Acerios took the badge gladly but towards the newly hatched Cresselia he started to cry tears of Joy, "It's....so.....beautiful!" he said hugging his new ally whom he have dubbed Cress. Quatic turned to Elesa, "He can get so emotional sometimes...but hey, it's how he rolls." he said as he turned to Gust.

Hizi woke up from his nap. He missed the entire battle. He did see Acerios crying. "Oh no. He lost the battle." Hizi thought. Hizi jogged over to Acerios. "It's ok, buddy. You'll get them next time." Hizi promised. Hizi then noticed Cress. "Is this pokemon harming you?" Hizi asked.

Acerios rubbed of the tears, "No I won...and we got a new friend also! Meet Cress Hizi!" he said as he attacked a translator to Cress.

"Oh my merciful Mewtwo, thank you Burgh!" Margo bowed and grabbed a painting of the battle. She looked for one her mother would like, then she saw one. However, it had a hole in it. "A bit tattered, but it'll do. Hey, Enyrgi, do you like it?" Even though she didn't exactly know what Pokemon would hatch from the egg, she wanted to name it anyways because of how it reacted to electrical energy. Looking back up, she saw the Cresselia. "Oh my Arceus, it's a freaking legendary! How?"

Acerios hugged it, "I got the egg from someone in Castelia City, we've gone through a lot too! I've read to it, slept with it, and saved it." he said. Acerios then spoke again, "My name's Acerios, what about you?" he asked.

Hizi welcomed Cress to the team and introduced himself.
Burgh looked up from his painting of Cresselia's hatching. "Acerios got that egg from the egg shop downtown. They old man that runs it gave it to him to congratulate him on his second badge." Burgh explained. "So you found a painting you like?" Burgh asked. "That one was pierced by a Sharpedo's tooth." Burgh said.

Acerios called up the man from the egg store, "Sir are you okay? Also I have gotten my 4th badge so..." he said asking. Quatic smiled a bit, "Sorry that was my fault in the battle.". Gust took to showing Cress some tactics they know and helped her practice.

The old man waited for Acerios'. He placed all of his eggs in order. He polished all of them so much they shined.

"It's totally fine, Burgh. My mom will love it." Margo looked down to her egg and smiled. "Well, my name is Margo. Why is Castelia destroyed? I just checked, then..." She showed the Xtransceiver to the group. "Bam! The whole area is destroyed on my locator. Let me guess, the Houndour? I'm surprised they can cause that amount of damage. For all of that to happen in at least a day, a pack of Houndoom of at least..." Margo started calculating a bit, then was shocked at her calculations. "...500! And they aren't even the most reckless, to suggest a big city. They're hyperactive Shinx or angry Luxray and Stoutland, no doubt."

Acerios rushed towards the old man with Quatic, Gust, and Cress and the others. He looked at the orange and white one (#13), he showed his badges, "What happened to Castelia City? Also may I have #13?"

"That's the way they are." The mysterious man said appearing from no where said. "Acerios here battled them and ended up deadlocked. The H Team agreed not to hurt humans or other pokemon if they could have the city. They were going to leave the city and live on a deserted island, but Burgh had to tackle their leader, Hato." The mysterious man said to Margo and Acerios.
"Here you go." The old man said lifting up the sandy egg. He handed it to Acerios.

Acerios smiled as he got it, "Nice to see you again, if you need me I'll be on the route to the next city!" he said as he headed off with the others.

"You know, I'm not actually one for battling. I always thought that we were using the Pokemon against their will if they didn't want to. I honestly feel sorry for them, but... Life is life. It's not like I can make a difference, can I? I want to help the Pokemon, level up by trust..." Margo looked down to her egg. "I've actually been thinking... I don't really want to battle anyone unless I have to. They're friends... and I'm going to accept that. I'm planning to only raise Pokemon and continue my professions; science and art. With Pokemon, nothing can stop us, right?" Margo felt the egg, and felt rustling. "Dear Dialga, I think this egg is about to hatch! I'm gonna get an incubator!"

((That's Margo for you. Dramatic one moment, hilarious in the next. Egg data, or hatching at least?))

Acerios headed to Route 5 to train and see the sites, Quatic and Gust helped Cress catch up on events and welcome her to the class.
