Audrey, Josh, and Sammy were walking towards the airport. They were chatting cheerfully the entire way. When they got there, Audrey jumped up and down giggling.
"What's so funny?", Josh asked curiously.
"I feel so alive!", Audrey said as she twirled around.
"Umm...okay...", Josh said, confused. He didn't quite understand her yet, but he knew they were going to be great friends.
"Plane 3 will be leaving in five minutes", a voice came from the speakers.
"We'd better get going", Josh said. They left and got on the plane. It was a pretty average airplane with 20 rows of three seats. There was a door at the front that lead to the first class area.
"What happened?", Audrey asked once they were sitting down.
"What do you mean?", Josh asked, confused.
"Well, you're,obviously not a bad person. So how did end up with bullies for friends?", she asked as she looked out of the window.
"Well, it started when I was a little kid", he explained. "I was always getting picked on. Nobody liked me. One day, an older kid came up to me and told me that the only way to survive in this world is to be the stronger one. He proved to be right when he battled a wild pokemon and caught it. I didn't know what else to do, so I listened to his advice. Instead of the being the pushover, I became the one who pushed over others. I didn't know what I was doing was wrong until you opened my eyes to the truth."
"Josh...", she said softly. She had no idea that he had such a rough childhood. The plane started taking off causing Sammy to yelp in fear.
"What's wrong, Sammy?", she asked him.
"I'm scared...", Sammy whispered. Audrey hugged him tightly.
"I'll never let anything happen to you", she told him. "I promise."
About thirty minutes I to the flight, they all started getting a little hungry.
"I'll get us some pretzels", Audrey offered. She got up and walked to the back of the plane. She started to daydream and accidentally walked into someone. They both fell and her hood fell off. She quickly put her hood back on and stood up, as did the person she walked into. She smiled when she realized who it was.
"Hi, Silver!", she greeted. "I didn't know that you going to Hoenn, too."
"Um, yeah. I am...", Silver replied nervously.
"Are you okay?", she asked.
"What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine", he said.
"Umm...okay...", she said, not really believing him. "Have you seen my brother?"
"I'm sorry, but I haven't", he sighed.
"Well, that's okay", she replied. "I'm sure I'm going to find him in Hoenn. Hey, maybe you could help me find him and then you could meet each other!"
"Yeah, maybe...", he said looking at the floor.
"If you don't have any plans, that is...", she said, disappointed.
"I do", Silver said, "but I'll still help you look."
"Thanks so much!", Audrey said as she smiled. She hugged Silver, who blushed slightly.
"It's nothing", Silver said. Audrey broke the hug and giggled. Josh walked up to them.
"Hey, Angel. Is there something wrong?", Josh asked as he eyed Silver suspiciously.
"No, nothing at all!", Audrey said cheerfully. "Josh, this is Silver."
"We should go", Josh said as he glared at Silver. Silver just sighed and turned to walk away, but Audrey grabbed his wrist before he could go anywhere. She turned to look at Josh.
"Why? What's wrong with Silver?", Audrey asked. Silver stared at her in shock. No one ever stood up for him before.
"You seriously don't know?", Josh asked as he raised an eyebrow. Audrey thought about it. 'In the games and mangas, he was Giovanni's son. Oh, that's right! In the games he was a jerk and abandoned his weak Pokemon. That's quite a reputation.'
"I do know", Audrey said as she narrowed her eyes, "and I have forgiven for what he has done in the past. I forgave you and accepted you as a friend. So, why should this be any different?" Josh stayed silent for a few moments then sighed.
"You're right", Josh sighed, "but that doesn't meet that I trust him."
"Well, he's going to help us find my brother, so you'd better get used to him", Audrey said before she walked back to her seat. Josh shot Silver another glare before following her. Audrey and Josh sat down. Audrey refused to look at him because of how he treated Silver. Sammy started nibbling on some peanuts that a flight attendant gave him.
"Are you okay?", Sammy asked when he saw how tense Audrey was.
"I'm fine", Audrey said as she smiled at him. They chatted cheerfully for a while. Eventually, Sammy fell asleep on her shoulder, and Audrey fell asleep shortly after. Josh couldn't help but smile at them.
"Please buckle your seatbelts, we will be landing in fifteen minutes", the pilot's voice was heard from the speakers. "Repeat, we will be landing in fifteen minutes." Josh gently shook them awake. They buckled their seatbelts.
"This is my favorite part", Audrey whispered in Sammy's ear when she saw fear flash across his face. Sammy smiled and held tightly onto Audrey's hand. Sammy looked out of the small window as they descended towards the ground.
"Welcome to Lilycove City and have a nice day", a sugar-coated voice said as they got off of the airplane and into the airport. People everywhere were bustling and hurrying. Gift shops and small restaurants were filled. The three of them walked around looking around for a while.
"Where did Silver go?", Audrey asked as she realized she hadn't seen him since they were on the plane.
"I don't know", Josh said and he shrugged.
"Oh, there he is!", Audrey said as she pointed across the large, busy hallway. Silver spotted them and quickly walked towards them.
"You guys have to go", Silver said with a hint of fear in his voice.
"What?", Audrey asked, very confused.
"I know what you really are", Silver said as she looked her in the eyes. Her eyes widened. "When I first met you, I saw your tail and just now on the plane I saw your ears. There are people here that want to capture you. You have to go."
"And why should we believe you?", Josh asked.
"Because I care about Angel's safety", Silver said as he glared at Josh.
"Angel, let's get out of here", Josh said as he grabbed Audrey's wrist.
"If there's something wrong then maybe I can help", Audrey said as she struggled to get out of Josh's grip.
"I don't want you getting hurt", Silver said. Audrey looked at him.
"I trust you", Audrey said and she stopped struggling. She grabbed Sammy's hand with her free hand. At that moment, the lights flickered. All the TV screens glitched then showed a solemn looking man with an evil smile on his face. Silver's face reddened with rage.
"It has come to my attention that there are creatures in this airport", the man said. "And those creatures belong to me."
"Giovanni", Silver muttered. Team Rocket grunts got into their positions, and people started panicking and running around screaming. Josh picked Sammy up and grabbed Audrey's hand and began running towards the nearest exit. A battle began to rage. Pokehumans revealed themselves and started fighting against the grunts' Pokemon. The exit was blocked by grunts and their Pokemon. To Audrey, everything was a blur. She watched helplessly as Pokehumans were being captured. 'My family... Wait, I wasn't even a Pokehuman for very long. Why do I feel like everything I love is being taken away from me? It's because everything they love is being taken away from them. I'm not useless. I have to help.'
"Watch out!", someone shouted as he pushed Audrey out of the way of a Pokemon attack. "Sorry about that." He helped her up.
"Th-thanks", Audrey stuttered in reply. She looked at the boy that had just saved her life. He looked about her age and was a Charmeleon Pokehuman.
"You should get out of here", the boy said, then he flashed a grin. "Hope that I see you again, Ree." And with that, he ran into battle. 'What did he just call me?' She realized her hood was off and blushed. 'Clever...'
"Angel, let's go!", Josh shouted over the noise. Angel ran over to him.
"Wait, how did you knock out both the grunts and their Pokemon?", Angel asked, then noticed Silver holding a pokeball.
"Silver took care of the Pokemon and I knocked out the grunts", Josh said as they ran out of the building. Josh took a cell phone out of his pocket and called a taxi company. "Hey, we're at the airport. Can you pick us up as soon as you can? Yeah, okay. Thanks." A few minutes later a yellow taxi pulled up.
"Where are you heading?", the man asked. About ten helicopters suddenly took flight and left the airport.
"Foretree City", Audrey said as they got in the car. The driver eyed Silver suspiciously. Silver rolled his eyes.
"So, who was that man?", Audrey asked. Josh raised an eyebrow and Silver quietly groaned. 'Oh, that must've been Giovanni. I'm an idiot.' She mentally face palmed and blushed. "Never mind..."
"Okay, then who was that boy?", Josh asked. Audrey blushed a little more. "Was he a friend of yours?"
"No! I don't know him at all! He didn't even tell me his name", Audrey said as she started playing with her hair nervously. She blushed even more when she remembered what the boy had called her. Josh stared at her then started laughing, much to her annoyance. "What?!"
"You like him!", Josh said between laughs. Silver couldn't help but smile. Audrey's face became impossibly red.
"O-of course I do! He saved my life!", she said nervously. Josh laughed even harder and even the driver chuckled.
"Not like that", Josh said between laughs. "You have a crush!"
"Do not!", Audrey yelled and slowly calmed herself down. "Why should I? I only met him once and I don't even know what his name is." Sammy stared at Josh.
"What's so funny?", Sammy asked, very confused.
"N-nothing!", Audrey said. The driver sighed.
"Kids these days", the driver laughed. He parked the car. "Well, here's Foretree City." They got out of the car and paid the driver.
"Thank you!", Audrey said.
"You all seem like nice kids", the driver said, handing the cash back. "I don't need this."
"B-but sir-"Audrey said trying to give it back to him.
"No buts", the driver said, holding his hand up. "I already have enough money. Besides, now that I'm in Foretree City, I can visit my sister."
"Thank you, sir", Audrey said, smiling.
"Don't call me sir", he laughed and then drove off. Audrey stretched and yawned.
"We should find a place to sleep", Josh said.
"No! I have to look for my brother!", Audrey said.
"We will in the morning", Silver said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Okay", Audrey sighed. "Can we sleep in the forest?"
"You mean you don't want to sleep under a roof?", Josh asked.
"Nope!", Audrey giggled.
"Alright then", Josh laughed. The sun started setting. They walked into the forest and lied on their backs and stared at the sky.
"Why did you come to Hoenn?", Audrey asked Silver as she stared at the stars.
"Well, I-", Silver said before it started pouring rain.
"Not the best choice, huh Angel?", Josh said as he stood up. Audrey just giggled and started dancing around.
"What is she doing?", Silver asked as Audrey continued dancing and giggling.
"I have no idea", Josh sighed. "Let's go someplace dry." They started walking around desperately trying to find a dry place.
"Hey, Josh, you doofus!", Audrey shouted as the others walked passed her. "There's a cave right here!"
"I knew that!", Josh said as they walked towards her. Audrey rolled her eyes and laughed. They walked into the cave and fell asleep.
Jacob woke up at sunrise feeling great. Prince tumbled into the room. Jacob laughed. Prince tried to tackle Jacob, but tripped causing both of the to fall over in a heap of laughter. Liliana flew up to the window.
"Good morning!", Liliana said in a sing song voice.
"Hey!", Jacob said as he stood up. He walked over to the window.
"Are you ready for an adventure, Mr. Hero?", Liliana asked.
"Who are you calling Mr. Hero?", Jacob laughed.
"Every adventure needs a hero", Liliana giggled.
"Okay then", Jacob laughed.
"I'll meet you outside", Liliana giggled. She lightly kissed his nose and flew away, leaving Jacob blushing.
"What are you waiting for?", Prince said.
"Nothing, let's go", Jacob said as they went outside. They ate a few berries for breakfast with Liliana. When they finished, they got up and walked towards the entrance/exit of the kingdom. As they were about to leave they saw four sleeping figures. One of them yawned and sat up. She looked at Jacob, Liliana, and Prince. Her eyes widened.
"Who are you?", Jacob asked cautiously. She started crying. The others started waking up.
"Y-you don't recognize me?", she asked as she slowly stood up.
"Wait, a-are you...?", Jacob said in shock. The girl nodded and hugged him hard.
"I've missed you", Audrey said quietly. Jacob hugged her back.
"Me, too", Jacob said. "Hey, don't cry." Audrey rubbed wiped the tears off of her face and started jumping for joy.
"Oh my gosh!", she squealed. She hugged Josh and Silver and picked up Sammy and spun him around. She put Sammy down. "Okay, I'm done."
"Is she okay?", Jacob asked.
"Yeah, it's just one of her random outbursts of happiness", Josh sighed.
"Okay, so who are you?", Jacob asked.
"I'm Josh", Josh replied. "Who are you?"
"You can call me Jacob or Ripple", Jacob said. "Either one is fine."
"This is your sister? She's so adorable!", Liliana squealed.
"More squealing...", Josh sighed as he winced slightly.
"Call me Angel!", Audrey said.
"I'm Liliana!", Liliana said.
"Technically my name is Audrey, but I've sorta gotten used to being called Angel", Audrey said, earning confused glances from Josh and Silver.
"What a cute nickname! You call me Lily, then", Liliana squealed. "So, who are your bodyguards?" Audrey, Josh, and Silver blushed.
"Oh, that's just Josh and Silver", Audrey replied.
"So they are your bodyguards?", Liliana teased. Audrey blushed more.
"N-no! They're not my bodyguards and I don't and will never like them that way if that's what you're getting at", Audrey said rather quickly.
"So you like someone else?", Liliana said, giggling at Audrey's reaction. Audrey blushed even more.
"I'm not going to answer that", Audrey said, looking away. Jacob raised an eyebrow at her.
"Who is it?", Liliana asked.
"Can we please stop talking about me?!", Audrey asked, looking very flustered.
"Okay", Liliana giggled. "And who is this little cutie?"
"Oh, that's Sammy", Audrey said. Sammy smiled shyly and hid behind Audrey. "He's kinda like my little brother."
"Aww, how sweet", Liliana said. "Hello."
"Don't be shy", Audrey said encouragingly.
"H-hi", Sammy said nervously.
"And I'm Prince!", Prince said happily. He tripped.
"It's nice to meet you", Audrey giggled.
"Wait a minute", Jacob said, realizing something. "How did you find this place? Even I wouldn't be able to find it in broad daylight."
"Well, she found it when it was dark and raining", Josh said, making Jacob look even more curious.
"She is quite a rare talent, isn't she?", came a voice from the shadows. A man stepped out of the shadows. He was an Entei Pokehuman, and looked like he could be 30 to 40 years old. He looked solemn, but his eyes sparkled with laughter.
"Master Inferno", Liliana said as she bowed her head. He bowed his head in response. The others looked at her with very confused expressions. "He trains Pokehumans and turn them into warriors. The best of the best get trained by him and his siblings."
"What do you mean I'm a rare talent?", Audrey asked.
"You can find hidden things with ease", Inferno explained, "and you can even allow your spirit to wander from your body and read the emotions of others, something only psychic types can do. It is quite a rare talent indeed."
"If only psychic types can do it, then how can I?", Audrey asked. "And why can I?"
"You have a powerful mind and a kind heart, which allows your mind to wander, and you can read emotions through the aura, something all Riolus and Lucarios can do", Inferno said, "but I'm afraid I cannot answer the second question."
"Why did you come?", Liliana asked as worry crept into her voice. "Did something bad happen?"
"Yes, actually something did happen", Audrey sighed. "Giovanni is after the Pokehumans." Liliana gasped and Jacob's eyes narrowed.
"That is why I have come", Inferno said solemnly.
"I'm going to help", Audrey said with determination. "I'm not weak and useless, like I once thought I was. I have strength, and I will use that strength to protect."
"I'm right behind you", Jacob said as he put his hand on her shoulder, "but I thought you hated fighting."
"I used too", Audrey sighed, "but now I know that sometimes it's the only way." Inferno nodded.
"I will help train you", Inferno said, "as will my brother and sister."
"This is so exciting!", Liliana squealed.
