" It's so cool your girlfriend has a Togetic." Dawn said as Ash proudly presented his whole scrapbook of the rare pokemon, from day one to the day the original trio broke ways, then when they met in Hoenn, and when Misty was releasing Togetic.

" Yeah, we're really lucky. I'll Ash Misty to send me Togetic."

He took a deep breath.

" HEY MISTY-"

" ASH-"

" COULD YOU SEND ME TOGETIC?"

Ash blinked. " Wait....."

He turned to the hall and ran, and bumped into Misty as she ran into the room.

" Did you call Togetic?" They asked one another in perfect synchrony.

" Wait, I don't have Togetic."

" Do you have Togetic?" They asked as they pointed at the other.

" No?!"

" Wait, so if you don't have Togetic, and I don't have Togetic...."

They stared at each other.

Then they let an ear piercing scream.

And to top that off, it was double.

" WHY ARE THEY SO LOUD?!" Dawn yelled as she covered her ears.

" YOU GET USED TO IT THEY YELL ALL THE TIME!" Brock yelled back.

" WE DON'T HAVE TOGETIC! IT'S LOOOOOOST!" The couple yelled.

Gary sighed. " Just check the lab. She coulda escaped anywhere."

They stopped screaming.

" Hey, good idea." Ash said.

Misty nodded. " Let's get to it."

Then, they started to trash the room- throwing chairs and tables and books of shelves and bookshelves and whiteboards and.... Well everything in sight.

" Hey what's going on in here?" Someone asked.

The couple paused and turned.

Wisty was standing there, in the doorway, with a pink bandana on her head.

" What happened?" She repeated.

Ash and Misty got an idea and slowly started to inch towards Wisty. " Oh, Wisty...."

She stepped back, sweatdrop forming. " Yeah?"

" Can we please have your Togepi?"

Wisty shook her head. " No way -"

They lunged at her.

Wisty screamed, threw a Pokeball, and grabbed onto the Pokemon, Eevee clutched in her arms. " ONIX DIG!"

Onix digged, and the couple fell onto the ground.

" Well, that's not gonna work." Ash said as he rubbed his head.

" Yeah, we should apologize to Wisty." Misty agreed.

" Just as soon as she's not traumatized....." Ash muttered. " Okay, back to Togetic. Where is she?"

Misty snapped her fingers. " The other rooms!"

Ash clapped his hands. " Right!"

" Wait, both of you, stop!" Professor Rowan yelled.

But they had already taken off.

Rowan sighed. " Oh dear."

In the span of ten minutes, Rowan, Dawn, Gary and Brock had saved-

* Two flower pots

* Two potions

* A gun

* A knife

* Ten drawers

* A bunch of trophies

* Pokeballs

* The computer

* A computer chip

* A whole 80 inch flat screen TV

And more.

Gary panted slightly. " Ash... Calm... Down...."

Ash, still frantically looking around the room, barely heard Gary's words. "But we have to find Togetic, Gary! What if she's in danger?!" He shoved a stack of books aside, knocking over a lamp.

Dawn, holding her head, groaned. "Ash, you're going to destroy the whole lab at this rate!"

Misty, equally frantic, was tossing things left and right. "I can't believe we lost her! Where would she go?!"

Brock, standing in the corner, crossed his arms. "Maybe you should try thinking for a second instead of going all wild animal on everything, Ash."

" I CAN'T HELP IT!" Ash yelled as he threw a freaking couch

A whole. Couch.

It took all four humans to safely catch and put it on the ground before they had to dodge a table.

Gary ducked just in time as the table came flying toward him. "Ash, what are you doing?! This isn’t a wrestling match!"

Rowan sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose. "At this rate, there won’t be a lab left to conduct research in. Ash, Misty—enough!"

Misty ignored him as she scrambled to her feet, tossing a box of papers aside. "She could be anywhere! What if she’s stuck? Or scared?"

"Or eating?" Ash added, flipping open a cupboard and sending plates flying. "She does like snacks—OW!" He rubbed his head after Dawn bonked him with a nearby notebook.

"Enough, Ash!" Dawn snapped. "If you keep throwing things, you’re going to make it harder to find her! Have you even considered just calling her name?"

Misty paused mid-throw, a trophy in her hand. "Call her name? Huh… that could work."

"THAT’S GENIUS!" Ash bellowed. He cupped his hands around his mouth. "TOGETIIIIIC! WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU?"

Misty joined in, her voice just as loud. "TOGETIC! COME TO MAMA!"

Gary groaned, covering his ears. "And now they’re yelling again. Fantastic."

Brock, trying to salvage another lamp before it fell over, muttered under his breath, "You really don’t get used to it, Dawn."

Dawn, now holding two rescued Pokéballs, gave Brock a wry smile. "I figured."

Suddenly, a faint sparkle floated into the room, catching everyone’s attention. A soft, melodic cry followed.

"Toge…tic!"

Everyone froze.

Ash and Misty whirled around, their eyes wide. "TOGETIC!" they shouted in unison.

The Pokémon hovered in the doorway, looking as calm and unbothered as ever. She tilted her head, clearly confused by the chaos around her.

Misty dropped the trophy and bolted toward Togetic. "Oh, thank Arceus! You’re okay!"

Ash was right behind her. "Where were you? We’ve been looking everywhere!"

Togetic chirped happily, completely oblivious to the destruction. She floated up and patted Misty on the head with her tiny hand before landing gracefully on Ash’s shoulder.

Professor Rowan stepped forward, his arms crossed and an unimpressed look on his face. "It appears your Togetic was just outside, enjoying the sun, completely unaware of the commotion you caused."

Ash and Misty glanced around the room, realizing the absolute mess they’d created. Broken chairs, overturned shelves, and scattered papers filled the space.

"Uh… oops," Ash said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Misty looked at Rowan with an apologetic grin. "We, uh, might’ve overreacted just a bit."

Rowan gave them a pointed glare. "A bit? You destroyed half my lab!"

Gary folded his arms and smirked. "I told you to check the lab first, didn’t I?"

Dawn rolled her eyes. "At least Togetic’s fine. But you guys better start cleaning this mess up!"

Brock nodded. "And by ‘you guys,’ she means you two," he added, pointing at Ash and Misty.

Ash sighed heavily, crouching down to pick up a stack of papers. "Well, at least we found her… right?"

Misty pouted but joined him in cleaning. "Yeah, but next time, we need to be more organized."

Rowan raised an eyebrow. "Next time?"

"Just kidding!" Misty quickly said, offering him a nervous laugh.

As they cleaned, Togetic floated happily above them, clearly amused by all the attention she was getting. Wisty peeked back into the room, her Eevee still perched on her shoulder. "You two really are something else."

Ash and Misty paused and exchanged a sheepish glance. "Yeah," Ash said, grinning despite everything. "But at least we’ve got Togetic back."

"And we didn’t traumatize too many people," Misty added with a grin. Wisty raised an eyebrow at that, still clutching her Eevee protectively.

"Uh-huh. Sure," she muttered, retreating back out the door. "I’ll leave you to… whatever this is."
