"How much longer?" Siren whined, as we had been walking around the cave for twenty minutes. All I keep seeing is dull brown rock, after dull gray rock, I was getting tired of it too, but I didn't have the guts to actually say it.

I'm not sure how, but Siren was emitting a soft light that illuminated the cave for us. So at least it wasn't pitch black in here. I think it was the move flash, but I wasn't exactly sure.

"It's just a little bit longer." Holly reassured us, but to be honest it felt like we might have been lost.

I was getting scared too, as I realized we were inside the dark cave, which I heard had a lot of scary strong pokemon in it. Holly was indeed right as a few minutes later we reached some kind of lake that was mysteriously lit up by something.

"We're here." Holly informed us, turning around to look at me. Siren did some kind of flip out of glee.

"Yay! Finally!" She floated over the lake, reaching some other pokemon I've never seen before. It was dark purple, with menacing red eyes, and a creepy smile.

This pokemon seriously gave me the creeps.

"Siren! What are you doing?" Holly screamed looking really worried all of a sudden, and this in turn made me pretty nervous too.

She didn't know this pokemon? That must mean bad news for us. I slowly backed away, feeling panic wash over me.

"Gengar, use shadow ball." Both me and Holly jumped torward the voice, and saw it was a young male trainer that said it.

His hair was red that went down a little past his shoulders and he wore a dark blue shirt with red outlines and simple blue jeans.

He had a really scary scowl on his face, and I quickly realized this wasn't Lyle, since he didn't have any other pokemon besides me.

I really started to panic now, this trainer is going to try and capture all of us isn't he?

The gengar held it's shadowy hands together and formed a dark sphere of energy, which it then launched at Siren.

She had no time to react as the blob of ghostly energy exploded in her face. The small ghost pokemon fainted almost immediately.

"What should we do Holly?" I looked to the mismagius panicking, trying to hide myself behind her. The ghost type quickly rushed forward, gaining the attention of both the trainer and his gengar.

"Well look what we have here? The evolved form eh? I'll catch you instead!" the boy smirked and commanded his pokemon to attack Holly.

It listened without hesitation, launching another one of those dark energy spheres, directly at the mismagius.

Holly dodged it with ease, and starting singing something. The melody was beautiful yet also scary at the same time. But I also started to feel a little faint, just what kind of attack is this?

I'm not sure how, but the red-haired boy got an even bigger scowl on his face.

"Keep attacking until you hit it." the boy commanded, and the gengar launched many ghostly orbs one after another.

The mismagius keep dodging them all, but it wasn't long before it looked like she was starting to wear down, and I was right as one of the attacks scored a direct hit, creating a large explosion.

I held my hands together, praying she was ok, as there was no way I could take on that ghostly fiend.

As the smoke cleared, I saw Holly floating there, she wasn't down completely, but it looked like that shadow ball did a lot of damage, as she was struggling to stay afloat.

"Looks like it's ready to capture." the boy told himself as he pulled out one of those pokeballs.

Holly's eyes glowed all of a sudden, and her opponent looked like it was having the energy drained from it, as the gengar stopped smiling for the first time since I first saw it, and I gasped. Was this the pain split attack I heard that girl's pokedex say I could use?

She seemed to be healing at the same time as well, as her slump stopped, and she looked just fine. The trainer looked up and saw that Holly wasn't looking nearly as tired as before.

"Damn, that must have been pain split. And I'm out of time too. Quick, return Gengar." the boy spat, calling his pokemon back into it's pokeball.

"Hmph, I'm not interested in catching weaklings like you anyway." the boy huffed as he walked away.

I was shocked, it looked like Holly was about to lose, but she turned it around somehow. She floated down next to Siren, and I ran after her. I didn't know these two well, but they have treated me so well, and it's only right that I do the same.

"How is she?" I sat next to the defeated ghost type, the worry on my face evident.

Holly glances over at me for a moment, before looking back at her sister. "She's hurt pretty bad, I'm going to try and heal her with pain split." I quickly stood up and looked at her.

"You can't! You took too much damage from that battle, and you would be left worn out as well. "Don't you have any more berries?" I pleaded with her, trying to find another way.

"I gave the last berry I had to you." Besides, I don't think she would be able to eat one right now anyway." she explained, looking directly at me.

"Now if there are no more interruptions I'm going to use pain split now." she turned back towards Siren and began to use her move, before I stopped her.

"Wait, let me do it." the mismagius looked a tad confused.

"You're able to use pain split?" she asked as she looked over at me, looking completely surprised.

"Y-yeah, I think so." I leaned down next to the misdreavus, trying to call upon this attack I supposedly knew. I focused as hard as I could, but nothing was happening. I started to panic again, what if she gets mad at me? I don't think I would be able to beat her in a fight. Holly snapped me out of these thoughts.

"Calm down, just imagine you are sharing your energy with her, and that she is sharing her energy with you as well, and it should come easily to you." she told me with a soft look on her face.

"O-ok, I'll try." I did just as Holly suggested, I imagined my energy was being shared with Siren, and that she was sharing her energy with me.

I held my arms up, and, all of a sudden a faint glow emitted from our bodies, and I felt my energy being drained away.

It was working! I can't believe it! My energy continued draining speeding up at an alarming rate, and I started to feel a little weak, but the misdreavus was starting to wake up. Finally the move stopped, and I felt a tad faint but that didn't matter to me.

"What happened?" Siren questioned us as she got up and starting floating.

" You were attacked by a trainer's Gengar, but our friend here used pain split to heal your wounds." The ghost type gestured to me.

"Wow! So you can use pain split? I'm impressed." the misdreavus chirped, quickly becoming her old bubbly self again.

I sat down feeling the need to rest and I smiled up at her."It wasn't a big deal, frankly I was surprised I could do it too."

Siren shook her head at me looking excited. "Well thanks for helping me anyway." She took a quick look around "Where did that human go?"

"He ran off when I defeated his Gengar." Holly told the other ghost type.

"By the way, what exactly were you going to show me before we got attacked?" I asked Holly, wanting to get back on track.

"Oh yes, we have a friend here. They can take care of you." The mismagius floated over to the lake near us and I followed after her, curious to what she could be talking about.
