-Courtney's POV-

I yawned as I entered all of the rooms my pokemon stayed in, going to cookies first as it was closest, knocking on the door I called out

"Hey Cookie? time to get up and ready for training now!" I waited as the silence stunned me "Cookie?" I tried the door remembering she didnt lock her bedroom door. when I was in the room I gasped the room was empty with the window wide open. "Cookie? please dont mess around like this... you can come out now... oh Cookie please no!" that is when I noticed the note thinking it was a ransom note I picked it up and dashed towards Anna's room waking everyone up as I went without even meaning to whilst I shouted "Anna!"constantly. finally reaching Anna's room I was out of breath but I didnt care as I burst into the room and sighed "Anna your so typical... the only one who's still asleep..." I walked up to her shaking like a leaf in a tornado and pinched her sholder

"Ow!" Anna cried out "why'd you do that Courtney?" I didnt say anything, I just passed her the note as she gasped then gave me a hug "its ok Courtney.. im sure she doesnt mean she'll be gon e forever..." I blinked

"What? I thought it was a ransom note?" I snatch up the letter hastily and speedily read it "no... please let this just be a dream... " I glanced over to Anna who was grinning slightly

"Well... theres one way to find out if your dreaming or not Courtney..." Anna grinned again as she pinched me

"Ow!" I shouted "that really hurt Anna... oh no..." I rubbed my arm where she pinched me "well... we know im not asleep anymore..." I turned towards the door to see Chii waiting at the bedroom door

"Courtney..." she asked "are you ok? You kind of look like you've seen a ghost..." there was something else she wanted to say but she didnt my hand shook as I handed the note to her "oh my!" she gasped "thats just harsh... we should we tell flare and zipza..." she began but she trailed off as I shook my head

"No..." I managed to mutter "we're best not to tell anyone... now lets go out side and get ready for todays training... bulbs will have to sit out and not fight though..." Chii nodded as we all left to the small area to train leaving the note on my bed, it read ' dear courtney. I really found staying with you and being your pokemon is nice but... I just want freedom, dont bother trying to find me... ive already gone with the wind and you shall never see me again EVER! signed Cookie' I snapped out of my flashback and despairingly watched as Zipzapp grinned evilly at me, luckily the bomb hadnt really harmed me or Anna but I was close to breaking down as Zipzapp turned and ran

"No Zipzapp... dont..." I turned towards Anna with my head down as I muttered that, tears slowly steaming down my face " he's not gonna come back is he Anna..?" I look up tears steaming down my face as Anna shook her head

"I dont think so Courtney..." she finaly muttered low enough for the pokemon not to hear her "he's doing what Cookie did but... right before your eyes..." I nod slowly

"I suppose your right Anna..." I sigh and turn to all the other pokemon with my head down "Well... im sorry guys... but theres no training for today due to traumatic events... I think your best to just go to bed now, I'll bring dinner in later..." they all shuffled off mumbling except for Court and Chii as I tried to shoo them on "C'mon you two get moving please" Chii and Court shook there heads

"Courtney I need to talk to you..." Chii muttered as I nodded my face grimmer then a grimer

"Ok but... first Court you need to go back inside" I silently murmer watching as Chii shook her head

"I know you told me not to tell Courtney but... Court knows..." Chii began whilst Court nodded

"All about the note and Cookie..." Court finished as I turn to Chii the tears welling up in my eyes

"Chii... I trusted you not to tell..."

"I know but..." Chii began

"I was to persistant plus I can some times read peoples minds but its only of people who have protected me from danger... so I got bits of it from you Courtney when you protected me from what happened to..." suddenly me and Court just broke down as Chii and Anna watched silently...
