🍬❤️Latias' POV❤️🍬
I think the others are starting to get sick of me. Im so weak. Im the only one whose sadness is prominent. I don't deserve to be one of Cookie's Pokémon much less on any of her teams.

"Why are you so sad? I know the fact that mistress Cookie isn't hear is quite distressful but there's no point in letting it get to you." Xernaz aka King Deer says to me.

Both of us are in the back along with Torterra, Tank(Blastoise), Alvin(Chestnaught) and oddly enough Dialga. I think something completely unrelated to this is bothering him.

"You don't understand King Deer. I could have saved her! She told me to get the others and I hesitated. By the time I had gotten everyone to safety they had vanished! Because I hesitated and because I wasn't fast enough, She got taken!" I say, trying to stop the tears from falling.

"Latias correct? It's not your fault. You followed orders. Yes you hesitated but I can guarantee all of us would have! Besides even without the couple seconds of hesitation, you wouldn't have been able to save her. Not because you weren't fast enough but because she'd have ordered you to run rather than put you at risk." King Deer replies.

"He's right you know. Hell if it was me or any of the Sinnoh team for that matter, we would've tried to save her right off the back. And you know where that would've gotten us?" Dialga questions.

I shake my head in reply.

"It would've gotten us and Cookie captured. Though I disagree with all of us would disobey Orders, Buddy would follow them. He wouldn't want to but he would." Torterra replies.

"I'd definitely hesitate at the least. Hell I'd probably try and attack them first at least. But again that've just caused more issues." Alvin adds on, Tank nodding in agreement.

"I... I guess you guys are right." I say giving it some thought. For the first time in about a week, I smile. It's small but it's there.

"There we go! There's that Latias smile! Well kind of..." Gecko says walking backwards to keep moving but still face us. He gives me s smile and mine only grows. I've been a fool. Cookie wouldn't want me sad. She'd want me fighting and keeping everyone's spirits up!

"Right! Enough with my mopping around! Time to be useful!" I say determination flaring up inside. I zoom to the front of everyone and fly up. I look around at the land around us. Huh a lot bigger than Hoenn. A lot less water too.

Right now we're supposed to be headed toward somewhere called Cyllage City and then to Geosenge town. Thing is, we've just left a town called Camphrier. I see what seems to be a cave up ahead. Rather than flying towards it, I fly back down to insure that others know.

"There's a cave up ahead." I inform Buddy, Bluefire, Raichu, Flamey, Sparky, and Startaptor, aka the ones up front.

"Ya that's Connecting cave. Careful of Zubats and Crap." Raichu says. "Actually, It's getting Dark. Maybe we should rest." She says looking at the darkening sky.

"I agree. Also nice to see you happy rather than depressed." Sparky says smiling at me. I smile back in response.

"Hey Latias, can you let everyone know that we'll be camping out around here for the night." Bluefire ask.

"On it." I say making my way along informing everyone as I make my way to the back to inform the last of them.

"Also Dialga." I start.

"Hmm?" He hums tilting his head.

"Are you ok? You seem trouble yourself but not so much by Cookie being missing. What's up?" I ask him. He just looks away and sighs.

"It's nothing. Just... Some drama going on with me and a couple of my friends and... Honestly this should be adding on to this stress but it's not. It's like it's..." He trails off.

"Distracting you from your other issues?" King Deer suggests. Dialga nods in response. "Care to enlighten us on what the issues are? No names necessary."

He hesitates before beginning, "I pissed off my friend and they yelled at me and said some thing that seriously stung. Heh Stungs an understatement. Anyways Later when I was going back to h- their PokéSpace, I over heard h- them talking to our other friend." Dialga says.

"Talking about what?" I asked.

"Talking about how they didn't just want to be my best friend or brother figure but rather he wanted to be my lover. I don't know how to approach them about it and I just... It hurts to be away from him and to know that they're hurting. So basically I'm scared."

"What do you mean by it hurst to be away from him? What kind of hurt?" King Deer asks.

"Sh:t I said him didn't I." Dialga grumbles looking down. "But when I say hurt I mean it's like someone is squeezing and stabbing my heart"

"It sounds like you're in Love Dialga." I say smiling softly at him. Despite the now dark sky, the blush on Dialga's face is still made clear thanks to the moonlight.

"Kinda does doesn't it. Guess only time can tell what will happen." He says turning to look at the sky.

🔹🔥Bluefire's POV🔥🔹
I'm seriously considering that we just leave everyone else here and us originals go. I know Buddy won't agree though. And I can see why he wouldn't but there's just too many of us.

Then again, the organizations must have gotten stronger if they took out all of the Hoenn team. They probably cheated and mobbed them too though. I guess having the Johto team would be. Good too. Actually, I guess all of us really are necessary.

Still, we're moving slowly and we are definitely not inconspicuous. In fact they probably know we're here.

"Hey Buddy. I think we should have a look out system since we're out in the open." I explain.

"I was thinking that too. It's been way too easy for us so far. Something is definitely up." Buddy agrees. "Alright, everyone listen up! We're going to be starting a look out system in case the organizations try anything. Any volunteers for the first few hours?"

"I'll do it. Not really tired anyways." Dialga says finally fully joining the group. Somethings up with him.

"I too would like to join Dialga in the first few hours." King Deer responds.

Buddy nods."Ok anyone want to go after them?"

"I'll probably be woken up by then anyways so sure why not." Absol replies.

"I probably will be too so might as well." Mrs. Woof Woof adds.

"Ok how bout the final stretch?" Buddy asks.

"I'll do it cause why the hell not." Espeon volunteers.

"I will too. Been waking up early as hell anyways, a little earlier can't hurt." Sparky says, stretching out on the ground.

"Alright. Each of you will be up for three hours and then you'll switch off to the next team, or in the case of Sparky and Espeon, just wake everyone else up. For now let's all get some rest." Buddy pauses and adds, "and those of you who'll be on look out, do try and stay awake."

They all give a nod and we settle down for the night
