Thanks a bunch WindKaizer, I want to do even better now

Thanks, a bunch WindKaizer, I want to do even better now! Please review this chapter to, so I can see how I'm doing.

I don't know if I'll get out two more updates after this. My next update should be tomorrow, since it's almost done. This chapter isn't all that eventful, and Ninja and Houdini have a tiny part in this, as the usually always do, but they'll get their time eventually. In addition to them, I decided to add Quil's POV this chapter, since many people wanted to see one for him. I'll warn you though, he has a tendency to… imagine things… Anyway, please have fun!

Quil's POV

I stubbed my toe on another gaggad rock. By now, the pink souls of my feet where propably black with bruises and dirt. My feet where killing me now, I hadn't walked this much since our journey through the woods with Flair. I'm not sure how long we where walking, but it seemed like forever. It was really late now, probably like midnight or something.

"Hey, Flair, do you know what time it is?" I asked. Flair checked her Pokegear for the time.

"Yeah, it's like nine thirty." My mouth fell open when she said that.

"That's it!? It feels like we've been out here forever!" I groaned dropping my paws to my side. She patted my head comfortingly.

"We haven't been searching all that long. Besides, we should be taking a break soon anyway. You just have to keep up the pace." She said smiling. That's easy for her to say, she's been riding on Bark's back for most of the way. I sighed and made my way over to the lovesick pup. He was walking right behind Suicune just so he could stare at him without being caught. Man, he looked absolutely pathetic like that. I pity him though, he hasn't learned the ways of the romancer. He's really lucky to have someone like me around, poor kid. Without me around he'd probably NEVER learn.

"Hey, Bark." I said cheerfully, but he backed away from me.

"No way! I'm not doing anything else crazy!" He said instantly. I blinked.

"What? I'm not making you do anything crazy! I'm just stopping by to see how you are. So how are you?" I said with a smile. He was definitely on to me now. I know how he hates trying to impress Suicune, but he has to understand that if he doesn't he'll never have a shot at love. I decided to start up a fake conversation, if he had his attention on me then he wouldn't have to even think about Suicune.

"Well, I'm doing alright." He said relaxing up a bit. Perfect for me, he was falling right into my little trap. I decided to lead him into the subject of Suicune slowly. He wasn't the sharpest beak in the flock, but he'd still be able to pick up on it if I tried.

"I bet Suicune's really worried about his friend." I said glancing over at him. He sort of just nodded.

"Yeah, he seems worried about him. I hope he's okay." He said dropping his head down slightly.

"Why don't you go find out? Offer him some comfort." I said nudging him. He sort of cocked an eye brow at me.

"Is this another attempt to get me to impress Suicune?" He said narrowing his eyes. Darn he caught me. I sighed.

"Yes, it is. So you got me." I said dropping my paws down to my sides. He shook his head in disbelief.

"I can't believe you're still trying. I'm not going to impress Suicune like that. We're friends and that's it."

"Come on pup. You never know what could happen if you don't try!" I exclaimed, but he wasn't interested. I wasn't sure if he was shy or if he just didn't want to break up a good friendship, but I hade to make this work somehow. I looked around and spotted the pyscihc type legendary that had come along with us. I grinned.

"You know what your problem is, Bark? You're not flirty enough." He cocked his head to the side.

"Flirty?" He mimicked. I nodded my head.

"Yeah! Girls like it when you flirt with them." I said with a devilish smirk. Bark let his shoulders drop.

"But, Suicune's not a gir-"

"I know, I know he's not a girl. Look, Bark you have to stop thinking about the genders, they don't matter right now. What matters is romance, and all romance works the same." I said cutting him off. He groaned.

"I'm pretty sure it doesn't."

"I know you are, and that's why you're single. Now watch and learn from a true master." I said flaring out my neck flame into a full blaze. Girls like it when I do that.

"Where are you going?" He said from behind me, but I waved a paw at him to shush him. I strutted over to the lunar Pokemon, clearing my throat to get her attention.

"Yes, can I help you?" She asked. I smiled my infamous Quil smile to get her warmed up.

"Well, you look pretty lonely over here. I was just wondering if you wanted any company." I asked warmly. If there was one thing girls like it was compassion and caring.

"Sure." She said casually. She acted as if she didn't care, but that's just a trick some females like to play. They make you think they're not interested. It's a sort of hard-to-get sort of game, but I'm to smart for that.

"So, I never did quite get your name. What was it?" I said turning up my fire type charm. She was totally into me. I could just feel the magic.

"Cresselia." She said in this really sexy tone of voice. She was really falling for me already.

"I'm Quil, nice to meet you." She just sort of nodded and kept going. I'll bet she really thinks I'm going to fall for that. I know she loves me, the look in her eyes screaming with lust. Anyone with half a brain could see that.

"Hey, wait up! So, you're a pyschic type, aren't you?"

"Last time I checked." She said in an amused tone of voice. Oh so now she's a funny girl, huh? I'm not sure if this girl knows what she wants, she's doesn't look very smart anyway. I'll humor her a little.

"Haha, that's funny. I guess that makes you the intellectual type, huh?" I said in a charming tone of voice. She sort of just raised an eye brow.

"Are you hitting on me?" She asked abruptly. I blinked in surprise.

"Yeah, couldn't you tell?" I asked pushing my flame collar back in it's place. She started to giggle.

"Oh yes, I could tell alright." She said floating away and laughing her head off. Man, what a weird girl. I shrugged and turned back to Bark, but he was talking to Suicune already. He was supposed to be watching so he could learn! I narrowed my eyes and stomped over towards him.

"Hey! Weren't you watching me!?" I growled. Bark sort of laughed at me.

"You bet we where!" He laughed. I blew a smokescreen out of my nose, now I was fuming.

"What's so funny?!"

"Nothing, nothing." He said calming himself. I folded my arms.

"Well, I'm sure you could never flirt that way, Mr. Lonely. If you could you wouldn't be alone now would you!? Besides, she was completely into me. You could tell, couldn't you Suicune?"

"Well, actually she looked like she was ignoring you." He said suddenly. That was pretty rude of him, but I guess that's just because he didn't understand the ways of the female. I grinned and waggled a finger at him.

"Well, that's because you couldn't see through her feminine mind games. See she just wasn't smart enough to trick me. I could tell she wasn't that smart the moment I saw her!"

"Well, actually she's the third smartest legendary behind Uxie and Mewtwo." Suicune said again. I raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure? Cause she really didn't seem all that smart. You're smarter then her in my opinion."

"Well… uhhhh, gee thanks, but…" Suicune began, but Bark put a paw on his shoulder.

"Don't Suicune. Just don't hurt his pride," Bark began.

"It's about all he has." He concluded with a whisper. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I heard that! What's that supposed to mean!?"

"Nothing." He said waving a paw at me to dismiss the subject. He was still grinning. I though he'd burst out with laughter. I folded my arms again.

"Well, can you excuse us, Suicune?" I said grabbing Bark's mane. Suicune didn't have a chance to respond, but I didn't care. I had to talk to Bark right away. He was still a romantic mess. When we got far enough away from Suicune I folded my arms.

"Bark! Come on, you didn't watch at all did you!?" I growled. The grin he was wearing had faded now and was replaced with slight guilt.

"I watch a little, but Suicune came over and ask me what you where doing and-"

"Fine, fine, but next time you listen to what I say. Oh, and from watching you and Suicune I found out your other problem." I said cutting him off.

"Gee, I love it when you point out my flaws, Quil!" He said in a sarcastic tone of voice. I tapped my foot on the ground.

"Sorry, it's just that you've been pointing out every problem I've got. Can't you just leave it alone?"

"Hold on, just listen to this for a second. You're other problem is that you're way to friendly." He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Too friendly?" He mimicked again. I nodded.

"Yeah, you're way to cotton candy fluffy. That works sometimes in a relationship, but you're just too much." I said. He tilted his head at me. I'm sure he didn't really know what I was talking about.

"There's nothing wrong with having a freidnly relationship. What ever happened to the expression lovers AND freinds?"

"Look, Bark, I know you love to be everyone's friend, but romance just doesn't work that way. It's cute, for a nine-year-old crush, but you're becoming an adult. You need to step up your game and add some spice. Act a little sexy for once!" His eyes widened when I said that. I knew this would be the part he felt really uncomfortable with.

"What!? You want me to act sexy towards Suicune!? Are you crazy!?" He exclaimed in a babbling panic. I put a paw on his shoulder to get him to settle down.

"You're still so naive. I know you think life's all fun and games, but when it comes to romance you have be a little bit more serious. I mean, there's time for laughs in a romance, but nobody wants to sleep with Barney or Tinky Winky." I scolded. Bark put his head down and sulked, obviously disapproving about being compared to a Tele Tubbie. There wasn't any time to sulk, though. We had a lot of work to do if he ever wanted to get close to Suicune!

Entei's POV

I got a look at my surroundings. From the looks of things we where in the forest right below Mt Olympus. I stretched my paws out in front of me and yawned. It was dark now and I was getting rather tired. I looked back at Bullet. She was a lone shadow in the dark woods, struggling to keep up. She made her way into the moonlight, stopping to lick her hoof. When she finally met up with me she sighed and dropped down onto the cushioned forest floor.

"Entei, I'm tired. Can we take a break?"

"No!" I snapped. I was still infuriated with her for kicking me in the crotch. Though it didn't hurt anymore, I was still stuck back here with her. She sighed and looked at the soil beneath her.

"I can't walk another step. We have to get this stone out." She said lifting her hoof up from the ground. I turned my back on her.

"We don't have to do anything."

"Please, Entei. We can't go on until you pull it out. It's pressing into my foot and it really hurts!" She cried out. I sighed.

"Look, if I pull it out will you stop complaining?" I asked, she lifted her foot and nodded.

"Yes, now please, just get it out!" She cried out again. I sighed and grabbed hold of the rock with my teeth. It was an odd shape and it wasn't particularly easy to grasp. It would either slip from my grip when I tugged, or Bullet would whine and yank it away. I tried holding her leg in place with my paw, but her legs where just so powerful. I couldn't keep her locked.

"Will you hold still!?" I growled trying to hold her foot in one spot.

"I'm sorry, Entei. It really hurts. I'm trying my best!" She said holding her foot in place. I knew as soon as I touched it she'd pull it away. I sighed.

"Bullet, I just need you to work with me for a second. I need you to take a deep breath and just hold it. Relax for a minute." I said holding her leg down with my paw. She inhaled and did as I said. I grabbed the rock with my teeth, gripping down as hard as I could and tugged with all my might. With a finale tug I managed to remove the rock from Bullet's hoof. I tossed it aside.

"Thanks, Entei! That feels so much better now!" She said hopping to her feet. She came right over to me and nuzzled me with her nose.

"I'm sorry for kicking you before. Does it still hurt?" She asked. I sort of moved away from her.

"No, it doesn't."

"Can I take a look?" She said in a very suggestive tone of voice. My eyes almost popped out of my head when she said that. I jumped back from her.

"What!?" I cried staring back at her. She just sort of giggled playfully.

"Oh, Entei. I was only kidding." She said with a laugh laughed. I wasn't amused at all. I don't even know why shed suggest something like that. I narrowed my eyes.

"Well, it's not funny. Don't do it again." I said heading forward into the dark brush. I could hear her giggling quietly behind me. The sound of her laugh was enough to drive anyone insane. Turned back to her.

"Shut up, Bullet!" I growled at her. She stopped and stared at me. Her eyes where wide with fear. I lifted my head with pride.

"You see, I told you that it wasn't wise to annoy me like that. See what happens when you-"

"Entei, look behind you." She said cutting me off. Her words where quick and her voice was panicked. I was sure it was another one of her little jokes, but when I turned around it wasn't. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was Darkrai! I darted towards the dark type.

"Darkrai! Where have you been? Everyone's looking for you and-" I stopped when I looked up at his single visible eye. It wasn't blue like it normally was, but a deep crimson. That's when I knew something was definitely wrong.

"Darkrai, are you okay?" I asked backing away. There was something wrong with the way he was staring at me. The look in his eye, I could not describe it but it was definitely not right.

Darkrai?: I repeated, but the moment I got closer he charged a Dark Void. I jumped up and out of the way, but the attack headed right for Bullet.

"Bullet, look out!" I called, but it was too late. The attack collided with her, sending her into a world of sleep. I dodged another one of Darkria's attacks, but he was on a much higher level than I was. He could fire off attacks faster then I could doge them. The dark attack swallowed me up, sending me into an abyss of darkness.

Ninja's POV

Me and Houdini sat quietly in a room next to the court room. There was some sort of emergency that Garatina had to get to, so we where stuck in this world until he got back. I sighed in. We where so close to finally getting back to our normal lives and going home to Flair. I couldn't believe that we where going to have to wait AGAIN.

"What do you think the big emergency was?" Houdini asked. I'm not sure why he asked me. If he didn't know, then I surly didn't know. I licked my paw a little to loosen the dust from my coat. When I glanced over at Houdini, he was in deep thought.

"Someone just scent me a message of some sort. It was a fellow pyscic type." He said opening his eyes. I blinked in curiosity.

"Really? Who was it?"

"I'm not sure, but they needed some kind of help." He said rubbing his temples in an attempt to revive the message. It didn't seem to be coming to him.

"Hmm, I lost them. That was odd, I wonder who it could have been." He said scratching his chin again. Then he turned his ears back, he was picking up a sound.

"Did you hear him?" He asked suddenly. I didn't hear a thing.

"Hear who?"

"The person who scent me the message. I just heard them." He said listening again. I listened too, there was a faint voice.

I need... your help… He said in a faint voice. I knew they where there this time.

"Hello? Who's there?" Houdini asked scrambling to his feet. The voice came again, this time clearer.

I need your help with something. He said again. The voice seemed to be in trouble.

"What do you need help with? We can help you." I said getting to my feet. The wind started to pick up suddenly. There was a flash of light, so blinding that you couldn't see anything but white. Everything felt odd, like we where being lifted into the sky. The light swallowed everything up with a huge flash, and then there was nothing.

Quil's POV

It was so late that even the nocturnal Pokemon had gone back to sleep. I bet it was morning by now, but it was to dark to tell the difference. Apparently, by human time when it's still dark it could be morning. In my book it's night until the sun starts to come up, but oh well.

Bark was walking along next to me. His eyes where half lidded with fatigue and he was leaning on me slightly.

"Alright… what'd we learn today… Bark?" I asked with a yawn. Bark let out a deep sigh.

"Quil, I think all of these things are a little… insane." He said glancing up at me, eyes half closed. I folded my arms.

"Look, Bark, listen to a fellow fire type. Learning these things will help you!" I assured him. He still didn't seem to be buying it though.

"Look, just recite what you learned today." He groaned and put his paws over his eyes.

"I don't want to say it! It's to embarrassing!" I growled and put my paws on my hips. It wasn't something I normally did, but Bark was being such a toddler.

"Will you please just say what you need to say?"

"Oh alright… Rule number one, never ever fall for mind games." He said yawning and stretching his paws far out in front of him.

"Good. Now what's next."

"Rule number two.. don't act to cotton candyish." His voice sounded almost drunken. He was so tired that he'd started to slip down to the ground, landing with a soft thud.

"Rule three.." I asked practically falling asleep myself. I didn't get an answer from Bark, so I assumed he fallen asleep while walking. I nudged his muzzle, but he just licked my paw and mumbled something about chocolate syrup. I gave him a gentle kick, but he just rolled over on his back and groaned. There was no way I could carry him, he was like twice my own weight.

"Suicune." I called. Suicune yawned and turned back to me.

"What's the problem." He said drowsily. I looked at Bark and he instantly knew the problem.

"I got him." He said lifting Bark up on his back. I was surprised that he could hold his weight. After all, Bark was pretty heavy.

"Suicune?" Bark mumbled opening his eyes slightly.

"Yeah, Bark. It's me." He said warmly. Bark responded by licking Suicune slightly and drifting back to sleep. In truth, they would make in alright couple, even if Bark didn't think so. What I really wondered is what Suicune would think.

"Hey, Suicune." I whispered so that I wouldn't disturb any sleeping Pokemon. He glanced over at me.

"Yeah?"

"Well, can you be honest with me about this."

"Sure, what do you need?" I pawed the ground with my hind leg.

"Well, what do you really think of Bark?" I asked curiously. Suicune looked at the sleeping canine on his back.

"Well, I like Bark. He's sweet, he's kind… he doesn't judge other Pokemon, or people as a matter of fact…"

"It sounds like you really like him, huh?" I asked. Suicune gave a slow nod, as if he was thinking about his answer.

"Do you like him as more than a friend?" I asked. This was the big question. Suicune looked to the sky, as if he where asking Arceus for an answer.

"I'm… not sure." He pondering the subject. I knew he;d say something along those lines. Suicune doesn't seem very sure of himself to me. He glanced over in my direction.

"Well, I guess we can stop for the night. There's no use in looking anymore, it's to dark to see your own paws on the ground, let alone a black dark-type Pokemon." He said gently placing Bark against the trunk of a tree. He then wandered over towards Flair to let her know we where making camp. Tomorrow the search would start again and we'd be off. I could possibly try to educate Bark more in the arts of romance, cause these two need each other. I don't know how much longer they could possbily stay apart.

Whew, I can't beleive I finally managed to get this one up. Next chapter should be up tomorrow. It'll be much more eventful then this one. Anyway, please reveiw.
