A looming shadow flew into Littleroot Town. A shout was heard. "We're comin' in for a landing, Silver!" Silver rolled his eyes. "You know, I can see too." "I'm up on Dragonite's head just like you," Pink smirked at him. "Well, okay then." Dragonite flapped her wings in preparation for landing. A thump was heard as Dragonite landed. Silver and Pink jumped off. A woman walked outside, presumably startled by the noise. "Oh, travelers!" Silver groaned internally and looked away. The woman persisted, however. "Could you do me a favor?" Pink looked down at Finn. "Um, sure?'' Pink ignored Silver giving her the 'we don't have time for that' look. "What do you need help with?" "My son ran away from home." "He has ruby eyes, and-"

Silver glanced at Pink. "So now, on top of saving this region from being flooded and/or dried up, we have to look for a Trainer?" Pink nodded sarcastically. "Aw, come on, Silver." "What would I say to her?" He looked back at her blatantly. "You could have told her no." Finn made a face back at him. "Well, I told her yes." "Besides, there's something we have to settle." Silver pat Finn on the head. "And what's that?" Pink picked up Finn from the bench. "So there are two teams, and we're each going to one, right?" Silver nodded. "Yeah." "Who's going where?" Silver smiled. "Well, where do you want to go?" "Well, I think you should go to Aqua." "And, why's that?" Silver asked. Pink cracked a smirk. "Well, I think you'd look cute in blue." Silver rolled his eyes. "Seriously?" Pink gave him a peck on the cheek. "It was a joke, Silver." "Chill." Silver changed the subject. "I'm going to Magma, just for that." "Well, good, 'cause I wanted to go to Aqua." Pink twisted Finn's head fur.

Dragonite flew low around rocks on the shoreline, before landing in front of a door. The door had the Aqua logo on it. "Alright, Finn, Dragonite, you ready?" Her Pokemon responded with affirming cries. "And remember, guys, we're on a mission." They both nodded. Pink knocked on the door. Footsteps were heard inside before the door opened for Pink to see an annoyed-looking woman. "What are you doing here?" the lady groaned. "Uh, I came to join..." The woman's face brightened up. "Well, in that case, come on in." The massive door closed behind them. "I'm Shelly, one of the Admins." "And you are-.." Pink smiled. "I'm Pink, and these are my partners, Finn and Dragonite." Shelly raised a brow. "Your ace is an Eevee?" "Doesn't he want to evolve?" Finn scrunched up his face. "He likes to stay the way he is." A man wearing a small anchor with a stone embedded in it walked in. He turned to look at Pink. "And who's this lass, Shelly?" "This is Pink, and she wants to join." "Who's she goin' to battle then?" Pink looked up, slightly confused. "I have to battle someone?" He nodded. "Yep, to join ya' 'ave to prove your worth against one of our Admins!" Pink smiled at Finn, who nodded in understanding. ''Alright then, who am I going to battle?" "Ya' can battle Shelly since she's right 'ere!" Pink pulled her glove up. "Okay!" "Finn, I choose you!" Finn jumped from Pink's arm to the floor. Shelly smirked. "Sharpedo!" A shark-resemblant Pokemon popped out, roaring. "Sharpedo, use Crunch!" The Pokemon darted in, biting Finn. Finn was knocked back, but showed no signs of severe injury. Pink mumbled to herself. "So if Sharpedo needs to do melee combat for biting attacks-" "Finn, Sappy Seed!" A barrage of small seeds spewed from Finn's mouth, binding Sharpedo. "Perfect!" Shelly was floored. "What in the-" "Finn, Sparkly Swirl!" A small tornado of energy was sent hurling at Sharpedo. When the smoke cleared, Sharpedo was unconscious. Finn leaped back up onto Pink's arm. "Great job, Finn!" "Eee-bui!" "The man from before seemed impressed. "Hm!" "No Grunt's ever beaten one of my Admins before!" Pink smiled. "Thank you." "I'm Archie, the leader of Team Aqua!" "And you're Pink, correct?" She nodded. "Here's your uniform!" Archie handed Pink a blue and white striped top and a pair of shorts, along with blue and white striped stockings. He also handed her a blue bandana with the Aqua insignia on it.

At the same time, at Team Magma's base...
"Sneasel, Foul Play!" Energy imbued with dark thoughts surrounded a Trainer's Camerupt. The fiery camel Pokemon was slammed to the ground. Sneasel ran back to Silver, who gave him a Max Potion. "You did great, Sneasel." The opposing Trainer scowled slightly. "...Heh." "Good job there." A man with red hair similar to Silver's and glasses with a stone embedded in them walked over. "It's- Silver, am I correct?" Silver nodded. "Your strategy was impressive." "Thank you." "Here's a uniform." The man handed Silver a red shirt with a hood, some red shorts, and a pair of boots.
