"Wait up! Do you even know were you're going?" Abyss asked as he ran after Hunter.

"Ahh... No clue." Hunter said as he slowed down to look around.

"Btzz. Are you two looking for the bulletin board? It's right over there. Btzz." Magnemite said, pointing with one of its magnets as it flew next to Hunter.

"Thank you." Abyss said as he ran towards the bulletin board. "Let's see what we have here."

"There doesn't seem to be many bounties out." Hunter said, letting out a sigh.

"We don't need to do those all the time. Why don't we do this one?" Star asked, pecking at one. It read:

Please help my friend Wurmple; she's trapped.

My friend is trapped by some rogue Pokémon, and they're taking her hostage on Floor 4.

-Swirlix

Location: Forest of Winds

"It seems like a good start." Abyss said as he levitated the note off. "Now, who do we speak to?"

"That would be me." A voice came out from the open window.

"Watchhog, you're in charge of this now?" Hunter asked as they walked up to the window.

"Yes. What? I can get a new job. Anyway, let me mark where the mission is for you." Watchhog said as he took the Connection Tablet. "Done." he said, handing it back.

"Ok then, let's see where it is." Hunter said as he booted the tablet up. "It seems to be the same dungeon we were in last time."

"That's convenient." Star said, looking at the map.

"Ok then, let's get some supplies ready then." Abyss said as he walk towards the market area.

As they walked, they saw a lot of Pokemon talking with the ponies of the town. "Wow, that's fast. You guys were only here for a day." Abyss commented.

"A lot of Pokemon are really friendly. Sometimes too friendly." Hunter said as he walked beside Abyss.

"What do you mean?" Star asked as she flew next to them.

"Well, a lot of rogue Pokemon take advantage of these friendly Pokemon, and then they take what they want."

"Well, well, well. Look Sis, it's Hunter." a Kecleon said to his sister, a pink Kecleon.

"Why it is. Where's the lovely Melody?" the pink Kecleon asked.

"Ahh... She's someplace else at the moment." Hunter answered.

"Aww, that's too bad. Anything you need then?" Kecleon said.

F1 of Forest of Winds

"Let's see. How far up do we need to go?" Abyss said, looking at the sheet of paper.

"Last time we were here, it went up to Floor 5." Star said, looking around for any Pokémon.

"It says he was last seen on Floor 4." Abyssal said as he put away the paper.

"Let's go." Hunter said, running down a corridor.

"Wait, let's stick to- And he's gone." Abyss said, letting out a sigh.

"We should go after him." Star said, flying down the corridor.

F2 Forest of Winds

"What took you guys so long?" Hunter said as he stood next to the stairs.

"Some...of us...are not...as fast...as you." Abyss said between breaths.

"Why were you waiting here? You could've gone ahead." Star pointed out.

"What, and leave my team? No way."

"Can we take a break?" Abyss said, sitting down.

"Sure, I guess. Here; have an Oran berry." Hunter said as he took a light blue berry out of his bag.

"You were right. The layout is different; that's for sure." Abyss said, taking a bite of the berry.

"Yep. It's a mystery to any Pokémon." Star said

"Odd oddish." An Oddish came out from a corridor and shot some leaves at Hunter.

"Break's over. Wild Charge!" Hunter said, running up to the Oddish in a field of electricity and hitting it.

"Let's keep going." Hunter said, looking down the corridor.

"Just don't run off like last time." Abyss said, getting up.

"Fine." Hunter said.

F3 of Forest of Winds

"Wé're almost there." Hunter said, looking around. "What's this?" he asked, picking up a coin.

"That looks like a bit." Abyss said, taking the the coin in his magic.

"You mean we can find your world's money in here." Star asked.

"I guess so. Did it work that way back in your world?" Abyss asked, putting the bit in his pocket.

"Yes... but you don't find that much in a dungeon. Maybe about 100 poké, and that's not a lot." Hunter said, looking around to see if any danger was coming.

"I see.. Let's keep going." Abyss said, heading into the next room.

F4 of Forest of Winds

"Now, what Pokémon are we supposed to find?" Abyss said, looking at the tablet.

"Help!" A cry came from the next room.

"It's this way!" Hunter said, running towards the cry.

"Wait up!" Abyss said, running after him.

In the next room, two Spearows surrounded a Shiny Wurmple. "Look how tasty this Wurmple looks..." One of the Spearows said as it licked its beak.

"Remember, we need to bring this to the boss to see, Jeff." the other Speraow said, hitting Jeff on the head with a wing.

"Ok.. But we have to stop and find something to eat then, Randy." Jeff said, walking up to the Wurmple.

There was a crackling noise. "Do you hear that?" Randy said, stopping Jeff from taking the Wurmple.

"Leave that poor Wurmple alone!" Hunter yelled as he used Wild Charge on Jeff, sending him flying into a tree.

"Man, that hurts." Hunter said, falling over in exhaustion due to the Wild Charge taking a lot out of him.

"You need to calm down a... Is that a purple bug?" Abyss said looking at the Wurmple.

"It's not technically a bug, it's more of a caterpillar... But it's not supposed to be purple. That's what mama said anyway." Star said as she flew to Hunter to see if he was okay.

"Well, this Wurmple is coming with me. You must be one of those ponies I've been hearing of." Randy said, looking at Abyss.

"Yes, I am. So step away from that b- er, caterpillar." Abyss said as his horn sparked to life with a gold-yellow glow.

"Have to catch me first." Randy said as he flew around the room.

"Stay still." Abyss said angrily as he fired some magic bolts at Randy, missing every time.

"Take this. Gust!" Randy flapped his wings fast, sending a strong gust of wind at Abyss and knocking him back a bit.

"Arrg... That's it." Abyss said, charging his horn up. He shot a blast of energy that looked like the night sky, and it knocked Randy out of the sky.

"I got you. Now, give up." Abyss said, standing over Randy threateningly.

"Fine, you win. Our boss is not going to like this." Randy said as he flew away.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Jeff said, flying after him.

"Wow, that took a lot out of me." Abyss said as he kneeled down.

"Wow. You used Moonblast last." the Wurmple said from next to Abyss.

"Ahh... What?"

"It's a move many fairy-type Pokémon can learn." Hunter said, getting up groggily from his small nap.

"So... I used a move from your world?" Abyss asked, getting a nod from Hunter. "That's weird."

"Let's get out of here before anything weird happens." Star suggested.

"Right, gather around." Hunter said, taking out his badge.

In Front of the Request Board

"Thank you for finding my friend. Here; have this." Swirlix said, handing them a a bag of bits and a CD that read TM 30.

"Thanks... What is this?" Abyss asked, taking the CD in his magic.

"It's a TM, it teachs a move to a Pokémon." Star said, looking at the TM.

"Maybe you can learn it, Abyss. Since you did use a Pokémon move back there." Hunter said.

"I don't know... How does it work?"

"I have no idea. Never used one." Hunter said with a smile.

"Maybe someone from another team can help you. There's a Spinda Café that just opened up when you were gone." Watchhog said, walking out from behind the counter.

"I guess that's the next stop then." Star said, looking around. "Where is it?"
