Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Journey To The Air Continent

Excerpts from The Grass Continent: The Land of Time.

Time Gears are mystical artefacts that are scattered across the Grass Continent. Said to be created by Dialga, the Pokemon of time, to maintain the flow of time across the continent. Why or how he created these artefacts remain a mystery.

Following the Time Gear Incident that nearly saw the planet's paralysis, safety measures have been taken to protect the Time Gears to ensure nothing like it ever happens again.

"Welcome to the Lapras Express! Where may I take you today?"

"Wait, you're Lapras?" Ian asked the blue aquatic Pokemon that was in front of him.

"Off course child, who else did you think I was?" Lapras said, she looked down at the badge that was on his scarf and recognized it as the Expedition Society badge. "You must be the new recruits I've heard so much from the residents."

"Indeed we are!" Patience said, pumping her chest out in pride.

Ian still felt sleepy, they had woken up at the break of dawn to get prepared for the journey to the Air Continent. Glaceon had told them not to eat anything before heading off. 'Because a full stomach and motion sickness is going to be a bad time.' She said.

"Please your pass please." Lapras said.

"P-pass?" Patience asked. "What pass?"

"Oh yeah I forgot about that," Glaceon said. "you guys need to buy a pass to a continent so you can travel on Lapras Express, she has to make a living somehow you know."

"And where can we buy this pass?" Ian asked.

"At the Kecleon store, costs two thousand Poké per Pokemon." Lapras replied.

"TWO THOUSAND?!" Ian and Patience both exclaimed in shock. They just barely have enough in their savings to afford one pass, how were they suppose to get another one?

"Don't worry I got you two covered."

As if he had read their minds, Archen finally arrived, two square looking objects in hand.

"Archen...!" Patience said. "Did you-?!"

"Ampharos's paying for this one." The first bird Pokemon said. "Consider it a welcome gift from him." He handed the two passes to Ian and Patience. The pass was a piece of paper wrapped in plastic, the words "Air Continent" written on it, at the back of the pass was the location of said continent on the map.

"Very well then." Lapras said. "How about you two, do you have passes?"

Archen and Glaceon reached into their Expedition bag and took out passes identical to Ian and Patience's.

"Silly me, you've traveled to the Air Continent multiple times, of course you would have passes." Lapras said, scratching her head in embarrassment. "Hop on and we'll set off."

The four Expedition Society members climbed onto Lapras's back. Ian thought that it would be pretty crammed, considering how small Lapras's back is, but it was surprisingly spacious, with enough room for everyone.

"All aboard!" Lapras announced. "Setting sail for the Air Continent!" She started swimming, Ian and Patience watched as Lively Town slowly get further and further from them, eventually disappearing off the horizon.

"Hey Patience," Ian called out. "would you mind waking me up when we get there? I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

"Will do, partner." She happily obliged.

Satisfied with the response, Ian laid back on Lapras and watched the blue sky above, slowly closing his eyes until he finally fell asleep.

"Sister! Sister wake up!"
