Nicole

So we were on our way to Lake Acuity to find the legendary Pokemon, Uxie. It turned out that Lugia had gone to get Gyarados! Yes, it was the same one that met us on Mt. Valiant. I was shocked by how Gyarados was friends with a legendary! Anywho, by the time we had taken off, it was sunset. It got dark very fast though, so we all decided to sleep for a while. It had been a very long day for all of us. However, I couldn't fall asleep. I tossed and turned, surprised by how I could stay on the Flying type since I was round. I gave up on sleep, for it was nearly impossible. I had too much on my mind as it was. We had turned into Pokemon, been fighting other Pokemon with the help of our special moves, and we have been searching for the legendary that caused this dilemma to begin with. Oh, Poochyena. I hope you are okay. Wherever you are, don't worry, because I will do all I can to find you. I can't stop worrying about you. You're my partner, my buddy, my best friend. We've been through so much together, and I can't lose you now. Thinking about my lost pal, I began to tear up. I was so worried. Gyarados noticed how I was crying and decided to comfort me. "What's wrong little Togepi? Why are you sad?"

I wiped away my tears before I answered his question. "I'm worried about Poochyena."

"Oh, and who might this be?" he asked. I had forgotten that besides Sara and Molli, no one knew about Poochyena. I explained to Gyarados that Poochyena was my number one partner and how I've had him since I received him as an egg before I started my journey. "Oh my. You two have been through a lot, haven't you?"

I nodded. "Do you think he is okay?"

"Well, he sounds like a strong Pokemon. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. He may be looking for you the same way as you are looking for him. I'm sure of it." This made me feel better. He HAS gotten into many situations in the past, but always got out of them, no matter how strong the opponent was. "Maybe I can help you look for him, if you like." offered Gyarados. My face light up at that point and I looked at him in hope. Was he really going to help me? I couldn't believe it! I hardly knew this creature and he was offering his aid.

"Really? You really want to help me?" I asked in excitement.

"Of course. I just need to know anything that differs him from the rest of Poochyenas."

"Oh! Okay! Well he is the same color, but you know how Poochyena just makes a barking kind of sound? Well, mine actually says his name because I taught him to do that when I was little. And he wears a little blue bandana around his neck. Is that enough?"

"Blue bandana and says his name. Yes, I think that will do. Thanks and I will inform you when I see him." I thanked the big blue monster and I fell asleep since my mind was cleared up some.

Molli

I woke up hearing someone saying, "Thank you so much Gyarados!" I looked around to see who it was, but everyone else was asleep. I poked Gyarados on the back and he turned around to find me awake, but drowsy. "Molli! Goodness, you look very sleepy. Had a bad dream?" he asked me.

"No, I thought I heard someone thanking you."

"Oh yes. You must've heard Nicole. We were talking a little and she just went to sleep."

"What was she thanking you for?" I asked. I felt a little nosy, but I just wanted to know.

"Well, she was having trouble sleeping because she was worried about her partner. So I told her I would help her looked for him and let her know what I find."

"That's really nice of you! She loves Poochyena very much. He is like her treasure!" This was true. She thought of Poochyena as her top dog. They were together from the start and he was used in most of her battles. Come to think of it, what DID happen to Poochyena? He was with us before this happened. Did someone take him? I wonder if it was the same person that turned us into Pokemon. I hope he is okay. Suddenly, we heard an explosion off in the distance. "What was that?" I asked.

"I have no idea. Probably Pokemon battling it out. That happens a lot nowadays due to the sudden transformation of the humans. I feel bad for them."

"Wait. Aren't you a human?"

"Me? No, I really am a Gyarados. I can talk to you because you are now a Pokemon." So Pokemon stayed the same. It was only humans. But why? I thought everyone changed. "I take it you and your friends are humans."

"Yes. Do you have any idea why this happened? Or who did this?" I asked.

"Unfortunately I don't. I wish I could help though. I can't believe someone would do this." Why on earth-" He didn't get to finish his thought because something was flying our way. It was a Hyper Beam attack. Gyarados shouted for me to wake everyone up as he dodged the attack. "Phew. That was close. I guess that battle is really intense down there." Then a Shadow Ball attack flew at us, but this time we couldn't dodge it. It hit Gyarados on the side, and we began to fall out of the sky. We all screamed for our lives. All of the sudden, we stopped in mid-air. I opened my eyes, and everyone was floating! I was too!

"Someone must be using Psychic!" Nicole said.

"That would be me." a strange voice said. Something floated up to us and greeted us. "Hello, I'm Uxie."

Looks like some more was discovered about Nicole's missing companion. But what happened to him? And will they ever find him? Plus, this new clue about only humans changing may have Molli pacing. Stay tuned!
