Mio turned around. Sylver was surrounded by a bunch of oddly dressed people.
Probably another jacked-up criminal organization. Mio thought to herself.
As the daughter of Lysandre, the head of Team Flare, she was very familiar with the thought of criminal organizations such as Team Galactic and Team Magma.
Those costumes tho. Mio thought, trying to keep a straight face. They're even worse than Team Galactic's!
"C'mon Luca. We can take them." Mio said.
"Lucario." Luca nodded.

"Now, very passionate children here I see" A girl said, stepping up. "Such beautiful emotions, but alas, we aren't here to fight" The woman explained, her aura flaring with emotions of cheer and happiness. "Aren't emotions and feelings such beautiful things, that's why we're here" The woman told her. "You see, we are a group that worships the being of emotion, Mespirit, but we are currently at war with the other groups, believing that Knowledge and Willpower are more important, but we wish for you to join us" The woman offered, smiling widely.

"Why would we join you?! Your outfits are disgusting. Maybe you should quit that team, and look like normal people for once!" Mio said. Lucario nodded in agreement.
Luca sensed that Mio's aura was flaring with annoyance, and a bit of pity.
"Team Magma and Team Aqua were at war once, but eventually they put aside their differences. Wy couldn't you just do that?" Mio suggested.

"Ah, but you see, that was different, they were terrible people, tearing apart an entire region, we are here to unite the people with their emotions" The woman explained, another person from behind the woman just grumbled. "I thought our outfits looked cool..." The grunt next to them just replied with a whisper. "It's okay, we look awesome, remember, not all emotions can be good, it's important emotions are expressed though, so we can better figure out problems and resolve issues, plus, these aren't the final designs." The grunt next to them just nudged then, shushing them.

"These aren't the uniforms final designs, plus, we're going to have custom options available, you and your Lucario will fit in amazingly well" The woman told her, sending out a Lucario, clearly a very powerful opponent, as well as a Kirlia, who seemed even stronger. "Darling, we're here to help unite the world with emotions, there's no harm in joining us and doing some good" The woman said.

(Just gonna pretend I was here and that they followed you)

"Eh...many joining them wouldn't be TOO bad." Misty said. William smacked her over the head. "Shut up you dolt! They're obviously bad." He scolded. "I know but bad is better hen dead." Misty reasoned. William just groaned.

"Oh, don't misunderstand, we only attack when it's self defense, now cheer up, negative emotions are essential for communication, but positive energy has a nicer feel" The woman said cheerfully. "Now, if you wish, you can join us and help us unite the world with emotions and feelings" She said, holding her arms out happily.

Dusty and Ashley stood at the edge of the road for about ten minutes trying to choose a place to go.
"How does Pastoria City sound?"
" 'Apinch..."
"Well, do you have any better ideas?"
"...Pinch."
"I dunno either... but I guess it doesn't matter much,"

So off they went.

About a day later they arrived.

(UGH PING)

As Ashley approached the town, a group of strange people in blue hats and uniforms was standing in the area, one broke away from the rest and approached Ashley. "Hello there, I was wondering if you would be interested in joining team Willpower, we are an organization who wishes to reconstruct society to prioritize Willpower" The man told her "Every great thing has come from people not quitting their dreams, which essentially means great things come from driven persistence, also called Willpower to restrain from quitting, being perfectly focused on their goals and dreams" The man explained.

Ashley stared at this man as Dusty shied deeper into the backpack. "And you are...?" Ashley asked suspiciously.
