SO... I have been gone for a while... Sorry. School started back up and it's stressing me out. As for an excuse for the summer... I don't have one. I'm already working on Chapter 13. I promise it will be out as soon as it's done and edited. Anyways, enjoy the chapter.

Silver had to have knocked on Luna's door five times. Why wasn't she answering it? Was she still upset with what had happened last night? He knocked again. "Luna, come on. We need to get going." He called.

"I believe she already left." Nurse Joy spoke.

"What? When?" He questioned.

"It was pretty early. I think she said she would come back though." She answered. Luna would come back? Was that true? Where the heck was she anyway?

"Thanks, Nurse Joy." Silver told her.

"You're welcome." She smiled and went back to work. He walked into the lobby and sat down. How long would it take for her to come back?

"Oh, you're already up?" A voice asked. Silver turned around to see Luna behind him. She was holding an Eevee in her arms. It was trying to bury its head in her chest.

"Where the were you?" Silver asked, standing up.

"I went to get my Pokeball from Kurt. I didn't know if you wanted to go back so I woke up early and went to get it." She answered. They started to walk out of the Pokemon Center.

"So is that the pokemon your dad gave you?" He asked pointing to the Eevee.

Luna nodded. "This is Gin, which reminds me, do you have any more sweet pokepuffs?" Silver dug in his bag and pulled out a pokepuff. She took it from him and tried to give it to Gin. The small brown pokemon sniffed it and then started to eat the pokepuff. "He's pretty shy. Gin hid under my bed last night for about half an hour."

"Why'd you name him Gin?" Silver asked.

Luna blushed slightly and turned away. "It just felt right."

"Well, at least he's used to you already." Silver pointed out.

"Let's just hope he doesn't get scared and run off." Luna giggled. Silver gave her a light chuckle. "I'm almost out of pokeballs and potions. Can we head over to the Department store?"

"Sure. It might be better if you put Gin back in his Pokeball. The store is probably going to be crowded and if he's that shy, he'll cause trouble."

"Yeah, you're right." Luna returned the Eevee to its Pokeball and then they walked into the department store. The lobby had people and other trainers sitting around talking or waiting for an elevator. "There are six floors, only four of them have shops on them. The sixth floor has a lottery so we don't need to go up there unless you want to test your luck." Silver looked at Luna. How'd she known all of that? "I talked with Hannah this morning. Professor Elm tells her a lot about Johto."

"How is your sister?" Silver asked as they pushed their way onto the escalator.

"She's doing well." Luna smiled. "She's been trying to keep busy so she helps Elm out with whatever she can."

"That's good. Oh, if you see any HMs in the shops let me know. We're going to need them. They make traveling a heck of a lot easier." He replied.

"Okay." They grabbed some supplies and went to pay for it.

"So, is there anything else that you want to do before we started heading for Ecruteak City?" Silver asked as they started to walk out.

"Hmm? Well, there a medicine shop under the city. Hannah told me that the medicine they sell is pretty bitter though so if we do get some we shouldn't get very much." She told him. "We already did a lot of the things to do here with Whitney yesterday."

"Yeah, she dragged us around a lot yesterday." Silver growled. It made Luna giggled. They started to head to the tunnel. Silver wondered if she would tell him about the pills. The real reason she had them. Did he want to risk ticking her off again?

"Hey, so about last night…" She started. "I'm sorry I blew up at you."

"It's okay." He replied. "If you wouldn't mind, why do you have sleeping pills in your bag?"

"When Hannah started having surgeries and when she stayed at hospitals overnight, I wouldn't sleep. It got to the point where I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to. I developed insomnia. My mom talked to one of the doctors at a hospital during one of Hannah's surgeries and he gave me the pills."

"You've been sleeping just fine and I haven't seen you take a single pill. What's up with that?"

"I don't know. I was thinking about that last night." The two of them continued to talk as they walked down the stairs. Silver felt a pair of eyes watching them. A woman smoking in the corner caught his eye. He tried to look straight ahead. "Keep a Pokeball within reach and keep your eyes open." Silver whispered. Luna nodded.

"It looks like she's not working today," Luna spoke, looking at an empty table. Silver looked back to the corner. The smoking woman was no longer there.

A chill ran down her spine. Luna noticed Silver quickly look behind them. He looked stressed. Earlier, Luna had felt someone staring at her. Their stare felt cold and dangerous. Silver must have noticed it as well, possibly even better then she had. "We need to get out of here. Slap me later." Silver suddenly grabbed Luna's hand. Luna's face felt warm as Silver picked up his pace. They climbed up the tunnel stairs and came out next to the name rater's tent. They started to walk to the next route. "I'm sorry Luna."

"Don't apologize. The shop wasn't open anyway." Luna told him.

"That person. She was a member of Team Rocket." Silver whispered. Luna's blood ran cold. Team Rocket? What did they want with them? Besides the events in the Slowpoke Well, the two didn't do anything to them. Luna's traveled back to the well. The look on Silver's face down there. There had to be some sort of past between Silver and Team Rocket.

Luna's stomach growled and it pulled her away from her thoughts. She hadn't eaten anything since she woke up. Silver laughed at her. "Maybe we should stop for some lunch."

"Ah, yeah. Sounds good." Luna blushed. Silver let go of her hand and started to pull food out of his bag. Luna had been so focused that she hadn't realized that they were still holding hands. Luna pulled out her pokeballs and released Tot and Bell. She sat down before releasing Gin who just crawled into her lap. "Want me to release Cinder and the others for you?" She asked.

"Sure." Silver replied, putting sandwiches together. Luna pulled his balls out of the bag and released his pokemon. Pidge perched itself on Silver's shoulder while Cinder and Bow ran over to Tot and Bell. Gin tried to hide whenever another Pokemon came over to him. Finally, Silver finished making everyone food and handed the pokemon their lunch.

"Gin, do you want one?" Luna asked, holding out a pokepuff. The Eevee sniffed it before taking a bite. Silver sat down next to them and handed her a sandwich. "Thanks." Gin started to fall asleep in her lap.

"You're welcome. Is it okay if I pet him?" Silver asked after taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Sure, if he'll let you. Careful with his ears." Luna told him. Carefully, Silver placed his hand on Gin's back. The pokemon's eyes shot open and turned to look at Silver. As Silver pet him, Gin started to relax and then when back to sleep. Their other pokemon moved towards the shade of the trees to shield themselves from the midday July sun. Cinder stayed in the sun, seemingly enjoying the heat. "He trusted you quicker than he trusted me." She lamented.

"It's probably because you trust me. Gin knows that I'm a friend of its master." Silver assumed.

Luna stuck out her tongue. "You want to hold him? I've got to stand up and stretch." He nodded and meticulously moved Gin from her lap to his. Luna stood up and stretched her arms out. "Tot! Bell! Come on, let's get some practice in." She called. Her pokemon came running over and got ready to battle.

I'M WORKING ON THE NEXT CHAPTER I PROMISE! I'M SORRY! Until next time you guys (which is hopefully soon)
