Dan's POV

"Emil use Brave Bird! Tory dodge and use Swift!"

My flying type flipped in the air and charged forward with his powerful flying type attack while Tory evaded the incoming Poison Sting and gave Emil some coverage with her Swift coating the Brave Bird attack.

The two Pokemon, Ekans and Jigglypuff were helpless when Emil came into contact and pushed them with great force against a pair of trees. The two Pokemon still got up as I grinned and said "Nice job guys!"

My opponent was a guy who was a bit taller than me and he had an arrogant get up with his dancer clothes and rapping attitude. He growled and said "Come on! We can't lose to these Pokemon!"

I shrugged as he said "Ekans groove with a Tackle attack and Jigglypuff put on your sweet tunes with a Sing to make'em hit the sack."

Jigglypuff started singing while my Pokemon slowly dozed to sleep. Ekans shot forward but I said "Stay awake! Emil lift Tory!"

Emil mustered enough willpower but Tory had fallen asleep. Emil grabbed the normal type by the shoulders and dodged the attack as he soared into the air. I grinned and said "Emil shake Tory awake and go for a Swift barrage!"

Emil shook Tory awake as the monkey got on top of Emil and he circled around the two Pokemon as the Aipom bombarded them like a jet plane with her Swift attack. The two Pokemon were hammered by the attack until they were weakened enough as I said "Toty off! Emil Wild Charge!"

Emil soared down as Tory quickly hopped of as Emil used his improved speed to land a direct hit on the two Pokemon with the electric type attack effectively knocking them out. The guy grabbed his hair and said "My money and buddies!"

Emil, Tory and I cheered as Connor applauded and Liz cheered. Jordan and Luke hopped around in joy as the guy walked over to me, handed me some cash and said "Nice job little dude, you've got some spunk and I aint being rude. Maybe you could help around in the charity gig we got, it would be great if your friends and you could sice they can help a lot."

"A charity case?" inquired Connor,

The dancer nodded and said "It's led by some dude from Unova and a Cerulean girl with some good charisma. The guys earning for his orphanage and I help out too with my crew, I just decided to take a break and I came across a little brew."

Honestly that made no sense but Liz clapped her hands together and said "Charity cases are always fun! What do you do there?"

He did a spin move with his hands, posed and said "We dance little lady, in the nearby town we move and groove to earn some money."

Connor shrugged and said "Could be fun, Animus! Arthus!"

Animus and Arthus appeared before us and nodded as the guy tripped back a bit in surprise and said "Wow! Shiny Pokemon in the house!"

Liz and I laughed as Connor spoke to them. It had been nearly a week since that massive forest fire. I got a call from Agent Silver or Vencer as we call him and said that he was fine and just got a broken arm. Nobody had been hurt and that was good but what bothered me was what did Kyurem mean, I heard it and I think Liz heard it too but whenever I bring up the subject she throws it away. Another thing that got me was that I heard from Radon that someone had defeated Darkrai who was in the possession of Argon, Connor's opponent. Connor told me he had battled Argon and won but he had no mention of Darkrai but Arthus and Animus' smirks said otherwise, if those two were that strong I can't imagine how good Connor really is.

He turned back to us and said "We agree my friend, what is your name again?"

He did a back flip and said "MJ Macurdy! Pop dancer and trainer to the extraordinary!"

Connor shook his hand and said "Nice to meet you, my name is Connor Auroris, this is Liz Carterina and this is Dan Ketchum."

"Ketchum? Son of Ash Ketchum? Champion Ash Ketchum?" he inquired,

I nodded as he grinned and said "No wonder I dog gone lost, aint nobody got nothing on you especially the most."

I laughed nervously as he said "We're just close to the town, the events in a fair full of games, prizes and rides! Fun and fiestas all around and the concert is what I'm talking about."

Liz jumped and said "Awesome! A fair! We can help around too so let's go Dan!"

Connor nodded at him and said "Lead the way!"

He spun around and started to walk with a rhythmic beat in his step. Connor and Liz happily grinned as we headed towards the fair. It had been a while since I had been to one, the last time it happened was around two years ago and it was fun. All the games the rides and the prizes, it was pretty awesome for me.

Animus and Arthus conversed with each other as Connor and MJ started to talk. Liz cracked her knuckles and said "Hey Dan, honestly I have never been to a fair."

I gave a laugh and said "And you described it like you went to one every day! Really? Not even once?"

She glared at me with her amethyst eyes as if challenging me to not believe her. I held my hands up defensively and said "Okay! So this is your first time to try?"

She nodded and said "Even as a kid, I was always on lock down and always said to be a lady but I always wanted to be like those kids who could have fun in a fair."

I gave her a smile and said "Cheer up! I'll take you!"

Liz perked up and said "Really?"

I nodded and said "Sure why not? It'll be just like a date but as friends' right?"

Was it me or a flash of disappointment flashed on her face, I shrugged it off as she started to smile again and said "Sure Dan"

I stretched my arms as Jordan and Luke walked beside me and Jordan said "Pichu PI Chu Pi Pi Chu Cha Pichu Pi? (Hey Dan what's a carnival like?)"

Luke nodded and said "Yes Master Dan, what is a carnival like; I do believe I haven't been to one yet."

I shrugged and said "Once again guys, it's a place to have fun. SO much rides and games even the food is good."

"Pi! (FOOD?!)" stated Jordan, "Pichu! (I'm in!)"

I rolled my eyes as Luke nodded at me. MJ then said "Come on let's move! The awesome fair is just over there so let's groove!"

MJ ran as Connor, Liz, and I ran after him, a few minutes of running later we came across a small town that had a true to word carnival. The large Ferris Wheel caught my eye and the rides, stands and booths were seen form this hill. MJ fist pumped as he said "See that beauty! That there is Miserus City! My crews over there so let's kick some booty!"

Connor laughed out loud and said "This guy is hilarious! Come on kids! Lets Rocket!"

We ran towards the town with a jolly grin on our faces, soon enough, we reached the fair entrance gate. The sign was colored very brightly as it read 'WELCOME' Connor removed his shades and said "Well I'll be damned, this place isn't half bad."

The place was pretty good looking filled with rides, food stands and booths but no one was there. I scratched my head and said "Hey MJ, why isn't anyone there?"

He laughed and said "Come on little dude, its open but people only want to see it when the night is dark. All the lights and sparkles shine like diamonds when the lights are turned on by good old Mark."

"Mark?" I questioned, "Is he Mark Styles? Green haired guy who always has a phone to his face?"

MJ nodded and scratched his hair as he said "Yeah that's Mark, he decided to try and make a concert that would be for charity, other than that his friend Raina also helps around for the sanctity."

Okay now I know that's Raina, she was always with Mark. So those two were the ones making this concert. Mark was a great guy but he was always on his phone, he always helps around and his main cause for travel is so that he can make money for an orphanage. Raina was pretty awesome too since she always helps Mark and she enjoys helping others.

MJ gestured to us and said "Follow me to the stage, maybe there we can know how to have fun and play."

He skipped forward while Connor chuckled and said "Still so amusing,"

We both nodded amused as we ran after MJ, we ran through all different kinds of stands, barbeque, cotton candy, coffee, ice cream. We also saw some people early in the fair playing some games, there were some people playing the bottle game, a dart game, a water gun game and many more. MJ led us to a large stage in the middle of the fair, on the stage, there were around ten to twelve people dancing and practicing with their Pokemon while some people stood around and watched. MJ ran to the stage as we did as he said "Hey guys! Found some extra help, so be friendly and be yourself."

The group consisted of different people, there were some girls, guys and they all looked different. Some had white skin some had dark and they were all dressed in some cool looking clothes as they grinned at us and said "We're the Magmicolos!"

Connor grinned at them and said "Hello, my name is Connor!"

Liz smiled as she said "My names Liz!"

"Dan," I said, "Why are you called the Magmicolos?"

A girl with long black hair and pale skin who wore a half cut shirt that stopped above her belly button and a pair of baggy jeans stepped forward as she said "We're called the Magmicolos since we dance with the awesomeness of a Ludicolo and a fieriness of a Magmortar! Names Angelina, leader of this little family."

MJ hopped on the stage and said "Hey Angie, where good old Mark? We need to ask him on how these guys can help?"

Suddenly a guy with green hair appeared form behind the stage and he had a phone to his ear. He had a scowl on his face as he said "What! We need music here! You can't just- NO! It's for charity! It's to help people you ass! Know what forget it! Go have a plate of go fuck yourself!"

He shut his flip phone and said "Uhh, sorry guys I didn't know you heard that."

Angie waved her hands and said "No problem Mark, I know its stressful. So what happened?"

He slipped his phone in his pocket as he said "You know about the band I called? Rock Wreckers? They cancelled for a gig with pay, I can't believe this! They said yes and the concert is tonight! Do they even care about charity?"

I raised a brow as MJ said "What now? No music means no dancing?"

Everyone was quiet and solemn until Liz's face brightened up as did mine, we probably had the same idea as she said "Oh I know!"

"What girl?" said a crew member,

She pointed at Connor and said "Connor can play! He can sing too! He's not half bad either!"

Connor laughed nervously and said "Liz don't be silly! That band was professional! I'm only an amateur who knows how to play."

MJ threw him a plugged electric guitar and said "Prove it buddy? Come on we need a hand here."

He sighed and said "Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you."

Animus and Arthus chuckled as Connor started to strum the guitar like a pro and he shredded the strings and made a really awesome tune. The crew nodded their heads with the beat as Connor tapped his foot on the ground and in one final swing he made a lasting tune.

Connor shrugged and said "See?"

Angelina raised her hands up and said "Now way dude! You were rockin! Way better than those selfish dudes."

Everyone else nodded in agreement as Mark grinned and said "Maybe the show can still be saved! Connor can you play for us?"

Connor raised his brows and eventually sighed in defeat as he said "What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't. Alright I'm in, tell me what to do."

MJ cheered along with his crew and said "Awesome bro! Now you just have to learn how to dance a bit."

"Wait what?" stuttered Connor,

He was then dragged away by MJ and Angelina who were followed by the rest of her crew and Connor's two partners. Mark chuckled and said "Those guys are awesome; they decided to do this for free you know? The money Sky gave me was a lot but the orphanage needs more so I hope to make some more here."

Liz raised a brow and said "Why do you help an orphanage so much?"

"Easy," he replied, "I grew up and lived there"

Mark was an orphan? I nodded solemnly and said "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to-"

He grinned and said "Don't worry about it, I had a family there, not like my non existent parents. So you two want to help right?"

Liz and I glanced at each other and nodded as Mark said "Awesome, you know Raina right? My friend? She is somewhere in town, find her and she'll ask you to help distribute fliers. That's the best you can do for now."

We nodded as Mark said "Thanks guys, have fun! Show starts at eight along with the fireworks but fair is open at all times."

Liz and I walked away as we heard Connor yell for some reason.

Connor's POV

MJ and Angelina dragged me behind the stage where their crew smiled at me as she said "Alright guys! Let's give a big hand to Connor here for volunteering to play our music!"

The crew clapped and cheered as I heard one person say "You're hot!"

I chuckled as I nodded in thanks and said "Welcome, so what can I do to help?"

Angelina grinned as MJ said "You look like a regular teenager too soon, but we need to dress you up with a boom!"

They started picking costumes for we while Angelina said "Okay guys, start dancing and do the routine!"

The dancers nodded as they started to practice their routine. MJ picked some clothes for me that ranged to dark and spiky to frilly and pink. I just laughed as he was indecisive about on what I should wear, I just poked him and said "Hey MJ, why not just make me wear a combination of dark, punk and rock? That looks good."

He snapped and said "Dang man! That's some great stuff! Maybe you should do this fluff."

I just laughed with him as a scream was heard; we turned and saw a guy on the ground clutching his leg painfully. I cringed a bit as I saw a bit of flesh sticking out. He groaned in pain as Angelina permitted first aid and said "Are you okay Travis? This is just going all wrong!"

MJ and I stepped forward as Travis was helped on a seat by his crew mates and he said "Sorry guys, I didn't make the jump."

They didn't look angry as they gave him pats on the back and I said "So now you're missing a dancer? Anything I can do?"

Angelina smiled at me and said "Can you dance?"

I shrugged and said "Does ballroom count? Other than that I don't know, I can learn fast. Dan and Liz want me to help so I will."

She clapped her hand as Travis, MJ and everyone grinned. I shrugged and said "So what do I do?"

She nodded at MJ and said "Basics first, Travis was an important member of this routine so first of we need to you to take your shirt off."

For the third time I said "Wait what?"

She rolled her eyes and said "You aren't going to dance like that! Your vest will bet in the way and your shirt is too baggy."

I removed my shirt and into my undershirt as Animus and Arthus laughed out loud while everyone else gave me some knowing stares. I tilted my head and said "What?"

MJ pointed at me and said "Dude! You're built!"

I looked down and my body was just regularly trained from my routine. 300 one eighty degree sit ups, 200 pushups, 250 sit ups, 150 handups and 500 bench press. Honestly I grew up with it as my routine and I could easily lift myself and anyone else. I stretched my muscled arms and said "Well then, let's begin!"

Liz's POV

Dan and I walked the town in search of Raina. For a town that was called Miserus City, it didn't seem too miserable; it was happy and filled with life. Business was buzzing and the people enjoyed themselves.

Dan yawned and said "Where is she? It's been an hour!"

I rolled my eyes and said "Relax Grapehead, we'll see her in a bit probably."

"I don't really like waiting, maybe I should go have a battle with someone." Said the young trainer,

I punched his shoulder and said "You battled three trainers and won, inst that enough?"

"Nonsense! There's always time for battling! Speaking of which check that out!"

Jordan and Luke hopped over to where Dan pointed and we saw an Arcanine evading a blast after blast of water from a trigger happy Milotic. The water type blasted a torrent of water over and over again but the Arcanine was too fast and dodged. We were so focused on the battle that we didn't see who were the trainers, the Arcanine was being commanded by a girl with squinted eyes and light skin while the Milotic was being commanded by an older girl with copper skin and blazing red hair.

Dan grinned and said "Hey its Raina and Quincy! I guess Growlithe evolved then."

I squealed and said "Wow that Milotic looks awesome!"

Raina commanded Arcanine to dodge and said "Wild Charge!"

The fire type surged forth as its body crackled in electricity but Quincy smirked and said "Oceana Aqua Tail!"

The Milotic slapped the Arcanine in the face with her tail and knocked it aside. The fire type got back up as Quincy said "Now Oceana! Hydro Pump!"

Oceana fired a powerful surge of water towards Arcanine but Raina grinned and said "Overheat!"

Arcanine glowed a powerful shade of red as he fired a torrent of red hot flames at the water type attack. The two attacks connected and a thick mist of steam coated the area. Quincy gave her a smile and said "You got guts kid, I'll give you that."

"Thanks lady!" said Raina, "I guess my Arcanine got stronger after evolving! Thunder Fang!"

The fire type lunged at the Milotic but Quincy shook her head and said "Sorry girl, its time to end this. Oceana Wrap and then finish with a throw!"

The Milotic came to meet the fire type and before it could sink its fangs on the water type, the Pokemon twisted and coiled around the fire type and threw it against the wall. The Arcanine had swirls in its eyes as Quincy grinned at her Pokemon.

Raina returned her Pokemon and said "Nice one lady! I lost that bad huh?"

Quincy returned her Pokemon and said "You did well its just that I did better."

Dan and I ran to them and said "Quincy! Raina!"

The two girls looked at us and smiles grew on their faces. Raina waved to me and said "Liz! Dan!"

Quincy cracked a small smile as she crossed her arms. We stopped in front of her as Raina swept her hair and said "What brings you guys here?"

"We're here to help, Mark said to find you if you needed a hand."

She grinned and said "Awesome! So did the band come by yet?"

Dan and I gave each other nervous looks as I said "They didn't show so Mark made Connor play."

Quincy raised a brow and said "Shades will play? That's great if you want a burn down."

We laughed a bit as Raina said "So you guys want to help right? Its about two hours till the fair so take these filers and post them anywhere you can alright? Head back soon I want to go check out what Marks up to."

She walked away after she handed us a pack of fliers form her bag as Quincy wrinkled her nose, I stepped next to her and said "Hey Quincy you heading to the fair later?"

She froze a bit and said "Maybe, I don't really know."

Dan and Jordan hopped a bit and said "Come on! It'll be fun! Connor will be there and I'm sure he'll be glad to see you!"

Her face turned a bit red as she said "He will? Well I was planning on going to Darkus Mountain but fine. What time does this concert start?"

Dan swayed like a kid and said "Around eight or nine? We'll be busy by then for now so want to go with us? You know having an extra hand wouldn't hurt."

Quincy combed her red hair down and said "Okay, where do we start?"

Dan held the fliers and said "Around anywhere would do. First of we need to post these things and give them away."

Quincy and I nodded as we got to work.

-uninteresting line break—

I wiped the sweat off my forehead as Dan hung up the last flier. It was now 7pm, only an hour left before the concert. We would have been finished earlier if Dan and Quincy haven't have had so many double battles but I guess they were just killing time.

Quincy nodded at me and said "I'll just head back to the center. Meet you both at the carnival."

She walked away as Dan came up to me and said "Where's she going?"

I shrugged and said "The Center, hopefully she doesn't bail."

Dan stretched his arms while Jordan and Luke shook hands on a job well done. My purple haired friend cracked his knuckles and said "All done here, want to head on down? I'll show you around."

I nodded and said "I'd like that."

He held out his arm in a gentlemanly way as he winked at me and said "Connor taught me this one a few days ago."

I slipped my arm under his and blushed a bit as he laughed and we proceeded to the fair. We came to a stop at the long line entrance but at the entrance, Raina who was wearing her manger clothes waved at us and gestured for us to come forward. Dan and I walked past everyone who gave us a bit of glares but we didn't mind it, Raina grinned at us slyly and said "Welcome guys! I see you're all done then come on right in, the entrance was 10 bucks but since you helped it's on the house."

Dan smiled widely and said "Thanks! There's another person coming with us. Remember Quincy right? She's on her way here too."

Raina clapped her hands and said "Cool! More the merrier! Have fun around guys and enjoy your date."

Dan and I blushed while Jordan and Luke laughed out loud. He stuttered and said "J-Just friends!"

Raina rolled her eyes as we proceeded into the fair. The fair was pretty cool looking with all the lights and people. There were kids with Pokemon and their parents, young couples, groups if friends and even wandering Pokemon. Dan pointed at an attraction and said "We have an hour to kill so lets go on that one!"

I eagerly followed Dan while Jordan and Luke ran after us. We came to a stop in front of a game where we were supposed to shoot the targets and pop the balloons. The guy led Dan and me to a station and said "One minute on the clock kids! Ready set go!"

Dan and I started shooting while Jordan cheered for us while Luke sat down and started to snore. I was leading by about a few seconds but by the end Dan had popped the balloon first and won. He cheered and said "Heck Yeah!"

Dan and I exited the attraction while I spotted a stand that sold some pink candy that Stanley called Candy Floss. Dan noticed my gaze and said "haven't had any of that have ya Liz? Come on then princess."

I followed Dan to the stand and the man said "How many would you like boy?"

Dan gave him a ten and said "I'll take three, one for me, one for my friend and one for my Pokemon."

The man obliged and gave us the candy and said "Thank you! Come again kids!"

I held the pink candy and starred at it as Dan bit of a large chunk and chewed it happily. I saw Jordan eat a piece rapidly while Luke at a regular speed. I unknowingly raised my brow as Dan took another bite and said "Come on Liz! Try it!"

I took a bite and chewed the sweet tasting candy in my mouth as it melted. I smiled at its taste and took another bite as Dan laughed out loud and soon enough all the candy was gone. I smiled at Dan who gave a laugh as did his two Pokemon.

"What?" I inquired,

He just shook his head amusingly and his gloved hand leaned in. I could only blush and gaze into his brown orbs as he wiped his thumb across the side of my cheek and said "Got some there Liz."

We looked at each other's eyes for a few seconds until Jordan coughed in his hand. Dana and I looked at him while Luke kicked him hard in the behind yelling about something.

I turned away from Dan with my cheeks red and said "How about that Roller Coaster huh?"

Dan grinned as he led the way.

Quincy's POV

I walked up near to the line with my fully healed Pokemon in my belt. If your life was like mine, you'd need it always ready. I stood behind the line until the girl I had bettled with, Raina, walked up to me and said "Hi! Quincy right? Come on here, you can cut in line."

I raised a brow and followed her as she guided me past the gate and said "The concert starts in an hour, have fun for now!"

As a person of solitude, I wasn't really one for festivals especially since he brought me to Maiden's Peak. I regret all that happened with us and I just want to forget. I just strolled around, grinned at the people who passed by and admired the lights and designs.

The moment I saw a little girl crying I wanted to help but her parents got to her with a Eevee and I could just watch her smile and take away laughing. My childhood was once like that but now I had to be my own person, for my sake.

I saw Dan and Liz on a bench eating some cotton candy but I didn't dare interrupt them when they were frozen in place as they looked at each other's eyes. Don't get me wrong I'm not the romantic type but honestly I found it kind of cute and the hole in my heart started to ache. I silently cursed him for doing this to me and I growled in rage as I remembered his face and fedora.

I swept my red hair as I sat down on a chair on the burger stall and said "One burger please, hold the pickles, double the cheese."

The man jotted down my order and walked away and I skimmed through my phone and saw one text form my dad and immediately replied. I sighed as I looked at the picture of me, my dad and my…mom.

I sighed once more and rested my chin on my palm but then someone familiar sat beside me and said in a English accent "I'll have a soda if you please."

I turned to my right and saw Connor with his shades on the neck of his shirt and he looked a bit tired and sweaty but he looked fine. He looked at me as his blue eyes widened and said "Stonecold! Glad you can make it, didn't expect to see you here."

I remained blank as I said "Didn't expect you here either, what brings you here?"

He leaned back a bit and said "With Dan and Liz as usual but I decided to give a helping hand here."

"How?" I inquired,

He wagged a finger at me and said "Wait till the concert Stonecold, you'll see."

I rolled my eyes and thought "Why did I even go here?"

I watched as Connor eagerly sipped his drink and burp in his hand. I looked at the screen and it said that the concert was in a short period of time. I nodded and muttered "Right, the concert."

Connor was silent as I finished up my burger and I got up to walk out until Connor caught up with me by putting his hand on my shoulder and said "Where are you headed?"

"Anywhere," I muttered

He scoffed and said "A lady shouldn't just wander around on her own even if it's you. Maybe we should go around together, as friends I mean. Unless of course you're trying to be an killjoy."

I gave him a glare and said "What do you mean by that!?"

He gave me a shrug and slyly said "I guess you're just trying to be a fun stopper."

I grabbed him by the hand and said "I'll show you! I know how to have fun!"

My body dragged him to a game stand but my mind kept shouting "He's tricking you!"

I shook my head and was just bent on proving him wrong, the game stand was where you're supposed to throw darts at balloons. Connor smirked at me and said "I bet I could pop more of these than you. To make it interesting, whoever wins gets one favor from the other. Deal?"

I gave him a sideways glance as I slammed a twenty on the counter and said "You're on!"

The booth watch gave each of us twenty darts and Connor let me go first. Throw after throw I popped almost everything except two so all in all I got a nineteen out of twenty. Connor applauded as some people came to watch. I ran a hand through my hair and said "Beat that Shades!"

He wrinkled his nose and said "I accept your challenge."

He picked up a dart and threw it 100% accurately at the first then the second and he kept hitting them like a machine gun but at number twelve he missed by a little and now he was down to his last dart and if he missed this, I would win. Connor held the dart to his eye, narrowed his eyes as the small group of people including me held their breaths as Connor flipped it like a knife in his hand and threw it at a red balloon looming at the far side of the board. The dart hit its mark and the balloon popped, Connor gave me a victorious smirk as my shoulders slumped in defeat.

I gave him an annoyed look as he bowed at me and said "Well Stonecold, looks like win."

I crossed my arms as he rubbed his right wrist and I saw something glitter from underneath but I rolled it off and said "So what now?"

He was about to speak when the guy holding the booth walked up to us and said "You two got more than fifteen right? Here you go, twp free ride tickets to any ride in the fair, have fun!"

I held the blue ticket in my hands as Connor smirked at me and said "Just one simple favor, ride with me on the Ferris Wheel. Simple as that."

My blue eyes shot him a look as I said "Fine but you better not try anything."

"Wouldn't dream of it," he replied. "Lets go!"

Soon enough we were in line for the Ferris Wheel and we saw the countdown for the concert and it was thirty minutes left. Connor flicked his hair and said "We're next."

The operator guided us to our seats and said "Feet and arms inside the gondola, no shaking or violent movements and have fun you two, you look like a good couple."

Connor and my eyes widened as we openly denied "No were not!"

"Right," replied the woman sarcastically, "And I own a Reshiram."

I saw Connor flinch a bit the woman locked us in and I just leaned back as the ride started to move. Connor removed his shades and grinned like a child as I saw the city and the lights of the carnival, in short, it was beautiful the lights were dazzling, the designs were breathtaking and the height seemed to help us admire the entire image.

The ride went of and on until we stopped abruptly for some reason. Connor and I looked down and I spotted the technician tinkering with the controls. I sighed as Connor leaned back and said "We might be here a while, hope I'm not late. So how's it going?"

I rolled my eyes and said "Nothing, just stuck with an idiot."

Suddenly the sky crackled with lightning and I yelped and flinched as I closed my eyes, I felt a small chuckle as I opened my eyes and I came face to face with Connor and his sapphire blue eyes. He gave me a small smile and said "Are you…afraid of a little lightning?"

I shoved away from with my face a little hot and said "NO! I just got surprised and I wouldn't even be here stuck if I hadn't taken that stupid bet with you and your annoying good boy attitude! This is why I don't like you! You act so gentlemanly and nice that you remind me of him!"

His face turned blank as he said "That's not very nice, I never did anything to you anyway. You should give people a chance like I do."

"You trust to easily," I stated,

"You don't trust others enough," he snapped back,

I was surprised how he returned especially on how he really is often; he sighed and said "Look, I don't like arguing with you. You're a good trainer, smart, tough and even pretty but you should relax a bit, spend some time with friends to loosen up."

I crossed my arms as I looked out into the sky and said "I don't have friends,"

"Oh," he replied. I sighed inwardly as he processed what I said. I had no friends, if anyone's life was like mine they would understand.

He looked up to the sky as well and said "How about Dan and Liz, you seem friendly to them."

My face softened as I looked at him and said "There is a difference between friendliness and friends Shades. Last time I had a friend he just turned away from me.. Now all I have as friends are my Pokemon."

He looked at me in the eye too and said "I know how you feel, I was like that as well and I lost a dear friend of mine and all I had left were my Pokemon but when I got my friends back home, Cassie and Malcolm, I turned into a better person. Believe me Stonecold, in a world like this, you'll need friends."

"What are you implying?" I inquired.

He extended his hand and said "I'm implying that we can be your friends, I can be your friend if you gave me a chance."

I watched him hold out his hands as he gave me an assuring smile while his blue eyes sparkled in the light of the moon. I knew he was right, I needed friends, and I can tell Connor, Dan and Liz are different, not like him or her.

I took his hand and shook it as he said "Friends?"

"Acquaintances," I replied,

"It's a start," he replied, "Look, the rides moving and we can get to the stage with a few minutes to spare."

-Teeny Weenie Line Break—

We stopped in front of the counter as Raina saw us and said "Oh! Connor! You're needed! Get in there! Quincy, Dan and Liz are in there too, you can find them near the Special Area."

Connor winked at me as he zoomed behind the stage and I walked around the area until I saw Dan and Liz with two large Pokemon beside them, one was Animus and the second was a black and blue Zoroark that eyed me slowly. I approached them and Liz said "Hey Quincy!"

I nodded at them and said "Hey guys, Animus, Jordan, Luke, who's this?"

Jordan and the little Riolu wave at me while Animus gave me a nod and Dan said "That's Arthus, Animus' brother and Connor's Pokemon."

The Pokemon raised a claw at me as I felt a great power, a similar power, radiate form him like from Animus. Dan smiled as he said "So where've ya been? We waited for you actually."

I held back a bit since I didn't want them to think anything was going on between Connor and me but Liz stepped in and said "Dan that's none of our business you know! Back off!"

He stepped back as he grinned at her and said "Fine, but I think it's starting."

I stood on my toes as I peeked behind me and saw a large amount of people who were waiting to watch the performance. Mark, the green haired guy, was in a black jacket and jeans as he waved to the crowd and said "Welcome one welcome all to the Miserus City Carnival Charity Concert! We will have three songs tonight form a now so known singer but I know he'll be a knockout!"

The crowd erupted in cheers as Dan and Liz clapped eagerly. Mark grinned and said "I would like to thank Raina Chang for being the assistant for this concert and I'd like to thank the Magmicolos for being the dancers and supports here!"

The crowd cheered once more as Mark raised his hand and said "Are you ready!"

The crowd cheered as Mark said "ARE YOU READY!?"

The crowd cheered louder as the green haired boy snickered and said "Without further ado, welcome our lead player and singer Norrow Ratonis and the Magmicolos!"

Six male dancers in hip hop clothes and six female dancers in hip hop clothes appeared out of the stage and went into positions. The stage floor opened as three figures appeared, one was a drum set with a drummer and a base player with a green base and several backup singers in a line appeared and mist appeared as a figure raised from the platform and the unseen figure said in a familiar voice "I would like to thank you all for coming and lets begin!" AN: Songs are not mine! No way no how! Green Day and Simple Plan owns these!

The mist cleared after the main singer strummed his guitar and I saw his face, it was Connor! He was the lead singer? He started to strum and play as the drummer played the beat and the backup singers readied. He was dressed in a whole other attire of black, chains, silver and dark as he was completely shielded from his identity. I looked at Dan who said "Yup, that's Connor."

The crowd cheered as he started singing.

There's a trouble in the air
A rumble in the streets
A going out of business sale
And a race to bankruptcy
It's not one to 99, it's 99 to one
A common cause and a call to arms

For the health of our daughters and our sons

It's 99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight

There's a rat in the company
A bail out on easy street
How the fuck did the working stiff (whoa, oh)
Become so obsolete?

Hit the lights and bang the drum
And let your flag unfold
Cause history will prove itself
In the halls of justice and lost souls

It's 99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight

We live in troubled times
From the ghettos to an empty suburban home
We live in troubled times
And I'm 99 percent sure that something's wrong
It's all wrong

It's 99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight
99 revolutions tonight

99 to 1
To one
Oooo, yow!

Connor ended it in one final swipe and the crowd went nuts. I clapped along with the two kids while Connor winked at us and started to play another song.

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (...)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (...)

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I applauded once again completely awed by the performance of the dancers and Connor. He sang with confidence and the dancers were really great too. Dan fist pumped and said "That was awesome!"

I nodded in agreement as Liz clapped and said "There's one last song! And then the fireworks!"

Mark was on stage and this time he said "Amazing performance but the final number is a dance number by the Magmicolos and the lead singer! Lets give them a hand!"

Connor handed his guitar to a substitute player as he went in front of the group and the music started playing.

Jump!

The group jumped in the air as the beat started. The crew started to go into formation as the first verse started.

I dont wanna wake up today
Cause everyday's the same
And I'd been waiting so long
For things to change
I'm sick of this town
Sick of my job
Sick of my friends 'cause everyone's jaded
Sick of this place, I wanna break free
I'm so frustrated, I just wanna

Connor started to do some movements while the others followed him and a guy in a green shirt ran and flipped in the air and landed on the ground as the song said:

Jump! (Jump!)

Don't wanna think about tomorrow (Jump!)
I just don't care tonight
I just wanna jump (Jump!)
Don't wanna think about my sorrow
Let's go
Forget your problems
I just wanna jump

Connor started doing a circular movement on the ground as he spun around on his hands. I never knew he was a dancer. The others did their own movements but my eyes were glued to Connor.

I don't wanna wake up one day
And find out it's too late
To do all the things I wanna do
So I'm gonna pack up my bags
I'm never coming back
'Cause the years are passing by
And I'm wasting all my ti-ti-time
Sick of this house
Sick of being broke
Sick of this town, that's bringing me down
I'm sick of this place, I wanna break free,
I'm so frustrated, I just wanna jump

Jump! (Jump!)
Don't wanna think about tomorrow (Jump!)
I just don't care tonight,
I just wanna jump (Jump!)
Don't wanna think about my sorrow
Let's go
Forget your problems
I just wanna jump
I just wanna jump

The group stopped and bowed their heads as they silently stayed on the ground and surrounded one girl.

I can't take it anymore[x3]

Suddenly, the crowd gasped as they threw the girl in the air and caught her as four boys, including Connor started to dance and do several flips in the air.

Forget tomorrow, I just wanna jump (Jump!)
Don't wanna think about tomorrow (Jump!)
I just don't care tonight,
I just wanna jump (Jump!)
Don't wanna think about my sorrow
Let's go
Forget your problems
It's time to let them go
Forget tomorrow, I just wanna jump (Jump!)

I just wanna jump

The group stopped in a final pose as rockets shot into the air and exploded into colorful shapes and designs. One was a pink Cateripe, one was a blue Squirtle and other Pokemon while some were just plain explosions. Mark announced on the mike "Thank you all for coming and good night!"

Connor disappeared behind the stage as Liz and Dan ran after him with his Pokemon. His songs were meaningful and he was nice, maybe he was right. I walked after them and muttered "Great show my friend."

Roy: Sorry this took so long! Blame Jake!

Jake: No fair!

Roy: Bleh, so this was all just filler. Connor and Quincy are now friends and next chapter will be Lavender Town and the contest!

Jake: He'll write that next one so please review!
