Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, as well as its various number of creatures and characters. But I do own the characters Hatiro and Luna

A/N: Almost there, just a few more things before I close up.

Note: For you to understand and know the characters, you gotta have read at least Ch.2 in my, story, "Adventures of Umbreon and Espeon".

-------------------------------------------------

As the four scurried throught the many cash registers, Ted, his friend, Luna, and Ted's friend's girl spoke amoung themselves.

"It's those guys again." Ted said

"Let me guess, you saw them on the outskirts of the city, right?" Amber asked

"Yeah, how did you..." Ted began

"... know that? I passed them with Luna, earlier, she psybeamed the skinny dude, because he was a jerk" Amber said

"Really, Hatiro tackled him, when we met them, on the stomach." Ted said laughing.

"Hey who said that." Lou said coming over to them, "Oh its you two again, so where's that useless umbreon and that ugly espeon?" he asked

"None of your business, you jerk." Amber yelled out

"Still don't know your place, do you?" Lou said as he punched her on the head and walked away

"Dude that group is like the toughest bunch in the city." Ted's friends said.

"Their names are Lou, Mike, Opal, and Jana, the tall female is Opal, the Jana is the smaller one, Mike is the one with the mustache, and Lou is that one that just hit you." Ted's friend's girlfriend said

"So, anyone got any ideas?" Ted's friend said

"I don't think so, but we aren't going to stand for it, and so are our pokemon." Ted said as he pointed at the four pokemon as they seem to ready to fight.

"Right, lets fight back." Amber said

"Hey, we can help" Helen said, holding up a pokeball

"So can we." Ted's friend said, and his girlfriend holding up another pokeball

"Lets go." The five of them said as they stood up.

"Looks like our owners are up to something." Lex said

"I think they're going to take back the store." Starly said

"Then their on the same page as we are. Ready to fight?" Hatiro said

"You know I'm ready." Luna said

"Same here." Lex said

"Me three." Starly said as he took flight

The four went out in plain view of robbers

"Hey Lou, it looks like our friends' pokemon are here." Mike said

"Good, because I'm about to wipe the floor with them." Lou said, "Machamp come out!" Lou said as he threw his pokeball in mid-air.

"Hatiro wait for a minute. We got friends to help us this time." Ted told Hatiro as Ted's friend's girl threw out her pokeball, and unleashed her Clefairy and Helen unleashed her Pidgeotto

"Hey kid, nice to see you again, but if you want to play, then lets play." Mike said unleashed his Breloom, followed by Opal's Exeggcute and Jana's Gabite.

"Hey there, looks like we got ourselves a slaughter here." Machamp said

"Time for a beat down." Breloom said

"uhggg... Their owner's aren't civil, and so are the pokemon." Luna said

"Cool it Luna, just stand down for now." Hatiro said

"Machamp, Vital Throw!" Lou yelled out

"LOU!!!" Mike yelled out angrily, as Machamp began to ran towards Hatiro

"Hatiro! Dodge and use screech." Ted yelled out, Hatiro did as commanded and Screeched as soon as Machamp missed

"Luna, use Hidden Power." Amber commanded, and Luna used Hidden Power the very second that Machamp was up

The strike sent Machamp flying till he landed on one of the store's many decor statues

"Breloom use Sky Uppercut!" Mike said, and immediately Breloom struck Hatiro sending him flying into area with the hats for small girls, taking out several shelves.

"Clefairy, use Metronome!" Ted's friend's girl shouted, and Clefairy began waving its arms

"Gabite, get that Clefairy before it attacks." Jana said, Gabite's claws started to glow

"I cut you down, Clefairy!" Gabite yelled out to Clefairy as he approached her

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Starly yelled out and did a powerful Whirlwind at it.

"Hatiro! Tackle that Gabite!" Ted yelled out, as Hatiro came running out of the rubble that use to be the hat rack, and struck it on it's side sending it flying and landing on Exeggcute.

"Guys, use team work, lets take out Breloom and Machamp first!" Ted yelled out

"Hatiro!" "Luna!" "Use Psychic!" Ted and Amber yelled out at once, and Hatiro and Luna blasted Machamp at once

"Pidgeotto! Air Slash!" "Lex, use Crunch!" Ted's friend and Helen yelled out, and Pidgeotto slashed Breloom in the chest, followed by Lex biting down on it's arm

"Exeggcute! Bullet Seed!" Opal yelled out hitting Lex and Breloom

"Opal! Watch where you have Exeggcute fire." Mike said

"Stop complaining, it hit the Luxio, didn't it?" Opal said

"Forget this! Machamp use Hyper Beam!" Lou yelled out almost ready to bust a vein, and as Machamp prepared to fire, Clefairy does the same thing and fires

"Whoa! this is going out with a bang." Helen said as the two Hyper Beams got caught with each other between the groups, then exploding

The explosion took out Exeggcute, Gabite, Starly, Pidgeotto, and Clefairy.

"Now that was strong!" Ted's friend yelled out as Helen and his girlfriend commanded their pokemon back

"It definitely was, was it" Mike said as Opal and Jana too commanded their pokemon to return

The remaining pokemon could just barely stand. The first floor was a wreck.

"Hatiro, Luna, I think it's time to pull out our ace in the hole." Ted said

"You mean that team attack combo?" Amber said

"Yes I do. Are you two ready?" Ted asked, as Hatiro and Luna nodded and prepped for the attack

"Give it up. Our pokemon clearly have more than enough energy to overpower yours." Mike said

"Oh, we got a surprise for you" Ted said

"Oh forget this, I'm attacking alone! I'm going to teach both of you why we should be feared." Lou said as Machamp readied himself

"Hatiro! use Shadow Ball with all of your energy!" Ted commanded and Hatiro soon followed by holding a large shadow ball in his mouth, ready to fire at any moment

"Luna, ready your Confusion." Amber told Luna

"Machamp! use Brick Break on both of them!" Lou yelled out as Machamp started charging.

"Hatiro!" "Luna! Now!", Both Ted and Amber yelled out, as Hatiro fired the Shadow Ball, and Luna caught it with confusion.

"What!" Lou yelled out loud as Luna uses the captured Shadow Ball like a giant rock and strikes Machamp with it.

"Whoa, totally awesome." Ted's friend said

The Shadow ball lost some mass from the attack but was still fairly big enough for a few more goes at Machamp

"I refuse to lose! Machamp one more Hyper Beam!" Lou yelled as Machamp prepped to fire a Hyper Beam, and Hatiro and Luna prepares to fight back with another Shadow Ball and use the one that Luna already has.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" yelled out a man, as everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at him, Hatiro and Machamp stopped mid-attack and Luna stopped Confusion and it disappeared along with the Shadow Ball.

"Mr. Hynim! Good day sir." Helen said

"Good day, to you too, Helen. I saw what was happening on the security cameras before the blast destroyed them." Mr. Hynim said

"And who do you think you are?" Lou said

"I'm the Store Manager, this is a store for families and their pokemon and I don't appreciate thieves at my store." Mr. Hynim said roughly

"Tough gramps, you have no say in what we do." Lou said

"Then let me prove myself worthy." Mr. Hynim said as he pulled out a pokeball, "Gyarados! come on out!" he said as he threw it straight up.

"Do you think I'm scared?" Lou said, as his Machamp showed no fear

"Lou, shut it, he has a point." Mike said

"Bahhh!, Machamp beat down his Gyarados." Lou said

"Gyarados! Ice Beam!" Mr. Hynim said as Gyarados did as commanded and hit both Machamp and Lou with the Ice Beam freezing them over. "Good job, Gyarados, you can return now." he said, as his pokemon returned

Helen was carrying the tired Starly in her arms, as Mr. Hynim walked over to them. The police weren't far, and arrested the foursome.

"Well, that was an interesting display of power and teamwork." he said as he petted Hatiro and Luna, "You two, sure have done well training these two." he told Ted and Amber.

"Thank you sir, but I think, the thanks goes to Hatiro and Luna." Amber said, indicating to them

"Yeah, they sure do, they actually learned that move on their own." Ted said

"Really!" all of them except, Ted and Amber, said

"Well I think the thanks goes to all our pokemon." Mr. Hynim, "They are a mysterious bunch, with incredible power."

"Yeah to all our pokemon, including little Starly here." Helen said

"Yes, to them, now lets get out of here before so we could make way for those who will check the building." Mr. Hynim said

Outside a crowd of those who ran out as soon as the battle started, and those curious were being blocked by police. Ted and Amber and the other were talking with each other, with what they shopped for safe and sound. Hatiro, Luna, Lex, and Starly were in their own little group talking.

"Wow! what a day, huh?" Starly said laying quite lazily on Hatiro's back

"Today has been definitely been quite a day." Hatiro said

"Well, I'll see you three later. My owner wants us home so I can get cleaned off." Lex said

"Alright see ya later, Lex, and thank you for your help." Hatiro said as he put a paw on her arm

"Never a problem, Hatiro." Lex said with a smile a slight blush, "I'll see you three tomorrow." she added before running off

"What did she mean by that?" Starly asked

"Amber and Ted invited her, her owner, and his family, to the party tomorrow." Luna said

"Great, more fun." Starly said

"Yep, this time with food." Luna said laughing along with Hatiro by their friend's reaction.

The trip home wasn't as hard as expected, the storm wasn't as hard as expected, and Starly was of coarse able to stay at their place till he felt better, which was morning the following day. The trip home, Ted and Amber spoke about how their days were when they were suppose to shop but didn't, Luna and Hatiro spoke about what they felt was needed to be said, and Starly slept on Hatiro's back. The following day, Everyone was at Ted and Amber's place for a party, including Ted's friend and his family and girlfriend, Helen, and Mr. Hynim. In the living room Luna wearing the necklace Hatiro gave her, Hatiro wearing the tag Luna got him, Starly, and Lex were talking.

"Hey, there Lex, how are you feeling?" Luna asked

"Hey, there Luna, I'm doing fine." Lex said

"You don't look alright, you sure?" Hatiro asked

"Ya... I'm alright... I just need to say sorry to both of you." Lex said

"Sorry? Sorry for what" Luna asked

"It's just that I knew that you and Hatiro had a thing going for both of you, and I annoyed Hatiro each year with my actions. I like him too, he is such a good pokemon to know. I just don't want you to be angry with me Luna." Lex said with her ears down.

"Oh, its alright Lex, Hatiro and Starly explained the whole thing to me yesterday, on the way home." Luna said

"They did?!" Lex said

"Yes, they did, I don't hate you, you were just going through a phase." Luna said.

"Its just a phase, you'll get over it." Starly said

"Alright, thanks guy, for understanding. Hatiro, I know you'll might never feel the same way I feel for you right now, but can I at least have you as a friend?" Lex said

"Actually, no, you can't have me as a friend." Hatiro said with a frown, and Lex's ears went down low, "You can have ALL of us as your friend." Hatiro said with a smile, making Lex perk up.

"Yes, all of us." Starly said

"Including me, Lex." Luna said

"Even us" Infernape said as all the family pokemon including some other wild pokemon came behind them

"Gee thanks, guys!" Lex said smiling very widely

"Being a friend of one of us, is being a friend to all of us." Empoleon said

"And the door is always open to you when you want to stop by, when you're in town." Hatiro said

"Thank you, guys, I feel so happy right now." Lex said on the verge of tears.

"Come on all of you, Ted and Amber's mom prepped a feast fit for a Snorlax, and we are all invited to the feast." Infernape said as he led the group, to the kitchen for food.

"Umm... Luna, can you wait for a minute." Lex said not moving from her spot

"Alright, go ahead guys, so what's up?" Luna said

"I want to say sorry to you again." Lex said

"Like we said, Lex, It's alright." Luna said with a sly smile

"Yes, I know, but still I guess, that I'm quite jealous of you. You are so lucky, having someone like Hatiro love you and that necklace proves it." Lex said

"It ok, I really can't blame ya for falling for him, he really is a catch. But listen, when you speak to that Luxray you told Starly you like, and develop a relationship like Hatiro and I have, then you'll be the one who is the lucky one. That's when you'll feel like the luckiest girl in the world, its true for Ted and Amber's parents and Hatiro and I, we feel the luckiest to have each other." Luna told her with her smile on her face

"Thank you, Luna. Thank you for understanding." Lex said with a smile

"No prob, what are friends for, now lets go get some food before everyone else get all of it." Luna said as she and Lex dashed off slightly laughing.
