"It could be. I know how it feels to be left out.." Ryka answered, drifting off in thoughts of her own childhood. "Trust me, you will feel like running away. But why would she?" She asked, searching in a few bushes.
Blitz purred as Kasiya stroked his fur. When he heard them talking about a girl, he looked at Kassie with a questioning look.

"You've got friends like us now," Jaeshan said to Ryka, watching her look around. "You don't have to feel left out anymore." His smile was genuine. Mightyena yipped in reply, walking around with the girl to help look.
"You remember Shocker, don't you, Blitz?" Kasiya reminded the Pikachu. "You guys became friends really quickly just a few days ago."
"Kassie, I have an idea," Jaeshan said suddenly. "Why don't we release Butterfree and Fang, and send them off to scout? You could get Growly to sniff her out as well."
"I never think straight when I'm distraught," Kassie laughed, wiping a tear out of her eye. "That's a great plan." They released the Pokemon, and after giving their orders, they went off in separate directions. Kasiya sat down to think about Shocker's odd behavior.

"I know. and I'm thankful for every friend that I have." Ryka flashed a smile at them. "But we can talk about this some other time." She said with a small laugh.
Blitz shook his head wildly, and jumped right off Kasiya's shouder to help look. He seemed very determined to find Shocker, for he was running all over the place, looking everywhere.
"Good idea!" Ryka said, pulling out two more pokeballs. Aurora and Twilight came out of them. Aurora walked over and purred at Ryka, and Twilight sat down, looking at the sky. "Vixen, get over here."
'I don't want to.' She replied with a grunt, still laying on the ground. Ryka rolled her eyes and went over to pick her up, then put her with the rest of her Pokemon.
"Now, I want all of you to help Kassie find her Pikachu, ok?" Ryka said, pointing at Kasiya. They all nodded and went off in their own directions. Vixen immediately walked up to Blitz and picked him up by her teeth, and dragged him over to Ryka.
'Can I sleep now?' She yawned. Ryka laughed and sent them looking again.

Jaeshan burst out laughing. "She has quite a sense of humor, doesn't she?" he said.
Kasiya stared at the ground, a few wet spots appearing by her feet. Stupid tears, she thought bitterly. Why am I always crying!? She felt a cold nose press up against her shoulder, and she turned to see Growly crouched down beside her. The mighty Arcanine nudged his head back towards the gym, indicating that he'd found something. "What is it?" she asked, looking in the direction he was pointing. "What did you find?"
"Arc!" he jumped up, and then crouched down again for her to climb on his back. She did, and he stood up, carrying her towards the gym.
"You're so warm. And soft," she commented, trying to hold on but not pull out his fur at the same time.
"I think Growly's found something!" Jaeshan called to the rest of the group. "He's heading towards the gym!"
"Just wait!" Kasiya called back. "I don't want to scare Shocker into running away again. I'll be right back, I promise!"

"Ok, but if you need us, we'll be here." Ryka told Kasiya. "Good luck!"
Ryka turned to Jaeshan. "Yeah, sense of humor.." Ryka stared at Vixen. "She'll always be the stuborn old goat she is now, I suppose."
'I heard that!' Vixen growled with one eye open.

"Are you ever going to evolve her into a Ninetales?" Jaeshan asked, bending down to pay the 'goat' some attention. "You're a lovely girl, aren't you?" he cooed.
Growly carried Kasiya down the street on his back with no effort at all. Kasiya had never considered riding on his back, but it certainly was a comfy ride. "You amaze me more every second," she said, scratching him behind his ear. He'd come a very long way from the rough and tumble, untrusting Growlithe she'd first met.
They neared the gym, and Kasiya expected him to stop, but he didn't. Instead, Growlly picked up speed and kept running, his large paws not making much noise on the ground at all. "Where...where are we going?" she asked, watching the city fly by. She couldn't believe how fast he could run!

"I would, but I don't have a Fire stone, and I'd lik eher to learn all of her attacks. But i'll let her choose when she wants to evolve." Ryka answered.
'Yes, I know I'm lovely. Give the goat some attention, won't ya?' Vixen answered him, standing up and streching, and licking his hand.
"Oh yeah, you love everyone BUT me." Ryka said, rolling her eyes.

"They don't cost much," he said, picking the Vulpix up gently. "Now now," he said, looking from Vixen to Ryka. "A bond between a Pokemon and its Trainer is vital. If you don't learn to respect her, you guys are going to have a tough time in the future." He smiled. "Give her a chance, and you guys can be an unstoppable team!"
Growly finally stopped on the outskirts of town. Kasiya looked around to see a familiar sight - Diglett's Cave. "In here?" she asked the Arcanine.
"Arc," he replied, bending low so she could slide off.
"Okay," she said, sighing and entering the cavern. The air was dry and dusty, as she and her Arcanine made their way through the cave. "This floor's unstable," she said, her steps tentative. "Growly, return for now. I don't want you falling through and hurting yourself." He returned without a fuss, he couldn't argue with her logic.
"Shocker?" she called. "Are you in here?"
She wasn't sure, but she thought she could hear a "Chu!" echoing from deeper in the cave. She grit her teeth and continued on.

"Yeah, you're right." Ryka said with a smile. "Thanks, Jaeshan."
'I know that I SHOULD like her,' Vixen started saying with a shrug-like gesture, but hey, it's in my nature to be sassy. I can't help it. I'll give her a try though. Maybe she'll just rub off on me.' She said, with what looked like a smile appearing on her face. Ryka picked Vixen up and hugged her. 'Hey! I never said I wanted to be loved to death!'

Jaeshan laughed at the look on Vixen's face when Ryka picked her up. He wasn't sure, but he thought he saw what could pass for a smile on the Vulpix's face.
Kasiya made her way through the cave slowly. After about a hundred feet or so, she called again. "Shocker...?"
This time she heard it for sure. "Chuu!" It seemed to come from in front of her. She walked a bit more, coming across a small hole in the floor. It was too dark to see down, so she pulled out her flashlight and clicked it on, peering into the darkness. "Chu?" The light fell upon a mouselike-creature.
"Hey, you're...!" she said, looking confused. A the bottom of a hole sat a Raichu, looking very scared and lost. It seemed it had been exploring the cave, and fell through a weak spot in the floor. "Are you okay?" she called down to it. It nodded. "But you're stuck...Hmm." She looked around for a way to get the Raichu out, but could see no solutions. She had no rope. "Jaeshan's Weepinbell! It has Vine Whip!" she said aloud. "I'll go get Jaeshan...and.."
"Chuu!" the Raichu protested. It didn't want to be left alone.
"Um, okay. I'll stay with you. Ariel!" she cried, letting her Vaporeon loose. "Go back and get Jaeshan and Ryka! We need their help!" she said. Ariel nodded, and dashed out of the cave, running back to the spot where they'd left their friends.

Ryka turned vixen around, so that they were looking at each other. "So, do you want to evolve?"
Vixen looked ready to answer, but her eyes fell opon a Vaporeon, who was running towards them. "Ariel?" Ryka asked the Vaporeon. "What are you doing here? And where's Kassie?"

"I think she wants us to go with her," Jaeshan said.
"Poorere! Porre!" she cried, and started running again.
"Let's go, Ryka!" he called. "I think Kassie needs our help!" He started to follow the Vaporeon as she ran back towards Diglett's Cave. Fang and Butterfree were back as well, and they rejoined the party.

"Ok." Ryka said with anod. "come on guys!" She called to her pokemon. Aurora, Twilight, and Blitz stopped looking and ran after the two trainers.
They all kept running until they came to a small cave entrance. Ariel went in, so Ryka shrugged and followed.

Jaeshan followed Ryka into the cave. "Kasiya?" he called, looking around.
"Jaeshan!" she called back. "Ryka! I'm back here! But be careful! The floor is weak in this place because of all the Diglett tunneling here!"
She flashed the light to show where she was. "Jaeshan, I need Weepinbell over here! There's a Raichu stuck in a hole down here. But I don't want you guys to fall too, so be careful!"
"Okay," he said, sending out the Flycatcher. Weepinbell hopped over to Kasiya, awaiting his orders.
"Can you use your Vine Whip to grab Raichu from the hole?" she asked, shining the light on the Raichu again.

Ryka slowly stepped forward, hoping not to fall through the soft ground beneath her. She could feel Jaeshan creeping slowly behind her. They went forward until they were a few feet away from Kasiya. Ryka could see the flashlight, and the hole, where a large Weepinbell and throwing some vines down to get the Raichu back up. But when she stepped again, Ryka's foot fell through the ground. Her whole body feel through the hole and she landed with a thump. She looked up to see the hole she just fell through.
Uh oh..
((Trying to make it interesting xP))
