Hello everybody! How's it goin'? :D

Oh little ol' me? Pretty darn good!

Sorry for the wait on the update, I wasn't on my computer that long these days and I was practicing badminton stuff more than ever (also went in a tournament).

Anyways, enough excuse to my half-procrastination days.

I received a lot of OC pictures, so if anyone wants to go check 'em out, go check it out!

And while you're there, why not check out my brand new story HOPE IS NEVER FORGOTTEN, huh? I've been working hard on it!

(And just between you and me, it's an OC story ;D)

More cameos are coming in chapters soon to come (but unfortunately not in this one)!

Songs that I think would go well with this chapter would be, Kagamine Rin and Len - Po Pi Po Battle and Hiyama Kiyoteru - Love is War Remix

-ANDREW'S CHAPTER-

"Let's go, Kirlia!" I tossed out his Pokéball, it shining against the lights of the stage as he appeared. He hummed a delicate tune before bowing at me obediently after a small pirouette. "The Pokémon contest is under attack," I quickly filled him in, "We need to help our comrades!"

The psychic Pokémon nodded in determination before settling into a defensive stance.

"LeiMei!" I called when she stopped looking at the sky for some reason, "I'll get the people out of here safely, you keep that Arcanine busy!"

"Got it!" She turned and gave me a thumbs up.

Too bad that wasn't a good thing.

"Extremespeed now, Renga!" Iris called the second LeiMei wasn't paying attention, the large dog Pokémon zooming past the ghost and heading straight for us. I stiffened and readied myself to call an attack, only to have it beat by someone else.

"Rilli—!" Rin began.

"Zuzu—!" Channel continued.

"Bubble beam!" The finished in sync as said bubbles of doom came at top speed and knocked into the face of the canine, making it disoriented for a few seconds. It growled menacingly before turning to the girls with the Azurill and Marill at their feet moving the chairs out of the way and stalking forward.

"Don't worry, Andrew!" Hina called out bravely as she appeared next to the duo of water mouse Pokémon evolution trainers. She was holding a little new-born Togepi in her arms, yet still managed a thumbs up (but she looked scared all the while), "We've got your back, just concentrate on getting the people safely out of here!"

"Don't you dare mess with our plans!" Iris called furiously, "Renga, ignore the girls and go straight for the Kirlia and its owner!"

Too bad I already saw it coming. I was ready from the first time she ordered her Pokémon to attack us.

"Use Hypnosis right now, Kirlia!" I called when the Pokémon was a few meters away, holding myself from smirking in mirth. Kirlia hummed again before he gracefully and swiftly brought his hands together in front of his chest, palms out, sending waves of drowsiness forward with his psychic abilities.

Before the waves wrapped around the dog Pokémon though, something came crashing down from the sky. It was a large blur of red and black that slowly came into focus. A beady red eye was slowly closing in pain, white bangs hiding the rest of its face along with some shadows as the hair fell limp. It furry red growth around his neck was dishevelled and dirty with looks of it had gotten into a rough battle, along with the rest of its black shaded body.

"That's Darkrai!" I cried in surprise, black eyes widening in awe when I realized it (it is a pretty impressionable legendary Pokémon, after all), desiring to point with my finger at it. It was laying practically immobile next to us, a little bit of rubble accumulated around its head to show that it had dragged a bit on the ground when it landed in the center of our field.

I stepped forward to offer some help, but the second I tried, its eyes snapped fully open and they glared frighteningly through my soul. I hesitated for a few seconds, and it took the opportunity to melt into my shadow and vanish. I blinked in surprise, resisting an inner squeal of "A LEGENDARY Pokémon JUST WENT INTO MY SHADOW! OH EM GEE! SQUEAL!" and looked around to see where it could've went.

"Use Bite!" Iris called in the midst of the confusion, and I looked back in time to see the Pokémon pounce.

"Shadow Sneak, Shadow!" LeiMei yelled out of nowhere, the Dusclops head popping out from the floor next to Kirlia before it grabbed the unsuspecting Psychic and pulled it down to join him in the shadows. The Arcanine growled in furry at the now-empty space before stalking in a circle around the area where they used to be (and I slowly backed away, since I was really close to it).

"Kirl!" Kirla grabbed onto my hand and tugged me with him as we got pulled into the shadows practically by chain. A split second before I completely vanished in, the Arcanine had lunged at us, only missing by mere millimetres where we vanished. Thank god we weren't eaten.

When we reappeared next to Rin, Hina, and Channel though, Iris' glare was filled with hatred and, was that, anxiety? She quickly sent out her second Pokéball.

And boy, were we in trouble.

-LINEBIATCH-

"Quick, quick, quick!" I ushered the last person out before quickly slamming the door shut and pressing my back to it. Kirlia immediately twirled and took his place protectively in front of me, knocking away a pouncing Sandslash from us a few seconds later. A Grunt (you know, those followers dressed in black) grunted (lawl, pun) and kicked his Pokémon in fury. I was tempted to run to him and beat the crap out of him to even think about doing that, when a voice called me out.

"Andrew, is everyone out safely?" Tyson came to join me, his own psychic Grumpig bouncing around behind him as it looked for intruders (others than the one who just attacked, of course).

"Yes, all we have to do is guard the doors." I instructed, going slightly into a fighting pose when the ground Pokémon came back for more, but with a friend this time. Kirlia and I took on the Sandslash while Tyson and his Grumpig battled the Ekans.

"Use Psychic, then follow with Shadow ball!" I ordered and Kirlia immediately held out his hands at the sound of the first attack. He glowed with purple energy before it flew to its opponent, consuming it and making the Sandslash fly up into the air before it got slammed roughly back down a few times. Kirlia released the attack before the purple around his body merged together at his hands and shot forward in the shape of a ball, executing the perfect follow up.

"S...lash..." The dark brown porcupine Pokémon moaned as it fell limp on its side, swirls appearing at its eyes in exhaustion.

"You stupid Pokémon!" The Grunt (he shall be called that now) screamed, landing a few more kicks on his Pokémon. I was tempted to beat him up again, before I thought better of it.

"Kirlia, use Psychic on the Grunt!"

"Kirl-li-lia!" Kirlia, reading my emotions (and most probably the thoughts that come with it), eagerly and quickly interrupted said Gruntness mid-swing-kick. He blinked in confusion before looking wildly about, finally his eyes landing on my Pokémon and they narrowed to slits.

I waved happily, as if undisturbed and glad to see him, before turning serious again, "Bring him down."

"Kirl!" Kirlia twirled on his feet, and Sir Grunt had no choice but to twirl in a circle in the air like a plane before he got roughly tossed aside. He sailed for a few split seconds, arms and legs wildly kicking about, before he landed on his back against a pillar. He groaned and let his body fall on his front like his Pokémon had to on its side.

I glanced at Tyson for his thoughts on the matter. He nodded his eyes silently, getting the hidden message hidden in my eyes, before turning back to keep the Ekans busy for us. I gave him a thankful gaze before stalking up to the nearly fainted Grunt.

I crossed my arms and tapped my foot lightly on the ground, "Well?"

"W...well what?" He grunted out, pushing himself to his elbows so that he could glare at me.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" I knelt down and snatched both Pokéballs on his belt away from him, "To abuse Pokémon, who are the ones being forced to do all your dirty work all the time. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

He swallowed, a little bit of guilty shining in his eyes, but he didn't dare act on it, "W...why would I?"

I didn't dare explain it to him. By his expression, I could tell he already knew what he did was wrong. I turned and returned the Sandslash and now-felled Ekans, minimizing the balls and placing them in a small special red velvet bag (that I then returned into my backpack).

"H-hey!" Grunt yelled behind me as I started to return to Tyson, "Stop, you thief!"

I looked over my shoulder at him, giving him one of my coldest glare as I proudly held out my G-MEN badge, "From the orders of STARS, in other words the G-MEN, your Pokémons have now been confiscated. Do expect that my comrades will come back to bring you to jail."

"WHAT?"

"It's as I said." I answered coolly, pinning my badge back to the inside of my orange jacket and shoving my hands in my pockets, watching as Kirlia twirled happily around me. "For your misdeeds, you have every right to be stopped and put into jail."

"B-but—"

"EXCUSE ME!"

I nearly fell over in surprise at the loud and high-pitched voice that interrupted the silence of the stage. The girl called Iris had escaped with both her Pokémon, creating a hole in the blow-up dome as they created an exit. After they left, that's when the Grunts appeared and tried to take our own Pokémon. Most of our team of STARS had scattered; Tyson, Alexis, Sasha and I the last ones in the area. The girls had also just finished taking care of a couple of Grunts, while the most of the rest of them Men-In-Black had either followed Iris or went after the other scattered trainers.

"Jessica?" Alexis called out from the center stage while Sasha tied their Grunts together with some nifty handcuffs (and then to a pole, just to be safe). "What are you doing here?"

"We need to stop them!" She cried, practically hysterical as her eyes flew to every direction of the room (but that's probably just her looking for enemies or something), "Mostly that guy on the Aerodactyl—why are there people in black tied to a random pole?"

"Because they were abusing their Pokémon, so we beat the turd out of them," Sasha said nonchalantly, but you can tell by her expression and the slight smirk that she was proud of herself and her Pokémon (which one of them oh so happens to be the sweet little Pachirisu clinging happily onto her shoulder and cuddling her face in her owner's neck).

"Shweet!" Jessica beamed, "Highfive!"

So they highfived.

From a distance.

(So technically, they just highfived the air at the same time, but you know what I mean).

"Anyways!" Jess turned her bright green eyes to me, going back to hysterical-ness, "Thank god you're here, Andrew! I need a favour from Assassin!"

"Okay sure, but why?" I grabbed the second Pokéball from my belt and tossed it out. Assassin came out calmly with and glided around the open space before deeming it safe and perched its heavy body onto of one of the Grunts' heads, annoyingly thwaping his tail in their faces. You can just tell by the dirty glares on their features that they weren't amused.

"I need him to fly me up to the top of the Space-Time tower!"

"What?" It escaped my lips without thinking, "Why would you want him to do that? He can't fly that far with people holding onto him!"

"We need to stop the guy with the Aerodactyl!"

"But why?" Alexis stressed, sharing a confused look with her fellow girl partner.

Jess moaned and looked around, hands flapping uselessly around, "I can't explain! There's not enough time!"

I frowned and turned my head towards my Gliscor, "Assassin, do you think you'd be able to carry Jessica up the Space-Time tower?"

"Gli! Scor-scor!" He cried affirmatively in determination, after I had pointed through the hole in the dome so that he could look at the tower himself.

"Okay Jessica," Assassin glided above her head, waiting for liftoff. She nodded and glanced up at the Pokémon, worry starting to show, "Hold on tight to his feet and don't let go! One slight twitch of hesitation, and you're dead."

Jess gulped but nodded without backing down, "Got it! No getting scared!"

"Exactly," I nodded to them, thought it mostly felt like myself, "Now go!"

"Wait a sec," She grabbed onto Assassin's legs and started flying upwards, "You're not coming with?"

"Assassin can only carry one person," I explained, following them with my eyes as they started to get higher and higher, "And I trust you with him, so good luck!"

"No-but you-and he—"

"Go! Don't think about it!" I yelled when I could tell that she already wanted to get down.

"O...okay!" With a good bye yell, Jess was back to her confident self as she disappeared through the hole. Gliscor also yelled his goodbye, and you can hear them having some sort of one-sided conversation, since Jess was mostly doing all the talking.

"Come on, Kirlia!" I called as I opened the doors and ran out, my Pokémon twirling obediently behind me.

"H-hey! Where are you going?" Tyson yelped behind me in shock.

"You guys keep guarding the dome!" I paused to turn and look at him, "I'm going to the Space-Time tower to help out!"

"Wait a sec!" Alexis butt in, glaring at the both of us—mostly me though—with her hands on her hips, "We want to help too!"

"Indeed," Sasha chimed with her Pachirisu, "We're a team now. One of us goes, we all go."

"Who's going to watch over the contest dome so that it doesn't get ruined by more grunts?" I frowned and inclined my head towards the grunts who were still tied to the pole (the one Tyson and I fought had also been tied in case of emergencies).

"I'll stay then!" Tyson offered while fisting one of his hands in determination, "Leave it to me! My psychic Pokémons are stronger than they appear!"

"Then we better all let out our Pokémon then, just to be safe," Sasha continue softly, before pulling out her second Pokéball when Alexis nodded her agreement, "Come on out, Claw!"

Alexis joined the girl and tossed her own Pokéball out, "You too, Shadow!"

Both Pokémon appeared in matching bright red lights, the first showing the fierce red and white Zangoose glaring at everyone in the room after he let out a war cry. An Absol came out of the second light and calmly circled Alexis protectively, daring anyone to get too close.

"Arcana, I choose you!" Tyson cried dorkilly before the small Mime Jr. appeared and hopped onto Crystal's, his Grumpig's, head, letting out a cute squeal of happiness for being released from its ball.

"Ready everyone?" I asked, turning back out the doors. Even though I was currently lacking an asset to my awesome teams of coolio ninjas, I was oddly confident yet rushed, feeling like I could take on the world and run a marathon at the same time.

...Did someone sneak caffeine into my drink when I wasn't looking?

(Because it already happened to me once, so I want to make sure.)

"Yup!" Alexis chirped and I heard the multitude of shuffling feet behind me. I shifted to a jog and felt the others following closely. After a few minutes of going around the huge contest dome, we paused at the large entrance of the double towers and glanced up.

"Well that's going to be a lot of stairs to climb..." Sasha commented as she took a placed next to Alexis that was standing by my side, crossing her arms in annoyance.

"We can't give up yet though!" Alexis pumped a hand over her head, "Not until we try!"

"Okay!" I agreed and pushed the large—and heavy!—doors open, "Let's go!"

-LINEBIATCH-

Okay, so you have to admit, that wasn't smart.

"Why are we climbing these stairs again?" Alexis moaned as she collapsed, barely holding herself up by her hands. Her Ralts was trying to cheer her up whilst on her Absol, which then obviously made the girl jealous.

"Because we want to help Jessica?" I offered, holding onto the pole that the stairs were twirling upwards around.

"Why though?" Sasha asked, in better shape than we were since we were practically dying here. "She went in a hurry without telling us what was wrong, so whatever she was trying to do, already happened. In other words, it was fruitless for us to even climb these stairs in the first place!"

"Aw man!" Alexis yelled feebly, dropping her face in the stairs, "This sucks! All this for nothing!"

But it wasn't for nothing, you see.

Because that's when something happened to us.

"Whoa!" Sasha yelped and quickly moved out of the way when the wall she leaning against started to crumble, "What's going on?"

"I don't know!" Alexis quickly skipped up the stairs as they too started to shake and fall, "But we have to move before we die!"

"Wait a sec!" I peeked through the hole in the wall, and gasped at what I saw (and how high we were) "Look!"

"What?" The girls asked together, leaning forward as they joined me.

"That's Jess!" Alexis yelped as she pointed a finger at the Gliscor holding a certain redhead in the air, "She hadn't reached the top after all!"

"More like someone's not letting her." Sasha replied.

I looked at her in confusion of her words before turning my head to what she was looking at. Flying in circles high above Assassin and Jess was a bright blue bird with fluffy white wings that looked like clouds. There was a trainer sitting at its neck too. Both bird Pokémon (and owners, don't forget them!) were flying around, narrowly dodging balls of pure dark energy.

"Wait a sec!" Alexis cried in surprise when Sasha suddenly turned and hurried up the stairs, "Wait for us!"

"Didn't you say it was useless for us to get up there?" I yelled after them, glad that the area where we used to be stopped crumbling and stilled.

"It can't be helped." I heard her say as I stumbled up the stairs behind my Kirlia, who was practically dancing the whole time—dang her and her superior awesome dancing and balance-ness, "My teammates are there!"

"Let's go then!" Alexis suddenly started jumping ahead, taking the stairs two at a time.

I gaped for three seconds (I know, I have skillz) before hurrying my pace.

Jeez, what was up with girls and PSMing all the time?

Sorry for the shortness and maybe the confusion-ness! Everything will make sense in due time!

And for those wondering, yes. If the contest dome survives, then the contest will continue. That's why they're trying to protect it.

SO ALL OC OWNERS, READY FOR 'EM SEXY QUESTIONS?
