It has certainly been a hell of a long time! I have been logging in but just not uploading any more chapters. I do apologise with all my heart about the month long delay. I had a mini block for a few months and then got tied down wiith the tortures of cognitive psychology. College threw me off writing this little as I had to write a piece of creativve literary writing for my English A level. (You can read the 1st draft of it as I uploaded it. I will update it to the final, better version when I can be botheed and remember.) I realised that I enjoy writing this and therefore should let by creative juices flow once more as it relieces the stresses of having to resit two exams from January as well as all my current exams. All my readers are probably OAPs or dead from old age now considering how long it took for me to update this. IF ANYONE IS STILL ALIVE SPEAK TO ME! aND DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT! Ok on with the show!

Striding down the corridor, I glanced down at Espeon who was bounding along beside me. After spending my whole childhood fixed in front of the television or my Gameboy, it was so weird actually having my own Pokemon. Suddenly Espeon froze, her tufted ears tilting slowly back and forth like a radar. Pausing, I squatted down next to her.

"What's up? What can you hear" I asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.

"Eon!" Espeon exclaimed, her eyes widening slightly.

She jumped forwards until her ear was almost touching the door we had stopped in front of. I mimicked her. I could hear a high-pitched voice talking inside. Everything being said was all coded, almost like listening to another language.

"Come on Espeon, lets get outta here ASAP" I said, the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach getting progressively worse the more I heard. As much as it pained me slightly to stop listening to this strange one-sided conversation, the anxiety I had building up in my gut while I did was seriously unsettling me.

"Are you looking for something Anna?" a voice said bluntly.

Alarmed I sprung up to a standing position. Bruno looked at me sternly. Instantly I had a flashback to when I was 7 and used to get caught stealing sweets before teatime.

"Huh, oh hey Bruno. How are you today? I was… just looking for you but didn't want to disturb you so got Espeon to use her superior hearing to see if you were in your room with Lola" I bluffed.

"Oh really. Well ok, what do you actually want me for then?" Bruno asked slowly. He appeared to believe me mostly however I could easily spy the suspicion present in his eyes.

"What….Oh yeah, umm I was wondering if you fancied coming along with me and Koga for a cup of tea at that new coffee shop in Cerulean City." I stammered.

"Sure, sounds good, I could do with some caffeine running through my body." Bruno said giving a small smile

"Would make a change from all the steroids." I muttered barely audibly under my breath.

"Hey twiggy! I heard that you know! I am 100% natural muscle I'll have you know." Bruno chuckled, getting me in a wrestling style move.

"Ouch! You're strong you know. Anyway I aren't meant to be all muscled and manly as you, I'm a girl. If I was it would be scary." I complained wriggling helplessly in his firm, vice like arms. Bruno laughed again, tightening his hold on me. Espeon purred in amusement. Obviously she found Bruno's dominating over me rather funny.

"Since young Will is a rather weedy fellow it would indeed." Bruno admitted.

"I'll tell him that. Then he'll put that Bannette poke-doll you're frightened of in your bed again" I threatened. Bruno gave a slight low growl and tightened his hold on me.

At that instant Lola emerged from the room looking quite flustered. Seeing us with our bodies awkwardly intertwined in a wrestling style position, she pouted.

"Oh hello, looks like you two are having fun" she said, her voice and expression unreadable.

Automatically Bruno released me, causing me to drop to the floor. Getting to my feet I turned to leave.

"Anna-O!" Bruno called after me. "What time for Coffee?"

"What?" I said confused.

"The coffee, that is why you were trying to hear if I was in my room wasn't it?" He asked curiously. Lola's eyes bore into my face in gleeful curiosity. I gave a mental face-palm.

"Oh yeah, Of course. Whenever you and Koga are free. Maybe around 1 O'clock?" I suggested hurriedly. Great now Lola could assume (rightly) that I had been trying top overhear her conversation. Bruno nodded.

"Maybe I'll bring my LoLo with me?" he said glancing affectionately at Lola. I held back the urge to gag. Instead I gave them an overly exaggerated smile.

"Sure whatever's fine with me."

As I strode down the corridor I met the poison master.

"Koga, you and I are going for Coffee at 10" I said offhandedly over my shoulder. I heard him screech to a halt.

"What! That's a bit sudden for me to rearrange all my training and battles." He complained.

"Lola might be coming." I said sharply.

"I'll meet you there Anna" Koga said.

"Pervert!" I called back. "

Alien!" He replied challengingly. Espeon purred again in amusement.

Back in my room, I sprawled on my bed trying to comprehend what was going on with Lola. She was up to something for sure and whatever it was involved the Elite 4. She had brain-washed Bruno with her feminine charms so he was out of the question for using as an agent to spy on her. Sighing in frustration, I glared at the ornate ceiling.

Why was I here in the first place? There must be a reason for this dimension-trotting of mine. Then was the even bigger predicament of how, and more importantly if ever, I will get back to my home.

Swallowing my longing to see my mum, I glanced at the shape of the far off cliffs holding the Tohjo ruins separating New Bark Town from the entrance to Victory Road. I will find out what Lola is doing and find the answer as to why I am here with or without Karen, Will, Koga, Bruno and Lance's help. With many thoughts buzzing round my head like a flock of angry Beedrill, I slowly drifted into a restless slumber.

Ok. So nothing major happened in this. What were you expecting, Cyrus to leap out of a dimensionall hole and drag Anna back to her world? (Actually that sounds pretty cool, I might use it haha) Anna merely pondered the complexities of her current situation and our suspicions about Lola deepen. What do you think she is up to? Do tell as I am curious as to what you think. The readon little happens is to substitute the fact that the next chapter is a little different from previous ones.
