Hey everyone!

(Hears machinery and see three heat-seeking missiles pointed at me…)

Gulp…can you shut those off?

Sasha: Nope…not until you post!

Crap...ok! Let's go-and this chapter will feature the Pokémon that won in the poll!

After staying at the Center, Sarecus and the group began to travel down Route 5, enjoying the scenic route and the Pokémon playing around. Sarecus was hoping that the discussion they had yesterday was dropped…but luck wasn't on his side.

"You have a child, Sarecus…that's interesting," Setsu said.

"Well, she is a bundle of joy…even though she's a Blaziken," Sarecus replied.

He then turned his head to see Shauna and Serena talking with Jewel and, from the looks of it, they were having the hell of a time. Sarecus walked up and looked at Setsu with a smile.

"So, Setsu, what other Pokémon do you have?" Sarecus asked.

"Well, besides my Dratini and Dewott…I also have a Fennekin," Setsu smiled.

"So you chose the Fire-type Starter, huh?" Sarecus said.

"Yeah…she's a cool fox," Setsu smiled.

The two friends chatted as they continued down the route before they noticed the sun was setting.

"Well…it looks like we're gonna camp for the night," Sarecus sighed.

At that, Serena looked at Sarecus with a raised eyebrow and shocked looks.

"Camp?! In the woods?" Serena asked.

"Well…I wouldn't say the woods…but, yeah," Sarecus smirked.

Serena was a little scared when she felt a pat on her shoulder. When she looked up, she saw Jewel tossing a thumbs-up at her.

"Don't worry! I'll protect you!" Jewel said confidently.

Serena smiled and thanked Jewel for her protection.

-Night-

"Phew…"

"Ah-phew…"

"Zzzzzzzz…"

Those were the sounds of Serena, Jewel, and Shauna as they slept next to each other. Sarecus was trying to sleep…but he kept having nightmares about his previous journey. He got out of his sleeping bag and stretched.

Damn it all! I can't sleep…huh?

When he looked by the fire, he saw Setsu looking at the moon. Sarecus wondered why Setsu was up, but didn't want to pry. He was about to lay back down, but then he heard the sniffle. Sarecus huffed and looked at Setsu for a minute and got up.

Not to pry…but I can't stand to see my friends down…

Setsu didn't notice Sarecus until he sat down on the ground next to him.

"Huh? Oh, Sarecus…I didn't see you there," Setsu said.

"It's okay…but are you okay?" Sarecus asked.

Setsu looked at Sarecus with a raised eyebrow before he noticed that Sarecus was pointing to his eye.

"Huh? Oh, um, it's nothing," Setsu said, wiping his eyes.

Sarecus looked at his friend with a raised eyebrow, but left it at that.

"So, Sarecus…why are you up?" Setsu asked.

Sarecus looked at Setsu and rubbed his temple.

"Well…something went down in Unova last year that still torments me," Sarecus said.

"What was that?" Setsu asked.

Sarecus thought about it for a second before he grasp his head in pain.

"Oww…damn you, Yakira!" Sarecus growled.

"Yakira? Who's that?" Setsu asked.

Sarecus growled for a second before looking at Setsu.

"She's an older Giratina that was sealed by Ghestis in his left eye," Sarecus growled, "And, after I captured her…"

"What?" Setsu asked.

"Well, it's her demonic heat…and with her contract with me…it hurts my brain…" Sarecus growled.

"Oh…why'd you sign the contract?" Setsu asked.

Sarecus looked at his friend and smirked a little.

"I had to…or she would be tormenting the real world through the Distortion World," Sarecus said, "I had sacrificed myself so no one would get hurt."

"Hmm…nice play," Setsu smirked.

"I guess…to spare many of her antics…so, what's your story?" Sarecus said.

Setsu looked at Sarecus and shook his head.

"Fair's fair, I guess. Well…I used to live on Cinnabar Island," Setsu said, "But…something terrible happened…"

"Care to tell?" Sarecus asked.

Setsu closed his eyes and Sarecus saw tears running down his cheeks.

"It…it was that bitch's fault!" Setsu cried.

Sarecus looked at Setsu and threw up a thumbs-up.

"Stop worrying. If you let that traumatize you…well, it can slow progress," Sarecus smiled, "Plus, if I meet this chick, give her a slug for me."

Setsu wiped his eyes and extended his fist. Sarecus smiled and bumped fists with Setsu.

"Thanks, man…I needed that," Setsu smiled.

He then got up and went back into his sleeping bag, leaving Sarecus next to the fire. As he sat, he felt his head pounding like a jackhammer.

You done yet, sweetie? ~

"I'm done…what you want, Yakira?" Sarecus asked.

Come to me, my dear slave~

Sarecus then fell into a dark portal and he sighed.

Damn contract….well at least she's a MILF…

-Next Day-

The group continued down the route before they reached Camphrier Town.

"Alright…we're getting closer to Cyllage City!" Shauna smiled.

"Nice! Well, I want to check out the Shabboneau Castle," Sarecus said.

Setsu, Shauna, and Serena looked at Sarecus with raised eyebrows.

"Really, the Shabboneau Castle?" Setsu asked, "Why?"

"Because…I've always wanted to go into the castle," Sarecus said.

Setsu smiled and patted Sarecus' shoulder.

"Well, I'm gonna head to the Boutique. Wanna come?" Serena asked.

"I will! I will!" Shauna cheered.

"Guess I go with you guys as well…sorry, Sarecus," Setsu said.

"No, no. It's cool. Go 'head," Sarecus smiled, "I'll catch up."

Setsu nodded and was pulled by Shauna and Serena. After that, Sarecus walked to the castle and entered it.

-Shabboneau Castle-

Sarecus looked around the castle, amazed at the architecture. He walked around a little bit more before he met the guardian of the castle.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Sarecus said.

"Hmm…don't apologize," the guardian said, "You're a trainer, right?

"Yes, I am," Sarecus said.

The guardian smiled and gestured for Sarecus to follow him, to which Sarecus did. The guardian led Sarecus to a room filled with baby Pokémon.

"Whoa…what's this?" Sarecus asked.

"Well, this is our home for abandoned Pokémon," the guardian smiled, "We try to find them good trainers to take care of them."

"Oh…May I?" Sarecus asked.

"You may. Pick anyone you want," the guardian said.

Sarecus looked at the rambunctious Pokémon until his eyes fell on two shiny Pokémon-a Fennekin and a Goomy. However…the two Pokémon seemed to be at each other throat.

"What about those two?" Sarecus asked.

"Them? No one picks them due to their nature," the guardian explained.

Sarecus nodded as he walked over to the two Pokémon. When the Pokémon saw him, they gave him a glare that scared him…a little.

"Hello, little guys," Sarecus said.

"Do I look like a guy to you?!" the Fennekin snapped.

Sarecus shook a little as he looked at the Fennekin.

"You can talk?!" Sarecus asked.

"Am I saying my name over and over?" Fennekin asked.

"No…" Sarecus replied.

He then turned to the Goomy, who immediately hid behind the Fennekin.

"So scary…OW!" Fennekin snickered.

Goomy bit Fennekin's tail, causing her to howl. Sarecus snickered at this before turning to the guardian.

"I want to take these two," Sarecus smiled.

The guardian was, in a word, shocked.

"Are you sure?" the guardian asked.

"Yep! These two will be my new friends!" Sarecus said.

The Fennekin and Goomy looked at Sarecus with wide eyes.

"You want us?" the Goomy asked.

Sarecus gave her a smile, causing the Goomy to blush. The Fennekin looked at Sarecus with a raised eyebrow and smiled.

"Fine…I'll go with you," Fennekin smiled.

Sarecus grabbed a Cherish Ball and captured the Goomy. Afterwards, he released her from the capsule.

"What's your name?" Sarecus asked.

"Um…it's Larenia," she replied.

"Larenia, huh? That's a cute name," Sarecus smiled.

Larenia blushed at Sarecus' comment and cuddled next to him. Fennekin sighed as she unleashed a Heat Wave at Sarecus and Larenia. Sarecus shook off the attack (leaving him a frizzed afro) and used a Prism Ball to catch Fennekin. After the capture was complete, he released the Fennekin and growled at her.

"You little fox! What's your name?" Sarecus growled.

Fennekin did a little strut before sitting in front of Sarecus.

"I'm known by the name of Yukima," she said sweetly.

Sarecus looked at Yukima with a raised eyebrow and was about to say something before someone came in to the guardian.

"Come quick! We have a major problem!" the person said, worry in his voice.

Sarecus noticed this and walked to the guardian.

"I can help in this endeavor!" Sarecus smiled.

The guardian nodded and the trio ran out the castle, ready to solve the problem…whatever it was…

And I am done! Cut off the damn missiles!

Sasha: Nope!

Luxferre991: Can't do it.

? : This is what you get!

Wait…how did you…! (Missile contact!)

Sasha: PAYBACK!
