A/N: I've been lazy, and I've also worked on another fanfic idea that I came up with, but here comes the next chapter.
Fortis' journal
"Who are you?" the pidgey asked Nyara curiously.
"Be careful about that thing, Feather!" the mightyena spat. "We shouldn't get into business with wild pokémon!"
"I'm not wild!" Nyara yelled in protest. The five talking pokémon started staring at her again. She became quiet.
"Ignore her." the mightyena hissed, but then he focused his eyes on her. "Does Fortis have any... I don't know... private documents in here?"
"I won't tell you Master Fortis' secrets!" Nyara exclaimed proudly.
"Are you sure?" he hissed and bared his teeth to Nyara.
"Mighty, don't threaten her!" the riolu said. "We could just search through the cabin!"
"Let's look inside this cupboard!" Feather suggested and tore a cupboard open. There, he found a small book, covers made of dark brown leather. Nyara swallowed nervously. She knew that book.
"Looks like he found it!" Mighty stated.
"No! Give Master Fortis' journal back!" Nyara yelled and ran forward to take it back from Feather. The pidgey chuckled and flew into the air, his claws hanging on to the book.
"Catch it, Aura!" he yelled and threw the book to the riolu. When Nyara tried to attack her, Mighty jumped onto her and pinned her to the ground.
"Let's see what information Fortis can give us." Aura stated as she opened the book and started reading. "This will be my journal in my quest to discover the legendary land of talking pokémon. The quest started when I found a talking meowth by the name of Nyara wandering in the streets. I have reason to believe that her father, who she claims was a talking pokémon also and killed by her non-talking mother, came from that very land."
"So you're Nyara?" Feather asked. "Nice to meet you." Nyara didn't reply. She felt that she couldn't trust the pidgey, even if he seemed to be a nice guy.
"This isn't the information we need!" Aura muttered and flipped pages. "I've been looking for a good crew. The most impressive man I've met this far is Draconis. He's only 20 years old, but seems to know a lot about pokémon and their weaknesses."
"Let go of me!" Nyara tried to bite Mighty, but he ignored her. Aura flipped more pages, seeming a bit angry about the lack of the facts she was looking for.
"Our journey to the land beyond the sea is almost finished. Draconis has been acting strange, he seems too excited..." Aura stopped reading as a loud sound of shattering glass was heard.
"Whitetail!" Mighty hissed as he saw the vase made of glass that had fallen to the floor.
"Whoops." the eevee stated. Footsteps suddenly were heard, coming towards the room. Whitetail and Aura froze, Feather hid behind the pikachu, whose name Nyara still didn't know, and Mighty started muttering curses under his breath.
But as soon as the man who had heard the noise entered the room, he was electrocuted by a wicked bolt of electricity, and he fainted before he got to see what hit him.
"Wow, Shadow. That was one well-timed Thunder." Whitetail stated.
"Thanks for the compliment, Whitetail. Now, let's get out of here. We don't want them to find us here." the pikachu replied, broke the window with an Iron Tail and jumped down into the water.
"Yahoo!" Whitetail yelled and jumped out of the window, dragging Aura along. Feather flew out of the window.
"You come along too. We can risk you to tell Fortis about us!" Mighty growled and pushed Nyara out of the window.
"Eeeek!"
"I'm all wet!" Whitetail complained as she climbed onto the shore. Just to be sure that they wouldn't get caught, they had swum to another shore helf a kilometre longer to the south.
"Don't you dare complain!" Mighty growled. "I had to drag that stubborn thing along! She refused to swim, so she would've drowned if I hadn't taken her along!" He pointed at Nyara, who sat on the shore, her arms crossed.
"Explain why you kidnapped me!" the meowth yelled.
"We didn't exactly kidnap you. We just had to take you with us so that you won't tell Fortis about who 'borrowed' his journal." Shadow replied calmly.
"That's no difference." Nyara muttered. "Who are you, really? Outlaws, right?"
"We are an Exploration Team, the complete opposite to outlaws! How dare you call us outlaws?" Whitetail exclaimed. "Team Saviours, a team with... eh... Shadow... What rank do we have now again?" she asked the pikachu awkwardly.
"Diamond Rank." Shadow said.
"Team Saviours, a team with Diamond Rank!" Whitetail finished proudly, as if she had never forgotten the rank at all.
"Hey guys, listen to the last entry in the journal!" Aura suddenly said. "Draconis left after our meeting with Arceus, the ruler of pokémon. Hours later, he came back, claiming that he had discovered a fascinatng place called the Amp Plains, where plenty of his favorite pokémon, electric-types, could be found."
"Does this mean what I think it means?" Whitetail asked.
"Yes." Shadow replied. "Draconis seems to be up to something. I don't know how useful it will be, but we're going to the Amp Plains."
A/N: There was more of Nyara in this chapter. The next chapter might still contain a little bit from her point of view, but after that it'll be more from Shadow.
