Chapter 20: I wish...
Hi guys! Quick note, the sentences written in Itallics are the thoughts of the characters. This will show up in the book more often too.

Eliza p.o.v.
"Alright, I think everybody is done eating now" I chuckled, looking at the empty plates.
"You three deserve an explanation on why you're here, I understand it's confusing" I said, shifting my feet around.
"So how did you find us?" Alice asked, moving straight to the point.
"Well we didn't plan to, we were kind of lost, we wanted to go back here, to our base and we ended up in the forest, we saw you using your hands to make a fire and that's why we took you and your friends here" I finished.
"Are you planning anything bad with Alice? You guys are creepy stalkers ya know, I don't trust you even though you gave us nice food" Silver said suspiciously.
"All four of us are the same as Alice. We have this Ability too" Duncan said.
"Proof it" Silver said coldly.
Duncan stood up from the chair and concentrated on his hands, they turned an orange colour and a little flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
Duncan smirked and put the flame out, walking back to his seat again.
"Wait...what?" Alice looked at her friends in confusion.
"Is Reshiram's legend true then? So there are there more of us with pieces of Reshiram's power.." She said.
"Yes, the legend is true, though we are the only five with the Ability, for what we know anyway. There might be more but they might use it for bad things.." Jess said.
"You are the last one" Anthony mumbled, looking at Alice.
"Okay let all of that information sink in for a second. Now for the building, see, this isn't just some regular building. It's our training building. We practice our powers here" Duncan said excitedly.
"And we want you to stay, if that's okay with your friends. They can stay as well in the rooms they slept in last night, your room would be the one you were in last night as well, Alice" I said.
Alice looked at her friends again and they nodded.
"We'll stay" She said.
"But we have a problem. Team Rocket is looking for me, my parents are in the organization as well. This place must be hidden very well right? They can't find me, if they do, they will use me for their needs, I don't want to bring you guys in danger as well" She said nervously.
"No need to worry, this base is hidden very well, to proceed you need to know the password and an elevator will appear to bring you underground to here" I said assuring here that she was safe.
"Good, because I have something they left me and they are not aloud to get it back. We need to get it out and destroy it" Alice said.
"I think I understand what the situation is now, I trust you guys, don't let us down" White said.
Duncan nodded at her and Silver.
Alice pointed to her arm, there was an orange light coming from it and it seemed to be rotating.
"What is that?" I mumbled shocked.
"It's a microchip one of Team Rocket's members called Emerald inserted in my arm. It's supposed to collect data from the Ability I have. And well, our Ability. If they get this they will know more than we do now" She said seriously.
"Then we need to get it out as soon as possible" Anthony said.
Alice p.o.v.
"And, why do you guys train here? What are you going to use your Ability it for? I asked them.
"Like we said, we think there are a few more of us with this power. Possibly in Team Rocket. If that's so we will need to fight to free them from this Ability, they would use it for real bad things" Duncan said seriously.
"Okay then, I understand. I will help you fight, we will work as a team" I said, winking at all of them.
"What about us?" Silver asked.
"It's always good to have a few more sets of eyes right? And you can fight the enemies if they have pokemon, wich I'm pretty sure they have" Jess said.
"Alright then" White said and nodded.
"I can show you the place we train in?" Eliza said.
"That would be great, thanks" I said, and followed her out of the dining room.
We walked down stairs, a lot if stairs.
We finally arrived in front of a metal door.
Eliza opened the door and let me in.
I'm pretty sure my mouth dropped to the floor.
The place was HUGE.
The floor was grey, with cool patterns on it.
There were different things to practice your Ability, like piles of wood to burn and patterns you could try to form.
"I know, it's pretty awesome" Eliza chuckled.
"How often do you practice here?" I said in awe.
"Mostly in the mornings, and in the afternoon" She answered.
I winced at the microchip rotating in my arm.
"Does it hurt a lot?" She asked looking at me.
"Sometimes, most of the time I can handle it but sometimes the pain is much worse" I said truthfully.
"Damn Team Rocket" She said.
"We'll get that out as soon as possible, Anthony, before he came here was a doctor and knows how to handle this" She said, assuring me it I would be fine.
"How old is he then?" I asked her surprised.
"He's 24 actually" She laughed. He's older than Jess, she's 17.
I laughed.
"Come on, I will show you around some more, you can come here to train later if you want" Eliza said.
She closed the door.
We walked up the stairs, wich was very tiring.
Once we were at the top of the stairs there was another stairway up.
"Damn, why didn't you guys build elevators yet?" I mumbled.
"Because the stairs are doing fine" Eliza answered with a chuckle.
We walked up the stairs and arrived at yet another floor.
Such a big building for 4 people? That's ridiculous. Well, there are now seven of us in this base building so I guess they were prepared.
A few light blue doors were in the hallway.
Eliza opened one of the doors, there were five of them in total.
"These are the bathrooms, we have five. I hope you don't mind sharing the fifth one with White? Silver will share a bathroom with Duncan, so it's all settled" Eliza finished.
"That's no problem at all! What a luxurious base you guys have" I said.
"We're proud of it" Eliza said and walked straight on.
I followed her, I looked down at the floor. We were walking on a dark green carpet wich was long, since it was covering this whole floor.
I looked up again and kept walking behind Eliza.
I wonder how Silver and White are doing.
Silver p.o.v.
"Wait. So I'm going to have to share a bathroom with you?" I said, acting amused.
"That's right man" The guy said. I believe his name was Duncan?
"I will show you how to find the bathroom? I mean, everybody needs to shower in the end right?" He said and chuckled.
"Sure thing.." I mumbled and followed him.
I was shocked on how many stairs they had in this building.
Ofcourse, I didn't show Duncan how tired I was from walking up the stairs. A man shows no weakness..right?
"Are you tired yet?" Duncan guy asked me.
"Far from tired. Thanks for your concern" I answered sarcastically at the end.
Show off.
He rolled his eyes.
We arrived at the next floor.
Duncan opened a door- wich I suppose is ours.
"Our bathroom" He simply said and laughed.
"It's so special" I laughed.
"It sure is" He laughed as well.
"Eh, can I tell you something?" Duncan asked me.
"Whatever" I mumbled and listened to what he had to say.
"Your friend, Alice. Is she your girlfriend?" He suddenly said.
My laugh dissapeared.
"Well uh.." I started.
Damn. What do I say now? I thought.
I don't really want him to try something on her.
"Yeah uh, she's my girlfriend" I said. The words escaped my mouth before I realized it.
Well this is just great, stupid. I thought again.. What if she finds out about what I just said?
"Oh ehm. Okay..You are very lucky" Duncan mumbled, looking away.
I faked a smile.
"Yes I am" I said, sighing.
I kind of wish it was true.. I thought, before I followed Duncan downstairs.
