[Edit] Same as before

mockstevenh is back with yet another chapter, yeah! I'm sorry for the wait. I had gotten far behind in school work so I wasn't really able to get that much down. But on the bright side, Spring break is coming up for me so I will have a lot more time to write.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon GameFreek does.

ON TO THE STORY! Nyah!

Chapter 5: Reunited

The Glaceon finally woke up about five minuets after I did. The Glaceon yawned as she awoke and looked around.

"I see you finally woke up." I said with a slight chuckle.

She jumped up and backed away. "I-I should be saying that to you!" She said with her cheeks puffed out and a blush clearly visible on her white fur. "I-I mean you were the one who dropped down on me from out of no where."

"I did?" I said with an idiotic expression.

"Y-yes!" She said with a huff.

"Oh." I said, not really understanding what she had just said. "Well I'm sorry. Oh! I'm Steven, who are you?" I said holding my paw out to her.

"I'm Erica. Why are you holding out your paw?" She said, her embarrassment replaced with curiosity.

"Oh whoops." I said withdrawing my paw. "I forgot most Pokémon don't do that."

"Most Pokémon?" Erica said, her curiosity intensifying. "I've never seen any Pokémon do that before."

'Crap.' I thought while scratching the back of my head with my paw. 'Should I tell her?'

"Your weird." She giggled.

'Well I guess not.' I thought giggling a bit with her. Then a thought crossed my mind. 'When was the last time I ate?' as if to answer my question, my stomach growled announcing it's emptiness.

"Wow, your stomachs loud Steven" She giggled, only to stop when her stomach growled as well. We were both laughing now.

"Come on let's head over to town to get something to eat." She said once her laughing subsided. She then began to walk away.

"Wait!" I yelled. "Where are we anyways?"

"We're in Oran Forest." she said, without turning.

I looked up an immediately noticed the trees were covered in blue Oran berries. I ran to catch up with her, but stayed a little bit behind so she could lead the way. "So what were you doing out here?" I asked, wanting to make conversation and to ignore the pain in my stomach.

"I was training to enter the contest in town." She said with a glint in her eye, but then sighed. "But, I need to have a team of three or four members at least in order to enter, and I only have three months until they stop allowing contestants to enter."

"Uh... what's the town that we're headed to called?" I said, remembering that there was never any contest before in Treasure town. "And who's hosting the contest?"

She looked at me with a questioning face before answering. "It's called Treasure town, home of the Explorers, and the Guild master Wigglytuff is hosting it." She said, then a look of inspiration dawned on her face. "Will you join my team?" She said, jumping in anticipation.

I considered her for moment while weighing the options in my mind. "Maybe." I told her, not wanting to say no unless I had to. Her face fell and I quickly added, "I just need to find someone that lives near the town first, Okay?" Her face lifted some.

We walked in silence for a few minutes before she asked, "So who's this someone you're looking for?"

"His name is-" I stopped mid-sentence as I picked up a familiar scent in the area. It was one that I could never forget as long as I lived. Just to make sure, I concentrated as I looked for the aura of the Pokémon I was looking for. A few feet in front of us behind the undergrowth and trees was the exact person I was looking for. I quickly dashed forward pass Erica and through the trees and plowed right into a Luxray, who fell onto his back with a yelp.

"Lightning!" I yelled as I hugged him as tight as possible to make sure he wouldn't disappear. "It's really you Lightning!"

"Um, who are you?" He said, still shocked at what had just happened.

"It's me!" I yelled as tears of utter joy began to fall down my blue furred cheeks soaking his fur. "It's Steven!"

His eyes winded before he returned the hug now crying as well. "Please don't let this be a dream." He whispered as he cried.

"It's not a dream Lightning! This is real!" I yelled, my voice muffled by his fur.

Erica came through the trees and saw us hugging each other and crying. She seemed lost at what to do. So she just sat there with conflicting emotions.

Suddenly a loud growl broke through the noise. I stopped hugging lighting as I got off with an embarrassed face, my cheeks soaked and covered in a red blush. Lightning laughed as he got up too with a huge smile spread across his face. "Looks like someones hungry." He said, laughing until another growl ripped through the air.

"You're one to talk." I said laughing too.

We both laughed before we noticed Erica sitting a few feet away with a troubled look. "Who's the Glaceon?" Lightning said offhandedly.

"Oh, that's Erica." I said as I went over to get her attention. "Hey Erica, are you alright?"

"W-what?" She said, snapping out of her thoughts. "Oh, I'm fine. I just didn't know what to do when I saw you two crying."

"Sorry about that." I said before my stomach growled once more reminding me of it's status. "But let's talk latter. I really need something to eat." they both nodded and we continued on to treasure town.

~Time Skip~ 10 Minuets

We arrived at the the crossroads through the east entrance. It was a dirt road intersection that went in all four directions. North was the guild, south was the beach, west was Treasure Town, and east led to the rest of the region. When we arrived the first thing I noticed was the large banner over Spinda's cafe. Both Lightning and Erica passed by the banner and went in without even looking at it. I looked up at it and it read:

Spinda's cafe: Best berry smoothies around!

I then quickly followed them as they made their way into town. I couldn't see much of the town due to the large crowd. All I could really see was the road and Erica who was in front of me.

"So Lightning, do you live around here?" Erica asked as we followed Lightning through the crowded streets of the town. 'Why is it so crowded?' I thought as looked at all the Pokémon crowding the road. I could barely see the town through the crowd.

"Yes, my home is past the town." He said as he smiled at her, making sure not to flash his fangs. "Just follow me."

After a few minuets of navigating through the crowed we finally popped out of it and made our way too the cliff. There wasn't much of a difference except that the trees were now twice their size. The cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff had one simple dirt road running from the town to the edge of the cliff. If you looked at the cliff from a distance you could see that it looked like a Sharpedo face was carved into the face of the cliff. There were two trees on the edge of the cliff's right side and a fence on the left. In front of the cliff near the edge stood a poll with a cloth of some sorts with some strange Pokémon drawings on it. Right behind the poll was a bush that held our destination.

"Um... Why are we at Sharpedo Bluff?" She asked. Both Lightning and me smirked as we made are way over to the bush that led to Sharpedo Bluff's interior. She gasped when she saw the stairs leading down into the cliff and followed us in. When we arrived inside her shock only increased.

"Wow." Was all she said as her jaw dropped.

Inside you could see the cliff opening to the ocean. There was a line of jagged rocks that lined the edge, looking just like a Sharpedo bottom jaw. Right by the entrance were a few baskets of berries to eat. In the back of the cave like structure was a a small fountain for drinking water. There was some grass growing around on the floor as well as some plant life growing on the walls. On the floor there were two hay beds as well as some hay in the corner to make beds for guests.

Both Lightning and me giggled at her reaction before going over to the berries in the baskets. We both grabbed a berry from the baskets and began to eat. I looked at Erica and noticed she was staring at the view of the ocean as the sun set on the horizon while she sat at the interior cliff's edge. I sighed and brought her a pecha berry from the pile. I sat down next to her as I laid the berry next to her. Lighting soon joined my side and we all watched the beautiful colors of the sunset play across the water.

When the sun finally set and had all eaten our fill we each got one of the hay beds too sleep (but first made Erica a bed) deciding to talk in the morning. I smiled as I lay my back down on the hay Thinking, 'I'm finally home.' before closing my eyes and drifting of to sleep.
