Pokémon RP - Chapter 9, A New Story In The Land of Sinnoh!

Garnet shakes her head. "All you really did was get wet. You're still a complete mess."

Unfortunately, that means turning back the way they came.

The twins find themselves back in Jubilife City!

The Poke Ball draws in the Hoothoot! It falls to the ground and shakes once!

...Twice!

...Thrice!

...

Click!

Clyde caught Hoothoot!

The Poke Ball disappears.

Lily tilts her head, looking confused. She glances at Love, who shrugs with a smile. She nods her head.

"Okay...are we going back to the lake then?", Lily asks.

"Oh, no. Of course not. We can do it in there." Garnet says, pointing to the bathroom.

"Whew. That felt like it took forever." Clyde calls Gligar back into his ball and continues toward...where was Clyde going again? Oh right, Eterna City!

Hana blinked and then started to giggle.

"P-Pineapples? I d-don't even want to know!" she gasped out.

"Calming herself a little, Hana shook her head.

"No, not about anything involving," more giggling, "pineapples. I just came to see if there was anything, er, else that needed done. And to find out more about the picnic thing Devout Gamma is at," Hana said, looking at the blessedly empty kitchen.

"Well, uh.... What were we doing again?" Kyo mumbled, looking around to see if anyone else at the picnic saw them.

Kimiko looked at Ishia who smiled with a nod. "I guess it couldn't hurt. I mean we could really use the help if we get into a pinch, and we'd be happy to help in return." She smiled. "Just promise me there isn't some sort of blood ritual or anything we have to swear too... or verbal oaths, cause Ishia here...." Kimiko's voice tailed off only to hear a low rattle for the bell.

Lily giggles, "But there's no way a big lake can fit in there, silly!", She says, looking at Garnet like she's crazy.

..If Clyde is going to Eterna City, then that would take him the direction he just came from, heading back to Celestic Town...

Maybe he should check his map?

"Oh. That thing. Uh.", Delta says, intelligently. He shrugs. "Yeah, we all think it's a trap or something sneaky, but they've got all of Sinnoh watching, so if they pull anything we'll have ironclad proof that we were right all along. Or something. That's what Old Man B says, anyway. Still, Gamma's got some big brass Poke Balls going up there with just a pair of scrub Disciples watching her back." Delta says, sighing. "Anyway, if you were looking to help...well, Alpha damn it, why weren't you here earlier when we had that big lunch rush?!", He says, incredulously.

Fortunately, it appears everyone else maintained a wide berth, probably due to the sudden appearance of the blonde, green trenchcoat-wearing walking natural disaster.

"Hey! What's that over there?", Alexis says, pointing to the Resort Building where the stockholder's meeting was taking place. A shadowy figure quickly disappears inside.

"Ahah! A sneaking sneak thief! I must investigate!", Handsome says, immediately taking off.

Epsilon laughs, "Haha, no, no. Nothing like that, I assure you. Just a moment, please."

She makes her way out of the room, apparently heading down the hallway.

A few moments pass, and Epsilon returns, holding two golden pendants.

"It's a little informal, but Father Beta is preoccupied at the moment, so I think in this case it's for the best."

Epsilon hands one to Ishia, with a smile. "For you, Creed Initiate Iota."

And then she hands the other to Kimiko, "And you, Creed Initiate Psi."

"Welcome, sisters, to the Alpha Creed."

Terrin sighs as the detective runs off, sending a message via 'dex to Commander Ceres about Looker being on the premises.

Then gives Kyo a plain 'are you an IDIOT' glare. "Perfect distraction, and you choose to sit and WATCH instead of inform the commanders? Really? I thought you were smarter than that."

Garnet sighs. "No... we... Never mind. Just come on."

She gently takes Lily's hand and leads her to the bathroom.

Clyde doesn't think to check his map right now, because he still believes he's heading the right way. Luckily for him, however, Buddy remembers which way they were supposed to go and nudges Clyde until he realizes what Buddy is trying to tell him. "The other way? Are you sure?" Clyde finally checks his map and realizes that Buddy is indeed sure. And so, Clyde turns around, heading the other way.

Ishia gazed at the pretty gold pendant. Her bell rattled with delight. Kimiko had bowed in respect to Epsilon and made sure Ishia had done the same. "Thank you so much for this honor."

Ishia nodded with a smile before leaping forward and giving the kind lady a hug.

Ray-Ray barked at Delta as Hana looked at him like he grew another head.

"...Um.... sir.... I was here during that lunch rush. Believe me, I wish I wasn't," Hana said, mumbling the last part.

"Don't be mean.", Alexis says, frowning as Handsome disappears around the corner. "Is it okay to let him just leave like that? Shouldn't we follow him?"
