Jet wakes up the next morning to find Abby already awake, leaning on him in some silent protest to him sleeping, giving him a lascivious look. He sighs, and they make passionate love once again.
Once finished, Jet makes haste in asking where Abby's trainer is. "His name is Raizu Kawashima." States Abby.
"Oh." He says, giving her a blank look.
She starts walking around, sniffing relentlessly. "Um…"
"What?" Jet says.
"I can't… find a scent. This is not good. C'mon, follow me." She starts running in a direction. Jet sighs and follows her half-willingly.

Jet finds Abby a few minutes later, after having lost track of her visibly in the forest, using her scent to track her. She was sitting in a small clearing, crying. "Abby?" He walks up behind her, asking.
"They… were right here. I put… an X on that tree over there." She nods her head toward said tree in her melancholy state. "It was to… remember where they were. But they left already… it has only been one day…"
Jet comes up to her and kisses her cheek. "We'll find them. I'm a Luxray, so I can see through objects a certain distance. You know what they smell like. We can do this together."
"You're cheesy encouragement is acknowledged." States Abby, smiling alittle. The two are about to leave when something drop from the trees above and lands in front of them. The distance was so high that they felt a wind rush at them as it lands. Jet looks straight ahead, as Abby blinks her eyes several times to remove dust from her eyes.
The figure is a Heracross. He's smiling as his blue shell reflects the sun off him and into their eyes. "Hey guys."
"Do we know you?" Says Jet, walking forward with an aggressive stance.
"Hey hey, don't go around trying to hurt me. I just woke up, saw a nice little couple down here and stuff, and thought 'Hey, I should say hi and like, stuff.' Not too many people come by here… well, except for that one big group of guys yesterday."
"What?" Asks Abby.
"Yeah, see, like, two days ago, I was sleepin' here, and then whoosh, and some white, winged, dog thing, flies past me. I almost fell out, and I like, yelled somethin' and she came down at talked to me. She was nice, eh, Veera was her name, ya. She told me her trainer was here, and I looked down, and there was a human and 5 other pokémon. Pretty impressive sight, no one comes by this part of the woods…"
"He's my trainer and we're looking for him. My name's Abby." She sits down and holds forward one paw. "Shake?"
He looks at her, then grabs it gently and shakes. "You're weird, lady. Name's Jon."
"Jet." Jet introduces himself, then begins with more questions. "Did you see where they went?"
"Well yeah, they left about… two days ago."
"What?" Says Abby.
"Oh yeah, I saw you leave. In heat too, guess you found yourself a guy ya?" He elbows her jokingly, but she shoots him a look that almost makes him fall over. "Whoa, whoa whoa. Too much anger, lady. Um, well, Veera talked with me, said she couldn't stand her trainer and the rest of them and such, then flew off in some direction. I stayed here and noticed that one left, I think an Espeon. Raizu noticed and decided to follow them."
"So they left in pursuit of Veera?" Asks Jet.
"I guess. She looked prrrreeeetttyyy upset." He says, much emphasis on pretty. "I know where they went. Can I come with?"
"What? Why?" Asks Jet.
"Because life around here is BORING." He makes a big motion with his hands. "There's like, nothing, and I figured, 'Hey, a trainer. Whooo…'"
"Well, Raizu can say no if we find him." Says Abby. "Let's go."
"Sure, this way." He says pointing in some direction, and the three start walking toward where Raizu should be.

"Veera!" I call out, worried sick about her. Right now, only Alexis and Tempest are out, helping me look around for her. She flew off after she kissed me, and even though we should have waited for Abby to return, if she does, I want to get Veera back. Besides, she should be able to find us with her scent.
"Damnit, where is she…" Says Tempest. "I should have just given her what she wants…"
"Hey, you didn't know she'd flip out… on me especially." I say, reassuringly and jokingly at the same time.
"Yeah, I guess…" He grumbles. Then he perks up, looking around. "Shit…"
"What?" I ask, when I feel something small hit my head. The feeling doesn't stay long, and more small objects begin to hit my head. Shit. Rain. We all hurry under the cover of a tree, large enough to keep rain from landing on us, and rest for a bit.
"How are we going to find my daughter in this rain?!" Asks Alexis. "She may not be safe."
"I'll go find her." I say. I don't let them get a word in edgewise in protest, and reassure them that I'll be fine. "I like the rain."
I start walking, not running in order to avoid tripping, slowly through the forest. The ground has only started soaking up the water, mud not yet formed, and I keep heading straight. I don't have any idea if I'll even see her in this direction, but I have a feeling…
Upon reaching a clearing, I almost yell out. I find Abby there, along with this other yellow furred Luxray. "Abby?!" I call out, still coming towards them.
She turns around and shoots me a look of malice. She launches flamethrower at me and I barely jump out of the way, grabbing a nearby tree for support. "Abby? What are you doing?"
She doesn't respond, and fires another pillar of flame at me.
