It was a beautiful day in Alola. Everyone was up and at 'em, trying to enjoy as much as they could of the weekend. Surprisingly, even Team Rocket was taking advantage of the Alolan sun. They had a whole set-up on the beach, in the most secluded area as to not have any disturbances. Of course, they had to wear their disguises so they wouldn't get caught.

"Aaahh," James sighed and reclined in his beach chair. "Feels good to unwind for once, even if it's pretty relaxing in Bewear's cave."

"Our work for the boss is important," Jessie started and munched on a malasada, "but making sure we take time off is just as important. Can't be all tired when we manage to catch Pikachu."

"Don't forget about that laser-faced-metal-head," Meowth pointed out.

"Wobbu wobbu," Wobbufet said and handed Jessie a plate with a cup of iced tea.

"Why thank you, Wobbufet," she said and sipped the drink.

"Pancham pan!"

"Eh?" Meowth opened one eye and so did the others. A bit further down the beach, a Pancham and Sylveon were playing catch with a beach ball.

"What are they doing?" James asked.

"Duh, playing," Meowth said and closed his eyes again.

"And ruining my relaxation!" Jessie growled.

"Jessie, cool your jets," James warned. "You don't want to attract unnecessary attention, that's usually when Bewear shows up."

"I KNOW THAT!" she hissed. Jessie groaned and crossed her arms before leaning back in her chair.

After a few seconds, James opened his eyes again to look at the Pokémon playing. "Say, is it me, or do those two look familiar?"

"Who? Those Pokémon?" Meowth stood up and squinted at the Pokémon playing in the sand. "Huh, now that you mention it, I'm getting a bit of déjà vu looking at them." Meowth examined them more closely. The Pancham was wearing sunglasses, but that was it.

"Now that you mention it, they do seem familiar." Jessie frowned at the Sylveon. They both seemed innocent enough. The Pancham used Arm Thrust on the ball to make it go farther. Sylveon ran up to catch the ball before propelling it back with Fairy Wind.

"Wobbu Wobbu," Wobbufet confirmed.

"Braixen-brai!" A Braixen suddenly appeared next to the two and joined in the game. It used it's twig to hit the ball like a baseball bat while the others kept chasing after it.

"Not another one," Jessie groaned and tried to block them out.

"Now I'm getting even more déjà vu!" Meowth exclaimed.

"Hang on, could it be!?" James asked, catching everyone's attention.

Meowth's eyes shot open when he recognized their voices. "EH!? Are they--"

"Pancham! Braixen! Sylveon! I have your Poképuffs!" Meowth was interrupted by a young girl calling the trio of Pokémon. The Sylveon wrapped its ribbons around the ball and they all ran to the girl. The girl had blonde hair that went down to her shoulders. She wore a light-yellow T-shirt and jean shorts. Her outfit was complete with a red cap on her head and a small blue ribbon tied onto her shirt. She began to hand out different colored Poképuffs to each Pokémon.

James jumped up so fast his hat and sunglasses fell off. "NO WAY! IS THAT--"

"THE KALOS TWERPETTE!?" Meowth joined and both of them began to flail their arms in panic.

"No! No! NO!" Jessie whined and stomped her foot. "We already have enough of those Twerps at the Pokémon school and the original Twerps!"

"WOBBU WOBBUFET!" Wobbufet saluted, but a sweatdrop appeared on its forehead.
