Sorry I didn't update sooner! I was kind of stuck with where later on was going. But I think I have it figured out now, kinda, maybe...

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own pokemon, just the OCs


KALEB'S POV

"MARINA!" I yelled as I watched her fall to the ground. I ran to her but skidded on my knees as I approached her. That would've been really cool, but we had more serious things to think about right now! She was still breathing. That's a plus. In fact, it looks like she's only sleeping. But I'm no doctor! I need to get some help! I looked around, but suddenly remembered that we didn't mark the way we came, so we were lost. I need to go find the others, or someone that can help! But I can't leave her here alone, how will I find her again? And I can't carry her, because she's a lot bigger than me. What do I do?

"Min? MIN?" Minun yelled, shaking Marina. Min was Minun's nickname for Marina.

"Minun, use thunderbolt on her!" I commanded. Minun followed and shocked her, but she didn't wake up.

"Okay, minun, stays here with her and when I start calling your name, start using thunder shock, so I can find you guys. " I exclaimed. Minun nodded his head quickly, and I ran off. I had no idea where I was going, and it was dusk. I stumbled a couple of times as I ran, looking for someone, anyone! I heard voices. That was my chance. I ran toward them, which led me into a clearing, to see a girl, Marina's age, with a light blue and black bandana. She had brown hair and the same red eyes Cheryl had. She wore a black tank top with light blue lines going through it. She was also wearing a skirt, but like, really short. She had light blue and black striped socks and the same color sneakers. There was a Pichu with a notched ear on her shoulder. I ran to her quickly.

"Excuse me?" I asked softly as I got closer. I'm still a little shy… She didn't seem to hear me, because she was painting her nails and didn't answer me.

"Excuse me?" I asked a little louder. Nothing.

"HELLO?" I asked aggravated and loudly, remembering my sister is still in the woods. She looked startled and dropped her nail polish. She turned toward me with a glare. I shrunk a little.

"What do you want brat?" She asked with an edge.

"U-um, my sister….Please, I need your help!" I pleaded, deciding there was no time for explaining.

"Why should I help you?" She asked, continuing to paint her nails.

"B-because, she's hurt and I don't know what to do." I responded, fear sinking in me as I realized she probably wasn't going to help me.

"And?" She asked, arrogantly.

"Please! I'm really worried." I begged. She laughed. I think I was starting to tear up.

"Well, that's too bad." She responded.

"Please." I begged again, feeling a tear go down my cheek. I don't know what to do, honestly. I thought I did at first, but now… My sister fainted or something, I had to leave minun there to protect her and to help me find them again, it was getting darker, I had no idea where I was, and the only person I could find wasn't going to help me.

"Come on Gucci, let's just help him." I heard a voice from behind me add. I felt my eyes widen. It couldn't be. But that voice… I turned around slowly to see a blonde boy wearing black goggles, with icy blue eyes like mine, the same shirt Marina was wearing except in boy's size and dark blue, black pants, black and dark blue sneakers, same color gloves, a dark blue shoulder bag, and a small bag with a belt around his waist. He was also Marina's age. His eyes widened too. I know I said anybody, but did it have to be him?

"Ka-" I interrupted him.

"Never mind, I'll find someone else." I responded venomously and stormed off. I wiped my tears with my arm.

"You know that brat?" I heard 'Gucci' ask behind me.

"That brat is my brother." I heard the boy sigh.

"Not anymore!" I yelled back, glared at nothing and continued on. Gucci gasped and yelled after me.

"You'll never find help for her at this time of night if you leave now!" She yelled. My storming came to a stop at the end of the clearing; in fact, I came to a complete stop. I looked up to see, it was already darker than before, the first stars were coming out. I sighed and turned my head.

"Well, you coming or not?" I asked slowly, edge still in my voice.

"Well, when you put it that way, no." Gucci answered. I heard my brother sigh. I spun around, fury in my eyes.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" I bellowed at them.

"Kaleb, she was just kidding, isn't that right Gucci?" My brother replied, turning to the girl.

"I was not kidding Aaron! If he wants to act that way, then he can go and try to find other people to help him! Not like he will." She replied, making me growl.

"Gucci, we will help him, he is my brother and his friend is in need." Aaron replied emotionlessly.

"Sister. My sister needs help." I corrected him, which only made him confused.

"Sister? We don't have a sister!" He exclaimed surprised.

"Your right, we don't have a sister, but I do. MINUN?" I yelled into the woods. I saw Aaron frown a little.

"What are you doing?" Gucci asked irritated.

"Calling my Pokémon." I answered quietly. I saw a small spark straight ahead of us.

"Come on!" I yelled, running toward the spark and they quickly followed me.

"Minun?" I called again, and again I got a spark, but this time it was…not in the same spot. It was like it was coming closer to us. I stopped.

"Minun?" I asked, not yelling anymore. Again, there was a spark, but it was coming towards us. I saw Aaron pull Gucci out of the way as an orange and black blur ran past us.

"Marina?" I asked. The blur skidded to a stop. There, Marina was with Minun on her shoulder, eyes widening as she saw me.

"Kaleb, turn around and RUN!" She yelled. I didn't understand, but saw her eyes dart to something in front of her.

"Scratch that thought! Run away!" She yelled again, turning towards us and running in our direction. I don't think she noticed the others yet. We followed her, until she skidded to a stop again. We skidded as well. Her eyes darted around us, like there was something surrounding us. Minun hopped on my shoulder and held on to me tightly. He was scared. But why?

MARINA'S POV

"Marina, what's wrong?" Kaleb asked as my eyes followed a certain red blur. I was terrified. Only because I didn't have my Pokémon, but…

"It's-" I was cut off by a familiar-but-not-so-excited-to-hear voice.

"Oh look, it's the looser!" Gucci teased. I whipped around so fast; I think I almost got a whiplash.

"Gucci?" I asked confused. There was a boy next to her.

"Aaron?" I asked, even more confused as my eyes widened. Then they narrowed dangerously.

"Aaron?" I asked again, venomously. Kaleb smiled.

"I knew you were my sister for a reason!" Kaleb laughed. Aaron turned to him.

"She is the sister that's yours but not mine?" He asked. That sentence was a little confusing, but I got it in a second.

"He's your brother?" I asked, confused once again. Kaleb nodded to both of us. I turned and glared at him.

"Don't send that look to my boyfriend!" Gucci yelled at me.

"Boyfriend?" Kaleb and I asked, the octave in our voices going up. Gucci nodded. Well that's just great.

"Look what you got them into!" The voice in my head shrieked. I growled and clutched my head.

"What, jealous?" Gucci asked. I whipped my head to the right again, ignoring her question, and seeing the blur that I was running from.

"Marina, are you alright?" Kaleb asked me, concerned.

"Your fault! Your fault! Your fault!" The voice sang. I sunk to my knees, clutching my head. My eyes were starting to droop.

"She's jealous!" Gucci laughed. Then I saw the blur again. Kaleb fired the question, and the voice came back louder. I fought the feeling of exhaustion, but it was starting to win me over. I don't think I can take much more of this…

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" It was silent. Even in my head. But it didn't come from my mouth. Oh voice in my head, did it come from you?

"No, I'm only in your head…" The voice trailed, and became quiet again. Aaron kneeled beside me.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly. I stopped clutching my head and turned to him, with my eyes half open.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, looking at the ground.

"For what?" He asked, a smirk on his face.

"For what's about to happen." I whispered and turned my gaze up to him. His eyes were relaxed and mischievous, but now they became worried. I looked at the last place I saw the blur. Coming out to the clearing we were now in, was none other than….our missing group?

"There you guys are, we were starting to get worried!" Misty yelled, running up to us with Joy and Cheryl behind us.

"Gucci!" Cheryl called and hugged her sister. Gucci shoved her off of herself.

"Ugh, I thought I lost you." Gucci replied arrogantly. Aaron turned to me.

"That wasn't very funny. I was worried for a second." He said, getting up.

"What?" I asked confused, looking around. It was only Misty, Joy, and Cheryl? But, they can't go as fast as that blur was going.

"What do you mean 'what'? I have to admit, that was a good prank." Aaron added. I shook my head.

"No, I have no idea what you're talking about!" I shouted, looking around. Misty looked at me.

"Marina, are you alright?" She asked.

"I'm not important, are you guys alright? Were you followed? Did you notice anything weird?" I fired the questions. They looked at me strangely.

"Marina, I think you should rest." Joy added after a while. My eyes shot up wildly to hers.

"Are you sure you're alright?" I asked quickly. She nodded. I sighed and got up off my knees.

"I need to go for a walk." I said quickly and turned around, beginning to walk off.

"Not alone you're not!" Misty yelled. I turned to her,

"Misty, I need to clear my head." I replied tiredly, but also lying. If anything was here, I needed to lead it away from them. It's kind of obvious it's coming after me. I was the only one to see it. She shook her head.

"Not tonight. Tomorrow, after we're out of this forest." She replied steely. I sighed again and plopped to the ground.

"Fine." I muttered as everyone set up their campsites.

"Oh and Kaleb and Marina, you left your Pokémon at the clearing." Misty informed as she threw the poke balls to us. I caught them with ease, as did Kaleb. Aaron and Gucci decided to stay with us because it was already really dark. Aaron's Charizard started our fire, which we all sat around. After sitting down, I didn't move or talk to anyone, thinking about what happened. Joy and Cheryl passed the food around.

"You're going delusional." The voice answered. I growled softly, so no one could hear. Besides, they were talking to each other. Actually, Cheryl was talking to her sister, while her sister pretended to listen and was painting her nails. Misty and Joy were talking to each other about random things, and Aaron attempted to start a conversation with Kaleb, but Kaleb didn't respond. After we ate, Kaleb and Cheryl started talking to each other, and I now realized Cheryl had a Plusle. Oh I get it! Kaleb has Minun's colors while Cheryl has Plusle's! That's so cute! I watched as Plusle and Minun became good friends. I smiled softly and looked to see Gucci was painting her nails again. My smile disappeared. Stupid, vain Gucci. Misty and Joy were still talking to each other, and Aaron was alone. But the voice just had to come back.

"It's not over, you know that. What you saw was real. He's still here. And you're putting your friends and family in danger."
