Greg finally came out of his small room. He really didn't want to be around anyone, but Amethyst, his Espeon, convinced him. "Are you happy Amethyst?" Greg asked reluctantly.
<The question is, are YOU happy?> Amethyst asked. She had always tried to get Greg to be more social. <Because if you aren't happy, I'm not happy.>
<I'm happy!> Geico, Greg's Sceptile exclaimed, twitching a little. <Do you think they'll have jerky here?> He asked.
<You and your STUPID jerky! I swear you act like a fool around it!> Greg's Primeape, Tarzan yelled.
<At least I'm not a hothead like you!> Geico replied.
"Both of you cool it!" Greg admonished, slapping himself on the head. Geico and Tarzan always fought, and it really annoyed him. "Four of you have to go back into your balls anyway, I'm only allowed to have one Pokémon out at a time! Everybody back in except Synder," Greg said, recalling his other Pokémon. "Want to go to the buffet?" Greg asked her.
<No, I'm not really hungry.> Synder said absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong Synder?" Greg asked. He knew she had something on her mind.
<Well, we're going to be fighting this huge team and if we lose, who knows what will happen? We could be killed.> Synder said. Greg and his team had caught wind of a scheme at this Battle Frontier, so he wanted to check it out.
"We'll just have to risk it," Greg smiled, trying to give her some confidence.
"Hey, did you hear about the people who were shot with tranquilizers and taken away?" One trainer asked another.
"Yeah, they just up and disappeared," The other replied.
"Did you hear that?" Greg asked Synder.
<Yeah.> Synder said
"We need to go look around for some information, this might help us with our investigation," Greg was determined. He heard that Team Magma might be involved with this, so he had to find out.
