CBD: *stabbed* Yeah, blame ME for not updating! :3 It-it-it was the PC's fault! ~*~*~*~ "You idiot! You sent her to the wrong region!" Kere screeched at Coroin, beating her midnight-coloured wings madly. "And I was supposed to KNOW that the game had an element of Seanti in it? You didn't notice, smarty-pants." Snarled Coroin, scraping his pointed talons against the ground restlessly. "I was outside at the time, remember? What are we gonna tell Rayquaza now? 'Whoops, we sent the girl to the wrong region?'" Kere retorted. "Did I hear my name? Kere, Coroin, any problems?" a large dragon/serpent like green creature swooped down from the sky and came to rest on the abandoned clifftop. "Erm-" Coroin stuttered, his beak now lost for words. "Don't tell me, you sent our Legend to the wrong region?" Rayquaza sighed irritably, "Which one of you did it?" "Her/him," the Swellow and Fearow said at the same time, pointing their wings at each other. Rayquaza closed his eyes in exasperation. "If you don't tell me now, you will both feel the heat of Dragon Rage on your backs," growled the dragon Legendary. "It was me. I didn't know that she would be sent to Seanti, honest!" stuttered Coroin, his garnet eyes wide. "WHAT?! YOU SENT THE GIRL TO SEANTI?! That's the furthest you can get from Hoenn!" screeched Rayquaza, his long serpent-like tail slamming against the ground with such force that a Sandshrew, sleeping about seven feet under the surface, burrowed even deeper. "I…um…err…" "I don't want to see you two again today, unless you're reporting a success!" Rayquaza lifted his snaky body into the sky and glided across the blue sky. "Crud." Was Kere's only reply. ~*~*~*~ "Aaron, finish it with Gust!" the Phrixin flapped his shimmery wings and blasted a strong gust of wind. The Mudkip was pulled up into the air, and smashed against a large tree, knocked out. "Whoa. That was some hit." The girl that Autumn was fighting recalled the mud fish Pokémon and smiled. "What level is your Phrixin on?" Autumn fumbled for her Pokédex, and eventually found it in her back jean pocket. "Let's see…Aha!" she pushed a button and the screen lit up, and it read: 'Your Phrixin is at level 8.' "Why did you want to know?" Autumn inquired, recalling Aaron. "Same level as Muddy…I was only wondering. Thanks for the battle!" and the black haired trainer ran off, toward the large building in the distance. "That was strange." Kina had been let out of the Pokéball for a while and was now sitting on her trainer's head. "Yup. Ah well. That's three battles in a row. It would have been five if I hadn't lost the other two." "Yah. Well, those trainers were a lot better." Muttered Autumn, suddenly finding her bitten fingers very interesting. "Whatever, honey. What are we doing now?" inquired Kina, sighing. "You expect me to know? I mean, I'm not from-" Autumn paused, realising the outcome to telling Kina the truth. "Not from where? Huh? What are you talking about?" Kina's heart-shaped head tilted to the side, her curls coming loose and flopping into her eyes. "Er…um…" "Come ON, out with it! I'm not standing out here all day waiting!" growled the Vulpix, flipping the loose curls back and nodding at the clearing of thick trees. Autumn bit her lip, causing blood to seep slowly out and she licked it absentmindedly. Eventually she took a deep breath in and muttered, "Imnotfromthepokemonworldimfromearthsodontbugmeaboutit!" A large sweatdrop rolled down the back of Kina's head, and the fox fire type stared at her trainer, amazed at the speed that she could talk at. "Come again?" Autumn repeated the sentence slowly this time, "I'm not from the Pokémon world, I'm from Earth, and so don't bug me about it!" "…Earth? EARTH? You're joking, right?" Kina's amber eyes began to sparkle brightly, "Tell me more!" And so Autumn began to explain every difference from our world, to Kina. Except from the occasional giggling, she was silent the whole way, listening intently to the words. "And that's about it, really. Any questions?" grinned Autumn, who had found a rotten log to sit on during her anecdote. (A/N: Yeah, I know what that word means, Muhahahaha.) "Not really, though I don't quite get the school stuff. But no bother. Let's move on! But can I tell Aaron later?" Kina replied, pulling her Pokéball off Autumn's belt and getting ready to push the button. "Yeah, yeah, okay…" muttered the ginger haired girl, watching the fire fox hitting the button with her paw, and being sucked in by red energy. ~*~*~ "Right. So it's PC05, Connor?" a male of around 15 looked up from the laptop he was typing furiously on. "Yeah. Apparently there's a couple decent Dark types there we should get according to the boss. So…anything interesting there, Dav?" "It's David, and yes. See, we're supposed to get hostages…preferably newbies? Oh no, he's recruiting AGAIN…" sighed David, shaking his dark brown head. "He should really stop doing that. Anyway, is Louise coming? Hmm?" a smirk appeared on Connor's lightly tanned face. "No…hey! Stop teasing me!" snarled David, and he looked back at his computer, sighing. ~*~*~ "Finally! A place I can stay in for the night! Geez, you won't catch me sleeping outside." Autumn said to no one in particular, rubbing her bare arms as she looked around the Skilue Town Pokémon Centre. A couple of cheerful sunflowers, a few plain leafy plants, a few benches, front desk, about seven trainers lazing around, emergency room… Autumn smiled, thinking that it looked nearly like the one on her Gameboy. She walked up to the desk, and put her shiny Pokéballs in the trays supplied. "Excuse me, but can you check my Pokémon for me please?" Autumn said politely. The pink haired nurse nodded, "Of course! I'll only be a minute. You can wait with the other trainers." The Nurse Joy picked up the tray with Autumn's Pokéballs, and walked off into the room at the back. Autumn plodded over to the benches and sat next to a jet-black haired, green-eyed boy. (A/N: No, not Harry Potter!) ~*~*~ Meanwhile, 10, 000 feet above Unin City… "This just sucks, doesn't it? I mean, first we sent the girl to the wrong place, and now we can't FIND her!" muttered Coroin, flattening his jagged, brown wings to glide. "Why are we floating over here again? Will she magically appear in this city? It's the last freakin' one she'll get to!" mused Kere, tossing her brightly coloured feathers on her head. "…Well, we could try Puperty Village, that's pretty close…" the Fearow said thoughtfully, looking up into the setting sky, the usual blue a pretty light pink and orange. ~*~*~ "It's so pretty…do you have skies like this at night? Autumn? HELLO?!" Kina nudged the body of her trainer, obviously sound asleep by the light snoring. "Mmmpfff…look, a kitty…KITTY!" Autumn mumbled. Since she had fallen asleep, the trainers near her had moved away, because of the random pieces of dream. "Meh…might just as well go in for the night. Night night, snorer…" Kina pushed the button of her Pokéball clipped to Autumn's belt, and was turned into bright red energy and sucked in. ~*~*~ "Stop that! You don't force yourself through the front door, David! This is how you do it…" the midnight blue haired female gripped the drainpipe of the Skilue Pokémon Centre, and began to climb it, using her feet to hold onto the sticky-out bits. "Yeah, okay, whatever…" muttered David, putting the crowbar back into his satchel. After the five members of Team Dusk had climbed up the drainpipe and onto the hard brick roof, they crawled around, looking around for a window. Eventually, the blue haired girl called Natalie had found a slanted, double-glazed one. "Hoi! You lot! I've found one. Got the crowbar, Dav?" "It's David! And yep, crowbar…" he handed the strong metal bar over to Natalie, who stuck it under the window, and pushed upwards. With a slight clunk, the window was open, with a gaping hole to the second floor. "Easy as pie. Except when the pie's out of date, anyway." Natalie smirked cockily, cracking her fingers. The five Dusk members slid down the window to the floor, making sure not to make any noise. Well, the other female, Lana, stood on a squeaky floorboard, but no one noticed. Connor and Natalie crept downstairs, holding their Pokéballs loosely in their palms, in case someone was awake. The lobby was silent, except the snores emitting from the ginger haired girl in the corner. Connor slid his lean body under the counter, looking around the backroom for any signs of Dark types. He found a small group of Umbreon, Absol & Phrixiun (the evolution of Phrixin) sleeping on the warm carpet near the shelves of Pokéballs. "Guess they're the Darks we're looking for, and those are their balls…" he mused, staring at the row of stormy grey Pokéballs sitting on the desk. He picked them up, and slowly recalled the Pokémon. Connor slid back under the counter and presented the 'balls to Natalie, who stuffed them back into the satchel. "Now, how the crap do we get the kids out?" Connor said, baffled by this dilemma. "Bodybags? No, just kidding." Natalie mused for a while, then a smile appeared on her face. "We could call one of the jeeps in, I suppose…" "Meh?" was Connor's reply. "Well, they don't make half the noise the helicopters do, and there's lots of space in the back…" grinned Natalie, pulling out her mobile and dialling. A while later, a jeep rolled into the Centre car park, and waited quietly for the group to carry the sleeping trainers into the back, Autumn being one of them. ~*~*~
