Dijon was still sick. He was glad the others knew how to take care of him, so it was only a soft sniffle here and there. But he still felt miserable as he went out to patrol. He was relaxing in the forest with his partner pokemon; Buizel (that he met while dealing with the hotheaded pinkie pie), Kirlia (that he saved from the little minions of the pink freak), Raichu (that he bonded with when his styler was at a risky battery and he was lost), and a Staraptor (that saved him from the pink freak's Infernape). He was grateful for their presence and could rest in peace around them. That was until someone interrupted his rest.

"Dijon?" He opened his eyes to see Emma standing over him. "The captain needs you." He smiled as she helped him up.

"Oh boy... I swear I wasn't sleeping on the job." She giggled as she helped him back. Kirlia grabbed his hand and pulled him as they went to the base.

^*^

He entered as Sage, Lapis and Scarlet were softly discussing something. He went over as Sage spotted him.

"Hey Dijon. How're you feeling?" Dijon sniffled at that.

"Could be worse." The captain smiled.

"I know you probably haven't finished patrol, but the mail came in and there's something for you."

Dijon blinked. Who would send him anything? His family, Seafoam and Crepe had his number. Isaac and a few others hadn't learned his transfer. Would it be Admiral? Silly thought, but she didn't get his phone number. He took the note with a shaky hand before reading it.

He almost dropped it.

"Dear Dijon,

This may seem unexpected for you, but with the knowledge of your time in Fiore, I believe Ringtown isn't where you belong.

Please report to the Ranger Union in Almia. I await your arrival to give you your true needed place.

Chairperson Erma."

He took a rather shallow breath as he stared at it. The Chairperson? Now he was shaking. He reread it aloud and that shocked the group.

"Now wait a minute." Lapis started, gaining a laugh from the whole room. "What does she mean, Ringtown isn't where you belong? What did I do?" Dijon was quiet as Sage grabbed his shoulder.

"Go for it, Dijon. That might be more than you think. Go see what she wants. And if you see Wendy..." He placed a box in his hand. "Give that to her. I don't need the reaction." Dijon nodded as he went out. Him and the other partners got onto Staraptor and took off.

^*^

He looked up at the large building. What could they want from him? He nodded to his team before walking in. A steady silence followed as he went up to where an Operator waited. He gulped before going in. Apparently he timed it right.

"Sorry I'm late. I was practically sent on patrol before I got the letter." The Chairperson smiled.

"No worries. We now have everyone."

Huh? He took about two seconds to realize that there were two others at his side. How didn't he see them the first time? He glanced over and smiled at the sight of Crepe and Admiral.

^*^

It got better knowing that Seafoam was there. They did a group hug while they talked. Dijon needed almost an hour to calm down if the others didn't help him out. He buried his face in Crepe's shoulder before the Chairperson called out for their first mission.
