Chapter One

"Murph...your chest is glowing." Me, Murph, Professor Hastings and Keith were experimenting a dark shard, the power source for these so called 'Gigaremo Units.' "What do you possibly have underneath your sweater?" Professor Hastings questioned Murph.

"Uh...nothing except this necklace my dad gave me." Murph pulled the necklace out from underneath his sweater, and showed us a blue glowing gem.

"Murph! Get closer to the shard!" Professor yelled, checking the stats and scales of power dropping slightly from the stone. "Powers dropping from the stone! We could be getting onto something! Where did you get that necklace?"

"My dad gave it to me from the Hia Valley. He says it's part of the Tears of Princes' blue gem."

"That's it! Kate, report to Hia Valley asap! It's in the northern part of Almia!"

"Um, ok." I said beginning to walk out with Glaceon by my side.

"Gla! Gla glaceon!" Glaceon said.

"Wait, Kate, if you go straight from here, you will come to a river and you will need to ride it up north." Murph explained.

"Ok, got it." I nodded and ran for the river. There was a Floatzel roaming along the edges of the river and I walked up to the pokemon carefully. "Capture On!" The little top-like capture device shot out and I used it to capture the Floatzel. I made it spin around the Floatzel, dodging any attacks that it used.

Once that buisness was taken care of, I took off for this...frozen wasteland. We swam through caverns, and I had to get off many times, then swim, then walk and so on. It was kinda frustrating. But I eventually made it to the end of the cavern. I saw members of Team Dim Sun. A grunt, and someone who looked more important. He had blue hair and blue eyes. He was actually kinda cute. I can't think about this now!

I hid behind a rock and listened in to their conversation. "This rock should stop anyone from passing through."

"Good, we can't have any intruders find the blue gem before me."

"Like that newbie Top Ranger?"

"Yeah...that noob." 'Noob?' I heard them walking toward the exit...the only possible exit now...which was next to me. Crud. They were being noobs now.

"Ah! There she is!" The grunt exclaimed, pulling out his Miniremo unit. The one I took a liking to- I mean the blue haired one, actually stayed and watched. Darn, he was a bit distracting. I actually found myself staring at him. I snapped back into reality when he smirked, making me realize that I was facing his little friend.

I finished him off, the device exploding. He began to run toward the exit, calling out 'Come on Ice!' before stopping at the exit.

"No, you go, I think I'll stay." This so called 'Ice' said. The grunt looked at him in confusion, but shrugged it off and ran. Ice looked me in the eyes, which made my heart beat a little faster. I tried to cover up my unsteady breathing, but that didn't work out. "So you're that newbie Top Ranger?" He questioned. I nodded, trying to avoid eye contact. "But you're no older than me. You must be really good." He said placing his finger under my chin, making me look at him. The enemy has found my weakness, and I really can't control myself right now.

"Y-yeah, w-well." I stuttered. "S-sorry, I'm a bit...c-cold." I lied.

"Really? Because your face is bright red." He smirked leaning down closer to my face. He broke through my wall. "But if you're really cold..." He started, he turned me around and held me in his arms. "I can warm you."

"Well with a name like Ice that's a little unbelievable." I joked.

"Oh?" He chuckled. "What's your name?"

"Kate."

"Beautiful." I felt myself heat up even more. "See? I can warm you up."

"W-why...?" He looked at me in confusion. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I want to get to know you." He said, kissing my cheek. Yeah, that did it, I felt my heart racing, my face burn up and my legs beginning to give out. He let go of me, and I fell to my knees. I bet you he's testing me. There's no way that he...l-likes me already.

"I guess I'll see you later, when I get the blue gem." He said walking out. That's it. He was making me weak, so I wouldn't be able to resist him later. Who knows what that'll turn out like...
