Pokemon BW: Yin-Yang Quest

In a wooden house, Mia opened the window to greet a sunny day. She, Taylor, and their Emolga stretched out.

"Goood morning, you two!" a woman in a plaid shirt, overalls, and boots greeted. Her hazel eyes shined from the sunlight.

"Morning, Ivy!" Mia greeted.

"Morning," Taylor also greeted.

"Hey, when you're finished with breakfast, can you help me with something?" Ivy requested. "It's really important."

"Sure," Mia replied.

"Thanks! Y'all are doin' the Arrowbend Ranch a big favor!" Ivy thanked. She let out a "Yee-haw!" as she went to the farm. The four of them smiled at each other and went off to have breakfast.

When Mia and Taylor first came upon the Arrowbend Ranch, they were looking for shelter from a rainstorm that occurred while they were camping last night. Ivy, the owner of the ranch, allowed them to stay in the guest rooms of her home for the night. Mia proposed if they could help out in the Ranch in return, she'll accept her hospitality. Ivy said it wasn't necessary, but she accepted.

Now in farmer's clothes some of the workers gave them, Mia and Taylor were taken to a petting zoo. She directed them to an area with corralled Bouffalant.

"Ah need y'all to help take care of the Bouffalant in this pettin' zoo," Ivy proposed. Mia looked up the Pokemon in her Pokedex.

"Bouffalant, the Bash Buffalo Pokemon," the Dex explained. "They charge wildly and head-butt everything. Their head-butts have enough destructive force to derail a train."

"Here's a schedule so y'know what to do and when to do it," Ivy said. "Ah've gotta get everyone else awake and ready for the school kids that are a comin'."

Ivy left as Mia and Taylor stepped into the corral. "Let's see, breakfast is first for them," Taylor said as he looked at the schedule.

A school bus came driving into the parking lot. Ivy went up to it happily. The doors opened and out stepped a teacher wearing purple with green eyes and blond hair. "Hello, Ivy," she greeted.

"Welcome back, Ms. Reginald," Ivy greeted back. Elementary school students came down. "Oh, hey, kids! Welcome to the Arrowbend Ranch!"

"I've been to a ranch before, but this is the first time I actually worked in one!" Mia exclaimed to another worker.

"Really?" the worker asked as Taylor put down some pails.

"Yep!" Mia answered. "I loved to pet the Pokemon being raised there when I was a kid."

"Hey, Mia, what's your Emolga doing?" Taylor asked.

"E-ga?" Momo asked.

"Huh?" Mia asked.

Mia turned to find Emolga on a Buffalon's back. Taylor spotted sparks coming from his cheeks.

"Emolga, you'd better not shock it!" Mia warned.

The warning came too late, as Emolga unleashed a ThunderShock on the Bouffalant. It went on a rampage, ramming into other Bouffalant and shaking Emolga off. This stirred up the whole pack and they broke the fence down in a matter of seconds.

"HELP! Bouffalant running amuck! Bouffalant running amuck!" the worker warned as he fled from one.

"Emolga, what were you thinking?" Mia asked in anger.

As the Bouffalant ran through the Ranch, they were Head Charging anything in sight. This scared the workers and visitors of the ranch. Some of the more courageous workers proceeded to direct the visitors to the hotel rooms so that they would be safe for the time being.

Ms. Reginald hurried to get the students to Ivy as a Bouffalant was chasing her down. She tripped on a nearby rock and fell as the last student headed for Ivy. Bouffalant's afro glowed red as it charged for the teacher. It instead hit Mia, who dived in between them. She got rammed straight into the chain-link fence.

"Mia!" Taylor yelled in concern.

"Thank you!" Ms. Reginald thanked.

"No problem," Mia said as she stood up. Pain hit her leg and she suddenly fell back on her other knee, the right one having a scrape.

"I'll handle that scrape," Taylor said as he got some bandages out.

"Deerling, round up those Bouffalant!" Ivy commanded as she threw a Poke Ball.

A Springtime Forme Deerling came out and raced to the Bouffalant. Letting out its cry, the Bouffalant ran after it.

"Okay, but how do we group the herd back together?" Taylor asked. "The Bouffalant broke the fence down!"

"The thing about Bouffalant is that they don't like red," Ivy explained. "I can use something red to lure them into the stables."

Taylor removed his cap while Mia gave Emolga a devious smile.

Now in normal clothes, the four of them headed for a nearby white fence. "Just need you to stand right here," Mia instructed.

"Mo-ga," Emolga complied and got off Mia's shoulder. Taylor put his cap on Emolga's head. Emolga looked up.

"Don't ask, just wait right there," Mia insisted.

The other three left. "E-ga, e-ga, e-ga…" he muttered in annoyance before looking at the Deerling and Bouffalant running to him. Emolga yelled out and ran off, Deerling stopped as attention was turned to Mia's Emolga.

"Head for that stable over there!" Mia called out as Emolga fled in fear. He ran into the nearby stable, the Bouffalant following.

The other three went into the stable to find a dazed Emolga looking like he'd been run over by a stampede. "That's for agitating the animals!" Mia said.

Emolga fell onto the ground. Taylor grabbed his hat, dusted it off, and put it back on.

"Thanks, everyone," Mia thanked. "Sorry about that incident, Ivy. My Emolga can be a bit of a troublemaker."

"No trouble at all, Mia," Ivy replied. "Though keep that Emolga in yer sights at all times."

Emolga smiled sheepishly in response.

Ms. Reginald approached her with a forest green Pokemon egg in an Egg case. "A small token of my appreciation for your heroic actions, Mia," she presented.

"Thank you!" the students thanked as Mia accepted the egg.

"Thanks, Ms. Reginald, everyone," Mia thanked. "See you again!"

Taylor waved as he and Mia left. "Y'all are welcome in the Arrowbend Ranch anytime! Happy trails!" Ivy said as she and the class waved goodbye.
