"Well...Who should inform her?" Windy asked, when no body answered, he sighed.

"Well, you see, In that forest it is said to be ghost pokémon, if that wasn't bad enough, there's a temple were people can test themselves, but if you found this temple, YOU HAVE TO take the test" Windy finished, sighing.

"OH! And that's a big deal, WHY?" Oliver asked rolling her eyes.

"Because! People have died doing those tests!" Sam yelled.

"Keh, Whatever!" Oliver said crossing her arms over her chest.

Just then there was 'BING' sound and the sound of Nurse Joy's voice.

"Your pokémon are healed and ready to go!" The gang walked up and grabbed their pokéballs, well the gang minus Oliver whom just waited till Slashwheel walked up to her.

"Let's get going!" Sam said, making the victory 'V' sign.

"YEAH!"

"COOL!"

"Whatever"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Golden Mask Forest

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"So, should we go in?"

"Maybe we could...You know, wait till are pokémon want to evolve?"

Leo and Oliver for once did the same thing, they both rolled their eyes, and with their pokémon by their side they walked into the forest, not even bothering to look back.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Sam cried, Windy blinked and they both ran after them.

The forest wasn't scary at all; Oliver was tempted to kill all of them for trying to creep her out.

Leo was in front, followed by Windy, whom was closely followed by Sam, their pokémon were walking behide her, and farer off was Oliver.

"Nido! Nidoran?" PowerHorn asked.

(Translation: were we going?)

"Vul! Vulpix! Pix! Vulpix!"  Ghost said, shrugging.

(Translation: I don't know, doesn't Flame know?)

"Growl? Growlithe, Growl?!? Growlithe!"  Flame said, shacking his head.

(Translation: What? Why would I know? Slashwheel does!)

"Eve, Eevee, Ev! Eeve! Evvee! Eevee!" Slashwheel said, rolling his eyes.

(Translation: Of course, I'm the smart one, were going to challenge a gym!)

"Growl? Growlithe?!" Asked Flame.

(Translation: Gym? What the?!)

"Vul? Vulpix, Vulllllpix!! Pix-pix Vulpix!" Ghost said, unhappily.

(Translation: Gym? That's, were humans work out! I don't want Windy working out!)

"Nido! Nidoran ran! Nidoran!" PowerHorn said almost as unhappily.

(Translation: What! Leo is NOT working out!)

"EEVEE! Eevee, Eevvvveee, eve, evve!"  Slashwheel said, trying his best not to sound pissed but failing horriblely.

(Translation: MORONS! Gyms, are were we battle, and get a master or mistress badges!)

"So? Should we stop here for the night?" Ask Windy.

It had been a couple hours sense 'Teacher Slashwheel' and it was getting dark.

Sam gulped.

"Yeah...! But who will look out for the camp while we sleep?"

"I will" Oliver said as she jumped into a tree, Slashwheel following suit.

"Someone help me with these dammin..Tents..." Muttered Leo loud enough for everyone to hear.

"God! You fuckn' suck!" obviously, Oliver had heard his request and had jumped down from the tree.

Sam grinned and snickered to herself, she'd never get over how he had always found a way to piss of Oliver with out getting killed.

"Ok...I'm going to go training!" With this Sam and Flame were about to walk off, when Windy stopped them.

"Me and Ghost need some training to, we'll come with!" Windy said as Ghost nodded.

"Yeah, you losers need it."

"Back off Lauren"

"DON'T CALL ME LAUREN!!!"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Both Sam and Windy had been long gone before they could see the battle that unfolded, I don't even wait to go there so I'm not going to describe that...

"Growwwwwllllithe!"  Flame growled out.

"What? What is it boy?" Sam asked. You see, they had been walking for sometime and hadn't seen anything.

"Rattata! Rat!" said a purple rat like pokémon that had jumped out of a bush.

"What the? I've never seen this thing before, I'll scan it with my pokédex!"

"RATTATA is cautious in the extreme. Even while it is asleep, it constantly listens by moving its ears around. It is not picky about where it lives - it will make its nest anywhere."

The Pokédex beeped out in its monotone voice.

"Come on Flame! Let's show him who's the boss! Tackle!" Flame lunged at the Rat pokémon, hurting him badly as it was slammed into a tree.

"Rat! Rattata!" saying this, The Rat Pokémon lunged at Flame, at bit its side.

"GROWL!" With this, Said pokémon rammed his body on a rock.  Weakening the Rat pokémon even more so.

"Pokéball GO!" The pokéball nailed the small rat pokémon on the head; it didn't put up much of a fight and was easily captured.

"Nice Job Sam!" Windy said giving Sam a high-five.

"Are you going to try to catch anything?" Sam asked, as she clipped her new captured pokémon's pokéball to her belt.

Just as she said this, there was a sound and something flew past Windy.

"Pidgey!" Said the bird pokémon glaring down at Windy.

"Vulpix! Ember it!" With this the Bird pokémon was nailed with the small fire attacks, it flew to the ground, and slowly got back up.

"Go! Pokéball!"  The pokeball nailed the tiny, bird pokémon, and it made no effort to try to get out, it was easily captured.

"I think we should go back now" Sam said, seeing as it was getting dark.

"Yeah, I hope, Leo is still alive..." Windy said as he laughed.

"He wouldn't do anything stupid like piss Oliver off right?" Sam asked, at that point both of them looked at each other.

"Uh-oh...." They both said at the same time

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Meanwhile...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

  (A/N: Slashwheel Pov! This is going to rock!)

I sighed as I stared up at my mistress; I wanted sometime to bond with her, yet she said 'bonding is for weaklings' yet I didn't understand how she could talk to be if we didn't have some bond, or maybe she was just good at talking to me and my kin.

She was smirking and listening to her 'walkman' as the humans called it, I wanted her to get rid of that, it's sounds oozed horrible thoughts into her already scared mind. Her eyes were closed, which was good, the cold stare she could gave sent chills up my spine, I sometimes pondered what it did to the others, who couldn't take such things as I could.

And the only reason she was smirking was because of what she had done, setting up those 'tents' for the rest of are traveling groups, the one they call Leo decided to call my mistress by her name, she had 'kicked his ass' as she said, and told me that it was ' Oliver 4 and Leo 0' on the score meter

It was getting dark out, and 'Leo' had decided to start a simple conversation with mistress.

"Hey! Do you think I could go catch a pokémon, you'll be ok by yourself, right?"  The strange boy asked, concern for his friend written all over his face.

Mistress's eyes snapped open, they went a darker shade of red as she spoke, her words filled with venom.

"Fool, of course I will be fine, I'm not you, and didn't I tell you not to talk? Your horriblely annoying chatter gives me a horrible headache." her eyes closed once again, and I differed my watch to her victim.

"It's just that, Slashwheel hasn't had much training" my ears twitched at my mistress's name for me. I turned my body fully to him, although I didn't want to I growled, My Mistress's hand came down and petted me, anything for affection I thought.

This got the attention of the one named PowerHorn, who turned to me and started to growl aswell.

"Very well, tell the others were I've goon if they get back before me!" With this, him and his rabbit like pokémon ran off.

I knew now was the best time to talk to her, so I did.

"Eevee?" I asked looking up at her. I wanted so badly to call her 'Lauren' or 'Oliver' but no, I was forced to call her 'Mistress' if I wanted her attention.

(Translation: Mistress?)

She looked down at me, her voice wasn't as cold when she was speaking to me, and that always made me feel like I was ranked higher then the humans.

"What is it?" She asked, still listening to that horrible 'walkman', her eyes were still closed.

"Eve, Eevve, Eve EV Eevee eve? Evvee Eevee!" I said, hoping she understood me.

(Translation: Tell me, Mistress, are we going to train? Please say yes!)

"We'll train when the time is right, when no one can interfere" Mistress said, her eyes opened when she spoke, but soon she closed them. And went back to lessoning to her 'walkman'!

One of these days I was going to destroy that thing! But I knew the Mistress would say, "yes" to my silly question, I just wanted to make sure she wasn't mad at me.

(A/N: End Slashwheel Pov, start PowerHorn Pov)

I, being as Loyal as ever followed Leo, who's Leo? My strange and annoying Trainer, well, he only ever annoys the fiery tempered girl that reminds me of a Charizard, bet she could beat one in a battle to, if she tried, with her bare hands. I'd pay to see that one, I wonder if I could strike up a deal with Slashwheel...

Leo was looking for a 'partner' pokémon, a pokémon that stayed small as it evolved or just, was small and didn't evolve. All humans wanted one of those, but I wasn't stupid, I knew no matter what I'd still be number one.

We walked for sometime, we'd walked past many pokémon, but I was looking for the right one for Leo. That's when my ears heard it.

"Nido!" I cried getting the attention of my partner.

"What is it boy?" Leo asked, looking around.

I sighed, sometimes I wonder how Slashwheel got a partner like that girl, even-no she was no Leo, her senses were higher heighten then any human I've ever seen.

"Nido ran ran!" I said ramming into a tree.

And there, a purple monkey-like creature flew out.

"Aipom!" Said the creature, I raised an eyebrow at this creature.

 (Translation: Yo!)

This seemed to make it go even more crazy, at this point, it started walking on it's front hands, swing it's hand like tail back and froth.

"Yo! What is this thing?" Leo asked taking out his pokédex.

"AIPOM, the HAND TAILED POKÉMON: AIPOM's tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the POKéMON uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy." Dexter beeped out in it's monotone voice.

"Aipom! Pom Ai Pom! POM POM POM Pom! Pom! Aipom!"  The Aipom said, with his back legs twitching.

(Translation: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hi! Hi! Hi! HI! HIII!! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! Hey!)

Ok...This guy was really getting annoying, if Leo didn't tell me to do something soon...

"Sw-eat! PowerHorn! Tackle attack!"

Sw-eat! Time to make you shut up!

With that, I lunged at the Monkey Pokémon, it was sent back and nailed into a rock, I was hopping that would be enough to shut it up, but I was wrong.

"Ai! AI! AI! AI! AI! AI! Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom!" The Aipom cried.

(Translation: HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! Why'd you do dat? Why'd you do dat? Why'd you do dat? Why'd you do dat? Why'd you do dat?)

With that, it lunged at me and used the 'sand attack scratch attack' combo, sending up sand, making it so I can't see he scratches me on the face, it hurts like hell I'll tell 'ya. The annoying monkey was now on his front paws again.

" Don't take that stuff! Hit it with a double kick!" My trainer ordered.

Oh man, I love that attack, running forward I did a back flip and delivered to blows to the face.

"Pokéball go!" I looked up to see a pokéball, as the human's call it fly over my head.

I smirked as the pokéball hit the annoying monkey. Silencing It for now.

Leo bent down and picked up the pokéball, he then clipped it to his belt, and petted me on the head.

"Good job, boy!" He said grinning.

I smiled to, I knew this Pokémon would be prefect for Leo, it could help him when I wasn't around, and it would and could help him annoy that girl, maybe I'm just crazy, but I've noticed that she can understand pokémon better then most humans at that age. 

(A/N: End Pov, now to third person again)

When Leo got back, Windy and Sam were there, they both jumped up.

"YOUR NOT DEAD?!?!" They both screamed at the same time, Oliver didn't seem to reacted, still listening to her walkman, and having her eyes closed.

"What?" Leo asked, with a confused expression of his face.

"They thought I killed you stupid" Oliver said, her eyes still not opening.

It was dark now, there were three tents sent up. Sam and Windy walked into the separate tents, but Sam stopped, when she saw Oliver and Slashwheel still up.

"Aren't you going to bed?" Sam asked.

"No." Was Oliver's reply.

Leo gave Sam a look saying 'I'll handle this', So Sam went into the tent.

"You Sure?" Leo asked.

"Duh, hell yah'" was all he got in return for his effects.

"Just don't do anything stupid"

"I won't, that's your job"

" Goodnight...Lauren" And before Oliver could do anything, He'd already go into his tent.

(A/N: Start Oliver's Pov)

A lead my partner Slashwheel away from camp, we where going to train, when we got to a clearing it looked up at me, it's sliver fur gleaming in the bight moonlight.

"Eevee? Eve, Eevee, Eeve, Eevee?" He asked, knowing aswell as I do that I'd understand him.

(Translation: Mistress?  Are we going to start training now?)

I'd made him call me that, him and me were living proof that Pokemon and Master could understand each other without a bond, and I believed a pokemon got stronger without one. I nodded, and grinned.

"Yes, Now attack me!"  He looked at me with disbelief, I started to growl.

"Do it!" Slashwheel nodded, he then lunged at me with a tackle, I blocked, and pushed him back.

"The whole point is to defeat me, if you mess up, I'll fight back, there is no room for failure" Slashwheel seemed scaried, and I rolled my eyes.

(A/N: End Oliver Pov, start Slashwheel one)

I gulped; I didn't want to hurt mistress! What if I hurt her? I then knew what I had to do, if I wanted to prove myself to her, I'd have to show her. I lunged at her with a quick attack, she closed her eyes, and when I went to hurt her, she slammed her hand down on my back, I got back up and looked at her.

I knew she wasn't trying to hurt me, she was training me so with that thought in mind, I kicked up some sand, she didn't she want happened next.

(A/N: End Slashwheel Pov, Start up Third Person)

Slashwheel kicked up a sand attack but just when he was about to tackle her, something ease did.

"Hoot-hoot!" Cried the Owl like pokémon.

(A/N: End Third Person, start up Slashwheel Pov)

I glared at the bird and asked it what it was doing trying to hurt my mistress.

"Eve! Eevee! Eevee, Eevee-Eevee?" I said snarling.

(Translation: Hey! What do you think your doing?!)

"Hoot, hoot-hoot-hoot! Hoot-hoot!" It said, then it went to tackle into mistress, but she kicked it back.

(Translation: Simple, I've challenged her, I'm going to fight her!)

I growled, but backed off, Mistress could kick this thing's ass...Wow, I've been hanging out with Mistress to long.

"Eve! Eevee!" I yelled, not wanting Mistress to lose.

(Go! You can do it!)

Mistress, got into a battle stance, as the Hoot-hoot flew into the air, and Mistress quickly whipped out her pokédex.

"HOOT-HOOT the OWL POKÉMON: HOOTHOOT has an internal organ that senses and tracks the earth's rotation. Using this special organ, this POKéMON begins hooting at precisely the same time every day."

Mistress threw the Pokédex at me, and I grabbed it in my mouth.  Hoot-hoot drove down at Mistress, she quickly jumped back and punched it, making it to fly of course and smack into a rock.

But hoot-hoot wasn't done, it then charged and smacked into Mistress, throwing her back some; she quickly grabbed Hoot-Hoot's leg and smacked him into the ground. She let go of him, and then grabbed a Pokéball and threw it at him as he tried to get away, he failed horriblely as he was hit and easily captured.

"Eevee? Eve Eevee?" I asked her, as she clipped the pokéball to her belt.

(Translation: Why? Why didn't you fight me like that?)

"Fine, we'll train like that!"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Two hours later at Camp

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

(A/N: Oliver's Pov)

I watched Slashwheel sleep, a smirk on my face. We'd train for two hours, and now, we where resting. He did somewhat good, at the end, he was level 14! It was pretty easy to do, but I still beat him, and he was going all out.

My ears twitched, I could hear the 'annoyance's' snoring, and I hate him. I think he made it his life to piss me off. If you don't know who the annoyance is, it's Leo. He was the most annoying person ever.

Next to me is Sam's tent. She's ok, I enjoy the fact that she stays out of my way. Weakling, her pokémon are weak. But so is everyone eases here, the fools wouldn't know how to train a pokémon even-if I told them.

The next tent over was Windy's; he was an ok guy, down-to-earth, and really friendly, he stays out of my way aswell.

My eyes shifted to Slashwheel, I looked him over. He was pretty banged up. A Sandslash had attacked us well we were training, well he attacked me. I was winning, the he went to use Slash on my face, at the last moment Slashwheel jumped in front and now has to cuts over his right eye. He now has his first battle scars.

My eyes fell onto my Walkman, my partner seemingly doesn't like it. But that's too bad for him. I don't like it when he talks about 'bonding'

I placed my headphones on my ears. I looked down to see that Slashwheel was having a nightmare, I slowly patted his head, and it stopped.

I turned the Walkman to my favorite song: Headstrong.

Circling your head

contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth

I got a doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later
I see your fantasy

 You want to make a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads
yeah
Well that's over
I see your motives inside
decisions to hide
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
This is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away
Visions manifest your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of shit and that's all right
That's how you play I guess you get through every night
Now that's over
I see your fantasy you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads
Well that's over
I see your motives inside
and your decisions to hide
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on any one
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
and This is not where you belong
where you belong
I can't give everything away
this is not where you belong
I won't give everything away
I know I know all about
I know I know all about
I know I know all about
I know I know all about
Your motives inside
and your decision to hide
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
and this is not where you belong
where you belong
this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
This is not where you belong
I won't give everything away
where you belong
this is not where you belong

This song seemed to sing to me. But soon, I flew asleep...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

What well happen when they wake up to find Slashwheel and Oliver all ripped up? To find out tone in next time!

Oliver out!
