As Poppy was still on the stairs, she watched as a pokemon shove
through two allies of hers. "Hey!" Poppy yelled silently at him.
She knew better to shove him back gladly, so she just continued up
the stairs, mouthing 'sorry!' at the two other small pokemon below
her. When she got in, she quickly jumped on the couch and waved
'hi' to Lunamina.
Comfey let out a squeak as he toppled backwards, the weight in his
flowers not helping him balance. He fell into the sand with dizzy
eyes, and almost fainted. He opened his eyes, and the world was
suddenly moving.
"A-Are you alright?" he asked the Pyukumuku. He noticed a yellow
pom-pom in the edge of his vision before his vision went black.
yes he's very weak ok that's why he's very reliant on his
draining moves lmao-

Glow sat boredly as he watched the other pokemon come in. He
wondered if his boss would get mad if he 'accidentally' used Sleep
Powder on everyone.
(Side note: the cloaked man got all his powers from the
legendaries. Perfectly thought out and important for the plot line
okok- no Gary Stu here :3c)
"Yes, I would get mad if you used Sleep Powder on everyone." The
cloaked man said to Glow, reading Glow's mind. He quickly levitated
the rest of the Pokemon not in the room into their seats. "Now,
let's begin-" He began.
Alex began to cheer, along with the other enemies that were
levitated in.
Pyumiku was about to cry, but she nodded before the Comfey blacked
out. She gently hooked the Comfey onto her with it's spikes and
attempted to go up the stairs with the additional weight.
Lunamina gave the Pokemon a wave with her foot, since she had no
arms. She hoped that a conversation wouldn't start, because she had
nothing to say.
Sky growled and aggressively opened the door to the lab.
Glow stiffened as his boss read his mind. He relaxed about a few
seconds later, though he was still on high alert. He boredly began
to play with his hat as he waited to hear what the cloaked man
would say.
"This is the plan." The cloaked man began as the cheering died
down. "We must wait for the Journey Pokemon to begin their Journey.
Now, hear me out. We must do this so that we can suck all their
powers out of them, just like we did for their guardians." He said
darkly.
"That seems a bit cruel, sir," Pandora slightly protested, "but
alright then." Pandora left the scene and started heading out with
the goals to spectate for Journey Pokemon.
Poppy continued waiting and started getting impatient. She decided
to check outside to see if he came, but instead, she saw the same
Pyukumuku and Comfey trying to climb up the stairs. "Need some
help?" Poppy offered.
"I will send out some of you to fight them, to try to stall their
journey. The strongest of you will be used for guarding the Altar.
If I send you out, do not be foolish with your powers, or I will
take them away. Do you understand?" The cloaked man asked the
Pokemon in the audience. His eyes narrowed when he saw his Pokemon
begin to leave. He levitated them back in and repeated himself.
Alex nodded quickly.
Sky shoved past Poppy on the way into the lab, then sat on the
couch away from everyone else.
Pyumiku nodded. "Yes, please! Could you please take this blacked
out Comfey into the lab?" She squeaked.
"I get it," Pandora quickly said and followed Glow. "We first
spectate the Journey Pokemon. I'm sure our leader would want us to
do that," Pandora instructed. "We must not attack them head on
though," Pandora glared at Glow, who she knew would attack them
when he saw them.
When Poppy got shoved, she hit Sky with a small shock before going
back to the other two pokemon in need. "Alright then," Poppy nodded
and picked up the Comfey along with the Pyukumuku, bringing them
both in. "Does anyone possess a healing move?" Poppy asked the
pokemon at the lab.
Dessin watched as the others left and were instantly hooked
back.
"Of course." It replied.
After watching it's master leave, Dessin floated out and equipped
on a Weakness Policy, as it wanted to take advantage of any
unexpected super effective hits.
After, it traveled into the direction of where the base of the
Journey Pokémon supposedly were.

Meanwhile, Chry drooled on and on in his sleep. It dreamt that it
had finally cornered a Carbink, and with this satisfaction he
lashed out at it, only to move in actuality and drop himself onto
the cold hard floor, jolting him awake with a yelp.
He hopped onto the trees outside of the tunnel, and jumped back
onto the grass. He exhaled a sigh. He really needed some
berries.
Glow walked around until he saw a group of Alolan Rattata's who
were fighting over a berry bush. He grinned evily. He walked up to
them and suddenly used Sleep Powder, causing nearby pokemon to
suddenly fall asleep. He happily took the berries and stuffed them
into his mouth.
Comfia's eyes slowly opened. He looked around before he saw other
pokemon, and panicked. He thought he was in danger and quickly used
Draining Kiss on all of them, trying to protect himself and also
gaining HP back. He flew up to the top of the Lab and whimpered.
"Just because he said not to attack the Journey Pokemon, that
doesn't mean you should attack other pokemon," Pandora argued.
Poppy was hit with the Draining Kiss and fell down, feeling like
she had no energy. She quickly got back up though when she
rubbed her two pom poms together, feeling that she had at least a
small bit of energy to stand. "What was that for?" Poppy asked, a
bit offended.
As Dessin ventured on, it recognized two of the other members
walking near it, an oricorio and a shiinotic walking on another
path separated by bushes and only visible from the spaces between
bushes. Seeing this, it floated towards them.

Chrys was about to respond to being laughed at, but was quickly
blown away by a Draining Kiss, damaged by the super effective hit
he quickly recovered himself and jump a space back.
"Wait-
Wait where 's this again?"
