After healing her pokemon, Mio stepped out into the cold air of Snowpoint City.
"It's rather cold here, isn't it?" Mio asked Luca.
"Lu." Luca said, nodding.
Maximus' heat helped them to stay warm, and Argos developed a bad habit of walking under Maximus.
"Camerupt!" Maximus said angrily.
"Mightyena!" Argos said defensively.
"Argos, stop annoying Maximus! He doesn't like you under him!" Mio sighed.
"Crobat!" Rose agreed.

Tonni nodded. He approached the door, putting the picture of the eye up, the scanner recognized it and the door opened, letting the two kids in. They carefully made their way inside. "Hey, have you seen that Quagsire from team willpower anywhere? I can't find it" Toni said to a passing grunt in the hall. The grunt pointed down a hallway "somewhere over there, where all the stolen Pokemon are kept, you probably just missed t" he said, turned back to walking. "You check this room, I'll check the other one" Tonni told her, walking into a room on the left.

"Wait, she's you mom?!" Kai asked, surprised. Sylver nodded through her mom's smothering. "Hello there, Sylver never told me she had a boyfrieeeend" Platinia sai, resting her arms on her daughter's head. Sylver blushed "mom! Gen isn't my boyfriend! We, like, just met!" Sylver said in her defense, Kai nodded in agreement. Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and Platinia turned her attention to the stage. The contestants were announced, Leo was number four, and there was extra loud cheering for him from a certain audience member. After the contest ended, Sylver dragged Kai out while her mother was busy smothering Leo, despite being told she wasn't allowed on the stage.

Ashley nodded and went in. There were some pokemon in cages, and some pokeballs on shelves. They seemed to be sorted by primary type, so she found a Seadra and started looking around there. Eventually, she found several Quagsire. "Now to find the right one..." she sighed. Dusty climbed out, examined the Water/ground types, and clicked his jaws.

Mio shivered in the cold.
Why didn't Dad make me immune to the cold too? she thought.
Luca put his arms around her, warming her up.
"Aw... Thanks Luca." Mio said. They walked out of the city, and into the pine tree forest.

There was a loud commotion in the other room, Team knowledge memebers were dragging Tonni away, he tried his best to escape, almost managing t, but the group was stronger and carries him away. There was a beeping sound in Ashley's bag, as well as the four Pokemon Tonni had. There was words on the screen of the device

Ashley
I never really planned on escaping with you, I knew there were hundreds of them, and they would realize something was off, especially when I asked for help. Let all the Pokemon out of their balls and let them escape, make sure to take the balls with you so they don't get re captured. Honchkrow is there for your escape, tell Konnyr what happened, he can have Azelf save me, I heard their plans of bringing Uxie to mt. Coronet too, the same time as Azelf. Don't try to rescue me, I can get out myself eventually, just run while my distraction is in place.

-Tonni

Ashley stared at the screen for what felt lIke a long, long time. She clicked the device shut, sighed, stood up, freed the pokemon, swept the balls into her bag, and escaped the way she had come.

"Honchcrow," Ashley said, letting the pokemon out of the ball. Honchcrow tilted his head at Ashley, clearly wondering where Tonni was. Ashley just patted the big bird, climbed on, and told him to fly. Dusty just huddled deeper into the bag.

When they were in the air, Ashley noticed something moving. She beckoned Honchcrow to come in for a landing.

Tonni sighed in relief, seeing Ashley and the other Pokemon head for the exit, his plan worked perfectly, his struggling had allowed the perfect distraction, and all his stuff was safe with Ashley, he just hoped she could return his Pokemon to team Willpower before she left for wherever she was going. Tonni was like a little brother to Konnyr, so gen knew Konnyr would have Azelf save him. Tonni sat in his cell, knowing he couldn't be held for long, as he was determined to leave, and determination is what team Willpower was known for. Well, team willpower was actually known for its willpower. But determination still fell in that category.

(All I can imagine is Luca accidentally stabbing Mio with its chest spike while he hugs her to warm her up)

A group of Weaville sat in the trees above, one of them using hail to inflict some damage without anyone noticing. They had noticed Platinia's message and this girl fit the description of the outlaw. The group silently followed in the trees, staying perfectly hidden as they watched, preparing for their attack. One sneasel in their pack went out to tell some of the others about this girl, hoping to defend their land from any dangerous intruders.

"I hate Sinnoh!" Mio growled, kicking at a mound of snow.
