I want to thank everyone who responded to my little side note. Everyone said I should keep going, so here I am. I'm sorry this kind of sucks, but I'm RE-transitioning back into the story.

VIOLET'S Point of View:

There is no turning back. This is it!

"Violet! STOP!," A voice was approaching.

NOT TODAY! I pumped my legs faster, I can't believe I ever thought that I could be a pet! An object, just a simple trophy! NO! I am not!

"VIOLET!," it was getting closer. NO! "VIOLET!" They were so close that I could hear their paws hitting the ground just behind me.

"STOP! LEAVE ME ALONE!," I tried to run harder but I was already at full speed. My plea did nothing, the pokemon then grabbed my hind legs causing me to fall face first into the dirt. I didn't hesitate from the pain, I wrestled my legs free and stood to run, when I was tackled. "GET OFF! LET ME GO!"

"Violet! Stop! PLEASE!," The thick voice was panting.

"NO! NO! LET ME GO!," I squirmed under the heavy pokemon, fighting for a chance at freedom.

"Violet, please. I know you want to leave, but you can't!"

I glanced back to see that it was Cubone, Cubone was sitting on me, weighing me down.

"NO! LET ME GO, CUBONE!," my adrenaline was wearing and I as getting the sinking feeling that I was stuck.

"VIOLET! PLEASE!"

I broke down in tears, sobbing into the dirt, NO! NO! I WAS FREE! WHY?! WHY!?... Why is he doing this?

"Why are you doing this to me?!," I shouted angrily.

"I'm helping you! Violet, there is nothing left out here for you! Chance isn't coming! No one is! I don't want you getting hurt!"

"Don't say that!," I was losing hope about my escape and about being rescued.

"It's the truth! Violet, we are your family! We would never abandon you like they did!"

"They didn't abandon me!," the tears were unstoppable.

"Then where are they," he answered calmly. "Violet," he got off of me and leaned down beside me. "They don't want you anymore. You don't have them... but you are not alone. You have me... I would never abandon you."

"They... they didn't abandon me," I was shaking. I can run, ready... wait for it...

"Violet," he stoked my fur," I'm so sorry."

NOW! I jumped quickly and reared my hid legs like a horse, Cubone wasn't ready for my outburst, he fell to his side on the ground trying to protect himself. I glanced down at him before taking off down the trail again," I'm sorry Cubone!" I really was, I didn't want to hurt him or his feelings, but I can't stay. This time I wasn't going to get cocky; I'm not free until I see Chance.

"VIOLET!" I heard him call and looked behind my shoulder, he was running after me again. Wow, he is really dedicated... but so am I! I faced the dirt path and pumped my legs even harder, not this time! "I'M SORRY, VIOLET!," Cubone called to me.

Sorry? What's he sorry fo-, my thoughts were interrupted by a stabbing sensation across my back. My vision flashed with red, and my breath caught as I fell for a second time into the dry dirt at my feet. The pain subsided quickly, but I was in shock, What was that!? I tried standing but I felt pressure on top of me, holding me down.

"I'm sorry Violet," it was Cubone.

"What did you do?"

"Bonemerang," he stated.

"Oh...," was all I could say.

"Violet, can't you see we are helping you?" I didn't say anything, speaking was futile. "Violet, we all care about you, Edwin cares for you, Leafeon cares for you... I care for you too. Chance, he doesn't care. He probably doesn't even remember your name anymore. To him, you are nothing; but to me, you are everything."

"Chance... he wouldn't..."

"Shhh, Violet, it'll only get worse. You have to let him go, like he let you go. I can't let you go and get hurt!"

I buried my face into the dirt, Where is he? Why isn't he here? What happened? Chance would never abandon me!

"Violet? Please..."

I didn't move, Maybe this is it. Maybe my life was never supposed to be an adventure, maybe I was meant to be a pet. Who knows... but Chance felt so real. How could that have not been real love? What else could it have been... it was love, but maybe it's not anymore.

I started crying loudly, unable to hold back my frustrations, Cubone picked me head up and placed it on his chest and began rocking me. It only made things worse, I gripped his shoulders and continued sobbing, staining his chest with my tears.

"Cubone! Cubone!," I felt the ground rumble, sending vibrations throughout my body as footsteps approached us. "Cubone, hold her there!" I clenched my jaw and squeezed my eyes shut hearing Edwin's all too familiar voice.

"Maybe you're right, Cubone," I blubbered to him quietly, knowing that these would be my last words.

I knew there was no escaping, I was going back into the ball. Confirming my theory, I felt myself being sucked into the emptiness, all the previous sounds of nature: the feeling of the wind, the smell of Cubone's fur, the taste of my tears. I opened my eyes, but it was the same view as it had been with them shut: nothing.

Home sweet home.

THERESA's Point of View:

I can't believe we haven't found her yet. Where is she? Are we going the wrong way!?

"Shelia, stop worrying," Singe looked concerned.

"How did you know?"

"You're always talking, always. But today you've been so quiet, lost I your own thoughts."

I small smile tugged on my lips," You know me so well."

"Never forget that."

Things had changed since our long nights rest; not just between Singe and I, but the whole pack. Chance decided we were rushing too much and may have missed something, so as of now he was smelling the path, searching for a sign of Violet. Jack was in front, keeping a lookout for an signs of an attack or predator. Singe and I hung back, we didn't really have a job, we were kind of just along for the ride which made me feel even worse.

"Sheila, please stop. Talk to me."

"There's nothing to say. I hate feeling useless."

"You are anything but useless."

"Then how come I feel like I don't have a purpose..."

"Don't worry. You'll find it," he smiled reassuringly.

"I don't know..."

Singe kissed the top of my head," It'll come to you."

We all walked farther in silence, Chance was desperate for any sign of Violet. He scared us all when he randomly screamed.

"IT'S HER! IT'S HER!," Chance squealed with delight as he sniffed the trunk of the tall tree.

"Are you sure!?," I asked impatiently.

"Of course! IT'S HER!"

"So she's been here!," Singe deducted.

"SHE WAS HERE VERY RECENTLY! MAYBE A DAY OR TWO!," Chance jumped and continued sniffing the area for more clues of Violet.

"What else is there!?"

"A lot of other pokémon...," he answered concentrating on the smells. " I know for sure there is a Clefairy and...," he inhaled the small patch of grass deeply, considering his options,"... a... an Eevee, possibly evolved, possibly not."

"That's incredible, mate," Singe congratulated.

"Which way did they go?," Jack was curious.

Chance stuck his nose into the dirt, sniffing and walking, following the scent. "Mhhh... I think this way, the smell fades... but it's still lingering."

"So we've been going the right way!," I was giddy.

"Yes! Yes! She's definitely this way!," Chance jumped up and Jakc whined with delight. Singe and I did a little dance to show our pure bliss of knowing she is okay and alive.

"So, how do you want to do this?," Jack asked.

"Huh?"

"Do you want to start running and hopefully catch up? Or keep trailing behind?"

"I think you know the answer to that!," Chance winked.

"Let's go!," Jack turned and began skipping down the trail, Chance behind him. I didn't even wait for Singe, I starting running WERE COMING VIOLET!

So here it is! The Chapter you've been waiting for: Let me know how you feel about it! THANK YOU! ALL OF YOU!
