K.M: Congratulations, you've managed to get the level three, but it seems we've got a boss level, it's called "oh my goodness we're moving!"!

Thanks for your reviews, they were really helpful, I need to work a little more on my writing, but your tips really great!

With that to the side, I'm surprised I've gotten so far, if you knew me you'd know I'm super lazy, and probably would have given up all this in like a week or something, but I'm not! Cause I'm no quitter... That didn't feel as enthusiastic as it should have...

K.M: disclaimer!

Zorua: Pokemon doesn't belong to Kitty Master!

K.M: Because...

Zorua: Oh! Because if it did Ash wouldn't be such a loser! By the way, Momma belongs to KM!

Kunie: I give up...

K.M: Good, you were losing pretty bad...

2 years later

I woke up in the morning...to find a fox paw shoved in my eyeball, two years ago I would be trying not to scream, shout, and/or rip the fox to pieces...but I wasn't that person anymore...But it was becoming very, very, very hard not to do it right now...and it was very, very, VERY tempting... I still wasn't happy about the "ghost Pokemon in the house" prank he had played on my parents and me a few days back.

It seemed that the fox had gained a little bit of a trouble-making streak in the last two years.

Which wasn't very helpful when your really need to get things done. Take last year for instance.

Imagine just sitting down at school, lunch in front of you, when you open the box, poof! You find a nice variety of paint in your face, your lunch was switched out... Not cool... Now you have no lunch...

Now imagine going to go to the park to play ball, now imagine picking up the ball you were going to take with you, pop! It was a fake, and now you had a wide variety of paint from head to toe... Now you have to take a bath...

Now imagine doing a test, oh! look! your pencil is broken, you reach into your bag for a sharpener, smack! A very small, and very black and red fox seems to have thrown paint balloons in your face... Now not only are you covered in paint from head to toe, but you also have your test ruined, everyone at school is laughing at you, and you got in trouble with the teacher for ruining the test by bringing your Pokemon to school... Isn't that great?!

Now that I think about it...he has a very annoying fascination with paint...makes me wonder where he's getting it all...

But other than that... There have been some upsides. I had finally gotten the fox to stop calling me "Momma", which I was actually very proud of, he had also grown a bit, I remember when I could easily fit two of him in the crook of my arm, but now he had grown, about a foot tall, probably taller, not that I'd know, what's it matter how tall he is?

...

Okay that's a lie, he's 2'5, much bigger than he used to be, but still as annoying, probably worse.

As for me, I had grown out of the bad habit of calling mom, and dad... Mommy, and Daddy, thinking back on it now, it looks pretty embarrassing, I didn't know any other kid that ever called their parents mommy, and daddy, and to know that I did caused me to immediately drop the names. School otherwise was so-so, I knew people, I was acquainted, the only friends I had was the soccer team, and even then I never really hang out with them out of the field, I preferred to practice over playing around, which was why I got a long great with Yuri, Haku, and Luca.

They were what I would call my best friends, they didn't really care if I was seven years younger or not, to them I was part of the gang, that was it. Yuri was the cheery best friend that wouldn't leave you alone, no matter how much you pleaded, but was super cool overall, and really helpful with anything. Luca was polite, but sweet, and probably the handsome one (I wouldn't know as I saw him like a big brother), he was kind to the point that he couldn't tell his fan-girls to buzz off when we were playing, as such they stuck around, which was kind of annoying. Haku, as Yuri said when we first met, was a giant Ursaring, looked big and scary, but wasn't, inside he was nothing but a cute Teddiursa, he was a little rough around the edges, but inside a big softie, he was the one that secretly took me out for ice cream, and took us to the amusement parks, I think he was hiding the fact that he was rich, because that guy never seemed to run out of money.

Secretly he was my favorite of the trio.

I mused out of my thoughts when I looked at the clock, two minutes away from blaring, I got up and turned it off.

I clambered over the still sleeping Pokemon, collecting my school uniform and my tote bag as I went, I went to the lower room and out the door, yawning tiredly I made me way to the hallway bathroom, I took a quick shower, internally longing for a longer shower, brushed both teeth and hair, and then finished off with getting dressed.

Fixing up my uniform I looked at myself in the mirror, Caucasian skin, shoulder-length black hair, with long bangs covering my left eye, Large green eyes, a small nose, and a small pink scar over my right eye, by now it had healed and I didn't need to put medication on it, but it still stung a little, not many people knew it, but I could hardly see out of my right eye, and often I would get headaches from it. My hand ghosted over my left eye, covering my vision, contemplating cutting my bangs instead of walking around half-blind, it seemed kind of stupid, but it kept mommy and daddy from crowding around me worriedly, well..that and I didn't lose my cool look.

Mom and dad didn't exactly know about my near blindness, they merely knew what the doctor told them would happen.

I sighed as I got out of the bathroom, "Kunie!" I screamed in shock and fell backwards, I grunted when my bum hit the floor, "good morning!" I glared at the fox that was giving me a huge sweet smile, honestly he was going to give me cavities or something. I stood up and shook my clothes off, "you're staying here," I said sternly, "stay with Kunie all day!" he jumped up and down, my eye twitched, "no! you're staying alone, I have to go to school, and mom and dad have to work, so you stay here!" his ears dropped and the smile fell from his face, "alone...?" he whispered, looking down, I blinked, "you'll be fine, I'm leaving food and water, so as long as you don't eat it right away you'll be fine..." I said after a pause, he still looked at the floor desolately, I sighed, "look...I'll be back soon, and I'll play with you..." He's bipolar, I just know he is... he happily rubbed his head to my ankle, "oi! oi! stop being so dramatic, I just said I'd play with you, not give you a million dollars, sheesh!"

I ran down the stairs with Zorua at my heels, I still hadn't given him a name, mostly because mom and dad had shunned any name I came up with, I mean they weren't that bad, Brat, Rascal, Annoyance, see? They were all pretty good! Well...at least better than the ones they came up with, but even then they refused to let me name him, so I just called him Zorua, or fox, mom, and dad though came up with a different name every day, all of which I refuse to call him.

"Spot?" Mom asked as I walked into the kitchen.

"No." I clipped, putting some Oni in my plate, I dipped it in the soy sauce and took a small bite.

"How about Rufus?" Dad jumped in.

I shoved the food in my cheek to talk, "No." I thought about how silly it was to call a Pokemon Rufus.

A long pause. We ate breakfast silently.

"Hajime?" Dad whispered as he sipped his coffee, making it look like he said nothing.

"NO!" I huffed, losing my patience.

"Really? I actually like that one." Mom said as she rubbed Zorua's head, I felt like pulling out my hair, I heard mom, and dad chuckle, wide smiles on their faces, I rolled my eyes at their antics, dad put the newspaper down, and gulped the rest of his coffee, he gave me a quick nervous glance, I looked at him suspiciously, "well I need to get to work. Bye." he pecked mom on the lips before kissing the top of my head, I sighed, "bye dad, have a good day at work." I droned, having said it every day, "and you at school." he called back as he put on his shoes and closed the door with a thud. "I should get to work too." Mom said as she quickly packed everything in the fridge, and ran upstairs to change for work, she didn't know it, but I preferred it when she was a stay-at-home mom, because it meant she would be at home making supper when I got back, but the bills had been growing.

"Okay." I simply said as I got up and cleaned my dish, I ran to the door and put on my shoes, I grabbed my bag and turned, "I'm going now!" I called out, "bye sweetie!" mom called from the top of the stairs, "bye Kunie, see you after school." Zorua said, I narrowed my eyes at him, he was strangely quiet, he was definitely planning a prank, "bye..." I said as I looked at him.

He only grinned innocently.

When I got home I was unpleasantly surprised by Zorua having somehow turned the furniture upside down, the brat...I had chased him around the house for a while (he thought his trick was funny, and also it was "fun" that I was chasing him) before getting to the job of putting everything how it was supposed to be, which took me a while, by then mom and dad were already back home, I knew I wouldn't get to hang out with the gang at the park today, which left me in a bit of a bad mood.

So now I was taking a long-deserved break, watching a soccer game, Zorua was next to me, either nipping at my fingers that were on the remote, or dozing off.

"Kunie?" dad called, I raised my head from the couch, "yeah dad?" I called out, Zorua looking up as well, "we need to talk?" uh oh, "uh oh..." Zorua repeated my thoughts, when a parent said that it usually spelled the worse, I got up and walked to him, he was in the dining room, mom was there too, double uh oh, did I get a bad grade or something? Not that I remember. He motioned me to sit down, I sat on my chair, Zorua climbed up to my lap, for once I let him stay, if I was gonna get a lecture I would want to have the double-puppy-eyes combo in my arsenal.

"So, what's up?" I asked as I absentmindedly pet Zorua, dad look a little nervous, uncomfortable, mom seemed to be forcing a smile, dad didn't say anything, so mom spoke up, "honey? well...you see, your dad got a job offer." I looked at him in confusion, "but... you're a museum guide, who offered you a job?" the big question, dad sighed and ran his fingers to his hair, I got a job from a traveling Pokemon scientist's assistant," I frowned, hugging Zorua closer, "is the pay good?" I asked, dad smile, "oh yeah, real good, three times what I'm getting now." I smiled, "then why don't you take the job?" I was really confused, it seemed this job was good for the whole family, I knew we had been struggling when dad had been an explorer (he wasn't that good), so having him be a museum guide had given him more stability at home and also cemented the piling bills, that and he had more time at home, but him getting an even better job? It would pay off all the bills for the next four years or something, "...because..." Mom started, then stopped, looking at me worriedly, "we want you to make the choice of...whether he should take this job or not." I frowned, "Why? you don't need my permission." I said with a shrug, "Kunie..." he started gently, he took my hand, it was then that I knew what he was gonna say, "if I take this job, the family will have to move to Unova."

Oh...

The hand in Zorua's fur clenched, "oh..."

Mom and dad both looked at me worriedly. On one hand I could say no, we stayed here, mom, and dad would both keep working, I'd get to stay in the soccer team, and keep hanging out with the gang, on the other hand... I'd be moving to a place filled with Pokemon, more than this town, mom would be a stay-at-home mom again, and our family would have spare money for any emergency, "w-where?" I asked weakly, "Nuvema town..." dad said softly, "think about it, you'd get a better chance of getting into a good college," mom said gently with a smile, "and the town is small so you'd have close friends." dad joined in the convincing, I knew then I couldn't really say no.

"Yeah sure, I don't really care where we live, and it sounds cool." I said smoothly, putting a smirk, "honestly, I don't know why you two were so serious." they both breathed sighs of relief, laughing softly, "well we didn't want to make the decision without giving you a choice in this." dad said honestly, I smirked and held up Zorua, "what about him? does he get a choice?" dad smirked, "Unova is actually Zorua's birth home..."

...

...

*insert bad language*

There would be a bunch of those little rodents running around?! You have to be kidding me!

I paled as Zorua fell from my grasp.

I already regretted my decision, Zorua only smiled at me sweetly, I narrowed my eyes at him, then my eyes widened in realization.

He knew...this whole time...

THE BRAT!

I walked sadly to the field, Zorua following, if there was one thing I'd miss, it'd be the field...

"Hey Kunie!"

Oh yeah... and the guys too.

I turned and smiled, picking up the excitable Zorua, I didn't want him scaring the guys off with a prank, he did it once, I didn't want it to happen again, "hey! You weren't here yesterday... uh, what's that look for?" Yuri the ever so vigilant one caught my sad look, "are you alright Kunie?" I smiled at him, Zorua was actually talking quite a bit, making it hard to hear them, "I'm moving away." all three's smiles fell (except Haku's obviously! He never had one) "WHAT?! Why?" Yuri wailed as he looked at me heartbroken, "my dad got a job offer..." I shrugged, "can't you stay here with your mom?" Luca asked worriedly, I shook my head, "I'd be separating up the family for no reason." I said as I rubbed Zorua's head, he whined, looking at me with wide blue eyes, I blinked, and held him closer.

I looked at Haku to see his expression, it wasn't any different than it usually was...he didn't seem to care...

I looked to the other two, too upset to look at Haku.

"How about one last game?" I asked with a shrug, the two smiled sadly and nodded, I placed Zorua at the bench, telling him to cheer if he wanted to. At the end of the game we were all sweating, but smiling, I had fun, it only made my chest ache even more, I looked to the three, they were lazing in the grass and panting, I never realized how much I'd miss them, Zorua ran to me and smiled sadly, "Kunie okay?" I nodded, I hugged my knees to my chest, "hey Kunie, I'm really gonna miss ya." I smiled softly at Yuri's slang, "me too!" Luca added as he sat up from where he was lying down, "I'll miss you guys too." I said as I pulled some grass, and fiddled with it.

We hung out a little longer, the sun was setting, the whole time me remembering all our times together. When Yuri got his finger stuck inside a broken elevator button, when Luca had let me walk his Arcanine, when Haku let me ride with him on his motorcycle, when Yuri got a Plusle stuck in a tree, when Luca had broken his nose with a too hard a kick from the soccer ball, when Haku had gotten his first job, when we celebrated each others birthdays, and the anniversary of the day we met.

I'd miss it.

"So I guess this is it..." Yuri said over-dramatically, I rolled my eyes, but they widened when I felt Yuri hug me, "I'll miss ya kiddo, really I will." He pulled away, I was surprised to find tears in his eyes, but he smiled them away, I smiled to, though I felt the tears well up, Luca came to me and gave me a hug, "I was always fascinated by that spin kick you did, maybe one day you can come back and teach it to me?" I smiled and nodded, he smiled sadly, he placed a kiss on my head, "don't cry." he stood up, I looked at Haku, but he was only looking at the sky in boredom, I looked down sadly, Zorua looking at me with a sad look, he rubbed my leg.

Then he barked at Yuri, "aw. I'm so not gonna miss you too!" he said as he picked him up, and hugged him, only to drop him when he bit him, "ah! Kunie! your Pokemon is evil!" Yuri said as he pointed at Zorua while holding where he bit him, I won't say where Zorua bit him. Zorua then went to Luca, who was gentler, then he looked at the sky, "it's getting dark..." he muttered, then looked at me.

"I'll walk her home."

I looked up at Haku's voice, it was the same seriousness I had grown to know, but, it sounded different...even now he was still looking at the sky, not looking at me.

I didn't get a chance to look at the other two as Haku came up behind me and made me walk away, Zorua barked and ran ahead, tears slid down my face, I sniffled every now and then, but other than that we were silent, until I noticed we weren't going home, we were going to the ice cream shop, I was silent as he ordered three vanillas. Then all three of us sat on a bench outside the ice cream shop. I silently swung my legs back and forth, eating my ice cream quietly, a tear or two occasionally sliding down my cheek. Haku was also quiet, Zorua seemed to sense the mood and didn't bother us, "why won't you say anything?" I said after I got tired of the long silence, I looked at him, it didn't seem he was going to talk. I frowned and continued to eat the ice cream.

When we finished he finally walked me home, we stood at the front, I didn't make a move to go in, and he didn't make a move to walk away, I heard him mutter something and looked at him, "what...?" I asked, he raised his head, and smiled, it was softer than Luca, but seemed brighter than Yuri's, "because I'm going to miss you too much. I have too much to tell you, I can't say it all at once, so...when your older, I'll tell you all the things I wanted to say, I don't have the time right now...so for now, we'll settle for just that...I'll miss you..."

He didn't hug, me, or give me a kiss like the other two, just told me he would miss me.

And that was enough.

K.M.: Author note!

Okay I have to say it...This made me really sad! I didn't realize how attached I had gotten to the gang until it was too late, in fact this is so not going to be the last time you see them! They'll show up again! Unless I die...then there's nothing we can do...

Truthfully at first I was going to have Kunie already living in Nuvema town, but then I was like...NAH! I'll make her make the hard decision of saying goodbye! MUAHAHAHAHA, okay...that was mean, it was actually really hard to write this part, I didn't know how I would make Haku say goodbye, so in the end I was like...meh just let him buy her ice cream or sumthin', and putting Zorua in was the real difficult part. So yeah, she's moving to Nuvema town or whatever, I actually hadn't planned where she was living when I made her, which made me feel a little stupid over my mistake, let's say something random, like Kalos or something, it's a cool place...right?

I actually never liked Kalos... it was only cool to me because it introduced mega evolution, after that the hype seemed to die down.

Anyways I need to make this short, because I have to do stuff tomorrow (today), and it's like 12:30, why am I up?

Last thing! I put up a poll for Zorua's name, the names are Cain, Chipper, Rune, and Joker, so please vote on whichever one you like! Poll ends on July 11~

So yeah, please review, and I'll see you later my little kitties!
