So with lots of requests asking for the next update, I wrote the next chapter! I hope you guys are happy!
Even though the idea comes from Amber Carnival's The Hiding Game, I'm not following them with it. I'm twisting it to my needs, and following my own plot Bunearies.
Because you know, I already know how it's going to end and all that.
NO MORE AMONS ACCEPTED, BUT I AM ACCEPTING POKEMON TRAINERS! (just take out the Amon part of the sheet, and replace it with Name, Nickname, Attacks, Personality, and Hot You Got It, of your Pokemon. Max 6. Min 2.)
REVIEW REPLIES!

Anelas: Okay, and thanksss~~~
Farla: I feel no need to reply to you because I know for a fact that you won't be reading this.

Oh yeah, some of you have been wondering which OC in this story is mine. Well the answer to that is... NONE! That's right, this one is pure other-people-OCs for now!
I created an OC for myself, but I'll let you in on who it is when he/she appears (it'll be obvious too). Until then, NONE OF THE INCOMING OCS ARE MINE~!

-CHAPTER TWO-
"REBECCA!" The boy in the tree yelled as he leapt to the ground ran at her with open arms. She shrieked in surprise and horror, but it was soon muffled into the boy's chest as he cradled her to him much too tight. "I missed you!"
"AFDSGFH!" She shrieked in his shirt, unable to force herself free, "UASFGF!"
"Huh?" He loosened his grip and, to his surprise, had to look down at her, "Are you okay?"
Her face was flushed with anger and her large red eyes were wide in surprise. She pushed him away and held out a hand, the grass beneath his feet started to grow at a near impossible speed, but he just hadn't noticed yet.
He went to take a few steps towards her, but the grass had already wrapped around his ankle, making him plant face first into the ground. Without hesitation, the long thin vines took advantage of this and wrapped around his arms to restrain him as he struggled.
"And that's what you get for sneaking up on me!" Rebecca said as she placed her hands on her hips, willing her face to calm the heck down from the sudden ambush.
"Msghe tdytpers tujmkursd?" The enemy mumbled in a small moan before listing his head up—the only part of him not held down—and repeating it to her, "What just happened?"
She glared at his most recognizable face, "You snuck up on me, Kyle."
His gold eyes lightened considerably, "You remember me!"
Rebecca rolled her eyes and walked back up to the trees, returning to her job of plucking the Nanab berries.
"Umh..." Came the weary voice of the curly blond boy on the ground, "You going to help me?"
Rebecca turned her head of light brown hair to show off her smirk, "Are you going to hug me again?"
He smirked back in amusement, "Touché."
WISH FROM THE HEART
"Are we there yet?" A small girl with pin straight dark hair grabbed the cloak of her partner, tugging him back to make sure he was listening to her, "I'm really tired and my feet are sore and—"
"We're almost there." The cloaked man cut off consolingly, gently returning the cape around his shoulders, "After these trees—"
Just as he said so, the bright lights of the city illuminated his face with a disarray of colors. It was starting to shake towards the darkness of night, but Saffron City was alight with glee, giving them a warm feeling of welcoming. Addison bounced ahead with a slight squeal of delight, dancing along with the flashing lights of the festival as if she was made entirely of light.
Zak rolled his eyes at his entranced cousin before following behind her at a safe distance, though only he stood out with his dark cloak hiding almost all of his features. He received some looks along the way but they finally succumbed when he grudgingly pulled down his hood to Addison's constant bickering.
"Why are we at Saffron when there's a festival? Where there are more chances to be seen and caught?" Addison slowed until she was standing next to her opposite, watching the shifting crowd with a critical eye.
Zak closed his eyes for a brief second, "The lab is in Sinnoh. I doubt they would send ABC members to a region as far away as Kanto."
Technically, when scrutinizing the maps, you automatically know that Hoenn is the farthest area from Sinnoh. But Zak had the plan to return to the gym in Saffron where he had trained his Pokémon to the best possible condition. This very gym is also where he first learned about the humans being mistreated and used to create mutations.
"Ooh!" Addison hummed, eyes flashing alight, "That's good!" But then she tilted her head to the side to get a better look at his face, "But jeez cousin! You never told me why we're here in Saffron!"
"To hide." He replied bluntly, turning so suddenly that it threw Addison off guard. She quickly spun around and dashed after his slowly retreating form.
"Hide? Hide where? It's a festival!" She yelped as he led her away from the festival streets and in the direction of the gym, "...Are you going to challenge Sabrina?"
Zak rolled his eyes at her impatient nature before moving across the gym to its neighbour, walking insidw the open door. Addison didn't follow him however, opting to look up at the large magnificent and ancient looking building with wonder.
What were they doing at the Fighting Dojo?
WISH FROM THE HEART
"We should be safe here!" Bree wheezed as they clambered inside the Pokémon center of Hearthome, Alexis following right behind her as if hell was on her heels. Considering the person chasing them, it was. "He takes some time to recharge from running, and plus I don't think he'd do anything in a place where there are witnesses!"
"I hope you're right." Alexis automatically went up to Nurse Joy and gave her her KO'd Flygon' Pokéball. "Or else we'd be in trouble."
Bree slipped into the couch facing the TV and stretched her legs so that they were propped against the small table, "We'll be fine as long as we keep an eye out."
Alexis joined her on the long couch and nudged the girl's feet from the table, "Not your table to put feet on."
Bree rolled her eyes but kept them off, "Whatever, mom."
"You better hope I was your mom," Alexis smirked playfully, "Or else I'd be whooping that butt of yours all the way back to Eterna where you're supposed to be."
"Aww!" Bree gave a crooked smile, tail automatically slithering across her waist with the disguise of a belt, "I knew you missed me!"
Alexis rolled her eyes, "Yeah, keep dreaming."
"Excuse me, you two..." A younger girl slowly walked up to them with a small smile on her lips. She was covered in a long black dress that ended at her knees with a Pokémon belt loose around her hips, her overall appearance making her look like she was just beginning being a trainer. "...I'm Knawta."
"I'm Alexis," Alexis began when Bree raised a wary eyebrow at the girl but didn't utter a word, "and this is Bree." She waved a hand at the girl glaring at her. "How can we help you?"
Knawta looked left and right, pushing back her bangs from her eyes as she pulled her glasses on top of her head. After making sure no one would be listening, she leaned towards to the duo on the couch and whispered. "...you two are Amons, aren't you?"
WISH FROM THE HEART
Leaning against a large building with her family stood an agitated female dressed fully in black, holding back a pair of blond twins from running eagerly into the streets of the festival. They too found refuge in Saffron, thinking along the same lines of staying as far away as possible of the lab, but they were only there for the festival so to get enough money for the Magnet Train that goes to Goldenrod.
"Eddie," She turned her head of short dark blue hair in the direction of the small boy next to her, "Go."
He nodded silently in affirmation before pushing off the wall and blending in perfectly with the crowd. After a few more seconds, Absidee ushered Lilian to follow him, before sending a strict look at the twins in her arms.
"Not too much destruction this time okay?"
"Yes, big sis!" The chirped in sync, wearing matching grins and adorable eyes, "We won't let you down!"
She smiled a little, but didn't let it affect her strict tone of voice, "You better not." She let go of their hands and they started to move in the crowd, "Good luck."
After counting to ten, she took her turn to blend into the crowd. The area was less ignited with burning lights and so she could easily wipe the minds of those who were unlucky enough to be chosen. She quickly found the twins and hid behind a food stand so that she could hear them; they were apologizing profusely at a business man in an expensive suit. He came from Silph Co., that much was abundantly clear, thus he made the perfect target.
"We're so sorry!" June repeated with perfect practiced emotions, "We didn't mean to jump on you like that!"
"Yeah!" Sam continued and she held onto her sister's hand, "We're so sorry we thought you were our dad! We're sorry!"
"We're very sorry!" The chimed together at last, finishing with a low bow.
The man looked flustered at having so many apologies being thrown at him before his features softened and he patted their heads, "It's alright. I understand. Run along."
"Thanks you mister!" They jumped him in another hug before quickly running off. Once they spotted Absidee returning to the crowd, they encircled her.
"How much?" She asked, holding out her hand. Sam quickly pulled out a packet of money and placed it in the older girl's hand. Absidee started to count.
"Close to a hundred." June answered the question before sharing a look with her sister, "Is it enough for the train?"
Absidee quickly came up with a total of exactly 80 bucks. She split the money in two and each gave the twins half, "Here you go. Don't lose it."
"What about you big sis?" Sam asked, sliding her half into her pocket and then zipping it up so that it had no chances of falling out.
"I have some left over," Absidee fibbed and softly ruffled their hair, "Beside, there's still a lot to pick around from."
She waved her hand to the growing crowd before ushering the two girls at the meeting point.
"Stay there until I come back."
"Yes big sis!"
WISH FROM THE HEART
"Waah!" Garret yelled in surprise as his small form was tossed into a desk drawer. He landed harshly on the wood by his butt and groaned before glancing up in horror at the doctor, "What are you—"
Tyson quickly pulled a finger to his lips to shush him, his free hand holding onto the knob of the drawer, "I'm hiding you before they arrive in a few minutes!"
"Who—"
"Shh! Be quiet!" Tyson shushed before quickly closing his desk. He rolled his chair back to his desk and poised his pen as if he hadn't moved around his desk. As predicted, the door blew open, a slightly ticked Persephone in its presence.
"I've checked everywhere, Dr. Elwood!" She stressed, eyes narrowing on the white-haired scientist looking innocent in his seat, "This is the place where he is! I just know it!"
"You can look around. But I guarantee you that whoever it is you're looking for won't be found here." Tyson crossed his arms in determination, not willing to make a slip up that might make him give way to the little person in his desk.
Persephone smirked and entered the room, gently snapping the door to a close behind her so that no henchman could bother them. "Good, I was hoping on that. I hope you don't mind the intrusion!"
WISH FROM THE HEART
Stephany brushed away her long dark hair and fingered her blue and red locks while she placed her silver cell phone to her ear. She waited, eerily patient, as the seconds slowly ticked by on her golden watch, eyes flickering around the hall as her lab coat blew back a little.
Finally after long moments of hearing the dialling tone, the man picked up.
"Elias, what is taking so long?" She snapped, not letting him even acknowledge her. "You told me you would get her in less than a few days!"
"Pardon me for taking my time—" Came the sarcastic retort through the receiver.
"Don't you dare take your time!" She hissed, lowering her voice slightly as a few nurse hurried past with clipboards. "This is no fun and games! Do you know how many Amons have escaped? We need to hurry and get them back so that we can move on—"
"You really can't wait to see your dear little sister again, can't you?"
"Elias!" She growled dangerously low, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" He laughed breezily from the other side of the connection, and she could distantly hear his footsteps on the gravel, "I just won't be getting her today."
"And why the hell not, you incompetent man?"
"Now, now," He tsked lightly, and she could imagine his lips tilt in amusement, "We both know that's not true!"
"Just answer me."
A slight pause. She knew he was rolling his eyes at her persistent nature. "They found refuge in the Pokécenter."
"And you can't just go in there and force them out?"
"No need to rush, my dear Stephy." Her face flushed in embarrassment, but she didn't snap at him, letting him continue, "They'll be out tomorrow morning. And then they'll be out for the taking. Hands down, it's going to be easy."
Stephany paused in the hall and leaned on the wall for assurance, folding a bladed arm across her stomach, "Are you sure?"
"A hundred percent." Came the unwavering, determined voice.
"You better be, Elias!" Stephany returned to her snap, "Or else I'll have your head!"
And then she hung up.
WISH FROM THE HEART
That night, Rebecca found that she couldn't sleep. Not because of nightmares—oh no, she was totally used to them—but because of the menace that she had no choice but to have sleeping in the room next to hers.
Oh yeah, there was nothing wrong with that. No way.
Especially not when he snuck into her room near midnight when the Smiths were sure to be asleep. There's still nothing wrong with that.
"What do you think you are doing?" Rebecca hissed, subconsciously tightening the blanket around her being to hide the very noticeable leaves dancing around her neck.
He ignored her question however, jumping on her bed so that he could hover over her with his hands on her shoulders, "Show me!"
"Huh?" She blinked in confusion, ears flushing red of having a boy this close to her when she was only protected by her thin blanket and her nightgown.
"You did it when I hugged you so..." The boy mumbled to himself, sliding his body closer and wrapping his arms around the uncomfortable girl, setting his head on her shoulder. He waited a few seconds in confusion, not understanding when she didn't push him away like last time.
He leaned back of their embrace in confusion, watching as the girl's face grew hot until it reached the color of a tomato. He tilted his head to the side, still not getting why she wasn't throwing punches at him like she usually would.
"Rebecca?"
"What?" She snapped, fighting against her eyes and their pestering will to sleep, making sure to glare at the boy in front of her. She forced her red eyes to stay on him, watching him like a hawk, "What do you want other than hug me every second?"
"Nothing..." He crawled forward, grabbing onto the sheets and tugging them back so that he could see the leaves at her neck, "I just want to see..."
"OUTTA MY ROOM, PERVERT!" Before he could even think of retorting, a fist landed into his cheek and sent him flying. His gold eyes flew around to take in his surroundings before they landed on the potted plant on her desk, growing at an uneven pace in his direction.
He blinked as his back hit the closet door and he wobbled a few seconds on his feet before finding the power to stand on his own. He watched the plant for a few more seconds, analyzing what it was doing, before his gaze flickered to Rebecca as she stood up, her blanket still held around her like a cape as she snapped her free index finger in his direction.
The rustling sound of the leaves made him turn back to the plotted plant in surprise. But he didn't have time to think before he quickly ducked, it shooting in his direction at the speed of a bullet, all the branches twirled together to make one giant spire as it crashed through the door behind him.
He scowled at it before quickly looking back at the fuming girl on the bed, quickly making the connections as a small smirk formed.
So that's what your ability is!
WISH FROM THE HEART
"Thanks for giving us a place to live!" Addison chirped as she followed Zak and his companion through the house. When arriving at the Fighting Dojo, she met one of her cousin's friends; his name was Atticus. He was really dedicated to training himself and his Pokémon. Soon after, she learned from Zak that he was also an Amon from the Oak Facility, and that he had been staying here without disturbance ever since the explosion. "It's really nice of you!"
"Anything to help a fellow comrade!" The—way—older man looked over his shoulder to wink at her.
Addie blinked for a few seconds before brushing it off as a formality and entering the guest room where she would be sleeping at the moment.
"My room's going to be across from yours, just in case you need anything." Zak advised before sending Atticus a stern look and disappearing down the hall with a call of: "When you're done unpacking, come join me in the kitchen! You haven't eaten yet!"
But her stomach let out a loud growl, so instead of doing as she was told, she dropped her bag and rushed after her cousin, jumping on his back, "I want food! You better make me some noodles mister!"
"Noodles aren't that healthy for you. It'd be better if you had some meat in you." Zak commented, grabbing her legs in time so that she won't fall off.
"I don't care!" She whined, making sure to mess up his hair, "Noodles taste way better!"
Watching on as the two started to bicker over what they would eat, Atticus shook his head in amusement and smiled to himself. Life would be better now that he had companions with him.
WISH FROM THE HEART
"What are you talking about?" Alexis' voice rose to a nervous squeak as Bree stiffened next to her, "What is this Amon you speak of?"
Knawta frowned and straightened up, "You heard me. You two are Amons."
Bree frowned and hoped that the girl would just suddenly leave them alone so that they wouldn't be figured out, "Look kid, we're not these Amons of yours. Now run along and go play with your Pokémon."
But the frail little girl stayed determined, hands on her hips as she glared at the two of them, "You're Amon. This—" she pointed at Bree's make shift belt, "—proves it. I noticed it when you two entered the center. Lucky no one else was looking."
Bree and Alexis shared horrified looks before the later finally forced out, "What about me? I don't have tail."
A sly smirk suddenly grew on the little girl's features, "I never said it was a tail."
Alexis' heart froze at her mistake, and Bree sucked in an uncomfortable breath.
Alexis leaned to the side so that she could whisper to Bree, "What do you think she's going to do to us? Rat us out to the press and have us arrested?"
Bree shook her head and glared defensively at the small girl in front of them, "Alexis isn't an Amon. I just told her that I was. You have no proof that she is."
"Bree..." Alexis gasped in surprise, yet she was still touched deep inside. Why did she suddenly admit to it though? To let her escape the incoming horrors?
Knawta narrowed her eyes threateningly at them, "Believe what you may. I know that you both are Amons."
"How?" Bree hissed through clenched teeth, "There is no way!"
"Maybe you haven't noticed, but..." The younger girl smiled and pointed at their heads, "...your hair match. Plus it's natural."
Alexis gaped for a few more seconds, but then stood up to go get her Flygon at Nurse Joy's call. She was about to place it back in her bag when she thought better and walked back over to Knawta.
"There's no way I could be an Amon." Alexis said as she held out her Pokéball as an example, "I'm a Pokémon trainer."
"I know plenty Amon who are trainers. They do so to disguise themselves." Knawta shrugged nonchalantly before pulling a chair so that she could sit down. Alexis quickly returned to her seat next to Bree.
"Know?" Bree gasped, "You know Amons as trainers? And they are willing to testify that?"
Knawta nodded, eyes set confidently.
Alexis sucked in a breath before finally asking the question that was on both girls' mind, "What are you going to do to us?"
Surprisingly for them, Knawta suddenly broke into a large grin and started giggling as she clasped her hands behind her back, "Oh Alexis, Bree, have you ever heard of T.A.R.P.?"
"T.A.R.P.?" Bree repeated, sharing a look with her partner, who shrugged back in response.
"The Amon Relocation Program."
WISH FROM THE HEART
"Big sis!" The twins chirped as the older girl reappeared by their sides, Eddie and Lilian following closely behind, "Do you have enough money?"
"I do." She smiled lightly and grabbed each of their outstretched hands. "Now let's go see if we can go get our tickets."
"Okay!" The twins' smiles stretched into matching grins as they started tugging Absidee forward with a fast bounce in their steps. "Let's go!"
Behind them, Eddie and Lilian shared a worried and hesitated look, sharing a small secret with their eyes that the smaller children didn't know.
WISH FROM THE HEART
Learning how to transform your body into different shapes and sizes automatically let's you learn the warning signs your body gives you. For example, the signs that your two hours is up and that you were going to grow back to your normal size while still hiding in a desk drawer was starting to show.
"Oh crap..." Garret hissed as he felt his limbs pulse with the need to grow back into their normal size.
Looking around for a quick exit, he took steady steps backwards before rushing at the door and roughly pushing the side of his body against it, making the entire entity shake and tremble. He knew his location was going to be given away, but it was way better than breaking the entire desk because of his power.
"Oh? What's this?" Persephone's voice sounded and he stopped throwing himself at the walls to look up. The drawer was pulled open and the trainee sneered down at him with mocking blue eyes. Garret grinned back, catching her off guard, and jumped up to her face.
He just knew that this had to be his chance.
Because his ability reverted the second he was free, knocking Persephone unconscious under him as her head hit the ground with a hard smack. He quickly checked the pockets of the woman's lab coat, soon finding his much-needed phone. He flipped it open, watching in horror as if flashed with 17 unread messages from his boss.
If he was ever going to find a way out of this place, he was going to receive hell from him.
