Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Hello, Lively Town!

"There it is! I see an exit!" Patience exclaimed as she ran towards the exit. Ian and Gadget following after her.

When they exited Gentle Slope Cave, a bright light blinded them as their eyes adjusted to the outside light, when it finally did, they noticed that they were by an edge of a cliff, Patience standing by it.

"Look! Over there! Is that Lively Town?" Patience said, pointing at an area which looked like a city by the ocean.

"It is indeed." Gadget replied. "That right there, is Lively Town."

Patience expression changed to that of excitement at the mention of Lively Town, Ian smiled as well, they had finally reached their destination.

"What's that building over there?" Patience asked, pointing towards a tall structure that was next to the sea. Ian squinted and eventually found what Patience was pointing at.

"That's a lighthouse." Gadget replied. "It's a structure for Pokemon traveling here by sea to show that they are about to hit land at night."

Patience continued looking at the town in awe, unable to control her excitement, she dashed ahead and ran down the hill, towards the path that leads to Lively Town.

"What are you waiting for Slowpokes?" She yelled, as she continued running ahead.

Ian and Gadget both sighed, amazed at how energetic the Fennekin was.

"She's really hyperactive." Gadget commented.

"You think this is bad, you should have seen her when we got our Expedition Society kit." Ian said, as the two ran to catch up with Patience.

A whole new place, a whole new attitude.

Ampharos woke up, feeling groggy and sick. He was surprised he even managed to get a wink of sleep, considering the fact that they were always rocking from the constant waves, made him dizzy and seasick.

Goodness, I think I'll just head straight to my office and go back to bed when we get back. He thought, a few more extra hours of sleep seemed like a luxury at the moment.

He turned to his right and saw Mawile, who was already awake and was reading one of he many books she had back at the Expedition Society.

"Good morning boss." She greeted. "Slept well?"

"My neck aches and I feel like I'm about to throw up, so no." Ampharos replied.

"We still have a few more hours before we reach Lively Town." Mawile said, as she continued reading her book.

"What are you even reading anyway?" The lighthouse Pokemon asked.

"Oh this?" Mawile said, raising her book. "It's a book on Pokemon evolution. Tell me something, are you able to still evolve?"

"Of course not," Ampharos replied. "I'm already at the final stage of my evolutionary line."

"Well, what if I told you that is not entirely true? That there's actually sort of 'further evolution'."

"You're joking."

Mawile shook her head. "For the past decade, Pokemon across the world have reported changing appearance despite being fully evolved. The strange part is that those Pokemon returned to their original appearance after a short period of time."

Ampharos was suddenly intrigued with this discussion. A new form of evolution? How has he not heard of this? Then again, he wasn't really a Pokemon that reads a lot, he preferred to learn things through experience.
