(Rafe's POV):

Me and my sisters were roaming around the forest.They wanted some additional Pokémon for their team.

I sighed.Maybe I should also search for additional team members.I wonder how Sora is doing?She left early in the moring without even telling us where she is going.But Soren told me that she mentioned about going to Cindy's house.At least she wasn't alone.

Zack left last night.He told us he's going to do some business here,which is why he came here.Before leaving,he asked Sora for an autograph.I lightly chuckled when I remembered her reaction.She looked as if it was the first time she had a fan.She never gets used to having fans.

"Rafe?"My sister,Audrey,turned toward me,snapping me out of my thoughts.I raised an eyebrow.

"What is it,sis?"I asked her.She looked worried.She glanced at Kathryn,who had the same worried expression.

"We're worried about Sora.Team Rocket was able to locate her and tried to kill her again.Do you think she'll be okay?"Kathryn asked.That's what I was thinking last night.She is once again the target of Team Rocket.But why?She doesn't have the Orb of Rayquaza this time.Is it because of the eons?Or is it something else?

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by an ear piercing shriek from a nearby place.

"HELP!!!"Another voice followed.The voice belonged to a girl.It was followed by another shriek and a deafening roar."Sora!Sora!Wake up!"The voice cried out.

I recognised the voice.It belonged to Cindy."Sora!!!"I shouted and ran toward the direction of the scream.My twin sisters followed behind me.

(Sora's POV):

Me and Cindy were having a stroll near the sea.It was sparkling because of the sun's bright rays.A few water type Pokémon were swimming near us.My Cyndaquil saw a Horsea and played with it,causing me to giggle.Its such an adorable sight!I suddenly had an idea.

"Alright,guys!Come on out!"I shouted and sent out all of my Pokémon,including Rayquaza.They all scattered around.Rayquaza flew up to the ozone layer,to avoid humans and to eat.

"Make sure to return later,buddy!"I shouted as he disappeared into the clouds.

:I will:He answered back.

Cindy smiled and sent out her Chikorita.It stretched and smiled at its new trainer.It soon joined the others.Lucario ran toward me and excitedly jumped up and down like a child.

:Sora!I learned how to use telepathy with the help of Latios!:He shouted excitedly.I smiled.

"So that's what you were doing behind my back.Since when did you start practicing?"I asked him.

:Well.When you were in a coma,I tried to practice telepathy with the twins.Oh!And check this out!:His eyes glowed blue.I was surrounded in a light-blue aura and I was carefully lifted up in the air.He gently put me down.

"You learned Psychic?That's awesome!"I exclaimed and hugged him.He seemed pretty pleased with himself."Alright.We'll train later.Now,go have some fun."I told him.He nodded and ran off.I watched my Pokémon have fun.Flareon and Cyndaquil were building sand castles while Vaporeon swam in the water.The eons flew around as some Luvdisc swam around them.

Gardevoir was meditating (something that she usually does when she wanted some peace and quiet).Her peaceful time was ruined when Lucario tried to disturb her by throwing a small rock on her head.She gritted her teeth,but she still continued meditating.Lucario tried pouring sand on her head,it still didn't work.He then tried singing terribly.

"Luuuu-caaaaa!Riiiii-oooo!Lucarioooo!"(A/N:Try imagining a Lucario singing.LOL!XD)My eardrums were throbbing.Still,Gardevoir continued meditating.He sighed.

:I give up!:He exclaimed,causing me to laugh.I approached him and whispered something in his ear.He nodded and seemed delighted.He turned toward Gardevoir with a mischievous grin and snickered.He ran toward her frantically.

:Gardevoir!Blaziken and Soren's Gallade were having a fight over you!Blaziken was injured badly because of a powerful Psycho Cut!:Lucario exclaimed,flapping his arms frantically.Gardevoir stopped meditating and instantly got on her feet.

:Where?!:She asked,but all she saw was a laughing Lucario.She realised she has been trick and got very angry.She gritted her teeth and used Psychic on him.

:Uh...Gardevoir.What are you doing?:He asked.His question was answered when Gardevoir used Psychic to hurl him into the water far away from her.

Me and the others were laughing as Lucario frantically swim back to shore.He was dripping wet,and he hates being wet.Gardevoir smirked.

:That's what you get for tricking me,doggy:She told him.Lucario glared at her,then smirked.He found a pail filled with sand near him.Gardevoir saw the pail.Her eyes widened and she took careful steps backward.

:Oh no!Don't even think about it!:She ran as Lucario chased her with the pail filled with sand.He flung handfuls of sand toward her.The others laughed at the two.

We were suddenly interrupted by a roar.I shakily looked up and saw a Gyarados.It looked mad and ready to attack.The memories of the accident flashed in front of my eyes.The screams of my siblings,their cries for help and my parents' voices.

I shrieked and grabbed my head,trying to get rid of the screams inside my head.All I remember after that was seeing darkness.

(Normal POV):

"Sora!Sora!"Cindy whimpered and ran toward Sora.Her Pokémon ran toward them.Cindy shoutd for help,hoping that someone is around to help them.

Cindy shrieked as the Gyarados got ready to attack.It let out a deafening roar.

Lucario attacked it using Aura Sphere while Gardevoir used Shock Wave.It fused together,making the Aura Sphere look yellowish.It struck the Gyarados,making it more angrier.

"Sora!!!"Cindy heard a male voice shout nearby.Cindy sighed and rubbed Sora's forehead.

"Please,be okay."She whispered as Sora's Pokémon fought with the Gyarados.

She soon caught sight of Rafe and the twins."Sora!"They shouted and ran toward them.Rafe saw the Gyarados.He sent out his Blaziken.The tall,blaze Pokémon saw the Gyarados release a powerful Flamethrower.Gardevoir was hit,causing Blaziken to jump into action using Blaze Kick.

Rafe turned his attention toward Sora.She was still unconcious."Sora,wake up."He shook her.She stirred,but still didn't wake up.

"Gyarados...."She murmurred.They can see tears flow down her face."Please.Spare my family."Rafe's eyes widened.He remembered...

'The Gyarados attacked us...'He remembered what she told him back at LaRousse city.'I was knocked unconcious and got injured.When I woke up...My family was dead.'Rafe now understood why she almost fainted when she saw a Gyarados.Her fear.

"Sora."He murmurred and gripped her hand tightly.The Gyarados was the reason her family died.He stood up and faced the rampaging Gyarados.

It still won't give up.Almost all of Sora's Pokémon were knocked out.They can't just leave it.A single Gyarados can destroy a town.Which means there's only one option left.

"Blaziken,use Sky Uppercut!"Rafe ordered.Blaziken charged toward the Gyarados and gave it a powerful uppercut.It fell down.It soon got up and roared,giving Blaziken a cold stare."Now,use Blaze Kick!"Blaziken grunted and slammed its left foot on Gyarados' head,knocking it unconscious.

Rafe threw a Pokéball toward the unconscious Gyarados.A red beam sucked it in and the Pokéball shook for a while.Rafe and the others crossed their fingers,hoping they can be succesful.Finally,it stopped,meaning he captured it.Rafe picked up the Pokéball.

"Sora!"Audrey shouted.Rafe turned around just in time to see Sora wake up.Her eyes fluttered and she let out a soft groan.

"W-what happened?Where's the Gyarados?"She asked drowsily and sat up.Cindy hugged her.

"I was worried!"Cindy exclaimed.Sora smiled at her assuringly and stood up.Her Pokémon happily hugged her.

:You still haven't got rid of your fear of Gyarados?:Latios asked.

"Fear of...Gyarados?"Audrey asked.They were interrupted by Rayquaza.He worriedly floated beside Sora.

:I saw what happened.Are you okay?:Rayquaza asked worriedly.Sora nodded.

"I'm fine.You guys need some rest.Return!"She retrieved her Pokémon and turned toward her friends."So,what happened to Gyarados?"She asked them.

"I caught it."Rafe answered.Sora almost gasped.

"You caught a Gyarados?"She asked.Rafe nodded.He had no choice.He can't just leave it while it was on a rampage.It might destroy the city.

"Sora,you better explain about your fear of Gyarados."Kathryn told her sternly.Sora sighed.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center while I explain things."She told them.

* * *

After saying goodbye to Cindy,Sora and her friends headed toward the desk.Nurse Joy smiled warmly at them.

"Nurse Joy,may we ask where the next contest will be located?"Sora asked.Nurse Joy nodded and searched on her computer.

"The next one will be in Chrysanthemum Island."Nurse Joy told them.Sora and the others nodded.

"Let's get going!"Chase exclaimed."And to make things easier,let's fly to Chrysanthemum Island!"He exclaimed.Sora and the others nodded.

They were suddenly interrupted by a large crowd.Most of them were boys and girls the same age as Sora.

"There's Sora!"A boy shouted.Before they knew it,Sora found herself surrounded by the people.She sweatdropped as they excitedly asked her many questions.

"May I take your autograph?"One asked.

"Sora,will you be my girlfriend?"Another one asked.She managed to slip through.

"Let's go!"Sora shouted and sent out Rayquaza,Latios and Latias.Chase,Riku and Austin sent out Charizard,Togekiss and Dragonite.Sora and her Cyndaquil rode on Latias,the twins and Soren on Rayquaza,Rafe on Latios,Chase on Charizard,Austin on Dragonite and Riku on Togekiss.They took off to avoid the wild fans.

(Sora POV):

I sighed as the wind blew my long hair.I could hear the twins squeal.They were enjoying the ride.Numerous Altaria,Swablu,Pidgeot,Pidgeotto,Pidgey,some Tailow and Swellow were flying beside us.I saw a Beautifly approach Audrey and a Butterfree approach Kathryn.The Beautifly rested on Audrey's head while the Butterfree took a break on Kathryn's shoulder.They both giggled.

"I think they're tired."I commented and glanced at their fragile wings.

"Yeah."Audrey nodded as we landed in front of a Pokémon Center.

"We're here!"Riku exclaimed happily.I gasped as I examined the environment.

"Its nice here!And they got a swimming pool!"I exclaimed.

"How about we swim in The pool?"Audrey suggested.We all nodded excitedly.

"Good thing I still have a spare swimsuit."I commented and turned toward the boys."Wanna come?"I asked them.They nodded.

We all ran in two seperate ways to change.I picked my blue tank top and matching shorts.Audrey and Kathryn wore swimsuits while Riku picked a yellow swimsuit that was similar to mine.I put on my bag containing my Pokéballs and other stuff.

We ran toward the pool.I put my feet in the water while Riku was sunbathing.Audrey and Kathryn were playing by the pool.The Beautifly and Butterfree from before joined them.

I soon caught sight of the boys.Chase wore green trunks,Austin wore yellow,Soren wore blue and Rafe wore brown trunks.

Chase and Soren jumped into the pool,creating a mini tsunami that made me wet.I glared at them as they splashed water on me.I smirked and grabbed Vaporeon and Lucario's Pokéballs.Soren and Chase saw what I did and stared at me in horror.

I sent out Vaporeon and Lucario."Vaporeon,use Water Gun on Chase and Soren!Lucario,use Aura Sphere on the water!"Vaporeon shot a Water Gun on the two boys and Lucario's Aura Sphere created a powerful splash.I retrieved my two Pokémon."Thanks,guys!"I exclaimed and ran as the two guys ran after me.

I hid behind Rafe and used him as a shield as Soren used Miranda's Hydro Pump on us.Rafe glared at me underneath his dripping hair.I giggled.

"Sorry,Rafe."I playfully thanked him and ran off.I stopped in my tracks as I saw a familiar brunette with a red-headed girl.I gasped."May?"I asked.

The brunette turned toward my direction.She soon recognized me and squealed.She ran toward me and pulled me in a bone-crushing hug.I could feel tears flow down her eyes.

"S-Sora!"She sobbed.I could also feel tears streak down my face.My best friend.I finally found her.

"Sora!"I heard Ash and Max's voices.Soon,a loud thud was heard.I sighed and giggled.

"Oh Ash."I turned around and saw him on face-down on the ground.I ran and helped him get up.

His eyes widened when he saw me."Sora,is that really you?"He asked me.I grinned.

"Yes.It's me!"I exclaimed and hugged him.Ash was just,well,dumbfounded.It has been a long time since I travelled with them.I missed them.I missed Ash's determination,Brock's cooking,Max's smart comments,May's love for food and more.

I was suddenly tackled by Max.Tears ran down his eyes and sobbed uncontrollably on my shoulder.I couldn't hold it in any longer.I began to cry as well.

"I-I'm r-really glad y-you're s-s-safe."Max hiccupped.I gently rubbed his back t cheer him up.My shoulder is getting wet from his tears.He finally let go,but he was still crying.

"Don't cry,Max."I smiled at him assuringly.He removed his glasses and wiped his tears.He smiled."That's it.Don't cry,okay?"I asked him.He nodded.

I suddenly felt cold water hurled at me.I turned around and saw Soren and Chase holding buckets filled with water.They froze when they saw May and the others.

"May!Max!Ash!"Chase exclaimed.I glared at him underneath my dripping hair.The red-headed girl looked surprised.

"Oh.This is Brianna by the way."May noticed how awkward the red-headed is feeling."Brianna this is Sora."May introduced ne to her.I smiled at her,but we were interrupted by a boy.

"Look!Its Sora Keyheart!"One shouted.I turned around and saw a crowd of boys ny age.My eyes widened.Not again.

I ran off quickly as I was chased by my fans.Why,Arceus?!Why?!

I could hear the others laughing.Man,this is so embarrassing!
