Reply to the reviews:

LyraXEthan: Hmm... You are somewhat right about the Sliver Mask :D

SplitHeart1120: You'll see in this chapter at how the rest are and... Don't worry! Brianna and her crew wouldn't be appearing in this story! :D

LoverLoverGirl: Hehehehe... Of course I couldn't kill them *Smiles Sheepishly*

Disclaimer: DarkRoseDiamond does not own Pokémon.

P.S. This chapter is mainly a filler chapter which focuses on Boyztown and Sliver Masks. AND, most importantly, entering two VERY IMPORTANT and LOVED characters!

Before you guys start reading this chapter, think about this, in Assassins in Hearthome High, there are only four girls that are "rivals" to the Maple Sisters for Boyztown love. AND. In the Sliver Masks, there are SIX people. Here is something for you guys to think about. *Gives a lopsided grin*

Chapter 7: Enter Gary and Leaf! Oldrivalshipping!

(With the Sliver Masks) (Normal POV)

"Who do you guys think we can recruit?" Deceit sighed. "I think we should choose Trapper from in Rank 7. Records have shown that she is performing very well." Shadow said as she uses vines from her Grass power to lift the Records of possible newbies.

"I thought the air powers Flyer has will be useful." Helper commented. "Why?" Deceit asked. "Since her air powers can create tornadoes, which can be used to flush out invisible air craft's and to remove all oxygen from the area!" Shadow read from Flyer's record.

Decoy spoke up, "So have we decided on Flyer and Trapper?" "Why Trapper? Shadow, she has Grass powers like you. We don't need another one." Deceit argued. "It is difficult constructing vine traps or a garden maze on my own. Having another helper will be useful. Besides, I believe her other hidden abilities may be different from me." Shadow said with a smirk.

"Okay. Let's go and tell the commander about our choices." Deceit said as she teleported them all to the commander's room.

(Normal POV)

Two weeks have passed since Amelia, Dawn and Misty have gotten into the accident. When Brendan asked May to be his girlfriend, Drew was behind them along with the rest of Boyztown. Boyztown appeared to be happy for their relationship.

Appeared to be is the keywords.

Since now Misty, Dawn and Amelia are all almost fully recovered, May decides that it will be a good time to break the news that she and Brendan are dating to them.

(In the Maple Mansion...) (May's POV)

"Hey sisters!" May greeted them in the morning when they settle down for breakfast. "Hey May!" Amelia said, passing May a cup of milk. "Finally you woke up!" Misty exclaimed as she fry the eggs. "Where's Dawn?" May asked, looking around. "Still asleep." Amelia laughed. "I'll go and wake her up." May said.

She went back up to Dawn's room. She took a deep breath to control her thoughts. Last time when they were an Assassin, my fire powers were just at a weak stage. At that time, all I can do is start small fires and create a few fireballs at a go. But now, I can make the atmosphere warmer and I can also make the atmosphere colder by absorbing the warmth. And in addition to all the training I receive, I can grow small plants which can be useful for starting stronger and larger flames.

Misty's water powers have also grown. Last time, she can only wake some water balls and fire squirts of water. Now she can create water sprouts, waves and waterfalls. And if we ever need to go underwater, not a problem as she can make air bubbles for us. Even she is supposed to be weak against electricity; she is strong enough to create small electric shocks. So she usually uses it in a combination with Amelia.

Dawn's ice powers are very strong now. She can turn the temperature to freezing cold. Ice balls and ice beams are possible. With a snap of her finger, volia! The entire room or place becomes a snow city. She can create tiny earthquakes and cracks through the ground by stomping. It is useful to trap enemies.

Amelia's psychic powers. Last time, immobilizing is the only thing she can do. But now, her psychic powers enable her to read the minds of people, lift people into the air and to know where someone is instantly. In addition, she has gained some simple dark powers like making people sleep and to prevent people from remembering things.

I made the room scorching hot; Dawn was extremely sensitive to the warmth having ice powers and all. Dawn groaned and said, "I surrender!" I smirked and turned the temperature back to normal.

"See you downstairs. I got an announcement to make." I said and went off.

We were all seated when Dawn come. "So what is the announcement you want to make?" Dawn asked. The other two stared at me. "We're waiting." Amelia said. Amelia had promised never to use her power to read minds on us unless absolutely necessary.

"I'm dating Brendan Birch from Rock IT." I said.

Dawn squealed, "Ooh! I knew it that he have the hots for you when we were with them! And I just knew it that you will eventually fall for his charm!"

Misty laughed, "I guess you'll be happy being with Brendan!"

"I know! And guess what? Drew and the rest said congrats to us! And now I'm kinda like, friends with them!" I said cheerfully. "Congrats on getting over the guilt! I still haven't." Dawn said.

When the girls left the boys because they are Assassins, they all felt guilty. Thus, they were kinda avoiding them.

(Normal POV)

Misty, May and Dawn were so happy talking over "getting over the guilt" and "May being with Brendan" that they didn't notice Amelia sitting there silently, her eyes wide.

(With Boyztown) (Normal POV)

"So guys, what do you think?" Lance asked Boyztown. "I think it is fantastic! We don't mind making this group a five member group!" Drew said.

"Especially that it is Gary Oak! He is my best friend since childhood!" Ash exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I really enjoy the times we work with him." Paul said. "Why did he suddenly decide to stop being a solo artist and join us?" Justin wondered.

"He said that he is really lonely when he goes around in tours. There is no one he can confide to and he really misses having friends around." Lance said.

"AWESOME! How about we start thinking of making a new album? That can be the debut album of Boyztown as a five member group!" Justin suggested. "Good idea, I'll go and see what songs I can write for you guys."

"Mmm... Lance? I think I want to make some contributions to the album as well. With some songs I've written on my own." Drew said quietly.

"Sure! That can be an album which debuts all of you as songwriters! Without any co-writers to co-write your songs like the previous few albums!" Lance suggested. "Sounds good to me." Paul said.

(Commander's room.) (Commander's POV)

Ahh... Never would I thought that those injections those scientists of mine made can give my underlings powers.

I've given Deceit the power to be able to create sounds. One of those powers is mental sound. Other people will not hear this sound. But the target will experience a pain in their mind. She is able to use sound waves to fend off attacks and to attack.

Decoy has the powers to create illusions. She can create them in people's mind as well.

Helper's powers? Simple, she is able to charm men with her magic and has basic ice powers to freeze them or make the air colder.

Flyer can fly a little distance every now and then. She got the power to create gusts of wind and twisters.

Trapper can grow vines and plants. She will be able to help Shadow speed up trapping enemies.

For some reason, Shadow already has in born powers. This is good because those injected powers are limited. They cannot become stronger. Unless the scientists invented an even stronger injection for them. But for Shadow, it is possible.

Shadow has Earth powers. Vines or plants can sprout from the ground. She usually uses those vines to construct a net to trap people. She is able to construct mazes to stall enemies. Since Shadow's powers gets stronger when she trains, thus she is able to use some water power. Using the water powers enable her to speed up the growing rate of plants. Her water powers can only create some air bubbles and water guns.

"So commander, how should we train the newbies?" Shadow's voice broke my train of thoughts. "Start working together in the room I specially prepared for you." Sliver Masks are the best underlings I have, so preparing a special room for their training is essential.

"Learn to understand each other in order to work together better. Think up of ways or combinations to distract your foes. And train your fighting skills."

"AWESOME! I love hand to hand combat!" Trapper grinned as she gets into a fighting stance. All of us laughed. I may be serious with them at times, but I've learnt to relax every once in a while.

You may be saying I'm losing up too much. But I've learnt from mistakes in the past.

(With Rock IT) (Barry's POV)

(A/N: I've never attempted doing Barry's POV before, so correct me if I make him OOC or just plain bad.)

"Hey Brendan, do you think Amelia will accept if I ask her to be my girlfriend?" I asked as I tuned my guitar.

Right now, all of Rock IT is tuning their instruments. They are going to be having a concert in a few hours, so tuning their instruments is a must and it is a way for them to relax.

"How would we know?" Rudy laughed as he shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "We are not Amelia." "Besides, what do you think about Misty? Do you think she'll be my girlfriend if I ask?" Rudy added.

"OH. How would we know? We are not Misty." Barry imitated Rudy in a high pitched, girly voice and shrugged his shoulders. Brendan and Kenny both laughed. "Dunno. Hey, maybe during the Hearthome MBSR concert we should make a move." Barry suggested.

The MBSR concert is a concert where Maple Sisters, Boyztown, Sliver Babes and Rock IT are performing in it. Since these four groups (Even though Amelia and Dawn are in modelling and acting respectively, they sometimes join Misty and May in singing, thus, forming Maple Sisters) are leading the music now, having the MBSR concert will earn lots of money.

"Good idea! Hey maybe we should..." Rudy's voice dropped down to a whisper as he tells Barry his plan to "win their hearts".

"Come on! We want to be in the plan!" Kenny protested. "Well well well my friend, you're going to have to WAIT. MUAHAHAHAHA!" Barry sniggered.

(Normal POV)

Right now, Maple Sisters, Boyztown, Sliver Babes and Rock IT are all busy preparing for the upcoming MBSR concert.

The Sliver Masks are also training hard.

Soon, the Maple Sisters will be forced to return back to their Assassin self. And eventually, they will have to choose love or fame.

But when will the time for them to return back to their Assassin self? Will it be when the Sliver Mask first strikes? Will it be too late by then? Or can they make use of their powers to help them?

The Sliver (With the Commander) (Commander's POV)

"Alright Sliver Masks. You've trained well." I said. "Your next mission? Is to strike at the MBSR concert."

Done! Questions arise.

Why is Amelia staring silently when they are congratulating May?

Who are the Sliver Masks?

Who are the Sliver Babes?

Gary has appeared (kind of), but where is Leaf?

Whoever that can answer these four questions will be dedicated a one shot and will decide which shipping does he or she wants to get together first! Read the chapter carefully, because clues are in it, everywhere. Refer to the previous chapter for one of the questions may be useful.

Did the question I mention before the chapter got you thinking? I hope so!

Remember to thank Waveripple of Team sunrise about Contestshipping Day! Get excited for IS and CS days! *Throws confetti into the air*

And lastly, REVIEW!

With that, HAPPY THINKING!
