Pokѐmon Journey II: Gwyn's Passage

by Halloween Witch

It's been three years since the disbandment of Team Rocket and Gwyn Jalen is beginning her pokemon journey as well in the Johto region. Things seem normal until she encounters a red haired boy gazing into Professor Elm's laboratory and a young woman who seems like she could kick everyone's asses. And is it fight or flight when an old enemy of the young woman's come into play?

2. Training Day

Pokѐmon Journey II: Gwyn's Passage

Chapter 2: Training Day

Gwyn's Point of View:

The morning soon came and I stretched when I felt the sun hit my face through my window. I carefully lifted my body and looked down at my still sleeping pokemon. Cynder was still nestled deeply into my side and refused to wake up, even with the sun upon her body. I shook her gently as to not startle her awake and she tilted her head back at me tiredly.

"Come on you sweet little misfit, breakfast time." She tiredly rolled over and curled back into bed, the spot where she'd been sleeping where my warmth was still spread. I shook my head at her. "Fine, I'll go make us breakfast, but if your not up in a bit, I'm going to take you out of here by force and head out." She promptly sighed and went back to sleep while I laughed at her, shaking my head in disbelief.

"Alright then…" I stood up from my bed and changed out of my bed clothes and into my trainer clothes before heading downstairs to greet an empty kitchen. I blinked at the scene in shock; my mother was always practically in here, or the living room, what reason did she have to leave so early? It was so out of tradition at our home.

I walked into the kitchen and started to get some things out to eat when I noticed that there were pancakes for both Cynder and myself, pecha berry flavored. There was also a note next to them which I picked up to read while pouring syrup on my pancakes.

Dear Gwyn,

I'm sorry I had to leave so suddenly honey, but something came up that needed me to leave home. I made you breakfast and there's a lunch and dinner packed for you in the fridge for both you and Cynder so hopefully you two don't have to buy any food for at least today, other then drinks.

Oh, and Aaron told me to tell you that he was planning on sleeping in a bit with his pokemon before training with them on route thirty, and to not wait up for him. He said he'd meet you in Violet City by tomorrow at the latest.

I hope you and Cynder have a wonderful time, be careful and give me a call every now and then. If you want me to keep your money safe, just left me know and I'll have you transfer it to me every now and then.

Good luck Honey!

Mom

I was already a quarter of the way through my breakfast when I finished the note. "I guess this will give Cynder and I some time on our own to practice by ourselves and get more time then Aaron if he plans to sleep in." I snickered to myself. "Sounds like fun."

I soon heard the little pitter patter of feet above and watched as my little misfit walked down the stairs and jumped up into my lap. She curled up there, still slightly tired. She yawned once she made it to me and tried to fall back asleep.

"Hey! Don't fall back asleep Cynder! We're gonna go out and train!" The pokemon didn't seem to move much at my words. I rolled my eyes. "Well… if you really want to sleep more I guess I get to eat your pecha berry pancakes that my mom left for you."

I suddenly felt my lap was empty…

I laughed as my little fire type misfit climbed up onto the table with an alertness I didn't know she had and she munched away at her pancakes. I took only a moment to shake my head and eat my own before I placed our dishes in the sink to soak and gathered my things for our training day and our short journey to Violet City. I sighed and stretched before I stood and felt a weight on my shoulder, Cynder, with a mouth covered in syrup, hung over my shoulder, still wobbly from waking up recently. She certainly wasn't an earlier riser.

"Cynder! You're going to get a mess all over me!" I chided her and quickly grabbed a dampened rag and whipped her mouth before syrup could fall upon my clothing. She seemed not to care as I whipped the syrup away, all she did was curl into my shoulder and try to fall back asleep, but not before she fell forward into my arms.

"Hang on Hon; I'll carry you in a second." With all my items in my bag or pockets, I quickly put our lunches into my bag and closed it up before taking my fire type into my arms. I left a note to match my mother's that she'd left me to tell her when I'd left and how to reach me should she feel the desire or the if she needed to. I then shifted my little misfit of a fire type in my arms before I stepped out the door with her, helping her curl in my jacket to keep warm with the strong breeze from my home town kicking in.

The smell of burning wood carried lightly on the wind, colder weather was settling in and soon snow would entirely cover the region in a thick blanket, a couple of the only places being spare would probably be Cianwood City and Azalea Town. Johto was a much hardier region then Kanto was, it had many mountains and thick woods, it was always cold here and rarely got much above the temperature of seventy, with the exception of those towns I listed a moment ago which got weather like our sister region Kanto did.

When it becomes winter here, it can be pretty harsh, which is why I'm thankful I live in a section of the region where it's a bit warmer then the icy areas north that always seemed to have frost on their grass and trees for at least three of the seasons during the entire year, and that's most of it if I remember correctly. Though winter has been a little harder on my mother and I for the past few years with it only being the two of us around the house now, and now it's being limited even further to one. It made me guilty that she'd be all alone now after what's taken place, but she wouldn't want me to stick around forever.

Thinking upon these kinds of memories of the cold and isolation, loneliness, it made me hurry to grasp the golden locket that hung gently around my neck that I'd almost forgotten yesterday when I'd left, and now I was grateful to have come back so I could have it now rather then later. The locket was a present from my father, one that was supposed to be given to me when I started my journey, but three years ago, he vanished without a trace. My mother then decided she would give me my locket earlier then planned, just to give me some comfort with his disappearance. I missed him terribly…

It almost reminds me of the story of what happened to Champion Violet Vilmos' father, Haze Vilmos. He also disappeared for a while before Violet started her journey. It gave me hope that like her father, mine was just hiding away, or is trapped somewhere and waiting for rescue. I preyed daily for his return, his safety, and for him to just be alive so he can come back. But as the years slowly passed by, my hopes had nearly depleted, only a small sliver of hope remained in my heart, which was only solemn wishing for the likelihood that one day he'd return home.

I shook my head and pressed the thoughts away, thinking of my missing father wouldn't help me becoming a powerful trainer, and my father wouldn't want me to dwell on him, getting in the way of my dream. I sighed and felt the weight overtake my body as I trudged on out of my hometown and into the woods on route twenty-nine.

"Let's go Cynder! Ember!" My fire type was wide awake now, as she had been for the past many hours we'd spent training over the past couple routes. We'd been well at training and now it's too the point where Cynder had little to no trouble at all with the pokemon here, taking them out in a hit or two only. Bug pokemon fled when they saw us and to keep them from being afraid of us forever, we didn't challenge them anymore.

Cynder was really starting to enjoy all the battling, she loved moving about and spouting fire here and there, I'm sure she'd be even more excited in the future when she'd learn more powerful fire type moves, or any type of move that would asset her in battle.

The pidgey that we were facing was hit by the fire that spouted from Cynder's mouth and cried out in pain before it hurried off back its nest in the tree. It began to lick away its wounds and stared at us. Cynder shook her head and turned back to me before jumping up onto my shoulder.

"Cynda!" She laughed at the pidgey in the tree and it suddenly screeched. The next thing I knew, a large flock of pidgeys and angrily woken hoothoots were up in the air and speeding down at us.

My eyes widened and I pulled Cynder into my arms. "Well… you've really done it now Cynder…"

"Quil…" my pokemon rubbed the back of her head before the pokemon started to dive at us. I screamed and Cynder cried out before I jumped backward and then booked it into the forest. I dived to the sides as I ran to avoid the bird pokemon that kept trying to tear us limb from limb as we hurried away from them.

"Don't you ever laugh at wild pokemon that can call on flocks again Cynder!" I snapped at my little fire misfit pokemon as my breathing became harsher from the running I was putting in.

Cynder didn't give me a reply as I made my way from route thirty into route thirty-one. I saw one of the mountains come into view and I remembered that there was a cave that lead from here to the north east. I could hid in the entrance since it always was dark until the pokemon pass, those hoothoot are too tired to stick around for long, and then soon after the pidgey would probably leave too when they got tired or saw I wasn't coming out.

I made a dash for the cave entrance near a small pond where I saw a young woman was resting against the rocks with two pokemon with her, curled up into her body. "Hey! Don't sleep there! There's an angry flock of pidgey and hoothoot heading your way!" The woman seemed not to hear me and I put on the breaks to my feet. Man… does she have a death wish? Those pokemon will kill her!

I finally saw the woman tip up her head as the bird pokemon came closer before she put down her head again to resume her nap. I groaned and Cynder cried out, almost falling out of my arms. "Are you serious? Get out of the way! We can hide in the cave!"

I saw the woman sigh and she rose to her feet. The pokemon that had been sleeping on her lap slowly got to its feet while the other remained on the woman's shoulder napping, not taking any notice of the situation.

"You really shouldn't worry so much over small things such as these." I gasped and turned to the woman who stood calmly next to the entrance to the cave. She turned her eyes to look at me while she put the hood of her jacket over her head and her eyes had me captured. They were a liquid, chocolate brown, and a dark chocolate I mean, that just caught me in the moment and I froze from the amazing difference between the white of outer color of her eyes compared to them.

"Cynda!" I snapped out of my daze when Cynder told me to look up at the sky. Before I had, I noticed that the area was much darker, but it had only been sunny a moment ago. I looked up to the clouds and saw black storm clouds rolling in, lighting and thunder crashing in-between them.

"Wh-what's going on?" I looked back at the woman who didn't seem to have moved at all, nor did the weather above concern her. "We don't get thunderstorms in Johto! Not in this part of the region unless its summer! What's happening?"

"Relax, thunder storms, fire storms, ice storms... they're all quite common when I'm in the area." The woman glanced to the side, showing me the bright whites of her eyes. "Amber, get rid of the flock."

Her pokemon that was on the ground, its cheeks sparked and its tail started waving around like a pinwheel. She suddenly threw it into the ground and lighting raced up into the clouds above, from her body, before it charged the clouds even more then they were before and it all came crashing down upon the large flock of bird pokemon that had been chasing after Cynder and I. I heard screeches and screams from the sky above as the birds were hit, but suddenly I was grabbed by the hand and brought forward into the woman's arms. She hid my face and most of my body into her chest, covering my eyes and ears to protect me from the shock wave blast behind us that dropped from the sky. A shock wave passed by us from the attack and I could feel it in the air.

I could feel my heart racing in my head and every inch of my body, but the woman's… her heart, I could barely hear it, but what I did hear was a calm and steady beat. She was entirely relaxed in this moment; her only concern may have been for myself and my pokemon. She refused to release me even as she turned her own head to look back at the flock as well as her pokemon that was asked to deal with them.

She finally allowed me to pull back, but wouldn't give me enough space to look out over her shoulder as past her large jacket to look at the flock. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, sorry about bringing that on you so suddenly." I nodded slowly to her. "Cynder, my cyndaquil, and I were training and we'd beaten one of the pidgey and Cynder laughed at it since it was all bitter at us for beating it, then it screeched and called out an entire flock of more pidgey and hoothoot to attack us, they chased us all the way from route thirty." I tired to calm my quick beating heart, but it started right back up again when I heard the many cries of pokemon from behind the young woman. "Wait," she paused and waited for me to finish. "Those don't sound like angry cries…"

"Hm?" The woman looked back over her shoulder before she finally released me from her tight grip. I finally was able to look back at the pokemon that were escaping from the field and I watched as they had fearful looks on their faces every time they looked back. The pokemon that belonged to the young woman who had shocked them all and scared them off was swinging its tail around and slamming it into the ground, showing off its power and strength to the pokemon who dared to look back at it.

"Nice job Amber." The young woman told her pokemon and it in return looked back at her with a devilish smile before it ran back up to her and jumped into her shoulder. She didn't even flinch when it landed and she took down her hood, letting loose her long, curly hair that seemed a dark brown in color with tips of all ends of her hair, even her bangs that were pulled off to the side, were all colored a neon purple color.

The young woman looked back to me. "You need to be more careful Hon; those pokemon will take a bite out of you if you're either naive or not strong enough."

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time." I lowered my head from her gentle gaze.

I suddenly heard the woman snort and she then burst out laughing. Her pokemon really had to hold on so they didn't fall off her shoulders. Tears strolled down from her eyes to her chin in laugher while I blinked at her in surprise.

"Oh, I needed a good laugh like that to make my day!" She whipped away her tears and took a deep breath as she looked back at me and tried to calm herself down. "So Hon, you got a short while? I'd love to talk with you."

"Talk with me?" I tilted my head in confusion. "About what?"

"Oh… just a few things, and to get to know you better." She gave me a wild grin, showing off her pearly whites beneath her reddish pink lips. "You're very…"

"Very what?"

"Very… extraordinary."

"But there's nothing special about me, and you're the one who sent off that flock."

"Well… I did, but that doesn't mean anything." She grinned and reached into my front pocket, pulling out the card of the young male trainer I'd met yesterday that I hadn't given to the police. "I'd like to know why you kept this and didn't give it to the police."

"Give that back!" I darted forward but the woman quickly leapt out of the way. "Its mine!"

She suddenly then turned a bit serious on me. "Why didn't you give it to the police or give it back to that boy?"

I pouted my lip at her as I continued to try and get it. "Personal reasons!"

"Then let's have a chat, I want to know those reasons since I'm also worried for that boy." She stopped moving and stilled her hands, allowing me to rip the trainer card out of them. She was giving me a worried look as she gazed to the picture of the boy on the card.

"…Do you know him?" Her eyes never left the picture as she sighed and patted her pokemon's head that rested around the back of her neck.

"Yes… here, sit down and we'll talk. It's about lunch time and I have some extra food if you want any." She sat down on the ground and her pokemon jumped off of her to eat, but all three of them waited on me to sit and release my pokemon from my arms. I sighed and did so, giving into the woman's offer.

HalloweenWitchHalloweenWitch

We chatted for a long while, a bit of avoiding the subject about the boy that she was so curious about. I learned from her that her name was Violet; she'd been a trainer for almost four years now and has a brother and boyfriend back in Kanto. Her clothing that she wore to go with her wild hair and pretty hot body for a sixteen year old girl was a black jacket that had lots of black, fluffy warmth inside it that looked a bit old, but it was still holding strong. She had on under it a silky maroon colored spaghetti strap shirt that had a v cut between her breasts and had lavender pokadots all over it with a bit of frill at the bottom of it. Her pants were only a short pair of indigo jean shorts and her legs were covered with a set of black boots that came up to almost her knees. Over her shoulder was a tan bag that she had on her and on her finger was a very beautiful ring that was covered in gem stones that I knew I couldn't name even if I tried.

Her pokemon, other then the ones she had out already didn't want to come out and meet me, so she had to settle with only introducing the others, one of them being Chalcedony, her umbreon with a very calm attitude and an extreme liking to girls, human and pokemon, while he hates most males other then the other male pokemon on her team, her male pokemon at home or her boyfriend. The other one was named Amber, she was a raichu. She was the one who freaked out and just took down that entire flock of bird pokemon that was flying right at me. She didn't tell me much more then that about herself, which probably meant she just didn't want to talk, or maybe some other reason, but whatever the case, I wasn't about to pry in on her life if she didn't want to get to into it, so I left it be.

"So, now that we have introductions and basics out of the way, I'd like to talk at least a little bit about that boy you met, if you don't mind that is." Violet questioned me gently.

"Well, if you don't mind, before that, do you mind telling me a bit more of how you know him and how you saw me keep the card?" I asked her back. "And your not going to tell the police right?"

"No, no, not at all, I figured you had a good reason for doing what you did, but it just intrigued me that you didn't give it to them, or that Tristan didn't want the card back enough for the items he took."

"Tristan? Is that his name?"

"…Yes, poor Tristan had a really rough upbringing so he had to run away from home. The reason why I know him is because I helped him get away, but them something came up and someone mentioned an orphanage to him and he took off, never to be seen again before that day, at least, not by me." She sighed and looked away from me for a moment, looking at the card that she'd asked for a short while ago to confirm his picture. "Tristan is very fragile, after yesterday, I knew he was even more confused and broken inside, but for the most part, he looked happy to have his freedom for the first time in his life."

"That's so sad…" Cynder rubbed her body against my arm and I petted her as she grieved in her own way like I was for the boy. "But what's making him steal? He's stolen Tododile from Professor Elm's lab and a pokedex that Professor Oak gave me to trust with someone of my choosing."

"That I don't really know." She raised her finger to her chin, tapping it gently as she thought, mindlessly rubbing the chin of her dark type that relaxed on her shoulders. He peaked through an eye at us, remotely showing me that he was focusing on the conversation at hand while relaxing with the warmth of his trainer. "I'd have to ask him to find out, but I doubt he'd talk with me anytime soon."

"Why is that?"

"He's afraid that I'd turn him into the police." She looked up at me and handed me back the card. "Hold onto that Hon, don't loose it, one day you'll need to return that to him."

"I will." I took the card in hand and placed it with my own in my bag in my wallet. I paused then as I was putting it in the back of the wallet pockets. "Wait, what about his last name? Do you know what it is Violet?"

"Yes, but I think it might be best to keep that fact hidden until he tells you himself or until you need it." She stretched in her spot and leaned back, careful not to hurt her pokemon that was relaxing on the back of her neck. "So why did you not give Tristan's card to the police?"

"I just… thought I could help him. I thought that the police would only make things worse for him, so I just gave them all the information I had without giving them the card."

She tilted her head and raised one of her brows. "So how many people know you have the card, or pokemon for that matter too?"

"Only you and your pokemon, and Cynder. Oh! And Tristan too, or should I say Silver Vilmos? Since that's what he had written down on the card."

"Vilmos?"

"Yeah, as in Champion Violet Vilmos or gym leader Vincent Vilmos, you know them right? From Kanto?"

She raised both her eyebrows at me in total and utter shock.

"Uh… yeah, I know of them." She clapped her hands once together and let them hang over her knee that rose up before her and she placed her arms on it. "Never met either of them though."

"Well, I didn't really expect that." I shrugged at her. "I mean, Violet's hardly been seen over the past couple years, not since her last battle a while back against that guy, I can't even remember his name right now. And Vincent lives all the way back in Kanto, but he's not quite as famous as his sister, but he does get a lot of public because he's young and hot for a guy at only sixteen, and his partner at the gym doesn't do too bad himself either, Alexander Oak." I snorted a laugh. "But I don't think too many girls would go after him since Violet would burn their butts off!"

Violet snorted a laugh too before she nodded and her laughing came on harder. "Yes! Oh yes she would!"

We laughed for a short while longer before I noticed the time from my pokegear, which showed me it was almost five and it was ringing, Aaron was trying to get a hold of me. Violet quieted right down and looked over at my pokegear and watched me answer it.

"Hello?"

"Gwyn! Where you are you?" Aaron called from on the other side. "I've been waiting here at Violet City's pokemon center for an hour or two now and you've yet to show up!"

"Oh? So you can be late to get up in the morning and then tell my mother to tell me that I can arrive there when ever I want, yet you expect me to be there before five?" My lips curled to one side of my face as I waited on his answer, which I hope he thought over very carefully.

"Uh… no comment?"

"Not quite the answer I was looking for."

"Uh… sorry?"

I sighed. "Close enough; just let me finish up her on the route and I'll meet you over there. Good-bye Aaron." I hung up on him before he could say another word and I looked back over to Violet. "I am so sorry about him, but I gotta go meet him or else he'll freak."

"Don't worry about it Hon, here," she reached into her pocket and pulled out a couple pieces of paper before she took out a pen, signing something on one of the pieces before she handed the pen and the other paper to me. "Write down your number and I'll program it into my pokegear so you can reach me any time you'd like some advice, just like to talk, or if you happen to run into Tristan."

"Oh yeah! Sure!" I easily took the items she handed to me and I wrote down my number on the paper she gave me before I gave them back to her. She then gave me the paper she'd written on and I gave her a grin as I placed it into my pocket and stood up. "Well, it was nice meeting you Violet, thanks for everything, and I'm still really sorry about that flock of pidgey and hoothoot."

She waved it off. "Hon, let it go! I already said it was okay and I've faced much worse." She shook her head before she gave me a look like one I'd seen earlier today, which surprised me, it was that look that captured me in her trance and I had no idea how she did it. "You don't know what a real battle is like yet, but you will…"

She blinked and I felt her control over me for the moment was gone. I nodded to her, saying a final good-bye before I carried Cynder away to meet up with Aaron. Is it just me, or was she hinting to something?

Chalcedony's Point of View:

Our human sister had been shocked by not only hearing of the human boy she'd been chasing after for three years now, but also that when she met this girl, she said there was something off about her. Violet seemed quite taken with her and had us, or she did herself, follow her around to see what she was doing, especially after what she saw happen yesterday with Tristan and her battling. It sparked something in our human sister's eyes that I hadn't seen for a long time.

Our sister led us away to a remote part in the mountains, a slight ways north of where we were a few moments ago with the young girl named Gwyn and her cyndaquil named Cynder. She had refused to release all of us before to prevent us from being found (since two of my eldest sisters, Amethyst and Sapphire, were dead giveaways for our human sister) but now that we were alone, she released everyone so we could have our lunches and talk.

"I am so shocked that she didn't know who I was, have I really changed that much? Is my hair really that much darker?" Our human sister was shocked at the obliviousness of the child she'd met when it came to who she was and putting fame to face with Violet, though she seemed to notice almost every detail of emotion in a person's face, every line meant something to that Gwyn girl, and it was strange, but it seemed to help her out in some spots.

"I know! I mean, how could she, like, not noticed you or know who you were when she saw you?" Amber told her in a rush. "It's so strange! Though it was nice to have a change…"

"I agree, and she was quite nice, she got over being mad at you pretty quick Violet." My human sister looked over at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you sure you didn't get along with her just because she was a pretty young trainer Chalcedony? I know that's what attracted you to me!" My human sister caused me to blush at her comment and I was thankful my fur was so dark that no one could see the red under it on my skin. I huffed at her and turned away, curling into her hood.

"Oh come now, leave Chalcedony alone Violet," Ruby snorted a laugh even as she tried to save me. "Haven't you humiliated him enough for the day?"

"Thanks Ruby, love you too…" Everyone laughed at my embarrassment and I felt Violet stroke my cheek.

"Calm down Chalce, I meant no harm, just a few laughs!" She giggled and released me from her comfy petting fingers. She calmed down and pulled out the number of that girl Gwyn and added it to her device she called pokegear to call other humans with, which didn't have any, again what she called, numbers yet, mind you. "Still, have I really changed that much? I didn't think I have…"

"Not much at all for us to noticed," Amethyst scratched the side of her own chin with a confused look. "You still have the same happy grin I've seen you with since we started our journey. You still have the same laugh and smile."

"Though your physical traits have changed a bit since you were crowned champion with the rest of us," Sapphire said softly, her voice soft like the snow. "Your hair is darker now from your father's genetics, and you've gone and dyed the ends of the hair purple."

"You've also curled it," Ruby threw in. "You're known for your straight hair compared to curly, though I would have thought that people would have still been able to recognize you. Other then your hair and that you've grown into quite the young woman among humans, I don't believe it would be that hard to tell."

"I don't think that Sissy Violet changed at all!" Zircon told her in his now fully evolved form of dragonite that occurred from the three years of training we've had. "You're still just as pretty and nice as the day you adopted me!"

"Thanks Zircon, that's so sweet of you to say." Our dragon type brother curled his head right up against her and she rubbed his large snout. "I wonder though…" she sighed as she thought. "Can she do the impossible and help Tristan?"

"She seems very determined," I told our human sister. "She had my vote; I think she can do it."

"I think so too, there's something a bit off about her that reminds me slightly of you Vi," Amber told her as well. "I think over time she'll crush his composure and get him to open up, or hold him long enough so we can approach him ourselves and try to set things strait."

"I hope so Amber, I really do." She sighed and leaned back against the rock. "You know what guys? I feel like having a nap."

"But Violet!" Ruby argued. "You just had one!"

"Yeah, I know, but I was rudely interrupted from it by a flock of fucken angry bird pokemon who shouldn't have bothered that girl in the first place." She pulled her hood over myself and her head. "Besides, while the sun's still up and warming the air, I want to catch some of those lasting rays before the cold evening hits." All my siblings groaned at her except for Amethyst who curled right up next to our human sister.

"Fine by me, I'm still tired."

I curled back into the warmth of her neck. "And I don't mind staying right where I am and being lazy…"

"Oh you're lazy alright." Ruby shook her head at us before she turned to the others. "Does anyone want to train with me?"

"I'll take you on Ruby!" Amber bound forward for the battle.

"Can I just take a nap with Sissy Violet, Sissy Sapphire?" Zircon questioned Sapphire.

"I have no qualms with that; I'll simply train or watch Ruby and Amber." The icy bird nested into the ground and watched as the steel and bug type pokemon faced off against the electric one. While they battled it out, I felt a sleepy aura fall over me, thinking nothing of it, since this happens so often during the day; I let myself drift to sleep in the comfort and warmth of my siblings.

Third Person Point of View:

Far away in a city to the far nothing, one of the coldest cities in the region that lived south of a large lake and west and east to mountain ranges and icy caves, a secret hideaway was hidden beneath the ground, but still had connections all over the region. It was below this city, its entrance hidden in such a commercial place that no one would dare to look.

We journey now to the depths and the deepest parts of this base where people are running about; checking their operations and not one member down here was flocking about. There was too much work to do and few hands to do it then in the past, even though the operation was growing larger like it had been before, it was still to up to tempo as it had been. The boss of this base was much stricter then her husband had ever been. Compared to three years ago, she was dressed in a white, long skirt and a button up shirt compared to the other members, especially the female, with a medium sized 'R' on her left breast. Unlike three years ago, her hair was released and wild, red as a raging fire with orange highlights to assist the look of flames upon her head. Her boots were black and could be seen going all the way up to her upper legs, nearly at her hips, seen through the large cut in on the side of her long skirt on either side of it that went up to her hips. Her shirt was long all the way around and covered over in a second layer over her skirt, but was slip open to see I triangle of skin below her breasts, and above. Three buttons closing the shirt to keep her covered, but it wasn't like she cared who saw her "unmentionables" so long as she got what she wanted.

This woman was looking over her papers and what not when another woman stepped inside with another male, both seemed to be a bit more high ranking with the individual touches to their clothes, and the woman's was somewhat similar to her boss'.

"We just received news from one of our spies in the Johto police department Ma'am," the woman said. She set down the file before her boss on the desk. "It was about a report on your son."

"My son? That bastard of a brat who dared leave such a wonderful and powerful organization?" the woman rolled her eyes as she looked at the file she was already reading and disregarded the one on her son.

"We thought you would like to know that he's stolen a few important things, including a rare pokemon called tododile and a pokedex from a young girl that was carrying them for Professor Oak of Kanto," the male said. This seemed to intrigue the woman and she closed the file before opening the newest one on her desk, the one about her son.

"Bah!" She threw the file at her workers and they slightly flinched when she did so. "He isn't even worth it! He changed his name to 'Silver Vilmos'! He's still head over heels for that damn brat that ruined us years ago and sent my husband and I packing!"

"We thought you would like to know since your brother wanted to try to bring him back to the organization." The woman glared up at the two of them.

"Razi wants to bring him back in eh?" She threw the file of her son into the trashcan. "Let the fool do what he wants, but I won't be bothered, that brat would have to beg me to get him into this organization again."

"But Ma'am, that pokedex he stole gives out information about nearly all pokemom in the region, if not the world, giving locations and specifics on them, which we're having a hard time with working on right now, having a device like that would greatly help us, even if we only tricked him as to stealing it from him."

This intrigued the woman. "A device such as that really exists?"

"Yes Ma'am, even Violet Vilmos and her two friends have one, ever since the start of their journey. I remember some of the old members talking about how she would point it at some of the rare pokemon we had every now and then and they were confused by it." The male member told her while he handed her another file. "None of the professors that hand out these devices ever keep an extra on hand since they fear it will be stolen, so its only been given to the trainers while their professor's personal notes are locked away. We know of six trainers right now that have this kind of device, Violet Vilmos, Vincent Vilmos, Alexander Oak, Gwyn Jalen, Aaron Verin, and your son, Tristan Agustino." He flipped through the file some more. "Our best options, if I may state that to you Ma'am?" The red haired woman nodded her head and he nodded back before looking at the file. "Our best option would be to hit up one of the new trainers that have this device since they're only beginning trainers, so it's safe to say it would be easy to take such a device from them. From the information we've gathered so far, both your son and Gwyn Jalen only have one pokemon, while Aaron Verin has three."

The woman placed down the file in her hands to think. "More pokemon to face would make for a longer battle and create a mess or us being caught too soon before our plans take off. Plan to attack the girl or my son when seen and get the device from them, or if possible the boy, but try not to fight him unless the battle can be quick."

"We'll get right to it Ma'am." Both of the admins before her saluted the woman before walking out of her room and leaving her once again at peace. She stood up from her desk and walked over to the mirror, upon her smooth and cream colored like skin was a scar that traced all the way from her chin and over her eye to her forehead, the left side of her face had been scared like that since three years ago when she had her last show down with Violet Vilmos and that was her last mark to stay with this woman for her life time.

"You better watch out Violet Vilmos," the woman talked to herself and looked over the old file about the girl she'd collected information about over the years. She then pulled out a new file and placed the picture of Gwyn Jalen inside it. "And yourself now too Gwyn Jalen, I'm going to crush all of you who oppose me."

Witch's Note:

Wow! Here's the next chapter and now that was much longer then I thought it would be! Not bad at all! Though I am a bit concerned about how you guys think how Gywn and Violet met and their conversation, I hope you all tell me what you think. (Especially since Gywn didn't know that Violet was Violet Vilmos! What the hell is up with that? What is wrong with her?)

And oh boy, look who just came back into the picture! We have an old enemy that we're now going to be dealing with and her organization. I don't think I need to tell you her name, cuz I think you all know it by heart now, but I'll say it anyway. The meanest and cruelest woman alive in my story, Rose Agustino! And she now sees Gwyn as an obstacle!

Uh oh… what do you think is going to happen? Well, I better get started on the next chapter, so I'll let you guys go to milk this chapter over and let me know what you think in a Review or PM! And please don't forget to send in Questions for me and the characters! We love to do that!

Love you all and see you next week!
