Chapter four. My computer is infected with a virus, but I'm working on it. I'm using my dad's computer at the moment while he's not home so that's why it took me so long to update. I hope you enjoy this remotely short chapter and future ones will be better. Sorry for the wait.

Ash yawned loudly as he woke up in his bed pushing the pile of covers that he wrapped around him. The room Ash picked was the first door on the left to the stairs and the design was the same as all the others. The room had a small hall leading into the room where a closet was on the right wall and a bathroom with a shower included was on the left, in the room was a large glass window opposite of the door with a queen sized bed, a desk, a small chair, a cabinet, and a mirror hanging on the sliding closet doors.

Sitting up the sun from the window shined brightly into Ash's face as he stretched his arms up high before heading to the bathroom. As Ash washed up in the shower he quickly got dressed and threw on his hat and headed out.

"Anyone here?" Ash called as he closed his door silently not sure if anyone was awake since it was early and since he'd gone to bed so early he was amazingly awake this early.

"Ash everyone is already awake" Misty explained as she exited her room with her hair a bit damp from the shower. +

"Oh..." Ash said as he was still a bit asleep and started to slowly daze off.

"Wake up champion" Misty snapped as she smacked him on the back of the head making him jump up and realize what was going on.

"It's ok I'm fine" Ash laughed as Misty sighed at this, but smiled at Ash blushing lightly.

"Misty you ok?" Ash asked curious at why she was just starring at her.

"Yeah...I just missed how we use to travel together, things have been boring since Johto" Misty laughed lightly as Ash nodded in agreement.

"Well maybe we can talk about it with Dawn and May while we eat" Ash mentioned as Misty frowned at the remark of the other two being around.

"Well May is still taking a shower and Dawn is working with her hair, so maybe we can just talk for the time being?" Misty asked curiously as she smiled weakly.

"Sure" Ash laughed as he playfully padding her on the back. With this the two made their way down the stairs that stood in front of them and walked off into the over stocked kitchen.

Alex finished the last of his cereal and threw the bowl into the sink before walking off to the next room. The room was long and stretched far across the back of the house, with a window covering every wall it let sun beam in and in the distance Ash could see Corey running lamps around the pool. Looking around he could see Tara and Marley gazzing at the large yard from the patio as the sun beamed brightly this early morning. As Alex made his way back to the stairs he could see Mirya and Christa watching TV in the living room, while Blake sat at the far end of the room watching it from the corner of his eyes.

"Looks like everyone is awake and getting their day started" Alex said to himself as he made his way up the large stairs to the rooms. Looking both ways he could see a few doors open, but the second floor was mainly empty except for a few. Walking down the left side and passing his own room Alex stopped at the next door which was opened and knocked on the open door.

"Who is it?" A voice asked as Delia appeared sitting at her desk all dressed.

"It's me, Alex" Alex called to her as she didn't look up at him.

"Do you need anything?" Delia called to him as she now looked up and spun in her chair to face him.

"No, just wanted to see what you were doing" Alex explained with a smile as Delia seemed to be less tense then yesterday and motioned him to come in.

"So you're a twin, that's cool" Alex stated as he slowly wandered into the room as he looked around curiously with his eyes.

"If you're going to be in here don't say stupid things" Delia stated as she let out a light giggle as Alex was a bit surprised to hear her laugh.

"You laugh" Alex stated surprised.

"I might be mature, but that doesn't mean I can't laugh" Delia explained sharply at Alex who grinned at her.

"So I noticed you playing with the security system today" Alex stated as he sat on the edge of her bed.

"So?" Delia asked.

"It looked liked you knew what you were doing" Alex explained.

"I can hack any piece of technology in a matter of seconds, I was just simply upgrading it on a higher system of alarm" She explained with a smile and she slightly stuck her tongue out at Alex.

"I thought you were mature?" Alex asked surprised.

"Juts wanted to make sure you were paying attention" Delia explained with a smile.

"Why?" Alex asked confused.

"The booklet we got yesterday said there might be challenges and other then my sister I need a partner for some, I just wanted to know how good you observed small things" Delia explained.

"Did I pass?" Alex asked.

"Not sure you tell me" Delia said with a playfully smile at his confused face.

"I noticed Blake's badge was from the Lavaridge gym right away, I noticed those three girls Ash knows are all madly in love with him, I noticed Ash is to stupid to notice that they like him, and I noticed that your sister in blind in one eye" Alex explained in a fast tone.

"I guess that's good for an amateur of course" Delia sighed as she spun in her chair to face the opposite way of Alex.

"I think you're just jealous" Alex laughed playfully.

"Alex, what did you use to do before coming here?" Delia asked as she ignored his comment.

"Um...I created Pokémon tactics for battles, contest, and other things" Alex explained.

"You do need to be observing to do that" Delia stated.

"Yep" Alex said proudly.

"Delia I...Oh...You have a boy in your room" Yuuki giggled as she stood in the doorway.

"It's not what you're think" Delia explained right away.

"It's exactly what you're think" Alex laughed jokingly with a grin as Delia pushed him down to the floor.

"I just wanted to tell you I'm going to look around the third floor" Yuuki explained.

"Ok" Delia said as her sister grinned at the two and walked off.

"Are you stupid?" Delia asked right away facing the boy who lied on her floor grinning.

"No, I just enjoy life" Alex laughed as Delia sighed.

Yuuki, Tara, Marley, Dawn, and Corey made their way up the red carpeted stairs that led up stairs all racing up except for Corey who was a bit tired from his training. Reaching up stairs they entered a short but wide hall with a large set of stairs in the middle it had two large windows at the end of the hall and four on the walls over looking the front. There was few doors in the hall but the hall was decorated with many sculptures and the doors were twice the size of a normal door.

"Hey guys look" Dawn called as she pointed at a piece of paper framed on the wall.

"It says that the third floor holds a gym, a ball room, a indoor pool, a play room, a supply room, and a laundry room" Corey explained as he read the note out loud.

"A haunted play room?" Marley asked curiously.

"No, just a play room" Corey sighed with a smile.

"Plus, the laundry room would proudly be haunted" Tara added on.

"I disagree I think the ball room would be" Yuuki added on correcting the two.

"I think you guys are stupid" Corey stated with a sigh as he was mostly interested in the gym and the indoor pool.

"Let's go check the laundry room for some ghoust!" Marley shouted excited at the thought as she grabbed Dawn and Tara by the arms and ran off down the hall.

"Wait for me I don't to be left with sweaty Corey!" Yuuki cried as she chanced after them.

"I barely sweat when I train!" Corey shouted as he raced after them.

As the group stopped at the door Marley slowly reached for the door and as everyone nodded to her to tell her to continue she swung open the door. Right as the door opened the lights in the room went on and the large room was brightened to show there was nothing in there.

"See nothing" Corey stated.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Marley cried as she made everyone jump and duck for cover.

"What is it?" Tara called out scared.

"A Pidgey flew by the window!" Marley whined as she gripped the stairs railing.

"So you're saying that you screamed because of a Pidgey?" Corey asked frustrated.

"Yes" Marley answered.

"I say we beat the crap out of her" Dawn and Yuuki both stated in dark voices.

"Guys? Are you guys' posested by ghoust to?" Marley asked as she soon realized they group wasn't joking and quickly raced off.

I know it's short, but the next chapter will be longer and it'll extend the first day at the mansion to become longer. Enjoy and stay tuned.
