Chapter 5 - The Harmony Scarves - The Third Time Gear
Link, Zelda, and Scor arrived at Lawz Refrrie Beach on Akala Island. Scorbunny received looks of confusion from Link, Zelda, and other Pokémon around them when he suddenly started digging in the sand. "You never know what someone might decide to bury on a beach." he said.
After digging several holes, Scor found a pair of blue scarves with green stripes. After he had found them, he screamed "OH MY ARCEUS! IT'S THE HARMONY SCARVES!" at the top of his lungs before throwing the scarves at Link and Zelda.
Link and Zelda caught them and asked Scorbunny what they were. "I can't remember. I'm not even sure if I ever knew. But I know they're important. I think."
A Pyukumuku overheard this and didn't want to leave Link and Zelda without an explanation. "The Harmony Scarves were created by the mythical Pokémon Mew. They were made from material of the Tree of Life as a countermeasure to the powers of Dark Matter, and wearers are granted its power when close to the Tree of Life."
"Thank you." Link said.
"Isn't that basically the same thing I said?" asked Scor.
Link and Zelda tied the Harmony Scarves around their necks, then noticed that the Pyukumuku was still staring at them.
"Do you mind if I ask you a question, little Pokémon?" Zelda asked the Pyukumuku.
"My name is José."
"José, do you know anything about the Time Gears and where they might be?"
"I know all…"
"Ooh! I have an idea!" Scor interrupted. "Let's split up and…"
"YES!" Link and Zelda shouted because Scorbunny's idea meant they could get away from him.
"I call Exeggutor Island!"
Each Pokémon went exploring a different island. Link went to Poni Island, Zelda stayed on Akala Island, and Scor headed for Exeggutor Island. They agreed that they would meet on Mt. Lanakila that night when they were all done searching.
Scor was initially distracted by all the awesome Alolan Exeggutor, getting mesmerized by how tall they were, but he quickly remembered the other reason he was there.
"Gotta look for the Time Stone, I mean Gear. Kevin needs a younger sister."
At the furthest north point of the island, Scor found another Alolan Exeggutor and the stern look on its faces told him he was doing something important.
"Halt! Who goes there?!" said the Exeggutor.
"I am Scorbunny the Scorbunny, or Scor the Scorbunny for short. I am a proud member of The Try Force Guild and I am here on important business work. Are you guarding a Time Gear by any chance?
"Yes."
"My friends need your Time Gear in order to stop someone. You heard of someone named Ganondorf?"
The massive Exeggutor nodded.
"Who hasn't heard of him? He dwells at the top of Mt. Moon, and somehow has amassed an army to do his bidding. He's rumored to be a Tyranitar, a fearsome creature, as you must know. If you and your allies are to stop him, then I suppose you may have my Time Gear."
Exeggutor closed his eyes, held out his hands, and summoned the Alola Time Gear, then handed it to Scor, who showed the new Time Gear to 'Kevin'.
"Kevin, meet your sister, Judith."
Scor glanced up at the Exeggutor.
"Aren't you supposed to be a Ditto?"
The Exeggutor looked confused,
"A Ditto? I have always been here, guarding my Time Gear, since I can remember. Were you told a Ditto guarded my Time Gear?"
"I was. And I still don't believe you."
Exeggutor motioned for Scor to follow him and Scor reluctantly did so.
The Pokémon let him to a lake in the middle of the island, and pointed to a fountain of bright light in the middle of the lake.
"Now do you believe me?"
Scor nodded mutely, too amazed to speak for once.
After staring at the sight before him for a few minutes, taking it all in, Scor bid the Exeggutor well, and headed to Mt. Lanakila, still not convinced that what the Pokémon had told him was true.
That night, on Mt. Lanakila, Scor showed Judith to Link and Zelda. They were glad how quickly they were making progress. The sooner they got this done, the sooner they could go home and would never have to see Scorbunny ever again.
"When this adventure's over, can I live with you guys or is there gonna be an emotional goodbye because I have to stay in this universe since it's where I belong?" Scorbunny asked.
"Nay it!" Link and Zelda thought at the same time.
