>Emma's pov<

"Should we stop here?" I asked my four Pokemon by my side.

Hope shook her head. ~We have to keep moving. Silver and the others are expecting us in Nacrain tomorrow.~

I sighed and nodded, continuing to walk with Hope and Trust by my side, Faith on my head and Melody on my shoulder it had been about three days since Silver had agreed to let me go off on my own but only two hours ago since I'd separated with the others, leaving Night with them cause I had the sneaking suspicion that Silver thought I was just trying to leave again but by giving him Night and her Pokéball he'd know that I'd meet back up with him.

I pulled my hood further over my face and looked forward to see a random person standing on the path. I continued to walk, keeping my head down so as not to appear suspicious.

"Excuse me miss. I'm detective Looker from the international police." My heart skipped a beat but I kept my cool hoping he didn't know who I was.  "Have you seen this person? I've been asked to help locate her."

He had grey hair and was wearing a brown coat. He held out a wanted poster to me. I studied the picture and wasn't surprised to see myself in the picture.

I shook my head. "Sorry never seen her before."

"Are you sure miss?" He asked.

I nodded. "But I'll keep my eye out. Now I'm sorry but I really must go, I'm meeting up with some friends." I went to walk again but Looker stopped me.

"Could you please remove your hood?" He said suspiciously.

I looked at my feet. "I would prefer not..." I quickly thought of and excuse. "I have a bad burn scar from a training accident and I don't like people to see it."

Perfect.

He looked at me suspiciously before stepping out of the way. "It's alright. Please call if you see anything."

I nodded. "Sure. I can do that." I started walking again, trying not to look suspicious.

Once we were a good distance away I sighed with relief. "That was to close."

Hope and Trust nodded. We walked for a bit longer, making sure that no one was following me before I started to hum myself a tune then start singing along with the words.

There's a girl livin' in this town
She's got her head up in the sky
But her feet are on the ground
There's a girl livin on my street
She knows outside her little world
Somehow ends are gonna meet
And when the road gets kinda rough
She keeps one thing in mind
The longest journey always starts with one step at a time

And this girl's seen a lot of pain
But this girl's gonna smile again
She knows that a flower grows every time it rains
And this girl's got a lot of dreams
She knows that tomorrow's ain't what it seems
She might not solve a mystery tonight
But this girl's gonna be alright

There's a girl walkin' in these shoes
And she knows that everything she's got is all she's got to lose
There's a dream right behind these eyes
And she finds a reason to be strong
With every tear she dries
Tryin' hard to fight the way things are
So she leaves her world behind
When the sound of doubt is turned up so loud
She turns the music up inside

And this girl's seen a lot of pain
But this girl's gonna smile again
She knows that a flower grows every time it rains
And this girl's got a lot of dreams
She knows that tomorrow's ain't what it seems
She might not solve a mystery tonight
No no no no
But this girl's gonna be alright

Alright, oh no no, hmmm

She knows there's so much she's never seen
But time will allow her to find out what it means

Nooo

And this girl's seen a lot of pain
But this girl's gonna smile again
She knows that a flower grows every time it rains
And this girl's got a lot of dreams
She knows that tomorrow's ain't what it seems
No no no no
She might not solve a mystery tonight
But this girl's gonna be alright

Alright, alright
But this girl's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

I hummed a little more when I heard footsteps sinking with my own. I kept humming but glanced at Mel who nodded, glancing behind her. (Emma can see invisible legendaries to those who forgot)

She flew off my shoulder and went back the way we came to see what was happening.

~Emma, watch out!~ Melody's voice erupted into my head and I instinctively dropped to the floor just as a dart flew over my head, embedding itself into a tree.

I turned around and saw the man, Looker, holding a tranquilliser gun pointed at me. My hood fell back, revealing my face to the police member.

"What the hell!" I yelled, standing up and kicked a stone at him that hit him directly on the forehead.

"Come quietly Miss Emma and no one gets hurt." He said rubbing his forehead.

"No one gets hurt!? NO ONE GETS HURT!" I yelled. "I'll get hurt. You'll kill me one way or another!"

Hmm, maybe I am bipolar...

"Calm down Miss." He said. "I just want to talk."

I glared at him from under my hood. "We'll I don't. I want to be left alone for Arceus sake!"

"I'm sorry but that is impossible. Now give yourself up. I have backup on its way."

I pulled Thunder's Pokéball off my belt and held it up. "Never."

As soon as I said that I was pushed to the ground and a smooth thingy was pressed against my back. My back was badly bruised from Rioyaru's old pack members. I groaned in pain, struggling to move or even breath from the pressure on my lungs. I looked up to see a Ferrathorn holding me down.

Damn it.

I let Thunder out and he tackled the steel/grass type off me. I turned around to face Looker, panting hard. With help from Melody, I stood back up, glaring at Looker in slight fear.

I turned back to make sure that Thunder was doing okay but I had my back turned to Looker I felt a prick in my arm and saw a dart in it.

I ripped it out and crushed it under my foot but I knew it was to late, the contents had already been emptied into my blood, it wouldn't be long before I was knocked out by it.

"Give up now?" He asked.

I shook my head and started to feel dizzy. Thunder took my side having won the battle with Ferrathorn. I whimpered slightly, feeling my breathing increase I placed my hand on his back to keep myself steady. Melody, Faith, Hope and Trust took the job protecting me, growling at Looker angrily.

I slumped over Thunder's back as the dart effects took full effects on me. I saw Hope and Trust get hit with the darts before I blanked out fully.

Well it's not. ^_^

No cliffy... yet

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

I flickered my eyes open to be met with a grey steel wall. My head was thumping and I had a ringing sound in my ears. I raise my hand to rub it but heard a slightly clinking noise as I moved. I looked down at my wrists to see that they were in steel cuffs.

When I moved my neck I herd the clicking to. I raised my hand to touch my neck. My fingertips brushed against metal. I sat up, trying to stop myself from hyperventilating as the events of what must of been hours came back to me. I gasped, pushing myself against the wall, squeezing my eyes tightly shut.

I felt tears burn in my eyes, I couldn't take this again. I shook my head making the metal collar around my neck clink and clang as the chains connected to it rattled. I followed the chains to a large nail thing driven into the ground.

I hesitantly raised my fingers to my arm and felt my face pale when I felt a familiar black, metal band around it.

A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly brushed it away. I checked for my Pokéballs and wasn't surprised when I couldn't find them. I reached into my pocket and breathed a small sigh of relief when I felt two small round objects hidden in some stitching of my jumpers pocket.

So I still had my backup. Meaning I could escape. But what about my Pokemon? I wouldn't leave them here... What if I convinced the them to send my Pokemon to Silver...? That could work and then use my secret weapon to leave this nightmare, hopefully before anything happened

And plan B? I would get the hidden Pokemon to get my other Pokemon out then come back for me when they were safe.

I agreed with my plans but couldn't stop myself from shaking. I was scarred out of my wits and if my plans failed... then I would never get out of here alive.

I curled into a ball and waited for someone to come, not knowing this was really my end or if I'd ever get. Tears fell freely into my knees but I didn't care, I just wanted to be free again. Free from my entire life.

*sighs* I'm so mean >:P

Take a wild guess at where Emma is. I bet 95% will get it right the other 5% are completely lost.

SMG SIGHING OFF!!!
