A/N: While you guys are reading this awesome story I was wondering maybe you guys can tell me what you think about it by reviewing? I would really appreciate it.

I felt the breeze of the ocean air go across my face. I closed my eyes and took a big sniff of it. Ahh, so refreshing. I smiled when I relaxed my body. I was sitting on a chair near the front of the ship. I heard a playful bark as I opened my eyes to see what it was.

I looked to see Buizel and Poochyena play-wrestling each other. I laughed at the sight of Buizel getting Poochyena into a headlock and noogieing him. The puppy had his mouth wide open, trying to raise his head to nibble on the otter's paw. He soon was able to slip his head out of Buizel's grasp and tackle him down. By pinning his arms down with his paws, Poochyena had trapped Buizel's arms and captured him on the ground. The otter struggled, but was at the mercy of his puppy friend.

It was then Poochyena slowly put his face closer to Buizel's and nibbled all around it. This caused Buizel to start giggling and squirm all around to get free. But wherever his face moved to, Poochyena was right there to playfully nibble it. The puppy playfully growled as he kept this up. I laughed at the site; it was just so cute and hilarious.

I then heard Paul say, "Thomas, we will arrive there in several hours, ok?"

"Several hours?" I asked respectfully, "No offense, Paul, but didn't you say that exact things several hours ago?"

"Indeed, I did, boy," he said, "but a ocean's journey from your island there to the region of Hoenn is a complete day's journey. We won't be gettin' there until tonight."

I widened my eyes at that comment. Tonight? Wow, that is a far distance from our home to one of the main lands. I sighed and nodded.

"All right, thank you," I thanked Paul.

He waved it off happily as he went back to transporting us to the Hoenn region. I went back to watching Buizel and Poochyena play around. Buizel kept getting his face nibbled, no matter what he tried to do. Finally, he tapped the deck, showing he gave up. Poochyena stoppedbiting his face and began licking it. Buizel smiled as he was able to get his arms free and hug Poochyena.

As the two cuddled, my mind brought to thought the things I wondered earlier. It was things I couldn't figure out about Buizel and Poochyena. The first off was being their amazing speed and fighting skills. Wild Pokémon don't just have master-like qualities in fighting. And even if they did, do you know how rare it is to find a strong wild Pokémon? They didn't just train together; they must've gone through some intense stuff to be like that.

Which sort of ties into my next question. Why were they so terrified of me when we first met? I mean, wild Pokémon aren't completely horrified when they encounter humans… well… I hope not. But, they seemed so surprised that I actually saved them from drowning. Were they expecting me to hurt them? Maybe… they belonged to another trainer who was abusive and left them under those rocks like that. I don't know…

And although Kilyla City isn't an official route city of any of the regions, it's rare that a Buizel and a Poochyena would be on the island. I mean, those breeds' locations do not include Kilyla City. And it would be impossible for Buizel to have swam this whole distance from whatever region to the island with Poochyena on his back. Where did they come from? How did they get in my alcove?

And then there's that mysterious voice that kept telling me to do things in my head. That never happened at all before I met Buizel and Poochyena. And when I did all those things, Buizel and Poochyena were safe and happier. Did this voice have some connection to them? Would they even know about it if I asked them?

Now, don't think for even a millisecond that I'm doubting my love for those two; I'd die to protect them. But although we were family, they were just as mysterious as they were loving. Things just didn't add up.

I watched them play more and more as the day progressed into evening. The sky started to go from sky blue to midnight blue with the clouds being substituted for stars. The air started to get colder as I could see my breath. However, the weather wasn't fazing me out of my thinking.

I was so determined to find out who these two small but incredibly powerful Pokémon really were. I mean, they knew all about me, because Old Man Fellows told them while I was outside crying that day they followed me into the city. I felt like it was my turn to learn more about them. I then nodded to myself. When we arrived on shore, before we found a place for the night, I would ask them about who they were.

-

Well, the moment after I decided that, we were three hours away from our destination. But since it felt like a breeze going by, I'll fast forward to us landing there.

Anyways, we had arrived on shore and come to a stop. Paul had turned off the boat motor and opened the boat so my Pokémon and I could leave. The two little guys playfully ran towards me, as I held my backpack and walked near the exit. Before I got off, I turned to Paul.

"Well, this is your stop now. You better run along and find a place to do some sleepin'," Paul said with a smile.

"Thanks, again," I replied, smiling too, "Lemme guess; you'll be the guy who'll take me back when it's time?"

"Wahaha! You know it, Thomas," he laughed, "Well, I promised that principal that I'd be back in th' mornin'. So, I'm headin' back now."

"You drive safe, okay?" I said, saying good-bye.

"Yessir, I will. G'night, now, and to you two too," Paul said to us all, as he went back to the wheel.

Buizel and Poochyena waved good-bye as I did too. And with a few moments passing, Paul waved back and the boat started up and out again. And with a few minutes, it was out of sight.

I didn't know what city or town or heck even route we landed on. But, finding our location wasn't my top priority. I looked down at the two Pokémon, who were sniffing and looking at their new surroundings. It was time. The time to ask those questions.

I got really nervous fast. I mean, what if they thought I didn't trust them by asking it? Then again, we're family; we tell each other the truth. My mind was ready, but my voice and confidence was being held back. I slowly opened my mouth and then noise came out.

"H-Hey…. Buizel? Poochyena?" I asked.

Both turned around to look at me when I said their names.

"I… I wanna ask you a couple of questions…." I said nervously.

Both smiled and walked closer to me, as I knelt down to them. Sweat started to form. Dang it. Why was it so hard to ask these questions? My heart was pounding, my hands shaking; everything was so rattled. But yet, I swallowed it all and asked my questions.

"Were… you guys somebody else's Pokémon?" I asked.

Both of them blinked and shook their heads.

I then said, "But… those skills you have… you obviously got them somewhere. And your breeds aren't in Kilyla City anywhere as wild Pokémon. How did you get to the island? Where did you come from? There's so much I don't know about you that I wanna learn."

Suddenly, the eyes of both Buizel and Poochyena got big. Poochyena gulped loudly as Buizel rubbed his left arm. They both looked at each other nervously. That was definitely a clue; they were getting a bit anxious. They were hiding something from me. And, in a non-hurtful way, I wanted to know what exactly it was.

"Come on, please?" I asked, "I promise I won't tell anyone. It's just I wanna gain more and more of your trust until… well… until we're connected."

Both perked their heads up and looked at me with the most surprised looks ever. I wondered if I had touched them again. I smiled as I nodded.

"That's right," I said with a grin, "I wanna know what it's like to be like you. I wanna know how you Pokémon feel, how you walk, talk, do everything. I wanna learn everything about what it's like to be a Pokémon. And I'll do whatever you tell me to do, because I trust you. I trust you with everything I am and I love you so much. So, please… tell me what to do…"

With that, I was shocked to see Buizel and Poochyena get the most excited they ever had been. Buizel immediately grabbed Poochyena's shoulders and started talking.

"BUI! BUI BU BU BUI BU! BUI BU BU BUI!" he yelled excitedly.

With that, he let go of the puppy and let him run to the shoreline. Poochyena sat down on the sand and readied itself. With a huge breath, it howled the loudest I ever heard a Pokémon howl. It was so loud that even I had to cover my ears. He repeated it about three times before he stopped. He stood up and Buizel walked over next to him.

I stared dumbfounded at this. What just happened? I asked them a set of very important questions, and all it resulted in was Poochyena almost breaking the sound barrier. Did I do something wrong?

"Guys?" I asked, "What's goi-"

I was about to finish my question when Buizel signaled with his paw for me to be quiet and come over. I was a little taken back after that; a Pokémon telling his trainer what to do? If that was the case, it must've been important.

I then walked over and stood next to the two. I watched the ocean tide ripple towards us from every wave. We stood there for about several minutes. I was about to say something to them when something spectacular happened.

From out of nowhere, a bright light flashed, catching my eyes and temporarily blinding me. I grunted and rubbed my eyes to the best of my ability. When I opened them, my knees buckled out of awe. I stared dumbfounded again as I couldn't move or say anything.

For in front of me… right above the waves… was Jirachi, the Legendary wish-making Pokémon, smiling at me.
