Sara

I woke up to the sound of a Dodrio crying at sunrise. Yesterday was a strange day, after we had battled an Ekans and then also got clobbered by some Gloom. But today was a new day; we were going to find Metang, who would hopefully have the answers to free everyone from this spell of some sort. I woke up pretty early, so everyone else was still asleep. I decided to get up and look around outside, since I hadn't been outside of the cottage since we got here. Luckily, the window was open so I climbed out and noticed that we were right by the forest. I saw the Dodrio standing on top of the house, but once it saw me it ran away. There were some Nidoran playing chase in the forest, as far as I could see, and towards the field there were some Ponytas running around and eating grass. Down by the creek there was a Bulbasaur and a Munchlax getting a drink, but then the Munchlax splashed the Bulbasaur in the face and they started chasing each other. I decided to curl up on the grass and watch the sunrise. It gave me some time to think about a lot of things. What happened before we changed into Pokemon? I don't think we ran into any strange people, nor did we tamper with anything we shouldn't touch. So how come everyone is like this? Just then, I felt something touch my side and I looked over to see a little blue ball. I looked up and saw three little Pokemon: Pichu, Budew, and Gothita standing there unsure if I would give back the ball or not. I took my tail and rolled the ball over to the Budew, but they still looked at me funny.

Finally, the little Pichu asked, "Excuse me miss, do you want to kick the ball around with us?" I looked at them for a while; for they were little kids who had no idea who I was and they still wanted to play with me. I couldn't refuse to have some fun, and who knows, it might actually take my mind off of things. So we ran over to a clear area and began to play.

Nicole

The sun shone brightly through the window and it made me wake up instantly. I yawned in a loud way and noticed Kangaskhan was making some Gummis of all different flavors. I walked over to her and said, "Hi Miss Kangaskhan. Are you making breakfast?"

"It's more like a snack for everyone. By the way, I noticed Sara was outside with Molli and some new friends kicking a ball. You should go play with them. The Gummis will be ready soon."

I walked outside to find the five Pokemon running around with a blue ball. A little Gothita ran up to the ball and kicked it hard towards Sara, who then knocked the ball away with her tail. Molli looked over and noticed I was standing at the doorway, so she motioned me over to play. We played for a long time until Lucario called out, "Sara! Molli! Nicole! It's time to go!" We said good-bye to our new tiny friends, and then hurried off to meet with Lucario and Kangaskhan. "We are about to leave for the Mt. Valiant entrance, which is right by the entrance to the forest. Who knows what Pokemon we will run into, so be on your guard. And don't wander off too far.", explained Lucario. We were all just glad that we didn't have to enter that scary forest again. Soon, we headed out towards the entrance, which turned out to be blocked by a giant boulder. "Now how in the world did that get in the way?" Lucario questioned himself. With that, he created a light blue ball with his hands and shot it at the boulder, shattering it into pieces. We all stood there in amazement; for it must have took a lot of power to do that.

"Mr. Lucario, what was that you just did? With the sphere?" Molli asked in a puzzled tone.

"That was a move called Aura Sphere," Lucario explained. "It's a legendary move, but the only non-legendaries that can learn this move are myself, a Togekiss, a Mienfoo and its evolved form: Mienshao. That rock had no chance against my power!"

"Aura Sphere", I said in a low breath. He said a Togekiss can learn that move. Togekiss is my fully-evolved form! But do I even evolve? If I ever become a Togekiss, I want Mr. Lucario to teach me that move really badly!

As we entered the cave, we saw a Geodude running away. I could tell that there were going to be a lot of rock types in this area. The inside of the mountain looked pretty big and full of ledges and, of course, rocks. The first room we entered was a very small room with 2 corridors with no clues as to which one to take. Because of this dilemma, we decided to split up: I went with Lucario down the right corridor and everyone else took the left. "Both ways end up where Metang resides, but each way may have different clues as to what is going on. There may also be Pokemon that need our help." Lucario explained, and then we went our separate ways.

The hallway seemed to go on forever, so I decided to ask Lucario some questions. "Mr. Lucario? What were you like as a human? Were you married to Miss Kangaskhan?" He stopped for a second, then proceeded saying, "Well yes, we are married. I was actually a Pokemon police officer in those days. That's why I take everything pretty serious. That is also why I am very involved in figuring out what has happened to all of the humans on this planet and why we all changed like this."

"Do you have any ideas yet?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, no I don't. But that is why I believe Metang will have our answers, for he is an extremely smart Pokemon as far as I know. Say, you seem to know a lot about Pokemon actually."

"Yeah, I was actually a Pokemon Junior professor. I hoping to one day become a top brain when it comes to Pokemon…..maybe even as smart as Metang!"

"I'm sure that if you keep trying your best, you could be as smart as him. What about your friends? What do they do?"

"Oh, well Molli is a Coordinator and Sara is a Pokemon trainer. We were all traveling together because we were friends even before our journey. I also had a partner, Poochyena!"

"Oh really? What became of him?"

That question made me stop dead in my tracks. "I-I-I have no idea actually. We got separated after I turned into this. I went out to look for him, but no luck." I wonder what happened to him. I really hope he is okay. He must be scared, poor little guy, for I've had him since he hatched from an egg and he isn't familiar with the wild. I'm getting sick in my stomach just worrying about him.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but if he was YOUR partner then I'm sure that, just like his trainer, he will be able to fight for his own." Lucario assured me.

Soon, we arrived at a big room filled with boulders and ledges. There was even a little pond in the middle. Lucario pointed up towards a hold in the wall about 3 floors up. "That is where we need to go. Come on, let's look around for a way up." We began to walk, but after a few steps I heard Lucario shout, "Watch out!", and used Aura Sphere on a boulder that almost landed on me. It really scared the life out of me and I had pants on, they would've probably been soaked by now. We decided to investigate and looked around the area that the boulder had flew towards us from. We looked behind this giant rock, where we heard grunting noises and found….

What was it that almost killed Nicole? Poor Nicole, worried about Poochyena….Updates soon! Leave comments!
