Chapter 27

Author Notes: Ok, deep breath, we've reached riddle two, there is progress, we're getting there slowly but surely. Maybe someday this series will finish, but hey now we get to see what Frisk does now that she has a new buddy, and a new riddle.

Before we start though, it's shout out time! Guys the supports been awesome. Time to start off...souleaterlover99, FaberryXD, Horus115 thank you for faving and following! StoryBrookFields95 and RadicalReader261 thank you for following~ I do not own Pokemon and Undertale.

3rd P.O.V

"So it WAS Robin." Frisk was humming to herself as she sat outside enjoying the cool air and falling snow. Rereading the riddle over and over again, feeling conflicted at the news.

She really wasn't sure if she was prepared for such a task. Sure all of her pokemon have been training with her and getting stronger but she knew it would be tough. Frisk really would've preferred to get some more battling experience before trying to find and battle Robin.

Although Asriel and Toriel seemed to disagree, feeling she was more than ready. "What do you think I should do Eve?" Her partner scratches her ear, trying to get an itch before taking the riddle in her mouth. "Eve..." The little fox pokemon growls and feints a tackle, making her trainer giggle.

"I take it you wanna give it a shot?" Huffing in affirmation, Eve gives the piece of paper back. "Even if you don't win, there's nothing stopping you from trying again kid." Looking over her shoulder, she finds Sans, hands in pockets.

She really needed to figure out how he constantly appeared out of nowhere. "I can?" Sans chuckles at her innocent, confused expression. "Yeah. Once you figure out the riddle, you can try as many times as you like. Well you know, so long as the gym leader isn't busy. They got lives too you know."

It made sense. And happily for her she stopped getting so startled with Sans practically popping out of nowhere. Still she wondered how he was always able to show up without making a sound.

"Now the reason I'm here. I'm supposed to let you know that the Ice Chasms are officially reopened thanks to you and MK. Currently Paps and a few other people are spreading word." It was great news! "That's awesome, is MK still grounded though?"

Sans could only muster a grimace, providing the answer Frisk needed. "But why? If not for him we wouldn't have found and calmed Pikaboo down." She could only pout at the older man, finding it all unfair.

For two months her friend would be stuck at home, unable to continue on his adventure. Though Sans felt bad for the kid, he knew MK was if nothing else impulsive, which gets him into trouble way too often. It didn't help that Toriel was absolutely livid when she went to talk to his parents.

"Look kid, he broke some major rules. He knew it wasn't safe. And on top of that he was willing to put you in danger. It's his parent's call. But hey, at least they didn't ban him from doing his journey entirely. They could've, especially after that 'Team Gold Digger' fiasco." She winced at San's words.

With all the commotion, she kinda forgot about the pokemon center attack. Though she wasn't feeling good at the time, she could see why people weren't all that eager to venture forth. Actually she was amazed Toriel hadn't asked her to stop her traveling.

It was kinda weird, though unlike MK, Frisk was traveling with more experienced trainers, so she could see why it wasn't too big a deal. "Well I'll be seeing ya kiddo. I'm off to take a nap~" Waving goodbye, the young trainer is once more on her own.

Knowing that she could keep trying should she lose made her feel a bit better. Sure losing feels terrible, but like what Asriel said it's all a learning experience. "Let's go find Robin Eve!" Yipping the eevee leaps onto her shoulder.

"Ok. I can do this. We can do this." Giving herself a little pep talk she starts walking. She knew Robin was the gym leader, and she vaguely remembers where she met him. So she could only hope he would accept her challenge.

So off she went, trying to retrace her steps. Going past the bridge, following the river, with her waving at the people walking about in the cold snowy terrain. Luckily for her there wasn't much backtracking, especially since all the craters from the minior madness she dealt with a few days ago made a good trail.

"Hey hey-wanna hear a joke?" Pausing she finds a little area where a teen stood. In front of him were a couple wooden crates. With a grin he calls Frisk over, excited to see a new face. "Who are you?" He bows towards her. "Names Drake, Snow or shine I come with jokes and puns at any time."

Out of nowhere two pokeballs appear in his hands, releasing two different creatures. Quickly Frisk brings forth her pokedex that Papyrus had thankfully remembered to give her after their Ice Chasms rescue(not that it was much of a rescue but she appreciated the thought.)

Spheal the Clap pokemon. These pokemon travel through arctic environments by rolling around in groups. Due to their fluffy fur they are able to survive cold temperatures. These pokemon tend to clap to express their joy.

Delibird the delivery pokemon. Flying pokemon aren't usually found in the Underground, but delibird, being a penguin prefers walking or swimming instead of flying. Often times these pokemon help people stranded in snow storms, offering presents and food. Be warned as some more mischievous delibirds won't be nice with their presents.

Both pokemon clap at the young trainer as she puts away her pokedex. "Now miss are you ready for the show? Come take a seat!" Giggling she and Eve take a seat on one of the crates.

"Alrighty then, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day for this little show. Now little lady- I'm going to ask you some jokes, and if you know any of the answers my buddy delibird here will give you a prize. First one...what does a snover eat for lunch?" He was just starting to warm up.

Frisk scrunches up her face a bit thinking long and hard. She couldn't think of what a snover was, she just couldn't remember if it was one of the pokemon her mom was teaching her about. "I don't know. What?" Drake waits a moment, smiling before fluttering his hands. "Ice-bergers with Chill-y-sauce~"

His pokemon clap in unison with our ten year old heroine. She was never good at telling jokes, but she could enjoy a good laugh. "Clever!" Frisk really was good for Drakes self-esteem. It's been a long time since he's met someone who genuinely liked his jokes.

"Ok now that our snover buddy is full, what do you call an attack in the snow with a bat pokemon?" Again, the boy gives her a chance to think about an answer, only for her to shake her head. "Not sure..." Mentally Drake winces, he didn't say that joke right.

He was glad his dad wasn't here. The last thing he needed was a him berating him on his lackluster presentation. Hopefully he could still make this work and his audience member would like it. "Frostbite~"

Much to his delight Frisk had an open sense of humor, even if it sounded confusing. "Now our poor snover friend is hurt and sad. How do you think he reacted to it?" Humming to herself, thinking how this could have some sort of pun. Once more however she had nothing.

"The poor pokemon had a Meltdown!" It seemed so obvious hearing his answers, she practically facepalmed to herself while laughing. "Lastly because he was sad, the snover decided to make himself feel better so he throws a party. What is it called?" Frisk was so excited, she actually knew the answer to this one.

She actually remembered a book she read up on the surface that used a joke very similar to this one. "Ooh ooh he had a Snow-ball!" Drake chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Ding ding ding correct!"

Delibird, happily waddles over to her, handing her a present. "Thank you." Drake was grateful truly. "See dad. I told you I could make it as a comedian. Ahem, well little trainer, thanks for staying for my jokes. That's all the material I have for now." It was a nice quick sidetrack.

Maybe she'd be able to bring her mom and Sans next time. Knowing them, they'd get a kick out of it. All else fails, Frisk would get a laugh should Sans ever use the new material on Papyrus.

And she even got a present for it. It was professionally wrapped, as if from Santa. As eager as she was to open it, she wanted to wait on it. She could always open it when she heads back to Sans and Papyrus's house.

"Let's see, if I remember correctly it should be right around...!" Much to the young trainer's dismay, despite being able to make her way back to Robin's stand, the nice blue haired man was nowhere to be seen. "Oh...hi. What are you doing here Frisk?"

His little set up was left be, with a sitting Napstablook in front of it. "Hi Napstablook! Are you here to challenge Robin too?" He gives a solemn nod. "Yeah, with the Ice Chasms closed I thought I'd do some fishing, and then I wait for Mr. Robin. But...no luck. Maybe i'm annoying him waiting here."

Frisk frowned at him, he looked so sad, and cold for that matter. "The Ice Chasms are opened now Napstablook. I was told that people are allowed to enter again. Though I think Robin is busy since people are still trying to fix up the pokemon center." For a moment he perks up at the news.

"That's good. I'm sorry for bothering you. About this I mean." He immediately sees Frisk shake her head in denial. "No not at all. Actually I was wondering, would you like to battle me? I made some new friends, but I'm nervous about this gym battle. Plus I want to see how you've been doing! Do you want to?"

Humming he stands up. Brushing off the snow from his clothes. "Um well sure. I don't mind, sorry. Give me a second." He was covered fully from head to toe, he must've been waiting there awhile. Meeting her gaze, he takes out a pokeball. "Ok, I'm ready." With a smile, Frisk follows suit. "Let's go!"
