Jason turned with a tear coming form his face..he walked over to Kiki..and put his arm around her attempting to comfort her

"i know how it feels to lose your parents i lost..mine..but its a bit different"...he lifted his arm off of her..thinking she would hit him if he kept it there

"my parents abused me as a child saying i wasnt strong enough..i was a very kind child..and for it i was punished...my parents one day..left and left a note..telling me i was a nothing..a fialure and disgrace to the family...and after i turned 7 i foudn out..my parents..became Rockets..i was so depressed and full of hatred my own personaltiy changed...i hate my parents..but they are sitll my parents..that bond is what torments me..thinking that their blood flows in my veins..i just..hate everyone..i never trusted anyone..caue my erpsonality changed no one understood me...so i act the way i do...and it results in me being alone...i have never been loved before..all i knew was hate..."


He then looked at Kiki

"im sry...if i brought up old memories..but..i did my best to help you..even though you apprently didnt need it"

I smiled. "It is fine. After all, then that way...if you truly hate Rockets, then wouldn't you want to detest their wishes? Then, become kind. Lighten up. You are fine with us. Oh, and wouldn't you want to show your parents what a menace you became because of them?" I winked, and walked faster forward. Okay, so he's not all bad......like a candy with a soft filling, but a hard shell. Like a Shellder! I giggled at the thought, but kept moving, my torch(which we should be using anyway) flickering against the walls of the cave.

(Hey! me, Jimmy and Sentinel aren't even in the cave yet!)

"Special, Pokemon, you say?" Kon said, an eagar look in her eyes "Of course!" the man said, grinning so that his face looked like a fox's, "This is one of the rarest Pokemon in the world, worth millions. But for you, only $500!" the man continued "I'll take it!" Kon said. She gave the man $500 and the man thanked her, saying "You will not regret this." Kon, impatient to know what the rare Pokemon was, released it from the Pokeball. After the red light vanished, Kon saw that it was a.... Magikarp "What the heck?! A Magikarp! You tricked me!!" she turned to the man that sold her the Pokemon, but he was gone. She then proceeded to shout in Japanese at the man that wasn't there. After a few minutes of this, Kon stopped and returned the Magikarp to it's ball, saying "Stupid salesman. When I find him, he's gonna get it. But for know, I'll keep the fish. His name will be Ryuko."

(Haha! Kon got cheated! Oh yeah, Ryuko means 'rage'. I wager she named him this because she was mad at the Magikarp salesman for the bogus deal)

Jason knodded

and walked to Kon..nice magikarp you got there..it will be worth it though...gyrados is awesome..a little hard training and you'll be fine"

jason patted Kon on the back and walked up to Kiki

"are we rdy to go in yet?"

I sighed, looking away. "Well, why not?" I walked into the area, heading towards a set of stairs heading to the next level.

Jason followed close behind Kiki

"ghastly check up thsoe stairs see if theres any danger"

GHastly diappeared for abotu 30 seconds and came back

"nope nothing up there..alright lets go"

I looked back at Jason, and walked down. It was much darker down there, and my torch went out. Cursing twice in Japanese, I fumbled to find a match, but couldn't even see my hand in front of my face. I took this chance to let out my pokemon, making a shh motion on my lips, whether or not he could see it. Apparently he did, and he held out a hand. I took his, then held Jason's arm. "I can't see, but my pokemon can." I said, and let go. "I'm going to look ahead for any signs of light." I walked off before Jason could object, walking carefully in the dark, where the only noises were my feet and two pairs of breathing. I clutched my pokemon's hand tightly, if that was possibly without hurting myself.

Gary walked leisurely through the cave without much worry. Afterall, the only dramam so far was gone, right? He sighed heavily as they walked on a huge path that seemed somewhat unnatural. "Geeze...this thing looks man-made." He gaped at the long round walls which resembled that of a subway. How odd "Hey guys, any idea where we are? I can't see anything back here.........guys? GUYS?????" He looked around but saw nothing, either way he couldn't due to the darkness. "No...i must have gotten seperated." Gary searched around, he didn't even know which direction he was headed.

((Sorry, my mom wanted us to take pictures...ugh...but heres the list!))

((I already have my pokemon from the tunnels.))

I sighed. I had walked a while, and still nothing. All of a sudden, the ground beneath my advancing foot was gone, and I fell through the darkness about ten feet. It might not have been much, but I heard a dreadful crack noise and my foot was giving my blinding pain. I fumbled around, and felt my pokemon next to me. I did a silent cheer. He had followed me down here. I gulped, and finally spoke after a few minutes. "Di shou bu descae? (Are you alright?)" I waited a second. "Hiro?" Hiro was short for Hiroshi, which fit my tunnel pokemon. He responded by picking me up in his huge hands and placing me on his head. I held on as he went up, and he put me back down. He went through my pack, found a match, and lit it up. I sighed. I could see my young but already loyal Geodude's face. "Dude?" He asked, and I nodded. I got up and held his arm again, walking towards where we left Jason. I limped a little, but it wasn't very noticeable with this light, and with myself leaning on Hiro. I met Jason. "The path drops down about ten feet about 60 yards from here. Hiro can let us down. Let's go. Do we have everyone?" I asked, then made a head count, and groaned. "We lost Gary. Hold on. I'm the only person who has a pokemon with knowledge so I'll go find him. You can stay here, or leave to go ahead." I said to Jason, handing him a pack of matches. "I have spares."

Gary felt his way across the walls. still nothing. He felt a large rumble under his feet which got gradually louder. "What the...?" He heard a loud bellow which shook the cave, causing small rocks to fall from the ceiling. He quickly ran to one side and ducked. He could hear and feel what seemed to be a bus going past him, still bellowing. "What the...an Onix? I could try for it if I had anything more than just a Sandshrew and Kakuna." After it had gone and Gary felt no signs of return he got up and continued on his way. I sure hope they don't run into that thing

A walked through the tunnels with Hero, yelling Gary's name. When I heard the rumbling, Hero put me on him and followed it. He had asked the Onix to pass by Gary so that we could find him, and had done so. We were just glad it hadn't decided to attack him. Hero passed through the hallways, almost running into the back of Gary. When he turned, Hero went to his other side, and put me down. "Hello Gary." My voice came from sudden darkness, and I lit a match so that I could see him jump. I was not disappointed.

Gary turned and jumped once he saw Kiki. "Oh god you scared me!" He looked to Hero. "I'm guessing that's yours?" He smirked as he spoke. "By the way, thanks for finding me. Where is everyone?"

I pointed behind him. "I dunno how you got lost, but you sure did a good job. Let's go already." I sat on Hero as he passed Gary and floated outside of this tunnel, leading to the one we had been in.

Gary vaguely saw the others and nodded hoping that they'd seen him. "so..anyone have a clue as to how to get out of this place?" He looked around for suggestions and they began walking along the same path. Aways down, Gary thought he could see the floor moving. Once they'd moved closer he saw that it was strange little crab-spider pokemon picking mushrooms and placing them on their back. "What the heck are they??" Gary looked at them disguisted.

I blinked. "Paras. It is a grass-slash-poison pokemon. The mushrooms on it's back can be used for herbal medicines. It's power and medicine use gets bigger once it evolves into Parasect, who has one large mushrom on it's back." I answered almost robotically, and threw my hands to my mouth. I had said too much. I then changed the subject. "It would be a useful pokemon, considering your team. Oh, and be careful, there's a--" Too late. Paras was on the other side, and Gary had almost landed in the hole. I had held Gary's shirt, and Hiro held me, and pulled Gary back up here. I stared at Gary, who I saw only from the dim match in between our faces. "I guess the warning came too late." Hiro took Kon and one of the boys, I didn't see through, onto the other side, then Jason and Gary, and finally me. I stayed on his head, and looked back at the hole. "Hey Gary, the Paras is still there." I pointed to it.

Gary waved his hand at it. "Yeah, I guess it is. By the way, thanks for that save." He brushed himself off and walked away, checking for the hole. After a long process of wandering through tunnels and climbing up and down oddly places ladders, he'd seen a light at the end of the tunnel. "There!" He pointed and the group ran for it. He gasped. The he'd seen wasn't the door, but a voltorb. "Hey! Just who are you?" Gary looked at him disappointedly. "We thought your Voltorb was the light out of here. "well it's not! The boy pushed Gary unto the ground and walked past the others. Gary was about to get up but was stunned by a glowing rock next to him. "What the...it's beautiful" He picked up the blue glowing rock and placed it in his pocket.

I stopped in front of the rude boy. He tried to get past me without pushing, but I moved in front of him. "Apologize." I said simply, arms crossed. "No way!" Shouted the boy, and he tried to get past me again. I blocked him. "Don't make me hurt you." He threatened. My face remained emotionless. I yawned. The boy got angry. "Move aside!" He pushed me against the wall, and I pulled on the back of his shirt, and Hiro got ahead of him. "What is your problem?!" The boy yelled. I answered him as if he was an idiot. "There is a ten-foot drop a few feet in front of you. Trust me. I've been down there." I said, and the boy paled, whether I could see it or not. "Okay, okay." He said, putting his hands up in a way of defense. He turned to Gary. "Sorry, dude. Okay? Sorry." I let go, nodded to Hiro, and he picked up the boy and flew him to the other side. He then returned, and helped Gary up. "Dude?" He asked, making sure the human was okay.

Gary stood up with a large buldge in his pocket. ((Shut up!)) "THanks, Kiki. I'm fine." He looked at the boy. You'd better be...i was really hoping for a battle though. He half-frowned and kept going. "I guess that wasn't it afterall..."

(Gah!)

Kon, after venturing most of the cave blindly, finally said "Come out, Kyouko, we need your fire." the Charmander was released from her ball and looked at her trainer curiously "We need to use the fire on your tail as a light through the cave, all right, Kyouko?" Kon explained. Kyouko nodded and walked out a little ways in front of the rest of the group. Kon turned to them and said "There, now we will be able to see better."

((I'm just going to say I caught a Jigglypuff & released Fang))

Ray followed closely behind, glad that their was light. "Do any of you have any idea where we are?"

Gary slouched. "We should be near the end. At least I hope so." He thought for a moment and watched as the flame went further away. We should be at least. "He guys, wait up!" Gary ran back to the rest of the group. "Sorry guys, I was thinking a bit." He saw a dim light at the end of the tunnel. Probably just another trainer. He sighed and saw the light grow as they got closer.

I walked quietly behind the others, holding on to Hiro tightly as he held my weight to keep me off of my ankle. I accidentally hit a rock one time, and bit my tongue while almost crying out. It came out as a grunt, and I leaned over a bit. Wincing, I straightened up and looked around as if nothing had happened. Crap. It had better not be sprained.....

Gary turned to look at her. "Hey, are you okay? We're almost out now i can see a light. Do you need help or can you make it?" He pointed to the exit.

Kon looked at Kiki and said "I could carry you if you need me to, Kiki. It's never good to put pressure on a sprained ankle. I know, that happened to me before 'cause I was walking and my foot got stuck in a hole. It hurt like heck." she stuck her tounge out innocently "I guess I am a bit accident prone, heheh..."

(That happened to me, I was skipping and got my foot stuck in a hole. I'm more of a clutz than Kon! )

(Hello? Where'd everyone go?)
