AN: Ryan back! Happy 4th of July you Americans! Oh gods, I feel so ashamed for saying this but I prefer many updates of 500-1000 words chapters instead of 1 chapter of 2000 words. I'm so sorry, so every Sunday/Monday, I will write a 2000 word chapter and any other time I update is going to be 1 to 5 chapters in a day with 500-1000 words. It's easier for me to write lots of short chapters than one big chapter. I'm so weird. Also, there is a Poll on my profile that you Changing readers need to do, kay? This chapter contains a lot of Jay screentime, yay. CONFESSION TIME, OH SNAP!

Onto chapter 11! *shot for terrible romance* I'm sorrrrrrrrrryyyy, I suck at romance words and crap, I can write lemons good 't kill me! *hides*

To weep is to make less the depth of grief.

"If you change your ways, I'll get off." Jay said calmly to the larvitar that she was holding to the ground. She really hated being rude to others but how could Shane betray them. "Please, you must know that you've done wrong. There is still time to change."

"Why would I change?" Shane widened his eyes in surprise, he was a bad, wasn't he? Why did it hurt suddenly instead his chest, like it felt heavy and full of water.

"Because somewhere in your soul is that shy and sweet larvitar that helped me look for berries. Remember, we had so much fun?" Jay suggested, hopeful to change the larvitar's mind.

"That was an act." Shane said matter-of-factly.

"No, you're wrong!" Jay's face flushed pink as she told the larvitar her confession."Is it all right to like someone in such a short amount of time. Since I saw you from my cage in the facility. You were right next to me, also the first to even speak to me. You kept me company and told me everything was going to be okay. I think I'm in love with you." Jay turned her face away from Shane as she spoke to him.

Shane's venom green eyes were wide with shock. He'd never had anyone say that they loved him, not even his parents. A dusty pink blush creped onto his face as well.

"Look at me, Jay." Shane spoke softy in a way that shed the evil in his heart away. They both felt faint and warm as Jay turned back towards him. Chocolate brown melted into the lush green forest eyes of Shane's and the distance was closed. The absol and larvitar kissed softly in sync, lips moving against each other like a waltz dance. A tear ran onto Shane's face from above him as Jay blinked her tears back in happiness, licking her own salty tear off of Shane's face.

While the two were becoming close, Aeryn and Mark were still fighting claw and fang against each other. Neither wanted to back down as the sun was setting in the horizon. She was sweating and wasn't getting anywhere. The ninetales looked over towards Jay to her locked lips with Shane. Mark looked over to, shocked. Enemies kissing? What was going on? Suddenly the ground beneath the houndoom was gone as he was lifted into the air. Aeryn turned back towards Mark to see Vitorio lifting Mark into the sky and flung him like a rubber band. Aeryn flinched at the impact of Mark's body against the ground, bones snapping.

Vit and Lexi landed on the ground and Shane and Jay came over. The five stood around awkwardly. Only Jay knew Shane was really a bad guy but that was all taken care of. Vit then noticed a small luxio on the ground, laying limp in a pool of his own blood. His eyes widen and he knew that it was Casper. Emotions swirled in his head but he kept that trademark bored look on his face. Vit walked over to Casper and picked him up, cradling him to his chest. He was still breathing but barely. Vit growled in his throat, cursing to the ones who did this to his Casper, wait when did Casper belong to him?

They needed to help him as soon as possible. Southeast, away from the next facility was a small town and maybe they could get help there. Vit was more worried about the luxio than rescuing the other pokemon. Aeryn looked at the ground.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help him." Aeryn said sadly. "We can still help him though, we need to find a Pokemon Center."

"No one is to blame, Aeryn." Jay said, cuddling her new found love.

The group began to travel downhill, into soft grass. The town would take a day in a half by foot but if they hurried, only a day at the most.

AN: Such innocentiness to Vit/Casper, it's like aww...
