"Yeah, but that stupid Metagross is better." He thought back to when he was one of the most powerful players, nearly everybody knew him and none dared to fight him. That was until Olopy came. The Metagross easily bested him in a fight and he lost a lot of fans in the process. His raputation nearly fell into shambles.

The Treecko that was Tom stepped back, then forward again.


"Y-your a human too!" he exclaimed. Then noticing he may be to small, he climbed up the Armaldo.

I tilted my head at the Treeko. "A Treeko huh? Hehe..." My eyes shined and I had a mischievous smile on my face. I loved to do pranks sometimes. I then put on a sweet smile. "Your sooo little.....how fun." I smiled even bigger.

"Well, ok then...you two can just wait here...." Lucas said. He went out Rinae's door to see who was out there. He saw an Rinae with an Armaldo and a Treecko, which was on the Armaldo. Lucas ran over to them.

"A few more, eh? How many Pokémon fans are in our neighborhood?" Lucas said. "Anyways, you two just come on inside...Unless you want to keep watch or something...."

I looked at the Treeko with another mischievously sly smile, and then jumped up the tree by the house roof, and went back inside the window to my room. "Sorry about that. So...now what?"

"When night falls we head out to get to Idaho. Take back ways, Route 66, things like that," Alicia answered softly.

"Besides, Big Headed Rudeness Gallore Guy down there has a point about people killing us or running screaming from us," she added standing up.

"I LOVE being tall!" she exclaimed, forgetting to be quiet.

I looked at her, my head sinking low. "Thanks for the update." I sputtered, and laid back down, irritated. Not at oboe-chan, btu at the fact that I was short...yet again.

"Sorry about you being short. Just to let you know, me right now is taller then me as a human. I'm tiny," Alicia answered, laying down next to Luna.

She lowered her head and got herself shorter then the sitting Umbreon. "Feel better?" she asked softly.

I looked at her dryly once more. "I liked it better when you didn't pretend to be shorter." My eyebrow twitched.

Alicia giggled and lay normally. "I miss being short though. I could sneak away without notice, so the...It doesn't matter," she started to explain, though cut herself off.

I can't beleive I almost told her about school! she thought to herself, angry at herself, though only flickers of it showed.

((What was that for, Treeckomaster? I asked you a question...))

Lucas looked at the Treecko, who looked rather sad. "Come on inside, you two. We have a few more people inside." He said. He signaled the Armaldo and Treecko. He recognized them from the game, but with so many Armaldo and Treeckos in his friends list, he couldn't find out who they were....

When Lucas got inside, he saw Rinae with a annoyed face, Tomoe smiling, and Falco laying about. He saw Ditty there too, rather quiet....

I went downstairs and almost chuckled at the Treecko's face. "You know, I was kidding. I was just in the mood to try a prank, but I changed my mind." I winked and walked away, back to the room with everyone in it.

"Don't worry so much. We may look evil and scary, but most of us are sweethearts," Alicia stated with a grin, hopeing it looked a little nicer.

I almost want to say "Beware of the Grim Reaper of Pokemon." Almost, though not quite, she thought, a slight gleam to her eyes.

Gren jumped into the window, then laid under the bed. "So, what aree we doing?"

"I have no clue, though I think we are going to head out after dark and take back ways," Alicia answered and then yawned.

She streatched out and asked softly, "Will someone please wake me when we leave?"

She then closed her eyes, and relaxed, dozing off.

(Why do I have to be laying about )

"Yeah, it's not like people are going to let us on a bus or in a taxi is it. We've got to be really careful." Falco said, trying to ready himself.

Alicia twitched a little in her doze and shifted a little. She didn't really hear them, though she did register that Falco sounded stressed.

I thought about it. "Well..." I looked at everyone, and sighed. "I know this will be tough, but I have...an idea, of sorts. Not that we will like it, but we have to if we are to reach this place." I took out a series of fake pokeballs that I had collected. "Some of us can walk freely and undetected during day or night. Falco and I can go during night, as well as Toboe, Tom if h's careful, and a few others. We can carry the pokeballs in the sacks. During the day, we switch to day pokemon. Alos, if we need to fly, we leave that to certain people..." I looked to Falco and the Ditto. "Or swim, it will be the same." I looked at Corsola and Ditto. "Also, if we need someone who is small enough to hide in good places, like Tom and I, we will switch. It may be a horrible plan, butdoes anyone have a better one?" I looked at Lucas. "So, buddy old pal. What do you think?"

((Sorry about me being gone for so long....School and such....))

"Well, it seems like a good idea, but would those pokéballs really work?" Said Lucas, wondering where Rinae got the pokéballs. "Anyways, I was thinking that it would be best if someone like the Treecko hold onto a map or something...I know that in a few days it wouldn't matter if we were walking outside, so yea....Does anyone know where to get something to eat?" He asked, his stomach growling loudly....

I looked at Lucas, and thought for a second that I would teardrop. He was the reason that I kept having to ask my mom to buy new snacks for at home.

Alicia yawned and shook while standing up. She yawned, and streatched, thinking she heard her spine pop a little. She shook again, now streatching out her legs individually. She then paid attention to the people, her little ritual finished. "Okay, doze over. Where did the Pokeballs come from?" she asked, stareing at the Pokeballs.

I rolled my eyes. "It's a bit cheesy, really, but remember those old and little kid pokeballs that kids could play with?" I paused for a second, and opened a pokeball. "Well, when I went into that program for the technology, I played around with one of these. That's when I learned that I could modify them, so that they were the real thing!" I paused, and bit my lip. "Of course, my dad used to help me with it, by making it look more...realistic. I stopped making these after...well....anyhow, they should work." I said, frowning now.

"Ah, okay," Alicia answered, then walked over to Luna, and lay next to her.

"You want to talk about it?" she asked very softly for Luna's ears only, looking over at her.

I shook my head. "I can't bring myself to do it."
