Pichu Star: Well, if they had cracked the genetic code, wouldn't they have been able to successfully clone the others that they were trying to clone when they started to clone Mewtwo? That's just another thought that I had about that. I agree that it would be nice to whack some people on the head with a mallet, but I guess that that's just not how things really are. Especially because it'd be considered assault. Anyway, thanks for the review!

Crystalstorm21: Sorry about the wait for this chapter and I also apologize for how long the next chapter will probably be. Read towards the end and you'll see why. And it'll take a while for Team Rocket to realize they're on a REAL wild goose chase after a while, because first they actually have to get somewhere up north, right? :) So it'll be a while. Anyway, thanks for the review.

Author's Notes: I'm sorry that its taken so long I've just had a lot going on that's prevented me from completing this. And I had other things to work on that gave me some trouble. Sorry about that. Anyway, here's chapter 7!

Big words I used in this chapter are: (all definitions are taken straight from a dictionary)

Phosphorescence: 1. the property of being luminous at temperatures below incadescence, as from slow oxidation or after exposure to light or other radiation. 2. a luminous appearance resulting from this. 3. any luminous radiation emitted from a substance after the removal of the exciting agent.

Will watched the Blazeon stop as it began to yawn. Then as it curled up and went to sleep, Will knew that it would be best to let it sleep. There wouldn't be anything that he'd be able to do about it sleeping, and Will had to admit that he was getting a little tired as well. Will turned to his second and said, "Tell the men to get some rest." Will paused as the cave rumbled again. "If they can manage it," Will added.

The man nodded sharply and turned to move down the line telling each person to get what sleep they could. Will wasn't sure how much sleep he'd be able to get himself. Especially because the rumbling, although random, somehow always seemed to be getting stronger. As Will's second returned, Will asked him, "What do you think that the Blazeon evolved from?

Will's second thought for a moment before replying, "Probably an Eevee."

Will nodded to himself. "And how do you think that it evolved to that?"

"I don't know. Maybe a combination of different stones? Like maybe a sun stone and a fire stone that the same time?"

Will thought about that. It was at least something that he hadn't considered. It made sense, but it still didn't tell him what made it evolve. Will knew that he'd either have to puzzle it out, see one evolve, or find out how to get Jack to tell him. Soon, Will was somehow sleeping soundly, and nothing woke him until the biggest rumbling in the cave struck.

Ash sighed. He didn't seem to be able to sleep. For whatever reason, he also didn't feel tired. He stared off into the trees not really looking at anything. Whatever had brought him here was making him feel a very strong urge to continue on. Ash looked at Mark and Sara. There was something about those two that he couldn't place his finger on it, but he knew that they were somehow different than Misty or Brock. Ash shook his head and decided to think of something else. May or Misty? Ash asked himself. How could he have feelings for both? Ash had always thought that he'd only have feelings for one girl and one girl only, but now he had two girls that he was feeling the same thing for. How could this be possible? Ash asked himself. It defied all possible explanation. Ash shook his head. This was never anything that anyone could have prepared him for.

As Ash was deep in thought, a very loud rumbling caused him to jump. He wasn't the only one, but Mark and Sara almost seemed terrified. "We have to go now!" Sara snapped. Ash looked at the sky. It was still a long way away from dawn. Whatever caused that rumble really spooked them, even more than Ash thought was possible.

"Wh- what was that?" Brock asked.

"The reason why we leave now," Mark answered shortly.

Before Ash realized it, they were all moving through the cave. Ash looked back, May was the only one who seemed to still be getting any sleep still, mainly because she was still half-asleep. Misty and Brock were very alert of what was happening in the cave. Ash also noticed that May was still hugging her pillow. Ash shook his head. He really shouldn't have thought of May as doing anything else this early while still being partially asleep. Soon they lost sight of the entrance of the cave and were surrounded by darkness. However, as they continued through the cave, Ash noticed that there seemed to be a light up ahead. As they neared the light, Ash could see that it was plants that were giving off of a strange phosphorescence that seemed to be coming from the plants that were on the walls. Nothing Ash had ever encountered could even be remotely close to this. Ash wasn't certain that he was going to like what may lay at the end of this journey.

Will jumped up. Nothing like that had ever occurred to Will, and he didn't want it to happen again. He felt like the ceiling of the cave was going to fall in on him. He didn't like the feeling that gave him. Will looked at the Blazeon and saw it sniffing the air. The it started to run back the way they had come. Will figured that there was a cave in ahead and their way would be blocked. So, he followed the Blazeon as it moved into another branch that led into a completely different direction. Will just assumed that it was another cave that would eventually go to where he wanted to go, but he just didn't like the feeling that they were going up towards the surface instead of deeper into the caves.

Bill jumps as he hears the song again after so many years of silence. He knows that the pokemon is somewhat nearby, but still is quite a ways away because of how faint the sound is. Bill is really excited and calls up Professor Oak to tell him. Bill doesn't even notice the strange sounds that are accompanying the song.

Author's Notes: I'm sorry for making this such a short chapter. I just found out yesterday, on August 18, 2004, that my oldest brother Henry was killed. Although he was in the army and in Iraq, I guess this was kinda supposed to not come as a real surprise, but it's not what I really expected to hear. So I'm not going to be working on this for at least a while. So please try to understand why. I also would have made this longer, but it's just that I wanted to get this posted and out of the way so I don't really have to think about it. Anyway, review if you want to, please.
