Hey there guys. :D Thank you for the favs and thank you "Someone" for the review.

To respond to your complaints, I have to say that for the first one…

That was a result of lack of planning. Not so much bad planning…But when I thought of the story in my head, all I did was connect the important plot points. (Using the second chapter of the story as an example, It went something like… "Wake up. Get to the door of dome. Get dragged into talking with the prince. Have the conversation go on for a while. Then go to sleep."

Each of those scenes was well thought out beforehand what I generally wanted to happen. Everything else however was "filler" that was needed in order to let the story make sense and be funny.
I just basically didn't realize how many pages the scene changes ended up taking. Which means that in order to keep a smaller length (And to get it out there), I had to cut chapters off. (I was nervous about the first chapter. So I slightly rushed the events to just make the space rift appear and get right too it.)
…So it ended up with a much slower pace than I thought it was going to. xD;
As for the second question…you'll find out the answers to those questions sometime. :P

Also keep in mind that one of the quotes from the preview has been changed a bit. It's just the one where I order Zoroark to use night Daze.

Now let's…

Chapter 4; Reverse Reverse Start.

…!

I opened my eyes to see a ceiling in front of me. I immediately sat up.

"Huh?" I was lying on the couch, naked yet wrapped in a towel and under covers.

"I guess I fell asleep."

"In the shower." A voice from behind said to me.

I twisted my body backwards to see the older man that invited me in last evening.

"O-Opps…" I sweat-dropped.

"It's no problem. I'm just glad you woke up now. I would of had to pull you awake if you didn't get up soon. It's time for school."

Oh right…school.

"Alright…Where are my clothes?"

"If you're talking about the ones you were wearing yesterday, they're folded right next to you. Oh, and your monsters are out in the back playing."

"In the back?" I asked very curiously.

"Here, I'll show you." He said to me as he motioned for me to get up.

I carefully made sure that the towel was on tight and I stepped out onto the back porch to see Zoroark Pikachu and Espeon playing with Staraptor watching over them.

I smiled; they're still good friends. Though something was off with Zoroark…He seemed like he didn't want to pay attention to them.

I stepped into the grass to feel the wind blowing extremely coldly and I ran back inside to put on my clothes before I continued.

"Brr…"

"Yumi, Don't forget you don't have much time left before you go. It's still quite a walk." The older woman said.

"Yes Ma'am." I responded as I ran outside to greet my pokemon again.

...Only to see Zoroark staring profusely at Pikachu, and Pikachu staring angrily right back.

"H-hey whats the matter you two?" I asked them.

"Pikapi! Pikachu!" She said as she pointed to Zoroark.

"Uhm pikachu, I still don't understand you."

Pikachu sweat dropped, obviously annoyed.

Zoroark just scoffed at Pikachu and me and walked towards the house.

What kind of reaction was that? What's with him?

"Hey Zoroark, what's wrong?" I said as I grabbed his shoulder.

Zoroark stared at me angrily then grabbed my hand and threw me onto the floor.

Pikachu, Staraptor and Espeon all looked at Zoroark with daggers in their eyes. They couldn't understand why Zoroark was acting so pissy.

"Ow…Zoroark…why'd you do that?"

Zoroark just ignored me and walked to stare back at Pikachu as if he was challenging her.

Pikachu's electricity crackled, showing its apparent anger.

"H-hey…Come on guys!" I exclaimed, but they didn't listen to me.

"Oh boy…I expected this." Said a voice from behind me again; it was the old man.

"E-expected?" I asked him.

"Do you have a soothe bell?"

"A soothe bell? Yeah I do but…"

"Go get it and hurry before something starts up."

"R-right." I said as I ran inside to look through my bag for my soothe bell.

I came back to them with it in hand.

"This right?" I asked the old man.

"Yes that's it." He said as he took it from me and went closer to zoroark.

"H-hey! Don't get too close!"

He ignored me and when he got close enough, he waited for Zoroark to turn to him.

When Zoroark did, he rang the bell a few times and hung it around Zoroark's neck.

Zoroark suddenly seemed confused. Like he didn't know what he was doing.

"There. Now isn't that better Zoroark?"

"Zoar…" He responded with a slight moan and lowered his head.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked Zoroark.

"Zor…" Zoroark sweatdropped.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu wacked Zoroark's head.

"Huh?" I asked confused upon what was happening. Zoroark seemed fine now.

"Zoroark's fine now. I don't know why it happened so quickly but…"

"What happened so quickly?" I asked him.

"Most monsters are irritable for no real reason. As to why I said "quickly"…" He paused.

"Oh look at the time! Time for you to get to school!" He said as he pushed me too return my pokemon and run towards the school.

Why didn't he want to answer that question? Well it didn't matter because he basically just kicked me out the front of the house.

I sighed, and then sent out Zoroark before we left the property.

"What was with you?"

Zoroark didn't give an answer. I assumed it was because he wasn't even sure himself.

I deeply sighed this time. "Are you okay right now?"

Zoroark responded healthily.

"That's good…but just in case I want you to walk with me. Just illusion yourself to look like another kid okay?"

I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a second of what Zoroark did. He's very rarely been that pissed over nothing that I could see.

Zoroark happily complied, letting its eyes glow for a second then he took the form of…me as a guy.

"Couldn't think of anyone else?" I asked him.

Zoroark smiled with my face.

"Heh. Alright that's fine. Let's just go."

Zoroark nodded and we walked off towards school.

-During the time right after me and Zoroark started walking towards school-

Inside of the dresser's room however, there was something else going on. The prince stepped inside of the room.

"Oh look, she cleaned this place up. I'm glad, it makes getting to them much easier." He said to himself.

He opened the door to what looked like a closet, but in reality was a flight of stairs downwards. He went down them, careful not to fall.

When he got to the bottom, there were scientists in lab coats everywhere. One in particular was familiar from before.

"Hey Suzie. What did you call me down here for?"

"The prince?" One girl turned around and looked at him. She was the Dresser girl that gave me my clothes.

"Relax, you don't need to be so formal with me."

"But I want to. It makes you look cooler then you actually are."

The prince felt a sting from that. "Hey now…Come on…That wasn't needed."

"Oh trust me, it was. Now as for what I wanted you for…I honestly can't remember. But I think I was pissed at you for deciding stuff on your own."

"I'm sorry okay! She seemed like she knew what she was doing."

"You should know that no human could fix this by themselves. You know the conditions."

"Yes ma'am…"

Though I admit not informing you on our progress was part of the problem…"

"Part of it she says…" The prince mumbled.

"I'll put all of the blame on you if you don't shut up."

The prince immediately shut up.

"Good boy. No-" Suzie was cut off by a screaming assistant.

"Ma'am! We got a lock on it for a just a second!"

"Really?! Bring me there right now!" Suzie said in response.

"A lock on that energy emission you guys were talking about?" the prince asked.

"Yes, but only for a second! Then it dispersed and gave us multiple signals once more…"

"What do you think was causing it?"

"I dunn-"

Suddenly, the prince's phone rang. He picked it up.

"What is it?"

He heard what the other side had to say.

"Damnit…That girl…I can't believe her. You have full permission to use monsters!" The prince held back his frustration.

-Meanwhile, back to me-

"Let's stop by the fountain Zoroark! I'm already tired from walking."

Zoroark looked at me in a questionable manner.

"Okay fine, I just wanna stop. Come on, please?"

Zoroark shrugged his shoulders and obliged.

We sat down at the edge of the fountain and I looked at the water.

Suddenly Zoroark shouted and a blue ball like thing hit me on the head, almost knocking me into the water.

"W-what in the world?" I said as I looked down at this blue ball with what looked like cracks in it.

Then it suddenly uncurled to reveal itself as a living thing, and it looked hurt badly.

"W-hat are you? You look slightly familiar…" I said as I examined it. I pulled out my pokedex and when I scanned it, the pokedex said it was a sandshrew due to the body make up.

"So you're blue huh? I'm assuming that makes you a water type judging by patterns…"

The thing looked like a little baby; I couldn't help but want to care for it. Who could do such a thing to this poor Sandshrew?

Zoroark suddenly tried to gain my attention.

"What is it Zoro-"

I looked behind me to see I was surrounded by guards and the fountain was to my back.

"W-what is it?" I asked them nervously.

"Hand over the monster in your hands!"

Are they talking about this Sandshrew? Were they the ones that did this to it? I was suddenly slightly angry and annoyed. Perhaps I should of expected this considering what the prince told me, but actually seeing the effects burned me up. I didn't want them to touch the Sandshrew, it's not like the thing could do harm even if it was angry. Wait…was that what Zoroark was affected by? Wait, damnit this isn't the time for thoughts about past events…

"Hand it over now." They said threatening me with electrically charged spears.

…I couldn't take this. All of this was too much. It was too different from where I come from. To me, if I couldn't live in a world where pokemon were accepted, then everything was bad. I couldn't help it, the idea that pokemon were my equals and that we helped and supported each other was too deeply ingrained me to care. I knew it was a bad idea, and I knew fighting here would do no good, but I wasn't sure what else to do. Everything… was just…too…different.

"Zoroark…" I said under my mouth as I clenched my fists.

Zoroark looked at me confused.

"Double Dark pulse, clear them out of here…"

"What did you say?!" They inched closer.

Zoroark knew he had no time to question my orders, so he responded by gathering dark energy in his hands in the form of circling rings.

"Remember, We don't want to hurt you gir-Hey, what is that kid doing?! Energy?!"

Zoroark let loose the pulses and cleared the area of guards; they were pushed back into rubble.

"Let's hurry, Zoroark reveal your form, it's alright!"

Zoroark did so, and then followed me as I ran into the connecting alleyways between apartments.

"Don't worry little Sandshrew, it'll be alright." I said to it as we were running.

It looked up at me and smiled a bit, snuggling into my chest. (I was so anxious at the moment that the breasts thing didn't even pop up in my mind.) I then took out an empty pokeball and captured the sandshrew. Only for a little bit will you have to stay with me, I promise…

"We're going right Zoroark!" I said as we reach a 4 way point in the alleyway. But before we could get there, a big blue instead of red Charizard landed on the ground in front of me.

I skidded to a stop and tried to turn around. Following its landing, the aqua blue Charizard fired off a water move of some sort as I ran in the other direction. Before the water move could make contact with me, Zoroark stepped in front of the jet of water, tanking it with his hands. Knowing what Zoroark was going to do before it even happened; I grabbed Pikachu's pokeball and maximized it.

"Pikachu, use thunderbolt, no questions asked!" I exclaimed as I threw Pikachu's pokeball onto the ground next to Zoroark to release her.

Pikachu heard my order and summoning electricity in less than a second, she fired it off at the blue Charizard, shocking it to the core. Immediately the water stopped spraying and Zoroark could move freely again.

"Zoroark, send it flying with another dark pulse!"

Zoroark gathered dark energy once again and fired it off at the already being electrocuted Charizard and sent it directly into the back wall of the alleyway.

With no time to rest, a guard jumped down from the top of the left building and began charging at me with spear in hand.

"Zoroark, help me out here!" I exclaimed as I readied myself. Zoroark's eye's gleamed in response.

I ran towards the guy as he seemed confused and punched him hard in the stomach.

"Pikachu now!" I said as I jumped backwards to achieve a safe distance.

Making her tail become a glimmering silver, Pikachu jumped into the sky and then slammed her iron tail into the guard's head, beating him into the ground.

He wasn't dead, but that damn looked like it hurt.

Zoroark barked to gain my attention, and I looked back over to see a dark blue hippowdon walking towards us while calling down rain from above due to drizzle I presumed.

Next to the Hippowdon stood a guard with a scowl yet a smile on his face.

"Now that you've gone and caused trouble, I'm afraid we'll have to capture you. And damn do I want to know how you manage some to coordinate those monsters. You're gonna have to teach me after we do capture you."

Heh, He thinks he's gonna capture me? Good luck trying. I don't think they even know how to fight with pokemon correctly. They may be dangerous in numbers, but I doubt they have ever even fought together much.

"Like hell I will." I said as I grabbed my third Pokémon, Espeon, and released her into the world.

"Hippowdon; Surf! Swamp this whole area!" The guy exclaimed.

Hippowdon called upon and gathered energy from inside and outside of itself to summon a giant wave of water meant to flush me out of the alleyway.

"Espeon Pikachu Zoroark, Stay close to me!"

They all gathered around me ready for my next order.

I waited until the wave was extremely close, then I shouted "Use Protect Espeon!"

A green shield of energy appeared around us right before the wave crashed over us. But they didn't see that, and that was part of my plan.

When the water washed out of the alleyway, my Pokémon and I were gone. Not anywhere to be seen.

…At least to their eyes.

Two more guards then appeared on the scene. One with a blue Sandslash, and one with a blue Camerupt.

"Sir, did you get her?"

"Yes I believe so. Though it's strange, I figured we would have at least seen her and her monsters wash out into the open. But I haven't seen anything."

At the very instant he finished those words; Camerupt was lifted into the sky by a force unknown to them.

"W-what in the world?" the guard standing next to the Camerupt exclaimed before being slammed into the wall by the very same psychic'd camerupt.

"Where in the?!" Another guard yelled.

Out from behind the guard next to the hippowdon came a huge amount of electricity that shocked the remaining two guards and their pokemon to fainting.

This electricity gained the attention of an unknown boy standing on top of a building a little ways away. He then started towards the source; jumping from building to building.

"Good job Pikachu." I said as I petted the panting Pikachu.

Zoroark was standing in the same place that we were standing when we hid under Espeon's protect, and he was quite tired.

"I know that was tough to create the illusion like that under that much stress, but thanks Zoroark." I said to him.

Zoroark smiled trying to signify that he wasn't tired, but it obviously took its toll on him. Still, he was raring to go. There may not have been a battle as life threatening as this one, but there had been much tougher ones.

"Come on guys. Let's hurry up and get out of here." I said to them.

They all complied and walked with me towards the fountain. When we got near the fountain, I heard glass break a little far away, and I ordered everybody to be ready.

Then, out of the windows, guards jumped out. In almost every window I can see, two to three guards jumped out of them. And they already surrounded me again; this time completely.

"Yes sir!" They all said in unison to no one in particular…?

Well whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. Them surrounding me and not attacking made my choice of moves easy.

"Espeon, Use protect over me and Pikachu!"

A Green energy shield once again surrounded me and Pikachu.

"Zoroark; use a full powered Night Daze!"

Zoroark Gathered dark energy into a ball and then slammed it into the ground, expanding the move like an explosion. The explosion ripped apart some of the ground right where it was hitting and it destroyed edges of the stone apartment. The guards were sent flying in all directions, not one of them seemingly conscious after that.

"Great Job Zoroark." I said as I returned Espeon and Pikachu. I only did this because I planned to escape the city through illusion. And hiding both me and him was hard enough, Pikachu and Espeon weren't needed.

Before Zoroark could respond however, the ground started shaking.

"A-an earthquake?!" I yelled.

Around the area where Zoroark used Night Daze, not to mention where he is right now, the ground started cracking and black light started seeping through those cracks.

"W-what? Zoroark I think you should get away from there!" I yelled.

Now the ground completely broke open and a pitch black slate made of something I couldn't tell floated up emitting pulses of…some type of energy. Though the earthquake have stopped, so that's a good thing.

"W-what is that thing?" I asked to no one in particular.

Then I noticed something. Zoroark was mesmerized by the floating thing. So I called to it to get its attention.

"Zoroark!"

His only response was to raise his hand towards the floating slate.

"Uhm Zoroark, I don't think it's a good idea to touch that…Hey, are you listening to me!?" I exclaimed.

It was to no avail, Zoroark completely ignored me. So I decided to take the easy way out. I reached for zoroark's pokeball, but before I could do anything, Zoroark grabbed the slate and immediately pulses of dark energy flew past me knocking me off balance and it made me drop his pokeball. It felt like I was hit by a dark type move…what could this mean?

I looked back at Zoroark to see him struggling and slightly moaning while the slate poured dark energy into him.

"Zoroark! Che…" I looked back down to see that suddenly Zoroark's pokeball was gone and that the world had gained a dark red, almost black tint to it.

I tried to speak, but then I realized that there was no air for me to breath. No air? I turned to see zoroark staring at me with his eyes glowing red. He gathered energy entirely from inside himself, and started powering a dark pulse.

I had to get out of here. I didn't even try to take a breath before I got caught in this…hell does that even matter? This is an illusion after all…

I tried to run but I was immediately caught by crystalized water, and then the crystals started encasing me from the legs up. Damnit! I can't hold my breath much longer…What's going to happen to me? Why is Zoroark doing this…? It's because of…that…slate…right?

I couldn't even think much longer. I was feeling light headed from the supposed lack of air…Zoroark's illusions were never this powerful…

The crystals incased me up to my belly, but it didn't matter. I was already loosing consciousness from no air. Zoroark…why…?

Zoroark smiled, unable to control himself. He jumped up high above me and was about to fire an overpowered dark pulse when suddenly…

While in the air, a normal Flygon using dragon rush smashed into Zoroark sending him flying into one of the apartment buildings, immediately ending the illusion.

The crystals disappeared and I could suddenly breathe just fine. That was scary…

"Hey! Are you okay?!" Said a voice from the top of the apartment building that was to the left of me.

"W-were you the one that saved me?" I asked him, completely nerve wracked over the earlier scenario.

"What? Oh hold on… Flygon come over here!" Flygon obliged and flew towards to the boy.

The boy jumped off the top of the apartment building, stepped on flygon as the dragon flew past, and then landed on the ground.

Where have I seen those acrobatics movements before…? And a normal Flygon too? Nah, couldn't be her…Could it? My mind was pondering the thought of the boy being the gender changed version of Kuri…but I wasn't about to ask that thought out loud, it'd be too embarrassing.

"I'm sorry… I couldn't hear you from up there. Could you say what you said again?" He asked me.

"I was asking if you were-" I was cut off by the boy.

"Hold on! Flygon, be ready!" he exclaimed.

"huh?" I said in confusion.

"Look behind you, the Zoroark's still conscious."

I turned around to see Zoroark getting up out of the rubble. He looked beat up…

"Flygon. Don't give it an inch to get ready. Use Draco Meteor!"

The Flygon gathered dragon energy into the form of a ball of orange light.

"Fire!" The boy ordered.

The flygon aimed upward and shot 20 or so streams of dragon energy that arched right back into the ground where Zoroark was getting up at.

When the lights crashed down, they crushed Zoroark underneath them, causing Zoroark to faint from too much damage being taken.

"Z-zoroark…" I mumbled in a whiny way.

"There you go!" He exclaimed, but paused when he saw my reaction.

"Wait, what's the matter? And may I ask your name so I have something to call you by?"

"err…My name's Yumi…and the thing is…that's my Zoroark, I was friends with it…"

"Oh…"

"But thanks for helping me…"

"I'm glad I could help. Is this what they meant by Pokémon having slight anger problems?"

"huh?" I said in amazement. He knew what "Pokémon" were? Though in my surprise I completely ignored the question posed to me.

"O-oh, uhm…Pokemon's just a word I use to describe 'monsters'. Oh silly me, I really should be using nicknames." He said as he stuck his tongue out at me. Do guys do even do that?

Maybe…Maybe he's from wherever I'm from!

"It's a nickname I know too." I said in response.

"You know it?!" He exclaimed with excitement.

"Yeah. And speaking of pokemon…" I said as I picked up Zoroark's pokeball and returned him.

"A pokeball?! They lied to me! There are people with pokeballs here…" he said in a somewhat pouty way.

Ha, he must be from my world if he's saying that. He has to be. But before I question him…

"Give me a second…"

"Uhm…okay?" He said confused.

I walked over to where Zoroark was before I returned him to his pokeball and picked up the dark slate from earlier. It wasn't pulsing any energy anymore, in fact, it felt fine now. It was just a black colored slate made out of something I couldn't recognize. I knocked on it, and nothing. Just great…

The boy walked over to me and looked at me, then directed his attention at the slate.

"What is that?" He asked me.

"I don't know. But it's the thing that made my Zoroark go insane...I'm almost sure of it."

"Oh…I'm sorry."

"It's fine." I told him as I put the slate into my bag. After all this, I finally regained my composure. Grasping the full situation, I realized that I don't think the guards were done yet. Actually, where are the guards that Zoroark hit away with Night daze? They're not in the spots that we left them in…Then the bad realization came to me.

"Uhm…What's your name?" I somewhat whispered to him.

He took a moment to respond, but then he said "Kuron. Kuron's my name. Why are we whispering though?"

"Because…" Suddenly I was grabbed from behind in a way that which prevented me from getting to anything important.

"D-damnit!" I exclaimed with annoyance.

"Shut up little girl." Said the guard.

"Che…" Was my only response.

"W-what?!" Kuron screeched and kicked and managed to get out of the guard's grip.

He then took a fighting stance, ready to fight them off if need be.

"I wouldn't do that. The girl might get hurt." One of the guards said.

Kuron froze. He didn't move. He just stood there standing and staring at me, seemingly to contemplate what do to. But his face…it looked…Scared.

"I would hurry up and return the monster to where it came mister. I might have to do something with little Yumi here."

This guy knew my fake name? Probably sent her by the prince himself. Oh god was he going to be pissed…Though I hated this; I can't believe I was playing the damsel in distress. The literal damsel... Ugh…

"I…" Kuron started.

"Yes?" the guard said.

It was slight but…I could see Kuron shaking. Was he that scared? I guess it's not an easy choice but…

"I-I g-give…" Kuron said as he returned Flygon to its pokeball. Then he raised his hands up, and the guards grabbed him.

"Now you two will be coming with us." The guard holding onto me said as he forced me to walk towards the palace.

-At the palace in a hallway-

The guards opened up a door to a rather dark room with two chairs in it and a few people over on the other side of the room. They sat us onto the two chairs violently and tied our hands, our bodies, and our legs to the chairs with rope.

I looked over at Kuron and he seemed to be a little bit better than before, but he still didn't want to talk much.

"I'm sorry I got you dragged into this…" I said to him.

He paused before responding, than said "No it's okay. The fact I had pokemon was going to be found out eventually…"

I was about to question that when suddenly the prince coughed to gain attention to him once more.

I mentally tried to avoid eye contact with him, because I knew he would be pissed.

"I trusted you…and you failed me. Do you have an explanation?" He asked me.

"...I do, but would it make a difference?" I responded while looking away from the prince.

"That depends on the explanation."

"Would you be willing to let me explain it? I need my bag…"

The prince paused, then gave me a stern look.

"Alright. I will release you from your binds to allow you to do this. However…"

The prince pulled from under his cape a short sword. Very deadly looking.

"This right here is a sword. A sword forged by real forgers. A sword forged not by energy like Pokémon attacks, but by pure raw materials and heat. Ergo, you have no resistance to the attributes of it. Meaning that you will die if I stab you."

I gulped, extremely nervous. I wasn't sure what to think at the moment, my brain wasn't working.

"W-whats it for…?"

"It's for if you try to escape or do anything but the explanation. I don't have time nor am I the mood for games this time."

I gulped again.

"A-alright…fine…" I responded.

The prince then cut the ropes binding me with the sword and directed me to where my bag was.

Nervous, I took a while finding it trying to uselessly condense my thoughts. The fear I felt from something that could kill me in an instant was a little too much pressure for me. It made me scramble, and I was afraid I'd mess up my explanation of the events that transpired.

After a little bit of stalling on my part, I grabbed the slate out of the bag and turned to the prince.

I took a deep breath…Then explained.

"This slate made my Zoroark go berserk. The moment he grabbed it, he tried to choke me with an illusion and kill me. I had no control over his actions…"

"Intriguing…Suzie, come ov-"

The Dresser girl came in with excitation and took it right from him.

"This has to be it! I can feel it! I'll be right back with the results!" Suzie exclaimed as she went down the stairs of that led to the laboratory that I didn't know about.

"Man she's fast…Oh well." The prince said with a sigh.

"S-so what does that mean?"

"We'll both find out after Suzie, the girl that just took that slate away from me, finishes. But there's another part to this…Why in the world did you attack our guards?" He held the sword to me.

"If I said it, it wouldn't matter…" I explained to him.

"While I agree with that to probably be the case, you should stop accepting your fate so much. I don't care if it's an excuse; explain to me what your reasoning was."

I paused, and then I decided there was no escaping telling him what I felt.

"I attacked them because they were attacking and hurting a baby "monster". I couldn't stand it; the thing couldn't even hurt them…!"

"Did you understand the context of the situation?" He asked me.

Urgh…Those words pierced me. I gave no response.

"So you acted on impulse to protect a monster?"

Again, no response, he was reading my mind basically.

"Let me ask you a final question…Is it so wrong to want to keep monsters out of the city or working for us when they specifically turn on us in random fits of rage? Is it wrong when they are the ones to put us into this situation?"

…No. Of course it isn't. But I couldn't answer that. Even if I knew that was the right answer, I'd be contradicting my actions, or at the very least proving him correct.

After some time of silence, the prince sighed and slightly face palmed. He then sheathed his sword.

"I don't want to believe it, but what Grant and Chile told me all those years ago was true. I can't imagine any other situation plausible enough to fit."

"H-huh?" I said to him in confusion.

"Alright, let's fully prove this. Yumi, are you really a guy?"

Wait WHAT? How did he know that?!

"U-Uh…" I paused.

"Not anymore…" I said as I looked away.

Kuron's ears perked up at this, and he paid full attention now.

"Figured so. And you came from someplace else, not on this world correct?"

"I-I think so…"

The prince sighed. "This just got a whole lot bigger…"

"H-how did you know that though!?" I exclaimed somewhat embarrassed.

"I didn't. I only assumed based upon two other people. That Couple that let you stay at their house? They told me that's where they came from. And that they had an unexplainable sex change, and that they knew monsters as Pokémon. I didn't believe them, but being the nice guy I am and it being the policy of our country, I let them find a place to stay here. They were the ones that managed to tame Hanachu with some sort of bell."

Wow…That's news to me.

"How long have they been here?" I asked him.

"Twelve years. They've been here for twelve years." He explained.

"Wow…So I'm not the only one…"

"Uhm… uh…" Kuron tried to get our attention.

The prince turned to him and asked, "What is it?"

"I think I'm from the same place as her...or him…okay fine, the same place as Yumi!" He said.

The prince sighed again.

"It is true that I haven't seen you here before…But before we go on with that…Speaking of "Yumi", is that your real name Yumi Takagami?" he asked as he turned to me.

Kuron flailed as much as someone could flail while tied to a chair.

"Yumi Takagami?! Domo's sister?! Aren't you a little old to be her?" he exclaimed and asked.

Oh boy, I expected this. It's Kuri alright. That actually made me happy though.

"No Kuri, I'm really Domo himself…" I told her…or him. Whatever.

Kuri showed quite a range of facial expressions at that moment.

"D-Domo! I thought me and Chason lost you!" she errr, he…ah you know what? I'm just going to refer to Kuri as a girl no matter if she's a girl or a boy. It's just too confusing otherwise…

The prince coughed. "I hate to interrupt the reunion between friends…bu-" The prince was cut off by Suzie screaming, "YESSSSSSSSSSS. THIS IS IT!"

The prince thought to himself "Can I EVER finish a conversation…?"

Suzie came running in wearing a lab coat and glasses holding the slate in hand.

"This, this is the source of our problems! And it's gone for good!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"The source you say?" The prince asked.

"Yes!"

"Uhm, if I may say so, am I missing something…?" I asked them.

Suzie sighed.

"I'll start from the beginning for you two, get ready for a long explanation…"

Chapter 4 end.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOUH.

Cut ya off didn't I? sorry. XD But tells me what you thought of the chapter eh? :P I can't believe I managed to type up 12 pages of stuff in 6 hours with my attention span…(it was actually really good this time. :D). The other 5 pages were from before. But in anycase, I assume the reason why I got so into this is because this is THE chapter that comes together to explain so much…yet still leaves you with a bunch of questions.

…Oh and it was my first time "writing" a battle of the sorts. (I've thought of plenty. Lol) Tell me what you think of that too.
