feraligatr swipes his claws at the mouse Pokémon only to miss. Raichu jumped and gave Feraligatr Thunder Punch in the face. Feraligatr glares at Raichu.

"You had your chance." - Feraligatr subtitle. Feraligatr threw an Ice Punch at Raichu, but he mananged to avoid the punch with a Quick Attack in the gut making the crown fly off his head.

The crown landed in front of Miltank's feet and she picked it up and marveled at the crown.

"Ooh, it's pretty. It's just like Sora's necklace." - Miltank subtitle.

As Raichu and Feraligatr fought on, the larger Pokémon started to move faster to match Raichu's speed. But, despite Feraligatr's speed, he couldn't land a hit on the mouse Pokémon. He turned to the Qwilfish.

"Don't just float there! Do something!" Feraligatr subtitle. The Qwilfish fired fired spikes right Raichu and he manges to avoid them. Feraligatr watched Raichu run across the lake's shore right when Raichu ran pass Miltank who was holding the crown. Feraligatr felt the top of his head and let out a huge gasp. "MY CROWN!" - Feraligatr subtitle. Feraligatr turned to the Qwilfish. "Stop, stop, stop! Don't hit my crown!" - Feraligatr subtitle. Too late when several spikes hit the crown as Raichu got her down on the ground. Feraligatr stared in shocked and disbelief as his followers had just destroyed his crown.

"What a shame. It was such a pretty crown." - Miltank subtile. Feraligatr picked up the remains of the crown in utter shock, then started to growl in anger and his eyes were burning in rage.

"You two did this to my crown! You'll pay for that!" - Feraligatr subtitle. Miltank turned to Raichu.

"Will it help to tell him that we're sorry?" - Miltank subtitle.

"I don't think so. And even if it does, I don't think he'll be in a mood to listen." - Raichu subtitle.

"What do we do?" - Miltank subtitle.

"Roll faster than you have ever rolled before." - Raichu subtitle. Raichu started to run while Miltank rolled as Feraligatr started to pursue them.

Over to the Wobbufett Village, the Alolan girls were playing with the Wobbufett and Wynaut along with their Pokémon. A young man with a Wobbufett with bushy eyebrows was amazed to see Lillie's Vulpix and Magearna.

"I had no idea Wobbufett could be so fun," Lillie said pushing a Wobbufett on a swing. The young man introduced himself as Nario. He explained to the girls about something nobody can see about Wobbufett.

Suddenly, a villager came running up to Nario in a frantic panic.

"Nario! Nario! We got trouble!" The villager said.

"What's wrong?" Nario asked.

"It's Annie! Someone attacked her Wobbufett!" The villager exclaimed. This got the Alolan girl's attention.

"Attacked?!" The girls exclaimed.

"Where are they?" Nario asked.

"By the river!" The villager said. They all raced to the river and gasped to see a little girl crying over Wobbufett being beaten up. Hapu didn't like it one bit. She growled in anger over who would make a little cry.

"What happened, Annie?" Nario asked.

"We were playing by the river when three bad men and their Pokémon came and hurt my Wobbufett," Annie cried.

"This is horrible," Lillie said.

"Who would do such a thing?" Mallow asked.

"Someone who is obviously heartless," Hapu said with a tone of anger in her voice. "This is absolutely unforgivable! Whoever did this isn't going to get away with this!"

"Hapu's right. Sora would do the same thing for these people," Lana said. "And if someone did that to my little sisters, I would feel the same way."

"Yeah. Let's find them," Mina said.

Another villager has come to the scene.

"There was another Wobbufett attack!" The villager called out. The girls gasped and they went over to a shack by the same river.

"They took us completely by surprise! The three of them came out of nowhere and before I could stop them, they did this to my Wobbufett!" The middle-aged man explained.

"Wobbufett," the injured Wobbufett said weakly.

"Don't worry, Wobby. Just take it easy!" The middle-aged man said.

"Three of them," Mallow said.

"What kind of Pokémon did the attackers have?" Acerola asked.

"They had Fighting Type Pokémon with them! A Hitmonlee, a Machoke, and a Primeape," the middle-aged man said. Nario thought for a moment.

"This sounds vaguely familiar," Nario said stroking his chin.

Meanwhile, over to the Alolan boys and Pikachu, they said their goodbyes to Charmaine and the Pichu; with the exception of the Shiny Pichu and Spiky-eared Pichu wanting to be with Pikachu.

They managed to make it to the nearest town and saw the pharmacy closed and all the windows were boarded.

"Well, this is just nice," Kiawe said sarcastically.

"What could have happened here?' Illima asked.

"A bunch of Beedrill is what happened," a woman's voice came. "They've been causing trouble for the town for a while and some of the food there has been stolen from the local supermarket." The Pichu hid behind Pikachu to hear about Beedrill since they knew who they work for.

"Why would Beedrill just attack your town?" Sophocles asked.

"Not just Beedrill, but a couple of Sneasel as well. They even stole vegetables from the farm just outside of town," the woman said. The local baker walked up.

"Those Pokémon have been a nuisance around, so nobody even bothers coming here. Most of the businesses had gone under and many of the people have moved away because of them," the baker said.

"Well, I'm starting to think they had the right idea since I'm moving to Olivine City," the woman said. Pikachu shook his head in disbelief. He turned to the two Pichu.

"Is she seriously like that?" - Pikachu subtitle.

"She really is." - Shiny Pichu subtitle.

"The other Pokémon in the forest has it worse," Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.

"Well, we need to teach her a lesson!" - Pikachu subtitle. The Pichu looked at Pikachu with a serious look.

Just when the Alolan boys were about to take off, a buzzing sound is heard and a small squad of Beedrill come buzzing in.

"It's them again!" The baker exclaimed.

"Take cover!" The woman yelped as she ran off. Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles got their Pokéballs ready and threw them.

"Bewear! Stantler! Go!" Illima called out as the Pokéballs opened and let out Bewear and Stantler.

"Turtonator! Marowak! Go!" Kiawe called out letting Marowak and Turtonator enter the battle.

"Togedemaru! Magnemite! Vikavolt! Flaaffy! Go!" Sophocles called out letting out his team.

Pikachu even joined the battle, figuring the Beedrill will target them next. The Pokémon prepared to the incoming Beedrill. Pikachu looked at the two Pichu.

"Don't worry. I won't let them get near you. I promise." - Pikachu subtitle. The Pichu smiled as they felt safe. But, it didn't take away their fears.

"Bewear! Focus Blast! Stantler! Take Down!" Illima ordered. Bewear sends out a ball of energy and sends towards the Beedrill. Stantler rams into one of them.

"Marowak! Flame Wheel! Turtonator! Dragon Tail!" Kiawe ordered. Turtonator swung at one of the Beedrill, while Marowak plows through them.

"Vikavolt! Magnemite! Flaaffy! Thunderbolt! Togedemaru! Discharge!" Sophocles ordered. The electric Pokémon sent out their electric attacks. Pikachu joined in on the attack shocking the poison bee Pokémon. Having enough, the Beedrill retreated. Pikachu chased right after them with the Pichu following them.

"Pikachu! Pichu! Come back!" Kiawe called after them. Illima holds him back.

"Let them go, Kiawe. Pikachu knows what he's doing," Illima said. Kiawe nods as he knew Illima was right. As for Sophocles, he looked at the damaged pharmacy and gave a sad sigh.

"I can't believe this. We came here for nothing," Sophocles said feeling depressed.

"Don't take it that way, Sophocles. It wasn't for nothing. We had quite an adventure. Isn't that what counts?" Kiawe asked.

"Yeah. But everything that happened today is all my fault!" Sophocles exclaimed.

"All your fault?" Illima asked not understanding what he means.

"What do you mean all your fault? What are you talking about?" Kiawe asked.

"Remember that one day that I tripped over a tree root and the first-aid kit went flying?" Sophocles asked.

"Yes," Illima and

"Well, the thing is..." Sophocles paused for a moment as he took a big gulp, knowing he wasn't going to get out of it, "the first-aid kit was opened and the medicines went flying out of it and I didn't even notice it until Kiawe checked on it this morning and Kairi will blame me for Sora's fever!" Illima and Kiawe stared at their friend letting it all sink in. Kiawe grabbed him by his shirt.

"YOU LOST THE MEDICINE WE HAD AND YOU DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I CHECKED ON IT? HOW COULD YOU NOT NOTICE IT?!" Kiawe exclaimed.

"I just assumed everything was all there. I didn't think it was worth worrying about and if I noticed it, I would have done something about it sooner," Sophocles said.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THE CONTENTS! OTHERWISE, WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ARGUMENT NOW!" Kiawe shouted.

"That's enough, Kiawe. Yelling at Sophocles isn't going to make things better. It will only make his guilt worse," Illima said.

"He was carrying the first-aid kit. He should have been more careful and he should have told us about it sooner," Kiawe said.

"I agree. He should have, but this experience today isn't going to change what happened," Illima said.

"And now Kairi is probably make me starve for letting this happen," Sophocles said. Illima and Kiawe looked at him with a surprised look.

"Why in the world would you think such a thing? You should know Kairi would never do such a cruel thing to you," Illima said.

"She wouldn't do that to anyone. You should know that by now," Kiawe said.

"It's just because, Sora is her boyfriend and she loves him as much as Pikachu loves apples and she might get mad at me for it," Sophocles said sobbing.

"I'm sorry for raising my voice like that. I just overreacted. I know it was an accident," Kiawe said.

"It's only because it was an emergency. And Kairi will never get angry over something you had no control over, but you made this matter worse by not telling us sooner," Illima said.

"I'll be more careful," Sophocles said.

"But, since the store is closed, we should head back and tell her we did our best," Kiawe said.

"Yeah. The girls probably had better luck than we did anyway," Sophocles said. As they started to head back, Sophocles knew for certain he had to tell Kairi about the accident and will gladly except anything coming his way.

Pikachu and the Pichu followed the Beedrill through the forest and bumped into Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Aipom, Raticate, and Shuckle.

"What are you guys doing here?" - Pikachu subtitle.

"We should be asking you the same thing." Chikorita subtitle.

"Were you following a bunch of Beedrill just now?" - Pikachu subtitle.

"Sort of. It's actually three of them." - Aipom subtitle.

"Along with two Sneasel." - Totodile subtitle.

"And all of them working for a Teddiursa." - Pikachu subtitle.

"Yeah, that's right." - Totodile subtitle.

"How do you know that?" - Cyndaquil subtitle. Pikachu looked at the two Pichu with him.

"Just call it an educated guess. Anyway, it looks like we're on the same trail." - Pikachu subtile.

Not needing any second opinions, Pikachu and the two Pichu joined the rest of the Pokémon in dethroning the so-called princess.

Back to Sora and Kairi, she continued to wipe off Sora's sweat to the best of her abilities. She was about worried about him, but at the same time, she was glad that she was tending to Sora since this is the first time it happened.

"I can imagine how well your mom took care of you whenever you were sick. I might tell you the same thing since my grandma would tend to my needs whenever I was sick," Kairi said in her thoughts. She placed her hand on his forehead. "The temperature has dropped a little. But I hope the others come back soon with the medicine." Kairi clearly didn't care who comes back with it just as long as it gets to her just so as Sora can have it.

Back at the Wobbufett Village, a dozen more Wobbufett and Wynaut were mercilessly attacked.

"This is awful," Mallow said.

"Where could they be?" Acerola asked.

"How hard is it to find a Hitmonlee, a Machoke, and a Primeape?" Lana asked.

"We have to keep looking. Where's the one place we haven't looked yet?" Lillie asked.

Two villagers came into the scene.

"Did you hear? There was another Wobbufett attack!" The woman said.

"Where did it take place?" The man asked.

"It took place in the middle of the park! Right at the festival symbol!" The woman said.

"That answers that question," Mallow said.

The girls went over to the park and they headed to the festival symbol just in time to witness another Wobbufett assault. The punks laughed as the Wobbufett went flying.

"I betcha didn't know Wobbufett can fly like that," the punk with the cyan hair said.

"You again?" Nario exclaimed.

"So, you're the ones who are attacking all of these Wynaut and Wobbufett," Lillie said.

"That's right, blondie. Got a problem with it?" The punk with the cyan hair asked.

"You bet we do," Lana said.

"Why don't you leave them alone?" Mallow asked.

"What did they ever do to you?" Acerola asked.

"Yeah. What gives you the right?" Hapu asked.

"They deserve it! They're weaklings!" The punk with the big spiky hair said. Hapu growled at that response.

"I don't know these punks, but I already hate them," Hapu snarled.

"You asked what the Wobbufett ever do, well I'll tell you," Nario said. "About a year ago, these punks came into our village to cause some trouble. They use Fighting Type Pokémon, but instead of actually training them, they sent them to attack our village to build up their strength. They caused loads of damage and they eventually ended up at Lulu's house and that was their mistake. They thought they were tough. They underestimated her Wobbufett and she beat them good."

"And we told you were wouldn't forget it," the punk with the cyan hair said.

"We never forget," the punk with the blonde hair said.

"It's payback time for beating us the last time," the punk with the big spiky hair said.

"That's why you came back? Just for revenge? That's unforgivable!" Hapu snarled.

"You guys are just plain disgusting!" Acerola said.

"You're also pretty low to do this!" Lana hissed.

"Rock bottom," Mina said.

"I should go get Lulu and Officer Jenny," Nario said as he left to get help. The girls stay behind to deal with the punks.

"We've been training all year and this time we're a lot stronger," the punk with the big spiky hair said.

"Just ask those wimpy Wobbufett," the punk with the cyan hair said.

"They'll tell you exactly how stronger we are," the punk with the blonde hair said.

"Did you actually train them or did you just have them break a few windows?" Hapu snapped at them.

"You already proven your point now get lost!" Mallow said.

"We're not going anywhere until we have whipped every single Wobbufett in this crummy town," the punk with the blonde hair said.

"And the score isn't settled until we do," the punk with the spiky hair said.

Not too far from the village, Raichu and Miltank ran (and rolled in Miltank's case) through the forest knowing the angry is still behind them. Miltank uncurled her body as they took a stop.

"You think that Feraligatr is still behind us?" - Miltank subtitle.

"Yes I do. I can hear him coming this way. And I don't think he's going to stop until he does get us." - Raichu subtitle. Fraligatr's roar is heard through the trees.

"You can run, but you can't hide!" - Feraligatr subtitle.

Raichu and Miltank running unaware of Lulu, Officer Jenny and their Wobbufett rushing to the scene.

"They're at the festival symbol!" Nario said.

"I never thought we see them again," Lulu said.

"And they couldn't come at the worst possible time as the festival," Officer Jenny said.

"Wobbu, Wobbu," Officer Jenny's Wobbufett said.

Feraligatr rushed out of the woods still in hot pusuit of Raichu and Miltank. He managed to follow them just by smelling for them.

"There isn't a safe place you can go that I can't find you two! Come out, come out, come out, wherever you are! Ready or not, here I come!" - Feraligatr subtitle.

Over to Pikachu and some of Sora and Kairi's other Pokémon, they finally caught up with the Sneasel and the Beedrill carrying the berries they picked.

"Those are the Sneasel and Beedrill we told you about." - Shiny Pichu subtitle.

"And those are the berries we picked and those thieves stole them from us!" - Raticate subtitle.

"We should follow them. See where they lead us." - Pikachu subtitle.

"And we're coming with you." - Spiky-ear Pichu subtitle.

"No. You two are staying here. That Teddiursa and her goons will recognize you. The best you can do is stay here where it's safe. And if Sora were here, he would say the same thing." - Pikachu subtitle.

"Pikachu is right. You two little guys will get hurt and Pikachu will only blame himself." - Cyndaquil subtitle. The Pichu didn't want to stay behind, but they were afraid of the Teddiursa inside.

Pikachu, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Aipom, Raticate, and Shuckle went inside the lair and hid in the shadows where they can't be seen. They looked at the two Sneasel and three Beedrill bring in the berries they stole. Teddiursa stood up from her Ekans throne.

"Here it is, Princess. The berries that you requested." - Sneasel 2 subtitle.

"How wonderful! All these berries look so yummy, tasty, and delicious!" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Glad that you think so, Princess. Those Pokémon should think twice before crossing us, I mean you." - Sneasel 1 subtitle.

"Would have to agree." - Sneasel 2 subtitle.

"Since those naughty Pokémon decided to take my berries without asking me first, I thought I'd take back what's all mine." - Teddiursa subtitle. Pikachu scoffed.

"More likely, you just stole them from my friends." - Pikachu subtitle.

"Ooh! That Persian was right. She does look like the spoiled type." - Chikorita subtitle.

"She fits the bill perfectly." - Totodile subtitle. Some rustling is heard from the bushes over to Teddiursa.

"Quiet. Someone's coming." - Raticate subtitle.

The rustling came from a Persian who has two familiar faces with her. She has the two Pichu by the tail. Pikachu winced knowing they were found out.

"Pichu. That Persian found you." - Pikachu subtitle.

"That Persian! I knew we couldn't trust her!" - Aipom subtitle.

"Well, if it isn't it my favorite kitty cat. And I can see that you found two of those naughty Pichu that got away and refused to share with me. Where did you find them?" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"I found them lurking around outside. Didn't know why they're here, but doesn't matter, because they made the fatal mistake of coming back." - Persian subtitle.

"Oh, goody-goody! And today is such a good day!" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"These two Pichu aren't the reason I came here. That Chikorita and those other Pokémon are heading your way and they plan on stealing back the food you had stolen." - Persian subtitle. The Sneasel winced at the thought of leaving them a trail.

"So they're on their way here. Perfect, because I personally want to meet them and put them in their place. You did the right thing by telling them about me just so as they can come running." - Teddiursa subtitle. Sora and Kairi's Pokémon couldn't believe what they heard.

"You were right, Aipom! They set us up!" -Raticate subtitle.

"She wanted us to come!" - Totodile subtitle.

"Well, it worked. And we're going to dethrone that spoiled rotten princess." - Chikorita subtitle. An Arbok comes up from behind them and joined by some of the Beedrill.

"That is what you think." - Arbok subtitle. The human trained Pokémon turned around and saw the Arbok and Beedrill. They quickly surrounded their stingers poiting at them. They were about to attack them, but Pikachu stops them.

"Stand down, guys! They win this round." - Pikachu subtitle.

"Smart desicion, rodent." - Arbok subtitle. Arbok nods to them as the Beedrill takes the captives to their princess.

Back at camp, Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles came back and Kairi took her eyes off her boyfriend and smiled.

"Welcome back guys," Kairi greeted. She noticed a certain yellow Pokémon isn't with them. "Where's Pikachu?"

"About that," Kiawe said. The boys explained to her about their stop at an apple orchard with Charmaine running it. They told her about two certain Pichu coming with them after settling a fued between its owner and its tendents.

They told her when they reached the nearest town, they found the place partically desserted. And the local pharmacy was closed after taking some serious damage caused by wild Beedrill. They chased the Beedrill off, but Pikachu and the two Pichu after them.

"I think there must be a reason why Pikachu went after those Beedrill. Sora would agree if he was out there," Kairi said.

"Also, there's something more," Sophocles said. Kairi looked at the Electric Type trainer. "The thing is, when I tripped over a tree root, I lost the medicine in the first-aid kit and I didn't check the contents. I didn't know about it until this morning, and I didn't say anything, because I was afraid you were going to be mad at me and blame me for Sora's fever."

Kairi looked at and saw how sorry he was for what happened. Sophocles was expecting to get an earful from Sora's girlfriend. She places her hand on his shoulder. Sophocles looked up and saw she wasn't angry at him.

"The important thing is you tried your best. I'm not happy about what happened to the medicine, but I appreciate that you tried to make up for it. And it'll be silly to blame you over a fever," Kairi said. That made Sophocles feel better and he smiled.

"You see, Sophocles? Kairi has forgiven you," Illima said.

"I see it now," Sophocles said.

"So how is he feeling?" Kiawe asked.

"Sora's feeling a little better. He's sleeping soundly like a baby," Kairi said. The boys knew that was a good sign.

Over to the Wobbufett Village, Raichu and Miltank are still running for it while Feraligatr has finally caught up to them.

"I found you at last!" - Feraligatr subtitle. Feraligatr swiped his claws at the two Pokémon.

"Catch us if you can!" - Raichu subtitle.

"Don't taunt me!" - Feraligatr subtitle.

Raichu and Miltank continued to run for it while Feraligatr chase after them. They quickly hid in the nearby bushes as Feraligatr blindly ran ahead. Raichu and Miltank panted.

I" don't think I ever runned and rolled so fast in my life." - Miltank subtitle.

"First of all, it's ran, not runned. And seond, neither have I." - Raichu subtitle.

"I guess. But that meanie will keep chasing us if we let him see us." - Miltank subtitle.

"Not if he's chasing after one of us. I'll draw his attention and you head back to the lake and get some of the water to bring back to camp." - Raichu subtitle.

"No, I want to go with you." - Miltank subtitle.

"I can run much faster than you can mostly, and you can carry it back since you're bigger than me. Kairi is counting on you. Sora's counting on you." - Raichu subtitle. Miltank knew he was right and nodded as she started crying. Raichu went out of the bushes and followed Feraligatr's scent. Miltank waited for Raichu to keep going and went off to the lake once she was certain he was far enough.

Feraligatr looked around as he realized he lost both of the Pokémon he was chasing.

"Where are you little creeps?!" - Feraligatr subtitle. Raichu ran up behind the big jaw Pokémon and gave him a Thunder Punch on the left leg. He looks at the mouse Pokémon giving him an eyelid taunt. Feraligatr growls in anger and chases after him.

Back to the Alolan girls and the punks.

"So, who's next? Who wants to try their luck?" The punk with the cyan hair asked. Each of the girls took out a Pokéball.

"I wanna try my luck, you brain-dead knuckle dragging, butt scratching, nose picking Neanderthals!" Hapu shouted to them.

"Yeah, me too!" Mallow said.

"Let's have a battle right here, right now!" Acerola said.

"Yeah!" Mina said.

"With you?!" Two of the punks exclaimed.

"Now, why would we waste our time with some little girls like you?" The punk with the cyan hair asked.

"You afraid of losing to us?" Lana asked.

"We're ready to prove to you how much big cowardly babies you are," Hapu said.

"Babies," Mina taunted.

"You wanna prove how strong you are, then show us how strong you aren't," Lillie said. The villager tried to tell the girls they couldn't battle.

"So, it's six against three. Let's have some fun! Hitmonlee!" The punk with the cyan hair called out.

"Go Machoke!" The punk with the blonde hair called out.

"Go for it, Primeape!" The punk with the big spiky hair called out. Three fighting Type Pokémon got ready for battle. The Alolan girls threw their Pokéballs.

Hapu, "Go Mudsdale!"

Lillie, "Go Ponyta!"

Mallow, "Tsareena! Go!"

Lana, "Poliwhirl! Go!"

Acerola, "Go Gengar!"

Mina, "Go Clefairy!"

"Hitmonlee! Mega Kick!" The punk with the cyan hair ordered.

"Mudsdale! High Horsepower!" Hapu ordered. Mudsdale whinnies as she was about to attack when whistles are blown.

"Stop! Nobody is battling anybody!" Officer Jenny called out.

"You can't have a Pokémon battle here," Lulu said.

"Why not?! We're giving them what they deserve for attacking everyone's Wobbufett!" Hapu said.

"We had a feeling you'd show up," the punk with the cyan hair hair.

"We'll battle you too, lady! And this time, we'll run both you and your Wobbufett out of town!' The punk with the big spiky hair said.

"Nobody is battling anybody!" Lulu called out.

"Why not?" The punk with the cyan hair asked.

"All Pokémon battles are strictly prohibited during the Wobbufett Festival," Officer Jenny said and the girls realized what they almost did. "Wobbufett never attack first. So, to honor that spirit the founders of the festival forbids Pokémon battles during the festival. That's the tradition and nobody is going to break it."

"Wobbufett," Office Jenny's Wobbufett said.

"We honestly didn't know that," Mallow said.

"That explains why those bullies and their Pokémon could beat all the Wobbufett," Lillie said.

"So please, you will have to save your battle until after the festival," Lulu said.

"We will save our battle if that's the rule," Lana said. Hapu just couldn't believe what she said.

"Are you kidding me?!" Hapu snapped.

"That's enough, Hapu!" Lillie said.

"But Lillie," Hapu said.

"Lillie's right. I don't agree with it either, but rules are rules," Mallow said.

"You three know the rules and now get going!" Officer Jenny told the punks.

"You heard what Officer Jenny said. Get out of our village and don't ever come back!" Lulu added.

"We came to whip all your Wynaut and Wobbufett and that's what we're gonna do!" The punk with the cyan hair said.

"You can't order us around like kids," the punk with the blonde hair said.

"We'll leave this dump when we're good and ready," the punk with the spiky hair said.

"And if we can't whip the real Wobbufett," the punk with the cyan hair said before he and his cohorts turned to the festival symbol. "We'll whip this one instead!" The townspeople gasped.

"They wouldn't dare!" Lulu exclaimed.

The punks ordered their Pokémon to attack the festival symbol. The Alolan girls were appalled by this sight. They were glad Sora wasn't here, because he wouldn't let this stand. But they knew Sora had to grudgingly follow the rule even if he didn't agree with it.

Not too far, Raichu lead Feraligatr unkowingly to the festival symbol. Raichu climbed up a tree and blew a raspberry at the large crocodilian Pokémon. Feraligatr didn't like being taunted and teased by the mouse Pokémon. Feraligatr fired Hydro Pump at Raichu and he dodges it just in time.

The Fighting Type Pokémon kept wreaking the festival symbol unaware of the water attack coming towards them until it hits all three of them. The punks gasped at the sight. The Alolan girls and the townspeople were just as shocked.

They all turned to where it came from to see a Raichu running from a Feraligatr. The Alolan girls recognized the Raichu.

"Isn't that Kairi's Raichu?" Lana asked.

"It is. But what is he doing here?" Lillie said.

"And is that Feraligatr chasing him?" Hapu asked.

Feraligatr chased after Raichu right up to the festival symbol and plowed through the punks like they weren't there.

"What was that about?" The punk with the cyan hair asked.

"I think I know that Feraligatr," Nario said. The girls all turned to him.

"What do you mean?" Acerola asked.

"That Feraligatr is a wild Pokémon that lives at a lake not too far from the village. It also shares the lake with a bunch of Qwilfish. It attacks anyone who gets near the lake. It usually wears a big silver crown," Lulu explained.

The girls didn't know what Raichu did to make it angry, but they watched the chase continue. The punks glared at the large Pokémon.

"That Feraligatr picked the wrong gang to mess with!" The punk with the cyan hair said.

"Let's teach it that it can't run into us and get away with it!" The punk with big spiky hair said.

"Yeah! Let's get it!" The punk with the blonde hair said.

"Hitmonlee! Forget the stupid festival symbol and focus on that Feraligatr instead!" The punk with the cyan hair ordered.

"You too, Machoke!" The punk with the blonde hair said.

"Go get it, Primeape!" The punk with the big spiky hair said.

The three Fighting Types set their attention on the Feraligatr and went after him.

"Hitmonlee! Rolling Kick!" The punk with the cyan hair ordered. Hitmonlee performed a roundhouse kick and it strikes Feraligatr hard.

"Machoke! Karate Chop!" The punk with the blonde hair ordered. Machoke gave him a good chop attack on Feraligatr's back.

"Primeape! Close Combat!" The punk with the big spiky hair ordered. Primeape ran up to Feraligatr giving him a series of beatings. Raichu wasn't sure what was going on, but he had to go for it.

"Not what I had in mind, but I'll take it." - Raichu subtitle.

"Raichu!" Lillie called out. Raichu turned to see the girls and wondered what they were doing there. Raichu went over to the girls.

"You think that Feraligatr is down?" Lana asked.

"Looks like it, but I don't think so," Hapu said.

The assault Feraligatr was getting only made him angrier and angrier. And, if they thought Primeape had a bad temper, well this one had rage that would rival Primeape's temper. Feraligatr rose up with a burning rage. Fearaligatr grabs Primeape and spins it around and around and threw it at Hitmonlee. Machoke tries to use Seismic Toss, only for Feraligatr to grab the superpower Pokémon by the neck and give it an Ice Punch in the face. Feraligatr grabs Hitmonlee by its springy leg and slammed it to the ground.

The three Fighting Type Pokémon stood up and started to run away having enough beatings from the big jaw Pokémon. Feraligatr then turns to the punks and they start wetting their pants; literally. They started running as soon as Feraligatr took one step towards them.

"Good riddance to bad rubbish," Hapu said.

"We may not have shown the town what cowards they were, but I'm glad that Feraligatr did that for us," Mallow said.

"I don't think they'll be back. And even if they do, I won't have a problem arresting them on sight," Officer Jenny said.

"What about that Feraligatr?" Lillie asked.

"That I don't seem to know," Officer Jenny said.

Back to the lake, Miltank comes back to the lake and the Qwilfish stick their heads out of the water.

"Please don't throw your spikes at me. I only want to get the water and you can have the lake to yourselves." - Miltank subtitle. One of the Qwilfish jumps out of the water and in front of the milk cow Pokémon.

"Actually, you can have some of the water if you want." - Qwilfish subtitle. Miltank was surprised by what Qwilfish said.

"You're sharing the water with me? Why did you act so mean to me and my friend earlier?" - Miltank subtitle.

"Because that Feraligatr told us to. We didn't mean anything by it. We all lived in peace until he came along and made us his flunkies. And now he's not here, you can have the water whenever you want. Just think it as our way of saying sorry for all the trouble." - Qwilfish subtitle.

"Well, you did say sorry and I now know you're very nice after all." - Miltank subtitle. Miltank filled up the bucket and happily headed back to camp, but not before she waved goodbye to the Qwilfish. All the Qwilfish smiled knowing how understanding she is.

"What a sweet kid." - Qwilfish subtitle.

Back to the village, the girls and Raichu were invited to partake in the festival, but they remembered they had to give some medicine to give Sora for his fever.

Over to Pikachu, and some of the other Pokémon, they were presented to Teddiursa by Arbok and some of the Beedrill.

"Took you long enough to get here as I knew you would. And you're just in time to bare witness to me giving these two a lecture about running away." - Teddiursa subtitle. Pikachu didn't like this Teddiursa's attitude.

"You mean just for leaving the forest only because they were only hungry?" - Pikachu subtitle.

"I just don't like it when they leave my forest. They must give me their food, because I'm a princess. And a princess can do whatever she wants." Teddiursa subtitle. That made Pikachu and the other Pokémon growled in anger, but the Beedrill pointed their stingers at them.

"I don't know what fairytale book you read, but we'll take the Pichu with us, but you can keep the food too." - Pikachu subtitle.

Sorry, but no. These Pichu were very bad for leaving with their friends, so I'm going to make an example out of them." - Teddiursa subtitle. Pikachu didn't like this one bit. Chikorita glares over to Persian who was grinning wickedly.

"I can't believe we listened to you! You told us all about her and you were working for her! How could you do this to us?" Chikorita subtitle.

"Poor naive little Chikorita. It was easy. The princess made me a deal you have to be crazy to turn down." Persian subtitle. Chikorita glares at Persian some more.

"Why you!" - Chikorita subtitle. Chikorita twirls her leaf ready to attack the classy cat Pokémon. Persian places a claw to the Spiky-eared Pichu.

"Take one more step. I dare you. I can't gurantee their safety if you do." - Persian subtitle. Chikorita stepped back. Persian grins evilly as she thought so.

"They're only little kids. I met a real princess before and she's even more of a princess than you." Pikachu subtitle. Teddiursa and the other Pokémon laughed.

"Do you expect me to believe that? You have to be stupid if you think I bought it when you said something about me keeping the food." - Teddiursa subtitle. Pikachu laughed.

"You're right about one thing. I didn't mean a thing when I mentioned you keeping the food. My trainer Sora wouldn't let this go unanswered. Your rule is over." - Pikachu subtitle. Teddiursa laughed.

"I sincerely doubt it. The forest is mine by right. That means, I run it however I want! And I don't care who likes it and who doesn't. Every Pokémon will do as I say because I'm a princess!" - Teddiursa subtitle. She turns to her Sneasel flunkies and nods to them knowing what to do.

Both Sneasel walked over to the Pichu shaking in fear. Pikachu and the other Pokémon wanted to stop them, but couldn't because of the Beedrill. As soon as one of them raises a claw, Persian swipes at them both. Persian fired Power Gem at the Beedrill holding Pikachu and the other Pokémon hostage. Persian looks over to Teddiursa with a sly grin.

"How do like that, you royal brat?" - Persian subtitle. Teddiursa growled in anger.

"Traitor! You've been playing me this whole time?!" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Yes I was. When they told me they were coming to deal with you, I knew this was the chance to bring you down! And it easy to convince Pokémon to deal with you and your followers. Now your regime is going down!" - Persian subtitle. Chikorita couldn't believe it.

"Were those Pichu in on it?" - Chikorita subtitle.

"No. I had to make them believe they in trouble. Take as much food as you can carry and go! We'll deal with the rest." - Persian subtitle. Before any one of the Pokémon could question by "we" many more Pokémon and shown up. Pikachu and the other Pokémon knew it was a good sign.

"We should help out!" - Raticate subtitle. Pikachu stepped in.

"Normally, I would agree, but we should leave it to them, because it's their battle; not ours." - Pikachu subtitle.

"I actually agree. They look like they can handle it by themselves." - Chikorita subtitle. With that settled, Sora and Kairi's Pokémon took back the stolen berries and took off with the two Pichu joining them. Teddiursa saw the Pokémon trying to make a break for it and she growls in anger.

"Don't let them get away!" - Teddiursa subtitle.

"Yes princess!" - Beedrill subtitle.

The Beedrill tried to stop them, only to be attacked by Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Hoothoot. Arbok tries to stop them, only to be pounced by some Snubbull. As the wild Pokémon took on Teddiursa's army, the oppressed wild Pokémon drove off the bully Pokémon. Teddiursa looked around and saw them retreating.

"Where are you fraidy cats going?! Get back in there! Keep fighting! Retreat backwards! Stop running away!" - Teddiursa subtitle. Persian pounces on the spoiled little bear Pokémon.

"You're princess no-more, princess." - Persian subtitle.

Sora and Kairi's Pokémon and the Pichu made it back to camp with Kairi and the boys waiting.

"Welcome back everyone," Kairi greeted. She saw the berries and she was amazed by how much there was. "You came back with quite a haul." She adverts her attention to the two Pichu with them. "Oh my gosh! You must be the Pichu I was told about! You're a million times cute!" Kairi gushed over the Pichu. The Pichu started to nuzzle Kairi since being called cute by her.

The Pichu looked over to Sora and went over to him. Kairi giggled as she wiped off some sweat.

"Pichu?" The two Pichu questioned.

"He's not doing so good today. He's just resting right now," Kairi said. Sora opned his eyes and saw them. "Sleep okay?"

"I must be going crazy with fever or I'm seeing double," Sora said feverish. Kairi giggled.

"You really are seeing double, and they're real," Kairi said. Sora smiled.

"It must be if an angel is looking at me," Sora said. Kairi smiled and gently placed her forehead against his. Pikachu, Togepi, and the other Pokémon smiled warmly along with the Alolan boys. The Pichu looked at them confused. Miltank came back with the bucket of water.

"Welcome back, Miltank. But where's Raichu?" Kairi asked.

"With us," Mina said. Kairi and the boys saw the girl and Raichu come back. Hapu took out the medicine.

"And more," Hapu said.

The girls shared their story about the Wobbufett village and the festival held there. She was surprised to hear about the Wynaut and Wobbufett being attacked just for fun. What got her even more surprised is that her Raichu being chased by a Feraligatr. They even told her that Feraligatr took on three Fighting Type Pokémon and literally chased them out of town. Kiawe was disgusted by the idea someone raising Pokémon just by terroizing towns and villages.

"I can't believe those guys. We should find them and teach them a lesson," Kiawe said.

"We should let them go. They deserve whatever that Feraligatr can throw at them," Lillie said.

"Especially after what they done," Hapu said.

The punks and their Pokémon kept running for their lives from the angry Pokémon until a Magnezone came and scare Feraligatr away with some flashes.

"Thanks for that," the punk with the cyan hair said. He turns and winced when he saw Looker behind them. He held out his badge.

"Just doing my job," Looker said putting his badge away. "And the best part is coming." The punks and their Pokémon quickly got surrounded by the international police and their Pokémon. "You three are under arrest for property destruction in both Kanto and Johto." A Machamp takes Machoke while Alakazam takes Primeape and Hitmonlee.

The cops cuffed the punks and hurled them in the back of the truck.

Back to the group, Kairi gave Sora some of the medicine let Sora sleep. The Alolan nine joined in the festivities. They knew Sora would enjoy it since it wasn't the same without him. Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, and the Pichu stayed behind taking care of Sora. The Alolan nine came back and saw them all asleep. They quietly went to their sleeping bags and drifted off to sleep.

Sora woke up with a pretty big yawn. Kairi woke up and she smiled her boyfriend looked better.

"Morning, sleepy head. Sleep okay?" Kairi asked.

"I did, thanks to you," Sora said. Kairi placed her hand on his forehead.

"You feel fine," Kairi said. "That medicine did the trick."

"Yeah. But you did the real work," Sora said smiling. "You took care of me and you did a very good job at it." Kairi smiled and wrapped her arms around him and giggled.

"Like I told you. It's because I love you," Kairi said. "I was happy to take care of you."

Sora and Kairi gave each other a passionate kiss on the lips. Pikachu, Togepi, the Pichu, and the Alolan nine woke up just in time for them to part lips.

"No matter how many times I see it, I always feel warm seeing them together."- Pikachu subtitle. Togepi went up to Kairi. She picked him up. Sora looked at the two Pichu.

"Well, it looks like they'll be with us just as Illima said," Sora said.

"Chu," Pikachu nodded.

"Well, if they'll be your little brothers, that means they'll be your responsibility from now on. So, don't wrestle around with them," Sora said.

Pikachu accepted the role of big brother and he knew it wasn't going to be easy. But, the times looking after Togepi was no walk in the park either. But he made it work.

The group continued on with two new additions to the bunch. The group had finally made it to Ecruteak City and Sora's fourth Gym Battle was closer than ever. Will Sora win his fourth Johto Badge or will he lose epically? Just wait and see.
