Can’t you see I’m having a conversation with Lana?”\n“Master, this is important! I need to talk to you now!” \nEzma lets out a sigh and looks to the celebi. “What’s the problem, Cinthia?”\n“It’s the runt riolu! Ever since the tomb expedition, he’s been harassing me non-stop!”\n“What do you mean by that…?”\n“Whenever I’m doing something or by myself, he approaches me and constantly wants to talk about us! He just doesn’t listen to me!”\n“Calm down, Cindy.”\n“How can I calm down?! I can’t stand him always pestering me! I also can’t take it with him always trying to do things for me!” Ezma asks what she means by that. “He’s always trying to give me gifts and seeking attention from me! Why can’t he get the hint that I don’t want anything to do with him already?!”\n“Master Ezma! Master Ezma!” Kenji appears, angrily heading up to the group. “I need to talk to you!”\n“Well, hello to you, too, Kenji,” Ezma says, sarcastically. “And what seems to be the matter…?” \n“The runt riolu… I was in the training room when… he came in and… and… He ruined everything!”\n“What do you mean he ruined everything…?”\n“The equipment… the whole room… it’s all destroyed!

All right! It’s enough! I will handle the riolu! Please leave!” The group keeps silence and exit the room, except for Cindy. She sinks back down into her chair and slams her paws on the table. “Ugh, I can’t stand him anymore!”\n“Ezma, may I ask you something?” Lana calmly begins. “Why do you and the others bother keeping the riolu around? What is his purpose in your guild?”\n“He has no purpose, Lana! He was left here as an egg by his mother… And you know how she was…”\n“Ah yes, I’m familiar with that story. But why take him in? Why didn’t you give him up to anyone?”\n“You think we haven’t tried that?! No one wants him!”\n“I can see why.” \n“Master.” The mew turns her head to Cindy. “I think it’s time the riolu should leave.”\n“You mean, kick him out of the guild?” Lana questions. “Do you think that’s wise?”\n“His reckless behavior is dragging us all down! He’s already caused more damage than good! And what is his excuse? He always states it was an ‘accident’ and that he’s trying to learn!”\n“I… am not oppose to that,” Ezma states. “He can care for himself.”\n“It would be a feasible option,” claims Lana. “However, you must consider that-”\n“Hello, ladies,” interrupts a familiar voice.

There’s no excuse for your actions!”\n“Cindy, stop!” orders Ezma. “You may be second-in-command, but I don’t need you to speak for me!” She faces Zach. “However, she isn’t wrong… You have caused hell, and it hasn’t ceased.”\n“Please make an exception,” Zach tells her. “I just want to show you all that I am part of this family.”\n“Get out of here. You are not one of us, and never will be.”\n“Come on, Ezma… I-” He takes a step forward, but loses his balance when slipping on some spilled icing. The cake gets tossed into the air before landing on all the pokemon, covering them in cake batter and icing. Zach stares at the three, icing-covered pokemon with eyelids peeled back. “Uh… oops… I’m so sorry… I-”\n“That… is… IT!!!” Ezma clenches her paws. “I have so had it with you!

Zach looks at her, shooting her a sorrowful look as if pleading with her without speaking. “Bye bye, Runt!” She hurls her arm, causing Zach to be tossed out of the base.
