The Crystal Flute

My eyes met Kyra's, as I sniffed the air and tears began to roll down my cheeks. Oh, Kyr... I dunno what'd I do if I lost you.

{Miss Kyra,} Solice began, bowing her head, {It was my pleasure to safeguard Avi for you. The poor fellow was near death, and I don't think that the Hybrid Full Restore did anything for him. This little weasel's got spunk and sheer willpower to live; and, if I may interject, seems to be driven to fight off Death with the very thought of you.}

{Sol, please,} I said quietly. {We're just friends.}

{Cody and I seem to think differently, weasel boy,} Solice replied stiffly.

{Well, I do love her... but she's like a sister to me, especially after Keiren...} I hung my head and cried a few more tears.

{Avi...} Solice wiped my eyes with her front right paw. {I know. Tragedy is turning you into a soft-hearted being. Please, for Miss Kyra's sake, don't ail anymore for your losses. Turn these events into your fighting energy.}

{I... you're right, Sol,} I exclaimed, giving her a half-smile, then turning to Kyra to show her that I would recover. {Kyr, Cody... did he seem at all to be trying to set off a spark between us? If he is, then... I think it might... I mean, I...} I began to blush; I didn't know how to say it, so I stopped trying to. My face flushed crimson as I turned my head to my right, attempting to hide my feelings...
 
Kyra blinked and looked at Claire."How do I feel about all this? Well....I'm not a fan of all the yhbrids, but I'm determined to get the pieces of the crystal flute." She said a determined look now in her eyes.

When she heard Avi's voice she turned to face him again."Well,....I-I mean...it kind of....uh..seems like he is...I mean..." Kyra was getting nervous. When she gets nervous she studders a lot and avoids eye contact. That's what was happening now. Kyra's face was red and she wouldn't look Avi in the eye. Her words came out studdered too. "I....mean...maybe....I..."

Star was on Kyra's shoulder. {I think so.} She remarked in their heads.

"No one asked you." Kyra said feeling her necklace for Star's pokeball. "Oh...yeah..." She muttered when she felt it wasn't there. "Forgot about that."

Star shrugged simply. {Look on the bright side! At least now I can bug you 24/7} Star thought with a kind of smile.

"Yay. I'm so happy." Kyra said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.

" I know how you feel doll, it's horrible what they're doing to these people" Claire replied to Kyra and then in a voice that you might to talk to a child with she said " But dont worry, We're going to make this all better". Claire tryed to relax herself by sitting down and drinking some 'Gingerale' but it just wasn't working tonight, she sighed to herself feeling all down and depressed about this sadder of missions. She ussaly wasn't the one that was easy to frighten or sadden or even make angry but Team rocket was making her feel all of those emotions and she didn't like it one bit.

AJ had been walking around camp thinking of something to do with his extra time, he couldn't sleep that was for sure. What if Team Rocket attacked? I don't want to become a hybrid he thought to himself, he would stay up and keep watch then and mabye drink a little 'Gingerale'. AJ then smiled and went to find some.
 
"Okay fine. I might feel better in the morning." said Cain. The skarmory hybrid tired to find confort on the ground before flying off to a tree. Yoshi just went to his little sister CK and began to make sleep in a sleeping bag.

Mike nodded and yarn. He then looked at Amanda and asked. "So you are going to sleep?" He began to pull out his sleeping bag. Char walked next to Mike and sat next to him.

Amanda looked at MIke and said, "Later. I just trying to think something out." She then sat against a tree and said, "This is just something that I am worry about. If something happen it will be my fault."

Mike looked at Amanda then went into his sleeping bag. He had his charizard next to him and fell alseep too.
 
Yoshi watched from a cover as another Rocket released PHT gas into the air, and watched helplessly as it headed towards his unwary sister. He tried to call out to her, but the noise from the various battles was so loud she didn't notice him. She also didn't notice the gas surrounding her, and began choking on it, inhaling it into her system. When the gas cleared the older brother looked on in horror as CK began to mutate right in front of his eyes. She grew several tails and her hair became a very light blonde and shaped into a mane. She turned to look at Yoshi with red eyes...

Yoshi sat bolt upright dripping with cold sweat. He looked around him and noticed that he was at the campsite. 'Must have been a nightmare,' he thought to himself. He looked down at his little sister and wondered what he'd do if anything ever happened to her. After realizing he was unable to go back to sleep, and after accidentally awakening his firey companion, Yoshi and Typhlosion wandered off a bit. As they exited the safety of the campsite they noticed that everyone had gone to bed. They even saw that Cain had found his place high up in a tree.

After they had walked a long way they stopped pretty much in the middle of nowhere and sat down. They sat there, not exchanging words, but knowing exactly what the other was thinking. Yoshi couldn't help being nervous about the next day and having to get by the rockets.

Yoshi shivered as the cold began to get to him, so he turned to Typhlosion and said 'Could you light your fire for a little while?' Typhlosion yawned in response and scratched his stomach, to express that he was way, way too tired to do much and was struggling to stay awake just now. Then an idea hit Yoshi. He began hoping that one of the trainers had a Pokemon suitable for the idea. If not, then he may as well scrap it.
 
"Could you light your fire..." I heard the one called Yoshi say to his Typholosion. I smiled as I decided to help the kid out.

I went a few feet to my left, gathering some twigs in my mouth and dropping them in a ring close to him. As I put down the fourth twig, I puffed a small Ember onto them to start a small, cozy flame. I then returned to my pile of twigs to feed some more life into the fire.

{Here you go,} I said, bowing my head. {I'll be up for a while, so call for me if you need it. The name's Avi.}

{...Avi, when did you decide to do room service?} Solice joked with a chuckle.

{Hush, Solice,} I rebutted. {Couldn't you see he was distraught???} I turned my head back to Yoshi and asked quickly, {Did you have a nightmare?}
 
OOC:

Now. Night ends now. LEt there be light!

IC:

Mike woke up. He felt something lightly punching him. The pokemon trainer looked around and saw that he was in the forest with the other people. At once Mike remember that he was now traveling with others. He then looked at Char and saw that it was her who woke him up. Mike got up and greeted his charizard with a smile. At once his stomach growl and he could also hear Char's too.

Mike nodded and said, "How about I make us some breakfest. I sure I can find something in my bag to make." At once he pulled out a small pan and a few poles to make a pan stand. He then looked at Char and said, "Fire please Char."

The charizard nodded and place her tail in the pan stand. Mike then began to cook some eggs. At once the machop hybrid awoke and said, "Making eggs?"

Mike nodded. He then looked at Amanda and said, "So what are we going to do abotu Cherrygrove?"

"We wait to discuse that later when the others wake up." said Amanda. She then yarn and said, "We are going have to find away to go around it or something."
 
OOC: Finnaly

IC: I saw light through my eyes. Then tryed to roll on my back. But when I did it I rolled straight out of the tree. "Oomph.". I finally got up then I saw most of the other people woke up as well. "Ugh. Well at least I finnaly fell asleep."

I walked over to Amanda. She woke up as well. "Well are we going to CherryGrove or not? I hope to get there soon. "Once everybody wakes up then we will work on where and when we are going." I noticed Mike was up as well so I went over and asked "Well what do you want to do now?"
 
OOC: Good thing it didn't--one of my characters is about to rejoin the group. Gosh, my characters are split up all over the place now... all five of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Above the forest--

Eve kept on singing, louder and louder and sadder and sadder as she too began to feel weaker. It was as if she was calling to her soul for salvation while she was slipping into a deathlike state. (Or at least a state of unconsciousness, because since Eve is a ghost, she's already "dead".)

Samara was smiling evilly when the song started, and she continued to do so as the song continued, and Eve's silhouette grew darker against the sunset. Over time her smile turned flat and then upside-down, and every inch of cloth on her began to droop. Any second now, she felt like she could just float down to the ground like a feather, landing tangled up in the tree branches below. Energy was draining out of her to some unknown place, and her feelings emptied of any sort of emotion, at least happy emotions.

As the song continued, Tiffany tried her best to ignore it and keep an eye on Casi and Bunch. However, the song was so compelling, so melancholy... Tiffany kept shifting her attention between the Rockets and Eve, and she even loosened her grip on Happy a little.
"Whoa!" Tiffany's mind jolted back to reality as she grasped Happy tighter, especially around the head. She looked down at Phoebe's Houndoom, thinking briefly how Phoebe was doing at this time. As she did, she noticed that the forest seemed to be growing larger... Actually, she was having a harder and harder time keeping herself in the air and was gradually sinking back down towards the forest.
<"Uh... Tiffany?"> Happy asked nervously as she looked down at the trees. <"What's going on? Why is everyone getting weaker? I don't feel any change... Tiffany! We're almost at the trees! There's only... twenty feet or so to go before we crash? Tiffany! We're falling faster! We're falling... TIFFANY!">
"I know, Happy, I'm... trying..." Tiffany spoke in as loud a voice as possible. She started to flap her wings harder. She felt as if Happy had quadrupled in weight.

Just then, Tiffany was blasted with some strange beam of pink light. Before she knew it, she was glowng pink.
"Oh darn, I hate... pink..." Tiffany flailed about out of frustration. As she did, she saw Bunch return Casi to her Pokeball and fly off on his Pidgeot.
"Here, you didn't hear the song!" Tiffany shouted as she threw Happy at the Pidgeot. The startled Houndoom flew through the air, wind rushing past her newly opened ears. By that time the song had finished, and Eve and Samara were nowhere to be seen.

Soon Happy realized where she was. She was too panic-stricken to cry out--she was about to plummet toward the trees below (ouch, that must hurt)! Out of desperation, she searched around for anything that would save her from this fall... And then she saw a giant clawed foot in front of her. Without thinking much about it, Happy clamped her jaws around one of the toes and hung there. A squawk of pain could be heard above.
"Pidgeo?!!"

Meanwhile, a blinding flash of pink light engulfed Tiffany. Tiffany was in a daze--she felt like she was an ice cube inside a glass of pink lemonade. Around her, she thought she could make out pictures in the air--stars or chicks or little pink bunny heads... Tiffany tried to close her eyes out of disgust, but she found herself unable to for some reason. The pinkness continued, swirling and swirling like some crazy cotton candy machine, till Tiffany knew no more of it.

--In the forest--

It was dark and dismal in the trees below. A breeze blew through the boughs--but it was far from gentle. With each gust, the leaved branches rattled, as if they were living beings on the verge of their very last breath. Such breaths blew all around one such patch of branches, where two figures lay, draped haphazardly over the tree limbs. One looked sort of human, a very thin woman with a ragged dark blue dress and a large pointed hat, and hints of faded crimson gems glistened bleakly around her. The other looked like a plush toy with the stuffing pulled out, with blank red eyes and a zippered mouth. Here the two figures drooped, and anyone who could see them would not have been able to tell that seconds ago they had been out and about and very much lively...

--Cherrygrove City--

As the sky darkened and a blinding flash of pink light surrounded Tiffany, Phoebe decided that she would see no more of this chaos. The last thing she could glimpse was a giant bird with a figure above it and something dog-shaped dangling from it, before she turned around and galloped back into the forest. At this point Cherrygrove City was much more scary than any nightfallen forest.

As Phoebe ran on, she occasionally wondered what was happening to Happy, and Eve and Tiffany and Samara as well. But she already had many feelings of despair swimming about her mind, so she couldn't allow any more to splash around like the dancing devils they were.

When her mind was a bit clearer (though not by much), Phoebe could hear a voice or two in the distance. She also saw light up ahead--it appeared to have been coming from a fire. When she saw this, she stopped running and started to walk towards the light, keeping a close eye out for anyone that might be in Team Rocket.

The first thing Phoebe spotted was a Quilava hybrid adding more wood to the fire, and an Espeon sitting beside him.
Wait, a minute... he looks familiar... Phoebe recognised. I thought I saw him back in Professor Elm's lab...
Phoebe also saw a group of people and/or Pokemon sleeping, a few tents, and even one or two more hybrids. There was one other person who was awake and looked quite troubled.

Phoebe finally reached the edge of the clearing where everyone slept. Cautiously, she walked out into the open, trying to appear as harmless as possible. Her worst fear was that someone would scream at the sight of her and wake everyone up. Slowly, Phoebe walked over to Avi and Yoshi, trying to keep the sound of her hooves touching the ground to a minimum.

--EDIT--

Fortunately, nobody saw Phoebe while she was still asleep, even if the morning had arrived. The night before, Phoebe had decided to keep away from everyone and sleep behind a tree, for she had had enough excitement that night already. But now, some strange spark of courage ignited inside of her, so she walked over to where some of the group was waking up.
"Uh... hello?" she announced.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Arrgh, when I first started my reply, it was still nighttime. So therefore, all of my post, except the last paragraph, still takes place the night before.

Balos stood up and stretched as he woke up. He looked down and noticed that CK was still asleep, so he decided to try to wake her up. The first thing that came to mind was a belly flop on her, works everytime. But he remembered his warning from the day before, so he just nudged her. She didn't wake up, she just rolled over. Balos rolled his eyes, walked to the other end of the sleeping bag and pulled it back with his mouth. CK shivered and reached for the covers, but they weren't there so she sat up wearily. Balos instantly dropped the bag to pull the innocent act. CK bought it, which was a first. As she stood up she noticed her brother walking from a distance.

CK looked at her sleeping bag, then back at her brother and then said 'Gosh, I must have sleep-crawled without knowing it.' Balos tried his very best to hold back a laugh, but failed and also blew his innocence. CK looked at him, clueless as to what happened during the night.

When Yoshi finally reached the campsite he tapped CK on the shoulder and said 'C'mon sleepyhead, time to get up.' CK groaned out of fatigue. Typhlosion was stumbling over his own feet, and when he did fall over he instantly started snoring. Yoshi shook his head in disbelief. 'The powerhouse of my team and he can't even stay awake.' He pulled out the sleeping Pokemon's PokeBall and withdrew him from the surrounding environment. As Yoshi looked around he noticed that yet another hybrid had joined the group. He waited on his sister to fully get up before he walked over, but she was taking so long...
 
OOC:

I hate when that happens. You start a post but then somebody else post too while you were doing that.

IC:

Mike was cooking some eggs. He could hear the eggs cook on the frying pan that was being cook over Char's tail. He then heard Cain said to him, "Well what do you want to do now?"

MIke laugh and said, "Eat breakfast." He then laugh as the began to scarmble the eggs. Char did too letting out a small roat for laugther. Mike then began to take out fire pokemon food and allowed Char to eat some of it. Mike thne said, "Well like I joked about first. We eat a little then maybe start out some plan to head for Cherrygrove. I not sure what will be good to do. We could go around the city along the edge of the city avoiding the main part of it."

Amanda nodded and said, "Or we could try going into the city but not cause any trouble. That does sound good." SHe then looked around and saw a ponyta hybrid. She gave the hybrid a smile and waved at her.

Micheal didn't pay much attention to the ponyta hybrid. He kept on at scarmbling his eggs but hope that his supplies will keep them until Violet if they don't go into Cherrygrove.
 
I watched Mike, Amanda and Char from a safe distance, still keeping an eye on CK, Yoshi, Typhlosion, and Balos. Solice shook her head as she teleported in front of Amanda, her eyes half-closed in delight.

{Something smells good!} she told the Machop hybrid.

"It's just some scrambled eggs," Amanda said politely. "Go see if Kyra and Avi are up... they seemed to have a rough night."

{If that is what you wish,} Solice answered with a bow of her head, teleporting in front of Kyra's feet. {Miss Kyra?} she asked in an attempt to awaken her.

As I looked back at Kyra and Solice, I half-smiled. As I sniffed out the air, I could make out the scent of Fire Pokémon Chow, intertwined with the aroma of scrambled eggs. {CK? Yoshi?} I called to the pair. {Never mind,} I said, snuffing out the fire with my front right paw. {Wow, morning already... I hope Kyr's okay.}
 
{CK? Yoshi?} The two siblings heard Avi call out to them, and sharply raised their heads towards him.

'Yeah?' Yoshi replied.

{Never mind,} The hybrid said, turning away from them. The two siblings looked at each other with a hint of surprise then shrugged it off. Yoshi pulled another PokeBall from his belt and released the Pokemon inside.

'Uh... Yoshi,' CK said 'I think you need to learn to tell your PokeBalls apart. You just released thin air.' CK clearly didn't see the red zigzag pattern in midair, and jumped when a green Pokemon formed from it.

'I honestly don't know what you're talking 'bout, sis.' Yoshi said with a laugh. 'Obviously you haven't seen a Kecleon.'

'Obviously, because they can camouflage themselves.' CK already didn't like this Pokemon. It was too cheeky, as it had disappeared again. But this time it was on business.

'Alright, I want you to go tell Mike what I told you.'

'What? Why me?' Yoshi looked at her in that because I said so way, so she sighed and slowly approached the trainer, who was cooking up some eggs. She then shyly said 'My brother told me to tell you that he sent his Kecleon to check out Cherrygrove and see how many Rockets there are. He also wants to know if anyone here by chance has a Pokemon with a Sleep-inducing move.'
 
"My brother told me to tell you that he sent his Kecleon to check out Cherrygrove and see how many Rockets there are. He also wants to know if anyone here by chance has a Pokemon with a Sleep-inducing move.

Mike looked up from the eggs to the girl named CK. He then smiled and said, "Good morning." He then thought about what she said and replied back, "Well that does sound like a good plan but we may face the same problem that we did back at the lab with hidden Rockets."

Amanda nodded and said, "Yeah. I can see how the use of sleep move using pokemon is needed incase but that does sound like a good plan."

MIke then pulled the pan away from Char's flaming tail and said, "NOw time for breakfast. Want some?" Char smiled as she ate her own food. MIke took a bite of his eggs then said, "As for sleep induce pokemon I have none. Just Char, a Dragonair, Onix and a Heracross. That all the pokemon I have. How about you ask around?" He then took another bite of his eggs.
 
A girl named Ck started asking if anyone had any sleep induce pokemon. I went up to her and said "My ghastly knows Hypnosis. I want to help" Then she brought me over to Mike. It seemed Mike wanted to get into CherryGrove but was going to cast sleep over all the Rockets. I stated "It is a good plan but what if there are rockets outside of the range of the Sleep inducing moves? I unleashed Transparent to show her.

Kyra awoke with a jump. She landed on her feet and looked around wearily before sitting back down. Her body was slightly tense from the new hybrid appearing. Star was over next to Avi licking her paw simply. {So....do you happen to like Kyra?} She thought to Avi as she washed her paw.

Yawning, Kyra stood up again and looked around. With a sniff she smiled. Smells good. She thought to herself as she quickly stretched. Mike was offering people eggs. Others seemed to be silent. Marina didn't even seem to be awake or out of her tent yet. The two siblings that, Kyra is pretty sure, are named CK and Yoshi, though she never actually said anything to them at all, were awkae two. Solice was at her feet, and Avi was over by Star.
 
Cain released a Gastly, which he said knew Hypnosis, to show CK. He then asked what if there were Rockets outside of the range of Hypnosis. CK didn't know. This was Yoshi's plan, not hers. She wasn't the one who came up with all the great strategies in battle, she just applied the brute force to make them work.

'I... I... don't know what happens then. All I know is that Yoshi sent his Kecleon to see how many Rockets there were and that he wanted a Pokemon with a Sleep-inducing move.' She then turned around to look at her brother, 'He's smarter than me. I'm not very smart.' She then looked at Cain's Gastly and said 'Maybe if somehow we can get the Rockets into a bottleneck so they have nowhere to go.'
 
OOC:Sorry for not posting. Was busy with school.

IC: I was quiet for the whole night and woke up , quiet again until I heard the person named CK ask if anyone had a sleep inducing pokemon. I noticed the reason why. There were Rocket grunts in Cherrygrove city. Another person let out a ghastly and I decided to help out in this.

"Well... I have a specially bred Milotic with hypnosis as an attack. Come on out Milolo!" I let out my pokemon in front of me as I walked towards the two trainers. "I'll help out. It's what I do anyways , heh!"
 
"Okay im ready. Lets defeat those Rockets" I said to CK. Then I started to walk towards Mike and Amanda who were talking

Then I started thinking about how we were supposed to defeat a large amount of Rockets with only a few Sleep inducing pokemon. But I decided to let everybody else worry about that

We went over to Amanda who was surprised to see me participating since I was sleeping most of the day. "Okay im ready to help. My Ghastly knows Hypnosis so I have a sleep induce pokemon. When does the plan take effect?"
