//------------------------------// // School of Aria // Story: My Little Pokémon // by Amarvax //------------------------------// The second week of the Pokemon Festival is here. Meaning that the Pokemon Festival was slowly coming to an end. A shame but inevitable. But this means there's an even larger reason to fully experience this festival to the end. Right now, Adagio and her sisters alongside the tagalong of Sunset Shimmer were on a train that was heading somewhere related to the Pokemon Festival. On that same train, Chloe, alongside her Eevee was also there. Encouraged by her friends, she had been getting into the festival quite a bit. It's a nice form of enjoyment that anyone can jump into. "Wait. Where are we headed?" Sonata looked at the window. "Some countryside, I think?" Aria said. "Apparently, it's apart of the Pokemon Festival, somehow. But it sounds pretty boring. Right, Adagio?" "I don't know. A countryside doesn't sound too bad." Adagio replied. "It's way less noisy after all." "Sounds like you've been to one before," Sunset said to Adagio. "Yeah, when we were banished to the human world. Any countryside is the only good thing about that world honestly." "The food there's pretty great though!" Sonata squeed. "Music's good too." Aria nodded. "Okay, one of the few things good about that world." Adagio groaned. "It's not just an ordinary countryside. But a Pokemon Exclusive one." A man sitting nearby said to them. "Just another result of the Pokemon changing this world as they go." "Oh! That makes things better!" Sonata gasped. "What do you think it's going to be like?! Is it Type-exclusive?!" "Could be one of those Fairy places. Hear those are pretty comfortable." Aria closed her eyes, imagining being at a Fairy-Type exclusive location. "Wait. What's this about exclusive locations?" Sunset was confused. "Same here. Can you say that again? And changing the world as they go?" So was Chloe who leaned in. "You two are pretty slow," Adagio smirked. "If you didn't know, because of the existence of Pokemon, Equestria's been going through some changes. The Pokemon transform the land just to feel more at home and create new areas that fit them best. And other stuff like that." "It also makes Equestria look bigger!" Sonata exclaimed. "But it was already pretty big before so like...Woah..." "They're pretty nice to look at too." Aria nodded. "Ooh..." Sunset Shimmer and Chloe nodded. "Yamper!" "Now I'm interested." Sunset sat back down. "How long till we get there?" "Won't be long now. Look!" Sonata pressed her face on the window as the view of the countryside could finally be seen. A peaceful open sight with green and placid land far as the eye can see. Pidgeys, Starlys and other Flying-Type Pokemon chirped as they flew over the hills. Much like every other Pokemon-exclusive location, it had a wonderful and calming aura that was unexplainable. Countless Normal, Grass, Flying, Water and even Bug-Types could be seen residing here alongside the small buildings with residents. The sun shining through on this one lonesome countryside only added to its calming nature. And the Grass-Type Pokemon enjoyed it for sure. "Oh, I've been missing out..." Sunset's jaw dropped. "Sure have." Adagio stood up, ready to exit the train at any moment. "Yamper! Yamper!" Yamper was barking at the landscape of the countryside, mainly towards the Pokemon living there. The train was about to come to a stop since their destination was close enough. The train announced that it was stopping here permanently. It would not move again until tomorrow. Thankfully, there was a second train just in case. The Sparkling Countryside. A mishmash of an already existing area in Equestria merged with the Pokemon World. Compared to many other locations, this one was on a smaller scale instead of being wide and gigantic like the Kingdra Durance or Faye Mountains. "Woohoo! Let's get rolling!" Sonata jumped off the train as she was the first to exit. She immediately sent out her Buneary and Eevee to enjoy this experience with her. "Buneary!" "Eevee!" "Yam!" Yamper hopped off Chloe's arms as it wanted to mess around with its fellow First-Stage Evolution Pokemon. "Is the town the only thing we're going for?" Aria sent her Popplio out "Only thing here. Unless you want to move around those freakishly long mountains," said Adagio. "Come on. I'm curious about these new attractions. Even if they might be smaller than the rest." "Krick?" Kricketot popped out of Adagio's mane, looking over the countryside. Everyone else got off the train as the residents of the town greeted the newcomers since not many come by here. Strangely, this small little countryside still had some snow left. Whether it was the weather acting up or the cause of an Ice-Type Pokemon, it was here regardless with a ton of it just scattered around the place. "Look at all this snow. How's there still so much?" Chloe placed her hand in a large pile of snow, creating a perfectly-shaped handprint on it. "Oh! Cold!" She pulled her hand back as she held a snowball. "Yamper!" Yamper, Buneary, Popplio and even Kricketot jumped into the pile of snow, creating holes in it as they were frolicking around in its soft and white glory. "Bunear!" "Vee!" "Tot!" The four Pokemon played around in the snow before immediately feeling a rush of chilling cold flow into their bodies, causing them to freeze. Thankfully, Sunset Shimmer's Braixen came out of her Poke Ball to melt away their icy prisons. "Spheal!" A group of Spheal's inside of the snow greeted them as well by freezing the party once more and even Braixen as well. That was just their way of saying hello. With such a small town, very few greeted the newcomers. But then again, the train only had 12 passengers at best so they didn't have many to say hello to. So far, the second week is off to a slow start. As for their trainers, the further they approached the town, the more they got to witness. Obviously, the usual was here. Attractions, foods, events, etc. But one thing this place had that actually grabbed the interest of the Dazzlings and Sunset Shimmer, mostly the Dazzlings was a singing attraction. And that singing attraction had a Primarina which was the mascot and ruler of this particular attraction. Much like how Lopunny is the ruler of its own attraction which is Lopunny's Dance Inferno. The name of this Attraction was known as Primarina's School of Aria. "Oh...What's this?" An interesting Adagio gawked at the attraction which was really just a podium near a large lake. "School of Aria? Oh, that's you, Aria!" Sonata nudged Aria. "Haha...I get it." Aria let out a sarcastic and unenthusiastic laugh. "You like what you see?" A festival employee asked. "Sure do!" Sonata exclaimed. "A singing school?! By a Prima...how do you say it?" "Primarina...It kinda looks like..." Aria took out her Pokedex, scanning the Primarina. "Primarina. The Soloist Pokemon. It controls its water balloons with song. The melody is learned from others of its kind and is passed down from one generation to the next. Its singing voice is its chief weapon in battle. For Primarina, every battle’s a stage. Its singing and the dancing of its balloons will mesmerize the audience. This Pokémon’s Trainer must prioritize the daily maintenance of its throat at all costs. Any injury to its throat can become a grave problem." "Pop?" Aria's Popplio overheard this as she waddled over to her trainer. "So that's what Popplio will turn into?" Aria looked at her partner. "Hm." Sunset took a closer look at the words on the attraction sign. "The Songstress Primarina's School of Aria. A perfect place to train both the trainer and Pokemon with their singing skills. Popplio and Brionne are good Pokemon for this attraction." "Lio!" Popplio clapped her flippers together as she jumped towards the attraction, heading straight for Primarina. "Rina?" The Soloist Pokemon looked down at her First Stage Evolution. The other Pokemon apart of the class looked over at the Sea Lion Pokemon as well. "Popp! Pop!" At first glance, Popplio was already pulled towards this attraction and Primarina. More than the Dazzlings combined potentially. She clapped her flippers together right at her Third Stage Evolution. "Looks like your Popplio's found the attraction for her, huh?" Sonata nudged Aria. "Looks like it." Aria nodded in agreement. "Guess this is the best way for it to grow into a Primarina, right? Learning from an actual Primarina." "The best part is that it can teach others." Sunset pointed her hoof at the sign. "How lucky is that?" "Oooh! You think we could also take singing lessons from her to get our skills back?" Sonata squeed. "Probably." Aria narrowed her eyes. "It's got my interest for sure." "Pssh!" Adagio scoffed. "As if. I'm already a good enough teacher. Wonderful even. You don't need anyone else to teach you how to sing properly." "Too late. Already decided." Aria said as she walked alongside Sonata, approaching the attraction and Primarina. "Ah! Hmph!" Adagio sat down, crossing her hooves together. "So, you'll take the lessons?" The employee asked them both. "Mhm!" Sonata nodded aggressively while Aria nodded gently. "Good. Good. You're just in time too. Our previous learners had just finished up." The employee pointed over at those who had just finished taking part in the School of Aria. One of those learners was none other than Jewel, who was here with her husband Hollow, who was currently asleep on a chair, dozing off. "I'll actually have another go!" Jewel dashed over to the employee. "Oh, nevermind. I suppose we have one extra left to go." said the employee. "Oh. Good to see you all again!" Jewel waved at Adagio, Aria and Sonata. "Especially you, Adagio." "Hm." Adagio gave a small remark while still sitting down with her hooves crossed. "Prima!" Primarina lifted Popplio all of a sudden, looking dead into the eyes of the Sea Lion Pokemon. "Rina!" "Pop?" "Seems like the Songstress is very interested in your Popplio here. Pretty fast actually...faster than others." The employee narrowed her eyes. "Really? How come?" Aria asked. "The Songstress is a world-renowned pop-star, ya know. No other Primarina's as good as her. So if she sees something good in this Popplio here, I think a successor might be right in front of her eyes." "Seriously?" Aria actually shot up from that. "Would ya look that...You're really lucky Popplio." "Pop!" Popplio clapped her flippers together, wanting to get this class started. "Are you all ready for the School of Aria?" The employee questioned. "Yes please!" Sonata bellowed. "Sounds like fun. But, I don't know if I'll need it." Sunset stayed out of it. "Hmph," Adagio growled. "Could've just let me do it..." "Great!" The employee clapped her hands together. "Now, you'll need these." She pulled out headphones. "The school can be fairly harsh on the ears." While Aria and the others prepare to practice their singing skills with the help of Primarina, Chloe decided to explore the rest of the small town by herself with Yamper. She actually wanted to eat something first before interacting with the attractions around the festival. Although, the School of Aria wasn't exactly for her so that one was ruled out. She came across one food stall that caught her interest. It was merely titled Cozy Concession Stand with the face of a very happy looking pegasus on it. "Cozy Concessions...Sounds delicious." Chloe said while looking at the logo. "Sure does!" The owner of the stall opened the hatch up, startling Chloe as she revealed her face. The pegasus behind this was none other than the same pegasus Paul and Aria once met. Cozy Glow. "Oh. You startled me there." Chloe sighed while Yamper's fur stood up after seeing Cozy Glow. "Yamper..." The Puppy Pokemon suddenly growled at the pegasus. "So!" Cozy whistled. "You need something to bite miss? Everything here's good for spring. Ice Cream Cones, Marshmallows in the shape of bunnies, Garlic Fries and Fruit Punch." She squeed. "Aren't you a little too young to be selling food? Drinks I understand but..." Chloe pointed at the little pegasus. "No!" Cozy suddenly bellowed with a booming sound before returning her voice to a normal level. "No. No, I'm not. Besides, my uh...parents let me do this." She closed her eyes, letting out a somewhat uneasy smile. The moment she said parents, the sounds of banging and muffled screams could be heard from inside the stall where Cozy Glow resided. Chloe could hear this as the stall itself was shaking all the while, Cozy Glow kept that smile up as if there was nothing odd going on. "Ignore that. That's just my pet messing about as usual." She grinned. "...Oh. Okay. I'll take that Marshmallow Bunny then. However much that costs." "Great!" Cozy Glow slammed a jar of marshmallows on the table with aggression. "That'll be 4 bits. But if you don't have any then I'll take Pokemon money too. Loads of it." "Alright" Chloe looked in her bag as she pulled out 10 Pokedollars. "Will this do?" "Golly! It sure will!" Cozy nodded as she bit the Pokedollar, taking it off Chloe's hand. "This'll get me a ton of Poke Balls and a ton of chances to catch all the Pokemon I need.." She said in a somewhat sinister voice. "Hm? Oh. Pokeballs actually cost around 200 Pokedollars." "2-?!" Cozy Glow wheezed as she dropped the Pokedollar. "200?!" "Mhm. For just one. You want to catch a lot of Pokemon, then you'll need more than 200 Pokedollars." "That's ridiculous! Your world would charge that much for some stupid-" Cozy growled before maintaining her composure once more. "I mean. Golly. Would you like to buy more from me so that it equals up to 200, miss?" "Uh...Sorry. I'll just take the Marshmallow Bunnys instead." Chloe picked up the jar, walking off. "Good luck with your business." "Yamper...!" Yamper snarled at Cozy Glow while Chloe was walking away, showing obvious disdain for Cozy Glow as the Puppy Pokemon knew there was something off about her. "Kh! Useless human...200, are you insane?" Cozy Glow scoffed as she blew her tongue out at Yamper. She could still feel the stall shaking as it was starting to get on her nerves. She walked to the back of the stall, opening the bottom hatch which revealed two ponies who were tied up with their mouths restrained. These two ponies looked at Cozy Glow with horrified eyes while they were squirming about. "Cut it out!" Cozy yelled. "I'll let you free as soon as I get enough cash to buy all the Poke Balls I need. Then I'll catch a ton of Pokemon and blah-blah-blah, you already know this. So sit tight, okay?" She let out an innocent yet cruel smile as she closed the hatch, returning to the top of the stall, waiting for more customers. Hopefully humans. The School of Aria had begun. But the lessons weren't exactly what Aria and Sonata were expecting. Instead of just sitting about like most singing lessons, Primarina took it to the next level that gives enjoyment to everyone. "First!" The employee raised her finger. "Learning a singing move!" "Learning a singing move?" Aria turned to the employee. "Mhm. The first rule of the School of Aria. Your Pokemon must have a singing move to advance. And if they don't, they can just learn one. Simple as that." "Okay but...how exactly? Do we need to battle?" Sonata asked. "Not at all. Pokemon moves can be learned without needing to battle." "Oh yeah!" Sonata's ears shot up. "Fantina taught us about something like that, remember?" "Hm. She did." Aria remembered now. "Prima!" Primarina gave the order for everyone to follow her exact movements. The move they were going to be learning first was Hyper Voice. And Primarina already knew Hyper Voice among many other sound-based moves. She started by holding her breath and aiming at the lake that she and everyone else were facing. "Marina!" Marina took in a deep breath as her body was glowing light blue. She then exhaled as in the inside of her mouth, a glowing aura of white transparent energy and a beam of wind with turquoise rings inside them came out with a beautiful and harmonic hum echoing throughout the area. The beam of sound was so great that it manipulated the lake itself, causing it to rise as the water was dancing to Primarina's humming. Naturally, this made the others gawked in amazement. Primarina had just manipulated a large body of water by just humming. The water returned to normal after the humming came to an end. And now it was time for everyone else to practice their humming. Aria was going to work alongside her Popplio of course. Sonata would work with her Eevee and Buneary while Jewel chose her Lopunny. All of them began humming, ready to learn a sound-based move. If they're lucky, they can learn Hyper Voice immediately. But the most common move to learn on a first try is Sing or Echoed Voice. But since Jewel has taken this class already today, her Lopunny was pulling it off with excellence as she already knew Hyper Voice. "Hrm!" Sonata cleared her throat as she was trying to get the right hum. Thanks to the lessons from Adagio, Sonata didn't sound like a cat being choked anymore, but instead, a fairly good singer. The same can't be said for her Pokemon though. "Vee! Vee!" "Bun!" The two of them weren't exactly angels when it came to singing. But they were giving it their best. As for everyone else, some were struggling while some were getting the hang of it. Those that got the hang of it learned Disarming Voice, a move comparable to Echoed Voice but with a bit more flair in the eyes of Primarina at least. It's definitely the Fairy magic that makes it special. "Tot!" Adagio's Kricketot was too invested in this as he jumped over Adagio and onto the platform, joining everyone in this humming lesson. "Pop...Pop!" Aria's Popplio was giving it her all as she seemed to be the one student putting in more than 100% effort because of how she looked up to Primarina. She doesn't want to disappoint her idol after all, especially if Primarina sees something amazing in her. Everyone else had already learned new moves such as Sing and Echoed Voice, but Popplio hadn't learned anything yet. In fact, each time she tried to sing, she only ended up creating large water bubbles. "Come on, Popplio." Aria encouraged her partner. "You can do it. Try copying me instead." "Lio?" Aria offered to show Popplio instead of letting the Sea Lion Pokemon improvise on the spot since it was not working for her right now. Aria started humming as Popplio carefully followed her trainer's actions. And learning from her partner was actually effective as Popplio was no longer creating large water balloons but instead, she was starting to hum, albeit very gently. Because of that, white energy started forming in Popplio's mouth. A clear sign that a sound move was about to be learned. And with the energy being white, it was obvious that Hyper Voice was waiting to come out. But as Popplio increased her tone, she ended up learning Hydro Pump instead of Hyper Voice. The high volume of water came flying out as it even pushed Popplio back. It then engulfed Primarina, which made everyone gasp at the sight of it. "Pop!" Popplio fell on her back before getting back up. "Lio?" The Sea Lion Pokemon then noticed that she had accidentally blasted her idol with Hydro Pump. "L-Lio?!" "Prima..." Prima gazed at Popplio as the water was slowly dripping down from her. Everyone held their breath as they were terrified of what Primarina's reaction would be. "Rina!" Thankfully, Primarina could tell what an accident was and congratulated Popplio for learning a new move. Even if it wasn't the right one. "Popplio!" "Mmm.." Some of the water got on Hollow, prompting him to wake up. Surprisingly, it wasn't Primarina's Hyper Voice that woke him up. He noticed three familiar faces in the form of Sonata, Aria and Adagio. He rubbed his eyes, getting up from the chair as he yawned. "Oh. I need something to bite from those stalls. Haven't slept properly since last night." "It's not a singing move but it's good progress." Aria patted Popplio on the head. "Lio!" "Good, good!" The employee clapped. "Now let's see you all control the water with your voices. Just like how Primarina did with Hyper Voice Doesn't have to be anything major. It can be a small drop of water even as long as it can be manipulated via the voice." "That is pretty impressive..." Adagio shifted her eyes rapidly. "Why can't my voice do that...?" "If we're lucky, perhaps a super rare Pokemon will show up here." said the employee. "Now let's see that water move, everyone!" "Popplio!" Back at the food stalls, Hollow was about to grab himself something to eat. And the only food stall that seemed to be open here was Cozy Glow's Concession Stand. And nothing else. "Oh!" The little pegasus spotted Hollow approaching as she rubbed her hooves together, hoping to get a ton of Pokedollars. Knowing how much Poke Balls cost now, she decided to bump the price up to 200, the right amount for one Poke Ball. As for bits, she kept them the same since she didn't need bits. All the while, the two ponies beneath were still trapped. "Hello, mister!" Cozy greeted."Want some food or drinks?!" "Hm?" Hollow narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you a little too young to be running a food stall? "Mrrgh!" Cozy Glow twitched after hearing that, but she kept her cool. "Mommy and daddy let me run it, so it's perfectly fine." "Oh okay." Hollow nodded. "I'll have that." He pointed at the Garlic Fries which cost 200 Pokedollars. "Okay! You want multiple Garlic Fries?" She squeed, wanting Hollow to answer with multiple. "No, just the one." Hollow shook his head. "One huh?" She twitched again, upset that he didn't choose multiple. "That's fine. Here you go." She took out the box of Garlic Fries while Hollow gave her 200 Pokedollars. "Pleasure doing business with you mister!" As they swapped objects, Cozy Glow realized that if she added the 200 Pokedollars to the 10 Pokedollars she got from Chloe, she'll eventually have enough to buy multiple Poke Balls for her own secret and personal gain. But before Hollow could walk off with his Garlic Fries, along came one individual who was very suspicious of Cozy Glow. Of course, it was Chloe's Yamper, who was charging towards the food stall. "Yamper! Yamp!" The Puppy Pokemon barked at Cozy Glow while running at full speed. "Gh! You?!" Cozy Glow winced. "Yamper! Wait!" Chloe exclaimed while chasing her partner. "Hm?" Hollow turned around, spotting Yamper approaching as he was in the way. "Oh!" He quickly raised his leg, letting Yamper through as the Puppy Pokemon came to a screeching halt in front of the food stall. "Per! Yamper!" "Feh! Stupid dog..." Cozy chided. "Yamper!" Chloe breathed in and out as she caught up to her partner. "What's gotten into you?" "Yamper!" The Electric-Type wouldn't stop barking at Cozy Glow. But more importantly, Yamper was also sniffing the bottom of the food stall while barking at the same time. "Your dog's bothering me. Could you pleeeaase deal with it?" Cozy said while maintaining a smile. "Sorry." Chloe bowed. "Maybe Yamper's just hungry for something right now. Are you, Yamper?" "Per!" But Yamper wasn't hungry at all. It knew something that the others didn't. Yamper stopped barking, but that didn't mean its time around the food stall was over. Instead, Yamper was going to attack the food stall with Spark. The Puppy Pokemon lit itself up with an electric aura that surrounded its body. "Oh!" Chloe and hollow both gasped while Cozy Glow's eyes widened. "Yam...per!" Yamper then bolted forward with an electrically charged tackle, heading straight for the bottom of the food stall. "Waagh!" Cozy Glow screeched as she jumped out of the way, not wanting to be a victim of an Electric-Type move. Once Yamper smashed into the bottom of the food stall, the bottom hatch had been obliterated by the sheer impact, leaving behind some volts that were crackling around the stall. And once that hatch and bottom half was destroyed, the two tied up ponies had been revealed to the eyes of Chloe, Hollow and Yamper as they were muffling and squirming about. "What the...?" Hollow dropped his box of garlic fries. "Yamper! Yam!" "Uh oh." Cozy Glow made a poker face as she gulped. "Yamper...is that why you came here?" "Yamper!" "I-Ignore that! Mom and dad are just playing around!" Cozy Glow tried to lie her way out of this. "Mmm!" The two ponies aggressively shook their head, denying any relation to the little pegasus. With that realization, Hollow and Chloe looked up at Cozy Glow with shocked faces. "Oh well. Fun while it lasted. I've got other ways to get Poke Balls anyway." Cozy Glow shrugged. "Thanks for the Pokedollars, by the way!" She took off in a heartbeat, flying away to avoid any consequences. "Yamper!" But Yamper, being the stubborn and persistent Pokemon that it was, decided to chase the little pegasus down. "Yamper!" Chloe was about to follow her partner again, but she had to untie the ponies who were beneath the stall first along with Hollow. Both of them helped untie the two ponies, freeing them from their restraints as the duo gasped, glad that they could move and open their mouth at last. "T-Thank you!" They each said while breathing in and out. "Are you okay? What happened?" Hollow asked. "That filly is insane!" The mare screeched as she stood up. "She came here and-and-and..." The stallion was stuttering. "Acting like she runs the place...which she did for a while!" "Someone that young and small did this? But why?" Chloe questioned. "Something about catch a ton of Pokemon with a lot of Poke Balls." said the stallion. "She took over our food stall and started profiting from our hard work." The mare uttered. "Just 3 days ago. I'm starving here..." "Oh." Chloe grabbed her marshmallow jar, giving it to the stallion and mare. "Here you go." "Ah!" The two of them were pleased to see food as they immediately snagged the jar, beginning to grab the marshmallows as they were devouring them like maniacs. They were truly starving. "Guess I shouldn't doubt Yamper's intuition anymore." Chloe stood up before remembering that Yamper was chasing Cozy Glow down. "Oh! Yamper!" "Yamper!" Yamper was in hot pursuit of Cozy Glow, chasing the little pegasus down without showing any signs of stopping whatsoever. "Yam! Yamper!" "Stupid dog! Get lost already!" Cozy Glow screeched as she found it difficult to escape from the Puppy Pokemon. She looked in her saddlebag as she actually had 2 Poke Balls. One that she stole from Paul, and the other she snagged from a random trainer. Speaking of stealing, that's what Cozy Glow was going for. Since the food stall plan had been foiled, it was back to stealing Poke Balls from random trainers. The little pegasus noticed the train nearby as she decided that the train would be her getaway vehicle. "Excellent!" Cozy Glow grinned while looking back at the Puppy Pokemon. "So long, loser!" She blew her tongue out at Yamper before flying into the doors while they were closing. "Per! Yam!" But Yamper wasn't about to give up. Pokemon that are based around dogs tend to be incredibly persistent for the sake of justice. As such, Yamper used Spark one more time to gain an extra boost in speed. With lightning blitzing out of it, the Puppy Pokemon immediately caught up as it had also entered the train before the doors could even close. "Huh?!" Cozy Glow screeched as she didn't expect that to happen. The doors had closed, meaning the train was about to leave. And she was currently locked in with Yamper since no one else other than the conductor was on this train. "Yamper!" The Puppy Pokemon started barking aggressively at Cozy Glow. "Yamper! Chloe followed the footsteps of her partner which led her and Hollow to the train station. If anyone could find Cozy Glow, it was Yamper because of its great intuition and sniffing. "Where are you?!" Wondering where her Pokemon was, the train was finally moving as it was headed somewhere else. But as Chloe wondered where Yamper went, she wouldn't have to wonder any longer as she spotted two individuals in the window while the train was moving. Yamper and Cozy Glow. "Oh! Yamper!" Chloe held her hand out, trying to call for her partner, but it was too late. The train had already picked up enough speed to leave her behind. Now Yamper was stuck in a train with Cozy Glow, heading off to another location. A perplexed Chloe's jaw dropped as she didn't predict anything like this going down. "That's a shame. Alright then. We'll just pursue them as well." Obviously, now that her partner was in the train with a somewhat cruel pegasus, Hollow decided that the best option would be to give chase to the train. "But how? The train's already gone." "No need to worry." Hollow rubbed his hands together, hatching up a plan. "There are other ways to travel. We're going by sea." As the journey continues. Chapter 352 End.
