And…he was back in the heat. At least it was productive and temporary… Luke wandered across the sand, Snow firmly in his grip and River at his side. The Greninja could probably easily handle anything they ran into here, which was good because Snow had absolutely no experience and Luke really didn’t want to send a baby out to get hurt, Pokemon or otherwise.

The sand in front of him shifted and he stopped, waiting to see what would happen. Would this be an encounter, or was it just a weird trick of the wind? Would it be hostile or friendly? He was about to find out…

Well, that wasn’t what he was expecting. Still, he had to use the experience to train up Snow. He instructed the Togepi to watch close and turned to River.

“Extrasensory.”

River complied, and Snow cried out at the Skorupi’s pained screech. Luke winced – why did he want to train up a baby Pokemon again? – but then the screeching stopped, and – eventually – Snow stopped crying. The little one continued to sniffle, though, and Luke gave a sigh as he tried to calm it by rocking. The things he did in the name of building a strong team…

“Let’s go home.” He returned Snow to his pokeball and led River back the way they’d come.
