Hello to all People Reading this. (^_^)

I typed this once, but it all got deleted, so be happy I retyped this for you.

I don't own Pokémon and probably never will.

Anyway...

"Talking" Thoughts Poke-Speech

On with the Story...

Chapter 8: Return

Previously:

*Solidad's POV, Staleport City Contest Hall*

When I went to the Grand Festival, I discovered that Rose had pulled out of the competition.

Why are you erasing all traces of yourselves?

Mark, Rose, Where are you?

Little did I know, I wouldn't get that answer for many years to come...

*Mark's POV, Seven Years Later*

Rose and I stayed trapped in the strange dimension training for about six and a half years, whenever we tried to find out when we could leave or try to escape by ourselves we were doused with sleeping dust and carried back to our rooms and to bed.

After a while Rose and I stopped trying to escape because we knew there was no point.

Rose and I can now use a variety of Pokémon attacks, most similar to Darkrai's attacks for Rose and Cresselia's attacks for me.

I grew white angel wings, while Rose grew black bat-like angel wings.

About five and a half months ago, Arceus told us that evil was once again beginning to rise, and that we had to destroy it now, before it got too powerful to stop.

So here we are, I'm nineteen now and Rose is nearly eighteen, starting our adventures in the real world again.

*Solidad's POV, Pewter City Park*

It's been years since Mark and Rose disappeared, no one has heard from them since that incident seven years ago.

Rose's grandparents, aunt, and uncle told us all not to worry because they would return eventually, but so far they haven't and I doubt they will.

About a year after they disappeared, Robert and I had another child, a girl, whom we named Andrea, she's six now, but she doesn't even know she has an older brother.

Ironically Mark ended up looking like his father, Robert's blonde hair, but my blue eyes.

Andrea ended up looking like me, with my Coral Pink hair, and blue eyes just like her brother and me.

Now where did that little troublemaker get to?

*Mark's POV, Pewter City Park*

I was flying around Pewter City, since I was born here, I decided to take a walk through the park, to remember old times that I spent here with Mom and Dad.

I was walking around when I noticed a little girl with a scrapped knee crying on the edge of the fountain.

Knowing that I should help her I walked over and asked, "Are you okay, where are your parents? What's your name?"

The little girl stopped crying to squeak out, "Mommy and Daddy say to never give my name to strangers. My knee has a boo-boo."

Silently, I placed my hand over the girl's knee and used my powers to heal it

The girl gasped upon seeing her knee healed and bent down to inspect it, while she was examining it I noticed she had Coral Pink hair and blue eyes, a lot like mom, "Mom."

The girl looked up," Did you ask me something?"

I shook my head, "No. Anyway, what is your name?"

She reminds me so much of mom...

The girl laughed, "Since you helped me, I guess you aren't a stranger. My name is Andrea."

I got up and reached out a hand to help Andrea up, "So where are your parents? We should go find them."

Before Andrea could say anything I heard someone yell, "Andrea!"

That voice, it couldn't be...

*Solidad's POV, Pewter City Park*

I can't find Andrea anywhere, where could she have gone.

Wait! The fountain, she loves playing there.

I ran as fast as possible to the fountain, and there she was, sitting there, talking to what seemed like a teenage boy, with blonde hair.

I smiled, knowing she was safe when the boy said that he would help her find her parents, but since I was right there, I yelled, "Andrea."

Andrea turned toward me and yelled, "Mommy."

The blonde haired teenager turned to look at me, his face full of shock.

I picked up Andrea and fully examined the boy, he was wearing old and faded blue jeans with a white t-shirt and blue and white sneakers.

Andrea tugged at my hair until I tilted my head and she whispered into my ear, "Mommy, he's so nice, he just helped get rid of my boo-boo."

I looked back at the boy, "Thank you for helping my daughter. I don't even know your name."

The boy shook his head to get out of his trance, "Mark. Mark Andrew Roberts."

Before I could get out of my shock, the boy walked away, and when I finally snapped out of it, I couldn't see him anywhere.

So you still are alive.

Norman and Caroline were right, you did return.

Too bad neither I nor your sister recognized you, you look so much more like your father now.

I started walking away, looking back at the fountain, hoping you would be there, but every time you weren't there.

*Mark's POV, Pewter City Park*

I'm sorry Mom, but I can't face you not just yet.

I walked from the fountain to a cliff at the edge of the park, then making sure no one was around I teleported myself back to the Mysterious Dimension, that had by now become a second home for both me and Rose.

*Mysterious Dimension, Still Mark's POV*

Once I was there, Rose walked over to me and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

We had passed the still shy around each other stage years ago, but we still know not to go too far.

Rose pulled away from me looking puzzled, "Mark what happened?"

I sighed, "I met Mom, she didn't recognize me at first, and I'm not sure if she did at all, it has been seven years."

Rose nodded, "Is that all that happened."

I said quickly, bit too quickly, "Yes."

Rose looked at be suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

I knew there was no way out of it, "I have a sister, now."

Rose looked at me before nodding and smiling, "How old is she?"

"I don't know, but I think about five or six."

Rose then stared at me, with THAT LOOK.

"No, we are NOT going to see my family."

Damn the person, that ever taught her the pout, even though I think she got it from her mom...

"Fine, but don't expect me to be happy about it."

*Rose's POV, Pewter City*

I followed Mark to where he presumed his family still lived, he said that he doubted that his family moved in the past seven years.

When we reached the house, Mark knocked on the door.

Solidad opened the door after a few minutes, and upon seeing who it was her smile grew wider.

Solidad dragged us in and asked, "Mark can you please baby-sit your sister for a few hours?"

Mark looked at her with an 'ARE YOU CRAZY' look, "I just came back, she doesn't know me, and you're asking me to baby-sit."

Solidad tapped her foot impatiently through Mark's rant then said, "Thanks, Bye. Rose can stay as well."

Solidad then grabbed her purse which was laying on a nearby table and left, before Mark or I could do anything to stop her.

After a few seconds Mark and I looked at each other before saying at the same time, "Did she just ditch us? I guess so."

I sighed, "Let's just watch, Andrea, you said her name was?"

Mark nodded, "Come on let's find her. Andrea!"

Andrea yelled from somewhere upstairs, "Coming."

A few seconds later Andrea came running down the stairs and upon seeing who it was, she smiled and ran over to Mark and hugged him.

I fake coughed to get their attention, "Sorry to ruin the moment, but you must be Andrea. I'm Mark's, Umm, friend, Rose."

Andrea let go of Mark, then came over to hug me.

I was wearing black jeans and a red camisole on top, so my arms were exposed to Andrea's touch.

Thank goodness I controlled my ability so only what I touch and want to die, dies.

I smiled, "Come on Andrea, your Mom asked us to watch you for a few hours, so why don't we get to know you better. Hmm?"

I picked up Andrea and walked to the living room, Mark close behind.

*Solidad's POV, Pewter City Shopping District*

I hope Mark and Rose take good care of Andrea, Mark is her brother, so I know he won't let her get hurt...

I should call them and make sure they're okay, Mark and Rose have been away for so long, and I hope they can manage her...

Now where did I put my cellphone.

I had just pulled out my cellphone when I felt familiar arms wrap themselves around my waist.

I turned slightly to kiss Robert on the lips before starting to dial my house number on the phone.

Robert noticed me dialing and asked, "Left Andrea with Brock?"

I shook my head furiously, "Brock was busy."

Robert tilted his head, "Where is Andrea?"

I tried dialing on my phone, but the battery died, so I turned to look at Robert, "With the baby-sitter, why do you ask?"

Robert nodded, "Just wanting to make sure she wasn't off somewhere all alone."

I sighed, "Since my phone is dead, can I borrow yours?"

Robert chuckled before handing me his phone, I quickly dialed the number and as soon as someone picked it up I ordered, "Make dinner for us, will you? Just navigate yourself around the kitchen. Please and thank you."

I hung up before I could get a complaint I hung up, handed the phone back to Robert, and said, "So let's stop somewhere so I can get some groceries, then we can go back to our house for dinner."

Robert nodded, but then asked, "How on earth did you convince your baby-sitter to cook dinner?"

I smirked, "My secret."

He'll be in for a huge shock later.

*Mark's POV, Pewter City, Roberts Residence*

I hope Mom knows what she is doing.

As soon as Mom called, Rose went straight to work cooking dinner, while I kept Andrea away from the kitchen so she wouldn't get hurt.

I was watching cartoons with Andrea, when the bell rang.

At least I can escape all these baby cartoons, even if it means facing certain death from Dad, well I lived a good life.

When I got to the door I heard Dad ask, "Why are we waiting? We have the house keys."

Instead of letting Mom have to answer that, I opened the door and let everyone walk in.

Dad scoffed, "At least the boy has some manners, but he still is a blonde."

I smiled, "Blame the heredity."

Dad smirked, "I like this kid, Solidad I see you have some sense hiring baby-sitters."

Andrea walked over and hugged Dad, "Daddy, Mark and Rose were so much fun."

Dad smiled, "That's great sweetheart, Wait! What did you say their names were?"

I smirked, "Mark Andrew Roberts at you service. Rose is in the kitchen."

Dad just stared in shock, not comprehending anything, quietly and carefully Mom took Andrea from Dad's arms and headed towards the kitchen.

As soon as Mom was gone, I was crushed into a bone breaking hug.

I managed to choke out, "Dad I really need to be able to breathe."

Dad let go of me just in time for Rose, who had just come in, to give him a quick hug and say, "It's good to see you again Mr. Roberts. Don't worry I can control my powers better now. Aunt Solidad wants all of us to come to the table for dinner."

As soon as Rose said that I rushed to the Dining Room.

Rose's cooking is awesome.

*Solidad's POV, Pewter City, Robert's Residence*

As soon as Mark, Rose, and Robert walked into the room, well Mark more of a ran into the room, Andrea asked, "Why are you still here?"

I scolded, "Andrea!"

Mark laughed, "It's okay. Andrea the reason Rose and I are still here is because I'm your older brother that you never knew about."

Andrea stood up yelling, "What?"

I sighed, "I wanted to tell you another way, but Mark is right, he is your brother."

Andrea smiled, "Cool, I get to have an awesome older brother, everyone else at school will be so jealous."

(A/N: In the Pokémon World they do have school, but it's mainly for the little kids.)

Well she adjusted to the news fast...

Rose laughed, "I'm sure they will be, Andrea."

Andrea turned toward Rose, "Does big brother like you?"

Rose and Mark blushed, but I decided to tease them about it. It's a mother's duty, "Yes he does, and I even bet in a few years they'll get married."

Rose and Mark complained, "Mom/Aunt Solidad."

Robert picked up from where I left off, "And Andrea, you'll probably be a big help in the wedding."

Rose and Mark blushed harder and sank even deeper into their chairs.

I laughed, "Well let's eat."

Mark suddenly bounced back up, "Yes. Finally, time to eat."

Mark attacked his food, while Rose shook her head, and the rest of us laughed.

Some things will never change...

Hey, wait this food tastes really good.

I'm so happy that Rose and Mark have finally returned.

To Be Continued...

That was a mainly filler chapter, but I had to bring in Andrea, she'll play a major role later on in the story.

Au Revior for Now.
