A/N: I apologize if I sounded whiny in my author's notes at the end of last chapter. I write my author's notes with the document of each chapter on my iPod before I send it to my computer to be posted, and I usually end up writing them at 3 in the morning. I'm greatful to everyone who has reviewed, and if you haven't, I hope you will take the time to do so. Feedback is awesome, especially since I feel I'm floundering in my first real attempt in the Pokemon fandom.

Disclaimin' Time.

I do not own Kyo, Mikaela, Felix, Landon, or Lolita (who belong to KingOfStories01, Mikaela the Cat, UmbraFox, ASDFG96, and lightwolfheart respectively). Nor do I own Pokemon (which belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, etc). However, I do own Vikkiy and...uhm...my soul(?)

Chapter Five

Trouble in Striaton's Dreamyard: Team Triad Strikes! (Part II)

DREAMYARD-Landon and Mikaela

The brunette stepped over a fallen column carefully, Rain in her arms. Landon was waiting for her, both his Pokemon out of their Pokeballs in case there was trouble.

After getting over the column, Mikaela jogged to catch up with Landon. "Alright so...which path?" She asked, looking at the fork ahead of them.

"Osha!" Rain cried, pointing his arm out towards the left fork.

"If you say so little guy," Landon said, and the two took off down the cosen path, Landon's Pokemon following at his heels.

DREAMYARD-Kyo and Vikkiy

"Guide, Incinerate!"

"Adam, Leaf Tornado!"

"Patrat, Bide!"

"Purrloin, scratch!"

The two, ten minutes prior, had stumbled upon two males in all black clothing with a white hat on their heads, the same symbols they had seen on the side of the vehicle on their shirts. They'd proclaimed themselves members of Team Triad-formerly known as Team Plasma-and had attacked them.

Vikkiy shrieked as the ground started to shake again, latching onto Kyo's arm to keep from falling over. Said male, trying his hardest not to blush, drew her closer as they backed underneath what had probably been a shack.

"Do you think Doug turned the vehicle on again?" One of the grunts yelled.

"Doug couldn't! He doesn't even know how to work a toaster! The bosses were right; one of them IS hiding here!"

Vikkiy cried out again as the earth continued to tumble, hastily recalling Adam to his Pokeball. Her companion followed suit.

"It's coming from this way!" The taller of the two grunts shrieked in excitement, and they bolted off across the shaking ground.

"Should we follow them?" Vikkiy asked.

"Ah...and risk getting hurt? I'd rather not. I don't want to be hit by flying debris."

The blackette started to nod, but then swore loudly as she noticed their shelter had begun to crumble. Grabbing Kyo's hand, she tried to make it out into the open, but could only stare as the roof began to cave in...

"Belle, Psychic!"

DREAMYARD-Felix and Lolita

Lolita hastily stumbled over a rock as she and Felix made their way across the ground in an attempt to chase after a man in a weird-looking costume who had been shouting something about 'legendaries', 'Triad', and 'winning'. After spotting them, he had run off to inform him superiors of 'intruders'.

"Felix, look," The blackette said, grasping the male's sleeve and pointing ahead of them, where they end of the Dreamyard was bathed in fierce orange-red light.

"...Wonder what that is..." The black-haired male murmured, eyeing the looming structure of the Dreamyard.

"Don't think it's natural-" Lolita cut herself off as there was a sudden BOOM that probably rocked most of southeastern Unova, the light sweeping off in all directions before abruptly disappearing.

DREAMYARD

"...What the hell happened here?" Landon asked as he and Mikaela walked into the clearing that had been the epicenter of the shaking only a few minutes before.

"We don't know," Felix answered. "But it sent those weirdos packing."

"And fast," Vikkiy said nervously as she, Kyo, and another female stepped into the clearing. "Guys, this is Cinnamon Rays. She and her Gothitelle saved us."

The female stood a few inches above Vikkiy, with her scarlet red hair descending down her back and sweeping into her eyes. Her one visible eye, which was green, observed them blankly as she stood there. She wore a black leather jacket over a red tank top, black ripped up jeans and boots with blue spikes on the back. One of her hands-which were covered in black fingerless gloves-gripped a violin case that was slung over her shoulder while the other rested on her belt, where five Pokeballs hung.

"Hey," She greeted. Her tone of voice wasn't cold, but it was far from warm.

"Cinnamon, these guys are our friends-Mikaela Cody, Felix Gale, Landon Noire, and Lolita Brown. Mikaela and Felix are doing the 8-badge run alongside me and Kyo," Vikkiy explained.

Cinnamon looked at them all. "8-badge run? I did that. Didn't feel like trying to beat the Elite Four though. Wanted to keep on traveling."

The six glanced at each other, before asking-

"Want to travel with us?"

"They could use a mentor," Lolita added, causing Felix to glare at her.

The redheaded looked over the group of young teens apprehensively. She wanted to keep traveling, even if she didn't have her bike (Team Triad would PAY for destroying it), and the thought of not being alone was enticing...

"Fine," She said, a smirk playing on her lips. "I hope you can all take some serious critism and are ready to train hard."

A/N: Cinnamon Rays belongs to WritingMage08.

We met our first legendary this chapter, although said legendary won't be caught by their human partner for quite a while, since the first legendary will join the team post-Nimbasa. Anyone want to take a stab on which legendary it was? I'll give you a hint: it's not one of the dragons.

I know this chapter was short, but I got sick of trying to make it longer when there wasn't anything to add. The next two chapters should be lengthy, however, because that's when we'll get to the first of many gym battles to come. HIYAH!

Thanks to my awesome reviewers (I'm currently too lazy to look up who reviewed, also, that would mean parting from my Candy Cane Kisses while I did so)! VIRTUAL COOKIES TO Y'ALL!

Until next chapter-
