More Chapters! Yay! I might take a short break to play Alpha Sapphire. No worries! I'm making a fanfic on that too.

Chapter Eight

The Munna she found seemed to like her a lot. It was another boy and it appeared happy when she named it Moon. Touko went to Fennel's house after mocking Bianca, who just smiled. Fennel had just thanked her many times before sending her on her way.

Touko looked up the orange sky. On the map, Nacrene didn't seem far away, so she decided to risk it. She quickly regretted it. On route 3, she was challenged by many preschoolers, but the day care aide healed her Pokémon as she went on her way. Soon, she was challenged once more by Cheren.

"Touko, stop! We both have a Trio badge, so let's see which one of us is stronger!" Touko grinned.

"So be it Cher Bear!" He glared.

"I told you not to call me that!" He blushed.

"Cherry Berry? Just plain Cherry? Cher?" She winked.

"Just shut it and let's battle!" He sent out Snivy and Touko used the first Pokémon she pulled out of her bag, which happened to be Pin.

"Snivy, use growth!" Snivy used a move that Touko had never seen before. It didn't do anything to Pin.

"Pin, use sand attack!" Pin kicked sand into Snivy's eyes. Snivy rubbed its eyes furiously.

"Now scratch" Pin raked his claws against Snivy's face. It cried out.

"Use leer!" Snivy tried to, but it couldn't see Pin and failed.

"Scratch again!" Pin scratched Snivy's side.

"Use leer!" Snivy finally got the sand out of its eyes and used the move on Pin who was cowering under the gaze.

"It's okay Pin! Use scratch!" It was too late.

"Use vine whip!" Snivy's green vines hit Pin harshly and it fainted. Cheren grinned. Touko had Pin return.

"It's okay… You tried your best." She sent out Argos, promising to heal Pin later.

"Use vine whip again!" Cheren called out. Argos narrowly dodged.

"Use bite!" Argos bit Snivy's flank.

"Snivy get Argos off of you!" Snivy threw Argos off, but he just latched on again, causing Snivy to call out and collapse. Touko grinned at Cheren, who reluctantly returned Snivy to his Poké Ball. Cheren then sent out a Purrloin.

"Purrloin, use scratch!" Purrloin scratched Argos's muzzle.

"Use tackle!" Argos obliged and hit the Purrloin, knocking it over.

"Scratch!" Cheren commanded.

"Dodge and use tackle again!" Argos moved swiftly to the side then hit the Purrloin again. It stumbled.

"Tackle again!" Argos hit it one more time and Purrloin fainted. They returned their Pokémon and Cheren glared at her.

"Why do I always lose?" He muttered. Suddenly, a voice called out.

"Get out of the way!" Two Team Plasma grunts ran past.

"What was that?" Cheren blinked and turned around.

"Bianca? Why are you running?" Cheren asked. Bianca ran up to them with a little girl in tow.

"Did you see where those people went?" Bianca asked.

"That way, but…" Touko turned and pointed the direction the people had gone.

"Why are you running?" Cheren finished.

"Oh, seriously! Those people run so fast!" Bianca hopped in place. The little girl turned to her.

"Um… Miss? My Pokémon?" Her eyes teared up and Bianca turned to her.

"It's okay. It's okay. Don't cry." Bianca patted her head.

"Bianca really, why were you running?" Cheren asked. Touko was staring in the direction the people had gone. Team Plasma was really starting to get on her nerves.

"You have to hear this! Those people stole this girl's Pokémon!" Bianca explained angrily.

"You should have said something sooner!" Touko said.

"Let's go get that Pokémon back. Bianca! Please stay by this girl's side," Cheren said. Bianca momentarily frowned.

"Okay…" She said, feeling left out again. Soon, Touko and Cheren took off running in the darkness. Touko no longer cared about being tired or getting to Nacrene. All she wanted to save this girl's Pokémon and stop Team Plasma. She began to hate them. Who did they think they were anyways? They were cruel.

My poor Pin! it happened so fast too... Oh well... Anyways... Please review! Also... Boo Team Plasma!
