I've got another chapter for you guys. It longer than last chapter, but it not as long as some of the others. I hope you guys like it. We get to Emily and Ethan!

"I wonder how she's doing." Ethan wondered. Marill ran around him. He sat down on a bench and Marill jumped up next to him. He was supposed to be on his way to Olivine City to get Jasmine's badge, but he couldn't focus. What was she doing with Silver? Luna hated the guy. So why was she traveling with him; it made no sense to Ethan. Silver was going to get her killed. Team Rocket's activity had grown in the past years, everyone knew that. They had grown more violent, they didn't just hurt pokemon or steal anymore. Whether Silver was one of them or not, he was putting Luna at risk.

Marill leaned against him and Ethan smiled. He needed to have faith in her. Luna was smart. She would know when to get out of there and then there was her pokemon. Totodiles were protective types. He wouldn't let anything happen to her without a good fight. But then again….

Ethan shook it off. He would get nowhere worrying about her. He needed to focus on getting the badges. Once he did that he could finally do it.

"Ethan?" He looked up. Emily stood in front of him, confused. "I thought you said you where in Ecruteak, what are you doing here?" She asked, sitting down next to him. Marill jumped into her lap and she giggled.

"Oh, well I found something I thought my grandmother would like so I came back to give it to her. I should be in Olivine City, but I think I could use a rest." He answered.

Emily nodded and smiled. "Have you heard anything from Luna? I'm kinda worried about her being so far from home."

"Yeah, I actually saw her earlier today at my grandparent's. She had a fever then, but she seemed to be okay when I left."

"That's good. Is she traveling with anyone or is she on her own?"

"Nope, she's by herself." He lied. He didn't want Emily to know about Silver.

"Hmm. Well, maybe I should go with her then."

"NO!" He shouted. Emily tilted her head. Ethan cleared his throat. "I already invited her to travel with me. She said she wanted to go alone."

Emily smirked. "Maybe it's just because you're a guy. Maybe she knows about your feeling towards her." She playfully hit him.

"No, I don't think it that." He sighed. He wished she knew. Luna was so dense when it came to love. A thought rushed into his head. What if… what if she fell in love with him? What if that was why… Holy Ho-oh. "I'm gonna go Emily. It was nice talking to you. Good luck." He stood up and Marill jumped off Emily's lap.

"Good luck to you too, lover boy." She giggled.

"I don't think that we'll make it to Ecruteak City before dark so unless you want to go camping, we should probably stay here. Plus I think your pokemon could use a break after that fight." Silver informed as Luna fell onto the couch. She looked totally exhausted which didn't surprise Silver. She had nearly lost her battle with Whitney. He hated Miltanks, it was final.

"I don't care what we do, I just want to sleep." She moaned.

Nurse Joy walked over with six pokeballs. "Your pokemon are all healed. That Eevee is quite timid." Silver raised his brow. Was that what was in Luna's new Pokeball?

Luna took her pokeballs and stared at one."So you're in Eevee, huh. Dad remembered." She let out a light chuckle before putting it in her bag. Something in her bag caught Silver's eyes. There was a clear bottle of pills. What were they for? Why did she have them? "So are we staying the night or are we camping, Silver?" Luna asked.

"I don't know. I could care less when we get to Ecruteak City as long as we get there." He answered. That was a slight lie. The sooner he got to Ecruteak City, the better. It was one cave away from Mahogany Town where Team Rocket supposedly had a hideout.

"Then let's just rest here. Nurse Joy, do you have rooms we can stay in?" Luna asked.

Nurse Joy nodded. "Yes, I'll get two rooms set up for you." She walked off and Silver sat down in an armchair. He wanted to ask her about the pills. He wanted answers.

Luna looked up at him. "What?"

"Nothing, I'm just wondering if you feel any better." Silver lied.

Luna nodded. "Yeah, much. Thanks."

"You're welcome." He replied. "What with the pills?" He asked, keeping a straight face.

Luna went pale. "What pills?" She smiled.

"The pills in your bag. What are they for?"

"Those are Hannah's. I guess I never took them out." She was lying. He knew she was. Maybe he could get more out of her, even if it was just a little.

"Then why were you hiding them? What are they for?"

"They're sleeping pills, alright?" She snapped. "Now shut up and leave me alone." Luna stood up and stormed off. Nurse Joy stopped her and they talked before Luna thanked her and went down a hall. Nurse Joy walked over to him.

"Your room is ready. It's room number 4, right across from your friend." She smiled.

"Thank you." Nurse Joy walked over to her desk and went back to her work. Silver slumped in the chair. He had gotten answers, but he had also pissed Luna off again.

Luna threw the bottle of pills against the wall. The lid popped off and they spilled onto the floor. She cursed and went to put them back into the bottle. He'd seen them and he knew she had been lying. She would never have forgotten to take any of Hannah's medicine out of her bag. She should have thrown them away when she had the chance, but now he knew. She shouldn't have even brought them. Luna hadn't used a single one since she left. Luna stopped and stared at them.

She hadn't used a single pill since she started her journey. Why? Why hadn't she needed to use even one? Normally, she eventually caved and took a least one in a week, but she hadn't even opened the bottle since leaving home. Was it because Hannah wasn't there? Luna sighed and put the bottle back in her bag. It didn't matter why she didn't need them. She didn't have a reason to hide them anymore since Silver knew.

Luna picked up the Pokeball her father had given her. An Eevee. That's what Nurse Joy had said he was. She released it. The small pokemon stared at her for a second before running under the bed. "Gin, come on out. It's okay." She called. Luna peered under the bed to see the Eevee cowering in the corner. Timid pokemon liked sweet food. She searched through her bag for one of Silver's disgusting pokepuffs. She didn't have any and she couldn't go ask Silver for one. She was stuck. Why didn't she keep the box she had gotten on Route 30? Two of her pokemon liked sweet food.

"Eevee!" The pokemon cried.

"Gin, it's okay. Come here." The pokemon stepped towards her and then ran back to the corner. Her dad was right about it causing trouble. It was a good thing she didn't release Gin in the city. She never would have gotten him back.

Luna gave up and went to lock the door. Gin would come out when he was ready. Luna laid down and closed her eyes. A warm fuzzy body curled up next to her bare feet.

So... if you couldn't tell Luna has named her new pokemon Gin. He's a bit shy, but he already warming up to Luna. Until next time.
