Training and things like that went on for the next few days. The next day would be the day we fight back. The day was warm, but a cold wind
blew. I had a bad feeling about the next day. "Well, let's train a little." I said. We went to the room where we could train and we trained. It was
early in the day, but was about noon when we were finished training. We were now stronger, and could defend ourselves easily. "Let's go over
our plan one more time for today." I said. "One, we get in, two, we will not split apart, three, we go to a different exit and help the others, four,
we knock out more outlaws, and five, we head to the head outlaw rooms." They recited. "Good. We need to make sure we follow it. Nobody
splits off even if somebody is knocked out or gets killed." I said. They nodded their heads in understanding. "You may be young, but you sure
are a good leader." Sentret said. "Yeah, I've been through a lot. I've made new friends, and have almost died a few times. I've been
traumatized and smacked around, and have been poisoned." I said. "What now?" Shuppet asked. "Well, I guess we should rest for a bit." I said.
We sat and rested, watching the others train. "Train, remember when we made the Pokémon train?" I said. "Yeah, it was a few, long and hard
days ago." Shuckle said. "Yeah, even if I don't make it through this mission, keep going and never give up." I said. "Okay." they said with a
nod. "I heard you know aura sphere. That should help us a bit." Lillipup said. "Yeah, I know aura sphere. It runs in my family. Me being the only
direct descendant of my grandpa. You would know him as the original leader of team Poképals." I said. "Well, it's lunch now, and most Pokémon
would have eaten by now, but we haven't. What do you think, should we eat?" I asked. "You're the leader." They all said. I laughed and said
"True, but a god leader always gets his followers opinions." I said. They all laughed a little. "Sure, let's get something to eat." I said. We headed
to the lunch room. "Well, lets eat." I said. We took a few apples and berries and gnawed on them. I belched and said "Excuse me." Everyone
laughed a little. "You may not be old, and you may have been through a lot, but you still have a sort of innocence around you." Poliwag said.
"Yeah. That's the joy of being as young as I am, no matter what you do, you never seem to get into very much trouble with the older
Pokémon." I admitted. " They all laughed and one said "The only difference between you and normal kids is that most kids are gullible, you
aren't." "I guess that's true." I said. "You guess?" They said. We all started laughing. "This is the happiest anyone has ever been. I haven't
heard a Pokémon laugh besides myself in a long time." I thought. The thought made me sad, but I was still happy enough hearing Pokémon
laugh.

I skipped a few days because it would be repetitive. Review on how you think it's going. The next chapter will be heading off and the chapters
after that will be the final battles. I hope you enjoy this. See you next chapter! 1:44 (At the time I am typing this), 10/13/13 I need to add a quick note. This
fiction will possibly reach 35 chapters long, but that's not what I need to say. Y(y)amato2706 will publish an updated version, different, written different,
however the characters will remain. It should be up after I publish the final chapter. I just (and I mean as I am typing this sentence) came up with an idea. An
epilogue, to explain what happened at the end. I had an idea for the ending, but this would make it much more understandable, and it would give way to a
possible sequel. (Which I would let anyone write if they ask and they are a good enough writer to not ruin the characters and how they react and behave.)
When this is finished, check out yamato's update. It makes me proud that somebody would take the time to make an updated version, it also tells me how
much I can become a better writer. (I have majorly improved since my first multi-chapter fiction to here, I wouldn't read it for fun, but to bring memories back
from when I wrote it. Yeah, it has a lot of typos and an odd plot line. My second longest fiction, a champion's tale, has a Marty Sam (Male Mary Sue) character as
the main protagonist. I certainly have gotten better.) If you read this, please read yamato2706's version when it is up. It has a better back story. (He sent me
some of it through PM) I don't know if he'll have a better character development, because from what I read, the characters are going to have the same
personalities as mine, and likely will have the same amount of character development, not more, or less. Man, this short note turned into a long one.
Remember, yamato2706, no capital letters. This last note is a shorter one. This chapter was here to remind you that though he may be battle hardened, combat
trained and combat ready, he still is a kid on the inside, no matter what he looks like on the outside. Sometimes the reader forgets the age and vulnerability of
the protagonist, and that's why authors add in things like this. A good example would the Alex Rider series. The author (I can't remember his name) adds in
parts that shows that though he is trained in many different things, there are people who are stronger than him. (SPOILERS AHEAD! Don't read if you
haven't read the books...) It shows best when Alex (Spoilers here) gets shot in the end of one of the books. (End of spoilers) It reminds the audience that
though he may have been through a lot, he isn't invincible, just lucky. This reason, to show that "Kid" is still only a kid, is the basis of this chapter. The only
reason I explained it to everyone is because only professional authors might get what the message of this chapter is. I am not professional, but we all have read
a story or played a game with a child as the main character. What's always in those? A moment expressing his actual age and vulnerability, even if he is strong
or battle hardened or both. It's not cliché, but good writing. Wow, this author's note is the longest one I have ever written. It may double the size of the fiction.
It might be longer than the chapter! It is longer than the chapter, really, extremely weird.
