Hello everyone! And welcome to the next chapter of this fic! Uh…I have nothing else to say but enjoy.

Flame: SuperDaikenki does not own Pokémon.

Chapter 25: The Road to Comfort to Moonstone Mountain!

"Jesse! Jesse wait up!" Mystic shouted as she's running towards her friend in a wooded area.

"Mystic I don't want to talk about it. Not to you, not to Morgan, not to Dew, not to anyone." The Riolu said showing sighs of annoyance as he continued walking.

"But why not? Ever since this morning, you haven't been acting like yourself. Just tell us what is wrong, and maybe you'll fell a bit better." Mystic said trying to calm him down.

*Sigh* "Mystic, you know that we've been friends for so long, you were always like a sister to me, but it's just…" Jesse stopped.

"Just what?" Asked Mystic.

"It's just that I'm afraid of losing you guys! The dream that I had, it was too real! I saw everyone that I know and loved die right before my eyes! You, Morgan, Static, and Dew! And what's worse is that I couldn't do anything to stop it!" Jesse screamed as he burst into tears. Mystic couldn't help but feel bad for him.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to us." Said the Zorua as she turned into a Gardevoir and hugged him.

"There there, everything will be alright." Mystic spoke in a motherly tone as Jesse is still crying onto her.

*Sniff* "I just don't want to lose you guys." Jesse said as he calmed down a bit.

"Hey, we are a team right? We'll always have each other's backs." Both pokémon turned around as they saw Dew, Morgan, and Static.

"You've heard everything did you?" Asked Jesse looking down a bit embarrassed.

"Most of it." Said Morgan.

"Besides, if we go down, we'll go down fighting." Static said proudly.

"They're right you know. We are a team, we are friends, and we will never give up no matter what. No matter how tough things become." Added Mystic as she returned to her normal form.

"Thanks guys." Jesse got up as he smiled a little.

"Come on, Tyson's team is ready to go. Are you ready?" Asked Dew.

"Yeah…Let's go." The Riolu wiped his face as he and his teammates began to leave.

*Kramzak's Stronghold*

Kramzak the Drapion waits in his stronghold trying to shake off what happened between him and Celestio until a Beedrill wearing a green scarf approached him.

"Kramzak my Lord, you wish to summon me?" Asked the Bee pokémon.

"Yes Javaline, I understand that you caught a prisoner. Did you get anything out of him?" The giant scorpion questioned.

"Unfortunately, no. I've tried almost every torture method, but his will is too strong." The Beedrill known as Javaline replied as Kramzak slammed his mace on the ground as it created a large hole.

"I WANT WHATEVER INFORMATION HE HAS WEATER ITS ABOUT THE QUEEN OF THIEVES OR ANYONE ELSE THAT IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER I WANT IT NOW!" Kramzak shouted as the room shook like an earthquake.

"But sir…" Javaline said but she was cut off.

"Don't 'Sir' me! If you don't follow my orders, I will have you replaced! Guards, bring her in!" He yelled once more as a Hariyama and an unknown pokémon covered in armor opened the door for and escorted a young Kirlia with a blue scarf around her neck and a gold badge with a Drapion on it. She walked up to Kramzak with no emotion on her face as she took a bow to him.

"Yes Lord Kramzak?" The Kirlia asked as the Drapion turned to Javaline.

"Javaline, meet Sala. One of the best pokémon in my régime, and SOON to be your replacement.

"But isn't she your second in command?" Questioned Javaline who glared at Sala.

"Yes she is, but knowing how incompetent you are, she'll make a better spy and a better interrogator than what you'll ever be." The Drapion said coldly.

"But Lord…"

"LEAVE NOW AND CHECK ON THE PRISIONER! IF YOU HE DOSEN'T GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT THE QUEEN OF THIEVES, I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ON A PIKE! THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!" Kramzak shouted in pure rage as the Beedrill flew out of the room in fear.

"Wow, that was a great job you did there Lord Kramzak. And May I add, it is a privilege not to be your second in command, but also your head spy." The Kirlia known as Sala spoke almost quickly.

"Sala?" Kramzak spoke.

"What is it my Lord?" She asked.

"Shut up."

*Moonstone Mountain*

Team Ivory made caught up with Team Typhoon as they are near the base of the mountain.

*Yawn* "What took you guys so long?" Tyson asked.

"Nothing, we just got a little sidetracked." Lied Morgan.

"Moving on, Does anyone know where the shortcut is located?" Questioned Static.

"I've been through here many times, but just in case you get separated, let me mark your maps." Duncan said as Jesse looked for the map in his bag.

"Where's the map!?" Exclaimed Jesse as he's searching frantically.

"Don't worry, I think I have a spare." Assured Dew as he looked in his bag.

"What!? My map's gone too!" Shouted Dew as he is searching digging through the items.

"Looking for this?" Marin asked as she carried two maps in her tail.

"How did you do that?" Asked Team Ivory in shock.

"Me and my sisters were trained to be expert thieves." The Purrloin explained as Jesse and Dew took the maps back.

"One question." Morgan spoke. "Do you know anything about this "Queen of Thieves"?"

"The name sounds familiar, but my memory is a bit rusty." Said Marin.

"Anyways, we must go east of the mountain to head towards the cave. That cave is an underground passageway that will take us to a village just days away from the Western Desert." Explained Duncan.

"Also, I don't want any funny business." Tyson turned to Mystic as she laughed a small bit.

"What are we doing standing around? We should move already!" Static yelled enthusiastically as he ran off into the distance.

"Is he always like that?" Asked Marin.

"Unfortunately, yes." Replied Morgan.

*Shock*

Shock lay in his prison cell scarred and bleeding as a result from the torture he suffered Javaline.

"Aqua, Arrow, Static…Flame." The Raichu said to himself breathing heavily. "If you can hear me, I'm sorry. This mission is a failure." He said to himself as he heard a door open. There two feline like pokémon opened the cell door, both had on masks. The only difference is that one had a slender body, with purple spotted fur, and teal blue eyes, while the other had a brownish body and a curled tail.

"Oh my Arceus it's him!" The brown cat exclaimed. His voice indicates him as male and sounded a bit older.

"Quiet, you want Kramzak to know we're here?" The first pokémon replied, her voice is a young female.

"We must change the mission; we need to get him out now." The first pokémon stated."

*Sigh* Alright, fine but remember who's the "Queen". Got it?" She said as she tried to lift Shock as something fell from his body.

"Alright, let me get his item too. He's clearly trying to communicate with someone, and I think I know who."

Okay, it is time for me to end this here. It seems like Shock will be saved. Javaline will be in a lot of trouble if Kramzak or Sala finds out. Also, a little heartwarming moment around Jesse. Also, will Jesse recover some memory? What will happen to Shock? Who is the pokémon n armour? And what will be in store for Team Ivory and Typhoon? Stay tuned for next chapter!

Static: Review…crap gotta go!
