I thought we were in trouble there!" Big Bee said, rubbing Combusken's shoulders. The pair sat in a plush, pastel room filled with flowers, toys, baskets of sweet food, and lots of soft things. They'd loaded in here when he'd hit the Pokemon Refresh option on his UI. "We were in trouble! I thought I was gonna be nuggets. And Nobody likes cold nuggets." "That's true." He found a tight spot, her left shoulder, and set to work loosening the muscle. "So are you ready to jump back in?" At the word 'jump' Combusken's legs tensed automatically, as if she'd trained herself to react to even the thought of an action. Insane reaction speed. "Once I've had some grub," she said, head lolling as Big Bee rubbed. "I'll get you some grub." Orange's head tilted at the word. "No I'm not getting you that Wurmple at Bethany's." "Please?" "No! You just want to eat it!" "That's...." "You're not even going to argue?!" "We might be friends!" "I'll tell you what. If you can beat the next boss without being knocked out I'll get you a pet Wurmple. Fair?" Orange jumped to her feet and crowed in delight. "I'll do it! I'll knock them out in one hit! You don't even need to send in a second Pokemon. This one is all me!" Big Bee laughed and pulled Orange back to the floor. He searched through his Pokemon grooming kit and settled on a light brush. "I'll bring a second just in case," he said, smoothing down Orange's feathers with the brush. It didn't seem to straighten them, but it removed a bit of dust. "There's no reason to get cocky." "Was that...a chicken joke?"

It was ancient. It was a burial mask, that much was for certain, and it was gilded and ever-so-slightly tarnished. "How did you get in by bag?" he asked aloud, rubbing a spot with his sleeve. The shadow of the mask materialized. "Non meministi?" "AH!" Big Bee dropped the mask, but tiny shadowed hands wrapped around his arm. The mask hung from his wrist, oddly reminiscent of Rian...who he'd had to leave behind at the temple. "Uh...hello?" "Salve!" "For what, a wound? I don't...are you okay?" More spots of rust had appeared on Yamask's golden face, and Big Bee calmed his nerves and grabbed a rag to rub them away. "These are pretty stubborn. And pale. I'll do what I can though." "Agnosco vigorem tuum, amice." "Agnostic mice? Oh dammit. Is this in another language? I must have bumped something in my settings." Big Bee looked, but his language was set to English (US) as always. "Whatever. Let's just get that mask cleaned up." "Verto ad saxum." "I can't play, but I'll put on some music if you'd like."

Go! Go! Go! Yes! Yes! YEEEEES!" Big Bee cheered, as Taka tried again to swallow an entire watermelon whole. "You got it this time, just don't bite down-" Take slammed his jaws shut like a steel trap, spraying the playroom with even more pulpy red mess. "Yaaaaay! Well, that was much closer," Big Bee said, toweling himself off. The room was an absolute disaster, dripping with chunks of fruit and stinking like a juice bar kitchen. "You feeling ready for the raid?" Big Bee asked, tossing a smaller, green towel to the Wartortle. "Hungry," Taka said, still chewing some of the rind that had gotten stuck in his teeth. "I know buddy. Let's get Orange and fire up the BBQ."

It had been more than forty-eight minutes of face-melting music, and Big Bee was on his second set of earplugs (the first set had melted when Thwackey pulled out her second drumstick. He gripped the edge of his chair, feet flat on the floor, and let the waves of pounding, smashing, thrashing, and downright rockeriffis music wash over him like a tide of gravel. After an age, the music stopped, and Big Bee came back to his senses. "What did you think?!" Rian asked, shoving the sticks back into her topknot. "Actually?...Pretty good! Maybe you should get some more of a band though." Rian looked downtrodden. "You know, to like emphasize the meaning of the drumming. Like to really lift the musicality!" "Maybe you're right..." Rian said slowly. "How about a singer?" "That sounds like a great idea!"

Big Bee asked, offering Thwackey a fist bump. "More than a while! You've been leaving me high and dry!" replied Rian, and though she sounded unhappy there was a playful twist to her simian grin. "I did not! I've just....I've been busy." "That's not a counter-argument, that's just a reason." He nodded, taking off his bandana and letting his hair down. They were in a soundproofed studio room, the walls covered in all sorts of instruments. "Is it a good one at least?" She shrugged. "Not the best, but we all get busy from time to time." Thwackey was perched on a stool surrounded by a full suits of drums. It wasn't a kit so much as a complete, percussive orchestra. She licked her lips. "Ready to hear some good shit? I've been planning this one for the last year." "It hasn't been that long!" "It has since we've been here." "Fair, and okay I'm almost ready." He stuck in a pair of wireless earbuds, then put on his protective earmuffs, and then picked out a guitar. "Whoa, you play?" "I'm getting the hang of it. Like I said I've been busy." "Hell yeah man. Let's rock this place!" She pulled the sticks from her hair and smacked out a quick warmup riff across about a third of the drums, kicks, cymbals and assorted chimes, bells, and whistles that the place had to offer. Big Bee grinned, took up a power stance facing Rian, and in the privacy of the soundproof room they rocked the goddamn world. Thwackey has been refreshed to +15 Very Rare

"Whoa! You didn't have to do that!" Bee said, grinning from ear to ear. "It's not even my birthday!" He took the gift, inspecting it from all sides. "Wow you really went all out with this one!" "Hohoho," Delibird chuckled. "Is this my name written in puff paint? But you have flippers! This is wild." He shook it, but whatever was inside was wrapped in layers of paper or something, and it didn't make any noise. "Should I guess?" "HOHO!" Delibird said, ecstatic at the idea. "It's socks!" Delibird smiled smugly, a true achievement when you have a beak. "Okay okay. Not socks. Uhhh, a book? No it's too square. But you padded it! God this is a mystery." Delibird looked on, loving every moment. "A Christmas sweater. Oh! A BAD Christmas sweater! Did I already say socks? A 12-pack of Pokeballs! Size 27 Getaway Crocs! Old Amber! Thundercuffs! Tickets to a digital concert! A new sufboard!" Delibird smiled. It gestured to the box. "Open it?" Bee pulled off the immaculate ribbon. The flaps of the box collapsed outwards, spilling delicately packed paper and sparkling glitter across Bee's lap. His eyes lit up with excitement. As he held up a pair of socks. "How did you know!" Delibird increased to Very Rare!
