Diplomatic Tensions

"First of all, I would like to thank you two for coming here on such short notice." Ampharos said.
"To be fair, we've been here for about 4 days now." Keldeo said, annoyed.
Ampharos laughed nervously, feeling bad for leaving for such a long time.
"I apologize for that." He said. "For I had other matters to attend to.
"That's alright." Virizion assured. "We really enjoyed our time looking around Lively Town."
"That's because you're not the one getting supplies for the journey home..." Keldeo mumbled.
"Either way, we have urgent matters to discuss. Please, follow me."
Ampharos lead the two Musketeer Pokemon up a flight of stairs and into a room with a table, behind it on the wall was the Expedition Society emblem: A circle within a circle with wings. Verizion thought it wasn't the most creative, but then again, HAPPI didn't even have an official emblem.
Ampharos closed the door and ushered the two Pokemon to sit down. The lighthouse Pokemon took out a piece of paper and placed it on the desk.
"I'm sure you know what this is." He said.
Virizion inspected it and noticed that it was a drawing, a drawing she was far too familiar with, the two Pokemon that made the turning into stone incidents a major problem.
"Team Orion." She replied.
"It was one heck of a surprise." Keldeo said. "The Grass Continent's finest, turned into stone like it was nothing."
"Any leads on the culprit?" Virizion asked.
"A few Pokemon had been detained, but all of them weren't who we're looking for."
"Damn..."
Ampharos could hear the pain in Virizion's voice. He had read the reports, the Ragged Mountains Massacre. An entire dungeon, all of its inhabitants, turned to stone overnight. It was the reason he had called HAPPI, he had reason to believe the culprit is somewhere on the Water Continent. All he had to do was request for some help in catching the criminal, catch the criminal, bring him to justice and be done before summer was over.
"Mutual gain", as he liked to call it.
"You said you were investigating this as well?" Keldeo asked.
"Yes, I believe the culprit is someone in this continent."
"WHAT?!" Keldeo and Virizion exclaimed.
"One of my... associates, believes that the culprit behind these turning to stone incidents is residing here."
"Do we know where?"
"No, I investigated the area where my associate suspected, but it proved fruitless."
"That's unfortunate." Virizion said.
Just then, Ampharos Expedition Gadget rang, much to his surprise. He took it out and answered it.
"Yes? Yes, this is Ampharos speaking. What? When?! Alright, I'll be there as soon as possible." Ampharos hung up the gadget. Slamming his hand on the table.
"What's going on?" Keldeo asked.
"It was the Rescue Team Federation of the Air Continent." He said. "The inhabitants of Pokemon Square have been turned into stone."
----Patience jolted out from her bed, sweat dripping of her face, her heart beating really fast, her whole body shaking.
Again, she was having that dream again.
Patience's head was spinning, she couldn't think straight. She went over to the other side of the room and took a sip of water from a basin.
Much better.
She took a deep breath, and exhaled. It was third time she was suffering from some kind of nightmare. She honestly didn't really know, she could never remember the details of the as soon as she woke up, but it always left her agitated.
Great, just great.
She looked out her window and saw the moon, illuminating the night sky above, it was a really pretty sight.
She looked down at her twig necklace at held it close to her. It seemed to be a habit now, she would always hold on to the necklace whenever she felt insecure or nervous.
Maybe it's because it reminds me of Ian. Like a part of him is always by my side, always there to comfort me.
She shook those thoughts out of her head, and decided to go back to sleep.
Tomorrow's going to be another great day.
