Royce
*Lilligent as have the time of her life looking at all the flowers. Mari smiled at her as her other pokemon did there own thing*
James
Ash was exploring the Mansion, he was amazed at how big it was, he had Pikachu and the egg that Mari gifted him with him. He ended up finding himself in the Garden. "Wow, it's so beautiful!" He spotted Mari, "Hey Mari!" He walked over to her, "Hey, thanks for the egg!"
Royce
"Oh! Hey Ash! Of course, Cinccino pretty good at finding stuff! I wonder whats in it?" *Mari said as she pet Cinccino*
James
He examined it, "I'm not sure... It seems pretty small... Where'd you find this?" He sat down and released Wooloo, and Pikachu and Wooloo ran to go play.
Royce
"It was in a bush. It was just laying there." *Mari said. Milotic was in a mini lake with Aurorus curious how she was able to fit in it*
James
"Ah, I see." He set the egg down on his lap, "So, what have you been up to?"
Royce
"Nothing much. Mostly pampering my pokemon and things like that." *Mari said as she continued to pet Cinccino.*
Amelia
*Crystal runs into the garden, out of breath* "G-guys! Monika just said she was joining team rocket then a lucario took Monika and this other person and ran off!!!!" *Crystal was worried, and needed to get the news out, so that maybe she could at least TALK to monika*
James
He turned around and saw Crystal, she was talking so fast he processed something about Monika... A Lucario... And joining Team Rocket.. "What!?" Him and Monika were good friends, and he was worried about her. "Why would she do that!?"
Amelia
"I.. I dunno!!!!! I tried chasing the lucario with my kyurem but this persian appeared and knocked out kyurem!!!" *Crystal was freaked out, thats for sure* "T-thats all i know!!"
Martha
Atlas was just wandering through the mansion to try and organize his thoughts, eventually he walked into the outback garden, it seemed some people where there as well one of them seemed to be in panick so he aproached the group
Royce
"Whats team Rocket?" *Mari was very confused. All her pokemon were confused*
James
"They're really bad guys who steal other people's Pokemon, and they've been trying to get their hands on Pikachu for years!" (and yet he's still 10) He got a chill down his spine, "Why would Monika want to join forces with those people?" He held his head, trying to think.
Royce
"Oh..." *Mari said holding her Cinccino protectively. Lilligent was panicking in the background and Meowstic was trying to calm her down*
Amelia
"Ash... They d-do more than just s-steal pokemon... You should know that by now.. A-anyways!! I last saw monika in the forest!!" *Darcy was worried. Crystal hated Mason more than ever now..*
Martha
Atlas shook his head "Thats not the problem right now, we need to get her back asap" He was worried "Someone please try and inform Leon about this, I'm going after them" Atlas said before sprinting off towards the forest
Amelia
"N-no wait!" *Crystal ran after Atlas, her pokemon healed with ~~drugs~~ items* "Y-you can't do this alone!!"
Royce
*Mari didn't really know how to react. Something like this has never happened to her so she was pretty scared. Auroras was just confused about everything*
James
He patted her back. "Hey, it's alright! Do you need any help with anything? Because I'm here to help anyway I can!" He looked at her with a confident look on his face.
Royce
"I-I'm just scared. I don't wanna lose my pokemon." *Mari said holding her Cinccino. Ninetails tried to comfort her as well*
James
"Don't worry! I'll make sure nothing happens to them! You have my word!" He smiled at her, Pikachu was also comforting the Pokemon.
Royce
"Ok." *Mari said starting to calm down. Lilligent was really the only one panicking. Auroras was mostly curious about Pikachu because his never seen one*
James
He took his hand off her back and looked up, "So... Any idea why Monika would do that?" Pikachu jumped on Mari's lap and rubbed against her, wanting pets.
Royce
"I don't know." *Mari said as she started to pet Pikachu. Auroras looked at Ash confused and curious.*

*Auroras took Ashs hat wanting to know what it is*
James
He didn't mind when Mari took his hat, but Ash had some hat hair so he licked his hand and ran it through his hair to try and fix it. Pikachu made a sound of content as he was being pet.
Royce
*Mari smile as she continued to pet Pikachu. Auroras sat down and place the hat on ground as he looked around it to see what it is.*
James
He stroked the egg and made sure it was still warm. He picked up the hat and put it on his head.
Royce
*Mari was still very continued for the safety of the pokemon. Thankfully Meowstic was able to calm Lilligent down*
James
"It's doing great! I think it might be close to hatching!" He gave it to Mari so she could look at it.
Royce
"Really?" *Mari said holding it. Cinccino looked at it before hugging the egg.*
James
He yawned and laid down on the grass. "Yep... Very close.." He looked up at the stars and got lost in thought.
Royce
*Mari eyes sparkled* "Whoa. I can't wait to see whats in it." *Mari smiled as hugged the egg too*
James
"Yeah, me too!" His mind was racing with all the possibilities of what could be in the egg. "Maybe it's another Wooloo!" He chuckled to himself, still looking up at the stars.
Royce
"That would be funny." *Mari giggled. She gave the egg to Ninetails. Ninetails smiled and help keep the egg nice and warm*
Billy
Pikachu jumped on Ash's lap and looked up with him, there weren't any clouds in the sky, so they could see everything perfectly.
Royce
"Wow, its really pretty here." *Mari smiled. Milotic took the time to water the flowers and Lilligent.*
James
He nodded, "Yeah, me and my friends from Kalos loved doing this!" He smiled just thinking about them, he missed them, but he knew that they were doing well.
Royce
"Oh, I've never been to Kalos, how is it?" *Mari said extremely interested. Cinccino dug under ground.*
James
"It's so cool! And the people you can meet there are great!" He couldn't really give a straight answer, and Pikachu was starting to drift off to sleep.
Royce
"Are you tired again?" *Mari ask. Cinccino came back up with a rock. This wasn't what Meowstic was sensing so she ask Cinccino to dug again*
James
"Eh? Nah!" He sat up and looked at her. "I'm alright! Don't worry!" He looked over at Meowstic and Cinccino, "Hey, what are you guys doing?"
Royce
*Cinccino came up with a slightly different rock. Meowstic sent Cinccino back down who was hating ever second of this* "Ummm I have no idea."
James
He scooted over to where Cinccino was digging, "What are you looking for? Do you need help?" Pikachu looked down the hole, curious on what they were doing.
Royce
*Cinccino started to come back up but this with a hurt Carbink. This is what Meowstic was sensing as she help Cinccino try and get Carbink above ground*
James
"Oh!" He reached out for the Carbink and observed the injuries. He turned to Mari, "Do you have any Potions?"
Royce
"Ya!" *Mari said as she started to go through her bag. She eventually found a potion and tossed it over to Ash*
James
He caught it and calmed down the Carbink, "This'll sting a little, but I promise you'll feel better." He sprayed it on Carbink and it let out a little squeal.
Royce
*Carbink didn't like it. Lilligent tried to help as well. Meowstic sensed something making her ears twitch*
James
He moved his eyes towards Meowstic, "What's up... Or... Down?" He looked down into the hole, seeing if there was anything else in there, still holding onto Carbink.
Royce
*An Excadrill came out the hole. This scared Carbink... And Lilligent.* "Uh oh..
James
The Excadrill hit Ash right in the face since his head was directly over the hole and he flung backwards and landed on his back, still holding Carbink delicately. "Ow.." He looked at Carbink, "Are you alright..?"
Royce
*The Carbink was scared senseless. The Excadrill attackef Cinccino who got hit.* "Cinccino!"

*You can say Mari was... Less then happy*
James
Pikachu, use Iron Tail! Pikachu jumped in the air and hit Excadril right in the head with Iron Tail, scaring it and making it go back underground again.
Royce
*Mari now was in, what the other Nightshade elite four liked to call, battle mode. Meowstic gave Ash a look that said 'You better run boy.' because she knew EXACTLY where this would go*
James
He did as was told and, didn't run, but he walked towards the Mansion, with Carbink still in his hands, just incase, he sped up his walk speed slightly.
