Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Words That Kill

"There it is! The flags!" Deerling exclaimed.

It was a sight for sore eyes, they had finally reached the end of the dungeon and found the flags. There were two flags. Ian sighed in relief, once again his team have come out on top again. With the help of the Looplets and Emeras of course, providing the team all kinds of beneficial boosts.

"Looks like Patience's team hasn't reached here yet." Ian said.

"Alright!" Deerling cheered. "Score one for the girls!"

"Ahem..." Ian coughed.

"Oh, and boy as well." She corrected.

Deerling picked up the flag and the three started making their way back to school. And after awhile, finally arrived back at the school field. Patience's team arriving shortly after.

"Excellent work! Team Almighty Glorious- ah forget it, I can't keep track of these long team names I come up with."

Ian, Deerling and Espurr looked at each other and smiled for a job well done.

"Now, for the other team..." Watchog said, looking at Patience and Pancham, who were in the midst of an argument, with Goomy in the middle of them.

"Why am I to be blamed for all this?!" Patience yelled.

"Because YOU keep going on ahead and dragging us into dangerous places!" Pancham yelled back.

"Says you! You used up all of our items!"

"Because you were a terrible teammate!"

"Oh, it's on!" Patience said, head butting Pancham shortly after. Causing the panda Pokemon to lose his balance and fall.

"Why you...!"

Pancham got up and rammed into Patience, locking the two into a stance, both trying to push each other down.

Goomy simply sighed at this, as did Vice Principal Watchog, who shook his head in disappointment.

"Teamwork is clearly important when exploring dungeons, unlike those two troublemakers..." He said. "I can assure you that they will be given extra assignments, and also serving some time in detention, to think about what they've done. And with that, class is dismissed!"

When the last bell finally rang, everyone got up from their seats and started heading back home. Except for Patience and Pancham, who were almost at each other's throats.

Audino, who was at the school gates, was wishing the students goodbye.

"Bye Miss Audnio." Espurr said.

"Have a nice day Espurr!" Audino wished.

"See ya later, doc." Ian said.

"Yes, you take care of yourself Ian!"

As Ian started walking back, he couldn't help but notice Patience behavior, she had been acting more aggressive and cold. Something that he never expected from her. Was it because of what he had said the previous day that is the cause of this? Did she want to prove herself competent by being more serious?

"Ian!"

The mudfish Pokemon turned around to see Deerling and Goomy running up to him.

"Walking alone again huh?" Deerling asked.

"Well, yeah, Patience did get detention." Ian replied.

"That's what we wanted to talk to you about." The deer Pokemon said. "Patience has been acting unusual today. Like she isn't herself."
