I'm SO sorry I haven't been writing recently! I'm trying my best, I promise :/

Shadow POV

Glide was happy to help us.

Our little Spearow friend kept jumping around us, saying, "Wow, this is lot of Pokemon! I know the Snivy and the Zorua- but now there's an Absol, a Torchic, um, a Lucario, a Gardevoir, um, an Espeon, and a Staraptor!" He grinned. "I think we've got a building for eight. Come on!"

    After our group had dragged ourselves past the mountains, which took maybe a full day, because some of us were tired and injured, we had walked into the thick forest calling for Glide. When he finally appeared, he had brought us back to the Spear Sanctuary. Sapphire and I stayed silent, trying not to make eye contact.

    "Lovebirds," Asha whispered to us, grinning. She seemed absolutely thrilled that Sapphire and I had kissed- and she was the only one who saw. "You are so cute together."

     Sapphire blushed, as did I.

    Glide finally directed us to a big building. It was tall and circular, and made of sticks. The roof was made out of leaves.

    "Lucky for us, there are exactly eight spots in there," Glide said brightly. "Alright, bye now."

    He took off, and we went inside.

    There was about five or six nest-beds on the ground, made of of soft leaves. Then there was a rope ladder, leading up to platforms and ledges along the walls. It was neat.

    Starry struggled up the ladder and collapsed on one of the ledges. She was badly injured- she had been hit by a Dark Orb and was dizzy from the mountain journey. She assured us that the second she got better, she would fly back to the Snow Camp, her home.

    Everyone else chose beds. Starry, Aurora, and Asha chose the ledges, so everyone else curled up on the ground. Torch looked ready to faint, and I could only notice as Dare helped him to his nest.

After several minutes of complete silence, Asha said, "well, now what?"

There was a pause. "Well, after this Starry's leaving..." Dare said. "And then..." He fell silent.

"We've really got ourselves stuck, haven't we," Gardevoir said softly. Everyone nodded in agreement.

    Suddenly Aurora said, "I can't believe Flicker's gone."

    Everyone else mumbled and sighed. I squinted. "Flicker? The Charmander? Yeah, um, what the heck was that about?"

    Asha leaned over her ledge above me. "Okay, so when we were at the Snow Camp, this little Charmander who was obviously in love with Aurora was like "oh yeah sure I'll join your squad". And then we saved your butt and he completely bailed on us like the little twerp he is."

    "Oh." I blinked. "Um. Okay." I coughed. "Sorry about... You know... Leaving you like that? Yeah. Sorry Dare."

    "It's fine," Dare replied quietly. "I understand."

    He stood up. "For one, I think we should find Julie."

There were several nods. "Sounds good to me," Sapphire said.

Okay, I thought. We've got this.

I think.

Julie POV

Liana's Master Ball burst open.

Oh my god.

Oh my FREAKING god.

I backed up quickly as the giant form of Reshiram appeared. He growled fiercely, flapping his wings.

"Reshiram," Liana said smugly. "Get her."

Reshiram's blue eyes met mine. I stared at him.

"Don't do this," I said hoarsely, but I could barely hear myself.

Reshiram growled at me.

Reshiram POV

The girl in front of me looked shocked.

I was wondering why she wasn't running yet, because the two guards had completely bailed and were out the door. The two creepy Zoroarks followed the guards. I could hear Liana behind me, laughing.

"I'm not 'getting' anyone," I snarled.

"Oh yes you are," Liana said sweetly, and I was the one who was now shocked. She heard me?

I turned to her, and she held up the Master Ball for me to see. "Do it, Reshiram, or something might happen to your friends... Perhaps Jirachi... And you would hate it if something were to happen to Mew..."

I growled. It was the Legendaries or this girl.

I looked at the girl.

Run.

I don't know if she heard me or not- but the girl spun around and left the room in a blur.

"No!" Liana screamed. "Get her!"

Julie POV

I ran for my life.

I shoved startled people aside as I sprinted towards the exit. I couldn't tell if anyone was chasing me- probably- but all I knew was that the exit was right there, in front of me.

There was an ear-splitting roar from Reshiram. It sounded far behind me.

One lady tried to grab me, but I ducked under her hand and into the tunnel. There weren't any people here.

And suddenly, broad daylight shone into my eyes.

I wasn't used to it.

I stumbled slightly, but successfully I darted into the woods, ducking behind a large boulder. My eyes were watering. I took several deep breaths.

Liana has the bracelet... Those Zoroarks are helping her...

And she's trying to get Aurora and her team.
