"Who goes there?!" Farfetch'd said, readying his stalk.
"Woah woah woah! Mr Farfetch'd! Mr Fafetche'd! It's us!" Ian called out, hoping to he wouldn't go stalk-happy on him.
It took Fafetche'd a few seconds to realize it was his students that were right in front of him.
"Ian...? Is that you?"
"Yes! So please don't wallop me with that stalk of yours!"
Farfetche'd lowered his stalk, feeling slightly more relaxed at seeing a friendly face. But was also confused at their presence.
"What the heck are you all doing here?!" He asked. "You know that the Ancient Barrow is forbidden right? And what happened to Patience?!"
"Well... We can explain." Deerling said. She began recounting the events that had transpired that led them here, the attack at school, Patience's injuries, Pancham and Shelmet being kidnapped, and Gadget, the Pokemon whom had rescued Farfetche'd, giving chase to the perpetrators.
"Normally, I would be angry at you all not only for sneaking out from your homes, going to the school at night and unsupervised, and entering a forbidden place. But given the circumstances, I'll let this slide."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they are safe from the consequences that would have awaited them if they were caught.
"So, what's the plan now?" Ian asked.
"Allow me to join you." Farfetche'd said. "I want to get to the bottom of this mess as much as you do. And besides, I got a score to settle."
Ian turned to face the rest of the children, their faces all said the same thing.
Why stop him?
"Alright then." Ian said. "Lead the way teacher."
"It's my responsibility as teacher to care for your wellbeing after all." Fafetche'd said, he turned around and lead the group forward, deeper into the Ancient Barrow.
He wasn't the only one who has a score to settle. Ian thought.
"Are you Ampharos? The leader of the Expedition Society?"
"Yes, that's me." Ampharos said to the rather short, long beaked Pokemon, with leaves as hands.
"Who's the other Pokemon with you?" He said, looking at the Pokemon that was next to Ampharos, a short, yellow Pokemon with a giant mouth attached to its head, a book in one hand.
"This is my second-in-command, Mawile."
"Greetings." Mawile said. "And you must be the one in charge here?"
"Yes. The name's Shiftry. It's been a real mess around here. We've been doing our best keeping the press away from the town."
Ampharos could understand why, it's yet another case of an entire town's inhabitants being turned into stone. But if word got out about this, the public is guaranteed to go into a full-scale panic. Which would be a problem he hoped wouldn't happen.
Man, I'd do anything right now for a good nap.
Judging by the position of the sun, it was around late morning, almost noon. With the Air Continent being east of the Water Continent, they were at least 6 hours ahead. While Lively Town is still the dead of night, it was shining brightly here in Pokemon Square.
"Follow me, I'll show you the Square" Shiftry said, as he led the two Expedition Society members. They approached a three-way junction. In front of them was a garden of sorts, at the center of it, a statue of two Pokemon, heads lifted high to the skies above.
