Im back! And IDK what i'm doing... anyway...I will probably be rewriting the prologue. Just because I have a totally better idea now! LET US BEGIN

I don't own pokemon... just a copy of a couple of their games.

Chapter 9

Rook's POV

"Yes and no." Uxie said. Me and Kiara both exchanged a wide-eyed glance before slowly turning around.

"I blame her!" Kiara said, pointing at me.

"Thanks." I deadpanned. "Wait a minute- Wigglytuff?" The whole guild was standing behind Uxie. There was a illusion of Groudon there too.

"Hi, amazing friend!" Wigglytuff greeted the illusion before turning to us. "Friends!"

"And the rest of the guild, hey hey!" Corphish said cheerily.

"What i'm actually protecting is over there." Uxie said, pointing to a glowing orb in the water. "It's the sole reason i'm here. Looking at it closer, I could see a gear under the water, glowing a green hue. I.. get this feeling of unease from it... why? I thought.

"A time gear is at the bottom of Fogbound Lake." Uxie explained. "I must erase memories to prevent others from telling another that the gear exists here- leading to knowing Fogbound Lake exists, too."

"So are you going to erase our memories?" I asked.

"No." Uxie said. "I have come to trust you and the guild. I am certain you will not tell anyone of the Time Gear here (And because your condition is exceedingly rare.)" He said, leaning towards me. He straightened up. "You will not tell anyone that I reside here guarding the precious treasure- and that it exists?" Uxie asked.

"We promise!" We said.

Montage Summary

Kiara's POV

Apon saying those fateful words, our adventure came to a close. We left Uxie to let him do his duty and we returned to ours. Surprisingly, everyone kept their promises to my pleasure. For us though, the most challenging part was not being able to tell our teammates really what happened. And so life goes on for Team Sky. We went right back to doing our fetch requests and rescue missions the following morning we returned. We even received two new recruits- Areyon the Aerodactyl and Jupiter the Flaaffy. Eventually, Wigglytuff allowed the non-guild members to be told.

One day, a famous explorer came to our guild. Wigglytuff let him in happily, though I got a weird vibe from him. After a while, however, I came to trust him. Azurill and Marill fell for another false Water Float finding... but eventually me and Rook uncovered where it is.

On the Time Gear note... all of us had been lured into a false sense of security, however... that would be easily shattered.

Rook's POV

"This time on Team Sky's adventures..." The author said.

"So you think you can come into OUR territory and defeat US?" The leader of the Luxray tribe sneered. It was the dead of night. Luxray's left eye had a long scar running down it. Me, Kiara, Medusa, and Bubble were surrounded by her tribemates, the Luxio. The electricity generating around us made it impossible to move more than a few steps.

"Please listen!" I yelled over the gathering storm clouds. "We were just looking for a Azurill's lost item- a Water Float! We heard it was up here and we mean no harm-"

"SCILENCE!" The leader hissed. "Enough of your cold lies. I will never be deceived ever again!"

"(Paranoid bastard isn't she?)" Medusa whispered.

"(Medusa.)" I scolded. Lightning truck one of the rocks around us with a sickening crack.

"For trespassing apon our lands, the sentence is death-" Luxray decreed before being cut off. The lightning created light, however a long shadow was cast over Luxray.

"These four are innocent." I looked up to see who was the one who saved us- Dusknoir!

"And he's so special- why?" Stella asked.

"I second that." Medusa said.

"What proof do you have, ghost?" Luxray snarled. "Ive been attacked once and it will never happen again."

"My proof is twofold." Dusknoir said calmly. "First, placed intentionally behind you is the missing item." I could just see the edge of a small blue ring. "And the ones who set up these four..." Dusknoir pointed as us. "Are right behind that rock!" He gestured to a nearby boulder.

"Really now?" Luxray asked, glancing over before striding over to us. As she loomed over me, I only had the courage to squeak. "You WILL begone be the time I am done with these TRESSPASSERS." She growled.

"Yes, m-mam." I said. Luxray led her Luxio over to the boulder, where I heard a squeak of surprise. Dusknoir watched for a moment, then turned to us. Bubble smiled fondly at Dusknoir.

"And I thought fetch requests were boring!" Medusa said happily. "That was AWESOME! Feel free to invite me anytime."

"Uh, yeah, sure." Kiara said, one eyebrow raised.

"Are you alright?" Dusknoir asked.

"Yeah, we're fine-" I said.

"Uh, I don't think you know our names." Kiara said. "I'm Kiara, she's Rook, Medusa's the turquoise rope ball, and Bubble- he's the pink sea creature." Medusa glared at Kiara. By this time they have a strong rivalry. "It is good to see you again Dusknoir."

"Now is not the time to discuss things." Dusknoir said. A 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!' ripped through Dusknoir's sentence. It sounded like Zubat. "We have a steadily shortening time frame." Dusknoir looked down with his one red eye. "I can assume that you are going to Wigglytuff's guild? It would be very rude of me to not give you a lift."

"Wow! Thanks sir!" Bubble excaimed.

"Can you even carry us?" Medusa asked. Her question was answered as we were all carried under Dusknoir's arm. Suddenly, he was FLYING. I closed my eyes and felt the wind cut through my fur.

This flying feels nice. I thought. And familiar. Could I fly as a human? I let Kiara's excited voice fade into the background. I opened my eyes and saw Foggy Forest and a calm river below me. Probably not... But I can remember flying with someone.. I feel a pang of sadness thinking about them, though... who was that? I wish I could remember. I sat for a moment, lost in thought. Oh! I never showed that chest to Xatu! It's hard to find a time when i'm not with Kiara, though... Although... "Hey, Dusknoir?" I asked.

"Yes-?" Dusknoir looked at me.

"Oh! You could ask Dusknoir about your amnesia!" Bubble cut in.

"I almost forgot about that." Medusa said. "It's hard to think about things aside from my awesomeness."

"I wasn't going to ask about that.." I said.

"Oh?" Dusknoir said, surprised.

"Anyway, could you drop me off at treasure town?" I asked. "I need to drop off some extra items and put somethings into Kangascan Storage, maybe trade a couple Plain Seeds and hope to get lucky."

"What about the Water Float?" Kiara asked.

"Medusa and Bubble can take care of that." I said, not regretting receiving a Death Glare from Medusa.

"Alright..." Kiara said.

Some time later...

"Thank you!" I called to Dusknoir as he dropped me off. I watched them fly away for a few seconds before glancing over to Xatu's. I strolled over. "Is your shop still open?" I asked.

"Yes and No. I foresaw a late customer." Xatu said.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said, reaching for my Treasure Bag. I placed a blue, shimmering box on the counter. "How much is it?"

"Free for your first time." Xatu said.

"Oh.. okay." I took a deep breath before beginning: "Well... you know I am friends with Kiara... She mentioned she went to live with someone when she left her mother, was that you? ...Well, I think you two should talk or something.."

"Inside the chest was this Nine-tail charm." Peeking in the box, I could make out a small cross made of fine hairs, held together by a red string. Xatu held it up using Psychic. "This was made by Kiara's mother and belongs to her daughter. She lost it in her move."

"Thanks." I said. "I'll give it to her-"

"Could you also tell her I wish her pleasant dreams and that she is welcome here any time?" Xatu said, giving me a sorrowful look. I returned it.

"I will." I said. "Thank you." I turned and walked up the slope that led to the seaside. If this was Kiara's mother's... what was in the box? I thought. I walked around, finding all the shops were closed. Fu- "I'll just go back to the Guild." Kiara was sitting outside, staring at the ground. "Kiara!" I called, running. "What's wrong?"

"There's bad news..." Kiara said. I-It's... Chatot will explain..." I dashed inside and to Chatot, who was explaining to the non-guild members of other teams, including ours. Stella, Medusa, and Areyon had grim looks on their faces, while Jupiter looked frightened. Dusknoir was attending too. They were sitting in front of the Outlaw Notice Board. I... knew a Grovile once... right? I made contact with the poster of the pokemon on the board. He had a very large bounty on his head.

"This is the culprit of the Time Gears." Chatot said, sneering. "He attacked Uxie at Fogbound Lake and stole the Time Gear." No! I screamed in my thoughts.

"THIS IS A JOKE, RIGHT?" Screamed a Mightyena, outraged.

"Could- could one of us have blabbed?" Stella whispered.

"SCILENCE!" Wigglytuff, who was present screamed. Everyone went wide-eyed. He had on a outraged face. Wigglytuff is terrifying... I thought. "S-sorry..." Wigglytuff apologized, face turning to a concerned one. "We made a promise to Uxie.."

"No, It's fine." Dusknoir said. "I will help you hunt down this criminal." Dusknoir said, his hand on his heart.

"YOOM-TAH!" Wigglytuff said. Everyone flinched. "We will catch him together! Tomorrow we act!"

"YEAH!" "Woot!" "We will catch the thief" "Let's stop him!" "FOR UXIE!"

Yeah, we will catch him! I thought, concerned. Giving Grovile a bad name... Which reminds me... I hope I can remember more about my Grovile friend... Kiara came down and walked over to me.

"Hey, Rook." She said gloomily. "I'm sorry about earlier..."

"Don't worry about it." I said. "AND I HAVE A GIFT FOR YOU!" I threw up my paws. "I talked to Xatu-"

"YOU WHAT?!" Kiara screamed.
