For all you people who hate luvvy duvvy moments would hate this chapter! It is short, though, so don't expect much. No battles in this chapter, and there's minimal death... but I like it. PLEEAASSEE Don't think me sexist... Just like I do with Articuno, I express the Milotics by their gender... that does not make me sexist!

-Molgera Boss Music from the Wind Waker ends-

Justin awoke with a huge headache. Kailee woke up as well. They looked around... they were on a small beach. They were definately not on Orre...

"Where the hell are we?" Kailee mumbled. "Uggg... My head..."

"No kidding," Justin was just able to stand up. "What happened...?"

Justin and Kailee heard a distant whimpering. They turned abrubtly, clutching their heads. There was a pokémon on top of a very tiny fjord. It was a Milotic... Kailee and Justin started recalling what happened underwater. The battle before the submarine exploded.

The Milotic was staring up at the clear night sky... which Milotic was it?

Justin slowly crept close to her... he asked, "Umm... excuse me..." The Milotic looked at him gloomily. "Are... Are you mine?"

The Milotic shook her head slowly, then returned to gloomily staring at the stars. Justin lipped 'Okay' and backed up slowly. Kailee stared at her... It seemed that a small tear flowed down the Milotic's face.

"What are we gonna do now?" Justin asked Kailee.

Kailee kept staring, "D'you know what's wrong with her?"

"Uhhh... No," He said quickly. "Maybe she's... upset about the other one... but that's not the issue! We need to leave!"

"She could give us a ride, Justin!" Kailee hissed. "Let's ask-"

"She wouldn't be able to hold both of us!" Justin rebuttled. "Besides... I have no idea where Orre is! It's pitch black out on the ocean!"

"So what are we supposed to do?" Kailee shouted.

"I don't know!" Justin answered.

SPLASH!

Justin and Kailee were blown down by a huge jet of freezing cold water. The two fell over and toppled a few times. When the charge of water ended, the two realized that the Milotic had shot them with a HYDRO PUMP.

The two teenagers looked up from their position; the Milotic probably got upset over the teens arguement. They got up, drenched, and stared at the Milotic. Justin realized that Kailee was right; the Milotic was crying. Wonder why...

The Milotic once again returned to her sad staring of the stars.

Justin looked at his watch; holy crap! It still works!

Tetra and Gers were in a similar situation as Justin and Kailee. They were stranded on a small beach, with a Milotic, too!

They were planning on their escape. Like Justin and Kailee, they too did not know when in the hell they were.

"It's way too dark to see out there," Gers pointed out. "We'd get lost in two seconds! We need some kind of boat..."

"We have to get over this cliff," Tetra said. Gers looked back. There was a large cliff towering above the two. Wherever they were, everything was probably over that ledge.

The two began thinking again. What if... no... How about they... nah...

The two needed to find a large, but fast, source of transportation. Earlier, Tetra had sent the Milotic to investigate the ocean bottom... for... reckage.

She returned at that moment, with an expressionless face.

"Well?" Tetra asked, even thought she already knew the answer. The Milotic kindly shook her head. Dammit!

"Could you find anyone?" Gers asked the Milotic. She thought for a slight moment, and made a corteos nod.

Gers looked at Tetra with wide eyes. Tetra then asked the Milotic, "D'you think we can ride there?"

The Milotic shook her head... what did she mean?

Tetra thought about it, then asked, "Did you see a boat on the shore?" The Milotic nodded happily.

Gers stood up straight, "Where?"

The Milotic climbed onto shore, and smiled. She began moving down the shore line. The teenagers looked at eachother, then followed her.

They ran mostly; the Milotic was quite fast for a water creature. She kept leading them over hills and straight valleys until the ocean trailed into a river at a building. The teens were stunned; it was a small harbor!

There were as many as fifty motor boats anchored there. They could even see a large sail ship. Tetra stared at that in awe; she liked it of coarse. Those were the boats she was used to riding!

The Milotic jumped into the water with a tiny splash, (10 out of 10 in the teens eyes!) and resurfaced with a loud 'Lah'. The teens ran up to one of the ports, and examined the boats; they were all in pretty good shape.

Gers hopped into one of the bigger boats, "This one looks good. I think I might be able to..." He pressed a series of buttons, and the boat started up! Weird... "Aha! Okay, get in!"

Tetra obeyed, jumping in hard from the port. Gers untied the rope at the back, "We have to find everyone! It could take forever to circulate this whole place!"

"I realise that!" Tetra shouted at him over the boat's engine. "Hey!" She directed her yells at the Milotic. She looked at Tetra curiously. "Could you follow us?" The Milotic smiled and nodded.

"Let's go!" Gers said. He pushed forward a lever and the boat started very fast. The two fell back.

Tetra rolled her eyes and took control of the boat. She just barely pushed the lever forward; they took off lightly but still fast enough. They felt the cold, night wind blow against their faces. The Milotic dived underwater, and followed the waves created by the boat.

They took a left turn through to the other shore, and followed the shore through. The water reflected the light from all the light posts and overhung lamps. It was a strange sight. The whole of the land was lit up so perfectly; as though it were day. However, the water and sky were as dark as dark could possibly be.

The teens rode away in the boat slowly at first; eventually they sped up to a very fast pace (WEEEEEEEEEE!) but they met nobody on their trip. They finally were able to get into the open ocean. They spied for Orre; nothing of interest came into view. They noticed that the ocean (at least of what they could see of it) trailed off. It must be cloudy.

They truned around physically, and got a way better look at what they had landed on. It was big! Gers and Tetra were able to make out many tall buildings; it wasn't hard considering how lit the place was from all the lights. They saw tall skyscrapers and a giant dome. They saw a waterfall to the side, and a cliff with towering hedges on it. They saw on one of the other cliffs on the left side a forest. Tetra decided that that is where they check first.

She turned the boat, and headed for the nearest shore to the forest. The trees towered many meters high; the interior of the woods were pitch black. They got off on that shore, and tried to peer between the trees. They frowned and got the boat moving again. Where was everyone? How big could this island possibly be?

The boat had a small digital clock on it; Tetra looked.

Samus, Violet and Manus were together on a small stretch of land. There was a deep cave where they were; they had built a small fire, not daring to go further into the cave.

They were all cold, hungry, and lost. Like the others, they had figured out that they were certainly not on Orre. Where, though?

"Maybe the others are looking for us!" Samus shivered. "This island is obviously inhabited! It's so lit up!"

"Yeah, that's true," Manus agreed, shivering as well. "Maybe a coast guard will come by!"

"Yeah," Violet muttered.

"Well," Samus started. "We're... we're going to have to try and survive before they get here! We should start to travel."

"Yeah, maybe," Manus mummbled.

"I really don't like this cave," Vilet told them. "It reminds me of that movie."

"The Cave?" Manus asked.

"Yeah, that's the one!" Violet answered slowly.

Samus groaned; she didn't really like that movie either. It was a little cheezy.

Samus got up, and got out of their cave shelter. She looked into the dark distance. The cave was located on the edge of the islan; all Samus could see was light-reflecting ocean.

Manus held out his left hand to the fire for a moment, and then got up and left the cave. Violet laid back her head uncomfortably on a rock. Samus turned to see Manus.

"No sign of Orre?" he asked Samus.

"No," Samus answered. "It did take a while to reach that submarine... I didn't notice this island when we got there!"

"Me too," Manus frowned. "What's up with that?"

"I dunno," Samus muttered. She looked up, "I think- METROID!" She pointedupwards towards a leaning fjord. A small blob ofa Metroid appeared suddenly. Manus gasped in horror, and jumped out of the way. Samus jumped up at it, but the Metroid dodged. Samus pulled out a little something out of her soaked pocket. It looked like a little gear. She jumped up fast, and lodged the thing right into the Metroid.

It gurgled and writhed until it lowered down to ground level. Samus took this chance to kick the damn thing out into the ocean. It sunk down, and didn't resurface.

Manus returned standing beside Samus. She looked up again, "I think the submarine must've moved quite a ways before it blew up."

"Most likely," Manus said. "We totally would've spotted this island earlier."

"Yeah," Samus agreed. She directed her voice into the cave to Violet. "Hey! Are you sleeping?"

Violet took a moment to answer, "No."

The other two walked into the cave, seeing Violet laying near the fire. She looked at them.

"Another Metroid?" She asked.

"Unfortunately," Samus answered. "There are a few here... I wonder why."

Suddenly, the three teens heard a distant engine. They all looked at each other, and then ran out the cave. The first think they noticed was a small boat heading for the cave. Someone inside was waving; as the boat got closer, they realised that Gers and Tetra were inside!

But even more suddenly, there was a growl that came from inside the cave. The three teens turned very slowly, and saw it.

There was some sort of deformed demon inside the cave, hanging on the roof. It was snarling, and drooling all over. It's eyes were a dead yellow, and it growled again. The three backed up very slowly, and then- GRAWL!

Whatever the thing was, it flew out of the cave at the teens. The three screamed, and jumped out of the way. Gers and Tetra ducked as the thing dived at them.

It growled again and turned. Violet pointed and screamed as it approached again. It opened it's mouth super wide and made a screech that froze all the teens where they were. Just as the thing got closer, WHAM!

It seems that the Milotic that followed Tetra and Gers had rammed the thing as it got close. She made a loud 'Mi' andstruck the thing hard a second time. Whatever it was, it fell into the water. The Milotic smashed it from underneath, sending it onto the shore.

The thing got up, and growled. It pounced as the Milotic surfaced. It grabbed her neck(?) and sent her under. They both stuggled quitea bit; It held her hard! The Milotic mad a gurgled cry. The thing started to twist it's wrists. The Milotic cried again; her neck was beginning to bleed where the thing's hand(?) was. She cried again.Shethought quickly, reared up, and twisted a few times. The thing couldn't hold her, so it drifted a ways. The Milotic hit it hard with her tail, and then rammed it hard. The thing could hold it's breath any more, and so it gave way. The Milotic made a sigh of painful releif, and slowly resurfaced.

Tetra and Gers had already reached the beach, with the others. The bloody Milotic resurfaced, and the teens gasped. The Milotic came onto shore slowly, the teens ran up to her. The Milotic kindly shook them away; she was alright.

The teens looked away from her and started talking. Tetra told everyone, "Come onto the boat with us! We just need to find Justin and Kailee then we'll leave."

Samus nodded, "Alright! Let's get going." The teens all climbed into the boat. There was still a bit of room left. Gers was the last to climb in.

He asked the Milotic, "Will you be able to follow?"

The Milotic took a deep breath, and then kindly nodded like she always did. Gers grinned and climbed in with his companions. Tetra started the boat again; she was pretty used to it now. The Milotic took what looked like a deep, painful breath. She dived into the water, ready to follow tho boats waves.

Tetra drove the boat out onto the open ocean, and turned right. She headed down the shore, looking for any place for her friends to hide in.

Gers looked at the digital clock.

Justin and Kailee were running out of options. They knew that there must be some kind of boat nearby. The Milotic on the fjord was still balling. Why was still not really known. That seemed to be the issue on the two teens minds.

"Go ask her what's up!" Kailee ordered.

"What the hell am I supposed to say?" Justin asked. "And how the hell is she supposed to answer?"

"Who cares?" Kailee whispered. "Just go and do something!"

Justin groaned loudly while rolling his eyes. He didn't know what to say, exactly.

He got up, and slowly walked up to the Milotic. The Milotic was looking down into the ocean, still crying. He got close to her, "Uhhh... Hi there..." The Milotic closed her eyes. "You know... ummm... We were just wondering... " He took a breath. "What's wrong?"

The Milotic opened her eyes again, tears flowed a bit more. She took a deep breath... and then another. She moved slightly as though she was dizzy. She closed her eyes and fell.

Her head landed on Justin, who caught her (just to let you know; Milotics are quite heavy!) and struggled to keep his own balance.

He slowly placed her head on the ground as Kailee ran up to him, "What happened?"

"I don't think she's feeling okay," Justin told Kailee. "And I don't think riding her is a good idea."

"Well, no duh!" Kailee exclaimed. "What'll we do now?"

"I dunno," Justin said. "I guess we have to just wait. We shouldn't leave her here alone!"

"Yeah, fine, but," Kailee started. "We have to find a shelter or something! We might be here quite a while!"

"Let's just stay put until we need to move," Justin told her.

Kailee rolled her eyes, "You know, when I met you people, I never though I'd end up here!"

"D'you think I did?" Justin asked. Kailee sighed.

Suddenly, a large flash of light appeared. At first, Kailee and Justin thought that someone must've summoned a really large pokémon, but as their eyes adjusted, they realised a very strong light had turned on above them. They had never noticed before, but there was a lighthouse right near where they were!

Is it possible that a ship was coming in?

The two stood up fast, and looked around. They heard a distant splashing noise. Yes! A ship was coming in!

After about a moment of looking in all directions, the teens noticed that a ship wasn't coming in. It was better. A ship was leaving!

A large ship was passing by the location of the teens. It was the Pumbridge! The teens screamed and waved until a searchlight on the boat shone onto them. They covered their eyes, and the boat turned!

As the boat approached them, a large metal ramp grew out from it's side. The ship positioned itself so that the ramp met the ground infront of the teens. A bunch of... wait a minute... were they robots?

They were little metal people... and they all climbed down the ramp. One of them were colored white, and it came up to the teens. It spoke to them with a corteos, yet robotic tone, "Hello there! I'm assuming you children need a ride after the ruckus you've made."

"Yeah," Kailee told it. "Can you take us to Orre?"

"Certainly," The robot answered. "We are heading for an early trip to Gateon Port! We will get there by 3:45 a.m."

Kailee and Justin looked at each other and nodded. Justin told the robot, "We have other lost people on this island, we need to find them!"

The robot put it's skinny, whitehands(?) together and told them, "We have already rescued five children your age. Does that sound correct?"

Kailee and Justin nodded.

All the other robots (somehow) were able to carry the Milotic up to the ship. The teens watched them do so. The white robot spoke again, "Was that your pokémon?"

Justin shook his head, "No.She belongs to a trainer on Orre. She saved our lives."

"We will treat it in the boat's Pokémon center," the robot informed them. "You can check on it later."

The robot climbed up the ramp. Justin and Kailee followed. Immediately after climbing onboard, they were greeted by Tetra.

She was all changed and dry. She cheered, "Oh, we've found you! This boat picked us up five minutes ago! We thought that they wouldn't look for you."

"I don't think they did," Kailee said. "We signaled them all!"

"Ah," Tetra muttered. "This island is strange! We never saw it earlier, and it is covered with demons!"

"What do you mean?" Justin asked.

"Well, Violet, Samus and Manus got attacked by some cave demon," she told Kailee and Justin. "And then we all got attacked by some rock demon!"

Justin and Kailee looked at each other. "We didn't see anything," Kailee told Tetra. "We thought that this island was boring!"

Tetra huffed, and signaled that they follow. She led them to the front of the boat, where they saw something was playing in the pool shaped like an 'A'. It was another Milotic! UUUGGGGHHH!

Justin knew this was his Milotic, though, because she looked at him happily. Kailee and Justin however, first noticed all the bandages on her neck.

She climbed out, and greeted them kindly. Justin asked, "What happened? Was this-"

"The demon from the cave did that!" Tetra told him. "She was able to kill it, though."

"Cool," Kailee muttered.

"What about Juan's Milotic?" Tetra asked them. "Is she hurt?"

Justin and Kailee remembered, and asked Tetra, "D'you know where the center is?"

Tetra grinned, "Oh yeah! Follow me!" She led them away. Justin told his Milotic to keep playing. They walked along the deck, quite aways until they reached a pair of doors with a huge, pink, letter 'P'.

They walked inside and were greeted by a small, silver robot. "Hello there!" it greeted.

"So," Kailee started. "What's wrong with the Milotic?"

The robot shook it's head, "We're not sure why, but-"

"What?" Tetra interruptedly asked.

"She's dying," The robot said.

"Dying?" Justin said.

"Why?" Tetra asked.

"We don't know," the robot said. "We can't find anything wrong yet."

The three looked at each other. Damn; that sucks.

"Well..." Kailee started.

"Let us know," Justin finished for her.

"Will do," the robot bowed it's head, and went back to work... whatever it is he does.

The three walked slowly out the doors. Tetra said, "So... both of them are going to die? That must suck."

"No kidding," Kailee siad. "I sorta liked her."

"We have more important things to worry about," Justin said. "Where is everybody else?"

Tetra looked at him, "Oh yeah! They're eating at the captain's room!"

Kailee's mouth watered... fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood...

"What are we waiting for?" Kailee announced. "Let's go!"

Tetra smiled and led the two towards the captain's room. They were greeted by their friends, Gers, Samus, Violet and Manus plus a group of robots. The only human Kailee and Justin didn't know was the big man in the back; he was probably the captain.

He raised his glass, "Ah! Glad to see more people aboard! Come and feast with us! I may be very late... or early... depends on the view of the person!"

"Hear hear!" the robots shouted. The captain began to chug down his drink. Hopefully it wasn't alcohol...

Meanwhile, outside... The Milotic had woken up. The robots must not be fully... awake. How exactly can you not notice a twenty feet long pokémon slither away? Anyways... she was able to get out of the center. She was leaning against the railing. She made a small whimper, then turned suddenly. She heard a noise.

She dove into the water quickly; without a sound. Gers walked around the corner. He was bopping around until he noticed the scenery infront of him. The clouds had disperssed; he could see Orre! He knew that scene; he had seen it on the Radygoas! Except it was all lit and sparkly.

He knew where the top of Mount Battle was, for he could see all the light from ontop. They were going to arrive in less than thirty minutes; earlier that expected.

Gers felt something on his shoulder that made him jump; he turned and saw all his friends were looking over the balcony. None of them felt like eating with the drunken captain and his robots; even though they were all starving.

A robot then burst through the center doors. It looked in both directions quickly. Tetra strode up to it, "What are you looking for?"

The robot answered, "The Milotic escaped!"

All the teens gaped at it, and then looked over the balcony into the ocean. Justin, Tetra and Kailee looked back behind the boat. She was gone; the poor thing wanted to die alone in the ocean, they guessed.

Orre approached quite fast; they had to warn everyone about what had happened. Little did they know of all the people who were waiting for them; waiting to get rid of them for good!
