The Future's Young Fingerprint

Larousse City, Hoenn. 29th June, 2023. 12:03am.

The group took one last turn as they reached their destination: a house with wooden boards nailed on just about everywhere. May turned to Older Dawn. "Where are we?" she panted, tired from all the running. Older Dawn scratched her head. "I swear it was right here…" she muttered to herself. "Dawn!" Older Paul groaned. "This is their old house! How do you not remember this shit?" he exclaimed.

"Sorry!" Older Dawn huffed. Drew folded his arms. "Well, since we wasted so much time coming here," he shot Older Dawn a look. "what do we do now? We're out of food and almost out of water. We can't go on." he stated. Leaf nodded. "He's right. We can't," she agreed. Gary tapped his chin. "I think I know what we can do…" he trailed off, a plan formulating in his head.

Gary grabbed a stick and started writing onto the dry soil itself.

"Okay, so," Gary started. "Basically, I've assigned everyone tasks; Older Dawn, Older Paul, and Belle will find shelter, because Belle needs to rest," everyone nodded. "For water, Leaf, Paul, and I will try to find a source of clean water. We three all have a water filter in bags, so we should be good. For food, I picked May and Ash, because they will literally run sideways down a building just for food. Dawn, you're the peacemaker. Stop these idiots from fighting if you have to," Gary instructed, as Dawn saluted him. "Misty, Drew, you're in charge of fire because Drew has a fire pokémon, and Misty has a ton of water pokémon, just in case something goes wrong." he said, throwing the stick away. "So, we good?"

"Let's do this!"

"Alright!"

"I'm in!"

"Let's go!"

Gary grinned. "Ready? And…break!"
