Jenna: *Tired* Hi
Yugi: What's wrong?
Jenna: Joey's not speaking to me
Yugi: Why?
Jenna: Kaiba told Joey that I dissed him. I also had to write the first part of this chapter 3 times. My computer kept freezing on me.
Yugi: That's harsh
Jenna: Tell me about it, and only 1 person answered my quiz last chapter.
Yugi: Awww *pats her on the back*
Jenna: I feel so...unloved
Yugi: Joey loves you
Jenna: He's not talking to me
Yugi: I would tell you I loved you, but Rian would hurt me
Jenna: Thanks
Yugi: She doesn't own Pokemon/Yugioh
******************
Jenna, Bakura, Pikachu, Penny, and Lilly caught up to Seto Kaiba when he stopped at the canyon on the side of town. Jenna got there first followed by the Pokemon. She suddenly stopped as she turned the corner to see where they had stopped. She frowned at where they were and looked across the canyon. She saw an old fashion castle sitting on the edge of the cliff. She walked over to the edge of the canyon and felt young fear around the castle. She could also feel a great amount of evil in the air.
"They're in the castle" said Jenna
"Who?" asked Seto calmly as he dismounted Arcanine
"April and Mokuba" she said not looking at him "Team Rocket too"
Bakura walked up, beside the eevee breeder and also looked. "What about Ryou" Jenna concentrated but to no avail.
"I can't tell"
"What do you mean you can't tell?!" he asked in surprise
"I can only sense April and Mokuba!" She snapped her eyes flashing a bright green. Bakura was taken off guard
"Jenna, what's gotten into you?" he said in surprise. Jenna shook her head like to clear her mind of something.
"Nothing" she said, her eyes returning to their normal blue and looking bake to the castle.
Rian and Yami then ran up to the group. Yami was carrying a small sack "Hey guys, we're..." Rian immediately stopped 10 feet from the cliff.
"What's wrong" asked Kaiba, with a superior smile. "Scared?"
"No" said Rian "I feel something wrong"
"Yeah" said Bakura "Team Rocket is in the castle"
Yami's usuall frown deepend in confusion 'It's not Team Rocket' The tri- color haired boy thought 'It's not evil, it's just the power coming from what ever it is' "It's not Team Rocket" he whispered to Rian. She just nodded and they heard pokeball open and close.
Kaiba had called back Arcanine and threw another pokeball "Go Charizard" he said and the Dragon/Fire pokemon came out with a mighty roar. Seto climbed on to his back between his shoulder blades and his wing joins and pointed at the castle "Fly over to the castle" he commanded. Charizard roared and flapped its great wings. In a few flaps it was airborne and flew to the other side of the canyon.
Rian threw two pokeballs "Go, Corey, and Sokilai" Sokilai the Charizard and Corey the Pidgeot came out and stood, ready for pasangers. Rian climbed on Sokilai and Jenna climbed onto Corey. Yami started to walk over towards Rian, but Bakura stopped him.
"Oh no you don't" said the white haired youth "Your going with the breeder. I've had enough of her today" Yami shrugged.
"Suit yourself" he said and climbed on with Jenna. The Pikachus and Lilly hopped on to Corey's back and climbed into Jenna's over-sized backpack for extra safety. Bakura climbed onto Sokilai's back behind Rian.
"OK to the castle guys" said Rian. Corey took off with no problem. He had flown all his life and didn't have any trouble taking off. Sokilai however, had only been a Charizard for a month and she was still having bumpy take- offs. It was one of thoughs take-offs and Bakura slid off her back. The white haired boy grabbed on to her foot and held on for dear life.
Corey landed with practiced ease and his passengers dismounted. Yami watched in amusement as Bakura desperately tried to hang on for dear life to Sokilai's foot. He gave a rare smile as he watched them land. Sokilai flew 6 feet from the ground and the white haired boy let go, landing on the hard earth. He skidded into a rather large boulder nearby Yami and banged into it backwards. Yami chuckled as he watched Bakura wobbly get to his feet, rubbing his head.
"Shut up, Pharaoh" Bakura hisses, so Jenna didn't hear him. Yami smiled and looked at the dark sky, as if nothing had happened.
Jenna petted Corey on the head as a thank you and he cooed. He then shook his head to remove a loose long feather that was bothering him. Penny, Pikachu, and Lilly hopped out of Jenna's backpack and onto the ground. Lilly looked at the yellow feather the Pidgeot had dropped and picked it up in her mouth. She thought it was very pretty.
Rian praised her pokemon and called them back to their balls. She looked around for Kaiba but he wasn't around "Looks like Kaiba already went in" she announced.
"Well, come on" said Jenna "Let's find a way in" and she started towards the castle, her pokemon and Pikachu on her heals. Yami, Rian, and Bakura stayed behind and Bakura turned to Yami. "Gimme my ring" he hissed, holding out his hand. Yami sighed and pulled out the sack he had brought.
"Fine, Tomb Robber" he said taking out a gold object from the bag and handed it to the impatient albino. It was a large golden ring with a triangle in the middle, and a golden eye in the middle of that. It had 5 spikes on the out side of the ring and a rope, to go around the neck. Bakura placed the rope around his neck and sighed happily.
"Finally, my Millenium Ring" Rian and Yami, were both sure he would have kissed it if they weren't there.
The tri-color haired boy also took out a golden object. It was an upside down pyramid with a golden eye in the middle. A chain was connected and he put it around his neck. "And my Millenium Puzzle" Yami said.
"Don't forget my Millenium Choker" said Rian, not wanting to be left out. She pointed to the black silk cord band around her neck. It had a golden heart and the same eye in the center of the heart.
"We know, we know, Sorcerer" said Bakura in an annoyed tone. "Now let Raema out of your item"
"Number 1, it's Sorceress, Tomb Robber" said the black haired girl. "and number 2, how would we tell Jenna that she got here so quickly?"
"Come on guys!" yelled Jenna from the large wooden double doors, across the draw bridge, at the castle, interrupting their argument. The 3 ran to where their friend was and all walked in, because it had already been open by Seto Kaiba.
************
A red light blinked in a dark room and many screens surrounded a single chair. The screens showed random places in the castle. A dark figure sat in the chair and watched as its 'guests' came into the castle. A cold smile crossed the figure's face and it held a controller to the screens. The TVs flickered and they focused on only one face, the face of the Mayor's son, Seto Kaiba. The figure chuckled and reached down to pet a Persan. The cat pokemon purred and closed its eyes in contentment. The screens switched and it was a close up of Jenna, sneaking down the damp halls of the stone castle. "Soon, I will have our pray my precious" The Persan gave a meow of a tiger and leaned into its master's touch, not really listening to what the person said. "We've got the bait and the mice are sneaking through our maze"
*************
Jenna was in font of the group. She was looking for any sign of life at all. She suddenly stopped and Bakura ran into her because he couldn't see anything but darkness. She didn't notice and looked around. there was a turn to the left, and one to go strait. While she pondered she heard Yami helping up Bakura.
"I can't see a thing in here" complained Bakura
"What are you talking about" said Jenna at a whisper "It's as clear as day in here" She could see their confused faces, but they weren't focused on her. She walked up to Rian and waved her hand in her friend's face. The black haired girl didn't blink "Weird" Jenna mumbled
"What" asked Rian.
"Nothing" said Jenna and she pulled out Sparky's ball. Sparky came out and stretched his limbs. He made a little light, because of his element type. "Sparky, you can sniff out April, right?"
*Yeah...why?* he said slowly (It's going to be like this because it's easier)
"April has been kidnapped" said Jenna calmly. Sparky opened his mouth to yell 'what?!' as loud as he possibly could, but Jenna closed his mouth with her one hand "Not here. Team Rocket is here" That was all she had to say to shut him up. She let him go and Lilly walked up to him, with the feather behind her ear. Penny was nice enough to put it there, so that Lilly could talk.
*The cafe collapsed, and they took Yugi, Ryou, Joey, April, Mokuba, and the kid with black hair* she said, catching him up on current events. Sparky nodded.
*Yeah* he said and put his nose to the ground, sniffing for the missing children. Bakura pulled out Electabuzz's ball to help with the lighting.
"What about your fire pokemon?" asked Bakura. Both girls shook their heads.
"Nope" said Rian. "Too damp. They'd get weak quickly"
Both electric pokemon led the humans in and out corridors and halls, going deeper into the maze. They were heading down to the dungeons, were it got steadily colder and wetter.
"It's so inhuman to put people in here" said Jenna. She didn't notice her companions shivering behind her.
"Jenna, aren't you cold" asked Rain, wishing she was cuddling Tashi right now.
"No, why?" asked the brown haired girl, finally looking around to her friends. "Are you?"
"Yes" said Rian "It's like 30 degrees (F) in here"
"Huh, It feels comfort able to me" Jenna said in confusion "That's weird"
"Are you sure your fine?" asked Yami "You've been acting strange all night" There was a pause from the breeder.
"I don't know" she said finally. It was quiet and the group finally came to a large steel door.
*The sent stops here* announced Sparky. Bakura stepped up and bent down to the door knob. His Electabuzz came closer to give his trainer a little more light. Bakura looked closely at the lock and sighed in disappointment.
"They have those new combination locks, with a key and all the security codes that could possibly be there. I can't break that"
"Are you an expert or something?" asked Jenna in surprise
"You could say that..." he said trailing off and backed away from the door. Jenna had no idea about what he was talking about and looked to Rian.
"Shall we?"
"Yep" said Rian pulling out a pokeball
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Mokuba sighed. April had fallen asleep leaning against his chest and had somehow found himself with her in his lap. It was the only way to keep warm, so he didn't complain, infact he didn't have a complaint to give. He liked being around this girl, but he still was hopping his brother would hurry.
April suddenly woke up and clutched her arm. There was a bruise forming around her shoulder and she was panting.
"What happened April?" asked Mokuba worriedly
"I...I had a nightmare" she said looking at the black haired boy, and blushed a little. She climbed out of his lap and sat next to him. He blushed a little too, but didn't dwell on it.
"What about?" he asked. She didn't answer immediately.
"The Poke Center" she whispered, a tear running down her check. There was an awkward silence that followed her words. Mokuba didn't really know what to say. He hadn't been there. He put his arms around her shoulders in an attempt to comfort her. She leaned against him and looked out her side other the small cage. Mokuba looked at the metal door and wished someone would come in, even a Rocket. He suddenly saw something red and multi colored. The red turned out to be eyes and the multi color was rings. It was an Umbreon. It literally came through the wall. Another came in only seconds later. Mokuba nudged April and she looked to see the dark pokemon. One smiled and walked up to the cage.
*Did we interrupt something?* He asked slyly. April, being the only one that understood, pushed Mokuba's arm away and blushed.
"Hi Raven" said April. The other Umbreon smacked Raven in the head.
*What?* he asked innocently
*Your as bad as Triston* she scolded
"Ringstone" April said happily
"That means Jenna and Rian are here" said Mokuba happily
*We're here to get you out* said Ringstone and she looked around, seeing a key hanging on the wall. She pointed at it and looked at Raven.
*Why?* he asked
*Don't start* she said. Raven grumbled, but walked over to the wall and looked up at the key. He bent down and leapt up, grabbing the key on his way up. He landed on his back.
"Umbre" he cursed.
*Raven!* scolded Ringstone *April can under stand you, ya know*
*It hurt, alright* he said and getting up. He picked up the key and limped over to the cage dropping it in front of Ringstone. *You do it*
*Fine* said Ringstone and she picked up the key. She gracefully jumped on to the cage and popped the key into the hole on top. She turned it and heard a click. She jumped down and smiled as the children climbed out of the cage.
*Show off* said Raven. Ringstone just looked at the ceiling and smiled.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Jenna leaned against the wall and waited for Raven to return. Soon 4 figures came through the wall. April held on to Raven's tail and Mokuba held on to Ringstone's as they passed through. Jenna immediately pulled her little sister into a Ursaring hug, relieved that she was OK. April cried into her sister's shoulder, and hugged back. Mokuba looked around for his big brother, but he wasn't there.
"Where is Seto?" The black haired boy asked
"He when in the castle without us" said Yami "We don't know where he is now" Mokuba's shoulders slumped and it looked like he was going to cry.
"Don't worry Mokuba" said Jenna, who was holding April's hand "We're not going to leave anyone behind"
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Seto Kaiba waked through the halls of the maze like castle looking for his brother. He was getting very frustrated. He'd been walking for at least an hour. He'd have Arcanine out and following Mokuba's trail, but the halls were too narrow for the pokemon to fit through 'Dose this place have a destination?' he asked him self. He finally came to a door and stopped. It was an pine door, new. 'Someone's been living here' He thought and pushed the door. He only got a glimpse of a giant room and 2 people, before he felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder and blacked out.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
"April, what's wrong" asked Jenna. They were following Sparky, who was following Seto's sent. Jenna was leading, and held April's hand. April was very slow and Jenna felt like she had to drag her.
"I'm really tired and my shoulder hurts" said April. Jenna took a closer look at her sibling. She had dark circles under her eyes and her eyes them selves were blood shot. Jenna bent closer, and hoped it wasn't what she though it was. The breeder pulled up her sister's sleeve and saw a bright purple bruise. Jenna was shocked that they would use that attack.
"Team Rocket has stooped down another level" Jenna sighed and got a chill up her spine.
"What are you talking about" asked Mokuba. April turned around to show them her bruise. All of the teens gasped.
"Dream Eater" announced Jenna.
"But how?" asked Rian
"I don't know" said Jenna standing up and picking up April. April clung to her sister and rested "I'm sure we will when we find Team Rocket though" Jenna looked to Sparky "We'd better hurry up"
*Right* said Sparky and he began to run down the halls, with the humans behind him. He reached a pair of doors and stopped. *Here* he said and waited for the humans to catch there breath. Jenna wasn't tired at all and approached the door. The brown haired teen had a bad feeling about this.
"Everyone against the wall" warned Jenna and everyone did so. Jenna also flattened against the wall, and opened the door with her one hand that wasn't holding April. A tranquilizer dart whizzed by and what only stopped by the wall. Jenna scowled and ran in the room. She stopped and found herself in a battle arena. There was a balcony and Cassidy and Butch were sitting in chairs there.
"Welcome to our little arena" said Cassidy
"It's so nice to have guests" said Butch. The others ran in and glared at there enemies.
"Where's my Brother!?!?" yelled Mokuba
"And Joey!" yelled Jenna
"Where are the others as well!?!?" Yami demanded
"Here's one" said Cassidy, with an all too evil smirk. A small cage dropped from the dark ceiling, from a rope by the balcony and everyone peered inside. It was an eevee. It was laying in the cage, and looked sick. "This is the Mayor's older son"
"That's a lie!" yelled Mokuba
"But it is" chuckled Butch. "He wandered in, not 15 minutes ago" Jenna looked at Sparky
"Is it him?" she whispered
*Yes and no* he whispered back *His sent is mixed in with a lot of eevee to it*
"How about a battle to see who wins him" said Butch, but it was more of a demand than a question with Team Rocket.
"How bout you give back our friends and we'll restrain from hurting you" said Jenna with her voice having a growl to it. Cassidy frowned, their guests weren't following the plan.
"Go Raticate" said Cassidy, and a Raticate jumped down to the floor from the balcony.
"Rati" it said
"Go Penny" said Jenna. Penny skidded to a halt in the center of the room, 3 feet from the Raticate. "Agility" Penny ran circles around the rat.
"Tail whip" said Cassidy. Raticate tried to get a lock on the little yellow mouse, but it got very dizzy instead "I said, Tail whip!" yelled Cassidy, but Raticate got swerly eyed and keeled over. Cassidy growled in frustration "Useless rat"
*Sorry* whispered Raticate as it was called back to it's ball. Jenna felt bad for Team Rockets' Pokemon. They try their best but got called useless or weak.
"Good job Penny" said Jenna happily
*Easy* said Penny.
"Go Hypno" said Butch. A Hypno hopped on to the railing of the balcony, and it had a metal cap on, with wires and bulbs coming out of it.
"What is that" wondered Yami aloud
"Do you like our DM?" asked Cassidy proudly
"What's a DM" asked Rian
"A Dream Modifier" said Butch "It can enable Nightmare and Dream Eater to affect humans and pokemon alike"
'So that's why Seto was so weak' thought Jenna 'It used Nightmare and Dream Eater causing physical pain' she looked at the eevee in the cage 'But if that's him, and he's asleep, then Hypno is feeding now' "Mokuba" whispered Jenna to the black haired boy "Can you get that eevee out of the cage?"
"Yeah, why" he whispered back
"If they did turn your brother into an eevee, then we have to get him out quickly"
"OK" he said, unsure if Team Rocket would see him or not.
"Thunder shock Penny" said Jenna loudly. Penny built up electricity and shot the bolt at Hypno. Hypno waited until the bolt got closer then suddenly disappeared. Penny looked around and was on her back from a head butt attack. "Are you alright?"
*Yeah* said Penny as she got to her feet. Mokuba inched closer to the eevee in the cage. He was only 6 or 7 feet from the little animal. He stopped when Penny hit the far wall from a psychic attack. Jenna ran over to her fallen friend and picked her up. Jenna scowled at Team Rocket, who was laughing.
"What a pathetic Pikachu" giggled Cassidy. Jenna walked back to her friends and slipped off her backpack, placing Penny on it. The yellow mouse opened her eyes to see her trainer.
*Sorry* Penny whispered
"Don't be sorry, you tried your best" Jenna whispered back and stood to face Team Rocket "Ready Sparky"
*Let's kick some Rocket butt* He said and began to walk up. Lilly looked at the Hypno, then to her trainer.
*Wait, can I fight?* asked Lilly. Jenna looked at the eevee with the feather behind her ear.
"You want to fight?" asked Jenna "Are you sure?"
*I can take 'im* she said confidently
"Alright" said Jenna "Let Lilly fight Sparky" Sparky looked a little disappointed, but did as his trainer said
*Fine* He said and Lilly ran onto the field. Team Rocket started to laugh again.
"First a Pikachu, now a wimpy eevee" laughed Butch "This'll be easy"
*Simple if you ask me* said Hypno
*You shouldn't judge a pokemon by its size* growled Lilly and she charged at Hypno. He dodged but barely, receiving a scratch on the arm.
*Maybe this will be interesting* said Hypno with a smirk.

Joey: ...So...she's on the coffee again?

"Shall we?"
"Yep" said Rian pulling out a pokeball

Mokuba sighed. April had fallen asleep leaning against his chest and had somehow found himself with her in his lap. It was the only way to keep warm, so he didn't complain, infact he didn't have a complaint to give. He liked being around this girl, but he still was hopping his brother would hurry.
April suddenly woke up and clutched her arm. There was a bruise forming around her shoulder and she was panting.
"What happened April?" asked Mokuba worriedly
"I...I had a nightmare" she said looking at the black haired boy, and blushed a little. She climbed out of his lap and sat next to him. He blushed a little too, but didn't dwell on it.
"What about?" he asked. She didn't answer immediately.
"The Poke Center" she whispered, a tear running down her check. There was an awkward silence that followed her words. Mokuba didn't really know what to say. He hadn't been there. He put his arms around her shoulders in an attempt to comfort her. She leaned against him and looked out her side other the small cage. Mokuba looked at the metal door and wished someone would come in, even a Rocket. He suddenly saw something red and multi colored. The red turned out to be eyes and the multi color was rings. It was an Umbreon. It literally came through the wall. Another came in only seconds later. Mokuba nudged April and she looked to see the dark pokemon. One smiled and walked up to the cage.
*Did we interrupt something?* He asked slyly. April, being the only one that understood, pushed Mokuba's arm away and blushed.
"Hi Raven" said April. The other Umbreon smacked Raven in the head.
*What?* he asked innocently
*Your as bad as Triston* she scolded
"Ringstone" April said happily
"That means Jenna and Rian are here" said Mokuba happily
*We're here to get you out* said Ringstone and she looked around, seeing a key hanging on the wall. She pointed at it and looked at Raven.
*Why?* he asked
*Don't start* she said. Raven grumbled, but walked over to the wall and looked up at the key. He bent down and leapt up, grabbing the key on his way up. He landed on his back.
"Umbre" he cursed.
*Raven!* scolded Ringstone *April can under stand you, ya know*
*It hurt, alright* he said and getting up. He picked up the key and limped over to the cage dropping it in front of Ringstone. *You do it*
*Fine* said Ringstone and she picked up the key. She gracefully jumped on to the cage and popped the key into the hole on top. She turned it and heard a click. She jumped down and smiled as the children climbed out of the cage.
*Show off* said Raven. Ringstone just looked at the ceiling and smiled.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Jenna leaned against the wall and waited for Raven to return. Soon 4 figures came through the wall. April held on to Raven's tail and Mokuba held on to Ringstone's as they passed through. Jenna immediately pulled her little sister into a Ursaring hug, relieved that she was OK. April cried into her sister's shoulder, and hugged back. Mokuba looked around for his big brother, but he wasn't there.
"Where is Seto?" The black haired boy asked
"He when in the castle without us" said Yami "We don't know where he is now" Mokuba's shoulders slumped and it looked like he was going to cry.
"Don't worry Mokuba" said Jenna, who was holding April's hand "We're not going to leave anyone behind"
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Seto Kaiba waked through the halls of the maze like castle looking for his brother. He was getting very frustrated. He'd been walking for at least an hour. He'd have Arcanine out and following Mokuba's trail, but the halls were too narrow for the pokemon to fit through 'Dose this place have a destination?' he asked him self. He finally came to a door and stopped. It was an pine door, new. 'Someone's been living here' He thought and pushed the door. He only got a glimpse of a giant room and 2 people, before he felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder and blacked out.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
"April, what's wrong" asked Jenna. They were following Sparky, who was following Seto's sent. Jenna was leading, and held April's hand. April was very slow and Jenna felt like she had to drag her.
"I'm really tired and my shoulder hurts" said April. Jenna took a closer look at her sibling. She had dark circles under her eyes and her eyes them selves were blood shot. Jenna bent closer, and hoped it wasn't what she though it was. The breeder pulled up her sister's sleeve and saw a bright purple bruise. Jenna was shocked that they would use that attack.
"Team Rocket has stooped down another level" Jenna sighed and got a chill up her spine.
"What are you talking about" asked Mokuba. April turned around to show them her bruise. All of the teens gasped.
"Dream Eater" announced Jenna.
"But how?" asked Rian
"I don't know" said Jenna standing up and picking up April. April clung to her sister and rested "I'm sure we will when we find Team Rocket though" Jenna looked to Sparky "We'd better hurry up"
*Right* said Sparky and he began to run down the halls, with the humans behind him. He reached a pair of doors and stopped. *Here* he said and waited for the humans to catch there breath. Jenna wasn't tired at all and approached the door. The brown haired teen had a bad feeling about this.
"Everyone against the wall" warned Jenna and everyone did so. Jenna also flattened against the wall, and opened the door with her one hand that wasn't holding April. A tranquilizer dart whizzed by and what only stopped by the wall. Jenna scowled and ran in the room. She stopped and found herself in a battle arena. There was a balcony and Cassidy and Butch were sitting in chairs there.
"Welcome to our little arena" said Cassidy
"It's so nice to have guests" said Butch. The others ran in and glared at there enemies.
"Where's my Brother!?!?" yelled Mokuba
"And Joey!" yelled Jenna
"Where are the others as well!?!?" Yami demanded
"Here's one" said Cassidy, with an all too evil smirk. A small cage dropped from the dark ceiling, from a rope by the balcony and everyone peered inside. It was an eevee. It was laying in the cage, and looked sick. "This is the Mayor's older son"
"That's a lie!" yelled Mokuba
"But it is" chuckled Butch. "He wandered in, not 15 minutes ago" Jenna looked at Sparky
"Is it him?" she whispered
*Yes and no* he whispered back *His sent is mixed in with a lot of eevee to it*
"How about a battle to see who wins him" said Butch, but it was more of a demand than a question with Team Rocket.
"How bout you give back our friends and we'll restrain from hurting you" said Jenna with her voice having a growl to it. Cassidy frowned, their guests weren't following the plan.
"Go Raticate" said Cassidy, and a Raticate jumped down to the floor from the balcony.
"Rati" it said
"Go Penny" said Jenna. Penny skidded to a halt in the center of the room, 3 feet from the Raticate. "Agility" Penny ran circles around the rat.
"Tail whip" said Cassidy. Raticate tried to get a lock on the little yellow mouse, but it got very dizzy instead "I said, Tail whip!" yelled Cassidy, but Raticate got swerly eyed and keeled over. Cassidy growled in frustration "Useless rat"
*Sorry* whispered Raticate as it was called back to it's ball. Jenna felt bad for Team Rockets' Pokemon. They try their best but got called useless or weak.
"Good job Penny" said Jenna happily
*Easy* said Penny.
"Go Hypno" said Butch. A Hypno hopped on to the railing of the balcony, and it had a metal cap on, with wires and bulbs coming out of it.
"What is that" wondered Yami aloud
"Do you like our DM?" asked Cassidy proudly
"What's a DM" asked Rian
"A Dream Modifier" said Butch "It can enable Nightmare and Dream Eater to affect humans and pokemon alike"
'So that's why Seto was so weak' thought Jenna 'It used Nightmare and Dream Eater causing physical pain' she looked at the eevee in the cage 'But if that's him, and he's asleep, then Hypno is feeding now' "Mokuba" whispered Jenna to the black haired boy "Can you get that eevee out of the cage?"
"Yeah, why" he whispered back
"If they did turn your brother into an eevee, then we have to get him out quickly"
"OK" he said, unsure if Team Rocket would see him or not.
"Thunder shock Penny" said Jenna loudly. Penny built up electricity and shot the bolt at Hypno. Hypno waited until the bolt got closer then suddenly disappeared. Penny looked around and was on her back from a head butt attack. "Are you alright?"
*Yeah* said Penny as she got to her feet. Mokuba inched closer to the eevee in the cage. He was only 6 or 7 feet from the little animal. He stopped when Penny hit the far wall from a psychic attack. Jenna ran over to her fallen friend and picked her up. Jenna scowled at Team Rocket, who was laughing.
"What a pathetic Pikachu" giggled Cassidy. Jenna walked back to her friends and slipped off her backpack, placing Penny on it. The yellow mouse opened her eyes to see her trainer.
*Sorry* Penny whispered
"Don't be sorry, you tried your best" Jenna whispered back and stood to face Team Rocket "Ready Sparky"
*Let's kick some Rocket butt* He said and began to walk up. Lilly looked at the Hypno, then to her trainer.
*Wait, can I fight?* asked Lilly. Jenna looked at the eevee with the feather behind her ear.
"You want to fight?" asked Jenna "Are you sure?"
*I can take 'im* she said confidently
"Alright" said Jenna "Let Lilly fight Sparky" Sparky looked a little disappointed, but did as his trainer said
*Fine* He said and Lilly ran onto the field. Team Rocket started to laugh again.
"First a Pikachu, now a wimpy eevee" laughed Butch "This'll be easy"
*Simple if you ask me* said Hypno
*You shouldn't judge a pokemon by its size* growled Lilly and she charged at Hypno. He dodged but barely, receiving a scratch on the arm.
*Maybe this will be interesting* said Hypno with a smirk.
