Description
They were back! Everyone who had disappeared with Jasmine had finally returned to Tao. Chloe, Myra and Opal had spent the whole morning going around the village visiting all their friends who had been missing for so long. Most of them didn’t really want to talk about what had happened after they had jumped in time the second time, but everybody seemed to be glad to be back home.
“Maaan”, Myra exclaimed as they were walking through the town square, “it’s awesome to see all of them again! I was scared that Current, Sherry and all the rest were gonna be stuck in the past forever.”

At that point, Myra and Chloe noticed that Opal had stopped and was staring at something at the distance.

“Hey… Isn’t that our leader? M… Matt? No…”

“It’s Mike”, Chloe corrected with a slight smile. “And… you’re right! Look Myra, Mike’s evolved too!”

A familiar cowboy hat wearing figure was standing next to the tree house entrance. The Charmeleon seemed to be having a talk with someone at the moment.

“It IS Mike! Awesome!” cheered Myra as they hurried closer. “Hiii Mi-“

Something about the tone in Mike’s voice made Myra stop her greeting. Her smile dropped a notch. They still couldn’t hear what he was saying, but they could see who he was talking to. It was Chill. As they kept getting closer, they started to make out the words of their conversation.

“But...!” Mike seemed to be objecting to something.

“Maple is with her mom”, Chill stated. “They did NOT go home, Syrup told me that. She didn’t say where she was going, though. She seemed kinda annoyed you just left Maple here all alone. I was kinda annoyed at that, too!”

The atmosphere definitely felt chilly. None of the girls seemed to know if they should try to interrupt the conversation. Just when Chill was about to finish talking, Myra opened her mouth. But at the same time Mike’s face was twisted by anger.

“Rrrr...” he growled. “What do you even know!? I don’t think YOU of all people should be telling ME how to feel about my sister!”

“At least mine can still walk!”

It was quiet for several seconds. Chill seemed to be at a loss of words, as were everyone else. Mike went on.

“Where is your sister, huh!? Not here? Wow, you left her in Snowy Village and ran away back to Tao, huh? Don’t talk to ME about MY sister!”
Chill’s face was a mixture of astonishment, grief and slight fear. “Mike, what’s wrong with you?”

“NOTHING is wrong with me! ANYONE would be mad to come back to find someone trying to steal their guild away!” Mike yelled.

Chill looked like he couldn’t believe his ears. “What the hell, dude? You can’t steal a guild! Pokemon work for a leader they recognize and trust, they’re not things you can own or collect! I came back because I heard things were getting hectic, and sure enough, they were! No leader, no direction, no nothing! What have you guys been doing while I was gone?”

Mike was furious. His eyes kept bouncing to different directions. “You have NO IDEA what I’ve done to keep this guild together! Now get out!” Mike’s eyes fixated on Chloe, Myra and Opal and he finally seemed to notice their presence. He pointed at them while turning to yell at Chill again. “I bet you’ve never killed anyone for these guys, have you!?”
Myra and Chloe were shifting uncomfortably. What was Mike talking about all of a sudden? Killing someone?

Chill seemed really uncomfortable as well. “Uh, dude, what?”

“Yeah, like I thought! You got nothing to say to me now, huh? I’ve done what you COULDN’T do! It even cried at the end, but I still killed it for MY guild! I didn’t even turn my sister into a cripple, like YOU did! I’m a better brother and leader than you ever were! Now GET OUT!”
It looked like Mike had used all of his energy. Chill stared at him quietly. “Mike, I think you need to leave. I don’t know what happened to you, but you’re not the Mike I entrusted this guild to in the past.”
Mike’s face twisted in anger again as he turned to Chloe, Myra and Opal. “I’M the leader! Rescuers, do as I say! REMOVE HIM!”

Nobody moved.

“Mike, you need to leave”, Chill said firmly.
Chill turned to look Myra in the eye. Myra stared back, and when she turned to Mike, her eyes were noticeably colder than before.

“Chill is right.”

This time it was Mike who couldn’t believe his ears. “This is fucking unbelievable! You’re all... you’re all falling for this crap?!”

Myra dashed forward to hold Mike’s arms, as Chloe wrapped him with Vine Whip. “Mike, it’s… it’s the best if you go now”, Chloe said with a weak voice.

Together they carried struggling Mike away. For some time, his furious screeches were echoing from the walls of the tree house.

“Don’t touch me!”
-----------------------------

“Chill…?”
Myra peeked inside from the main entrance of the Rescuer office. When they had finally managed to make Mike leave, they returned to check on Chill.

He was sitting at behind the desk, looking more tired than ever.

“Oh, hi! Thanks for the help… back there…” he said, managing a slight smile.

A long silence followed.

“What… Am I supposed to do now?” Chill asked quietly. “It seems like we were left with a quite big amount of debts… And we don’t even have any other leaders. Even that Fresnel dude clearly didn’t have it in him. I have my sister to take care of too, so I can’t get us out of this situation very easily. It feels like this guild is…”

Everyone was startled when Myra suddenly slammed her hands onto Chill’s desk. Her eyes were blazing with determination. “Don’t worry Chill! There’s got to be a way to make everything better!”

“We’ll help! No matter what, you can count on us!!”

Dialogue between Chill and Mike is written by . You can read the whole script here !

I named this "Event 8" even though it doesn't have anything to do with the actual event. Think of it as a prologue for the next 'Mission'.

I really wanted to illustrate this scene! Even though it follows the original script very closely, I already start slightly deviating from the PMD-E canon at the end part. Just another part left and I'll be ready to work on the next comic!
