Well, thing changed since chapter 8. I decided because I has problems writing Conner's point of view I decided that my sister, JaiDaw, will be writing his point of view. It is pretty easy to see who writes. Well, maybe every now and then, I'll let my sister write other characters. So point made, this story is co-written.

Chapter 10

Crystal's P.O.V.

'Why did she say it? Why did she have to say it? I just wanted to be normal, for a change. Not having to be a Pokémorph, for a change. I finally found a place where people didn't know me as Professor Oak's granddaughter or as a Pokémorph. For once, I was considered normal by people and my friends. Now, all because of Sakura, things will change. Kate, Ben and Lunick won't act the same around me anymore. And Kellyn, don't talk to me about him. The moment I set foot back at the Union, he'll drag me aside and yell at me, for keeping this a secret, while I knew theirs. I'm sure Uxie didn't let him follow me, but I can't hide from him, forever. He's my a partner and we work at the same place. He's probably going to hate me, now.' While I was thinking, I tripped over the roots of a tree. Pixy, my partner Vulpix, had followed me outside.

"Are you okay?" she asked, as she sat beside my head, "Why are you so upset?"

"They know, that's why!" I yelled.

I had no right to yell at her. She didn't do anything. She has no business in what was happening, but I was too upset to realize that. She knew that when I'm upset, I don't realize those things, so she stuck by my side.

"They would have eventually found out." replied Pixy, putting a paw on my arm.

I stayed laying down for a second and then sat up.

"I want to tell them. But since Sakura told them, it makes me look like a traitor. Kellyn will hate me now, for this." I cried unable to hold myself any longer.

I let all my tears fall down without restraint. I saw Conner pass by me, without even seeing me. He had his Partner Akiro holding his leg for dear life. I wish I still had something to hold on. Now that my secret was revealed, nothing will be same, anymore.

"Don't worry. I'm sure they'll accept you. They are your friends, after all." said Pixy, trying to comfort me.

"I'm not worried about Kate, Ben, Lunick or Sakura..." my words trailed off.

"But your worried about Kellyn's reaction." continued Pixy.

"I like him, Pixy. A lot. I could even say I love him, but I'm almost sure that it isn't the same thing for him." I whimpered.

"According to what I saw, I'm sure he feels something for you. He get really worried about you, all the time. The way he reacts, when he's worried, sometime make me worried, about you." explained Pixy.

"I'm friend zone and he made it really clear." I responded.

"Never heard of that. When did he tell you?" asked Pixy.

"He didn't tell me directly. He was talking to Kate and he probably didn't know I was there." I answered.

"So, you were eavesdropping." stated Pixy.

"Yeah, maybe." I simply said.

"You spend too much time around Keith and Sven. You're getting their state of mind sometimes." replied Pixy, "But never mind that. What did Kellyn say?"

"That I was his partner and friend. A close friend, at most. Nothing more." I cried, hiding my face in my knees.

Pixy cuddled up to me and stopped talking. She understood that I didn't want to talk anymore. Only if Pokémorphs were not so rare and hunted, then I would be at peace.

Kellyn's P.O.V.

I can't believe it. My best friend, partner and the girl I, totally, fell in love with, was a Pokémorph. She knew, after she surprised Ben, that we were Pokémorphs, but she didn't think it would be important to tell us? I'm fuming, now. Ever since Kate and my aunt let me go, the only thing I wanted to do, is find Crystal and get her to explain things. I looked over at Kate, who was looking at me, worried. My aunt placed a hand on my shoulder and went over to my dad. Sakura was talking to her father. Ben was talking with his dad and aunt. I was sitting down, just outside the room, with Kate. I'm sure she didn't want to leave me alone, not after what happened. She is probably scared that I'll go and yell at Crystal. I only yell at her because it is my only way to get my message through and I can't really control myself.

"I know what you're thinking." said Kate, after long minutes of silence.

"Really? Mind clearing my own thoughts for me?" I asked, sarcastically.

"Well, you're probably thinking that you want to go see Crystal, yet you know I won't let you, because you will yell at her." answered Kate, not paying attention to the sarcasm in my voice.

I rolled my eyes, but then realized that she was right. I face palmed at my own stupidness. Kate giggled a little, but quickly became serious again.

"Okay, let's make a deal. If I let you go and get Crystal, do you promise not to yell at her, no matter what?" questioned Kate, making me surprised.

"Well..." I paused unsure what to respond.

I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold that promise. I knew I was going to yell at her, no matter what, if someone wasn't there to stop me. But the things I wanted to tell weren't meant to be heard by others.

"Are you going to answer? It's easy. Yes or no." added Kate, waving her hand in my face.

"I can't promise that and you know it." I growled, pushing her hand out of my face.

She sighed and looked at me.

"Alright then, forget it. You'll regret it, though. Because I don't think you'll ever get a chance to talk to her, in private, for a long time." replied Kate, getting up, "But I could help you with something."

I looked at her curiously. She had me interested. If she could help me control myself, from yelling at Crystal, and not be there, then I'm in for it.

"What's your idea?" I asked, standing beside her.

"How about I lend you Pachi? She could shock you, if things get out of control." answered Kate, pointing her Partner Pokémon, sitting the chair beside her.

The Pachirisu jumped on my shoulder and made sparks appear on its cheeks.

"What do you think?" said Kate, putting her hands on her hips and staring at me.

"I don't really have choice, do I?" I replied, letting Vul jump on my other shoulder.

"Nope. So go now, before she decides to go to Vien Town." said Kate, smiling.

She had something behind her head and I knew it. But I let it slide, for this time and I do have a good blackmail, just I case.

"Don't even think about it. You know I'll know if anyone is around." I growled, before leaving.

On the way I bumped into Sven and Wendy, who saw Crystal run out the building, in a rush. I sighed and thanked them. I continued walking, until I got to the stairs, in front of the Union. I felt observed. I knew Kate was watching from a window, probably to see if I still had her partner. I let out a long sigh and continued my way. I had no idea where Crystal was. For a Kanto native, she knew Almia better than anyone. She could be anywhere. I could transform and search for her, faster, but I don't want to attract attention. I kept walking blindly, following Vul, who was sniffing the ground. He was probably not searching for Crystal, but for Pixy. I knew Pixy probably went with Crystal. She's always around when she's upset. After a while of walking and getting lost, I heard some soft sobbing. I looked around for the source of the sound. I was about to look around tree when I heard my name. I paused and cautiously looked behind the tree. I saw Crystal sitting in front of a tree, with Pixy, talking about something, and that something being me.

I wasn't close enough to hear Pixy. And yes I can talk to Pokémon, like any Pokémorphs. But I could hear clearly what Crystal was saying. I'm going to have to tell her to keep her voice down, if she doesn't want anyone to hear her. And then again, no one excepted me was around to spy on her. Yes, I was spying on her. There is no other words to describe what I'm doing right now. That aside, no one crazy enough would be out here at twilight. Wait, the sun was going down and Crystal wasn't even realizing it. Hell is she stupid! I was going to let her know how stupid she was, but I saw Pachi's cheeks starting to spark. I was going to do it anyways, but what Crystal said stopped me.

"Pixy, I'm so stupid. Kate did warn me. Now I understand what she meant of Kellyn being an insensible jerk and antisocial. I should have listen to her. Now I'm regretting it." she said, crying.

Pixy patted her leg and replied something. And again she was out of my hearing range.

"I know I should be going back. But I'm not going back. I know Kellyn will be waiting for me to come back. Kate will never let him come and get me. She knows him as well as I do. He's going to yell at me, first, for being so late and second, about my secret. He'll never let it go, no matter what." whimpered Crystal, rubbing her eyes, "And to add to all that, the others will want answers. I don't have any explanation for Kellyn or anyone else, other than that I wanted to be normal."

Pixy jumped on her laps and talked to her again. I stayed there, not moving, listening to her. I knew Kate would hate me, for this, but it was my only chance to figure some things out.

"I know I'm normal, with the others. But being the daughter of Olivia Oak and the granddaughter of Professor Oak, I can't be normal, in the first place." cried Crystal, obviously upset.

I agree. She wasn't normal to start with. Her mom being one of the best Top Rangers and her grandfather being a famous professor, life mustn't have been easy, for her. Even in Ranger School, people treated her differently. Questions were asked every second, getting stared at, if not getting the right answer, which were rare, people asking favors and no one really wanting to hang out with her, other than being with someone's famous relative. Well, things changed. Kate included her in our group. I started to hang out with her, only because Kate bugged me for it, at first. Then, I came to like her company. She always found it funny that people left her alone, when she was with me. She appreciated being alone, sometimes, but she always came to me, mostly after that incident.

(Explained in a special chapter)

"Why don't you change partner? Didn't Professor Hastings and Chairperson Erma say that if you fought with your partner or that you didn't get along, you were allowed to change?" yelled Pixy, snapping me out of my dream.

What?! Change partner! No way in hell was she going to change. I was mad at her, but still, why did I feel some guilt? I know it was partly my fault, scratch that, it was my fault and only my fault, she was going to change partner, and I didn't blame her for thinking of it. Sometimes I ask myself how she is able to hang around me.

"I'm not doing that. Who would I partner up with, anyways? No one will want to trade." said Crystal, "I'm not even sure if either Keith or Kate would be able to survive him."

"Totally true, but you can't leave him push you around like that, anymore. I made you a promise not to tell anyone, but if it continues like that, I swear he'll regret it."

And how does she think she's going to do that? Did that dumb Vulpix forget she's talking about the son of a legendary Pokémon, and the son of Zekrom, to add to that.

"She won't do it." replied simply Crystal, startling Kellyn.

"Oh hell ya, she will. She told you herself. She'll use one Ice Beam and send him to the world of dreams." responded Pixy, laughing, "I would just like to see his face when she does it. It's going to be funny."

I heard giggle softly, but when I looked at her, she wasn't smiling, at all.

"Yeah, it would be. Only if Kellyn wasn't part Dragon type, I wouldn't be scared, but he is so, another plan should be used, if you want to hurt him. Just make sure you don't kill him, will ya?" explained Crystal.

At least she has some concern for my safety. An Ice Beam, that's one of my worst nightmares. Ice, Dragon and Ground type attacks are a nightmare for me. One hit and I can end up in the hospital.

Crystal wiped her eyes and stood up. She was going to make her way back to the Union.

"We should get going, before it gets too dark." said Crystal.

"You are not going back to the Union. I'm not letting you do that. I don't want to spend the night hearing Kellyn scream at you. I need my beauty sleep." exclaimed Pixy, "Why not spend the night at the Vien Town Ranger Base. They did say you were welcome to stay over any day. Anyways, we are closer to there than the Union."

Pixy was right. I hadn't realized it. We were really close to Vien Town. I shook my head and headed back towards the Union, while Crystal made her towards Vien Town.

"Weren't you going to talk to her? Wasn't that the reason why you brought me?" asked Pachi.

"Yeah, but I think it can wait until tomorrow. I don't want to upset her more than she already is." I replied, not looking at either Pokémon.

"That's new. Usually, you wouldn't even had waited there, like an idiot and listen. Now, you just walk away, as if nothing happened." said Vul, surprised.

"Who are you and what have you done with the real Kellyn Hajime?" added Pachi, "Cant wait to tell Kate about his weird behaviour."

I was about to reply when someone screamed, "HELP!"

I turned around and looked at the forest, in horror. Someone was after Crystal. No way was I going to let this pass. I felt a tingling in my body and I transformed. 'I'm coming Crystal. Don't worry.'I thought, as I quickly flew towards the source of the voice.
