[Royal Woods: Loud Residence]
After getting chased by various animals the Loud sister's managed to shake them off and they all decided to go home as they were mentally and physically exhausted.
As for the Loud parents they too returned home as they too were mentally and physically exhausted after being cut down by the fire department and getting scolded by them at the same time as it wasn't the first time the fire department's been called to help a Loud out of a sticky situation.
As for Lisa and Lily they we're the only ones not as emotionally drained as they stayed home to help in the search for Lincoln but Lisa was having no better luck in finding Lincoln.
"Okay I just called the police and they said they'll be sending someone over here to commence an investigation."said Rita as she slumped back on her personal chair.
"We literally looked all around Royal Woods and we still couldn't find any trace of Lincoln. It's like he literally disappeared off the face of the Earth."said Lori as as she was holding an ice pack to her head to help ease her headache.
"Dudes you don't think Lincoln was kidnapped after anything?!"Asked Luna as she was worried that something happened to their brother.
The others began to mentally ask themselves if this was indeed true. After all they we're all out yesterday and Lincoln was the only one home. But could someone have broken in and taken Lincoln?!
Lynn Sr got up from his chair and check both the front and back door before returning back to the living room.
"I don't see any signs that someone forced their way in. And even if they did Lisa's security system would have alerted us."said Lynn Sr who knew ever since that whole fiasco with the Royal Woods burglar and with him pretending to be a fake Lisa called in a favor and had a home security system installed.
"Yes and I called for the footage but when they sent it to me there was none of the footage found. I don't understand my firewalls are near impenetrable you would literally have to be made of electrical energy to get through them!"exclaimed Lisa she was wondering how someone bypassed her security systems.
"Well let's look around and search for some clues maybe whoever took Lincoln left something here that we can give to the police."said Lynn as she hated waiting around and wanted to be in the action.
The other Loud's agreed and began searching around the living room and other parts of the house to see if there was any clues as to who took Lincoln. As they we're looking around Rita noticed that Lincoln cell phone was still in his room when she started looking for clues in there.
This was strange as what child would go anywhere without their cell phone nowadays. This further convinced the mother of the Loud family that Lincoln had been taken against his will as he would never have left his cell phone.
As Rita picked it up she noticed there were several voice messages on the phone.
"Everyone I think I found a clue on Lincoln's cell phone."said Rita calling everyone back to the living room.
Soon everyone stopped their searches temporarily and headed back to the living room to see the clue that their mother / wife found.
"Okay there are several messages on Lincoln cell phone they must have happened when he was kidnapped. Maybe these messages give us a timeline on when Lincoln was kidnapped."said Rita as she pressed on the touch screen to make the messages all play out after each one was finished.
"Hey Lincoln it's Stella- I know I wasn't at school today because I had to go to the dentist and I just barely recovered from the anesthetics but I just wanted to wish you a happy 12th birthday."
"Lincoln it's me your man Rusty- sorry I couldn't be there on your special day but my dad messed up the plane tickets so we had to go to Reno earlier than expected. Happy birthday man and don't worry when I get back I'll bring you a nice souvenir from Reno."
"Hey partner it's Liam. Sorry I missed our plans to celebrate your birthday at the cafeteria but Betsy gave birth sooner than expected so it was all hands on deck at the farm but I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday."
"Hey Lincoln it's Zach and I just wanted to say happy 12th birthday. I really wish I could be there but this is the closest me and my folks have ever been to finding a real Bigfoot so there's no way we're missing it. Don't worry I'll get you a nice present to make up for it."
"Let lame-o I know this is weird but I just wanted to say happy birthday. I mean it's the least I can do when you sent me a video chat telling me happy birthday for my birthday so now we're even. Hope you have a cool 12th birthday party and I really wish I could be there but Bobby got stuck in the fridge again so there's that..."
As soon as the messages stop playing did the Loud family look at each other. They had totally forgotten that two days ago was Lincoln's birthday.
Each one of them had plans that day and they were so busy or looking forward to it that they completely forgot it was Lincoln's birthday. Not only but it was his 12th birthday and his friends didn't forget but his family of all people actually did.
That was basically just rubbing salt on a already open wound.
"I can't believe we literally forgot his birthday!"exclaimed Lori who is so busy with the upcoming golf tournament that she completely zoned out that it was Lincoln's birthday and at least call him to tell him happy birthday or at the very least send him a text.
"I knew I forgot something but I didn't expect it to be that!"exclaimed Leni as she was usually the most kind and courteous so how could she forget about her little brother's birthday.
"Dude's this is so bogus."said Luna as she was trying her best not to rip out her hair hysterically.
"But I would have known it was his birthday since I always put everyone's birthday on my party... the same party planner I shredded it in an attempted paper shredder gag at one of my clients birthday parties."said Luan who just face palmed herself.
"But I would have known it was elder male siblings birthday...but I wasn't home most of the day because of my conference."said Lisa as she was so distracted by the conference she didn't check her daily notifications.
"Man I can't believe we did this!"said Lynn as she couldn't believe they forgot Lincoln's birthday.
As the others were also wondering how they forgot his birthday a grim thought came to each of their minds at one point or another.
Lincoln wasn't kidnapped! He most likely ran away because they forgot his birthday!
Some on them began questioning why Lincoln would run away for such a childish thing like this then they recalled that they didn't exactly treat Lincoln well that day.
Lola recalled how she kicked him in the shin after she blamed him for the ripping of her and Lana's dollar bill.
Lynn began recalling the wrestling moves she tried out on Lincoln.
Luan then remembered the banana cream pie she used to hit him directly in the face.
Add to that all the stress of having to help Leni keep the house in check since Lori was most of the week at Fairway. Forgetting his birthday was just the icing on the cake needed to push Lincoln over the edge.
The Loud family just stood there in the living room letting the thought sink in just as the police arrived outside to take their statements to begin their investigation onto where Lincoln went.

[Galar region: Postwick]
Meanwhile on the other side of the world it was morning and Lincoln got up to begin the day with his new Pokemon Scorbunny.
After breakfast he got a message from Hop telling him to come over as Leon wanted to tell both of them something important.
So without wasting a single moment Lincoln made his way over to Hop's house as fast as he could. Soon Lincoln, Leon, and Hop when the front yard once more where Lincoln and Hop got their respective Pokemon yesterday.
"I notice that last night you stayed up late Hop getting to know your partner, understanding one another,and maybe building up a bit of love."said Leon as his bedroom was directly next to Hop's so he had a pretty good idea of what his brother was doing last night.
"Course I have Lee, I'm sure Lincoln stayed up last night getting to know his Scorbunny as well."said Hop as he figured getting to know your new Pokemon was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yeah I really got to know Scorbunny and I know that he likes to fight."said Lincoln who remembered Scorbunny punching a nearby support team in what looked like training.
"That's good to hear. Listen it's important to always listen to your partner and always understand how he or she feels as in battle they will always have your back as long as your hearts are one."said Leon wisely as Hop turn to face Lincoln.
"Just having a Pokemon doesn't make you a proper Pokemon trainer yet! A real Pokemon trainer make sure that they're Pokemon are first rate in battle as well!"said Hop with a determined look on his face.
"Oh and you think you're ready to call yourself a proper trainer Hop? I guess I'll be the judge of that."said Leon as he turned to face Lincoln."The only way to be properly sure is to have a Pokemon battle. What do you say Lincoln willing to have your first Pokemon battle with my brother Hop?"
"Sure I have no problem with it as I really want to see Scorbunny can do!"answered Lincoln without a moment of hesitation as he truly wanted to see what his partner was capable of.
"Well then let's go to the field and get this all sorted."said Leon as he started walking towards the field with field with Lincoln and Hop following him.
"All right since this is first Pokemon battle you guys have ever been in let's make things interesting by only allowing the Pokemon you have on hand to battle."said Leon with a smile on his face.
'What! But that is totally not fair as Hop has two Pokemon and I only have one! ...Then again I kind of want to battle both of them since I want to know what each one of Hop's Pokemon is capable of since I don't know what Wooloo or Grookey can do.' thought Lincoln who realized in the long run it's better to know what each one of Hop's Pokémon was capable of.
"I except those terms."said Lincoln and Hop in unison.
"All right with everyone on board let's get this battle started!"
"I have watched every battle Lee has ever been in over and over again and I've read every magazine and book you left at home. I know exactly what to do in order to win!"Said Hop with fire in his eyes as he pulled out his first Pokeball.
"Don't think just because I'm an amateur I will go down easily!"said Lincoln with the same kind of fire in his eyes as he pulled out his pokeball.
"Scorbunny I choose you!"declared Lincoln as he tossed his Pokeball releasing the rabbit Pokemon onto the field of battle.
"Scor!"said score bunny as it knew that this was a battlefield and it was about to fight a fellow Pokemon in battle.
"Wooloo come on out my friend!"Yelled Hop as he release the sheep Pokemon onto the field.
"I had a feeling he would go first."said Lincoln as he was expecting Hop to use Wooloo as it was his first Pokemon at all so he definitely knew the sheep Pokemon better than anyone.
"And with both Pokemon on the field let the battle begin!"declared Leon who decided to act as the referee.
"Wooloo use tackle!"ordered Hop and in response the sheep Pokemon charge towards Scorbunny and began rolling.
"Scorbunny dodge and you use tackle to counter."said Lincoln as a bit of sweat fell down his brow.
This was honestly nerve-wracking as this was indeed his first Pokemon battle, but Lincoln's spent a good portion of the night watching Pokémon battle videos and learning the basics from the books he used to take his exam.
Lincoln decided to rely on his gut and push through any obstacle that got in his way.
Scorbunny meanwhile complied with his trainers command and got out of the way just as Wooloo's attack was about to hit him. As soon as one of those feet touch the floor once more did the rabbit Pokemon deliver a powerful tackle attack, sending Wooloo back where he started while doing a bit of damage.
"Impressive Lincoln I have a feeling you have natural talent like leaders but don't think I'm going down without a fight. Wooloo use growl!"ordered Hop and in response the sheep Pokemon let out sound waves that lowered Scorbunny's attack.
'Growl a move that lowers another Pokemon's attack! This is not good I better not let him use that too many times or else Scorbunny's attacks I'm not going to do any damage in the long run!' thought Lincoln who decided to go on the aggressive as he needed to end this before Wooloo lowered Scorbunny's attack stats even more.
"Scorbunny use quick attack and follow it up tackle!"Yelled Lincoln.
In response the rabbit Pokémon charge towards the sheep Pokemon with a lot of speed striking Wooloo with much damage before following its attack up with a tackle attack. This caused Wooloo to fall to the floor and stagger as it began to try to get up.
"Oh no you don't take this! Scorbunny double kick on the double!"Yelled Lincoln as he needed to end this before Wooloo had a chance to recover.
Scorbunny meanwhile complied with his trainers order and closed the distance between himself and Wooloo. Without wasting a single moment it delivered a powerful kick sending Wooloo up a few inches in the air before jumping in the air himself and striking Wooloo with the second kick, sending the sheep Pokemon back to the ground.
As Scorbunny landed on the ground back on his trainer side of the field he turned around and noticed that Wooloo had been knocked out.
"Wooloo is unable to battle which means this part of the match goes to Lincoln and Scorbunny!"declared Leon as Hop returned his Pokemon back to his pokeball.
"You did a good job take a nice long rest."said Hop as he placed Wooloo's Pokeball back on his trainer belt and pulled out another one.
"I must say I'm impressed but don't think you're out of the woods yet since I've added another partner to my team. Grookey come on out my friend!"declared Hop as he tossed Grookey's Pokeball, releasing the chimp Pokemon onto the battlefield.
"Grookey grook!"said the chimp Pokemon as he took out his stick from his leaf and readied to himself for battle.
'Grookey is a grass type so my Scorbunny has the type advantage although something tells me it's not going to be as simple as that.' thought Lincoln as he waited for a hop to make the first move.
"Grookey branch poke!"declared Hop and in response the chimp Pokemon with great speed struck Scorbunny was it stick sending the rabbit Pokemon flying a few feet.
"Man that was quick but don't think we're giving up that easily! Scorbunny tackle!"declared Lincoln as he was determined not to lose and neither was Scorbunny.
As soon as the order escaped Lincoln's mouth the rabbit Pokemon complied and struck Grookey, causing critical as Grookey was sent back to Hop's side of the field and struggle to get up a bit before managing to stand.
"You landed a critical hit what kind of beginners luck is that?!"Asked Hop as Grookey waited for its next command.
"Grookey use scratch!"Yelled Hop as Grookey complied with the command and struck Scorbunny with a successful scratch attack.
"I was waiting for you to get close!"
"What?!"
"Scorbunny finish this battle with ember!"ordered Lincoln and in response the rabbit Pokémon merely smiled before releasing a burst of flame from its mouth.
This attack struck Grookey and cause the chimp Pokemon super effective damage as he landed on Hop's side of the field drawing up a bit of dust as he did so.
As the just participated it was revealed that Grookey had been knocked out.
"Grookey is unable to battle which means that this battle goes to Lincoln and Scorbunny!"declared Leon as Lincoln and his Pokemon fist bumped.
"You did an excellent job out there buddy."said Lincoln with a smile on his face as he couldn't believe he won his first Pokemon battle.
Meanwhile Hop recalled his Pokemon back to his pokeball.
"You did a good job Grookey take a nice long rest. I still can't believe you managed to beat my two Pokemon with your one you and that Scorbunny or something else."said Hop who decided to be a good sport as a loss is a loss and he just had to accept it.
"You both did your best out there made me almost want to bring out Charizard join in on the fun."said Leon as Lincoln recalled Scorbunny back to his pokeball.
"Yeah did an excellent job out there Lincoln. If fact I like to ask a favor of you if that's all right?"
"Sure Leon I don't mind."said Lincoln as he had no reason to refuse the man who gave him a Pokemon in the first place.
"I want you to become Hop's official rival and help them push to become stronger and stronger until he becomes something great like I know he will be one day."
"I already want to get stronger and stronger Lee come on Lee you already saw yourself that I really want to do that so can you please let me take on the gym challenge?"Asked Hop as Leon looked at him with a serious look.
"You? Take on the gym challenge the most spectacular event in all of Galar? No putting the cart before the Rapidash there little brother. Before you even think about taking on the gym challenge the first thing you need to do is learn more about Pokemon."explain Leon as he turned to look at Lincoln.
"Especially Lincoln he just barely started out. At the very least you two need to get pokédex_s."
"Pokedex's"asked Lincoln.
"They are a special device that will allow you to record data on every Pokemon you encounter as well as more data if you managed to capture that Pokémon. But it's not only that it's also a record of a trainer's Journey and love they put into capturing and training Pokemon."answered Leon as he did the same when he started his journey.
"Right then Pokedex's we're on it!"
"Now that is the kind of enthusiasm I expect of my little brother."said Leon with a smile.
"I'm going to be the next champion so a Pokedex will just be another page in the tail of my legend. But you better tell Mrs Williams where you're going Lincoln since she would probably have a spare if you left without saying anything."said Hop.
"Yeah that makes sense."said Lincoln as He and Hop began to go to Mrs Williams house as Leon went to the Pokemon lab to get everything ready for them when they got there.
But as they were making their way to Mrs Williams house allowed thud was heard in the distance.
Hop looked around and saw something."Lincoln over there!"
Lincoln followed and the two soon arrived where the sound came from and were surprised at what they saw. The fence that the wild Wooloo was tackling yesterday was not completely broken and based on some tracks nearby it looked like Wooloo came back and successfully broke the fence.
"That Wooloo must have come back even though I clearly told it not to. What are we going to do Lincoln that path leads into the Slumbering Weald. No when is allowed in there I remember one time the professor's granddaughter went in there and she came back in a real state but that's nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor."said Hop as he wasn't sure what to do.
"Well if what you say is too we need to go in there and get that Wooloo because there's no way in my conscience I could live with myself if something happened to that poor Pokemon."said Lincoln even though on the inside he was scared.
"Yeah it is times like this that you simply need to act especially when it's the right thing to do. Hope you're ready Lincoln cuz we're going in there."said Hop who was just a scared but he knew that saving Wooloo was the right thing to do.
With a nod in agreement the two ran past the broken fence and began making their way Slumbering Weald.
They both had no idea that this small active bravery will set them on the adventure of a lifetime.
Meanwhile in her laboratory Professor Magnolia was sitting next to her VideoPhone. After she dialed a number she waited for the other person on the other end to respond.
Soon a beeping sound was heard and an old man appeared on the screen.
"Magnolia it's been a while."
"Hello Albert I wish I could have called you on her better circumstances but I felt it was my obligation to tell you what has happened."
"What do you mean?"asked Albert.
"Well I suggest you take a seat my old friend because it's going to be a long one."said Professor Magnolia has she knew this would probably be one of the most tense moments in her life.

Scorbunny [Male]
