Hi everyone! This is L today. J was unable to upload this chapter because of poor internet, so I will be doing this one. I hope you all enjoy it, even thou it is a little shorter then the first three we have done. I did this so we can try to get more chapters out to you guys.

As always, here are the notes J and I put on every chapter.

Chapter 4

Night is Always Scary

(Lilly's POV)

When I finally woke up, it was dark, and I wasn't on Joey's bed anymore, but rather my own. Getting up off my bed, I found that I was what looked like a small cave, only it was made of wood, and there was boxes all around. I walked towards the exit of the wood cave, and found that I had been put under Joey's bed, and that next to the bed was a small table, and in front of that small table was three things.

The first was a small clear plate with some blue and red berries, the second was a small glass of white liquid that smelled like Moomoo milk, and the third was a piece of paper with words on it, which I picked up and started to read, while I started eating the berries that were there.

{Lilly,

I am hoping that you can read this note. This took a while to write, since it is written in the Unown language, and that's not the way I usually write things. As I am writing this, you have been asleep for over 10 hours. To give you a comparison, a day is 24 hours, and you first woke at hour 6.

I have set out some food for you, the berries and the milk. You had asked for some milk this morning, and I was unable to get you it at the time, but now you can have some. I just hope that it is still cold by the time you drink it. I have found that warm milk is usually unpleasant, but you may like it either way.}

I looked at the milk, which was still sitting by the berries. I might as well try it, I thought, reaching out with both hands, I picked up the glass, which was about as tall as my arm, and about three times as wide, and tasted the milk. It was cool, and refreshing, and had a hint of what tasted like chocolate, only without whatever had hit me and put me to sleep. I put down the milk, and turned back to the paper, since I had only read half of what it had on it.

{I'm letting you know now, so that you don't feel bad, but I had to put you under my bed so my parents didn't see you. Like I had said, they don't know that you exist, so you will have to hide at times. We will introduce you to them, eventually. I also removed your hair flower, since I didn't want you to damage it as you were sleeping. You will find it atop the table next to my bed, but don't get it if you wake up and it's dark.

However, if you insist on doing something, and it's dark when you wake, there is a small red ball at the foot of my bed. Just don't hit anything when you are playing with the ball. As a friend of mine once said, 'just because you are awake, doesn't mean that everyone else wants to be as well'.}

'Well, what do I do?' I muttered to myself as I put down the paper and finished the berries and milk, 'I could go back to sleep, or I could play with a ball, by myself.'

The answer for me was easy. I finished my small meal, and then went over to the foot of Joey's bed, to find the red ball. I soon found the ball, which was about half my height, and on it was another note.

{Make sure not to hit against glass.}

That should be simple, since the only glass was in Joey's window, and I doubted that I could kick the ball that high. I kicked the ball, and it started to roll, and then I started to chase it. I was soon running in circles, trying to catch up with the ball. Every time I would get the ball, I would kick it again and start over.

I had been chasing the ball for a while, when I heard a small squeak from Joey's bed, and looking up, I saw a large shadow looming over the foot of Joey's bed. I stoped chasing the ball, which hit a wall and rolled back towards me, and looked up in fear at the shadow.

"Would you like someone to play with?" asked the shadow, which I now recognized as Joey.

[Yes please,] I said as Joey got off his bed and sat on the floor, [How long have you been watching me?]

"Long enough to know that you have a lot of energy for someone so small," said Joey as he rolled the ball towards me, "and that you look very cute running in circles."

[You find me cute?] I asked, kicking the ball back.

"Very," replied Joey, rolling the ball back at me again, "especially with your blue mouth from the blueberries you ate."

[My mouth isn't blue,] I said so confused that the ball rolled right past me, [my mouth is white.]

"Not right now, right now it's blue."

[Is that bad? That my mouth is blue,] I said, worrying about my safety.

"No. No, I didn't mean to give you that impression," said Joey, shaking his head, "it just means that I will have to show you how to clean your face."

[So I'm not in any trouble?] I asked kicking the ball back at Joey.

"No. No trouble at all," said Joey as he stoped the ball, "you want to see something cool?"

[Sure,] I said, wondering why Joey stoped our game.

Joey stood up, and put the red ball in a large box under his bed, and then returned with a clear ball, the same size as the first, but it sounded like there was something in it.

[I liked the red ball,] I said as Joey sat down.

"You'll like this one as well," said Joey, rolling the ball over to me, "when you kick it, hit it a little harder then before."

[Why?] I asked as the ball stoped in front of me

"You'll see," said Joey.

I looked at the ball. Now that it was closer, I could see three smaller balls inside. Wondering what they would do, I kicked the ball hard, and it went up in the air, strait at Joey's face! As the ball flew threw the air, the three smaller balls inside lit up, making the ball look like it was rainbow colored.

Joey snatched the ball out of the air before it could hit his face, "good kick. We just needed one hard kick to activate the balls inside so it would glow. This time thou, please refrain from aiming at my face."

[Sorry,] I said as he rolled the ball back, [it's so colorful. Kinda like a little rainbow inside a ball.]

"Yes. Not everything is solid color. We can make things in any color imaginable. It only takes time and money."

[What's money?] I asked as we kept playing. I remember Joey saying something about money earlier today, but I didn't have the chance to ask about it before I had passed out.

"Um. How do I explain money?" Said Joey, "money is a agreed upon item that people see as important. If I wanted something from someone, I would have to give them money for it. It doesn't matter if it's food, cloths, or some type of service, everything costs money."

[Why not give the person the thing they want? Then you don't need money.]

"One word. Greed. People who have money want more of it, while people who have lots of stuff want more stuff."

[So there is few things that don't go into greed?] I said shaking my head in sadness, [that's sad.]

"Yes it is," said Joey, shaking his head as well, "I only hope that over time, humans will become better."

Just then, we heard a howling off in the distance, which made me shudder, [what was that?]

"I don't know," said Joey as he reached over to a low shelf and grabbed a shiny thing off, which he pressed a button on the side. Then the top part lit up, and he started taping on it.

Another howl sounded, only this time, the shiny thing started making a humming noise, and then a ding.

[What is that thing,] I asked as Joey focused on the thing in his hand. Since the first howl, we had stopped our game.

"Its called a phone. It allows me to talk to people at any time, at any place. However, that must also have a phone for it to work," said Joey as the phone in his hands made another ding, "you can also get applications, or apps, on a phone, so it will do other things, like identify a sound."

[What was the sound?]

"If this app is accurate, the sound we just heard was the howl of a female Houndoom, the Dark/Fire type pokémon," said Joey, and as he said that, I started to quake in fear, "this app says that at most, it's a level forty five, and, are you ok?"

[No,] I said still shaking.

"Is something wrong?" Asked Joey, looking at me, then realizing why I was shaking, "your afraid of the Houndoom, aren't you?"

[You aren't?] I said looking at Joey in fear, [there big, and have big teeth, and can shot fire. Fire. So much fire.]

"Its ok," said Joey as he picked me up and set me in his lap, "no big scary Houndooms will come here. You are safe here."

When he saw that I was still shaking, he started to sing, softly and with no words, but sing nonetheless. The song was sweet and calming, like the songs my mom would sing to calm me and make me go to sleep. Soon I wasn't shaking anymore, and Joey stoped singing.

[Don't stop,] I said looking up into his kind and gentle face, [please.]

Joey nodded, and continued singing, and soon I joined in. As we sung, our two voices joined together into one sound, like a call to all evil in the world, that it wouldn't harm us. Together, we would always be safe.

Eventually, our song ended, and I could see a smile on Joey's face, "That's the first time I have had someone to sing with."

[It was amazing,] I said smiling, [and I feel much better now.]

"So do I, but now I need to sleep," said Joey as he stood up, and as he did, he picked me up, "and so do you little one."

[Ok,] I said as Joey carried me back to where our beds were, [Can I sleep with you and not in the wooden cave below your bed?]

When Joey didn't respond, I quickly added, [if you don't want me too, then I'll be fine.]

"No, it's fine," said Joey as he got to his bed and put his phone and odd glass things from his face on to the table next to his bed, "I just don't want to crush you in your sleep if I move, but if you want to, then it's fine."

Joey set me down on a pillow, and started getting into bed. As he did, I started to feel something in my mind. I didn't know what it was, but it felt good, like the kiss of my mom combined with the way I felt when Joey and I were singing together.

Once Joey was in bed, he moved the covers so I could get in, which I did. His bed was soft and warm, and as I lay there, I could hear Joey felling asleep.

[Thank you Joey,] I said, not knowing if he could hear me, [you are so kind to me.]

I didn't hear a response for a moment, but as I started to drift off, I heard a reply for where Joey lay.

"Good night little one. Have a good sleep."

(Normal POV)

'Did they just get in bed together?' Asked a half shadow figure as six figures stood around a viewing pool, watching Joey and Lilly.

'Yes, but not that way,' said a small pink figure with a long tail, 'if you watched closely, Joey was just comforting her.'

'We must keep an eye on them,' said a large four legged figure, 'we must be sure that he is the one.'

'I saw how he dealt with the Rotom, and the trainer Steve,' said a small green winged figure, 'and I think he is the one.'

'You may be right Celebi,' said a pink figure with two blue tails, 'and I would usually agree with you, but even thou he shows signs of being the chosen one, we must be one hundred percent sure.'

'Well, what do you want him to do Mespirit?' Asked Celebi, 'Joey is only human right now. He can't do much better than what he is doing now.'

'Ladies, be at peace,' said the four legged figure as he changed into human form and came closer, 'if Joey is the one, then we must not rush into things. The Killing Shadow has not come through, and shouldn't come through for years. If he is the one, then Joey will become his true self in time. Do you understand?'

'Yes Lord Arceus,' said Celebi and Mespirit.

'Good, now Mew, I want you to watch these two closely,' said Arceus as he looked to the pink figure with a long tail, 'and once I decide it is necessary, we will go from there.'

'Yes Lord Arceus,' said Mew as he disappeared.

'Meanwhile, I think I will walk with our new friends,' said Arceus as he turned to look at the viewing pool, which had now changed to a map look of Joey's town, 'and get a feel for them.'

Well, that was nice what Joey did, wasn't it. And apparently, Joey and Lilly are being watched. I wonder what that is about? I guess we will just have to keep reading to figure it all out. Sorry again that J was unable to upload this chapter, but he should have his internet fixed by tomorrow.

J and I always enjoy hearing from you guys, so please be sure to review this story. Any ideas of helpful tips you can think of are always welcome.

But for now, this is L as the Pokemon Writer, signing off.
