Vokteren: What? Only one review? Why is that?

Pikachu: Perhaps because there was only one day between chapter 2 and 3. I haven't seen other fics that update so quickly.

Vokteren: So you're saying that I update too quickly?

Pikachu: Yes. Well at any rate you should answer the reviewer and hope that more people review this chapter.

Vokteren: Okay. I just hope that more people review this chapter later.

Lord Slasher: I'm really happy for your good explanation of the words. If I've got it right then "shipping" is just like pairing and "cliffhanger" is the same as Pikachu said. I'm happy that my story was so good that I'm on your favorite author list and my story is on your favorite story list. I'll do my best to keep up the quality of my work.

Pikachu: (with a happy smile) I told you. I knew I was right. Who is the best, huh?

Vokteren: Okay Okay. I admit defeat and give you the honor of doing yet another disclaimer. Satisfied with that?

Pikachu: Yeah, sure I am. "I do not own pokemon nor do I own Golden Sun. the same rule applies for my friend who is writing this down."

Vokteren: Ok. Time to start the story. Oh, before I forget. You can eat dinner now but don't you dare take anything else than your own food.

Pikachu: Are you accusing me for taking a plate of your "special diet of milk and rice"? Do you think I want to eat that? You know what? Just write the story.

Vokteren: Okay. Let's get down to business.

"Speech" ¤Thoughts¤ [Telepathy] (A/N: Author Note) (P/N: Pika Note)

"Where could Mia be" Garet slammed his fist in the table and boiled with fury.

After the attack three nights ago they had been forced apart from each other, but now everyone had come together, with exception for Mia. She was still out there somewhere, he could feel it. But he still couldn't shake of the feeling he had that something big and dangerous was after her.

¤There is no reason to be mad. I should go out to the others and look after her. I hope she can reach us in time. We agreed that we are going to leave tomorrow morning, even if Mia is here or not.¤ He walked out of the inn and headed over to Isaac and Ivan.

"Do you think Mia were able to escape from the beasts?" Ivan asked Isaac.

"I'm not sure Ivan. I hope so but we were merely one days walk away from Mikasalla and she still haven't showed up. She is a strong girl but I've started to worry about her." Isaac said. His voice was in a monotone tone, something in his voice even suggested she was dead.

"Have you seen any signs of her?" Garet said when he came up to the others, but when he saw their face he knew that the answer was negative.

They all stood and saw towards the horizon. From a distance they could have been mistaken for statues because they were totally stiff except for their eyes that scanned the area for a girl with blue hair and white clothes.

The sun was slowly gliding down from the peak of the mountain, bathing them in a golden light.

"There is no use standing here and staring at nothing" Garet suddenly said. The others looked at him with shock.

"I mean that just standing here won't bring her back." There was a slight pause before Garet continued

"We should go back to the inn and rest. Mia knows that we are heading east and if she doesn't find us here she knows that we can meet up at a later point."

"You might be right Garet." Isaac said.

"It's just that I feel she is in grave danger somehow."

"You feel it to?" Garet said.

"If you too feel it then it must be serious." Ivan said.

"Ever since I saw that the monster attacked her instead of me I've been wondering why. Later when you two had gotten the beasts away I got the feeling that it wasn't a random choice." Ivan said.

"But it wasn't" Isaac was cut short by a powerful surge of light not too far from the town.

"What was that?" Garet shouted.

"I don't know, but whoever did this must be extremely powerful. The strongest light I've ever been able to produce haven't been half as dazzling." Ivan said with admiration in his voice.

"I can't see anyone because the sun has just leaved the sky, so we might just as well go to the inn." Isaac said

"Are you sure about that?" Garet said. "Shouldn't we see what that light was?"

"I agree with Garet." Ivan said. "It could be someone in need of help."

"I am the leader of this group and I decide whether we are going to check the light or not." Isaac said.

"This isn't like you Isaac." said Ivan. "I have never heard you"

Ivan was stopped by a shout behind him.

"Pika pika pikachu chu." said a mysterious light voice behind them.

"Skit skit skitty" said a different voice. (A/N: I'm not sure how I'm supposed to write Skitty's speech so any corrections on this would be good.)

"Do you know this pink cat?" said a voice that they had longed to hear in many days.

They turned around and saw Mia and two creatures they had never seen before. One was yellow with exception for his chins, nose, eyes and the tip of its ears. Its chins were red and the rest was black. It wasn't bigger than almost Ivan's knee height.

The other creature was pink except for its face and feet that were yellow like. It looked like a cat but was smaller and had shorter legs thicker body and rounder head. It was very cute looking but they didn't pay any attention to the creatures.

"MIA!" Ivan shouted. He ran to Mia and gave her a hug. "We were worried about you because you were late."

"Don't worry Ivan" Mia replied. "I'm perfectly fine thanks to my new friend Pikachu."

"Who is that?" Garet asked.

[That would be me.] said Pikachu using her telepathic powers. [I'm happy to finally meet you. You must be Ivan so that would make Garet the one with red hair and Isaac is the one with gold like hair.]

"Um... who of you said that?" Isaac asked no one in particular.

[I did. Skitty doesn't know how to talk through telepathy yet. Oh stupid me. I'm the yellow one.]

"Okay" Garet said. "Can you tell us why you can and Skatty, Sketty whatever can't?"

[Can't we continue this discussion inside? It is about to start raining and I feel it is going to be a big downpour.]

"I see no reason why we can't. We can talk out at the inn" Isaac said.

They entered the inn and sat down at the table. Soon the innkeeper's wife came.

"What do you want?"

"What can we get?" Asked Mia.

"We have chicken, bread, water, cheese and milk although I guess the three gentlemen already knows. They have been here the last two days." She said throwing a glance at Isaac, Ivan and Garet.

[I think I and Skitty should go] Pikachu said. [We don't have any money to pay for a meal.]

"Don't worry about that." Mia said "We'll pay for you. You two just order whatever you like."

"But..." Isaac said, but stopped when Mia gave him a death stare.

[Even milk?] Pikachu said.

"Of course." Mia said. "Why shouldn't you get milk?"

[Because that is a rare treat for me. We pikachus don't get to drink much milk.]

"Well just order milk then." Mia responded. "I'll take bread, cheese and a glass of water."

Pikachu sat and whispered with Skitty while the other ordered their meal. Isaac ordered chicken, cheese and water, Garet ordered one of each and milk as drink and Ivan ordered chicken and milk.

[Okay.] Pikachu said [We'll take bread and milk.]

The waitress left and came back after very little time with five cups, a plate, milk and water. Isaac poured himself a cup of water.

"I believe that you two have an exciting story to tell us." Isaac said staring at Pikachu and Skitty who drank milk.

[I'll start] said Pikachu.

She told them about how she had been so brutally separated from her own world and her friends. How she had been attacked and almost killed by a Dino. How Mia had saved her life at the stream and finally how she and Mia had evolved a friendship.

Afterwards it was Skittys turn to tell her tale. Her version was similar to Pikachu's until they had been spilt up. Skitty had seen her friends fall through different holes in the black world they were in until she finally shot out of a hole herself. She had been lucky and landed very close to Mikasalla right before Ivan, Garet and Isaac arrived.

After that it was Mia's turn and finally Isaac, Ivan and Garet told their stories. Isaac and Garet were losing the match when the Dinoes had suddenly started to run. Ivan had gotten to them and they had started on their way to Mikasalla.

"What that is strange is that the Dinoes fled as soon as you were out of sight." said Ivan. "They could easily have defeated Isaac and Garet but they still decided to run away. I find that very strange."

"And as if that isn't enough then after you had disappeared we all got a feeling that something powerful were after you. It vanished when that flash of light illuminated the heaven. This leads me to think. What was that flash of light?" Garet said.

[Haven't I told you? It was a special attack that I only use when I'm in grave danger. I draw all electricity out of anything close and unleash it in a powerful blast of light. The downside is that I only can use it if I'm with other electric pokemon or if the air is loaded with electricity. This was the reason I could use that attack now.] Pikachu explained.

"Pretty interesting" said Isaac. "But I believe it is time for us to head to bed. I see that one of us have taken this advice already."

Everyone turned and saw that Skitty had fallen asleep with her face in the milk.

[I agree with Isaac.] Pikachu said. [If we are going to leave tomorrow morning we better head for bed now.

Pikachu yawns followed by Ivan.

"Ok I'll tell the innkeeper that we need two three person rooms and pay for us" said Garet and headed towards the innkeeper. Mia carefully picked up Skitty and wiped her face clean.

"Okay, boys get the room to the right and girls take the left room." Garet said coming back with two sets of keys.

Mia took the girl room keys and locked up for her and Pikachu. Pikachu closed the door after them and leaped straight into bed, falling asleep as soon as she hit the pillow. Mia laid Skitty on her own bed and leaped into the only free bed. She fell asleep quickly, not noticing the shadow that was disappearing from her door and out of the inn.

Vokteren: A new so called "cliffhanger". I'm almost sorry for not being able to write more today.

Pikachu: At least I can finally go to sleep. You've kept the whole house awake with your writing.

Vokteren: Okay, okay. I'll shut down right after I've uploaded this chapter. I hope I get more reviews on this one.

Pikachu: (With a big yawn) Review after you has read the story or else he won't update. Now good night. (Falls asleep standing.)

Vokteren: Good night to you too (Carries pikachu to her bed.) See you all in the next chapter. Oh and this time I mean it. No reviews means no new chapters.
