This chapter is really... ummm... well it is very exiting. I know
the details are lacking, but I prefer my stories move quickly!


Ryan sighed and let his forehead smack against the table. Why?
He pondered, why can't she just accept somebody? Then the lights went out.
"Sorry to interrupt," said a voice, "but we have a new line of
entertainment."
Lilly stared down into the dark swirling water. Jealous... am I
jealous? Suddenly, Lilly heard several loud bangs. "Oh God!" She whispered
running back toward the party room, and the sounds she heard. Gunshots.
A large Persian backed Ryan into a corner. "Ryan Carlen, renowned
member of the Phoenix League," Rob grinned. Ryan glanced around the room,
everybody was in a similar predicament their 'pet' poke'mon unable to stand
up to the attackers. A whole pack of Team Rocket members had locked the
poke'mon, including Charlie, into cages. Where in the heck is Lilly? Ryan
thought. He didn't see her anywhere. "Put your hands where I can see them," Rob said gruffly. "Whatever you say," Ryan mumbled, letting a poke'ball
drop from his hand releasing a grinning Buzz.
Lilly ran up to the party room door. She pounded against it with her
paws, not budging it an inch. "Damn it!" She snarled, "I've got to get in!"
"Looks like we're in for a game of cat and mouse," Rob smirked.
His opponent was a Raichu, and a relatively young one at that. The Raichu
smirked back, "Wow, that really stung," he remarked sarcastically. "But I
guess that's the best a little pet poke'mon with his head up his ass can do."
Rob charged Buzz with a screech of anger. Buzz easily dodged him and gave
him a swift punch to the jaw. Buzz quickly spun around kicking Rob with both
legs. Rob snarled in anger, and lashed out slashing Buzz's cheeks.
Lilly backed up to the edge of the railing on the boat. She charged
headlong at the door ramming into it with all of her body weight. The door
groaned, denting further inwards.
Buzz knew he was in trouble. Rob had made a smart move. With his
cheeks slashed, Buzz couldn't control his electricity, making it too risky
to use any electric attacks. "Who's laughing now?" Rob said smugly advancing
toward the Raichu. Like a lightning flash, Buzz's whip like tail snapped at
Rob's eyes. Roaring in anger Rob pinned his foe with one of his massive paws,
raising the other one to strike.
A massive crash was heard as the door broke off its hinges.
An enraged roar sounded as a white blur plowed into Rob's side, knocking him
off his feet. Ryan dashed over to Buzz, who was barely conscious from the
pain of his injuries.
Lilly was a vicious site. Her fur stood on end, making her look
twice her size. Her needle like teeth were bared, and a blood chilling growl
came from her throat. Rob climbed to his feet, shrieking his rage as he
charged. Lilly sidestepped, slashing his shoulder with her fangs. Rob
whirled quickly, biting down hard on one of her tails. Hissing from the
pain Lilly darted downward, biting Rob's front right paw as hard as she
could. There was a sickening crack as the bones in his paw snapped under
the pressure. Rob was forced to let go as he screamed in pain. Lilly ran
over in front of Ryan to protect him. Wait a minute, where's the rat? Rob
thought. "Hey, over here shithole!" Hollered Buzz. Rob's jaw dropped as
he saw what had happened. While he was distracted fighting Lilly, Buzz had
released the caged poke'mon. Rob and the Rockets were completely outnumbered
by several angry poke'mon, Charlie among them. "You'll be seeing me again,
Lilly," Rob said coldly, "believe me you will." The lights blinked out,
and when the power was restored both Rob and the Rockets had disappeared.


Author's Note: Oooooo!!!! Story is exiting so far, yes? I could end the
chapter here, but I'm not going to. Why?, you may ask. Well... this isn't a
romance for nothing! In the second part of this chapter, very important
things happen which ALTER THE COURSE OF THE STORY!!!


Buzz winced as Sara finished stitching up his cheek. "Why couldn't
you give me some damn painkillers?" "You're too weak, and you know it!"
Snapped Sara.
Lilly sat staring at her mangled tail. It was bandaged, but still
hurt like heck. After Charlie had returned to the party, she had realized
something. She had been feeling a certain something lately. Whenever Ryan
smiled at her, scratched her in the special spot behind her ears, and when
he said goodnight right before they went to sleep. At that moment she
realized the something she was feeling was love. She had panicked when she
heard the gunshots, that he might have been hurt.
Ryan walked over and sat down next to her. "You were very brave you
know," he said gently, lifting up her chin. "Nah," she muttered thanking
God that nobody could see her blush under her fur. "That Persian would have
killed Buzz if you had been a second later," Ryan said seriously. "Dammit,
now I owe you a favor don't I," Buzz mumbled. "Ryan," Lilly said nervously
"could I talk to you, alone?"
"What is this about Lil?" Ryan asked as they leaned against the
ships railing. "This is somewhat... ummm... awkward for me to say," Lilly
said quietly. Ryan was a little bit shocked, Lilly was never nervous and if
she ever had been she didn't show it. "Ryan I... I believe that... well,
we've known each other for a long time and, well I've grown rather...
ummm... attached to you I suppose. In short, what I mean is that I... I
love you," she said quietly. "Lilly," Said Ryan smiling "I love you too,
your like a sister to me." Lilly jumped away like she had been slapped.
"I... I... I have to go!" Lilly sobbed as she turned and ran down a flight
of stairs towards the lower decks. "Lilly!" Ryan yelled running after her.
Ryan knew something was wrong Lilly never cried, ever. She was much
faster then he was and he could barely keep up. What did I do? He thought.
Lilly finally collapsed against the rail of the lower deck, sobbing
uncontrollably. She stared down into the churning black water. If he can not
love me, no one can.
As Ryan caught up with Lilly, he watched in horror as she teetered
at the top of the railing. "Lilly!" He screamed. He ran towards her just as
she started to fall.
A small creature floated along on the breeze, even though it had no
wings. Its long tail streamed out behind it, as it played among the
nighttime clouds. The creature sensed a being that was grieving, and after
reading its mind sensed the drastic measure it was about to take.
"My daughter," it whispered in her mind. "Your wish is granted."


Don't worry! I won't leave all of you hanging for long!
I'll hurry up with the next part! What was Lilly's wish anyway... hee hee hee!
Bet you can't guess what "The Creature" was...
