Hello and welcome to another chapter of 'Lives Anew'. Now, you all may be wondering, why I haven't done a song in a while. Well, the answer is, I don't know where to put one. I know a few situations, but it's hard to find songs for everything. That and a couple of people have complained about them. So, I shall use them sparingly. Oh, and mysterious person. I do like Mudkips. I don't know why you ask. Now excuse me while you people are reading. I have to go play a children's card game…On motorcycles.

"Right this way, Chief." One of the Weasels said. The Weasels, or Sneasels, they weren't sure if they should change their name, were walking through the forest. The Chief was amongst the head of the group. It hadn't been long before, that one of his compatriots had given information on the wherabouts of civilization. 'Thank goodness.' The Chief thought. 'Indoor plumbing comes to the rescue. You don't know how important it is until you have to live without it.' They had been walking for a while, so his feet were sore. "Where the bloody heck was this city, you spoke of earlier. Shouldn't we have found it by now?"

"We're almost there, Chief." The Weasel said.

The Chief groaned. 'Oh, yeah, like I haven't heard that before.' He thought. Of course, once they got on top of a hill, they looked down upon a large city. Their eyes flew wide open when they saw it. The Chief fell to his knees and started to tear up. "Civilization." He said. "Oh, how I missed you."

"Uhh, sir." One of the Weasels said. "Are you alright?"

The Chief held up a hand. "No, I just need a moment." He said, rubbing his eyes. "It's just so beautiful." He looked back at his henchmen. "Come on, boys. All you can eat dinners and indoor plumbing await us." The Weasels cheered, as they raced towards the building.

(Ozzy and company)

Ozzy glared at the Wooper in Strut's arms, as they kept on walking. 'All that blighter has done is make my life miserable.' He thought. "You know." He said. "We could always just leave the mongrel." Strut looked at him, like he was crazy. "What? He's just dead weight."

"I don't think so." Strut said. "Gir is like part of the family now. Besides, he's so cute. Don't you think he's cute."

"I thought he was cute, when he was still an egg." Ozzy retorted, licking his lips. "If only we'd been able to crack him open."

"Oh, your just denying your feelings." Strut said, smirking. "You like Gir, don't you. Admit it."

Ozzy sent Strut a glance from the corner of his eye. "Not even to save your life." He said, before shutting out his brother. He heard him sigh. 'That's great, now he's even softer than before. I never thought that was possible.' He thought. Soon, when they came to the top of a hill, they saw a vaste amount of those strange caves. "Look Strut. There's got to be an endless amount of food down there." He thought, drool oozing out of his mouth.

Strut shivered. "Yeah, along with more of those two legged creatures." He said. "Remember when one of them sent some creatures to attack us."
"Yes, but I taught it it's place." Ozzy said proudly. He didn't want to say this, but he loved his new body. Yes, he missed his old one, but this one just gave him more confidence. He never really was a fighter, but that little fiasco allowed him to see his true colors. That, and he wouldn't let any person beat his brother. That was his job. "Now, let's get moving."

Just then, Gir stirred awake. "Did Mr. Piggy come for Christmas?" He said, groggily.

"Does he ever talk sense?" Ozzy said, more to himself.

Gir took one look at the caves and smiled. He jumped out of Strut's arms. "Tacos." He shrieked and ran towards them. Sturt ran after him and Ozzy had to run after them both.

(Sally and her Pokemon)

The group were still moving through the forest, much to their irritation. Although, that wasn't the thing that really irritated them. "Are we there yet?" Jules said, for the upteenth time.

"No." Sally said.

"Are we there yet?" Jules said.

"No." Kowalski grumbled.

"Are we there yet?" Jules said.

"No." Axel and Siri said at the same time.

"Are we there yet?" Jules said.

"NO!" Everyone screamed.

"Please, just let me end this nuisance once and for all." Siri said, extending her claws. Jules cringed.

"We are not ending anyone." Sally said. "If anyone should be ended, it should be Kowalski."

"Hey, that was uncalled for." Kowalski said. "It's not like I left the map behind, so we got lost in a forest."

"Oh, you bring that up again." Sally said, gritting her teeth. 'Again, why did I pick him?' She thought. 'He may be really cute, but he's so annoying.' "I already told you, it was an accident. Now shut up."

"Hey, you can't tell him to shut up." Siri said.

Sally held her head up high. "I am the Pokemon trainer here." She said. "You're supposed to do what I say."

Siri growled. "The day I take orders from a human, is the Jules flies." She said.

Before anyone else could say anything, Sally bumped into a boy. They both fell down, with her on top. When she opened her eyes, she looked down at him. Ooohhh, he's cute.' She thought, looking into his brown eyes. "Get off of me." The boy growled, trying to push her off.

Sally blushed and stood up. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." She said, extending a hand down to him.

The boy slapped her hand away. "I don't need any help." He said, getting up.

"Well, that was rude." Sally frowned at him, placing her hands on her hips. 'He may be cute, but he's so rude.' "I was just trying to help."

"Well, I wouldn't have needed it if you had kept your eyes open." The boy said.

"If you're going to be like this, then I'll just leave." Sally said, sticking her chin up in the air.

"How about one battle before you go." The boy said. Sally looked at him and cocked her head. "So, I can see your face when you lose."

Sally gave him a 'Oh, no you didn't' face. "Like you'll ever beat me." She said, before chuckling. "I'm way smarter than you."

"Oh really, then prove it." The boy said, throwing out a pokeball. A Shinx appeared.

Kowalski opened his mouth, but Sally cut him off. "Already know about it." She said, swiping a hand in the air. The boy raised an eyebrow. "Oh, he just annoys me, that's all." 'If only he knew the truth.' She thought. "I think I'll send in Jules."

"Me?" Jules said, to which Sally nodded. 'He's going to have to fight, sometime.' She thought. The little Burmy gulped. "Alright." He moved out in front of the Shinx.

"Jules, use Protect." Sally said. Jules encased himself in his shell.

The boy smirked. "Weak." He said. "Shinx use Leer." The Shinx leered at Jules, causing him to shiver in fear.

"Oh, don't let him get to you." Sally scolded him. "Now, Tackle."

"But I don't know Tackle." Jules said.

Sally stood still for a moment, before falling backwards. She quicly got up. "What do you mean, you don't know Tackle?" She said, waving her arms in the air. "It's a basic attack."

"I've never battle anyone before." Jules said.

Sally groaned, to look over to the boy who was just staring at her. She glared. "What?" She nearly shouted.

"Oh, nothing." The boy shrugged. "Shinx, Tackle." The Shinx let on a burst of speed and came on its collision with Jules. This sent him flying, right into Sally's face.

"Looks like Jules flew." Axel said looking at Siri, with a smirk. Siri glared at him and punched him in the shoulder.

Sally rubbed her face, to which the boy started laughing. 'Alright, he's going down.' She thought. "Siri, it's your turn." She said.

Siri shrugged. "Why not?" She said. "I am in the need of a little action."

"Shinx, use Leer." The boy said. The Shinx leered, causing Siri to flinch. "Use Tackle."

"Dodge." Sally said. Siri dodged the other Pokemon's attack. "Now use Fury Swipes." Siri extended her claws and scratched at the Pokemon's side. The Shinx reeled back, in pain.

The boy growled. "Use Tackle again." The boy called. Shinx tried to reach Siri again.

"Siri, use Fake Out." Sally commanded. Siri clasped her hands together, as a shockwave hit the Shinx. The little electric type flew back onto the ground, unconcious. The boy recalled it into its Pokeball.

The boy sent out another Pokeball. This one containing a Turtwig. "Turtwig, use Razor Leaf." He said. Automatically, the Turtwig sent out of a swarm of leaves. They hit Siri, knocking her back.

"Siri, use Bite." Siri lunged at the Turtwig

"Turtwig, Withdraw." The Turtwig, withdrew into its shell.

Siri's teeth clamped onto it. Her eyes watered up and she reeled back in pain. "Oh, that smarts." She said, clasping a paw on her mouth.

The boy smirked. "Turtwig, use Tackle." The Turtwig came out of its shell and collided with Siri. Siri went to the the ground. She struggled to get up. "Turtwig, hit Meowth again with Tackle." The grass Pokemon hit her again, knocking her out of the fight. Sally cringed when she saw her go down.

Sally looked at her remaining Pokemon. 'I can't use Axel yet, cause he just hatched. I have to use Piplup, but the type advantage is on his side.' "Kowalski, get him." She said.

"Indubitebly." Kowalski said. He looked closely at the Turtwig. "Hey, didn't we meet before."

"Yep, back at the lab." The Turtwig said.

"So, how's it going for you?" Kowalski asked. He did quite enjoy this Pokemon's company. He kept his mind off his team.

"Alright, but this trainer is a pain at times." Turtwig said, rolling his eyes.

"Stop squaking and start battling." The boy scolded them.

"Hey, they were just talking." Sally said.

"As if anyone can understand them." The boy scoffed. "Turtig, use Razer Leaf." Again, Turtwig sent out a few leaves.

"Block it wit Bubble." Kowalski let out a series of bubbles that, stopped each leaf in its tracks.

"Turtwig, Tackle now." The Turtwig made its way over to Kowalski.

"Kowaslki, use Bubble again." Kowalski let out another series of bubbles that hit Turtwig. This made the Turtwig stop its attack and take a step back. Sally knew that it hadn't been a effective hit.

"Use, Tackle." Both trainers said at the same time. The Pokemon headed straight for each and collided. They flew apart, hitting the ground. Still, neither of them were finished. "Use Tackle." The boy said.

As the Turtwig ran to Kowalski, Sally got an idea. "Kowalski, hit him into the air and use Bubble." Kowalski slid towards Turtwig and as he neared, he kicked him in the jaw and sent him over top. He then use bubble to make him go higher. The Turtwig came crashing down, head first. It groaned in pain.

The boy frowned. "Lucky break." He said, returning his Turtwig.

"Luck had nothin to do with it." Sally said, clucking her tongue on her cheek.

"Yeah, yeah." The boy said, heading off.

"Wait." Sally called, remembering her predicament. "Wheres Jubilife City?"

The boy pointed to his right. "You can't miss it, morons." He said.

The whole gang turned to their right, ony to see the city. They all sweatdropped. "You mean it was right there?" Siri croaked.

"Yeah, if only we had a map." Kowalski said. Sally just glared at him.

I hope you guys like this one. Sorry for any pauses.
