Author's Note: I've decided that I really need to get free time to write this fic. I'm developing a very bad habit from waiting. In other news: Chapter 7! I've gotten to chapter 7 and people are still reading! Be aware, my Internet might get shut off due to the lack of determination my mother has to get a job. AND I found out that when I post it, fanfiction.net is putting extra spaces in! By the way, this chapter's for a fan that had contacted me on my MSN. On with the fic! ~ Laserlight

"How is it possible for a human to use a pokemon attack?!" Eusine thought. He was riding his hover bike through route 36 and nearing the National park. At first, Eusine had thought that the girl carried a TM with reflect and gave it to Suicune. Kadabra read his thoughts and told him that the girl herself used the attack. Before he got to ask another question, Kadabra spotted the attack coming in less than a minute and suggested that he should leave.
"Oh well. I guess I'll just have to make her see my way." He confirmed. Balancing the vehicle with one hand, he pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? This is Eusine. I got a plan."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Suicune jumped across a small boulder and almost tripped on the one after. He was getting tired after running. Angela told him to run as fast as he could away from the spot. She took note of his tiredness.
"I think we're far enough now. Why don't you slow down?"
Suicune slowed down, but still moved fast. Angela sighed in defeat and checked the compass. It pointed south and slightly to the west. She tried to pinpoint where they were from the map she had seen in her house by memory. South from Ecruteak is Azalea. Beside Azalea was... Trees came into view and the sunlight was blocked from the dense foliage.
"Crap! Err, Suicune? You might want to stop." She hastily remarked. The legendary dog did as he was told and let his companion off. His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground. Angela kneeled in front of him.
"Suicune! Are you ok?"
"I'm...just tired...that's all." He replied hoarsely. She gave another look of concern before checking out the area.
"We're in the infamous Ilex forest. I've heard that many ghost pokemon live here and create illusions for people who don't have a hoothoot. I'm gonna go look around, ok?"
He gave his partner a small nod before she left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Terror circled in the air impatiently for his pal to finish searching the area. He, being the energetic of the three haunters, needed to do something. Fast. Whenever he got bored, he always ended up thinking. And to his opinion, thinking was NOT an option.
He glanced at Regret, the youngest of the bunch, who was watching Fright perform his psychic search. Regret was naïve when it came to decision-making. What else would he expect from a new illusionist? Nice kid though.
Fright was a patient pokemon. Actually, Terror had never met a haunter who was serious until he met Fright. It almost scared him how much Fright talked like a sensible pokemon. But, aside from his bad characteristics, Fright was a pretty good haunter if you ever needed advice.
"Ya ready yet?"
"Just wait a minute!"
"Can I come too?"
"Sure. Watch a pro at work! Just wait until Fright is done here."
The ghost pokemon waited until their haunter friend completed his task. Fright turned and fled to the South.
"Looks like Fright found another one!"
Terror and Regret swiftly chased their friend through the forest. Fright had stopped and motioned the others to look down.
"There's another human. Your turn Terror."
Terror glanced down to find a scrawny girl with dark brown hair. She looked like she was searching the area. Her clothes looked that of a trainer and he guessed she was out to catch some of his kind.
"Alright, let's see what we have here!" He closed his eyes in concentration and started his search. Sifting through her mind, he found an image of an Aipom with a strange device in his hands. The Aipom threw it at an incoming Murkrow. The device exploded and the Murkrow got fried. Terror jerked his eyes open in surprise.
"Whoa! Now THAT was weird! Take a look fellas! Our frightee has an odd sense of imagination!" He mused as he projected the image to their minds. His "brothers" had the same expression.
"That is just plain creepy. Let's use it!" Regret exclaimed. Before anyone could reply, Regret shapeshifted them into Aipoms.
"What are we gonna use for the thing he threw?" Fright inquired. Being an Aipom was not his idea of being scary.
"We can use shadow ball! Now let's go!" With a cackle, Terror jumped to the ground.
Angela heard feet shuffling behind her and turned around. An Aipom was slowly walking towards her.
"Hello. Do-" She was cut short when the Aipom pulled out a napalm and chucked it at her. She barley dodged the explosive before it blew up.
"What the hell!? I thought Napalm the Aipom was only a videogame!" She exclaimed. Angela hid behind a large boulder just as her attacker threw the napalm. Part of the boulder was incinerated in the blast. Angela gulped and started running.
"Guess not!"
Her running was cut short by another napalm exploding in her path. The aipom bypassed her without knowing! She looked back to meet the eyes of another one.
"How many of you guys are there?!" She shrieked. Her reply was this: One more aipom jumped down from the trees to her right.
"More than you think, sweetie!" The one in front cackled.
She gave him an annoyed expression. "And what's THAT supposed to mean?"
The three "aipoms" blinked.
"Did she...just reply?" Went through their minds.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Suicune wearily ran through the forest. It didn't comfort him knowing that Angela was out somewhere in the forest while exploding noises ensued. He slowed down to catch his breath.
"What's wrong with me?" He thought. "Running wasn't energy consuming before. Why is it a problem now?" He shook off his thoughts and continued searching.
It didn't take long. Angela seemed fine, with the exception of three haunters around her. He let out a low growl that Angela heard.
"Suicune!"
She quickly ran to his side. The "aipoms" made a startled face.
"Suicune?"
"These three aipoms chased me around through the forest with explosives!"
The three "Aipoms" gave her confused glances. "Aipoms?"
"Regret, I think you forgot to shapeshift back." Suicune replied.
"Oops! Forgot about that. Hehe." The other two sweatdropped while Regret changed them back into haunters. Suicune let out a small laugh before continuing.
"I see that you aren't slacking off. How is everyone?"
"Everyone seems to be fine. With the exception of the hoothoots that is." Fright replied.
"You know them?" Angela asked. The legendary dog nodded.
"I have a friend who lives in the forest. The haunters provide a sense of security for him. I met these three last time I visited him."
Fright gave Suicune a skeptical glance. "Can she understand you?"
Angela answered first. "Yes I can understand him. And I can understand you too."
"Hey now, let me put my two cents in." Terror stated. "Our legendary dog Suicune is a regular social outcast for humans. What's he doing with one?"
Both sighed before saying "long story". The haunter trio laughed as Angela and Suicune sweatdropped.
"We have the time to listen. Come on, tell us." Regret implied. Angela shook her head.
"Unfortunately, we don't. We need to get to the Lake of Rage quick. Can you show us the way out of the forest?"
Terror, Fright, and Regret nodded and motioned them to follow.
"I warn you, my anti-social friend," Terror replied. "The only way we can get you out is by the city entrance of Azalea. But your human friend will have to go through the gate."
"Why?"
Fright cut in. "They have people who search for what you humans call criminals. They have motion sensors to determine who is trying to get by without going through the gate. A pokemon is able to pass through."
"Great. Leave it to the damn criminals to mess everything up."
"Hey, what should we call you?"
"My name is Angela."
"Angela," Regret repeated. "I was wondering, why were you thinking of aipoms blowing up murkrows with a ball thing?"
"You guys can read minds?"
"Nope! Only I can!" Terror answered.
"Oh. Well, it's called Napalm the Aipom. It's about an aipom with a reputation of throwing napalms, an explosive thing, at his enemies. You see, the murkrows stole his girlfriend and he fights the murkrows to get her back. It's a game we play for fun"
"Like I said," Terror responded. "Humans have an odd sense of imagination."
The group stopped a few yards in front of the gate. Fright Pointed to one side.
"That's where Suicune will have to go to get out. If I'm right, there will be a beach along the right side and a cliff north from where you'll enter. On your left will be a strip of the woods that the humans hadn't cut down. If you go through the woods you'll be in Azalea city. Angela will have to meet you either in the woods or the city as from what we recently heard, they had put motion sensors along the beach."
"Thanks for your help guys." Angela said. She and Suicune headed for the gate.
Angela stepped inside the building. A few people were scattered around. One police officer with blue hair and eyes came up to her.
"May I see your license please?" She asked. Angela handed her the pokedex and sat in a chair. Two young adults entered through the opposite side of the gate. One had blonde hair with a mustache while the other was slightly shorter and had red, spiked hair. The latter of them was talking on a cell phone.
"Search everywhere but the city for the girl and Suicune. Got it. Uh, sir? May I make a suggestion? Shouldn't we look in the city too?"
He immediately pulled the phone away from his ear from the response he got. Angela could hear a few words like "idiot" and "the boss" from the receiver. The officer gave her pokedex back and she quickly made for the exit.
Once outside, she darted towards the woods and met Suicune.
"Eusine's men are searching the area. We have to hide!"
"Where can we hide? If they are here, we should run."
"They probably will catch us. Two of them came into the gate already. The only place we have to hide is the city."
