The next day

Lincoln was watching over his new "Siblings" despite them not being hatched

now he wasn't sure what would come out of the eggs

could be Sneasles, could be giratinas, could be hybrids maybe all 3 who knows

despite them being lady sneasler's kids he was extremely protective because by all means they are his responsibility as both a warden and a brother

he was glad that lady sneasler had already selected an heir from her previous batch from before he showed up because he wasn't sure if almighty sinnoh would be happy with this result

suddenly he got a text

but the moment he tried to open it he immediately lost control of his body to skully


Sid

Sid: hey skully sorry I caught you I was just told you were human. are you mad?

Skully: \_(ツ)/

Sid: I figured you would be more pissed off

Sid: by the way do you like void?

Skully: ( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡)

Sid: whatever you think that means it doesn't mean it

skully: Strong

Sid: ?

skully: like strong

Sid: you like strong people

Skully: ye

Sid: oh dear... why do you do this to me?

skully: 8l

Sid: how mature

skully: lol

Sid: anyway I got tasked to go to the crimson mirelands want to come with?

skully: (image: skully with a bunch of pokemon eggs. He looks protective)

Sid: please tell me that those aren't yours.

Skully: Mom an mom

Sid: are you saying that they're your mother's and you have two moms?

Skully: ye

Sid:... I'm gonna ignore that because I've had a long day

Sid: well since you're busy I'll leave you alone bye!


Skully put the phone away and swapped back to Lincoln

"don't do that." Lincoln said (note to self don't open texts meant for skully)

"Lincoln how are the eggs doing?" Giratina asked

"they're doing fine!" Lincoln said

"make sure you read them a story!" Giratina said

"I will!" Lincoln said

meanwhile

Sid had arrived at the crimson mirelands

"Here we are, my girl! The Crimson Mirelands! An area teeming with poison-wielding Pokémon and plenty of others besides!" Professor laventon said

"sounds dangerous." Sid said

"yeah it is." Akari said "anyway I've heard about your mission Sid. If you're looking for the Solaceon Ruins, they're off that way."

She pointed in the distance

"thanks for the help." Sid said "Ingo emmet you coming with?"

"actually we're going to explore a bit." Emmet said "see you around!"

And with that Ingo and emmet left

"well I better get going too." Sid said before leaving

when she got to the ruins an old lady was there with her bibarel

"I'm Calaba of the Pearl Clan. Warden Calaba to you." Calaba said before noticing Sid's celestica flute "Ho? Now would you look at that... You have a Celestica Flute. You must be the one they say fell out of the space-time rift."

"that's right." Sid said

"I see, I see..." calaba said "I've already heard about you. That you quelled Kleavor in his frenzy."

"yeah that's right." Sid said

"I'm sure many people were saved by your actions, but I wonder if there wasn't some other way to handle the situation..." calaba said "What you did is hardly different from bullying a Pokémon into submission, after all. And you run about catching Pokémon up in those little balls you carry..."

"but I've come to help!" Sid said

"I don't need any help from your sort. Or the Diamond Clan, for that matter. That young lady, Arezu, offered to help, but associating with the Diamond Clan... It just won't do." Calaba said "Be on your way. There is much I must do, and I'd prefer not to be distracted any further."

Sid sighed and turned around

only to be met with volo

"you scared me!" Sid said

"so sorry." Volo said "anyway Sid mind showing me the strength that could quell a frenzied lord?"

"sure!" Sid said sending out moon

"go togepi!" Volo said sending out the fairy/normal type

"use tackle!" Sid said

Moon rushed forward and landed a tackle

"use headbutt!" Volo said

togepi rushed forward and hit moon with it's head

"use bite!" Sid said

moon ran in and bit togepi

"tackle attack!" Volo said

togepi tried to tackle moon but missed the attack

"use swift!" Sid said

moon launched a bunch of stars at togepi knocking it out

"go!" Volo said sending out his next pokemon

it was a gible

"Moon use tackle!" Sid said

"Use Dragon claw!" Volo said

the dragon claw rang true as it knocked moon out

"Go! Aero!" Sid said "Use Aerial ace!"

"Dragon claw!" Volo said

both attacks connected doing a trade of damage

"now use wing attack!" Sid yelled as aero charged in and knocked out gible

"Oh, my! You're quite adept at instructing your Pokémon in battle! My goodness, that was fun!" Volo said

"Thanks!" Sid said

"Such prodigious strength! Now, let me just heal up your Pokémon... Well now! I think that settles it. I must ask your help in retrieving the Wall Fragment. With your skill, it should be a cinch!" Volo said as he healed her team

"Sure!" Sid said "it will be easy!"

"Some bandits pillaged the Solaceon Ruins and made off with a fragment of the wall engravings!" Volo said

"who are they?" Sid asked

"Have you not heard of the notorious Miss Fortunes? They're a trio of bandits that have even hit us Ginkgo Guild more than a few times! Not the kind of regulars I like to have, let me tell you! Miss Calaba is doing everything she can to regain the fragment, but at 99 years old... It's a bit hard for her top chase leads all over the place." Volo said "So what do you say, kind madam? Why not help find the fragment for the warden?"

"Sure! Will you be helping?" Sid asked

"Oh—naturally I'll be happy to lend you a hand! Those sisters swiped my wares, too, and I'm no Ginkgo Guild merchant if I take that lying down! And far be it from me to let them just get away with vandalizing the precious ruins of this region!" Volo said "You know, I did see the remains of a campfire near the Mirelands Camp. Perhaps worth checking out?"

"we got a lead!" Sid said "let's go!"

(What a nice girl.) Volo thought to himself (a shame I'll have to kill her.)

that's it for now sore for taking this long!"
