Cranidos' team walk up the stairs heading to Xerneas' room, after a while of walking, they finally see him.

Torch: Uh, excuse me?

Xerneas: Hmm? (turns to Torch and the others) Why, hello there! What can I do for you three?

Cranidos: Well, this jerk Yveltal stole my girlfriend and we would like you to beat him up for us!

Xerneas: I can't just beat him up if he hasn't done anything to me.

Torch: He kidnapped a bunch more!

Cyndaquil: Yeah! We would be grateful if you helped us.

Xerneas: Well... it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Torch: Great! Also, do you know about this? (pulls out the megastone)

Xerneas: Yeah, why?

Cranidos: What kind of Pokémon mega evolves with this?

Xerneas: It's hard to say... It's neither of you three, that's for sure.

Torch: Well, should we hold on to it?

Xerneas: Of course! You might have a friend that can use it.

Cranidos: Oh.

Xerneas: Well, we should get going before it gets nightfall.

Cyndaquil: What happens at nightfall?

Xerneas: Hostile Pokémon comes out at nightfall.

Cyndaquil: I was hoping that wouldn't happen.

Cranidos: Don't be a baby, Cyndaquil! Lets go!

They head out and Xerneas leads them to the lair which is the opposite side of his lair but way far out there.

Cyndaquil: I'm scared. (shivers)

Xerneas: Don't be. I got your back.

A quadrio of dark type Pokémon comes out, A Weavile, Honchrow, Umbreon, and Zoroark.

Xerneas: We got company!

Weavile: You don't go no further!

Cyndaquil: Is this the hostile Pokémon you told us about?

Xerneas: No. These are just guards of Yveltal.

Torch: Let us through!

Honchrow: Yeah, that will do it. (sarcastic)

Zoroark: Let's show them! (brandishes claws)

Cranidos: We don't got time for this! (uses hyper beam)

The dark type Pokémon fly in random places and Cranidos and his team go through.

Weavile: This isn't going as planned, we need backup!

It becomes night-time.

Honchrow: (gulps) It's night-time!

Zoroark: What?! Are you scared of the dark? You're a freaking dark type!

Weavile: No! It's the hostile Pokémon out at night.

Zoroark: What?!

Weavile: Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you that when you joined.

A bunch of Pokémon with glowing red eyes appear from nowhere.

Umbreon: Hope you're ready to get eaten, guys.

Zoroark: Screw this! I'm out of here! (climbs on the wall of Yveltal's lair)

Weavile: Good idea! (climbs on it,too)

Honchrow: I got wings! (flies off)

Umbreon: Hey! What about me?! I don't have claws like you two and I certainly don't have wings!

Zoroark: Jump on my back!

Umbreon: Th-thanks. (jumps on Zoroark's back)

Back with the captured Pokémon.

Aerodactyl: Hmm? (hears something) I think they're coming!

Mawile: Really? Oh boy! My boyfriend is coming to save me! (twirls around)

Aerodactyl: Let's hope they can make it here.

Yveltal: What was that I hear?

Aerodactyl: They are coming! Your plan is falling apart!

Yveltal: Grr! I don't have time to punish you! I need to stop these pathetic Pokémon!

Xerneas: What was that about pathetic Pokémon?

Yveltal: Huh? (turns around) You!

Xerneas: Huh, I see that you captured these poor ladies in here. Just what did you plan on doing?

Yveltal: None of your business!

Xerneas: Do I have to teach you a lesson?

Yveltal: I'll be the one to teach you one! (attacks Xerneas)

They battle out, Aerodactyl just watches them.

Mawile: Psst! While they fight, how about you let us out!

Aerodactyl: I don't have a key... Wait. Stay back, girls!

They followed his command as Aerodactyl unleases a hyperbeam at the bars and it blew up, they all escaped out. Mawile did as well but not giving Aerodactyl a hug for all he did for them.

Mawile: Thank you... (lets go and runs off)

Apple: You should come with us.

Aerodactyl: Ok. (nods and follows them)

Back with Cranidos' party.

Cyndaquil: Do you hear that?

A bunch of Pokémon passed them after he said that. They looked at the direction they are heading for a bit and looked back ahead.

Cranidos: Wait... I hear something else.

Mawile: (from a distance) Craaaaannnniiidosss! (runs towards Cranidos)

Cranidos: Mawile!

Mawile gives Cranidos a big hug.

Mawile: I knew you would come for me! I missed you so much!

Cranidos: But... It has been only a few hours.

Mawile: I don't care... It felt like forever.

Cranidos: I'm not letting you out of my sight.

Mawile: Me neither. (cuddles Cranidos)

Torch: Psychopath? Yeah right! (sarcastic) That Psyduck's crazy.

Apple: (from a distance) Torch?

Torch: Huh? (looks at the direction of Apple) Apple?

Apple: I knew you came for me. (tears up)

Torch: I can't believe Yveltal actually captured you.

Apple: I know! It was horrible! Don't ever leave again.

Torch: Ok.

Mawile: That goes the same for my Cranidos.

Cyndaquil: Guys, we should go. Do you see the place falling apart?

Cyndaquil was right, they head out before the place could collapse on them. They head out, but not before they see the hostile Pokémon.

Cyndaquil: No! I'm too young to get eaten!

Mawile: Do you think we can take them, guys?

Cranidos: Let's see... 100 of them and only 5 of us... Hmm... Nope.

Zoroark: You should make that 9, fellas.

The four dark types appear.

Cranidos: You guys again?

Zoroark: Ain't no way we're working with that guy who left us here to get eaten.

Cranidos: Thanks for your help and all, but... they still out number us.

Zoroark: You know... we could distract them while you 5 run to safety. Just a thought.

Mawile: Really? You'll do that for us?

Zoroark: Of course! We might survive and if we do... we should be pals.

Torch: Err... thanks Zoroark.

Zoroark: No problem. Now get out of here!

The five did that and Zoroark and his gang fights the hostile Pokémon.

Cyndaquil: Guys... I see one that's still after us.

Cranidos: So... one is not a problem.

Cyndaquil: It is if it's a hungry Serperior.

Cranidos: I'll let you handle it.

Cyndaquil: What?! I'm completely vulnerable against that thing!

Cranidos: But you are a fire type, right?

Cyndaquil: Yeah, so?

Torch: Serperior is a grass type. You should be able to take it down.

Cyndaquil: Sure... whatever you say...

They all leave him.

Serperior: Why, hello my darling little lunch.

Cyndaquil: Eep! I'm so dead.

The others head back for town and they get stopped by... who else... Psyduck.

Psyduck: Psy! Not cool, guys!

Cranidos: What?

Psyduck: Stealing that thing from me and putting me unconscious.

Mawile: Seems like you deserved it.

Psyduck: I see you rescued you girlfriend, Cranidos. Gone through that trouble when you could find someone new.

Cranidos: Of course! I love her!

Mawile: Aww, Cranidos!

Psyduck: Psy! I don't understand you, Cranidos. What a wierd rock type dinosaur you are.

Torch: What's wrong with him? It's just a rescue mission. Every heroic Pokemon does it.

Psyduck: Psy... I suppose. Hey, It might be that I'm not a heroic duck. So... whatever makes you happy, Cranidos.

Torch: You could be a bit nicer.

Psyduck: I could be but I'm not going to. Say... what happen to that scaredy Pokémon, Cyndaquil?

Cranidos: Oh, we told him to handle something out himself.

Psyduck: You left him behind with that Serperior, didn't you?

Cranidos: Yes.

Torch: You saw that, huh?

Psyduck: Psy... yes. For shame. He was a good Pokémon. Even though he doesn't have courage to stand on his own.

Torch: Now you're just making me feel bad about this.

Psyduck: Psy... I hope he has enough courage to ignite his flames and attack.

Torch: Oh... I'm going back for him.

Apple: Will you be ok by yourself?

Torch: Of course! I'm an adventurer. Plus... you believe in me.

Apple: Of course I do. Go and save him!

Torch: Right! (runs off)

Cranidos: Should we follow him.

Apple: It's best to let him do it on his own. He likes supporting others.

Cranidos: Ok.

Back with Torch.

Torch: Hmm... I wonder where that snake got to? (walks to the area where they were) Yep, gone. This might be tougher than I thought. Hmm... (taps his foot) How do I capture a snake Pokémon? (sighs)

He continues to trek on ahead, he eventually goes back to where the hostile Pokémon were, no trace of them or the 4 dark types.

Torch: They're gone, too. I guess they didn't make it.

Zoroark: You are wrong, my friend.

The four appear out of nowhere.

Torch: What were you doing?

Zoroark: Well... after you guys left, we ran off as well.

Weavile: Yeah! Do you expect us to fight that many Pokémon at once?

Torch: Can't blame you. Hey, you happened to see Cyndaquil around, have you?

Zoroark: What happened to him?

Torch: We left him with the Serperior that followed us out of the other 99 Pokémon that was after you.

Zoroark: That sounds bad the way you said it.

Torch: You're right, I just wanted him to be tough.

Zoroark: What ever the case might be. We'll help you find him.

Torch: Thanks.

Weavile: It's weird that this particular Pokémon is the only one that went after you guys.

Torch: Yeah, now that you mention it.

Umbreon: Do you think it's after Cyndaquil?

Honchrow: Seems that way. I'll look for Serperior in the skies. (flies up)

Zoroark: There! Now we got an aerial cover on the area.

Torch: Great!

Zoroark: You should head back. We'll take care of this.

Torch: What? No way! I want to help look for him!

Zoroark: Searching things in the night is what we do. And you here will attract more hostile Pokémon with your tail flame and all.

Torch: Good point. I'll see you later.

Zoroark: We'll notify you once we got progress.

Torch: Thanks.

Torch heads back to his friends, they all greet him with smiles.

Apple: Hi Torch, did you find Cyndaquil yet?

Torch: Nope, Zoroark and his group are going to solve it.

Cranidos: Oh, so they are alive?

Torch: Yeah.

Apple: Why didn't you help them?

Torch: He said my flame will attract more hostile Pokémon.

Apple: I see.

Mawile: Cranidos, what's that you have there?

Cranidos: Huh? (pulls it out) It's the mega stone. I thought you had it Torch.

Torch: I passed it on to you before I left.

Cranidos: Oh.

Mawile: It looks so pretty! Can I see it?

Cranidos: I don't see why not. (gives it to Mawile)

Mawile: Oooh... It has strange colors in it.

Torch: Do you think she can mega evolve with this?

Cranidos: Don't be ridiculous. There's no way that she'll mega evolve.

Torch: Her kind doesn't have a further evolution. It's possible.

Cranidos: It'll be too convenient for this stone to be the right one to mega evolve her.

Torch: Well, we'll find out.

Mawile: (yawns) I'm a bit sleepy... I'm going to turn in. Coming Cranidos?

Cranidos: Uh, sure... (follows Mawile)

Torch: Well... I think we should sleep, too, Apple.

Apple: You're right. The problem is that our rescue team isn't stationed here.

Nidorino: Don't worry. We can help you!

Torch: Who are you two?

Nidorina: We're the rescue team guild chiefs.

Apple: Both of you?

Nidorino: That's right! We have a guild with rooms so if you want to sleep there, you can.

Apple: Thank you. Come on Torch.

Torch: Alright.

So, they go to sleep. While they do that. Zoroark and his team are on the case. We'll find out how they are doing with that next time.
