I'm ba-a-ack! ^_^

~*~

Lynn glanced around worriedly. 'What is going on here?' The three legendary cats (AN: Sorry if they were cats and I called them dogs…thanks for clearing that up Subieko! ^_^) were staring her down, as if unsure of what to do or expect next. They stood ready for an attack though, ready to pounce and kill if necessary.

Lynn started backing away and they scooted closer around her to make sure she didn't escape. Molly ran out to the front porch. "Daddy?….ENTEI!" She ran out to the front yard and Kyle barely caught her before she made a big mistake and ran into one of the determined and ferocious looking legendaries.

"Molly! Stay right there! This isn't the Entei you remember…and I'm not sure what he's doing here…" Lynn turned back to the Entei before her. "What is it you want exactly, Entei? You want me to come with you? Why?"

Entei reared it's head and roared. "We go…NOW!!!" he leapt forward and the other two scattered for his abrupt and unannounced attack. Lynn jumped sideways, barely missing the cat like Pokemon's attack.

"You have a real temper, you know that?" Lynn said. She knew Basil didn't have a chance…Neither did Teddiursa or Scorcher. 'Dear God, Send us a miracle!' She prayed as the fire Pokemon backed up for his water "brother" to make a move. Then a pink blur shot out in front of her and hovered a few feet away, shielding her from the probably cold water blast sent her way.

She sensed the presence again. "Mew, mew mew mew" A small voice came. It was small, but it was calming too. Lynn wondered what was being said, but then it hit her like she was hearing it for herself. "Guys! You were supposed to BRING her! Not hurt her!" A slightly agitated voice came into the deepest parts of her mind.

"Mew?" She asked disbelievingly. "Is that what you are?" She stepped closer to the bubble and it seemed to clear like fog on a hot day.

"You know me? Can you understand me too?" The pink Pokemon asked in her own language.

"I think so… What's this about me being collected? And what does that little girl have to do with it?"

"Meilin? She was the girl with a boat that blew up to our hide out in the last storm. We sent her to help with receiving you." She looked at the unconscious body. "What are you three doing??? Meilin was supposed to get Lynn away from civilization!" Mew floated over to Lynn. "I'm sorry, Lynn, but you must come with us now. I know you're probably frightened and think we're here to hurt you, but we aren't. Really. I have some friends. They are legendaries too. One of them was much like you. We all want to meet you. Just to talk. Especially my one friend. He says you need to know everything he knows." She circled Lynn. "Mmm… Strange. You don't look like him. Oh well…He doesn't look like me either." Lynn noticed that the cats had surrounded her again.

Kyle was confused, but he was worried about Lynn in the middle of that horrible ring of cats. He picked up a stick and walked forward. "Lynn…Let's go inside now… Let them leave to get on with their lives…" He nodded at the Pokemon around her, not knowing that she and Mew where talking.

Lynn shock her head and said sarcastically, "Kyle, what do you think you're going to do with a stick? They seem pretty determined to have me. I think They are the ones who have Clay and Sandy. I'm going with them, Kyle." He got really angry then.

"NOT BY YOURSELF YOU'RE NOT!" He ran up to her, only to be blocked by the angry yellow cat with lightning starting to form a ball in it's mouth. It started to walk toward the boy, trying to herd him back to the porch and out of the way.

Lynn stepped forward a little, whispering to the angry yellow cat, "It's okay. His sister was with my friends. Is she okay?" It only nodded and continued to stare the boy down.

Mew only glanced at the boy before returning to Lynn. "We moved the building that those people were in. Mewtwo left a big hole in the ground, but they are all safe. We put them on New Island. Sandy and Clay are with the other legendaries though. We didn't think you would come without them." Mew giggled. "They are really fun as playmates."

Lynn looked back at the people on the porch. Molly was staring at Entei and Kyle looked like he wasn't happy with any of the legendaries. He tried to find a way around the ferocious looking cat. "Lynn, you aren't going anywhere with these Pokemon. WE CAN'T TRUST THEM! ESPECIALLY IF THEY TOOK CLAY AND SANDY AND MICHELLE!" He looked exasperated and tried once more to get through to her, only to be blocked again. He was tired now. Entei stared the young boy in the eyes, using his hypnosis again. Kyle stood perfectly still for a moment, then collapsed on the ground. This seemed to upset the three legendary cats, because they let out a terrifying roar, and started to run at him.

"KYLE!" Lynn screamed. She ran after the cats that were going after him like moths to a flame. They heard her scream out and broke out in three different directions, stopping just behind Kyle. "NO! You can't kill him!" She shouted at them, covering his tired form with her own body. "Killing something like this is cruel and unjust! You of all the creatures in the world should know that!" Mew used some sort of psychic attack to put Kyle back up on the large porch.

Molly grabbed her Pokeball and ran to Lynn's side. "It's okay, Lynn! Me and Teddy will protect you!" Lynn grabbed the young girl's arm and guided her away.

"No, Molly. I'm going with them. You stay here and look after your mom and dad and Kyle for me, okay? I'll be back soon." Lynn backed away from the stunned little girl. It was only then that Molly realized her mother was watching from the open kitchen window. Torchick was gone.

Lynn stood before Mew and called out. "If we are leaving, let us go now before there are any casualties." Mew nodded understandingly.

'Let's go.' She called to the three cats. As if on cue, they turned and walked back to Lynn. Suicune bent down before her, as if he were bowing.

'Get on.' came a gentle, soothing voice. Lynn obeyed and as soon as she was on, they took off at an amazing speed. In, seemingly, the blink of an eye, they were well away from the Hale mansion and Valley Grove.

It wasn't long on the back of the wind spirit Pokemon, before they came to the ocean. Suddenly, they all came to a stop. They were on a cliff overlooking a beach with many caves in it. Mew turned to look at Lynn. "Do you sense anything, Lynn?"

Lynn arched an eyebrow and looked out over the water. "What am I looking… Wait… What's that?" She looked down in the deep waters. "Something is down there…"

"Yup!" Mew chirped. "You have a psychic Pokemon in you, Lynn!" She spun up in the air. Lynn focused on the beach.

"There's two of them." She whispered in awe. "I can tell… It's Latios and Latias!" As if they had been called from their Pokeballs, the two red and blue bird like Pokemon swooshed up out of the caves in a beautiful and breath taking display of aerial splendour.

Lynn watched in total awe as Latias landed near her. She had always loved the way her eyes had looked in pictures on the internet, but looking for real into those golden eyes was overwhelming. "Every since I was small I'd dreamed of meeting the Legendaries… Now it seems as though you all wanted to meet me!"

"They are going to take you across the ocean, Lynn." Mew stated as a matter of fact-ly. "Suicune and the others will meet us on the other side."

"The other side? Where's that?"

"Home, Lynn. The other side is Home." Mew shook her head as if it were obvious.

~The Research Lab that was moved~

Professor Woods was totally baffled. One moment she had been looking out the window at a prairie, now she was on an island, looking out at an ocean. "Where did that come from?!?!" She asked pointing at the sea. The other professors joined her at the window, each murmuring their surprise.

Tracy was the first one to notice that Sandy and Clay were no longer with them. "Where'd those two kids go?" Everyone looked around. "They're gone!"

"Why take the children?" Michelle wondered.

"Tracey?! Did you get through to Gary?!" Professor Oak seemed frantic now.

"Yes. He's busy. I also got through to Ash. He's on his way." Tracey said. He grabbed his notebook and looked at his sketches. "AH!" He screamed. Not only was there only one left of the girl named Lynn, but it now looked like a mutant. She had longer hair, stronger legs and wings folded up behind her. She was nearly crouched in a Pokemon like fashion.

"What happened to my sketches!?!?" He shrieked.

~Team Meteor HQ~

Matsamoto was looking at his now thoroughly beat-up White Rose. She had been gone for a good while. "Checker? Where is the girl?" Matsamoto asked in a dangerously calm voice.

Checker winced. "She got away, sir." she stated miserably.

Matsamoto bowed his head in thought. "Checker. We may have a new problem on our hands. Some of our under cover grunts have reported that there are some rumors going around Team Rocket Head Quarters about our little project being spotted. We need to make sure that she is retrieved without delay. You will be put in charge of this operation. We also have the small matter of getting Team Rocket out of our way. I will put some of our agents on that. Bring her back, Checker, or don't come back." He made this last statement with a smirk and a spark in his eye.

~Team Rocket HQ~

Giovanni was in a rampage again. "DOMINO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE? PLAYING?!" He nearly exploded. Domino saluted and backed slowly out.

"Sir! I've got a good lead on where this creature may be! I would like to be permitted to follow my lead, sir!" She decided if she had to, she would just follow Checker.

Giovanni considered this. "Why didn't you say so? Go, Domino, my loyal Black Tulip. Bring me my prize!" He began slinging things around as she quickly hung up the vid-phone. Then he picked up a paper that had been printed off the satellite. "Wait a minute… This is…" He got a smile on his face. A horrible, evil, diabolical smile that was sure, to the Rocket Grunts, to mean that they would be busy for a long time after this.

"Send orders to the crew in Laboratory H. Tell them that we have a new project for them."

"What Project, Boss?" One of the higher grunts asked.

"Project L.Y.N.N. #2!" He started laughing insanely. "I have in my hand the formulas to the project L.Y.N.N.'S creation! All it needs is a few adjustments," He said taking a pen to the paper and making said adjustments, "and it will forever be called Project S.L.Y.!" His insane laughter continued and the Rocket Grunts looked at each other with the exact same worried expressions. Their Boss had cracked. There was no way he could ACTUALLY be thinking of creating another monstrosity like LYNN.

~The Hale Mansion~

Kyle was starting to come around. He saw that he was in a bed and he could feel both the open window and Scorcher beside him. He sat up. "LYNN!" he shouted, as if she was still there and hadn't left yet. It wasn't long before Molly and her mother came up to give Kyle the heads-up on what had happened. Molly was the first to tell the story. When she was finished Kyle looked worried.

"If she's out there by herself, who's to say they haven't already hurt her?" He stared at the food they had brought him. Molly tried to coax him to eat.

"Come on, Kyle. You have to eat or you won't get better."

"Lynn is out there by herself and you want me to just sit here and heal like nothing happened?!"

"Kyle…"

"I mean she's out there, defending my sister, and I'm stuck here recuperating!"

"Kyle."

"And in all honesty, this isn't just her fight! It's Mine Too!"

"KYLE!"

"What?!"

"Don't worry! I sent a little friend of mine along for the trip." Mrs. Hale smiled and winked. ~_^ "Don't you worry. Lynn is being watched 'round the clock by my little Torchick."

"Does Lynn know?"

"Of course not. Torchick just climbed into her back pack and she'll stay there until she smells food or trouble. Then she'll either reveal herself, or come back here to me."

Kyle sat back, reassured by this and ate what little he could stomach. 'I still think I should be out there with her…'
