The Remaining Treasures' Location

Tch... Looks like that got 'em to settle down a little.

Pokémon of ruin, huh...

Just one would have been tough, let alone two at once.

Yeah. They dealt us some heavy blows!

Lear and the others were looking for these ruinous Pokémon, right?

Let's call him and let him know we have them in our custody!

I shall leave that to you.

C'mon, bro! Aren't you gonna make this Pokémon your partner?

A new companion...for Leader Maxie... ♪

Maxie... You've already made up your mind, haven't you.

Yes. If this encounter was inevitable, I suppose I must accept it.

Heh. Guess this WAS a pretty strange time to meet such unusual Pokémon.

Even though they cooled down a bit, it looks like they're not done rampaging.

I suspect they aren't completely quelled.

We must keep their power in check.

Indeed! If we keep these two together, they might keep provoking each other.

Let us have Team Magma and Team Aqua look after one each.

Don't mess this up, Maxie!

Same to you, Archie.

Later on...

Maybe it'll open up to you with some strength trainin', bro!

Breaking a sweat to understand each other, huh. Not a bad idea!

I don't think brute force will fix all your problems.

Sure is a party over here!

Whoa! It's really Wo-Chien...

Huhn?! What's this?! Who're you?!

Ms. Raifort asked us to see how things were going!

She's busy, so we're here instead.

Listen, I appreciate it, but I wanted an expert's opinion on dealing with Wo-Chien.

Hey, no sweat!

Florian's super studious, so he knows a ton about all sorts of Pokémon!

Really? Well, that's reassuring!

What an outstanding little brat.

Let's get to it, I've been itchin' to ask this.

I still can't figure out how to control this guy's enormous strength.

What should I do to keep its power and emotions under control?

Hmm...

Although people call it ruinous, it's still a Pokémon at its core.

If you deepen your bond with it, I'm sure you could rein in its power.

Oh, that's it! The Midnight Parade!

The Midnight Parade is happening now. What if you participated?

The Midnight Parade, you say?

From my experience, events where you and your Pokémon work together are great for growing closer!

You could even have your outfit match Wo-Chien, like people on Pasio do with sygna suits!

Intriguing! You should try it!

Well, I don't LOVE the idea, but it IS to help a Pokémon.

I s'pose I've got no choice!

So it's true, Team Aqua's leader really does love Pokémon.

Heh heh! Guess I gotta help out too!

I put my all into making some candy. Dole out as much as you like!

Thanks. I owe ya one!

All right! Let's roll, Wo-Chien!

Your enthusiasm is admirable, but who exactly will we be passing this out to?

Your face looks so...tense. Kids won't approach you like that.

Have you thought about smiling?

Oh... Right!

Clumping up like this probably isn't great either.

I'll look after Matt. You handle the rest.

That might be easier said than done.

I'm sure that's not true. You'll be fine!

Y-you really think so?

Hm?

U-um... That looks like a grass Pokémon, but, um...

Eek!

What's the deal with you two?

Gardenia's interested in your Pokémon, but she's afraid it might be a ghost Pokémon. She's super scared of those!

Hey, I'm not THAT scared...

Bwahahahaha! I see! Well, no need to worry!

Wo-Chien isn't a ghost Pokémon.

Ohhh! I...I see!

It's just that you were making a scary face, Archie, so I thought your Pokémon must be scary too!

You're kidding! No way I looked THAT mean!

People shying away 'cause you seem scary... Past me can relate.

Tch... C'mon, I'm doing my best here!

But thanks. You helped me loosen up a little!

Y'know, this Midnight Parade is actually pretty fun.

Over there! That's him!

Hm? You li'l scamps talkin' to me?

It's you, right? The funny outfit man!

You're the one giving out that SUUUPER yummy candy!

Looks like it's a hit.

Heheh... Super yummy, huh.

Hey, battle us too! Fight or fright!

Can't say no to a battle, can I?

Let's go, lads!

Hey, Wo-Chien... Florian told me about you.

Sounds like you were born from a grudge that covered itself in dead leaves, huh?

Grudges are a pain in the neck. They're tough to get rid of.

That's how it was for me.

I resented the world for mistreating Pokémon and stealing their freedom.

But you know what, Wo-Chien?

The world is full of warm 'n' fuzzy feelings, too.

Didn't you see that today?

The more time I spent in that warmth, the more I could let go of my grudges.

So...I hope you can see the world as worthwhile, too.

Heh heh. I'm counting on you, partner!

Maxie... You better not be messin' things up!
