Alright, I'm back…I would have written sooner, but I have way too much homework lately, I'm always busy, and now this stupid ice/snowstorm here in the Midwest has knocked out our power. Luckily, I have a laptop, so I can write for a while. Without further excuses, here's the review section.

Umm…the reviews section is gonna be only one person, because I had to get a new computer and lost all of my saved reviews that I swear I was planning to reply to. So, thank you to all of you who reviewed, and I'm sorry I can't reply. But thank you to Emperor Kra Frostwing for showing me that someone does care if I continue this story…

Without further ado, here's the next chapter!

-------------------

"BECAUSE I HAVE A TASK FOR YOU"

Those words echoed in Ben's head as he woke up in a cold sweat. That was six months ago, and here he was, in the middle of Arceus-Knows-Where, Hoenn. The events since then filtered through his muddled, half-asleep brain. Leaving home, cutting all ties to family and friends, leaving his Pokemon in the Center, hiking for months on end, crossing the brutal ocean on Jake, in his Blastoise form, and finally here, holed up in this cave like a scared Rattata pack, riding out this storm. Guided all the way by that infernally mysterious glowing head.

-------------------

A fork of lightning split the sky in half, lighting the cotton candy pink hair of Space. She turned to her brother, who was sitting on a log, looking into the fire.

"We're probably the two most powerful beings on the planet, and here we are, hiding because of a rainstorm. This is a great way to 'strike fear into the hearts of mortals,' bro. 'Beware the power of Time, but if it's raining, your safe, because he's afraid of getting wet!"

Time growled and threw a ball of energy at her. She giggled as she skipped out of the way. Nothing made her day more than annoying her brother. The blue haired morph looked up.

"Just because you're part water doesn't mean everyone loves to be sopping wet and miserable."

"Just because you're part steel doesn't mean you'll rust if you go outside, you big baby!"

Time stood up, and in the same motion, changed into Dialga, letting out a ferocious roar into the face of his sister.

"Oooo, scary! That's a good strategy bro! Make them die from horrible morning breath!"

------------------

"Okay, everyone up!"

Amy went around the cave, shaking all the other kids until they woke up. It was only five in the morning, but she wanted to get out of there. They were within a few miles of a Rocket base, which is the last place she wanted to be.

"Up, up, up! Rise and shine!"

Ignoring the angry groans and occasional kicks, Amy made her way to the mouth of the cave. A thin layer of frost covered the ground, and mist formed in front of her when she exhaled. It was a perfect day. Until she saw the black uniforms appear over the hill.

-------------------

"Damn! The Rockets got them… I really wanted the pleasure of killing them myself."

"Why not? Is the big, bad 'Master of Time' to wimpy to take on a few Rockets?"

"No, but I don't want them to see us quite yet. If they do, they'll never leave us alone!"

--------------------

Mission 12843: Capture of unknown entities.

Mission specs: Patrol Group 27 noticed strange figures entering Rocket Base Theta grounds. Figures entered a cave approximately 1.7 miles from base. Targets may be dangerous.

Objectives: Capture targets with as few casualties as possible. If more than 25 of squad is lost, or if any Admins die, call for support and retreat to a safe distance.

Well, that's all for now, folks…tell my how ya like it, no hatemail please! I swear the next one won't be near as long as the last (Emperor won't let me!).
