I shifted my bag on my shoulders, and sighed peacefully. So far, the five of us had a lot of luck. Our guardians had let us go, nobody knew about our morphing powers, and we were all traveling in a forest. I had no idea which forest, but we were headed somewhere. Our first stop would be Agate Village, to buy Poke balls. It was about a two-day travel by foot, so we all agreed camping was necessary. I held my clipboard up to my face and reviewed each page. My page was first.

Jovi

Leader of the Pokemorphs

Swim morphs: Squirtle

Flying morph: Xatu

Battle morphs: Absol, Glameow

Town morphs: Glameow, Kecleon, Scyther, Zangoose

I furrowed my brow. Hadn't I gotten more town morphs while at the Pokémon Center with Lixxy? Oh, well. I'd add them now.

Town morphs: Glameow(battle also), Kecleon, Scyther, Zangoose, Shinx, Ponyta

I smiled. I really liked my morphs! Next…I turned the page, and nodded. It was Emily's page now. She told me she didn't want a title. She said that she just wanted to be a Pokemorph. So that's what I marked on her page.

Emily

Pokemorph Emily

Pokemorph

Swim morph: Golduck, Goldeen

Flying morph: Fearrow, Swellow, Wingull

Battle Morph: Arcanine

Town morphs: Growlithe, Pinsir, Parasect, Spinarak, Aipom, Bunneary

Like me, Emily had gone to the Pokémon Center a second time. She went with Onyx, though, and I went with Lixxy. I had a feeling Onyx wouldn't go with Lixxy. Onyx seemed suspicious of Lixxy, and Lixxy's comment ("I guess you can do it too") didn't make it much better. Onyx's list was next, and I nodded as I read her morphs, making sure they were correct.

Onyx

Tech-Pokemorph

Swim morph: Lanturn

Battle morph: Quilava/Umbreon

Flying morph: Charizard *shiny

Town morphs: Carnivine, Crogunk, Sneasel, Yanma, Troupius

I nodded, eyebrows raised. Onyx certainly had good morphs! A shiny Charizard, huh? It's not every day you see one of those. The trainer who owned it certainly was lucky.

Next was Lixxy. I didn't remember what her morphs were, only that she was still getting used to them.

Lixxy

Pokemorph

Battle morph: Typhlosion/Ninetales

Flying morph: Pidgeot

Water morph: Ekans

Town morphs: Magby, Combusken, Skitty, Snubbull

I nodded again. Now I remembered. She had chosen quite cute town morphs. Yet they were powerful. Snubbull was a very protective Pokémon. Magby was a fiery Pokémon that could easily set a building on fire. Lixxy had potential.

Lastly, I saw Chobin's list.

Chobin

Shadow-Pokémon-Seer

No morphs

His list was obviously the shortest.

I sighed and put my clipboard away. That killed about five minutes. I opened my PDA and realized it was 3:30 in the afternoon. Wow, we had been walking for five hours!

"Jovi?"

I turned my head to the left. "Yes?"

Emily pointed up ahead. "The path splits up ahead. Which way do we go?"

I looked up ahead, eyes narrowed. I nodded. "Well…either way, we're not getting much closer to Cipher. Let's go right. Is that good, everyone?"

The Pokemorphs and Chobin muttered their agreement.

"Do you think it'd be better to morph and walk?" Emily suggested. "I feel like it…"

I shook my head. "Sorry," I said, "but Chobin would lag behind. Not now. Maybe later, though."

Emily's eyes lit up. "Great." She quickened her pace, leaving me to go talk to Onyx. Lixxy was avoiding Chobin a bit, who was walking a bit funny. I put my arms behind my head, smiling to myself. Right now, life was good.

Yeah…I thought too soon.

As we turned right, we immediately knew we had made a wrong turn. A man was standing in our way, and my eyes widened. "You!" I shouted, pointing my finger. It was the same man who had tried to capture me in Gateon Port, with the bag and rope. Except this time, he had a friend with him…a Shiftry!

The man looked confused for a moment, and then shook it off. "That's right," he growled. "Remember me? I almost got your little Plusle, Jovi!"

He doesn't know! Thank goodness.

"This time, I don't need to go through a stupid Plusle to get to you…The Admin will be pleased."

"Who are you?" I demanded, taking out a Poke ball. The others took a hint and took out their Poke balls, glaring. "What do you want?"

The man chuckled. "Look," he said. "It's simple…tell me where your brother is, and I'll let you go…If you don't cooperate, we'll have to force you to!"

"Oh, really?" I asked, preparing to throw out my Poke ball. "Try me!"

"Attack!" the man shouted. But he wasn't ordering his Shiftry. There were five Nuzleaf surrounding us! They were about to leap at us, but suddenly they were frozen in place.

"What the-?"

All of us looked around, amazed. "What just happened?" Emily asked.

"Nothing you can change…" the man growled. "Shiftry, I'll just use you! Go!"

Shiftry shot forward, and I couldn't move. Suddenly, another wave of ice blew past, and a Glaceon dropped down from the trees.

"Now, Glaceon!" ordered a voice from above. "Send this guy away! Him and his buddies!"

Glaceon let out a battle cry and raced forward. It rammed into the strange man, who fell backwards at once. He took six Poke balls from his pocket, and returned the six grass Pokémon. Glaceon let out another cry, and began to run forward. The man took a hint and leaped to his feet. He glared at me. "Whatever you did, Jovi," he hissed, "it won't save you next time! Or my name isn't Luther!" He turned and began to run off, with Glaceon close behind. Luther disappeared into the trees, and then someone dropped down onto the ground in front of me. He stood up, standing taller than me.

He turned around, brushing off his white shirt. His eyes flashed with concern. "Are you all alright?" he asked. "That guy didn't hurt you, did he?"

We all shook our heads. "Thanks to you, we're fine," I said. "Who are you, anyway? I've never seen you before?"

"I'm not surprised," the boy said. "I don't come here often. My name's Kiro. I heard your name's Jovi…who are the others?"

"This is Emily…Onyx, Lixxy, and Chobin." I put out a hand. "Nice to meet you, Kiro. And thanks for saving us."

Kiro waved his hand as though it were nothing, and then put it to mine. We shook hands. "No problem," Kiro said. "I just need to find Glaceon again…"

"I can do it," Emily offered. She released Wingull. "Wingull!" she called. "Go find a Glaceon. Bring it back here!"

Wingull cried out an answer, and then flew away. Kiro's eyebrows rose. "Thanks," he said, "that helps."

Everything was silent a moment. A Swellow called out overhead, and then I sighed. I put my hands into my jean pockets. "So…" I began. "Where are you going now, Kiro? Do you have other Pokémon?"

"Oh, yeah," Kiro answered, nodding. "Definitely. The ones I have now are Togekiss, Glaceon, Blastoise, Quilava, Combusken, and…er…Gengar. That's my team."

I raised my eyebrows. "Good team," I praised. "And Glaceon fights well. Her speed is amazing."

Kiro smiled. "Thanks."

Emily came over to us. "Where are you going now?" she asked.

Kiro shrugged. "I'm not too sure," he replied, running his fingers through his dark red hair. Maybe Agate Village. They sell Poke balls, so…"

"That's where we're headed!" I said. "Do you want to come with us?"

"Sure," Kiro replied, grinning. "Sounds fun."

I nodded. "It always does," I said quietly, turning to my team. They all smiled, knowing my words had more meaning than Kiro knew.

Those who have OC's: if you don't like the fact I put town morphs for your characters, sorry. But I need them to have some town morphs. Sorry!

Yeah, it was quick and short. But I am putting all of your OCs in, and it's hard to spread them all out. So, I'm saying that it has been about a week since the Pokemorphs said they'd head out. Jace's Crew's chapter was in place of another Jovi chapter, so it's been a week. So now, our Pokemorphs are:

Jovi

Emily

Onyx

Lixxy

Chobin

And soon-to-be:

Kiro

We have two (or three, I might add one) more Pokemorphs coming. That'll make eight or nine Pokemorphs! That's a lot, but it's really good. But I still need people to submit trainer, Cipher, or Pokémon OCs. Thanks!

Next: The Pokemorphs reach Agate Village after two days and buy Poke balls. They part ways with Kiro for now…but in this crazy world, how long do you think that'll last? Meanwhile, Jace's Crew is headed towards Team Snagem's base, and trying to retrieve a lost Pokémon stolen from Oliver's dad.
