Today, we find Sarah and her family, joined by the Riders of Berk, in a vast field of beautiful flowers in a corner of Melemele Island for a family outing together, Yamper, Skitty, and the other younger Pokemon and dragons (including the likes of Spice, Ginger, Aster, Azure, Warner, and Petunia) being the most excited of them all as they would all get to spend family time together with no dangers to the world to keep them at bay or in battle mode often. This was made all the more satisfying with the recent confirmation of the final destruction of Venjix/Evox which meant humanity and human civilization in their world could continue to thrive for as long as it they wish because of their actions and those of their friends, Grid Battleforce, and the Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
"Race ya down the hill, gang!"
"Hey, no fair!"
"Wait up, Blitzy!"
"You're going too fast!"
"You're not gonna win this time!"
"Yeah, we're gonna beat you today!" laughed Blitz, Vaporeon, Curly, Fennekin, Cyndaquil, and Tepig as they and the rest of the Pokemon horseplayed without a care in the world, all of them and their friends feeling happy to be free from Evox's evil, once and for all.
As usual, and with the end of Evox following their adventures with the Power Rangers Beast Morphers, Sarah, Blitz, and their entire family are all full of energy and playing happily.
Yes, they were all having the time of their lives with the world safe from the likes of him and Team Eclipse and they were all going to make the most out of every day of their new and peaceful lives. The younger Pokemon continued playing until they reached another slightly steeper hill in front of an undisturbed meadow of flowers with their human family joining them from behind before the Pokemon bumped into each other with Oshawott ramming into Axew, who ran into Yamper and then bumped into the rest of their group and Blitz, screaming before they landed in a heap of limbs, tails, and fluffy ears.
"Oh, boy..."
"Ouch."
"Oh, dear!" Sarah, Race, and Delilah winced as they and the rest of their family joined the downed Pokemon.
"Are you younguns alright?" Tsukumaro asked the groaning Pokemon as they picked themselves up.
"We're okay, Uncle..." Axew replied before he gave an unamused glare at Oshawott and growled, "Seriously, Oshawott, sometimes you don't even know where to look before you leap."
"Whoops, uh, hehe... Sorry," Oshawott apologized, grinning sheepishly with an embarrassed blush and shrug.
"No harm, no foul, Bro," Tepig smiled reassuringly while some of the other younger and baby Pokemon and dragons laughed happily before Snivy looked around and saw where they currently are.
"Hey, guys... I don't think we're at home anymore," she replied as everybody soon noticed they were in the unknown field of flowers.
"Check it out, guys! Look at all the flowers!"
"But, where are we? I don't remember seeing a meadow like this before," Fishlegs and Astrid said, the latter looking curiously around the meadow, not recognizing it as a part of Melemele Island.
"Weird," Stryka admitted.
"Island Girl, is this meadow anywhere within the one where we're having our picnic?" Race quizzed as Sarah brought out a map and looked at where they are only to discover that the meadow they were in wasn't part of the one they were at for their family outing and having a picnic at.
"That's funny, I can't find this place on my map. It must be a place that only Pokemon know of," the princess replied.
"You mean where we are is not charted anywhere along that map or Rotoscope's GPS?" quizzed Draco, prompting Sarah to shake her head.
"What is this place? So bizarre and almost like a floral paradise untouched by human society before we came along," admitted Cocoa, impressed with the meadow's beauty.
"That's because it is a paradise, friends~!" cooed a friendly voice as a Pokemon frolicked through the flowers cutely and unseen.
Everybody gasped at the sound of the friendly yet angelic and sweet voice calling out to them as they looked around and Oshawott had hearts for eyes as he took in the sounds of the owner's voice, going Casanova as he fell in love with whoever spoke up around them.
"What was that?" asked Frosmoth in a hushed voice.
"I didn't say anything."
"Hmm?"
"Don't look at me."
"I didn't hear anything," puzzled Altaria, Fennekin, Phanpy, and Buneary as everybody else shared confused glances and shrugs at each other.
"Come! Come and play with me! We'll play my favorite game: Hide-and-Seek~!"
Hear that sweet, beautiful-sounding voice?
"There it is again," Blaze blinked in surprise, looking around for the voice's owner.
"Where is it coming from?" questioned Orpheus.
"Who's saying that, anyway?" Toothless puzzled in confusion.
"Me thinks voice sound like Auntie Syl," Spice cooed with Petunia nodding and babbling in agreement.
"That does sound like me but my voice isn't as high as that," Sylveon admitted.
"Maybe you had a twin sister you didn't even know about," theorized Goodra curiously.
"Highly improbable given that we are the only family she has ever known for as long as she lived and we all know nothing about that voice's owner, Young Goodra," Noctowl rebutted.
"Strange..."
"Strange, indeed," Umbreon and Stormfly concurred as Blitz, Curly, and Bella concentrated, lifting their ears to pick up any signs of rustling leaves, flowers, and petals just as a figure of sorts danced through the flowers, diving through them, and disappearing beneath them.
"Come and find me~!" the figure cooed sweetly.
"We got it!"
"The owner's nearby!"
"Whoever it is that spoke is right next to us and sounded similar to Sylveon, we know it!" the three Alolan Pikachu confirmed.
"They're right; by the sound of it and since Star and I can sense her aura, we're not alone," Cobalt confirmed as he and Star soon felt the owner's aura.
"Her aura's definitely similar to that of Sylveon but it's not exactly the same," the Shiny Lucario confirmed.
"But, who could be making that sound?" Silver wondered.
"I say we split up and try to find who's been calling us since we got here. Split up into groups or individuals and look for the owner of the voice we just heard; if you see her anywhere, give a little whistle to let us know," Tai Lung suggested, leaving everybody else to nod and split up as they searched the meadow for the owner of the voice that spoke up but not turning up anything despite their best efforts.
"She's not over here!"
"I got nuttin'!"
"We've turned up empty here!"
"Not over here, either!" Axew, Snotlout, Meatlug, and Skiddo called from their groups in different parts of the meadow.
"Seriously, trying to find this Pokemon is like..."
"...A game of Needle-in-the-Haystack," remarked Race and Asha as they and their Pokemon and dragons along with Nikki and James searched for the owner of the voice.
Running together, Robbie, Bella, Curly, and Blitz searched all over their part of the meadow with the three Alolan Pikachu leading the way and Robbie trailing behind as he asked, "Are you three sure you heard the owner of the voice just now and not somebody trying to prank call us?"
"We're sure, Robbie-poo! She's got to be around here somewhere, we just heard her!"
"Our species' ears don't lie and we're going to find the owner of that voice we heard no matter what!" nodded Bella and Blitz as they continued to run and look around.
"She couldn't have gone too far!" Blitz added before the owner giggled and cooed as she appeared in the blink of an eye alongside them in the flowers and told them, "Getting warmer, hehe!"
"Hey!" Blitz gawked as the four of them stopped and walked a few steps forward while keeping their eyes and ears open.
"Over here~!" the owner called again, appearing from behind before she disappeared on them once more.
"Huh? Where did you go, I know you called us here!" Curly begged as they turned around in surprise.
"We all do!" added Bella in agreement.
"Hello!"
"Anybody out there?" Blitz and Robbie called out.
"Right here, children," the voice's owner laughed as some familiar ribbons covered Blitz's eyes.
"H-Hey! Who turned out the lights?" Blitz blinked with a yelp before he, Bella, Curly, and Robbie turned to the owner of the voice which was none other than a wild female Sylveon.
"Whoa...!" the four of them breathed in awe at the wild Intertwining Pokemon before Curly whistled for everybody to come over.
"Hi, there! I'm Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokemon and I live here in these parts. But, you can call me, 'Pixie'," the wild Sylveon, Pixie, greeted warmly as the rest of the royal family gathered to see her.
"Hi..." Robbie replied, blushing from underneath his rags until he was nudged by a jealous Bella before he gave an innocent whistle as he gulped and looked away in embarrassment and she glared at her Mimikyu mate.
"Oh, look at that! A Sylveon!"
"She's such a darling!" Nikki and Delilah cooed at Pixie.
"Well, what do you know? She was the one who was calling all of us from around the meadow," Doug chuckled in amusement.
"A female and wild one, at that," remarked an impressed Asha.
"Pretty, pretty, pretty!" cooed the dragonets cutely.
"Arceus, help me... YOU'RE SO CUTE!" Oshawott breathed before he gained pupil-shaped hearts at the sight of Pixie. "Your bows, your ribbons, your whole body covered from nose to tail in pink! You're so gorgeous!"
Waiting for the Alolan Royal Family is Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokemon, named Pixie.
Snivy and Tepig gave each other deadpanned looks as the former whacked him with her Vine Whip and dragged him back just as Tepig told him, "Not, happening, Bro."
"Gee, I'm glad to hear it. So, what are your names?" Pixie giggled as she looked at the royal family.
"Oh, Sorry. My name's Blitz and this is my mate, Curly. This is Robbie and Bella and these are all of the dragons and Pokemon in our family. And, these humans with us are my human mother and her own family along with her and her boyfriend's Beast Bots: Solar and Athena," Blitz introduced as the entire group greeted Pixie in turn.
"Ooh, so cute! You all look adorable!" Pixie cried, cutely prancing around the Pokemon like she was doing a dance. "Say, you all look lost here. If you like, would you like to join me and my friends for dinner and a sleepover at my house?"
"Sleepover!"
"Fun, fun, fun!"
"Dinner!"
"Another party, sweet!"
"PARTY!"
"Great!"
"Awesome!"
"Sounds fun!" some of the younger dragons and Pokemon cheered.
"Gee... That's nice of you, Pixie. I hope you won't mind," Sarah blinked in surprise.
"I don't mind, no trouble at all. It's not every day my friends and I have royal guests such as you and your family," Pixie reassured warmly.
"Please, Mommy! Can we go?"
"Can we?" pleaded Eevee and Aster.
"I won't mind checking this house that she has out."
"Must be a wonderful place if she wants to have all of us for dinner."
"And, a sleepover if she wants to accommodate us for the night," Inferhound, Aurequine, and Chen Li smiled.
"I could see what this whole house place Little Pixie is willing to show us with her dinner invitation," Raja concurred.
"Can we come?"
"It'd be more fun and a bit safer!" grinned Hookfang and Tyrantrum.
"What do you say, Master? Should we take her up on her generous offer? There's a 100% chance of fun we can have now that the likes of Team Eclipse and Evox are gone forever," chuckled Calculator to Race.
"Please?" finished Kion and Kiara to Sarah as the young couple looked at each other.
"Oh, well... If we must, we must," Race sighed, shrugging while Sarah chuckled and nodded her head.
"HOORAY!"
"Alright, let's go!" Fennkin and Buneary chirped happily.
"Yep-yep-yep! We're going to Ms. Pixie's house!" Stufful peeped eagerly.
"But, what'll we do about food?"
"Or, drinks?" Proud and Ziracon reminded.
"You don't have to worry about having to cook, somebody's already taken care of that and everything's prepared for tonight. Now, let's not waste any time, my friends! Follow me, spit-spot!" Pixie cooed, still smiling as she led the way.
To the cheers of the younger and baby Pokemon and dragons, the entire royal family followed after the wild Intertwining Pokemon with a lovestruck Oshawott nearly left behind as he realized that everybody else was leaving.
"H-Huh? Hey, wait for me!" he cried as everybody followed Pixie to her house.
Pixie led everybody to a nearby building that looked more like a mansion along a mountain side but its design was most intriguing; the mansion was surprisingly built into the ground as the top was shaped like an Eevee's head with many trees sprouting from different levels and vivid holes that are seen on the sides leading downward and there was even a staircase leading up to it and a small grass slide.
"Ta-Da~!" she proudly presented, causing her guests of honor to gasp and coo in awe and wonder at the sight of the mansion.
This place is Pixie's house, the Eevee Mansion. Tonight, she and her friends are going to have a dinner party and sleepover in honor of having the Alolan Royal Family at their doorstep.
"Look at this place!"
"It's huge!"
"House big!"
"Very big!"
"Do you and these friends of yours seriously live in there?!"
"You call that a house?" Blitz, Luna, Spice, Ginger, Milotic, and Zorua gasped.
"Oh, Pixie, this is just wonderful!"
"I must say, you and your friends have quite a taste for architecture if you made it like that."
"And, it's almost shaped like an Eevee!"
"Amazing!"
"Super!" Delilah, Doug, Asha, Nikki, and James cried.
"Goodness!" Tsukumaro balked.
"Is this really where you live, Pixie?" Sarah gaped at Pixie.
Pixie giggled as she replied, "It does look like a giant Eevee but it's home, we loved it as soon as we finished it."
"It's massive..."
"It looks twice as big as our huts!"
"Good Thor," Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Astrid cried in awe.
"This giant penthouse could take us years to cover the whole thing individually!"
"How many rooms have you all got?" Flygon and Snowflake puzzled.
"You'll see, there are some Pokemon I would like you to meet first," Pixie replied as she turned to the house and called out to someone inside. "Oh, Fay! Come on down, I have some guests coming over for dinner tonight!"
"Hey, Fay! Did you say we're having guests tonight?" peeped a little brown Eevee excitedly.
"Yes, we're having the Alolan Royal Family and their friends from the Barbaric Archipelago tonight! Why not come down and meet them?"
"Okay, I'm on my way! WHEEEEEE, HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" the female Eevee, Fay, chirped as she slid down on the grass slide to meet the royal family.
One of Pixie's friends, an Eevee named Fay, is coming to greet them!
"YAY! W-W-Wha-HEY! WATCH OUT!" Fay cried in alarm as she flung off the slide and was heading towards Axew.
"Huh? WHOA!" Axew gasped as Fay crashed into him and they tumbled until they hit a nearby pumpkin, both of them groaning before they soon looked at each other for a moment before they began play-fighting, hitting it off immediately.
"I'll get you, ha-ha!"
"Oh, no! No! AH! Ha-ha-ha-ha!" laughed the pair together while they played before Axew accidentally knocked Fay over to Pixie as the wild Fairy Type helped her back on her feet.
"Fay loves to play, always on hand to meet everybody coming here and have a play date with them. Fay, say 'hello' to Princess Sarah and her family," Pixie smiled as she introduced the royal family to Fay.
"How do you do?" Fay greeted.
"Hi, Fay! I'm called Curly!"
"My name's Bella!"
"I'm Robbie."
"And, I'm Blitz!"
"EEEEEE! Oh, my Arceus! You're all so cute!" squealed a female Jolteon that appeared and pounced on Oshawott before giving him a hug while electrocuting him (making him scream with pain from his greatest weakness), seeing him as the most adorable and surprising everybody gathered. "OH! And, you, my little sea otter, you're just cutest!"
Pixie's Jolteon friend, Bernetta, is so friendly and affectionate, sometimes, she ends up giving her friends a playful shock.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! THE PAIN, THE PAIN!" Oshawott shrieked before the Jolteon, Sparkler, stopped and Pixie had to move her back to allow the poor Sea Otter Pokemon to recover as he was smoking with soot and groaning in pain. "Make the pain stop, ugh..."
"...Oops," peeped Bernetta sheepishly.
"Forgive her, she does that all the time when visitors come given the fact that she deeply cares for us and she loves us having new playmates over as well," chuckled Pixie sheepishly. "This is my Jolteon friend, Bernetta. Bernetta, these fellas here are the Alolan Royal Family and their Viking friends, the Riders of Berk. I've invited them over for dinner and a sleepover tonight."
Bernetta was surprised and amazed as she called out to the group before her and her friends, "Whoa! The Alolan Royal Family and the Riders of Berk?! You guys are all over the human web! You guys couldn't have picked a better time to come to our house for dinner!"
"You girls are all great! I want to explore more of your mansion and play in it!" Axew declared with a cheer as he rejoined everybody else.
"Me, too/Yeah, me/Me, please/ Me, me, me!" the Fidough sisters chirped happily as they joined Bernetta and jumped up and down playfully.
"Can we see your house, please, nya?" Skitty added.
Bernetta and Fay nodded as the latter said, "Sure! There are lots of fun things to do in our house! You can meet some of our other friends inside as well, come on!"
"YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!" the younger Pokemon cheered as they and Skitty followed Bernetta and Fay inside Eevee Mansion with the dragonets and Petunia following soon after to join in on the fun.
"Petunia, children, Fay, Axew, Bernetta! Don't go too far now!"
"Wait for us!" David and Donna (former queen) called as they went into the mansion while Oshawott groaned and fell down on the ground before he picked himself up and chased after them, furious about Bernetta's unorthodox and yet playful "greeting".
"AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH! THAT'S IT, I'M GONNA TEAR YOU APART!" Oshawott screamed as he scrambled inside the mansion after Bernetta, Fay, and the younger Pokemon and baby dragons with them. "BERNETTA! COME BACK HERE! WE'RE NOT FINISHED YET! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR SHOCKING ME!"
"After them!"
"Oshawott, stop!"
"Calm down, Oshawott!"
"Oshawott!"
"Oshawott, come back!" Race, Sarah, Asha, Snivy, and Tepig cried as they, their family, the Vikings and their dragons, and Pixie all went after the group to stop Oshawott from losing his cool and chasing after the dragons and Pokemon with Bernetta and Fay to make sure they don't get into trouble.
"Man, look at this place! It's even bigger on the inside than it was on the outside!"
"It's gigantic!" Phanpy and Appletun admitted in amazement, looking around the interior of Pixie, Bernetta, and Fay's home as everybody ran.
"Wow! Is your house always this big?" Axew asked Fay and Bernetta as he and his group ran to the first room they want to play in, looking around the mansion's interior.
"Yeah, there's lots of space here and it's great that we have this place all to ourselves!" Bernetta grinned.
"This right here leads to Gureisha's room! Hope she doesn't mind us playing in here for a minute!" Fay informed as they went up a staircase that led to a room full of ice, icicles, and beautiful ice sculptures that are the works of a master ice sculptor as they slipped and slid on the ice.
"WHEEEEEEEE!"
"WHOOOO! Come on, Axew! This is fun!" Fay and Berenetta cheered as they slid on the ice with Axew laughing along before he nearly lost his footing and grabbed the icicle he crashed into before he could fall just as Oshawott arrived and looked around for Bernetta and the dragonets and a happily-babbling Petunia followed, flapping their wings to catch up with the Eevee and Jolteon.
"Phew! Boy, is it slippery in here, hmm? Whoa," Axew commented before he looked at a giant ice sculpture before him that had a female Glaceon who is another one of Pixie's friends, Gureisha, on top who was preening herself and stretching after supposedly finishing her latest sculpture.
This is the room of Pixie's Glaceon friend, Gureisha! What a beautiful ice sculpture she created!
"Ahh... Well, that's another masterpiece finished. Nothing like a little ice and snow and a few crafty paws and tail like my own to carve such beautiful art pieces of winter's beauty and-Hmm? Huh? What the...?" Gureisha sighed with contentment until she heard Fay, Bernetta, Axew, and their group laughing happily as they played as well as Oshawott's angry yelling before she looked down and saw the Pokemon and dragons down below and the royal family, the Riders, and Pixie enter and become enthralled at her room and works as well.
"What is this place?"
"It's beautiful!" Asha and Sarah gasped in wonder.
"Oh, look at all of those ice sculptures! So cute!" Nikki gushed as she looked at one of the sculptures Gureisha had made and set up in her room next to her, much to the dismay of her Lucario.
"I wonder who could've made them. You have to be insane to devote so much time and energy to create all of these ice flowers," Kommo-o thought.
"Oh, you like them? My friend, Gureisha, made them. She's the artist out of all of us and she loves everything ice and snow," Pixie replied just as everybody winced from hearing Oshawott crash into them. "However..."
"Leap-Frog! Leap-Frog! Whoever falls off of Gureisha's sculptures first without destroying them gets everybody snacks after dinner!" Bernetta chirped with a smile as she and her group cheered and played happily as they jumped on top of the Glaceon's sculptures despite accidentally toppling them over.
"BERNETTA-OW! YOU LITTLE-OUCH! COME BACK HERE-OW!" Oshawott ranted as he chased after them while outright destroying some of Gureisha's works, still wanting his revenge for her "greeting" prior.
"Oh, no!"
"Uncle Oshawott, stop!"
"What are you doing?!"
"You're dessssstroying Msssssss. Gureissssssha'ssssss worksssssss!"
"You know we're not supposed to destroy personal private property!"
"What is she gonna say?!" Blitz, Fennekin, Skiddo, Seviper, Snivy, and Tepig freaked, seeing Oshawott destroying some of Gureisha's sculptures in his chasing Bernetta and her party.
"Be careful, all of you!"
"Bernetta, Fay, kids, no roughhousing in here!"
"Mind those ice sculptures-bzt!"
"Come down from there!"
"Are you all crazy?!"
"Come back down this instant!" Curly, David, Manteon, Aqua, Apollo, and Amber called out to Bernetta, Fay, and the others.
"Oh, my!" Pixie feared as she looked up and saw an angry Gureisha preparing to unleash her fury on the culprit who was defiling her art pieces.
"Who dares...?" she growled warningly.
"...Please forgive her, everybody. She takes great pride in her artwork and hates anybody that even tries to destroy them and has no respect for art, hehe," Pixie laughed sheepishly to the royal family, unsure of what to say next.
"Look out!"
"Gangway!"
"Coming through!" laughed Fay, Axew, and Bernetta along with the dragonets and Petunia as they ran and flew past without hitting any more of Gureisha's sculptures and no longer hopping on them.
"OW-OW-OW! WHY, YOU LITTLE-!" Oshawott screamed, crashing through the sculptures in front of the group and Pixie as he passed.
Everybody gasped, screamed, and covered their eyes in horror and panic as Sarah called to her Sea Otter Pokemon, "No, Oshawott! Stop! Come back here!"
"Your Oshawott has some anger management issues, Island Girl!"
"You should really give him therapy lessons, Sis!" Race and Asha remarked.
"Yeah, like Astrid when she's having an off day," Snotlout joked, causing an unimpressed Astrid to punch him in the stomach in retaliation. "OWW!"
"WINTER HATER!" Gureisha roared, unleashing Ice Shard and firing them at Oshawott, trapping him in a block of ice while he was frozen in place and his eyes bulged out in shock and surprise.
The other Pokemon and Eternatus laughed at Oshawott being bested by the angry Fresh Snow Pokemon as the frozen Unova/Hisui Water Starter then slid out of her room and landed upside down in the hallway.
Still having fun and laughing their cares away, Fay, Bernetta, Aster, Azure, Warner, Spice, Ginger, Skitty, Petunia, and the Fidough Sisters jumped down the hole and exited Gureisha's room before they ran off, smiling and giggling at Oshawott's awkward position.
After delivering a quick apology to the Ice Type Eeveelution with the promise of making some new ice sculptures with her after dinner and their sleepover, Sarah, her family, and Pixie rejoined Oshawott as she looked over the angry Sea Otter Pokemon.
"Oh, dear! Is he alright, Princess?" Pixie asked, concerned.
"He's fine but he's kind of a hothead whenever his personal pride is wounded. You saw what happened after Bernetta accidentally shocked him when she met us," the little princess replied.
"Oh, great... I guess we Viking's got ourselves a distant animal descendant," Hiccup added sarcastically.
"Meh, I'm sure he's fine. That runt's got a fire in his heart that can melt and break through all that ice," Ruffnut replied indifferently as everybody saw Oshawott breaking free and chasing after Bernetta and her group again, hoping to get his revenge on her.
On the far left side of Eevee Mansion, in the midst of the tree branches hovering over the cliffside, there was a female Leafeon who is the fifth of Pixie's friends, Rifia, napping in her bedroom shaped like an acorn which was connected to her main room that looked like an upside down like a gourd bottle. The female Verdant Pokemon scratched an itch off of her left ear as she snoozed in the dappled sunlight just before a brand new female Eeveelution appeared beside her, this one having a green coloration with multiple flowers dotted on her thick and bushy tail and a string of flowers around her neck like a collar.
Look! Hanging from a big tree, that's the room of Pixie's Leafeon friend, Rifia, and her roommate, the Flourshing Pokemon: Fleureon! But, Fleureon likes to be called Fleur, for short.
Fleureon gently soothed Rifia as she gently brushed her back but Rifia's ears pricked up as she woke up and soon heard Bernetta, Fay, Skitty, the dragonets, Petunia, and the Fidough Sisters' happy babbling and laughing as they arrived in their room and they looked outside. The Pokemon and dragons in question kept on laughing as they continued playing, running into their room and avoiding the vines and leaves that decorated it as Oshawott caught up to them.
Bernetta and her party jumped down into Fleur and Rifia's main gourd room to hide, hoping Oshawott wouldn't see them just as he got on top and knew he had them caught. Sarah and the rest of her group finally arrived on one of the large branches overlooking the Grass Types' room (after admiring the leaf base structure and interior leading to their room) and watched as Oshawott started to shake the gourd room, jostling his targets around and unknowingly making some of Rifia and Fleur's stuff fall off of their gourd room.
Bernetta and her party yelped as they were bounced around but Rifia and Fleur moaned and groaned as they tried to hold their ground, the two of them looking like they were going to be seasick.
"Oh, now what's he doing?!"
"Oh, man!"
"This can't end well for Oshawott, dear," Sarah, Blitz, and Delilah winced.
"Uh, Ms. Pixie, what's wrong with your two friends in that big acorn?" Snowflake asked Pixie, looking at Rifia and Fleur and how green they looked (from both a figurative and literal medical standpoint).
"Oh, dear... I suppose you know now that Rifia, Fleur, the sea, and any motion related to it... Well, don't get along with each other," smiled Pixie sheepishly, feeling sorry for Fleur and Rifia as Oshawott continued to rock their room.
"Even for their Grass Type bit," giggled Mew, seeing Rifia and Fleur finally having enough of Oshawott's madness.
"STOP IT!" Rifia raged as she fired Magical Leaf and choked him until he was covered from head to toe in leaves that made him look like a Swadloon having a bad fever, forcing him to brush them off with a majority of them sticking to his fur.
"Why me...?" he moaned miserably, causing some of Sarah's Pokemon and Eternatus to laugh even harder at him while the others with them laughed and grinned sheepishly at his latest predicament while Bernetta, Fay, and their party left to go and play elsewhere.
"Well, I guess that's one way to end the S.S. Sea Otter's maiden voyage," laughed Luna.
"My roommate, Fleur, and I, young man, are not happy... Finding you rocking about and ruining OUR OWN ROOM!" Rifia raged as she went up to their gourd room and lunged forward to attack Oshawott with a Leaf Blade attack.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Oshawott as he bolted away from the angry Verdant Pokemon, making Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and their dragons laugh even harder at him.
"There he goes," Tyson remarked.
"Let's go after them!" Thundereon replied as everybody nodded.
"We're sorry about this, Rifia, Fleur!"
"Hope you can forgive us and Oshawott!" Pixie and Blitz apologized as they all left, leaving the two Grass Types to sigh heavily.
This time, as they returned to the hallway, Axew happily took the lead and ran as fast as his little legs can carry him while the others with him quickly followed from behind. They couldn't keep up, however, and called for him to slow down but Tsukumaro's Tusk Pokemon was having so much fun with all the excitement he and his party had so far, he didn't hear them and turned right down a dark hallway.
He suddenly stopped and opened his eyes as he then sensed and saw what looked to be five glowing yellow circles approaching him from the darkness. Axew shivered with fright as he eyed the figure and its rings coming toward him as he took a step back but as it got closer and it didn't stop, that's when he finally snapped, immediately running back the way he came and screaming at the top of his lungs!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! HEEEELP!" he wailed as he rushed past his startled party.
"Axew?"
"What's wrong?" Fay and Bernetta peeped in surprise as they, the dragonets, Skitty, and the Fidough Sisters looked back in bewilderment.
"A MONSTER, HE'S GONNA EAT-UH?!" Axew began as he ran until he stopped again and saw Oshawott, having escaped from Rifia and Fleur, still in his costume as he angrily chased after his targets again.
"Wha-!? LEAF MONSTER!" Axew squealed in fright as he turned tail and ran straight on, Fay and Bernetta following after as they also screamed in fright of him in his costume, thinking he was a monster as well.
"COME BACK HERE!" Oshawott raged as he went after them.
The only ones who were not taken by surprise by him were the Fidough Sisters, Skitty, the dragonets, and Petunia as they ran and flew after the trio and Oshawott, thinking they were playing a new game they want to be part of, unknowingly passing the figure Axew saw which was a normal and regular-sized Umbreon (who was yet another of Pixie's friends named Mystery) that came out of the tunnel as his rings dimmed out when he came to the light.
Those were the rings of Mystery the Umbreon that were glowing!
As he watched the group earlier leave, he was approached by Pixie and the royal family as Sarah asked me, "Excuse me, have you seen a couple of Pokemon and dragons coming through here?"
"That way. You can't miss them in Busuta and Seebeon's room," Mystery replied simply, pointing them to his right.
"Thank you. Come on, guys!" Sarah thanked as the royal family quickly followed with everybody else scampering after her.
"Thanks for the help!"
"Thanks!"
"Thank you!" Race, Asha, and Blitz added as they left.
"Thank you, Mystery!" cooed Pixie as she gracefully hopped after her new friends while Mystery watched them go.
After reuniting, Bernetta, Fay, Axew, the Fidough Sisters, Skitty, the dragonets, and Petunia ran into a room that's made out of rock and stone just as Oshawott caught up to them, chasing all of them around the den that's in the center of the room. Inside the den, there were two Pokemon with one of them snoozing inside and the other watching over it. These were a sleeping female Flareon named Busuta and a new male Eeveelution named Seebeon who was around Bernetta and Jolteon's size but had a fiery red mane, the female Flareon suddenly perking her ears up at hearing two of their friends and some visitors playing around with one of them chasing them angrily around the room and listening with intent.
This is the room of Busuta the Flareon and her roommate, Seebeon, the Electric Fire Pokemon.
She looked at the group passing by along with Seebeon and unlike the confused Electric Fire Pokemon, she was timid in nature as she scooted back and huddled close to him, unsure of what to make of the new faces with Fay and Baretta while he comforted her as best he could.
"Oh... Seebe, those guys with Fay and Baretta, they're... They're scary,**" she cooed in fright.
Don't worry, I'm here,** Seebeon soothed.
However, unlike her roommate, Flareon is very shy, especially when it comes to meeting new Pokemon she never knew before.
Her fears were worsened as Oshawott looked at them for a moment before ignoring the pair, his leaf costume from Rifia's Magical Leaf scaring the living daylights out of her as she screamed, "AAAHHHH! Get 'em out of here!"
When nervous, her body temperature rises and gets hotter and hotter.
"Stop it! I don't know you! You're too scary! TOO SCARY! GO AWAY, GO AWAY!" Flareon shrieked in terror as her body temperature rose through the usage of Heat Wave with Seebeon doing his best to comfort her still (enduring the attack as he's an Electric/Fire Dual Type) while their shared room heats up, the temperature slowly becoming too much for some of the group inside to bear with Sarah and her party also feeling the effects as they entered.
"Oh, god... No more desert heat!" Sarah breathed, already feeling the heat.
"Ugh, this is worse than the desert we trudged through in Ming Wu's video game," panted Race, already sweating.
"Oh, goodness! What blistering heat!"
"Oh, dear!"
"What could've caused such an unnatural phenomenon in here!?" Tsukumaro, Delilah, and Doug cried as they began to heat up and sweat.
"Ow! What the Odin?! Come on, I don't need another burn like the ones I got from Hookfang's Flame Jacket!" snapped Snotlout, alarmed by the temperature of the room from Busuta's Heat Wave attack.
"Ahh... Now, this is my kind of place," sighed Hookfang with a bright smile and contentment as he took in Busuta's Heat Wave.
"Hmm? What wrong with heat?" Spice asked innocently as she, her fellow dragonets, and Petunia looked at their family with confusion, unaffected by the Heat Wave attack.
"What's wrong?! We're all burning up in here, that's what!"
"You're all lucky you're not the ones being baked alive in this oven!" Hurricane and Hydro barked before they plastered themselves onto Goodra to cool off via his natural slime.
"Well, I'm a Fire Type and the heat never bothered me, anyway," Flareon replied to them, tilting her head.
"Yippe for you and all Fire Types and dragons here," panted Vaporeon sarcastically, directing her comment at her Fire Type sister and the rest of the Fire Types dragons with their group that are able to withstand the heat.
"Oh, dear! It's Busuta, she must've gotten herself...terrified from seeing your family with Fay and Baretta. She's always like that when meeting visitors for the first time... So, does this, to drive them, away..." Pixie panted.
"Can't we, do, something, to, help?" breathed Falcon.
"No need... Her roommate, Seebeon... Can protect, her, he's the one, who, can help her, calm down, from, a fright, like, this..."
"Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!" whined Amaura, hating the heat more than ever as she huddled close to Aurorus.
"So, hot... I hate heat, ice, poison, bugs, annoying birds... I hate them," Cobalt groaned wearily before Amber gently grabbed and held him upright to prevent him from passing out and dying from a heat stroke.
Oshawott soon slowed down as the heat got to him but he felt it getting hotter on the tips of his leaf costume from Rifia as the leaves were catching fire which threatened to spread to the rest of him should they continue to burn, making him nervous and quickly break out in a panic.
"Fire? Fire? FIRE, FIRE! I'M ON FIRE! FIRE, FIREEEEEE! HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT!" Oshawott cried in terror as he ran out of the room and forced everybody else to follow him as they tried to calm him down.
"Red alert!"
"Blazin' Oshawott's on the loose!" Astrid and Zenna cried.
"No, Oshawott!"
"Don't panic, Bro!"
"You're a Water Type, stop screaming and listen!"
"Remember the golden rule: Stop, drop, and roll!" Snivy, Tepig, Vaporeon, and Kaji shouted before they all jumped and fell off a ledge at the end of the hallway they were in and into a river, the leaves coming off of Oshawott as they soon find themselves happily enjoying the wet ride.
Seebeon looked around their room and smiled as he gently rubbed and patted Busata as he gently soothed, "It's okay, Busuta, they're gone now. Your Heat Wave scared one of them all and got the others including Fay, Baretta, and Pixie to leave."
Busuta opened her eyes and looked around their room as well, seeing that they were all alone again as he said before sighing with relief, canceling her Heat Wave attack and returning the temperature of their room back to normal.
As for the heroes, they were all having the time of their lives as they enjoyed the wild ride they were having in the rapids and laughing.
"Fun, fun, fun! HE-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE!" giggled Mew with a happy coo.
"WHEEEEEEEEEE!" the dragonets cheered, also enjoying themselves immensely.
Sarah, Blitz, their family, Fay, Pixie, and Baretta are all having so much fun!
Meanwhile, at the end of the river that leads to a small lake outside, a female Espeon named Willow was looking at herself via a reflection on the water.
"Hmm... Beautiful, hmm. Mirror, mirror, in the lake, who's the prettiest Eeveelution of them all? I am," she grinned, immersing herself in her own vanity.
Willow the Espeon just loves looking at its own reflection in the water
Just then, Sarah, her family, Pixie, Baretta, and Fay all shot out of the tunnel and rapids they're in and splashed down the waterfall that went into the lake below, sending water up into the air before dropping back down and throwing a wave her way.
"What's this? Psychic~" she remarked before using her Psychic attack to calm the lake and dispel the wave before it could get her fur wet, dispersing one final droplet and she cooed in satisfaction. "Practically perfect, in every way."
Once they were all safe with much of the group flying again and the rest in the lake below, they were now feeling refreshed and the entire fiasco from before was nothing more than dust in the wind.
"What a ride!"
"That was fun!"
"Let's do it again!" Mew, Blitz, and Oshawatt cried as they all gave hearty laughs.
Then, as they were all laughing, something whooshed past them in the water, catching their attention and forcing Oshawott and the Water Pokemon with him along with Hydro and Hurricane to dive inside and see what's inside. When they all looked, Sarah's Vaporeon gawked in surprise as it recognized the clear lines and sihlouette of herself which was another Vaporeon (but a male that resided in Eevee Mansion) and another male Eeveelution that looked like them but it had the appearance of a lanternfish with gaveling black fur, yellow fins around its head, and the lure of a lanternfish on its head. It would look like a Lanturn at first glance but it's a different Pokemon altogether given that it is an Eeveelution in its own right.
Look, there in the water!
The two final Eeveelutions that live in Eevee Mansion soon jump out of the lake and turned in greeting to the heroes who all stared at them while Fay and Barnetta gave excited smiles and Pixie gave a knowing one, recognizing the Eeveelutions before them.
It's a male Vaporeon! But, who's that Pokemon with him?
"Hello, my name is Shawazu."
"Greetings! Manty the Marianeon, at your service," the male Vaporeon and newly-apt Marianeon greeted.
What an amazing little place this is; Vaporeon and Marianeon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon and Fleureon, Glaceon, Seebeon and Flareon, Sylveon, and Eevee happily live here together at Eevee Mansion!
Meanwhile, while the heroes met the last of the Eeveelutions living in Eevee Mansion, Meowth and Wobbuffet made their way to Eevee Mansion with two baskets choked-full of berries and were on their way to the dining room and kitchen. Surprisingly enough, while they were taking some time away from the rest of their Team Rocket crew, prior to Sarah and her family and the Riders' arrival, they had been approached by Pixie after stumbling across Eevee Mansion and her friends and they were put in charge of the catering for the Eeveelutions' dinner party and sleepover.
"That takes care of all the grub-gathering for the best feast a Pokemon could ever lay its paws on," Mewoth remarked with a grin as he and Wobbuffet arrived with the baskets.
"You said it!" agreed Wobbuffet, also excited for the dinner and sleepover party.
However, the two of them heard some excited cheers and laughs and looked up in confusion. Over on the log swing on Faraway Cliff, they saw several members of the Eevee Mansion family and their unexpected invites having fun as they swung back and forth, laughing and enjoying themselves until the big night.
"Hold on! I don't remember any of us sending out royal dinner invitations, especially to the royal twerpette and her family," the TR Scratch Cat Pokemon spluttered indignantly.
"Yeah! How'd they get here?" gasped Wobbuffet, sharing his sentiments as Shawazu and Manty came out next to them after drying themselves up from their earlier swim in the lake (the former revealed to the heroes to be the eldest brother figure of the Eevee Mansion Eeveelutions).
"Hey, Vaporeon, Maneteon!"
"Please, Meowth, just call us Shawazu and Manty," the wild Bubble Jet Pokemon coolly replied.
"What's gotten you two buzzed up right now, Cat Man?" Manty quizzed curiously.
"We're gonna have mondo problems tonight by having too many mouths to feed! My pal and I only got so many good eats to go around for dinner!"
"Is that what the problem was? Don't worry, I checked on your reserves you've been gathering before we went out on our daily swim and I think we got enough for our dinner party," Manty reassured.
"Shawazu, Manty! Is something the matter?" Willow asked as she, Gureisha, Fleur, and Rifia arrived, getting Meowth's attention as he heard her voice an turned around, falling head over heels for the four of them following his and Wobbuffet's first encounter with them before they were assigned by Pixie to be the caterers for the Eevee Mansion family's dinner and sleepover party.
The four female Eeveelutions just stared awkwardly at Meowth, not knowing about his crush on them as Gureisha and Rifia puzzled, "Uh, is there something wrong with Willow's face...?"
"Did I do something wrong with the herbal treatment earlier?"
Fleur just shrugged while Meowth ignored their awkward words towards him as he gushed to them over their pretty demeanors, "Now, don't you all worry your pretty heads one bit 'cause Chef Meowth will whip ya'll up a meal quick as a one, two, three, four, five-course dinner!"
Moments later, after the awkward moment with Meowth trying to win them over, Wobbuffet and Meowth were preparing dinner as the Patient Pokemon turned to his close friend before he quipped (while he was mixing some dough), "You know, sometimes I wonder if you're as stupid as Jessie and James are, man. Did you just really try to flirt with those four after they came into the picture?"
"Wait 'til they taste this! When I make some homemade dough, the whole world wants a piece of pizza!" Meowth remarked while he pressed some completed mixed dough onto a flat wooden paddle. "Why, not only do I make the best noodles you ever had, my yummy Starship Pizza dough will blast everyone out of this world!"
But, his fantasy was premature as his paw slipped and he dropped the large pizza dough on his entire body, covering him from head to toe in the stuff as he tried to lick his fur clean after pulling himself out of it.
Wobbuffet could only smirk as he taunted, "What did I tell ya? You're just as stupid as Jessie and James."
Dusk fell at Eevee Mansion as the sun casts a golden glow around the forest and it was finally time for dinner as everybody gathered in the outdoor dining room. Somehow, and amazingly, with help from the others from time to time, Meowth and Wobbuffet (to the surprise and amazement of the royal family) were able to cook up a massive feast and lay out all of the dishes they made for everybody.
Gureisha, Willow, and Rifia couldn't help but sniff with delight at the herb pizza they made, looking impressed at the finished product and Busuta eyed some spicy berries, nearly spoiling her dinner as she tried to sneak a bite early on before Shawazu caught her and slapped her muzzle with his tail.
"Busuta," he warned, pawing to one of the other dinner tables while she gave a cute pout.
Now, on friendlier terms with the happy Jolteon and having forgotten about his short-lived grudge against her, Oshawott sat with Barnetta and, talking all sorts of things from crazy battles to weird Pokemon dress styles while Meatlug, Yamper, and Tyrunt started to drool as they stared in delight at some of the rolls Wobbuffet and Meowth made.
Aster, Warner, Azure, Ginger, Spice, and Petunia were sitting with their adoptive families with the baby Equestrian dragon happily babbling and cooing as she tried to reach for a nearby apple on one of the fruit bowls, much to Sarah's amusement as she held her back until everybody's ready to eat.
Fay was with the Eevee Squad as she happily roughhoused and talked with them, running into stumps, rocks, and small trees with Pixie, Umbreon, Curly, Robbie, Blitz, and Guardeon keeping an eye on them to make sure they didn't ruin anything (all of them looking happy for how much fun they're having together).
Satisfied with his and Wobbuffet's work and the fruits of their labor, Meowth nodded and joined the Patient Pokemon to rest from completing their important task.
When it was finally time for everybody to eat, Shawazu took center stage as he stood on a nearby pumpkin and raised his tail to silence his friends and his Eeveelution family before he cleared his throat and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that our dinner sleepover party is about to begin! Before we start, I would like us to give thanks to Chef Meowth and Sous Chef Wobbuffet for all the hard work they've done to make an excellent meal for all of us."
"Thank you, Chef Meowth/Sous Chef Wobbuffet!" the dragons and Pokemon thanked gratefully.
"I gotta admit, Cat Boy, you've got culinary talent."
"I'm surprised you and your pal managed to cook this up before tonight."
"You know, Meowth, you may be a brat from Team Rocket. But, whenever you're away from Jessie and James, you and Wobbuffet are just as gifted as the rest of us even if we don't see eye-to-eye with you," Race, Asha, and Sarah admitted to Meowth as their family and the Riders muttered in agreement, amazed by what he and Wobbuffet had done.
Meowth smiled as he nodded, "No prob. Kay, gang...Dig in."
And, with that, the Eevee Mansion dinner and sleepover party has begun!
With Meowth's approval, it was time for everybody to enjoy the feast; Blitz and Curly shared an apple they picked up and broke apart in half with Brick Break as Robbie and Bella did the same with an orange, Bella giggling cutely at her Mimikyu mate.
Indulging themselves in Meowth and Wobbuffet's amazingly crafted dinner, Sarah's human family was delighted as Tsukumaro, under the watchful and helpful eye of Whimsicott, fed a giggling Togepy some applesauce. Even Aster, Warner, Spice, Ginger, and Azure dug into some pepperoni pizza slices and gave off happy growls and roars at how delicious they were.
Jakanee and Raven had to keep Petunia from getting her little claws on a large piece of pumpkin pie and gave her carrot slices instead which she inadvertently turned into apple slices via her dragon fire before babbling happily as she ate.
"Mmm... This dinner Meowth and Wobbuffet made is delicious!"
"They really do know their way around a kitchen, don't they?" Hashimoto and Ching Wan grinned as they ate some bread rolls and an orange slice.
Of course, Chien-Pao found it difficult to eat as he grew increasingly annoyed with his sword fangs as they got in the way while he did try to eat before he eventually gave up and batted one of them in annoyance.
"Ugh, these meddlesome fangs of mine can be an utter nuisance sometimes," he grumbled before he was handed some Masaladas by Meowth and Wobbuffet as they had prepared food of different kinds for everybody including him.
"Here you are, Big Cat. These should be much easier for you to chow in!"
"No fuss, no muss!" they offered as the Ruinous Pokemon ate one and purred in satisfaction.
"Thank you, young ones," he grunted with a grin as he helped himself to another Masalada.
Oshawott and Barnetta decided to indulge in a little contest between them as they bantered competitively, "Hey, Barnetta, I bet I can fit thirty berries in my mouth at once."
"I'll beat that, I can handle fifty."
"Wanna bet?"
"You're on!"
After the short contest between them, everybody saw that Oshawott had managed to beat Barnetta by stuffing forty-nine berries in his mouth and beating the equally-competitive Jolteon by two as she had forty-seven (all of the berries in their mouths being the same size).
"Fy bin!" Oshawott cheered cheekily with his mouth full.
"Buuffy," grumbled a jealous Barnetta.
"Bro/Please, don't," groaned Tepig and Snivy, both unamused by how competitive their brother is.
After dinner, some of the dinner and sleepover party members are asked to provide some entertainment with Rifia, Gureisha, and Willow going first by performing a three-Eeveelution circus act (with Axew and Fay playing again and getting Busuta to join in after she got comfortable with the new royal guests while Seebeon looked on happily for her) and Oshawott performing as a Water Pokemon dancer and doing various tricks with only Water Gun and Aqua Jet as everybody clapped and cheered for him.
But, in all the excitement, Pixie suddenly realized that only one member of her family and their friends with them was missing from the party roster as she looked around; her Umbreon friend, Mystery, was nowhere to be seen for he wasn't present with everyone at dinner.
"Huh, Mystery?" she peeped in confusion as she looked amongst the crowd, knowing that she and everybody else had agreed for him to provide the final entertainment act of the night before they would all go to bed.
"What's wrong, Pixie?" Blitz asked as she got his attention.
"Mystery's not here, where is he?" she pondered as Curly realized this and looked around for the normal Umbreon.
"You mean he wasn't at dinner when we started eating?" she puzzled to the wild Sylveon.
"No, strange... I sure hope he's okay..."
With the Umbreon in question, he went over to another part of Eevee Mansion that only he knew of which was a cave at the end of the hallway that led up to his room, visible only by a large crack which light seeped in. What the others didn't know was that he had something special planned for his act to close off the night but he needed a little help to achieve it before he would return and meet up with his family and new friends.
"Okay, everybody, It's...Showtime!" he called out to whoever was in the cave after he sat down in front of it.
In the midst of the darkness in the cavern, five glowing eyes appeared that belonged to silhouettes of five Pokemon that appeared before him. Whoever those Pokemon are, only he knew, as what he had planned involving them would be something of a surprise for everyone at the end of the night.
Back in the dining room, the talent show continued as the younger Jungle Pokemon pulled off a dance routine of the "Can-Can" and after they had finished, Cinderace, Cufant, and Arctozolt got additional cheers and laughs out of everybody by staging the classic Three Stooges skit of "Slowly, I Turned" (A.K.A. Niagara Falls) with Cinderace performing as Moe, Arctozolt portraying Larry, and Cufant playing Curly.
Sarah's younger Jungle Pokemon did the "Can-Can" and Cinderace, Cufant, and Arctozolt are performing "Slowly, I Turned" from the Three Stooges! What a pair of remarkable performances!
Meowth soon realized that he and Wobbuffet are up next with their performance for the talent show, still confident about winning Willow, Rifia, Fleur, and Gureisha's hearts as he whispered to Wobbuffet while eying his crushes, "Espeon and the other girls sure do look to be having a great time..."
"That's 'cause they're often attracted by outsiders more so than one-sided crushes," Wobbuffet rebutted.
"I can't let the royal twerpette's jungle babies and Poke-Grimms Three outdo me! It's time for action on my act featuring us, watch me work!"
Moments later, Wobbuffet soon found himself masquerading as a Glaceon while Meowth dressed up like a Leafeon, performing a love skit between them as the Scratch Cat Pokemon is still confident in impressing his crushes despite the Patient Pokemon's gripes about the whole thing.
"Why did I agree to be part of this stupid act of yours?!" Wobbuffet whined as they performed on the stage.
"I am the lovely Leafeon!" Meowth purred, dressed like a Leafeon as he turned to his friend. "With that blue beauty, Glaceon! We'll dance dig, Dane!"
Everybody in the audience, however, looked on awkwardly as they didn't know what to make of it but Willow, Rifia, Gureisha, and Fleur were irked by what they saw out of Meowth and Wobbuffet and their cosplay performance, the Verdant and Fresh Snow Pokemon looking the most insulted out of all of them.
"Somebody kill me..." Rifia groaned, facepalming in disgust.
"Ugly."
"Very ugly," Willow and Fleur simply replied, unamused and unimpressed.
"Ugh, of all the nerve! I've never been so disrespected in my entire life!" Gureisha snorted in anger as she turned away from Meowth and Wobbuffet's costumes.
"Well, that wasn't the point, really..." Wobbuffet pointed out but to no avail.
"Definitely the most ineffective and uncreative."
"Even I can do better than that with my Knight Style," Sarah's Espeon and Sylveon admitted, looking grossed out at the sight.
"Eek! Time for us to turn over a new leaf," Meowth peeped with Wobbuffet whimpering in agreement as Rifia and Gureisha used Energy Ball and Ice Beam to blast the pair away into the forest below as they twinkled out, not putting up with their nonsense anymore.
"We're blasting off in costume!"
"Major OW!" they shrieked as they were gone, gone, gone.
"Oh, dear..." chuckled Pixie sheepishly.
"Ouch," Blitz remarked with an awkward wince.
"Gureisha and Rifia, 1. Meowth and Wobbuffet, 0, in romance," commented Robbie.
"Looks like they made Rifia and Gureisha angry with that one."
"I guess they still have a lot to learn about trying to hit it off with the right girls, mainly Meowth," Bella and Curly said just as Mystery appeared and stood before everyone, surprising everybody else besides Pixie and Sarah's Pikachu couple as nobody had seen him since the dinner party began.
"Mystery!" Pixie smiled.
"Pixie," Mystery nodded back in acknowledgment.
"Where have you been?"
"Yeah, you missed both dinner and the talent show! What gives?" Fleur and Manty quizzed as they raised suspicious and incredulous eyebrows at the normal-sized Umbreon.
But, Mystery ignored them and everybody else as he looked at the crowd before him before he eyed several watermelons left intact on the dinner tables before he brought them up in the air using Psychic as he hummed, "Psych-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ic~"
Everybody gathered in the dining room was puzzled as they saw the watermelons hovering above them for a moment before Mystery jumped off the stage and landed in front of them, giving only a glance back as he then left with the watermelons in tow.
"Mystery!"
"Hey, wait!"
"Come back!"
"Where are you going?" Pixie, Blitz, Sarah, and Race called as everybody chased after him and out around the back up a winding path that led to one of the mansion's Eevee ears (sticking out from the left).
"Where's he going, Pixie?" asked Sarah.
"He's heading for Longdrop Cliff, that place is dangerous if he's not careful!" gasped Pixie as he recognized where they are.
As they followed Mystery to his intended destination, Longdrop Cliff, the five other Pokemon (now shown to be a Gible, a Weavile, and the entire Gothita Evolution Line that included a small family comprised of a Gothita, a Gothorita, and a Gothitelle) waited for him and his family and friends as he set the watermelons down and smiled at them, ready to show off their surprise to the group coming towards them.
"Hey, wait! Are they...?" blinked Asha in surprise, looking at the five Pokemon with Mystery.
"Mr. Mystery, what's going on?" asked Bella.
"Mystery?" added Pixie, now wanting answers as she looked at the four Dark Types and the Ground Type with the normal-sized Umbreon in surprise.
Mystery immediately turned to his family and friends as he introduced the two groups to each other, bowing, "Everybody, my first five friends from my youth..."
First, there was the Gible, "Hi there, I'm Slicer the Gible."
Next, there were the Gothita and the Gothorita as they bowed, "My name's Ava!"
"I'm Ivy, hello."
"Greetings, I'm Manyula the Weavile!" greeted the Weavile, Manyula, with a smirk.
"And, I'm Sanaito. A pleasure, darlings," finished the Gothielle and the head of Umbreon's old friends, Sanaito, as her white and black dress-like looks and intimidating beauty gave off a regal and almost queen-like look to the royal family, the riders and their dragons, and the Eevee Mansion family.
Wow! Look at that; Gothitelle, Gothorita, Gothia, Weavile, and Gible!
"So, that's why he wasn't at dinner tonight!"
"And, why he missed the talent show soon after," gasped Keldeo and Terrakion.
"But, why would he want to call them and us out here on Longdrop Cliff if he hadn't had a bite to eat nor taken time off for some fun and games?" quizzed Piplup just as Meowth and Wobbuffet caught up to their hosts.
"So, where are we now-Huh?" he asked, tired from the climb back up the mansion as the pair saw what looked like a potential conflict that could break out at any second (also completely oblivious of Mystery's surprise to his friends and family). "Yeow-zers! Espeon and the other cutie pies are in trouble! Those crooks, we gotta save them!"
"Let's go!" the Patient Pokemon agreed as they made a break for the groups and got between Pixie and her party and Mystery and his own.
"Don't worry, cuties! I'll save ya!" Meowth called to Gureisha, Rifia, Fleur, and Willow as he charged forward with Wobbuffet by his side with the Scratch Cat Pokemon preparing to use Scratch.
"Oh, brother," Willow sighed lowly in exasperation.
"And, you're through! HYAAAAAAAAH!"
"Take this!"
"Meowth/Mystery!" cried Blitz and Curly in shock, worried for Mystery and the misunderstanding Meowth is causing.
"No! You're...grounded!" Pixie roared as she charged forward and used Fairy Wind and her ribbons blew and extended, blowing Meowth and Wobbuffet away for a second time on the spot.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN! WHAT GIVES?!"
"NOT AGAIN!" they screamed as they twinkled out of the sky again.
Everybody sighed with relief but Mystery and his five unfazed friends just ignored the entire fiasco Meowth and Wobbuffet pulled as the normal-sized Umbreon turned to Sanaito and nodded to her, "Begin."
"Behold the beauty of the cosmics~" Sanaito nodded, using her psychic powers to project and warp the entire area around Longdrop Cliff and everybody on it into the farthest reaches of space with several planets of all different colors, shapes, and sizes spanning above them, showing off the true beauty of Outer Space (leaving everybody in total shock and awe at the sight before them as they looked around).
Amazing! Sanaito the Gothitelle has the power to show us and everybody else on Longdrop Cliff the faraway stars of Outer Space!
"By Arceus' mane..."
"This is gorgeous...!"
"Phenomenal..."
"Well, I'll be..."
"It's beautiful..."
"Like a whole new world we never knew existed..." the entire royal family (blood and adoptive) gasped in wonder at the beauty of the cosmos made possible by Sanaito's power.
"So, this is what Outer Space looks like..."
"So many colors and so many different planets!"
"Neat!"
"Amazing!"
"Sick, dudes!" Hiccup, Zenna, Ruffnut, Toothless, and Hookfang breathed in fascination.
"So pretty!"
"Beautiful!" gawked Rifia and Fleur.
"It's all so magical, just like me," added an awestruck Willow.
"Whoa..." balked a shocked Seebeon and Manty.
"Is this what Outer Space is like? Cool!" Shawazu agreed in total awe.
"It's like we're actually in space and able to experience wonders only many down below could ever dream of!" Pixie smiled brightly.
"It's beautiful! Mystery, did you really plan this?" Busuta gushed before she smiled at the normal-sized Umbreon.
Mystery nodded with a smile as he levitated the eight watermelons into the air with ease and turned to Manyula for the next part of his surprise to his friends and family, "Your turn, bud."
"My pleasure," Manyula smirked as he jumped into the air and used Slash to split all of the watermelons into separate pieces with his claws, allowing Mystery to bring them down to their audience.
"From us to all of you," Mystery smiled as everybody gasped in awe and wonder and took up the watermelon pieces to eat and Sanaito used her powers to transition to a clear starry night sky. "This night sky we're under is for you, gang!"
I get it; Mystery has asked his old friends to help with the party preparations! This beautiful night sky is his surprise present for everyone!
"Misty Terrain~" Pixie sang angelically, using Misty Terrain with grace as she coated the entire area in a foggy field that blocks the vision of anything shorter than one foot.
Everyone was in awe of what Pixie had added to make Mystery and his friends' surprise all the more enjoyable until they had to turn in for the night, Fay, Axew, and Barnetta making the most of it before they would eat their watermelon slices as they played a game of Hide-and-Seek with Fay being it.
With Misty Terrain making Longdrop Cliff look like a makeshift rocket ship as the field change attack acted like smoke from a rocket ship, Sanaito covered the cliff in a looping glow while using her powers again to make a beautiful Aurora Borealis that dazzled everybody down below. None of them expected this coming from Mystery and his friends after they finally saw him after dinner and the talent show so this was nothing short of a fabulous surprise from him and his group to them.
"Awesome!"
"Wow..."
"It's magnificent!"
"Indeed!"
"Cool!"
"Rock it!"
"Whoa..." Shawazu, Gureisha, Rifia, Willow, Busuta, Fay, and Barnetta gasped again in wonder with Manty, Seebeon, and Fleur looking on in silent fascination, sharing their family's wide smiles and awestruck eyes.
The royal family even gave out their own reactions of amazement and awe at the sight for they had no idea a group of Pokemon such as Mystery and her friends could demonstrate their own unique beauty that so many people hadn't known which further added to the wonders of solving the literal mysteries and learning the ways of the Pokemon.
"But, wait! There's more, more, more!"
"Like this, behold!" Ava and Ivy spoke up as they combined Zap Cannon and Psybeam to create a cosmic winter-like sky that passed by everybody, decorated with crystal shards of all different kinds, further demonstrating the beauty and hidden prowess of the Psychic Type Pokemon.
"Wow!"
"It's wonderful!"
"Wow! This is, this is the coolest thing ever!"
"It's fabulous!"
"I've never seen anything like it!" Fay, Pixie, Axew, Curly, and Blitz remarked in stunned awe and wonder.
Everybody took in the sight of the changed sky before them before moments later, Mystery and Manyula decided to change things up as they then used Energy Ball and Shadow Ball to go for a field change, "Bring the shadows!"
"Combine with the light!"
The two attacks darted around each other before they suddenly merged and the crystalline sky changed colors from a blue-violet coloration to an ever-shimmering shade of red-violet which further bedazzled their owners and their friends' audience. Even Meowth and Wobbuffet couldn't help but be amazed at what Mystery and his old friends were doing for everybody when they saw what was happening on their latest climb back up and they soon had a change of heart over them.
"No way... By my stroke of patience!"
"Gorgeoso, wow! So, Gothitelle and the others aren't bad, after all!"
"You said it, man!" the pair remarked in awe and amazement, now impressed by what the four Psychic Types, Mystery, and Slicer were giving back to the group and them and seeing them in a new light.
"Are you all seeing this?!"
"Yeah, it's fascinating!"
"Yippie!"
"What a sight..."
"What a show they're putting up for us..."
"I love it!"
"This is just...overwhelming!"
"I've never seen anything like it!"
"It's crazy awesome!"
"Just like one of those Pokemon Contest performances we were introduced to!" Braviary, Salamence, Eevee, Houndoom, Sarah's Umbreon, Star, Zacian, Zamazenta, Hashimoto, and Ching Wan gasped in continued wonder and amazement.
Shawazu and Gureisha, inspired by what Mystery and his previous friends did, decided to join in as they jumped into the sky and fired Bubble Beam and Ice Beam to create large spheres of ice that Mystery used Psychic to settle and allowed for Pixie and Sylveon to gracefully jump on as the two of them cheered happily, their ribbon feelers growing a bright pink and becoming much longer than normal.
Oshawott fell head over heels again for Pixie as she watched her dance with Sylveon but Tepig and Snivy jumped him again, not wanting him to get any more ideas for romance and prevent him from going into Casanova Overdrive.
In the final moments of Mystery's surprise, Pixie and Sylveon went over to the former's brother-in-arms and his friends as the wild Sylveon happily nuzzled the normal-sized Umbreon and thanked him and his old friends for the surprise they were given before they jumped and moved their ribbons in beautiful patterns as they continued their dance.
Then, it was time for the big bang finale as Mystery turned to Slicer and nodded with a knowing cheeky smile, "Alright, kid, you're up!"
"You got it! Hi Ho Draco Meteor, away!" Slicer nodded before he fired Draco Meteor and the Dragon Type attack dispersed the sky and balloons before everybody was warped back across the galaxy and around the sun and past two nebulas that zoomed past them, eventually jumping at lightspeed back to where the group's performance began and as night finally fell and the two Sylveon finished their dance.
"That's a wrap!" they ended happily, prompting a rousing cheer from everybody including Meowth and Wobbuffet for Mystery and his friends.
"Thank you!"
"Thanks so much, guys!"
"It was our pleasure!"
"Thank you all."
"You're the best, everybody!"
"Hope ya liked it!*l" Manyula, Mystery, Sanaito, Ivy, Ava, and Slicer replied happily.
Later that night, nearly everybody had fallen asleep, tired but happy and ready to await a new day of playtime during the remainder of the royal family and the Riders' stay at Eevee Mansion. After clearing things up about the previous misunderstanding and apologizing to Grueisha and Rifia for unintentionally insulting them for their performance at the talent show, Meowth and Wobbuffet offered Mystery's friends some leftover food from the dinner party as they agreed to stay for a bit before returning home.
They weren't too shy to hang around with some of his siblings-in-arms as Grueisha, Willow, Shawazu, Manty, Rifia, and Fleur stayed up to have a chat with them before they themselves would have to turn in for the night.
"Sorry about the misunderstanding back there, that was a groovy show you all put up! So, come on, Gang, strap on the old feedbag," he smiled.
"What he said!" grinned Wobbuffet.
"Thank you, guys."
"Yes, and don't worry about it. We understand everything."
"Yeah! You must be a great cook!" Slicer, Sanaito, and Ava thanked happily as they, Ivy, and Manyula along with everybody else gathered in the dining room tucked into the remaining food as they chatted away.
Meanwhile, everybody else was fast asleep in large groups but in separate rooms so they could all fit inside Eevee Mansion with some members of the royal family sleeping with Pixie, Busuta, Seebeon, Fay, and Bernetta (who sometimes shocked Oshawott in her sleep) and prompting the wild Sylveon to gently pull a leaf over Axew as he rolled peacefully in his sleep between Fay and Busuta.
While everyone else slept, Pixie and Blitz stayed awake for a few more minutes or so as they looked around and saw how content and happy everybody in the former's room was about the day's events. They were sure that even if they didn't meet each other again for some time, what they did know is that the memories they shared during their brief time in Eevee Mansion would stay with them forever.
"Thanks, Pixie, you guys are the best," Blitz thanked.
"I'm glad you all liked it. We'd love it if you and your family pop by and play with us again from time to time," Pixie smiled back.
"Yeah, I'm sure we will. 'Night, Pixie."
"Goodnight, Blitz."
And, with that, they both fell asleep, their dreams filled with warm memories of the day and awaiting what tomorrow may bring.
It looks like everybody had a wonderful time. I'm sure they'll all have fun playing again tomorrow, too.
