The researcher and the dreamyard

After receiving the badge and dodging the stalker, Touya left the Striation city gym.

As he left, the first thing he noticed was a woman in a lab coat waiting outside.

The woman noticed Touya quickly and approached him.

"Howdy! My name is Oryza, Professor Encina has asked me to give you something, follow me" Oryza said with great energy and then walked towards a building opposite.

Touya just stood there not knowing exactly what to do.

"Hey, I told you to follow me" Oryza said as she came back a bit annoyed.

"It's not to be rude, but for a woman I don't know to take me to a building can't end well" Touya said with a bit of reluctance.

"That..., is a good point" said Oryza a little embarrassed and then searched in her Xtransceiver.

"Look here is my conversation with her" said Oryza showing her Xtransceiver

Touya checked what Oryza said and followed her into the building.

On the second floor Touya could see many gadgets and a very strange bed connected to them, as well as another young woman who seemed very busy with the investigation.

"I've been friends with Encina since college and that's why she asked me to give this to you" said Oryza and then handed a MO to Touya.

"With this your pokémon can learn the cut movement, which can help you clear the way in a forest or with any plant" said Oryza in an explanatory tone.

"Couldn't I just burn it?" I said in confusion.

"Pan Pansear!" Pansear said, throwing up small flames.

"You could cause a fire or hurt other pokémon so no" said Oryza with a warning tone.

"I would also like to ask you to help me obtain dream fume from the Munnas for my research" said Oryza expectantly.

"I don't see why not" Touya said casually.

"Excellent, go to the dreamyard, that's the closest place to find Munnas!" Oryza said very excited.

"Ok" Touya said and then left.

After healing his pokémon in the pokémon center and getting some rest, Touya arrived at the dreamyard with Oshawott on his shoulders.

"And so we won the trio badge, what do you think friend?" Touya asked Oshawott with a smile.

"Osha Oshawott!" Oshawott said happily and proudly.

"That's right, you were a great help" Touya said with a smile.

After a few minutes they arrived in front of a small tree.

"You find your end today little evil tree" Touya said with an evil smile.

"Come friend, let's try the MO cut" said Touya and then take out the disk.

Touya put the disk on Oshawott's forehead and after a little glow he learned the technique.

"Osha!" Oshawott said then grabbed the scallop from him and cut down the tree.

Just when Touya was going to follow his path he heard a voice.

"Touya!, Are you looking for strange pokémon too?" Bel said excited as always.

"I'm looking for a Munna to get dream fume for a friend of Professor Encina" Touya said with a smile.

"Ohh, a Munna, it sounds adorable" Bel said with a wide smile.

"Come let's look together" Bel said and then walked in front of Touya.

"I'm following you" Touya said calmly.

A few seconds later something was heard.

Munnn ....

"Hey Touya, did you hear something?" Bel said a little curious.

"That's right, let's see what it is" Touya said with a bit of suspicion.

As they got closer they could see a pink pokémon that was flying.

"I think that's a Munna" Touya said to later check it with his Pokedex.

"It's adorable!" Bel said with stars in her eyes.

"Munnn..." said the Munna and then moved away a bit.

"Hey, wait!" Bel said following the Munna.

Touya went with Bel and followed the Munna for a few meters.

At that moment an extravagantly dressed man and woman came out of nowhere.

"Hey, here's a Munna" said the man.

After that they both cornered the Munna and started violently shaking and kicking him.

"Let go off the dream fume" the woman said as she shook the Munna.

"Hey, who are you?, and what are you doing!" Bel said something angry and approaching them.

"We are the team Plasma and we want to free the pokémon from the orders of the humans" said the man.

"For that the dream fume can help us with our objective" said the woman as she kicked the Munna.

"Munn munn" said the Munna with a bit of pain.

"But that's no reason to kick a pokémon" Bel said still annoyed and getting closer to them.

"Those who oppose our ideals must be punished" said the man raising his hand towards Bel with the intention of hitting her.

But just before hitting her a hand stopped him and grabbed him very tightly causing him to complain a little in pain.

"Hey, who gave you the right, to touch my friend" Touya said in a calm and slow voice.

The man looked up and was instantly horrified.

Touya had a dark and creepy look, even his change in mood terrified the woman and scared Oshawott a bit.

'T-this look r-reminds me of them' thought the man in terror.
