I woke up and crawled out of Anabella's arm, I saw Shaniqua and the Tranquill chattering like they were BFFS or something, while Alice was just getting up. Brute followed her and got her attention.
She looked at Brute, she looked restless and grumpy.
"What's wrong?" Brute asked lightly, Alice snarled, taking him by surprise.
"Just leave me alone, will you?!" Alice snapped, tears fell down her fur as she trotted away.
Shaniqua stopped her chat with the bird Pokemon to see Alice retreat to the corner. Shaniqua frowned and looked at me.
"This has to stop" Shaniqua said under her breath, "We all have to be together, for the sake of our survival. She needs to learn to get along with us till we find our way back home".
"Agreed" the Tranquill perched himself on Shaniqua's shoulder and they walked over to Alice. I joined them.
"What?" Alice whispered, lifting her claws and baring her teeth.
"You can't just act hostile towards everybody, we need to be together!" Shaniqua snapped, "Whatever you like it or not!".
"I can be alone if I want to" Alice snarled, "It's none of your business".
"Who's Riffin?" I blurted the two words out loud, Alice's eyes flashed with alarm.
"Wh-What d-did you say?!" Alice sounded petrified.
"I said, who's Riffin?" I asked again. Alice looked across the room with wide eyes.
"Nobody!" Alice growled, the shock disappearing from her gaze, "Leave me-".
Shaniqua grabbed Alice by the neck and pinned her on the wall.
"Answer him" Shaniqua growled.
"It's none of our concern" the Tranquill, "If she wants to die without anyone by her side, let her".
"...Fine" Shaniqua muttered, dropping Alice on the floor, "C'mon Hawkfur, let's go talk to those three".
Shaniqua and Hawkfur went over where I introduced them to Anabella, Otterpaws, and Mikey. Shaniqua and Otterpaws(even though they seemed to be total opposites) bonded quickly while Hawkfur spoke to Anabella and Mikey.
"-so them I said 'don't you *cough* agree, Gus?'" Anabella purred, Mikey snickered while Hawkfur rolled his eyes playfully.
I slept next to the five, cause you know, after being knocked out by legendary Pokemon and dealing with a split region, you'd be pretty tired.
So I rested for what seemed awhile, but once I was getting comfortable...
"YOU RAT!"
I flipped upward, who was fighting?!
I looked up to see Shaniqua and Hawkfur backing away, Anabella was watching in awe. I looked above Hawkfur's shoulder to see Otterpaws shoving Mikey against the wall and proceeding to punch him in the face.
"She's MINE!" Otterpaws screeched before landing blows to Mikey's gut, making him vomit. Mikey shoved Otterpaws off him and threw an Electro Ball at him, making him collapse.
"Stop this!" Shaniqua whispered to Anabella, "Just choose one of them!".
"This is the only way" Anabella replied, "Who am I to stop it?".
Mikey charged at Otterpaws, his fists glowing with electricity. Just when it seemed that Otterpaws was a goner, Mikey was shoved in a huge cage by one of the Nurse Joys.
"They're coming for us!" Shaniqua gasped, "Everyone, group!".
Everyone crawled into a protective circle, with Shaniqua and Hawkfur in the front, I was shoved behind when I saw Anabella's claws tear the Nurse Joy's throat.
The Nurse Joy dropped the cage and Shaniqua used Flamethrower on it, releasing Mikey. Anabella grabbed Otterpaws in her jaws.
"HURRY, LET'S GO!" Shaniqua yelled, everyone went through the open door.
A Nurse Joy attemped to stop us, but Hawkfur flew into her face and ripped her eyes out(Yes, not quite a lovely image, I know).
We exited the Pokemon Center, we were in Sandgem Town.
Pokemon in the thousands went in chaos, most of them heading in the direction of Jublife City. The only ones left were me, Shaniqua, Hawkfur, Anabella, Otterpaws, Mikey, Alice, and Brute.
The eight of us retreated to Route 201 where we hid in the bushes.
"So where do we go now?" I asked.
"I'm going to Route 219" Alice growled, "I'm going to try jumping the rocks on the ocean and see where that takes me".
"Help your-frickin-self" Shaniqua snapped, "I say we go to Verity Lakefront and try to swim to the other side where the humans will leave us alone".
"Good idea" Anabella agreed, "Who's with us".
"I'll go with you...if you don't mind" Brute ended awkwardly to Alice. Her eyes lit up.
"Really?! I mean...sure, whatever" Alice muttered, the glow in her eyes faded.
"So all of us except the Dark-type lovers" Anabella said, receiving a death glare from Alice and a blush from Brute, "Alright, then. Let's go".
We headed out, Alice and Brute took off the opposite direction. It was very quiet. Soon enough, we were at Verity Lakefront.
"OK, everyone. Let's swim" Shaniqua jumped in the water, followed by Anabella and Mikey. Hawkfur flew, carrying Otterpaw's unconscious body.
I was about to go, but then I heard the shrieks of kids.
"Wait for me, guys! I'm gonna hide!" I said before ducking into some bushes. A ten-year old boy and girl appeared.
The boy had black hair and a T-shirt and jeans, while the girl looked just like the girl character from Pokemon Black and White, only her hat was red and she wore a pink T-shirt and blue shorts.
"C'mon, Sarie!" the boy called, half-amused and half-annoyed, "Let's go catch a Pokemon!".
"But Jake!" the girl whined, "What if our parents catch us?".
"That's what she said" I whispered. Suddenly the boy turned his head.
"Did you hear something?" the boy asked the girl. Crap!
"I-"
But they were cut off by two Starly that jumped from the grass...this is just like Pokemon Diamond and Pearl!
"There's the suitcase!" the boy yelled, "Get the Poke Balls!".
The boy grabbed one and sent out Chimchar, the girl picked one up.
But the Starly took it and threw it in the lake.
The other one showed it's talons and plunged at her. The boy looked and gasped, he was too far away to save her.
I ran between the girl and the Starly and used Moonblast.
