[The Loud Kids return to Iscan's hut.]
Iscan: D-did you bring it? You know... The Pokémon with a name that sounds like, um, d-dust...bops...
[Linka pulled out Lars Jr.'s pokeball.]
Iscan: You really brought it...? N-no! Don't bring it out!
Linka: Don't worry, only once you have everything set up.
Iscan: R-right... I guess...I guess I've got to do my part, seeing how, um, determined you are...to go to that island...with Basculegion...Usually I, um, ask Palina if the Growlithe she takes care of can help me with this bit. But this time, you need to help since... Well, since we're making this snack so that you'll be accepted by Basculegion. O-once I give the signal, you...have that "dust bops" of yours use its Dark Pulse...
Linka: Right
[Iscan set up the pot with the ingredients while Linka has Lars Jr. out]
Iscan: Three... Two...Waugh! No! It's too frightening!
Lars Jr: Is he always like that with my species?
Luke: Could you get a grip?
Iscan: Right... S-so counting down to it just makes the anticipation and terror worse... Let's simply have you do it when I say go...
Linka: Right.
Iscan: *Take a deep breath* And Go!
Linka: You heard the man, Lars Jr.!
[Lars Jr. fired a Dark Pulse at the Pot mixing in its contents.]
Lynn: *Sniff sniff* I think it's ready.
Linka picks up the ball of Basculeion's favorite food.
Iscan: Both the aroma and the shape are...perfect! It's the perfect ball of Basculegion Food! Then let us make for Ginkgo Landing. We can summon Basculegion there...
[They reached Ginkgo Landing Palina and the Growlithe pups were there.]
Palina: Hello, Iscan.
Iscan: O-oh, Palina! I...I thought you said we shouldn't be seen together?
Palina: I'm sure Linka and her brothers can keep a secret. Besides, both I and the Growlithe pups were eager to meet with the great Basculegion again.
Iscan: I see... Well in that case, let me summon Basculegion.
[He pulls out a Castelia Flute and plays it. Something in the water comes out a approaches them. A large green bass with a red ghostly tail appears.]
Basculegion: Have you bought my snack?
Iscan: Go on, Linka. You can give the food to Basculegion now.
[Linka threw the ball of food to Basculegion. The pokemon caught it.]
Iscan: Oh.
Basculegion: Yummy! Nom! Nom! Nom!
Palina: The great Basculegion...
Iscan: O-oh... Thank goodness... I was a little worried about whether Basculegion would accept this favor... So, uh, Linka... You should let Basculegion hear your playing.
Linka: Right.
[Linka plays her Castelia Flute and Basculegion opened his heart to her.]
Basculegion: I shall cross any lake, river, or ocean you need transporting over. Take this as my thanks for feeding me.
[Basculegion hands Linka a blue plate.]
Linka: I knew you'll give me a plate!
Basculegion: It's called the Splash Plate.
Iscan: Now you can ride Basculegion across Tranquility Cove and head to Firespit Island.
Big Growlithe: Yay you!
Palina: My congratulations to you, Linka.
Small Growlithe: Me too!
Iscan: Palina... Do you want to tell them.
[Palina nods.]
Palina: I mentioned to you before how the previous lord rescued his Growlithe pup. During that incident, Iscan and Basculegion saved my life as well. Since then, I've felt a great deal of affection for Iscan here. I truly adore him... But I know there are those who speak ill of me behind my back... So I try to meet with Iscan where there are no prying eyes, to preserve his reputation.
Iscan: W-well, I was just doing what any decent person would do when I saved you...
Palina: Perhaps...but nonetheless. After that day, I found the strength to accept Growlithe as he is and not force him to become the next lord. And it was all thanks to the courage you showed me, Iscan.
Iscan: Ah... Perhaps we should save this discussion for another time, after all.
Small Growlithe: Awwwwww...
?: That white haired kid and guy with the Duskull shirt again?
[The others turn around to find Misfortune Sisters in front of them.]
Charm: I bring good luck to my sisters wherever I go—and ill luck to anyone who crosses our paths. I'm the eldest, and I'll be your unlucky Charm!
Clover: Thought you spotted a four-leaf clover? Well, I'll soon have you seeing double! I'm the middle sister, and I'm one Clover you can't pick!
Coin: Heads, I win, and tails, you lose—you've got no chance in this game of fortunes. I'm the youngest, Coin, but I'm definitely not your good-luck piece.
Misfortune Sisters: We're the Miss Fortune sisters, known across the frigid land of Hisui—and your luck's just run out!
Lynn: Who are those girls?
Luke: They're the ones who tied me up and stole my axe. Linka saved me from them.
Charm: Now get ready to hand over that Growlithe!
Palina: You want to take...my partner? If your aim is to pester us with bad jokes, those ridiculous introductions of yours were more than enough!
Iscan: Y-yes! Exactly what she said!
Linka: No way you're taking Growlithe! *Steps in front of Growlithe and prepares to grab a pokeball* You have to battle me.
Charm: Now Gengar!
[A purple pokemon appears behind the Growlithe.]
Gengar: Surprise!
[Gengar snatches the Big Growlithe]
Big Growlithe: Ah!
Little Growlithe: Big G? Where you go?
[They turns around again]
Little Growlithe: *gasp*
[Gengar was holding the Big Growlite.]
Clover: Thank for the Growlithe fools!
Charm: We three can't live the kind of lives we want because of narrow-minded groups like the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan. If we want to live freely in the great land of Hisui, we need to have powerful Pokémon on our side.
Clover: Don't worry—we'll make sure this pup grows up nice 'n' strong. We'll even make him a lord for ya!
Coin: Let's take the mutt to our camp and get to work. No one will bother us in a place so miserably hot.
[Gengar drags the Misfortune sisters into the shadows and head to Firespit Island]
Palina: What?! No! Growlithe!
Linka: Well at least they didn't take the Lord's pup.
Iscan: What should we do, Guys? This is an emergency! R-right? B-but, uh, you see... I've never...I've never actually had my partner battle before...
Palina: Please... I beg you: help us. That Growlithe is a very, very dear Pokémon to me. Please save him...
Iscan: They said they were going to a place where nobody would bother them... The only place around the Cobalt Coastlands that seems suitable...is Firespit ! Now that you have Basculegion to help you cross the water, you can reach that island, too! Please. Could you find it in you to help Palina?
Linka: Of course.
Palina: Oh, thank you, thank you! You're so kind! We will make our way to Firespit Island as well.
Iscan: No, Palina... You should wait here and keep little Growlithe safe. I'm sure he needs you right now. Though...I'm not sure if I want to go to an island with l-lightning and bandits and... No! Come, Linka, Luke and Lynn! No time to think! We must go now! You should also know that Basculegion can jump from the water's surface—and then jump once again in the air to go even higher! You can throw items from Basculegion's back, too. In your case, I guess that would mean throwing Poké Balls to catch Pokémon. Honestly...I have to admit I'm still a little scared. Do you think you could head over first?
Linka: Absolutey.
[Linka summons Basculegion. She and her brothers hop board his back.]
Linka: Let's go Basculegion!
Basculgeion: Right away.
[The siblings find a blue manta ray pokemon with a smiley face on its back.]
Linka: Let's test it out, go pokeball!
[She catches the pokemon]
Luke: Say here that pokemon's a Mantyke. So what about those.
[They see a group of black pufferfish with dashes of magenta.]
Linka: We might have to battle them.
[Linka throws Beach's pokeball at pokemon. Luke sents out Note while Lynn sents out Ruthie]
Qwilfish: Attack!
Linka: Use Powder Snow!
[Beach uses powder snow on the Qwilfish giving it frostbite. One of the Qwilvish uses Barb Barrage on Beach poisoning her.]
Luke: Note use Mimic!
[Note copied Qwilfish's Barb Barrage]
Lynn: Ruthie, Use Double Hit!
[Ruthie uses Double Hit on one of the Qwilfish. One of them uses Poison Jab on Note while another uses Water Pulse on Ruthie.]
Luke: Use Barb Barrage!
Linka: Powder Snow again!
[Note uses Barb Barrage on one Qwilfish while Beach uses Powder Snow on another.]
Loud Kids: Go pokeball!
[They each catch a Qwilfish.]
Linka: Alright! One for each of us! Now let's head to Firespit Island!
