Danny's POV

The next morning we got up again.

I was started to get tired of waking up so early.

Before we left however a young couple came up to our camp "hello, there was a vulpix trapped in the woods last night, have anyone seen what happened to it" a young woman asked.

I fidgeted nervously "why" I asked.

The lady looked worried "it was wild and the trap kept cutting deeper, we just want to make sure that the hunters didn't get to it" she said nervously.

I sighed and took out the poke ball "I found her last night and helped her" I said.

The lady sighed in relief and looked at the playful pokemon who was now messing with Danny's shoe laces "thank goodness, at least she was found by decent people" she said.

Then she looked thoughtful at the group "you know, could you help us with a small problem" she asked.

Me and the others shrugged "as long as it doesn't take to long, we're kinda in a hurry" Ash said.

The lady sighed "our town is being terrorized by three pokemon, maybe you can capture them or something" she asked.

We paused "I don't know, it sounds kind of dangerous" Brock said.

Dawn looked hesitant as well.

Ash looked thoughtfully at the water "if you guys want I can do it quick" I offered.

All three of them sighed in relief "you know, I guess I can spend this time to play with lapras" Ash said thoughtfully.

Five minutes later Ash, and Dawn were in the water and I was following the couple to the town.

When I got there it seemed like a ghost town.

The couple hid in the shadows to watch me.

Silently I released my three and closed my eyes to listen.

I heard the three pokemon coming around the corner.

I opened my eyes and looked at wild fire "wild fire, used quick attack to get behind them and get them over here" I said quietly.

Wild fire did just that and my three boxed up the other three.

I checked my pokedex and saw the obvious leader of the group was absol and the shiest one was a growlithe, then I found the last one that seemed bored was a houndour.

I looked at my three "wild fire, rose, use ember, destiny use swift" I called.

The three trouble pokemon were quickly over whelmed and I tossed my remaining poke balls at them.

I waited anxiously as the poke balls rocked for what seemed like minutes.

Finally the three balls dinged with the signal that I caught them.

The couple generously came out and thanked me which I found as bad as the stupid reporters.

I quickly put all my pokemon away and smiled at them and turned invisible.

Immediately I felt a strain to stay invisible.

I ran off down the street.

Right out of camp I became visible and casually strolled in "hey I'm back" I called.

Everyone looked at my way.

I saw Ash and Brock looking at me strangely while Dawn was trying not to laugh "what" I asked puzzled.

Suddenly I felt two people jump on my back "DANNY!" they both shouted together.

In surprise I fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

I tried attempting an ecto blast but only got a pathetic beam.

Then I saw my attackers and gasped "Danielle? And who are you" I asked.

One was clearly my cousin in her ghost form.

The other one has bleached white hair with a midnight blue tank top and skin tight violet pants along with midnight blue boots like my white ones and glowing green eyes.

She burst out laughing and hugged me "names Sam Phantom, and I would have thought you would recognize your girlfriend" she said.

My eyes widened in shock "SAM" I yelled.

She quickly changed to normal while Danielle followed her lead.

Behind us Dawn finally burst out laughing.

Confused I turned around and saw exactly what she was laughing at.

Ash and Brock's face's were completely classic and pikachu's was just as hilarious.

I laughed and pointed at the two girls behind me "my cousin Danielle, and my wonderful girlfriend Sam" I said.

Then I pointed to the trio "my new friends Ash, Brock, and Dawn" I said.

Politely they shook hands, though the guys still looked way confused.

I sighed "we should explain to them" I said.

Sam crossed her arms frowning suddenly "no we don't, Daniel Fenton, you need to explain why you have been missing for a week!" she growled.

I shot her an apologetic glance "look I was being chased down by reporters turned invisible, flew through a natural portal and then flew through another close by and ended up stuck here" I told her.

This time I frowned "but now you need to tell me how in the world you suddenly got ghost powers!" I shouted.

Behind me Ash and Brock made little sounds that sounded like snickers.

I growled and she sighed "we couldn't find you and the specter speeder was busted, Your parents were trying to rebuild the portal that you destroyed with your stupidity act and when it didn't work Jazz knew why" she said.

I smirked "they made the same mistake huh?" I asked.

Sam nodded "yeah so I got the idea that the three of us make it work, of course the media put two and two together so every one knows already and we decided to split" she said.

I looked at Danielle "since I don't quite trust her to give an honest answer, what does she mean split" I asked.

Danielle smiled "Tucker had to stay in Amity being mayor and Jazz wanted to stay with her new boyfriend Tucker" she said simply.

I burst out laughing "no seriously" I said.

Behind me I could feel the others confusion behind me while Sam and Danielle's faces became serious.

I groaned "alright we'll worry about that later, for now we need to help them" I said motioning to the trio behind me.

The two nodded "Rowan already told us" Sam said.

This time me and the trio were confused "you guys already met with Rowan" I asked.

Danielle nodded "yeah and he told us you were helping some good friends of his to save a lugia and we told him about our powers" she said.

The Sam grew very exited "he explained about pokemon and gave us pokedex's and six pokemon to me so we could help, he assumed our powers would be dangerous to use so we need to try pokemon, though Danielle got hers a different way" she explained.

Danielle slowly reached for her black book bag while Sam did the same for her black book bag.

Dawn stood up behind me "oh can we see? And Danny can you show us those ones you just caught" she asked excitedly.

The three of us grinned and took out six poke balls each and released them.

Sam released a Bulbasaur, mudkip, squirtle, cyndaquil, charmander, and chikorita.

Danielle released a ninetails, squirtle, bulbasaur, pikachu, vaporeon, and meowth.

I then went ahead and released destiny, wild fire, rose, houndour, growlithe, and absol.

I paused and looked at the three "man I still got to get nicknames for these three" I whined.

Dawn laughed "that's right, and lets hope their as good as the other three" she said.

I thought for a second while studying them.

They seemed to have complete personality changes. both growlithe and houndour were happily playing with the others while absol looked like she felt out of place.

I searched my mind for good nick names "how about ghost for houndour, Cujo for growlithe" I smiled and paused at Sam and Danielle's outburst of laughter "Valerie is so gonna kill you, and now that every one knows about both of you she wouldn't be afraid to launch a few blasts at you here and there" Sam taunted.

I shrugged and looked at absol. I noticed he was mainly black and white and stood at the back of the group "absol's nickname is Phantom" I said quietly.

Danielle smiled "and what is the rest of their nicknames" she asked.

I laughed and smiled at Dawn "rose, wild fire, and my favorite, destiny, she was my first" I said.

Then I turned to the two "and what about yours" I asked.

Dawn ran up to theirs while Ash grew bored and went back into the water.

Brock decided to begin cooking lunch.

Sam yawned "the bulbasaur is Tucker, chikorita is Jazz, charmander is Dora, mudkip is Danielle, squirtle is Valerie and my first and favorite of the bunch, cyndaquil, is Danny" I said.

I laughed "good names" I taunted.

Both of us blushed and turned to Danielle.

She smiled "bulbasaur is Clockwork, squirtle is Wulf, meowth is Casper, vaporeon is shadow, ninetails is star light, and pikachu is sparky" she said simply.

I smirked "very creative, hey want to sit down, we should probably explain to Brock what's goin on at least, and you two still have to explain how you found me" I said.

We all four walked over and sat down by Brock.

I sighed "need an explanation" I asked.

Brock nodded "better than me and Ash being kept in the dark since Dawn doesn't seem at all confused" he said.

Dawn blushed "she found out about my special 'problem' while I was freeing rose" I said.

Brock nodded "well, you see, back where I come from there are humans and ghosts, and my parents are ghost hunters…" I was interrupted by Dawn "your parents are ghost hunters, that is cruel and kinda depressing, did they know" she asked.

I shook my head "well anyway they were trying to build a portal to the ghost world and it didn't work, then my parents went and quit and Sam here dared me to go in" I said.

Sam flinched "and now I know, your screams didn't near describe the pain, it really does hurt" she said.

I rolled my eyes "and you called me stupid" I muttered.

Then I cleared my throat "well anyways while I was in it I accidentally pushed the 'on' button that was inside, next thing I know I felt a lot of pain and when I woke up I was half ghost half human" I finished.

Brock stared at us "and judging from your conversation your friends tried and successfully repeated the experiment?" he asked.

I glared at Sam "some of them, Danielle didn't, she is a clone made by an enemy of mine but we would rather think of each other as cousins" I said easily.

Danielle gave me a playful shove "not anymore" she said.

I raised an eye brow "why not" I asked curiously.

She smiled widely "because, your parents adopted me" she said.

I smiled and gave her a hug "that's so great" I exclaimed.

Then I turned to Sam "now tell, how did you find me, the portal I went through closed" I said.

Sam smiled "open your book bag" she ordered.

I did curiously "all that's in is my ghost hunting gear" I said.

Sam smiled "ghost hunting gear that you parents installed trackers in after the 'evil ghost kid Danny Phantom' stole all of their stuff" she said using quotes.

I groaned and looked closely at some of the devices.

Sure enough there were small trackers on all of them "figures, but they do still think I'm good right" I asked nervously.

Sam smiled and hugged me "Danny you just saved the world, even Valerie accepts you!" she said.

I sighed and we turned to Brock "so when do you think we'll get to lugia" I asked.

Brock looked at his map "I think if we're lucky and we travel through the night we can get there by morning" he said.

I nodded "by the way Danny, I've seen those twos 'ghost forms' but can I see yours" he asked.

I shifted nervously "I can try" I muttered.

Sam caught on "what do you mean try" she asked.

I took a deep breath and allowed the rings to wash over me.

However, nothing happened.

I looked down, nothing.

I groaned and Sam put a hand on my shoulder "are you losing your powers" she gasped.

I gulped "I don't know why, I was able to do intangibility and healing no problem last night then I went into ghost form and couldn't fully get it, then I tried using invisibility and I had to strain to keep it" I said quickly.

Sam suddenly snapped her fingers "that's why that ecto blast was so weak, I was wondering why you wouldn't attack when you were in trouble" she said.

Then Danielle tensed "not even his ghost sense is working, Danny, you didn't sense us did you" she asked.

My eyes widened and I shook my head.

In frustration I fell back against the sand.

Sam looked thoughtful "lets see, the only enemies you've ever had that have gotten rid of your powers are…" she asked.

I groaned "my dad, Desiree, my dad, Plasmious, freakshow, Plasmious, ember when she was with young blood, and that's it" I finished lamely.

All of us looked thoughtful "let's see, Plasmious has become our first space nomad because of your dad, your mom would kill your dad if he did any experiments on you, Desiree was dating fright night last I checked and way to busy, ember is with Skulker, both distracted, and the little brat has got himself caught at the bottom of the ocean again with a ghost shield" she finished.

I groaned and looked to where the pokemon were having mock fights.

Finally Ash got out of the water and came over to us.

After a few minutes I looked carefully at Danielle "so how did you get your pokemon exactly" I asked carefully.

Danielle grinned and looked at hers "we ran into another pokemon, he said he was called mewtwo" she said quietly.

Brock and Ash both gasped "you met mewtwo!?!" they asked.

Danielle nodded "he said he was a clone so I told him how I was too, I then told him how I had a pokedex and poke balls but I refused to take any from Rowan because it didn't seem right for a clone to have pokemon, then mewtwo told me how he had many cloned pokemon and he had six come with me" she said softly.

Then Ash looked closely at them "hey, I just noticed that three were clones from my pokemon, that's so cool, and if I remember right my pikachu was really close to the cloned one" he said.

Danielle got a hint of annoyance on her face "his name is sparky" she said.

Ash laughed "I like the name" he complimented.

Then he looked closely at Danielle "so who's clone are you?" he asked.

Danielle sighed in frustration which caused me to laugh "mine" I said simply.

Then I gave her a friendly hug "but we prefer to be called brother and sister" she said teasingly.

I sighed and looked out to the water.

Besides me Sam sighed as well and put her hand on mine.

I turned my gaze to her and gave her a small smile.

She returned it silently and I turned towards Ash "so why did Rowan want you guys to help Lugia anyways" I asked.

Ash shrugged "I always seem to get caught up in things having to do with legendary pokemon" he said looking thoughtful.

I looked down "I think I kinda know what you mean" I said quietly.

Sam nudged him "I think you mean we" she said quietly.

I grinned "no, I mean me, Sammy" I teased.

I quickly jumped out of Sam's reach as she grabbed for me.

And rolling to my feet I took off running away from her.

Somehow after about five minutes we both ended up in the water playfully splashing each other "lunch!" Brock called.

Dripping wet we both trudged back up to the beach.

Once we sat Sam turned intangible to get the water off of her.

Then she leaned over and did the same for me which made me feel weird "what's wrong Danny" she asked.

I sighed "you know perfectly well what" I replied gloomily.

Sam sighed "ignore it, we'll talk to your parents when we get home" she assured.

I sighed and nodded then looked at the other trio.

Brock handed me Danielle and Sam our lunch and after some difficult convincing to Sam that there was no meat we had a peaceful meal.

after words we split into two groups on the lapras.

Dawn, Ash, and Brock went on one while I went with Sam and Danielle on another.

After a while I turned to Danielle and Sam "we have a problem" I said quietly.

Sam folded her arms "we know your losing your powers" she said.

I shook my head "every night since the disasteroid thing I always have the same dream, I hear a girl call out 'Ash' and I run through the bushes and see them around lugia, I see Ash jump onto lugia's neck, they are being chased by two people, behind them is a cat shaped hot air balloon, what's more, the two people are the ones that sent the message about lugia" I told them quietly.

They looked down "well you can always battle with your pokemon, especially if you evolve them" Sam said.

I nodded and looked at the sea.
