Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

The Not So Warm Reunion

The falling sensation eventually stopped as Ian felt solid ground on his feet once more. He saw Patience in front of him, along with Gadget, Fletchinder and Alakazam. Alakazam had teleporting them on top of a hill just at the outskirts of Serene Village, just along the path that led toward the big tree. The very same path Ian and Nuzleaf walked when he arrived at Serene Village for the first time upon arriving in this world.

Wow, this sure brings back memories. Ian said as he took a moment to enjoy the beautiful scenery that he has not seen in such a long time.

"Feels good to come back to Serene Village after almost being gone for two months. Though it isn't for a good reason..." Patience said, standing next to Ian to enjoy the sight as well.

"Good luck to you all." Alakazam said. "I wish you all the best of luck!" A few seconds later, the psi Pokemon vanished, teleporting back to the Expedition Society to teleport Raikou and Suicune to their respective dungeons.

"So," Gadget said, checking her Expedition Bag and Looplet before continuing on. "where's Revelation Mountain?"

Patience pointed at the many hills and mountain that surround Serene Village the tallest mountain that stood tallest among the others. "There." She said.

Gadget followed the direction of the fire fox's hand and soon noticed the mountain in question, she nodded her head. "Alright, now how do we get there."

"If I recall, we should be able to get there through the gates at the other side of Serene Village." Ian said.

"Wait, then why didn't Alakazam just teleport us there instead of here?" Fletchinder asked.

The three Pokemon simply shrugged in response, unsure as well.

"Either way, lets just get going." Gadget said as she began heading down the path towards Serene Village, The Hydroflames and Fletchinder followed shortly after.

"Hey, I just realized something." Patience whispered to Ian.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we'll see everyone again? Deerling and the others? Mr Nuzleaf? ...Pops? You would think after not seeing us for a few months they would crowd on us to ask how we are."

"I suppose you're right." Ian replied. "While I would love to see them again, we still got a mission. Let's try to move quickly and discretely and hope no one sees us."

The fire fox Pokemon gave a confused look to her partner. "You think it'll be that easy? We stick out like a fire type in a group of water types!"

The mudfish Pokemon shrugged. "Hey, I never said it was easy. Just saying that it's possible."

Patience sighed. "Let's hope you're right."

"Only one way to find out."

Mawile cupped her hands together and placed it over her mouth, exhaling a breath of air to keep her hands warm. She stood over a cliff side that overlooked Frosty Forest, the cliff that laid to Suicune's domain.

What a view...

Although the sun shined brightly over them, just well past noon. The dense, white forest remained an almost barren land, the ice not giving in to the warmth of the sun and melting. The land below almost seemed like a mirror, reflecting light of the ground and giving it a magnificent glowed, further enhancing its tragic beauty.

Such a shame, this was once a beautiful lush forest, until the endless winter came... Mawile shook her head. The deceiver Pokemon had once read about the history of Frosty Forest and its neighboring mountain, Mt Freeze. About a thousand years ago, Frosty Forest was the largest forest in terms of land in the world. Many Pokemon lived there and it was a thriving community, with many Pokemon from all over the world visiting the forest for its fresh water and the large berries grown here due to its perfect ecosystem. The forest had a name: The Forest of Life. The nearby mountain, Mt Rebirth was an even bigger attraction than the forest. Legends passed down from ancestors to decedents say that the mountain held mysterious powers deep inside, a chamber of steel, filled with a liquid of bright green said to be able to revive anyone who have passed on.
