Chapter 10: "The Gift". Unwanted Reunions.

Josh and his team felt how motionless the air felt once they've woken up. Maybe it was the big relief of coming to a new part of the Region and being in a laxed area. Either way, it became apparent to them with quietness setting in as well. They step out, seeing the same lights waving around. "Uh Cy, what's the thing about this place again?" asked Josh, "Oh man, J. Im afraid I dont have much about this place..S-sorry about that.. ;" Cy said, "Dont sweat it, Cy. Im sure it shouldnt be too bad for us. Oh I know!. Tiff use Bounce to see what we're dealing with in these parts" Josh ordered her, which she nods to. Tiff goes into the air with her springy legs, and sees walls of sand blocking her beyond the small town's gate exit. "*lands* I a canted seeings. it ton sands" Tiff told him, "Sounds like a sandstorm..Looks like we'll have to drag out feet through it as best we can. Let's see what this town's like first" Josh declared as they walked into the entry room. To their surprise there wasnt anyone there to greet them...Even worse, once they got there, no one was to be seen despite a bunch of one-story houses being built. Is that spooky or what! They found a young man with tall spikey hair in a black robe (covering his arms) and a young lady that was well-endowed with long ponytails, both tattered and beaten while on the ground in the distance. Seeing this Josh and Cypress ran to their aid.

"[Josh] *kneels over to them* Hey what happened to you two?! You're in really bad shape! What happened with this town?!"

"[?]...*opens eyes to him* Not so loud will you? I am resting for a reason."

"[Josh] How am I supposed to calm down? You both are hurt really badly! Cy, get 'Tricia's Healing Pulse ready!"

"[?] Pl...eas..se...Leave..us...n..now..."

"[Josh] ! What the..Are you crazy?! There's no way I'll leave now!"

"[Cypress] J is right! I'm a Ranger and I'm supposed to help people when they're like this!"

"[?] If you're so curious. My arms were broken. There was a major battle we had. Name's Howard. Over there is Rachael."

"[Josh] You mean..Dont tell me...It was them, wasnt it.."

"[Howard] Yes, them. The group of lunatics. We tried working closely with them, now look at us..We did our best to save as many people and their homes. Now they all migrated to the other connected towns."

"[Josh] (Could...Could that explain why me and Cy got rid of those towers so easily? Maybe the heavy-hitters were dealt with by these guys.)"

"[Cypress] Sooo what about that bridge? W-what exactly happened to it? The whole thing looks like it stretched for 4 miles."

"[Howard] If it wasnt for us, all of the bridges would've been gone. *sees Josh & Cypress' eyes jump* There 10 Pokemon they had who were able to do very large attacks, depsite most being in their 2nd evolution stage."

"[Josh] Y-yeah, we're...Kinda trying to investigate that while I'm out on my Journey...Sorry to hear about this..Guessing you two're the Gym Leaders?"

"[Rachael] *grunts while being healed* Ghnnn..Y-yeah...I got..Poison Type Pokemon..While he has Ground Types.."

"[Cypress] Y-your Pokemon cant help take you to any Centers?"

"[Howard] If we could, we would've. They're in even worse shape than us, and the towns people wont come out of hiding."

"[Josh] Dont you worry..We'll talk to them! Im sure they dont feel good at all being hidden like that. I'd bet they need to know they're safe again."

"[Cypress] J...Wouldnt that mean we'll have to stay here for a while? We wanna make sure they can come out without being afraid and all.."
