Luna and Thief Ch: 8 ... Dreams

Mist.

The morning dew was near frozen by now leaving it everywhere. A shroud of white-grey it was there, by the road bellowing in the sky and covering all around her. Luna was the first to wake up cold, near frozen in truth. She looked left and she looked right - both of them, Moonlight and Thief, were still asleep in the early morning before she stirred and stretched. She stood and looked up hardly able to see the sun or the sky through the thick fog before she woke up Moonlight and Thief "What?" Thief was groggy and yawned and shivered in the morning. "It's freezing out here..." "You're one to talk..." Moonlight stretched and yawned too, before he shook his pelt off. Frost stuck to his fur. "I guess it got colder than I thought it would." "We should go to this... Magnet train?" Luna started to say while she helped Thief up "Yes if we're going to make it to Saffron in time to catch Griffin." Moonlight was standing, looking hard at the edge of the forest. "I just hope we can get there before something catches us." Thief turned his head "I... I don't think I heard that right..." Thief whined softly "Come on, Goldenrod is so close!" Moonlight was about to run before Luna cut him off "I think we should at least find some food first." Luna started and gave him a smile "All this running has probably made all of us hungry, we are going to need something in our stomachs if we're going to find Griffin in Saffron City." He sighed in reply "Alright. Sorry I've been so excited to get back that I've forgotten about that stuff." Moonlight laughed, they all did. "Come on, I bet there is a berry bush nearby." Thief, Luna, and Moonlight all started down the road. It was more of a jog then a walk but Luna knew that they couldn't help it.

I still can't believe these two sometimes... they can just hold onto Griffin. With those words she felt deep in her heart that it was what she wanted and for the whole walk they had, the signs saying that they were getting closer and closer, Luna found herself lost in her thoughts.

Griffin was awake by that morning he didn't eat much the night before because he was worried. It wasn't just about the Absol he now had (the poor thing was limping from time to time) Or the fact that Shadow and Bandit were back together again, all of it revolved around The Vulpix, Thief, and Moonlight. Questions would race through his head again and again, he had placed a *Lost Pokémon* request to the police (he almost begged them to help.) They said they would call if they found any information "Hey Griff." Brad waved to him, standing outside next to Aura. The Lucario waved herself and gave a smile that only faded away. Griffin's aura wasn't all too bright that morning. "You know what? Let's go get a pizza." "A pizza?" Griffin felt a smile coming on "Yeah. I mean you didn't really eat yesterday so I figure why not? I'll buy." "Well I have to look for-" "They are going to be fine, I've only been with you for like three days now? I've never seen somebody so attached to they're Pokémon before, if anything I bet that they would be trying they're very best to get back... wherever they are." "It might sound a bit crazy... but I think they might be in the Johto region." "Johto?" Brad gave him a stare "Why Johto? That's like a week away." "Walking..." "What did they fly there?" Brad chuckled, it was nervous. "I bet they are just a little bit ahead of us. Let's get some food, beat this gym, and get to Saffron City... I've lost Aura before you know...." "You have?" Griffin looked to Brad as if he was a new light "I have Griffin." He chuckled. "I got lost in a forest one day and slipped down a bad spot, Aura and I got separated. After a good few hours I found the main trail again and searched _everywhere_for her." "Really?" Griffin chuckled himself "Yeah, and believe me being alone in a forest with only wild Pokémon is terrifying, 'specially at night." Brad looked to the cement. "Once I finally accepted the fact that I couldn't find her there I went ahead and ran into a place called Pallet Town, about a day away from the ocean, turns out that a young lady was kind enough to let Aura stay for the night." "Really?" Griffin chuckled again, he believed every word "Yeah, I ran into a professor at the edge of town and asked him if he had seen Aura. He said that a Lucario passed by and ended up around his friend's house. Really kind women... Delia I think, she said something about her son being a trainer too." "So... You think they could be just up ahead waiting?" Griffin was smiling to himself, before Brad could say another word he was already up in spirits. "Let's do it!" "G- Griffin wait!" Brad knew that he was going straight to the gym first "What?" "Just get something to eat first or you won't be thinking straight for the battle." "Fine..." Griffin said and lagged alongside Brad. They walked for half-an-hour Griffin hardly knew what the time was to start. Cerulean City was fairly large and it only made Griffin imagine the size of Saffron "So where did you grow up?" Brad started the conversation, Aura simply lagged behind the two of them "Well." Griffin began. "I'm from Hoenn I lived in Lilycove city. Every summer I would stay with my grandparents in Littleroot with my older brother." "Really Hoenn? How is Hoenn?" "It's alright... So where are you from?" "Me? Well I was born in Sinnoh, Hearthome City. In fact that's where I met Aura, right by the mountain originally." "Wow is she your first Pokémon?" "No, I used to be a bug trainer... In fact I had a Caterpie as my first Pokémon. It was rare enough to find one there." "I've always wanted to train bug Pokémon myself!" Griffin said happily, by then they were already in the heart of the city. Brad pointed to the right "I've heard a few good things about this place." He smiled to Griffin who eyed the shop. "They're like a mix of things most of it is the western stuff "Alright cool, I'll bring my Pokémon out, I bet they're starving..." Griffin chuckled and took out five Pokeballs from his belt. "Absol, Bandit, Shadow, Pikachu and Marill." He whispered more to himself than he did to Brad, before they both walked in "I guess you're not cooking breakfast today?" Brad joked, giving Griffin a playful push "I have to save money somewhere!" Griffin chuckled back

All six of the Pokémon had to wait outside, a sign in the window stated *No Pokémon inside premise* "So do you lot usually get to wait for Pokefood?" Shadow chuckled "Not really." Pikachu replied "In fact Griffin likes to cook a lot." "Oh Griff cooks Pokefood?" "No no, he doesn't really believe in Pokefood." Marill perked up and gave Shadow a smile "Doesn't believe in Pokefood?" Shadow gave a confused look "He usually makes food for everyone, human food." Bandit chortled before she took her attention to the Absol. It was a girl that was certain. She was staring into the window like a sick puppy, waiting for Griffin who was busy chatting with a cashier "What's with her?" Shadow looked back himself "Let's say she's a new addition to the party..." "But I heard you and Griffin saved her." Pikachu started, Bandit narrowed her eyes down "And I heard your name was Scarf." Pikachu frowned bitterly "That's not my name!" He practically barked the words out "Right so stop believing everything you hear and maybe I might Scarf." The Pikachu growled but knew it was an argument he wouldn't win "I like that name..." The Absol whispered in the back, Pikachu bolted a foot she sat right behind him. "Scarf... It's something that keeps you warm." The Absol was lying down on the cement by that point, it was a sunny day in Cerulean City and that made the pavement comfortably warm. Griffin walked out a few minutes later, everyone had eyes on him "I got food" He smiled warmly "After we're going to take on the Cerulean gym and find Moonlight and Thief." Griffin's fist was clenched tightly against the bag of food, Bandit was certain that she was the only one to notice it. "I'm pretty sure we all can do it." He smiled warmly again but Bandit knew

that his smile was fake.

The last sign they saw said *8* on the front and by then it was already midday. Luna was panting hard trying her best to keep up with both of them, Moonlight and Thief had to stop from time to time to wait for her "I'm sorry... I'm just tired." She felt her face grow red and tears were starting to sting her eyes "That's alright we should probably take a break anyways." Moonlight turned back in the same confusion Luna did, Thief picked Luna up and offered her a piggy-back ride "I'll carry you." Thief smiled brightly, Luna could hardly tell if he was blushing at all because she found herself doing it. She was small enough to sit comfortably on his back, it was wide and strong but Luna stopped when she figured out that she started to idolize. Resting her head she watched the world roll by slowly; they walked Moonlight didn't joke when he said they should take a break. "Don't worry Luna, we'll be there soon." Thief smiled it made her face warm, she was happy as she closed her eyes to see her world again.

She remembered the ocean, and not the cliff or the rough waters either. It was a calm rolling sea, like a blanket resting across the waters that would drift off into the sunset. A warm wind would blow through as if to happily say "Hello" into her ears before it brushed by her and into the trees. A sway would come before the tall oaks that stood behind her, reaching to the clouds and furling out to make a roof that covered the whole forest. Luna was sitting, she knew that for sure, and she was watching the water. Small water droplets from an overhung tree above her would ring the water as she watched it the rings swim through in harmony, past waves and pine-needles in the water. There on the beach in silence, she heard a sound. She looked up to see a shadow that bumped into her from a full sprint. She looked up to see his eyes. They were warm and happy, curious in seeing a new friend although they hardly met before. He opened his mouth, about to speak and say "hi" "Luna." The voice whispers, a voice that is gentle and quiet. She turned to see a light, silvery white, a Ninetails sat behind her watching with eyes that sparkled like the full moon, and when she looked up, that was what Luna saw. There by the beach was the moon; the entire day just disappeared from her thoughts. She found that she was sitting again, watching a fire in the moonlit night with him. His ears almost loomed over his eyes as he lay down by the flames and watched them make shapes in the night. Ahead was her, the Ninetails watched carefully out to the stars beyond the ocean, nearby an Arcanine sat and whispered things to her. Luna could tell that both of them were close friends just by the way they would chuckle and talk openly to one another, it made her smile. It was what Luna had missed That smile She would look to the Growlithe, he was large, larger than her and smiled too. They all did, all of them had a smile. All of them except Luna but she couldn't understand why; she would watch the fire and chuckle to his jokes but her smile never stayed, not like theirs did. Here, where everything she ever wanted was, disappeared. Her entire world would fade away; far away to a place where she never smiled again. It was a nightmare that taunted her. Luna hardly knew that she fell asleep in the beginning. Here she was crying, alone in the dark, every sound and every move would shake her to her core. She was scared and alone, locked in a cage and being taken away from it all forever.

"Luna!" The bark jolted her awake, she felt something hot. It was tears, she was crying in her sleep. Thief looked at her, his face read "Concerned" and his eyes... She couldn't tell what she read in them. "Are you okay?" She heard his voice softly cracked, he was scared for her "Yes... I'm okay" Luna found herself whimpering the words but couldn't tell why. She knew that it was only a nightmare but it felt real. Her eyes strayed to lights, hundreds of lights. "Is that!?" "Yes, we made it." Moonlight chuckled watching the sun set. Luna felt her eyes grow wide it was beautiful to look down at the city, she watched the bottom of the hill-top. There was a road , she watched a truck roll by and down into the city. "We just need to follow that road and I know we'll end up at the train." "What time does it departure?" Luna asked and stared hard at the lights. It was like a dome surrounding the city in the growing darkness "Every half hour, it uses magnetic propulsion to move back and forward between the cities. It also runs 24 hours a day not to mention it goes about 340 miles an hour..." He started to cut off "Moonlight?" "You know... if it is running of course." Thief looked to Moonlight with wide eyes "What are you talking about?" Thief swallowed hard "Last time I was here they were still making the rails... I heard they did just finish the rails not too long ago so I can only assume that they would be testing the train." "Wait you've been here Moonlight?" Thief tilted his head in confusion "Griffin isn't my first trainer Thief." Moonlight started. "But that's beside the point, the train would still be shut down to public use, but they would have to test the train by letting it run the full way." "So we sneak on a train to get to Saffron?" Luna started "First class ticket home." Moonlight replied with a smile. "Now come on, if we are lucky we can make it in time." Luna stopped him for a moment "How are you so confident that the train is being tested tonight?" "..." Moonlight kept pace. "Let's say I have a friend who lives here, now come on." Moonlight bolted off, down onto the street with Luna and Thief behind him.

He really doesn't give me a good answer..._Luna thought to herself. _A friend? That doesn't make any sense... Little did Luna know, it would all make sense sooner than she thought

Griffin spent some of the day upset, but shortly after lunch he ran down to a Pokémon school asking if he could borrow some books for the day. He picked up most of them about water-type Pokémon, he realized quickly that he really only had three Pokémon that would fight in the battle and even then he wasn't at all sure about sending the Absol out. Bandit and Shadow aren't going to do anything... He skimmed through one of the books. Obviously water conducts electricity so that's easy, my Pikachu can handle that. My Marill is a water-type so it would come down to whom is stronger and faster. An Absol is a dark type... Griffin flipped through another book. A dark type is weak to fighting and bug types. It looks like they fare well with other types of Pokémon though... He looked through the last book it was specifically about Absol's. It... Looks like they can learn almost every type of attack... Griffin read through a list. I can teach her how to use thunder and thunderbolt, like Pikachu can. She might already know how to... Griffin's mind bounced back to the first time he met the Absol. The people in black came to his mind again, he felt his fist clench before he put the books down and returned them to the teacher "Thank you." He said and waved goodbye. Outside the sun was starting to set, realizing the time Griffin bolted off, this time he had all of his Pokémon with him. He made it to the gym, just in time. The three were closing up for the night "Um, we're closing the gym, it's already sunset." "Can I please just have one chance at the gym" Griffin started "Please, I need to tonight." It wasn't much of a stand "Can I please just challenge the gym leader Misty!?" "Misty?" The three chuckled "She left like" Griffin's hand hit his face. "Let me guess... She left with a trainer named Ash right?" "Yeah actually... about" "She left a few months ago, I heard about it with Brock and his father in Pewter." Griffin put his hands on the back of his head. "Please can I challenge the gym, I meant to come earlier but I lost track of time." "Your friend Brad was late too." One of them said "Brad already finished the gym!?" "Yep" "... Can I pleaaaase challenge the gym!" "Alright, alright. No need to beg about it." It was the girl from before, she came up and started. "Since you came so late, we all might as well challenge you." "A - All of you?" She smiled, it seemed twisted enough. She grabbed Griffin by the hand and dragged "him to the arena. "H - Hey." He was brought to a pool with two platforms divided by a body of water that spanned about 80 feet in length "I'm Lily by the way" She pulled out two Pokéballs "My sister Misty used to help out with the gym before she left now it's just Daisy and Violet and me." "Oh well, I bet one day I'll cross paths Misty." "If you do can you at least tell her to call every now and then." "I'll be sure to" Griffin chuckled and pulled out his first Pokéball. Alright Pikachu, let's do this! "Go Poliwhirl!" The Pokémon flashed out "I don't remember hearing the Gym having those..." Griffin threw down his Pokéball his Pikachu came to action "Oh a Pikachu! I haven't seen one of those in a while! Not ever since Misty left." "I guess that trainer Ash has one?" Griffin chuckled to himself "Well... Yeah" Lily gave the classic 'No da' expression to Griffin. "Poliwhirl! Use Hydropump!" The Pokémon nodded and shot water fast and low, it hit Pikachu in the gut, almost knocking him into the water. By then it was gone. Griffin waited a moment "Pikachu stay away from the water! It went under!" Griffin called it perfectly, the moment he yelled, his Pikachu dodged back, missing the Poliwhirl by a tail. His Pikachu turned, unable to move midair when he was hit by the Poliwhirl's mud-bomb. He gathered mud from the bottom of the pool... It must be an aquarium or something similar. This is bad. Griffin looked to his Pikachu it was blinded by the mud. The Poliwhirl darted forward, a clean tackle, the Pikachu was fighting blind. Griffin bit his tongue hard "Pikachu jump left!" Griffin called it again his Pikachu suffered one less blow. "Jump forward! In the water!" He called his Pikachu did and jumped into water, getting the mud out of his eyes. The Poliwhirl was already gone again. "Pikachu! Climb out!" Before he had the chance the Poliwhirl was already out again, landing a beautiful tackle to his chest and left Pikachu breathless. Knocked out of the water and onto the platform, Pikachu dodged right, only to get tackled again. Pikachu... Griffin thought hard to himself. I know you're not the fastest but I know you can do it. A beam came out of his side, on the corner of the pool his Absol stood there "This is a gym battle, you can't tag team!" Lily yelled from across the pool "I'm not! She came out on her own!" Griffin went to pull out her Pokéball but decided to watch her it was what she was doing for him. Watching "Scarf!" Absol barked from across the way, she knew what she was doing from the start "I told you...." He panted out, the sparks flicked from his cheeks as the Poliwhirl went for another tackle "Dodge the next hit and use thunderbolt! Stay to the middle of the platform, he's trying to knock you back into the water!" Scarf took a defensive stance and waited, the Poliwhirl went straight for him and he dodged - barely before unleashing a current of lightning his way. It was a perfect strike, sending a massive flash through the stadium before Lily returned Poliwhirl "I thought I'd get you too..." She pulled out her second Pokéball and threw it down. A Dew-gong came from the Pokéball. Griffin pulled out one of his, returning his Pikachu "Well you pulled Pikachu back... What's your next Pokémon?" I can't use the Absol... Griffin was watching her for the time, she was still limping terribly She needs to rest her leg or she'll cause more damage to herself and that's not worth a badge to me. I can't use Shadow or Bandit either they're just taking up space

"Well?" Brad pulled out a Pokéball, his Marill, but before he had a chance a beam darted from his belt.

"Alright." Luna said and laid low beside Moonlight. Thief was put on watch and focused on everything behind them. "We got past those two workers, the one security guard, and the handful of other construction people... What do we do now" Luna looked at the sleek scrap of metal in front of them it didn't look like it was on "We wait for a minute... He'll be here real soon." Moonlights ear twitched to a sound, it was like a wheel rolling by "P - Professor Akiyama? What are you doing down here? Shouldn't you be back at the office?" It was a young man, another security guard in fact. The other man, around his early-forties was in a wheelchair "Well I got tired of waiting around there, I wanted to see the first run of the Magnet Train." "Couldn't you see that from the camera feed?" He proposed, standing in front of the wheelchair "One can only see what a camera shows them, but with one's own eyes you experience it. After all I did help fund the project. I wanted to see, in person, the first run. It is happening tonight correct?" "Yes sir." The man stood with his hands behind his back. "I'll leave you to it than Professor." "Very well." The guard was gone, disappeared around the corner and after a minute, the wheelchair spun around. "Not the best at hiding from me anymore Espeon." Moonlight walked out from the cranny, along with Luna and Thief - both of them hung far back "Is that..." Luna started "I'd like you to meet Professor Ayumu Akiyama. My first owner, before you ask too many questions he knows my aura, we can almost... talk from time to time. It's easier the closer we are to one another." "I thought you said he was dead..." Luna whispered "What!?" Thief yelped in surprise "S - So he's a ghost!?" "He almost died... In fact he doesn't have both legs. They're fake." Ayumu brought his hand down to Luna "I used to have one like you... Same energy." Ayumu sighed and smiled "I wish I had that silly scarf today, the one he always liked to wear... because I'd give it to you." Moonlight gave him a glare before he looked to Luna and sat down. "So you're trainer is Griffin... If it is the one I think of... His brother Logan sent me quite the theory on a new line of Pokéball software and Pokédex models." Moonlight nodded 'yes' anxiously. "So that's what happened, that Copycat is still around... Well knowing the situation I will leave you to the train and" Moonlight responded telepathically 'And?' "And I will request a trainer tri-research certificate to Griffin." "A trainer tri-research certificate?" Luna and Thief both asked Moonlight "It... allows a trainer under a special or unique circumstance to have twelve Pokémon in his party rather than six, it's an exceptionally difficult grant to get a hold of. There are strict rules, like only six Pokémon are actually allowed in a battle or gym battle at a time. So he or she can alternate teams before battles but can't pull a Pokémon from the team they aren't using during a battle... Unless there is an emergency of course." "Wow... Twelve." Luna whispered to herself "Alright." Ayumu strapped a small bag to his Espeon. "It has the Pokémon usable potion sets. I just finished perfecting it. Remember Moonlight never use the black code." "Black code?" "That's unimportant and please" Moonlight turned to Luna. "Never ask about it again." "Now all of you get on the train." Ayumu wrote something down on paper, it was a Pokénav number. "Thank you for Griffin's number Moonlight." He gave a nod in reply and brought all three of them on the train "See I told you we'd make it home." Moonlight stared and yawned. The inside of the train was fully finished it looked as if they were almost able to open it for the public soon "Yep!" Thief growled happily and looked out the window. The train started to move past the city, the mountains were further ahead

"Everyone hold on... I wasn't lying when it said it'll go over 300 miles an hour."

The shadow unfurled, yellow eyes sharpened at the Dewgong. A smile came by, Griffin took a step back. Bandit came out "Well was this all?" She chuckled to herself it was something Griffin swore he could hear. "An ice-water type?" She chuckled again and took a stance "What are you going to do? Spray me in the eyes? Get my pelt wet?" The Dewgong padded at the surface of the water and watched Bandit show her fangs before she charged an attack "Dewgong icebeam!" Bandit laughed the straight shard of ice and frost darted at her. "The Vulpix and Growlithe aren't the only ones that play with fire." She stood head on, charged an attack that Griffin swore was Hyperbeam but realized She used incinerate... Griffin watched as the arena exploded into flames the blaze rested on the water and melted away the ice and frost that was ahead of her. That... was like something out of a movie... Griffin felt his eyes grow wide, the flash near blinded him before he could focus straight again. The Dewgong was hit straight on, regardless of it being in the water or not, the burn marks looked like shards across the Dewgongs body and from a second lost Bandit was already behind it. Her teeth reefed into the back of the Dewgong, she dragged it from the water and began to charge another attack. A second incinerate, the flames licked her muzzle deviously "Bandit STOP!" Griffin yelled across the gym. She looked to him almost bitterly before she shrugged and walked back. Lily stared at the Pokémon walk away before running to Dewgong's side. Griffin bolted over there too after he returned Bandit to her Pokéball. I should have called her back in the beginning! Griffin cursed himself and pulled out a strong potion and a burn remedy "Is she okay!?" Griffin kneeled beside the Dewgong it was unconscious "... Yes... I've never seen anything just burst into flames before..." "Here, use these." He applied the burn remedy first. "I bought these from the market today... I thought picking some stronger medicines would help me... I didn't even think she'd..." Griffin was mumbling on and on "Well you won, I'm sure Dewgong will be alright. I mean the attack was off anyways." "... What?" Griffin looked back to the Dewgong and tried to remember the path of the fire. The flash that blinded him, he could hardly see the path "You're Pokémon are really powerful, they also know how to show restraint all the same. I could see it in your Pokémon's eyes at the end. She was testing you." Lily smiled "It seems like she's scary on the outside and rather calm inside." "I've. Never noticed that." Griffin's voice cracked, he cursed himself and bit his lip hard "Well Griffin, I present you with a Cascade badge." "Wasn't... I supposed to fight all of you?" Lily laughed "I just wanted to see if you were up to the challenge! You took it and didn't hesitate at all about it!" I was dragged into the Gym... Griffin kept his mouth shut and accepted the badge and gave Lily a smile. He left the gym put his hands in his pockets and walked out on the sidewalk. When his Pokenav rang... "Hello?" Griffin answered casually, his Absol walked beside him; she didn't want to go back into the Pokéball "Yes is this Griffin by chance?" A voice started, it was aged Griffin knew that immediately. "Yes who am I speaking with?" He replied politely "My name is Ayumu, I just found your Pokémon" "I'm sorry?" Griffin was half understanding, almost starting to sound upset about the call "Your Vulpix, Growlithe and Espeon." "Where are they!?" Griffin exclaimed loudly "Well it's a long story, are you in Cerulean by chance?" Ayumu asked "Yes I am." "Well they are in Saffron City or at least fairly close by now." "What!?" Griffin exclaimed again "Did you just see them!?" "About an hour ago, I had to find your number and it wasn't easy." Ayumu said again. Griffin looked around - it was dark out, the sun was long gone "Oh my god... Thank you so much!" "Of course." "You're sure they are? In Saffron I mean." "Very, they were headed that way when I bumped into them. I bet they're going to be nearby the center. I remember my lost Pokémon doing that." Griffin didn't know whether or not to trust the phone call or not. It was then that a pair of footsteps came at him, and they were coming quick "Griffin!" It was Brad, he had his hands on his knees and he was panting. "Police... Info... Saffron." He chuckled, said 'Thank you' again and hung up the phone "I know someone just called me." "... Magnet Train... Security Camera..." "What?" Brad growled to himself and took a deep breath "YourPokemoncamedownfromGoldenrodCityusingtheMagnettraintogettoSaffronCity." "Wha - Brad breathe for a minute." Griffin said and started to walk to the Pokémon Center. Brad walked beside him and tried to relax for a bit; Griffin returned his Absol. Aura was next to Brad watching him and holding his hand carefully "Alright." He breathed in again. "The police told me they just got a call from a security officer from Goldenrod City saying that three Pokémon, A Vulpix, Growlithe, and Espeon got inside the Magnet Train on a trial run. They were caught on a camera inside the train." "What is the Magnet Train." Brad felt his hand hit his face a little too hard "A train that goes from Goldenrod City in Johto to Saffron City in Kanto." "Oh... I TOTALLY SAID THEY WERE THERE!" Griffin called out unaware of the people staring at him. Brad looked up "I don't know this guy." He chuckled before Aura gave him a good *Swat* "Well we need to get to Saffron now!" "Too dark, we can't just walk out anyways it would take us till morning to get there." A row of sirens came up behind Griffin he felt his heart jump a mile from his chest "Well if you ask for a ride." Officer Jenny was sitting in a small service car, three seats in the car. "It looks like you caused enough problems with your lost Pokémon, my superiors wanted it fixed. Also I want a happy ending to this story." Officer Jenny opened the door to the squad car. "Get in." Griffin bolted around the side and thanked Jenny. "No problem." She said. "You too Brad, get in." Brad was reluctant but followed along "I'm not the best with cars." "Hold on" She said and hit the sirens on the car squealed and hit eighty in no time. Griffin looked out the window to watch the trees roll by before he let words run through his head. The last few days have been just a little too crazy He smiled to himself I can't believe all of this is happening, I swear I'm living some Hollywood film..._Griffin laughed to himself and turned to Brad. He was pale "Brad?" "I'm not... good with cars." "Don't you throw up in my car!" Jenny barked firmly "I'm not... I'm just dying in it." He chuckled to himself and swallowed hard. Griffin found himself laughing along. _I guess it's going to be a happy ending after-all.
