Hey! Thanks to everyone for the good reception! I often wonder if I'm doing Tamaki and Haruhi justice as Pokémon trainers, but since there are still readers, I guess I am?

EDIT (11-13-16): Edited for word choice, format, grammar

Previously...

After winning his first badge from the Haninozuka Gym, Tamaki along with Haruhi journeyed north to visit an old abandoned castle in the snowy regions of Ouran before Tamaki's next gym battle! However, while on their way to the castle, Haruhi and Tamaki were separated in a horrible blizzard.

Just when Haruhi was on the brink of passing out, two mysterious twins saved her and brought her to the castle where they found Tamaki. The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, later harassed Tamaki and then kicked Team Zuka out of the castle with their equally mischievous Plusle and Minun.

Route E: Home is Where the Heart is

"Are you leaving yet?"

Haruhi looked away from repacking her backpack and up at the impatient-looking Hikaru looming over her.

"I told you," She began, getting annoyed by the two twins, "we'll be leaving shortly."

Tamaki and Haruhi had stayed overnight with the twins in the castle. The twins wanted to go to their own rooms, as they stayed in the castle often enough to have found favorite quarters.

However, Tamaki, despite his fear of ghost Pokémon, ended up staying in the castle's main living room of sorts, one of the coldest places in the building as it was near the door.

The rich blond had wanted to stay on the exact opposite side of the castle from the twins, but his paralyzing fear had kept him put. So thus, getting annoyed and frequently awoken by Tamaki's whimpers, teeth chattering, and screams, the twins ventured out of their own rooms and Haruhi from hers to console, or in the twins' case, threaten, Tamaki.

"Good." Hikaru said, looking away. "Where's that lord gone to?"

For an unknown reason, Hikaru and Kaoru had taken to calling Tamaki "lord". Haruhi looked around the area along with Kaoru. If they were leaving shortly, then where was Tamaki?

Not that it was extremely necessary or anything, but Haruhi wanted to leave on time, or at least soon. When the four trainers had woken up that morning, the storm had subsided and it was calm and crisp all around. Haruhi would prefer to leave as soon as possible, for as the twins pointed out, mountain weather could vary instantly.

Haruhi and Tamaki had decided to trek over the nearby mountain range and head on over to the Orange City Gym. On the eastern side of Ouran, many supposedly easy gyms awaited the two. It was rumored that the Morinozuka Gym was one of the toughest, so even though it was close, the two would come back later.

"I'm ready, Haruhi!"

Hikaru and Haruhi looked over near the fireplace where they saw Tamaki scurrying out of one of the corridors close by it. He ran up to the two looking refreshed and excited with his bag slung over his shoulder.

"Good. The weather could change at any time now, so we better hurry."

From the castle, the two would head back to the tram station and then past the town that the Haninozuka Gym resided in. According to Tamaki, there was a pass between the mountains a bit eastern from there. Once through the pass, the two would continue toward the Orange City Gym.

Now, there was a sort of pass between the mountains much closer by, however it was also extremely dangerous and notorious for fatal conditions and a never-ending blizzard. Only fools would attempt to cross it. Even Tamaki had bypassed that "option."

"Alright, I'm finished packing too." Haruhi said, sliding her backpack onto her shoulders.

"You guys are leaving? Good luck." Kaoru said walking into the room, sounding amused.

"Thanks." Haruhi said, ignoring the younger twin's tone.

"To the Orange City Gym now right?" Tamaki asked, earning a nod from Haruhi.

"Orange City, huh?" Hikaru asked. "Crazy place." Kaoru nodded in agreement.

"Why?" Haruhi asked.

She had heard about Orange City, that it was a very healthy town and quite active too. It had a few groves and orchards of orange trees near it as well. However... What was so crazy about that? While Haruhi thought this over, the twins were whispering amongst themselves.

Haruhi thought she heard, "Oh, it's that time of year, isn't it?"

The twins looked at her.

"No reason." They said, but the wicked glint in their eyes begged to differ.

"Alright then..." Haruhi said, not believing the twins' statement.

Tamaki and Haruhi walked to the large castle doors with Kaoru and Hikaru following.

"Good luck, Milord." Kaoru said after he and Hikaru had opened one of the doors and their two new friends began their descent down the icy, snowy, barely visible and easily-mistaken-for-a-sloped-hill steps.

Tamaki, still confused as to why the twins called him weird names, turned around with Haruhi to face the twins once more.

"Thank you."He said, confusion and hesitancy evident.

The two then continued down the precarious steps.

"Oh wait!" The two stopped, turned around once more, and saw Hikaru and Kaoru running after them, nearly sliding down the steps. The twins stopped as they reached Tamaki and Haruhi, who were curious as to why the troublemakers had started after them.

Hikaru held out a strange, walkie-talkie like object to Haruhi.

"This is a PokeNav." Hikaru explained as Haruhi took it. "It's like a map. It contains info on cities and stuff." He said as Haruhi looked at it.

"It also contains helpful shop info too." Kaoru expanded.

"You're giving this to me?" Haruhi asked, wondering why and how much it cost.

"Yeah." The two said.

"You two are dead otherwise."Hikaru straight-forwardly said.

"And you're both doomed to be lost too." Kaoru added with the same tone as his brother.

"Um...yeah." Haruhi, annoyed, answered. "But I can't take this." She added. "It must have cost a lot."

The twins looked at each other.

"Not really." Kaoru said. "We made it."

Tamaki and Haruhi stared at the twins dumbfounded.

"Remember? Our dad does tech?" Hikaru reminded the trainers.

"Right! Now I remember!" Tamaki exclaimed.

"Anyway, you two better hurry up and leave, okay?"The older twin said, for once unintentionally sounding like a jerk.

"He's right." Haruhi said, looking to the east where the evil pass resided and the skies overhead. "We'd better hurry; it's getting darker that way."

Tamaki nodded.

"Alright, good luck again! "Kaoru yelled as the two walked away once more.

"We'll probably see them again, huh, Kaoru?" Hikaru asked his brother as they began inside.

"Probably." The younger sibling agreed.

"Dang it."Hikaru said. "I meant to tell that idiot to keep an eye out for the new Pokewatches!"

Kaoru shook his head.

"No matter how many times you say it, I still can't get used to the idea of a watch that does all those things, though it's true." The younger brother remarked as they entered the castle.

"Yeah." Hikaru agreed. "It's not like I'm a huge endorser of it. The PokeNav isn't interesting either, you know." He pointed out.

"Yeah. Maybe one of these days we'll actually make something impressive for once." Kaoru hoped, getting a nod from his brother.

It had been about an hour and a half since Haruhi and Tamaki had left the company of the twins. To their liking, about fifteen minutes after getting off of the tram car, the weather began warming up.

The two were now passing through a similar set of hills near the Haninozuka's Gym's town. However, this time the gym would be to their west, as they were headed for the pass between the mountain range.

The two had disposed of their cold weather clothes in Tamaki's remarkably spacious gym bag, which he had all of his things inside, even a small backpack he occasionally carried.

"We're getting closer!" Tamaki excitedly said.

Haruhi looked around.

"Senpai," She addressed, "it's getting late."

Sure enough, by the time they were near the hills the sun began to set. While they were travelling faster as they went downhill most of the time, it still took a while to reach the mountain pass, which lay a tiny bit further than the nearest gym's town.

"Should we stop soon?" She asked.

"No, we'll be fine. We'll stop once we get there." Haruhi sighed.

Great, he wanted to camp in the pass.

The two travelers continued onward and soon the stars were visible. They were a bit south of the Haninozuka Gym.

Haruhi continued to eye the mountains to her left, wondering when the two of them could stop so they would have enough stamina tomorrow to hike through the pass.

"There!"

Her thoughts were interrupted by Tamaki's high pitched squeal. She realized that they had been walking through a town for a while, or at some point as it was now behind her.

A ways in front of them sat an enormous mansion. Inside, the lights were on. It was surrounded by a large, fancy, gated fence.

Tamaki began to bound for the estate while Haruhi gazed at it from afar.

"Come on, Haruhi!" Tamaki yelled as he quickened towards the house. "We're here!"

'Here?' Haruhi thought.

"What do you mean 'here,' Senpai?" She asked as they approached the closed gate.

"Home!"

Haruhi stared at Tamaki, who was excitedly pressing a button on the gate's speaker box and waiting for someone to respond.

'He lives here?' She thought amazed.

Then again, she remembered what he said when she first met him; babbling something about taking three suitcases and needing his teacher along with Antoinette's bath. That, along with the fact that he attended the Elite Trainer's School, was testimony to his wealth.

"Yes?"

Ah, but enough of Haruhi's muses, it appears that Tamaki caught hold of someone.

"Hello!" Tamaki said eagerly. "Can you open the gate please?" He asked, fidgeting from excitement.

"Who asks?" The voice on the other side of the speaker asked.

"It's me! Tamaki!"

Apparently the other voice was amazed by this fact, and equally as excited, as after a moment of silence or disbelief, there was a response with as much excitement as Tamaki.

"Sir! Is it really you? My apologies, Master Tamaki, I shall open the gate at once!"

True to his word, right as the man spoke the gate began opening.

"Thank you!" Tamaki thanked before he hurriedly entered the fenced property.

Haruhi followed after him, looking about the grounds. As Tamaki got to the mansion's front doors, they opened.

"Master Tamaki!"

A group of servants awaited him inside.

"Glad you're back, Sir!"

"It's great to see you again!"

"How have you been, Sir?" The servants all greeted.

After fussing over an embarrassed Tamaki for a while, the employees noticed Haruhi.

"Sir, do you have a friend with you?" One asked as they all grew silent and planted their stares upon Haruhi, who felt quite awkward at the time.

"Ah, yes! This is my friend and fellow trainer Haruhi Fujioka! Come in, Haruhi!" Tamaki urged warmly.

His servants' expressions turned to welcoming smiles.

"Yes! Please do come in, we're getting dinner started, Miss." The same man who asked Tamaki about Haruhi invited.

"Ah, for a moment I thought that she was a sibling of Master Kyoya's, as I only saw the dark hair." One of the maids inside then giggled after her statement. "But then I remembered how Master Kyoya is the youngest of the family, so I was quite confused!"

The maids around her giggled as well.

"Haruhi, come on!" Tamaki said. "I'll show you around."

Haruhi stopped surveying the magnificent house to turn and follow Tamaki.

The entryway was large and spacious. Dead ahead was a set of stairs that Tamaki was beginning to ascend. Haruhi then began to follow him up the stairs.

"Master Tamaki!"

Tamaki froze, hearing the sharp voice.

He turned around along with Haruhi, who saw an old, traditional-looking woman in a purple kimono standing in front of the door.

Tamaki tensed like he was preparing for a lecture.

The expression slightly lightened.

"You know how we feel about you just 'popping in' on us." She said. "Next time, it wouldn't be too much trouble to call, Sir."

Tamaki smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, Shima." He apologized.

Earning a nod from the woman, he began to climb the stairs again along with Haruhi.

"That was Shima-san, she's in charge of this place."Tamaki explained as he and Haruhi walked down a long corridor.

"What exactly is this place called?" Haruhi wondered out loud.

Surely such a large mansion had a name. Perhaps it was simply called, "The Suoh Estate."

"Ah, this is the Suoh Second Residence."

Haruhi looked at Tamaki, who was radiating happiness to be back home.

"Second Residence? Don't people usually stay in the first?" She asked.

"Ah, normally. I'm not allowed there." Tamaki said, his expression saddening.

"I'm sorry." Haruhi apologized.

"Don't worry about it. Here! Look, this is my room."

As Tamaki opened the door, Haruhi walked inside.

There was a large bed lying in the middle of the room. On the sides all around were glass-cased shelves.

What was so important on the shelves?

Haruhi walked up to get a closer look.

"These are kids' toys." She observed. "Prizes." She evaluated, recognizing several of them.

Tamaki nodded as he walked around inspecting his room.

"Yes, I became very interested in them when I first came here."

"First came? When did you come here? Where were you at originally?" Haruhi asked, then feeling like an idiot for having asked so many questions.

"I originally lived in another region with my mother. I came here to become the heir of my family in middle school."

Haruhi was confused at Tamaki's statement, as she didn't know the whole story.

"I see." She said, looking at Tamaki while he continued glancing around the room.

"I like it here though, so don't feel bad!" Tamaki said, sensing Haruhi's sad and guilty mood.

At that moment, someone knocked on Tamaki's door and spoke.

"Dinner, Sir!" The voice announced.

Tamaki grinned.

"Perfect! Come along Haruhi!" He said, grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her down to the dining room.

Upon arriving at the room, Haruhi noticed its spaciousness and all of the luxurious food that sat upon the table.

"All of this is for us?" She asked.

"Yep!" Tamaki said happily, sitting down and motioning to Haruhi where she should sit.

"A-a-ah, Master Tamaki." A servant said with a smile on his face. "You haven't forgotten, have you, Sir?"

Tamaki's face immediately brightened up and he stood up from his chair.

"Right! I knew it!" He exclaimed.

He turned to Haruhi.

"Up, Haruhi! There's something we must do first!"

"Which is?"

"It's time to battle!" Tamaki exclaimed, earning a cheer from several of his servants.

Instantly, music, or apparently what passed as music in the Suoh Second Residence, began to play.

Haruhi turned to the sound's origin and saw a few of the servants on instruments at the other side of the room.

"Come on, Haruhi! Let's battle!" The blond urged.

"Me against you?" She asked.

"No, we'll go one-on-one with the servants!"

"I don't know..."

However, Haruhi then realized that her claims were being ignored, as she saw Tamaki chattering away to some of his servants.

"Everyone ready?" A chef asked.

The dining room had suddenly become the place for battle. It was Tamaki standing across from one of his maids.

"Begin!"The chef yelled.

"Alright, Antoinette, time to fight!" Tamaki yelled, sending out Antoinette to the field.

"Good job, Sir!" The maid said. "However, I won't go easy on you! Come on out, Ratata!" She yelled as a purple rat appeared on the field.

"Antoinette, use tackle!"

"You too, Ratata!" The maid ordered.

The two Pokémon ran at each other and then collided. Upon separation, the Ratata fell to the ground with spins in its eyes.

"Rattata is unable to battle! Master Tamaki and Antoinette win!" The chef announced, causing cheering all around.

"Good job, Tamaki!"

Tamaki jumped as suddenly someone was behind him.

"Ninja!" He yelled, jumping forward and turning around.

The man dressed in a ninja costume laughed.

"Still gets you every time, Tamaki!" He exclaimed.

"Dad?" Tamaki asked, surprised.

'Great, now I know where Tamaki gets his weirdness from.' Haruhi thought as she stared at the man dressed up like a ninja.

"Yep!" The ninja man said, flashing a peace sign and pulling down his mask.

Tamaki looked confused and surprised.

"But...but...how...you...here... How did you know I was here?" Tamaki finally made out.

"I called him, Sir." Tamaki looked to his left where he saw Shima standing.

"Yep!" The eldest Suoh agreed. "So naturally I left the school as quick as I could and rushed on over here to surprise you. And boy did I!" The man laughed again.

"School?" Haruhi accidentally voiced.

Tamaki heard her and turned to face her.

"Yeah, my dad's the chairman of the Elite Trainer's School we attended." Tamaki revealed as if it were common knowledge.

"What? Really?" Haruhi asked, once again feeling stupid.

"Uh-huh."

"Nice to meet you." The man said to Haruhi. "I'm Yuzuru Suoh, chairman of the Elite Trainer's School and Tamaki's dad. If I remember correctly, you're the transfer student, Haruhi Fujioka."

Haruhi nodded.

"Yep. I remembered right. You were so smart that all we had to do was stock you up for your journey!" The man said.

He then turned to Tamaki.

"As great as this all is," He said to his son, "how about we get back to the battles now?" He asked.

Tamaki stared at him.

"Do you mean you want to battle me?" The blond trainer asked.

"Of course! And I won't go easy on you either!" His father said with a grin that Tamaki mirrored.

"Right! Let's get on with it!" The student exclaimed.

"Still using Antoinette?" The chairman asked as he brandished a pokeball. "Might be a problem, son! Alright, Mr. Mime! Come on out!"

"Mr. Mime!" The Pokémon exclaimed as it popped out of the pokeball with an energized expression on its face.

"Ready? Begin!" The chef declared.

"Antoinette, use ember!"

"Mr. Mime, reflect!"

Antoinette's spurt of fire was reflected by an invisible wall in front of Mr. Mime.

Tamaki stared at the opposing Pokémon determinedly.

"Okay, Antoinette, use tackle until it hits that mime!" He ordered, Antoinette faithfully following through.

Yuzuru Suoh seemed curious.

"Really? You sure that's the best idea, Tamaki? Oh well." The man lamented. "Mr. Mime, use psychic!" He ordered.

Immediately, Antoinette was lifted from the ground helplessly. Haruhi got déjà vu from Tamaki's gym battle with Yasuchika, where Psyduck was used.

"Hang in there, Antoinette!" Tamaki called as his Pokémon floated defenselessly in the air.

"Not gonna work, Son." Yuzuru said, shaking his head almost sadly. "Mr. Mime, finish this up by throwing Antoinette to the ground."

With those words, the Pokémon followed through and Antoinette loudly slammed to the floor.

"Antoinette!" Tamaki called, rushing to her side.

Spins were clearly showing in her eyes.

"Antoinette is unable to battle! The chairman and Mr. Mime win!" The chef announced.

"Good job, Antoinette." Tamaki said with a weak smile as he returned the tired Pokémon to her pokeball.

"That was a great battle, Master Tamaki!" A servant exclaimed.

"You've gotten so much better!"

"Good job, Sir!" Tamaki smiled at all of the praise he received and turned to face his father.

"I agree, Tamaki. You've improved a lot since I last saw you." His father said with a proud smile. "Soon you'll be able to defeat me..!" The man predicted.

"Thanks, Dad." Tamaki said as his father patted him heartily on the back.

The blond turned to his travelling companion.

"Well, Haruhi, are you ready to start for dinner now?"

The girl nodded and slowly everyone took their seats at the long table.

"Lady Benibara, do you see how much food is in that house?" Squealed Chizuru as she crouched furtively with the other members of her team on a tree branch outside of the Suoh Second Residence.

Benio and Hinako gripped their binoculars tightly as they focused on finding the food pantry.

"There, I see it!" Benibara exclaimed.

"Me too!" Yelled Hinako. "Ugh, I feel like we haven't eaten decently in days..!" She groaned, going back to swinging her legs from the branch and looking up at the night sky.

"We'd better secure some of that for ourselves." Benio said, lowering her binoculars. "If we don't, that wretched boy may take it all!"

The other two girls nodded.

"I agree! We need that food more than he does! We're on a mission to save girlkind!" Hinako boldly announced.

"But, Lady Benibara, however are we going to get in there?" Chizuru asked with a worried look.

Benio smiled.

"Nothing to worry about, Chizuru. We're Team Zuka after all!"

"Hey, Haruhi, have you tried this?" Tamaki asked his friend as he received second helpings of some sort of noodle dish. "It tastes just like macaroni and cheese!"

"I think that's because it is macaroni and cheese, Senpai."

"Oh, really? The chef's never made it this way before..."

As Tamaki inspected his mac' n cheese, Haruhi wondered how exactly the chef normally made it, as it looked just like the mac and cheese she had seen at restaurants, complete with croutons and multiple kinds of cheese.

"So, Tamaki," Yuzuru Suoh began from farther down the table, "where are you and Haruhi headed next?"

Quickly, Tamaki swallowed his bite of food and responded.

"We're headed to Orange City!" Yuzuru's eyes widened.

"Orange City? Now let me think," he began to mumble under his breath, "there's something important to note about Orange City this time of year...but what?"

"Father?" Tamaki asked, confused at the man's reaction.

Yuzuru smiled.

"Oh, nothing, nothing. It's a great city, healthy, too." He added.

"Do you know anything about the Gym Leader, Suoh-san?" Haruhi asked.

Yuzuru looked thoughtfully at the ceiling before he replied.

"Well..." He began. "If I remember hearing right, the gym leader is a guy about Tamaki's age and uh," Yuzuru began to laugh, "I've heard he's a bit of a nut..!"

Haruhi and Tamaki looked at each other.

"A nut? How?" Haruhi inquired.

"Mmm, well, it seems he's a health freak. Not odd considering he's from Orange City, but still, it seems he's a bit...obsessed."

"Obsessed?" Tamaki repeated. "With what?"

Yuzuru shrugged as he readied another bite of food on his fork.

"I don't quite remember that. Sorry." Tamaki's father said. "All I remember is that he has some sort of odd obsession."

Tamaki ate another bite of food while pondering what the Gym Leader could be obsessed with. As Haruhi was about to ask Yuzuru another question, suddenly, a loud crash sounded.

"What was that?" Tamaki asked, looking toward the door to the room.

"Not a clue..." Haruhi replied, looking in the same direction.

Immediately a man appeared in the doorway.

"Sir, burglars are stealing all of our food!"

"What?"

Tamaki, Yuzuru, and Haruhi bolted out of the dining room and after the servant who lead them to the food pantry.

"Oh, Chizuru, we will feast tonight!" Benio exclaimed as she filled another sack full of food.

"You!" Haruhi yelled.

"Stop right there, Team Zuka!" Tamaki ordered.

"Aha! So you are here! Don't worry, fair maiden, we shall save you from this awful place!" Benio yelled. "Go, Tangela!"

"A Tangela!" Tamaki exclaimed as the Pokémon appeared. "Alright, go, Antoinette!"

"I choose you, Zigzagoon!" Haruhi announced as she called forth her Pokémon.

"Two against one? No way!" Shrieked Hinako. "Come on out...Seedot!"

"I'll call Roselia!"

"Don't worry. Mr. Mime, a hand please?"

Six Pokémon appeared between the three opposing trainers.

"Ha, a three-on-three battle, huh? Alright, Tamaki, let's show 'em how the Suohs handle things!" Yuzuru said grinning. "Mr. Mime, psychic on Seedot!"

"Antoinette, ember on Roselia!"

"Zigzagoon! Uh...Tackle on Tangela..." Haruhi ordered, realizing she didn't know how well her Pokémon would battle.

"Don't stand for that, Roselia, dodge!" Chizuru commanded.

"Seedot, oh no!" Cried Hinako as Mr. Mime's psychic caught it and chucked it at a wall.

Spins showed in its eyes.

"Seedot is unable to battle." Mr. Suoh said with a smooth, amused grin.

"One down, two more to go!" Tamaki proclaimed, determined. "Antoinette, use fire spin!"

'Antoinette knows fire spin? 'Haruhi thought as she concentrated on her own fight.

"Tangela, constrict!"

"Zigzagoon, use scratch!"

Tangela fell back at Zigzagoon's attack.

"No, my Tangela! Tangela, use vine whip!"

"Zigzagoon, use tail whip!"

The two Pokémon's attacks collided with seemingly equal force, but Tangela, who had received earlier damage, was knocked out.

"No, Tangela!"

"Good job, Zigzagoon!"Haruhi looked over to see Roselia knocked out and burned as well.

"I need a Burn Heal! My poor Roselia! Somebody call Nurse Joy! Somebody get Officer Jenny to arrest this savage brute!" Chizuru demanded as the tone in her voice changed from despairing to vengeful while pointing her finger at Tamaki.

"Looks like we need to kick these unwanted vandals out." Yuzuru said. "Mr. Mime, if you'd please..."

"Mr. Mime!"

Mr. Mime used psychic, floating Team Zuka and its Pokémon out of the broken window they had entered through.

"As far as you can." Yuzuru vaguely instructed.

Mr. Mime then threw Team Zuka so far that only a sparkle showed where they had faded off to.

"Wow..."Haruhi uttered, impressed.

"Dad, that was so cool!" Tamaki gushed as he gazed awestruck at his father.

"Of course it was, Tamaki!" Agreed Mr. Suoh with a wide smile. "But now that they're gone, let's get back to dinner."

Haruhi sighed.

"What is it, Haruhi?" Tamaki asked.

"Oh uh, nothing, I'm just stuffed." Tamaki nodded.

"Same here, I couldn't eat another bite."

"Well then, how about you two hit the hay? You're off on an adventure after all, so you'll need to be well-rested tomorrow! Haruhi, I'll get a servant to show you where you'll be staying."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

A maid arrived and began leading Haruhi away.

"Goodnight, Haruhi! Sleep tight! Sweet dreams! Be ready for tomorrow!" Tamaki rambled as he walked to his own bedroom.

"Goodnight, Tamaki-senpai." Haruhi replied.

She was led to her room, where, once inside, she let out a yawn.

'Guess I'm pretty tired.' She thought. 'Well, I did have my first Pokémon battle along with being around these crazy people...'

Haruhi changed into her pajamas, crawled into bed, and quickly fell asleep in the extravagant room.

Tamaki was right, tomorrow was going to be a big day.

But will it be a bit too big?

Uh-oh, seems like a foreboding sign! Is something going to happen on Haruhi and Tamaki's excursion? Oh dear...

Well, it seems that finally, Haruhi has gotten into her first Pokémon battle and won! Preceding that, Yuzuru Suoh not only proves to be a decent, skilled trainer, but also reveals a bit about Orange City's Gym Leader! Obsessed? With what I wonder...

Will Tamaki and Haruhi find out soon, or will the task of getting to Orange City prove to be too much? Find out next time!
