'I'm coming, bud! Don't you worry!' 

Dravos had his hand clenched into a fist as they ran across Route 202. Ignoring anyone or anything else that was around until they made it to the entrance to the city.

Neither of them hesitating even a bit as they passed through the threshold and onto the dark-colored cross roads. Knowing this would be an annoying task given the fact they know nothing of what these supposed Starly would be up to.

Dawn came in shortly behind him. Both teens looked around quite frantically as nothing was to be seen.

"Damnit!" The male spat out a light curse as his breath was shaky from running and the current thoughts running through his head.

"Calm down, we'll find him." Dawn tried to reassure the male as she put a gentle hand on him. Him groaning out in response to her as he rubbed his aching head.

'His Pokémon really means a lot to him..' The navy-haired girl thought as she soon retracted her soft hand from his tense shoulder.

"Dawn! Dravos!!" A terrified sounding Barry rushed into view. Waving his hands around as he looked to have seen a ghost. "It's crazy!! There's all these Starly and they're flying into buildings and- and-!"

BOOM

What sounded like an explosion occurred from across the town. It was all too close to the Poketch company's building. The fire was about to spread before what looked like steam began to arise from it. The flames slowly went out as a jet of water spewed out from somewhere across the town.

"Huh?" Barry, looking all too confused, tried to look and see what was going on.

"There's no time to worry about that! We have to check on the people who live here." Dravos said as he was already looking around. The terrified and startled townsfolk were all out of their homes and works. Staring at the fire that's being put out by random streams of water.

'Where's it coming from?' Was their main thought until their attention was brought to the source. Barry suddenly

"Hmph! Threatening a lady like that. How rude!"

"Rude!? You're the one interrupting us, lady! Zubat, supersonic!"

"Vagues roulantes!" [rolling waves]. The female said and snapped her fingers together.

Moments later, the little bat-like Pokémon was hit by a sphere of water. The force being strong enough to launch the eyeless creature into a building – successfully causing it to faint.

"Now headbutt this brute!"

"Warrr!!" The water dispersed from its blinding, sphere type shape to reveal its true form. It was a dark-colored shell of all things. An indigo-colored head came out of the shell as it had tucked the head back. It's feather-like ears on each side of the head pointing at the back of the gray and white suited man. Him losing his breath as the turtle Pokémon launched itself into the man with a horrid looking bowl cut. His eyes widened as he fell to his knees before the woman.

The female held a cheeky grin as she giggled. "You're both doing great!" She said cheerfully, looking towards another Pokémon who was behind her. "Keep it up! The fires are about out!"

"Por!"

A quadrupedal, amphibious but mammal looking Pokémon blasted out another jet stream of water at the blazing flames. Its light-blue body glimmered just like the water it was shooting out. Dark eyes focused on the fire as it had some strange, yellowish colored webbing along the forehead and on the sides of the face. 

A dark blue ridge rode along parts of the face and spine as it created spikes along the body and its finned tail. A white ruff completing its form as the Pokémon soon shook its head. Stopping the water from flowing as the fire had gone out.

"Woah.." Dawn was clearly amazed by these two water-types to a point her pulling out a Pokédex. Flipping it on to aim the device at the widely-grinning turtle.

Wartortle, the Turtle Pokémon. It is said to live 10,000 years. Its furry tail is popular as a symbol of longevity.

The female then turned towards the amphibious mammal to figure out what it was.

Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokémon. Its cell composition is similar to water molecules. As a result, it can melt away into water.

'Interesting.. would that mean she uses purely water-types?' Dawn mentally questioned as she looked at the woman after her attention went away from the Pokémon themselves.

"War! Wartortle!" The water-type seemed oddly happy while pointing at someone. That someone just happened to be Dravos as the male blinked a bit. 'That Pokémon seems familiar... how would I-. Hold up.... that hair..' 

He paused in his thoughts and movements. Thinking long and hard before suddenly being hit head-on. Having to fall back as he felt a pair of slender arms squeeze him. "DRAVOS!!!!"

"Huh!? You know him?!!" Barry and Dawn said in a rhythmic unison. The duo take a few quick steps back to avoid getting knocked over themselves. Both continue to stare at this unknown blue-haired girl.

"Alright alright! Calm down, Mizu!" Dravos said in a quite exasperated tone; trying his hardest to squirm out of her strangely tight grip.

"It's been ages! I will not!" The girl said as she squeezed him once again. Her seeming all too excited about seeing him again before another loud noise pierced through their eardrums.

BOOM

"Okay enough! We've really got to figure this out before the whole town explodes!" Dravos said as he was finally released. Letting out a breath as he put a hand against his chest. The male let out another sigh of relief before he gazed at the building that was in flames.

"Damnit!"

"We've got to figure out what's going on.. did someone plant bombs or is it some other catastrophe?"

"I agree, but there's not much we can do in this situation. We don't know what their target is or if there's actually something in there blowing up."

"I'm not sure either, but those flock of Starly must really have a brave nature." Barry commented as the two followed his gaze.

"Flock of..?" All three looked up as Dawn's eyes widened.

""Those false Starly!! They have my partner!" Dravos shouted as he pointed at the birds. The male quickly went to run and try to grab one of the incognito birds. A hand quickly grabbing him and yanking him back by the collar of his shirt. "Here you go again, being brash!" The blue-haired girl said as she let out a huff.

"Those Starly are the culprits for blowing the buildings up.. I saw it while I was fighting that goon." She stated before watching the birds. "If we want to find Pikachu, we have to go about this strategically.."

"Strategically? Mizu? My lord, that's even more of a joke!"

"And now he thinks I'm being funny, typical of you." The girl said as she pulled him back a bit more. She giggled a bit before her eyes went onto the blue-eyed male. 

"I've changed a lot, dear Dravos. Now let's work to get Pikachu back, ya?"

"Yea.." Dravos seemed awestruck by this.

'She really isn't that obsessed little girl anymore... man.. maybe all of us have grown up...'

"Alright I hate to ruin all the flirting! But they're all flocking into the TV station!"
