The Paldean Vacation Adventure with the ES Squad!

The Shiny Crystal

Sunshine had woken up, she was on the ground while Speed and Lazuli we're both crying and hugging each other. Sunshine was oddly confused but joined in the hug. Lazuli realized Sunshine was awake and joined the hug, she was even more happy than before.

Speed: OK, since we're all awake, let's find the mansion.

Lazuli and Sunshine nodded while they both smiled at each other. Speed looked back at them and smiled while looking up at the moon, he was wondering if they will ever find the mansion.

Now with Crystal, you see... she was slick and smooth. She was able to get to an open field and she looked around for Speed, Lazuli or Sunshine. She kept doing this over and over when she took a small break. Eventually, when she stopped to eat something, it was almost day. Crystal smiled as the sun had soon approached daytime but she had no time for smiling and eating. As soon as she ate a Sitrus Berry, she kept walking and looking for her brother and the other two girls.

Now back with Mollie, she had told Sev about Crystal escaping the mansion, he was shocked but wasn't suprised. He looked at the guards who we're exhausted and worn down. Sev clapped his hands as the guards quickly ran up to him.

Security guards: Sir, yessir!

Sev smiled and told the guards to get some rest at the special room he assigned for them. The guards were suprised but they listened to Sev's orders as they smiled and was almost running like zombies to their special rooms. Mollie realized that Sev was kind and passionate. Even though his guards failed their jobs at protecting the tourists and making sure no one got past the mansion, he respected them as normal Pokémon. Mollie smiled and kept talking to Sev about the situation while Flare was banging his head softly on a wall.

Flare's inner thoughts: Why, why?! Why did Crystal run off? Is she gonna try to save big bro and the others? Why... why did she go out there... without me...?

Flare was just banging his head on the wall while crying. It was like he was mentally unstable but tried to hide the pain away.

After an hour, the rest of the gang came down. Everyone was pretty happy but still quite worried about Speed and the others. Everyone saw Flare near the wall, he had found a way to hit his head hard enough to start bleeding from his head. Pearl grabbed Flare and took him to Mollie. Everyone had breakfast besides Mollie, Flare and Black. Black was pretty silent but he realized that Mollie had Flare on her lap and was caressing his fur softly. Black looked at Sev who was making a plan. Black looked at the door and looked back at the rest of the others who also came along to the trip. Black went up to Mollie and asked her where was Crystal. Mollie looked away and sighed.

Mollie: She... also ran away...

Black was suprised but felt bad for Mollie but kinda had a feeling on how Crystal felt about this situation. He grabbed Pearl and Sylvia after they finished their breakfast to his room. Flare followed along to see if Black had a plan or maybe something better.

Back with Speed, Lazuli and Sunshine... Speed was fending off other Pokémon while Lazuli had Sunshine on her back. Lazuli and Sunshine was singing many songs that they made up together. Speed never realized this but he knew he could trust Lazuli. While Sunshine was singing with Lazuli, she noticed a shiny piece of light. Sunshine hopped off of Lazuli's back and ran to the shiny piece.

Lazuli: Sunny, where ya going? Did you find something?

Sunshine showed her a clear crystal that was so shiny that it looked like it was made by the sun itself. Lazuli and Sunshine both looked at the crystal and they were both intrigued in it.

Lazuli: Maybe Speed will know what crystal this is...

Sunshine nodded as she ran up to her father who was sitting down after being exhausted from the fights he had to do.
