Era & Riley & Celus
When the package arrived, Era took it from the Pelipper, thanking him before he flew off once more. The Pikachu had been anticipating news from Starter Villa ever since they'd left, eager to hear if their efforts had paid off. She was not to be disappointed; she called Riley and Celus over when she brought it inside and held out the letter with a bright smile. "Look what Luciano sent us!" she said cheerfully. As the other two read over the letter, Era smiled from ear to ear, pleased with the note's contents. Apparently all was going well with their efforts to create a new era of peace in Starter Villa. She trusted that Luciano and the others would be able take care of everything; the Rainbow Alliance as he had called it seemed to be off to a very promising start. "Isn't it great?" she said cheerily, "It looks like they'll be able to pull it off after all."
"Yeah, it's great!" Riley said, tail wagging happily, "I wish them the best of luck!" The Eevee was in a very good mood already, and this made it all the better. Celus nodded in agreement with the more enthusiastic Riley, but although he was more subdued, it was easy to tell that he was very pleased as well. "Did you look in the box yet?" he asked, glancing curiously at it. It was really quite large for a set of rewards for a mission, so, needless to say, he was curious as to its contents.
Era shook her head, "I haven't looked yet," she said with a smile, "So we can all look together." Riley beamed with delight and cut down the tape with a claw to open the top of the box. Peering inside they found so many things that at first all Era could do was stare at it speechlessly, wondering how on earth their friends had managed to find all of this. "Look at all this!" she managed to say finally, staring inside at all that lay there, "How can we accept all this?"
Celus smiled slightly, "They gave it of their own accord Era, they wanted us to have it." When the Pikachu opened her mouth in protest, one of the Ivysaur's vines whisked across it, silencing her. "Just appreciate what you get," he said, peering down into the box.
Riley had already started removing some of the items within, staring in wonder at them. There were a Charcoal, Mystic Water, and Miracle Seed lying next to a sack of PD and in his paws currently Riley held a shining Leaf Storm TM that he shortly after set on the ground. "There's more too," the Eevee said, "But I'd prefer it if you got the rest." It was all too clear why in a moment, atop the remaining contents of the box were a trio of Evolutionary Stones, two of which would affect Riley in ways he might not desire. Era obliged and removed the remaining contents. Soon the items included a Water Stone, Fire Stone, and Leaf Stone, three Mission Tickets, and a note scrawled out in an interesting script.
"What's this I wonder...?" Celus said, picking up the note and holding it so all could see. The Ivysaur's gaze changed to one of bemusement as the writer was very familiar.
Hello mates, you might remember me, the name's Bacca.
Things are going well here, and we're managing to get along quite nicely.
We all are really grateful for what you've done.
In case you are short on Team Members, it would be my pleasure to come help you out.
Just let me know if you need me,
Bacca

"Who's this Bacca?" Era asked Celus, "Was he that Turtwig who was with you when you met us at the center of the Villa?"
"They're one and the same," Celus replied, "Of course, it's up to you whether you want another Team Member, and he's a little on the chatty side for my personal taste."
"Alright then, I know what I'll do," Era replied, "Could you both take care of these things?" They both nodded and headed off to put the items away as the Pikachu went and retrieved a pen and paper. She sat down at the table and began to write. When she finished, she sent the letter with Riley to be mailed:
The Reply
Dear Bacca
Thank you for your note, we greatly appreciate it. While it would be our privilege to have you on the Team, I think that you would do better helping out at the Villa. From what I've heard about you, Evelyss trusts you very much, and it's always helpful to have trustworthy people at your side for any endeavor. I wish you the best of luck, and thanks again.
Sincerely,
Era, Co-Leader of Team MistMelody
