So, I forget to mention that I had a guest in chapter 7. The boy that Luna saw in the Pokemon Center is a friend of mine. He is very passionate about Pokemon and loves to draw. He asked to be added in the Fan Fic as a trainer. He won't be appearing in this chapter, but Chapter 7 wasn't the last time you'll see him. Just thought I would mention that. Anyway, I had a lot of fun writing this chapter and I hope you enjoy it.

"Why is called the Hive badge? It looks more like the back of Ledyba than a hive to me." Silver asked.

"I don't know, go ask Bugsy. I just try to get through the Ilex Forest so I can get to Goldenrod." Luna answered. After barely defeating Bugsy, Luna and Silver had started to walk through Ilex Forest. Silver, who hadn't had any trouble defeating Bugsy, was tagging along.
The sun was starting to set and it was already really dark because the trees blocked out most of the sunlight. "Dang it. Come on Farfetch'd. Just come to me already." A voice spoke. Hiding behind a tree was a young man. Two Farfetch'd stood, very alert, over in a small clearing. Silver walked over to him.
"Are you okay?" He asked. The man jumped and turned towards Silver.
"Don't scare me like that, it's dark." He whisper shouted.
"Sorry." Silver replied. The man sighed and turned back to the two pokemon.
"My Farfetch'd just won't come back for some reason. I tried to sneak up on them, but every time I do, they see me and go running. Do you think you could help me get them back? I'll give you an HM if you help me."
"Sure, if it's for an HM." Silver smiled. "Luna, will you hold my stuff?" Luna glared at him.
"How do you know I won't steal anything from you?"
"That's my line." He joked, handing her his bag and the man gave him two pokeballs. Luna smiled. She had completely forgotten that he had stolen Cyndaquil from Professor Elm.
Luna watched as Silver moved towards the first Farfetch'd. He didn't seem to worry about any of the sticks, in fact, it almost looked like he was using them to his advantage. Every time he stepped on one the Farfetch'd looked towards the sound. After a minute, Silver was right behind the first Farfetch'd. He pulled out the Pokeball and returned the pokemon to it. Then Silver did the same thing to the second.
"Thank you so much! I was worried I wasn't going to get them back." The young man thanked as Silver gave him back the pokeballs. "As I promised. Here's HM01, Cut. Thanks again." The man walked back towards Azalea City.
"Cool. If I remember correctly, It has enough power for both our pokemon to learn it. Of course, you'll have to teach Tot because Bell can't use any of the HMs. I have to teach Cinder because Pidge can only learn Fly."
"Okay. Let's just hurry up. It's getting darker. We should probably set up camp." Luna stated.
"Yeah, but we have to be really careful. I don't Celebi would like it very much if we caught it's forest on fire." Silver agreed. Luna had heard of the legend pokemon Celebi. Some people said that it was the protector of the Ilex Forest and that it had left behind an egg that it brought from the future.
"We still have some light. Let's try to get to the end of this forest." Luna told him. He nodded and the two walked farther through the forest. When they made it to the end, the star's were out and Luna could see the lights of Goldenrod City.
She sat down next to a tree. They were so close, but she was too tired to even bother going to the Pokemon Center. She was just glad she could see the stars. "I'll start dinner. What kind of food do your pokemon like?" He asked releasing Pidge, Bow, and Cinder.
"Tot likes anything that isn't sweet. I don't know about Bell. Just try something."
"I'll give her something sweet and hope that she likes it." Luna released her pokemon and started the stars while Silver cooked. When it was done, the pokemon rushed over to their dinner and Silver handed Luna some food.
"I hope you're okay with spicy food. I added too much seasoning."
"It's fine. Emily used to make Ethan and I eat whatever she brought from home. The best day of school was when the principal called her up and told her to stop."
"Didn't Ethan get sick that day?"
"Yep, that why he told her to stop. Ethan was out for the rest of the week."
"How did he get sick again?"
"Emily was making pokemon food at the same time and it got mixed in. There was another time when she brought Apricorn juice for our class."
"I remember that! She dyed everyone's mouths green." They laughed. After Luna finished her food, she put her plate aside and looked back up the stars. She could see the constellation of Sunflora that was directly above them.
"Luna, do you like the stars?" Silver asked. Luna smiled as she nodded.
"They're beautiful. Don't you think? They shine brighter the darker it is. They're kinda like hope."
"Wow, that was corny." Silver joked and Luna lightly hit him. "So what are the summer constellations?"
"Most of them are water type pokemon like Lapras or Goldeen. There are some others. The one right there is Staryu. Up there is Sunflora and next to that is Sunkern."


Silver smiled as Luna pointed out and named the constellations. "There are a bunch more, but you can only see them at certain times." Luna smiled. She seemed so happy. It was almost scary how happy she was. The name Luna fit her, being that it means Moon. "I use to do this all the time with Hannah. We would go out and look at all the stars with mom and sometimes with…" She paused and her face fell. "With dad. He's the one who taught me about the stars and different constellations."
"I'm sorry about your dad Luna." Silver spoke.
"Don't be. He was almost never home anyway. It was until Red beat him that he started coming home more often. He was a dope anyway." Luna spoke, hugging her knees.
After an hour more of staring at the stars, Luna finally fell asleep. Silver leaned against the side of a tree. Ethan was lucky. He got to see this side of Luna all the time. He was always with her. Ethan, Luna, and Emily were friends. They played together, studied together, and hung out with each other. What was Silver doing during all of that? He was sitting in front of a window waiting for his mom to come back. His mother who had left him with Elm when he was seven. The closest thing he had had to a real family was Elm and his wife. He life was just jacked up. One of the executives of Team Rocket was his mother. She used him and then left.
Without realizing it, Silver had tears rolling down his face and his hands clenched into a fist. He stood up and started to walk back into the Ilex Forest. He wanted to yell without waking up Luna. Once he was a good distance away, Silver screamed, "WHAT KIND OF SICK PERSON LEAVES HER ONLY SON ALONE TO HURT POKEMON?"
"The kind who expected more." A voice spoke. It was too familiar to be a dream. "You are one hell of a disappointment Silver. You don't stand a chance against me and you know what they say, If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
"Where are you?" Silver glared.
"Everywhere, if you were smarter, you would have figured that out already. Why do you still fight? Pokemon are just tools for humanity. You belong to the team." A black uniform landed in front of him. "I'm waiting Silver, don't make me kill them." A scream echoed through the air.
"Luna." He gasped. Silver ran as fast as his legs would carry him back to their camp. Luna sat, hugging her knees, crying. "Luna?" Her leg shot out and hit him.
"Where the hell were you? You scared me damn it!" She shouted. "I thought something had happened to you."
"Luna, I'm sorry." He started. "I heard something so I went to find it."
"Whatever. Just go to sleep." Luna ordered. Silver sat down and laid against the tree.
"Did you scream because I was gone, or was it something else?" Silver questioned.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Luna answered, quickly. She was hiding something, but Silver wasn't going to badger her. He couldn't sleep. He was worried about Luna. Ariana had hurt people before, innocent people. It wasn't even a question whether she would hurt Luna or anyone else he cared about of that matter.
The black uniform fell from the tree and landed in front of him, this time with a note, "Don't make me start with her."

So... Luna and Silver had a great night and this isn't the end. I haven't decided yet, but I think that this story is only going to go as far as Johto. I may or may not write another story for Kanto with Luna and Silver. Anyway, I'm going to stop talking now. Have a good day and I'll see you next time I put out a chapter.
