Hola, everyone! Here's my next chapter. Sorry if it's kinda short. The next one will be longer.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Don't we all know this by now?


Mew opened the door reluctantly. "Hello," she said shyly. Mesprit was outside, his cheeks just as red as Mew's.

"Hi," he replied. There was silence for a while.

"Mesprit?" Manaphy's question came out of nowhere. "Where are Azelf and Uxie?"

The Emotion Pokémon's blush faded as he turned to Manaphy and said, "Uxie fell asleep, and Azelf's trying to wake him up." Phione started giggling, then burst out laughing. Everyone else couldn't help but join her.

"MESPRIT!"

"Uh oh." The Pokémon, plus Kiki, looked outside to see Azelf screaming.

"Get your butt down here and help me drag your brother to the Tree!"

Mesprit tried his best to keep a straight face as he called, in a very formal voice, "Dearest sister, Uxie is your beloved brother as well, and you are also the oldest. Therefore, he is your responsibility." This caused some chuckles from the back.

"Oh, well, you're the youngest, so you've got to do what I say." Azelf stuck out her tongue.

"Says who?" her brother taunted.

"Says ME!" she shouted back. The two started screeching at each other, until Uxie lifted up his yellow head and blinked his eyes open, then shut again.

"What's going on?" he mumbled. Azelf stared at him, then at Mesprit, then back to him.

"Thank you, darling brother!" she shouted to Mesprit. He rolled his eyes.

During all of this, Jirachi had made his way back to the group. "Oh, hello, Azelf, Uxie," he greeted as they came in. Then he turned to the youngest pixie. "Hello, Mesprit." No one could hear the tint of hatred in his voice, or, if they did, they didn't say anything. The group continued back into the kitchen, and back to the ice cream. What they didn't know, was that they were being watched.


"Well, well, surrounded by legendaries, huh? This will be an enjoyable challenge." Upon a rock sat a young man, probably in his upper twenties, lower thirties, and a Raichu. The electric mouse nodded. His master lowered his binoculars and smirked. "She will be a fine addition to our team."

"Gideon?" asked the Raichu. The man turned toward him, spiky black hair blown in the wind.

"What is it?"

"When do we attack?"

Gideon smiled. "Now."


Umbreon was amazed. So many legendaries in one day! This was astounding! "Hey, Mew!" she called. The pink Pokémon floated over to her. "Thanks for inviting us," the fox said.

"Oh...you're welcome," replied Mew. She went back to where she was, still blushing a crimson hue. Umbreon tilted her head. What happened to the hyperactive ball of pink? She walked over to Lucario and told him her thoughts.

"She does seem a bit different," he wondered aloud. "I think it's got something to do with Mesprit." Umbreon nodded.

"I'll go check," she said. She headed in Mesprit's direction. The pixie Pokémon was obviously cracking jokes with Manaphy. "You," she said, very business-like. Mesprit looked in her direction. "Here. Now." He shrugged and followed her out of the kitchen.

"Yeah?" he said. "What do you want?"

Umbreon sighed. "What's wrong with Mew?" Mesprit looked confused.

"How should I know?" Though he tried to hide it, Umbreon saw his cheeks turn pink.

"Oh, I don't know," she said, with an I-know-you-know smile. "Maybe because every time she tries to talk, heck, look at you, her face turns red." She paused, then added, "Like yours is now." There was no response. A mischievous look flashed across Umbreon's face. "Do you love her?"

"No!" Mesprit exclaimed. "Well," he continued, "maybe a little...kinda...a lot...yes." Umbreon smirked.

"Tell her, then."

"But...what if she doesn't like me?" The black fox laughed.

"Doesn't like you? Are you blind?" She laughed again. "She blushes whenever you're near her, can't manage more than two words to you, and...um..." Umbreon tried to think of a third thing. "Well, anyway, there's no chance of her not liking you."

"You sure?"

"Positive." Umbreon started to push Mesprit into the kitchen. "Now go tell her." She smiled. Giving dating advice to Pokémon she just met wasn't one of her strong points, but Umbreon felt that she had just made one hell of a speech. Timidly, the Emotion Pokémon started floating toward Mew. As he was about to reach her, though, a bolt of lightning jolted into the room. Celebi screamed, Kiki started panic, Lucario glanced around anxiously; the whole place became a mess. But for Umbreon, Phione's cry stood out.

"We're under attack!"


There you go! Hope you enjoyed it! Please keep R&Ring!
