They soon went to the next spot, back on dry land.
"So, you guys are part mermaid and you're part alien...?" Creepie asked Akito, Estelle, and Ethan. "Well, I guess it isn't the strangest family thing I've heard about. My family's pretty different too."
"I'm sure they must be unique if you are." Estelle said.
"Well... It's easier if I showed you my family rather than tell you..." Creepie replied. "Zofia, wanna come over and hang out?"
"I'd love it!" Zofia beamed as she made a new friend and was invited over to her house.
"Way past cool!" Ethan replied.
Zofia hugged Creepie.
"Ooh, you're a hugger..." Creepie said. "Mm... That's okay."
"Sorry, I'm just so excited to have a new friend." Zofia smiled.
"Likewise!" Ethan agreed.
"Ah, good timing, sorcerers." Merlin said as they soon arrived.
"Uh, you got something on your head there, Merlin." Creepie pointed out.
The something soon sat up, revealing to be Meeko the Raccoon.
"Get off there, you wacky raccoon!" LJ yelled.
Merlin yelped and stumbled as Meeko soon got off of the wizard and scampered off. "It looks as if I'll be delayed dealing with Hades' magic here on the river," he then told them. "If you noticed, this land is in great peril. Pocahontas will fill you in on the details for me. Good luck!"
"Pocahontas?" Creepie commented. "I did a history report on her, never thought I'd actually meet her."
"First time for everything!" LJ remarked.
"I'll say." Creepie agreed.
They soon saw the famed Indian princess.
"Once again, my dreams have shows men coming to our shores bringing destruction to our land," Pocahontas's voice told them. "Something's telling me that you are the one who will stop them. These men return from across the water. The one who led them brought trouble to my people once before."
"Governor Radcliffe." Akito and Estelle glared in memory from the stories they were told about Pocahontas from their parents and aunt.
"I'm guessing that dude is bad news?" LJ asked.
"Oh, yeah..." Estelle nodded.
They soon saw Hades on a boat with the bad man.
"Radcliffe. Name is Indigo, Lord of the East Underworld Trading Company," Hades said to the man who tried to invade Pocahontas's land. "Hey, how you doing? You seem hungry for a little adventure! Badabing, badaboom. So, hear me out. I'm thinking of using my influence to grant your freedom, then in exchange you dig up a certain 'treasure' for me. Interested?"
Of course, Radcliffe accepted the offer which seemed impossible to refuse. "We will lay waste to this new land, until it gives up it's riches," he then told a group of men he had rounded up to get what he wanted after making a deal with Hades. "Not gold, but something even more valuable: a crystal!"
"Figures. Radcliffe was always in it for the money." Akito remarked.
"Not to mention that time he had Pocahontas and Aunt Cherry locked up when they came to meet The King and Queen with John Rolfe." Estelle added.
"Either way, we have to stop him." Creepie glared about Governor Radcliffe.
"Please. Will you help us stop them?" Pocahontas hoped.
"Then you can count on us!" LJ nodded. "We're gonna kick their butts!"
"I knew I could count on you," Pocahontas said. "Thank you so much."
"These are desperate times, everyone. You must prevent Radcliffe from destroying the land and its forests in his search for part of the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom!" Merlin told the group. "Go to this location and use your Sorcerer's Key. Pocahontas will speak with you and serve as your guide."
"Well, alrighty then!" Ethan remarked. "Let's go-man-go!"
They then wandered off to the next spot. Meeko and a Pyroar seemed to follow after them.
"There's something strange about these men," Pocahontas warned them on the way. "They are not like the other soldiers."
"How so?" asked LJ. "Anything in particular?"
"I can feel something deep within myself telling me," Pocahontas replied. "I'm not sure what it is, but it almost feels as though they aren't quite human."
"Good enough for ME!" LJ remarked.
"Ah... An adventure team..." The soldier smirked once he saw them.
"So, it seems like things aren't exactly what they appear." Akito said, though this soldier seemed human so far.
"I'd say it's nice to meet you, but it clearly is not if you're going to be friends with a savage woman." The soldier smirked.
"The only savage around here is YOU!" Ethan spat angrily.
"Okay, it's magic time!" The soldier laughed, playing his drum as that somehow attacked them.
"I play...ASTRO BLASTER!" LJ exclaimed, pulling out another card.
The soldier continued to play his drum until that hit him suddenly. The drum soon squashed the solider from the Astro Blaster and he stumbled around before running into the wall, and seemed to become two figures who were in fact not human like Pocahontas had said.
"It's Pain and Panic!" Akito gasped before glaring.
"Then let's bring down the hammer!" LJ replied. "I cast: NEVERLAND ASSAULT!"
"Neverland Assault... Hmm... Good one." Akito smiled.
Pain and Panic soon tried to run away, though Panic tripped, getting his horns stuck onto Pain's butt again.
"These guys make Buzz and Delete look intelligent!" LJ remarked.
"Bye-Bye, bad guys," Akito told Pain and Panic before smirking. "Unless you wanna meet the son of Atticus who inherited his strength."
"Atticus's son?!" Pain and Panic yelped.
"Yeah, our uncle!" LJ replied. "So get lost, unless you wanna deal with US!"
Pain and Panic cried out and soon dashed off out of fear.
Akito nodded firmly to that before smiling to the others. "Nice move out there, LJ."
"Hey, thanks," LJ beamed. "Coming from you, that means a lot."
"You fight bravely, my friends friends. Still, many men have already reached the frontier," Pocahontas said. "Unless you can stop them, I fear they will cause much destruction."
"Don't worry, Pocahontas, we got this." Zofia promised.
"Yeah! We're gonna take them down!" Ethan added.
"We'll paint with all the colors of the wind." Estelle said.
The others looked at her from that.
"I'm sorry," Estelle smiled. "I just love that song."
"Sure, whatever," LJ remarked. "Let's go!"
They then moved out onto what looked like a campground.
"The invaders have camped in the Great Forest," Pocahontas warned the others. "Their strange weapons are the source of their strength."
"Secure the ammunition. We level the area at daybreak. I don't care if it drives every living thing into the sea," Governor Radcliffe commanded his men. "I will have that Crystal! Or they'll have my head," he then broke down in despair. "Oh, what am I to do? Lord Indigo haven't even told me what the Crystal looks like, and, that soldier he sent to help me still hasn't arrived."
"Now, I wonder how that could've happened?" Zofia smirked to herself.
"Aye, it's a real mystery." Ethan nodded.
"What do we do though?" Creepie asked.
Radcliffe muttered to himself as he hid away in the tent.
"You must destroy their weapons," Pocahontas told the others. "It is the only way."
"Right you are, Pocahontas. There's no time to spare," Merlin added in agreement. "Use the Sorcerer's Crest, that's the symbol found on the back of your Spell Cards."
The kids held up their cards. "SORCERER'S CREST!" they shouted.
"That feels so cool." Akito chuckled to himself.
"It really does." Zofia smiled in agreement.
The tent was soon destroyed with a hole in the ground as Radcliffe was shown to be shaving himself. The kids looked to each other before laughing at the sight of that.
"Wotta mook! Wotta maroon!" LJ snickered.
"You did it! But, that spirit in those flames was strange and angry," Pocahontas told the others. "I had not seen anything like it. I fear the fire was a sign. Follow your path to this place and find the one brought it to this land."
"You betcha!" The kids replied.
"All right, the last stop until we get rid of Radcliffe." Creepie told the others.
"Okay, then." Estelle replied.
"Hey, where'd Meeko and Pyroar go?" Akito asked.
"Good question," LJ agreed. "Let's see if we can get an answer."
They soon rushed along before finding Pocahontas.
"Oh, this is terrible," Pocahontas frowned to them. "The invader has taken Meeko and Pyroar. He wants to force me to help him find his treasure. His 'Crystal'. You're the only ones who can stop him!"
"Already on it, Pocahontas." Akito glared out of determination.
"Let's do it to it!" Zofia remarked.
"I'm sorry, my furry friends, but it appears that Pocahontas isn't coming for you after all," Governor Radcliffe grinned as he carried Meeko and Pyroar in a bag. "But, there may still be hope for you yet as a skyfish for cap."
The others soon rushed over with a glare.
"Good Heavens!" Governor Radcliffe gasped at first before taking out an ax and chopping at the rope which sent a barrel of powder right in their faces.
"I cast: ROAR OF THE ELDERS!" LJ exclaimed, holding up a special card.
"Ooh..." Akito and Estelle's eyes widened.
"Good one." Akito said separately.
"Whoa!" Governor Radcliffe yelped as he fell on deck from the roar before glaring as he stood back up. "Stand down, or so help me, I'll drop these rodents into the river!"
"No, you won't!" Ethan remarked as he snagged the bag.
Meeko and Pyroar soon came out from the corner.
"You guys got out of the bag!" Estelle smiled.
Meeko and Pyroar smiled back to them before speaking.
"Finish the job... Oh, you so got it," Akito smirked. "Say, Pyroar, any chance you know, oh, I dunno, Fire Spin?"
Pyroar seemed to nod and soon used that fire attack on Governor Radcliffe for kidnapping him and Meeko.
"Too hot to handle!" LJ exclaimed.
Governor Radcliffe soon saw the Pokemon and raccoon before emptying the bag he had to show that it was corn on the cob. Pyroar soon scorched more of the corn, turning it into popcorn.
"Anyone for popcorn on the cob?" asked Creepie.
"Oh, I know I am, and we're not even at the movies!" Akito beamed as he dug right in.
"You have not heard the last of Rad-" Governor Radcliffe glared until he was suddenly thrown overboard by the others, defeating him right away. "Radcliffe!"
"You are the protectors of the frontier, we are all very grateful to you." Pocahontas smiled to the others.
"Aw, shucks!" LJ smirked.
Suddenly, the two imps soon appeared.
"That didn't go so well, did it?" Panic smiled nervously.
"You want the truth, or, like, what I think we should tell Hades?" Pain shivered fearfully.
"Tell him we're coming." Ethan snapped, crumpling the both of them into a ball.
Pain and Panic muffled and looked scared to death.
"Have fun with Hades now." Akito told the two imps.
Ethan wound up and threw them both away.
"Wonderful job, everyone!" Merlin smiled, but of course, had other news to come with that sentiment. "Unfortunately, Hades is recruiting villains. We can certainly use more help if you're willing."
"He just won't quit, will he?" Creepie grumbled.
"Well, evil villains are harder to squash than cockroaches," LJ replied. "So let's keep stomping."
"Come on then, let's just hope it ends soon," Creepie replied. "And take it easy with that cockroach metaphor."
"Right, Creepie." Zofia agreed with her new friend.
While they wandered off, Cherry and Lionel were bonding with Celestia and Sombra. Or, at least trying to, especially in Lionel's case for bonding with Sombra, especially for the trouble he caused in the past on certain adventures.
"So...how have things been for you lately?" Lionel asked.
"It's been very nice," Sombra smiled. "Seems like only yesterday you all would occasionally visit Equestria."
"Well, we couldn't miss school," Cherry said. "I swear, one time Drell blew up the school for one of our more serious missions later on in Equestria."
"Ah, yes...the Shadow Play story," Lionel replied. "That was insane."
"We learned a lot about Patrick." Cherry said.
"Luna and I were just fillies when we met Patrick before Star Swirl became our teacher." Celestia smiled.
Cherry sipped her water as they waited for the kids to finish up their adventure which seemed to last longer than anyone thought.
"Okay..." Lionel replied, glancing around.
"...This is nice..." Cherry blinked.
Sombra chuckled while Cherry scooted away from him. Even though Sombra was reformed now, she still sometimes felt uneasy around him.
