Wow, it took me ages to update this. I'm really sorry but I've had loads of other stuff to worry about, anyway just read the story and ignore my inevitible ramblings. I don't really want to say what happened. What I need is one of those livejournal things...if only my life was more interesting I might actually write one. Oh well, enjoy.

Chapter 4

A man sat at a large desk in the center of his spacious office, the sun streamed in through a skylight that revealed the perfect blue sky. He whistled a nameless tune whilst absent mindedly tapping his ballpoint pen on the tabletop whilst his brilliant blue eyes stared at the blank paper that lay in front of him and his matching hair hung in front of his pale face giving him an almost feminine appearance.

A loud knock at the door made him turn and bellow in anger,

"I'm busy, piss off!"

The door swung open and the two men from the forest entered with scared expressions on their faces as if they were worried about what was to come.

The blue haired man stared at his two executives questioningly,

"Well then gentlemen, what's your reason for interrupting me whilst I am trying to write a very important letter?"

After a quick glance at his watch he added in his soft voice,

"You've got 30 seconds to make me care."

As he said this he ran a gloved hand over the barrel of his pistol which was conveniently placed on his belt within easy reach.

The shorter of the two men gulped, his boss was famed for his accuracy.

"W-well you see, when we got there we...couldn't find it. We searched for hours and covered every inch of the ground but to no avail."

The blue haired man calmly climbed to his feet, although he was shorter than his henchman he still terrified them. He stood still for what seemed like hours staring at the two people.

Eventually, the shorter man spoke up,

"Erm...sir, are you..."

He never got to finish his sentence as a bullet made him collapse on the floor in a puddle of blood.

The taller man stared at his former colleague and then, deciding that it was probably better to look at his leader he lifted his emerald colored eyes.

A feeling of relief passed through his body as he saw that the gun was back in its holster.

The blue haired man sighed,

"Listen...sorry, I forgot your name...wait, what am I saying? I'm not sorry at all."

The executive stared in horror at his boss, how could he be so calm? He just killed one of his own employees for speaking out of turn. What was he supposed to do, should he speak up and risk the same fate as his ex-best friend, or should he remain silent and hopefully survive to live out his meaningless existence, existing only to aid some evil bastard in his selfish plans?

"My name's Yun."

'I made my choice.'

His momentarily silent boss raised an eyebrow,

"No no don't tell me...I really don't care!"

Yun closed his eyes,

'Damnit, I wonder if I could make it to that door before he can shoot? No, then what could I look forward to? Skipping town and moving to Johto, Hoenn or maybe even Ryoka? He'd just find me anyway...wait, what if he can read my thoughts?'

His employer turned around before stating in his usual mellow manner,

"It's still in the forest, I know it. Go and get it right now or you will have to suffer the...consequences."

"Take that with you."

He laughed, motioning to the broken and twisted corpse that lay in the middle of the floor. He didn't turn around until he heard the door close behind him.

After sitting back down at his desk he closed his eyes,

"Aah Mew, you have eluded me for so long, but you can't hide forever, soon you will be mine...I'd better clean up that blood or it'll stain the new carpet."

Yun leant against the wall outside the office with the corpse of his partner lying next to him.

'I hate my life.'

Meanwhile

Lea stood outside Viridian forest tapping her foot whilst staring at her watch impatiently.

'Where is he? We really should move on, it seems like we've been in this town for a month...wait, he doesn't think I'm still angry does he? Damnit, if only he knew the reason I was so pissed off it'd be fine...I hope.'

"He'll figure out that I'm waiting here won't he?"

Raine glanced up at her with a blank expression.

Lea nodded in agreement (Although trainers can't actually speak to their Pokemon they share a bond that helps them understand each-other.)

Cody stood atop a hill just outside the city whilst his Pokemon chased each other playfully around his ankles.

He frowned,

'I really should find Lea so we can get going...oh but she'll probably just shout at me again.'

"Damn, what is her problem?"

'Just as I start to like her she does something completely annoying and unreasonable.'

A loud cough from behind him made him turn.

"You're not thinking about me again, are you?"

As Cody glared at her she just smiled sweetly.

"It's okay, I know I'm irresistible...okay, not in a good mood?"

Cody rolled his eyes,

"Why did you get so pissed off earlier? I didn't even say anything wrong."

Lea looked at the floor nervously,

"I'm sorry, It's complicated...maybe I'll tell you sometime."

Noticing the angry look on Cody's face she added hurriedly,

"Of course, I could tell you right now and delay our first gym battle even further?"

Lea smiled and ran back down the hill towards the forest with Cody following close behind.

Later that day

"Aah, Viridian forest is so pleasant! It's much nicer than boring old towns and annoying guards who won't let us into the Pokemon league!"

Cody rolled his eyes despairingly,

"You know, I'm more excited about the fact that this is where Red caught his Pikachu."

Lea stopped in her tracks and her face lit up.

"There are Pikachu here?" She screamed in delight before diving into a hedge in an attempt to find the electric rodent.

As Cody turned he saw something dart through the trees in front of him.

'What was that?'

He removed Cubone's Poke-ball from his belt and released the spirit Pokemon.

"Ivory, go and investigate."

Cubone sped away into the undergrowth to carry out his trainer's order.

Lea pulled her head out of the bushes and stared at Cody.

"Why did you call Ivory?"

Before Cody could reply there was a loud cry and the Cubone staggered out of the thicket with a dazed look on his face before falling face down at his trainer's feet.

"Err...return."

"Lea, something strange is going on in this forest, can we please leave?"

"Stop being a baby! We're not leaving 'til I get myself a Pikachu!"

"I-I'm not scared I'm just...worried about Ivory, that's all!"

"Well you can leave but I'm staying here." Said Lea angrily.

"No, I can't leave you here alone."

Lea rolled her eyes and shouted sarcastically,

"My hero! I wouldn't want to get attacked by the mean ghost. It was probably just a Beedrill sting that knocked him out"

Cody turned bright red and muttered under his breath,

"You're probably right."

15 minutes later

"We're lost aren't we?" Asked Lea.

"No."

20 minutes later

"Are you sure we're not lost?"

"I'm sure."

30 minutes later

"We are lost aren't we?"

"No."

40 minutes later

"Are we lost yet?"

Cody looked at the ground ashamed,

"...Yes."

Lea narrowed her eyes and shouted,

"Well that's just great, we're lost, tired, hungry, most of our Pokemon are injured and worst of all, I need a pee!"

"You've been waiting to say that all afternoon haven't you?"

"...Yes. Now, can we hurry up so I can find a toilet?"

Cody motioned toward a hedge and Lea screamed at him,

"I'm not going in public. What do you think I am, a Caterpie?"

"Fine Lea, piss yourself then! At least then you'd shut up for a minute!"

"..."

Lea ran toward the hedge and a laughing Cody turned around.

A minute later as Lea turned back she heard a noise.

"Pika!"

"Wow, a Pikachu!"

The yellow mouse tilted its head and Lea laughed.

"Okay. I'm going to catch you, is that all right?"

Lea removed a poke-ball from her belt,

"Go Blayze!"

The Ponyta materialized in front of her and let out a small battlecry in preparation for the fight.

"Blayze, use your stomp attack!"

The horse Pokemon charged forward but as she bought her foot down the electric mouse dodged to the right with its agility attack.

The red cheeks on either side of the rodent's face began to spark as it released its thunder-shock attack.

"Oh shit, Blayze brace yourself for the attack."

The fire horse Pokemon dug her hooves into the soft mud and only took minimal damage due to the ground effect added to it by the terrain.

"Well done Blayze. Now weaken it with your ember attack!"

A bright red flame launched itself off the Ponytas back and before Pikachu had a chance to react it was engulfed in the searing flames.

Lea smiled and threw a poke-ball, as it fell to the ground she watched intently.

'Come on, catch it!'

Eventually, the ball burst open releasing the Pikachu, realising its final chance at freedom it took off into the trees shouting along the way.

The girl dropped to her knees and hugged her pony Pokemon, careful not to touch the flames that covered her back.

"Well done Blayze, that was a great try. When we get to Pewter City I'll be sure to buy you a treat."

One she'd returned her Ponyta she climbed to her feet, ignoring the mud that now covered her legs.

"Was that Pikachu in the hedge or something? It just sped past shouting at the top of its voice."

Lea reached out and pushed the boy roughly onto the ground before walking away.

'Why does she keep doing that?'

30 minutes later

The two teenagers stood beside a sign pointing them in the direction of the exit, Lea was sitting on the floor with her four Pokemon watching Cody as he battled a wild Beedrill.

"Spike, horn attack."

The Nidoran ran forward and struck the bug Pokemon, knocking it backwards slightly. As the wild Pokemon readied its stinger Spike span around and kicked it in the face.

Beedrill let out a loud buzz and swung its claw at the Nidoran, stinging him three times.

"Uh-oh, Spike use your own Poison sting."

As the horn dug into the bug's flesh the Beedrill began to bleed and decided to retreat.

"Way to go Cody, that was c..."

She stopped talking as the Nidoran began to glow a dazzling white.

After a few seconds of stunned silence the light cleared and the baby Nidoran was replaced by a much bigger Pokemon.

Cody smiled,

"Oh my god. It's a Nidorino."

Lea stared in amazement.

"I-It evolved!"

"Well duh."

"That's not fair. I want one of my Pokemon to evolve as well."

"I'm obviously just more skilled than you are then."

Lea reached out and tripped him up before making her Pikachu sit on his stomach.

"Take that back or I'll tell Sparky here to shock you!" Lea laughed.

Cody frowned,

"Okay, I take it back."

He leapt to his feet and started to run,

"But I'm going to challenge the gym leader before you!"

"Oh no you won't."

Lea gave chase and the two kids ran away laughing with their Pokemon following close behind.

Unfortunately they failed to notice the dark figure that was watching them from the shadows.

Yes, the enemies are actually going to be truly evil. None of this crappy Team Rocket 'We want to use Pokemon for evil and take over the world' stuff.

As much as I enjoyed writing this (Especially the first part) I was kinda tired and I think it came out really crap, tell me what you think and I'll try to use your advice for my next chapter. ;)

Okay, thanks to my reviewers for your kind words and all of the original trainers. I'll start including them soon.

I've stopped accepting original characters for now but I am now looking for members of the new version of team rocket (Team Omega) Just use the same form but I'm going to assume that they're members. I would say that the next chapter'll be up soon but knowing me it probably won't be. :) Hopefully, the next chapter will be okay because it's the first gym battle.

P.S I've already started chapter 5 and I'm trying to make Lea and Cody less Mary-Sueish.

P.P.S I've added some of my favourite sites to my profile so if you want to, check them out.

P.P.P.S If anyone knows how to put links and bold/italic text in their profile please can you let me know? If you have to use HTML tags please can you give them to me?

Warning: This story will probably recieve an 'R' rating at some point in the near future. (Possibly with the next chapter)
