Chapter 14

Me: Hey guys! I hope you enjoy my new chapter. Since school is going start soon I won't be able to update as much as usual. Dang it! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL! I start 8th grade in 6 days on September 9th. I don't own Pokémon.

Dawn's POV

I can't believe I lied to my sisters last night. I didn't want to tell them that I was saved by my target. I especially didn't want them to know I kind of like Paul. Even if he is a heartless, emotionless jerk.

I was sitting at the table munching a blueberry muffin when Leaf came in from her walk soaking wet.

"OMG Leaf what happened to you" I cried.

"I was by the lake when I was startled by a deer" Leaf answered, "So I fell into the lake."

I ran upstairs with Leaf and the rest of my sisters and helped Leaf change into dry clothes. I saw Leaf shivering so I wrapped her in a blanket.

"Sorry Leaf but you can't go to school you'll get sick" Misty said sternly.

Leaf opened her mouth to protest but the rest of the girls said nothing would change their mind. Leaf sighed and finally gave in.

The rest of the girls but on our uniforms and left the house telling Leaf to get well. As they walked to school they saw Shane coming towards them riding her skateboard.

"Hey guys" Shane murmured.

"Hey Shane what's wrong" May asked.

"It's nothing really" Shane responded then gave a big smile, "I'm totally fine!"

They all smiled and continued walking to school or skating in Shane's case.

Shane is upset and I can feel it I thought.

*time skips to history*

I was sitting in class with May and Shane bored silly. Shane was next to me and May was on my other side. We were working on a worksheet and May and I were struggling.

"Hey Shane how are you doing" I asked.

"Shane are you listening" May inquired.

May and I turned to see Shane staring at that magenta haired boy Roark. I don't think she was even blinking.

"Yo Shane wakey-wakey" May announced.

May and I started shaking Shane out of her trance.

"I'm fine I'm all good" Shane said nervously.

May and I chuckled at Shane's blush. She was obviously in love with Roark even if she won't admit it to anyone.

"Why don't you talk to him Shane" I asked, "Where's the confident Shane that I met before"

"She left and died in a hole" Shane replied harshly.

"Whoa" May and I said together.

We had never heard Shane so negative. She usually had smile no matter what there was something totally wrong.

May POV

Dawn, Shane and I walked into the lunch line. There was something wrong with Shane today but i couldn't figure out why.

I saw her pick up a salad, a banana, and a bottle of water. When she took her lunch she had her head down. I saw Dawn pick up a cheese pizza, ice tea, and a sugar cookie.

We all sat at our normal table. Misty is late I wonder where she is? Shane kept her head down the entire time. I was sick that she didn't want to tell us what's wrong.

"Ugh Shane just tell us why you are sad" I said angrily.

"Do you really want to know" Shane responded.

She looked really sad that even her blood red eyes weren't twinkling like they usually do. They were dull with no spark as if something died inside of her.

"Yes we are your friends we want to help" Dawn replied.

Shane looked both ways before answering in a whisper.

"I can't tell you here but you can come to my house after school so I can explain" Shane said softly.

We both nodded yes and a little twinkle returned in her eyes. I smiled at her then I looked down at her lunch.

"Hey Shane why do you always eat healthy food" I asked.

"I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat meat" Shane said.

We all looked at each other and laughed. I wish I knew where Misty was she's missing out on the fun.

Ash's POV

Huff Huff Huff!

I was running to train Pikachu to increase his speed. Pikachu was beating me by a mile. I was so out of shape.

Then I saw Pikachu stop running and move his ears around. He looked really confused and nervous.

"Pikachu what's wrong?" I asked.

"Pika! Pikachu!" Said Pikachu while pointing over by a bunch of trees.

So I ran with Pikachu on my shoulder only to see a weird man and that girl from my class Misty.

"Misty what's going on" I asked clearly confused.

They turned and looked at me. With Misty distracted the mysterious man attacked. He hit Misty across her face. Then he used a special power to start freezing Misty's body.

"Ash help!" Misty screamed.

I ran forward and started beating him up hitting him harder from every blow. I turned and looked at Misty to see she was completely frozen!

I got super angry and slammed my hands together. A bolt of electricity shot through my fingers and struck the man. He went flying through the sky and disappeared.

He turned his attention back to Misty and smashed the ice around her. He carried her away from the ice and wrapped her in his jacket.

"Misty please wake up" I begged.

She began to open her eyes slowly.

"Ash did you help me" Misty answered weakly, "Thank you"

Before I got a chance to answer she hugged me and gave me a peck on the cheek.

I blushed when she handed back my jacket and ran off. She sure was something.

Leaf's POV

The girls were finally home and they told me there was something we have to meet Shane at her place for something important.

My cold had gone down so I was fine to go out. I liked Shane so I wanted to make sure she was ok. For some reason I felt connected to Shane.

We all went down to her house down by the school. We stopped in front of a blue house about the size of a mansion but a bit smaller. It had blood red roofs and doors.

Our jaws dropped to the ground just seeing the size of it. So Dawn walked forward and knocked at the door. We heard footsteps approach the door.

We heard the flips of locks and the door opened revealing a smaller girl with snow white hair with blue streaks in a long braid with a Staraptor's bang.

She wore a white shirt with sleeves down to her elbows with a blue sleeveless vest with a hood. She had blue skirt with white leggings and white converse sneakers with black laces. She had a big smile and was holding an Igglybuff.

"Can I help you with something" She asked sweetly.

"We are looking for Shane do you know her" I inquired.

"Yea she's my older sister and my name is Robin" She answered.

She led us into the house as we walked in we saw so many different types of Pokémon. They all were running around playing. How cute are these little guys?

Robin lead us to what I think was their living room.

"So why do you need Shane" Robin asked while stroking Igglybuff.

"She was upset at school and she told us she couldn't tell us at school" Dawn remarked.

Robin froze in mid-stroke and looked at us with wide eyes. I guess she didn't expect us to ask that. It must be a huge problem.

"If Shane mentioned it that means she can trust you so I will trust you too." Robin replied nervously, "But she is upset about two things"

We all looked confused at her as we waited for her answer.

"The first reason may be about our two other sisters Leon and Drama" Robin stated sadly, "They left on an adventure so since Shane is the oldest she tries to keep us together"

"She must feel bad that her family separated" May said.

"What about your parents" Misty asked.

Robin looked too upset to answer.

"They died after I was born so Shane always protected us" Robin choked.

They all looked at each in a sad way. They understood the pain they felt.

"I'm sorry we asked and what is the second reason why she is upset" I inquired.

"Don't feel sorry you had no way of knowing Shane likes to keep to herself" Robin answered cheerfully.

Robin was about to say why Shane was upset when they heard a roar. We ran outside to see the problem. It was a Lucario getting beaten up by a Dragonite.

Before we reacted Robin ran into the battle. We all gasped and tried to stop her but she kept going. She ran in front of Lucario and held her arms out and Dragonite stopped attacking.

"Dragonite stop fighting Lucario when he's hurt" Robin said gently but sternly.

Dragonite bowed sheepishly to accept the punishment. Robin said something to him which made Dragonite fly away. She turned her attention to Lucario and fixed her up then laid her in her own bed.

We returned to the living room and Robin poured us some tea.

"The second reason Shane is upset is because of the threat" Robin said seriously.

I looked at my sister and tried to read their faces. They seemed as confused as I was but I felt a strange aura from Robin.

"If I tell you this secret you can never tell a soul" Robin stated.

My sisters and I nodded and sat in suspense.

What is their secret and why are they so sad and who's this threat?

Talk about leaving when the party starts. So I won't be able to update so quickly and plz keep up the reviews plz!
