Mashizou: Sorry if its a little boring so far, it gets more exiting though as the story progresses.

(Shows Growlithe faking to sleep on the floor)

Mashizou: It's not that boring!

(slaps head)

Kelsey didn't sleep well that night. She wasn't sure if it was everything that she had been told or Mike's constant snoring. She turned to her left and the clock. It read 4:53 in red bold letters. Slowly she slipped out of bed and grabbed her clothes from her bag (she was in her pajamas), and stepped through the door and into the bathroom to change. She came back out moments later to find Mike snoring louder than ever and couldn't take it any longer. She reached into her bag and pulled out a sock and walked to the other side of the room where he and Chris slept. Mike had the top bunk so she quietly climbed being careful as to not awake either of them and then forced it into his mouth. "That should do us all some good." she smiled as she climbed back down, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door into the hall.

When she got to the front desk the clock on the wall read 5:17 am and the sun could be seen poking it's way over the hills. She was relieved to see Nurse Joy was nowhere in sight. "Good." she sighed. "She would ruin my chance." she said as she slipped behind the desk and flipped on the computer. While it was loading she picked the lock on the file cabnet with a pin she had brought with her and began searching its contents. 'No, no... none of these are what im looking for.' she complained to herself. "Deathly disease, Poachers attack safari zone in Kanto region, Several supplies stolen at local poke'mart..." she mumbled. "None of these are any help the the disappearances." she said wincing as the sun shone brightly in her eyes. DING! The computer was loaded, she sat down. "How do I put this?" She asked herself. She typed, Disappearances. 'Whats that?' She thought as she scrolled down to an article. It sounded to be similar to what she was looking for. Kelsey read it quietly to herself, " While attempting to uncover the unlisensed researchers reported spotted in South America, investigators found a chamber. Supposedly unknown until now they ventured inside. It was later proven to be an underground temple, talking of an anchient pokemon. With the powers of air and water. One had had saved the world from destruction at one point and soon after vanished. Also believed to have psychic powers, the inscriptions told of it's power of teleportation and it's uses. The temple seemed to have already been uncovered when they arrived there, however was a brilliant find all the same. Some believe this may have to do with the disappearances of the proven to be Team Magma members. Unfortunately no further information is available at this time." "Ugh!" She snarled angrily forgetting to keep her voice down. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming her way from down the hall. 'Oh crud.' She thought as she shut down the computer and hastily began trying to force the papers back where they belonged.

Nurse Joy walked through the hall slowly. Listening for the slightest sound. She was sure that just moments before she had heard someone talking in the front. As she rounded the corner into the front she stared intently for any sign of movement. She walked slowly through the room, first to the door which was securly locked, and then to the front desk. There she stopped. Something was different.

Kelsey breathed deeply and slowly into her hand as she watched the Nurse search the desk from her hiding spot in the vent. She had barely enough time to think of a place to hide but luckily the skrews on the large vent near the floor were not twisted in properly. One of them wasn't even there so it didn't take her long to open and scurry inside. Unfortuneately it was harder to retwist the skrews in place from INSIDE the vent so she had no idea how different it may have looked, and what was even worse was that Nurse Joy was no more than five feet away. 'Ok stay calm, stay calm.' she thought to herself. 'As long as she doesn't hear you breathing theres no reason for her to search the vent.' Suddenly she felt something tickling her arm. She looked down and there sat or crawled the largest hariest spider she had ever seen. She fought the urge to scream and held her hands to her mouth more tightly than before. She let out a small squeek as it bagan to crawl up her arm onto her shoulder. "Hmmm." she heard Nurse Joy mutter. She heard as she unlocked the file cabnet and then close it. Now the spider was on Kelsey's cheek. Her face burned a deep red a she refused to scream or slap it. Then everything went silent, as the Nurse's footsteps told of her departure. Immediatly Kelsey brushed the spider off and opened the vent.

Nurse Joy was nowhere to be found so Kelsey took this as her chance to get back to the room. "But first." she smiled evily as the spider crawled from the vent. Then she stepped on it.

Kelsey awoke later that morning to Mike and Chris bickering about the sock. She smiled mischieviously and slid back under her covers to sleep.

Throughout the day Mike was constanly accusing either Kelsey or Chris about the sock. Meanwhile Kelsey continued to try and get information from Nurse Joy. However all she would say was, "You shouldn't be here anyway." And then would carry on with what she had been doing. As far as Chris went, it was obvious he knew what Kelsey had done earlier that day. No one noticed however exept for Kelsey who did not dare ask how he had found out. Throughout the day he was constantly giving her looks, especially whenever Nurse Joy would turn up. Kelsey tried to avoid eye contact, however she found that hard. Considering he was one of her best friends.

"I think its about time that you go." Nurse Joy said finally. Kelsey was taken by surprise at the Nurse's sudden outburst. She hadn't talked at all that day. "Why?" Mike asked. Joy grabbed her coat. "Just go, im leaving too." she said plainly and headed for the door. "Not until you tell us whats going on!" Kelsey screamed throwing herself in front of the door. "Its none of your buisness, now MOVE!" Joy screamed. Suddenly a loud explosion could be heard from outside and immediately they all ran out, Kelsey was last as she grabbed her poke'balls. "This way." Chris said racing ahead towards the beach. When they arrived there they found that a tree had caught fire nearby, crackling loudly as it burned. "What the!" Mike stammered staring at the withering tree. Suddenly something shot upward from the water. A blue blurr sprung up from the waves and landed on the sand. It's eyes were concealed beneath a large golden star-like armor. And long streamers flowed from it's head. It had short blue fur and deep navy flames burned and flowed from it's paws like mist. It's long swift gold tail waved through the air as it growled in anger. Long fangs curved invard from it's mouth. A dark glow emitted from the creature, a cold, empty darkness that made Kelsey's insides spin. As unpleasant memories long forgotten were agian revealed to her. "No, not here. No..." Nurse Joy stammered as she fell backwards onto the sand. "What is that thing!" Kelsey screamed as the creature slowly began to move in. "You must get away from here, all of you! Nurse Joy said loudly. "GO!" None of them needed to think twice as the creature lunged after them. They took off at a run towards town. None of them looking back. "Split up!" Mike cammanded. "That way it wont catch us all." At that they broke apart in different directions. However at the same time the creature muliplied into three. One taking after each of them.

Kelsey panted heavily turning down another alleyway. 'I hope the others are alright.' She thought desperately, praying for her friends and for Nurse Joy. She turned to look over her shoulder, it was still following her. She raced on faster as the creature advanced. 'I can't outrun it.' She thought and came to a sudden stop. The creature continued to charge until it was less than twenty feet away. Kelsey grabbed a long metal pole lying in the alley and raised it just as the creature lunged. The side of the bar hit the creature sending it flying over Kelsey's head and throwing her down to the ground. She looked back as the thing began to move. The cut it had gained rehealed as it stood. The outline of it's eyes now shone bright red thorugh the armor. She spotted an old shack and raced towards it, unsure if she would even make it. She reached it just in time before the creature did and attempted to slam the door close but caught the creature's mussel. It's barred teeth edged themselves through the door. Kelsey used what little remained of her strengh to push it closed and screamed in fury as the pokemon resisted. It's face now fully through the door could be seen. It growled as it's fangs bit into the flesh of Kelsey's right arm. She cried out in pain and through herself at the door slamming it closed. It had a large lock and she twisted it tight. She walked back slowly as the pokemon rammed at the door, desperately seardhing for a way out. There was a latch on the floor which she pulled at with her good hand. It opened to reveal a trap door and climbed inside.

Mashizou: I hope you all found that chapter interesting. Don't worry nobody dies, I don't like to include stuff like that in my stories.

Growlithe: Lithe... (sighs in relief)

Mashizou: (Laughs)
