Author's Notes: Yo guys, RayTheZoroark (and Blazingalex, I guess) are here for the next chapter. Strap yourselves in, cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Disclaimer: Guess what? I don't, and most likely never will, own Pokémon. Shocker, right?

Riddle:

I have a mouth,

But do not eat.

I have a bed,

But do not sleep.

I am always moving,

But I never tire.

What am I?

(Answer to previous riddle was: One. The others were passing him going the other way)


Chapter 8: Time For A Plot Line

*POV: Alex*

"Um..." A quiet voice came. We all looked over towards the sound, which came from the bed.

"Yes?" I asked.

"The pregnancy test... didn't come from Chloe or Blayze." Amber said, twiddling her thumbs.

"Then who's could it have been?" I asked.

She muttered something quietly.

"What?" I asked.

"Mine." She muttered. It took me a minute to process.

"Y-your's?" I asked.

"Yeah..." She whispered, her head down.

My mind was being overloaded by that new piece of information. Chloe stared at me incredulously. However, before anyone could say anything more, Ray's door opened, and he walked in, carrying the egg container. Shadow followed behind him, staring at a platinum ring with a diamond on it that was on her third claw on her left hand.

"See ya gu-" He started, but stopped when he saw the looks on our faces. "I interrupted something important, didn't I?"

I just nodded. He stood there for a second, and I could have sworn I saw his eyes glow momentarily, then shock register on his face.

"Oh, okay..um... I'm gonna head out now. Got a lot of catching up to do. So I'll just, um... yeah." He said, motioned to Shadow, and they went out the door. I turned to Amber.

"A-are you sure?" I asked. She nodded.

"I... We... Oh wow..." I stuttered.

"Well," Chloe said huffily, "I guess our movie night is ruined." And out the door she went, followed by Blayze.

"No wa- oh come on!" I said. Amber got up, muttered something, and followed them. I leaned my head up against the foot of the bed.

"Ugh. Things just got a hell of a lot more complicated."

~~~~Time Skip~~~~

*POV: Ray*

"First, we have to backtrack all the way to the city where the first gym is, then we can make our way back from there." I told Shadow as we walked down the road.

"Mm-hmm." She said, not really listening.

"Earth to Shadow." I said.

"Hmm?" She asked, turning to me.

"You are amazing." I said, shaking my head.

"I know, that's why you love me." She smiled, putting her head on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes.

"So," She said, "since Aura's in her ball, let's talk about the wedding."

"Well, obviously my parents are coming." I said.

"And you'd better invite Alex too." She said.

"What? Why?" I whined playfully.

"Oh hush." She said, lightly pushing me. I fell over dramatically, grabbing her and pulling her down with me, her on top. We stared at each other for a moment.

"You know, we could make an early camp." She suggested.

"Yeah." I agreed. "But this time, I'm using a condom." She laughed. Somewhere in the bushes, a man crouched, watching the scene unfold.

"Someday, I'll get my revenge. So watch your step. Keep looking behind you. Because one day, you'll pay for what you've done... brother." And the man chuckled lightly as he moved away.
