A/N: Ok, please don't be mad. I'm already mad at myself and I'm not sure if your anger will be helpful...School on top of other commitments I have made have been very distracting lately...and I finally got time to finish this chapter. I know it's not very long...sorry...but I'll try harder to update quicker. So, on with REE

No, one of my other commitments is not running pokemon. I do not own pokemon, end of story.

Chapter 15

Horro looked left, then right. Nobody ever went near the border unless there was to be an attack on the pokemon who lived on the other side…but with what he was doing, you could never be too careful.

"Nobody's here…It's ok now…" Horro whispered to himself. He blinked a couple of times and his eyes turned from a deep red, to a bright orange. Violet smoke rose from the little mankey until a full ghost-like creature appeared. The mankey blinked a few times and looked up at the ghost.

"Thanks, Horro. It was starting to get a bit boring in there…" Mankey said.

"Well I wasn't exactly enjoying myself…Tok scares me!" Horro cried.

"Hush! Do you two really want to alert all the Red Eyed Evil within 20 miles of the ravine?!" Horro and Mankey jumped at Yue's voice. Sure enough, a young girl appeared out of the undergrowth—her messy red hair stood out in the moonlight.

"Yue! We saw Smoke today…how's the girl?" Mankey asked. Yue's eyes shot down to her feet.

"She's coping…" Yue finally said.

"What will happen now?" Horro asked.

"What do you think?" Mankey asked, exasperated. "We keep on fighting, that's what!"

"But…Drew…" Horro started.

"No, he's right." Yue whispered. "Moonlight and I talked about it…we will find a way. Speaking of which, you wanted to see me?"

Both Horro and Mankey exchanged looks. Finally, Mankey spoke.

"Yes, we did. There's been a project going on in the canyons." Yue stared at him and he continued.

"We've been searching for the remains of the Mew territory. So far we've found a few tablets. But none of us can make out what they say…only a few pokemon can read Mew writing…"

"Like Slowking," Yue added "he's not in danger is he?"

"No." Horro cut in.

"Good…go on." Yue said, relieved.

"There have been many rockslides lately…and a couple of disappearances…Tok and Smoke are going to check it out tomorrow. It would be a perfect time to…"

"Spy?" Yue guessed.

"…or attack." Horro said. Yue looked confused; "Why attack?" she asked.

"The tablets have the same markings as those Slowking showed Mankey…about the Red Eyed Evil. They could be an addition to the prophecy. We can't let Tok interpret them. May might be in even graver danger." Horro explained.

Yue's eyes widened. "Ok," she said "tomorrow…we will attack if possible…thank you."

The figure of a Riolu—one of the swiftest of pokemon—took Yue's place, she bowed to her friends, and with a quick smile she disappeared into the undergrowth.

May blinked as bright light shown through the peep hole she had made. She and Yue were hiding in a bush, watching a variety of possessed pokemon digging near the edge of the canyon lands. Moonlight and Spoof hid in the undergrowth next to them.

"There's Drew." Yue whispered. May had already seen him, she had to remind herself it was Smoke every time he kicked a working pokemon that had wondered too close to him.

"But where's Tok?" Spoof rasped from the left.

"You have to be patient, young one." Moonlight said. May envied Moonlight, she could control who heard her and who didn't because she used telepathy. Because of this, she didn't have to whisper like the rest of them.

"Where do they keep the tablets?" May asked.

"Most likely on that boulder that resembles a table." Moonlight answered.

"Oh." May said. She turned her gaze and her heart plummeted. "I found Tok…" she added. Sure enough, Yue's brother walked over to Drew and spoke to him. Drew nodded and the two walked over to a Sandslash that was barking orders at a couple of Trapinch who had been working on a rock pile.

The four spies could hear every word:

"How many have disappeared, Haze?" Tok asked.

"We're up to eight and counting!" the apparently angry Sandslash growled. His red eyes glinted.

"Counting?" Drew asked. May winced as she heard Smoke's voice.

"Yes! If those two don't get their act together, they're going to get themselves killed! Just now I caught them hiding in a rock pile! Talented diggers, they are, but one day they'll pick a rock pile that'll collapse on 'em right then and there!" Haze screeched.

"Hmm…they're young. They should wise up sooner or later." Drew said thoughtfully.

"Well I hope so!" Haze answered.

"I've heard there have been an increasing number of rock slides lately. What's going on with that?" Tok asked.

"I'm not sure. Nobody knows what—or who—has been causing 'em…either that or nobody will tell me." Haze answered, at bit calmer than before.

"Nobody's been severely hurt…have they?" Drew asked.

"No…" Haze seemed surprised by this question.

"Smoke…why would you…" But Drew interrupted the Sandslash.

"Do you question me, Haze?" he spat.

"No…no sir."

"Good. Leave it that way." Drew said.

"And what of these tablets…" Tok asked, getting back on topic.

"Nobody here knows how to read 'em…but they seem to be Mew writing…" Haze said. Tok picked one up and examined it.

"This seems similar to that amulet…" he said to Smoke who immediately walked over to Tok too take a look. Tok handed him the tablet and picked up another.

"When he sets that tablet down, we jump…" Moonlight surprised May who had been so transfixed on Drew and Tok, she hadn't realized Yue and Moonlight were speaking.

"May, you and Spoof stay here." Yue said and May nodded. Drew set down the tablet and Moonlight pounced. He let out a shriek of surprise as the Absol pinned him. Instantly a second Absol—Yue—landed on Tok who took the form of a Mightyenna and before May knew it, the two Ditto were a blur of teeth and claws.

"The girl is here!" Drew spat "he saw her!" May whimpered as Drew threw off Moonlight and looked straight at her. For a moment his eyes flashed green. But the moment was gone and Moonlight jumped at him. All around, the miners watched from hiding places as Drew hauled the screeching Moonlight at the rock wall. She stood and shook herself, baring her teeth.

"Cowards…" Spoof whispered. May gave him a puzzled look. "The miners are trained only to dig. They're scared to fight." Spoof explained. May nodded and returned her gaze to Drew as Moonlight rammed him into the rock wall.

"Smoke!" she growled angrily.

"Why do you keep fighting?" Smoke asked her. "We have the boy. It is hopeless."

"NOTHING IS HOPELESS!" Moonlight cried. A large rumbling came and the two looked up. Yue and Tok even stopped fighting.

"Rock slide!" someone screamed.
