Here's Chapter 31 coming at you! For those of you who were waiting for Jack to go through some character development, well, here you go! Enjoy!


Jack woke up after his harsh night by himself, he missed his friends but he couldn't go back to them. He didn't want to make them suffer just because of him. He continued travelling on Route 9, all of his pokemon were out of their pokeballs and were walking with him. He was able to understand them all using Kirlia's telepathy.

"Are you sure that was the best choice back there?" Ivysaur asked.

"It has to be, it's the best way they can be safe?" Jack answered.

"But how are they feeling now? Did you ever take that into consideration?" Mightyena asked with a concerned tone, he wasn't angry with his trainer, but he was concerned with his friends.

"I know they'll be sad without me but I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happens to them." Jack responded.

"Well what's done is done. As mean as this might sound, being alone like this might be good for us! We might bond a little!" Fearow announced.

"Wow Fearow, I didn't expect you to be so willing to bond." Jack noticed.

"Well sure! I'm only a jerk when it comes to battling, otherwise I'd say I'm a decent guy!" Fearow added. The group chuckled a bit and continued on their way.

"Wait, over there. What's that?" Ivysaur stated, using vine to point at a small pile of rocks that seemed to twinkle like a small star. Jack took one of the rocks and inspected it.

"These are Dawn Stones..." he said, looking at the stones made him think of Julia's eyes, they both seemed bright and full of energy. He took a few and put them in his bag, they then continued on their way.


Meanwhile, the others were just waking up, they were already going through the rest of Route 9 as well, though they were being Jack. None of them spoke as they were all still upset over what happened yesterday. Suddenly, Julia's Kirlia appeared out of it's pokeball.

"W-where is he? Where is my brother?" She cried, looking around for Jack's Kirlia.

"You mean Jack's Kirlia don't you..." Renée responded, Kirlia nodded her head.

"He's not here, he with..." Julia began to say before tearing up, her Kirlia began to cry as well.

"Where could he have gone?" Kirlia asked.

"They might have gone into Rock Tunnel by now..." Diego suggested, Kirlia soon stopped crying.

"We have to go find them!" She exclaimed, she then grabbed Julia's hand and began running.

"Hey! Wait up!" Diego called out, the four of them ran for Rock Tunnel's entrance.


Jack and his pokemon were right above a steep slope down a small cliff.

""There's no other way down." Kirlia said blatantly.

"Are you sure?" Mightyena asked.

"Unless we go back and try to find another way." Jack answered. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough time to go back, a Man key who assumed that Jack was in his territory gave him a swift kick to the back, causing him to fall down the slope. His pokemon went down to go check on him, Kirlia noticed that one of the Dawn Stones he had picked up earlier had fallen out of his pack. He picked it up, wanting to give it back to him.

As Jack was picking himself up, a hand reached out to him, his other pokemon stepped back, in awe at what they were seeing.

"Are you alright Jack?"

Jack looked up to see that his Kirlia had evolved into a Gallade due to its exposure to the Dawn Stone.

"I'm sorry to say that it appears I've used up one of the Dawn Stones you had saved." Gallade said.

"It's fine Kirl- I mean Gallade, but there's no point in complaining about it, we need to keep moving." Jack answered.

"Hey Gallade, aren't you worried about your sister?" Fearow asked, Gallade smirked a bit.

"My sister is very headstrong, she'll no doubt be distraught over me not being with her, but is strong, she doesn't need me. So to answer your question, I'm not worried about her." Gallade explained.

"Are you sure?" Ivysaur explained, Gallade smiled at Ivysaur and nodded his head, this gave Ivysaur the assurance he needed.


The rest of the day was more or less normal for both groups, Kirlia pushed Julia, Diego and Renée along, she was motivated in looking for her brother. Jack's group weren't having any issues, they eventually found Celeste and Shade having a practice battle. Celeste had her Kadabra out while Shade was using his Luxio.

"Kadabra! Miracle Eye!" Celeste ordered, the star on Kadabra forehead began glowing light blue the star then seemed to open up like an eye.

"Smart move, using Miracle Eye to get past Luxio's immunity to Psychic attacks. But we're just getting started, Luxio, use Bite!" Shade commanded, Lucio charged for Kadabra, it's fangs sharp and bared to attack.

"Kadabra, use Psychokineses!"

Kadabra used it's powers to make the spoon it holds levitate in front of it, both the spoon and Luxio began glowing blue. The spoon then bent downwards, causing Lucio to fly towards a nearby tree, knocking it out!

"Ah man!" Shade pouted, recalling Luxio back into its pokeball.

"Don't feel bad Shade, the more you practice, the better you get!" Celeste assured him. Kadabra then turned to Jack's direction, it reached out its hands and used it's psychic powers to reveal Jack to the two trainers.

"Oh crap!" Jack cursed to himself, he didn't want to fight his friends and and order classmates. Surprisingly though, they didn't seem to be against Jack at all.

"Hey dude, how've you been?" Shade asked.

"Not so good actually..." Jack admitted.

"Care to tell us why?" Celeste asked.

"Alright, see its like this..." Jack said, he began to tell the two about everything that had happened since TDS first appeared in Mt. Moon to Jack being accused of being criminal just yesterday. Celeste and Shade were utterly shocked.

"But that doesn't make any sense, why would YOU be targeted as a criminal?!" Shade asked in shock.

"In any case, if you want to stay safe and still be able to roam the streets, your safest option would be to have a disguise." Celeste explained. "And I think we might just be able to help!"

"Y-you guys would really do this for me?" Jack asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Shade assured.

"We know you're innocent, you're our friend Jack and we're not going to let some false accusations change that!" Celeste added. Jack began weeping a bit, he was very thankful to have his his friends help him in his time of need. The three of them then began to work on Jack's disguise.


After about two minutes, the three of them had finished, Jack now wore a black hooded trench coat and a visor that covered his face.

"Guys, I can't thank you enough for doing this." Jack said.

"Don't mention it! You'd do the same for us." Shade said, giving him a thumbs up.

"Are you sure you can't travel with us?" Celeste asked, Jack shook his head.

"If I did, I'll just end up putting you all at risk and I can't afford to let that happen." Jack answered. He began walking away from them. "Maybe I'll see you around." The two waved at their Vigilante friend wishing for his safety. Some time later, a strange creature approached Jack.

"Target acquired, proceeding to attack..." It said.

Jack stood his ground, ready to battle...
