In a blue gummi ship with in the lanes.

Leon looked to a vast case of pokeballs containing it's passengers in satisfaction while Terra had the ship go into an autopilot through a short cut back. The grown up leaned back to a chair and looked upon the collection of two nest balls, two great balls, a nest ball and a dusk ball. Spacing out at a view point that changed from a simple adventure. "Can't believe I actually did that. How long did the King know about the worlds?"

Leon guessed. "Probably as soon as Sora called upon him for the first time. Sometimes people can just figure things out." He looked to the earth plate and the peat block while confessing. "Now that you're a trainer proper, you got some work before you all can become some of the best partners around. Keep that Peat Block in your bag and wait until the full moon. That's how Ursaring's going to evolve." Terra had never read a calendar before, but he knows of places where a full moon is easy to find. "So she can't rush that even if I allow it to happen again."

Leon nodded. "We got to give Rotom time to help us with a check up and we'll figure out where you need to improve. Speaking of check ups." He had Dex show a log on Phanpy and Donphan. Nothing in the log showed the Great Tusk. In a sudden, Rotom gave a buzz and the app turned scarlet for a moment, arrows pointed down and the Rotom had it slide to the end of the Dex. Showing two logs above Miraidon. One was Koraidon, a pokemon Terra had encountered, bellow him was the Great Tusk. Press. "Great Tusk: The Spiked Armor Pokemon. Ground-Fighting type: Sightings of this Pokémon have occurred in recent years. The name Great Tusk was taken from a creature listed in a certain book. According to paranormal magazines, this pokemon has lived since the ancient times."

Leon raised a brow in confusion. "There's no way this pokemon has lived that long." He asked Terra. "How does a Donphan evolve into this? Why is this kind only found in that crater?" He thought more about it as Terra guessed. "Is there any place, besides that Crater, that this pokemon had a history with?"

Leon shrugged. "If there was, then there would have been fossils about him." He had a headache as Terra checked the log on Koraidon. "But we know Great Tusk is connected to this guy, who has another name. If the Winged King's able to use those crystals to get into any world we can think about, then things are going to be shaken up the moment they are seen." Leon cringed. "That's the most we know about these pokemon, if an expert can't help you with this, then how are we going to know what we're getting ourselves into?" Terra raised a finger to something. "It beats me, but the Dex talked about some phony magazines. Do you know anything about them?"

Leon groaned. "Yes I do, but it's clear that me and Daphne didn't bring them along. They talk about some really dumb stories and we've only paid attention to the ones connected to the book. The others are about robotic lookalikes. A Delibird that was built during the ancient times or an athlete that is turned into a Cybernetic Hariyama." He felt a spark in his mind. "Wait a minute, Ven said that Miraidon's looked like a robotic Cyclizar?!"

Terra is surprised by something connecting. "Isn't that a familiar frame? Are there others you know about?" Leon had the misfortune of remembering. "They all look like a robotic copy of certain pokemon. A Donphan, Volcarona, Tyrannitar, Hydregion and a cross between Gardevoir and Gallade. Rotom, if you would, prepare those photos, because that might be important." The Rotom was on it as Terra thought to change the subject. "Speaking of things that don't make sense, how were you able to do those things you have done, even though you weren't really an Espeon?"

Leon pondered, thinking he's seen enough strange things to make a wild conclusion. "I guess deep down, I wanted to do more to help after getting told to do that enough times. It reflect the form perfectly and the power stayed around when we faced that demon." He focused in a zen and felt nothing coming out, turning that wish into a pout. "And it's gone now. So, I guess I'm back to being a complete nag."

Terra blew out in reflect. "You're kidding me? We've wouldn't have gotten done this quick or well without you! You remember the kind of people who can use those kinds of magics at Mickeys?" Leon gasped and clapped. "You might be onto something. Those guys could give me some pointers, Espeon could be an example, because all that power is from the mind. So maybe..." He looked forward to the funner parts of the adventure as the ship was through the short cut and heading to a keyhole leading to Traverse.

At the Town.

The Destiny Trio were back in their normal attire, reading the text on the back of the Spooky Plate as they head over to the Ranch. The Princess read out loud. "The other side of this world was given by the Original One to its raging third." Sora asked. "Raging Third?"

Kairi tapped the side of her cranium. "Think, Arceus is connected to Palkia and Dialga. There's a pokemon close to that list that feels connected to those two." Riku remembered the log of the dark one. "Giratina?! What's the point about us learning from this?"

Kairi imagined the significance to them. "The plates are connected to Arceus's power and each of these tell more and more about him. They'll all be important someday, but it's clear that even that third has a role." She put the plate in the bag and readied the balls containing Sandslash, Crygonal, Coalossal and Xurkitree. They arrived at the ranch to find nothing too important going on, save for Jumba taking in notes while a stable hand had a playful fist fight with the Charcadet. The scientist was all the more fascinated. "It's like a little coal, but it keeps going on and on with that fighting spirit."

The stable hand, one of Wanda's human recruits, turned around slightly singed. "It's like he's nothing but spirit." Jumba noticed the trio and put his note away. "Ah, Island Trio in one piece! You have good news, I presume?" Kairi nodded and brought out a pouch with the four balls. "A lot of the pokemon we caught we'd plan on keeping with us. Three of them need to look at something different, due to something bad happening to them. The fourth one-" She tapped to the Beast Ball. "is one of the Ultra Beasts."

Riku thought to explain the low number. "The rest of the pokemon, we chose not to bring here because they'd fit in with the world. One side embodies Halloween, the other Christmas." The Scientist didn't care much for the explanation. "These life forms find ways to adapt and become one with society. I take the three regulars, were forced to attack the world or something on the line?"

"If they were attacked by that evil and were turned into Shadow Pokemon, then it's obvious that they want to look away from the place they've tried to destroy while in that state."

The band turned fast and found Leon and Terra. Holding a large case worth of pokeballs. Behind them was Ursaring and an Armarogue that caused the Charcadet to burst in a flame and jump out. The two pokemon were giants compared to when they left earlier in the day, Sora was left gasping. "Woah, they got huge!"

Terra looked to the two in pride as Cadet looked down to his brother and gave a playful fist bump. "We had a ton of issues at the Pridelands and these guys had the exercise." The spikey haired boy flinched. "Oh crud! Those guys, over there?!" Leon presented the case to Jumba. "Here's thirty seven pokemon. Some of them are of the same kind and this one here." He showed a heavy ball. "Is special." Jumba looked over to his closest assistant and gave him the four balls. "Show them where they go. They've been hauling it!"

Leon smiled in pride and followed the stable hand to the lab as Terra went straight to the point. "There was no way the animals and pokemon would have co existed without throwing an ecosystem into chaos. But it sounded like you still had a lot of work for what you had to leave behind."

Riku was glad the haul was out of sight. "The pokemon of Halloween fought with us to save the holiday and every pokemon at the Christmas side are either ice types or look no different from what you expect. So that's why we've brought in a small amount, besides the pokemon we plan to have alongside us." He put a hand to his hip and looked to someone who was also eating crow. "That box wasn't all of them, you have more on you?" Terra looked to the Cadet and his brother getting along well. "Those kids were on to something, they got the heart to get stronger."

He sent out the two pokemon that are easier to explain, a Primeape that was squinting his eyes at the dim light and a Donphan that gave a cheer akin to a child. The grown up took a deep breath as the Primeape begun to get into a tantrum, he gave a firm voice. "Primeape, this town is always like this!" The monkey huhed and tried to calm down as Donphan spotted a Drillbur burrowing out from the other side of the fence and hurried to give her hellos.

Kairi had a strange charm to the elephant as Sora's hood wiggled to let out a curious Dreepy. The boy readied a great ball to show what else he caught. "We found a pokemon that's lost his friends and figured out they're out there in the other worlds. We also found this guy." He let out a white Darmanitan that landed with his fists to the ground, becoming awestruck at the strange town. Dreepy zipped around Terra to get a look at a net ball and a dusk ball as his trainer asked. "Hey, have you found anyone who looks like this guy? He's a Dreepy?"

Terra shook his head. "Not a single one, these other two" he showed the net ball and dusk ball. "are those I want to talk about once the kid put those pokemon away." Kairi petted the Donphan by the ear and readied a dive ball, letting out a cheerful Azumarril that brought the elephants attention and started making fast friends with her. Primeape and Ursaring are warm in the heart as Darmanitan gave a grunt, keeping away from eye contact. (So what brought you along?)

Primeape knew Darmanitan wasn't looking him in the eyes and pressed his fists together with building anger. (We got in this mess because of someone, so someone's got to get us out of it and help us beat up who ever is responsible.)

Riku wanted to wait until the tension was clear. "There's two pokemon I found that I need to talk with my friends about... privately." He showed a dusk ball instead. "We got some good news and a really bad one to share. Have you found any weird pokemon?" Terra remembered the screaming of Guzzlord as Leon returned with excitement. "This ranch is going to get so big!"

Jumba over heard and imagined a new project for the evening. "We'd expected lots, if they caught more frigid specimens, then we're going to need a bit of an expansion for that." Leon looked over to the already wide ranch. "And this is just the second day! Speaking of which, I want to talk about that Xurkitree, we're going to need a big generator just for him!" Jumba recalled the code name for the Ultra Beast. "This UB-04: Lightning?"

Leon nodded. "That one! I've seen an artist draw a painting of the world they've came from. This one is a sapling and might give Sparky a run for his money!" Riku cringed at the close call. "Are you for real?" Leon wished he was. "Give them the life time of a tree and they can become the size of a sky scrapper! No other Ultra beast can compare to that. Thankfully, that won't be an issue anytime soon."

He cringed. "The bad news though is that Terra and I had to shove a Guzzlord into an Ultra Wormhole, just to get him out of the Pridelands. The World Order kept us from catching pokemon until we were sure no one was looking." The Rotom showed the trio a picture of the terrifying dragon as Leon explained. "It's the one Ultra Beast that you need to put into a ball in order to tame it. Otherwise, there's little to stop him but the extremes. It didn't help that one of those demons tried to attack him ways... I don't want to speak about and drove him into trying to get out of there. As a Faller, he mistook me for a wormhole and you can imagine how one thing lead to another."

Kairi cringed in sympathy. "He didn't deserve to go through that." That is agreed by the boys as Riku imagined the end result not mattering too much. "He's still Gluttony Incarnate and it looks like he would have tried eating everything on that world, even if he wasn't being attacked." He corrected himself. "Let me reiterate. What kind of weird pokemon you found, that you don't know about?"

Donphan cheered for one that had Azu confused, the Rotom showed the two pictures for Terra to explain. "There's a legendary that's with one of them. A Koraidon that came from nowhere and lead us to the armor that Cadet used to evolve, and a Great Tusk that is working for him." Leon nodded. "The Great Tusk is currently with another legendary, Zygarde. A pokemon that would like to get the ecosystem of the worlds back in order. Now, I've seen pokemon evolve into strange things and some pokemon do look like the ones they've been. But this one is a little on the nose and even the Dex can only call it, Great Tusk. He was one of the three pokemon that we didn't try to capture, Terra's gotten far and his partners are stronger for it, but they're not ready to face these three."

The grown up scratched himself awkwardly. "That was because I was a lion and barely anyone was even evolved. It's a good thing that guy still helped us." Leon finished the tale. "And when it was over, he and Zygarde left by one of those crystals. Leaving this behind." He showed the Earth Plate and concluded. "Arceus had something to do with this, so this means that Koraidon and Miraidon could be working for him too."

Sora was amazed by the report. "Woah! Miraidon helped us rescue Kyurem and the others when we were blocked out from where we need to go. He dug up a maze from those crystals." It was pretty hard to describe it, yet Leon was more shocked. "The Kyurem? Unless you all caught him, then I'm going to assume he either stayed at the town or took off where no one's going to bother him. You done nice work for rescuing him."

Sora blushed proudly as Riku had his part to share. "That is another part of the good news. We figured out who was causing those spikes to pop up and it is not the Witch that's been messing with the worlds. We had a hunch it wasn't her anyways, it didn't fit her to cause that kind of destruction unless there's a reason to it."

Kairi added with the ill. "But we did figure out, the hard way, that Maleficent knows that these pokemon are out there and she's looking for some power. We think a Misdreavus that Riku made friends with-" Riku had a blush as the Princess continued. "got captured by the Witch while we were saving Christmas. The world that Maleficent made into a hideout is out of our reach for now."

The youngster gasped in shock. "Where did she get pokeballs in the first place?! How did she find out?!"

Riku felt a headache just thinking about it. "That's a mystery for another time. Me and these Sneasel boys did something stupid and got into a fight with a pokemon that we thought was Misdreavus."

He took a deep breath and let out a spinning Flutter Mane that was realizing she was under a town of stars and no sun. Leon recognized the form. "A Misdreavus with a Fluttering Mane?" Riku corrected him. "Or Flutter Mane."

The ghost grumbled and squinted her eyes, the teenager spoke out the ill news. "It's always been night over here and it's been late by our time." Leon grabbed his Dex had a scan for a report, seeing the name, type and the log. Flutter Mane looked down on him and was getting bored as Riku explained. "The Dex didn't give her a name, just the title." The boy read the entry. "And it's separated from Misdreavus and Mismagius! We have a specimen of this phenomenon right here!"

Jumba intervened as a curious mind. "But what kind? What is the known cause for this metamorphosis?" Leon had the Dex separate the three pokemon. "It's suppose to be down in Area Zero. There have been alternate evolutions before so-" He saw a stat comparison and froze. Sora guessed by the still stare. "There's something wrong about this, isn't there?" Leon turned the phone and had it float to the trio. "You should read this. Normally if a pokemon has an alternative stage, the stat total doesn't change."

The trio did so, from Misdreavus being low if even, while slightly leaning towards the special stats and the speed. To Mismagius who only has a slight increase in health and the physical stats, while having a respectable boost in the special stats and speed. Flutter Mane's total is more ridiculous even in comparison, with the physical stats having a slight sacrifice while the other half was higher. Sora was about to choke. "That's not an alt! That's a whole new stage!"

Kairi pat Sora on the back as Riku felt a contradiction. "But Flutter Mane and Mismagius hardly look alike. So what gives?" Leon wasn't sure. "I don't know, but the stats are way too off to be an evolution straight from a Misdreavus. Even a pokemon like Kingambit, resembles Bisharp in a lot of ways while keeping what that pokemon is good at. I'll help you get Flutter Mane ready for tomorrow, but since you just caught her," He shook a hand to find the appropriate words. "Good luck with having her do as you say if she keeps giving you those looks."

Riku had a scowl resembling Flutter Mane's as Donphan asked in concern, Terra petted her and promised. "There's something funny going on with Great Tusk as well. We need to figure that out before Maleficent does and get her hands on something like him." Jumba agreed with strict advise. "Next time you see strange pokemon like that, you catch them on sight! Because you won't get another chance for next time."

That is agreed and Leon was given a look from Primeape, one saying that he needs to calm down. The boy did that as Terra finished the last of the report. "The kid's spotted something that helped another pokemon I have with me, evolve into the one we were talking about." He sent out the heavy Kleavor and an Obstagoon that howled, ready for a fight. The dark type realize there wasn't one going on and looked around awkwardly. Azu was in awe. (And I thought I seen it all.) Kleavor blushed at the new sight. (You and me both, this could take a while.)

Leon used his Dex to observe the specimen as Terra showed the wrapped up Peat Block. "And Usaring has another evolution if we remember to bring this to her by the full moon."

Kairi looked to the bears size and giggled. "Tee hee! Because what else is seen in the sky with the Ursa Minor and Major?" Ursaring answered eagerly. (The Moon itself!)

Azu felt a spark of a memory and jumped. (I know of a story about this. Every full moon, on top of a hill, an Ursaring takes the gift of the earth and becomes the guardian who watches over it. Not a lot of Ursarings believe the story anymore. But if the kid's on to something, that means you got a big evolution that's worth all that trouble!) She advised. (Get a calendar, because this could be once in a life time.)

Leon saw something in Kleavor's log went for his bag. "We need to pay attention to the sky when it's night. If we miss this, we won't get another chance anytime soon." He found something and advised. "Terra, Kleavor, what I'm about to give you is very rare. You have a hidden ability that's oh so better than what you have." He brought out what looked to be a sticker. "Sharpness! It boosts the power of cutting moves about as much as sheer force, without any of the draw backs of sacrificing the additional effect. You should check out what stone ax can do."

He gave it to Terra as Kleavor was amused. (I'm liking the sound of that.) The youngster instructed. "Apply this to Kleavor, wait a few minutes and give him a go at the training grounds!" Terra looked around with some disappointment. "I guess the others are still out there?"

It was a fact Riku saw coming. "Give them some time, they'll call us soon." He had an odd scent from Obstagoon, one befitting of his type. "So, Terra, who's this guy? He's smells pretty brash."

The grown up answered as Sora realized by the shape. "That's Obstagoon. He's evolved from the cousin of the Zigzagoon that Sora caught." The spikey haired boy let out a carefree Linoone that is much calmer than the cousin looking for a fight, there was a great resemblance that Leon had to explain. "The Galarian Zigzagoon is a pokemon that does nothing but get into fights with those stronger than it and as a Linoone it gets even worse. Then as an Obstagoon, they're able to back up all the taunting. He's a normal and dark type. Everything you need to know about that type is through him!" He smiled nervously. "To date, the other one doesn't evolve further from a Linoone. But he has a few niches that Obstagoon cannot do."

The Linoone barked a hello that Obstagoon responded to hesitatingly, he crossed eyes with a boy who is giving a similar attitude. Riku wanted to take off as soon as possible. "I'll be seeing if we can't get some rooms. Sora, Kairi, I want to talk with you about those brothers." Leon hmmed. "Two brothers?! What did you find?"

Riku showed two fingers. "A duo of Sneasels, both with a different color and attitude. You know of that?" Leon gasped and put a hand to his cheek. "No way! A Johtonian Sneasel and a Hisuian Sneasel?" The boy gave Leon the Flutter Mane's ball. "We'll find you when you're ready!"

He took off and Sora was caught between wanting to ask more and deciding follow, he had Linoone chase with him as Kairi had Azu come with her and admit defeat. "Seriously, you two did amazing today." The ladies took off and left Leon with quite a few things to do. He promised the scientist. "We'll be back with some data on their battling skills, okay?"

At Gravity Falls during a sun set.

The Wayfinders, the Pine Twins and Kit finished placing the balls containing Bronzor, Stufful and Seedot into a tray and placing them on a shelf. Ven placed the treasure he has found onto a desk with a screen as Aqua finished her instructions. "Too many pokemon at the Shack would bring unwanted attention. So while you get to keep your two partners. The others are going to be cared for here." Mabel was getting over her disappointment as Dipper was agreeing. "Stan would see them as an quick money scheme if he finds out. So that leaves us with that Brute Bonnet. What do we know about Amoongus?"

Aqua recalled the one from Traverse Town. "It's small, it likes to hide and it relies on its poisons to wear you down. Where would a more aggressive cousin go to, if it had the chance?" Mabel gasped. "A place with a whole lot of smells!" Dipper know of a place. "Greasy's Diner!"

He imagined the timing. "But it's in closing hours by now." Kit's well aware of that. "If the locals go there regularly, then I don't see why that thing won't give it a try after hours. Dark types like that are well known to be scavengers."

Aqua felt her imagination going towards darker places. "And the last thing we need is for him to be breaking and entering for food. Kadabra and Bursty need to know about this." Kit agreed with that and was ready to leave. "I'll go let them know, in the meanwhile, get this kids home before it gets dark."

Aqua gave the stranger a warriors salute and signaled to the Pines. "We'll see that done. Ven, while I'm out, get ready to set up a cam or something for our meeting with the others. We're in an awkward spot that we can't report this face to face."

Ven understood and explained to the Pines. "Most of the time, we solve what ever problem is going on in a world by a day tops and sometimes a few days when we're looking for something hidden. This feels like it might be one of the longer trips."

Mabel promised heartily as she and Dipper were ready to leave. "Don't worry, we'll be getting Soos ready for a trip back to the mall, bright and early tomorrow!" Ven asked the nearby Togekiss. "Dovey, you should help Kit while you're out there. At least until I'm ready to be catching you, okay?"

The Togekiss liked the nick name and fluttered out as Kit raised a brow. "That's a wise call, what made you decide on letting her be?" The boy felt in his instinct. "She looks like she's fully evolved, has a lot of experience to show it and it wouldn't feel right to catch her after how she helped." Kit lowered his eye lids. "But you'd still chuck a ball at her back if you have the chance again?"

He thought about the plan as Ven admitted. "It wouldn't be a bad idea, if she's that strong. But not yet, not until I catch that Rotom!" Kit wasn't going to say anything and took off in silence while Aqua and the Pines went out.

Leaving the boy by his lonesome, setting up a piece of tech he barely understands. He let Virtu and Shadey be as he set up a program and lined up the contact info. Shadey transformed into the young Sora and asked. "That was pretty fun, but do you think that Bonnet's going to be okay out there?" Ven had no idea. "We got eyes out there. But it's not going to do anything if he keeps to the darkness."

Blip!

At a Training Quarters in Traverse

Cadet, his little brother, Donphan, Obstagoon, Flutter Mane and Luna Kaua watched Terra, Ursaring, Primeape and Kleavor attack some training dummies. The bear braced herself as the trainer set up a fast haste spell and had her take a burn from a flame orb. "Punch with facade! Primeape, follow with Low kick and let Kleavor take that swing!"

The Ursaring sprinted after the dummy on all fours and gave a guts boosted punch that knocked a dummy off it's stand. Primeape went for another and delivered a low kick to the shine as Kleavor smashed his axes to the dummy and sent it flying clean off, all the while scattering floating rocks. The ghost in particular was staring in complete shock as Leon blew a whistle. "And clear!" He approached with some poke block treats for the fighters. "It might be a too early for Kleavor to be using close combat right now, but quick attack goes well with stone ax and fury cutter, as that finisher or opening for the really sharp moves."

The three pokemon caught the sweet blocks and were licking at the taste, Kleavor was having a confidence boost at the change. (And I'm not feeling that slow anymore.) Obstagoon blinked and pointed at him. (I'm thinkin' that speed's the least of your worries. That hide's going to shrug off some hits.) Luna Kaua agreed with that. (It's not as sturdy as steel, but flames, birds and electric stuff won't sting you as much. Some of those types are going to be afraid of you too.)

Leon kept a log on Kleavor's progress as Terra admitted. "If we time it right, we can throw a whole mountain at someone!" The boy saw what was given up and showed the stat spread compared to Scyther and Scizor. "And I think the speed's still enough that opponents won't get out of the way in time. Kleavor traded that for a better sync with you and it's not much of a price."

Kleavor was embarrassed at what he overblown as Leon readied to pick up the Charcadet. Suddenly, a rough, feminine voice called out. "You think those two are going to be aligned before you get to see it?" The group turned to where the dummy flew off to, a duo of young ladies in pink hair; one with a one piece white jacket, brown shorts, many straps and a red cloak, and the other with a button dress top, a plaid skirt and her hair tied up in a side ways pony tail. Both sisters having a matching eye color of blue and strap with something that would fold in place. Leon gasped. "Oh my goodness!"

Lightning in particular was holding into a dummy that seen better days and tossed it back to the Kleavor. Serah shook her head and asked. "We saw this fly all the way to the cafe, what in the Light are you doing?" Terra had to be blunt. "Practicing, I've spent the whole day as a lion and Scyther had to change his fighting style just to rush through hellfire. There's no going back through that one." Kleavor found it crazy just to listen too and gave a grunt that could be interpreted as yup.

Lightning and Serah found that too insane to be a lie, looked to each other and went into a battle pose, unfolding their strap on kits as a sword and a bow. The more serious of the ladies barked as a commander. "That be good against a monster, but what would that do against a scumbag with a weapon? Show us!" Serah winked. "And don't hold back!"

The Cadets tensed as Ursaring and Primeape stood out of the way, leaving Terra and Kleavor to look to each other and face the ladies. "Let's show them what we've learned, Kleavor!" The stone mantis raised his axes, gave a battle cry and smashed them down to look intimidating as Serah strung her bow and got an aim at Terra, the veteran ordered. "Kleavor, stop that archer!" Kleavor sprinted after Serah and split into a double team as his partner blitz after Lightning, the one woman army flipped over him and gave him a few kicks as Serah dashed to a pole and flung behind the Kleavor that gave a fury cutter slash.

She fired fire arrows at the mantis's back and saw them phase through as Terra leaped for a back swing, was parried by Lighting and jumped over to Kleavor's copies. Serah strung a lightning arrow and fired it to the sky, causing it to split into a multitude of bolts that pelt through the illusions and shocked the real one that was right next to Terra. The one woman army flipped her sword into a pistol and rushed after the two to fire, Kleavor got in the way and used his axe to shield Terra. The Veteran realized something and whispered. "We're being too defensive. Once we disrupt them, do not relent!"

The mantis grunted as Serah shot fast arrows, the duo jumped away from the fire and the duo made a double quick attack. Kleavor rushed at Serah in a fast tackle and gave stone ax smash that scattered rocks as Terra gave a wide swing. Lightning back flipped and found herself scrapping at the disappearing floating rocks. Kleavor saw Serah was stepping back to analyze the move and closed in for a dual fury cutter, bringing the lady into a fight or flight instinct as Lighting back flipped from a swipe and saw Terra smash the ground for a rock eruption. Serah parried one fury cutter and flipped over the other, she switched her bow for a short sword and gave a slash at a bug that split himself into a double team. Terra gave a spin right as Lightning grazed on another sharp stone and bull rushed her into a wall as Kleavor used the confusion to give a fury cutter swipe, make Serah dodge and rush her for a quick attack, sending her skidding to Lightning while jumping back. The air and atmosphere changed in a sudden and the Farron Sisters flipped their weapons away.

Lightning stretched and gave where it was due. "Not bad, not bad." Obstagoon laughed and wanted a go at her next, being stopped by an irritated Primeape. (Can we not!) Cadet saluted the ladies in respect. (That was fierce!) He smiled to his brother. (You're in good hands if these are the ones keeping the town safe!) The brother looked to the ladies in admiration. (They're a lot more than meets the eye! I could tell in that frown the taller one has.) He looked quite jealous and asked. (You didn't happen to find a spare set of armor or something? That challenge is always itching.) The bigger brother had ill news. (This was the only one we found and we were lucky to find it.)

Leon clapped at the growing argument. "Alright, alright, that's enough!" The brothers looked away nervously as Kleavor tapped his axes to the ground, feeling lighter than before. The youngster was impressed by the ladies. "I know this town has some strong people, but I didn't think they were that strong!" Lightning brushed her hair as Serah snickered. "Thanks, my big sister has lead some fierce fights." She looked around and whispered. "You know, if you and your friends like, you can always use this place to train when you're not about to hit the road."

Terra considered that. "We just got back and something tells me we'll have some business to take care of before we head back." He turned to his partners and readied a mass call back. "It's time to get back into these." Pew! Leon was ready to call Gambit and Flutter Mane back into their balls. "I think we've seen enough already." He kept the Charcadet in his arms, wondering how that competing nature is going to be tended too. "I didn't expect it, but he's quite behaved. There's always a partner who'd be more than happy to help, if you want."

Lightning considered it for half a second as Serah contemplated. "I've been hearing that some of those pokemon need to evolve to do more, it could be a good excuse." Lightning didn't mind the idea. "We'll think about it, this has all started yesterday, you know?" The youngster didn't press further into the topic. "Thank you for giving those two a work out ladies! We'll be around for a while." He and Terra hurried back towards the Ranch, leaving the sisters quite charmed by the changes.

At a Lobby at an Inn.

Riku showed his friends and the Azumarril, the quick ball and the repeat ball that contained the brothers and finished his recap. "They even responded to the names, like they've heard it before." Kairi and Sora recalled hearing those moves as Azu tapped. (Raz and Darter...) She realized something and gasped. (I heard those names before!)

Sora was losing his breath and sat down to a chair, Comfey felt the change of air and tried to keep him breathing, the spikey haired boy remembered more than survival mechanism. "Those are the same kids we saw in that dream! But... that means." Riku nodded and finished for him. "Azu's friends, from the other side of the wormhole. Actually pulled off a way to go look for them before the incident that had them all scattered through out the worlds. The boys mom included."

Azu recalled sharper in a wail. (Sneasler too?!) She covered her mouth, remembered more faces that she and her Seafarers had met, her eyes watered and she started to laugh. (Ha, ha, ha.)

The laugh turned into a sob, Kairi gave Azu an embrace as Riku tapped Sora on the back and whispered. "You made the right call to keep that bit of faith in them, Sora." The younger boy looked up, teary eyed in relief. "But now we know they're out there, even more lost than the Seafarers have been. What if they get hurt?" Riku put fingers under his chin and saw something glimmer out of the window for that moment. "That has a real chance of happening, but we have friends that are looking for them. I wouldn't worry about it."

Creek! Jingle!

Leon, Kilokilo and a Charcadet entered. The youngster was looking back at something as the Hatterene noticed the trio and waved hello. (I got told a bunch!) The Charcadet was hesitate to leave something out of his sights and decided to march on as Leon saw Azu sniffling happily and Sora rubbing his eyes. The spikey haired boy breathed out easily. "Hey Leon, how did it go with Terra?"

Leon smiled wide. "He and his team are definitely ready. One day and he already has a full team of six pokemon that are evolved and can put half the weight the Seafarers can do. They just need to have more experience out there. These two ladies gave him and Kleavor one zippy exam."

The trio immediately thought of the Farron Sisters and Riku whistled. "Dang!" Leon put fingers under his chin in curiosity. "Sora, Azu, what was going on? You two looked like you had a good cry about something." Riku took a deep breath as Kairi went for her bag. "It's like this, we know that Azu and her friends, came from a world that is a lot different from yours. They had acquaintances and close friends from beyond the wormhole and we found out more about them." Sora steeled himself like a man. "One of them was a merchant who loved stories. She has two kids, those Sneasels. Have you ever heard of Sneasler?"

The youngster nodded. "It's an extremely rare pokemon that evolves from a critically endangered cousin of the Johtonian Sneasel. They're not around much anymore and most are only lucky enough to spot one. They don the poison and fighting type, in contrast to their more known cousins who have dark and ice." He smirked. "And she set up another expedition to rescue her valued customers eh?"

That was a way to describe what might have gone through the Sneasler they remembered, Kairi brought out a drawing her other made. "This is the only clue we actually have." Leon had a look at a rather charming drawing of a four mon team, recognizing all four of them on sight. "These are some of them? A team of an Emboar, Rhydon, Cherrim and-" He, Kilokilo and Charcadet gasped and looked over to the door. "a Sableye with a mega stone!"

He hurried to an explanation. "Sableyes are some pretty cunning pokemon, especially those with Prankster and a mega stone." Azu perked as Kairi raised a brow. "You saw a Sableye just now?" Leon continued the explanation. "It was climbing down from the window and was retreating to the darkness. They hide in caves and feed on rocks. I knew it wasn't acting normal."

Azu felt more of her memories return. (She's definitely the smartest one of the Nomads.) The faces of a traveling band of explorers, treasure hunters and often rescuers were more alive, Emboar being the more noble of the bunch, with Rhydon being the more brave headed, Cherrim being positive in her steps while Sableye was always rubbing her hands together in a scheme. Leon was quite exhausted from the adventure. "We'll try looking for that little trouble maker once we get some shut eye. Do we got a way to call the others for a video chat or something?"

Kairi felt an idea in mind. "We can with our phones, but I think with some tinkering, we can go a little further." Riku raised two fingers. "We managed to get some pretty big rooms. Leon, do you want to stay with us for the night?"

The youngster accepted the invitation as Terra entered, more than a reason to find good fortunes. "One of us does have the bigger pokemon, after all." The grown up blushed. "I just heard that you have a plan to call the others, how are we going to do it?" Kairi, or more her other, had a finger on the camera app on the phone. "I need to borrow the Rotom Phone, does it have an app where you can make a video call with multiple people?" Leon recalled a program to conduct multiple chats at once, in a relatively private space. "I have it, but I don't use it. This ought to be good."

Back at Gravity Falls, during the fall of night.

Ven was in the Gummi Base, looking at a message sent by Kairi. It was a download for a program called Connect. The boy waited for the download and signed in on an account name. "V A." He looked to Virtu. "We're sharing the same screen, so we share the same account." The Porygon2 felt that made sense as the boy gave the two credit. "You two were amazing today!"

Virtu beeped back. (As were you!) Shadey snickered in agreement. "Totally!"

Connect was up and there was a page, the boy pressed on it and found a message from a Two Sided Witch. "Welcome to Connect. Go check the chat room and use the camera." Ven did as instructed and was in a cam chat with Kairi, she looked like she had a tap from someone and she turned. "It works! Come on over!"

Sora, Riku and a Dartrix approached from the side, finding the Wayfinder, the Porygon2 and a younger looking Sora that puffed in purple energy and reveled himself to be a Zorua. Ven asked in the camera. "How did this happen?" Kairi answered. "Namine thought we can communicate faster by making a cam chat. So who's this cutie?"

Ven was about to answer as a user name entered. Night Angel. Another camera logged in, showing Ken leaning a little close to the screen and seeing it was working before stepping back to show Dewott at his side and a well kept room. "Alright guys, we're in!"

Xion and the Twilight Town Trio stepped in the log and Pence was quite impressed. "Leave it to Namine to come up with this idea! So you all made a base as well?"

Kairi shook her head. "Not quite, we're using an inn for now." Nymble and Shroodle arrived to give a hello. Ven answered. "Oχιά parked in the same place as before. So how are you guys doing?" Riku reported. "It's complicated, we went to a town that was more than suitable for the pokemon that dropped in. We didn't had the heart to take that away from them. But, we've caught more for our team and still brought some pokemon that got attacked."

Ken and Ven cringed most. One armed boy imagined the nightmare it must have been for the pokemon. "Yikes, hope they'll be fine after that. We've made contact with Big Hero 6 for some help and we've got a bunch of uncaptured pokemon using the room bellow as a den." He requested to his fellows and stepped aside. "Hayner, if you will?"

The main boy of the trio reported in and showed his Pawmot. "We've been catching pokemon to use and have been getting them ready to fight some of the guys in the bunker with us. It's been pretty tough, but we've been handling it."

Ken reported the broad events. "Some of our partners have already evolved and Pawmot's at a final stage already." Leon nuzzled between the Destiny Trio. "A Pawmot?" He blushed with a desire to acquire one of his own. "Those are so handy! My Mommy said that for a pokemon that's really easy to acquire, it's one of the most effective you can find. Check out what he can learn and you'll find out. What are the pokemon you've been having some trouble with?"

Olette waved a hand to clear a misunderstanding. "We're not having any real trouble, we're just keeping a close eye on this Hariyama that's trained these three Hitmons-" Leon's eyes widen in shock as the girl continued. "and an Emboar that's helped our super heroes out before we arrived."

Sora asked on a repeat. "An Emboar?" Xion saw that as a que. "You knew him before we got to say more? What did you find out?" Kairi went to the point. "Okay, here's the deal. We found out that some old friends of Azu and the Seafarers have set out to Ultra Space on a rescue mission and got scrambled when you know who opened all those wormholes. Emboars one of them."

Xion recalled another oddly behaving pokemon. "Now that you mentioned it, we found another pokemon that was more focused than the wild ones too. Is Vikavolt another of those pokemon?" Kairi sang in a melody. "Ding, ding, ding! He is!"

Ken was greatly impressed. "Okay. That's a lot more progress than I thought we actually did. So, it really was a good idea to not pick a fight with them. Huh Sis?"

Kairi shook her head swiftly. "No, no, no! Right now, I think the Seafarers are the only pokemon who could fight them. The boys have only just started to fill their teams in." Dreepy sneaked around the Destiny Trio and had his face right in front of the cam, only to be pushed away from a Comfey while Sora was about to give a lecture. "Hey, don't do that!" He asked. "By the way, have you seen any Dreepys over there? This one's missing his friends."

Ven sighed with disappointment. "Haven't found one yet." Hayner didn't recall seeing one and promised. "We just got through searching the town at the city. How are we suppose to find one?" Leon was glad they asked. "Well, Dreepys use to be amphibians before they went extinct and became ghosts. They use to live in the sea, so any place that would be familiar to one would help them find a way back to that life. How goes your teams?"

Xion smiled wide. "I caught a Tauros!" Hayner added. "We've been catching a ton of pokemon and we're giving this Gyarados time to rest." Leon flinched at the name as Ken explained swiftly. "Vikavolt was trying to rescue a Magikarp that fell into Fred's back yard and somehow evolved. He was pretty calm for... a giant, angry looking sea serpent, so we'd thought to use that as an excuse for these three to prepare and capture him. Then we let Fred care for that while we handled some issues in the city. He apparently knows a bit about these pokemon and thought to make Gyarados into a ride. Something or someone figured that out and used some gizmos to set Gyarados off into a rampage. So we had him, the device and a heartless outbreak to deal with." He inhaled a breath and exhaled. "We're looking into who's the mastermind behind that. But Gyarados will need to be let out once we find a more... quiet zone for him."

Leon silently stepped back with an impressed smile as Sora noticed the movement and asked. "Leon, what's a Gyarados?" The youngster repeated an answer. "The Dex! Beating one and catching one is a huge deal." He wagged a finger. "Be sure to teach who ever hurt him, that there are scarier things than a pokemon like that."

Sora was looking up the entry as Ken had a distinct stare, promising that he will inflict punishment when he has the chance. Kairi took control of the chat and saw the Zorua had a similar set of blue eyes. Ven presented the fox with news of his own. I found out where Shadey's egg went to hatch. Kit brought him all the way to Gravity Falls, where he was reborn as a Zorua." Sora heard the familiar name as the Wayfinder continued the topic. "A pokemon with the power to make illusions out of himself and hide in plain sight. He's been doing that in Gravity Falls for days."

Shadey looked over to Xion and barked a hello, the black haired girl had hearts in her eyes. "You look so cute, Shadey!" Ken closed his eyes in pleasure, breathed easily and put a hand to his chest before looking the fox in the eyes. "Welcome back Shadey, a lot of us missed you." He smiled as Sora got over a joke. "Who ever turned Shadey into this is definitely a wise guy. But-" he smirked. "it's good to know you've been doing fine. What kind of friends you made?"

Shadey looked over to Ven and Virtu as an account logged in, identical to the incoming Wayfinder. Ven hurried with a list. "I'm thinking Bursty, Kit and a lot of pokemon that wandered here. We only got started and he was the only one I caught. I'm tracking a Rotom down at a mall and I'm hoping this idea I have works. Aqua has more that she'll show when she gets back."

Ken raised a pinky. "It's Gravity Falls, expect anything to be so hidden that you got to have another look." Ven admitted. "We just found pokemon that we're not ready to catch yet, not just Bursty."

A camera turned on, showing a completely unfocused Terra who had little idea to what he was doing. He was astonished at what he turned on as his Lil' Bro waved. "It's about time Terra, how are you doing?" The oldest was ready to swallow his pride. "I'm finally in this after getting to hear it from the Pokemon themselves. Give them a hand in learning and they're more than capable of fighting bigger things with us."

Leon saw an Ursaring and Cadet readying some bedding material for the floor and did some math. "Terra and I ended up in a world where the Pokemon had to be hauled off. One of them is even a big family of Nidos. So... we have a substantial amount in comparison." Namine applied some math and spoke through Kairi. "Over double what we've all caught combined. We've been told that Terra's got a lead over us because of all the fighting." Ven, Virtu and Shady stepped back in shock by something that impressive. "Woah!" The Lil' Bro cheered. "Hah! I'd knew you be amazing out there!"

Terra had some well earned pride as he began his report. "We had to deal with some wicked hearts that wanted to kill these pokemon and an actual demon that wanted to burn the entire Pridelands. So what's been going on at that town?"

Ven sighed, feeling an issue that was relatable for him. "Someone's having trouble getting a girlfriend for a very important date. He couldn't even say a pick up line right and he tried to give one to you know who." Terra felt an explosion in his brain at one of the most suicidal actions one can do with Aqua. "Is he crazy or something?" Ven corrected him. "He was desperate, okay. He was turned down rather well, all things considered." T

he door opened and Ven saw Aqua returning with her selection of misfits, Milady, Spinerak and Goomy. "Speaking of which." He stood up. "Aqua, we got a big call."

The group watched Aqua sit down in Ven's place, clearly expecting a lot as Goomy and Spinerak was on her shoulders, the Lilligant joined in to have a look at the technology and brought Leon to another surprise. The Keyblade Master petted her shoulder companions and asked. "Did I miss everything?"

Kairi raised a finger, hesitate to say so. "Not quiet, most of this is going to be on recording, just in case. You can also be told from Ven in case you're missing a detail. What kind of progress did you make? Despite the problem we've been hearing?" Aqua knew the mentioned ordeal and didn't know what to feel on that. "Because of the work load, Ven and I had to split up to cover more ground. I was doing some exploring and rescued some pokemon from the local cryptids, while Ven is having a day catching his second pokemon and have made an arrangement with another. If a Rotom could inhabit a phone or an Arcade machine, then imagine how convenient one could be for battle?"

Leon didn't need to. "Very, very, very convenient!" Aqua continued along at what the next day would bring. "Kit's set up some supplies we can use to make more poke balls and as soon as we are able to, we'll search the more hidden places of the world." She looked over to Terra and saw an Ursaring curling asleep on a bed of pillows, while the Cadet sat by her and powered his flame down.

She tried to keep things professional. "I see you are all making a lot of progress as well. It's been a day and we already miss you." Ken blushed. "I miss you too, Mom." Kairi giggled with her Lil' Bro. "Mother, have you spotted any pokemon that have traveling equipment? They're friends with Azu!"

Aqua widen her eyes. "We might have, we've found a Togekiss that was holding a bag and dived down into this strange labyrinth to help Ven out." Azu jumped. (That's her! That's definitely her!) Aqua saw she predicted well. "That's another one down." She knew Terra finished with one world, likely in flying colors. "Terra, it's good to see you're making the most progress. Just by seeing that Teddiursa has evolved." She cringed. "I hate to say this, but I'm still going to advise strongly against coming over to the town as your next stop."

Terra felt that regret. "But-" Aqua interrupted him. "but Bill is able to fool me! He can find a way into your head and there will be no telling what he'll say and do to make us suddenly forget that he's a psychopathic freako."

Hayner agreed with that. "If someone else is dumb enough to make a deal with him, then that's all they'll need to get into parts of your head that no one should have any business being in. Anyone could be working with or for him and they'd might not even know."

Terra imagined a chain of duplicity much more elaborate than a villain simply lying to his face or twisting a story around, he flinched in terror. "Point taken. So this means I still got to tag along with these guys until you are out of there."

Aqua nodded. "That would be advised." Ven knew where it was due. "But, I know what you did on that world is beyond amazing!" Aqua gave a smirk that caused Terra to blush and asked. "Speaking of monsters in the shadows, have we figured out where the Shadow attacks are coming from?"

Riku nodded. "We have and let's start with the good news, Maleficent has nothing to do with it. It's some demon we know nothing about. But, the Mistress of All Evil has figured out that there are pokemon lost in the worlds and someone's given her the means to catch them."

Terra, Aqua and Ven cringed, with the youngest cursing. "Crud!" The oldest of the Destiny Trio advised. "If you find a pokemon that you aren't ready to catch. Keep them on a close eye and don't ever leave them alone. She might be watching."

Aqua let him know. "Don't worry about our end, our friend's going to watch over Bursty, Kadabra and Togekiss. Besides, I have plans tonight, to find this weird pokemon that escaped from that weird, crystal Labyrinth."

The Destiny Trio became more awake as Xion scratched the side of her head. "Crystals?" The Keyblade Master asked. "Have any of you found a giant crystal that brings you somewhere strange? Like the one Miraidon used?" Sora took a deep breath. "Yeah, we found another one that Miraidon made to help us out. What kind of pokemon are you talking about?"

Aqua took her phone and plugged it in. "I'm downloading the image. If you found one as well, you should do the same." Riku and Terra did so in a heart beat as Leon had his phone down load a whole file. "We're figuring out that these Prehistoric looking Pokemon might just be half of the problem. Don't take any of this for anything, but they have to be connected to Miraidon."

There was a file of seven images, along with the three. Sora started with the one that Aqua and Ven discovered, as the two Wayfinders started with the three the other squads have found. The Great Tusk, Flutter Mane, Brute Bonnet and the dragon on the front cover of a book, Koraidon. Riku explained in detail. "When we were trying to find a pokemon that had been wanting to come along, she was gone and this one came in shortly after she disappeared. Bring up Donphan, Misdreavus and what ever looks like the pokemon you've found."

Aqua had to be specific on what occurred. "A pokemon the Pines had to run from. But we got the image even though we never saw it. Is something hacking our phones?" Kairi showed a picture of Mismagius for good measure. "Mother, this was likely what Misdreavus planned on evolving into. Look at the numbers and tell me that Flutter Mane is a normal step?"

She had a look at the power level and gasped, she was certainly not going to be in denial. "This isn't an evolved form?!" Leon shook his head and went into an outburst. "Heck no, it isn't!"

Xion recognized the shape of the Bonnet. "And this looks like an Amoongus!" The power level of that one is a bigger surprise and Ken half dropped his eye lids. "So we've read up a supposed fairy tale about these pokemon and it turns out, they're real. What's so bad about this?"

Leon waved a hand at the rhetorical question. "The entries for them are all vague save for the typing, the only thing we know about these pokemon is straight from the Scarlet Book and believe me, they're as strong as they look. Check the other half, please!" The group did so and found a picture of robotic shapes, a Donphan with glowing red treads, a Hariyama with glowing yellow hands and a sumo skirt of yellow, a Tyranitar with glowing green lights in sockets of the chest, a robotic Hydregion, a Volcarona resembling a solar panel, a Delibird robot that Kairi flinched at and what looked to be a warrior resembling a Gallade with a dress skirt and a pink double bladed polearm.

The Princess pointed at the Delibird. "That one! That's something this crazy lady showed to me in the Labyrinth! She called it the Iron Bundle!" She and her friends looked to the youngster, with tension. "Leon, how long have you know about that?!" The boy raised his hands. "These have all been from a paranormal magazine, along with the Prehistoric Pokemon. I didn't think those robots were going to matter until we started seeing the Great Tusk with our own eyes and realized that something connected with Miraidon. Also known as, the Iron Serpent."

The Princess believed that. "Well, they matter now." She warned those who aren't in the know. "If you go into those places and found this blonde lady that's acting strange, be careful, she is up to something!" The band heeded the warning and Ken pleaded. "Sis, we're going to find out about that, one way or another. Is there a detail about the Great Tusk that we need to know about?"

Terra promised. "That one helped us save both the Pokemon and the Pridelands. What ever is going on, is a lot more complicated than we're being lead on." Leon seconded that. "More importantly, if you see anymore of those crystals, do not go into them unless you're certain it is worth the trouble." Ven showed the Tera Orb and the crystal. "Like those or the sun stone Petilil used?"

Leon was wide mouth and saw Sora recognizing the crystal. The younger spikey haired boy had a second look. "No way! That's the stuff a pokemon can eat if they want to turn into a different tera type!" Leon pointed to the device. "And that's the Tera Orb to trigger it. So, this explains the Lilligant as well? It's another Hisuian Pokemon that isn't common anymore, a strong physical attacker who can power herself up even more with the rumored victory dance!"

That was another detail Aqua wanted to bring up. "And apparently, who ever that woman is, she and Arceus have to be working together too. So who is she and what is she wanting with the Alpha?"

The name had Kairi feel a mixture of thoughts. "That's suppose to be a good thing, right?" Ken nodded. "Sis, that guy has helped us all when we needed it the most. So maybe if we can get a good look at this lady from other places... we can figure out more about her?"

Sora felt something familiar with what was described. "Maybe there's something we didn't figure out until now? Kairi, was there anything she was saying that made sense?"

The Princess recited what she was told. "Something that happened with some of our toys and what goes on in this one world we've visited. About a forming heart using the world as a guideline to be their own person." Ken remembered. "We've brought those along for when we goof off. So she knows some stuff about a heart, is pulling some strings under our noses and she's trying to test us or something?!"

Aqua pressed her hands together. "The Pine Twins thought this woman is a bit on the crazy side, but that's what she was talking about. She was wearing a different dress to look like a sage and she has a different eye color for each one." Sora blinked and remembered a woman in a orange dress, a pair of black pants and short blonde hair, having those exact same eyes.

The two descriptions came together and he relaxed. "I've seen her before, she was the one I saw before all those keyblades came to help us at the end of that war!" He smiled. "What ever she's planning, we can trust her."

Those who witnessed that, found that insane enough to be believed, Ken asked with a blush. "She lent that to you? At that place?!" He signaled to his squad. "Oh yeah, I'm still not liking the sound of this, but I'm going to guess you'll tell the kid exactly why that's important! Can we do this after our chat is done?"

Sora gave the promise. "Yeah, a lot of us have been hurt because of that Keyblade War. We'll fill Leon in on the details later." Kairi promised with him. "It's going to be up to us to figure this one out."

Aqua was generally impressed. "This is our first day out in the worlds, and we've already made progress in our mission and found a treasure trove of knowledge that we just need to piece together. Kairi, Sora, Riku. The Rescue Team that needs rescuing is across the worlds, what pokemon do we need to pay attention to?"

The Princess readied a list for a download. "I'll have this ready before we log off. Lil' Bro, did you capture a pokemon already? Because two won't hold you forever." Ken didn't think it hurt to show a dusk ball and let out an eager, if large, Pawniard that gave a distinct hiss. Leon and Terra had a gleam in their eyes as the one armed boy gave the sharp blade some space. "We found a gang of Pawniards that were lost in the city and let's just say having these guys around is a blast! Say hello to the gang and the lady in blue. She's, my Boss!"

The Pawniard had a look to Aqua and crossed his blades in a salute, Leon silently showed a heavy ball and stepped back. "Ken, there's a Pokemon I'm having on reserve, that's talked about missing a clan of these pokemon and some Bisharps. So keep that Pawniard from breaking something, screens don't work like that." The one armed boy whispered. "Yeah, we can talk through these, but we can't rush through them to get to the other side." The Pawniard pouted as Leon let out a Kingambit that was surprised by the scenery, at the sight, the sharp blade jumped and sweated. (Big boss?! Where have you been?)

The Kingambit recognized the voice and turned to see a lacky of his. (Pawniard?!) He scooted to the screen and demanded. (State what's been going on with the clan?! Where are the others?!) Pawniard reported. (The Pawniards are at first floor with some trustworthy fighting types.) He cringed at that word. (But the Bisharps aren't anywhere to be seen before we got caught by the humans.) Luna Kaua calmed down and nodded. (That's not good,) He corrected himself. (It's great that someone's looking after you. But not good for what kind of trouble the Bisharps are going to be in for.)

Leon thought to intervene for a moment. "If you haven't read, a Pawniard gang is an issue with the Bisharp leading them. A stronger, ruthless and sneaky pokemon that you should run from at the first and only chance you'll have. A Kingambit, is not only the evolved form of Bisharp, but is the one leading them and the Pawniards." Pence flinched. "Oooooooh! Those guys could be out there!" Ken imagine that danger and checked the Dex for a fast read on a number. "Yikes that's a big level! So, your highness, we're going to expect the Bisharps to be the bigger dudes who would try to be their own boss at the first shot and if they're... separated from the pack, could cause some infighting as we speak?"

The Kingambit grunted. (If I don't have them gathered and on the know for long, the clan will move on without me and try to elevate one of them into the next king! If they're in that city with you and they know you have those Pawniards-) He shook his head as Ken smiled nervously. "We got a pack mentality that can take care of itself, but we'll be in a whole lot of trouble if we don't sort that. I'm not sure if the squad can handle that, but let's just say at most, two of us can deal with it with force if it's needed."

His stare returned and he noticed something occurring as Luna Kaua scooted away with advise. (If you got to do that, be scarier than what they can be when someone crosses them!)

Azumarril promised him. (Believe me, this kid can get scary when he wants to be.) Kairi thought of an idea. "Ken, sometime tomorrow, we're going to need you to come over to help us with something. We'll need more information before we send Gambit over there, because the Bisharps could be in a different world for all we know."

Leon agreed with that. "It's sometimes better to play the longer game, than it is to rush it and miss out on things that will cost you." Ken's aware. "Yeah, and that's another problem. Bryn turned herself into a base that's hidden in an abandoned building. She's not leaving until the jobs done. But I'll figure out something."

Kairi pointed at him. "Don't use those corridors, at worst you'll have to brain storm." Ken and the Twilight Town Trio looked to one another in an idea. "Already done that, remember the dudes who used those special doors? Maybe with the aid of the Keyblade, we can make the next best thing? How's that Company even able to do it?" Kairi sighed at a working project. "We haven't had the need to ask until now, Lil' Bro." The siblings in arms shared a smile at the simple genius.

Somewhere in Gravity Falls.

In a dark clutter of a room, something wiggled out of a wall socket, with plans of mischief. A Rotom that found himself in a haven of electronics, he heard someone coming and looked to find a computer to use. An idea came to the plasma sprite and he unplugged the computer, why let the human play with a simple game, when the human can play around with him?

He zipped a jolt into the computer and watched a familiar Soos enter, the Rotom played along with the computer's activation and even let him place in a cd for the rom. On entry of the disk, Rotom felt a force eject him right out of the computer, like a brutal punch to his being. The Rotom was confused and tried to get back in, only to be barred from entering. He saw the screen come a light and zipped into hiding to watch. Soos watched a digital plane shine and a logo fly to the screen. A year 2000 Electronics. "Man I can't wait for the year 2000."

The screen lit up to pink sparkles and the silhouette of a school girl with a bow tie that resembles cords. It showed the title of the game and jingled 16 bit music. Soos clicked to start the game. "Eh, start!" The game moved on to a back drop of cherry blossom trees and flowing petals. "when the cherry petals of magic romance academy are in bloom, anthyding can hadplen."

Rotom cringed as Soos didn't consider the typos. "That is so true." The screen shifted over to a character to interact with on the screen. A girl with long pink hair, wearing a white shirt, a blue skirt and a white, blue and pink stripped bow tie with the plugs of a machine cord. She was crossing her arms and holding a book. "Oh, ha. Hi there. My name is Giffany. I'm a school girl at School Girl University. Will you help me carry my books?"

Three options were made.

1. Yes of course.

2. I'm impatient! Date me Now! And

3. Hey look a squid!

Soos didn't think too much into his choice. "I'm really feeling number 2 here." Rotom rolled his eyes as Soos clicked, not only did the words turn red, but a symbol of a broken heart showed. BZZT! Soos yelped. "Ah! I messed up!" He put a hand to his face at another failure as Giffany took over the screen and encouraged. "That's okay, try again."

The screen went to normal and Soos went for the first option. The screen glittered in dropping coins and a golden cat statue that gave an angry moan. Soos was impressed by that first step. "Wow, I'm learning and games are making it fun." Giffany asked him. "What would you like to talk about?"

Your interests!

Samurai!

Squid!

Rotom blinked awkwardly "Why squids?" as Soos went for a fourth option. "I'd rather just click your face." Nothing happened on the first click, though the second one caused Giffany to laugh in a robotic tone. "Ha, ha. You are so funny."

The grown up wrapped around the influence of the game. "Man, this game is amazing. I don't know why anyone abandon it." Giffany grew glittery eyed. "And I'm sure you'll never abandon me. New boyfriend!" Rotom felt that was oddly specific for a program, while Soos didn't pick up that que. "Boyfriend? Ho ho. Oh my Giffany, it's almost like you're actually alive." The program joked around. "Yes," and looked right at the Rotom. "almost." She and Soos went about in laughter as Rotom was left cowering in terror.
