Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Team Reviver

Entry #20

What a day. What was supposed to be a normal job of getting berries turned into a mystery of who turned Latios and Latias into stone. It was quite the disturbing sight, seeing what used to be flesh and blood turned completely into stone. Gives me the chills...

We're currently taking shelter at Barem Town's Cafe Connection, thank goodness this place has a few rooms for us to stay in for the night. The storm had gotten worse in the past few hours, heavy winds nearly blowing a few houses off, constant thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. It's as if Kyogre and Thunderous decided to screw with everyone.

Archen is busy trying to contact the Expedition Society, but with the thunderstorms outside, it makes things pretty difficult. Patience is busy grooming herself after getting soaked by the rain. 'A Fennekin's fur is their pride you know.' She said. And Glaceon, she's just staring blankly outside the window, she hasn't said a single word since we got here, even when I asked if she wanted anything to eat, she simply just shook her head.

I'm worried, what she said to me back in Mystical Forest really got me concerned. She looked like she seemed traumatized about something, and from the looks of it, I don't think the rest of the Expedition Society knows as well. I'll try to talk to her if I get the chance, see if I can find out what's bothering her.

"Finally! I got a connection with Dedenne!" Archen announced. Ian and Patience stood up from their chairs in anticipation. "I'm putting her on speaker now."

Wait, those things have speakers? Ian wondered. He noticed that the Expedition Gadget had a blinking green light at its side, was that to indicate the color communication code?

"Dedenne! Can you hear us?" Archen said.

"Ar...too... copy?" A static voice said, possibly Dedenne's.

"What did you say? I can't hear you!" But the sounds of static was his reply.

"The storm is interfering with communications," Ian said. "well that's just great."

"Archen, there's too much interference on your end, do you copy?" Dedenne said, but was only met with silence from the other end. Ampharos stood next to her, who was nervously waiting to hear from Archen and the others.

"Hold on Dedenne, I think I know a way to reach them," Ampharos said. "if I discharge a bit more electricity into you, that should be able to boost our communications."

"I have no idea how any of that would work." Dedenne commented. "But I guess it's worth a shot."

Ampharos was also just as doubtful that this would work, he had always left the science and techno babble to Jirachi. The lighthouse Pokemon was pretty sure that this was not how telecommunications work and that the Expedition Society's technician would give a two hour lecture on the subject, which he wasn't interested in. Ampharos placed his hand on Dedenne's head and carefully discharged a bit of electricity into her body, not enough for it to start hurting.

"Try again now." Ampharos said.

Dedenne nodded and tried hailing Archen again, small bolts of electricity flew out of her whiskers, traveling from the Expedition Society building all the way to the Expedition Gadget of wherever Archen, Ian, Patience and Glaceon were.

"This is Dedenne, Archen if you can hear this, please respond." Dedenne said, sending her message through the same frequency as Archen's Expedition Gadget.

"This is Archen! We read you loud and clear!" A voice came back and sent directly to her ears, as if Archen was actually in the room.

The antenna Pokemon turned to face Ampharos and nodded in approval, indicating that she had managed to contact Archen, he breathed a sigh of relief.
