After Koneko's near death experience, she became more cautious and less bold about entering battle. Of course, she didn't have to worry about being attacked. Klara was tough enough to handle pretty much anything that got in the way. Not to mention Taylor could easily defeat enemy forces as well.

"I'm bored…" Taylor moaned.

Klara walked next to her. There was an edgy truce between the two. "So, you're a Riolu. Can you use attacks that are based off of your aura?" She asked.

Taylor sniffed the air before replying, "I don't know how to control it…"

"Maybe if you evolve, you can control it." Klara muttered.

Koneko walked alongside of the group. She stayed quiet. Taylor shrugged. "I guess. I can practice and try to improve my abilities."

Klara glanced at Taylor. "What is that glowing on your chest?"

"That's the crystal on my chest. And its glow is the same color as the rocks." Taylor looked confused.

Koneko glanced at Taylor. She was worried, but remained quiet. Klara noticed the crystal on Taylor and blinked. "Is this bad?"

"I don't know."

Koneko sensed that someone was coming. "Guys. I sense that a dark Pokemon is coming this way. I can't tell if it's a human or a real Pokemon." She warned.

All three jerked toward the sound of footsteps. Klara stood in front of her friends, ready to protect them at all costs. She noticed that something black was staggering out of the forest. "Stay close to me." She ordered Taylor and Koneko.

"Right." Koneko decided that it was better not to argue with Klara.

Then it came. A Mightyena staggered out of the forest and looked at the group. "Whooor you?" The voice was clearly female. And it was also clear that she wasn't used to talking in that form yet.

"I'm Taylor." The Riolu seemed to take a likening to the Mightyena.

Klara wasn't as trusting. "Klara."

"Koneko." Koneko was in the same boat as Klara.

The Mightyena hissed and coughed. "I'm Spirit. I….I…..Something told me to find you and I did. I….really am confused."

"You're a human?" Klara asked.

Spirit nodded slowly and began to stagger away. "I must…become human…."

"Come with us. To Mew." Koneko had no idea why she invited the Mightyena. If she was a newly changed human, she might not have her instincts under control yet. That means that if any unsuspecting Rattata or Pichu got in the way…..

"Mew? It doesn't exist. Just a legend." Spirit said absently.

Taylor shook her head. "No. Dad saw Mew with his own eyes!"

"Okay…okay….right. If you say that Mew exists, then I'll take your word for it." Spirit was clearly mistrustful.

Klara nodded, "We wouldn't lie to you. We are in the same position as you. Mew is our only hope at returning to human."

"It's in the Land of the Legendaries." Koneko added softly.

Spirit nodded, "Fine. Okay. I'll join you."

Taylor nodded, "That's great news! Let's get out of here!"

The group continued on. Taylor had not yet stopped glowing. Klara noticed this and said, "Maybe she'll blow up…."

"KLARA! That wasn't nice. Apologize!" Koneko, for the first time in a while, yelled.

Taylor growled, "Maybe I'll latch onto your head and you'll blow up with me!"

"Can't. I'm steel, remember?" Klara proudly slammed a huge claw into her chest, making her entire body rumble.

Spirit growled slightly. She was still not used to this form. However, she did find them amusing. Koneko, being another dark type, was probably going to be the closest thing to a friend. Klara, although a bit rash and bold, seemed to be okay. Taylor was fine.

"So….I know that we're all Pokemon now, but what did you look like as a human? I'm curious?" Taylor asked.

Koneko sat down. "I had black hair and green eyes. Of course, you can't see that. I'm an Absol now. And I hope that we're going to find Mew soon."

Klara agreed, "Right. As for me, everyone stays that I looked like Dad, but I have Mom's red hair. Quite a strange combo, huh?"

"I had black hair and brown eyes." Taylor muttered. She kicked a rock that was at her feet.

Spirit sighed, "Where are we? And what is this Land of the Legendaries?"

Suddenly, the Murkrow shot out of the sky and landed on a branch. "Mightyena, I must avoid, for prey I might be!" It babbled. Then, turning to Klara, crowed, "Evolved, the Scyther has. To Scizor. Stronger. Stronger. Good. Good."

"Koneko? Do you know that buzzard?" Klara asked.

The Murkrow laughed, "Off to the Tree of Beginnings, I am. Be seeing you, I will." With that, it flew off.

All four had their mouths open. "Uhhhh….that was weird." Taylor stared at the perch.

"That was crazy. I mean, seriously crazy." Klara looked startled. Her golden eyes watched as the Murkrow flew out of sight.

Spirit sat down next to Koneko. "Where did you find those two?"

"Long story." Koneko replied.

Taylor began to panic. "I don't want to die! I don't want to die trying to find Mew!!"

"Yeah." Klara muttered. It was obvious that she was not paying attention.

Spirit stood up. "Alright. Koneko. That Murkrow left behind a scent. Let's follow it."

Koneko nodded. She hadn't thought about that. "Let's track that Murkrow just like it was a meal!"
