Please forgive my tardiness! I feel really bad about it and has been scolding myself more than you can even think!

So now let me take a lot of space in this note to explain why it took me quite some time to update! :

To the surprise of you and I, I got my first ever identity crisis.

See, my best friend/headache of my life (inside joke) had convinced me to join the badminton team, and of course, he couldn't play because of his twisted ankle (a very ugly swollen color of blue-dark purple) But even so I sucked and was probably THE worst one there, I had so much fun and had even created myself a schedule to get in shape (because that, I am not). Arriving home, it came worse. I felt no need to write ANY of my stories and I refused the urge to simply touch my laptop. The next day, I grew scarred of myself when I started thinking that my laptop was a waste of space and time. Eventually, two days after that, I snapped out of it and managed to write again. And doing so brought me back the exhilaration of the TAK TAK TAK of the keyboard as the words almost magically appeared on screen before me.

I'm so glad I'm back to being me and managed to create this chappie before it was too late!

So for the lateness, I give you some hyper and random stuff (that follows the plot just a little bit)!

And also after that I had late night homework that made me sleep late, which then made me sleep from 4pm to 6pm Friday because I was so tired and exhausted from everything. And then I also had sleepovers (which included playing Black Ops, Nazi Zombies which SCARRED THE BEJEEZUS OUTTAEH!) and a ton of movies watched, so yeah... at least I had fun!

Songs that would go well with this chapter would be, Hatsune Miku and Kaito - True My Heart! or Kagamine Rin - Sayonara Diary!

And sorry for all the chapter alerts, I keep seeing spelling mistakes and it makes me very angry face.

-JILLIAN'S CHAPTER-

What if I told you I was flying?

You wouldn't believe me, right?

Then what if I told you I was wearing a mask and that this wasn't really my actual face?

That's a bit more believable, no? Even if it does sound a bit farfetched.

So I'm guessing a few might believe me when I say the following...

...LATIAS IS FREAKIN' EATING MY HAIR.

What? You don't know who the heck is Latias?

Kay, well fine then, I will allow you to take out those mini portable laptops of yours and enrich yourselves with the awesomeness that is said Eon Pokémon. If she wasn't just totally nom-ing on my hair as if she was a Miltank that could have whatever she wants. Just sayin'.

"Latias, stop cuddling Jillian as if she was a doll." Bianca ordered with a snicker from the ground. The red and white Pokémon who was squeezing the death out of me (but stopped eating my hair, thank Arceus) whined and twirled around in denial, bringing me along for the ride.

I groaned and my usual smile slid off my lips as I was nearly hung upside down, my stomach feeling oddly queasy at this very moment. Maybe because of the altitude and how high I was?

I glanced down, blanched, and quickly averted my eyes.

You really don't want to know how high up I am. Not unless you want barf all over that fancy shirt of yours!

"Are you okay up there, Jillian?" I heard Kyle ask before I was spun in midair again.

I narrowed my eyes at the black and red blob on the ground and moaned, "Gemme outta hea!"

"Okay, okay. Calm down, Latias!" Old man Lorenzo's voice reached me as the being holding me stilled and slowly hovered down, finally dropping me into a face plant in the ground. "Good girl."

I don't know what he's talking about. He's not the one with a pile of grass up her nose.

"You okay?" My partner by the name of Étienne asked softly, holding out a hand for me when I lifted my head, "Let me help you."

I gratefully took the offered hand before hoisting myself to my feet with his help. He smiled almost apologetically about my sudden abduction before quickly joining his brother's side. JP was fanning the fainted Addison—it was a surprise to us too when she suddenly did that—with a rolled up newspaper he had been whining about wanting to throw out but couldn't find a recycling bin.

I know, we were surprised too when he said that. JP recycling would truly be a sight to see.

"Was it fun going up in the air like that?" JP beamed at me for a second before going back to blowing wind into Addie's face until she woke up. I glowered at them before quickly replacing the look with a bright smile.

"Oh yes!" I chirped, leaning a bit into sarcasm, "I totally enjoyed being flipped upside down and up and around until I was ready to puke! It was really enjoyable!"

Kayla gave me a thumbs up, "Good use of sarcasm!"

I thumb-up-ed her back, "I know, I has skillz."

Kiera rolled her eyes and hugged her Umbreon to herself before it could lunge at one of the Latioses for coming too close to her, "What skillz?"

Kayla shoved the girl in the shoulder with a giggle before beaming at me, "You're so lucky that Latias took a liking to you!"

"Yes, that is quite surprising." Miss Bianca suddenly piped up from behind. I quickly turned around to give her a confused look that also meant she should elaborate.

Instead of doing so though, her face was cold and closed up as if she refused to go further with that thought, shifting a bit into a longing look of daydreaming.

"You know children," Old man Lorenzo waddled up to us with a cane he sometimes used when his back wasn't feeling well, "Once upon a time, Latias has once been saved by a young man of Pallet town, and from what I can tell, she's taken a liking to anyone who looks quite like him."

"Grandpa!" Bianca hissed with a murderous look. The man waved her off with a soft smile.

"Aww!" Kayla giggled as she hugged her Weavile tighter, almost to suffocation, even if the creature didn't look like it was going to hurt her even if it looked pissed off, "Is it possible for Pokemon to have crushes on humans?"

"It's possible," Lorenzo hmmed and stoked his white beard with his free hand, "Latias is quite fond of him."

Something in the back of my head was warning me that he had said something really important, but I couldn't quite seem to wrap my mind around it just yet, "He's not here anymore?"

"Unfortunately no, the boy was traveling around the regions collecting badges," Lorenzo turned his head and stared unblinkingly at me for a few uncomfortable minutes, "You do look a lot like him. I'd take a guess and say that if you cut your hair really short, you'd look almost just like him!"

Instant rebuttal, "But I'm a girl."

He chuckled, "Indeed."

I tilted my head in confusion. Was he high or something?

I fingered my long straight black hair and let them fall through my fingers lightly, relishing at the soft touch.

Who was Latias's savior? And why does Bianca not want Lorenzo to talk to us about it?

-LINEBIATCH-

"Hey Jin!" I fought against my blush as Tyson called me when I returned, which was a bit before lunchtime.

I quickly urged myself not to mess up before whirling around and beaming at him, "Hey, Ty! Did you sleep well this morning?"

He smiled shyly at me, the picture of cuteness, "Yeah, but Crystal won't stop stealing my blanket now that she evolved."

"Crystal is so cute!" I giggled and swooped in to link my arm in his, "Shall we go get something to eat?"

He grinned and nodded, and then we skipped all the way to the cafeteria, singing something about Wizards of Oz.

-LINEBIATCH-

"So how was it? Meeting Latias and the Latioses?" Tyson asked once we joined our teams at the lunch table like we always did so much that it became a routine.

I hesitated before quickly taking a bite of food after rushing out my answer, "ItwasokayIguess. Iguessfunmaybealittle?"

He blinked, "What?"

I smiled mysteriously, "Nothing! It-it was fine!"

"Psh!" JP grinned from two seats over (Addie was seated in between us) tapping the table excitedly, "She almost got eaten by Latias!"

I quickly reached over and hit him over the head, cheeks flushing in embarrassment when I felt Tyson's worried eyes on me, "D-did not!"

"Yes you did!" Addison chimed next to me, grinning devilishly down at me.

I resisted a glower and smiled innocently as my next retort came to mind, "But Addie dear! How would you know that? You fainted remember?"

Addie flushed and stuttered in embarrassment, "Th-that wasn't my fault! I-it was hot and I wasn't feeling well!"

Jean-Paul nudged her with wiggling eyebrows, "Of course t'avait chaud! You couldn't resist my smexiness, pourriez-vous maintenant?" ([...]you were hot! [...] now could you?)

Addie squeaked and hurried to hide her lobster-like face in her hands, probably wishing she could be anywhere but here. "Not fair! You're all ganging up on me!"

"You sure you're fine?" Tyson asked, blinking large worried blue eyes at me.

I gulped and felt my own flush growing on, trying my best to smile through it, "Y-yeah. I'm fine."

He frowned, "But you were almost eaten!"

"I wasn't!" I defended with a small smile, "That's just Jean-Paul exaggerating!" I gave a swift glare to the boy, "Right, JP?"

Said boy raised an eyebrow and spoke through the food in his mouth, "De quoi tu parles? I wasn't—" (What are you talking about? [...]) But then Addison gave him a quick jab in the gut and he quickly backtracked, "Okay fine. I was joking, tu contente?" (...you happy?)

"Very." Addie and I chimed.

"Oh hey!" Jess and Maikee arrived with trays of food in their hands, landing in the free seats next to Rymero, who smiled softly at them as gretting. "You guys went to see Latios and Latias first, right?"

"Yeah!" Addie beamed, "They were so cool!"

"You wouldn't know!" JP sing sang before taking a drink of water.

Addison quickly struck him in his side and he spluttered out all the liquid in mouth, "W-what the hell was that!"

Addie grinned and tilted her head innocently, "Oh, c'etait rien!" (Oh, it was nothing!)

JP glared at her before going back to eating the odd cafeteria food.

"Did something happen?" Maikee asked, not minding the odd food that was going into her mouth afterwards.

"Yeah, Addie fainted!" JP exclaimed, jumping to his feet and raising his arms to get everyone's attention. "HEY EVERYBODY! ADDIE FAIN—"

Before he could finish though, he was tackled to the ground by a very ticked off bunny with dark brown hair and blue streaks.

I turned back to the table, trying to ignore them to the best of my abilities, "Like he said, she fainted, I got a free lift; all in all, we survived. You guys should be okay."

They still gave me worried looks—probably for my sanity—so I could guess that they were still unconvinced.

Haha, smart people.

-LINEBIATCH-

"So was it fun?" Maikee asked as we regrouped in the recreation room, taking almost the entire space on one of the large couches. Chi squawked happily in my arms when I grabbed her and nuzzled comfortably (for the both of us) into my neck.

"Yessss..." I drawled lazily, not feeling like talking much now that I was comfortable. "I had such a darling time..."

"Darling?" She quoted me with a small smile, "Are quite you sure about that, darling?"

"Yes, mother!" I said in one of those prissy british accents, "I am for sure that I had fun while on my expedition!"

"Very good dear." She played along with her prissy mother-like role, "I don't expect anything less from my daughter!"

"Thank you, mother." I flapped the air with my hand and Chi whined at the warmth I had taken away from her. I quickly gave back my hand for her to cuddle in it.

After some chuckling and giggling, Maikee spoke again, "So which teams are next?"

"Don't ask me!" I held up my hands defensively, getting another whine from Chi so I quickly put them back down, "I have no idea either!"

"Sucks."

"Yep."

Maikee's Vaporeon, filled with grace that no human could ever be compared to, jumped on the arm rest next to her before prowling over to her where I was, sitting down on the top of the couch so that it could chat with Chi.

I watched in mild interest the emotions flying off their faces, ranging from friendliness then to surprise and then horror, unable to comprehend a single thing they were exchanging between them. Chi wildly flailed her arm around, looking distressed before joining the water Pokémon as they jumped off the couch in sync.

I sat up in alarm and shared bewildered looks with Maikee before we bolted from our positions and followed our Pokémon down the halls.

-LINEBIATCH-

"Are we..." I gasped and forced my legs to continue running, "...almost there yet?"

Maikee stumbled next to me and almost nudged me into the lockers, "I'm not so sure, but I think this is about the fourth time we've came be here!"

I looked at the music room, just now realizing that it's been the fifth time I spotted it, "Do you think they're trying to shake us off their tails?"

"Let's keep our distance and see if they'll stop." Maikee held out an arm and motioned for me to join her against the wall.

"Why are they sharing secrets and not want us to know?" I whispered as I peeked out from the corner, spotting Chi chirp something before they took an unexpected turn inside the workout room, where we haven't once gotten in since we followed them.

Maikee nodded and we ran down the hall, shoes thumping in rhythm as we glided at the end, me in the back this time as Mai peeking inside before mentioning me to follow. I followed her and jumped around the running machines as if I was a ninja, narrowly missing getting hit by a Razor Leaf.

"Careful!" Rebecca cried and I grinned over my shoulder at her and her Bayleef before shrugging and following Maikee to the back door that lead to the track field.

The sound of a horse whinnying got our attention and we had no choice but watch as Chanel was suddenly thrown off her Ponyta, falling on her side as her Pokémon slipped to its knees because of the ice that suddenly appeared underneath them. The small girl quickly got up though and rushed up to her fire Pokémon, and that gave us enough time to slide down the hill of snow to reach her.

"Chanel!" Maikee cried as we speed walked over, trying not to slip on the ice, "What happened?"

"I-I don't know!" The girl cried as she petted her Pokémon's fire hair with slightly shaking shoulders, "I was just practicing my speed with Nylee when everything suddenly turned into ice and snow!"

I crossed my arms and thought about it—also to keep me warm with the sudden chill—and couldn't help but ask aloud, "Does anyone have an ice or water Pokémon?"

"Um..." Maikee placed a finger to her lips as her dark brown eyes turned upwards, trying to look into her own brain, "...I have my Vaporeon—but we can cross me out since I was with you guys when It happened—, Kiera has her Glaceon, Chanel has her Marill—"

"She's in my Pokéball," Said girl lifted the side of her white uniform shirt to show us the ball on her belt, "I only let out one Pokémon at a time."

Maikee nodded and continued to list names, "—Darren has his Swampert—"

But then said boy suddenly appeared at the top of the snow hill we just slid down, "What happEEEEEEEEENNNNNEEEDDD?" He yelled the last part as his sneakers slipped and sent him rolling down like a snow ball.

I grinned in amusement and clapped, "Encore! Encore!"

"EFF YOU!" The giant ball yelled, though it was muffled by all the snow.

"We can cross him out, I guess..." Chanel muttered with a worried look before standing up and ordering her Pokémon, "Nylee, melt the snow with Ember!"

Though the Pokémon stayed on the ground, the fire attack reached and the snow slowly started to thin until all that was left was a puddle of water with Darren laying down face first and completely soaked. He moaned and lifted his head with a weak smile, "ThAnKs gUyS!"

"No problem!" I chirped before turning to my gal pals, "So who's after Darren?"

"Um... Xavier and his Croconaw..." I quickly glanced at the top of the hill to see if he would also appear, "Rin and her Azurill... and I think that's it!"

Chanel furrowed her eyebrows together, "T-then all that's left to d-do is find them..."

"Yes!" I pumped a fist above my head before linking my arms in both girls' arms, the blond spluttering and reaching back for her horse desperately while the brunette joined me in hopping forward and dragging her along.

"WhAt AbOuT mE?" Human being on the ground that wasn't moving moaned.

"Maybe next time." Maikee winked before we skedaddled outta there.

-LINEBIATCH-

All was normal in this bright day with sudden snow (even though it was, you know, the start of November), until...

"XAVIER!" I exclaimed as a grabbed the nearest flashlight and shoved it in his face, him squinting his brown at us in irritation since it was the only source of light in this pitch-black eerie room, "WHERE WERE YOU ON THE DAY OF TODAY?"

He twitched and raised his eyebrow at the same time he roughly pushed away the light from his face, "I was with my Pokémon."

I gasped and backed away, placing my hand on my heart as if feigning hurt, "DOING BAD DEEDS?"

His eyebrow twitched again, "Where the hell did you get that idea?"

"BUT YOU SAID—"

"I am so sorry!" Chanel squeaked as she suddenly appeared out of nowhere –LIKE A WIZARD! GASP!—and shoved me lightly aside, efficiently shutting me up as I stared at her with unblinking eyes while she bowed nearly a thousand times at our captor. Did she just not stutter? "Please excuse my friend's behaviour!"

"It's fine." The boy got up from the chair we badly tied him up to and brushed himself off before going around the table and messing up the girl's hair affectionately, "Don't worry about it."

I glanced at Maikee and wiggled my eyebrows at her. She wiggled them back and we shared sly grins. So that's why she didn't stutter! (Hur hur hur!)

I blinked when it suddenly came to me, "WHAIT A SECCC!" I wailed and tackled the boy to the ground as he was reaching for the door knob, pointing the flashlight once again in his face as to immobilize him with it as if it was a tazer. "TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE DOING TODAY AN HOUR AGO OF LUNCH TIME!"

His face grew into controlled anger before it tinged with red—most preferably from the heat that my flashlight was emitting, not him blushing. Men don't blush. Or do they?—as he muttered, "I was dancing with Kipper."

And then he rolled us over and managed to escape in the midst of all the confusion.

"Who's Kipper?" Maikee asked from the back of the room as she turned the lights on.

"T-that's his Croconaw..." Chanel said softly, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

I shared a look with Maikee before looking back at the shy girl with a grin and suggestively wiggling eyebrows, "And how would you oh so happen to know that? Hur hur?"

Her face suddenly exploded into red, "H-he's m-m t-team-mm-mate!"

"Okay, jeez, chill." Maikee waved her off before rubbing her hands together and doing some cackling like Count Dracula, "Let's go get our next victim! Vlahahaha!"

-LINEBIATCH-

"Have you seen Kiera?" I asked the first person I saw, Andrew, as we ditched Maikee in the now-dubbed interrogation room/music room.

The boy shrugged and walked away without a word, ignoring my cries to come back and respond somewhat decently.

What was with boys and walking away on me when I needed them?

"Hey, did you guys know it was snowing outside?" Rin asked as she joined us, said white pieces of ice lightly melting in her hair as she had just came from out there.

"We guessed..." I trailed off, sharing a look with Chanel before noticing Darren that entered behind Rin, "Hey, Darren, what did Rin do outside?"

"You can't just ask me about that?" Said girl with long platinum blond hair raised an equally blond eyebrow.

I shook my head with a small smile, "Nope!" I turned to Darren, "So the answer?"

"She was shovelling me out of the snow because a certain tree of girls just ditched me to freeze out there and get stuck," The boy gave us a playful disappointed look. Chanel squeaked and started to mumble out a bunch of apologies which we barely heard but could understand what it was, "Don't apologize, Chanel, it wasn't your fault!" Cue him giving me a look.

I grinned sweetly, "Must be Maikee then!"

Rin rolled her eyes with a grin, "Sure, but why do you want to know what I did outside?"

"To see if you were the one who snowed us at a completely random time." The girl nodded in understanding so I leaned towards her suspiciously, "So are you the one who did this?"

She looked hurt that we would even think so, "What? No way!"

I leaned closer with narrowed eyes, "Was your Azurill doing about half an hour ago?"

"I can't believe you!" Kiera yelled as she entered the room, "You can't keep doing this when I'm not looking!"

I quickly turned around and faced the angry girl entering with both of her Pokémon at her heels, "I don't always do this when you're not looking! ...Maybe once in a while... But not all the time!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kiera blinked her gray blue eyes at us in confusion, "I was talking to my Pokémon!"

"A-ha!" Maikee appeared out of nowhere (she was supposed to be waiting for us in the music room) and pointed a finger at her, "So it was you who did it!"

Did she know that all along?

"I knew it all along that it was you!"

That answers my question.

"The hell guys?" Kiera raised an eyebrow at us, looking miffed and confused at the same time, "I didn't do it, however my prankster Pokemon did." She gave said being evil looks and the Umbreon ducked his head in shame while her Glaceon sat down as if unaffected. My own Torchic taunted them along with Maikee's Vaporeon, so I quickly grabbed her from the ground and shushed her.

"Sorry about them." Kiera still gave them dirty looks though, "They always do this. No one got hurt?"

I shared a look with my comrades before shaking my head with a shrug, "None that I know of!"

"HELP!" A cry from the outside yelped, "I'M DYING!"

"Just ignore that!" Sam appeared from the door of the direction of the crying, "Jason's exaggerating!"

"What happened? Did he slip on the ice and hurt himself?" Maikee immediately asked, her soft nature kicking in.

"Slip on the ice?" Sam grinned and waved her off as she headed for the nurse's office, "Nah, he just got a paper cut. I'm getting the big baby a band-aid."

I looked at Maikee with raised eyebrows.

How does one get a paper cut outside?

MAYBE BY SLIPPING HIS FINGER ON THE ICE?

Very suspicious indeed.

Like I said, the random was just to compensate for my absence! Also, the snow idea comes from Crazybarks made a spin off story of STARS concentrating more on the Pokemon, so go check it out and give your support! :D
