The group were on the road, nearing a forest where the Battle Tower was said to be located.

Ryu: Zoro, stop here for a bit.

Zoro: Sure, but why?

Ryu: For one, there's a lake nearby, and Marshtomp hasn't actually swam in a while. For two, probably not a good idea to wake up sleeping Pokémon nearby. Also Blade and Nova wanna come out too.

Gary: Walking it is then.

They all stepped out, and immediately Ryu's Starters popped out, along with Marshtomp.

Ryu: There's a whole lake for you buddy.

Marshtomp: MARSH!!!

The mud fish leaped up, before diving into the lake. Taking the opportunity presented, Nova spread her wings and flew into the air.

Gary: There she goes. Nova really does like having an open space.

Ryu: That and she hates being stuck in her Pokeball for more than 2 hours.

They began to walk again, as Ryu sensed multiple Pokémon nearby, stopping.

Ryu: Beedrill ahead.

Gary: What?

Immediately they heard the buzzing of an angry insect, with a Beedrill indeed coming out from a bush toward them angrily.

Ruby: Uh oh!

???: Beedrill, hold on!

They all heard a new voice. A girl with lavender hair wearing white jumped in front of Ryu.

Ryu: What the?

Beedrill began to buzz angrily, as the girl looked at the Pokémon.

???: Please, I can't understand you when you're so angry!

Zoro: 'Did she say understand?'

The Pokémon buzzed more, with both Ryu and seemingly the girl understanding the problem.

???: I see.

Ryu: Beedrill, we didn't mean any harm to your nest. The four of us are just passing by. You're safe, I promise.

Beedrill seemed to calm down, as in the bushes, another Beedrill and two Kakuna peaked their heads out.

Gary: Well what do you know?

Beedrill flew back, as Ryu and the girl looked at each other.

Ryu: Anyway now that THAT'S settled- YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT BEEDRILL?!!

???: I was gonna ask you the same thing!!! I've never met someone else able to communicate with them like me!!

Ruby: Is it me, or did this just both deescalate and escalate at the same time?

Zoro: Probably the yelling.

Blade: Nido?

Nova flew down to watch the scene as well. Once both of them were about to talk again, each teen felt something nearby.

Marshtomp: MAAAAARSH!!!!

Marshtomp jumped out of the water terrified, as behind it came a raging Gyrados.

Ryu: WOAH!!!

It roared as Marshtomp ran to Ryu.

Marshtomp: MARSH, MARSH MARSHTOMP!!!

Ryu: Marshtomp take a breath!!! Why'd Gyrados start chasing you?!

The water serpents tail was raised, as it was covered in water.
