So yeah I feel like I have tradition of posting a special chapter every November 8th.

Because it's someone's bdayyyyyyyyy

All the other OCs need bdays tho. Hahahaha.

This chapter is all over the place. Whoops. I kinda rushed it.

--

Milani, Jace, Gary, Paul, Dawn, Hau, Brock, Jonny, Tokoyami, Nejire, Natasha, Kasumi and Bossun are still stuck in the Hoenn region.

As to how this happened...you'll find out in a future chapter as this part happens after the MFTG.

They wanted to go back to the House of Elemeno, but they had no idea how to go back there without the teleportation system and soaring to the sky.

They decided to check the two major ports of the Hoenn region, the one in Slateport and the one Lilycove. They hoped that they could find a route that could get them back to the HoE on foot.

They divided their group into two. The first one was Brock's team who went to Slateport. Brock's team had Tokoyami, Nejire, Natasha, Bossun and Hau. The rest were the ones who went to Lilycove.

If one team managed to find out a route that would bring them back to the HoE, they will just ride a ship to the other city.

Seems like a good idea? Maybe not.

Anyway...the Slateport team...well...we're not gonna focus on them on this one, but if you want a chapter on them, let me know.

Here's what happened to the Lilycove team...they have arrived at the harbor.

Kasumi: Oooh! Did you guys find a way back home?! I miss the rest of PoPiPa already!

Jace: Unfortunately, there's no ship to the Elemeno Island or whatever.

Milani: Great.

Gary: Weeeeeeeeee. I guess we'll just wait here until the teleportation system is fixed?

Dawn: There is a contest hall here!

Paul: Ugh.

Dawn: C'mon, Paul! Cheer up!

Gary: Yeah, dude. You don't have to deal with the cheer squad while you're here. I mean, unless you miss your own cheer squad.

Milani: Isn't Barry the only member of his cheer squad?

Paul: Shut up.

Jonny: Wait...Milani? Isn't there a harbor in LaRousse too? Maybe they have a ship there or something?

Milani: There is, but it's not as huge as this one or the one in Slateport.

Kasumi: Oooh! There's a mall here! I might be able to find some souvenirs for my bandmates!

Dawn: I guess some shopping won't hurt, right?

Kasumi: Dawn! Let's go!

Gary: Wait...how come Kasumi is our only non-Pokemon Peep here?

Jace: I don't know.

Milani: For the Kasumemes.

Gary: wut

Paul: Whatever.

Jace: *sigh*

Gary: I betcha Drew's having a date with Jace's bass again.

Jace: Yeah probably.

Gary: Dude, me being here means I'm your Best Man, right?

Jace: Eh?

Milani: Hmm...do you think we'll be able to make it there on time?

Gary: On time for what?

Milani: Something.

Jace: Well, I don't how important that something is, Melanie.

Milani: MILANI. And yes, it is pretty important. Sheesh.

Kasumi: Oh! I got a message from Arisa! She said that Elemeno said that Monika and the others are trying to fix it!

Milani: It didn't take them that long to fix the portal to the OC world, so this one should take them...uh...

Kasumi: They said that they'll try to direct the portal to Drew's house instead of the secret base. Wait...Drew's house? Drew's not even here!

Jonny: Looks like we're going to Milani's place then!

Milani: Wait...

Kasumi: YAY!

Dawn: Let's get some supplies, and let's head to LaRousse City!

And there, they were able to get on the express train to LaRousse.

Kasumi: WHOA! Electric panels!

Little robot dude: WELCOME TO LAROUSSE CITY. HERE ARE THE IDs FOR THE FIRST TIME VISITORS.

Dawn: Cool!

Kasumi: Yay! To Milani's house! Wait...which one..

Milani: This one-WHOA

Jonny: Uh...

Jace: She stepped on the wrong one again.

Milani: Take the blue one, guys! Hehehe...my bad!

Gary: You'd think that she knows this place considering she's from here.

Paul: Yep.

Dawn: This is so cool!

Kasumi: There are mini robots everywhere!

Milani: We live in the more "natural" area of the city where there aren't any mini robots.

Jonny: Milani, I think we should head to a Pokemon Center first. Let's contact Brock so that the other group can be informed.

Milani: Right...uh...which one...

Jonny: I think the yellow path? That's what I remembered.

Milani: Right. Hahahaha...

Jace: Why does he know your hometown more than you anyway?

Milani: You know how I am, Facey.

Jace: Yeah...

And so, the squad heads to the Pokemon Center. Dawn was the one who called Brock's team. After the call...

Jace: Aight...let's...uh...

Gary: OH NO! Where did Milani, Jonny and Kasumeme go?!

Dawn: Maybe they went to Milani's home first?

Paul: Huh.

Jace: They didn't tell you anything?
Gary: Oh! Here's a message from Mils. She said that they needed to get some stuff at the supermarket.

Jace: Why do they need to buy some groceries now?

Gary: Idk fam. She said that she brought Jonny so that someone will carry the bags. Kasumi went with her to make things not awkward.

Jace: Huh...

Dawn: But why didn't she just bring Jace with her?

Jace: Eh...whatever.

Paul: Sure.

At the supermarket...

Kasumi: Milani! How about these sprinkles? They have stars!

Milani: Uh...I don't think he'd like that, though.

Kasumi: They make everything better!

Jonny: I found some pasta and some spaghetti sauce.

Milani: Gasp! No...he doesn't like premade spag sauce.

Jonny: So we have to make our own sauces? That probably will take hours.

Milani: Mom said that dad bought too much tomatoes again, so I asked her to make the sauce already.

Kasumi: Um...chocolate, strawberry or caramel sauce? I like chocolate!

Milani: We'll go with caramel. Anyway, we seem to have gotten most of our baking stuff. Oooh...I wonder if we can find cake pans here. I don't know if we have those at home.

Jonny: Maybe we should have just bought a cake instead of making one.

Milani: But this one is special!

And well...after shopping, they went back to the Pokemon Center!

Milani: Let's go, guys!

Gary: Need help, frens?

Kasumi: We're gonna-

Jonny: Kasumi, it's supposed to be a secret.

Dawn: Oooh...what secret do you guys have?

Gary: SPILL THE TEA, SIS.

Jace: Uh...huh.

Milani: WAIT...uh...Gary, carry this. Um...I still need to...uh...

Jace: You alright?

Jonny: Milani, it's fine! I bet you this will already be awesome!

Milani: But...

Jace: I still have no idea what's going on. Are we gonna be cooking for the Lionel family or something? I can help with that.

Milani: NO, YOU ARE NOT.

Jace: Eh?!

Milani: Well...whatever. Jonny, Kasumi and I got this. You guys can just sit pretty at our home. Maybe you guys can check out Auntie Rosalie's shop.

Kasumi: Wait, that's the shop with the rose scented toiletries, right?!

Milani: Yep.

Dawn: Oh yeah! I should buy another bottle of the face mist. It really works well as a setting spray for makeup too!

Kasumi: Aww...now I wanna...

Milani: Kasumeme, you are part of our group.

Kasumi: I think you and Jonny can do it!

Milani: DON'T LEAVE ME WITH HIM.

Jonny: Uh...

Milani: Fine. PAUL! You're helping me.

Paul: No.

Milani: *whispers something to Paul*

Paul: Fine. I'll help.

Gary: How about Gary?!

Milani: Do whatever tf you want!

Gary: As Jace's Best Man, I shall just chill with the man himself.

Jace: Dude.

And just like that...they arrive at the shop where Milani and Drew's home is also located.

Kasumi: Yay! The shop! I'll buy stuff for PoPiPa too!

Dawn: I'll buy stuff for May...I guess. Wait...May just gets them for free. Never mind.

Kasumi: How come?

Dawn: The shop belongs to Drew's mom.

Kasumi: OH. Do you get free stuff from the cheer squad too?

Dawn: Yeah...

At Milani's home...

Milani: Hello!

Gary: Why does it smell like tomatoes in here?

Jonny: For the pasta that we're gonna cook!

Milani: Because we ain't using premade sauces because of some picky boy.

Gary: But premade sauce is fine!

Paul: I'm not choosy.

Jace: Homemade sauces are so much better, though.

Milani: To the kitchen!

Jonny and Paul: *follows Milani to the kitchen*

Jace: ...

Gary: ...this makes me the Best Man, right?

Jace: Not really.

???: Mils! Guess who is home because the portal is broken!

Jace: Wait...

Gary: The question marks? Is that Cristofe?

???: DAMN IT. WHY IS GARY HERE?!

Jace: Big oof.

Gary: Hai Leafy.

Leaf: Hi, Jace!

Jace: Hello.

Leaf: Yeah...I heard the cheerleaders are back.

Gary: ...yeah

Leaf: I thought I scared them away...whatever! I'll just help Mils in the kitchen!

Dawn: We're back!

Kasumi: Look! I got the shampoo and skincare stuff too!

Dawn: You can do the Korean skincare with the stuff they got there. Aww...where's Paul?

Jace: Helping Milani and Jonny in the kitchen. I think Milani bribed him or something.

Dawn: Why aren't you the one helping her?

Jace: She told me not to for some reason.

Gary: Aww...she missed Paul!

Dawn: Dude. Oh...hi, Leaf!

Leaf: Yo.

Gary: Hai Leafy.

Leaf: Stop being 2015 Gary.

Gary: The old Gary can't come to the phone. BOI. I missed making my T-Swift references.

Leaf: Oof. Well, I knew you were trouble, so I yeeted skeeted out.

Gary: Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me.

Leaf: Now he's long gone. Probably laughing at me. Should've realized...that Gary's too cheap. (BTW, is it just me, or is the video for the parody gone?! Some of the NateWantsToBattle parodies are still there, but the Gary Oak one seems to be gone. Sad.)

Dawn: OOOF. (Don't hurt me, LeafGreenshippers)

Jace: Wow.

Milani: HEY! HEY! HEY! No fighting!

Leaf: Hai

Milani: Kasumeme, the balloons!

Kasumi: Oh yeah! I'll blow them up!

Dawn: I'll help!

Milani: And uh...uh...

Gary: Are we having a birthday party or something?

Jace: Birthday party...

Milani: Uh....

Jace: Milani.

Milani: Happy birthday, Jace!

Gary: Wait wut

Leaf: Dude. Did you seriously forget it again?

Jace: So...is that what all this is about?

Milani: Um...

Jace: C'mon, just let me help in the kitchen already. I don't trust Jonny with the pasta.

Jonny: But...it's your birthday pasta!

Jace: Well...Gary busted you guys...kinda. So...I might as well help, right?

Milani: Fine.

Jace: And is that caramel cake?

Milani: Yes. I wanted to do a caramel cheesecake cake, but that's apparently very time consuming.

Jace: We can do that some other time when we get back to the HoE.

Milani: Yaaaas. Well...

Jace: Okay...we're just gonna wait for it to bake...and good.

Jonny: Yay!

Jace: I forgot you were still here.

Milani: Ooh! I wanna see what Dawn and Kasumeme bought!

Paul: Me too.

Jace: I forgot you were here too.

Jonny: So...happy birthday, dude!

Jace: Yeah...thanks.

Jonny: You're pretty happy, eh?

Jace: And you're pretty dumb.

Jonny: Eh?!

Jace: Nothing.

Jonny: You really mean a lot to Milani, huh. Even in a sudden event like this, she still wants you to have a great birthday.

Jace: *mutters* This could have been you if you didn't friendzone her years ago.

Jonny: Wut

Jace: Nothing.

And so...the food eventually was done cooking. The cake is done baking. The squad is now at the table enjoying the good food.

Meanwhile...in the House of Elemeno...

Barry: Man, that's taking forever.

Arisa: Ugh...get fixed already!

Tae: Aww...you really miss Kasumi, don't you?

Arisa: I-I don't miss her at all! I feel bad about the others since they have to deal with her!

Monika: Guys, just relax. Monika's got this!

Barry: Hey guys! It's Jace's birthday according to my calendar!

Helena: Cool! I wonder if they're having a birthday party there or something.

Julianne: Aww! I wanna be part of the party!

Tae: Be part of Poppin'Party?

Tsubaki: Monika!

Drew: Don't pressure her...or else.

Tsubaki: Ahem. I just have to make sure that Fujisaki is safe since he is part of the Sket Dance crew.

Drew: I still can't believe we're missing Jace's party.

Barry: WE HAVE TO PREPARE A PARTY FOR HIM WHEN THEY GET BACK HERE.

Arisa: Eh?! I got a text from Kasumi. She said that they're having a small feast for Jace's party. She even sent pics.

Tae: Aww...that cake looks pretty good.

Back in Milani's home...

Milani: So...that was good. I guess we'll have to stay here for the night.

Kasumi: Yay! Sleepover!

Dawn: We can try the funny face masks we bought!

Kasumi: Oooh! I want the one with the Skitty print!

Dawn: Hmm...I do wanna try the Glaceon one. Maybe the Beautifly one? The Blaziken one?

Milani: I want the Blaziken one!

Kasumi: Oooh! The guys should try them too!

Paul: No.

Dawn: Aww...Paul will look cute with this Munchlax print one!

Milani: Wait...why are the masks...they're all May's Pokemon.

Leaf: Oh yeah! Ya know May's like part of the family now.

Dawn: Are they engaged?!

Jace: Wow...I wonder who Drew's Best Man is gonna be.

Milani: I'll just be Best Woman or something. Best Maid? Idk.

Leaf: That is possible.

Jace: Best Girl?

Milani: Wut

Kasumi: Yay! Let's just rest!

Jace: Oh yeah...thanks for food, guys.

Gary: No prob, Jace-o. Best Man's gonna do what he's gotta do.

Paul: You didn't do anything.

Jonny: That is true.

Gary: WAIT-

Jonny: I'm gonna be Jace's Best Man.

Jace: wait what

Milani: Wow. So uh...let's just get some rest, guys!

Jace: Yep. Hopefully, we can go back to the HoE soon. Melanie.

Milani: Call me by my name when you are in my home.

Jace: So...I can call you Melanie-

Milani: HEY!

Gary: Drew is missing out on so much. LOL.

Well...

They probably did go back. Yeah. Sure. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
