It had been about three hours since the robo-Espeons had attacked our heroes. That had won, obviously. Storm was now leading the way to Phantom, but little did everyone else know that Storm didn't exactly know Phantom was.

"Ughhhh I'm so tired." Candy groaned.

"Storm, do you even know where you're going?" Crystal asked Storm.

"Of course I do!" he replied. He stopped. "... Okay, I'm going to be honest, I know where he is, just not exactly. I-I mean, remember how I told you guys where he stays is unsavory? It's more of a town than a place..."

Candy suddenly slammed herself on the ground. "UGHHH I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED YOU TO LEAD US TO THE GUIDE!"

"Candy be nice! At least Storm knows where he is; Or else we would still be back on the field." Zappy said, stopping in front of Candy.She mumbled some not so nice words. Both Crystal and Zappy gasped.

"CANDY SUGAR-" she got interrupted by Zappy.

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! I HAVE BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO HAVE YOU GUYS NOT CURSE AROUND PEPE AND THIS IS WHAT I GET BACK!" Zappy roared.

He tried to charge towards Candy, but Storm and Crystal held him back. Candy stood from the ground and walked back from him.

"LET ME AT HER!" Zappy screamed, his voice rising with every word. "I GOING TO STUFF HER INTO BLENDER AND BAKE HER INTO A PIE AND I'LL FEED IT TO PHANTOM! WHEN HE SAYS "Mm this is so great! What's your secret?" I'M GONNA SAY-"

Zappy looked down at Pepe, who was staring at him in a worried look. He realized what he was doing and calmed down.

"...Love. And nurturing" he finished. Storm and Crystal let go of Zappy. He knelt down and petted her. "I'm sorry. I just... She's too young to understand those words right now." Zappy explained.

Candy sighed. "I'm sorry too. I'm just... tired-"

She slammed back onto the ground.

Crystal shook her head. "Typical-"

"DO YOU GUYS HEAR THAT!?" Willow asked

"PSY DUCK! PSY PSY! PSYDUCK!!!!!!!!" the voice screamed from a distance.

"It sounds like Psyduck. He doesn't sound okay..." Storm looked towards the direction of the screaming Psyduck and started running. "HEY! DON'T WORRY! SOMEONE'S COMING RIGHT NOW!"

"STORM, WAIT!" Willow called out, going after him.

"I'll stay here with Candy just in case she wakes up and something happens. You two go on ahead!" Crystal told Zappy and Pepe.

"Yeah. You give her a good slap in the face for me when she wakes up." Zappy asked her to do as he gave Pepe and piggyback ride and ran off.

Storm and Willow arrived at a pond where they saw a Psyduck, struggling to stay above water. Zappy and Pepe showed up behind them a few seconds later.

"Oh no! That poor Psyduck is drowning!" Pepe said worried

Storm stared at the Psyduck in disbelief. "Are you kidding me!? YOU'RE LITERALLY A WATER TYPE! HOW ARE YOU DROWNING!?" Storm exclaimed.
