Three days later. Three days of nonstop walking and it was starting to annoy the hell out of me. Ruka followed behind while Silver had her feelers around Ruka's arm.

"This sucks…" Ruka finally spoke.

"You don't think I know that? I didn't expect this region to have so much forest, ugh…" I said, groaning.

"Don't you have an Espeon? They are great at climbing and might be able to see something above the forest." Ruka replied.

"I do have an Espeon… But it seems pointless. These trees are way too thick and all to get a good grip…" I said.

"Why not try it at least? Don't underestimate an Espeon." She told me.

Letting out a sigh, I pulled out the Pokeball containing Espeonage. I then released him as he looked up, wagging his tail slowly.

"Espeonage… We're quite lost… And Ruka said you can climb very well. Mind getting a view above the trees and see if you find anything?" I asked.

Espeonage nodded and looked up for a few seconds before jumping up on some branches. I watched as he jumped swiftly above the trees and into the dense leaves.

Ruka and I waited for a minute or two while Espeonage was doing whatever he was doing. When we finally dropped down, he just looked at me then pointed his tail in a direction. Ruka then looked at me.

"Guess he did find something. Come on." She said before walking off to where Espeonage pointed.

I followed her while Espeonage walked next to me.

We walked for a little before we stopped in front of a broken down farm style house.

"Great. A piece of crap." I said.

"Looks quite damaged and all… But doesn't mean no one lives here." Ruka said.

"Just look at it. It looked like it has been abandoned years ago." I replied.

Ruka didn't really say anything. She just shrugged before walking up to the farm house. It honestly looked like it was about to collapse from the slightest touch. Ruka didn't mind however. She just walked up to the door and knocked. The door nearly fell by the knocks.

We waited for a bit but nothing happened. Ruka knocked a bit more but didn't really matter. No one answered and Ruka shook her head.

Ruka: Guess it is abandoned. Oh well…

She looked around for a little bit while Silver followed. However, Silver stopped and squeaked which caused Ruka to look at her. I looked at her as well.

Silver was looking at a ledge. It was falling apart. I didn't think much of it right at that moment. However, Silver lifted her feelers and grabbed onto the broken beams that stuck out. Once she got a sturdy grip, she began lifting herself up and within a few seconds, she was on the roof. She looked down and squeaked softly before walking out of view. Ruka and I looked at each other before she spoke up.

"Be careful Silver…" She said.

She didn't reply as we waited. We did hear some clattering and all. Nothing more though.

While we waited some more, we finally heard something different. Metal. Metal getting moved around. Then suddenly, a large bang which sounded like something heavy hitting the floor. Metallic. Ruka looked confused before walking around to where the noise came from. The noise appeared to have came from the front door. We watched the front as more noises came. But suddenly, the door fell forward and slammed onto the ground with quite a thud. The amount of dust that came off of it as it hit the ground was surprising. It certainly looked like this place was left years and years ago. When the dust faded, we both saw Silver standing inside. Her tail wagged happily. The thing we heard seemed to be a large crowbar. I guess it was holding the door together.

"Well then… Not sure why we're breaking in." I said.

"Neither do I… But oh well. Maybe we can find something?" Ruka asked.

"What do you plan on finding here?" I told her.

Ruka shrugged and walked in. I decided to stand outside since that place looked disgusting. It was probably filled with gross bugs or something. I. Hate. Bugs.

Other then that, I just waited outside while Ruka and Silver explored it. Mystic and Flanite just stayed in my bag. Flanite slept while Mystic looked at me.

But while we were waiting, I heard Espeonage. He wasn't near me. This really confused me as I started looking around. When I spotted Espeonage, he was growling in the direction of the forest.

"Err… Espeonage…?" I asked.

He continued to growl more.

Before I managed to touch him or get his attention, his gem glowed. I slowly stepped back and watched as the bushes and leaves were ripped apart due to him. What I saw surprised me.

A large device was seen hidden behind the bushes that Espeonage ripped apart. I looked over it. But saw it. A blinking light. My eyes widen as I yanked at Espeonage's tail. He knew something was wrong before I even took his tail and he instantly took off into the building. I kept a hold on his tail and I nearly fell over due to how forceful he was. Luckily I didn't however. He lead me inside and I saw Ruka. I didn't take a moment to think.

"Get d-"

Before finishing my command, a massive explosion was heard and a shock wave sent all of us to the ground.

The amount of force that bomb gave off ripped the house apart. And before I was able to get into cover, I was smacked against the back of the head by something sturdy. Then darkness.

I wasn't out for long as I felt Espeonage licking me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Ruka clearing some rubble before noticing me.

"Damn it." Ruka said, her voice echoing slightly.

She made her way towards me and got me to my feet as I stumbled and held my head.

"F- fuuu… T- that hurt like hell…" I slurred.

Espeonage and Ruka helped me as Silver tried clearing the way.

When we left the destroyed house, we were instantly knocked down by an attack. I inhaled sharply and looked up to notice a Nidoking who must've slammed against us since he stood right over us.

"A little overkill… But it worked, heh." A voice was heard.

Slowly looking around the Nidoking, I noticed three people just walking up like nothing happened. They were wearing that stupid Team Blitz outfit.

"G- great… Just perfect…" I said.

"Heh… I'd say we are much better then those simple members who couldn't capture one little Pancham. Pathetic…" One of them spoke to the others.

One of them walked up which I assumed was the leader.

"I heard of these two… Wonder where that other kid is. Never mind that. Deal with them so we can get back to base." The leader spoke and walked back.

The other two walked up. One held a weapon and pointed it at us. The other held what looked like a rocket launcher of some kind. We didn't dare move unless we wanted bullets in us. We just watched as the one with the launcher fired at Espeonage. It fired a net which swiftly caught him. He wiggled heavily and tried breaking free, but it was useless.

He then walked up to my bag and took it quickly.

"Where the hell is that Riolu? Only this tiny Fennekin. Whatever… It will still do…" He spoke and tied up him.

He dropped my bag and held Flanite. Once they had both of my Pokemon, they started walking away as the Nidoking stayed a bit longer before following them.

Once they were out of view, I swiftly got up and grabbed my bag. Ruka got up as well.

"Shit… What are we going to do?" Ruka asked.

"I… I have no idea… Flanite… And Espeonage… W- we need to get them back… Fast…" I replied.

"Dude, they have damn weapons. They won't hesitate to kill it seems." Ruka said.

"We have to try, alright? I… Can't leave Flanite with them… I took care of him when I found him bleeding out… Espeonage… I think he can handle himself. His ability might put up a fight…" I said.

Looking around at the destruction the bomb caused, I was just stunned. But then I finally noticed something.

"W- wait… Where is Mystic and Silver?" I asked.

Right after I said that, Silver slowly looked out from the destroyed house. She had covered herself with the wreckage. Mystic on the other hand, she managed to slip away before we got knocked down. She dropped from a tree that she hid in and walked up to me. She seemed quite sad that they took Flanite. I picked her up and sighed.

"This was so sudden… But I plan on getting them back…" I told her.

She looked down and nodded softly.

I rubbed her head slowly before putting her inside my bag.

"I think I know someone who can help…" I said.

Ruka looked at me.

"Quin…" I said.

"Err. Who?" She looked confused.

"It's someone I met in the forest. Looking around… It does seem like familiar here for some reason." I said and pulled out my HaloX.

I checked the map and I was right. Not more then ten miles away, there was the lab. I showed Ruka and she just shrugged.

"Why the hell didn't you look at the map sooner? It has GPS!" She looked somewhat pissed.

"S- sorry… I kinda forgot I had this." I said.

Ruka groaned loudly and looked to the side.

"Lets just get the hell out of here…" She said.

Nodding slowly, we started walking towards the lab.

It did take a bit, but when we did reach it, it looked like it always has been. We walked up to the doors and they opened. We walked in and I called out for Quin.

Silence for a bit, but after calling his name a few more times, a door opened and he looked out.

"Oh, hey. Didn't expect you to be here again." He said.

"W- we need help." I just said.

"Help? Sure. With what?" He asked.

"We were attacked a few miles from here… That damn Team Blitz. They took my Fennekin and Espeon…" I said.

"Seriously? Crap… I had no idea they were this close to my lab. Now I'm worried they actually spotted this place. If they attack, I won't be much of a threat…" He said.

"I think they're mostly after me… After I caused conflict with their plans. But still… I need help. I don't want them to do anything to my Pokemon." I said.

He nodded and walked to a computer and typed some stuff. He typed for a few minutes before looking at us.

"Okay, I think I can help." He said.

"Really? How?" I asked.

Quin nodded and walked to a glass container. He typed on a keypad as it soon opened. He then took out a stylish Pokeball which was pink with some glittering affect. He then opened it as a Braixen appeared. The Braixen appeared more pinkish then normal. Pink ears, paws and eyes.

"This is Vix. My special fire Pokemon." Quin said.

I remember that he mentioned he should've brought his Braixen when I saved him from that Chesnaught. I didn't expect it to be different colors though.

"Okay, Vix. I need you to help these two." Quin said.

Vix looked at me and nodded softly.

"Great. It appears her Pokemon were stolen by… A certain team we know." Quin told Vix.

Vix already seemed annoyed before grabbing the branch from her tail.

"Lets just say Vix hates Team Blitz. Before I took her in, she was being hunted by Blitz. I managed to save her before they caught her. So yeah… She's not a big fan of them." Quin told me.

I nodded as Quin gave me her Pokeball.

"This is custom made. Please don't lose it…" Quin said.

"I won't." I simply replied.

Quin rubbed Vix's head.

"Okay, she is very good at tracking. Maybe even better then a Mightyena." Quin joked.

He then motioned us to go. I looked at Vix and spoke.

"Well, um… N- nice to meet you. Can we get going?" I asked.

Vix nodded and held the branch. Ruka followed us outside and we went back to the farm house again. I just hope we can find my two Pokemon again...
