Silver slammed the grunt into the wall. Rattata and two Zubats laid in the dirt passed out. "WHERE IS SHE?" He shouted.

"I don't know! I haven't seen Ariana in months. All my orders come from someone else." The man cried.

"Who?" Silver demanded.

"Petrel!" He blurted.

"And where is he?"

"He's hiding in somewhere in Goldenrod City!"

"SILVER!" a voice echoed. She was getting in his way. He needed to stop them. All of them. Silver slammed the grunt into the wall once more, knocking him out. The dirt became wet with blood. Silver started to run farther through the well. Suddenly, a fist made hard contact with his face. Silver spat up blood. He looked up from the ground. He expected it to be Luna, but of course, it wasn't.

"Looks like you just ran out of luck." The girl wore a cruel smile. "So you took out my incompetent co-workers, but they are going to feel like a pithy summer's breeze when I'm done with you. You're going to wish you hadn't left New Bark, Silver."

"Where is she?" Silver asked, recovering from her punch.

"Who? You're pathetic mother Ariana? Maybe I know, maybe I don't. Why do you care? She left you with Professor Moron and his wretch because she knew that you were weak."

"Elm and his wife were better parents then she could be in an eternity." Silver growled.

"Silver!" A voice echoed again.

"Better go find your girlfriend." The girl taunted.

"Only a complete moron would turn their back on a member of Team Rocket." Silver glared.

"Oh, so you do have some brains left. Maybe you should try to use them more often." He had to admit, her insults were better than Luna's. She was actually getting on his nerves. Suddenly, Cinder attacked something behind them. A Rattata jumped forward. When had she released it? Had it been there the entire time? She threw a Pokeball as hard as she could at Silver's head. When it didn't hit, it released a Koffing.

"Two on one?" Silver muttered. He reached for Pidge's Pokeball. Silver released the pokemon that was in the ball his hand was on, but it wasn't Pidge. The small ball of wool looked around at her new surroundings. Once Bow understood what was happening, she waited for orders. Electricity sparked around her fleece. "Tackle." Bow lunged towards Koffing while Cinder attacked Rattata. Koffing released a cloud of poison gas and in a matter of seconds, Bow was nowhere in sight. Silver released Pidge from his ball. "Use gust and find Bow." The Pidgey executed the demand. Cinder continued to fight. He used Ember on the Rattata.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! Stupid Rattata, use quick attack!" The girl yelled. The Rattata ran at a speed that made it look invisible, but the Rattata didn't hit Cinder.

When the purple gas finally cleared, Luna could see a Koffing, a Pidgey, and a Mareep. She recognized the Mareep as Bow, but she had no clue who the Pidgey and Koffing belonged to. Growlithe could apparently tell who the threat was because it jumped into the fight. Growlithe used flame wheel on the Koffing causing it to faint.

"Growlithe!" The puppy pokemon shouted.

"Pidgey." Pidgey answered. Growlithe ran farther ahead. A loud cry echoed through the cave.

"Silver!" Luna shouted. She quickly followed the three pokemon, Tot still behind her. A Pokemon used ember and a Rattata cried out. Luna could see Growlithe guarding a girl wearing a Team Rocket uniform while Pidgey, Bow, and Cinder crowded around Silver. "Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" Luna asked, rushing over.

"Since when do you care so much about me?" Silver asked. Luna tried to offer her hand, but Silver slapped it away. Shocked, Luna stepped back. Officer Jenny ran up.

"Good boy." She smiled and rushed over to Growlithe. Jenny pulled out a pair of handcuffs and put them on the girl. "This everyone?"

"Yes." Silver answered, standing up and returning his pokemon to their balls.

"So who are you?" Jenny asked.

"My name is Silver. I'm the son of Professor Elm." He answered.

"Don't lie to an officer of the law. You and I both know that Professor Elm doesn't have a son." Jenny blurted. Silver stared at her and looked to Luna. She smiled and nodded. "Let's get these jailbirds out of here." She ordered.

"What happened to the others?" Luna asked.

"Handcuffed them together. Normally I don't have these many pairs of handcuffs on me, but if there is one rat, there's a whole nest." Jenny answered. She looked over at Silver. "You and I are going to have a talk later." Silver looked at the ground and didn't say a word. It made Luna curious. What were they going to talk about? She knew something that Luna didn't. Although, according to Silver, there was a lot that she didn't know.

As Luna, Jenny, and Silver walked back to the ladder out of the well, She looked at her hand. Silver had slapped it away when she tried to help. "Luna." Silver called. She looked from her hand to him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. That Proton had been getting on my nerves."

"Forget it." She told him. Silver walked ahead of her and Luna looked at his feet. He wasn't walking normally, Silver was limping and his sock was stained red. Blood, Silver was bleeding. What had happened? Why was he bleeding? How much did it hurt?

Luna sat on the couch, waiting for her pokemon to heal. Silver and Officer Jenny were talking in another room. "Here are your pokemon." Nurse Joy smiled, handing her Tot and Bell's pokeballs.

"Thank you." She put them in her bag. The sleeping pills caught her eyes again. She quickly closed her bag. She needed to get rid of them. She looked over to the room Silver was in. Quickly, she opened the bag and grabbed the pills. Luna got up and walked over to a trash can. She was about to drop them in the trash when the door opened.

"You should tell her the truth. It will make you feel better."

"Are you kidding? She'll kill me." Panicked, Luna shoved the pills back into her bag. She quickly zipped it up and walked back over to the couch. Jenny walked over to Luna and sat down.

"Thank you for your help, Luna. From what we got from Silver and from the members of Team Rocket, we can figure out where others are."

"What happened to the Pokemon?" Luna asked.

"Silver asked the same thing. We are planning on releasing them back to the wild." Jenny smiled. "It's nice that you two care so much about pokemon. A lot of people just see them as tools these days. It makes me have more respect for the people who see pokemon as friends and family. Good luck with your Journeys." Jenny walked out of the pokemon center.

"How's your leg?" Luna asked.

"You noticed!" He joked. Luna lightly hit him. "It's fine. It stopped bleeding a while ago." Silver sat down. Luna looked at the ground. It had been a long and confusing day. They had caught four members of Team Rocket and Luna discovered she knew nothing about Silver. "Jenny suggested I tell you the truth. I'm still trying to figure out how much to tell you."

"Are you really related to Professor Elm?" Luna asked.

"No. The only condition I have to Elm is the fact that he is my guardian. I have no idea where my real parents are." Silver answered.

"Why did you harass Hannah?"

"I've never harassed her. I don't know who told what, but I have never done anything to hurt or upset your sister. Is that why you hate me?"

"One of the reasons. Was that Pidgey in the well yours?"

"You mean Pidge? Yep. I caught him on Route 29."

"Who are your parents?" Luna asked. Silver stared at her. He didn't say anything. "The figuring out how much to tell me part? Fine don't tell me. I'm going to bed." Luna stood up and she walked over to the room that Nurse Joy had given her to stay in. She put her bag on the table and laid down in bed.

Silver continued to stare at the place Luna was earlier. He couldn't tell her that much. He didn't care if she hated him, he could live with that. But if she was scared of him? Silver didn't think he could handle someone being scared of him. Would she be scared? Probably. Would she show him the pity everyone else in New Bark did? Not Likely. No one besides Elm, and now Jenny, knew who his parents were. Silver wanted to keep it that way. "This is all your fault. This isn't mine, it's yours." He muttered. "I will find you and I will make you pay."

Marill ran around in circles as Ethan laid down. He admired his new badge. He had beaten Morty early that day. Now he and his team were resting the Ecruteak City Pokemon Center. Tomorrow, he was heading to Olivine City to challenge Jasmine. He was getting close he needed two more badges. Once he beat the Champion, he could say it. She would have to say yes, right? Ethan turned on his radio. Mary and Oak were still on from their earlier report. "The current champion has stepped down after being beat by newcomer, Lance. He seems to specialize in Dragon-types. Hope you new trainers are ready. Lance is going to be the one to beat. Good Luck."

"Marill?" His pokemon questioned.

" Don't worry. We're going to win." Ethan smiled.
