2. 2. ** **Half of the gang split up, the other (Shane, Monferno, and Gallade) was kidnapped by Team Galactic.
3. 3. ** **Lucas, Lucario, Flygon, and Lexi went down the Cycling Road and were able to get close to the entrance of Hearthome's path.

.............................

(Normal POV)

Monferno bit down on his berry, munching loudly and murmuring for everyone to hear. He gulped and smiled widely.

"Ah! SO good! It's been hours since I had something in my belly!"

"Monferno....do you HAVE to eat so loud?!" Gallade complained, scooting a little away from the Playful Pokémon (no joke, that's what it says he is). Monferno just stuck his tongue out at him, taking another bite from his berry and nearly demolishing it.

Lucas shook his head, chuckling: even though those two fought ever since Monferno joined, he missed them....and apparently Lexi did too: she was hugging the monkey tightly and HAS been for the entire time they came back.

"Okay then," Lucario started, Lucas laying his head on the Aura Pokémon's lap "tell us what happened Shane: how did you guys get here? I thought Veilstone was northeast from here, quite a ways from here."

"Well, Salamence flies fast...and luckily he's strong: carried all three of us on his back right here....passed out when we got this far; would've flown back to Eterna and got you so we could tackle the Cycling Road...but I see you got past it, even with only Lucario and Flygon."

"Yeah, he's tough!" Lexi said, patting Flygon's neck and earning a purr from him. Everyone chuckled, making the Dragon blush a bit and giggle.

"Anyway, tell us: how did you escape Team Galactic? Lucas said they're one tough bunch."

"Hell yeah they are....here, let me explain: it's a long story...." Shane said, leaning back a bit getting ready to tell his tale.

......(A couple of hours before, somewhere in Veilstone)......

Shane rammed into the door again, yelping in pain as he grunted it away and rammed it again. Gallade sighed and walked over to the struggling human.

"Shane, you're hurting yourself: that door must be electrically locked. Only an Electric type Pokémon would be able to do any damage."

"I know.......but I have to try!" Shane said, kicking the door and walking back over to the crates. Gallade, his paw glowing a bit, rubbed Shane's shoulder reassuringly and healing him since he hurt his shoulder in his attempt of escape. Monferno, oddly, was silent.

Gallade sensed this and looked over to him.

"Hey, are...you okay? You've been quiet for a while."

The Playful Pokémon remained silent, looking up and away from Gallade. After the healing was done, the Psychic-type went over to the Fire-type.

"Are you okay? Are you worried?" he asked, actually worried about the little guy. Instead of saying anything, Monferno jumped up some boxes and climbed up to an air vent. His claws began glowing as he used Fury Swipes to bust it open, then smiled.

"The reason why I haven't said anything was that I wanted to think of a way to get out of here! This vent! If I follow it, I might be able to get to the door and open it up!" Before anyone said anything he crawled through the tight squeeze and began his little adventure through the vent.

"You know, that was clever..." Gallade said, smiling and nodding. Shane nodded, agreeing: maybe he could find his stuff and his Pokémon.

..........

After about ten minutes there was some noise outside the door, Monferno smiling and holding both Shane's backpack and Pokèball belt. Shane's face lit up, smiling as he took both and putting them on.

"Dude, you're incredible: where'd you find these?" He asked.

"They were in the room next door...along with crates of Pokèballs." Monferno said, smiling.

"Hey, maybe we should cut the chit-chat any escape while we can: if they find out we're not here, they might sound an alarm or something." Gallade said everyone else nodding.

The three ran down the hall and turned, looking down and through open doors so they could figure a way out of the building.

They stopped, looking around and saw some grunts down the hall of a corridor. They freaked out and ran backwards to hide behind the corner. Shane peered out, seeing the four grunts talking. He could barely overhear what they were saying.

"So, did you hear about Master Cyrus's plan for the perfect world yet?" said one grunt, leaning casually against the wall.

"Yeah, I did: I can't believe it! I'm so happy to be part of this now!" said a new recruit, obviously green to the whole project.

"Cyrus? Who's that?" Gallade asked whispering so no one would hear them.

"I don't know...but if his "perfect world" plan involves stealing Pokémon, then we have to do something." Shane said, leaning away and rushing over to the over corner; he motioned the other two to come over quickly, and they did.

The group hurried along their way past a few doors and down some steps. All the time Shane kept thinking about what he should do when they get out....so he stopped.

"Shane, come on: we're almost out." Gallade urged, Shane nodding and running again: when they're in the clear, then that would be the time to think about what to do.

........................

The three ran down the hall and passed a corner, only to become face to face with three people: two girls and a guy...or, maybe three girls since the guy looked like a girl.

"Hello....it seems that you three escaped faster than we planned you would." Said one of the girls. She had the hair color of rust and in the shape of a helmet that was too big for her head, a tacky uniform that looked similar to a grunt outfit yet in dress-form.

"Master Cyrus seems to be interested in your friend.....Lucas was his name?" the other girl. Her hair was a deep purple and pulled back into a ponytail high in the air, her uniform more like a one-piece jumpsuit that seemed too tight for her.

"How do you know Lucas?!" Shane asked the three of them, wondering what they were talking about. The guy, the one in a spouted up blue hair that looked like Goku's Super Saiyin hair style from Dragon Ball Z Kai, chuckled, stepping forward.

"As the future ruling group of the new world, it is our duty to know those who can either help us or be in the way."

"And which would my friend be?" Shane asked again towards the guy. The girl with rust hair answered.

"We don't know: it all depends on him....would he join us...or be our enemy." Shane grunted, seeing as they were just like Cyrus: they wanted their "perfect world" too.

"Now then, are we going to talk..." said the purple haired girl, pulling a small Pokèball out of her pouch around her thigh and enlarging it "or are we going to fight?"

Gallade and Monferno jumped forward, getting into position before Shane had any time to think of his response.

"Shane, come on: we can take them!" Monferno said confidently keeping himself focused. Gallade nodded, agreeing to the monkey.

Shane chuckled: he understood why Lucas keeps them around, always raring to go in a battle.

"Alright, hope you don't mind me commanding you two for now." He said, remembering the moves Lucas used for the two and planning. He called over to the three.

"My name is Shane."

In order of who talked in the beginning they introduced themselves.

"My name is Mars." Said the rust-haired girl.

"I go by Jupiter." Said the purple-haired girl.

"And I am Saturn." Said the guy finally, stepping back, along with Jupiter, to let Mars step forward. She pulled out two Pokèballs and tossed them out: they unleashed a Golbat and a Purugly.

"Allow me to explain the rules: if I were to win, you stay here and stay our little captive; if you win, we will let you leave without any trouble. Do you agree?" she spoke formally, as if mocking Shane with her politeness.

"Yeah, fine. Whatever..." Shane said staring down his opponent.

'Okay, Mars seems older so she may have the upper hand in skill...but her Pokémon seem mediocre. I'll have to stay on my toes here if I want to win and get out of here.' He thought, the battle soon commencing with the first attack going to Mars.

"I will start: Golbat, use Air Cutter!" she commanded, looking confident as the huge bat Pokémon. It began shooting out little sickles at the two, both of Lucas's Pokémon grunting and getting ready for Shane's command.

"Dodge it!" Shane said, the two obeying. They jumped in sync, landing farther apart than they were before yet the same distance between Shane and the enemies.

"Now, Monferno: Flamethrower at Golbat!" he commanded. Monferno ran to get closer to the Golbat, jumping and unleashing a large breath of fire from his mouth.

"Purugly, use Shadow Ball on the flames!" Mars ordered again: the fat grey cat growled, a dark ball of shadowy energy forming in front of her mouth. Once it was about the size of a baseball the fat cat fired it at the flames, the fire vanishing inside and fueling the ball.

"Gallade, Psychic: stop it in its tracks!" Shane ordered, Gallade already ahead of him: he closed his eyes and raised his hand; the ball was outlined in blue....but when Gallade open his eyes, nothing happened: it kept moving.

"Quick, dodge it!" Shane cried. Gallade yelped and was barely able to move out of its way. Mars chuckled triumphantly, as if she knew she was going to win. Shane grunted, seeing defeat in sight: whoever this was, she was good.....and since he was already using Gallade and Monferno, he couldn't switch them out for his own Pokémon...besides, he didn't have their Pokèballs.

'Dammit....I'll lose at this rate....we'll be stuck here if I don't think of something fast......' the teen thought, his mind racing....then it dawned on him: besides Golbat, no one could see if it was dark in the room.

"Monferno, Flamethrower again: aim for the lights!" Shane ordered: everyone gasped as the monkey listened; he let loose a large wall of flames from his mouth; the lights started crackling from the heat, sparks starting to become visible.

After a few seconds, the lights shorted-out from overheat.

"No! Golbat, stop them with Air Cutter, now!" Mars ordered harshly, her voice sounding close to a shriek; the Pokémon followed orders and soon let loose more sickles; luckily the gang could see them and were able to dodge them.

"Now, run!" Shane yelled; no one said anything else as the three ran past the other three without any interference......not even the Golbat was quick enough to stop them from running out the lit door and away from the building.

.................................

They ran nonstop to the Pokémon Center located near the exit of the city. All of them were heaving and gasping for breath; Shane was hunched over himself, about ready to fall over, while Gallade braced himself against the wall and Monferno just plainly dropped onto the ground and lay on his back.

"I think.......we lost them..." Shane panted, standing up straight again "I didn't see them follow...."

"Me neither....." Gallade said, glancing out the door to see if anyone was coming: only regular passerby people.

Nurse Joy came over to them, seeing them burst through the door and collapse like that.

"Oh dear, are you three alright? You looked like you have been running for a while now."

"Y-yeah....we have......." Shane said, plopping into a nearby chair and exhaling deeply; Nurse Joy looked concerned, soon rushing off and getting three cups of water; each of them took the cup and drank from it.

"Now, what happened for you to rush yourself ragged like that?" she asked, sitting down next to Shane.

"We were captured by Team Galactic....and we ran from three people that call themselves Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn....."

(Present time)

"You saw the Three Generals?" Lucas asked, now a little more involved; he leaned up from Lucario's lap, thought the Pokémon kept his arms wrapped around Lucas like a blanket.....which Lucas didn't mind at all.

"Three Generals?" Shane asked, not sure what he was talking about.

"Yeah, those three people are Generals in Team Galactic: Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.....always in that order, from weakest to greatest. They aren't necessarily generals....but they're WAY stronger than the average grunt," Lucas explained, leaning up and shivering a bit "Saturn is the closest member to Cyrus, the leader...and dead strong....."

"Wow....I never knew they were that important," Shane said, leaning back.

"They are: they personally accomplish Cyrus's plans, so that would make them generals...so to speak."

"Hey, can we get back to the story?!" Lexi asked in an annoyed tone; Lucas sighed and smiled a bit, leaning back onto Lucario's lap.

"You can continue, sorry for interrupting."

"Its fine," Shane said "Anyway....."

(Back into the past, Veilstone PC)

Shane, Monferno, and Gallade -well, mostly Shane- explained to Nurse Joy what happened, who couldn't really believe what to think of the story. Her facial expression stayed on deep-in-thought and scared/surprised. After they were done, she stood up and looked at all three.

"Would it be possible if I were to tell Officer Jenny about this? It would be helpful in their investigation of Team Galactic's motives," she asked. All three nodded, and soon she was off to call her.......only to come back a few minutes after smiling.

"Alright, I just called her....I told her that Team Galactic captured a young trainer and his Pokémon....but managed to escape....she wants to come here to get the whole story....would you mind waiting here a little bit?"

"No, not at all.....also, do you think you could take care of these two?" Shane asked; the woman only nodded and led the two through the double doors to be treated.

........................

After a bit the two return and Officer Jenny shows up. She was wearing the usual get-up: officer shirt and skirt, black pumps, and a blue police officer hat on top of her light blue hair.....Shane _had _ to admit Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny looked a lot alike....even though they're not related.....

"Hello, Officer Jenny," said the other woman, offering her hand to Shane; he took it and shook it (OMG accidental rhyme!).

"Shane Jeftson." He said back.

"Nurse Joy told me you have information about Team Galactic? It would be a big help with our investigation: we KNOW they're up to something....yet we lack enough info to do anything about it...."

"We do: Team Galactic are, as you know, stealing Pokémon all over the region to help with their plan....well, there plan is to make the 'perfect world'. I don't know what that means....but their leader, Cyrus, must know since it was his idea.....I overheard some of his men talking about it......me and my friends here," Shane motioned to Gallade and Monferno "had to escape from them since we were captured by them.....we, kind of, found them on accident in Eterna City."

"I see....could you explain a bit more to me?" Jenny asked, sitting down and pulling out a little notepad and pen. Shane sat next to her, explaining everything that happened.

.........................

After ten minutes, Officer Jenny had the entire story.

"Alright, I'll go back and let everyone know. Thank you, Shane." She said.

"You're welcome. I hope you can do something about Team Galactic." Shane nodded and replied back.

The officer left and, soon after, the three did as well.

"Well, where do we go now? Do we just wait for Lucas and the others to come?" Monferno asked.

"Of course not, that'll take days...maybe weeks...no, we're going to them." Shane said, pulling out one of his Pokéballs and tossing it out casually. Salamence soon popped out, roaring in pleasure as he stretched his body out from being inside the cramped ball.

"Agh, sweet Arceus that feels good....." he moaned a bit, turning his neck so it wasn't stiff anymore.

"Sorry bubby, we need a ride back to Eterna City...all three of us on you." Shane explained. Salamence looked at him, a little shocked.

"All THREE of you?! Are you serious?! I don't think I can carry all of you!" He exclaimed.

"Come on, please: we need you....we need to get back to the rest of the gang..."Shane pleaded; he walked over and wrapped his arms around the dragon's neck, rubbing and petting it gently....earning him murmurs from the Pokémon: Salamence always loves it when you pet him by his neck.

"Well....alright, I'll try," he said reluctantly; he spread out his wings, letting everyone file on "Okay then, to Eterna City!" He started flapping, a bit of a struggle to get into the air....but soon they we heading towards the city.

.....................

"Come on, Salamence....just a little further: we're almost to the Cycling Road!" Shane cheered on: the Dragon-type was losing altitude, feeling tired from carrying the three for so long.

"Can't.....keep.....flying.......so.....tired.......have to.......land......." Salamence muttered, slowly descending and plopping to the ground; everyone got off as soon as they hit ground, not wanting to stay on the dragon. Shane gently pet Salamence, smiling.

"You did your best, thanks buddy," He pulled out his Pokeball "You rest in here for a bit."

Grateful, the dragon nodded and smiled and pushed the button on the Pokeball himself; he was soon outlined in red, turning red himself, and zigzagged into the ball.

Shane put the ball away and looked towards the other two Pokémon.

"Well, we're getting closer: hope Lucas isn't too worried about us." Monferno said sounding a little worried himself.

.............................

(Present time)

"And that's how we found you guys." Shane finished.

"Wow.......I can't believe you went through that," Lucas said, yawning slightly "In a way, I'm jealous of you......I HATE Jupiter......I would've LOVE to put her in her place."

Lucario looked over to see Lucas bunch his hands into tight fists. He put a reassuring paw on his shoulder, pulling into a hug. Lucas sighed a bit and hugged back.

"Sorry......she just bothers me a lot." Lucas apologized.

"I feel the same way for Mars: that red-headed little witch......" Lexi muttered, shaking her head "when I see her, she'll get a real butt-whooping."

Lucas felt proud for Lexi: her first day in the world of Pokémon and she's taking it so well......his first day he spent out-cold in a Pokémon Center.

Shane stood up, smiling a little......though, from what Lucas could see, it was a somber smile.

"Well, I think it's time for me to leave."

"What?" Lucario was a little sad: he liked Shane, quite a bit.

"I've overstayed my welcome; I think it's time for me to get back to my own pace." Shane explained, sighing a little: truth-be-told, he wanted to keep traveling with Lucas and his gang...but, after he was caught by the Team Galactic, he sees that he worried Lucas and the others...and he doesn't want that to happen again.

"No, you haven't: c'mon, Shane......you're part of our family too...." Lucas said a little disappointed Shane is leaving.

"I know....thank you for including me in your family......but I need to go my own way too." Shane smiled and walked over to Lucas. He offered his hand "You're a good friend Lucas and I wish you luck."

Lucas smiled, standing up and shaking Shane's hand....but then pulled him in and hugged him tight.

"I'm gonna miss you......you're like a big brother." Lucas muttered, breaking the hug.

"Hey, we'll see each other: we'll call each other whenever we want...okay?" Shane said, smiling his cocky smile.

"Yeah, you're right." Lucas smiled too.

..........................

Everyone said their goodbyes to everyone else and soon Shane and his gang started their way to the cycling road: they said they'd go back to Eterna and rest a bit since they immediately flew to Eterna from Veilstone.

Lucas waved them good-bye as the vanished into the dark.

Lucario yawned next to the human, letting him know everyone was tired.

"Okay guys, I think it's time for us to get some rest....we ALL had a long day." Everyone agreed with the human.

Either out of exhaustion or they felt they didn't need them, the group didn't get out the tents tonight: the stars were bright and the moon was full...a gentle breeze blowing. It was a beautiful night: a perfect temperature.

On their mat, Lucas and Lucario snuggled up to one another: Lucas cradled in Lucario's arms and, basically, pushed into his grasp from behind. His head was right below Lucario's chin, giving him full access to his warm fur on his chest.

"G'night, Lucario." Lucas muttered before he let out one last yawn and began drifting to sleep.

"Good night, Lucas." Lucario answered, nuzzling into Lucas and keeping him close.

Everyone else said their good nights and soon all was silent........save for a dragon-type and a little girl.

Lexi was having a hard time trying to fall asleep, turning over and over. She grunted, a little upset.

"How can Lucas sleep out here?" she whispered to herself, unaware Flygon was still awake and near her; he raised his head and looked at the girl.

"You okay, Lexi?" he asked gently not wanting to disturb everyone else. Lexi looked over, a little more upset.

"Oh, Flygon...I'm sorry, did I wake you?" she asked. The dragon shook his head and smiled.

"I was already awake......" he said, getting up and walking over to her; he laid himself back down next to the little girl "can't sleep?"

"No..." she sighed "it's my first time here....and I already miss my family: Mom, Dad, our dog...."

Flygon could tell Lexi was homesick...he even guessed Lucas felt it at one point in time during his time here....but he had Lucario to keep his mind busy so he wouldn't feel all that bad anymore.

Lexi, though, was new here......and it'll take her some time for her to get used to things around here.

'I......I should help her........but how?' Thought Flygon, sighing to himself: he couldn't help her, that was the thing.......unless....

"Lexi......I want to ask you something......." Flygon spoke softly again, this time out of nervous-ness.

"Sure...what is it?" she asked.

"W-well.......what would you think if.....if I....." Flygon stuttered, almost unable to get the words out. Lexi was about to ask if something was wrong until Flygon just forced it out "if I was your Pokémon?"

At first, the little girl didn't understand: Flygon WAS her Pokémon, even though he was still Lucas's "Flygon, you ARE......I'm just "borrowing" you from Lucas."

"No-no. Not like that...." Flygon shook his head "I mean, if I was your Pokémon.....not Lucas's anymore, but your first Pokémon. What would you think?"

Lexi went silent for a moment to ponder on what he said: Flygon wanted to be her Pokémon.......and only hers........but, why?

"I can tell you miss your home," Flygon started during Lexi's thinking "And I know that, as much as I want to, I can't help you with your homesickness......but, what I CAN do is help you with battling and being a trainer-no, a coordinator- and being just as good as Lucas."

"Flygon....." Lexi said, shaking her head and smiled; she wrapped her arms around Flygon's neck, hugging him "I'd....I'd be honored if you were my first Pokémon."

Flygon smiled and nuzzled to the little girl, now proud to be able to say that: in truth, Flygon has taken a deep liking to the little girl......but not as a crush, like Lucas; as a friend....a very close friend.

.......................................

There we go! Whew! That was a doozy of a chapter! I know, it probably wasn't as long as some other chapters I wrote....but just the wording and getting all the events to tie together.

If you haven't noticed, but I'm trying to follow the storyline of Pokémon Platinum (DS) a bit so I can get my bearings on where I want to take this.

So then, with Shane gone, what will happen next? Will I ever tell you what happens in the next chapter?

Spoiler alert: NO WAY! I don't spoil things for people. You'll just have to wait.
