Kate POV

"Kate! I've been looking for you. Let's get going back to Vientown." Barlow said, walking up to me. I had just finished my breakfast, which was a bowl of porridge.

"Great. I'm so excited to see Afro-boy again. Can you hear the excitement in my voice?" I said, sarcastically.

"Wow. That is just... So motivating!" Barlow said.

We walked out of the Union after saying goodbye to Professor Hastings. We were just walking down the second flight of stairs when the ground started shaking.

"Was that an earthquake?" Barlow asked after it had finished.

"Nah, the ground was just shaking around for no reason." I said, face palming. Of course it was an earthquake, dumb ass...

"Well, sorry. And it might not of been an earthquake. It could of been an explosion or something." He said. We started walking again. We were going past a small wood cabin when there was another earthquake.

"Aftershock?" I asked.

"Nah, just before the earthquake, I think I heard a Pokemon. I couldn't make out what Pokemon it was though. We better go sort this out." Barlow said.

A woman ran out of the cabin.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"There's a man and two Rampardos at Peril Cliffs, and they haven't come back yet! Can you two please to check on them?" She said.

"Sure, we were gonna go and check around anyway." Barlow told the woman.

"Thank you, I got very worried for him when the first earthquake struck." The woman said, before going back into her house.

"Hey Kate, did you just hear that?" I listened. I heard a faint Pokemon cry.

"Let's get going." I said. We ran a bit further down the road. There were large footprints that led onto a path.

"That's the path to Peril Cliffs. We better get there fast." Barlow said after the third earthquake struck.

We ran down the path, and I stopped when we came to a cliff.

"How do we get up there?" I asked. Barlow answered by walking over, and starting to climb some vines.

"Uhhh... I'm not sure those vines are gonna hold-" I said.

"Are you calling me fat? I'll have you know it's all muscle."

"No! I was going to say, they don't look like they could hold anything."

"Well, they can. Hurry up. We've got a person and two Pokemon to find." We climbed up the vines, and stood up on a plateau. We did this over and over until we got to the top of the cliff-mountain-thingie.

"Hey, Kate, look at that!" Barlow said, pointing down at two Rampardos head butting the side of a cliff.

"We've got to get down there! Now!" I said, scrambling down some vines. We were now going down on the other side of the mountain, the only way to get to the Rampardos.

"Kate, look! There's some of those yellow Gigaremos!" I looked at where he was pointing, and sure enough, there were two yellow Gigaremos.

"I don't know what destroys them. Any ideas?" I asked.

"Try that Mawile over there. You never know, it could work." I caught the Mawile, and got it close enough to the Gigaremo to crush it.

"Mawile! Get rid of it!" I said. It's jaws, the ones on the back of its head, crushed the Gigaremo in one chomp.

"Yeah! Good job, Mawile!" I said, high fiving Barlow. I ran back and found another Mawile, and destroyed the other Gigaremo. The Pokemon in the area went back to normal.

"We might have to capture those Rampardos. You should probably get a fighting type Pokemon to help capture it, 'cause Rock's weak against fighting type." Barlow said, moving over to catch a few Pokemon. I ran over to a Mankey and caught it, as well as a Magnemite in case my Styler would need recharging.

"Ready?" Barlow asked.

"As ready as I will ever be." I said. I was starting to get nervous. This was the first bigger Pokemon I have tried to capture.

"Remember at the Ranger School? When you captured that Tangrowth? Treat this like that. They're similar size Pokemon, and you have a better styler now." Barlow said.

"Ok then..." I gulped. Well, it was now or never.

"I'm ready." I said.

"Good."

I followed Barlow to the Rampardos.

"OI! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING." Barlow yelled over the loud Rampados to a guy dressed in black. He had a purple logo on it as well.

"Wh-hat! Rangers?" The guy had a small computer next to him, with the same logo on it.

"What are you doing?" Barlow shouted at the guy.

"O-oh, um, I'm a, um, I'm a geologist! Yeah! A geologist!"

"Totally not suspicious." I whispered to Barlow, who sniggered.

"Well then, Mr. Geologist, what's the soil composition?" I asked.

"The s-soil composition? Oh, um, it's got some water, and some dirt, and lots of, um, red clay, and a dash of salt, an- OH, FUCK THIS. Rampardos, can you explain to these Rangers about Team Dim Sun?" The guy typed something into his computer, and the two dinosaur Pokemon turned around to look at us.

"Good luck." Barlow said, not taking his eyes off the Pokemon.

"Same to you." I replied. Finally, one came charging at me.

"CAPTURE ON!" I yelled. After dodging tackles and rocks falling around me, and with the help of Mankey, I managed to capture my Rampardos. I looked over at the guy who was trying to get control of the Pokemon again, but to no avail. After Barlow had finished his capture, we released our Rampardos and walked over to the guy, who was still frantically typing things into the computer.

"Listen, buddy. We've won. You've lost. Now, tell us what the Rampardos were supposed to say about Team Dim Sun, and what that little computer is." Barlow said.

"No! Staraptor, take me away!" The guy tapped a few more things into his computer, and a Staraptor came and grabbed the back of his shirt with it's talons, and the guy quickly grabbed the computer.

"Damn it!" I said.

"Oh well, at least we freed the Rampardos. And who knew soil had dirt in it? He must of been a real good geologist." Barlow said. We laughed.

"Well, Kate, well done. Your first major capture as a real Ranger. Mission clear!" We did our Ranger poses. "And also, you've met the criteria to go to Ranger Rank four!"

"Oh yeah!" I said, doing my pose again.

"Let's get back to the base." Barlow said. I followed him back to the main road.

"Doduo!" A Doduo ran past, with another following it.

"Catch them!" Barlow shouted.

"Ok then?" I said, capturing the nearest one.

"Now your Rank 4, you can ride a Doduo. Just hop on it, and tell it where to go. It's faster than running, and good when your tired from climbing cliffs or something."

"Ok then." I said. I hopped on my Doduo.

"Ok then! I'll see you back at the base!" Barlow said, before his Doduo ran off. I followed him, but slower, so I didn't fall off. I stopped over in Pueltown Ranger Depot for something to eat for lunch, and to recharge my styler.

"I'm sorry, all we have, that you can actually eat, is some pasta and pasta sauce, bread, and some eggs. I was supposed to go shopping today, but it slipped my mind." The Operator said.

"Uhhh... Scrambled eggs, please?" I said

"Sure!"

"Look, you didn't have to make me lunch." She insisted on making me lunch, and it was probably good that she was, or else I might of been going hungry. I'm not the best cook.

"Oh, I like cooking, so it's fine."

A few minutes later, my scrambled eggs were cooked.

"Do you want any toast with it?" She asked.

"Yes please."

She was bringing my plate over to me, when a Pichu ran in and tripped her up.

"Damn it! Not you again!" The Operator said.

"I'll clean it up." I said, grabbing a cloth.

"Ok, I'll make some more. That Pichu is so annoying! It runs in here whenever I'm serving food..."

A little while later, the floor was clean, I had finished my lunch, and had my styler charged.

"See you later!" The Operator said as I walked out the door.

Eventually I got to Vientown. After releasing the Doduo, I walked into the base.

"Hey Kate!" Elaine said.

"Your so lucky! You got to stay at the Ranger Union! And I heard your Ranger Rank 4! The same as me!" Luana said, hugging me.

"Hey, what took you so long? Too scared to make the Doduo go faster than a walk?" Crawford sniggered.

"No! I just... Made a few... stops." I said, quickly making something up.

"You're as bad as a liar as that Dim Sun guy." Barlow said.

"Hmph." I said, walking to my room. I checked my phone, which I had left here, since I thought I wouldn't be staying the night at the Union.

I had four texts, two from Rhythmi, one from Kellyn, and one from Keith. I answered them all, then texted Isaac and Georgia, who I realised I hadn't contacted at all since we all separated. I was about to put my phone down when my phone started ringing. No caller ID. Weird.

"Hey Kate!"

"Hi, who is this?"

"It's Emma!"

"So you finally got a phone, huh?"

Kellyn POV

"Georgia! Wait up!"

Damn it. Why! Why did I have to upset her! Now she was running off, and all because of me.

This morning I got my first mission alone in the desert, and I was half an hour late back to the base. Ever since I had gotten back, Georgia had avoided me, and when I asked her why, she ran off!

I followed her down to the wharf.

"Go away!" She shouted at me.

"No! I just want to know what I did wrong!"

"Just leave me alone." She said, looking away.

"No." I said, walking up to her.

"Fine, you wanna know what you did wrong? You were late back from your first mission alone in the desert! You could of at least reported back a couple of times, anything could've happened!"

"I'm sorry Georgia, I just got side tracked..." She was upset, just because of that? She should know nothing would happen to me! But I knew saying that would get her even shittier at me.

Georgia POV

Why can't he realise that he made me worry! It was the desert, for Arceus' sake! There could of been a sandstorm, or a Hippowdon could've eaten him, millions of things could of gone wrong!

"Georgia! Please, just don't be mad at me! Your my only friend here!" Kellyn whined. That was true. Kellyn hadn't gotten along with the other Rangers, while I had. But, sometimes I wished I was more than a friend... When we were back at Ranger School, when I first started, the only reason I didn't speak to anyone at first was because I didn't think I fitted in, and Kellyn was the first person to be friendly to me. Ever since about a month of knowing him, I had a crush on him.

I sighed. I knew he was never going to figure it out, unless I tell him. Damn it.

"I'm sorry as well, for over reacting and all..." I said.

"So we're still friends?" Kellyn asked.

"Yeah... Still friends..." I said sadly.

The Anaconda music video has mentally scared me. One of my friends are trying to get me to listen to more 'popular' music, and decided to show me that one. 'Nuff said.

Thank you for all of your reviews, favourites, and follows! They motivate me to write. :-)

I JUST HAD A REALLY GOOD IDEA FOR A CHAPTER AND NOW ITS GONE D: :'(

And I promise there'll be more romancy stuff, but it's kinda hard since they are all apart.

I JUST GOT THE IDEA BACK :D

Now, sadly, I have to do homework.
