Before story notes: Darkfire/Skye took in Phoenix. A loooong time ago, I had Tiana bred with *Murkrow’s Shiny Ditto Hinto, and recently she was bred with Skye’s nuka. Storywise though both babies will be Nuka’s. Sela was also acquired by breeding. Her parents are Eben Avis and Shonta’s ditto Serena. Zale’s son, Anubis, the houndour is also making his appearance. He is the level five male with normal colors. His mother is really Knight of Time’s Houndoom but storywise its Aretmis. She also had twins, but only one (Anubis) will be the one I’m keeping the other storywise is going to be Brian’s. brian is storywise Aretmis’ trainer. The following were EMT moves: Focus Energy, Iron Defense, and Iron Tail for Laila, Tail Whip for Kumar, Thunderbolt for Angel, as well as Sky Attack, Roost, and Roar for Sela. This is Tiana’s RBG.

(Tiana’s POV)

I panted as I sat outside the entrance to the South Caverns. I could have probably made it quicker if I had attempted to teleport, but then again knowing my luck I’d have ended up in the middle of the lake. I gave an involuntary shudder at that thought. Zale was the one that loved the water.

I sighed softly. I hadn’t seen Hinto in months. He had been caught, which was surprising since he was a ditto and not given that he was shiny like myself.

I gave my head a shake as I looked around. What I needed was a good battle to distract myself. I wasn’t the only one out looking for a battle today. Angel had asked Ranec if he could take her into the North Caverns and Sunita had tagged along with them. Just before I left this morning, I heard Wildfire talking about looking for a battle.

I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Turning my head to look, I saw a Chimecho darting in close to a growlithe and then back out of range. I stopped, watching not having a good feeling about this. Sure enough, the growlithe tried to run away but the chimecho knocked him out with her hidden power which turned out to be water.

My eyes narrowed at that. If there was anything everyone on our team despised, it was bullies. As if in response to my anger, the entire room of the cavern went dark as I could feel my fur standing on ends as I charged towards the chimecho and tackled her to the ground. She shrieked in pain before wrapping herself around my neck.

I coughed having trouble breathing, as I growled loudly as she continued to squeeze even tighter as she wrapped herself tighter around my neck.

Having already used my hidden power, I could feel the energy crackling around my teeth as I crunched down on the little bit of her flowing tail that I could reach. With a cry, she quickly released her hold and floated out of my reach as she glowed faintly and when the glow faded, she looked much healthier. I snarled at that and she responded by sticking out her tongue at me.

I responded by focusing on secreting a toxic substance that I held in my mouth as I took a running leap. At the height of my leap, I spit the sludge all over the floating bell. She was shocked. “Freak,” I heard her mutter before she launched a dark ball of ethereal energy.

I couldn’t help but cry out in pain as the attack hit, but being called a freak, while it hurt, it made me even angrier. It was part of what Ruki went through on a daily basis but he found someone who didn’t mind the fact that he still had an eevee mane even though he was a shiny umbreon. Quickly shaking my head, I returned my attention back to the battle as I retaliated with a shadow ball of my own.

At this point, we were both panting hard. I glanced up and saw that there was a small hole in the roof of the cavern and I mentally called out to the sun, not sure if it was going to respond or not. I couldn’t help but sigh in relief as I felt my body healing. When I was done, I was met by another shadow ball.

I was getting tired of this but she was purposely keeping out of range from my best attacks. Taking a deep breath, I charged up another ethereal ball of energy and shot it towards the Chimecho. It hit, and she dropped to the ground.

I won!
I grew to L.21.

I sat down panting, as I waited to regain my energy. I thought about going to the North Caverns where I could visit Ruki and maybe regroup with Angel, Ranec and Sunita.

It took me a little while, because it had been a while since I had last had a battle. When I finally felt rested enough, I took a deep breath and tried to clear my mind and teleport. The next thing I knew, I was dropping down onto of someone.

“Sorry, sorry.” I replied as I scrambled off and looked to see who I had landed on. I blinked unable to believe my eyes as a purr escaped, and all thoughts of catching up with Angel and the others left my mind..

(Amy’s POV)

I carefully carried the egg back to the house. I had found it while I was out for my walk. I waited for a while, when I didn’t see any other pokemon nearby before releasing Dakota. He confirmed, using his hidden power that the egg had been abandoned.

I decided to wait a little longer before we took it with her. Dakota nodded his head in agreement, even though I had not said anything out loud. I thought about that morning, when I had given out tm’s before some of my team went out for training. Laila was pleased with the moves she had received as well as Angel. While Kumar didn’t say anything, he knew that his move might prove helpful at some point.

Suddenly, Dakota sat straight up as he looked towards the direction of home.

“What is it?” I asked him.

“Artemis.”

He only said one word, but the meaning was clear. Artemis, must be having her puppy. So instead of waiting any longer, I picked up the egg and we hurried home.

By the time we made it home, it was over. Zale was standing protectively over Artemis. I stepped closer, and I could feel him watching me. I looked down to see two puppies. One was shiny and the other had normal colors.

“Congrats.” I said softly, as I set the egg down on the sofa.

Zale smiled. “Thanks. Artemis wants to keep one and she knows Brian will take Athena and we’ll keep Anubis.”

I smiled, as the two pups nuzzled against their mother. “Nice names.”

Artemis and Zale beamed at that. However, before anything else could be said there was a loud pop, as Tiana teleported on top of the egg. She laid there for a few minutes purring loudly.

I couldn’t help but smile at that. It had been a while since we had seen her happy. She looked over and smiled at her twin and his girlfriend. “Congrats.”

“Thanks,” Zale said beaming. “It’s nice to see you happy again.”

“I ran into Nuka.” Zale frowned, but before he could open his mouth. “Don’t even start Zale, he-”

Whatever she had been about to say was lost, as the egg she was sitting on began to shake and a crack appeared. She hopped off and watched as a tiny claw poked out. “What?”

As we watched a tiny baby Aerodactyl emerged from the egg and chirped excitedly when it saw Tiana and flopped awkwardly out of the egg toward her. It chirped and looked up at Tiana who just blinked.

Anubis joined the team. He is a L.5 male houndour that knows leer, ember, howl, and double team.

Sela joined the team. She is a L.5 female aerodactyl that knows Wing Attack, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, and Dragonbreath, plus the following TM’s that I’ve given her Sky Attack, Roost, Roar.
