"Victor and Gloria were getting lost in the fog when they met Dianelle and her Togepi, both the Princesses of a faraway kingdom. But their blossoming friendship is ruined when the evil Baron Duke attacks with a mysterious new Pokémon and steals away Togepi."
"Saving Princess Togepi"
Dianelle drops to her knees, with tears forming in her eyes, "Togepi…"
"Everything's gonna be alright, Dianelle," Victor says, as he and Gloria approach her.
"Victor's right, we'll find Togepi," Gloria adds.
"I hope you're right, but…" Dianelle brushes the tears out of her eyes, as she looks over to her friends. "I never knew Baron Duke has such a powerful Pokémon.
Victor crosses his arms, "Yeah, I wonder what type of Pokémon it was?"
Suddenly, Victor's Rotom Phone flies up and floats in front of him, "Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokémon, Once the vines on Zarude's body tear off, they become nutrients in the soil. This helps the plants of the forest grow. It was newly discovered."
Victor takes his Rotom Phone out of the air, "It's newly discovered?
Gloria walks over to him, "How are we supposed to battle a Pokémon we know so little about?"
Elsewhere, deep in the fog, Zarude is holding Togepi with both hands, as Togepi starts to cry.
Duke places down a metal cylinder, "Will you quit with your blubbering. I need to inflate a new balloon to replace the one you destroyed and get us back to my kingdom."
Drapion looks over to Togepi and laughs slightly, "Drap, Drap."
"Toge…" Togepi is tearing up, slightly.
Zarude looks at Togepi, then holds it in one hand, before using its free hand to pick a flower from a nearby brush and hands it to it, "Zaru."
"Toge…" Togepi looks at the flower, before taking it in both hands, and becomes happy. "Toge!"
"Zaru," Zarude smiles.
A Poké Ball is thrown into the air, opens and shoots out red energy, which forms Rookidee, "Dee!"
"Rookidee, see if you can spot Togepi through this fog," Victor says.
"Dee, Dee," Rookidee says before it flies ahead.
Victor looks down to Scorbunny, "Scorbunny, try and clear a path through the fog so we can follow the Baron's trail."
"Scor, Scor," Scorbunny responds, before it shoots out a series of small fireballs, blowing away a small section of the fog, as it leads Victor, Gloria, Sirfetch'd, Sobble, and Dianelle.
"Dianelle, if you don't mind me asking, why is the Baron keep on trying to snatch Togepi if all he wants is the kingdom?" Gloria asks.
"Togepi is the symbol of our entire kingdom, just like its mother before it and its mother before it, and so on..." Dianelle starts. "Also, the kingdom's Togepi has a special power. Whenever Togepi uses Metronome, it always produces an attack that it needs at that particular moment."
Gloria crosses her arms, "Now you mentioned, it used Heal Bell and Defog at the perfect times."
"Not to mention Whirlwind, and Flamethrower before that," Victor adds.
Not too far away, Rookidee is flying over the fog covered treeline, before noticing, through the fog, Zarude holding Togepi, as well as Duke, who nearly finishes inflating a large balloon connected to a large basket, with Drapion standing next to him.
"Dee," Rookidee flies back around.
Rookidee flies through the fog and approaches its Trainer and the others, before starting to hover in front of them, "Dee, Dee!"
"Rookidee, you found Togepi?" Victor asks.
"Dee, Dee," Rookidee nods its head.
"Oh, thank you, so much," Dianelle happily says.
"Quick, Rookidee, leads us to it," Victor instructs.
"Dee," Rookidee nods its head, before flying back around and leads everyone through the fog.
"Finally," Duke throws the cylinder into the basket.
"Baron Duke!" Dianelle yells, as she and the others exit through the fog.
Duke grabs Togepi from Zarude and jumps into the basket, "Zarude, Drapion, take care of them.
"Drap!"
Drapion steps out in front of Zarude, who slowly looks away from Togepi and ahead.
"Sir, Fetch…" Sirfetch'd watches Drapion.
"Drap!" Drapion uncrosses its claws, pushing Sirfetch'd back. "Drap!" Drapion's claw is glowing purple and slams Sirfetch'd with it, as purple globs shoot out of the claw.
Sirfetch'd slammed hard onto the ground, "Sir… fetch…"
"Drap!"
Drapion punches forward with its arm, slamming against Sirfetch'd and sends it flying back, "Sir, fetch!"
"Sir, Fetch!" Sirfetch'd swings its leek to the side.
"Drap!" Drapion rushes and punches forward.
"Not this time, Sirfetch'd, block with Iron Defense!" Gloria calls out.
"Sir, Fetch!" Sirfetch'd crosses its leek and shield, as its body turns to iron, as Drapion's punches it.
"Now, jump back!" Gloria instructs.
"Sir, fetch," Sirfetch'd returns to normal, as it jumps backward.
"Scorbunny, use Ember!" Victor calls out.
"And Sobble, jump high and use Pound!" Gloria instructs.
"Scor!" Scorbunny starts shooting a series of small fireballs, as Sobble jumps past it.
"Zaru!" Zarude crosses its arms, as the fireballs hit it.
"Sobbl," Sobble brings down its hands on Zarude's attack.
"Zaru!" Zarude throws back its arms and raises its head as it screams and throws off Sobble.
"Rookidee, quick, pop the balloon with Peck!" Victor instructs.
"Dee!" Rookidee flies past its Trainer and towards the balloon.
"Zaru," Zarude looks up to see Rookidee flies over it. "Zaru."
Zarude stops up toward it.
"Dee, Dee!" Rookidee manages to fly around the airborne Zarude.
"Zaru!" Zarude spins around in midair, as vine-like whips shoot out of its right arm, which grabs around Rookidee, before slamming it onto the ground.
"Dee!"
Zarude lands several feet away, before seeing Rookidee, who is having trouble getting up, and appeared shocked, "Zaru…"
"Rookidee!" Victor calls out, before he looks to the side. "Scorbunny, Double Kick!"
"Scor!" Scorbunny jumps ahead, bounces off a tree, and turns around, trying to launch a kick, but ends up spinning around accidentally and slams into Zarude's chest.
"Zaru?"
"Zarude, stop wasting time," Duke says,as the balloon starts to lift off.
Dianelle takes a step toward the balloon, "Baron Duke, stop. You can't get away with Togepi!"
"There's nothing you can say will stop me now," Duke starts. "Now that I have Togepi, and you away from the throne, it will be very easy for me to claim what's rightfully my."
"The throne will never be yours," Dianelle holds up two Poké Balls, before throwing them. "Go, Togetic! Togekiss!"
Both Poké Balls open and shoot out red energy, which forms Togetic and Togekiss.
Victor's Rotom Phone flies up, "Togetic, the Happiness Pokémon, It grows dispirited if it is not with kind people. It can float in midair without moving its wings."
Gloria's Rotom Phone flies up, "Togekiss, the Jubilee Pokémon, Known as a bringer of blessings, it's been depicted on good-luck charms since ancient times."
"To-tic!"
"To-kis!"
Togetic and Togekiss fly up toward the balloon, and start to circle around Duke, with Togetic trying to pull Togepi from Duke.
"Toge! Toge!"
"Quiet!" Duke pulls Togepi free from Togetic. "Drapion! Zarude! Get up here and help me!"
"Zaru…" Zarude looks up at the balloon, with small sweats running down its head.
Scorbunny and Sobble look up at Zarude, before looking at each other.
"Drap!" Drapion jumps up, grabs onto the basket, causing it to shake a bit, before swinging its arm, forcing Togetic and Togekiss to scatter.
"To-tic!"
"To-kis!"
"I have enough! Sirfetch'd, Rock Smash!" Gloria calls out.
"Sir, Fetch!" Sirfetch'd jumps high up, slightly above Drapion. "Sir, Fetch!"
Sirfetch'd brings down its leek, slamming Drapion's claw, knocking it off the basket, and breaking off a small part of it.
"Drap!"
"Now, Fury Cutter!"
"Sir, Fetch!" Farfetch'd strikes forward with its leek, several times, striking Drapion with each attack. "Sir… Fetch!"
Sirfetch'd's leek glows slightly, before delivering one more strike, slamming Drapion hard and fast into the ground.
"Drap…" Drapion lays on the ground, with its eyes whirling, before turning into red energy and flies up into a Poké Ball held by Duke.
"Pathetic little…" Duke says, before looking down. "Zarude, hurry up and waste them, so we can get going."
"Toge, Toge…" Togepi's arms start to wave back and forth, with them glowing.
"Stop that!" Duke grabs Togepi's arms.
"Toge!"
"Zaru…" Zarude looks over to see Rookidee having trouble getting up, as Scorbunny and Sobble walk over to it.
"Toge!"
Zarude looks up to see Togepi starts crying as Duke holds its arms. An angry expression starts to form on Zarude's face, before it jumps up and lands on the side of the basket.
"Togepi!" Dianelle calls out.
"Zaru," Zarude reaches out, before grabbing Duke's wrist.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Duke calls out, as Zarude pulls Duke's arm away from Togepi.
"Toge, Toge, Pi!" Togepi waves its arms a couple more times, before stopping.
Suddenly a large explosion erupts around the balloon and basket.
Falling from the explosion, Duke, with some damaged clothings, falls into a brush. He moans slightly.
At the same time, Zarude lands on the ground, covered in scratches, holding Togepi, as the others are gathering around them.
"Toge…" Togepi is covered in scratches.
"Togepi…" Dianelle says.
"To-tic..."
"To-kis…"
"Zaru…" Zarude closes its eyes, before placing its free hand on the ground and holds its head up. "Zaru!"
Green energy spreads out from Zarude.
"Dee… Dee," Rookidee slowly pushes itself up, before happily hops up, with Scorbunny and Sobble smiling.
"Toge… Toge!" Togepi happily says, as its scratches disappear.
"Oh, Togepi, you're okay," Dianelle grabs Togepi and holds it closely.
"Toge!"
Zarude watches the two, happily.
Shortly later, Duke is in cuffs, with a rope connected to it being held by Togetic, who is floating next to Togekiss. Standing in front of them is Dianelle, who is holding Togepi and facing Victor, Gloria, Scorbunny, Sobble, Rookidee, and Sirfetch'd.
"Thank you again for all your help," Dianelle says.
"It was our pleasure," Victor says.
"So what're you gonna do now?" Gloria asks.
"We're gonna bring Baron Duke back to our kingdom, so he can face justice for his crimes," Dianelle answers.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi waves its arms.
Dianelle looks ahead to see Zarude is in the distance, watching from behind a tree.
Dianelle approaches Zarude, "Zarude, and thank you again for all of your help."
"Zaru…"
"In fact, I have a present for you…"
Shortly later, Zarude is wearing a pink cloth around its neck, "Zaru…"
"Another thing," Dianelle says.
"Zaru?"
"I'm offering you the title of Baron of our kingdom, as well as asking you to come back with us," Dianelle continues. "So, do you accept?"
"Toge!" Togepi happily waves its arms.
"Zaru, Zaru," Zarude happily responds.
"Gag me," Duke says, before Togetic pulls on the rope slightly.
"So are you gonna be okay?" Gloria asks.
"We'll be fine here on out," Dianelle says. "But we do have to go, now."
"Take care," Victor says.
"Scor!"
"Sobbl!"
"Dee!"
"Sir, Fetch," Sirfetch'd holds up its leek.
"To-tic."
"To-kis."
"Zaru."
"Toge!" Togepi waves its arms.
"You all take care, too," Dianelle says, as she waves.
Dianelle, her Pokémon, Zarude, and the cuffed Duke start to walk through the fog, as Victor, Gloria, and their Pokémon wave.
A few seconds after the group disappeared through the fog, the fog started to clear completely.
"What a minute…" Gloria starts, before noticing there's no sight of anyone else in the distance. "Where have they gone?"
The Pokémon start to look around.
"I don't know…" Victor wonders. "I… I wonder if we ever see them again."
Victor, Gloria, and their Pokémon continue to look around.
"Victor and Gloria managed to help their new friends, saving an entire kingdom in the process. Now they are ready to return onward to Hammerlocke, but what could be next for our heroes?"
"Find out, as the journey continues…"
