Nicole

We were standing at the entrance to our first destination in search of a legendary: Whirl Islands. Lucario and I had created a list of locations legendary Pokemon were spotted at. We didn't know which one we would encounter here, but we had to find out. We took extra precaution as we entered the main island's cavern, for we had no idea what to expect. We also kept a sharp eye for any clues that could help us find the legendary, or WHO it was. It was actually a beautiful place to be. There was a waterfall which fell into a small river leading outside into the ocean. You could see many fish-looking Pokemon within the river, including Magikarp and Finneon. Because of the waterfall, the cavern had a very humid feel to it, almost like we were walking in mist. It actually looked very relaxing, and I could see why a legendary would settle here.

"I doubt any evil would come from such a beautiful place like this," said Molli, "why should we look here then?"

"Just because something looks pleasant doesn't mean it is completely peaceful. You cannot trust what the eyes see, but what the heart sees instead." Lucario explained. "That is something to think about for the future."

"That could also be why the legendary chose this place: to throw of those who come here and trespass." Sara pointed out to the little Cheering Pokemon. Sara was right though: Something about this place gave me a chill, even if it DID look extremely relaxing. The legendary could be anywhere. Then again, I decided to take in the moment and listen to the calming sounds of that waterfall. I felt the mist hitting my face, and it felt so refreshing. I snapped back into reality when I heard a roar. It sounded distant, but I could tell it was big.

"What was that?" Molli asked in fear.

"I bet that was our target." Kangaskhan explained. "It sounds like it's far away though, so we may not run into it soon. Let's keep moving."

Sara

As we continued on our way, I kept watch for anything that moved. Then, I noticed something black and its head was stuck in a hole in the wall. "Hey! That Pokemon over there needs help!" I hollered as I ran over towards the poor creature. We all ran over to help the Pokemon as Molli shouted, "Hey are you okay in there?"

"Yes! I'm stuck! Can you pull me out?" it asked us. We all grabbed it (I had to use my teeth since I was four-legged) and pulled as hard as we could until the Pokemon went soaring into the air. Before we had time to catch it, Nicole used Extrasensory to stop its fall. She gently lowered it onto the ground and the Pokemon slowly got up.

"Good job Nicole! You are getting the hang of using your moves!" Lucario said. I walked over to help the Pokemon up and noticed that it was in fact a Yamask. I asked the Yamask if it was okay and he said he was.

"Wait! Where's my mask! Oh bother." it cried as it frantically searched the area for its lost item.

"Here," Kangaskhan said, "Is this it? She was holding a little peach-colored mask that looked like a human face.

"Yes! Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate everyone's help. I heard that roar and jumped in a bit of fright, so I accidentally dropped my mask. I looked in that hole to see if it landed there and ended up getting stuck. Where did you find that?" he asked as he placed his mask back on his tail.

"I found it laying near where you were. What is a Yamask like yourself doing in here anyway?"

"Oh right! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm so rude. My name is Nathan and I once…no it is too crazy to explain." I also noticed he had a sort of British accent in his voice. It sounded cool to me.

'What?" Molli asked, "What sounds crazy?"

"Oh don't fret my child. I mustn't bother you with this crazy predicament I have fallen upon. Do forgive me. I shall be on my way now. Cheerio!" and he began to float away.

"Wait!" Nicole shouted, "If you were going to say that you were once human, we are too! It's not crazy at all! It's happened to a lot of people here!"

"Is that so?" Nathan asked as he strolled back towards us in curiosity. "Well I see that you all have fallen upon this wretched curse that I have as well. Shall I accompany you children in the meantime?"

"If it's not too much trouble, do you mind taking over here? We are going to explore some deeper parts and don't want them getting hurt." Lucario asked. Nathan agreed and Lucario and Kangaskhan left.

Molli

"I don't see why we can't go. I mean, we can handle ourselves." Nicole complained.

"Now now, they are just looking out for you children. That is why they asked me to escort you little ones around the premises." Nathan explained.

"Yeah, Nicole, don't be a baby just because you are a baby Pokemon. You were like this even as a human." Sara said, annoyed by her friend's childish complaining.

"Hey, who is the one who saved Mister Nathan from getting hurt after being tossed into the air? Hmmm, oh yeah, THAT WAS ME!" Nicole argued back.

"Girls, no need to argue." Nathan said as he tried to calm the two.

"They always fought like this back when they were human," Molli explained to the Ghost type, "It never ends."

"Ahh I see. Well this won't solve anything. Now Nicole and Sara, why don't we press on and search for this legendary that you are looking for." They both looked at each other and said in a rough way, "Fine."

I could feel the tension as we paraded around the Whirl Islands. I never understood what sparked these two, but even as humans they got on each other's nerves. One got fed up with the other or one decided to start something. I wouldn't be surprised if they started battling each other. One thing was for sure: If this legendary didn't kill us, they probably would.

So it seems that Sara and Nicole don't get along so well. Will this affect the journey? And what legendary will they find? Stay tuned!
