Gemini: This chapter is Mina's story since she was a child until now. It may give you some idea of what she is like and why.

*********************************************************************

Mina sat on one of the wooden benches in the second district in Traverse Town. The sun shone down on her and her Phanpi who was sun bathing beside her. Mina was ashamed of herself for going on Ansem's side the week before. She didn't trust herself to be around Ryo and the others, so decided to keep to herself.

"Phanpi, I think it would be best if you stayed with Ryo, he would take care of you for me." She explained to him but Donphan didn't want to go with Ryo it wanted to stay with her. She sighed and sat down and started thinking.

****************** Mina's Story ***************************************

A little girl with dark blondish hair and big blue eyes was sitting on her father's lap laughing at a joke he had told her, she had a big smile on her face.

"Papa don't ever go." The little girl said to her father.

"Mina dear I will have to sometime but not a while yet." He explained to Mina as she tilted her head to the side, her hair falling into her face. That night as Mina slept soundly a dreadful storm brewed, Mina woke with a start, as her house was being ripped apart by the storm.

"Papa no!" Mina yelled as her father was blown away by the storm, she was left standing there crying, when a man came, picked her up and walked through a portal. Mina struggled to get free but the man told her to calm down.

For the next 5 yrs the man looked after her but when she was 15, he changed he started experimenting with strange looking creatures. The man was fed up with Mina and told her she had to leave, she didn't want to, so he told one of the strange creatures to attack her. They did and gave her the scar she had down one side of her eye.

The man who raised her for those 5 years was.. Ansem.

***************************End of Mina's story**************************

Mina started crying softly to herself at the thought her father. Phanpi noticed her, jumped onto her and wiped her tears away with its little trunk. Mina smiled a little and petted him on head.

"Mina there you are." Mina turned around to see who it was, it was Ryo and Riku. She turned away; Ryo's eyes were beginning to water. "Mina look it's not your fault he tricked you, you can't blame yourself."

"Ryo it's all my fault I fell for it, it's best if you don't have anything to do with me Ryo, I don't want you getting hurt." Mina said as she started crying again. Ryo sat down next her and gently comforted her, Mina pushed him away.

"Mina I know how you feel I was tricked by Ansem, I don't blame myself." Riku explained.

"Really?" Mina said looking up at Riku who nodded. "You're right Ryo I guess it's his fault not mine." Ryo looked really happy and hugged her tightly. Ryo and Mina stood up, Ryo put an arm around her protectively.

"Let's go back to the others, ok Mina?" Ryo said, Mina nodded, she put her head on his. They walked to the small house in the third district followed by Riku.

"Mina's back everybody, she's very sorry for what happened." Ryo said as Mina put loose bits of her hair behind her ear and looked at the floor.

"How can we trust her after what see did?" Leon questioned. Ryo got mad and started arguing with him. "Leave it Ryo I don't blame you for not trusting me Leon." Mina said in a quiet voice. Leon said he was sorry and that she was welcome to help them anytime. Mina smiled a little, she then hugged Leon and Sora and said thank you.

"It seems our friends Ash, Misty and Brock are in trouble we have to go and help them." Mina said while tapping away a little computer she got out from her pocket. So they went back to the Pokemon world via the warp hole.

"BUGGGGGGGGG!" Mina yelled as a caterpie climbed on her arm. "Get it off me! Wahhhhh! Phanpi do something!" Phanpi just hid behind Riku, it was scared of the caterpie.

"Totodile Watergun!"

"Poliwhirl Watergun too!" Yelled two voices as Ash, Misty and Brock came running toward the group, they had heard Mina crying. "BUGG!" Misty yelled as well.

"BUUUUGGGGG!" Mina and Misty yelled at the same time. Ash and Ryo sweatdropped. Mina ran around trying to shake the caterpie off her arm, it came off her arm but landed on Misty who was scared stiff.

"Phanpi use your Rollout!" Mina yelled, but Phanpi shook its little head. "You don't like bugs either?" Phanpi nodded. Misty started chasing Mina around with the caterpie on her arm. Ash's Pikachu shocked it and it ran away.
