Lucario's POV

Riley: I guess I'll go alone too

good luck

Jason & Riley: *go down the tube*

doesn't one of us need to stay with Pichu to see if he wakes up?

Lucario: I'll stay

ok. Give me a heads up if he wakes

Lucario: ok

let's go, Riolu *goes down tube*

Riolu: *follows*

ok, where do we want to look? perhaps the forest?

Riolu: ok

*goes to forest*

Riolu: *follows*

let's see here...*uses aura to sense through the forest*

Shinx: *was detected by Lucario*

I found Shinx

Riolu: good

he's in here luckily, but Jolteon isn't

Riolu: oh..

*find Shinx* here you are

Shinx: oh hey...

we came looking for you & Jolteon

Shinx: oh..

where is Jolteon anyway?

Shinx: gone already

where exactly?

Shinx: he didn't say

strange...oh well. Let's get back to base *uses aura* mission accomplished

*no response from anyone*

strange...if they were kidnapped already...

Riolu: super weird

we never blew up the enemy base...perhaps that's it

Shinx: what?

we never blew up the enemy base. It's something I do to make sure they don't return

Shinx: oh...

want to check enemy base?

Riolu: sure

Shinx? Up for it?

Shinx: yeah

then let's go *goes to enemy base*

Shinx & Riolu: *follow*

alright. We check, free, & blow it up *enters enemy base*

*feels exactly like Altomare but colder*

*checks the cells* I can't believe this. G-Good...lord... it's freezing in here *charges fire blast* & the power is out... what were they doing here...?

Shinx: n-no clue...

let's get out of here... *exits enemy base*

Riolu: much better out here than in there

for sure...geez. Don't tell me it's Kyurem doing this. If it is then we are as good as dead

Riolu: I hope not

well, where could they be? I'll search the region *uses aura to sense through the region*

*no one but the temperature drops to below 0° & under*

no one even on the region. It's an abandoned one

Riolu: oh no...

were we left behind? Ugh, I'm using my teleport technique

*Lucario sees a faint aura on the edge of the region*

wait...who's that? Riolu, you sense that?

Riolu: *runs to the faint aura*

let's go *runs after Riolu*

Riolu: *stops at a house & looks up*

on the roof?

Riolu: *nods & jumps high & lands on the roof*

*grabs Shinx & jumps to the roof*

*a small pokemon sits on the edge of the roof*

*sets Shinx down & walks up to the pokemon* you're still left

*the pokemon is all black but it looks like a Snivy*

strange...

Black Snivy: *looks up at Lucario*

if you'd like to get off this frozen wasteland, I can get you out of here

Black Snivy: *nods*

come with me. Time to go you two, along with this Snivy. Just grab on & I can teleport all at once

Shinx: ok

Shinx, Black Snivy, & Riolu: *grab on*

*teleports to Sinnoh, rescue base* & we've arrived

Shinx, Black Snivy, & Riolu: *let go*

Shinx: just like the other base

yep, they keep it the same for some reason...

Black Snivy: *goes down tube & towards a house*

DJ: *is asleep*

yeah, we were abandoned like Jason & the others are hangin' around

Riolu: but that Black Snivy was different...

definitely

Riolu: I thought it was giving off a negative aura, but I don't Know

"I may have made a mistake" is what your saying?

Riolu: no, what I'm saying it might've been bad or an experiment gone wrong

yeah, that's true

DJ: *wakes* what's true?

thanks for telling me we were to leave, DJ!

DJ: sorry...

whatever...

DJ: *falls back asleep cause of the sleep powder*

*walks up to DJ* she was hit by sleep powder

Riolu: is it bad?

just puts you to sleep for a while. She'll live

Shinx: good

Riolu, you might want to find Riley

Shinx: *is next to Riley* he's right here, knocked out with the others

knocked out huh? weird

Riolu: definitely

who would've attacked...?

Shinx: no idea who

maybe Team Galactic

Riolu: *looks at ceiling & falls asleep with the others*

I think he went to sleep at his will

Shinx: how?

most of us take time to rest

Shinx: but I mean, how'd he fall asleep when he looked up?

there's that *looks up at ceiling with insomnia ability active* luckily, I can use different abilities

Shinx: yeah...

oh well *blasts it all to kill it*

Shinx: what was that about?

something that puts pokemon to sleep immediately

Shinx: oh..

*insomnia deactivates*

Shinx: we're the only ones awake

yep

Shinx: what should we do while the others are asleep?

beats me

Shinx: can you take a shock?

yeah, why?

Shinx: so I can wake everyone

go for it, I guess. None of us are water types so

Shinx: *shocks the entire floor & wakes everyone but DJ*

well, she didn't wake up

Jason: you should know, she's a hard sleeper

captain obvious *uses Thunderbolt on DJ*

Jason: that's usually Non...

DJ: *still asleep*

*uses thunderbolt two more times*

DJ: *doesn't even get up*

yeah, she's out of it

Jason: out of what?

she won't wake for anything

Riolu: wow...

this is why I think she's lazy at times

Riley: she might be hungry, haven't even eaten

taking energy to sleep?

Shinx: ?

yeah, I don't get it

Riley: *facepalms*

just call me stupid & get it over with

Pichu: pichu pichu

one or two of us can go get some

Pichu: pi

I'll be one to go. Alright, one more can go get berries

Riolu: I'll come

ok then. Let's go * jumps down tube*

Riolu: *follows*

*goes to forest* how many berries do we need approximately?

Riolu: as many as possible

which is?

Riolu: I don't know...

*seems as though there are no berries*

it's strange though, there are none here...well...perhaps it's freezing up here as well

Riolu: definitely weird...

any ideas?

Riolu: *stomach growls* no..

I think I can find an apple or two *punches a tree & knocks an apple out of it* pure luck

Riolu: yeah

*tosses apple to Riolu* eat up. We have to find a lot of berries

Riolu: *eats apple* how come you don't need food?

now we have to find berries. I kinda run off of aura energy

Riolu: oh, cool

let's just hunt down some berries to take back. Knock down whatever berries we can. That's what we do

Riolu: ok *searches for berries*

*searches also*

*no berries are found*

none...let's head to base

Riolu: ok... *feels a bit down*

*sigh* they won't be too happy...*goes to base*

Riolu: *follows*

no luck guys...

Jason: dang...

Riley: at least you tried...

we searched the entire forest & not a thing

Riley: the Poochyena always finds berries

hibernation, correct?

Riley: it's not even winter yet

an entire region? would make sense it would be winter. If it was Kyurem, it would've disappeared as quick as it came

Jason: oh well...

DJ: *color drains bit by bit*

yeah, she's starting to starve...*walks over to DJ* Hang in there a bit longer

DJ: *breathing is still normal*

she's breathing properly at least

Riley: she'll have to have something but I don't know what

I can merely give energy & that's all I can do for her

Jason: luckily, I got something before she dragged us here * pulls out an apple*

real smart

Jason: she wouldn't stop bugging me...

figures. Anyway, let her try to eat the apple

Jason: ok *tosses apple to Lucario*

*catches it* DJ? Wake up for a moment

DJ: *wakes*

can you eat?

DJ: *shrugs*

try to *gives DJ the apple*

DJ: *bites apple & immediately lets go*

weak, huh? Listen, just try to eat that apple. It's either try or die of starvation

*eats apple & regains little color back*
