>Silver's Pov

"Silver! The boat docks in an hour!" Destiny shouted from my door.

I put down the book I'd been  reading and looked out the window at the advancing Unova region. I placed my bookmark in my book and tucked it in the front pocket of my bag. I picked up the two photo frames off my bed side looking at them briefly before placing them in my bag.

The first was in a silver frame. It was of my when I was about 5 and Emma who was about 3. Emma was in a Pichu onesie with her thumb in her mouth, with goofy grin on her face.

The second was more recent, taken just over a year ago at the Sinnoh league when we went out for dinner before she left. Emma had her arm around my neck and her head in my shoulder with Melody on her own shoulder. Faith was on my head and Hope and Trust were looking up from the bottom.

I smiled at the memory's. We all missed Emma, but she hasn't talked to any of us in 6 months and no one knew where she was. So Destiny, Red, Sora, Rafe and I had agreed to travel to Unova together since it was one of two regions Emma hasn't been to yet so there was a 50% chance she was there. None of knew why Emma had stopped talking to us or why she just disappeared but we all wanted to know why.

I placed the second photo in my bag gently and walked out of my room to meet up with the others who were already in the lounge room.

Destiny and Sora were having a casual conversation on the small lounge that sat in the sitting room joined with the dining room and kitchen. Red and Rafe were having a quiet debate about whether Blazikan was better then Charizard, though I couldn't tell who had the upper hand in said debate. I myself prefer water type Pokémon to fire type.

"Are we going?" I asked the other four people in the room.

They all looked at me and one by one nodded or agreed we'd go. So we all got up and walked towards the deck above.

An hour later we were off the boat at Castelia City and started to make our way towards Pinwheel forest since we were told that Professor Juniper wanted to talk to us about something once we got to Unova. Though I had been told that there was something wrong with Pinwheel lately, I didn't know what was going on but I was curious to find out.

It didn't take long to find the entrance to the forest and once we were in there was an instant contrast in mood. I got an uneasy feeling in my gut, as if we were being watched. I ignored it as we continued to walk.

For a while it was deathly silent, only the rare scuffling of forest Pokémon broke though the early afternoon light. I felt eyes burning into my back and paranoia took over and I turned around to look behind me, catching a glimpse of some purple and black thing before it disappeared.

"You feel it to?" Red asked.

I nodded. "Someone's watching us."

There was a sudden explosion some ways away that shook the ground a little.

"What was that?" Destiny asked, looking around as if trying to find the source.

I shrugged. "A battle possibly?"

Destiny didn't look to convinced.

We continued to walk through the forest in silence, the feeling of being watched disappeared a while ago, after the explosion. We watched the Pokemon, none came near us though, they just kind of watched as if curious about what we'd do, or judging if we were a threat.

A flash of black and white made us stop, Destiny fell as well since she had been leading us. There was a Zebstika standing in the middle of our path with a baby Blitzel.

The Zebstrika gave us a confuse look and then one of panic. Those sapphire eyes looked farmiliar... maybe its just cause Emma has sapphire eyes. ~Come on Dreamer.~ The Zebstrika mumbled, nudging the smaller Pokémon at its side.

~But my feet are sooooooooore.~ The smaller Pokémon whined as it was guided back to the forest by its elder.

~Now.~ Zebstrika mumbled sternly. ~We have to find your mummy.~

~Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!~ The little one yelled as it bolted followed by the taller stripped Pokémon.

"What was that all about?" Sora asked looking in the direction the Zebstrika went.

"No idea, though that was strange... it looked as though it recognised us for a moment." Rafe replied.

"It was probably just trying to get back with it's heard." I mumbled being the only one who could understand what they said. This ability came for Emma being the Voice of Purity. No one knew why I had her ability to understand Pokéspeach, we just knew I could.

The others seemed sceptical but agreed hesitantly. "Let's keep going and talk to professor Juniper in Nacrene City. It might have something to do with the strange happenings going on in this forest lately." I said, trying to get moving again.

The others agreed and we continued out way through the forest.

~*~*~

When we arrived in Nacrene City there was a made in a brightly coloured robe speaking to a crowd of people about something random but whatever it was, nobody seemed to agree. I really wasn't paying attention though, probably some 'the world will end Torus-crap'.

"Silver look at that!" Red pointed a little a way and what looked like a battle between some crazy dude wearing a knight outfit and some yellow Pokemon I couldn't see clearly. "Is it jus me or is that Sparkle?"

I looked at the yellow Pokemon, squinting against the light of the sun but sure enough  it was Emma's Pichu Sparkle, but she looked incredibly weak from battle, struggling to stay standing.

I grabbed my Honchkrow's Pokéball and threw it at the battle, knowing that Sparkle would know where my little sister was. "Air slash!" I called to my dark and flying Pokémon.

My Pokemon obeyed and knocked out the Sandile before it landed in front of Sparkle protectively spreading his wings between the two. Sparkle seemed quiet surprised to see us and reluctantly let us take her to the Pokemon centre.

After she was healed by Nurse Joy we took her outside to question her about Emma. She was sitting on my shoulder looking around frowning as if something was right with being outside, her ears kept twitching in different directions as if not sure what was going to happen.

She noticed someone approaching and hid behind my back when a man with green hair came to speak with us.

"Excuse me sir, but may I have that Pichu on your shoulder? She belongs to a friends of mine." He smiled falsely.

She looked back at the green haired man but held onto me tightly. ~FRIEND! Ha, yeah right! You're no friend of Emma's N fuck off!~ She yelled while glaring at him and sparks flew from her cheeks.

The green hair man, N, glared at her and attempted to take her but I took a step back and raised my hand to protect her from him. "I'm sorry but I can't do that." I said knowing something was wrong.

He looked quiet surprised by my refusal. "I need to return her to a friend. Now please hand her over."

"Then we're at a misunderstanding, cause..." I started but Sparkle slammed her paws over my mouth, shaking her head while giving me an apologetic and desperate look.

She then leapt from my shoulder onto the N's head and took off running with the added speed of a Quick Attack the man with the green hair cursed and followed trying not to allow the small yellow Pokemon to get away. We tried to follow but soon lost both.

"Let's split up, we have to check everywhere on a lead on Emma, cause if Sparkle's here i would be willing to bet anything that Emma is nearby." Red suggested determinedly.

We all agreed and started to search, agreeing to meet up at the Pokemon centre later.

Who was that man and what did he want with Sparkle? Did he know what happened to Emma? Why didn't Sparkle like him? Did he have anything to do with the man in the knight outfit?

So many questions with no answers, but there were two things that I was almost positive of.

1. N was bad news

2. Emma was in danger and we were going to help her.

>Emma's Pov, about 3 hour earlier>

I was knocked forward as an explosion from behind shook the ground and shockwaves swept my feet from under me. I pushed myself up and took off running again despite the agonising pain now shooting though my rib cage.

Blade leapt down from a tree and fired multiple Shadow balls at the advancing Growlith's and other Pokemon before chasing after me, easily keeping up with. I gritted my teeth in pain as tears began falling, I was no aware of the blood dripping out of an open wound on my side but I couldn't stop until I'd lost the pursuers on my tail.

I ran into a clearing with a lake in the middle and dived in after seeing Rina swimming up to meet me. I didn't have a chance to take in a breath and my lungs burned immediately after entering the water. My vision blurred as my lungs screamed for air and my brain yells at me to get out as the memories of my past came to hunt my once again. Then as if by I felt Aquarina's smooth back under my finger tips and she dashed straight off to get me to my cave.

I held onto her tight as I struggled to stay awake. After what seemed like an eternity, our heads broke the surface and I took in lungfuls of air as I dragged myself off Aquarina's back.

~What happened this time?~ Hope asked concerned as she ran over from talking to Twilight, Faith and a couple of my other Pokemon.

I ignored her and continued soothing my burning lungs as well as coughing up a few mouthfuls of water I'd taken in.

~Should I tell her?~ Twilight asked making her way over to us with Faith.

"Tell me what?" I asked looking up from we're I was hyperventilating

~May as well now.~ Hope rolled her eyes.

~I saw Silver, and the others.~ She announced.

Oh crap.
