I was laughing like an idiot when this story got it's hundredth hit. And only two reviews! Seriously, people!

Back at the alleyway, Adriana was getting impatient. Luna the Teddiursa tried not to fall off her back as she paced back and forth. "C'mon... Where are they?"

Kyle couldn't help but smile. He looked up at Draco, who was acting like a night guard. "First Adeline, now you," he retorted. "What is with you two?"

Adriana glared at him. "What do you mean, Kai-Lai?" she hissed. Raised in a wealthy household, Adriana wasn't used to being complained about.

"Don't call me that," Kyle growled. "And what I mean is, you're both really impatient."

Adriana's reaction was reflex. To sum up that last sentence, she slapped him. "Am not!" she yelled. "And watch you say you-"

"Adriana Taylor Garcia!"

Adriana froze when she heard her full name. She turned around, just to see Rio, Alex, and Adeline. She smiled when she saw Rio holding her laptop. He smiled at her, and said "Were you about to cuss?"

"Why are you a head?" Adriana asked Adeline, who was still in Pokemorph form. Luna jumped off her back and began playing with Alex's tail.

Adeline pulled her hair. "To be honest, I dunno," she said. "All of a sudden, I feel like pulling hair." She let go, and floated around.

Then, she and Alex were surrounded by a dim light. Mischief teleported in, and Magic flew out of Adeline's glowing form. The light began to fade, and the two kids once again looked normal. That doesn't mean they are normal, though.

Adeline was shaking all over. "An hour without legs is torture," she muttered.

Adriana took the laptop from Rio and stuffed it in her bag. "We have to look at the data tomorrow," she said. "We need a place to stay for the night."

"What about the Pokemon center?" Alex suggested. "I mean, we can stay for free-"

"And risk getting caught?" Kyle interrupted. "If we stay here in a public place here in Eterna, they're going to find us."

Rio grinned. " I have another idea!"

Adeline sighed. "Not again..."

"Are you sure this is safe, bro?" Adriana asked, looking in the large cave. "I mean, this thing might collapse any time."

Rio smiled, and took out an explorer kit. "It's perfectly safe," he said in an assuring tone. "It's been holding for five years!"

Kyle looked confused. "What is this place?"

"It's a tunnel to the Underground," Adeline explained. "The Underground Man built it years ago, but it hasn't been used after the explorer kits."

Alex smiled. "Yep. I remember when we were little and made our own secret base," he said. "Is that where we're going?"

Rio nodded. "It's the safest place we can stay."

Adriana didn't look satisfied. "Safest?"

"Safest for us," Rio said. "The only way to get to the base is to have a Pokemon guide you."

Shadow the Poochyena took that as a cue, and ran into the cave. The rest of the Pokemon moved to the front of the group, with their human partners close behind. After winding through the seemingly endless tunnels, they came to... a wall.

"Good boy, Shadow!" Rio said, ruffling his partner's fur. "Help yourself to the food cabinet once we get inside." He handed Shadow a key.

"It's just a wall," Adriana said, disappointed.

Rio glared at her. "It's a secret base," he pointed out. "It's not supposed to be obvious."

"This is where brute strength is important," Alex said, pressing his hand against the wall. He reared back, and rammed the wall. Hard. He fell backwards, his side hurting. The wall didn't budge.

Adeline sighed. "It's a sliding door, you idiot," she said, digging her fingers into a crack in the wall. She pulled the crack to one side, and sure enough, it slid open, leaving a entrance large enough for an average thirteen year old to fit through.

"Uh, I knew that!" Alex said, pushing himself off the ground. He looked at Rio and Kyle. "When did you change it?" he whispered.

"About a year ago, when you were in Hearthome," Kyle said. "Somebody crashed into it, so we had to add the sliding door."

Rio shrugged. "We thought we wouldn't use it again, so we didn't tell you."

Alex sighed and climbed through the entrance. Adeline, Adriana, and all the Pokemon were already inside, looking at all of the decorations. Shadow unlocked the food cabinet, took some Pokemon treats out, and locked it. Smart dog, he thought.

"YAH!"

Alex turned around to see Rio falling through the entrance hole.

And his not-so-smart master, Mischief said telepathically. Are you sure he's the professor's son?

Alex nodded. Positive, he replied. I think I'm getting used to the whole telepathy thing.

Mischief paused. Uh oh, here comes the big mouth.

Which one?

The scary one, Mischief said, pointing at Adeline.

Alex sighed. She's not scary, maybe a bit demented...

First your best friend, Mischief looked at Rio, Now, your-

She's not-

"Yo, one-man geek squad," Adeline said, interrupting Alex's thought. "We need help setting up the computer."

Alex glared at his partner, who teleported off to the group of Pokemon. He then looked to Adeline. "I thought we weren't looking at those files 'till tomorrow."

"Kyle wants to see those files first thing," Adeline explained. "Plus, it's a pain to wake you up in the morning."

Alex opened his mouth to argue, but what came out was something among the lines of "good point".

A.N. Yes, the siblings are filthy rich... So don't be surprised in future chapters if Adriana breaks out a ton of cash... Or something.
