Inn-teresting Developments (Japanese: ホルード、奪う Horudo, Seize) is the third round of the X & Y arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Plot
Walking on Route 1 (Vaniville Pathway), X and his friends are approaching the gates of Aquacorde Town. Seeing that it is already getting dark, Shauna asks Trevor where they are going to sleep for the night, Y answers that she already booked a room in the town. Arriving at the gates, they are welcomed by the owner of the inn. She explains that she became worried that something happened to them since they weren't there yet.
In front of the inn, the innkeeper counts how many they are. Realizing that they are only four of them even though Y said they would be five, she starts wondering where is the last one. She then pulls of the blanket that was over X, only to find a depressed young man. Before entering the inn, she adds that everyone has their stories and that she don't mind. Once she left, Y starts shouting at X to get out and that she is disappointed that he is still acting like that, even outside.
In their room, Trevor asks Tierno what he thinks about all this. Tierno answers this is too sudden for him, he adds that he probably just need time. Tierno, Shauna and Trevor look at X, who stayed outside, through the window. He asks Kanga and Li'l Kanga if they are angry at him. He adds that there is no way they wouldn't be since he left the two of them in Tierno's care for so long. He says that he don't understand why the two of them still protected him. He also asks Li'l Kanga if he knew he could change form. Li'l Kanga didn't answer him. X say his Mega Ring was shining, X wonders if it's because of it that Li'l Kanga was able to change form. Because of the Ring's power, X fears that if it is known, more adults would come after him. Tierno then walks in saying that X only wanted to hide the Ring in order to protect Li'l Kanga. He then sends out Chespin and Froakie. X is surprised. Tierno explains that these are the Pokémon Trevor received from Professor Sycamore, but that there was another one that was lost in yesterday's commotion. He adds that they decided that Chespin and Froakie should go to him and Y, since they are the most skilled trainers. X says that this is probably just a way to lure him out, Tierno admits. Asking him to start being being a Trainer again from there and to reconcile with his sad Pokémon, he is then interrupted by an angry X grabbing him by the shirt. X says he has no order to receive and that he can do whatever he wants to do. Calmly, Tierno replies that he has every right to say this, since he his the one who's been taking care of them. X lets go of him and covers himself back under his blanket.
In the Inn, Y is trying to call her mom, but to no avail. She explains to the innkeeper that her mom was supposed to be back in town the day this happened. She turns the TV on and is shocked by the news: mountains were destroyed, many houses collapsed and countless people are missing. Y explains to the innkeeper that the boy outsiee is named X and that he used to lock himself in his room for years, until yesterday and that her mom is the one who's been taking care of him since his parents are in another region. She then starts starts telling her mom's story. Wanting to tell X about her mom, the innkeeper grabs her by dhe hand and says she should let him be. Y thinks about it, but decides that she should still tell him. The innkeeper grabs her again firmly and says she really shouldn't. Y asks if there is any particular reason for her to want that so badly. She is then knocked onto the inn's wall by the innkeeper's Spritzee.
The old woman brings out a phone and talks to the person on the line. She says that the "holder" is outside while three of them are locked on the second floor. Y orders her Fletchling to attack. Meanwhile, Tierno is worrying about the locked door and windows. Flecthling dashes in the window behind Y, shattering it, Y gets out of the inn.
Y is face to face with Team Flare, which do not understand what is going since she was supposed to be locked inside. One of Team Flare's Grunt says that it's not a big deal, that their objective is Li'l Kanga. With Li'l Kanga being held hostage, Kanga can't attack. Thinking to herself, Y realizes that Kanga can't fight, that Fletchling is still fighting inside and that Rhyhorn can only race, she wonders what they can do. She then looks at Chespin and Froakie, and asks them to fight with her even thought they just met. Team Flare sends a fire attack in direction of Y, which is blocked by Froakie. X then lifts his blanket and tells Y to step aside. Looking at Li'l Kanga with an angry look on his face, he shouts that she is his Pokémon.
