When I awoke later I was dizzy and couldn't make out much of anything. I could only see colors. No shapes what-so-ever. After a minute my sight started to come back. I saw a bright light overhead. The room looked to be all metal. The first thought to come to mind was something about how sci-fi this was. Once my vision was all back I took it back, the room was really dull, although there were a lot of computers and other machines. I tried to move my arm to my face to block the really bright light light, but I couldn't. My arm couldn't move much at all. When I looked, I was in a steel chair, with my legs strapped to the legs, and my arms to the armrests. Then I heard a slightly deep voice.

"Why did you do it?" The voice asked.

"Where am I and why am I strapped to this chair?" I asked in response.

"You idiot!" The voice yelled. "You were arrested."

"Why was I arrested?" I asked again.

"Enough with the stupid questions!" The voice yelled once again. Once my vision adjusted to the light a little better, I noticed that the voice appeared to be coming from a man.

"Now, answer my question you trash! Tell me why you tried to murder your Pokemon. Why would you even think of that? What did she ever do to you?" The man asked.

"She did nothing to me and I did nothing to her." I answered defensively. "We were on our way to Falarbor and went through the desert when we got attacked by a Cacnea. About half an hour after the battle she collapsed. So I ran to the Pokemon Center to get her help and you people took her from me."

"Your going to stay in here until you tell us what we want to hear." The man said as he got up to leave.

I had given most of my Pokemon to Joy, but not my Swampert. I felt that I should keep one, since the situation seemed weird. So it looks like I made the right choice.

Once the man left, I just sighed in both sadness and relief. The sadness, due to the fact that I have no clue where I am, where Kirlia and the others are, and how to get to them. The relief, due to how unbelievably stupid these people were. How are you going to arrest someone, but not search them, at all? Looking down at my belt I can see a small bump under the side of my shirt. That was Swampert's Pokeball. If I could, I'd probably face palm at this sheer stupidity.

After they had locked my door, I heard two more steel doors close.

"Wow they must really want to keep me in here." I said to myself. "Oh I better not start answering myself, that's where the issues start. Oh no, I'm self aware about it, I should get my self checked out."

With that I couldn't help but start laughing. Sure, this really isn't the time to be laughing, but what the heck. It'll help time pass.

Once I calmed down I started to think. I thought about everything that happened recently. From what that Cacnea spat, to types, and why I got arrested, to why they thought I did what they thought I did. After about what I assume was an hour of thinking, my door opened back up and a different man came in and sat down.

"So..." The man started. "I heard that you won't talk."

"I wasn't asked anything I could answer." I replied.

"How's that?" He asked.

"I was asked why I poisoned her, but I didn't" I said.

"Well that's really interesting." The man said. "That's not what the report says."

"Okay, sir." I started. "Do you mind if I ask a few things?"

"Go ahead." He replied amused.

"The Pokemon, Cacnea, are there any attacks they can know where they might spit something out at the opponent?" I asked.

"Um, Toxic." He said sounding annoyed at the question.

"Okay that confirms my suspicions." I said. "But what type is that move?"

"Poison." He replied.

"And what is Kirlia's typing?" I asked.

"Psychic." He answered.

"Okay and what else?" I asked.

"Nothing, they are pure Psychic." He said.

"Wrong." I said. They are part Fairy which is weak to Poison."

"What does that have to do with anything?" He asked back.

"Isn't it possible that when Toxic poisons and enemy that is weak to it, it could do more damage and look more severe?" I asked.

"Also, the Kirlia who had no wounds or punctures in the skin, claimed that I didn't do anything." I said. "So, wouldn't that make it possible, that I didn't do it, and that it really was a Cacnea?"

The man just stared blankly for a few minutes.

"I'll be back" Was all he said as he got up to leave.

About 10 minutes after he left, he came back with the first guy and someone else.

"I just spoke to the Nurse Joy in our City." He said. "She said that what you explains sounds exactly like Toxic. We also spoke to the men who picked you up. They admitted that your Kirlia said that you didn't do anything. A Pokemon who thrives off of their trainer's emotions wouldn't lie about something like that."

"So what does that all mean?" I asked.

"It means that your free to go." The first man said as he came over to unstrap me.

"Man that feels good." I said swinging my arms a little. "Those straps were really uncomfortable."

"That's kind of the point." The second man said. "It gets you to talk, normally."

With that they led me outside, gave me my bag, and I went on my way. I made a stop across the street, at the Pokemon Center first and Grabbed the Pokemon I had stored. They were Fletchling, Vibrava, and although I'm irritated at it, Cacnea. I can't stay mad at it for defending itself, but what ever. Then I went over to Nurse Joy.

"Could you tell me what town I'm in?" I asked.

"Sure, you're in Lumiose City." She replied.

"Huh, never heard of it." I said. "Now for the dumb one, what region is this?"

"We are in the Kalos region." She told me.

"Wow, okay." I started, trying to process this. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." She replied with the slightest bow.

With that, I headed off. I finally had a chance to look around. This city is enormous. I told Kirlia that there were bigger ones. To bad she's not here to see it. I started to look around the city for any signs saying where an airport might be. But, there weren't any.

-Nurse Joy PoV- -Fallarbor Town-

"I guess he was a new trainer." I thought to myself. "Most trainers try to get six Pokemon with them. But I'm glad we could save these five."

"Chansey go put these Pokeballs in the van we'll take them to the Police station so they can decide what to do with them." I told him. "I'm going to check on that Kirlia and see what it's up to."

I got to the room she was in. It was an outdoor kind of room. Although it was more of a courtyard. The walls of the building surrounded the courtyard while a tinted glass ceiling covered it. The tint was to prevent the Pokemon from over heating. Kirlia was over by the pond near the center of the yard. It looked like she was building something. It started with a moss covered rock. Then she just started adding on to it. She added fat arms and stubby legs as well as other things. In the end it looked like a Cacnea. Then she started to attack it.

"Kirlia can you come here?" I asked.

She looked at me then went back to what she was doing.

"Kirlia come on it's time for a checkup to make sure the poison is gone for good." I tried again

This time I was ignored completely. So I took out the Pokeball and recalled her to it so I could get her taken care of. Then the phone rang.

"Hello Jenny we've been expecting your call." I said after realizing who called. "What's the news on what we're doing with them.

"We found a trainer practice program in Rustboro where we will send them." Jenny replied. "It's one of the programs where kids an learn how to battle and get closer to Pokemon. Once you bring them to us, we'll take it from there."

"That sounds good." I said relieved.

"So Joy, when can we expect them." Jenny asked.

"It sounds like they will be in good hands there so I'll bring them by tomorrow and let you do your thing." "I told her.

"Sounds good and see you then." Jenny replied before hanging up.

-Back to Tony-

I still wasn't able to find a sign directing me to an airport, so I instead went through a gate that said route 8. Once I was through I saw a group of people. They looked like they were trying to figure something out. Against my better judgement, I went over to see.

"Hello my name is Tony, whats up?" I said trying to be friendly while hoping that maybe they would tell me where the airport might be.

"Hey I'm Calem." The taller boy started. "These are my friends Tierno, Trevor, Shauna and Serena. Right now Shauna Serena and I are trying to figure out who is the best. Could you help us with that?"

"I think the best bet would be battling each other." I said.

"Yeah but then our Pokemon will get tired." Shauna said. "Are you sure you don't have a way to help?"

"I would stay and help think but I was separated from my Pokemon and I'm trying to find my way back to them." I said

"Do you know where they are?" Serena asked.

"Serena is it?" I asked to be sure. "They are in Hoenn. Do any of you know where the airport is?"

"Yeah I know. I can take you there." Serena said happily.

"That would be a great help." I said.

"What about the rest of you?" I asked.

"We are going to keep going the other way." Calem said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yeah." He replied.

"Okay, thank you and see ya around." I said.

So Serena decided to tag along with me. I think that it might have been a bad idea though. After we walked in silence for about an hour, Serena spoke up.

"Hey Tony, how did you get so far away from your Pokemon?" She asked.

I told her the story of what had happened and how I got here and how I got to finding her and her friends.

"Oh I didn't know that things like that could happen." She said, feeling sorry for asking.

"Neither did I until the other day." I replied. "About how far is the airport from here?"

" We have probably three days left." She told me.

"Wow!" I replied in shock. "That far?"

"Yep." She told me.

I could tell that this would be tough finding my Pokemon. It would be tiring too. based on the length of time.

I was challenged to battle after battle each day. The battles were a little tough for the newer Pokemon, but for Swampert they were all a piece of cake. With every win he as well as the others got stronger. Also, on the second day, Serena started acting weird towards me. She changed from the day when we met. She is really cheery and agrees with me a lot. I knew exactly what this was. She liked me.

"So, Tony, how do you like Kalos so far?" Serena asked.

"Well, it actually looks really nice, and the air tastes good here." I told her.

"What do you mean by tastes good?" She asked.

"Back in Hoenn, there is an active volcano, and if your too close, when ever you breathe, you can taste the soot." I told her.

"Eww, that's gross." She replied.

"Yeah, tell me about it." I laughed. How about we eat lunch here?

"Sure." Serena agreed.

So I set down a sheet to sit on. Then, I set out some bowls. I set out six then realized that I only had four of my Pokemon with me. Serena laughed a little then set out two bowls of her own. We then proceeded to let our Pokemon out. Serena had a Fennekin and a Pancham. They were both kind a cute.

"So, you said that your Pokemon were taken." Serena said as I nodded my head. "So, how do you have these Pokemon?" She asked.

"Cacnea, Vibrava and Fletchling were in my PC." I told her. "And I never gave up Swampert. Surprisingly enough, they didn't search me."

The thought made me laugh again.

"I can't believe that." She said. "Isn't that part of their job?"

"I thought it was too." I said. "But, I guess not."

I guess I started spacing out for a little. After was I assume was only a few minutes Serena got my attention.

"Hey, Tony, are you alright?" Serena asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" I questioned.

"You were acting a little weird." She replied.

"Oh, I was just thinking." I told her.

"About what?" She asked me again.

"My Pokemon." I replied. "Seeing your Fennekin reminded me of my Braixen.

"Oh, your starter?" Serena asked.

"No i found her on an island after some Pokemon who I assume were her friends betrayed her." I explained.

"Sounds bad." She said being obvious.

"Yeah, long story short though, she likes my Luxray,had no friends, I captured her." I said.

"Fletch, Fletch!" Said a happy looking bird now looking at me.

"Good to have you back too." I told him, which made him give a happy chirp. "And you two, it's time to see what you can do." I told Vibrava and Cacnea.

"Well you get along well." Serena chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess so." I laughed back.

At that, everyone had finished eating so we packed up and continued on our way. The day was kind of interesting. A lot of challengers seemed interested in my Vibrava. Apparently that weren't very common in Kalos. Serena seemed interested in her too.

"Your Vibrava seems like a born battler." Serena said as we were walking.

"Yeah she's pretty strong." I said. "I'm pretty surprised myself. I used my Kirlia to battle her, and Kirlia had a major advantage, so it was kinda easy."

"Oh, okay." She said.

We looked up at the sky and it was starting to get dark. So we decided to go to sleep. I set up my tent and put my sleeping bag in. Then I crawled in. I saw a figure sitting outside my tent. So I checked to see what Serena was doing.

"Aren't you going to get ready?" I asked.

"I uhh, don't have a tent." She said looking embarrassed. "Normally I shared with Shauna."

"Oh, that's kind of odd." I chuckled a little. "I know what your going to ask next, so come on in."

Her face turned bright red. Not a pinkish tint of red, but regular red like the top of a Pokeball red. It was funny but kinda cute at the same time. But, either way, she still climbed in, set up her bag, and pushed as far to the side as she could. She looked really nervous.

"Hey." I said.

"Yeah!" She jumped.

"Calm down a little." I told her. "There's no need to be so scared. I won't do anything. I have a girlfriend."

"Wait you do?" She asked.

"Yeah, I do." I said. "Why?"

"I didn't know." She said. "A good looking guy like you would have a girlfriend."

"Oh okay." I said chuckling.

"Did I just say that out loud?" She asked.

"Yep, you definitely did." I said.

Again her face turned bright red. Then she slowly turned away from me and laid down. She had had enough and was done with the day. I got a good laugh at that before I laid down myself.

"Good night." I said not expecting a response, but still wishing i could get one from Kirlia.
