A/N: Konnichiwa minna-san!! (I thought that "Hi everybody" was getting boring. ^^; This means "Good afternoon, everyone" in Japanese. Yes, it is around afternoon as I write this ^^) I am supposed to be doing my homework..but anyway. -_- Thanks for the reviews!! ^^ The Pichus in 'The Apple Corp' were soooo kawaii (cute in Jap)!! ^^ Welp, on with the story!!
Disclaimer: Huh. No one volunteered to do this. *Not that I expected anyone to.* Well, I'll just use a character from my fic then. *Plucks Lionel out*
Lionel: *scowls* What?
Me: Do the disclaimer.
Lionel: *scowls even more* Why should I?
Me: Cuz I'm the author here and I command you to do so.
Lionel: That doesn't mean that I'll do it. I don't take orders from any Pokemon, except maybe mine.
Me: Do it!!
Lionel: *smirks* Make me.
Me: *smirks back* That will be my pleasure. *points the Espeon Stick Of Control at Lionel* Now, do the disclaimer.
Lionel: *in a monotone* Dawn the Espeon does not own Pokemon. She owns nothing remotely Pokemon except her fics and her Pokemon Crystal cartridge.
Me: ^~^ I love Pokemon Crystal!! *cackles then unpoints the ESOC, and immediately Teleports away*
Lionel: Wha-What? *looks around dazedly* Isn't it time for the next chapter? *wanders off*

***At the same time Suicune goes off...***
"There you go!" Carol murmured to the Rattata, which she had found in the forest with an injured leg (the Rattata, not the forest ^^ lolz ). She had bandaged the leg with a special kind of Pokemon bandage, which allowed the person who put it on to keep track of how the injury was healing by a special transmitter that came with the package. While the injury was still healing, the bandage gave off a scent that made the Pokemon ignore it, so that it would not gnaw it off. When the person thought that the injury was healed enough not to need the bandage, he or she would press a button on the transmitter, which would send a signal to the electronic thingy embedded in the bandage, causing it to release the pin holding the bandage in place. That way, wild Pokemon did not need to stay too long with those caring for them. It was also useful for Pokemon liable to bite humans.
The Rattata simply chattered at her, baring his teeth, and ran off when Carol released her hold on it. She watched the small transmitter for a moment, then stuffed it into the many pockets of her blue jacket and stood up.
Kris, seeing that Carol had finally finished bandaging the Rattata, turned to Lionel. "Well?" She inquired.
Lionel simply stared back. Silver had started to groom himself, sensing his master's mood and knowing that it would be quite a long time before they moved off again.
"Are we going yet?" Kris exploded finally, impatient to get to Goldenrod City where she could heal her Pokemon properly. Although she had done quite a good job healing them up with some Potions, but they weren't enough.
"I agreed to lead you out of the forest, not to lead you to Goldenrod," he stated calmly. Silver licked his paws, then started to clean his face meticulously.
"Well, then, why are you still here if you're not going to lead us?" Kris spat. (Did I mention that she had a quick temper? ^_~)
He shrugged indifferently. "I don't know." Silver licked his flank, combing his fur into place with his rough tongue. (Think cat. ^^)
"C'mon, Kris," Carol called worriedly. She recognized the start of what could be a very nasty fight. "If he's not going to lead us, then we better get going now. It's still quite a ways to Goldenrod. We have to hurry if we want to get there by early evening." It was already late afternoon, around 3 or 4, judging by the position of the sun, something they learnt as a 'survivor' skill in the classes they had to attend before getting approved for their Pokemon license.
"Fine," Kris said huffily, stomping after Carol. Carol heaved a sigh of relief, and continued walking down the path. Kris picked up her PokeGear from where it was hanging from a fairly thick, green coloured plastic string on her neck and activated the Johto Map card. After incomprehensively staring at it for a few moments, she muttered, "I can do this," and started to walk forward confidently. Not knowing that Kris, in fact, could not read maps, the unfortunate Carol followed behind her.
Lionel watched them from the shadow of the tree until they went around the bend and passed out of sight. Sighing, he sat down on a low boulder beside Silver, who was trying in vain to wash between his ears. "She can't read maps," he muttered to Silver. Silver paused in his efforts and glanced at his master, seeming to say, "How do you know that?" and went back to trying to wash between his ears, nearly gouging out his eye in the process.
"Don't' I bathe you enough?" Lionel asked irritably. "It's so obvious that she can't read maps. One glance at her face when she activated the Johto Map card was enough." Silver finally gave up, deciding that it was too damaging to his pride to be seen twisting around like an Eevee pup trying to scratch an out-of-reach itch. He shook himself and shrugged, as it to say, "It's your choice."
Lionel sighed again, and stood up. "I don't want to, but there seems to be some sort of nagging voice at the back of my head that says I should." He brushed off a Pidgey feather from his shoulder and ran his fingers through his short hair, checking for leaves or other, more unpleasant stuff that might have dropped into his hair while he was under the tree. "I guess we'd better get going."
¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^
"Phew," Suicune sighed in relief.
"What happened?" Raikou and Entei chorused. Suicune had been concentrating hard on something in the past few minutes, and had been in some sort of trance.
"I just convinced the Dark One to follow the Chosen One and the Nurturer. For some reason, they separated just now." Suicune replied. She looked tired. "You shouldn't have chosen a clearing so far from where they are," she looked at Entei and Raikou accusingly. "You know it's hard to talk to a mind that's far away."
"He chose this place," Both of them said in unison, then glared at each other.
"Stop that," Suicune said sharply. "You're sounding like some kind of broken radio or robot."
"Sorry," they apologized at the same time, then looked at each other and howled in laughter.
"Weirdos," Suicune eyed them warily, backing away. "I'm going to soak."
"Okay," they replied simultaneously, then continued to holler with laughter.
Suicune shook her head and rolled her eyes, then went to soak in a nearby pond to regain her energy.
¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^¤~^
"Kris?" Carol asked uncertainly, looking around the clearing surrounded by trees, dappled with late afternoon sunlight, which they had emerged into. "Are you sure we're going in the right direction? I'm pretty sure that the route to Goldenrod was open, not forest-like."
"Yes, yes, I'm sure," Kris waved her hand at Carol, her eyes glued to her PokeGear. Carol frowned. Was that a hint of uncertainty in her voice? Amethyst, Dawn, and Twilight prowled around uneasily, the fur on their necks standing up straight, as if they sensed that something was not quite right. Her frown deepened. She recalled one of the Pokemon classes...
^~^~^~^~Flashback~^~^~^~^
"Pokemon are more in tune with nature than humans are, and have much better senses," Professor Maple said on a melodic voice. Then her voice became more serious. "If your Pokemon behaves oddly, pay attention to it."
A red haired boy raised his hand. "Yes?" The hazel-haired Professor asked.
"What does it usually mean when your Pokemon behaves oddly?"
"Well, it could mean that it is sick, but that's not the only thing that causes it to behave oddly. If there is some unseen presence or if there are Ghost types around, it could behave in a frightened manner. When the fur on their neck starts to stand up, you have to pay extra attention to the surroundings. The most common reason is that something is about to attack..."
^~^~^~^~End Flashback~^~^~^~^
Carol screamed and ducked involuntarily as a dark shape hurtled out of the bushes at Kris. Kris looked very surprised, and it was obvious that she could not get out of the way in time, when another dark, but larger shape accompanied by a much smaller one leapt out of the bushes on the right side and tackled Kris, then Amethyst, Dawn, and Twilight, to the ground. They skidded, throwing up tufts of grass and chunks of soil, and ended up into a heap on the left side of the rather small clearing.
The last two dark shapes turned out to be Lionel and Silver, while the first one was a Houndoom. Suddenly, a pack of Houndour materialized around the clearing, and, too late, the group realized that they had been surrounded.
