Ohai thar~ First of all, I'd really like to thank you all for the reviews. owo Oh, and those people that don't recall.. Nightdaze (Now Nocturnal Nights) made this original idea. So yeah. Xandra, like what he said, is pronounced as San-drah. Yes, with the h. Because she's epic like that. Jkjk.

Anyway, continue on with the story~ It's…. not that good. My mind was drifting off, and this was basically, how I thought they would eventually spend up the day. ^^;

Umm… would it hurt you to R&R? lols. XD jkjk. Enjoy reading randomness. :P

Chapter 2 - Useless

"Well, took you long enough." Xandra muttered, looking at the Lucario that just arrived inside the room.

"Yeah, well... Things happened." He shrugged, taking a seat next to her. He'd gotten to be calmer around the Kirlia now. The room they were in now has a pleasant aroma (well it has a more homey atmosphere), and the smell of cookies baking in the oven near them. Even Xandra seemed to be nicer.

"Yeah. I'm guessing Wade told you." He looked her in the eye incredulously; how could a Kirlia know so much in a certain amount of time? 'What.. kinda.. sorcery...' The Lucario thought to himself, not thinking about the fact that he was a bit late on arrival.

Xandra seemed to guess his question correctly, as she opened her mouth to speak. "One was that you were late. Curious Pokemon don't arrive late when answers are only a door away. Secondly, I know Wade. He'd tell you anything. Even those that aren't true."

"Wait... so, you're not actually my ex?" He asked, tilting his head slightly. 'Is Wade a liar?'

Xandra didn't respond, and just looked at the nearby oven. "Nah, that's true." She sighed, standing up and lifting her hand, a reddish white glow surrounding it, and the oven soon after. A few minutes, sounds could be heard and the cookies were now up in the air and being lifted to the nearby counter. "Sorry for the sudden interruption." She said, now sitting down. "Any more questions?"

He nodded, picking one question from his mind list, which were a lot. "Yeah. Who am I? Where do I live? Who're my parents? Y'know... Those stuff. Oh, and.." He hesitated for a little bit, but continued on anyway, "Why aren't you screaming like the time you saw me and Wade?"

Xandra managed to chuckle a bit to the last sentence. "Meh, people change. I just happen to change a lot. One time, I can be like that, the other, like what you see now." She shrugged, continuing. "As for that... Didn't Wade tell you?"

"Nope."

"Wow. What a thoughtful friend. Anyway. You're Jason Black, a Lucario with a mysterious power.. you live in Canalave City.. Your parents are... are..." She slowly trailed off, oddly staring right past Jason, and looking at the nearby window. "...are dead, basically."

Jason, being the curious Pokemon that he is, looked at the window Xandra was staring before. There were many Pokemon all busy with their odd jobs; some were playing, some were running off to complete quests, some were just lazying around. It was all normal. But why did she look at that window? Was there someone there before? Or was it just his imagination? He shook it off; everything will just clear itself soon. "What about.. My job, if I have one..? People that I know? ...Austin?"

Little did he know that he accidentally hit a nerve. Xandra suddenly looked at him with her murderous stare, but casually shrug it off. "Your job is.. well.. I don't really recall." Her eyes shifted to the ground again, "And Austin?" A long pause, "She's... pretty. She's... wonderful. She's..." Xandra's tone was shaky, her right hand slowly twitching. "She's the girl you ever dreamed about. That's what you said."

"Oh..." It didn't really take a little Pokemon to know Xandra was lying about not knowing his job. But Austin? She was telling the truth, for a girl just simply cannot be so sensitive about that if the other Pokemon was better than her in ways.

"Anyway. Come on then, let's go. Wade's waiting for us." She muttered. Jason nodded in reply and together they head back out to the Living room where Wade was busy playing a game of Mystery Dungeon.

"Oh you're done? So soon?" Wade said, buried deep in the game. Jason and Xandra both nodded in union, the Lucario taking a seat next to him, looking at the screen."

"What game IS that?" He asked, the sprites in the game had odd peach colored bodies and they stood up straight. They had weapons equipped to them, and the sprites that has either long or ponytailed hair were handling a staff. They were in a room that was like a labyrinth, and various other sprites that looked like items were scattered all over the floor.

"It's a weird game I found in Xandra's closet." Wade said, pressing the A button on the controller, making the character move and swing his sword. "It's called Human Mystery Dungeon. Those characters are named Humans, and the story is weird. This main human right here," He pointed with his arm the character he was currently controlling, "..Used to be a Pokemon. Imagine that."

After a few more hours of game play, the Buizel had finally managed to reach the point where the main character had met up with the criminal who had stolen the Luminous Gears, and both of the characters actually were from the future. Xandra, however, pulled the plug out of the game console before he could save his game.

"Well that's just-!" Wade sulked, putting the game controller down and looking at the wall clock. "Oh wow, it's already 6 pm? I didn't think we'd spend so much time here!"

"Oh I think you knew." Xandra looked at Wade with the repetitive cold stare. "I'm not going to go ahead and make dinner for the both of you, so you better head back to Pastoria."

"Fiine."

It was already 8:30 pm that the duo came back home to Pastoria; the streets were oddly quiet as the lights on the various houses were slowly disappearing. Some places like the Pokemon Center and the 24 Hour PokeMart were still up and running, as they could still see some Pokemon go in and out of the rooms.

One certain Pokemon, however, was busy chatting to random others on the streets, occassionally whispering to them few choice words, leading the rest to spread it on. Her red and blue petals were shimmering in the moonlight, her mischievious eyes catching the two Pokemon, nearing and greeting them with a smile.

"Hiya!" The Roselia said, eyeing both the Buizel and the Lucario with those eyes; those eyes that hid a shimmer to them. "I'm Lisa~ And you are?" She asked, but she was looking at Jason, who was still slightly confused.

"Let us pass, Lisa.." Wade stiffled a yawn and whispered to the Lucario few words of his own, "That's Lisa. Never tell her anything secret; it'll reach everybody's ears in 2 seconds flat."

"Oh." Jason muttered, then smiled lightly to the Roselia. "Erm.. I'm Jason."

Lisa's eyes widened slightly, "No way. THE Jason Black?" Her thin line curved into a wide smile as she prepared to ask questions.

"You know me?" He asked, wondering if that's a good, or a bad thing. Before he knew it, Wade was pushing him towards his house.

"You don't have to know what she's going to say; It's either purely fiction, or another rumor that's started. She's not called the gossip girl of Jubilife city for nothing."

"Gossip girl of Jubilife?" He echoed the sentence; He knew Jubilife. Awkwardly, his sense of direction wasn't too damaged, and he was thankful for that.

"Yeah. She's the main reporter of Jubilife TV. She tries to get the latest scoops on EVERYTHING, and if there's nothing good, she'll make something up and it somehow ruins your reputation." He sighed, "That happened to a friend of mine. He was the most awesome Gym Leader. But then Lisa happened. How I hate that Pokemon." He stopped, and got the keys to unlock the door.

Jason couldn't really think of anything to say; instead, he just waited until the door was unlocked so that he could clear his mind at the guest room that Wade's making him stay in.

o3o ouo owo o^o

"Well, this day was really... weird." Jason muttered, now lying down on his bed. It was already 11 pm, and he can't really sleep for some reason. Xandra, Lisa, Wade, and the so called Austin were still in his mind. Should he really believe them? Yes. It wasn't like he's got a choice. But if he did... would he believe them? Would he believe Wade? Xandra?

Would he even believe himself?

He shook his head; Asking difficult questions won't solve his problem.. as if it has been already answered. All the answers given to him weren't enough. Xandra would have given him, but why wouldn't she? Lisa could have given him a clue, but... Would he really trust her words? He'd thought of asking the other Pokemon, but it was going to be difficult; Pokemon don't normally remember acquaintances. Plus, he doesn't know them. At all.

He didn't notice a dark shadow that loomed over him; but it was nothing to see. At night, it could just be a tree, or even flying Noctowl. The silence of his room was calming, as he could think better. He could think, and think all night long. However, it was unpractical. He needed rest, he knew that. He needed the energy to ask a lot of Pokemon for tomorrow. He wanted to sleep.

But... the questions in his mind kept him awake. What could he do to answer the questions that were haunting him every second? Should he sleep it off? Should he just forget it and start a new life? No. He knows that much. No. He sighed, staring at the ceiling, hoping that it would magically show some answers.

All it had done was make the Lucario drift into a peaceful slumber.

But... maybe that's what he did need.

Maybe he'll know what to do tomorrow.

Maybe he'll see it all in another dream.

Maybe.
