Okay, update. Take a look at the title for this chapter. Jhoto: Log one. That's how the titles are going to be now. There might be a random title like Moonlight or something for others and those will be for more pairing events in the chapters instead of traveling. These logs are like diary entries and how everything went, you know? Anyways, enjoy the first log~

Chapter eleven
Johto: Log one
White

"So we should get going before the world comes to an end." I said in a humorous way, trying to lighten up the situation. Black and Mia's looks were still stern so I guess my little jokes didn't have any affects.

Black sat up and started to think. "Well why don't we set out with team one and six?" Black asked. Mia nodded and added to his comment.

"That would take out us three, Lyra, Ethan, and Red. Team one and six are both heading to Jhoto anyways."

They did have rational points. I thought about it for a moment. I was going to approve it in the first place but I needed a good game plan.

I pulled out my Xtransceiver and called up Ethan, Lyra, and Red. They all answered not two rings after.

"Hey White, what's up?" Lyra asked, looking normal. Ethan had the same kind of easygoing facial expression as he usually had. Red... He seemed to be caught up in something... It must have been nothing, maybe.

"I need you guys to come here. We're leaving in an hour." I said. Red nodded and quickly signed off. He must have been doing something, I guess... Either way, Red wasn't the talker type anyways.

"Sure, are we leaving for the artifacts already?" Ethan asked. I nodded and gave the Xtransceiver to Mia.

"If we don't speed up the plan, we're going to destroy the planet." she said. Ethan and Lyra, who were still on the line, looked a bit surprised.

"Well that's great news..." Lyra said with maybe a little bit too much sarcasm... Or was that possible? No, I don't think so. "I'll be there in a couple minutes, I'm just up the hill." Lyra said. Ethan followed.

"Yeah, I'm pretty close too so I'll be there in a bit." he said, hanging up. Soon, Lyra and I did the same.

I thought about what we were going to do. Mia, Black, and I would have to go into Dusk Forest first because it was closer then the place where the artifact in Jhoto was. It would probably be hard going into such a dangerous forest with a thirteen year old... Well she was sixteen here but the aura around her was still young and pure. I should have thought this out a little more...

Then again, I heard there was a lot of Unknown scriptures in that forest and the only one that could read them were Mia so maybe it was a good thing... If the Unknown signs affected anything. Either way, seeing as it would be hard to see in that forest, it would be hard to read.

Lost in thought, I began to look into the actual layout of the forest. I had been there before but could only remember it faintly. Besides, that was over one hundred years ago and it would be different, right? Either way, what I remembered was the whole forest was in a circle formation with a few paths through the middle. There must have been some way to get into the middle to get the artifact.

"White, it's been an hour!" Lyra yelled into my ears as I wasn't expecting it. I jumped, missing a heartbeat. I swung my head backwards, Lyra only smiling.

"What was that for?" I yelled sternly. Lyra laughed and Ethan came behind her.

"Well you're always getting mad if we don't leave on schedule so we want to go right now." he joked. I had to admit, I was the kind of person that liked to stay on track.

"So is everyone ready?" I said, pulling my back on my strap as I stood up. "And what about Black, is he okay?" I also asked. Both of them nodded.

"Mia just finished wrapping Black's injuries and Red just came back so we're all ready. Everyone else knows we're going to, Ethan called them." Lyra stated, stashing a bit more potions in my bag.

"Where's N then?" another question slipped my mouth. I almost forgot about him, actually. I then felt hands covering my mouth and eyes.

"Were you calling for me, princess?" obviously N asking behind me. I blushed, pushing N away.

"Get away from me and let's go." I yelled. Ethan laughed at my acts.

"Okay, I'll get Black and Mia." Red said. Woah, when did he get there? Oh well, he was always popping in and out.

It was late, approximately eleven? Maybe... It was late either way. I couldn't check my Xtransceiver because I was carrying Mia. She was still light like a little kid... And small so it was convenient.

We took a break at ten and she fell asleep, I wouldn't dare let Black carry her. Red and Ethan were too busy carrying the supplies and Lyra was barely awake anyways. N was just... Whatever, I couldn't trust him with Mia. It didn't matter anyways, Mia wasn't a bother. She had three of her pokemon out of their pokeballs searching the skies already for us because we didn't have any bird pokemon.

Speaking of, I heart a cry of a pokemon. I looked in the sky as a Swellow flew down. Black smiled and let it land on his arm.

"Hey Swellow... Did you see Jhoto?" he asked. The Swellow just kept chirping, loud enough for Mia to wake up. I felt her rubbing her eyes.

"Sorry to wake you, Mia." I said. Mia shook her head.

"No, I'm sorry you had to carry me." she said, jumping off of my back and petting Swellow's head. N drew closer to her and the pokemon. It took a minute of more chirping. Then, the Swellow dropped something in Mia's hand. She examined the object and her face lit up.

"Look at this, White!" she almost yelled in excitement and showed me. I looked in her open palms. I must say, I was a bit confused with the object in her hands.

"A rock...?" I asked in a confused manner. N stepped closer again and looked at the small rock.

"Not just any rock, Princess." N said in a smart tone.

"What do you mean? And stop calling me Princess, fatty." I said, punching his stomach. Actually, he wasn't fat at all... Well I said it anyways.

"This rock, Princess," he said again before continuing. Stupid, trying to make me more mad. "Is a specimen that can only be found in Johto. Notice the rippled lines around the outsides, as well as the lighter center. If you crack this rock open..." N said, pulling out a small hammer. He gently hit the rock with the tool and it cracked open, showing small crystals inside. "You see this." he finished. Red looked over.

"That's a geode, White." he said. "As N said, they can only be found in Johto, but only in Dusk forest."

"Well that's good. We should hurry then. It will be close then right?" I asked. N nodded. "Well come on." I started pushing everyone to go faster.

This journey was to be exciting, as well as dangerous. Go too fast and things fall apart, go too slow and things start to tear away. We needed to go at a moderate pace.

It became four in the morning and it we still hadn't made it yet. We set up a camp site to rest again until the sun rose again, maybe we'd leave in another four hours. We all needed a bit of sleep.

Lyra was restless though. She just wouldn't sleep, no matter what we said. Not even Ethan could make her sleepy and he could do almost anything when it came to her. They were childhood friends after all. I decided to talk with her though once everyone fell asleep.

N had fallen asleep toppled over a big rock, Mia was resting her back on an old tree, Black's head was in Mia's lap again, Red was surprisingly standing against another tree and sleeping, and Ethan was curled up beside the fire. Lyra and I then sat on a log in front of the fire as well.

"What's up, Lyra?" I asked, concerned. Lyra gave me a heart warming smile.

"It's nothing special." she said.

"Well you can cell me, I'd like to know." I stated. She then looked a bit worried, herself. I urged her to continue.

"At home, I was actually with someone when I disappeared..." Lyra mumbled. With someone? Then she was the only one. Everyone came to this time randomly, without anyone near them. "His name was Silver and... We were in Johto."

So was that why she was a bit hesitant now? Because of the place? Or the boy?

"So you like this guy? Silver, was it?" I gave her a sheepish look. Lyra blushed. I was actually kidding around, I thought she liked Ethan.

"I guess..." she said. "But the look he gave me when I was being pulled away, so worried. For the first time, I saw him in that state." tears formed in her eyes. I put my arm around her shoulder and gave her a big hug.

"It'll be alright, Lyra. I'm sure when we get home, it won't affect you guys. Just stay strong and he will." I reassured her. Lyra wiped away the tears and went to say something but a noise in the bushes cut her off. She leaned in closer to me, scared. I couldn't blame her. My heart was racing.

Suddenly, someone popped out of the bushes, Lyra almost screaming.

You made Lyra almost scream, mystery guy/girl! D: We shall see who it is next chapter. XDDD I'd give you a hint but then it would be too easy(Coughit'sBrendancough). No, it's not Brendan and no, it's not that evil guy that attacked Mia. XDDD

Also, I'm going to bring in a new OC to this fanfiction, his name is Ian. It's funny how I have so many OCs that are male but I'm felame(Insider, Female* I know). I have a lot that are female too though...
Thanks for reading~
