32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 76 Into the Computer

When Ash, Pikachu, and Greninja arrive at Agate Circus, they decide to enter the circus to find Terra. But all they find is Samson.

Samson: Yo. How's your little rescue operation going? Not gonna lie, I'm a little anxious for Agate City to be reopened. This whole half-circus, half-shelter thing is for the birds. Uh, no offense to Ciel.

Before Ash can say anything, Ciel also walks into the room.

Ciel: Oh, Samson, what brutish slander are you muttering about me now?

Samson: I was just telling Ash about the thong you're apparently wearing.

This causes Ash and Ciel to blush in embarrassment, and Ciel seems to be offended.

Ciel: Right, we're going to try this again, you and I. (Leaves and walks back in again) Hello, Ash and ever-cordial Samson. How are you each on this fine day? (Notices the Battle Pass - Gravity in his hand) Oh? Ash, I see you've obtained another Battle Pass. Terra's, is it? That is somewhat unfortunate. You see, we don't actually know where she is.

Samson: She's been disappearing for days at a time for a while now. And as you might imagine when she's around, everyone in a fifty-mile radius tends to be keenly aware of her.

Ciel: Of course, the question does remain as to just where she has been vanishing. There aren't exactly a lot of options, and we can safely rule out Agate and beyond thanks to the sleeping spell.

Ash: (Realizes something) Agate City...she was the one who found Cain and me there and brought us there...she shouldn't have been in there without falling asleep herself, right?

Ciel: Oh, please. Terra's very presence is an inherent detriment to sleep.

Samson: You would know, huh? Got that position number 52 on deck?

Ciel: At any rate! It does make sense for her to traipse about Agate if she is perhaps looking for the source of the signal she was tracing.

Samson: Not really. She said it was in Ametrine.

Ash: Um...guys, I think that the Team Meteor Agent Titawin is actually Terra, that's what I've found back in Ametrine.

Ciel: Why, that's nonsense! They would never accept a girl like that with all of her... Rawrness, and her generally maniacal deviance. Just think about what you're saying, darling!

Samson: Actually, it might not be impossible. For instance-

Before Samson can say anything, Terra walks into the room and gives Samson and Ciel a kiss, much to their surprise.

Terra: awwwright, furgot you dun lyk that stuff in the publx AYE AYE AYE AYE CAPTAIN SHIERU, WE SAVE IT FOR WHEN I LAND IN YO PORT TONIGHT

Ciel: Don't just make stuff like that up!

Terra: SO, SUPPERONI BOYS AND GIRLS AND PERSONS OF NONDISCRIMINATE GENDER IDENTITY?

Samson: We were just discussing the possibility of you being a member of Team Meteor.

Ash widens his eyes at Samson's obliviousness, he just spills the beans without even trying to ask first.

Terra: u wot m7 (Laughs) LEWL THAT'S THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD ALL THIRTY SECONDS (Walks towards the Computer)

Ciel: So it's not true, right?
