Hey guys! This is another story by Shay and me, and it's another one that we just write as we go! Oftentimes we take turns writing paragraphs, so we're both always surprised to see where these little ideas take us.

Hope you enjoys it, and a review would be so amazing that I might burst. Or... maybe not literally, but you get the idea.

Just remember - this chapter will be lengthened! It's only a sneak preview!

"Her backs turned. Give us those balls, won't you?"

"Shhhh! Not so loud, ok? I'm getting there." He slipped a ball out of his bag and passed it behind his back to the other shadow cloaked figure. It was quickly followed by a second and a third. "There. A full and two demis. I don't know why you insisted on a full for such a tiny package, but there you go." He stuck out his hand and received a ball in return.

"What are you boys doing?" Came a shrill voice from the corner of the room. "None of that... trading... I should think."

"Of course not Mam" One of the men mumbled, as they slunk to the portal. "Thanks for having us Mam" But her back was already turned, watching the other partners in the room with a spearows eye.

The tall grass rustled as the colony moved. Stealth, guys. Stealth. The poachers have been out in force recently. The rustling eased, but it was still unbearably loud to the nervous wrecks that passed for bidoofs. They're gonna' catch us! I just know it! A young one squeaked. Quick as a flash, a red ball slammed out of the sky onto its back, swallowing it in a violent flash of red light. That's why we need to be quiet everyone! Now, move! The bibarels shrunk from the scene of the attack and slithered onwards.

Similar things were happening all over route 201 and 202, as Poachers came from all over the region to try their hand. A flock of starlys had already been wiped out, and those that lived at lake verity had been forced to flee. Their dark shapes soared over Canalave city. They weren't even after us! It was those stupid Bidoufus'es fault! One cried. An elder quickly reprimanded it. They have always been our friends. Respect that. And never call them by that name again. They landed in the grass, eying the luscious berries perching on the bushes.

They never made it past the level 20's in the area.

"Jenny dear, you really do need to let me into the center. I don't even have any bidoofs on me!"

"It's Officer Jenny to you, scoundrel. And I know your type. You would never be caught dead with one of those poor pokemon. But we know your tricks. You won't get into the Union room with one unless your personally escorted. And I'm afraid there's a waiting list and a booking schedule."

"You're KIDDING!" He screamed. "IMPOSSIBLE! It's... it's... Gah!" He stormed off away from the Pokecenter, dropping the fake pokeballs he was carrying at his waist in the process.

Officer Jenny frowned and picked them up, calling for Nurse Joy. "Joy, I think our troubles are worse than we imagined... I don't understand what these people could ever hope to gain from trafficking these poor Pokemon..." She handed the fake Pokeballs to the pink haired nurse, who took them and scanned them with her dex.

"They seem so real..." She threw one, where it bounced like rubber off the pavement and spat out a buneary doll. "But they are so obviously not... I think you need to tell the Professor..."

So, sneak preview over, what do you think?

:D review and come back soon!
