AAUGH, darn it! I hate it so much when I don't get these in as soon as possible. And I really want some good atteantion for once. Ah well, it's close to the new year's, So Happy new year to all. Now, back to the story.

"Hey, you okay?" Reluno said as he watched as his fainted wife opened her eyes.

"Yes, I'm okay," she responded as she got up.

Reluno sighed as he helped her up. He looked into the direction which he felt the aura blast come from.

Where the heck did that blast come from? he asked himself.

Then his daughter came to mind immediately. But before he could react, a gunshot rang out in the forest. Then two people came out of the forest, holding pistols and wearing a familiar emblem on their clothing.

Rockets, Reluno thought to himself, they always make such flashy entrances.

"Now, what do you want!" he yelled at them.

"We saw a Pokemorph fall from the sky from our place," one of the grunts said, "judging from the looks of it, I'd say your hiding it."

Reluno looked at the smug look on their faces and looked toward the back of the house. Then he looked toward his wife, Rita, who was hiding behind his back.

"Don't worry," he whispered, "it will be alright, you won't need to fight."

She nodded as the grunts approached them.

"Alright, we could do this the easy way or the hard way," the grunt said smugly as he pointed his pointed his gun at Reluno, "So what's it goin be?"

Reluno only smiled, "Oh, how about…?"

"THE HARD WAY!" a voice suddenly yelled as a black blur went between the grunt and Reluno.

Kama suddenly appeared next to them, with a large scythe in her hand. When one of the grunts attempted to shoot her, he immediately found that the barrel was slashed off. When the other grunt tried to reach for his gun, the holster holding it was shot off his leg.

"What wrong?" a voice yelled at the rockets, "can't reach for a gun fast enough?"

A tall figure walked out of the forest, with a smoking gun in its left hand. The grunts quickly found that this figure was clearly not human. Although it stood as if it was human, the head was that of a Pidgeotto. Wings also were protruding on its back, as well as the exposed parts had light brown feathers covering them. No sooner that it came out of the forest he took from his belt a long sword and pointed it at his enemies.

"So, gonna try to capture me now?" he asked dauntingly.

"You … we're not done yet," the grunt responded in fury as he took a Pokeball from his belt.

"If that's the case," Kama said as she walked toward the Pidgeotto morph's side, raising her scythe, "you're in for a world of hurt."

"Aqune, you in their?" Yasuka shouted, as she knocked the bathroom door.

That's odd, she thought as she walked into the bathroom, she would respond to anyone's calls when she hears them.

When she looked around, she saw a shadow under one of the stalls.

"For goodness sake," she said relieved, "don't scare me like that. You almost gave me a heart ataAAAAH!"

What she thought was Aqune was actually something she wasn't expecting. What she did find was an Eevee morph sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Hey!" Yasuka yelled, "Are you okay? Please say something!"

When the morph opened its eyes, it tried to move but act if it was injured. Slowly, it turned its head, looking towards Yasuka with tired eyes.

"Yasuka…" it said in a familiar voice, "is that you."

Yasuka covered her mouth in shock when she heard it talk.

No way, it can't really be… but that's just not... how could it…, Yasuka thought as she watched the morph tried get up.

"Aqune, is that you?" she asked as she helped her up.

"Yeah, I guess…" Aqune responded wearily as she stood.
"Well, what happened to you?" Yasuka said panicked.

"I don't know, I was a suffering like I had a fever one minute, the next…" she said as looked at herself in a mirror, "this."

Yasuka watched as Aqune looked at herself in the mirror, first looking at her hand, then putting her hand on her face.

Wow, Yasuka thought, Aqune might be taking some of this quite hard.

"Oh, that's right!" she said in realization, "Aqune, how are you going get out of the school like that?"

Aqune turned to her with a surprised look on her face, "Truth to be told, that never came to mind."

"Oh, you," Yasuka said in a huff, "Come on, let's get to my locker. I think I have a spare raincoat or something."

"I'm pretty sure it was in here for some time," Yasuka said as she went through her locker as Aqune hid in her own.

Oh man, Aqune thought she peaked from for her locker, what kind of mess did I get myself into this time. Luckily these lockers are large enough for someone to fit in.

She looked around to see there was anyone walking down the hallway. Suddenly, she started to hear a ticking noise that irritated her.

"Hey, Yasuka," Aqune asked, "do you hear some kind of noise?"

"What noise?" she responded, "You sure you're not bugging out?"

"Shut up," Aqune said annoyed, "I know I hear something."

Although she had only begun to notice, her hearing was more acute than it was before. When she followed the ticking, she came upon a closed locker. When she looked closely through the holes of the locker, there was some kind of object inside that was making the noise. Only one thing came to her mind when she saw the object.

"Yasuka, GET DOWN!" Aqune yelled as she dove for her best friend.

By the time she did that, she shut her eyes tightly, hearing only a loud explosion behind her.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"What the hell was that?" Ms. Hirnona yelled panicked.

"Everyone, let's get out of here!" Professor Elm shouted as students ran out of the classroom.

"C'mon, Viktor," Cecil yelled, "You wanna get blown up while thinkin' like that?"

"Fine, let's go," Viktor answered irritated as he got out of his seat.

As the pair ran out of the classroom, Viktor spotted Kazumi and Kaede running in a different direction.

"C'mon, Cecil," Viktor said as he dragged him by the hand, a following the siblings.

As they ran after them, Viktor noticed how they ran in directions that were farthest from the explosions.

It's almost as if they knew could predict how it would go, Viktor thought suspiciously.

When Kazumi and Kaede stopped, Viktor and Cecil screeched to a stop as well. The two behind the siblings immediately hid behind the door of the nearby classroom.

"Don't try to hide," Kazumi said with his back still turned, "I know your back."

Viktor flinched when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy," Kazumi said reassuringly, "but you better be prepared. Things here are about to get a little dicey."

As Kazumi said this, a black figure appeared in the smoke, approaching the twins. As it got closer, the clothing the man was wearing became distinct. He was wearing black pants and a black shirt, with a large R symbol on the shirt.

Wait, that can't be! Viktor mind raced as he saw the man.

"Heh, what a relief," the rocket said with a laugh, "I thought it would be some authorities, but turns out I get a bunch of brats. Today must be my lucky day."

"You lowlife," Kazumi said as he took something out, "you were the one that set up those bombs."

"Has Team Rocket stooped to acts of terrorism just to discourage resistance?" Kaede said in disgust.

"Hey, you watch your mouth kid," the man said with cockiness, "Someday, the boss will take everything over, and when you can't beat them, you know you'll have to join them."

Victor immediately noticed a certain look on Kazumi's eye, as if he has realized something.

"That chatter…" Kazumi said in confidence, "are you a rookie?"

"That depends," the man responded, "why you ask?"

"Cause from where I see it," Kazumi said with a mocking tone, "only a newcomer would say such things."

The rocket had clearly snapped, as he started to take out a Pokeball from his belt.

"You think you're so clever," the rocket said, "I'm going to make you pay for that."

When the man threw the Pokeball, a flash of light jumped out of it. When it cleared, a Mightyena stood in a lowered stance, ready to battle.

"What do you think you're doing," Viktor yelled toward Kazumi, "you trying to get killed!"

"You'll see," Kazumi simply said right before charging at the Mightyena with some sort of disk in his hand.

Seeing this, the Mightyena attempted to leap at Kazumi in an attempt to bite him. Kazumi moved fast and then simply countered the Pokemon by kicking it away. When the Pokemon got back up, it charged again, this time showing its fangs, which immediately flared up.

A Fire Fang! Viktor thought, What the hell does he think he's doing!

Unfazed, Kazumi got into a battle stance and watched the movements of his opponent. When the Mightyena leaped at him, dodged it and kicked it up. Then he slashed it with his disk, knocking the Pokemon back and injuring it.

"What the…!" the rocket yelled, surprised, "Where the hell did you learn to do that?"

"Practice," Kazumi merely said before getting into another battle stance.

Incredible, Viktor thought as he watched, this guy can't be your average student.

When Viktor took a look towards Kaede, he immediately noticed movement in the room next to her. Then he saw another person start sneaking up to her.

Not good, was Viktor all could think before he left his hiding place.

Without thinking, he charged at the man before he got a chance to get to Kaede. He immediately pulled back his fist and hit the man with everything he had. When he looked up, he saw that the man was rolled up and cringing, holding his stomach. He then noticed a tingling sensation in his hand. When he looked at his fist, he was surprised to find what he saw. Surrounding his fist was dark brown orb of energy, which glowed brightly. When he opened his hand, the energy dispersed.

What in the world was that? Viktor thought as he looked at his hand with surprise.

When he looked up, he saw that Kaede had a surprised look on her face. She then quickly looked away, watching Kazumi approach his opponent.

"N-no way," the rocket stammered as he watched his Mightyena crumple to the ground, "what kind of kid are you?"

"The real question is," Kazumi responded, "who the heck do you think you are?"

When the rocket took back his Pokemon, he ran away in a huff. His partner managed to get up and stumbled as he tried to follow him.

"Well, that was resolved quietly," Kaede said with a smile.

"Hey, someone help!" a familiar voice yelled down the hallway.

When Viktor and the others heard this, they turned around to find Yasuka carrying a person in a raincoat on her back.

"Yasuka, what happened," Cecil asked, "and who's that you're carrying?"

"It's Aqune," she responded, "she got hurt getting me away from a blast."

"Hey," Kazumi said with concern, "you okay?"

"I'm fine," Aqune responded, "It's not as bad as you think."
"Let's get out of here," Cecil said, "it's getting dangerous in here."

When all of them got out, they ran immediately into the nearby tree line.

"Alright," Yasuka said with relief, "looks like we're out."

"Sorry, guys," Kaede said, "but we need to get going."

"Wait, where are you running off to," Viktor said with suspicion.

"Somewhere that isn't here," Kazumi simply responded.

"See ya," the twins said as they ran off in a deeper part of the forest.

"Those two are a bit weird," Cecil remarked, "I thought they were going to attend our school."

"Maybe," Aqune said, "their just wandering."

"Who knows," Yasuka said, "c'mon, let's go to Aqune's house. I think we'll be safer there."
