Meeting the Clan Leaders
The Loud siblings, Akari, and Rei enter Galaxy Hall and make their way up to Commander Kamado's office. As they look inside, they see him talking to two people that some of the siblings recognized; Adaman and the girl that Lincoln, Luna, and Lisa saw earlier on their way to Deertrack Heights.
"What do you plan to do about that Kleavor, Commander Kamado?!" asked Adaman. "He may be descended from a warrior of almighty Sinnoh, but look at the mess he's causing. We can't sit back and let him rage on!"
"You do get right to the point, Adaman..." said Commander Kamado.
"Time wasted is lost." Adaman replied.
"Well, tell me what would you have us do?" asked Commander Kamado. "Kleavor is a precious lord of the Pearl Clan, is he not?"
"That's the point." said Adaman. "My clan can't intervene directly where a lord of the Pearl Clan's concerned. If my people were to do something, our two clans might end up back at each other's throats just like we used to be."
"That is true." said Commander Kamado.
"But even folk of the Galaxy Team have been wounded, haven't they?" asked Adaman. "Seems someone's got to do something here..."
"Who, then?" asked the girl. "Would the Diamond Clan have the Pearl Clan bring down one of its own honored nobles?"
"I don't believe I said that." said Adaman. "Thought it, maybe."
"You might as well have said it, you fool!" said the girl. "Look, we don't even know what drove Lord Kleavor into such a violent frenzy."
"I'd like to know that myself." said Adaman. "This is a first as far as my clan knows, too."
"What's going on?" asked Lincoln from the doorway, getting Commander Kamado, Adaman, and the girl's attention.
"Loud siblings; I'm pleased you can all make it." said Commander Kamado.
"Oh, I've heard about you all." said Adaman. "You all have earned Lord Wyrdeer's favor."
"Hello, Adaman." said Leni with a blush.
"Greetings to you as well, Leni." Adaman replied with a blush.
"Oh, I see you've met." said Commander Kamado.
"This maiden and I met near the clothier." said Adaman.
"To those who don't know who our two guests are; the young man with the blue robe is Adaman, leader of the Diamond Clan; and this young girl is Irida, leader of the Pearl Clan." said Commander Kamado. As the girl, now known as Irida, looks at the Loud siblings; her eyes settle on Lincoln.
"Oh, it's you." said Irida with a smile.
"Hi." said Lincoln.
"You two met?" asked Commander Kamado.
"We met earlier on Aspiration Hill." said Lincoln.
"I see." said Commander Kamado.
"My name is Lincoln Loud." Lincoln says to Irida. "I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier."
"That's okay." said Irida. "I didn't introduce myself either." Lincoln then introduces his sisters to Adaman and Irida.
"I find it hard to believe that one couple can have so many kids." said Adaman.
"As do I." said Irida.
"I assure you that it is, in fact, true." said Lisa.
"What are your parents like?" asked Adaman.
"They don't remember them." said Akari.
"You don't?" asked Irida as she looks at the Loud siblings with pity.
"Professor Laventon, my sister, and I found the Loud siblings on Prelude Beach over a week ago." said Rei. "They have almost no memories of their pasts, except their names and the fact that they're siblings."
"I'm sorry to hear that." said Adaman.
"But I'm pretty sure we weren't called here to talk about our pasts." said Lincoln.
"Of course you're right, Lincoln; we're wasting time when we have more pressing concerns to discuss." said Adaman. He and Irida turn back towards Commander Kamado, but not before Irida winks at Lincoln, making him blush, his sisters giggle, and Akari frown.
"Since you all know each other, I propose we send the Loud siblings to investigate Lord Kleavor and try to figure out what is to be done with him." said Commnader Kamado.
"Can we really trust people with very little experience?" asked Irida.
"This from a leader with little experience?" replied Adaman.
"Being a good leader isn't a matter of time; it's a matter of embracing Hisui's vastness without fear!" said Irida.
"Well, then, there you have it." said Adaman. "If how new you are doesn't matter, then let's give the Loud siblings a chance."
"So wise." said Leni with awe, making Adaman look at her with a smile, making Leni blush.
"I'm sold, Commander; let's try it your way!" said Adaman. "This should be fun. I'll get to see how good you Galaxy folk really are, with all your weird ways, putting Pokemon in those strange balls and what have you."
"That whole practice bothers me!" exclaimed Irida. "Almighty Sinnoh made Hisui so Pokemon could live freely throughout. We're meant to stand alongside Pokemon, not count ourselves among them!"
"We do not use pokeballs from a desire to control our Pokemon. Only so that we can live together." said Commander Kamado.
"You saw back on Aspriation Hill that Lincoln never keeps his Pokemon in his pokeballs." said Luna.
"This is true." said Irida with a smile.
"He does everything with his Pokemon." said Lori. "He eats with them, sleeps with them, battles alongside them, and relaxes and plays with them whenever he has the time to."
"Yeah, he treats them like they're practically family." said Luan. Irida looks at Lincoln with admiration.
"Allow the Loud siblings to show what we can do!" said Commander Kamado before turning his attention towards the Loud siblings. "This is your mission now; I order you to study Kleavor and help us find the truth of this situation!"
"This would be a fine opportunity to study a new species of Pokemon for the pokedex." said Lisa.
"We'll do it!" said Lincoln.
"Remember, you and your siblings are people who appeared out of nowhere." said Commander Kamado. "People are naturally suspicious of your presence here."
"Understood." said Lori.
"If you wish to be fully accepted and trusted, you must work hard. Work yourself to the very bone." said Commander Kamado.
"You got it!" said Lynn.
"Well, that's settled." said Adaman. "And there's no time like the present!"
"The Lord of the Woods, Kleavor, is descended from a Pokemon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh's own power." said Irida. "No other Pokemon you've yet encountered can compare to his strength."
"Then we'll be sure to prepare before we investigate." said Lisa.
"That would be wise." said Adaman. He and Irida then start to exit Commander Kamado's office; but before they do, Adaman looks at Leni. "I hope you be careful."
"Thank you, Adaman." said Leni with a smile and blush. As Irida walks by the Loud siblings, she stops next to Lincoln.
"I wish you and your sisters success in figuring out a solution to Lord Kleavor's rage." said Irida.
"Thank you." said Lincoln. Irida then gives Lincoln a quick kiss on the cheek, making him freeze up and blush, his sisters squeal with excitement, and Akari growl a little.
Meanwhile at the Crimson Mirelands, the Miss Fortune Sisters were sneaking away from the ruins they were observing before.
"We will infiltrate the ruins in a week's time to see what we can steal." said Coin.
"Agreed." said Charm. Suddenly, Clover snarls while clenching her fists.
"What is wrong with you, sister?" asked Coin.
"I got a feeling that something is going on with my future husband." said Clover with a frown.
"That white-haired boy with the sisters that are working on that pokedex?" asked Charm.
"Yes." said Clover.
"Speaking of the pokedex; do you think those Loud siblings have added more knowledge to it?" asked Coin.
"If they did, it will be worth more than what it was before." said Charm.
"Let's go back to the Obsidian Fieldlands and see if we can find them and try stealing it again." said Coin. Clover's eyes light up at the idea.
"Let's do that!" said Clover.
"You just want to see that Lincoln boy again." said Charm.
"So?!" Clover replied. "I want to check on him as long as we're trying to steal the pokedex."
"Fine." said Charm. The sisters then start heading for the Obsidian Fieldlands.
Back at Galaxy Hall after the excitement has settled down and Adaman and Irida left, the Commander continued to talk to the Loud siblings.
"Listen to me; The Galaxy Expedition Team has come to the Hisui Region as a group of outsiders." said Commander Kamado. "Some might call us interlopers; we mustn't do anything to threaten our relations with the Diamond and Pearl Clans. Understand?"
"Yes." replied the Loud siblings in unison.
"Join me downstairs, Loud siblings; we will cover the details of this new mission." said Cyllene from behind them, getting their attention.
"Okay, Captain." replied Lincoln. Cyllene walked downstairs and the Loud siblings followed.
"Hey, Lincoln." said Lori with a smirk on her face.
"Yeah?" Lincoln replied.
"Do you think Clover will be jealous if she finds out about that Irida girl kissing you?" asked Lori, making Lincoln blush.
"You better hope not." said Luna.
"Yeah, a girl wouldn't like another one going after their guy." said Leni. Lincoln gulps in response.
"Could we just drop it and go to the captain's office?" asked Lincoln.
"Oooookaaaaaaay." said the Loud sisters in a teasing manner.
Will they find a way to put a stop to Lord Kleavor's rage? Wait and find out.
