Author's Notes: OMG, I finally wrote it! I'm sorry it took so long here, but I usually do writing at least once a week. And truth be told, I'm actually writing my first not fanfiction, my own original story, over on dA. My dA account can be found in the link on my page.

All of my reviewers for chapter 34: I'm replying to you all at once because, no offense, but you all practically made the same comment. So thanks for the encouragement, and we'll see what happens to Sanj, when the time comes :D

BFoS: Woops, force of habbit :D

Enjoy :D

Chapter 36

'What!? Oh man, this can't be good.' I said, in shock.

'Why don't you just go after him,' Dallin asked.

'Karen told me not too leave the apartment!' I was panicking slightly.

'I'm sure that Karen told Sanj not to leave the apartment either.' As much as I didn't like it, Dallin had a point. Sanj was loose in town, and I had to find him. And besides I was a lucario, I wouldn't have much problem keeping hidden.

'That's the spirit, Nick,' Dallin exclaimed, listening in on my thoughts.

'Alright, I'll do it.' I said, smiling.

'Good luck, Nick,' Terra said, as I ran out of the room.

I was going to find him, no matter how much time it took. Either way I was going to find him normal, or I was going to find him detained by the dechippers.

I went into the elevator and fingered the buttons. Going to floor one wouldn't be the best idea, I didn't want to be seen. I pressed floor three, I was going to take a different route out of the building. The door opened and I moved silently into the hallway. I kept a careful eye for anyone around the corner.

I approached a window and slid it open.

Outside, the sky was grey with clouds, as rain softly poured down onto my fur. The streets were loaded with people, cars bustling, and people and pokemon everywhere. This was going to be difficult.

I jumped out of the building, and on to the roof below.

I felt the water under my feet as the rain soaked my fur. Having wet fur felt so weird, yet rather annoying. But I had to focus.

I looked down onto the street, and called Sanj with my mind. I couldn't see him anywhere, and my mind-calling only caught the attention of the people below. I hid just in time to prevent getting seen.

Just as soon as people stopped looking, I stopped hiding, and continued to jump roofs, calling Sanj's name at the same time.

I almost slipped multiple times, the roofs were covered in many puddles that made it hard to land. My fur was now soaked down to the very root, which made me so much heavier. I stopped for a quick second, to shake my fur like a dog would when it's wet. It felt good to be an pokemon.

I continued running and jumping along the rooftops for about thirty minutes until, I finally came to the end of row of buildings. I continued jumping without thinking, and suddenly found myself standing on the sidewalk. I looked at my surroundings. I didn't see many people, this was the edge of town.

I suddenly found myself staring at a middle-aged man, standing by a fruit stand. The stand's legs were broken, and fruit was spilled allover the sidewalk and road. The man turned around, and his face hardened with anger.

"YOU!" My fur stood on end, as he stomped towards me. "You're gonna pay for what you did." He said, with a ton of frustration in his voice.

'What I did?' The man froze, stopping a few feet in front of me. He looked around, confused. "Who said that?"

'What I did?' I repeated, and then I realized. I gasped 'Sanj! Sir, did you see a lucario go by here?'

The man stared at me, with his jaw dropped, eyes wide open, at the fact that a lucario was talking to him. 'I- He- You- It'

'Sir!?' I growled sternly to get his attention.

'OH, he- he went that way,' the man said pointing behind me. I saw his hand shaking, as he pointed. Perhaps, I was a little to stern.

'Thanks.' I waved my hand, and ran into the direction the man pointed me to. At this rate it seemed like that I would never find Sanj. This was taking foreve-

'Mmm, that was good orange.' I stopped and turned to look in a nearby alley way. Sanj was sitting against the wall, in a spot where the walls blocked the rain. He got up, 'I'm going to go steal anoth-' He halted right in front of me, staring at me in surprise. I gave him the most frustrated look I could give him. 'Nick, you got it all-'

'I... had to chase you're shadow all over town for I don't know how long. I'm soaked, and you've been up to tricks of your own, I see.' There was a long pause in the alley way. The rain kept the silence away from us, but I remained frustrated. 'I've had enough of this body. I'm cold, I'm wet, and it's caused enough trouble. You're coming with me.'

'Make me.' He said changing expressions on a dime. He suddenly took a giant leap, up towards the wall. He jumped off the walls, with perfect strides, until he was on top of the roof above. I rolled my eyes, and took a try at it.

I jumped up, feeling the g-force pull at every muscle. My feet met with the wall, and for a brief second, I was hanging in midair. I could feel the fur on my feet practically cling to the wall, giving me an optimal grip on the wall. As soon as gravity pulled me down, I strained my muscles, and shot off the wall.

With that one action, my adrenaline was pumping hard. I repeated the action on the other side of the wall, only faster. Soon I was darting up the wall faster than I could think. My body was acting for me, my mind was unable to keep up.

And before I knew it I was standing on top of the building. Sanj stood on the other building, with his arms crossed, and a smirk on his face. I was out of breath, but he stood without showing a hint of tiring.

'What, aren't you going to catch me?' He asked mockingly. I felt so angry, but it was being flushed out by the adrenaline. I jumped towards him with all my might, growling like an animal, and he simply jumped backwards, as I landed flat on my face. He turned and looked at me with the corner of his eye, still smirking. 'You're not going to catch me at that rate.' He suddenly took a powerful jump, and leapt across another alley to another building. I got up and ran after him, jumping onto the next building.

My feet were beginning to lose feeling, as he smoothly jumped from building to building. I kept behind him, as close as possible.

'You're getting tired, Nick. You better pick up the pace.' I was further enraged. I strained my muscles further to keep up with him. We ran under a tall billboard and headed for a tall building, too tall for him to jump up.

He turned his head still smirking and turned back. I thought this would be where I would corner him, but I was wrong. He continued running hard, and suddenly jumped toward the tall building. He landed hard against the building, cracking the glass beneath his feet. He slid down a few windows, and jumped up to the tall billboard. His feet scraped the paper off the billboard, until he finally took one giant leap onto the building.

I stared in shock, at his move, I didn't know if I was going to do it. When suddenly:

'What's wrong, Nick, don't think you can make it?' My anger pumped my adrenaline even harder. My teeth were clenched and my hands tightened to fists. I was angrier than I had ever been in my entire life.

Sanj chuckled. 'Hehe, I don't think you'd even make a decent lucario.' It was than, that I couldn't take it. I screamed into the air, and a strange sensation overtook my body. I had suddenly re-energized, and my adrenaline pumped above and beyond.

I jumped high, higher than Sanj did, and my feet smashed against the glass. The sound of the glass breaking rang loudly through my ears, but I kept my balance. I landed at least three windows higher than Sanj. I ran down the windows, smashing them as I went down, until I was finally at a proper lever with the billboard. I leaped off the window, shattering the glass to pieces. I slammed against the billboard readying myself for my last jump. I took one final leap of faith for the top of the building. I smashed against the windows, and ran up the wall. I launched upwards from the side of the building, and landed on the building standing face-to-face with Sanj. My heart was pumping, and my adrenaline flowed fast and hard.

Sanj smirked no longer, and turned around to run. With lightning speed, I jumped over Sanj and landed in front of him. Before he could turn around again, I grabbed his hand, and pulled him forward. While he was bent forward, I suddenly jerked back, pulling his hand down, which caused him to flip forward. His head missed the ground, but he couldn't move his feet fast enough. His back slammed on the ground. I jumped beside him, and held the spike on my hand close to his neck. I stared at him, unblinking, teeth clenched, fists tightened. I breathed through my teeth, and growled under my breath. I was angry.

Sanj collected himself, and said, 'So, Nick, do you still want to turn back into a human?'

I kept angry and hyperventilated out of exhaustion, and excitement. 'Hell, no!'

Sanj chuckled, 'Just as I thought.' There was a long pause. 'Can you get off please?' I looked at the current situation to find that I had him in a position that could kill him. I jumped off, and realized what had just happened.

'How did I do that back there? Was that instincts?'

'Nope.' I gave him a puzzled look. 'It's complicated. But you did what I wanted you too. You unleashed your anger, and you pulled it off. You will make for a decent lucario.' He stood at the edge, overlooking the large view we had. The rain poured down on us, and the calming ambience took over again.

'I'm ready to go to back to The Organization now,' Sanj said.

He started walking, but I grabbed onto his shoulder, to keep him from leaving. 'What is it,' he asked.

'Sanj, we're already there.' I said, as we stood atop The Organization headquarters.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

We stood in Karen's office, as she banged away at the keyboard.

"OK, Sanj," She said, as her words went through my head, and into Sanj's "After doing some studying, we've figured out where you should go. Are you ready to leave."

I turned to Sanj, he remained silent. Karen continued to type in the portal codes. Sanj seemed to be in a state of deep thought.

Suddenly a portal opened in the side of the room. "Ok, we're ready to go." Karen said, smiling.Sanj still remained silent.

'Well, Sanj, it was nice meeting you in all. But I'm sure you'll be happier when you get home.' There was a long pause. 'Sanj?'

He let out a deep sigh. 'I don't know if this is the right place and I don't know what I'll find there. Team Rocket ripped me away from my family, and I'll probably never see them again.' His words brought depression to the room.

'Sanj, I'm sorry, but-'

'That is why I have chosen to stay here.'

"WHAT!?" Me and Karen said in unison.

'This place is great! The weather's warm, I get tons of attention and Nick doesn't seem so bad.' He made a sarcastic smile.

'Are you sure?'

'Yes. I have made my choice, and I plan to stick to it.' I looked back to Karen, as she closed the portal. Sanj walked up to me, and wrapped his arm around me. His fur rubbed up against mine.

'Besides, what's the worst that can happen?'

Author's After-notes: I was thinking this would be just another filler, but wow, I can't believe it turned out this well XD

I tried as hard as possible not to rush, I hoped it worked out well. I can tell you that I spent so much time writing this, by the end, I was getting dizzy from being on so long.

My mind is exhausted, I'll leave it at that.
