Over towards the down town of Traverse, Roxas was formulating a plan with his squad. Pointing towards a direction towards the housing going to the wilderness and pointing towards a mote flowing from the underside of the town. "I'm getting a feeling if you follow that, you'll find the water works." Denryk recalled. "Somewhere beyond the sewer system, where some of the rain water gets used to make it flow."

The squad leader nodded back. "And were something or someone can hide. Now that we've let those guys know, we got to show that these pokemon are more than just some random minion to boss around for-" he rolled his eyes. "what ever." He crossed his arms and smirked, looking forward to the upcoming events. "If this concert goes right, it will do just the trick."

Namine thought more into the plan and snapped her fingers. "The more of them rocking out, the more harmony we can achieve. We need someone to pass word along to Medy."

Denryk raised a hand and was looking down at the mote, mapping out which way leads to which. "I can do that if we can demonstrate the idea. Shouldn't be too hard." The Scraggy at his hip agreed and is hurrying into the town to follow the water, the hoodlum gasped and kept behind while Dupmic and Schemy followed.

Leaving the two to explore the neighborhood, along with Ceruledge and the Arty Smeargle. They were hearing an ominous echo of banjo music and followed it to a backyard in a cul-de-sac. Where Sylvia was wagging her finger like a metronome and enjoying the sound of Wander playing a banjo, bringing about a melody that was amplified with aid of a strange bipedal, hippo like creature with ears resembling a sound speaking. Carrying two birds on his head; a chatting parrot with a musical note and a swallow with dark blue feathers across his back and red at his face and neck. The living loud speaker inhaled and joined in chirping birds into amplifying the music, using an echoing hyper voice to make a small band.

Roxas cringed. "Ah crud." Sylvia was so entwined by the melody that she didn't hear that part. "Man! Who'd thought these guys can play it!" Wander turned to notice the arrivals and waved. "Hey guys! We've already got to finding some friends out here." Namine snapped her fingers to a choice of words. "And it looked like you hit it off in an instant. We've gotten word that some of the locals are wanting to make a concert that will help welcome our visitors. Would you all like to help out?"

Roxas was using a dex to identify the three pokemon in question. The loud speaker beast is known as Loudred, the parrot is a Chatot and the swallow is Taillow. The Loudred stomped and cheered in a moral boosted agreement, Roxas saw the chance and ready a ball. "There's just one thing." He sent out the steel type Meowth as Ceruledge crossed his blades for battle. "You three need to be caught." Arty hurried by his companions side as Namine took a deep breath in confidence. The Pokemon listened the language of battle, with the birds flying left and right.

Roxas pointed at what looks to be the bigger threat. "Meowth, fake out that Loudred while Ceruledge throws the wisps!" The Meowth dashed and clapped at the big voice beast as Taillow disappeared and struck through the Ceruledge as an aerial ace, Chatot squinted her eyes at Smeargle and chirped an annoying taunt. The witch pointed. "Nuzzle that one!"

The Smeargle sprinted after the parrot and crackled static electricity as Ceruledge flipped over the Loudred and tossed down burning wisps. Roxas followed. "Metal claw that Taillow while Ceruledge charges Loudred!" Meowth gave a swift slash at the bird as Ceruledge ignited and tackled the Loudred, he back flipped as the bird countered with a growl and made way for Loudred to yell a scrappy hyper voice. The three pokemon were sent back as Roxas tossed a pokeball at Taillow to get it out of the way. In three shakes, the tiny swallow was caught. Chatot retaliated with a flap of scorching winds, Meowth hid behind the Ceruledge that took the blast while Smeargle was sent back in a burn. Meowth sprinted after the Chatot as Ceruledge charged the Loudred for enhanced flames. The parrot was unable to move and the big voice blew out a smoke screen and made a distance, Namine and Roxas readied great balls and toss it at their targets.

Tap! Bop! Bop! Shake...shake...shake... click!

With the capture successful, the duo let the three out and brought out a potion to remedy the wounds and aliments. Wander was confused at the fighting while Sylvia was having an idea of how the three could work as a music band. "So, where do we start."

Simultaneously.

The team of hoodlums were through a gate way under town and saw the river flow out of a filtration machine, close by was a series of pipes that go into something further bellow, a place where all the debris and waste ought to go. Denryk and Dupmic found the fresher water captivating while Schemy and Scraggy heard a faint scuffle and hurried to an empty station with many corridors and stair ways going into the under ground network. A duo of creatures were holding their own against a pack of boar men. One was a yellow, big nosed, monkey like creature with a collar of white fur, the other was a large, purple cobra, with a hood pattern that resembles an intimidating face, right bellow the head. A Hypno and an Arbok. Dupmic rushed into battle and sent out the bouncy Spoink while Denryk had Scraggy ready a dragon dance. The hoodlum drew out his bat and blitz a particularly large boar man, striking the side of it's head and sending out the Flingy Pineco. "Bug bite his neck!"

Flingy flipped at the unversed shoulder and bit down, forcing the beast to focus on that while Scraggy delivered a tripping low kick. Arbok and Hypno took the chance at some of the pack that was getting blasted by psybeams and soul power, the cobra gave a glare to one side as Hypno used his pendulum to hypnotize the other side. Denryk stood on the back of the alpha and fired his las pistol at the back of the head, finishing it off while Flingy twirled and let loose a wide scatter of toxic spikes for the boar men to be tossed on. Dupmic dived down at the center of the paralyzed pack and let loose a shock wave with his polearm blade while Schemy partook in some foul play. The keybearer back flipped in style as the hoodlums marched into the center, the boys kept back to back. Dupmic focused into the shadows and fired his invisible bolts of devastation while Denryk focused his aim. Arbok fired a barrage of scales at his end as Hypno hypnotized himself and rushed at his end for fast zen head butts.

Denryk felt a sudden urge and looked to a corridor to find specters lining up cross bows for him and Dupmic. "Incoming fire!"

Dupmic noticed the snipers and flowed after each one, making short work of them as Denryk kept to the movement and fired sniper shots back. The Arbok and Hypno intercepted the last of the boar man and finished it off with poison jab and a drain punch. With the danger being adverted and the darkness receding, the boys reunited and high fived each other while the pokemon took the time to calm down. Hypno felt something wasn't quite right, tapped his companion in arms and looked to the boys that were directing a stare at them. Dupmic looked to Denryk and gave him the honors. "Scraggy-" Hypno and Arbok hurried to a stair way up as a means of escape, the Scraggy flipped over and gave a clap at the Cobra, knocking him to his back. The snake flipped and hissed towards Hypno. (Save yourself, I got this!)

The hypnotist hoped so and didn't look back as the Arbok showed his face like pattern and hissed, Scraggy was intimidated and intimidated back as Dupmic had Spoink intercept and deliver a psybeam blast.

The poison type hissed and coiled around before lunging at the Spoink and gave a warning crunch, Scraggy performed a dragon dance as Spoink used confuse ray to get away. Arbok turned fast to give a glare at Scraggy, only to hit a box by accident and be struck in payback, Dupmic shadow stepped above the box and used a black heavy ball to drop down at the snake. It landed on the ground, gave a shake and sparked a click. Denryk phewed. "So that iron shopping came in a clutch with those apricorns?" He looked to where the Hypno got away to and thought. "Now for the other pokemon, I think I heard of this one."

Dupmic picked up the Arboks ball. "Hypno, hypnotizes people and pokemon so he can eat their dreams. Kind of creepy, but also pretty harmless unless he has to fight" He pointed up. "and we got a whole town of dreamers, so it would only be a matter of time before we find him again."

Denryk nodded meekly. "Yep, yep. Wouldn't make as much of a scene as a big giant cobra." The boys ready a call back for the Pineco and Spoink before turning back where they came and search the water way. Bringing them into a stair way towards a small cave, going into a hidden lake that from as far as Denryk could remember, was where Merlin use to make a home out of. They noticed a melody that was combined with the croaking of a frog.

At the central island, was a blue sea lion with what looked to be a white frilly dress, singing with a large green tree frog. A Brionne and a Politoed that was entertaining a head bobbing, blue, snort snout crocodilian, with red frill spikes on the back of his head, his back and tail. The lower jaw was cream colored and the rest of his body, hidden bellow the water, had a cream colored torso that resembles the wears of a caveman. The four were drawn into the beauty and Scraggy kicked a loose pebble by accident, bringing the attention of the water types. The Singers realized someone was listening to them and were growing nervous while the crocodilian, Croconaw, was sinking more into the water. Dupmic waved his hand to try and calm the lot down. "Hey, hey, we're not hear for a fight." He thought fast. "In fact, I know something who would love to help out with that song."

Denryk gasped. "I know who you're talking about, Medy would flip!" He sent out Waltza and Mimer, who were taken aback by the tranquil water. The hoodlum barked out to the water types. "You mind if we play around a little? These three-" He pointed a thumb to the dancers and Scraggy. "know how to dance." The dark type blushed in a confession. (Well, if it worked once.)

Croconaw snorted at the water as Brionne gasped at the Oricorio and clapped in a welcoming. Politoed danced and clapped to the idea as Waltza flapped her wings and leaped over to the island, Mimer mimic the pose of a bird, jumped over the water and had his legs kick around like one would the pedals of a bike, hovering over the water in a style that made the bystanders surprised.

Denryk used the chance to whisper to his squad mate. "Feeling bad about this being a capture plan. Go find the dude while we keep them entertained."

Dupmic blushed, looked to his Murkrow and headed out the door, it wasn't much to track activity over at the Clock Tower and find Litzia and her partners drawing a plan to lure down Lunatone. She asked her Solrock. "We'll need a lure to show that we don't mean any danger." Medy was setting a tune with Jigglypuff and Kricketune, instructing Toxel. "Once we get the right beat, try that belch." The lizard picked up a piece of fruit in preparation, listening to the guitarist set up a tone for the singer and violinist to follow on, the lizard munched on the fruit and swallowed to build up gas and waited for a high pitch.

"BELCH!"

The wave set a que to lower the tune. Dupmic was impressed, looked to Murkrow and approached in humility. "Hey, are you busy right now?" The guitarist turned in boredom. "Not really, letting our... boss make the plans is kind of boring." Litzia heard that and notice Dupmic without his squad. "We need to be sure we can pull it off, it's like playing a puzzle game with yourself." She snapped her fingers. "Could this be a solution?"

Schemy giggled. (A solution to two puzzles, maybe?) Dupmic rubbed the Murkrow on the chin. "It might. "We found something over at the old lake and we'd need some music to go with ahem. That Pix can help us out with something something too, if you don't mind."

The small band didn't and the grown ups called back their partners, baring Jigglypuff and Pix. They followed Dupmic and his Krow all the way back to the grotto, where Denryk and his partners were dancing in a combination of elegance and fierceness. Joining in was a Croconaw that is having a reptilian rivalry with Scraggy.

Brionne and Politoed were singing together and Medy remembered an entry he read. "Woah, woah! That's a younger stage of that siren the girl has with her!" He giggled like a child as he set his sight on Politoed. "And that's some Polilulling I tell you what."

Denryk halted his dance, turned in harmony and smirked as Dupmic advised. "We could start up a music band for the moment. It's the only to bring any sense into Lord Hater." Denryk asked the grown ups. "If we do that, then he won't be a problem for these pokemon and we might even be able to call him a friend if we set our cards right." Scraggy huffed and asked the water types. (What ya thinking? Want to make a show?)

The two pokemon were deciding on that and Medy simply laid out two dive balls before sitting down with Jigglypuff and letting out his band. Litzia gave the lizard some fruit and had Pix tap her feet in a dance.

Denryk gestured to Litzia and Pix, inviting them to join in the simple nightly dance. It was a tad awkward, but the harmony was enough for the two water types to head over and join in the fun. The hoodlum sensed an observation and tilt backwards to see something watching from high above. A yellow eyed shadow of a crescent moon, perching and watching. The crescent moon had feathers and a draconic form to match a beast of primordial ages. The band were noticing the change and looked up to see the shadow, Denryk twirled to stand right up and waved at the crescent moon. The shadow was surprised by the wide smile and simply flew over to get away, showing what is akin to a Salamence. Denryk sighed in disappointment. "Guess that one doesn't want to tag along."

Dupmic recognized the creature, gasped and whispered fast. "What makes you think that thing was wanting to be our friend?" Denryk felt a breath and a sensation of wanting. "I just felt it. She was wondering what we're doing, because the sounds were of a soothing ripple. But there's a lingering doubt of what would happen if she goes down here and let's us see more." He closed his eyes and whispered. "I can relate. But it isn't a bad feeling, to watch and get interested." Litzia heard the faint whisper. "How could you tell if that was it was feeling?"

Denryk wasn't bothered from his words being heard. "It just felt right, everything about this moment felt right and it didn't bother us when we spotted her." He realized what he was sounding like and cringed. "Ah shoot." Medy didn't mind. "Just a little bit of harmony for this crazy, crazy town." He stood up and asked the water types. "If you guys want to help us settle things with this menace, come along and let's get the show going!"

Brionne and Politoed hurried to tap on the dive balls and get themselves caught while Croconaw was a bit skeptical. He looked to Scraggy and growled. (You think about guarding this creek with me?) The Dark type pulled his pants up and hissed. (Show us what ya got!)

The two roared to one another, Scraggy gave an intimidating glare and dashed for a fake out flinch, Denryk wasn't surprised as the Croconaw performed a dragon dance. "Dragon dance and wait." Scraggy did so as Croconaw rushed, frost up his teeth and bit down with sheer force. Denryk punched forward. "Payback!" Scraggy punched the Croconaw away, the croc back flipped and countered the counter with an aqua jet. Denryk spun a kick. "Low kick!"

Scraggy took the blow, step aside and kicked at the crocs feet, making him stumble into the water, Denryk felt a wish that the water type lands in the water. Croconaw was left flailing his arms as he was off balance and splashed into the lake, he flipped to get his head up as Denryk took a dive ball and tossed it. Tap! Splash! Shake...shake...shake... click!

The boy approached calmly, picked up the ball and let out a prideful croc that realized he fumbled. "Alright, no idea how long this will go, but we're on the same page for now." Croconaw grunted as Dupmic turned around in amusement, leading out of the mellow grotto.

At the intersection, soon to be a concert stage.

Roxas and Namine had a preview of Wander using his banjo to help the three pokemon start a sync. A hopeful omen of what is to come. The two noticed their squad mates returning, with Litzia, Medy and quite the haul of pokemon joining in. Including an embarrassed Arbok and a curious, if confused, Croconaw. Dupmic noticed the duo and waved. "We're back with some band mates, you've had a part on this?" Namine nodded, saw Denryk having a pretty fulfilling smile and whispered. "We've gave Wander the idea."

The hoodlum imagined and pointed to the reptiles. "Arbok and Croconaw had to get roughed up, while Politoed and Brionne agreed to go on stage." Medy spotted Wander, Loudred and the birds and signaled to the water types to follow him, Dupmic whispered. "Remember the plan, make sure Wander's out of sight for as long as you can." Medy understood and took off as Sylvia noticed and approached the band, she whispered. "You're going to make sure that when Hater shows up, he doesn't spot Wander right then and there?" The Replica boy nodded. "If things play out, I don't think Hater would care too much when he figures out what he has in common with the guy." It's a hope, Denryk asked his superiors. "You want to help with the special effects? It shouldn't be too hard to pull off."

Roxas agreed to that as he spotted Ninjask and Shedinja finishing their task of setting up the tapestry. He let out Espeon and Umbreon as Namine brought out Arty and the Naganadel. The Witch and her artist helped decorated the stage into something resembling a tropical paradise, while Roxas and the Eevee siblings worked together to make it look like shining star light. Denryk and Scraggy worked on making sure the props were in place. Wander noticed the movement and gasped to an idea, approaching to ask. "Say, do you guys dance a lot?" Scraggy turned and waved a paw. (Sure do!) Denryk admitted. "A lot of my band like to dance."

He twirled to let out Waltza, Mimer and even Flingy. The Pineco spun fast as the Oricorio took a look at the props and gave an elegant step, while Mimer mimic the movement. Scraggy gasped to an idea and hurried to the heavy lifting Croconaw, whispering. (Say, you think this jungle could use some feral force mucking about?) The Croc thought of it as Denryk sensed what was said. "We'll need some convincing shrubbery for you guys to perform like the folks of the jungle." He went over to Namine and asked. "Oi, you think Dolliv can do that?" The witch imagined. "She does know grassy terrain, which can work in that pinch." She rested a paint brush holding hand to her hip and tapped her foot, Denryk sensed a slight. "Something on your mind?"

Namine let out the humble Dolliv and asked her. "We'll need your help to make this stage floral, go talk with Scraggy and Croconaw while I have a word with my Bro."

The olive nodded and hurried as her partner had a scolding. "Just what happened on your patrol, to have gotten you this happy? Just yesterday you were looking like someone who would smack a skull across the road if they looked at you funny."

Denryk wasn't denying it. "We found out about some rowdy pokemon using the water network and we had to try something so those water types don't get scared of us. We spoke with something they could get around." Dupmic over heard, wrapped and arm around Denryk and pointed to the sky. "And our punk over here was in such a good mood, that he sensed some moon dragon that was watching over us."

Denryk blushed meekly. "Come on, that dragon wasn't meaning any harm. Otherwise she would have pounced the moment she was spotted."

Roxas jumped down and tilt his head. "How would you know that?" Denryk closed his eyes calmly. "That feeling I'm getting is telling me so." The squad leader thought out loud. "The same feeling that lead us to rescuing Drampa and to finding out about Ogerpon?" Denryk corrected him. "Similar stuff, but I was having a real good time before it picked up." Namine giggled. "At the least, your drawing that sense from more than just anger."

Suddenly, Litzia finished setting up lights with Solrock and Pix, she over heard and jumped down towards the squad. "When you channel your emotions, it can become a great power to behold. Not just in the form of a weapon or a spell, but as an influence that can make the world that much brighter. Has this foresight been normal?"

Denryk shook his head, not wishing for that feeling to go. "I wouldn't say it is, I'm just really good with a bat and my shots. But that sense, invites all kinds of things that I'm liking." He looked around. "This show isn't much compared to what we did over at Twilight Town-" Roxas helped him finish. "-but if this goes well, we could be set in the long run."

He checked the front stage and found towns people taking interest, a band of Watchdogs were checking out the event as Hater was tolerating Thwacky's drum beating antics and was noticing the decore. "Say, this feels like the kind of stage that we can make some beats!" The grass monkey looked to the tropical theme and was hopping to the stage, prompting Hater to follow and be intercepted by Medy, who was casual in his approach. "Took you long enough, we got an idea that can help lure some pokemon our way and ease up the crowd. You brought that guitar with you?"

Hater brought out a pink, lightning themed guitar. "Don't I always?" Peppers appeared to correct him. "Not when we're out on business. But-" He rolled his eye. "I've heard just about everything that happened at the other town. Is this another contest?"

In a sudden, an Alolan Raichu surfed over with Poppy taking interest, the girl imagined. "Not of this scope and preparation. So the rule for a concert applies, if you're going to work together, that would be just fine." Roxas approached to report. "We're half way to finishing the prep, just sit back and enjoy the show."

Half an hour later.

The event was moments away from beginning and Stalwing was at the center stage, dropping off Wanda, so she can give the final word to the audience of towns people and locals from the Kings Town. She was attempting to operate with a microphone and caused an echo, realizing it's working. "We'd like to thank you all for coming to this little tune. Thought up by our volunteers, who are working diligently into gaining some control over the incident that's ahead of us."

She crouched to Peepers and gave him the microphone. The commander of the on stand by legion took it and waved. "What she said. As some of you are aware, Lord Hater has a habit of playing music ever since we use to live over in our Home Galaxy." He hesitated. "That may have happened because he wanted to impress a villainess that... wasn't interested."

Hater popped his head out of the cover and whispered.

"Peepers, I don't want to talk about that."

The Commander understood. "Well they have to know where this all started." He continued as Hater went back into the stage. "The following is a beat of a tropical jungle, we've got the idea from a... aspiring band mate that will be joining us today. Now hold onto your seats and don't get swept away in the flow-" The curtains pulled away and gave way to the shine of a sun, the glimmer of date and a sparkling wish, transitioning to a stage resembling a jungle close to the shore of the land. "because the jungles out here!" Taking the center stage was Hater and Medy, who allowed a Brionne to take front row as the lead singer. At the back, by the roots of a tree, was the Thwacky.

Wanda, Stalwing and Peepers took their leave and let the band start their performance. Standing by for effect was Loudred, Tailow and Chatot, giving an echo with their voice as Brionne began to hum a tune. Thwacky gave taps with his sticks and started a beat while Hater and Medy played a melody of force and flow that complimented Brionne's watery voice. Rustle! Rustle! The shrubs rustled from fast movement as a figure danced through the trees. The song of a frog joined with Brionne's and caused rain to pour on the stage. Hater was caught off guard by a flowing string of a banjo, he looked left and right, to find on the right, Wander joining in the melody. The skeleton's eyes shot red as he growled. "Wander!"

He was about to order. "Get off of my stage-" and heard the complimenting tune, stopping and raising his finger. "Wait... yeah, that's it." Flip! An Oricorio flew down to land on Wander's hat and danced calmly, Hater ordered fast. "Amp it as soon as the bird gives the chirp!"

Wander and Oricorio was on it, the audience felt themselves with in the tropical domain that was slow to fade to a sun set. Suddenly, a rocky crescent moon with a red eye on each side and a beak in the center of the crescent. The Lunatone glimmered to compliment a dozing drop. With in the shadows, Dupmic stepped out in silence and had a heavy ball at the ready. He got under the moon and tossed hard, getting the moon at the back and bringing it in the ball. It fell to the stage in a thud, shook and clicked. The crowd were giving a round of applause as Thwacky was given a light tap on the back and brought into a pokeball by Litzia.

Click!

Poppy and her Raichu hurried to the stage, quite impressed by the feat as the back stage crew stepped out. The girl in glasses admitted. "That harmonious work of art never gets old." He'e Nalu kicked mid air as his partner concluded. "Hater; by all accounts, you and Thwacky have a kinship between you two. It wouldn't be right to break that away if you can achieve something like this." The Skeletal Overlord guessed. "There's a catch." Litzia approached with the pokeball and let out the grass monkey as Poppy continued. "Just... think about where that can go. You could go about some mischief, nothing's stopping you from trying. But is that what the two of you ultimately want?"

Thwacky went to Hater's side and tapped his sticks together, the skeleton looked nervous as Wander gave a nudge. "Come on Hater, think about your friend." Hater groaned and kept in between his partner and his nemesis. "Gee it's awfully hard to choose" He raised his voice and shook his fist. "when we're all stuck around here!" He took a deep breath and exhaled. "But, we can use this to take over that Galaxy once it grows back."

Litzia hmmed. "For how long that's going to take. Until then, we're all sharing the same towns, same world and thus we need to take care of each other." She looked to the two foes and asked. "So, think you can at least do that? Even as frenemies?"

Wander huhed. "Frenimies?" Litzia nodded. "A friend who is also an enemy, or an enemy who is also a friend. You don't got to see eye to eye all the time, but you're there for each other when it is important." Hater thought about it and shrugged. "Eh, I can go with that." He asked. "Now, what's this I hear about this expedition?"

Litzia was glad he asked as Denryk felt something off and looked to the road going to the outskirts of the town. He whistled to his partners, called them back, baring Scraggy, and took off in pursuit. Namine spotted the fast movement and asked the boys. "Roxas, Dupmic, I'll check on that while you make sure Hater gets what we're setting off to do." The boys understood as the Witch followed fast, catching up with Denryk. The Hoodlum's feeling his instinct tracking down to a cozy looking, four room house that's right at the edge and felt Namine close by. The Witch eased her breath and guessed. "It was that feeling again, wasn't it?"

Denryk nodded and whispered. "Those people weren't the only ones watching. We have some secret eyes too." He and Scraggy slowed into hiding, giving Namine a reason to follow into the shrub of a yard. There was the sound of squeaking in protest to the chirping of a bird. A pheasant with black feathers across it's body, a white neck going to the lower half of it's head, two long pink feathers above it's eyes and what looked like a pink shawl across it's chest, with pink chains dangling from the chest. The Pheasant felt something close by and flapped his wings to let loose a cloud of pheromones, masking an escape.

Denryk kept his eyes to the house and waited for the bird to be gone before creeping to the door. Namine let out Meditite and had her use her psychic power to unlock the mechanism. The band entered a house that felt rather comfortable to live in, with some furniture laid out to organize. On a couch of cushions was a particular one that looked like a combination of a giant top toy and peach. It had a dark looking face, a set of white eyes and what seems to be stubby hands at the top. The four know that is the odd thing out and the Scraggy asked. (How long are you gonna hide like that? We can see you.)

The Peach floated out of place and pouted over something not working. (I told him I wanted to see more! Why do I got to keep hiding.) The Peach split into two halves and revealed a purple pit that resembles that of a small child with a pony tail. His face was purple, his eyes were still white and he had a set of heart shaped paws, the peach shell floated behind the core that smiled at new arrivals. (But it looks like friends have come to me!)

The teenagers heard the words, Pecha and watched the core spin. Namine confessed to the hoodlum. "You were right Denryk, someone was watching that concert." Denryk looked to Scraggy and gave a fierce dance together. "So they have!" The Peach clapped his hands in entertainment as Namine asked. "Was that Pheasant trying to help you get through in that town?" The Peach nodded, less than amused as he squeaked. Denryk sensed. "He is, but the bird felt it would be pretty risky if someone spotted this kid."

Namine agreed to that concern. "It would be if the wrong person figures things out." She raised a finger. "Just so his friend can have the piece of mind, let's just keep this to ourselves until we are somewhere private."

Denryk felt the idea sound and promised the Peach. "If you give us a bit, we'll have something ready for you all once we take an expedition. For now, stay hidden, don't talk to anyone creepy looking and we'll come find you. Okay?" The Peach considered that good advised and chanted. "Pechachacha!" (More friends, more friends!)

The four felt that was a yes, sneaked out and locked the door before heading back to the concert, where Roxas and Dupmic were talking with Poppy and Wanda. Roxas advised. "How about we start as soon as Volcarona is ready to fly off?" It was enough time to get some rest and prepare, Dupmic notice their squad returning and waved. "Hey, you're back." Denryk apologized. "Sorry for taking off, we had more eyes that were watching that. I think they were pokemon that are scared of getting spotted in."

Namine giggled confidently. "Or at least this Pheasant is concerned of that." She looked to the expert. "Poppy, do you happen to know any pokemon that resembles a peach?" The girl checked her Dex to find no data on it, though there's a Pheasant that raises concern. Along with it were two others. A bipedal dog with black fur all across his body, save for his muzzle, chest, legs, feet and hands. The other is a short looking monkey with mostly black fur, save for his face, chest, feet and paws. The dog had a pink chain latched to his neck and resembling a scarf while the monkey wore the chain like a head band. Both had yellow eyes, which was a little different from the glistening black pupil eyes of the bird. Wanda realized. "That looks like a set."

Poppy showed the logs of the three pokemon. Starting from the Pheasant. "Fezandipiti." Then the Dog. "Okidogi" and the Monkey. "And Munkidori." She read some details out loud. "All three of them are called the Retainer Pokemon and they share the typing of poison. Fezandipiti is part fairy, Okidogi is part fighting and Munkidori is part psychic." Namine picked up at one of the words. "Retainer?! That's another word for a servant?!" Denryk gasped. "And the Peach knows the other two as well?" He realized. "Wait a minute. Ogerpon said she was getting bugged by four jerks. You're not thinking-" Poppy sighed. "that's the bad news. This entry covers events that occurred in Kitakami and an Ogerpon was made a recluse because of the so called Loyal Three." She flinched. "Did you all talk your way out of a ton a danger?"

Roxas tried to stay the optimist. "But like you said, they came from somewhere different and they're as lost as the other pokemon. If we've managed to set Hater up so he can hold off on attacking Wander, maybe we can try something for these guys." Poppy put the Dex away and crossed her arms in a hmph. "I'll let you give it a try, I also have a few secrets that I wouldn't show off without a good reason." She instructed. "Go get some rest and prepare for the next adventure. You might have what it takes to retain this Loyal Three towards a good cause." The squad followed and took off as Stalwing chirped. (Is this going to be another one?) Wanda petted her steed. "Those lads have more hope than most of us give. This will be quite the interesting morning."
