On Vacation — Mark Mulle

It's time for Poppy and Crystal to go on vacation! Although Crystal is sure to keep their vacation destination a big secret from Poppy, the two of them are about to have the adventure of a lifetime when they get there. This is a chance for them both to meet new friends, catch new Pokemon, and maybe even try to battle to become the leaders of gyms in a completely new location. Of course, traveling to another place means finding new types of Pokemon they might never have seen before, so this is going to be an eye-opening experience for everyone involved. In this story, Poppy and Crystal will learn to accept every member of their Pokemon team no matter how they might seem to begin with. When they meet new friends who will join them and become new members of their team, they both have to learn to work with the strengths and weaknesses of these Pokemon to help them reach their best potential. In the end, they'll discover something about what it means to be real friends as they help some of the newcomers learn to find their place in the world of Pokemon and trainers.
