Ok guys I need some help for this one. I don't know what to nickname Tracy's Fennekin, Jack's Chespin or Seth's Froakie. So please leave a review on what I should name them. Now without further ado I give you the fourth chapter in my story.

Disclaimer: I don't own pokémon only the OC's.

As the trio and the newly obtained starter pokémon walked along the path towards Santalune city they came across a dense forest area.

"This must be Santalune Forest…" Seth said obviously.

Trix looked forward into the slight darkness of the forest "I bet I'll get to have some experience battling while we are in there."

"I'm hoping to catch a new pokémon."

Tracy slightly speed a little ahead, "Well lets no just sit around and let's just do it."

Seth looked at Jack but he only shrugged, "she's like this when she gets excited."

Seth had a question itching in the back of his head that he felt an urge to ask Jack.

"Are you two siblings?" Seth said a little cautiously.

Jack looked at Seth then surprisingly smirked, "Quite the observation. Not many people can really guess that we are brother and sister. I'm surprised it was your first guess."

"Well it was a little simple you know she acts when she's excited for one. Plus you two showed up at the lab at the same time earlier. So I put two and two together and that was my first guess. Next was dating." Seth explained

"Well I still give you props, no matter how you did it. I'm personally glad dating wasn't your first guess… I would've socked you right then and there."

Seth cringed a little bit from the thought of saying that and earning that response. He then noticed that they were at the entrance to the forest. It looked peaceful going down the dirt path grass and trees on either side but a gloomy sense also came with the scenery. But he can see the first cross-road just about one hundred yards ahead.

Seth and Trix both stepped forward to the front of the group, "well then let's get going. We aren't going to accomplish anything just standing here." Seth said with a smirk looking back at the two siblings.

Seth and Trix then plunged into the forest with Tracy and Jack close at their heels not wanting to be left behind.

"Hey wait up!" shouted Tracy, but Seth and Trix just kept on running until they reached the fork in the road. A couple seconds later Tracy and Jack showed up beside them.

Seth smirked at them, "What took you so long?"

Jack and Tracy both glared at Seth, "well I'm sorry," started Jack, "But we don't run that often."

"Well you guys should run more often. It's good to stay in shape."

Tracy huffed still trying to catch her breath from the slightly long sprint.

"Stay-…In shape?-… That run-… almost made me-… puke…" she said all the while sucking in large gulps of air.

Seth chuckled at this comment, "Then at least jog every once in a while. We will be doing a lot of walking."

At this comment Tracy had to let out a defeated sigh.

"Hey Seth any idea how long we'll be in this forest?" asked Jack.

"Well let me just check my map…" Seth then reached into the side-pocket of his backpack unraveling the map his mom gave him.

"Hmmm…" Seth looked at the star shaped island on the map then towards Santalune Forest.

"Looks like we will be in here for at least two days if we walk without breaks… But if we do take breaks… eight hours a night for sleep we should be out in about three and a half days." Seth explained

Tracy seemed like she was going to burst. "You mean to tell us that we are going to spend three days in this place?!"

Seth sweat-dropped at this comment, "well ya… how else are we going to get to Santalune city?"

Tracy looked defeated, "Ugh… forget I said anything…" said while pouting a little.

Seth then turned around after the small chat looking down the paths they could choose.

Jack stepped forward next to Seth, "looks like there are two routes we could take…" he said looked in both directions.

Seth looked at his map, "and I can't tell which one will get us to Santalune city quicker… I think we'll have to split up."

Jack nodded, "good idea." He said and started looking around in his back pack.

Seth looked at him curiously as Jack took out two screen watches. "Here take one. These will help us stay in touch if we ever get split up like now."

Seth took one and examined it. It looked like a basic digital watch but when he touched the screen it had a small layout like a phone. The colors on it somehow matched his taste. Black and purple outlines. Just his style.

Seth put it on, "Thanks Jack I'll be sure to use it." He then looked back at him to see he was holding a small looking earing.

"Ok what's that for? To make me look pretty?" Seth said chuckling

Jack chuckled too, "No this is a translator. It'll let you hear what Pokémon are saying without them having to speak English.

Seth took it, "Do I just wear it like a normal earing?"

"Well ya. That's why it looks like an earring." Jack replied.

Seth looked at it. It was just a simple metal rod and an amethyst socketed on one end. He put it on noticing it didn't hurt when he skewered his ear but ignored it.

"Thanks Jack. I guess we'll see you guys on the other side then?"

"I guess so. I'm just hoping I don't die of complaints from my sister while we go through." Jack said jokingly

Tracy glared at her brother, "Hey I heard that!" she yelled.

Seth sweat-dropped.

"Those two are going to have one hell of a trip through this forest…" Seth thought.

Everyone then said goodbye while Tracy bet that Seth couldn't beat them out of the forest before them. And so with that challenge Seth accepted.

Seth went down the left path while Jack and Tracy went down the right path.

And little did Seth know that they were being watched.

-Off in the distance inside the forest-

As she looked at the small group of people she settled her eyes on the man with dark purplish hair and aquamarine eyes that seemed to become purple from the angle she was at.

"I wonder who he is… he seems very familiar." she thought to herself.

Looking around to make sure no other Pokémon were in the area she slowly creped towards the small group.

She barely went two meters before she saw a Zorua near the group absentmindedly looking around. "Hmmm. Looks like I may have some competition."

She then slinked backward as the small group started to move, two of them moving down one path and her target moving in her direction down the other path. Making sure she was well hidden she crouched in a bush and stayed still waiting for them to pass.

-Back with Seth and Trix-

Seth and Trix started down the path to their left and Trix was oddly alert then when they first entered the forest area.

"Hey Trix… what's wrong? You seem on edge." Seth said slightly concerned.

Trix looked around one more time before looking at Seth, "I just feel like we are being watched. That's all…" And she resumed looking around cautiously.

Seth then decided to drop the subject and switch to a new one.

"So what type of pokémon do you think we are going to find in this forest Trix?" He said attempting to get her more relaxed.

Trix relaxed only a tiny bit but still was mostly alert. "I was thinking we might just find mostly grass types but I heard you can find other types in this forest. Such as and electric type and maybe a dark type."

Seth looked forward down the path noticing a bend. "Hey stay alert… there may be a pokémon around that bend over there." Seth said pointing towards the bend, and at that distinct moment whatever was keeping Trix alert made a noise dead ahead of them.

-Down the path in shadows-

The mystery pokémon was still hiding among the shadows now at a bend in the path that the two others were following.

"Hmmm. I think I might just have to make this process quicker." She thought to herself and got ready to leap out when they came by. Sadly she snapped a twig shifting her position alerting the Zorua instantly.

-Back with Seth and Trix-

Seth noticed the noise and also Trix being instantly alert to it. He then started looking around until he spotted to source of the noise. A pokémon was just standing there in the middle of the path only ten feet in front of them.

"What is that?" Seth asked pulling out his pokédex.

The pokédex beeped and the small screen appeared.

"Absol the dark type Disaster pokémon. While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol using the Absolite." Said the small device and it closed back up.

Seth looking determined to capture it looked at Trix, "You ready for our first battle?"

Trix nodded determination in her eyes as she leapt forward staring down her opponent.

"Let's do this." She said

The Absol nodded in agreement, "Yes let's begin." And with that the battle began.
