Hello-

Amy: -From the other side!

Me: You had that joke already!

Amy: Aww man...Wish we could turn back time...To the good ole days.

Me: You and me both, but till then, we move and and hope that tomorrow will be better.

Azazel: I like that.

Amy: Whatever.

Me: Nothing else to say guys, so...

ONWARDS!

When she'd gotten back to the center, she found herself simply seated onto one of the many couches in the lobby, deep in thought. She tried to process the earlier evening. Heck, she was trying to make sense of the whole day, to be honest.

She sighed, why did such a nice guy need to leave? She had to issue with travelling with Dante and Elissa but…she rubbed the back of her head, grinning sheepishly, "Nothing good ever stays around for too long." She murmured, before looking up at the door.

Suddenly, a girl ran down from the hall holding the rental rooms, one with bright blue eyes and blonde hair, "About time you showed up!"

Azazel couldn't help but jump back, stunned, while Elissa pulled her down the hall, smiling, "We came back and got us a room right after big brother beat up the gym leader!" She giggled, "She was really pretty!"

Elissa stopped at a door, throwing it open, before pushing Azazel inside. Azazel looked about the room, a bit of her happy that it looked the same as the one in Eterna city, before setting her stuff onto the other bed.

Azazel leaned back on the bed, breathing in deeply, only to wince, jumping as one of the pokeballs on her belt popped open.

Zoroark growled, looming over Azazel, "Kept us cooped up in there for long enough now, don't ya think?"

Azazel jumped, as she fumbled for her pokeballs, "Oh my Arceus, I'm so sorry!" She murmured, before sending the other three out. She sighed, "I'm so sorry I made you wait, you guys!" They didn't seem to notice much, nor care, as Budew jumped up into her arms, not a single care in the world as she nuzzled Azazel's hand.

Azazel couldn't help but smile, "Oh, who's such a cutie pie? Yes you are, yes you are!" Azazel giggled, tossing Ivy up and down. The tiny grass type squealed, laughing and cheering.

Just then, steam drifted from the bathroom as the door was opened. Azazel couldn't help but stare as Dante walked out, "Hey, Elissa; hurry up and-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Dante shouted, pulling at his towel. All he had was that white fluff on, over his waist and lower,.

To be honest, Dante's torso was nothing to laugh at. He had a pretty strong yet lean build under that shirt and jacket.

"STOP STARING PERV AND TELL ME WHY YOU'RE IN HERE!" Dante yelled, jumping behind one of the beds, eyes shifting over the side of the bed, while his hand searched for some loose clothing, "WELL!?"

"Elissa let me in!" Azazel murmured, trying to play it off coolly, while Elissa laughed in the background, Zoroark and Empoleon laughing right behind him. Or no; Empoleon simply had a short smile on his face, his shoulders jolting every now and then, "It's not my fault you're half naked!"

"WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU WALKED IN!"

"Shut up, I was on this bed when you decided to put on your little torso show."

"TORSO SHOW!?"

Elissa sighed, before tossing Dante his shirt, "You gonna keep cowering behind that bed or what?"

"HEY, IF ANYTHING, I SHOULD BE YELLING AT YOU!"

Azazel groaned, leaning back on the bed, "Come on now, why don't we just go to sleep-."

"No." Dante growled, pulling the shirt over his head, the towel making it look like he was wearing a sort of skirt, as she stood up, "This isn't your room!"

Elissa huffed, "Come on now, big brother! You said that she could travel with us-."

"Travel; fine. But sleeping in the same room?"

"That's what friends do!"

Azazel got up, "Look, if you want me to leave, I'll just leave." She murmured.

"But I don't want you to leave!" Elissa pouted, stomping her foot on the ground, "Dante, let her sleep in the room with us, come on! Stop being such a stick up the butt!"

"What did you just call me!?" Dante grumbled, to tired to shout, as he waved them both off, "Fine." Dante murmured, "She can sleep in here. But that's it."

Elissa sighed, "It couldn't hurt to be nice to Azazel, ya know."

"Put a sock in it." Dante murmured, before giving Azazel a look, "Goodnight, little Az."

"Goodnight…Hot head."

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!?"

After a hearty breakfast of pancakes, the three were on the move once again. But, after the events of the earlier day, it was finally agreed that they stayed in town for a bit longer.

"We're wasting time." Dante murmured.

"Better then spending it dead." Azazel murmured back, Elissa giggling between them.

At the moment, the three of them sat around a table, right outside a café. Dante sighed, taking another sip from his cup, as he eyed Azazel, "…We still need to talk about that."

"Hmm?" Azazel murmured, spacing out as she watched Zoroark and Lucario at it once again, "About?"

"Team Galactic."

From where he was sitting, Empoleon shot up a bit, a sort of protective look on his face, before giving the two a look. Instantly, they calm down, Zoroark shooting Lucario a look, before Ivy jumped into the Lucario's arms.

"…Go on." She murmured, trying to play it cool.

"Quit acting."

"Huh?"

"I said quit acting." Dante hissed, his eyes narrowing, "You're hiding something."

"Like what!?"

Dante growled lightly, "I don't like liars."

"Look, I don't know why they're after me, I really don't." Azazel insisted, rubbing the back of her neck, "I mean, I'm nothing special."

"But that's not true!" Elissa insisted, "She can speak to Pokémon!"

At those words, Dante covered her mouth, before looking around. Once he was sure that no one was watching, he dropped his hand, "She can't."

"Yes she can!"

"You're sounding crazy." Dante murmured, before giving Azazel a look, "…So you don't know why they're after you?"

Azazel shook her head, causing Dante to sigh, leaning back, "…Maybe they're after us…I mean…After what I did…" He murmured, only to sigh again.

Elissa shook her head, "No. They wanted someone with some sort of power…Like talking to Pokémon-."

"Enough of that." Dante growled, only to shake his head, "But you're right. Still, what we managed to do…"

"What are you talking about?" Azazel inquired, an eyebrow raised, "What did you two do?"

"None of your damn business." Dante growled.

"So…Lemme get this straight…You're allowed to get mad at me for not saying everything, but not vice versa?" Azazel growled lightly, annoyed, "The hell?"

Dante looked like he was about to bite back, only to have his head whip up, a grimace on his face, "Get up."

"…Huh?"

"I said get up!" Dante growled, pulling Azazel up.

"Hey, let my arm go, damnit!" Azazel growled, getting up.

Elissa did the same, wearing a concerned and confused look, "What is it big-?"

"He's here."

Just like that, Elissa's expression fell, a more serious one taking her face. Just a glimpse at her made Azazel shudder; if she was getting serious, something was about to go down, "…Azazel, call your Pokémon back; we've gotta run."

Azazel nodded, giving her Pokémon a look, as she called them back, "Lucario…Empoleon…Budew…Oh no…"

"Oh no? What do you mean, OH NO!?" Dante whisper shouted, only to shake his head, "It'll have to wait, we need to leave!"

Azazel had no time to understand, as Dante ran out of the café, Elissa not to far behind him. He pushed past crowds of people, pushing them out of the way, along with whatever could be used at the time.

Suddenly, Dante came to a stop, "Stay." He whispered lowly, before pushing Azazel into a dark alleyway. Elissa followed right after her, looking around, while Dante pushed them farther in, "Elissa, you got them?"

"Always." She nodded, before pulling off her bag. She opened the zipper, causing Pichu to pop out, his head tilted to the side, "Can you be a dear and get our stuff?" Elissa asked.

Pichu pushed something up to the top of the bag, two hilts…

…Two daggers.

Azazel nearly screamed, as Elissa pulled one out, tossing it to Dante, "Got your gun?"

"G-gun!?"

"Yeah. Always."

"A-always?"

Dante pulled his gun from the back of his belt, the part that was always hidden by his shirt and jacket, "…Hear that?"

"Hear what?"

Too late.

IN front of the alleyway, a person stood, arms crossed over his chest, a pout on his face. His jade green eyes narrowed, his hair spikey and short, the black looking like a sort of raven color. His white skin stood out from his dark red shirt and black long pants, a belt going over his chest in an "X" formation, holding six pokeballs, three each. His shoes looked like he'd used them of his trip out of hell.

The boy smirked, "Dante."

Dante growled lightly, "Charlie."

Charlie laughed, before giving Elissa a look, "A pleasure, little girl." H smirked.

"Can it." Elissa growled, yet her knees were still quivering. She held the knife like a kunai, "I…I won't hesitate to hurt you if you come any closer!"

Charlie's grin widened, "Oh? You make it sound like I'm the bad guy." He murmured, before his eyes landed on Azazel, "And I see you've got the girl Galactic wants. Now, is it really smart to wear two targets on your back?"

Azazel grimaced, "W-what does team Galactic want with me!?"

Charlie gave her a look, only to shake his head, "You really don't know? Wow, how dense. I'm not even in the full loop and I know; such a shame. Someone like you…We could use you."

Dante cocked his gun back, aiming, "Shut up and fight, you honor less person!"

"Honor less? Honor less!? You have some balls, calling me HONOR LESS!" Charlie shouted, "Besides, we don't want the officials on you now, do we?"

"Like you've got any place to talk!" Charlie shot back, head down, "What you did to me…hat you did to my grandfather…All because what? You couldn't live where you once where?"

"Shut up." Dante growled lightly, "I swear, I don't care about officer Jenny; I'll shoot you."

Charlie whipped his head back, laughing as loudly as he could, "I know you, Dante. That gun…It's on for show. Why couldn't you go back to the boy you once were?"

"Why did you join team Galactic!?"

"…I have my reasons."

"Exactly."

Elissa and Azazel simply watched from the sidelines, both stuck in the tense air. The two of them, even while shouting at each other, they looked like they were both ready to kill. Charlie had pulled out a pokeball, and by the way he held it, it must have been a real strong Pokémon. Dante fumbled with his gun, a look on his face.

He was scared.

"…Now Charlie…Don't do anything stupid…Like last time. "

"Oh, like you've got anything to say." Charlie snapped back, before tossing up his pokeball.

Elissa grabbed her wrists, dragging Azazel behind him, "Come on, we've got to go; now!" Elissa insisted, pulling her back.

"What are you talking about?" Azazel asked.

"Torterra, DESTROY THE THEIFS!"

Azazel didn't need to turn around to know what had happened, nor did she have to scream to show her fear, as she dashed with Elissa.

"What about your brother?" Azazel screamed over the fighting behind her.

Elissa shook her head, "He'll be fine, we've got to get to a safe place!"

"Why? It's just like a huge Pokémon battle!"

"I'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, THIEF!"

'"LIKE YOU'RE ANY BETTER, YOU GALACTIC SCUM!"

"WHEN I GET THE CHANCE, I'LL HANG YOUR BODY FROM A TREE, FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE YOUR WORHTLESSNESS!"

"I'LL PUT SO MANY BULLETS INTO YOUR BODY, YOU'LL RESEMBLE A DART BOARD MORE THEN A HUMAN!"

"Oh…"

Elissa nodded, before breathing out, "Yeah…They always get like this."

Dante growled, before taking out his own pokeball, "Monferno, help me take care of this GALACTIC SCUM!"

Monferno growled lightly at the Torterra, only to have it shrug Monferno off, growling even more.

Azazel scoffed, "We can't just wait here; we've got to help out!" She shouted, before pulling out a pokeball, "Empoleon, help Dante out!"

Upon entry, he gave Dante a look, before doing the same to Azazel, "…".

Azazel sighed, "Yes, help Dante! Yes, I know he's an ass to us, but he's done so much for us!"

"DID YOU JUST CALL ME AN ASS!?"

Empoleon sighed, "Yeah, sure."

Charlie laughed, talking off his other pokeballs, "Oh? We're playing that way?"

Dante gave Azazel a look, "Come on, Az! I need you to get Elissa; take her far from here!"

Azazel growled, "Stop trying to act like a macho man and accept the fact that you need my help!" She then threw her hand to the side, "Empoleon, Metal claw!"

The tips of Empoleon's wings glow a bright white, before he jumps forth, wings out and ready to attack. He struck the Torterra's shell, only to jump back from the force of the hit. The Torterra smirked, trying to egg the calm penguin on.

Dante growled, "You idiot, attack somewhere else! That's the turtle's shell, you idiot!" He then growled to himself again, before turning to Elissa, "Go, run! Go to Solaceon, and don't look back! Keep running till you find Jackie's house; we'll meet you there!"

Elissa shook her head, only to back up, "…K-kay!" She whimpered, before dashing off.

Dante gave Azazel a look, "Since you won't go with her, I had to send her away on her own! I swear, if she gets hurt-."

"You won't be around to care!" Charlie shouted, before throwing up more pokeballs, "Crobat, Garchomp, Floatzel, Flareon; MAKE SURE THESE DIRTY SCUM BAGS DON'T TRY TO LEAVE ALIVE!"

His Pokémon grinned in an evil way, causing Dante and Azazel to flinch back. "Damn." Dante murmured, wanting to pull his own pokeballs, only to shake his head, "Monferno is the only Pokémon that's battle ready."

Azazel grimaced, tugging lightly at Lucario's pokeball, "…Lucario, I need you too fight!"

Lucario was dumped onto the ground, sitting, s he looked around, "…Azazel, what's-Oh m-my…D-do I h-h-have t-too…F-fight?"

Azazel sighed, rubbing her head, "…Buddy, I know you don't like to fight, but we need help."

Lucario didn't move from his position, scared and cowering on the floor. Empoleon tried to get him to get up, only to jump back, as the Garchomp lurched forward with what looked to be a dragon claw, causing Empoleon to jump back from the attack.

Lucario yelped, rolling out of the way. He gulped, summoning a small bone rush between his paws, "S-stay back!" He yelled, trying to defend himself with the bone, only to drop it in his fear.

Charlie laughed, "Oh, come on! For someone with your power, you rally don't know how to really use it, do ya?" He then grinned, "Flareon, dispose of them!"

The Flareon's eyes cackled like the fire's on his back, as he prepared a fire blast.

Aimed for Lucario.

"Lucario, move!" Azazel shouted, only to watch as he sat there, petrified, "Empoleon, help him!"

"…Busy…" Empoleon murmured, jumping back as his battle with the Garchomp, Torterra and Floatzel went down hill.

Azazel whimpered, shaking her head, before dashing forward, standing over Lucario, "Lucario, move!"

All he could do was watch in terror, as Azazel stood over him, "I won't let you hurt him!"

The look in the Flareon's eye was dark, as he charged the attack…

…Only to turn around, firing it at Charlie.

Charlie jumped back, out of the way of the attack, before giving the Flareon a look, "W-what the heck, Chara!?"

The Flareon smirked in a dastardly way, "My name isn't Chara, buddy." He smirked, before a dark purple fog came off of him. Zoroark shook his mane, smirking, "Sounds a tad to evil. Zachary's just a troublemaker name."

"But…you…How…" Azazel stuttered, eyes still wide.

Zoroark flashed her a smirk, "Come on now, my pranks know no end. It was simple, really. I was waiting to jump Dante, then you guys all ran for it. Found this guy, and jumped into the Flareon's place."

Charlie looked around, "Flareon!? Come on, Chara; where are you!?"

Zoroark grinned, before pulling Lucario up, "Get up, pint size!" He growled, before looking over to Empoleon, "Come on, bro; time to disappear!"

Empoleon nodded from where he was, jumping back, away from a Garchomp's attack, "Hmm."

He gave Dante a look, only to growl, shaking his head, "Azazel, get ready to grab dickhead and run." Zoroark shouted, before purple covered his arms, Zoroark's eyes glowing like purple wisps of fire. He let out a roar, before smashing the ground with his Night daze.

Charlie growled, stepping back, as a purple fog covered the area, "Keep a watchful eye." He growled, peeking into the fog. Finally, he saw some movement, before pointing, "THERE!"

Multiple attacks were launched into the purple haze, only to have Charlie's eyes widen, "Stopstopstopstopstopstop!" He shouted, leaping into the dust, only to have his head pop back up, a fainted Flareon in his hands.

"Hehehe…I'm sorry about that, Chara."

If you can tell me where the name Chara's from, then...

Point for you.

Azazel: Chara, like fire, or Chara, like CHARActer?

Amy: Depends on what you're outlook is, what are you looking in from.

Me: My God...You sounded...Smart...

...The fuck...

Amy: What? I hang around Mewtwo-

Azazel: You do!?

Amy: Yeah, I'm dating him.

Azazel:...We're talking about the same asshole that's a total grump in the halls of origin, right?

Amy: Umm...No? I mean, he can be a grumpy cat at times, but he's not always like that.

Azazel: Odd...I can't get that guy to even look at my at times...

Amy: Hmm, what would happen if I had swapped places with you.

Azazel: Hmm?

Amy: Well, you see, I...Umm...No, never mind.

Azazel:...? Okay, whatever.

Me: It's kill, or be killed.

Amy: Huh?

Me: That's how you play the game.

Azazel: What game?

Me: It's kill or be killed.

Amy: What the hell ae you talking about!?

Me: Either way, it ends the same.

Azazel: Stop that!

Me: Everyone you love.

Amy: What's that suppose to mean?

Me: Everyone you know.

Azazel: Where are you going with this?

Me: Everyone will die.

Amy: Who's dying!?

Me: And they'll die because of you!

Amy:...

Azazel:...?

Me: If you know what that part of the song is from, then more points for you. Sorry, I'm really into this fandom at the moment.

Amy:...? wait, ooooh. It's a bautiful day outside.

Azazel: Is it?

Me: Birds are singing.

Azazel: Are they?

Amy: Flowers are blooming.
