Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving and reading this chapter! <3

"Phew-ee... I'm pretty thoroughly lot now! Having such a terrible sense of direction is indeed a burden. Yes, undeniably. But... I'm quite sure that must be Serene Village over that way. I guess I'm here at last. My, my, my... I wonder what will come of it? Ooh, it's a chilling prospect! Well...I guess there's no time like the present."

*Yawn* Pikachu woke up and walk to the other side of the room.
"Good morning, Pikachu! I was wonderin' about this last night...where'd that there scarf come from? I reckon it looks mighty fine on you! Might need to get one myself, I reckon!"
"Hehehe...." Pikachu chuckle and scratch her head.
She left and was ready to go to school.
"Pikachu, Good morning!" Cupcake shout and wave her pawn to get Pikachu attention.
"Come on, let's walk together!"
They both walk there way to school. But they notice something happening at the plaza.
"Huh? What's that?" Question Cupcake.
"Let's go check it out." Said Pikachu.
They got closer and notice a yellow Pokémon was bumping everything.
"A-are you okay?" Ask Pikachu.
"Absolutely wonderful. No worried. Happens all the time. I've got the worst sense of direction...especially in new places... And so I just wander about, bumping from place to place. It's quite the hassle!
Do you children live in this village?" He ask.
"Yeah, I'm Cupcake. And this is Pikachu."
"Hi!" Said Pikachu waving her hand.
"So why are you Ampharos?" Question Cupcake.
"Indeed! How precious you both are. But, silly me, I've not yet intro-" Ampharos pause of realization.
"Say how do you know my name village children?" Question Apmharos.
"Yeah, Cupcake? How do you know his name?" Ask Pikachu.
"His the Dashing Wanderer! Plus his the Expedition Society's chief from Lively Town. Are you here to see Markus, Ampharos?"
"Will, yeah! Do you know where he is?" Ask Ampharos.
"His at home, but if his not there he most be doing his Expedition work.
"Thank you! I hope you'll take care to remember me. And now I'm off again." Ampharos walk away and bump into everyone again. He drop something on the ground not noticing as he left.
"Huh? He dropped something... I wonder what this is..." Question Pikachu. She look at it and started to question what it is.
"It looks like some kind crystal ball." Though Pikachu. They both look for him but his already gone.
"Huh? He's already out of sight. I guess he wandered off with out even noticing that he'd dropped it. I'd sure like to return it to him, but we've got to get on our way to school. Well, I guess we'll just have to wait until classes end for the day. Then we can go search for Ampharos to return his Connection Orb. Guess I'll hold on to it until then!" Cupcake pick up the crystal ball knowing what it is.
"Hey, Hippopotas?"
"Hm? Vat is it?" Question Hippopatas.
"You may have seen a Pokémon called Ampharos around here a little while ago... Well, he dropped something of his, and now I've got it. If you see him, could you tell him that?" Ask Cupcake.
"Mm-hmm sure. If he happens to come by zis way, I vill pass zat along."
"Thanks, Hippopotas! Then I guess it's time we get to school!"
Pikachu nod and walk there way to school till Cupcake realized something.

"Um...Pikachu? You know, I kinda remember, but... when you think about it, we ditched class yesterday and ran out without a word, huh? I bet the teachers and everyone going to give us a hard time when we see them... Which really makes us not want to go...
Hey, I know! Pikachu! How about we just don't go to school again today, huh?" Everything went silence and Pikachu never thought that Cupcake for skipping school.
"...No go, huh? Yeah, I thought not... You're right... Skipping school is bad... I guess I'll go... But I really don't want to..." Cupcake say, this is the first time she skipped school. Pikachu agreed with Cupcake not wanting to go to school. She doesn't want to know how mad the teachers will be. They walk there way to school again. As they walk the path Pikachu have a question for Cupcake.
"Hey, Cupcake? How do you know what that crystal ball was?" Ask Pikachu.
"Hm? Oh, my brother has one. It's a Connection Orb, every Expedition Society members has one.
The Connection Orb shows a Pokémon in doing or needs help? And if you finish your Expedition work, the Pokémon you save or help will connect with you and some give you gifts as a thanks." Explain Cupcake.
"Woah!" Pikachu was speechless.
"I know right, speechless."
They walk and they were close to school.
"Good morning, Vice Principal Watchog!" Said Goomy.
"Yes, good morning!"
"Good morning, sir!" Said Deerling.
"Good morning! Very nice!" Vice Principal Watchog say good morning to everyone expect Cupcake and Pikachu they weren't here yet.
"And now...it looks like everyone is here. Everyone but the problem children, that is. After all Cupcake and Pikachu ran right out in the middle of classes yesterday! Oooh, just thinking about it again makes me so- I wanted to wait here to give them a proper lecture about third behavior but...they still haven't shown up. Harrumph!" *gaps* "It couldn't be- They couldn't be planning not coming to school today in order to avoid my lecture...ohhh, that would make me so...so...AUGH!!! I've got to take this rage out on someone!"
Pikachu and Cupcake sweat drop were hiding behind a rock hearing Vice Principal Watchog harsh lecture. They both sweat drop. How are they going to pass Vice Principal Watchog without getting caught.
"Ugh... Looks like Cupcake was right about this one." Though Pikachu with a worry face.
"Aw man... I knew he would be furious... He's just waiting to pounce on us the second we show are faces, huh? If only he'd just get called away for a second or two..." Said Cupcake planning how to get Vice Principal Watchog to not notice them.
"The first bell is about to ring too."
"Argh! At this rate, we'll be late to class! What should we do, Pikachu?" Question Cupcake.
"You're asking me? Like I know what to do in this kind of situation..." Though Pikachu. She doesn't know what to do, should they go face there fate or go home. She couldn't decide which one. How will they get through Vice Principal Watchog?
"Ahh! I wish we could teleport in class without Vice Principal Watchog noticing..." Said Pikachu can't decide.
"It's okay, we'll just-" Cupcake magical disappear from there hiding place.
"Bzz...Bzzz-zzzt! Huh? That's weird...? I lost connection on Pikachu and Cupcake. Odd?..." Though Espurr. She was going to help them pass Vice Principal Watchog but loss connection.

Pikachu and Cupcake teleport behind the class.
Cupcake was shock and suspire, how was that even impossible! And Pikachu...was just playing normal, this doesn't suspire at all.
"Let's go to are seats..." Said Pikachu walking to her seat.
"Y-yeah!" Cupcake walk and took her seat.
*Ding-dong-dong-ding. Ding-ding-dong-ding*
*Gasp* "The bell is ringing already? I've got to hurry to teach class!" Vice Principal Watchog walk into the class room.
"All right, everyone! I know we're still missing some members, but time to start! I'll be sure to thoroughly punish those two problem children later for daring to be-... Huh?! What in the-?! When did the problem children get here?! How could this be? How could I let this happen?!" Question Vice Principal Watchog getting confuse with rage.
"Mr. Vice Principal Watchog, shouldn't we be starting class right now?" Ask Deerling.
"Ah...Yes, yes, you're right. H-however...before we do... Pikachu! Cupcake!"
"Y-yes?!" Said Cupcake.
Here it's comes...
"You two little miscreants! You cut class yesterday without permission!"
"Y-yeah!" They both say in shame.
"Not yeah... I want to hear a "Yes, Sir!" Why do you problem children always have to cause so many problems to-" Vice Principal Watchog got interrupted by Principal Simipour.
"Excuse me, Vice Principal Watchog? I'm afraid you maybe in the wrong this time."
"P-Principal Simipour?!"
Principal Simipour enter the class.
"Cupcake, Pikachu... Ms. Roselia came by this morning to tell me what had happened. She was most grateful. It is true that the two of you left school without permission...and that was wrong. But I know you did so because you felt something more important was at stake. I think that the two of you made the right decision yesterday."
"Th-then...you mean...?" Pikachu and Cupcake look at each other.
"Yes. There will be no punishment this time. So I believe it is time that you begin your lesson, Vice Principal Watchog."
"All right! That's great, you two!" Said everybody in the class.
"Huh?" Question Cupcake and Pikachu with confusion.
"Pikachu, I'm really sorry about yesterday." Said Deerling.
"I doubted you, so I didn't do anything to help out..." Said Espurr.
"But I'm so glad that Budew is ok! Thanks, Cupcake and Pikachu!" Said Goomy.
"E-everyone is-" Pikachu though got interrupted.
"Uh... Hey! We just- Our bad, ok?" Said Shelment.
"Yeah, I mean...I guess you aren't a total lair, at least... So sorry about that..." Said Panchum.
"Sorry, Cupcake and Pikachu..." Shelment apologize.
"I'll admit it... You guys did pretty food this time." Said Panchum complementing them.
"Even Puncham...and Shelment?!" Cupcake was going to give a hug to them.
"Ugh, keep your distance! You're still so annoying!"
Panchum was back to himself.
"Don't misunderstand, ok?" Said Shelment back to himself too.
"Just because you did good this time doesn't make us friends or anything!"
"There you go again! Deep down, you want to be friends, don't you? I know you do!" Cupcake tease.
"What in the-! Of course we don't! This is why you're so annoying!" Pout Panchum.
Everyone laugh and cheered.
"Ah, the happy smiling faces of children. Don't you love seeing them, Vice Principal? This must be the best class you've had the pleasure of teaching...isn't it?" Said Principal Simipour.
"O-of course, Mr. Principal."

And after school that day...
*Ding-dong-dong-ding. Ding-ding-dong-dong.*
"All right! School's out! Let's go back to the plaza, Pikachu! We've gotta find Ampharos and give him back that Connection Orb of his!"
Pikachu nod.
"Alright! Let's go!" They both walk back to the plaza to find Ampharos.
"Maybe Ampharos at my house?" Question Cupcake
"Or maybe his outside here? I'll go check here, you go find him in you're house okay." Said Pikachu
Cupcake nod, they both look for Ampharos but no luck. Pikachu was just waiting for Cupcake to come back if she has any luck.
"He wasn't at my house, did you have any luck?" Ask Cupcake.
"No! His not outside here either."
They both sign, this was a total goose chase and a waste of time.
"Oh, hey! If you're looking for that Ampharos fellow... I passed by him a little while ago. Right near the village gate." Said Raticate giving them the luck they needed.
"Really? Thank so much! Come on, Pikachu!"
"Right behind you!"
As they walk up to the gates they saw Markus coming out.
"Ah! Markus!"
"Oh, sis! What are you doing?" Question Markus.
"We were looking for Ampharos in one of the mystery dungeons." Explain Cupcake.
"Oh, that good fo- Wait! Ampharos is here?! And your going to look for him at one of the mystery dungeons!" Markus has a serious protective look on his face.
"Yeah!...."
"Absolutely not! I'll look for him, you go back home and wait for him at home.... You too Pikachu."
"But Markus-"
"No, buts! Go home!"
*Sign* "Fine! Come on, Pikachu..."
Pikachu follow, they both waited for Ampharos at Cupcake's house. It was next to Nuzleaf's house.
So that makes them neighbors.
"Bored.............." Said Pikachu.
"It's only five minutes..."
"I get bored easily."
"Same......" They both lay down on the floor being bored out of there minds.
"Wait, I know! Wait here, I go get it!" Cupcake rush out of the room looking for something.
"Found it!" Cupcake came back with a very fun old book at her pawns.
"A....book?" Question Pikachu.
"A book of spells!" Cupcake flips the pages.
"Ancient Pokémon wrote this with they're Ancient languages or use Unknows to there writing. I have the Unknown writing but can't read them out..." Said Cupcake showing the book to Pikachu.
Pikachu look at the pages and she look very carefully.
"I think I can read them? The Unknows looks like letters?"
"That's because Unknows Pokémon are letters. It some time hard to till which letter they are..." Explain Cupcake.
"Hmmm......" Pikachu try reading the magic spell from the book.
"From blowing...winds from the...sky...above, from under...the sea...of splashing river....Show, no....Take me to the Pokémon that I seek.....now take me to........ where that Pokémon be!.........~"
Nothing happen, just a awkward silence.
"Will...this is awkward..." Said Cupcake seeing Pikachu putting the book down from the side of the floor.
"Eh! Worth a try..."
"You want to get a snack?" Ask Cupcake.
"Sure, just let me put your book away so we don't get crumbs on it." Pikachu was grabbing the book.
But can't feel the book...or the floor!?

"Cupcake...."
"Yeah!..."
"I think the spell work..."
"What makes you say that?"
Pikachu point down. Cupcake look down and they we're outside...from the sky! And they started to fall.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
They we're screaming for they're doom.
"AHHH! Oof! Ow!..." Pikachu landed first to the ground.
"AHHHHH!!! Oof!.... Huh? Something just broke my fall?" Cupcake was perfectly okay. But for Pikachu...
"Pikachu!? Pikachu where are you!?" Yelled Cupcake.
"Hmmm! Hmmm! HMMMM!!!!" Pikachu got herself up from Cupcake's weight on her.
"AHH!!!" Cupcake fell off from Pikachu.
*Cough cough* "Ahhh! I got some dirty water in my mouth!" Pikachu was spitting out dirty water out of her mouth.
"Wait! Dirty water?....Puddles......." *gasp* "Oh no!.... Pikachu we're at Poilwrath River, we need to-"
Someone interrupted Cupcake's warning.
"Wra-a-a-a-a-ath! Wra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ath! Po-li-wra-a-a-a-a-a-a-ath!" Three Poilwraths jump out of the water.
"Whoa!" Pikachu was suspire.
"To late..."
"This is our turf! Wra-a-ath!"
"Get out of here! Go home! Wra-a-ath!" Two Poliwraths warn them to get out.
"Y-yeah! We were just leaving actually...come on, Pikachu....." Cupcake grab Pikachu and walk away. But got stop by a shout.
"Who cares! Wra-a-ath! I am Poliwrath! The boss of Poliwrath River. Wra-a-ath!" Shout Poliwrath from the middle, making them both listening to him.
"No, you're not! I'm Poliwrath! I'm the real boss of Poliwrath River. Wra-a-a-a-ath!" Said the left side Poliwrath.
"No, no, you're not! I am Poliwrath! And I'm am the real boss of Poliwrath River. Wra-a-a-a-a-a-a-ath!"
Said the right side Poliwrath.
"Wait a second!"
"What're you guys talking about?!"
"What are YOU talking about?!" They all argue to each other leaving Cupcake and Pikachu sweat drop on they're heads.
"They...seem to be fighting one another..." Said Cupcake.
"Ya think?!"
"At any rate!"
"We're Poliwrath Brothers!"
"You'd better be ready for our wra-a-a-a-a-a-ath!"
"Pikachu! Here they go! They look pretty tough, but there only three of them! We can probably take them!"
"Hah! Let's do this!" Pikachu full with violence.
"Ha! I wouldn't be so confident. Wra-a-ath! To us! Loyal Poliwag lackeys!"
The ground started to shake.
"Wh-what..?" Question Cupcake.
"Huh...?" Question Pikachu.
"Po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po..."
One Poliwag and I mean ONE Poliwag just pop out of the water.
"Poli!"
They just sweat drop.
"There's...just one of them?" Said Pikachu.
"There are three of you, and yet you seem to have only one lackeys?" Said Cupcake.
This was getting awkward.
"W-we don't have to take lip from you! Wra-a-ath!"
"Take our wra-a-a-a-ath!!!"
"Here it comes; wra-a-a-a-a-a-ath!"
It's time for battle! The battle took an hour and they just defeated two Pokémon. Now Cupcake and Pikachu needed to defeat too more. It started to rain and Poliwrath punch Cupcake off guard.
"Hey! That's cheating, you have to use one move!" Yelled Pikachu.
"Rules are for losers like you. Wimpy Pikachu boy!"

"Grrrrrrrr!!!!" Pikachu's cheeks starts to spark and growing bigger?...
"Oh! You shouldn't say that to me!" Pikachu have a scary furious glare on her face with red glowing eyes.
*Pika-chuuuuuuuuuuuuu*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Pikachu use Thunderbolt or Thunder Rain because it's raining. Everyone fainted to the ground, Pikachu and Cupcake won. Will just Pikachu she accidentally Thunder Rain Cupcake.
"W-we did it! Now's are chance-" Pikachu stop and realizing Cupcake fainted to the ground too.
She walk up to help her, but one of the Poliwrath got back up.
"Watch out, Pikachu!" Cupcake warn Pikachu and weakly got herself up.
Pikachu turn around and Poliwrath was going to punch her.
"Wra-a-a-a-ath!"
"Whoa!" Pikachu close her eyes ready for the impact.
*Crash!*
"Wra-a-ath!" Poliwrath fainted back to the ground again.
Who hit him was...Ampharos!?
"The Dashing Wanderer has appeared! Ampharos...is on the scene!" Said Ampharos with a pose.
"A-Ampharos!!!" Cupcake was relief that they found Ampharos and he save Pikachu's life.
"That was quite the sticky spot you were in. My, my, my. We cannot let our guards down, now can we!" "Ampharos, you're actually here! Thank goodness! We've been looking for you, you know!" Said Cupcake half lying. She was looking for Ampharos but her brother didn't let her find him.
"Oh? For little old me? You're the children from the village. What reason could you have search for me? Ah... But before you answer that... Tell me. Where in the world are we?" Ask Ampharos.

"Huh?!" They both question.
"I'm quite sure I was having a look around the village...but somehow I end up here, before I even know what happened!"
They both sweat drop and explain everything to Ampharos. And they got back to the village and Markus wasn't very happy. Markus lecture them for going into a mystery dungeon without a grown up.
Cupcake and Pikachu we're grounded at Cupcake's house. And they we're lock in Cupcake's room to learn there lesson.
Markus and Ampharos we're talking in the living room.
"So why are you here, Ampharos?" Ask Markus.
"Markus, it's coming again!....."
*Gasp* "You don't mean!"
Ampharos nod.

To be continued...

"His coming back, and his already turn innocent Pokémon to status......."

Do they know Dark Matter before?
What with Pikachu having red glowing eyes?
