Ah, fun traveling moments on their journeys.
“Well, you haven’t met us. If it’s a straight path, we usually find ourselves lost,” Michael said with a snicker. “We get lost. A lot.”
“All the time actually,” Nicki corrected. “Before we met up with Val and Luke again.”

Laura: That's a shame. But... you won't have to worry. I'll lead and make sure that you guys never get lost again. Plus... if music is played... it'd take your mind off of that idea of being lost. Music did seem to have an effect on you. So... It'd help carry you through.
Laura was not too sure about who they were. However... for what she knew about them... They were honest and very sincere. Lost trainers... With no sense of clear direction. She felt bad for them. Really bad and wanted to help them out as best as possibly could. Not knowing that once she came across relatives of hers... things would change a little. Oh well... Perhaps things would be better. It was very likely. Only good things were to come.
Michael snorted and just shook his head. This woman REALLY didn’t know them.
“Well, we used to sing and stuff.”
“I didn’t MEAN my words! I was hungry and cranky, geez!” Luke defended before Laura heard the whole story.
“But LUKE over hear told us to shut our g****** ******* mouthed before he did it for us.”
“I said I was sorry,” Luke muttered.
Ever since that had happened, there was always something between the blonde and the bluenette. They seemed to always fight and they were always at each other’s throats.
Nicki knew why. Michael had used music in moments of pain (mentally and physically) and ever since they hadn’t sang on their little trips, all that filled the air was silence and tension. Luke admittedly apologized multiple times. Nicki and Valiant attempted to calm them down and get them to play cards with each other again, but they refused to. The only thing they did was train with each other. THEN when Nicki tried to sing, Michael had given him a glare and walked off. They didn’t find him for two days, where he was sitting in a tree with some Pokémon.
Again, the relationships between the four of them were dissolving. Nicki could feel it. It made him sad and desperate to bring his friends back.

Laura played music as she lead the way over to the town of buckner. She could tell from the looks of things... they were all gonna need a campsite... within town. They didn't seem to have much equipment or anything. much of any items. So... they were gonna need a stock-up of them. Alot.
Laura: This is gonna be wonderful. you know, Meeting you guys. Since meeting you guys... it feels like i found my own sense of belonging. You guys have accepted me and i'm a girl... with a bunch of guys. You guys are pretty sweet.
Laura's Lucario ventured up ahead a little to scout for any spots of trouble. Looking to make sure that the path was safe. There was sure to be trouble close at hand. At any time... but as far as any of them knew... things were safe as could be.
Laura: Maybe if we can find a food place... we can all grab some food. Have a warm meal. I at this point... think that it'd do us all a real bit of good. Don't you think do so too? *Walking and leading*
Nicki’s eyes lit up and suddenly, he joined in a began singing in a different language. Michael and Luke tensed but Nicki wrapped his arm around Laura and Michael’s shoulders with a goofy smile. Michael couldn’t help but laugh now, and began singing along too. Soon, tension disappeared.
They were pretty much goofing off, pretending that they had any chance or rivaling Michael’s pure and simple, but moving vocals. Nicki may have a close second though.
“If I must, I’m a girl. Was, at least,” Michael said. “I’m transgender. I was like you, hanging out with a bunch a guys and unable to properly fit in. Of course, I’m fine now. But we’re friendlier than we appear,” he said with a small grin.
“Yeah Michael doesn’t eat,” Valiant revealed and Michael scowled at the taller male.
“Yeah yeah yeah I’m just not hungry,”
“You’re never hungry,” Valiant pointed out with a chuckle. “But yes. Some food, water, maybe rest would be very good!”
Laura: we’ll get it. I promise.
But that when she had something come over her...
Laura: do one of you know how to cook? Because if so... maybe we can cook something... make it how we want it... our own way. That’d be something to try, wouldn’t it?
Of course... what they didn’t know was that someone was nearby. Someone she knew... or was it someone else???
“I KNOW HOW TO COOK!” Michael yelled enthusiastically.
Nicki beamed at his boyfriend and hugged him from behind.
“He’s really good. Give him a shot and he’ll give you one of the best meals of your whole entire life!” Nicki declared proudly.
For the first time, Michael smiled shyly and he flushed, looking at his hands.
“He is very very good,” Luke jumped in with a small smile. “And-“
Michael tensed and his ears perked up. His fingers slid over the dagger sheathed to his hip.
“Someone. Is. Following. Us,” he gritted out.
While they had been walking and suddenly stopped to get with clear cooking... a trio of girls were close by and were lost as their bearings were messed up. They didn’t know where they ended up as for a few years they were attending Yale. If you are wondering how they got there... you might want to go see on talking to a certain celebrity who shares the same last name as they do. The BLOODLINE of LIGHTFOOT! It was more of them. Much more. Why... because what no one will understand is that Lightfoot is a very big family. A clan if you will.
The trio of girls were traveling for weeks and had no idea of how they got to where they were... now. These girls were however on a journey as well and through it all... they managed to at least 5 Pokémon. Got a starter and caught 4. One got a Magnemite. One got a Drowzee and one got a Heracross. They within seconds came across a group of guys and not knowing it... across a girl. One of their own.
]Sunkist: Hey there. Could you guys tell us where we are? We’re kinda lost and don’t know where to go.
Kiwi: Do you guys know where we can pick up something to eat?
Isabel: *Looking to the side; sighs* God... I need a smoke... I’m out of smokes and of course if we were still with our aunt Macie... she’d be so against the smoking. She’s a very sweet loving person. But sweet mother of bloody seriously... she can be such a goodie goodie sometimes. Geez!
Michael didn’t relax, his fingers curled around the handle of his dagger. He could be extremely hostile when it came to meeting others and meeting other people.
Of course , Nicki just grabbed his wrist and made him calm down a little bit.
“Not exactly. We don’t know many restaurants let alone stores. We just arrived in this town like you,” He said, polite as always.
Michael continued staring at the girls with barely hidden suspicion and agitation. He just wanted people to leave them alone. Why won’t they leave them alone?
Luke, sensing Michael’s upcoming meltdown about to come, he smiled appreciatively.
“We are very sorry ladies. But we really are tired as well. We hope you find somewhere to eat,” Luke said quickly.
Michael had always been antisocial and being in a state where he didn’t know people freaked him out. Nicki was of course the opposite, but he made a conscious effort to keep him out of such situations.
The bluenette blinked a couple of times and Val, Luke, and Nicki noticed the look of panic. So Valiant excused themselves.
“Sorry but Michael and I are going to go do something very quick.”
That just left Nicki and Luke. Nicki shook his head with a reassuring smile.
“No. We weren’t really about to eat. We would’ve needed ingredients since one of us could’ve cooked for us. But we haven’t found a store yet,” he explained.
Laura: I could go and find us a store. I think that there's a Grocery store off the main drag in town. Why not make up a list of ingredients and things needed for the cooking and i'll go and get them for us all.
Laura's Lucario came out and suddenly scouted for danger. He was sensing something... but for the strangest part... nothing was nearby to pose as a means of danger.
Lucario: *Using an Aura Sphere on the location to protect everyone* ...
Laura: *Looking at everyone* Don't worry. This is just a thing he does. He's just being pretty protective as over the last few days... i had to come across at least 7 encounters with those Team Magma creeps. He doesn't want to take anything to chance. Precautionary measures... usually give a piece of mind.
Michael began to relax ever so slightly and he nodded begrudgingly. Nicki nodded as well in agreement as he knew that cooking would help Michael destress and calm down.
“Here, one moment,” Michael murmured, taking out his notebook. He began writing down fruits and vegetables with other essential items. Then he yanked off the paper.
“Here you go,” he said softly, handing it to her.
Absol perked up at Lucario’s presence and Michael laid a hand on his back. The disaster Pokémon was tense now and Michael massages in between its shoulder blades.
“That’s understandable if you’ve attacked that many.”
Laura looked at the list and nodded. She then called over her Rapidash and went right on over to the store... Grabbing the stuff needed for the cooking. Collecting what was needed. If by anything... she was gone from the spot where they were for like about a half hour. But she in time came back and produced all the things that were on the list. All the ingredients. Fruits and Vegetables. Condiments. Spices and herbs that were gonna be in need for what was being cooked. She came also with a pack for Isabel. For the shopping that she did... she surely delivered...
Laura: Here you go. All the items... on the list from the top to the very bottom. *To Isabel* Isabel, Here's a pack of smokes. For you. But try not to go through it before we reach a bigger town or city. This town is scarce in resources. Not much to really look at. Friendly town... but there's not much to really see.
Isabel: Okay.
Sunkist: *Looking at the area* Is this really... all there is in this town?
Laura: Afraid so.
Lucario looked at Absol and nodded.
Lucario: *To Absol* Absol, Take heart. We're here to protect our trainers and human companions. Our mission and purpose is equal. I don't seek to fight you. As you wouldn't seek to fight me. We share the same thoughts as we have trainers that we would defend with our lives. don't let your sense of unease cloud that. Being a trusted companion and protector to those who train us is everything to us pokemon. It's everything to us.
Laura listened and could only gasp in shock...
Michael had been absentmindedly stroking Absol’s fur gently. He just looked at Nicki who was goofing off with his Pikachu while Luke was trying to tease them.
Absol nodded to Lucario back with a murmur of thankfulness.
I do not seek to fight you like you said Lucario. Before my Michael found me, I was trapped under a rock. He saved me even though I bit him and growled at him. He is my everything to me. My trainer, my companion.
“What?” Michael asked when his cat ears perked up at the surprised noise emitted from Laura. “Do you hear someone? Something?”
“Calm down Michael. You’re barraging her with questions geez!” Luke scolded with a smile.
Laura couldn't help but giggle... She was surprised to hear her Lucario speak like he did... But she giggled at the sudden barrage of questions. She thought that it was funny.
But she nodded. She was happy.
With the way that the rest of the night progressed... There was little to no trouble or issues popping up from the wayside. Nothing. They all ate... A very swell meal which Laura watched Michael make. It was a real swell dream.
By time the next morning came...
Laura: *Waking up and looking around* The town looks rather peaceful...
Lucario: *Working out a little* It's a beautiful morning. But never a bad time to get some exercises in. It always perks up the muscles and the blood.
Sunkist: *Waking up and stretching* Wow... What a night. First night in awhile since the last time we had a peaceful rest. God... That was good. Really relaxing.
What were they to do for the day... who knew as it was only about to start...

Bright and early, Mandosa sprung out of bed while the other Pokemon slept.
Mandosa: "Rise and shine, everyone!"
All the other Pokemon were grumbling as they went back to bed.
Mandosa lightly slaps each Pokemon awake. Starmie and Gallade were well-rested. The others need some discipline.
Mandosa: "Hey, get up. Come on. Wake up."
Litten stumbled onto his cute little feet, followed up by Alolan Sandshrew who was a sleepyhead, and Beedrill who was cranky, and tried to roll over, but buzzed angrily, and woke up, hovering beside Mandosa. The other Pokemon followed suit, and followed Mandosa out.
He dashed out to knock on Jeremy's door, smiling. He was expecting some adventure out of today. What will it be is the real question: Another Team encounter? A gym battle? Maybe even a friendly battle.
Mandosa: "Rise and shine, sleepyheads!"
From last night, all the other Pokemon were still sleepyheads, but half of them were still frowning and sad from that night. Starmie is unphased, Gallade is well-rested, and the mysterious Pokemon was still stored away in a Poke Ball.

Jeremy: *Opening the door* What's so good about rising and shining, Mendosa? You may have heard the news. Team Magma has our mom. My mom is being held captive by them and they left a note... Meant for me and my sisters Lisa and Nicole. We were directly personally attacked by them.
Sandy: Anyone who hurts my soulmate... they're asking for trouble. You can bet on that.
Pansear: *Wanting to go after Team Magma* Those guys hurt Jeremy. They attacked him right where it hurts.
Lisa and Nicole then came out and they were with tear soaked faces... Even though they had managed to freshen up a bit and were ready to head out.
Lisa: Who cares what today is? Our mom is captive by team Magma. We don't even know where they have her held captive.
However within seconds... Jeremy's positive upbeat bright side nature came in and he couldn't just stand and not say something.
Jeremy: Hey. Lisa... Nicole. Perk up. It's gonna be okay. We have each other...
Ross: Besides... just so you know... We all have a new addition to the group here. Me. And there is someone else too... She's waitin' outside.
Who was it that happened to be waiting outside? Was it friend... or foe? Strongly leaning towards friend... Right?

Michael used to work at a ramen restaurant where the top chef took a liking to his quick, sharp tongue and sarcastic nature. They taught him everything he knew, until the place got robbed and the owner was soon killed in the process. Another tragedy to add to Michael’s list of depressing situations. Whenever Michael got stressed, he would cook. Or sing. Mostly cook though. So it actually helped him as he began cooking for everyone.
When they woke up, Nicki was still asleep. Michael was awake as always, since he had chronic insomnia. He was just sitting on a roof, fiddling with what looked to be a violin.
Luke stirred a little at the voices, and at the sound of a haunting tune yet beautiful notes floated through the air. It was sad, melancholic, yet somehow hopeful. Nicki too awoke and smiled as he listened to the music. It brought back good memories.
“Nothing like Michael’s violin playing to wake ya up,” Nicki declared, standing up and grabbing his glasses.

“All the time actually,” Nicki corrected. “Before we met up with Val and Luke again.”
Laura: That's a shame. But... you won't have to worry. I'll lead and make sure that you guys never get lost again. Plus... if music is played... it'd take your mind off of that idea of being lost. Music did seem to have an effect on you. So... It'd help carry you through.
Laura was not too sure about who they were. However... for what she knew about them... They were honest and very sincere. Lost trainers... With no sense of clear direction. She felt bad for them. Really bad and wanted to help them out as best as possibly could. Not knowing that once she came across relatives of hers... things would change a little. Oh well... Perhaps things would be better. It was very likely. Only good things were to come.
Michael snorted and just shook his head. This woman REALLY didn’t know them.
“Well, we used to sing and stuff.”
“I didn’t MEAN my words! I was hungry and cranky, geez!” Luke defended before Laura heard the whole story.
“But LUKE over hear told us to shut our g****** ******* mouthed before he did it for us.”
“I said I was sorry,” Luke muttered.
Ever since that had happened, there was always something between the blonde and the bluenette. They seemed to always fight and they were always at each other’s throats.
Nicki knew why. Michael had used music in moments of pain (mentally and physically) and ever since they hadn’t sang on their little trips, all that filled the air was silence and tension. Luke admittedly apologized multiple times. Nicki and Valiant attempted to calm them down and get them to play cards with each other again, but they refused to. The only thing they did was train with each other. THEN when Nicki tried to sing, Michael had given him a glare and walked off. They didn’t find him for two days, where he was sitting in a tree with some Pokémon.
Again, the relationships between the four of them were dissolving. Nicki could feel it. It made him sad and desperate to bring his friends back.

Laura played music as she lead the way over to the town of buckner. She could tell from the looks of things... they were all gonna need a campsite... within town. They didn't seem to have much equipment or anything. much of any items. So... they were gonna need a stock-up of them. Alot.
Laura: This is gonna be wonderful. you know, Meeting you guys. Since meeting you guys... it feels like i found my own sense of belonging. You guys have accepted me and i'm a girl... with a bunch of guys. You guys are pretty sweet.
Laura's Lucario ventured up ahead a little to scout for any spots of trouble. Looking to make sure that the path was safe. There was sure to be trouble close at hand. At any time... but as far as any of them knew... things were safe as could be.
Laura: Maybe if we can find a food place... we can all grab some food. Have a warm meal. I at this point... think that it'd do us all a real bit of good. Don't you think do so too? *Walking and leading*
Nicki’s eyes lit up and suddenly, he joined in a began singing in a different language. Michael and Luke tensed but Nicki wrapped his arm around Laura and Michael’s shoulders with a goofy smile. Michael couldn’t help but laugh now, and began singing along too. Soon, tension disappeared.
They were pretty much goofing off, pretending that they had any chance or rivaling Michael’s pure and simple, but moving vocals. Nicki may have a close second though.
“If I must, I’m a girl. Was, at least,” Michael said. “I’m transgender. I was like you, hanging out with a bunch a guys and unable to properly fit in. Of course, I’m fine now. But we’re friendlier than we appear,” he said with a small grin.
“Yeah Michael doesn’t eat,” Valiant revealed and Michael scowled at the taller male.
“Yeah yeah yeah I’m just not hungry,”
“You’re never hungry,” Valiant pointed out with a chuckle. “But yes. Some food, water, maybe rest would be very good!”
Laura: we’ll get it. I promise.
But that when she had something come over her...
Laura: do one of you know how to cook? Because if so... maybe we can cook something... make it how we want it... our own way. That’d be something to try, wouldn’t it?
Of course... what they didn’t know was that someone was nearby. Someone she knew... or was it someone else???
“I KNOW HOW TO COOK!” Michael yelled enthusiastically.
Nicki beamed at his boyfriend and hugged him from behind.
“He’s really good. Give him a shot and he’ll give you one of the best meals of your whole entire life!” Nicki declared proudly.
For the first time, Michael smiled shyly and he flushed, looking at his hands.
“He is very very good,” Luke jumped in with a small smile. “And-“
Michael tensed and his ears perked up. His fingers slid over the dagger sheathed to his hip.
“Someone. Is. Following. Us,” he gritted out.
While they had been walking and suddenly stopped to get with clear cooking... a trio of girls were close by and were lost as their bearings were messed up. They didn’t know where they ended up as for a few years they were attending Yale. If you are wondering how they got there... you might want to go see on talking to a certain celebrity who shares the same last name as they do. The BLOODLINE of LIGHTFOOT! It was more of them. Much more. Why... because what no one will understand is that Lightfoot is a very big family. A clan if you will.
The trio of girls were traveling for weeks and had no idea of how they got to where they were... now. These girls were however on a journey as well and through it all... they managed to at least 5 Pokémon. Got a starter and caught 4. One got a Magnemite. One got a Drowzee and one got a Heracross. They within seconds came across a group of guys and not knowing it... across a girl. One of their own.
]Sunkist: Hey there. Could you guys tell us where we are? We’re kinda lost and don’t know where to go.
Kiwi: Do you guys know where we can pick up something to eat?
Isabel: *Looking to the side; sighs* God... I need a smoke... I’m out of smokes and of course if we were still with our aunt Macie... she’d be so against the smoking. She’s a very sweet loving person. But sweet mother of bloody seriously... she can be such a goodie goodie sometimes. Geez!
Michael didn’t relax, his fingers curled around the handle of his dagger. He could be extremely hostile when it came to meeting others and meeting other people.
Of course , Nicki just grabbed his wrist and made him calm down a little bit.
“Not exactly. We don’t know many restaurants let alone stores. We just arrived in this town like you,” He said, polite as always.
Michael continued staring at the girls with barely hidden suspicion and agitation. He just wanted people to leave them alone. Why won’t they leave them alone?
Luke, sensing Michael’s upcoming meltdown about to come, he smiled appreciatively.
“We are very sorry ladies. But we really are tired as well. We hope you find somewhere to eat,” Luke said quickly.
Michael had always been antisocial and being in a state where he didn’t know people freaked him out. Nicki was of course the opposite, but he made a conscious effort to keep him out of such situations.
The bluenette blinked a couple of times and Val, Luke, and Nicki noticed the look of panic. So Valiant excused themselves.
“Sorry but Michael and I are going to go do something very quick.”
That just left Nicki and Luke. Nicki shook his head with a reassuring smile.
“No. We weren’t really about to eat. We would’ve needed ingredients since one of us could’ve cooked for us. But we haven’t found a store yet,” he explained.
Laura: I could go and find us a store. I think that there's a Grocery store off the main drag in town. Why not make up a list of ingredients and things needed for the cooking and i'll go and get them for us all.
Laura's Lucario came out and suddenly scouted for danger. He was sensing something... but for the strangest part... nothing was nearby to pose as a means of danger.
Lucario: *Using an Aura Sphere on the location to protect everyone* ...
Laura: *Looking at everyone* Don't worry. This is just a thing he does. He's just being pretty protective as over the last few days... i had to come across at least 7 encounters with those Team Magma creeps. He doesn't want to take anything to chance. Precautionary measures... usually give a piece of mind.
Michael began to relax ever so slightly and he nodded begrudgingly. Nicki nodded as well in agreement as he knew that cooking would help Michael destress and calm down.
“Here, one moment,” Michael murmured, taking out his notebook. He began writing down fruits and vegetables with other essential items. Then he yanked off the paper.
“Here you go,” he said softly, handing it to her.
Absol perked up at Lucario’s presence and Michael laid a hand on his back. The disaster Pokémon was tense now and Michael massages in between its shoulder blades.
“That’s understandable if you’ve attacked that many.”
Laura looked at the list and nodded. She then called over her Rapidash and went right on over to the store... Grabbing the stuff needed for the cooking. Collecting what was needed. If by anything... she was gone from the spot where they were for like about a half hour. But she in time came back and produced all the things that were on the list. All the ingredients. Fruits and Vegetables. Condiments. Spices and herbs that were gonna be in need for what was being cooked. She came also with a pack for Isabel. For the shopping that she did... she surely delivered...
Laura: Here you go. All the items... on the list from the top to the very bottom. *To Isabel* Isabel, Here's a pack of smokes. For you. But try not to go through it before we reach a bigger town or city. This town is scarce in resources. Not much to really look at. Friendly town... but there's not much to really see.
Isabel: Okay.
Sunkist: *Looking at the area* Is this really... all there is in this town?
Laura: Afraid so.
Lucario looked at Absol and nodded.
Lucario: *To Absol* Absol, Take heart. We're here to protect our trainers and human companions. Our mission and purpose is equal. I don't seek to fight you. As you wouldn't seek to fight me. We share the same thoughts as we have trainers that we would defend with our lives. don't let your sense of unease cloud that. Being a trusted companion and protector to those who train us is everything to us pokemon. It's everything to us.
Laura listened and could only gasp in shock...
Michael had been absentmindedly stroking Absol’s fur gently. He just looked at Nicki who was goofing off with his Pikachu while Luke was trying to tease them.
Absol nodded to Lucario back with a murmur of thankfulness.
I do not seek to fight you like you said Lucario. Before my Michael found me, I was trapped under a rock. He saved me even though I bit him and growled at him. He is my everything to me. My trainer, my companion.
“What?” Michael asked when his cat ears perked up at the surprised noise emitted from Laura. “Do you hear someone? Something?”
“Calm down Michael. You’re barraging her with questions geez!” Luke scolded with a smile.
Laura couldn't help but giggle... She was surprised to hear her Lucario speak like he did... But she giggled at the sudden barrage of questions. She thought that it was funny.
But she nodded. She was happy.
With the way that the rest of the night progressed... There was little to no trouble or issues popping up from the wayside. Nothing. They all ate... A very swell meal which Laura watched Michael make. It was a real swell dream.
By time the next morning came...
Laura: *Waking up and looking around* The town looks rather peaceful...
Lucario: *Working out a little* It's a beautiful morning. But never a bad time to get some exercises in. It always perks up the muscles and the blood.
Sunkist: *Waking up and stretching* Wow... What a night. First night in awhile since the last time we had a peaceful rest. God... That was good. Really relaxing.
What were they to do for the day... who knew as it was only about to start...
Michael used to work at a ramen restaurant where the top chef took a liking to his quick, sharp tongue and sarcastic nature. They taught him everything he knew, until the place got robbed and the owner was soon killed in the process. Another tragedy to add to Michael’s list of depressing situations. Whenever Michael got stressed, he would cook. Or sing. Mostly cook though. So it actually helped him as he began cooking for everyone.
When they woke up, Nicki was still asleep. Michael was awake as always, since he had chronic insomnia. He was just sitting on a roof, fiddling with what looked to be a violin.
Luke stirred a little at the voices, and at the sound of a haunting tune yet beautiful notes floated through the air. It was sad, melancholic, yet somehow hopeful. Nicki too awoke and smiled as he listened to the music. It brought back good memories.
“Nothing like Michael’s violin playing to wake ya up,” Nicki declared, standing up and grabbing his glasses.
Laura looked at the scenery and suddenly out of having that need for listening to the radio...
Laura: *Turning on the Radio and listening in* ...

Laura: Wow... What a tune. What a tune. But how come i don't know who they are? Why don't i know them? They sound like a bit... Like The Rising Star.
Sunkist: Cousin Macie's Kids... You sure that's them?
Kiwi: That don't sound... like them... her kids. Does it? *A little confused*
Laura: That is them... They're in Buckner. At least... they should be. We should find out for ourselves... Shouldn't we?
Lucario: *Nods* I believe that it'd be best if we did go check and see. We should see what's up.
Kiwi: Maybe we ought to.
Isabel: Is that the only thing we're gonna do today?
Laura: No. there are other things we can also so. Perhaps have a friendly battle. Or we can explore around town... Get a feel of the area. Besides come after the concert... We're gonna be heading to Wellington, Missouri. From there... after a maybe two day stay in that town... City. It's off to Lexington... From there... Who really knows where it'll take us?
Sunkist: At least there's that. Right?
Kiwi: Yeah. *Feeling a little hungry*...
Mandosa: "News said that!? That's concerning. I never heard of anything like that. I don't watch the news often."
The pokemon were still looking sad as they tried to look up at him with their sad faces, except for Gallade who was confused, scratching the back of his head as he was puzzled.
Gallade: "Uhhh..."
Mandosa looked around at his Pokemon, confused as to why they were acting so sad.
Mandosa: "What's wrong? Why you all lookin' at me like that? We're going to save their mother, isn't that right, Litten?"
Litten grumbled in a meowing voice, shrugging his shoulders.
Litten: "Mrow."
Mandosa grins. "Y'know what'll get us in a mood? A once-in-a-lifetime Pokemon Battle, hm? Wha' ya' say? Let's train ourselves up before we take 'em on, huh?"
Of course, Mandosa usually battles with his Pokemon, but offered it up to the trainers like it was true.
Starmie glimmers as if it thinks Mandosa is very clueless as to what had really, really happened.
Alolan Sandshrew tried reaching a hand up to convince him.
Alolan Sandshrew: "Shrew, shrew."
Mandosa raised an eyebrow, still clueless. He was out all night. He couldn't keep up with the news. It's not normally his style.

Jeremy You want to battle... before breakfast? We didn't even have breakfast yet... Of course... You're right. It'd be a wise idea to train up so we will be ready to fight against that Evil team. We can do this...
Lisa: Sure we can... I just wish that it didn't have to be because it's to rescue our mother. It isn't fair. She was taken... abducted by that evil team. What if we never find her? It'd be pointless to train...
Nicole: No it wouldn't. We all have our mom's mindset... We just have to channel it and hone in on it. Use it to help us out...
Ross: Don't worry. We have that capability. The person outside... will be more willing to aid.
Saphiroth: Let's go see who it is. Our stuff's packed up and we're all set to go anyway.
A Minute later...
Outside...
Doralee: *Seeing the Rising Lights and Jeremy* Well... Howdy there, Lightfoot kids.
Lisa: Wha... Mrs. Harper... What are you doing here? How did you get here?
Doralee: I've rid here by my horse. My good ole horse. Pearling Black Sam But also got me a heard of Taurus's and Bouffolant. I raise them and you know... They tend to somehow have this fond habit of emitting Thunder with their hooves and the stampeding that they do.
Jeremy: Really?!
Doralee: You betcha. They sure do. I am sure that you might happen to catch them sometime... They started their stampeding this morning and they... I tell you that they are just itching for giving a stampede to anything in its path... Don't worry though... they only do it upon wide open fields... and the countryside. But when it comes to being near a city limit or a widely populated area... They are neutral and calm as newborn baby calfs. Soft as ever and playful as pussycats.
Darlene: Wow... That's outstanding.
Curtis: We were on our way to train. Hold a Pokemon battle with one another...
Doralee: Does any of this have anything to do with That wily evil team Team Magma?
Jeremy: You don't really need to speak about them... They have our mother.
Doralee: Your mother... Macie. She's been taken by them? You're pullin' my hyde. Are you sure?
Lisa: Sadly... we are.
Doralee: Well... Don't that beat all? I saw the news reports... but i really thought that i was dreaming about that part. *Seeing a unfamiliar face* Hello there sugar. Who might you be?
Nicole: That's our friend... Mendosa. He's a trainer from California. Originally. But he's pretty suave too.
Jeremy: *Hearing the Radio* The Radio's been talking about the concert of ours tomorrow. It's getting alot of talk.
Ross: We heard. You guys are lucky. It's gonna be amazing.
Radio: *Broadcasting; As Lord Arnold* This is another hit from the Gay flavor of the Rising Lights... PASSION KISS! It's his hit... SPARKS...

Jeremy's Spark
Radio: *Broadcasting as Jeremy; Singing* "I can't hear a single word
Just know you're talking, 'cause your lips keep moving
Everything I thought I learned
Goes out the window, all I want is one thing
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Ticking-tocking like a bomb
Throws me back to when I had you closer
Skin to skin, we get it on
Without the love, I feel you going bolder
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Take it all off, want every inch of you
Traveling back in time
Tangled uptight, just like we used to
Now do that thing I like
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go"
Was something gonna follow???

'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Ticking-tocking like a bomb
Throws me back to when I had you closer
Skin to skin, we get it on
Without the love, I feel you going bolder
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Take it all off, want every inch of you
Traveling back in time
Tangled uptight, just like we used to
Now do that thing I like
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go"
Was something gonna follow???
However... Back in Metropolis...
On the road to find the kids...
Alice: I gotta find the kids. They're gonna be in need of help. *Calling over to a taxi* Taxi!
Seconds later...
Alice: *To the Driver* To Buckner, Missouri. The Rising Lights are there.
Driver: The Rising Lights?!
Alice: Yeah.
Driver: You know them?!
Alice: Know them... It's more than knowing them... I live in the same house as they do. I'm their housekeeper.
Driver: Whoa... That's awesome. But why the urgency?
Alice: They're in danger. They're right now not only doing their careers... but are on a journey... They're being targeted by a very evil team... Two teams that are seeking to bring the world to its knees. The kids are in big trouble and are in need of help.
Driver: Geez! You are desperate. But say no more... Buckner, Missouri... Here we come!
Before another second passes...
On the road to Buckner Alice was...
Hold on, Lightfoot bree... Alice the faithful housekeeper is on her way.

The pokemon were still looking sad as they tried to look up at him with their sad faces, except for Gallade who was confused, scratching the back of his head as he was puzzled.
Gallade: "Uhhh..."
Mandosa looked around at his Pokemon, confused as to why they were acting so sad.
Mandosa: "What's wrong? Why you all lookin' at me like that? We're going to save their mother, isn't that right, Litten?"
Litten grumbled in a meowing voice, shrugging his shoulders.
Litten: "Mrow."
Mandosa grins. "Y'know what'll get us in a mood? A once-in-a-lifetime Pokemon Battle, hm? Wha' ya' say? Let's train ourselves up before we take 'em on, huh?"
Of course, Mandosa usually battles with his Pokemon, but offered it up to the trainers like it was true.
Starmie glimmers as if it thinks Mandosa is very clueless as to what had really, really happened.
Alolan Sandshrew tried reaching a hand up to convince him.
Alolan Sandshrew: "Shrew, shrew."
Mandosa raised an eyebrow, still clueless. He was out all night. He couldn't keep up with the news. It's not normally his style.

Jeremy You want to battle... before breakfast? We didn't even have breakfast yet... Of course... You're right. It'd be a wise idea to train up so we will be ready to fight against that Evil team. We can do this...
Lisa: Sure we can... I just wish that it didn't have to be because it's to rescue our mother. It isn't fair. She was taken... abducted by that evil team. What if we never find her? It'd be pointless to train...
Nicole: No it wouldn't. We all have our mom's mindset... We just have to channel it and hone in on it. Use it to help us out...
Ross: Don't worry. We have that capability. The person outside... will be more willing to aid.
Saphiroth: Let's go see who it is. Our stuff's packed up and we're all set to go anyway.
A Minute later...
Outside...
Doralee: *Seeing the Rising Lights and Jeremy* Well... Howdy there, Lightfoot kids.
Lisa: Wha... Mrs. Harper... What are you doing here? How did you get here?
Doralee: I've rid here by my horse. My good ole horse. Pearling Black Sam But also got me a heard of Taurus's and Bouffolant. I raise them and you know... They tend to somehow have this fond habit of emitting Thunder with their hooves and the stampeding that they do.
Jeremy: Really?!
Doralee: You betcha. They sure do. I am sure that you might happen to catch them sometime... They started their stampeding this morning and they... I tell you that they are just itching for giving a stampede to anything in its path... Don't worry though... they only do it upon wide open fields... and the countryside. But when it comes to being near a city limit or a widely populated area... They are neutral and calm as newborn baby calfs. Soft as ever and playful as pussycats.
Darlene: Wow... That's outstanding.
Curtis: We were on our way to train. Hold a Pokemon battle with one another...
Doralee: Does any of this have anything to do with That wily evil team Team Magma?
Jeremy: You don't really need to speak about them... They have our mother.
Doralee: Your mother... Macie. She's been taken by them? You're pullin' my hyde. Are you sure?
Lisa: Sadly... we are.
Doralee: Well... Don't that beat all? I saw the news reports... but i really thought that i was dreaming about that part. *Seeing a unfamiliar face* Hello there sugar. Who might you be?
Nicole: That's our friend... Mendosa. He's a trainer from California. Originally. But he's pretty suave too.
Jeremy: *Hearing the Radio* The Radio's been talking about the concert of ours tomorrow. It's getting alot of talk.
Ross: We heard. You guys are lucky. It's gonna be amazing.

Jeremy's Spark
Radio: *Broadcasting as Jeremy; Singing* "I can't hear a single word
Just know you're talking, 'cause your lips keep moving
Everything I thought I learned
Goes out the window, all I want is one thing
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks

You

Mandosa turned around, having a feeling someone arrived on their trusty steed, and allowing her to introduce herself.
Mandosa: "Heya'! I bet you're good friends with these travelers?"
The moment the radio started playing, it clicked in his head that they really were performers. Singers. They had the most amazing voices he didn't ever think they were famous. He as well as the other Pokemon still out listened in to the song.
Even Gallade was tapping to the beat, and Litten tried to dance on his paws, but ran into Starmie.
Litten: "Mrow! Rr-- row."
Mandosa nodded in approval the moment the song ended.
Mandosa: "That's quite a song there! Wish I'd known about ya'. I'm guessing it's more popular here in the east than the west. Just my guess. I don't really know many artists."
Then... his belly rumbles.
Mandosa: "Agh... let's head right into breakfast. I bet Litten is starved by now."
Litten was butting his head onto the Starmie who somehow doesn't topple, but isn't bothered, either.

Jeremy: She's very much like a western riding cowgirl. Multi-seasoned and very formal with western accent. But she's a wise person of the heartland. She knows what's what.
Sandy: The song was pretty amazing. I've done a couple or so with him. Like...
Jeremy: Sandy... Not now. Please... Not now.
Sandy: Yeah. Let him hear it. He's gonna be curious about it. It's best to just let him hear it. He'll want to hear it.
Jeremy: *Grins* Okay... I guess we might as well... Let's do it.
Within seconds...
Jeremy: *With Sandy; Singing* “I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin’ the lines
When you’re making a scene
Oh girl, you’ve got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it’s watching for lies
You can’t escape my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching
You watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that ain’t enough
‘Cause girl I’m gonna know
If you’re letting me in or letting me go
Don’t lie when you’re hurting inside
‘Cause you can’t escape my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching
You watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
I’m a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
I’ll still know you
Look into my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you

They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you”
Doralee: WOW! *With wide eyes* That's a real sound. Real sound and heartland tune.
Lisa: That sure was... We sing too. But... i think that it's best that we all get something to eat first before we head for a battle and start doing some training. We haven't eaten anything yet.
Doralee: If you're lookin' for a good eat... For Breakfast and all... you could try this place that's in Blue Springs. It's called the Big Biscuit. It has breakfast cuisine and good hearty homestyle... country style breakfasts. It's in Blue Springs... which is west of here. But the place is family friendly and very homey with its zeal for country hospitality.
Darlene: That's cool.
Jeremy: Mendosa... What say you, You're kinda like a type who is sporadic in trying different spots and the sort. Does that sound alright? It's a hearty meal and it's the best bet for a full meal to get us all goin.
Sandy's Drillbur comes out and Jumps into Sandy's arms...
Drillbur: Let's go. I'm hungry. Our stomach's are rumbling and if we don't eat soon... we're gonna be sick.
Doralee: I know where the place is at... I'll do the honors and lead you all to it. Come on. Let's go and get you guys and gals... some hearty grub.
And they were off...

Nicki and Michael had no sense of direction. It used to be hilarious until they couldn’t find their way to a city and Michael’s Absol was injured. It resulted into a whole fight between the two.
Luke and Valiant decompressed the disruption, pointing out where they should be going. Apparently, Michael and Nicki didn’t talk to each other for almost two weeks.
Ah, fun traveling moments on their journeys.
“Well, you haven’t met us. If it’s a straight path, we usually find ourselves lost,” Michael said with a snicker. “We get lost. A lot.”
“All the time actually,” Nicki corrected. “Before we met up with Val and Luke again.”

“All the time actually,” Nicki corrected. “Before we met up with Val and Luke again.”
Laura: That's a shame. But... you won't have to worry. I'll lead and make sure that you guys never get lost again. Plus... if music is played... it'd take your mind off of that idea of being lost. Music did seem to have an effect on you. So... It'd help carry you through.
Laura was not too sure about who they were. However... for what she knew about them... They were honest and very sincere. Lost trainers... With no sense of clear direction. She felt bad for them. Really bad and wanted to help them out as best as possibly could. Not knowing that once she came across relatives of hers... things would change a little. Oh well... Perhaps things would be better. It was very likely. Only good things were to come.
Michael snorted and just shook his head. This woman REALLY didn’t know them.
“Well, we used to sing and stuff.”
“I didn’t MEAN my words! I was hungry and cranky, geez!” Luke defended before Laura heard the whole story.
“But LUKE over hear told us to shut our g****** ******* mouthed before he did it for us.”
“I said I was sorry,” Luke muttered.
Ever since that had happened, there was always something between the blonde and the bluenette. They seemed to always fight and they were always at each other’s throats.
Nicki knew why. Michael had used music in moments of pain (mentally and physically) and ever since they hadn’t sang on their little trips, all that filled the air was silence and tension. Luke admittedly apologized multiple times. Nicki and Valiant attempted to calm them down and get them to play cards with each other again, but they refused to. The only thing they did was train with each other. THEN when Nicki tried to sing, Michael had given him a glare and walked off. They didn’t find him for two days, where he was sitting in a tree with some Pokémon.
Again, the relationships between the four of them were dissolving. Nicki could feel it. It made him sad and desperate to bring his friends back.
https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/laura-eunji-watanabe-1.jpg
Laura played music as she lead the way over to the town of buckner. She could tell from the looks of things... they were all gonna need a campsite... within town. They didn't seem to have much equipment or anything. much of any items. So... they were gonna need a stock-up of them. Alot.
Laura: This is gonna be wonderful. you know, Meeting you guys. Since meeting you guys... it feels like i found my own sense of belonging. You guys have accepted me and i'm a girl... with a bunch of guys. You guys are pretty sweet.
Laura's Lucario ventured up ahead a little to scout for any spots of trouble. Looking to make sure that the path was safe. There was sure to be trouble close at hand. At any time... but as far as any of them knew... things were safe as could be.
Laura: Maybe if we can find a food place... we can all grab some food. Have a warm meal. I at this point... think that it'd do us all a real bit of good. Don't you think do so too? *Walking and leading*
Nicki’s eyes lit up and suddenly, he joined in a began singing in a different language. Michael and Luke tensed but Nicki wrapped his arm around Laura and Michael’s shoulders with a goofy smile. Michael couldn’t help but laugh now, and began singing along too. Soon, tension disappeared.
They were pretty much goofing off, pretending that they had any chance or rivaling Michael’s pure and simple, but moving vocals. Nicki may have a close second though.
“If I must, I’m a girl. Was, at least,” Michael said. “I’m transgender. I was like you, hanging out with a bunch a guys and unable to properly fit in. Of course, I’m fine now. But we’re friendlier than we appear,” he said with a small grin.
“Yeah Michael doesn’t eat,” Valiant revealed and Michael scowled at the taller male.
“Yeah yeah yeah I’m just not hungry,”
“You’re never hungry,” Valiant pointed out with a chuckle. “But yes. Some food, water, maybe rest would be very good!”
Laura: we’ll get it. I promise.
But that when she had something come over her...
Laura: do one of you know how to cook? Because if so... maybe we can cook something... make it how we want it... our own way. That’d be something to try, wouldn’t it?
Of course... what they didn’t know was that someone was nearby. Someone she knew... or was it someone else???
“I KNOW HOW TO COOK!” Michael yelled enthusiastically.
Nicki beamed at his boyfriend and hugged him from behind.
“He’s really good. Give him a shot and he’ll give you one of the best meals of your whole entire life!” Nicki declared proudly.
For the first time, Michael smiled shyly and he flushed, looking at his hands.
“He is very very good,” Luke jumped in with a small smile. “And-“
Michael tensed and his ears perked up. His fingers slid over the dagger sheathed to his hip.
“Someone. Is. Following. Us,” he gritted out.
While they had been walking and suddenly stopped to get with clear cooking... a trio of girls were close by and were lost as their bearings were messed up. They didn’t know where they ended up as for a few years they were attending Yale. If you are wondering how they got there... you might want to go see on talking to a certain celebrity who shares the same last name as they do. The BLOODLINE of LIGHTFOOT! It was more of them. Much more. Why... because what no one will understand is that Lightfoot is a very big family. A clan if you will.
The trio of girls were traveling for weeks and had no idea of how they got to where they were... now. These girls were however on a journey as well and through it all... they managed to at least 5 Pokémon. Got a starter and caught 4. One got a Magnemite. One got a Drowzee and one got a Heracross. They within seconds came across a group of guys and not knowing it... across a girl. One of their own.
]Sunkist: Hey there. Could you guys tell us where we are? We’re kinda lost and don’t know where to go.
Kiwi: Do you guys know where we can pick up something to eat?
Isabel: *Looking to the side; sighs* God... I need a smoke... I’m out of smokes and of course if we were still with our aunt Macie... she’d be so against the smoking. She’s a very sweet loving person. But sweet mother of bloody seriously... she can be such a goodie goodie sometimes. Geez!
Michael didn’t relax, his fingers curled around the handle of his dagger. He could be extremely hostile when it came to meeting others and meeting other people.
Of course , Nicki just grabbed his wrist and made him calm down a little bit.
“Not exactly. We don’t know many restaurants let alone stores. We just arrived in this town like you,” He said, polite as always.
Michael continued staring at the girls with barely hidden suspicion and agitation. He just wanted people to leave them alone. Why won’t they leave them alone?
Luke, sensing Michael’s upcoming meltdown about to come, he smiled appreciatively.
“We are very sorry ladies. But we really are tired as well. We hope you find somewhere to eat,” Luke said quickly.
Michael had always been antisocial and being in a state where he didn’t know people freaked him out. Nicki was of course the opposite, but he made a conscious effort to keep him out of such situations.
The bluenette blinked a couple of times and Val, Luke, and Nicki noticed the look of panic. So Valiant excused themselves.
“Sorry but Michael and I are going to go do something very quick.”
That just left Nicki and Luke. Nicki shook his head with a reassuring smile.
“No. We weren’t really about to eat. We would’ve needed ingredients since one of us could’ve cooked for us. But we haven’t found a store yet,” he explained.
Laura: I could go and find us a store. I think that there's a Grocery store off the main drag in town. Why not make up a list of ingredients and things needed for the cooking and i'll go and get them for us all.
Laura's Lucario came out and suddenly scouted for danger. He was sensing something... but for the strangest part... nothing was nearby to pose as a means of danger.
Lucario: *Using an Aura Sphere on the location to protect everyone* ...
Laura: *Looking at everyone* Don't worry. This is just a thing he does. He's just being pretty protective as over the last few days... i had to come across at least 7 encounters with those Team Magma creeps. He doesn't want to take anything to chance. Precautionary measures... usually give a piece of mind.
Michael began to relax ever so slightly and he nodded begrudgingly. Nicki nodded as well in agreement as he knew that cooking would help Michael destress and calm down.
“Here, one moment,” Michael murmured, taking out his notebook. He began writing down fruits and vegetables with other essential items. Then he yanked off the paper.
“Here you go,” he said softly, handing it to her.
Absol perked up at Lucario’s presence and Michael laid a hand on his back. The disaster Pokémon was tense now and Michael massages in between its shoulder blades.
“That’s understandable if you’ve attacked that many.”
Laura looked at the list and nodded. She then called over her Rapidash and went right on over to the store... Grabbing the stuff needed for the cooking. Collecting what was needed. If by anything... she was gone from the spot where they were for like about a half hour. But she in time came back and produced all the things that were on the list. All the ingredients. Fruits and Vegetables. Condiments. Spices and herbs that were gonna be in need for what was being cooked. She came also with a pack for Isabel. For the shopping that she did... she surely delivered...
Laura: Here you go. All the items... on the list from the top to the very bottom. *To Isabel* Isabel, Here's a pack of smokes. For you. But try not to go through it before we reach a bigger town or city. This town is scarce in resources. Not much to really look at. Friendly town... but there's not much to really see.
Isabel: Okay.
Sunkist: *Looking at the area* Is this really... all there is in this town?
Laura: Afraid so.
Lucario looked at Absol and nodded.
Lucario: *To Absol* Absol, Take heart. We're here to protect our trainers and human companions. Our mission and purpose is equal. I don't seek to fight you. As you wouldn't seek to fight me. We share the same thoughts as we have trainers that we would defend with our lives. don't let your sense of unease cloud that. Being a trusted companion and protector to those who train us is everything to us pokemon. It's everything to us.
Laura listened and could only gasp in shock...
Michael had been absentmindedly stroking Absol’s fur gently. He just looked at Nicki who was goofing off with his Pikachu while Luke was trying to tease them.
Absol nodded to Lucario back with a murmur of thankfulness.
I do not seek to fight you like you said Lucario. Before my Michael found me, I was trapped under a rock. He saved me even though I bit him and growled at him. He is my everything to me. My trainer, my companion.
“What?” Michael asked when his cat ears perked up at the surprised noise emitted from Laura. “Do you hear someone? Something?”
“Calm down Michael. You’re barraging her with questions geez!” Luke scolded with a smile.
Laura couldn't help but giggle... She was surprised to hear her Lucario speak like he did... But she giggled at the sudden barrage of questions. She thought that it was funny.
But she nodded. She was happy.
With the way that the rest of the night progressed... There was little to no trouble or issues popping up from the wayside. Nothing. They all ate... A very swell meal which Laura watched Michael make. It was a real swell dream.
By time the next morning came...
Laura: *Waking up and looking around* The town looks rather peaceful...
Lucario: *Working out a little* It's a beautiful morning. But never a bad time to get some exercises in. It always perks up the muscles and the blood.
Sunkist: *Waking up and stretching* Wow... What a night. First night in awhile since the last time we had a peaceful rest. God... That was good. Really relaxing.
What were they to do for the day... who knew as it was only about to start...
Michael used to work at a ramen restaurant where the top chef took a liking to his quick, sharp tongue and sarcastic nature. They taught him everything he knew, until the place got robbed and the owner was soon killed in the process. Another tragedy to add to Michael’s list of depressing situations. Whenever Michael got stressed, he would cook. Or sing. Mostly cook though. So it actually helped him as he began cooking for everyone.
When they woke up, Nicki was still asleep. Michael was awake as always, since he had chronic insomnia. He was just sitting on a roof, fiddling with what looked to be a violin.
Luke stirred a little at the voices, and at the sound of a haunting tune yet beautiful notes floated through the air. It was sad, melancholic, yet somehow hopeful. Nicki too awoke and smiled as he listened to the music. It brought back good memories.
“Nothing like Michael’s violin playing to wake ya up,” Nicki declared, standing up and grabbing his glasses.
Laura looked at the scenery and suddenly out of having that need for listening to the radio...
Laura: *Turning on the Radio and listening in* ...
Radio: *Broadcasting* HELLOOOOOOO! METROPOLIS and the REST OF THE HEARTLAND OF THE U.S.A! This is your favorite Watchdog of the land and the city of Metropolis... Lord Arnold.

Laura: Wow... What a tune. What a tune. But how come i don't know who they are? Why don't i know them? They sound like a bit... Like The Rising Star.
Sunkist: Cousin Macie's Kids... You sure that's them?
Kiwi: That don't sound... like them... her kids. Does it? *A little confused*
Laura: That is them... They're in Buckner. At least... they should be. We should find out for ourselves... Shouldn't we?
Lucario: *Nods* I believe that it'd be best if we did go check and see. We should see what's up.
Kiwi: Maybe we ought to.
Isabel: Is that the only thing we're gonna do today?
Laura: No. there are other things we can also so. Perhaps have a friendly battle. Or we can explore around town... Get a feel of the area. Besides come after the concert... We're gonna be heading to Wellington, Missouri. From there... after a maybe two day stay in that town... City. It's off to Lexington... From there... Who really knows where it'll take us?
Sunkist: At least there's that. Right?
Kiwi: Yeah. *Feeling a little hungry*...
Michael had hopped down from atop the building, putting his instrument away and slinging it across his back expertly, petting his Absol affectionately. He just wanted to sleep more honestly, despite the fact that he in general hated sleeping. Nicki sat down next to him, kissing his lips once before Michael poked him in the stomach with a mischievous smile.
“Control yourself.”
“The- I- you-“ He spluttered, trying to explain why he was TRYING to just cheer his boyfriend up, but instead got accused of something else entirely different and inappropriate.
“I’m joking,” michael deadpanned at his boyfriend.
While the two other males bickered lovingly with each other, Luke was listening to the music and humming along a little bit. Valiant was drumming his fingers against his leg to the rhythm steadily, bobbing his head like always whenever he listened to music.
When it was over and the girls began talking, the other four of them sat there confused. What were they talking about? Everything was extremely... unfocused and disorienting. Just new in general and even though Michael wouldn’t admit it, it half made him panic.
“What are you guys talking about? I mean, we know what you’re saying.... but we’re still a little out of the loop here. Mind filling us in?” Michael asked loudly.
“Michael!” Nicki scolded, elbowing him.
“What? I just wanted to know!”

Nicki and Michael had no sense of direction. It used to be hilarious until they couldn’t find their way to a city and Michael’s Absol was injured. It resulted into a whole fight between the two.
Luke and Valiant decompressed the disruption, pointing out where they should be going. Apparently, Michael and Nicki didn’t talk to each other for almost two weeks.
Ah, fun traveling moments on their journeys.
“Well, you haven’t met us. If it’s a straight path, we usually find ourselves lost,” Michael said with a snicker. “We get lost. A lot.”
“All the time actually,” Nicki corrected. “Before we met up with Val and Luke again.”

Laura: That's a shame. But... you won't have to worry. I'll lead and make sure that you guys never get lost again. Plus... if music is played... it'd take your mind off of that idea of being lost. Music did seem to have an effect on you. So... It'd help carry you through.
Laura was not too sure about who they were. However... for what she knew about them... They were honest and very sincere. Lost trainers... With no sense of clear direction. She felt bad for them. Really bad and wanted to help them out as best as possibly could. Not knowing that once she came across relatives of hers... things would change a little. Oh well... Perhaps things would be better. It was very likely. Only good things were to come.
Michael snorted and just shook his head. This woman REALLY didn’t know them.
“Well, we used to sing and stuff.”
“I didn’t MEAN my words! I was hungry and cranky, geez!” Luke defended before Laura heard the whole story.
“But LUKE over hear told us to shut our g****** ******* mouthed before he did it for us.”
“I said I was sorry,” Luke muttered.
Ever since that had happened, there was always something between the blonde and the bluenette. They seemed to always fight and they were always at each other’s throats.
Nicki knew why. Michael had used music in moments of pain (mentally and physically) and ever since they hadn’t sang on their little trips, all that filled the air was silence and tension. Luke admittedly apologized multiple times. Nicki and Valiant attempted to calm them down and get them to play cards with each other again, but they refused to. The only thing they did was train with each other. THEN when Nicki tried to sing, Michael had given him a glare and walked off. They didn’t find him for two days, where he was sitting in a tree with some Pokémon.
Again, the relationships between the four of them were dissolving. Nicki could feel it. It made him sad and desperate to bring his friends back.
https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/laura-eunji-watanabe-1.jpg
Laura played music as she lead the way over to the town of buckner. She could tell from the looks of things... they were all gonna need a campsite... within town. They didn't seem to have much equipment or anything. much of any items. So... they were gonna need a stock-up of them. Alot.
Laura: This is gonna be wonderful. you know, Meeting you guys. Since meeting you guys... it feels like i found my own sense of belonging. You guys have accepted me and i'm a girl... with a bunch of guys. You guys are pretty sweet.
Laura's Lucario ventured up ahead a little to scout for any spots of trouble. Looking to make sure that the path was safe. There was sure to be trouble close at hand. At any time... but as far as any of them knew... things were safe as could be.
Laura: Maybe if we can find a food place... we can all grab some food. Have a warm meal. I at this point... think that it'd do us all a real bit of good. Don't you think do so too? *Walking and leading*
Nicki’s eyes lit up and suddenly, he joined in a began singing in a different language. Michael and Luke tensed but Nicki wrapped his arm around Laura and Michael’s shoulders with a goofy smile. Michael couldn’t help but laugh now, and began singing along too. Soon, tension disappeared.
They were pretty much goofing off, pretending that they had any chance or rivaling Michael’s pure and simple, but moving vocals. Nicki may have a close second though.
“If I must, I’m a girl. Was, at least,” Michael said. “I’m transgender. I was like you, hanging out with a bunch a guys and unable to properly fit in. Of course, I’m fine now. But we’re friendlier than we appear,” he said with a small grin.
“Yeah Michael doesn’t eat,” Valiant revealed and Michael scowled at the taller male.
“Yeah yeah yeah I’m just not hungry,”
“You’re never hungry,” Valiant pointed out with a chuckle. “But yes. Some food, water, maybe rest would be very good!”
Laura: we’ll get it. I promise.
But that when she had something come over her...
Laura: do one of you know how to cook? Because if so... maybe we can cook something... make it how we want it... our own way. That’d be something to try, wouldn’t it?
Of course... what they didn’t know was that someone was nearby. Someone she knew... or was it someone else???
“I KNOW HOW TO COOK!” Michael yelled enthusiastically.
Nicki beamed at his boyfriend and hugged him from behind.
“He’s really good. Give him a shot and he’ll give you one of the best meals of your whole entire life!” Nicki declared proudly.
For the first time, Michael smiled shyly and he flushed, looking at his hands.
“He is very very good,” Luke jumped in with a small smile. “And-“
Michael tensed and his ears perked up. His fingers slid over the dagger sheathed to his hip.
“Someone. Is. Following. Us,” he gritted out.
While they had been walking and suddenly stopped to get with clear cooking... a trio of girls were close by and were lost as their bearings were messed up. They didn’t know where they ended up as for a few years they were attending Yale. If you are wondering how they got there... you might want to go see on talking to a certain celebrity who shares the same last name as they do. The BLOODLINE of LIGHTFOOT! It was more of them. Much more. Why... because what no one will understand is that Lightfoot is a very big family. A clan if you will.
The trio of girls were traveling for weeks and had no idea of how they got to where they were... now. These girls were however on a journey as well and through it all... they managed to at least 5 Pokémon. Got a starter and caught 4. One got a Magnemite. One got a Drowzee and one got a Heracross. They within seconds came across a group of guys and not knowing it... across a girl. One of their own.
]Sunkist: Hey there. Could you guys tell us where we are? We’re kinda lost and don’t know where to go.
Kiwi: Do you guys know where we can pick up something to eat?
Isabel: *Looking to the side; sighs* God... I need a smoke... I’m out of smokes and of course if we were still with our aunt Macie... she’d be so against the smoking. She’s a very sweet loving person. But sweet mother of bloody seriously... she can be such a goodie goodie sometimes. Geez!
Michael didn’t relax, his fingers curled around the handle of his dagger. He could be extremely hostile when it came to meeting others and meeting other people.
Of course , Nicki just grabbed his wrist and made him calm down a little bit.
“Not exactly. We don’t know many restaurants let alone stores. We just arrived in this town like you,” He said, polite as always.
Michael continued staring at the girls with barely hidden suspicion and agitation. He just wanted people to leave them alone. Why won’t they leave them alone?
Luke, sensing Michael’s upcoming meltdown about to come, he smiled appreciatively.
“We are very sorry ladies. But we really are tired as well. We hope you find somewhere to eat,” Luke said quickly.
Michael had always been antisocial and being in a state where he didn’t know people freaked him out. Nicki was of course the opposite, but he made a conscious effort to keep him out of such situations.
The bluenette blinked a couple of times and Val, Luke, and Nicki noticed the look of panic. So Valiant excused themselves.
“Sorry but Michael and I are going to go do something very quick.”
That just left Nicki and Luke. Nicki shook his head with a reassuring smile.
“No. We weren’t really about to eat. We would’ve needed ingredients since one of us could’ve cooked for us. But we haven’t found a store yet,” he explained.
Laura: I could go and find us a store. I think that there's a Grocery store off the main drag in town. Why not make up a list of ingredients and things needed for the cooking and i'll go and get them for us all.

Sunkist: That's true.
The girls were with a good point. It was one thing that they all had to stop and think. Where in Buckner... were the celebs?

Jeremy You want to battle... before breakfast? We didn't even have breakfast yet... Of course... You're right. It'd be a wise idea to train up so we will be ready to fight against that Evil team. We can do this...
Lisa: Sure we can... I just wish that it didn't have to be because it's to rescue our mother. It isn't fair. She was taken... abducted by that evil team. What if we never find her? It'd be pointless to train...
Nicole: No it wouldn't. We all have our mom's mindset... We just have to channel it and hone in on it. Use it to help us out...
Ross: Don't worry. We have that capability. The person outside... will be more willing to aid.
Saphiroth: Let's go see who it is. Our stuff's packed up and we're all set to go anyway.
A Minute later...
Outside...
Doralee: *Seeing the Rising Lights and Jeremy* Well... Howdy there, Lightfoot kids.
Lisa: Wha... Mrs. Harper... What are you doing here? How did you get here?
Doralee: I've rid here by my horse. My good ole horse. Pearling Black Sam But also got me a heard of Taurus's and Bouffolant. I raise them and you know... They tend to somehow have this fond habit of emitting Thunder with their hooves and the stampeding that they do.
Jeremy: Really?!
Doralee: You betcha. They sure do. I am sure that you might happen to catch them sometime... They started their stampeding this morning and they... I tell you that they are just itching for giving a stampede to anything in its path... Don't worry though... they only do it upon wide open fields... and the countryside. But when it comes to being near a city limit or a widely populated area... They are neutral and calm as newborn baby calfs. Soft as ever and playful as pussycats.
Darlene: Wow... That's outstanding.
Curtis: We were on our way to train. Hold a Pokemon battle with one another...
Doralee: Does any of this have anything to do with That wily evil team Team Magma?
Jeremy: You don't really need to speak about them... They have our mother.
Doralee: Your mother... Macie. She's been taken by them? You're pullin' my hyde. Are you sure?
Lisa: Sadly... we are.
Doralee: Well... Don't that beat all? I saw the news reports... but i really thought that i was dreaming about that part. *Seeing a unfamiliar face* Hello there sugar. Who might you be?
Nicole: That's our friend... Mendosa. He's a trainer from California. Originally. But he's pretty suave too.
Jeremy: *Hearing the Radio* The Radio's been talking about the concert of ours tomorrow. It's getting alot of talk.
Ross: We heard. You guys are lucky. It's gonna be amazing.
Radio: *Broadcasting; As Lord Arnold* This is another hit from the Gay flavor of the Rising Lights... PASSION KISS! It's his hit... SPARKS... Here as the countdown to the Buckner Missouri Concert rolls on! Here... on MRHAP METROPOLIS... The Station that keeps bringing you the best of the hits forming from coast to coast...
The music plays...
Jeremy's Spark
Radio: *Broadcasting as Jeremy; Singing* "I can't hear a single word
Just know you're talking, 'cause your lips keep moving
Everything I thought I learned
Goes out the window, all I want is one thing
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Ticking-tocking like a bomb
Throws me back to when I had you closer
Skin to skin, we get it on
Without the love, I feel you going bolder
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Take it all off, want every inch of you
Traveling back in time
Tangled uptight, just like we used to
Now do that thing I like
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go"
Was something gonna follow???
Mandosa turned around, having a feeling someone arrived on their trusty steed, and allowing her to introduce herself.
Mandosa: "Heya'! I bet you're good friends with these travelers?"
The moment the radio started playing, it clicked in his head that they really were performers. Singers. They had the most amazing voices he didn't ever think they were famous. He as well as the other Pokemon still out listened in to the song.
Even Gallade was tapping to the beat, and Litten tried to dance on his paws, but ran into Starmie.
Litten: "Mrow! Rr-- row."
Mandosa nodded in approval the moment the song ended.
Mandosa: "That's quite a song there! Wish I'd known about ya'. I'm guessing it's more popular here in the east than the west. Just my guess. I don't really know many artists."
Then... his belly rumbles.
Mandosa: "Agh... let's head right into breakfast. I bet Litten is starved by now."
Litten was butting his head onto the Starmie who somehow doesn't topple, but isn't bothered, either.
Doralee: *To Mendosa* You better know it, Darlin'. I happen to know their ma. Their Ma is well famous and very well known. They call me... or i am well known as "The Kissing Bronco" Doralee "The Kissing Bronco" Harper. That be me.
Jeremy: She's very much like a western riding cowgirl. Multi-seasoned and very formal with western accent. But she's a wise person of the heartland. She knows what's what.
Sandy: The song was pretty amazing. I've done a couple or so with him. Like...
Jeremy: Sandy... Not now. Please... Not now.
Sandy: Yeah. Let him hear it. He's gonna be curious about it. It's best to just let him hear it. He'll want to hear it.
Jeremy: *Grins* Okay... I guess we might as well... Let's do it.
Within seconds...
Jeremy: *With Sandy; Singing* “I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin’ the lines
When you’re making a scene
Oh girl, you’ve got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it’s watching for lies
You can’t escape my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching
You watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that ain’t enough
‘Cause girl I’m gonna know
If you’re letting me in or letting me go
Don’t lie when you’re hurting inside
‘Cause you can’t escape my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching
You watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
I’m a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
I’ll still know you
Look into my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you

Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you

Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you”
Doralee: WOW! *With wide eyes* That's a real sound. Real sound and heartland tune.
Lisa: That sure was... We sing too. But... i think that it's best that we all get something to eat first before we head for a battle and start doing some training. We haven't eaten anything yet.
Doralee: If you're lookin' for a good eat... For Breakfast and all... you could try this place that's in Blue Springs. It's called the Big Biscuit. It has breakfast cuisine and good hearty homestyle... country style breakfasts. It's in Blue Springs... which is west of here. But the place is family friendly and very homey with its zeal for country hospitality.
Darlene: That's cool.
Jeremy: Mendosa... What say you, You're kinda like a type who is sporadic in trying different spots and the sort. Does that sound alright? It's a hearty meal and it's the best bet for a full meal to get us all goin.
Sandy's Drillbur comes out and Jumps into Sandy's arms...
Drillbur: Let's go. I'm hungry. Our stomach's are rumbling and if we don't eat soon... we're gonna be sick.
Doralee: I know where the place is at... I'll do the honors and lead you all to it. Come on. Let's go and get you guys and gals... some hearty grub.
And they were off...
Mandosa smiled. The song was going to be in his head for a long while. It was astounding!
Mandosa: "Wonderful! Man, all of this singing. Wish I'd dance more to that, but food calls."
He looked at Doralee, nodding at her.
Mandosa: "Hey, thanks for the suggestion! Wasn't sure what the place was. Thought it was a spa of sorts."
He chuckles a bit. Now, he'll feel better now there was a food place close by. He got his Pokémon's Pokeballs, and returned them all... except for Litten.
Litten: "Aow!"
The cute Litten reached his palm high, wanting up on his shoulder, super lazy to leap up there himself. This made Mandosa giggle.
Mandosa: "Here."
He lifted the adorable Litten up on his shoulder, arching his back, applying paw pressure to his shoulder which he doesn't mind before laying on his shoulder to catch up on some Z's.
Mandosa looked to the others.
Mandosa: "Well, if we're gonna try there, I call dibs on fries."
He chuckles. He normally makes that joke with his Pokemon. One of his favorite side dishes are fries. Then, he clarified for Jeremy.
Mandosa: "Oh yeah. Picky eater, but hey, not like trying out what they have at other places. You'd find a pizza dish one moment, then call it a pizza pie the next."
Litten meowed in his ear, wanting food already once he tugged on his ear.
Mandosa: "Ahhh okay okay! Let's get going! I'm starved. Thanks so much for the suggestion!"
He wonders if he'll find a special encounter along the way. However, most of the Pokemon were still asleep this early. After a while of looking around, he continues to the restaurant.

Gallade: "Uhhh..."
Mandosa looked around at his Pokemon, confused as to why they were acting so sad.
Mandosa: "What's wrong? Why you all lookin' at me like that? We're going to save their mother, isn't that right, Litten?"
Litten grumbled in a meowing voice, shrugging his shoulders.
Litten: "Mrow."
Mandosa grins. "Y'know what'll get us in a mood? A once-in-a-lifetime Pokemon Battle, hm? Wha' ya' say? Let's train ourselves up before we take 'em on, huh?"
Of course, Mandosa usually battles with his Pokemon, but offered it up to the trainers like it was true.
Starmie glimmers as if it thinks Mandosa is very clueless as to what had really, really happened.
Alolan Sandshrew tried reaching a hand up to convince him.
Alolan Sandshrew: "Shrew, shrew."
Mandosa raised an eyebrow, still clueless. He was out all night. He couldn't keep up with the news. It's not normally his style.

Doralee listened to him and couldn't help but guffaw and chortle with delight...
Doralee: *Busting up laughing a little bit* Gollllllllie! You are a real hoot, Dumpling. You are a real expressive and animated young cowpoke. But you know... i gotta love your enthusiasm. It's a real treat.
Jeremy: Mendosa.... I think that you're a sure fixin' to her good side. She seems to like you alot. Enjoys your energy.
Lisa: That's a good sign.
Jeremy: You better believe it. IT is a good sign. A wonderful one at that.
Pansear and Pansage Walked had in hand happily and with glee.
It was when they made it to the Restaurant... as they were with the concern of where the Rising Star was being kept.
Kimberly: *Spotting Jeremy* Hey Jeremy... didn't see you in school the other day. What the heck happened?
Jeremy: I'm on a journey.
Kimberly: A Journey? A pokemon Journey... right?
Lisa: It's also a journey to rescue our Mom.
Kimberly: Your mom?! What... You mean... she's been taken?
Darlene: That's correct. She was. By Team Magma.
Kimberly: Shit... I should have figured that those bozo's would try something devious. I wouldn't put it past them if they managed to kill her. They're seedy and very brutal. Plus malicious. That leader.... MAXIE. He's no pushover. You screw with him... you might as well just kiss your backside goodbye. It will be done. You won't make it out in one piece. He will see to that. Trust me. I've caught some of their battles. The Archives. That guy is vicious. You can believe that. He is. Vicious.
Jeremy: We'll keep that in mind.
Kimberly: *Walking over to Jeremy and Kissing him on the lips* Missed you.
Jeremy: I missed you too.
Nicole: He has.
Kimberly: Would it be okay if i came along? I'm shootin' for an adventure and going it alone... is not exactly one calls and considers a power trip.
Saphiroth: Sure.
As soon as they made it inside the restaurant...

Doralee: Your mother... Macie. She's been taken by them? You're pullin' my hyde. Are you sure?
Lisa: Sadly... we are.
Doralee: Well... Don't that beat all? I saw the news reports... but i really thought that i was dreaming about that part. *Seeing a unfamiliar face* Hello there sugar. Who might you be?
Nicole: That's our friend... Mendosa. He's a trainer from California. Originally. But he's pretty suave too.
Jeremy: *Hearing the Radio* The Radio's been talking about the concert of ours tomorrow. It's getting alot of talk.
Ross: We heard. You guys are lucky. It's gonna be amazing.
Radio: *Broadcasting; As Lord Arnold* This is another hit from the Gay flavor of the Rising Lights... PASSION KISS! It's his hit... SPARKS... Here as the countdown to the Buckner Missouri Concert rolls on! Here... on MRHAP METROPOLIS... The Station that keeps bringing you the best of the hits forming from coast to coast...
The music plays...
Jeremy's Spark
Radio: *Broadcasting as Jeremy; Singing* "I can't hear a single word
Just know you're talking, 'cause your lips keep moving
Everything I thought I learned
Goes out the window, all I want is one thing
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Ticking-tocking like a bomb
Throws me back to when I had you closer
Skin to skin, we get it on
Without the love, I feel you going bolder
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Take it all off, want every inch of you
Traveling back in time
Tangled uptight, just like we used to
Now do that thing I like
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go"
Was something gonna follow???
Mandosa turned around, having a feeling someone arrived on their trusty steed, and allowing her to introduce herself.
Mandosa: "Heya'! I bet you're good friends with these travelers?"
The moment the radio started playing, it clicked in his head that they really were performers. Singers. They had the most amazing voices he didn't ever think they were famous. He as well as the other Pokemon still out listened in to the song.
Even Gallade was tapping to the beat, and Litten tried to dance on his paws, but ran into Starmie.
Litten: "Mrow! Rr-- row."
Mandosa nodded in approval the moment the song ended.
Mandosa: "That's quite a song there! Wish I'd known about ya'. I'm guessing it's more popular here in the east than the west. Just my guess. I don't really know many artists."
Then... his belly rumbles.
Mandosa: "Agh... let's head right into breakfast. I bet Litten is starved by now."
Litten was butting his head onto the Starmie who somehow doesn't topple, but isn't bothered, either.
Doralee: *To Mendosa* You better know it, Darlin'. I happen to know their ma. Their Ma is well famous and very well known. They call me... or i am well known as "The Kissing Bronco" Doralee "The Kissing Bronco" Harper. That be me.
Jeremy: She's very much like a western riding cowgirl. Multi-seasoned and very formal with western accent. But she's a wise person of the heartland. She knows what's what.
Sandy: The song was pretty amazing. I've done a couple or so with him. Like...
Jeremy: Sandy... Not now. Please... Not now.
Sandy: Yeah. Let him hear it. He's gonna be curious about it. It's best to just let him hear it. He'll want to hear it.
Jeremy: *Grins* Okay... I guess we might as well... Let's do it.
Within seconds...
Jeremy: *With Sandy; Singing* “I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin’ the lines
When you’re making a scene
Oh girl, you’ve got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it’s watching for lies
You can’t escape my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching
You watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that ain’t enough
‘Cause girl I’m gonna know
If you’re letting me in or letting me go
Don’t lie when you’re hurting inside
‘Cause you can’t escape my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching
You watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
I’m a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
I’ll still know you
Look into my
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes

Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you”
Doralee: WOW! *With wide eyes* That's a real sound. Real sound and heartland tune.
Lisa: That sure was... We sing too. But... i think that it's best that we all get something to eat first before we head for a battle and start doing some training. We haven't eaten anything yet.
Doralee: If you're lookin' for a good eat... For Breakfast and all... you could try this place that's in Blue Springs. It's called the Big Biscuit. It has breakfast cuisine and good hearty homestyle... country style breakfasts. It's in Blue Springs... which is west of here. But the place is family friendly and very homey with its zeal for country hospitality.
Darlene: That's cool.
Jeremy: Mendosa... What say you, You're kinda like a type who is sporadic in trying different spots and the sort. Does that sound alright? It's a hearty meal and it's the best bet for a full meal to get us all goin.
Sandy's Drillbur comes out and Jumps into Sandy's arms...
Drillbur: Let's go. I'm hungry. Our stomach's are rumbling and if we don't eat soon... we're gonna be sick.
Doralee: I know where the place is at... I'll do the honors and lead you all to it. Come on. Let's go and get you guys and gals... some hearty grub.
And they were off...
Mandosa smiled. The song was going to be in his head for a long while. It was astounding!
Mandosa: "Wonderful! Man, all of this singing. Wish I'd dance more to that, but food calls."
He looked at Doralee, nodding at her.
Mandosa: "Hey, thanks for the suggestion! Wasn't sure what the place was. Thought it was a spa of sorts."
He chuckles a bit. Now, he'll feel better now there was a food place close by. He got his Pokémon's Pokeballs, and returned them all... except for Litten.
Litten: "Aow!"
The cute Litten reached his palm high, wanting up on his shoulder, super lazy to leap up there himself. This made Mandosa giggle.
Mandosa: "Here."
He lifted the adorable Litten up on his shoulder, arching his back, applying paw pressure to his shoulder which he doesn't mind before laying on his shoulder to catch up on some Z's.
Mandosa looked to the others.
Mandosa: "Well, if we're gonna try there, I call dibs on fries."
He chuckles. He normally makes that joke with his Pokemon. One of his favorite side dishes are fries. Then, he clarified for Jeremy.
Mandosa: "Oh yeah. Picky eater, but hey, not like trying out what they have at other places. You'd find a pizza dish one moment, then call it a pizza pie the next."
Litten meowed in his ear, wanting food already once he tugged on his ear.
Mandosa: "Ahhh okay okay! Let's get going! I'm starved. Thanks so much for the suggestion!"
He wonders if he'll find a special encounter along the way. However, most of the Pokemon were still asleep this early. After a while of looking around, he continues to the restaurant.
Doralee listened to him and couldn't help but guffaw and chortle with delight...
Doralee: *Busting up laughing a little bit* Gollllllllie! You are a real hoot, Dumpling. You are a real expressive and animated young cowpoke. But you know... i gotta love your enthusiasm. It's a real treat.
Jeremy: Mendosa.... I think that you're a sure fixin' to her good side. She seems to like you alot. Enjoys your energy.
Lisa: That's a good sign.
Jeremy: You better believe it. IT is a good sign. A wonderful one at that.
Pansear and Pansage Walked had in hand happily and with glee.
It was when they made it to the Restaurant... as they were with the concern of where the Rising Star was being kept.
Kimberly: *Spotting Jeremy* Hey Jeremy... didn't see you in school the other day. What the heck happened?
Jeremy: I'm on a journey.
Kimberly: A Journey? A pokemon Journey... right?
Lisa: It's also a journey to rescue our Mom.
Kimberly: Your mom?! What... You mean... she's been taken?
Darlene: That's correct. She was. By Team Magma.
Kimberly: Shit... I should have figured that those bozo's would try something devious. I wouldn't put it past them if they managed to kill her. They're seedy and very brutal. Plus malicious. That leader.... MAXIE. He's no pushover. You screw with him... you might as well just kiss your backside goodbye. It will be done. You won't make it out in one piece. He will see to that. Trust me. I've caught some of their battles. The Archives. That guy is vicious. You can believe that. He is. Vicious.
Jeremy: We'll keep that in mind.
Kimberly: *Walking over to Jeremy and Kissing him on the lips* Missed you.
Jeremy: I missed you too.
Nicole: He has.
Kimberly: Would it be okay if i came along? I'm shootin' for an adventure and going it alone... is not exactly one calls and considers a power trip.
Saphiroth: Sure.
As soon as they made it inside the restaurant...
Back in the borderline of Buckner from the direction of Metropolis...
Alice: *Getting out of the Cab* Thank you for the ride, Sir. Thanks. *Grabbing her bags and handing the fare over before making off to look for the kids*
While walking....
Alice: Hmm... Those kids should be somewhere along the main drag. Just hope that the drag didn't drag them instead of them dragging it.
However as she went her way....
O'aka: *Spotting Alice* Well... I'll be. If it ain't Alice. The faithful loyal housekeeper to the Lightfoots. What say ye being on the road all by your pretty lonesome?
Alice: I'm trying to get to the kids. I'm looking for them.
O'aka: You be lookin' for them you say? Alas... they be very surprised to be seein' you. However... i do believe that you missed them. They're not here. If anything... i would say they be....
Alice: Where? Did you see them?
O'aka: O'aka sure has... They were headin' to the Town Hall.
Alice: You know where that might be?
O'aka: With this GPS gadget... you betcha that i do. It's north of here... down on Buckner Tarsney Rd. That's right over there just ahead.
Alice: Thank you.
O'aka: You sure you gonna be alright there, Alice?
Alice: Oh yeah. I will be. Thank you.
Alice let out a couple of pokemon of her own. Actually they were Macie's. But she did catch a couple of her own. One being a Roserade. Of Macie's pokemon... she had a Dewott, Crawdaunt and Beedrill. Plus also Ivysaur. They came along for the ride as well as they too were very worried about their trainer Macie... and also about the kids. If Team Magma was out there... Danger was likely foretold to circle around the kids. Alice had to hurry and she knew it...
She went in the bus to go to the United States, being oblivious on what is happening.
"I wonder what occurred here... did something get stolen?"
So she walked forward, and saw something she never saw. However, her Pokémon sounded like it was saying it's name in a high pitch.
"Is this normally supposed to happen? Though I sure am feeling bad for it." Then I had a flashback on when my Pokémon got nearly kidnapped by a group of people that I seemed to not know. And then I look around, to see if they appeared again. *With relief, I sighed*, Then I moved on, and headed forward, unfamiliar with this place, as if she never went here.
"Okay, now I am just going to look around. And why this?" Then I had an encounter again. So I got annoyed, and decided to catch it instead.
"Every single time I get in a new place, why do I have to deal with an encounter?"
"I wonder what occurred here... did something get stolen?"

The pokemon were still looking sad as they tried to look up at him with their sad faces, except for Gallade who was confused, scratching the back of his head as he was puzzled.
Gallade: "Uhhh..."
Mandosa looked around at his Pokemon, confused as to why they were acting so sad.
Mandosa: "What's wrong? Why you all lookin' at me like that? We're going to save their mother, isn't that right, Litten?"
Litten grumbled in a meowing voice, shrugging his shoulders.
Litten: "Mrow."
Mandosa grins. "Y'know what'll get us in a mood? A once-in-a-lifetime Pokemon Battle, hm? Wha' ya' say? Let's train ourselves up before we take 'em on, huh?"
Of course, Mandosa usually battles with his Pokemon, but offered it up to the trainers like it was true.
Starmie glimmers as if it thinks Mandosa is very clueless as to what had really, really happened.
Alolan Sandshrew tried reaching a hand up to convince him.
Alolan Sandshrew: "Shrew, shrew."
Mandosa raised an eyebrow, still clueless. He was out all night. He couldn't keep up with the news. It's not normally his style.

Jeremy You want to battle... before breakfast? We didn't even have breakfast yet... Of course... You're right. It'd be a wise idea to train up so we will be ready to fight against that Evil team. We can do this...
Lisa: Sure we can... I just wish that it didn't have to be because it's to rescue our mother. It isn't fair. She was taken... abducted by that evil team. What if we never find her? It'd be pointless to train...
Nicole: No it wouldn't. We all have our mom's mindset... We just have to channel it and hone in on it. Use it to help us out...
Ross: Don't worry. We have that capability. The person outside... will be more willing to aid.
Saphiroth: Let's go see who it is. Our stuff's packed up and we're all set to go anyway.
A Minute later...
Outside...
Doralee: *Seeing the Rising Lights and Jeremy* Well... Howdy there, Lightfoot kids.
Lisa: Wha... Mrs. Harper... What are you doing here? How did you get here?
Doralee: I've rid here by my horse. My good ole horse. Pearling Black Sam But also got me a heard of Taurus's and Bouffolant. I raise them and you know... They tend to somehow have this fond habit of emitting Thunder with their hooves and the stampeding that they do.
Jeremy: Really?!
Doralee: You betcha. They sure do. I am sure that you might happen to catch them sometime... They started their stampeding this morning and they... I tell you that they are just itching for giving a stampede to anything in its path... Don't worry though... they only do it upon wide open fields... and the countryside. But when it comes to being near a city limit or a widely populated area... They are neutral and calm as newborn baby calfs. Soft as ever and playful as pussycats.
Darlene: Wow... That's outstanding.
Curtis: We were on our way to train. Hold a Pokemon battle with one another...
Doralee: Does any of this have anything to do with That wily evil team Team Magma?
Jeremy: You don't really need to speak about them... They have our mother.
Doralee: Your mother... Macie. She's been taken by them? You're pullin' my hyde. Are you sure?
Lisa: Sadly... we are.
Doralee: Well... Don't that beat all? I saw the news reports... but i really thought that i was dreaming about that part. *Seeing a unfamiliar face* Hello there sugar. Who might you be?

O'aka: With this GPS gadget... you betcha that i do. It's north of here... down on Buckner Tarsney Rd. That's right over there just ahead.
Alice: Thank you.
O'aka: You sure you gonna be alright there, Alice?
Alice: Oh yeah. I will be. Thank you.
Alice let out a couple of pokemon of her own. Actually they were Macie's. But she did catch a couple of her own. One being a Roserade. Of Macie's pokemon... she had a Dewott, Crawdaunt and Beedrill. Plus also Ivysaur. They came along for the ride as well as they too were very worried about their trainer Macie... and also about the kids. If Team Magma was out there... Danger was likely foretold to circle around the kids. Alice had to hurry and she knew it...
Jessie was at a motel close by and had barely left from the Motel when he happened to see Alice. He was curious as to what brought her out from the Mansion and all by her lonesome...
He went on over and pulled to the side before getting out and walking over to her...
Jessie: Alice, What're you doing out here in Buckner all by your pretty little lonesome? You on a Journey too, Love?
Alice:: Not exactly... *looking to see Jessie* Well i'll be... Jessie Rogers... What're you doing here? You asked me what i was doing here... but i should ask you the same question although... i have a hunch that it's not for the town's daiquiris.
Jessie: You've figured me out, Darling. But i guess that i'm here for the same reason you might be. To find the kids.
Alice: The kids? Who's? Macie's kids? Why... *Looking to the sides* You haven't seen them around... have you?
Jessie: Not since yesterday. They were competing in the local tournament yesterday. Jeremy and Sandy won it. But after the tournament... they made like banana's and split. To the Town hall.
Alice: Where exactly is that?
Jessie: *Looking over to the side and down the road a little* There it is. That's where it's at. Just go straight.
Alice: Thank you.
Jessie: curious though... Why're you out to find them so much? Something a miss?
Alice: Not really. Just that i have to find them. They could be in danger from that Evil Team Magma. The evil team abducted their mother and targeted them. Telling them that if they tried to interfere in any way... Their mother would be dead. Team Magma could try their luck and come after them too.
Jessie: Whoa!.... Uh, say no more, love. We'll all go and search for them. Let's go.
It was now a team effort to locate the kids. Would they get there in time???

Nicki and Michael had no sense of direction. It used to be hilarious until they couldn’t find their way to a city and Michael’s Absol was injured. It resulted into a whole fight between the two.
Luke and Valiant decompressed the disruption, pointing out where they should be going. Apparently, Michael and Nicki didn’t talk to each other for almost two weeks.
Ah, fun traveling moments on their journeys.
“Well, you haven’t met us. If it’s a straight path, we usually find ourselves lost,” Michael said with a snicker. “We get lost. A lot.”
“All the time actually,” Nicki corrected. “Before we met up with Val and Luke again.”

Laura: That's a shame. But... you won't have to worry. I'll lead and make sure that you guys never get lost again. Plus... if music is played... it'd take your mind off of that idea of being lost. Music did seem to have an effect on you. So... It'd help carry you through.
Laura was not too sure about who they were. However... for what she knew about them... They were honest and very sincere. Lost trainers... With no sense of clear direction. She felt bad for them. Really bad and wanted to help them out as best as possibly could. Not knowing that once she came across relatives of hers... things would change a little. Oh well... Perhaps things would be better. It was very likely. Only good things were to come.
Michael snorted and just shook his head. This woman REALLY didn’t know them.
“Well, we used to sing and stuff.”
“I didn’t MEAN my words! I was hungry and cranky, geez!” Luke defended before Laura heard the whole story.
“But LUKE over hear told us to shut our g****** ******* mouthed before he did it for us.”
“I said I was sorry,” Luke muttered.
Ever since that had happened, there was always something between the blonde and the bluenette. They seemed to always fight and they were always at each other’s throats.
Nicki knew why. Michael had used music in moments of pain (mentally and physically) and ever since they hadn’t sang on their little trips, all that filled the air was silence and tension. Luke admittedly apologized multiple times. Nicki and Valiant attempted to calm them down and get them to play cards with each other again, but they refused to. The only thing they did was train with each other. THEN when Nicki tried to sing, Michael had given him a glare and walked off. They didn’t find him for two days, where he was sitting in a tree with some Pokémon.
Again, the relationships between the four of them were dissolving. Nicki could feel it. It made him sad and desperate to bring his friends back.
https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/laura-eunji-watanabe-1.jpg
Laura played music as she lead the way over to the town of buckner. She could tell from the looks of things... they were all gonna need a campsite... within town. They didn't seem to have much equipment or anything. much of any items. So... they were gonna need a stock-up of them. Alot.
Laura: This is gonna be wonderful. you know, Meeting you guys. Since meeting you guys... it feels like i found my own sense of belonging. You guys have accepted me and i'm a girl... with a bunch of guys. You guys are pretty sweet.
Laura's Lucario ventured up ahead a little to scout for any spots of trouble. Looking to make sure that the path was safe. There was sure to be trouble close at hand. At any time... but as far as any of them knew... things were safe as could be.
Laura: Maybe if we can find a food place... we can all grab some food. Have a warm meal. I at this point... think that it'd do us all a real bit of good. Don't you think do so too? *Walking and leading*
Nicki’s eyes lit up and suddenly, he joined in a began singing in a different language. Michael and Luke tensed but Nicki wrapped his arm around Laura and Michael’s shoulders with a goofy smile. Michael couldn’t help but laugh now, and began singing along too. Soon, tension disappeared.
They were pretty much goofing off, pretending that they had any chance or rivaling Michael’s pure and simple, but moving vocals. Nicki may have a close second though.
“If I must, I’m a girl. Was, at least,” Michael said. “I’m transgender. I was like you, hanging out with a bunch a guys and unable to properly fit in. Of course, I’m fine now. But we’re friendlier than we appear,” he said with a small grin.
“Yeah Michael doesn’t eat,” Valiant revealed and Michael scowled at the taller male.
“Yeah yeah yeah I’m just not hungry,”
“You’re never hungry,” Valiant pointed out with a chuckle. “But yes. Some food, water, maybe rest would be very good!”
Laura: we’ll get it. I promise.
But that when she had something come over her...
Laura: do one of you know how to cook? Because if so... maybe we can cook something... make it how we want it... our own way. That’d be something to try, wouldn’t it?
Of course... what they didn’t know was that someone was nearby. Someone she knew... or was it someone else???
“I KNOW HOW TO COOK!” Michael yelled enthusiastically.
Nicki beamed at his boyfriend and hugged him from behind.
“He’s really good. Give him a shot and he’ll give you one of the best meals of your whole entire life!” Nicki declared proudly.
For the first time, Michael smiled shyly and he flushed, looking at his hands.
“He is very very good,” Luke jumped in with a small smile. “And-“
Michael tensed and his ears perked up. His fingers slid over the dagger sheathed to his hip.
“Someone. Is. Following. Us,” he gritted out.
While they had been walking and suddenly stopped to get with clear cooking... a trio of girls were close by and were lost as their bearings were messed up. They didn’t know where they ended up as for a few years they were attending Yale. If you are wondering how they got there... you might want to go see on talking to a certain celebrity who shares the same last name as they do. The BLOODLINE of LIGHTFOOT! It was more of them. Much more. Why... because what no one will understand is that Lightfoot is a very big family. A clan if you will.
The trio of girls were traveling for weeks and had no idea of how they got to where they were... now. These girls were however on a journey as well and through it all... they managed to at least 5 Pokémon. Got a starter and caught 4. One got a Magnemite. One got a Drowzee and one got a Heracross. They within seconds came across a group of guys and not knowing it... across a girl. One of their own.
]Sunkist: Hey there. Could you guys tell us where we are? We’re kinda lost and don’t know where to go.
Kiwi: Do you guys know where we can pick up something to eat?
Isabel: *Looking to the side; sighs* God... I need a smoke... I’m out of smokes and of course if we were still with our aunt Macie... she’d be so against the smoking. She’s a very sweet loving person. But sweet mother of bloody seriously... she can be such a goodie goodie sometimes. Geez!
Michael didn’t relax, his fingers curled around the handle of his dagger. He could be extremely hostile when it came to meeting others and meeting other people.
Of course , Nicki just grabbed his wrist and made him calm down a little bit.
“Not exactly. We don’t know many restaurants let alone stores. We just arrived in this town like you,” He said, polite as always.
Michael continued staring at the girls with barely hidden suspicion and agitation. He just wanted people to leave them alone. Why won’t they leave them alone?
Luke, sensing Michael’s upcoming meltdown about to come, he smiled appreciatively.
“We are very sorry ladies. But we really are tired as well. We hope you find somewhere to eat,” Luke said quickly.
Michael had always been antisocial and being in a state where he didn’t know people freaked him out. Nicki was of course the opposite, but he made a conscious effort to keep him out of such situations.
The bluenette blinked a couple of times and Val, Luke, and Nicki noticed the look of panic. So Valiant excused themselves.
“Sorry but Michael and I are going to go do something very quick.”
That just left Nicki and Luke. Nicki shook his head with a reassuring smile.
“No. We weren’t really about to eat. We would’ve needed ingredients since one of us could’ve cooked for us. But we haven’t found a store yet,” he explained.
Laura: I could go and find us a store. I think that there's a Grocery store off the main drag in town. Why not make up a list of ingredients and things needed for the cooking and i'll go and get them for us all.
Laura's Lucario came out and suddenly scouted for danger. He was sensing something... but for the strangest part... nothing was nearby to pose as a means of danger.
Lucario: *Using an Aura Sphere on the location to protect everyone* ...
Laura: *Looking at everyone* Don't worry. This is just a thing he does. He's just being pretty protective as over the last few days... i had to come across at least 7 encounters with those Team Magma creeps. He doesn't want to take anything to chance. Precautionary measures... usually give a piece of mind.
Michael began to relax ever so slightly and he nodded begrudgingly. Nicki nodded as well in agreement as he knew that cooking would help Michael destress and calm down.
“Here, one moment,” Michael murmured, taking out his notebook. He began writing down fruits and vegetables with other essential items. Then he yanked off the paper.
“Here you go,” he said softly, handing it to her.
Absol perked up at Lucario’s presence and Michael laid a hand on his back. The disaster Pokémon was tense now and Michael massages in between its shoulder blades.
“That’s understandable if you’ve attacked that many.”
Laura looked at the list and nodded. She then called over her Rapidash and went right on over to the store... Grabbing the stuff needed for the cooking. Collecting what was needed. If by anything... she was gone from the spot where they were for like about a half hour. But she in time came back and produced all the things that were on the list. All the ingredients. Fruits and Vegetables. Condiments. Spices and herbs that were gonna be in need for what was being cooked. She came also with a pack for Isabel. For the shopping that she did... she surely delivered...
Laura: Here you go. All the items... on the list from the top to the very bottom. *To Isabel* Isabel, Here's a pack of smokes. For you. But try not to go through it before we reach a bigger town or city. This town is scarce in resources. Not much to really look at. Friendly town... but there's not much to really see.
Isabel: Okay.
Sunkist: *Looking at the area* Is this really... all there is in this town?
Laura: Afraid so.
Lucario looked at Absol and nodded.
Lucario: *To Absol* Absol, Take heart. We're here to protect our trainers and human companions. Our mission and purpose is equal. I don't seek to fight you. As you wouldn't seek to fight me. We share the same thoughts as we have trainers that we would defend with our lives. don't let your sense of unease cloud that. Being a trusted companion and protector to those who train us is everything to us pokemon. It's everything to us.
Laura listened and could only gasp in shock...
Michael had been absentmindedly stroking Absol’s fur gently. He just looked at Nicki who was goofing off with his Pikachu while Luke was trying to tease them.
Absol nodded to Lucario back with a murmur of thankfulness.
I do not seek to fight you like you said Lucario. Before my Michael found me, I was trapped under a rock. He saved me even though I bit him and growled at him. He is my everything to me. My trainer, my companion.
“What?” Michael asked when his cat ears perked up at the surprised noise emitted from Laura. “Do you hear someone? Something?”
“Calm down Michael. You’re barraging her with questions geez!” Luke scolded with a smile.
Laura couldn't help but giggle... She was surprised to hear her Lucario speak like he did... But she giggled at the sudden barrage of questions. She thought that it was funny.
But she nodded. She was happy.
With the way that the rest of the night progressed... There was little to no trouble or issues popping up from the wayside. Nothing. They all ate... A very swell meal which Laura watched Michael make. It was a real swell dream.
By time the next morning came...
Laura: *Waking up and looking around* The town looks rather peaceful...
Lucario: *Working out a little* It's a beautiful morning. But never a bad time to get some exercises in. It always perks up the muscles and the blood.
Sunkist: *Waking up and stretching* Wow... What a night. First night in awhile since the last time we had a peaceful rest. God... That was good. Really relaxing.
What were they to do for the day... who knew as it was only about to start...
Michael used to work at a ramen restaurant where the top chef took a liking to his quick, sharp tongue and sarcastic nature. They taught him everything he knew, until the place got robbed and the owner was soon killed in the process. Another tragedy to add to Michael’s list of depressing situations. Whenever Michael got stressed, he would cook. Or sing. Mostly cook though. So it actually helped him as he began cooking for everyone.
When they woke up, Nicki was still asleep. Michael was awake as always, since he had chronic insomnia. He was just sitting on a roof, fiddling with what looked to be a violin.
Luke stirred a little at the voices, and at the sound of a haunting tune yet beautiful notes floated through the air. It was sad, melancholic, yet somehow hopeful. Nicki too awoke and smiled as he listened to the music. It brought back good memories.
“Nothing like Michael’s violin playing to wake ya up,” Nicki declared, standing up and grabbing his glasses.
Laura looked at the scenery and suddenly out of having that need for listening to the radio...
Laura: *Turning on the Radio and listening in* ...
Radio: *Broadcasting* HELLOOOOOOO! METROPOLIS and the REST OF THE HEARTLAND OF THE U.S.A! This is your favorite Watchdog of the land and the city of Metropolis... Lord Arnold.

Laura: Wow... What a tune. What a tune. But how come i don't know who they are? Why don't i know them? They sound like a bit... Like The Rising Star.
Sunkist: Cousin Macie's Kids... You sure that's them?
Kiwi: That don't sound... like them... her kids. Does it? *A little confused*
Laura: That is them... They're in Buckner. At least... they should be. We should find out for ourselves... Shouldn't we?
Lucario: *Nods* I believe that it'd be best if we did go check and see. We should see what's up.
Kiwi: Maybe we ought to.
Isabel: Is that the only thing we're gonna do today?
Laura: No. there are other things we can also so. Perhaps have a friendly battle. Or we can explore around town... Get a feel of the area. Besides come after the concert... We're gonna be heading to Wellington, Missouri. From there... after a maybe two day stay in that town... City. It's off to Lexington... From there... Who really knows where it'll take us?
Sunkist: At least there's that. Right?
Kiwi: Yeah. *Feeling a little hungry*...
Michael had hopped down from atop the building, putting his instrument away and slinging it across his back expertly, petting his Absol affectionately. He just wanted to sleep more honestly, despite the fact that he in general hated sleeping. Nicki sat down next to him, kissing his lips once before Michael poked him in the stomach with a mischievous smile.
“Control yourself.”
“The- I- you-“ He spluttered, trying to explain why he was TRYING to just cheer his boyfriend up, but instead got accused of something else entirely different and inappropriate.
“I’m joking,” michael deadpanned at his boyfriend.
While the two other males bickered lovingly with each other, Luke was listening to the music and humming along a little bit. Valiant was drumming his fingers against his leg to the rhythm steadily, bobbing his head like always whenever he listened to music.
When it was over and the girls began talking, the other four of them sat there confused. What were they talking about? Everything was extremely... unfocused and disorienting. Just new in general and even though Michael wouldn’t admit it, it half made him panic.
“What are you guys talking about? I mean, we know what you’re saying.... but we’re still a little out of the loop here. Mind filling us in?” Michael asked loudly.
“Michael!” Nicki scolded, elbowing him.
“What? I just wanted to know!”
Laura: You guys are not out of the loop on anything. We were just trying to figure out what we'll be doing today. One thing is for certain... We're gonna see if we can find those celebs. We know that they're in Buckner... but the question is... where in Buckner are they?
Sunkist: That's true.
The girls were with a good point. It was one thing that they all had to stop and think. Where in Buckner... were the celebs?
“I wouldn’t think that Buckner is a big city,” Michael pointed out. “But maybe it’s bigger than it seems. If you guys would be quiet, maybe I could hear them.” He pointed to his cat ears as a silent explanation.
“Of course, we could just use our pokemon. They can help us out too, if we have any flying types,” Nicki suggested, making Michael nod in agreement.
Valiant, the flying type expert nodded and threw out a pokeball.
“Rowlet, help us out.”
The grass and flying type pokemon appeared, flapping its wings and chirped at Valiant who smiled up at his partner.

He's just being pretty protective as over the last few days... i had to come across at least 7 encounters with those Team Magma creeps. He doesn't want to take anything to chance. Precautionary measures... usually give a piece of mind.
Michael began to relax ever so slightly and he nodded begrudgingly. Nicki nodded as well in agreement as he knew that cooking would help Michael destress and calm down.
“Here, one moment,” Michael murmured, taking out his notebook. He began writing down fruits and vegetables with other essential items. Then he yanked off the paper.
“Here you go,” he said softly, handing it to her.
Absol perked up at Lucario’s presence and Michael laid a hand on his back. The disaster Pokémon was tense now and Michael massages in between its shoulder blades.
“That’s understandable if you’ve attacked that many.”
Laura looked at the list and nodded. She then called over her Rapidash and went right on over to the store... Grabbing the stuff needed for the cooking. Collecting what was needed. If by anything... she was gone from the spot where they were for like about a half hour. But she in time came back and produced all the things that were on the list. All the ingredients. Fruits and Vegetables. Condiments. Spices and herbs that were gonna be in need for what was being cooked. She came also with a pack for Isabel. For the shopping that she did... she surely delivered...
Laura: Here you go. All the items... on the list from the top to the very bottom. *To Isabel* Isabel, Here's a pack of smokes. For you. But try not to go through it before we reach a bigger town or city. This town is scarce in resources. Not much to really look at. Friendly town... but there's not much to really see.
Isabel: Okay.
Sunkist: *Looking at the area* Is this really... all there is in this town?
Laura: Afraid so.
Lucario looked at Absol and nodded.
Lucario: *To Absol* Absol, Take heart. We're here to protect our trainers and human companions. Our mission and purpose is equal. I don't seek to fight you. As you wouldn't seek to fight me. We share the same thoughts as we have trainers that we would defend with our lives. don't let your sense of unease cloud that. Being a trusted companion and protector to those who train us is everything to us pokemon. It's everything to us.
Laura listened and could only gasp in shock...
Michael had been absentmindedly stroking Absol’s fur gently. He just looked at Nicki who was goofing off with his Pikachu while Luke was trying to tease them.
Absol nodded to Lucario back with a murmur of thankfulness.
I do not seek to fight you like you said Lucario. Before my Michael found me, I was trapped under a rock. He saved me even though I bit him and growled at him. He is my everything to me. My trainer, my companion.
“What?” Michael asked when his cat ears perked up at the surprised noise emitted from Laura. “Do you hear someone? Something?”
“Calm down Michael. You’re barraging her with questions geez!” Luke scolded with a smile.
Laura couldn't help but giggle... She was surprised to hear her Lucario speak like he did... But she giggled at the sudden barrage of questions. She thought that it was funny.
But she nodded. She was happy.
With the way that the rest of the night progressed... There was little to no trouble or issues popping up from the wayside. Nothing. They all ate... A very swell meal which Laura watched Michael make. It was a real swell dream.
By time the next morning came...
Laura: *Waking up and looking around* The town looks rather peaceful...
Lucario: *Working out a little* It's a beautiful morning. But never a bad time to get some exercises in. It always perks up the muscles and the blood.
Sunkist: *Waking up and stretching* Wow... What a night. First night in awhile since the last time we had a peaceful rest. God... That was good. Really relaxing.
What were they to do for the day... who knew as it was only about to start...
Michael used to work at a ramen restaurant where the top chef took a liking to his quick, sharp tongue and sarcastic nature. They taught him everything he knew, until the place got robbed and the owner was soon killed in the process. Another tragedy to add to Michael’s list of depressing situations. Whenever Michael got stressed, he would cook. Or sing. Mostly cook though. So it actually helped him as he began cooking for everyone.
When they woke up, Nicki was still asleep. Michael was awake as always, since he had chronic insomnia. He was just sitting on a roof, fiddling with what looked to be a violin.
Luke stirred a little at the voices, and at the sound of a haunting tune yet beautiful notes floated through the air. It was sad, melancholic, yet somehow hopeful. Nicki too awoke and smiled as he listened to the music. It brought back good memories.
“Nothing like Michael’s violin playing to wake ya up,” Nicki declared, standing up and grabbing his glasses.
Laura looked at the scenery and suddenly out of having that need for listening to the radio...
Laura: *Turning on the Radio and listening in* ...
Radio: *Broadcasting* HELLOOOOOOO! METROPOLIS and the REST OF THE HEARTLAND OF THE U.S.A! This is your favorite Watchdog of the land and the city of Metropolis... Lord Arnold.

Hey I heard somebody say work harder than you play
But I never missed a single day’s party
Word I never heard a word I turn the other way
Kansas Coast Party”
Laura: Wow... What a tune. What a tune. But how come i don't know who they are? Why don't i know them? They sound like a bit... Like The Rising Star.
Sunkist: Cousin Macie's Kids... You sure that's them?
Kiwi: That don't sound... like them... her kids. Does it? *A little confused*
Laura: That is them... They're in Buckner. At least... they should be. We should find out for ourselves... Shouldn't we?
Lucario: *Nods* I believe that it'd be best if we did go check and see. We should see what's up.
Kiwi: Maybe we ought to.
Isabel: Is that the only thing we're gonna do today?
Laura: No. there are other things we can also so. Perhaps have a friendly battle. Or we can explore around town... Get a feel of the area. Besides come after the concert... We're gonna be heading to Wellington, Missouri. From there... after a maybe two day stay in that town... City. It's off to Lexington... From there... Who really knows where it'll take us?
Sunkist: At least there's that. Right?
Kiwi: Yeah. *Feeling a little hungry*...
Michael had hopped down from atop the building, putting his instrument away and slinging it across his back expertly, petting his Absol affectionately. He just wanted to sleep more honestly, despite the fact that he in general hated sleeping. Nicki sat down next to him, kissing his lips once before Michael poked him in the stomach with a mischievous smile.
“Control yourself.”
“The- I- you-“ He spluttered, trying to explain why he was TRYING to just cheer his boyfriend up, but instead got accused of something else entirely different and inappropriate.
“I’m joking,” michael deadpanned at his boyfriend.
While the two other males bickered lovingly with each other, Luke was listening to the music and humming along a little bit. Valiant was drumming his fingers against his leg to the rhythm steadily, bobbing his head like always whenever he listened to music.
When it was over and the girls began talking, the other four of them sat there confused. What were they talking about? Everything was extremely... unfocused and disorienting. Just new in general and even though Michael wouldn’t admit it, it half made him panic.
“What are you guys talking about? I mean, we know what you’re saying.... but we’re still a little out of the loop here. Mind filling us in?” Michael asked loudly.
“Michael!” Nicki scolded, elbowing him.
“What? I just wanted to know!”
Laura: You guys are not out of the loop on anything. We were just trying to figure out what we'll be doing today. One thing is for certain... We're gonna see if we can find those celebs. We know that they're in Buckner... but the question is... where in Buckner are they?
Sunkist: That's true.
The girls were with a good point. It was one thing that they all had to stop and think. Where in Buckner... were the celebs?
“I wouldn’t think that Buckner is a big city,” Michael pointed out. “But maybe it’s bigger than it seems. If you guys would be quiet, maybe I could hear them.” He pointed to his cat ears as a silent explanation.
“Of course, we could just use our pokemon. They can help us out too, if we have any flying types,” Nicki suggested, making Michael nod in agreement.
Valiant, the flying type expert nodded and threw out a pokeball.
“Rowlet, help us out.”
The grass and flying type pokemon appeared, flapping its wings and chirped at Valiant who smiled up at his partner.
Laura had an idea and she knew that if there was any chance in getting a hold of the celebs... She knew that she would be in need of the guys that she was with. She looked at Lucario and saw that he was scanning the landscape. She noticed that he was doing alot of scanning. Not for sake of Paranoia... but for sake of staying vigilant and alert. It was for the common reason and there was no room for letting up the defense. It was not thee right time to let up..
Laura: *Thinking* Perhaps we should locate their city Hall. Perhaps they might know where the celebs are in the town. It would make sense... wouldn't it?
Sunkist: I agree with Laura. That would make a lot of sense if the celebs are to be in town... The town hall... is bound to know.
Kiwi: Wouldn't that seem logical to you guys?
Isabel: *Calling out her Heracross* Buzzy... I choose you...
"Heracross"
Isabel: Buzzy... Go into the air and see if you can locate the Town Hall. Look for it. Let us know what you find.
Heracross: *Nods* You got it. On it! *Flying out in search of the town hall*
Vladimir was always around Pokémon. His mom was a breeder, and that's how he got his first two Pokémon, Umbreon and Houndoom. He trained them enough to make them evolve. He caught the others along the way, and he beat one gym trainer with them. People tended to get freaked out by him, mostly because of his height and his Houndoom that was always out.
Vladimir watched his fellow trainers from the shadows. His Umbreon sat by his feet. "I'm shocked you aren't talking to them." Umbreon said, his ears flicking. Vladimir's Houndoom scoffed. "Mature, Umbreon. You know he's shy." She snapped. Vladimir looked at his Pokémon, blinking. Glaceon laughed and cleaned his paws. "Honestly, you guys fight too much." Eevee was perched on Vladimir's shoulder, Pikachu on the other. Vladimir nodded slowly, biting his lower lip.

Jeremy and his crew didn't happen to see the mysterious trainer till they were inside the restaurant and sitting by the window. Sandy took a look out through the window and saw the towering trainer...
Sandy: Passion, Darling... Who do you suppose that guy is over there... in the shadows?
Jeremy: Not sure. *Looking out the window* Whoa. That guy's a tall towering individual.
Doralee: *Also looking out the window* He looks rather shy lookin. But he's a growin' critter. He must come from very caring parents who know to feed him right. Strong lookin' too.
Lisa: You think that perhaps he's lonesome?
Nicole: We should go and talk to him.
Sandy: I'll go. Maybe he just needs someone to open up to..
Jeremy nods...
Jeremy: Sounds like a plan, Sandy. but be careful. Reemember... Team Magma is out there somewhere. Could be anywhere.
Sandy: You got it. I'll be careful. Krokorok's with me. It'll be okay.
Krokorok: I'll lead, Sandy. Just in case it's not safe.
Sandy nodded...
Within seconds...
Sandy made way over to where the new lookin' trainer was. It seemed to very harmless as though maybe the trainer was in search for a group to travel with... or just someone to speak to. Sandy was set to find out...
