A/N:

Terutepi: You didn't offend me at all. I like to be given suggestions just as long as they aren't mean (you weren't mean don't worry.) Ha ha, the place is called Spear Pillar. I forgot too but I checked after I read your review.

Autumnchronicles: I love Rikki too! She's my favourite character.

Define-Originality: Thanks for the review!

Once Rina and Rikki had reached the Pokemon Centre they were escorted to a room at the back by Nurse Joy. Arceus was waiting in the room, along with Andy and Tizzy who were lying lifelessly on the cold hard floor. Arceus inspected the Icicle Plate carefully and finally nodded. Rina looked at her dead friends and frowned.

'Couldn't Nurse Joy have at least made them comfortable?'

"You have the Plate so you can revive them right?" Rikki asked impatiently. She was starting to feel sick at being in the same room as two dead people.

"Yes, I can. I must warn you though; I only do this once for a person. If either of you lost someone in the future I wouldn't be able to help. It may sound harsh but that's the way it works." Rikki raised an eyebrow but nodded. It did sound harsh but then again, if Arceus was to keep reviving people the world would just be... odd.

"And another thing, as soon as the process is done I will leave before they wake up. They won't recall any events leading up to their deaths and if they see me they may become suspicious."

Arceus looked at the two bodies before her and shut her eyes. Nothing happened for a few moments but a strange white light suddenly surrounded Arceus. The white light then passed onto Tizzy and then Andy. As soon as the light was beginning to fade, Rina and Rikki thanked Arceus before she left, taking the Plate with her. Silence overtook the room for a couple of minutes but then a soft moan could be heard. Andy's eyes fluttered open and looked around the room in a confused manner.

"What the...?"

"Take it easy," Nurse Joy rushed over to the boy and pressed the back of her hand against his forehead. "You've been unconscious for a few days. You had a nasty bump to your head."

"I can't remember anything that happened after I was attacked in Mt Coronet. It's like I wasn't even alive after that!" Rikki laughed nervously.

"Don't be silly! Of course you were alive."

Andy stood up and stretched. He assured Nurse Joy that he was just fine when she continued to fuss over him. He then looked down and noticed Tizzy. When he asked what had happened to her Rina told him that she was also attacked and had been unconscious too.

"Tubby... I want cake too... leave me some..." The three teenagers laughed as Tizzy began to speak in her sleep. It wasn't long before she was fully awake and was demanding answers. Rina told her what had happened after Nurse Joy had checked her over the four friends made their way to the lobby to collect their Pokemon.

"Tubby! I've missed you so much!"

Tizzy leapt at Tubby when she released him from his ball and they shared a long embrace. Andy released his Ivysaur but didn't receive any affection.

(Aw man! The geek is alive! Looks like I'll have to continue being his servant.)

"Ivysaur, I've missed you too!" Andy hugged his beloved Ivysaur while she just rolled her eyes.

(He's dumber than I thought.)

Rina and Rikki had also collected their Pokemon and Sparky was once again sitting on her trainers shoulder. Andy recalled Ivysaur and Nurse Joy walked up to him. She had a Pokeball in her hand and she was smiling at the boy.

"Your egg hatched while you were unconscious." Nurse Joy handed Andy the ball and he gaped at it.

"I didn't get to see it hatch... Did you guys see it?" He asked Rina and Rikki. They both shook their heads and told him that it must have hatched while they were out. Tizzy urged him to release the Pokemon that was to remain being called 'Happy'. Andy enlarged the ball and pressed the button in the middle. The Pokemon that emerged had a small blue body and what looked like cotton balls on either side of it.

"Awww! It's a fluffy marshmallow!" Tizzy cooed as she picked up the 'marshmallow'. She stared at it with a look of hunger on her face and she suddenly licked the small Pokemon.

"Blu!" The little Pokemon pecked Tizzy on the nose and she squealed.

"Tizzy, don't eat it!"

Andy snatched the Pokemon away from her and asked Nurse Joy what it was. She confirmed that it was called a Swablu and it was a boy. Andy smiled at Happy the Swablu and then returned him. Rikki asked her two friends if they were up for travelling or if they wanted to relax for the rest of the afternoon. Andy laughed and assured her they felt fine.

Four adults sat in a small cafe in Snowpoint City; each of them enjoying a hot chocolate. It was the perfect beverage to have while they were in the coldest part of Sinnoh. They had just met up with each other and had a lot to discuss.

"Hold on, you're telling us Terry actually killed two kids? And one of them is Tizzy?" A woman asked. The man sitting opposite her nodded and continued.

"Yes Ebony, he killed her and her boyfriend. Selene and I see Tizzy as a friend; she is a sweet girl." Selene nodded in confirmation of Saul's story. Ebony looked at her partner Karumo and they both scowled.

"We don't care much for those kids but we would never want them dead. How could Terry do such a thing?" Karumo slammed his fist down on the table in anger.

"I don't know about you two, but Saul and I didn't join this team to kill." Karumo and Ebony nodded and said they hadn't known Terry would go as far as murder. Selene took a sip of her hot chocolate but as she was about to set her mug down on the table, she gasped. Saul gave her a questioning look and she simply pointed at Ebony's hand.

"You are engaged?" Ebony blushed and looked away. She had forgotten she was still wearing her engagement ring. She wasn't planning on telling her friends until she had spoken to Terry and told him she was quitting Team Elemental.

"Truth is, Karumo proposed to me not that long ago." Selene and Saul gasped but then grinned and congratulated them. "To be honest, Karumo and I were going to quit Team Elemental. We were just waiting for the right time."

"Why are you quitting?" Saul asked.

"We feel that Team Elemental isn't right for us. I want to start a family with Ebony but we can't do that if we are apart of that team. Now that we know Terry has murdered two kids, we're definitely quitting. We were also planning on getting revenge on my dad, but we've had no luck in tracking him down." Selene nodded and said that she and Saul were also going to quit the team. The four adults remained silent as they finished their hot chocolates. A news report caught their attention and they looked at the small TV on the counter.

"An evil organisation known as Team Elemental are known for stealing others Pokemon and experimenting on them. But who would have thought that the leader would kill two teenagers? A female known as Tizzy and a male known as Andy were killed several days ago after the leader set his Blastiose on them. However, there have been recent sightings of the two teenagers in a Pokemon Centre in Celestic Town. No one knows how this is possible but the police are currently looking into it."

The four adults sat at the table stared at the TV in disbelief. Tizzy and Andy were alive? Suddenly, Karumo piped up.

"It's said that Arceus can revive people. I'm not suggesting that Arceus did revive them, but it is a possibly right?" His friends nodded and then Ebony smiled widely.

"I know how we can repay Andy. Even though we didn't kill him it would be a nice gesture, wouldn't it? Okay guys, listen up..."

Rina and Rikki were currently trailing behind Andy and Tizzy as they discussed important issues. It was Tizzy's birthday in two days and they were trying to plan a surprise party. The only problem was figuring out how to get to Kanto in time. Kanto was the home to Tizzy's parents and the two girls were eager to hold Tizzy's party there. The four teenagers were currently making their way through Mt Coronet so that they could get to route 217 which then led on to Snowpoint. Nurse Joy had been kind enough to borrow them all warmer clothes.

"Maybe Rowan can get hold of some tickets? I know there is a boat that leaves Snowpoint and goes to Kanto." Rina suggested.

"Do you think he would be able too?"

"He is the Professor, he has contacts. Hey Tizzy! Can I borrow your phone when we get outside please?" Tizzy shouted 'sure thing' and then resumed her conversation with Andy.

After a few more minutes of walking through the cave a man who looked to be in his fifties stopped them. His hair was on the verge of turning grey and he was dressed in all green. He seemed to be minding his own business and it looked like he was inspecting the walls. He kept mumbling things to himself and stroking his chin.

"Hey! Feel like a quick battle?" The man slowly turned to look at Rina who had suddenly asked for a battle. He smirked and reached for a Pokeball.

"Are you sure about that young lady?"

"Sure I am. Three Pokemon each and switching out Pokemon aren't allowed." Rikki sighed and sat down on the floor along with Tizzy and Andy.

"Why does she have to ask for a battle now? All I want to do is sleep." Rikki moaned.

Rina grabbed a Pokeball and released her Staraptor. The man grinned and threw his own Pokeball, releasing a Pokemon that made everyone gasp.

"You have a Regirock?" Andy said in disbelief. Regirock was a legendary Pokemon only found in Hoenn.

"Don't look so surprised young man. Regirock start with a Stone Edge!"

(You better watch out birdie.) Regirock fired several sharp rocks at Staraptor that stabbed her in the stomach. Staraptor cried out in pain and dropped to the floor. Rina blinked and her jaw dropped when she saw that Staraptor was knocked out after one hit.

"What the heck? Why did she go down so fast? Regirock may be a legendary Pokemon but it's not the strongest. It shouldn't have finished off Staraptor that quickly," Rina rambled on as she recalled Staraptor to her ball. The man also recalled his Regirock and took another ball off his belt, ignoring Rina's question.

"Regice, I need your assistance!" The man released a Pokemon similar to his last.

"I could use Flareon because he has the advantage, but Sparky has Iron Tail. Sparky, get in there!" Rina's Pikachu jumped onto the field and glared at the legendary ice type. The man gave Rina an angry look but she thought nothing of it.

"ICE LOLLY!" Tizzy's eyes lit up and she jumped up from her seat. Before she could rush over to the Pokemon that Tizzy thought was an ice lolly, Rikki grabbed her arm and yanked her back down.

"First you lick an innocent little Swablu and now you want to eat a Regice? Wow Tizzy, that bump on your head must have caused some major damage to your head. Maybe we should book an appointment with the doctor," Rikki said with a grin.

"Rikki, if I go without food for too long I see things," Tizzy replied with a scared look on her face.

"What kind of things?" Andy asked with a worried look.

"Everything looks like food!" Tizzy cried, gripping onto Andy's arms.

Rikki sighed and looked at Andy. "She's completely lost it."

"Iron Tail!" Sparky jumped in the air while her tail glowed. She somersaulted in the air twice before slamming her tail against Regice. The ice type didn't budge as it was hit and it looked like it hadn't felt a thing.

"Ice beam," the man ordered calmly. Regice fired an icy-cold beam at Sparky, which struck her small body.

"Chuuuuu," Sparky yelped and then fell to the floor. Just like Staraptor, Sparky had been knocked out in one hit. Rina stared at her fallen Pokemon in surprise, and then approached her. Rina took a Revive out of her bag and fed it to Sparky.

"I don't think there is any point in continuing this battle."

"How did you beat me so easily? My Pokemon aren't the strongest but they don't go down in one hit."

"Did you really expect to defeat a member of the battle frontier?" Rina stared at him in shock. She had no idea who he was; she thought he was just an ordinary trainer.

"Tell me young lady, why do you rely on your Pikachu so much?" Rina asked what he meant so he told her. "I've watched a couple of your battles against the gym leaders on TV. I saw you send out your Pikachu against a Bastiodon when you battled Byron. And in our battle you said you had a Flareon but you went with your Pikachu. You rely on type advantages in every one of your battles, don't you?"

"I guess I do sometimes..."

"And you rely on your Pikachu. Do you think your other Pokemon aren't strong enough?" Rina's friends watched her carefully, waiting for a reply. It was true what this guy was saying. Rikki and Andy had noticed it too. Tizzy not so much; she just cared about Tubby and cake.

"Okay maybe I do think Sparky is stronger and able to win battles but-" Rina stopped talking when she noticed the anger in the mans eyes.

"NO! You do NOT rely on one Pokemon! That is NOT how a trainer should act!" His voice bellowed and all four teenagers flinched at his tone. "And you FAVOUR your Pikachu! By the looks of it only your Pikachu has a nick name. I think you should trust your other Pokemon more than you do." With that the man recalled Regice and exited the cave.

The four remained silent as they continued through the cave. It was only when they exited the cave and reached route 217 the silence was broken by Andy.

"He had a point Rina," Andy said carefully.

"I know he did," Rina sighed. "By the way Tizzy, I think I should use your phone when the blizzard dies down." Tizzy shivered and nodded in agreement.

She hadn't thought about it before but what that man said was completely true. She always relied on either a type advantage or Sparky. She would have to spend more time with her other Pokemon and learn to not send out Sparky when she was losing a battle. The group of friends trekked through the snow with their teeth chattering and the blizzard pushing them backwards. They were about half way through route 217 and there was no sign of a conversation taking place any time soon.

"I like cake." Rina couldn't help but laugh at her friend's randomness. It was always Tizzy who made someone laugh or smile. How could Rina stay upset when she was around Tizzy? It just wasn't possible.

A/N: I have good news guys! My final exams are over! You know what that means don't you? More time to update! –Claps-

That battle with Brandon (I'm sure you all guessed who he was) wasn't random. There was a reason behind it: I started to think that Rina was such a Mary-Sue so I've decided to throw in a few battles over the next few chapters, some of which she will win and some she will lose. I hope it stops her being a Mary-Sue...

Team Elemental are going to be losing four members (which you already know) and that also has some significance. I can't reveal what though. Andy's egg was originally going to be a Togepi but that would have been cliché and boring. SO! On Platinum I started training a Swablu and so I decided Andy gets one too

Expect updates to be more frequent guys. Oh, and I have something to tell you all. Sinnoh Challenges will be coming to an end soon! I've had fun writing it but I have to admit, I'm getting bored of it. There will probably be another seven chapters. Maybe more.
