The ship slowly drifted along, being pushed left and right by strong wind. Kylani looked to see land coming into view. "Unova ahoy, huh?" she asked. Ghetsis nodded. "Right. We'll sail near Nuvema Town. My lab's nearby it." "Your lab..." Kylani muttered. "Lab... that's it." "Huh?" Ghetsis asked. "Nothing." Kylani replied as she watched the land slowly come closer. At one point, she dozed off on the floor of the ship. When they reached land, Ghetsis yelled "Get up!" and she snapped awake. "W-Wha...?" she muttered groggily, then remembered what was happening. She slowly got to her feet. "There's no reason to be napping. We have a job to do." "Right. Got it." Kylani replied, staring at the land. They were near Nuvema Town, but out of sight from people. They both got off the ship. "Follow me. It's this way." Ghetsis said, and the two of them headed off.
"Pika, wake up!" N yelled, shoving Pika, who had been snoring loudly in the next seat. "W-Wah! Look out, they're gonna-" she cried, then cut herself off as she jolted awake. N, Hex, and Drifty stared at her wide-eyed. "...Uh..." she muttered, looking around. "Oh, uh... sorry. I was having a nightmare." "Pika, you have drool on your face." "Huh?" Pika wiped her mouth with her sleeve. "What was the nightmare about?" Hex asked. "Hmm... well... I was standing next to some kid... then something or someone tried to attack us, and I freaked out..." "Eee, I can tell..." Drifty sighed. "Some kid? Who was it? What did they look like? Was it someone you know?" "Hex, why are you interrogating Pika?" "Because I can, Mr. Maternal Harmonica Groupchat." Hex replied. N started twitching. "What... was that...?!" Luckily, Pika replied to Hex before N could continue. "Hmm... I don't really know... it was a boy... with brown hair and brown eyes, and wearing glasses... he seemed... oddly familiar... like I've seen him before, but I can't remember where..." "Weird." "I know, right?" Then Drifty looked out the window. "Eee! Land ahoy!" "Huh?" the group asked. Then they looked out the windows as well and saw land coming into view. "Next stop, Castelia City! I think!" Hex exclaimed. "Wow... from where we are, Alola isn't even visible..." Pika muttered. "Of course, dummy, Alola's a different region, not the next town, you know." "Wow, really? Wow! We never would've guessed! Wow, thanks, Mr. Harmonica! Wow!" Hex replied sarcastically. Pika and Drifty practically fell over laughing. N's face was going red with anger and he looked like he was about to scream. So Hex, Pika, and Drifty got up and ran around in circles repeatedly yelling "Wow!", "Yahoo!", and "Eee!" repsectively. Many of the people on the ferry gave them nasty looks. "Pika, Hex, Drifty, for frick's sake, sit down!" N yelled angrily. They slowly sulked back to their seats, and all was silent... for a moment. "Alola-ah! Alola-ah! Ah-ah-ah! Alola-ah!" "Eee for the three thee eees!" "Go go rocket blaster shoes!" "Shut up, you idiots! We'll be kicked off the ferry!" N shrieked. Drifty, Pika, and Hex looked at each other, got up again, and burst into song while dancing. "Eee, out where the mountains fell on top of us!" "What?" "Out where lightning hit me in the knee!" "In the knee? What?!" "I can swear there's some ancestral spirits watching me!" "What?!" The people on the ferry were getting more annoyed by the minute. "Eee, I really can't remember this part!" "But it sounded pretty cool!" "And I feel like I'm rollin' around in the mud!" "...What...?" "Eee, eee, eee..." "I want a gyro!" "I'll be holding a gyro 'till the end of the night!" N suddenly stuck out his foot and tripped Pika, and she fell straight to the ground. Hex and Drifty stared at her for a minute, then turned towards N. "You meanie!" Drifty cried and tried to slap N with his ribbons. "Kamikaze!" Hex yelled and leaped into the air, trying to body slam N, but he quickly dodged. "Ow!" she whimpered as she hit the ground. "What is wrong with you-" Suddenly, the ferry docked at a pier. "Oh, we're here, finally..." N muttered. The people on the ferry exited as quickly as possible, trying to get away from Pika, Hex, and Drifty. "Mr. Natural Harmonia Gropius, you're a lamehead." Pika said with her face buried in the floor. N slowly turned towards her, gawking. "...What's a lamehead?" "You." Pika replied. N could hear muffled laughter and whimpering from Hex. Drifty almost fell over laughing at him and repeatedly said "Lamehead!" while pointing at him. N groaned angrily as Hex and Pika both got to their feet. "Come on." N said as they got out of the ferry.
