Back over in Dust-Bound Town… Anna: I wanna thank you two for getting back my hat. I wouldn’t be Anna if it wasn’t for this. Loren: No problem. George: Always a pleasure to help you. Despite the many injuries we took. *pats the bandages around his chest* Dillian: Well done, boys. You deserve yourselves a reward. Come on in. The two Swifters follow Anna and Dillian inside the tavern. As they look around, they see a couple customers doing some arm wrestling. Loren: Oh my. George: I hate to be on the receiving end of those guys. Dillian: That’s how some customers be, mates. Grab yourselves a seat. These drinks are on me. Anna: Plus, that fancy reward he’s got for you. Loren: Hmm? Oh right, the ribbon and Poke. The boys get themselves some soda pop and enjoy a bit of chatter with Anna and Dillian. After the conversation, Dillian hands them their reward. Loren: This is the Lucky Ribbon?George: Hmm… If I remember correctly, that ribbon is able to protect you from taking critical hits.

The trio gets themselves in battling positions as the battle begins. Loren: I’ll go for the Marowak. Anna: I got my paws on that hat thief. George: I’ll find any openings. It’s best not for me to attack ‘em head on. Linda: Let’s start things off right. *uses Bonemerang at George*George: Whoa. Not again. *jumps over the bone* Linda: Faron!Faron: On it! Faron points his index finger at George. Loren: You’re not gonna hurt him like that. Faron: *uses Mud Shot* Boom! Loren takes the attack and gets hit in the face from Faron’s Mud Shot. Loren: Blehhh. Anna: Shooting mud out of your fingers? That’s just plain dirty. Have some of this! *uses Swift* The duo gets hit from Anna’s Swift. Leaving them open for an attack. George: Great. Time to make my move. George jumps up and uses Dig. Linda: The kid’s trying to throw our guards off. Stay sharp, Faron. Faron: I won’t miss this shot, dear. Loren: *runs up to Linda and uses Water Pulse* Linda: Nice try, Loren. Linda swings her bone via her

Misty Woods B1F Loren: The area isn’t as foggy as it was earlier. George: We should be safe to split up. I’ll take the middle. Loren: I’ll go to the left. Anna: I’ll be taking the right. George: Report back if you find any of the thieves. Loren & Anna: Got it. The trio run to their respective paths. Starting with George, he finds a group of Nidoran Male walking around. George: A couple of Nidoran. *scans his Pokestrap* Pokestrap: Nidoran Male, the Poison Pin Pokemon. A Poison type. Despite its’ small stature, the horn on the top of its’ head is filled with poison. It charges then stabs with the horn to inject poison to their enemies. George: I better be careful here. The last thing I need is getting my stomach filled with tons of toxins. George walks into the room and throws out a few Flamethrowers. He take them out one by one with ease. George: Alright. That wasn’t so bad. Although, the stairs aren’t here. Which path should I take? Back over with Anna, she keeping herself busy

A couple of minutes later… Mudsdale: Here we be, everyone. George: Wow. The paper wasn’t kidding when they said Misty Woods. Loren: I can barely make out anything. It’s all fog. Anna: Dillian says the thieves went out here. Come on, let’s go and get ‘em. The members jump off of the Mudsdale and slide down the mountainside onto the ground below. Mudsdale: You best be careful out there. Anna: We’ll call ya back to get us home. The Mudsdale takes his leave. Anna: Okay, fire chimp. You be the smart one. Tell where we gotta go. George: Let me see… George gets a look out of the distance. George: It’s hard to make out where the entrance is. So, we should probably stick together for the time being. Loren: I agree. Once we get inside, we’ll split up and find the thieves. Anna: And if we do?Loren: We can use this. Loren pulls out a wonder orb from George’s bag and reveals it to Anna. Anna: What that be? Some magical crystal ball?Loren: No, it’s an orb. It says “Rollcall”. George: Using

They make their way inside the saloon. In it, there are many tables and chairs filled with many Pokemon drinking different kinds of drinks. Loren: Those drinks sure look bubbly. George: They don’t look like the usual ones we drink back at home. Anna: You best be careful with them. You don’t wanna be caught dizzy after having jugs of them. Loren: Oohh, like you’ll be confused and stuff?Anna: Ehh, more or less. Dillian: Ahh, here we are. Pull yourselves a seat. They all gather around one table with Loren and George on one side with Dillian and Anna on the other side. Dillian: Alright. Let’s introduce ourselves properly. *ahem* The name’s Dillian. A pleasure to meet ya, mates. Loren: Nice to meet you, Dillian. I’m Loren. George: I’m George. Anna: The name’s Anna. Although, it’s best you call me Sheriff Anna from here on, okay? George: Alright then, Sheriff Anna. Dillian: As you’ve seen on that paper. This lovely girl’s hat got stolen from a gang of thieves that came roaring by. They

The duo make their way over to Dust-Bound Town. George: Wow. This is a small area compared to Howard City. Loren: There’s not many buildings out here. Also… why is there no Pokemon out here? It’s a bit scary. George: *gasps* Hold on, Loren. George hears a noise coming from the saloon. ???: Get back here, you varmint! ???: *screams*Loren: Someone’s in trouble. The doors open up to reveal a Buizel with a ten-gallon hat running in a panic. Buizel: I’m telling ya, I didn’t snag your hat. George: What’s going on? Coming in from behind the Buizel is a Floragato wearing cowboy boots and a belt around their waist. Floragato: Stop! The Floragato takes off the bud from their neck and twirls it around like a lasso. It captures the Buizel with ease and drags him closer to the Floragato. Floragato: Start talking! Buizel: *struggles to get loose* Floragato: Struggling like that isn’t gonna get ya anywhere, mate. Talk! Buizel: Grrr, fine. I was just talking with my pals about a recent heist

Meanwhile, back with Rock at the dojo… Rock: *groaning noises*Fen: You sure have some endurance, considering your species. It’s too bad you were unable to withstand the power of my moves. Juan: I gotta admit. For an Umbreon that relies on physical moves. You sure have a bit of talent in ya. Rock: *coughs* Yeah, thanks. Cole: You did all you could, young Umbreon. If my son was here to see you in action. He would have a slot for you on his show in no time. Rock: Uhh, I already had that chance back then, but thanks… *gasps* The show! They’re probably already done filming. I gotta get over there. Juan: Wait! Aren’t you gonna have a battle against me? I’m all rested u- Rock: No time. Gotta go! Rock exits the dojo in a hurry. Juan: What’s his deal?Fen: Actors have to make their deadlines somehow, sweetie. Cole: *nods* Indeed. A couple of minutes running later… Rock: *pants* That Mienshao man… She got me all tired the Muk out. *groans* This is the most I have exercised in my life. Arceus

One gagging session later… Ryan returns to the set and takes a couple of sips of water before he begins again. Ryan: *breathes in and out*Jason: Feeling better?Ryan: Yep. I’m ready to get back in. Kates: When will I get my chance to go in, electro doggy?Mr. Lazzo: I’ll let you know when the time’s right to jump in. Just be patient. Flaaffy: Take 3! And action! Ryan (Young Mike): coughs That was pretty clever, I’ll give you that. *slowly gets up* Although, it’ll take more than that to defeat me! Emboar: Oh yeah? Then how about you get a taste of two Hammer Arms right at that little body of yours! Rhyperior: You’re dead, kid! The two bulky Pokemon throw out their Hammer Arms at Ryan. As the two attacks connect, Ryan holds his ground and struggles to get crushed. Ryan (Young Mike): *grunting noises* Emboar: *chuckles* You sure know how to stand your ground. Rhyperior: Too bad this pressure is gonna get you buried into the ground. Emboar: Don’t worry. We’ll get things ready for your

Linda makes her way over to the couch in the living room. Linda: This size thing is gonna bother me.  Linda jumps up on the couch. Ben: So, what would you like to talk about? Linda: I’m not sure. I think… I might just wanna sleep for the night and pray that this is all just a weird hallucination. Ben: What do you mean? Linda: I mean, I appreciate the company you guys are bringing me. Don’t get me wrong. My mind might be a bit on the slow side. Perhaps a little jolt to my system will wake me up. Ben: Oh… *feels sad* Linda: Ben? Ben: Sorry, it’s just… If what you’re saying is true. I am gonna miss you already. Linda: Huh?Ben: Like, you’re one of the first Pokemon that I have the pleasure to make friends with. Well, more so in the human aspect. Linda: *feels sad* Oh Ben, I didn’t mean- Ben: No no, it’s okay. If you do escape from this dream… Just remember. I’ll be around in your memories when you wake up. Linda: *sighs * Ben: Would you like for me to grab you a blanket?Linda: No, it’s

Mudkip: *chuckles* To answer your second question. I am a Mudkip and my name is Ben. A pleasure to meet you. Chimchar: Ben… Huh. [They have names…] Ben: Now, to answer your first question. You are a Chimchar. Chimchar: A Chimchar? What? Ben: That’s the name of the species you are. I can call you Chimchar if that’s alright. Unless… You already have a name?Chimchar: A name… What was my name? The Chimchar sits and ponders about its’ name. Chimchar: Oh! I remember. Ben: Hmm?Chimchar: My name… is Linda. Ben: Linda. *smiles* That’s a cute name. I like it. Linda: Thanks. Ben: Well, it’s nice to meet you, Linda. *extends his paw* Linda: Uhh… Yeah. It’s nice to meet you too. *shakes his paw awkwardly* Ben: So… What are you going to do now?Linda: I don’t know… Seeing that this isn’t a dream that’s in my head. I… I have to find some answers. Ben: Where can you even find those answers?Linda: Do you have any idea? Ben: Nah. Although, I could ask my dad for some help. Linda: [This thing has a
