Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Connections

"Wake up."

"Ugh... It's morning already?" Keldeo said. "Give me five more minutes, Virizion."

Verizion sighed, but couldn't really blame the colt Pokemon's exhaustion, it's been four days since they had arrived in the Water Continent, and nowhere close to their destination.

"I'm just as tired as you, Keldeo. But we still have our job to do. Now come on, get up."

Keldeo laid still for few more seconds before giving in, he got up and let off a yawn.

"How far till we reach Lively Town?" He asked.

Verizion opened her map and examined it.

"We could be there by tomorrow." She replied.

"Oh thank goodness! I don't think I can survive another-"

"Night." Verizion finished, to the dismay of Keldeo.

"Oh you got to be kidding me!" He exclaimed.

"Come on, we got no time to lose."

"I think I'm going to faint..." Keldeo mumbled, as the two continued onwards to Lively Town.

To meet up with the Expedition Society.

"Ring-ding ring-ding ring-ding"

"Alright, that concludes today's class." Farfecteh'd announced. "You are dismissed."

The class cheered for the end of another school day.

"Man, I can barely focus today!" Pancham said. "This heat is really starting to get intense!"

"It's not like you even focus in class in the first place." Ian remarked.

"Hey!"

"Summer is coming pretty soon..." Deerling said, sweat dripping of her forehead. "Let's just try to survive these next few days."

The whole class nodded, and the each of them went of their separate ways, leaving only Ian and Patience at the class.

"Alright Ian, today marks the first day of business for The Hydroflames!" She said, tossing a Expedition Society badge to Ian. The mudfish Pokemon caught the badge, and pinned it on his scarf. Patience soon followed as well.

"So uh..., now what?" Ian asked. "I don't suppose there's a bulletin board anywhere with job requests?"

"Not that I recall..." Patience said.

"Ampharos?" He said.

"Ampharos." Patience agreed, and the two made their way for the plaza to find Ampharos.

Ampharos chose to sit at the table furthest from everyone else in the café, he had ordered a cup of Serene Village's well known tea. He had kindly requested Kangaskhan to leave him be, for he had "important work to do". Despite Kangaskhan suspicious of the lighthouse Pokemon, it was not for her to pry into other people's business.

He took out his device, pushed a button and placed in at his ear. Dedenne picked up on the other side.

"What can I do for you, chief?" She said.

"Has our "guests" arrived yet?" He asked.

"We received a message from them just this morning." Dedenne replied. "Hold on... Let me go find it."

The sounds of papers rustling can be heard in the background, after a few minutes Dedenne came back on the line.

"Let's see..." Dedenne coughed, and started reading the message
