A/N - I don't own Pokemon and Megaman X. They both belong to their respective owners: Gamefreak and Capcom. Now, enjoy it!
"Speaking"
"Pokemon translation"
("Thoughts")

Now, there is the awkward silence as nobody knows how to react to Axl's sudden outburst... and he has the brilliant idea of continuing his outburst.

"Seriously?! Who's bright idea is it to put a kid in charge?!" Axl called out, "Seriously?! That is such a dumb idea! Am I the only one realising that putting a kid like him in charge of a massive, rescue organisation is a shit idea? Like, don't you have someone who is more qualified to do this-"

Suddenly, Zero covers Axl's mouth to stop his ranting and X waves his hands nervously while apologising, "I-I'm so sorry about Axl's ranting! He... he can be rather blunt at times. I apologise for his rudeness!"

"Fine, but only because I want to keep this quick and short," Gladion told him, "I heard from Gate you two adopted two of our baby Pokemons, correct?"

"Yeah, and?" Zero asked him.

"Treat them well," Gladion told them, "And Wicke here has your clothes all dried up and cleaned. Wicke? Would you please?"

"O-Of course Mr president!" Wicke understood as she stands up and opens a brown bag, which contains all of the trio's clothes. "Here you three go."

"Ah! Thank you, miss Wicke!" X thanked her.

"You welcome," Wicke responded. "So, where are you three heading now?"

"Well, we're planning on heading to the first gym for Zero's challenge," X told her.

"And you don't want to participate?" Wicke asked, which he shakes his head, "Why not?"

"Simple; I don't want to see my Pokemons hurt," X told her honestly, "I'll happily do something else other than battling if I have to be honest."

"Well, what about Pokemon contests?" Wicke recommended. "There is one in Floaroma town, which is simply up the north from here."

"Great... but... what's a contest, exactly?" X asked her.

"Ah! A contest is where you show off your Pokemons' moves to three judges and a crowd," Wicke explained, "There isn't any battling, instead you dress up your Pokemons and they dance around,"

"Really? That... honestly sounds like fun!" X cheered happily with starry eyes.

("Sounds pretty boring to me,") Zero thought, ("I'll stick with Pokemon battles than.")

("YAWN!") Axl thought as well.

"I'm glad you think so," Wicke cheered, "Anyways, you three need to change your clothes and continue your journey,"

"Of course, thank you for the help!" X thanked her, and turns to the other two, "Let's grab something to eat for breakfast,"

Axl pushes Zero's hand away from his mouth, and gasps, "Oh yeah! I'm starving right now!"

"I guess some foods before we go out would be wise," Zero admitted. "Also. No lemonade! You know how much I hate lemonade!"

"Ha ha, of course, of course," X agreed with him as the trio head to the register.

"DIPS!" Axl pushes them aside as he starts ordering like crazy, "I want pancakes! I want waffles! I want bacon! And scramble eggs, and-"

"For crying out loud, Axl!" Zero called out. "Do you want to be obese or some shit?!"

"I'm hungry damn it!" Axl complained, "And I think your Piplup is influencing your personality already!"

"Okay, what on Earth do you mean by that?!"

"Guys, please stop fighting!" X begged them as Axl and Zero continues arguing; confusing the poor register quite a bit.

Gladion and Sigmund face palms, while Gate and Wicke chuckles nervously, where the president looks at Gate and asks, "Are you sure lending two of our rescued Pokemons to them is a good idea?"

"I am sure," Gate answered honestly, "After all, X is the son of Thomas Light... I'm not sure about Axl and Zero though, but X does seem to trust them a great deal, so it should be fine."

"... Mmm... I suppose so..." Gladion took a deep breath while the trio is fighting among each other and X trying to stop them. ("... Sort of reminds me of Selena and Hau...")

While he watches the trio, he sees a flashback of himself, where he wore a more punk like clothes, arguing with a boy with black hair and dark skin, while a girl with short black hair, black coloured eyes and a silly red hat, who is trying to stop them.

Gladion smiles fondly as he thinks back to his time with his friends back in Alola.

("I wonder what's Selena and Hau are doing right now?") Gladion thought, ("It doesn't matter. Right now, I need to focus on my part... for Lillie's sake.")

"President?" Wicke called out softly, which snaps Gladion out, "Are you okay?"

"Yes... I'm fine," Gladion told her, "I was just thinking about Selena, Lillie and the others, that's all,"

"Hehe, you truly care for them deep down, don't you?" Wicke giggled.

"... Despite how naive they can be... I will admit one thing," Gladion admitted with a soft smile, "They are truly a unique bunch, honestly,"
