An Unexpected Collaboration

Heyyy, look who just showed up at the right place at the right time.

Uh... Scottie, was it?

Hey, Sawyer... How 'bout we get these guys to help us out?

The young master gave us a specific job to do, Rachel.

Duhhh. I know. But don't you think Master Lear will be wayyy happier if we can get the job done even faster?

Hmmm...

Heh heh, I think I'll take that curiosity as a sign that you'd be willing to help us sniff out those Team Break goons...

Is today my lucky day? Yeah! You can help us sniff out those Team Break goons. You've gotta be pretty fed up with them, too, right?

R-Rachel!

Oh, hush. It's fiiine! Let's just get this over with. Come on, Scottie. Let's gooo!

Hey, you're not gonna believe it! I saw a sync pair being attacked by Team Break!

And get this: Lear helped the Trainers!

Wait, whaaat?! Lear, as in Prince Lear? And you're saying that he actually helped somebody?

Yeah, I was as surprised as you are. Maybe he's a better guy than we thought.

I'm having a hard time imagining a nice Lear...

Well, it is true he has a major attitude problem. If he fixes that, he might turn out to be a good tournament host.

Blasted Team Break thugs...wreaking havoc everywhere you go while the young master's trying to run a tournament!

I knew there'd be more of them slinking around... And look, here they are. Surprise, surprise.

Whoa! Check this guy out... Hey, muscle man! You and your pretty girlfriend over there need to scram! This is our turf!

Who do you think you're talking to? Master Lear handpicked the two of us to crack down on troublemaking misfits like you!

Yo! You guys take care o' the big guy and the girl! Leave this bunch o' losers to me.

Arrgh! We gotta scram for now, boys! Let's go!

Ugh, fiiinally. I thought that would never end. Come on. Let's hurry up and report back to Master Lear.

Not yet. We need to continue making our rounds. Team Break have probably scattered all over this island.

Did you hear that, Scottie? Sounds like we need your help for a li'l bit longer...

Shhh! Don't scream! I promise, I don't bite!

Rachel fan? Me? Nah, I couldn't care less about her.

Sawyer's the one I gel with, man. Now here! Take this and leave me alone!

Ahhh, he's so ripped! Body-building goals, dude...

Ahhh! He's too cool!

Ahhh, he's so ripped! Body-building goals, dude...

Ahhh! He's too cool!

Lear? Of course I know him!

He's supposedly the prince of some country, huh.

If he's got the kind of power that would allow him to build an entire island like this, he's got to be incredibly rich!

Lear pwetends to be mean, but he's actually a weally wespectable puyson.

He's talented, and always twied his hahdest to become the pwince he is today!

I huyd a lady with puyple haiyuh saying that!

Not too shabby, Scottie! Let's keep up the pace!

Heh, Rachel's right. It's obvious you kids have grown a lot as Trainers since the last time we saw you.

But the young master's putting in just as much effort, if not more. He's made sure the volcanoes and glaciers all look as realistic as possible...

all so that the Trainers who come to Pasio can experience Pokémon battles in a load of different environments.

Sooo true. Master Lear's not just a genius, he's a hard worker, too.

Not too shabby, Scottie! Let's keep up the pace!

Pardon me. You there!

I'll make you head over heels for me just like everybody else!

I see you thought it over.

I'll make you head over heels for me just like everybody else!

Ooh, I like you. You'll fit right in with my other followers!

No, wait! Don't run away! I know I seem suspicious, but I swear I'm not a bad person!

I thought I could show off to all my followers!

It doesn't matter if you lose! This weak and vulnerable side of you is just as lovely!

Please...just leave me alone...

Phew... Looks like we cleared out all the Team Break stragglers in this area.

Hmm... Think we did good enough to squeeze a compliment out of Master Lear for once?

Rachel...the young master highly values the work that you do. You know that.

I knowww, but he never says it to my face... I'm just saying, a li'l compliment here and there would be nice.

Well, he's got a lot on his shoulders for someone so young. Running the PML is no small feat.

Yeahhh, Master Lear does seem pretty passionate about it. He says he's gonna create a whole new way to battle, starting here on Pasio.

That's right. Right now, what the young master wants most is to see his tournament go off without a hitch.

That's why we're out here keeping order. We can't afford to let Team Break ruin Pasio's reputation.

Yeahhh. We do it because we love him, huh, Sawyer.

L-love the, ! The young master is someone I respect. He's my prince!

Saaame thing.... Anyways, thanks a bunch for helping us out, Scottie.

Much appreciated, Scottie.

However...the young master IS going to win the PML. Both of us support him wholeheartedly in that, all right?

Well, maaaybe we could root for you a li'l bit, too. Juuust a li'l bit.

See you around.

These other Team Break thugs look stronger than the last ones. Don't let your guard down, Scottie.

[EN:Gen Ref="255" M="He" F="She" ]'ll be fiiine. Even Master Lear has his eye on [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="him" F="her" ] lately. Right, Scottie? This'll be, like, a piece of cake for you.

I mean, if we're being toootally honest here, the two of us are lookin' forward to seeing what you can do, too.

Leave it at that, Rachel. We just happen to share an enemy with Scottie right now... That's all.

I know, I knooow... Only be nice if it benefits Master Lear...
