Hazy Aurora: I get Reviews...I get Reviews...::Does dance::

Azure: She went bonkers last night...must be something in the water...

Hazy Aurora: I MAY BE ON TOP OF THE WORLD BUT I STILL HEARD THAT!

Hazy Aurora:

Mercenary Pen: 'Ze plot has developed! I love your Character idea it was really fantastic! I wasn't going to do the Regis but you changed my mind. I have fine-tuned that idea and 'Grant' will be appearing soon!

DarkCatXX: Sorry...; I should have called you dudette...I am glad you enjoyed that chapter, I spent a while writing it. I hope that Raikou idea will be coming out soon, not now but soon. Paint is fascinating...After all it's the only art thing I have apart from me...

Danoh1989: Thank you! I think it is cool as well ;. I am not confused...at least I don't think so...(I like using dots --;) and I sort of have to create a lot of characters-It sort of is compulsory. I have so many Legendary Pokemon to do X-x;. I don't think any of their names are similar...To me they all start with different letters of the alphabet. I know you are speaking from experience...Dan and Dewey...--;

Act: I repeat-I am NOT Confused! It's Myst that runs to the lake, not Azure. Azure follows and meets Hikari...So forth. I will try to be more clear for you're sake.

Surfingpikachu05: So many compliments! ::Blushes:: I feel much better! I will try not to stop...Thanks again! Thank you once again! ::Strokes statue of Suicune lovingly::

Persian Mistress: Good thing he did! Hmm, I wonder...I know all about it! MWAHAHAHAHA! ::Coughs::

Hazy Aurora: On with the fic! (I have always wanted to do that and deprive my muses of their honor...)

Both Muses: HEY! That was our line!

Chapter 6: The Star Sapphire

"Hey Azure!" came a shout. Laura came pelting up the dusty path and screeched to a halt next to Azure.

"Follow me." Stated Hikari. She turned and ran towards the lake. The two friends looked at each other and shrugged. They followed Hikari at a fully-fledged run. Azure and Laura arrived moments later next to the weird girl. Azure caught the Jade necklace around Hikari's neck sparkle with a green light. She blinked. The necklace was lifeless.

Myst was circling the lake in choppy circles. Azure saw huge blood gashes running down her sides. In the lake were clots of blood. Laura squeaked and pointed. Circling the blue eon were huge watersnakes, which Azure remembered were Gyarados, their rage-filled eyes greedily eyeing the bleeding Vaporeon hungrily. The blood was attracting more meat eaters by the minute. Carvahna, a Pokemon that looked much like a piranha, were snapping at each other and Sharpedo were surfacing.

"Myst! Run! No, Swim!" Azure yelled. Myst took one glance at the approaching carnivores and basically zoomed towards the edge. Somehow knowing that their prey was getting away the opposing Pokemon swam in a vain pursuit.

"Come back in your ball and you'll be safe!" cried Azure. She held up Mystique's small Pokeball. Almost immediately Mystique's form became encased in a clear red light. She zoomed towards the ball and vanished inside of it. The Pokemon stopped their swim. They turned furious eyes on the threesome.

"We'd better run." Hissed Hikari.

"Good Idea!" Wailed Laura.

They fled through the forest. The dense branches whipped down on their backs as they ran back to the small campfire. Laura, Hikari and Azure burst through the undergrowth and ran strait into Rodger, who had a enormous stack of firewood stacked on his arms. Typhlosion was with him, slashing down branches in a vicious slash attack. Rodger stared.

"Where have you been? Hello, Hikari." His words to Hikari were clipped. Azure was puzzled.

"Do you know her Rodger?"

"We've met." He turned his back and called to Typhlosion. They trekked up the path and out of sight.

"What's with him?" whispered Laura. She turned to Azure.

"I don't have a clue. We'd better get back to camp. Hikari, are you coming?" Azure gazing imploringly at the girl.

"All right." She started up the path and vanished too. Azure and Laura followed slowly.

"I wonder what's wrong with Rodger?" Laura sighed. She looked up at the stars. "It's been another weird day."

"It has." Mused Azure.

.:():.

Back at camp Azure released Myst. The gashes on her sides were now hardened blood. She looked at Azure sadly, realizing what she had done to herself. A glow started in Azure's pocket. Curiously, she removed the source.

A beautiful sapphire sat in Azure's hand. In its centre a small dot of white spread itself until in formed a perfect star. It was a star sapphire.

Azure was curious. That pocket had only been carrying the small pebble. There had never been a gem so precious in Azure's pocket. Unless-That pebble WAS a Gemstone in disguise! She quickly hid the stone in her pocket. Sam might find it. She thought.

"Excuse me?" queried a voice. "Do you have any idea where we are?" The accent was slightly haughty. (A/N: From different countries come different accents...From Johto: British accent. From Hoenn: Australian accent. From Kanto: American accent!)

"You're in Ilex Forest." Azure replied. She started to bandage Myst's grazes. After a minute she curiously looked up.

There were two people standing in the clearing. The person who had queried was slightly smaller than the other, had blood red eyes and yellow-blonde hair that almost stood on end. It seemed to crackle with static electricity.

The other was taller, also had blood red eyes and longish, red hair that flopped low. It was a deep crimson and hung in shags and knots. (A/N: Who are they? You should know...Tell me in Reviews! I will praise person who gets it right! They will get lots of Pie!) Azure seemed to feel a deep connection with them both, as if they had known each other for millenniums. Instead of greeting them warmly, she stood up, put her hands on her hips and glared. Both withdrew slightly.

"You are coming with me." She said shortly. "C'mon Myst. Follow me guys." She grabbed each of their wrists and started off towards the campsite. They followed like dead weights. Myst went behind them and flashed Azure a pearly-toothed grin. She opened her mouth and shot a stream of water.

"Aaak!" yelled the one with the red hair. He reeled backwards before stumbling forwards and almost collapsed in the process of walking. The yellow haired guy didn't seem to be affected much. He continued walking forwards.

Azure reached the campsite and pulled the two guys over to Laura.

"Look what the forest spat out." She said dryly.

"No kidding." Laura giggled. She looked closely at the guys before saying the most insulting thing a human could say to another of the same age human:

"What shall we name them?"

They both looked like they were about to explode.

"WE HAVE NAMES!" They screeched.

"Then what are they." Smirked Laura.

"My name is Roy." The red haired stuck a thumb on his chest.

"Mine's Jarred." The yellow haired almost shouted.

"All right, all right." Laura looked disappointed. "You will be staying with us?"

"Fine." They both muttered. Roy and Jarred headed over to chat with Rodger.

"Humph." Laura spat. She went over to Sonny who was moodily trying to entertain Georgia.

Azure squatted down next to Myst.

"Shall we?" She grinned.

"Va. Vapor!" Smirked Myst. They snuck away into the forest.

As Azure was walking she heard a rustling. They crept up to a thick bush and peered through to find Hikari standing with her arms open wide on the opposite bank. After a minute her necklace lit up with a blinding flash of green light. Hikari's body followed, lighting up with the same greenish glow. Her body seemed to lengthen, and two small wings like headpieces grew on the sides of her head.

Then the glow faded. Standing where Hikari was before was a snake like coil of blue and white. Her head was dragon like, with huge, slated eyes and a horn stuck up from the middle of her forehead. Two small wings sprouted from the sides of her head. She had become a Dragonair.

Azure's jaw dropped open. She let out a soft gasp. Myst seemed to have frozen. Then she started to claw at Azure's pocket.

"Get off it, Myst." Azure hissed. She watched as Hikari rose high into the air and spiraled in the morning sun. Myst clawed the pocket so hard that this time the star sapphire fell out.

"Stop it, Myst!" Azure spat. She continued her watch until the star sapphire snapped her out of the trance.

The Dragonair froze. It then emmited a high screech and started to dive towards the space where Azure was hidden. Her eyes were aflame with rage. A small ball of blue flame started to grow below her mouth. In a flash of blue, Azure felt herself changing rapidly before she could see again. She was on all fours and was able to see with different eyes. She was no longer Azure the human. She was Azure, reincarnation of water, the mighty Suicune!

Azure emmited a loud howl and sent a spiral of ice cascading into the blue flame. There was a huge explosion and Azure felt herself collapse into the earth, fainted. She transformed back into a human.
