Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Summer Vacation

"Is that it...?"

A lone figure pulled down her hood, to confirm her location.

"There's no mistaking it, it's Serene Village." She mumbled, gritting her teeth.

"No more hiding...! I will find you...! And I will get my revenge!"

"Wake up, sleepyhead." Ian ordered.

"Five more minutes..." Patience muttered.

"We're going to miss school at this rate, not to mention it being the last day before summer vacation."

Patience simply grunted, and continued to sleep, annoying the mudfish Pokemon.

"Well, don't say I didn't warn you." Ian said.

"What are you-" She was interrupted as a huge surge of water hit her face, causing her to spring out of her bed. Patience started coughing and looked at Ian in anger.

"You could have found a better way to wake me up rather than splashing water over my face!" She yelled.

"I could." Ian said. "But I'd figured this would be the most effective."

Patience walked up to Ian and lightly punched him in the arm out of frustration.

"Do that again and I'll burn you." She said.

"The early Pidgey gets the Caterpie." Ian said, as he headed into the next room. Patience decided to forget about it, thinking it wasn't worth her time.

"Jackass..." She muttered.

"And with that, class, concludes our final class." Farfetche'd announced. "I wish you all a good summer vacation and remember to-"

Farfetche'd was interrupted by the sudden cheers of the entire class, screaming at the top of their lungs. He simply shrugged and walked off from the class, smiling.

"It's finally summer vacation!" Goomy exclaimed.

"It's been 3000 years...!" Shelmet said.

"Well, I'm outta here. Summer ain't going to wait for me!" Pancham exclaimed as he ran off from the group, followed by Shelmet.

"We'll be off too!" Deerling said to Ian and Patience. "See you guys later!" Deerling and Goomy headed off.

"I'll be heading off as well." Espurr said, following after the others, leaving Ian and Patience the only ones left. The fire fox Pokemon breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Summer's always the best time for me!" She exclaimed.

"Is it because you're a fire type?" Ian asked.

"Well, besides that, I get to spend entire days just fooling around and have fun!"

"Living the dream..." Ian said sarcastically.

Patience reached into her bag and took out her Expedition Gadget and turned it on.

"But now that we're Junior Expedition Society members, we got our work cut out for us." Patience said. "Now come on, let's head to the plaza."

Ian nodded and the two headed straight for the plaza, they had waved Vice Principal Watchog farewell one last time, who from the looks on his face, was eager to go back home and enjoy his summer vacation as well.

Ian couldn't really blame him, to be honest.

"All set!" Patience exclaimed, as she closed the Deposit Box.

"So, what's the job today?" Ian asked.

"An Axew has requested us to teach a mean Pokemon a lesson." Patience explained.

"Sounds easy enough." He said. "Who's the Pokemon?"

"Salemence."

"Wait, WHAT?!" Ian exclaimed, his heart nearly stopping when she mentioned Salemence.

"Yeah, I hope you're ready for a really bad time." Patience said. "Cause I'm not..."

Ian sighed.

"Well, it's not like we have any other choice." Ian said. "Let's head out then."

Patience nodded, and the two headed off to the village gate.

"Where to?" Ian asked.

"Lush Fo- Huh...?"

"What is it?"

Patience started pointing to something.

"Behind you..." She said.

Ian turned around to where Patience was pointing, and saw a tall, hooded, figure. It had black front paws, dark blue rear paws. A slick black body with furry edges, and a the tip of its tail in the shape of a yellow star.

The hooded Pokemon noticed the the two and started approaching them. Making the fire fox and mudfish Pokemon feel uneasy.

The Pokemon stood in front of them, towering over Ian and Patience.

"Could you kids help me with something?" A deep, emotionless female voice said. "Do you know where the Café Connection is?"

Ian and Patience looked at each other in confusion, and Patience decided to speak up.

"Uh... The Café is the big building on your right. You can't miss it."

She pulled down her hood, and noticed the building almost immediately. Her black, spiky hair, rustled as small gust of wind blew past. She had menacing red eyes, with yellow irises.

"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse m-" she stopped herself when she noticed the yellow badge with wings attached on the the two Pokemon, her eyes widened in shock.

"Those badges...?!" She muttered.

"Oh, these?" Patience said, looking at her badge. "We're Junior Expedition Society members!"

The Pokemon reacted in disgust when she said, as if she had just offended her.

"Humph...! Who gave you these badges?" She asked.

Patience was reluctant to reply, but her cold, expressionless eyes intimidated her.

"A-Ampharos gave it to us..." She replied.

The Pokemon raised her eyebrow in suspicion.

"Ampharos?" She said. "Is he still here?"

"I think I last saw him at the Café Connection." Ian replied. It was only for a split second, but he noticed a slight change in expression.

Did she just... smile?

"Thank you." The Pokemon said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way now." She said, walking past Ian and Patience.

"W-wait!" Patience stopped her. "Who are you? What's your name?"

The Pokemon stood there for a few seconds, and shook her head.

"Names are for friends... So I don't need one."

Patience, confused at what she meant, asked again.

"What do we call you then?"

The Pokemon sighed, clearly not interested, decided to answer her question.

"Call me... Gadget." She said, as she started walking away, leaving the two Pokemon behind.

"What an odd fellow..." Patience muttered.

"Agreed." Ian replied. The two of them were just as confused at Gadget's behavior, but there was thing they both agreed on.

Summer just got a whole lot more interesting.

A/N: And that's chapter 21 folks, sorry for the one week delay, I just wasn't motivated to write that week. There was also the fact that I'm planning on writing an Undertale fanfic, so I guess that's part of the reason as well.

Quite a few people had asked me about chapter 20's chapter title, asking why is it all in 0's and 1's. Well in case you didn't know, they're in binary. I'll let you figure out
