Episode 9: Welcome to the World of Pokemon -- Again! The Galar Trip!

Welcome to the Galar Region everyone!

After a long trip, you've all arrived, rested up and now are touring the countryside before heading to Wyndon. Along the way, you and your classmates get to experience the gentleness of the city before heading to the biggest city of the nation.

Some stops are along the way as follows.

First stop is the big and majestic Wild Area around Motostoke and Hammerlocke. This rich, lush area is full of natural beauty, and is a haven for Pokemon. Trains, trainers and Pokemon all travel through this landscape, as you can see dens lit up across the landscape. Your tour guide will inform you that these Dens are full of Dynamax Pokemon, and can be battled and caught if you wish to test your mettle.

There are Pokemon of all kinds, not quite all of the Pokemon you might find in other regions but Pokemon are migrating in and out of Galar at all times with unique and bizzare forms.

Incredible looking Stow-on-Side is another stop where the trains run, yes, trains run to Stow-on-Side, not EVERYONE walks here, silly! and Here, you can find the historical murals of the landscape, the Fighting Gym run by Bea (when it's not swapped out with Allister every other half a year but this time it's Bea's turn), and maybe if you're plucky enough, Bea will let you challenge her gym. Who knows, she might accept.

Hullbury Gym is in the opposite direction and we'll be taking the Train there as well, or you could rent a bike and hoof it across the bridge, it's up to you. Or a Corviknight Taxi. Either way, we'll be setting out from Hammerlocke in the middle of the week to visit Nessa.

In the middle of the week, we will arrive at our destination. The beautiful city of Wyndon.

Wyndon is a bustling metropolis where some peculiar going-ons have been taking place. While it shouldn't bother you at the moment, Chairman Rose himself has come to meet you and the students with a genuine smile on his face along with his placid secretary, and none other than Champion Leon.

All are very enthusiastic to meet the students, and some of the Fallers who have decided to come on the trip, including the chaperones.

In all, you've been put up at the swankiest hotel thanks to the Chairman's goodwill, and have fun experiencing the life of Wyndon for the next ten days!

This is where the real Mystery Begins, as reports of strange red light has been affecting citizen's Pokemon, and Dynamaxing them once in a while...

What

What's happening.

Reira was trying to be helpful. And now everything is being locked up?? Hey! Not very nice!

Well, obviously it has something to do with what those two were doing. So...

Reira goes to one of the Windows that got 'locked'.

She then Actually picks up a chair and throws it. Through the 'window' of course. But also she definitely threw a chair.

"....You're not being nice, we just had to ask questions. ...You told me not to hurt first..." She has a point buds. You're being a touch hypocritical.

"Look, kid, this, isn't actually hurting it." said Pikachu, "picking up a window and nailing it back to the window". "This is Mimimg. To beat a Mime, you have to GET ON IT'S LEVEL. Mimes are tricky, really tough, no goo-is that mime just miming a cannon?"

Sure enough, the mime was miming lighting a fuse.

"GET DOWN!" Shouted Tim as the "Mime Cannon" went down and a wave of psychokinetic force went off in the room, blasting the door open, sending everyone to the floor.

Pikachu scrambled to his feet. "He's getting away!" he yelled, as the sound of a revving motorcycle was heard, as the Mr. Mime... revved up a mimed up jalopy. "Oh... that's just sad. Tim?"

"Stop." said Tim, holding up a imaginary wall in front of the stationary Mime.

Who went down like a sack of bricks.

"Shoulda worn a helmet," chorused everyone in the cafe.

Well she's still pouting. And doing a lot of pouting for that matter. She doesn't even get what's going on. And now Mr. Mime or whatever is down, which is just not cool at all.

She'd still like to help it though, so she's going over- her and her egg and her bag with an egg- and trying to lift Taller-Than-Her Mime up.

"I don't even know what 'mime' means," she mutters with a grumble. "Everyone was just doing a bunch of invisible things."

Well that feels like a bit of an unfair advantage now.

"That's literally what miming is. Just acting, but it's invisible," said Tim. "You don't get out much do you?"

"Kid, I don't think she lives in this century," said Pikachu.

"Dad stop, that's mean."

It's very mean, but Reira can ignore it plenty well. She helps Mr. Mime to some spot where he can be leaned against, and ultimately even pulls out one of the candies she hoarded to offer it.

"I'm learning things," she says as if it explains anything. "There's still a lot to learn, but I'm going to a school now." Which is to say, she totally gets out. Also- "...I'm right here though..."

Isn't??? The century right now?? She's right here??

"Dad," said Tim, before Pikachu could say something smart-assed. "Look, we need to bring this Mr. Mime into the proper authorities. There's a certain methodology for dealing with Mr. Mimes, and they can stonewall anyone because they don't talk at all. Doing what we did, is just business with a Mr. Mime, and he tried to Faint us and get away scott free."

"Though what he didn't expect was that we're well used to Mimes running away like that, huh Tim?" said Pikachu with a smug look.

"Oh yeah," said Tim. "So we need to bring the Mime in for actual questioning at the Police Department, while Pikachu and I follow up a few more leads. We promise we won't actually lock him in a hot sauna with no vents again. Okay?"

....

"Can I try asking first?" She's a little naive like that. But on the upside, Mr. Mime probably won't be able to actually keep her from approaching to kick him in the shins, as good as she is at ignoring whatever everyone else is doing and saying. "...About the person with big eyes?"

Reira........................Reira,

...not a concept he's entirely familiar with. He shrugged.

"But some people are better at investing wisely than others."

He doesn't push it further than that for now.

"But...I'll leave you to crushing whatever's in your way."

Kisara gave Seto a gentle head-pat to communicate this, then crawled closer and squinted at the picture.

"I don't know, but I'll look! And that's not the weirdest thing I've seen here. I'm sure we'll figure it out."

Her trainer, on the other hand, was looking between them with a wild expression. He was clearly losing his mind.

It seems like the Fallers Detective Work has paid off! The Fallers have narrowed things down to the culprit! working in tandem with the two Ryme City Detectives and found their way to the Stadium where there is a pudgy man dressed in a police uniform.

"Oh ho ho ho," chuckled the man, Morimoto who tipped his hat. "I see you've been tracking my movements Detectives."

"Morimoto," said Pikachu. "Why'd you do it? Why steal all the Wishing Stars?"

"Oh, well that's easy," said Morimoto. "Do you know how much working as a security guard for Game Freak pays? Nothing. So..."

"So, I asked him to do it," said Bunbee, walking out, tossing a Pokeball up and down in his hand. "Welcome Fallers, let's have a battle! We have a little surprise for you and your people. Morimoto, why don't you send out our little surprise?"

"With pleasure." Morimoto threw out a dark looking Pokemon, a black aura Chestnaught which cried out, before Morimoto Dynamaxed it into a massive Chestnaught with a black aura around it. At the same time, Bunbee sent out three Pokemon - Beedril, Mothrim and Combee.

MORIMOTO AND BUNBEE WANT TO BATTLE!

WIN CONDITIONS: 20 TAGS FROM ALL SOURCES
DEFEAT THE DYNAMAX POKEMON!
UP TO 6 FAINTED POKEMON CAN BE INFLICTED BEFORE FAILURE!

"Okay sure, I'm following you!" Not that she didn't get into costume as she ran after the Pokemon and his...companion. Just in case.

"Not that you knew my name before, but call me Afterburner here. I'll take you out for coffee or something later and get in some formal introductions, right?"

She'd pick them up and fly them both, but for some reason Renee felt like that might call way too much attention to all three of them. So she'd skip it, for now.

"Pi pika pi," said Detective Pikachu. Translation? "Right. Tell your trainer he makes a dang fine cuppa joe. But we'll keep in touch."

Slurping down the coffee, he added, "If you see anything, we'll be in town. Hopefully we'll figure out something to deal with the situation. Grubbin is a slippery one. Try to keep a look out for this guy too."

And he held up a picture of a round-eyed man in a police uniform. "His name's Morimoto. He's Grubbin's trainer. Real slippery guy."

Over the course of the Galar trip, Tyzias has been too busy learning the ropes to really investigate the mystery of the vanishing Wishing Stars. Especially since her partner turned out to be a particularly scruffy and rambunctious Galarian Meowth. Who absolutely refused to stop antagonizing the Espurr she found shortly thereafter.

It's been a rough week.

And it's made rougher when she walks out of the Battle Cafe, smoothie in hand, to see Dynamax clouds forming above the stadium and people fleeing in terror from the area. Sighing, Tyzias takes off, flying towards the stadium.

Now, most people are often too preoccupied by the Pokemon to think of any course of action other than targeting the enemy team. But Tyzias sees this as an opportunity. Cracking her neck, Tyzias begins transforms into her 30% Eternity Form (protective scales and greater offensive options without losing manual dexterity or speech, although there's still some consequences afterwards) and aims a beam of Calamity Star energy at Morimoto directly, aiming to take out the trainer before the Pokemon can do any real damage.

That's a good idea. Afterburner likes it. She's rocketing in superhero style, though she's left an obvious trail of exhaust behind her.

She drops Stompy as gently as she can--it almost makes her stop blasting and need to start running, but she picks up the pace again and rockets up into midair. If the Calamity Star doesn't stop him? She's going to inertia lock Morimoto into place--no way is she going to let him get away!

For now, though? "Stompy, use Rollout!"

Renee's got a bad feeling about this.

"Kid... mimes don't actually talk. Negotiations broke down almost immediately when he locked the door." deadpanned Pikachu.

"Oooh grazie, no sugar, no cream, black as night, thank you sweetie," replied Pikachu as he scampered along.

"Dad is a real coffee addict," replied Tim as he hustled. "We might be able to find the Grubbin we were trailing before this."

"There he goes!" Exclaimed Pikachu, pointing at the Grubbin, who was waddling into the station.

Edited 2019-12-01 03:50 (UTC)

"...'s got feelings though right?" She blinks, and-

"...If he feels one way, I'll know what he means. I don't have the words for most feelings, but I'll know." It's a rather simple way of thinking about it, but ultimately, it won't really go anywhere. She'll probably still try asking the Mime things anyway, whether it comes to fruit or not.

Perhaps it was unwise to let Reira come along. Or maybe Reira just sort of insisted on it- she's like that after all, determined to pal about despite lacking a single pokemon of her own.

Just an egg in her arms, and an egg in her bag, the latter surrounded with dozens and dozens of pilfered experience candies.

But maybe that determination was endearing- it certainly got a team of 'Goon evolutions on her side before, and who knows who else it wound up appealing to. Maybe that Mr. Mime wound up with heart. They may never know.

But something is very wrong, the minute the Chestnaught comes out. Reira freezes. She freezes and drops the egg as if shocked with electricity, glued to the spot.

"Hh...hahhhh..."

Hate. Hate. Anger. A swirling negativity ready for battle. But mostly-

Hate. "Aaaa..Aaaaahhh..."

It hurts. It hurts and it hurts and it hurts, and Reira rather unfortunately can't bring herself to really move.

This really isn't the best time to not do that.

Sorry you two. But...

Suddenly without warning, a massive Charizard bloomed into existence, huge and big as life as Leon stepped onto the field as one hand stopped the attack, the second one clamping down on Afterburner.

"What are you two doing," said Leon, his voice steel.

"This is not a place for attacking trainers, no matter what the battle circumstances are!" exclaimed Leon. "This... is a place of CHAMPIONS!"

And Leon's Charizard will turn, and blast the Chesnaught for 1/2 it's HP in their place before sending those two back to their side. "Play by the rules," he ordered before Morimoto surrendered himself to Leon.

"That's all well and good, but that Grubbin is getting away as well!" Exclaimed Pikachu. "Which means it's time for the father-son time to shine!"

"Go dad go, use Quick Attack!"

"Hells yeah!" And Pikachu blazed forward and charged -- into the wall, missing the Grubbin who used Dig to dodge the Quick Attack. "Ow! Oh god, my jellies!"

"Daaaaaad! You had him!"

"I'll keep that in mind." Hey, cuter things have been deadly before. Anybody who's had to fight a Freelancer Moogle can attest to that. Tyzias sits down next to Yuume, absently petting her Meowth.

She stares into the distance, pondering for a few moments. On what? Who can say. "I don't think I've actually introduced myself beyond falling into your arms like some fucking Victorian maiden getting a the vapors at a bit of exposed ankle. I'm Tyzias. You are...?"

At least the Charizard was a gentleman, letting a girl down easy. Still, Renee scowled a little, even as the gigantic Pokemon released her.

"Listen, what I was gonna do wasn't actually gonna hurt him!" Pointing at Morimoto. But she doth protest too much. Those are still two Dynamaxed Pokemon, and there's a kid in the middle of the danger zone.

She stopped yelling for the moment, and rocketed towards Reira, making an attempt to grab her--and for a moment, it was like she had her! Up into the air they headed...

but Renee's grip wasn't the best and before she could tighten it on the girl, Reira slipped out of her fingers.

"Oh SHIT!" Renee yelled, but she wasn't good at hovering and turning took a hell of a lot of room--room she didn't have yet.

This was not her finest heroic moment.

This is probably not the best result of anything, really. Maybe Morimoto doesn't care much. Maybe Bunbee too. (Probably, in both cases) Renee got the kiddo up high- that was good, and it had even started getting her out of the empathy range to a point. But tensions are high, and the stress combined with the hate,hate,hate is just keeping her on edge. Curled tightly on herself, wishing she hadn't left her second egg down below, and then-

"A- AAAAAAAH-!"

Then she's falling.

What happens next is something worthy of play-by-play. If anyone's lucky, maybe the cameras are rolling- Reira's falling, but the bag on her back starts glowing. The seams begin to break, and piles of gathered experience candies start to rain down like diamonds.

Something else is in the pile. Round, like a ball (like an Egg)- and first it breaks open, the tiny little round rookidee from within shining in silhouette.

And then it bursts with growth- with larger wings and sharper claws, a Corvisquire-

And then again, like a tiny dynamax of its own...

"KRRRUUURREEEEEEEEEE!!!"

Reira is no longer falling. The remaining candies scatter to the ground as hail, and a Corviknight soars upward with his precious cargo in his talons. The steel shines. The eyes gleam.

With an earsplitting cry the corviknight streaks forward- a streak like a steal beam, striking through the Chestnaut with all the ferocity the brave bird can muster!

"R...raptor..." Reira mutters to herself quietly as she's carried by the pokemon. "...r..raid raptor..."

"KURRRURRRURREEEEEEEEEIIII!!!" It only took one strike- the bird wasn't even dynamaxed.

But as Corviknight flaps triumphantly at the far end of the field, the largest target is already falling.

With a Faint, and a massive fireball, the Chesnaught exploded and collapsed in a plume of flames as it reduced in size into a small form. "And that's that, so much for the vaunted Shadow Pokemon," said Bunbee, recalling it before tossing the ball onto the pitch.

He then started applauding. "Good show, good good show. You've done well, Fallers, Champion Leon, Detectives! Very good show indeed!"

"Give it up, we've got your man in custody," said Tim. "It's over."

"Is it now? Well, I suppose that's true..." said Bunbee, rubbing his head. "But you know, Team Rainbow Rocket paid a lot of funds to get this Shadow Pokemon worked on. They expect results, from such a large corporation. And I suppose... well... I should probably earn my paycheck."

Holding up a Wishing Star, he smiled. "These Wishing Stars are interesting things, don't you agree? But what happens when you combine it with a Mega Stone for example?"

And Bunbee held the pair of items together, the two gemstones crackling with dark light as it began to crackle around him -- and his Pokemon. Slowly, deliberately, as if daring the Fallers to attack him.

"Ah! I see! The human is the unfit one here. Ah, I mean, I'm sorry about your predicament old boy" The Koffing says.

"Wishing stars..." Wes goes into his pocket and shows his Wishing Pieces. "... We should find him. Cafe. It's here."

They gonna go in or what?
