Chapter 2

Author's note: Wow I haven't posted in ssssoooo long! -Murmurs something about reading to many fanfics then gets strange looks from other people in the room- Er... Anyway, I would like to thank my first reviewer, Crystal Stichpunk! Though I'm not entirely sure she counts 'cause we go to the same school and I told her to read it... "-_- So I'm going to thank the next reviewer to! Oh and in this chapter is the introduction of Crystal Stichpunk's character and naruhina-hikaharu's character. I wouldn't call them character's 'cause it's actually... well... them. Lauren is Crystal Stichpunk and Georgia is naruhina-hikaharu. And i almost forgot to say they're in the Johto region and possibly Kanto. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or anything related to it. But you just wait... one day... ONE DAY! -Laughs evilly-

A Brief Interlude

The boy watched the shadow from behind a tree. The shadow was made up of afew people. They were talking loudly to each other, and the boy could hear what they said quite clearly. He also knew they were all male from the sound of their voices.

"We just need those eight, right?" says one voice. "Shouldn't be too hard to capture them."

"It's not that simple," replies another. "They were all split up. I know two were in the meadow, but I have no idea about the other six."

"What about the other two? The fluffy pink one and the flower-like one? What are they for?" asks a third voice. The boy scowled and his crimson eyes narrowed. He knew exactly who they were talking about. Sing and Flower.

"You can kill them when we get all the ones needed. Those two were just bait, though I suppose we could use them some more. I bet the eight would love to see their friends being tortured." Murmurs the first voice thoughtfully. 'Son of a bitch!' thought the boy angrily. He wondered who the eight people they were talking about were. The voices of the shadow faded as it walked away. The boy frowned and wandered out from the cover of the tree and right into two girls.

Chapter 2

I scowl at the boy as he bumps into me and knocks me down. "Watch where you're going!" I say angrily. The boy is wearing black trousers and a black top with a yellow circle in the middle and a yellow stripe at the bottom on it. He has black hair and red eyes.

"Sorry." He mumbles as he tries to shuffle past us.

"Have we met before?" asks Spirit nervously. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

"Now I think about it, you do seem sorta familiar," I say as I scramble to my feet. "What's your name?"

"Dark." He replies simply. Aha. Dark. You guys remember, right? Dark is the name of the Umbreon I know. Well, knew, I suppose. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

"I know a guy called Dark," Spirit says. Apparently she's thinking what I'm thinking. "He's a cool guy. Quite sweet. Also an Umbreon." I grinned at Spirit.

"Uh-huh." Mutters Dark suspiciously. Hmm. I wonder if he's caught on yet."What are your names?"

"Amber." I say.

"Spirit." Spirit replies.

"I know a Spirit and an Amber." He says.

"Really? Do they happen to be an Espeon and a Vulpix?" I ask.

"Maybe." I grinned. Definitely him. "Why?" he asked. "Not like it's any of your business."

"Oh, but it is." Replies Spirit.

"How?"

"You ever heard of Pokémon turning into humans?" she didn't fall for that trick when I asked her, so why's she asking Dark that? -_-

"No, but I know for a fact it happened." I can't believe he feel for that!

"What an idiot." I mutter under my breath.

"What did you say?" asks Dark.

"What an idiot." I reply. "You're just increasing our suspicion that you're the same Dark that travelled with us to find our friends Sing and Flower." Spirit glares at me and I clamp my hand over my mouth. "Oops. I wasn't supposed to say that." Dark frowns, and then shrugs.

"Don't matter, 'cause I'm exactly who you think I am." He replies. I turn to Spirit and grin. She jumps into his arms and kisses him (they're lovers. Obviously). While we had been talking, a thick mist had settled in, making it impossible to see the nearest city. We had no idea where to go. Spotting two trainers, I begin waving my hands.

"Hey!" I yell to them."Over here!" Spirit frowns at me.

"What are you doing?" she asks.

"Maybe they can point us towards the nearest town/city." I reply "I lost where that city was in the distance when the shadow and the mist came along." By now, the two trainers had come up to us. One of them has medium length red-brown hair and a Bellsprout by her side. The other girl has medium-long brown hair with glasses and by her side stands a Ninetails. The one with the Bellsprout speaks first.

"Did you want something?" she asks. I nod.

"I was wondering if you could point us to the nearest town or city." I say. The girl with the Bellsprout points down a long path.

"You want to go down Route 31 to Violet City." I nod.

"Thanks." The girl smiles.

"You can come with us; we're on our way to get our first gym badges!" she laughed. "I'm Lauren and this is Georgia." She pointed to the girl with the Ninetails. "Who are you three?"

"I'm Amber, this is Spirit and Dark." I reply. Lauren nodded and begins walking. I went over to Georgia. "I love your Ninetails!" I say. She laughs and we begin to talk about different types of Pokémon and her favourites. I found out hers is Ninetails and Eevee. I tell her mine is Vulpix. She shows me some of her Pokémon and I admire them and compliment her for raising them so well. Spirit and Dark chat to Lauren. Lauren brings out her Pokémon to. Eventually, we reach Violet City, and we prepare for (By for, I mean to watch. Lauren and Georgia were the only ones preparing to battle) a gym battle.
