Episode 5: Hot and Cold Flex Off!

[fallers_npcs]

Today, the Class is off to the Hot Springs! Until Monday, they’ll be on a school trip to Mount Lanakila, where they will spend two days and two nights at the mountain. Here, the school will learn about the native Snow Pokemon. However…

Kukui frowned in worry at the Mountain which was… suspiciously barren of snow in this area. The ground was green with grass, and it was swelteringly hot. “Sorry everyone! It seems like we’ve got unseasonable weather!” Exclaimed Kukui. “Still, there’s no worry here! Unload your things, get settled in and we’ll still tour the Ice Caves at 2pm! Until then, try and relax. Maybe if you want a nice Heatwave, try out the hot springs!”

No worries everyone, there's plenty to see. Lots of Pokemon still. Though, the people at the Hot Springs could need your help, getting the springs back to working order. The Owner could use people with technical help to look at the pipes, people with strong backs to get the springs in order and at 2pm everyone will go to the caves unless you're helping the Owner.

Dawn closed her eyes in thought before she came up with an answer. "I think you are tired. I think you've never gotten the chance to relax. I can see it in that pink-haired girl's eyes, the eyes of someone who just wants five minutes of peace and quiet and the world isn't letting you have it."

"I betcha if you asked around, you'd have people saying the same thing."

"Serena? Yeah, I heard you did something for her. Thanks for that. She came home really rested and happy about it. Thank you for that, Dawn."

Scooting over, Ash wrapped a blanketed arm around his best friend and hugged her. "Arceus I missed you. It hasn't been the same since we separated you know? Sure everyone's been great and I love everyone on the island but it hurts when my old friends just can only visit for a short period of time."

Ash sighed deeply. "And... Kalos you know? Serena told you about it."

And Dawn moves to rest her head on Ash's shoulder. "Yeah, she told me all about it. All five cans of super-caffeine-infused drinks of it. Poor girl was a mess, you're a mess..."

And both her arms wrap around Ash tightly.

"We all need a bigger vacation and I just got here..."

Ash leaned against Dawn's hug. "The last few weeks, no, months have been maniac. I really do need a vacation. Hopefully with the Galar Trip planned for school, it might be a good idea to get ready for that."

He frowned. "Though I shouldn't be worrying too much. And learn to delegate."

"Yeah, I think you've been doing too much and trying to do things on your own. Don't need to do that anymore." Dawn said.

[acmellash]

"Yeah..."

Leaning against Dawn, Ash asked, "Hey Dawn? Remember when we would just camp out under the stars? I do miss those days. Just traveling. Alola's great and all, but sometimes I do miss it. I was really looking forward to traveling, so Professor Kukui is organizing that trip to Ryme City. I hear we're meeting with a gym leader from that region."

"Oh, wow, really? I'd like to see someone from around there. Galar, right?" Dawn said.
