“Already so much time has gone by… I feel like we haven’t helped very much yet” Chloe said with disappointment. They day was approaching noon, and some of the members between the two teams didn’t quite feel like they were doing as much as they should have.

“There’s still plenty of time in the day!” Myra said, trying to encourage her. “We’ll find something, I’m sure of it!”

“Yes, I know…” Chloe began.

“Hearth… how are you feeling?” Anther asked, leaning down towards his own partner. “You’ve been doing a lot of walking today. We can slow down if you want, or even take a break.”
“I swear, if I hear you blabbing on about this one more time I will literally roast you,” Hearth snapped. “You know the answer already. I’ve told you this the other times you asked. It’s the same as before, nothing has changed.”

“Ah… right…” Anther said, backing off in regret as he abandoned the conversation.

“Those two have been like this all day,” Myra whispered to Chloe. “They’re such a cool team, why are they fighting like this?”

“I don’t know,” Chloe answered, a worried look on her face. “But it’s best we don’t get involved. It’s none of our business, and I think things will settle on its own if we give it some space.”
“I just wish I could do something…” Myra said. “If only just to – eep!”

Myra was cut off when she nearly bumped into a Zangoose that had appeared out of nowhere. Myra fell backwards, while the Zangoose swiftly hopped out of the way. While everyone was still grasping the situation, the Zangoose scanned over all of them quickly.

“Oh, I remember you guys,” he said. “You all helped in the battle against Sorbet. I’m looking for mons to help me with some planting and stuff.”

“Oh, you’re Dmitri aren’t you?” Chloe asked.

“Yeah,” he said, already heading off in the opposite direction. It seemed like he had no interest in chatting for a minute. “Come on.”

***

“I brought some help!” Dmitri stated once they had reached their destination. Another group of Pokemon was working here, this time, though, a good distance away from the pathway, and close to the part of the forest that had taken the worst of the storm. Dmitri walked directly up to one of the Pokemon there in particular. Chloe and Myra were surprised once they realized it was Gunpowder.

They hadn’t seen Gunpowder much after the fight with Sorbet. Before that, they had both been purposely avoiding him. They had been afraid that Gunpowder might be holding a grudge to the teams who tried to arrest him during that one mission.

Maybe that had been true, but since they had ended up working together against Sorbet, Chloe and Myra didn’t feel as tense around him anymore.

“Aye! Good work lad!” Gunpowder said in his usual gruff voice. He turned to face the newcomers. His expression of relief changed quickly to one of shock, then irritation. “Lad… don’t tell me these be the mons you got to help us…”

“Yeah!” Dmitri answered. He seemed unaware that this wasn’t what Gunpowder had in mind.

“Oh this looks promising…” Hearth whispered to the others, who all exchanged worried looks.

“Were ye even thinking when ye decided to bring them here!” he exclaimed. “We need mons to help us with planting seeds’n’sapplin’s now! That be meanin we need Pokemon with hands! Do any of these mons look like they can do that?”

“You told me to look for Pokemon. You didn’t say anything about hands,” Dmitri protested.

Gunpowder took a great sigh. “Well, they be here now. Might as well make use of em.

“We… We’ll try to be as much of help as we can!” Chloe said rather nervously, looking at Gunpowder straight into the eyes. He stared back at her, but if he still was mad about that deal of stealing his treasure, Chloe saw no sign of it. Instead, Gunpowder just grunted and made a small nod.
