Apparently crystal flowers had begun blooming at night around Hoenn, presenting a wonderful, beautiful sight to behold. And apparently they were attracting wild Pokemon as well. Curious, Josh saw it as a good excuse to bring Izumi out for a little date, just the both of them. Of course, both of them being Trainers, they were both curious to see what Pokemon might be found. But it was just a good chance to go on a little night time walk together as well.

Ooh, what was up with her husband?

Most days he’d been busy with the RaiCorp stuff, which left her mostly handling the Ranger stuff around their tiny little town.

(Don’t get her started on the twins. Troublemakers they were, growing up so fast. Hard to believe that in a few years they were going to be journeying by themselves…)

“Apparently,” she began as she looked over the information on her PokéGear, “…these flowers have been blooming like, all over the place lately. And nobody knows why. Kinda strange,” she offered the information that was easily available to Rangers that had been dispatched to report any patches that they would come across, so that samples could be taken and transported to the League’s labs for further study.

Oh, if only they knew that it was an ominous sign of things to come… but they didn’t, so they were just there, the husband and wife Ranger couple, enjoying the view.

Indeed, the mission he had been given by his mother had ensured he was very busy lately. He had been working on projects left and right, though he had taken every excuse he could to utilize them to spend more time with his wife and kids. Such as this one, where this was a perfect excuse to spend time with Izumi while he was always getting a potential opportunity to see more Pokemon. And potential sources of inspiration for his project for the mission couldn’t hurt.

He lovingly took Izumi’s hand as the two wandered through the flowery fields, looking for the glowing flowers. He listened attentively as Izumi would detail what information she knew. “It’s strange that they would just pop up in such great numbers out of nowhere like that” Josh commented in turn. “Is it possible that a Pokemon is responsible?”

“Again, nobody knows where the hell they started coming from, or if there’s a Pokémon responsible for their appearance,” she hummed in reply, before reaching over and attempting to give him a noogie (but absolutely failing).

Ah, curse her height.

“If you’ve forgotten, you have the same level access that I do to the Ranger database,” she added with an elbowing gesture. “Most of what I told you is readily available there,” she added with a teasing grin on her face.

Clearly someone wasn’t paying too much attention to his other line of work…

“As it is, the League’s labs are still in the middle of analyzing the flowers for any other strange properties. It’s kinda like… what if the flowers came from another dimension or some shit? Like, would they be contaminated with stuff from their original world or something? Again, this is me just proposing theories and stuff.”

Oh he was definitely paying attention to his other work. It was no wonder he was so busy. Lately Pokemon had been behaving strangely, hell an entire horde of Bewear had been storming through a public route recently. All he’d been able to do was ensure they didn’t hurt other trainers and do what he could for them to calm down. So he had definitely been busy between both faucets of work.

But when wasn’t he multitasking?

Still, he had only gotten wind of this flower thing recently, so he continued to listen attentively to Izumi’s briefing. Of course when she failed at the noogie, he didn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around her and get her with one in turn.

“The rifts” he brought up as he began to piece it together. “What if they were brought from those rifts? The same one that changed Buddy.”

“Look, if it was caused by those strange ‘rift’ things, then there would be those equally-strange Pokémon appearing around them, too,” she pointed out.

Where had logic gone today, o great Josh?

“And besides, all of the reports that the rest of the Rangers have amassed so far have no mention of any changed Pokémon wandering around near the flowers, so that theory’s out the window,” she added.

“Try again,” she went on with a momentary smirk on her features.

As it was, they hadn’t seen hide nor hair of the strange flowers that shone with the strange glow—at least, not yet anyway.

She made a point regarding the Pokemon and Josh thought about it a moment longer.

“I dunno. Not every Pokemon that came with me into those rifts came out changed. Lightning so far seems completely unchanged” Josh pointed out in response. “Remember, some Pokemon have the capacity for different formes, like Castform and Rotom, under different conditions. It could be the same here when it comes to Pokemon being exposed to these rifts. Some Pokemon around here could be from them, but they look just like the ones we’re familiar with.”

She was enjoying correcting him a little too much though, and he ruffled her hair in response with a smirk and a roll of his eyes.

“Flowers like that don’t just start growing out of nowhere either. It could be a Pokemon is responsible, or it could either be these rifts or close proximity to an Ultra Wormhole.”

Of course you’ve been checking the online database for Pokémon information,” she mused. “I mean, with the app and everything.”

She then gave him an elbow in the side, seeing as the noogie wasn’t up to scratch for the thing.

“I know those… weird… rifts have other Pokémon coming out of them, but—I don’t think the database has updates on them yet. Don’t you find that strange?”

Was she seeing things—were the flowers getting brighter the deeper they went in the fields, or something?

Josh playfully squeezed her hand in turn. “My job as a Trainer and as a Ranger is to know everything I can about Pokemon. What if there’s something I could do for a Pokemon but I don’t know how? I need to learn as much as I can to be the best that I can be. It’s kinda like being a parent” he pointed out with a small laugh.

But he was definitely noticing that the flowers were getting brighter. He frowned slightly, subtly bringing his guard up a bit more.

“It’s gonna take time for them to record enough information for an update. This is still all really new.”

“Look, over there,” she continued quietly as she tilted her head in the direction where she was looking.

Now, normally, flowers didn’t have this radiant light literally emanating from their insides, so to find a patch of flowers that were glowing of their own accord—

Well, there you were.

“Check around the area, I have to call this in,” she remarked as she fished out her phone and began punching in a number.

“Gotta have the area secured and all that.”

Well, there they were. The flowers were literally glowing. Josh would gaze at them with a curious eye, blissfully unaware of whatever horrors they may bring. The writer is also unaware because he hasn’t paid enough attention, RIP.

“Right” he answered as the blonde would check around the area, continuing to see even more glowing flowers. “Looks like this date got a bit more magical than we anticipated” he commented as he found even more of the things.

“Seriously, these are bloody everywhere!”

“It’s a pretty big field of ‘em, don’t you think?” she continued, this look of worry on her face. “Better call for more backup, then.”

She continued the rest of the sentence in her head, Because apparently there are also reports of people stealing the flowers…

In a few moments, she turned around to make a call so that they could get the area secured.

(Now, Izumi’s writer would be lying if she hadn’t cackled at that momentary fourth-wall breaking that Josh’s writer had done just there in his most recent post…)
