Welcome back readers! Alice has had a strange dream. Or was it? Something doesn't seem right. Lets see if we will find out whats going on. Enjoy.

-POV: change: Edge-

The next day, I checked in with Leo and Ellie. Ever since she started living with us, we got some more hay for her to sleep with Leo. Every now and then, I would catch her cuddling with Leo while they both slept. I keep thinking that she moves from her bed to Leo while she's asleep. Like sleep walking. I usually move her back to her own bed. Leo woke up as I walked into there room. "Hey champ. How are you feeling?" "Much better!" "Shhh. Keep your voice down. You don't want to wake Ellie up." "Too late." Ellie said. "S-Sorry Ellie." "Its fine Leo." "Oh! My bag! Where-" "Its right here Leo." Leo's bag was sat right next to bed of hay. I picked it up and gave it to him. As soon as he got it, he started looking through it, making sure that he has everything.

When he got down with that, he gave a sigh of relief. "You got everything?" "Yeah. Im glad my Oran berries didn't get smashed." "Oh. That is good. It would be a mess to clean up." Leo and Ellie laughed, which caused me to chuckle. After a few seconds, Leo got up and put his bag on. "Um, Leo, where are you going?" "Out." "Where?" "Exploring." "Oh. Well, just be careful not to run into the same group from yesterday." "Okay daddy." With that, Leo rushed out of the house. I looked over at Ellie, who was just sitting there, stairing off into space. "You were looking at him in his blue eyes, weren't you?" I caught Ellie's attention. "I-I can't h-help it. His eyes are as blue as the sea. Its so pretty and... Im doing it again, aren't I?" "Afraid so. But thats fine. Being slightly older, you know what you say. Just give Leo some time. He's reaching that age. You might fine that he returns the same feelings, but just don't know how to exspress himself." "Okay." I walked over to Ellie and hugged her, which she returned.

"Well, go on then Ellie." "Huh?" "I know you want to go with Leo. You can't stand to not be around him. Go on. Just be sure that you both stay out of trouble." Ellie gave my a big smile, then dropped down to all four legs, running to catch up with Leo. Rose then came into view. "I was wondering. How did you know that Leo was in trouble?" "Oh thats simle. Leo and I are connected through aura. I could sense that he was scared of something. That caused me to start running to help him. Though, if he was farther away, I wouldn't wouldn't of been able to sense it." "Oh. Well, lets just hope that that doesn't happen again. By the way, what of your gem or scarf? Has there powers returned?" "No. Everything is calm." "Are we gonna tell Leo?" "Maybe when he gets older. For now, we don't say anything. Okay?" "Okay, but those bed time stories you tell him, about a group of Pokemon, one with a key-like weapon sound very similar to wha we went through. Not to mention, we have to be careful not to speak of those events around him. He can't know. He's too young." Thats true but if those event happen again, there is no stopping the truth from getting out.

-POV change: Leo-

For today's exploring trip, Im going to go exploring in this strange mountain. No one has dared explore it. They say that there is something strange about it and no one wants anything to do with it. But now, Im gonna go and discover whats inside of it. "Leo! Leo!" I turned back and seen Ellie run up to me. "Hi Ellie. You tagging along?" "If you don't mind." "Not at all." "Leo! Ellie! Hiii!" Laura said as she started running over to us. "Laura, hi." Laura stopped rigt in front of us with her paws behind her back. "You two feeling alright? You looked badly hurt when your mommy and daddy came to save you." "Don't worry, were fine." I to!d her. "Okay. You guys off exploring? Can I come with?" Laura asked as she started to rock back and forth. Ellie looked away with a angry look, like if she's... jealous or something. "Yeah, sure. A bigger group is more fun to explore with." I started to lead Ellie and Laura to the mountain. Ahen Laura would walk beside me, Ellie always pushed herself between me and Laura.

After a while, we stopped to geat a few of the barries that I picked yesterday. During our break, I seen this weird looking black creature. "Hey Laura, have you seen a Pokemon like that before?" "No Leo. Ellie, how about you?" When Ellie turned towards us, the creature disaapeared. "What Pokemon? I don't see no strange looking Pokemon." "But it was... Never mind." "Then lets get to that mountain of yours." Ellie said as she pulled me up by the arm and grabbed my paw. Weird. Laura followed after she was done looking confusedly at us.

-POV change: Unknown-

I was up on top of a fall tree, balancing on one foot while medatating. It felt like the perfect day to be doing so. However, I was inturupted when I felt a weird presencd nearby. One that didn't seem normal. I opened my eyes, and jumped down from tree branch to tree branch until I was low enough to land on the ground safely on my toes. I felt the presence getting closer and closer, so I decided to hide and invesagate. A black hooded figure and black creatures came into view. They were giving off an evil aura, and I don't like it one bit. However, I won't get into a fight unless its nessacary. So, I'll just follow them until I figure out their intensions.

I followed them for what felt like ten to twenty minutes, just to find that they were heading towards a mountain side. But not just any mountain side, its the mountain that no one would dare to enter due to the lack of knowladge about it. But that didn't stop the group Im tailing. They walked into the cave opening and dissapeared into the darkness of the cave. Im not gonna follow them in there. Shortly after they walked into the cave, a three young kids came into view. Two Riolus, one had a bag and the other had a hair bow tied to her right ear, and the other was an Eevee, who was standing on two legs. They were walking closer and closer to the same cave the mysterious group went in. Please don't walk into the cave. Please don't. No. No no no. "Dang it kids." They walked right into the cave. Why? Hasn't their parents told them about this place. Ugh, I don't want their ghost haunting me if something happens to them, so I decided to throw caustion to the wind and follow those kids into the the cave to get them out of there.

When I got into the cave, I completely lost sight of the young ones. So I closed my eyes and tried to sense their aura. Lets see...where are... There! Boy do they move quick Just don't get into trouble, please. I don't think those mysterious creatures are very friendly.

-POV change: Alice-

I decided to go for a little walk, hoping to clear my head so I can figure out what my weird dream was all about. Strange that I have this weird dream about black creatures and yet...they seem so...familiar. And...what of my parents? Oh well. Walking around for a bit might help with...whatever these things mean. After a bit of walking, I ran into something furry. "Ow. My head." I grabbed my head due to the throbbing pain I felt. I looked up to see that I accidently ran into a Riolu. But not just any Riolu, a shiny Riolu. I've never seen a shiny Riolu before. "Oh, sorry about miss Kirlia." "Its fine. My name is Alice." "Oh, well, my name is Adlez." "Adlez... Such an un-usual name." "Well, Im an un-usual Riolu. Now, if you'll exscuse me." Adlez then took off. Hmm. Strange. Well, maybe we'll met again.

-POV change: Laura-

"Leo...I think we're lost." "I think so too Ellie." We walked around a corner. A dead end. We walked back and tried a different path. Another dead end. "Aw come on!" I placed my paw over Leo's mouth. "Shh! Do you hear that?" We all went quiet and we heard voices. "Maybe whoever else is in here with us can lead us out of here. Come on!" I said as I led Leo and Ellie to the voices. "Have you found anything interesting Leo?" "Not yet Laura. Its just rocks, rocks, and more rocks. If I wanted rocks, I would look for an Evolution Stone, not boring rocks." I giggled at Leo's remark to these rocks. But that seemed to cause Ellie to move closer to Leo and I noticed her tail went to Leo's tail. Odd.

"We have finally found the Dark Star." I heard an unknown voice say. "Guys, stop." I said as we seem someone in a black hood and black creatures around the figure. We also seen this black looking star on a little ledge by a,rock formation that looks like...Darkrai. Then, like on cue, Darkrai appeared in front of the star. "Do not touch the Star of Darkness." "Your not my boss. Now get out of my way." Said the hooded,figure as he created a weird key shaped item and pointed it at Darkrai. "You will regreat taking the star. You don't know what kind of power these stars have...Roxas..." "How...how do you know my name?" "I know a lot. I also know this isn't the first time your kind attacked the Pokemon world. Now...leave this place." "Not without the Dark Star." I got poked on the shoulder. "Laura...lets get out of here." "Okay Ellie. Leo...Leo?" I looked over to where he was standing at, just to find that he's trying to sneak over to the star shapped item. "Leo, don't." "Wow. Look at it." Next thing I knew, Ellie and I were picked up and thrown out into view by a black creature.

"Hmph. More of your kind. Ah well. Since we have been discovered, you will have to die." Said the figure named Roxas, who pointed his weapon at Ellie, Leo, and I. "You won't be hurting anyone!" Said Ellie as she fired a Shadow Ball at Roxas, but deflected the attack. "You won't last. I'll deal with you quickly." And then swung at Ellie, causing here to hit the cave's wall. "Ellie!" I ran over to Ellie, making sure that she's fine. "Don't worry, Im fine." I looked at Roxas, who was,about to swing at Leo, but I ran at him at hit him with Blaze Kick, causing him to go sliding back. "You always look like a dancer when you use that move." "Well, mommy is like a dancer." "I know. Thanks." "No problem." "You little creatures are gonna get it now." Roxas said as he ran towards us. "Leavd those kids alone!" A voice said and a Aura Sphere hit Roxas, sending him crashing into the wall of the cave. "Are you kids alright?" The voice said. When I looked to see who saved us, I seen a Lucario.

I was a little shy about meeting someone new, but he saved us. "W-We're fine. T-Thank you." "What are your names?" "Im Laura. Thats Leo and Ellie. Whats your name?" "Leon." Roxas then got back up. You will all pay for your interfearence. Roxas ran at Leon, but he dodged it and countered with Close Combat. "You blue little freak!" "I could call you a black hooded freak. Now back off of these children!" Leon then launched a few Aura Sphere at the wall of the cave, which caused it to start rumbling. "Come on kids. We are getting out of here. Ellie and I got picked up by Leon. "Wait. Where is Leo?" "Right here!" "Come on then. Hop on my back!" Leon instructed Leo and he jumped up on Leon's pack. When he did, Leon used Extreme Speed and we got out of the cave before the entrance caved in.

"Phew. We got out just in time. Why were you kids in there anyhow?" "Looking for stuff." Leo said. "What kind of stuff?" "Interesting stuff. Like this thing." Leo the pulled out the same black looking star that was in the cave. "Are you serious? You went and got that thing?" Leon said. "Well, yeah. I think its cool looking." "Ugh...forget it. Lets get you back to your parents. Which way do you live?" "That way." Leo said as he pointed the way. "Okay. I'll take you back to your fokes. Come on." Leon led the way. "Oh Laura, does your mommy and daddy know that your with us?" "Yeah Leo, they know. They'll come and get me at your place." After a bit of walking, we made it back to Leo's home, with Edge, Rose, mommy and daddy waiting for us.

"Laura!" Mommy said as I ran up to her and gave her a big hug. "Leo! Ellie!" Leo and Ellie ran up to Leo's mommy and daddy. "Why do you all look like you got into some kind of fight. What happened?" Daddy asked me. "I think I can explain." Leon said as he walked over to daddy. "Leon! Its been a while." "Yes it has, old friend. Is Laura your daughter?" "Yep." "Wow..." "How long have you two known each other?" Leo's daddy asked. "Well, I was a Riolu when Link was still a Lucario, so both Sorcha and Link are older than me. He helped me with a bit of aura training and how to defend myself better. He's a great teacher, and an amazing friend." "So what happened to my daughter and her friends?" Leon explained to daddy what happened. "Those black hooded figures attack them?" Daddy said. "Organization XIII no douht." Leo's daddy said. "You have got to be kidding me! First they try to kill us, and now,THEY ATTACK MY DAUGHTER!? I swear to Arceus, I will yank off there-" Was the last thing I heard when mommy place her paws over my ears. Daddy's mouth was moving, but I could hear anything. Daddy then started walking over to the trees and started knocking them down with Bone Rush. Mommy let go of my ears and went over to calm daddy down. Whats going on?

-POV change: Zero-

I walked through a portal so I could check out the normal Pokemon world. It seems so amazing. Everything is so pretty. The flowers are so pretty, the trees look so big and the grass looks so green. Its no wonder Edge and his friends were trying to defend this place. But for some odd reason, I felt like I was being warched, but I wasn't sure. That was, until I heard a snapping sound from behind me. Someone is definitally watching me. "Hello? Whos there?"

-To be continued-

Other chapters might be halted for now. Soccer season is coming up and I must attend to practices. Im really sorry, but see as this will be my last year to play for my school, I need to work extra hard for it so I can become Captain for this season. For those of you who cares, wish me luck. For those of who you don't care, no one asked you. XD

And Im also sorry that its shorter than the first chapter, but I wanted to get it out before my first soccer practice.

Bye!
