About two months or so had passed since this little world-saving quest hard started and right now it was early morning. The sun was already up, shining brightly and beating down harshly on the small group of travelers. The walk was mostly silent as they went along and Dawn, Spark, Pachirisu, Pikachu, Piplup, and an unhatched Pokémon egg were slowly but surely making their way up the many hills and ledges that made up most of the Coronet Highlands. They had already quelled the frenzied noble in Obsidian Fieldlands and the one in the Crimson Mirelands. And so, with all that stuff taken care of, according to the phone in Dawn's pocket, it showed on the digatal map that there were still a few none messes to take care of and clean up in the Cobalt Coastlands. So off to the Coronet Highlands they went, keeping a determined yet cautious gaze ahead of them as they walked along the worn pathway while also avoiding any unwanted fights and taking breaks when needed while also protecting the still unhatched Pokémon egg safe from any and all harm until it was due to hatch.
They were currently hiding behind some rocks and watching the area with Elctrode trying to figure out how to get past the warden patrolling the area to fight it. They eventually were able to figure out that this Electrode in question was a duel electric and grass-type Pokémon. Knowing that though made them learn pretty quickly that none of the Pokémon in the group knew any fire, rock, or ground-type moves at all in their skillset to help fight off the agitated alpha Pokémon.
"Oh for spirits sakes! There has to be some way to get past this little roadblock! We gotta do something soon to quell the frenzy before it gets out of hand!" Dawn muttered anxiously to herself as she continued to observe the chaos being made from a safe distance away.
"Sne ler. Sneasler! (There you little triublemakers are! Why are you here? And what exactly are you doing here anyway?)" A rather angry and slightly annoyed voice said from behind them and making them all jump back in surprise. After getting over their shock, Dawn and the Pokémon at her side all swiveled their heads and turned around only to see the rather angry face of a noble Pokémon called Sneasler who had its arms crossed over its chest and a rather icy, death-like glare directed at each and every one of them.
"Pi. Chupi, pika pika Pika. Chu. (Oh, um, hello there! We don't mean to intrude but our trainer, Dawn, the bluenette right here recieved a request from Arceus to quell all frenzied nobles. But you see, the thing is we can't figure out how to get past that man to quell Electrode. That's not the worst part though, as if things weren't already bad enough: neither myself nor my friends over there know any good moves because of type matchups along with not having the corect knowledge in mind to learn a new move. So yeah, long story short, we need some help to learn a few new moves or risk getting siverly injured or worse!)" Spark said it all in one breath, gasping and panting for air while also trying not to have a full-blown anxiety attack at the thought of dying in battle and thus leaving her mate and unhatched child without both parents there to help teach it the ways of the Pokémon world.
Lucky for Spark and the others, the Sneaslel agreed to help them out while also preventing Spark's mind from spiraling even further into a panicked-frenzy that was no thanks to the over analytical portion of her brain.
"Snea. Sneas, sne sneasler. Sne. Ler sne. Sneasler sne ler. Sne sneasler. (Well you are lucky. I can sense you are telling the truth and I can help you, but first you need a good move against an electric and grass type. Hmmm. It is still neutral power but helpful I can teach you three Play Rough. I saw some of the other pokemon in the area learn it enough times to teach it even if I can't use it myself. Afterwards I can help distract Warden Melli so you can get in and fight Electrode.)
"Thank you." Dawn said after Spark, Pachirisu, and Pikachu translated through charades and mimicking. "We should probably learn back at camp. We left Piplyp there guarding Spark and Pachirisu's egg since as a water type he is at a double disadvantage."
Sneasel nodded at that before they returned and spent two days learning the move before heading back to face Electrode while Sneasler distracted Warden Melli in a way he did not know who did it.
They were doing well especially with the help of Play Rough until Electrode attacked Dawn directly with Chlorablast.
The others rushed forward to stop it when a flamethrower came rushing in and made the attack explode, looking back they saw Ash's Cyndaquil.
Pi pikai? Pika pi!"?(Cyndaquil? How are you here?)" Spark asked, her voice rising in pitch due to her shock at seeing one of her Pokémon standing across from her with an equally baffled look on her face.
Cyndaquil's mouth dropped open and in her shock, the flames burning on her back suddenly fizzled out and all that was left was a few tendrils of steam.
"(Cyn Lynda cyn. Cyndaquil Cyndi quil Cyn. Cynda. Quil.(I was caught in a space time distortion and ended up in the Crimson Mirelands. I heard a group talking about Dawn and you and followed them out of the distortion and tracked you down. I wasn't about to let you disappear ems like I was just in time.)" Cyndaquil said, smiling wildly and unleashing another flamethrower as she helped fight the Electrode by using a rather super effective fire type attacks giving them an edge as the quelled the frenzy, with Cyndaquil even evolving into Quilava in the process.
As the two Pokémon were chattering happily to each other, Dawn could only stand there with a mix of confusion and a little hint of amusement as she continued to watch her Pikachu talk adamantly with a random Cyndaquil.
"But how though? And another thing, how in the blazing suns did you recognize me? Am I really that eased to find? Cause if so, Quilava you're a jenious! (Pi Pika! Pika Chu Pi Pichu Pika?)" Spark's eyes were glinting with questions and Cyndaquil couldn't muffle the amused laugh that bubbled up from her throat.
"Cyndi Cyndi! Cyn Cyn Cyndaquil Cynda! (I found you so easily cause Pikachu told us that you were a Pikachu again! And as for your other question, you're an easy person - ed - Pokémon to find: Well, for the most part, anyway." Quiana told her former trainer in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.
They then immediately had to run away from an angry Melli who let the clans know about Dawn. They met back up with Puplup and the egg and showed Quilava Spark and Pachirisu's egg which was close to hatching.
