Sorry about the long update! It's just that I'm in the middle of many stories and life is pretty busy… Alright, please enjoy, and I don't own the Pokémon but I do own the actual game.

"Good morning Tia-Tia!" I opened one eye to see who it was. I glanced up at Bianca, who was all cheery, despite the fact it was eight in the morning. I groaned, slightly annoyed at Bianca. I wasn't a huge fan of waking up early.

"Ugh." I muttered back, not wanting to move. I saw a folded note on my bedside table, and I remembered N. "Oh, I have to go! Don't tell Cheren!" I quickly got up, grabbing the note, and began to ran out of the hospital.

"Wait Tia! Where are you going? It's not like you to be so hasty, especially in the morning!" I ran outside, summoning my Vullaby. "TIA!"

"I need to go somewhere; it's important!" I hissed, telling Vullaby to use fly. I jumped on, and flew off to Accumula City. I heard my Xtransceiver ring, but I ignored it. I was surprised it still had service in the air. I landed in Accumula City, and walked over to a familiar green-haired boy, his arms crossed. He leaned against the Pokémon Center.

"I see you didn't forget." He muttered.

"N…" I answered. "Where have you…"

"Let's not get into details now." N muttered. "The point is, avoid Ghetsis at all costs. He will do whatever to get to you. Enough said." And like that, N summoned an Unfezant, and flew off.

"Wait, N!" I yelled back at him, but it was too late. I watched him and Unfezant fly off until he was no longer in sight.

"Tia, there you are!" I turned, and saw Bianca and Cheren fly over. I gulped, as I forced a smile. "Why did you leave?"

"I-I needed air…" I lied, avoiding eye contact.

"Tia, don't even try to lie; we all know you can't lie." Cheren said, crossing his arms. Both of my best friends stared at me, waiting for an answer. I sighed in defeat, and handed them the note N gave me.

"Oh Tia… Don't count on that guy! He never does any good!" Bianca said.

"I know… I just can't help it…" I murmured.

"Tia, he can't be trusted. Whether he changed or not, he still was the leader of Team Plasma. He can do any harm at a given moment."

"But Cheren, he changed!" I pleaded. "He doesn't want a thing to do with Team Plasma anymore!"

"Tia, Cheren's right…" Bianca agreed. "I know you would agree if you were thinking logically…"

"Logically? Is that what this about? Are you calling me insane just because maybe I got injured? I'm perfectly sane, thank you very much! Just because I might have slight injuries, doesn't mean I'm insane!" I exclaimed.

"Tia… that's not what Bianca meant…" Cheren muttered. Cheren led Bianca away from me. Out of curiosity, I followed, hiding behind the Pokémon Center. Bianca peered around, probably checking for me.

"Cheren, we're both thinking the same thing, right?" Bianca said. Cheren nodded, almost reluctantly. "What would she do if he were to betray her?"

"I don't know…" Cheren admitted.

"I mean, love is a strong thing!" Love? Is that what they honestly think I feel for N? I was done with hiding.

"For one thing, I'm not in love with N." Both of them turned fiercely to me. "What, did you honestly think I would just walk away?"

"Tia…" Bianca gulped. "Ah, uh, um, err…" She giggled uncontrollably.

"Tia, whether you like N or not isn't the issue." Cheren said, however his expression seemed to say otherwise. "It's your safety. I specifically told you to stay in the hospital, and you did not. Tia, if Team Plasma is truly back, they clearly want to eliminate you. They would probably do whatever they can to get you; you're their biggest threat." I didn't say anything.

"I'll be careful, but I don't need the hospital." I said.

"Yay, we're all friends again, right?" Bianca said, smiling. Cheren and I turned to her.

"When did we say we weren't friends?" Cheren wondered.

"Well, we were all mad at each other..." Bianca said.

"Actually, only you two were mad at me." I pointed out.

"I wasn't mad at you." Cheren said. The three of were silent for a moment. Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Bianca squealed, all of us summoning our flying Pokémon. I summoned my Swoobat, even though he didn't know fly, and rode on him.

"What's going on?" Bianca exclaimed. Suddenly, we saw a man, middle aged, walking towards us, an Excadril following him.

"Hello, Tia, Cheren and Bianca." The man greeted.

"W-Who are you, and how do you know us?" Bianca exclaimed.

"Oh, you don't recognize me? How about… now?" Suddenly, he changed his costume to reveal Ghetsis. "Now I see the sparks of recognition in your eyes. However, I only have interest in one of you." Ghetsis faced me. "Tia, this is the one time I will ask; join Team Plasma. We have the same goals; to let Pokémon be free."

"That's not even true." I said softly, confidently. "I would sooner dig my grave than join Team Plasma." Bianca grinned at me.

"That's what I thought you would say. Alright, then we'll eliminate you. I have kidnapped your mother." My eyes widened.

"W-What?" I exclaimed.

"That's all now. Au revoir." Like N, Ghetsis disappeared in a flash. To see if he was kidding or not, I summoned Vullaby, and jumped on him, ready to fly.

"Guys, we need to back to Nuvema Town." I said. Bianca and Cheren nodded, releasing their flying Pokémon. We flew back to Nuvema Town, even though we could've easily walked as fast. I dashed to my house, even though I was usually patient. "Mother; are you here?" There was no response. I pulled out my Xtransceiver and dialed my mom's number. She didn't pick up.

"Wait, I can ask Juniper." I said, leaving my house. I knocked on Professor Juniper's lab door. Cedric Juniper got the door instead.

"Oh hello Tia." Cedric greeted.

"Have you seen my mother?" I exclaimed, not bothering to say hi.

"Well, not recently, but I know my daughter was with her yesterday." Cedric said. "I'll ask her." He led us inside. "Aurea! Tia, Bianca, and Cheren want to ask you something." Juniper walked over to us.

"Oh hello guys! Is something the matter?" Juniper asked.

"Have you seen my mother?" I asked her.

"I saw her last night… why, is something wrong?" Juniper asked. I explained the whole situation with Juniper. "Oh my goodness! Did you try her Xtransceiver?" I nodded. "I know it's your mother, but please leave this to me! They want you to go after her, and they want you!"

"Alright…" I agreed.

"Father! You, I, and Bianca are going to save Lana! Cheren, for now, stay with Tia. We might also get Lenora and Burgh to help us." Cedric nodded.

"Oh, alright!" Bianca said. The three of them left to try to save my mother. I sat down on a bench outside. Why did everything have to come down to me?

"Tia…" Cheren sat down beside me. "It will all be fine soon, trust me." I nodded slowly.

"Team Plasma won't stop until they get me though…" I said.

"You can stop them! You were able to do it once, so you can do it again. I understand how you feel; like you have the fate of Unova on your shoulders…"

"I do have the fate of Unova on my shoulders…" I muttered. "Why does everyone think I can do everything? I can't! And now, because of me, my mother is captured! Everyone is going to get hurt for me; should I just give myself in?"

"No." I looked at Cheren. "Tia, this is what they want you to do. They are trying to convince you that you are of no worth, and everyone is sacrificing themselves for you."

"I want to save my mom." I muttered. Cheren didn't say anything. We sat there in silence.

"It's Tuesday… do you want to go to Castelia City and get some Casteliacones?" Cheren asked.

"That sounds good." I said. We flew to Castelia City. We got some Casteliacones, and ate them. As usual, they were really good. "These things are always good. Bianca would be jealous." Cheren nodded, agreeing.

"Hello Tia!" We turned, and saw a little girl. I didn't know her, which scared me a bit. Why was it that everyone knew me, but I knew almost no one? Is that what always happens when you're famous?

"Uh, hi…" I said, never that great with little children. The little girl smiled at me, and ran off. "Did I scare her?" I asked Cheren.

"I don't believe so…" Cheren said. We were silent for a moment. Why was it so awkward?

"Hey Cheren… do you want to have a Pokémon Battle?" I asked.

"No thanks…" Cheren said. I was surprised by his answer. Cheren is usually always up for a battle!

"Is everything alright?" I asked. Cheren chuckled slightly.

"Ironic you should ask that, Tia. It's not me who isn't fine; it's you." Cheren said. "You're the one who is going through so much."

"Well yeah, but…" I started. Again, both of us were silent. At some point, one of us reached for the other's hand, and we both were silent. However, I forgot we were holding hands. Cheren broke the silence, and we had a conversation.

"We should try that at some point." Cheren said.

"It would be cool to find an egg there." I said.

"I mean, I've heard Pokémon bred at the Pokémon Day Care, when they level up, they get stronger. They can even be bred for stronger attacks." Cheren said. I nodded.

"We should head back, it's getting late." I said, checking my Xtransceiver, to see it's midnight. Cheren nodded, and we realized we were holding hands. We immediately separated, blushing. We flew home to Nuvema Town, and went to our houses. I thought about the day. Of course, I was still worried about my mother. I thought about what Bianca and Cheren said about me loving N. I didn't love N… did I? And what were my feelings now for Cheren? I sighed. Just what I need; love interests. I looked over to a picture I had of my dad. What would he have done in this position?
