Echo watched Shadow slide to a small berry pile and picked up a Sitrus berry with his shadow claws and put it under his cloak to eat. "Poor Shadow. His parents were killed by ghost type haters. They must have been friends with Static." Echo turned to the small berry pile. There wasn't many berries left in the pile. "Hm... Maybe I should go out and collect some more berries for everyone."

She slid towards Cheshire. "Cheshire..."

"What is it, Echo?"

"I'm going to go out in the woods to collect more berries..." Echo said.

Shadow overheard this. "No! You cannot leave. What if those Ghost type haters find you and kill you? What if that Pikachu finds you?"

"Don't worry, Shadow. I'll be fine. Someone must look for some berries so no ghost type will starve."

"Echo is right. If she says she'll be fine then I guess she'll-"

"I will be fine. I promise. I'm stronger than I look." Echo said.

"Okay, then. Just be careful, Youngster." Cheshire decided.

"Well I'll be off. I'll be right back I promise." Echo told them before leaving the house.

Echo slid through the forest to look for berries. She suddenly notices something yellow that catches her eyes. She slides towards it to investigate only to gasp upon who she saw. It was a certain Pikachu. Stella to be exact.

"You!!" She growled.

Static turns around holding a Pecha berry in her paw. She grins widely and giggles. "Ah... If it isn't Echo, fancy seeing you here. I thought the Starter Squad took care of you and all those pathetic ghost types in town by now." She said taking a bite out of the berry. Echo slapped Static's paw with a Shadow Claw, making her drop the berry in surprise.

"You lied! You ran away to make the Starter Squad think you were missing and you put the blame on the ghost types for your disappearance, especially me. You tried to get the ghost types exiled so you set this whole thing up. You little fool!! We didn't do anything to you! Now you will pay!! I am not afraid of you fool! I fear only that infernal Squad Of yours. Stupid Squad. But I am a ghost type. I swear it... I shall fear no mere Starter Squad member. I must say I despise the way you treated all my friends. Don't imagine that I'll flee... I'll fight you like a true ghost." Echo replied.
