Hi! Welcome to chapter 4! I am very excited for this. I know my chapters are kind of short, but I'm not very experienced as a writer, even though it is my passion. I guess I'll have to improve on that. Let's continue with the story!

Meowth arrived at the shop which Jessie and James were at, gasping for breath. They were looking at some eevees and were debating whether to capture them or not. Turning to see the cat pokemon, Jessie raised a brow.

"What's the matter with you? Come look at these eevee!" Jessie grinned.

"Found…Twerp…" Meowth gasped. He was so unfit.

"What? Where is he?" James exclaimed.

"Don't…Know…"

"How predictable! You lost him, you moron!" Jessie yelled. Meowth flinched. Jessie could be scary when she wanted to be.

"It wasn't my fault! I ran around a corner after him and he had just…vanished," Meowth growled, making eye contact with the pink haired girl. They had a silent standoff, before Meowth finally gave in.

"I don't know where the twerp went, but he can't have gone far, we'll just centre our search near the area where he went missing," Meowth said. Jessie nodded her head and James spoke up.

"We can't let Giovanni know, he'll kill us!" James said and the other two murmured in agreement.

Ash opened his eyes. He was lay on the sofa, Ruby, Chloe and Luna looking down at him, worry etched onto their faces. Why did they care so much? He had only met them the previous day. He yawned, getting up. He felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. He brushed it off as hunger.

"Are you okay, you've been out for a few hours…" Chloe said worriedly. Ash looked up at her.

"I'm okay, just feeling a little weak…" Ash grunted, getting to his feet as Chloe was about to protest, but was halted by Luna.

"We should probably get out of here, if what Ruby told me is true, a Team Rocket member saw you. That means they'll know where to look. We should leave as soon as possible. Now would be best. We must put as much distance between them and us,"

"I'm fine, I can leave now, I'll ride my Ponyta…"

"Okay, but since they don't know what we look like, we are okay, but they all know what you look like, so put this on. It belonged to our other sister…" Ruby said, throwing a dark brown cloak at him. It fit nicely.

"What other sister?" Ash asked curiously. The sisters looked at each other, before Chloe spoke up.

"Our sister…was the alolan vulpix. She was the same age as you are now. She…" Chloe choked, looking like she would cry. "She sacrificed her life for the freedom of all the hybrids…" The others didn't say a word. Ruby began to cy, tears spilling down her face. Ash felt a wave of guilt, wishing he had never asked in the first place.

"Well…we should be setting off…We'll rent two Tauros to ride, Ruby and Ash can ride on Ponyta's back." Chloe said. The others nodded in agreement as Ash pulled up the keel, most of his features being hidden.

"Let's go…" Ruby said, taking a deep breath as they left the house, setting off walking.

Jessie, James and Meowth arrived at the house a few minutes later, looking around for any sign of activity. They continued to knock on all the homes, pretending to be inspectors. They received no results. They arrived at the last house. James knocked on the door, but nobody answered.

"I smell him…" Meowth smirked. "He's been here," Jessie smirked, kicking down the door and marching inside. The two boys looked at each other in surprise before following her inside. Jessie looked around. It looked inhabited, yet nobody was here. All the lights were turned off and it seemed empty.

"Hm…" Jessie said, turning to James and Meowth. "How strange,"

"Where could they be?"

"Maybe it's because someone gave away the fact we were here and the fawn scurried away" Jessie glared at Meowth, who looked at the floor shamefully.

"Let's just see if anyone has seen him," James suggested.

"Yes, let's do that!" Jessie exclaimed, quickly perking trio went outside and ran down the road as fast as their legs would carry them.

Ash, Ruby, Chloe and Luna had arrived at the stable which rented out ride pokemon. They paid for two tauros, Luna and Chloe mounting one each whilst Ash and Ruby got on Ponyta's back. They then broke into a gallop on a road out of the town and to the forest.

They entered the forest, slowing to a trot as they rode under the canopy, enjoying the spring breeze. They slowed as the figure of a girl, just a bit younger than Ash blocked his path.

"Leave this place…You are not welcome here," She hissed quietly, the words sending a shiver down their spines. The girl then formed a vine in her hand and sent it out, wrapping it around Ash's throat.

Whooh. I am so excited, I have the entire story planned out, this is…gonna be…AWESOME! Don't forget to follow, favourite and comment. BAIIII
