Mew and her friends are walking along Rustboro City.

"I can't wait to get to Dewford Island," Mew says.

Pikachu and Eevee agree.

"And I also can't wait for my next gym battle," Mew says.

Then May says, "Hey, before we leave, don't you think we should try some of Rustboro City's famous pasta?"

"Any idea where we can get some? Certainly not in this neighborhood," Max asks.

He then looks around and sees boarded up buildings.

"Don't worry, little brother. I printed out these directions from the computer when we were at the Pokemon Center. Pretty smart, huh?" May says and smiles, "Oh, yum! Some pasta before we get on the boat would be perfect!"

But when they arrive, they find, to their shock, that the place was closed and boarded up.

"It's closed!" Tomo says, shocked.

"And it's all boarded up," Brock says.

"No way! It says right here this restaurant is on the most in places to eat list!" May cries out.

"Have you checked the date on the map?" Jen asks.

"Jen's right. It might be an out-of-date map," Max says.

"Hey, Max, I did! This article happened to have come out yesterday!" Max angrily says and looks at the map, "See? Says right here," But realizes something on the paper.

"Yeah? Go on," Brock says.

"So, what's the date on it, May?" Jen asks.

"Amaura," (Please tell us.) Amaura says.

"It's this month, and this day... from ten years ago," May says, weakly.

Everyone exclaims, "WHAT?!"

Having earned her first Hoenn gym badge, Mew and her hungry friends prepare to board a ferry bound for Dewford Island and the next gym battle.

"How can this be happening?" May asks.

"How can we find the boat if we can't find the port?" Brock adds.

"This is so weird," May says.

Soon, Max runs up, "Hey, guys! I found it! It's the port! Over there! Past the cape!"

Everyone soon spots it, miles away from them.

"What do you know?" May replies.

"I guess there's been a lot of change here in the last ten years," Brock says.

"Aww!" Mew, Jen, and Molly reply.

But May reassures, "Hey, guys, cheer up! We did find the beach after all, didn't we?"

"Lotta good that does if we're just gonna miss the boat anyway," Mew says.

May's smile and enthusiasm soon fades.

"What do we do now?" Molly asks.

"I'm pretty sure we must've already missed the morning by this time," Max says.

"That's right, so there's no point in getting all worked up when we can just sit back and have a soda and relax," Brock says.

"Good thinking! We got tons of time before the afternoon boat," Max says.

"I suppose you're right. I can use this time to come up with an idea on my battle, and to find a Pokemon Contest for me to compete in," Mew says.

"Good idea," Brock says, "After all, the gym isn't going anywhere.
