((Sorry for the long time no post guys, I'll catch up.))

And just like that, out of nowhere, some little girl comes running out into the path mumbling something about mushrooms.  What were we going to do?  It's not every day you see a bunch of random Pokemon and people traveling together, one of which was supposed to be extinct.  Cat took a chance and demorphed in front of her.  Then she told her that we were a bunch of people who could turn into Pokemon who were trying to overthrow the government.  Way to put it subtly, Cat.  Why do all my morphs have to have arms that aren't suited for smacking my forehead?

She then went on to give the girl, who was for some reason taking this all rather easily, each of our names.  As if things couldn't get any worse, Leo demorphed and started grilling her for answers like it was CSI: Jubilife.  After finally calming down, she introduced herself as Katya.  She said that she was lost, and that she lived in Viridian.  Cat offered to take her home, and the girl was overjoyed.  She said that we could just drop her off at the policed station, since HER DAD WORKED THERE!  Great.  Just great.  I demorphed so I could slap myself in the forehead.  The need was that great.  Cat then jokingly threatened Katya, who looked very scared, but fortunately, Seth, who seemed to be the only one with any common sense, went over and comforted her.

As we started off, Leo morphed into Bulbasaur and found us a way to Diglett's Cave. The tunnels supposedly led all over now, so we could find a route that took us right to Viridian.  Cat refused to go in as Charizard, but said that one of us Psychic types could control a ball of fire she produced.  She lit a make-shift torch on fire, then gave it to Katya to hold while she morphed into Garchomp.  Leo, who morphed into Pikachu, used some electric move to light up the tunnels a bit as well.  Seth then nominated me to do all the Psychic work, so I morphed into Beeheeyem.  Can I get a Psychic, I thought.  Immediately, balls of flame levitated out of the torch.  Katya gave a little "Ooh," of fascination.  <I've finished levitating the flaming spheres, comrades.  We may begin our trek throughout these subterranean passages now.>

((Edit: Sorry Pory, I meant to put your name. *slaps forehead* Why is it so much easier in real life? XD))

((Haha, CSI: Jubilife. That was pretty funny. Oh, and by the way, I don't know if it was an accident or not, but I was the who calmed Katya down, not Crunchy. Just sayin'. ))

I padded along at the rear of the group, the Garchomp mind almost purring in happiness at being back underground, in its comfort zone. The dragon's senses were sharp enough to detect any possible threat... but there was nothing.

<Does this place seem too quiet for you? I can't even detect Pokemon movements, Diglett and Dugtrio should make the ground vibrate but I don't feel -anything-.>

((Haha it's no problem tt, just wanted to point that out. But it is easier in real life, isn't it? You only need to remember one name per person. Most of the time. ))

After a minute or two of walking in the cave, I heard Cat's voice through our telepethy. I knew I couldn't reply telepathically unless I was morphed so I just talked out loud. "Well, Elemental probably came down here and tried to kill all the Diglett and Dugtrio or something. They probably left after getting attacked once." Then something vitally important crossed my mind. "Uh, guys? I know this cave can get us under the forest and all, but does anyone know where our stop is?"

((I realized we never comfirmed that we knew where we were going in the cave, lol.))

((I was actually talking about slapping my forehead...))

More or less knowing one of the routes, Leo the glowing Pikachu took the lead until Jeremy could find the way to the exit. The walls and floor of the cavern lined with old burrowing trails left behind by Diglett and their forefathers a long time ago. It made him sad they hadn't encountered any. Diglett were a pretty cool pokemon.

<Diglett dig, Diglett dig. Trio, trio, trio...> Leo hummed, walking cautiously.

When they encountered multiple tunnels in a room, Leo turned as if randomly picking one and leading them all in. If Seth's Noctowl abilities couldn't help them, then surely Jeremy would do the job anyway, so even if he did get them lost... Besides, Leo saw fit to do a little soul searching.

When a familiar rock passed them by, Leo gazed out. The Pikachu ran up before stopping at a hole that must have caved in quite awhile ago... Leo quickly sent down a thunderjolt from his cheeks, the lightning falling down and down into the deep abyss before it eventually died. It was a pretty long way down.

<At this point, be careful where you tread...> Leo said to the others, half turning before looking back at the hole. He could remember the sound of her footsteps, and exactly where she stood. How tall she was back then, and that her Pikachu was sitting on her shoulder at the time... <...Sarah.>

---

"Sister, why are we going through this cave anyway if their isn't any pokemon here?"

"...You can't feel them?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"...Don't worry about it. They shouldn't hurt us. They don't see us as much of a threat..." she said as her Pikachu jumped from her shoulder and took the lead, a glow humming around the pokemon.

"...You sure are weird, sis. So, why are we going out of our way to look down here anyway? Don't we have better things to do?"

"I want to know... I want to know the state of the world we are living in."

"State of the world? Why's that so important?"

"It's important, because..." Sarah turned to her little brother who was looking up at her carelessly.

It must have been a year ago. Although long, she had the same dark red hair as he did. Her eyes were this misty colour blue. At the time, Sarah wore the Ilex bandana instead of Leo. She had baggy black zipper pants and a white buttoned silk shirt. She was fairly gorgeous, although Leo hated giving compliments. She was always lost in thought. She was the one person Leo could never get or understand. But she was the person he admired most in this world.

"It's my mission. My life's goal. I want to see the pokemon world through our elder's eyes when he once travelled. I want to know what's happening, and then, find a way to restore it..." she replied.

"What kind of mission is that?"

"...It's my dream. It's important to me."

"Important...? You sure say some weird things."

"What could be more important...? There isn't anything more important to me in this world..."

"Hmph! That's not important at all! What's important is getting back at Elemental for what they did to us!"

Sarah looked at Leo sadly, turning away, "...Revenge, huh? Is revenge really so important?"

"Important?! Are you stupid?! They destroyed our home!"

She smiled faintly, "...So?"

Leo lashed out, "They took everything from us! Of course it is! We'll do the same to them! We'll kill them all and take all THEIR pokemon and see how they like THAT. We'll find a legendary like our elder spoke of and use it to burn down all THEIR homes and villages! Everybody hates them, right?! So nobody will care if they die!---" he went on and on...

Sarah grinded her teeth sharply, snarling.

"...We'll use pokemon just like them if we have to!"

Sarah's fist clenched. She turned around and smacked him right in the face. Leo fell back, hitting the cave floor behind him. Her eyes widened, startling even herself.

Leo leaned up, his cheek bright red... he looked at her, "Sarah...?"

Both of them couldn't believe it. At first, Sarah was about to apologise, but then, she found some other words...

"...Stop acting like a small child. You're smarter than that."

Leo grunted, lifting up, "Hey, I'm not a --- whoa!!" suddenly, the floor of the cave around Leo crumbled. It shook as he stumbled, losing his legging, "S-Sarah!!" he reached for her as he started to fall.

She gasped, immediately diving and reaching for his hand, "Leo!!"

~~~

Leo and Sarah, along with the Pikachu, finally exited Diglett's Cave safely. Route 11. After she saved him, the two had barely spoke to each other at all. They walked along a path, orange sky around them. It would've been night soon. Leo followed behind like usual. He was depressed. He felt bad. He was really acting like a childish pig back there. He really didn't want to admit it though... He had so many horrible feelings buried deep inside... but he had to talk to her. Leo stopped from behind them. Soon enough, Sarah and her Pikachu stopped as well. The Pikachu looked to each one of them with much concern, "Pika pi..."

"...Sarah, I'm sorry about before, all the horrible things I said..." Leo mumbled, his eyes to the pavement.

Sarah just simply stood there without a reply. She could tell... he didn't mean it at all. She sighed, turning half-heartedly, "Leo, I don't care about the village anymore."

Leo gasped, his eyes widening. He looked to Sarah, puzzled and bewildered, "I don't get it... W-What are the saying?!"

"I'm abandoning you, little brother. I no longer care nor need the past. Ilex Forest, mother and father, our elder... I just don't care for them anymore. I told you, I have my own goals, and you have your own... And for that reason," she pulled the bandana from her head, throwing it to the wind in Leo's direction, "I'm betraying you and the survivors."

Leo's heart almost stopped completely. This couldn't be real...

"Goodbye, Leo..." she said coldly.

Leo fell to his knees as his big sister walked off and out of his life forever. The Pikachu cried to Leo before looking back to Sarah and chasing after her. The companying wind blew her old bandana to Leo's hand. The green bandana had the characters of Ilex. It was their home. Sarah had left him, Sarah had betrayed him and everything they once loved... Leo took the bandana, squeezing it in his hand... "...Sarah."

---

Leo gazed down into the abyss sadly. Suddenly, he felt an eerie and dark presense all around him. He turned to the others. He could see they all sensed it, too. He gasped, demorphing.

"...You can't feel them?"

Leo grunted, taking out the Silph Scope from under his shirt. He looked through them, gasping again.

"Seth, use Foresight! We won't be able to see them all otherwise! Jeremy, find us a tunnel that leads us into Viridian City ((ie fall down the hole in front of us then probably a tunnel out, if you want help, your pokemorph found a path that goes to johto, so i only figured it could help us out here lol)), now! We won't survive in here much longer! They're about to attack!" he yelled, taking a breath as the fear took him, "Ghost pokemon! Thousands of Ghost Pokemon!! Watch out!!"

Leo morphed back into his Pikachu form, his cheeks crackling with electricity.

The Garchomp mind snarled as the sick-greasy feeling of ectoplasm suddenly became identified, the dragon aggression rising to the surface as I crouched, ready to do battle, seeing the hundreds and thousands of red eyes start to manifest in the shadows around us.

<If anyone has a Dark or Ghost type attack, use it now! Axel, you have advantage, cover them from that side, the Garchomp knows Crunch so I'll hold them off here!> I snapped my jaws, growling in challenge, watching the eyes move, hearing the almost-inaudible whispers. The Ghost-types knew the Garchomp was a formidable fighter, and none of them wanted to be the first to provoke the dragon's rage. But they were many, and I was only one-- if they decided to rush me all at once, I wouldn't want to place bets on how long I would last.

<Hurry!>

We were about to be attack by Ghost Pokemon. Thousands of Ghost Pokemon. When Leo said it, I stopped dead in my tracks, and my heart started beating three times as fast. I immediately went to my Morphs: Aggron? No. Way to heavy and tall. Plus, it doesn't have much of an effect on ghosts. Noctowl: No. Ghost Pokemon will destroy pure Psychic energy. Going was human was just as bad. Getting possessed wasn't exactly my idea of fun. I tried to whisper, in case these Pokemon could understand English or something, "Guys? Should I just run for it? My morphs really aren't helping me right now."

((So Rex, can I grab a Ghost Type while were being attacked to add to my morphs? Not anything crazy. I was actually thinking Haunter or Gengar. It's fine if I can't, I was just wondering.))

((Oh, joy.))

As we were walking through the winding tunnels, I had to give some respect to the Pokemon who dug them.  Diglett and Dugtrio sure are hard-working Pokemon.  It's weird, though.  Where are they now?  I dismissed the thought and kept concentrating on my fireballs.

At one point, Leo demorphed and put on the Silph Scope.  Leo gasped.  "Ghost pokemon! Thousands of Ghost Pokemon!! Watch out!!"  Ok, next morph I'm getting will have arms that reach its forehead.  This is getting really ridiculous.  I immediately employed my Psychic powers to find a route that would take us out of the cave and to Viridian.  After searching for an answer, it finally came to me.  ((You did say down the hole, correct?)) <Guys, you gotta trust me on this one.  If we want to get out of here alive, we have to go down this pit.  The exit is straightforward from there.>  I levitated down, bringing the three fireballs with me.  

I then realized that Katya, petrified by the sight of all the malicious Pokemon, was still up there.  <Katya?>  "Um, yes?  Wait, who's talking now?"  <It's me, Jeremy, the Beeheeyem down here.>  "Oh, now I see you."  <Katya, you need to listen.  This is very important.>  She nodded.  <I am going to levitate you down, very carefully, and once we're on the ground, we're going to run to the exit.  You got it?>  She nodded again. <Here it goes.>.  I had to concentrate ever synapse of my brain on her, since she weighed so much more than the fireballs, which were practically nothing.  

Once she was down, I turned to flee, but remembered that some of the others might not have anything that could come down by themselves.  <Hold up Katya.  Does anyone else need help?  I can levitate someone down if they need me to.>

Jeremy said the exit was down the pit and straight forward. He levitated Katya down, and even with the situation still in my mind, I took a second to be marveled by the Psychic power. It reminded me that sometime I should get around to practicing. Then he asked if anyone else needed a lift down. "I'm good" I said, "Haha, I got a little something up my sleeve." I noticed that there was a slope to get to the bottom of the pit earlier, though it was steep. I instantly thought a regular person couldn't slide down without getting hurt. Then I remembered: I wasn't a regular person. From flying as Noctowl, I remembered there was a trick to landing from a high fall. You have to keep your body completely strait, including your feet, crouch down slightly, and always have something to cut down your speed. I ran through the list in my head. Crap! Nothing to slow me down! I started to panic, because i knew the ghosts were about to attack. All of a sudden, I got really hot. Why am I getting... Dad's jacket! Yes!

"Okay," I said, "Here I come." I stepped up to the pit and put a foot on the slope. Next, I took Dad's jacket off and put it behind my back, holding by the sleeves. I braced myself, and put my other foot down, sending me forward. After about three feet of sliding, I jumped. My momentum from sliding and the kickoff of my feet sent me flying. I quickly made my feet parallel with the floor and straightened my body. I whipped up the jacket and braced for landing. I hit the ground, and the plan worked pretty much perfectly. When I landed, the shock made me drop the jacket, and I slid about to feet on my boots before landing on my shoulder. Getting up, I noticed my shoulder injury was probably something I could shake off. Other than that, the only other condition I had was dirtiness. I went and picked up my Dad's jacket and said, "Yeah... Not gonna be doing that again, sorry. Now hurry up, they're probably going to attack any second."

<Nice one, Jeremy! You're a real talent! I'll be down in a sec! Seth, are you alright?!>

Leo threatened the ghost types with the energy and electricity he had left, back to back with the Garchomp. The ghosts glowing red eyes zoomed back and forth from the dark shadows of the cave's insides. Being a lantern the whole time in the cave had almost completely exhausted his Pikachu morph. He yelled to make sure the others were okay. Leo was the one responsible for leading them all in there in the first place, <Damn it. I'm such an idiot...>

He smirked, <Cassie, Axel... Let's make a break for it... Cassie, if you use Earthquake we can probably take them all out at once... There's a risk we'll all get crushed... But we're three of the fastest pokemon here... We can make it...> if not take them all out, it would at least buy the party some time to escape. It wasn't the smartest idea. Heck, someone would probably think of a better one. Leo growled, using his last lightning attack, Thunderbolt. It shocked a few of them, turning visable and fainting to the cave floor, but others easily took their place.

A couple of Shadow Balls were hurled in their direction. Leo used Quick Attack to dodge from side to side, flipping up to strike one close with his tail. Although ineffective. Leo passed right through, landing on his feet on the ground. The unknown ghost chuckled. He darted around, snarling as his keen Pikachu button eyes pin pointed almost untold numbers of ghost pokemon, some not even identified clearly enough to be called by name. Clearly, the reason behind the disappearence of the Diglett and Dugtrio... The reason for the caves multipling... Escape tunnels...

((i'm thinking outside the box. i know ground type attacks wouldn't normally affect the majority of the ghosts thanks to their abilities, but it is a cave. you can just ignore leo anyway. he sort of has a death wish at this point and not clearly thinking lol. and if we leave the cave before that happens, when we use the silph scope again, you can always have a ghost pokemon follow you instead, poly. anyway, that depends on rex.))

I snarled defiance at the Ghosts, claws glowing blue as I slashed at the ectoplasm, biting and snapping at the Ghosts surrounding me, backing away towards the pit as I heard Leo's voice in my head. Darting forward, I pushed the Pikachu back with a foreclaw, a Shadow Ball bouncing off my finblade and making me growl at the uncomfortable chilling sensation.

<Go, tell me when you're out!>

Making another lunge, I added, <If I use Earthquake now you'll both get hit, get clear and then I'll use it. A few rocks never stopped me before.>

After Seth did a death-defying leap down the side of the pit, we all started running.  If any ghost Pokemon appeared in front of us, I would just throw them out of the way with a Psychic.  I could see the entrance, and the light was continually getting brighter.  

Right as we were about to leave the cave, a menacing Pokemon appeared in our path.  As it took a step in my direction, maintaing an eerie smile, I recognized the species of the Pokemon.  A Gengar, one of the strongest Ghost type Pokemon.  I tried a Psychic on it, but it had little effect.  It just shrugged the attack off.  The phantom then used a Shadow Claw on me, and I was thrown to the side, badly damaged.  <Can't keep... consciousness...> I thought. The Gengar walked up to Katya and prepared to finish her off next.  She screamed.  <No... I can't... let you... DO THAT!>. My pent-up fury was released in the form of a barage of Shadow Balls launched at the Gengar.  With each hit, it weakened, and collapsed to the floor of the cave.   Struggling to get up, I finally found the strength to do so.  <I'm fine.  Don't worry about me.  Let's go!  The exit is right there.>

((Here's that Gengar you wanted Pory.  Feel free to acquire him, then let's get the heck out of here!))

((ack, sorry guys. Pory: that's cool, just remember that to acquire it you have to be in human form. now to see if I can catch up...))

I responded to Cat's initial request and started throwing out Shadow Balls and Crunches left and right. Katya, Vincent, Steel, Jeremy, and Seth left, leaving Leo, Cat and I to fight off the sudden onslaught of ghosts.

They kept coming, waves and waves of them... For every one whose essence I ripped, three more rose out of the floor to take their place. What had brought the creatures here, I had no clue; but they were here, and they were threatening us.

Leo told Cat to bring the place down, and she replied that once we were clear, she could do it. I quickly retreated off to the side, demorphing as I went. Suddenly, I was susceptible to fear once again; the place reeked of it. My heart beated faster as my sudden terror caught up to me... I almost lost it at that moment. But I retained enough of my wit to morph back into Pidgeot. Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of pride and courage overcame me, and I knew that we would come out on top. I let out a cry, then blasted off towards Leo, grabbing him in my claws, and diving to follow the others...

((okay, that should do it :p ))

((Ok, let's grab this Gengar...))

Katya and I were running towards the exit, with Jeremy floating by our sides. We finally reached the exit, and were about 75 feet from safety, when a Gengar appeared out of the darkness. Jeremy hit it with a Psychic, but it had little effect. Gengar countered with Shadow Ball, which left Jeremy barely concious. The Gengar walked up to the defenseless Katya. In a sudden burst of strength, Jeremy let out shadow balls of his own, knocking the Gengar down. Jeremy yelled to run and leave him. Before anyone could make a reaction the Gengar stood up and went for Katya again. "No!" I yelled, and ran towards the Pokemon. I instantly remember the way to acquire more forms. Reaching the Gengar, I placed my hand on it's outline. The Gengar's feelings of anger transfered to me, and I slowly eliminated them, calming the Gengar down. It transferred the memories of it's life to me, and then disappeared into the darkness.

I remembered Jeremy on the floor. I tried to pick him up, but Beeheeyem weighed like 75 lbs. "Hope this isn't uncomfortable, but it's for the best." I said to Jeremy. I grabbed one of his tiny arms and started dragging him to the exit. "Katya, wait for me outside. I can't risk you getting attacked again when you can't defend yourself."

((Lol tt, didn't wanna drag you by your head cuz it might fall off. ))

((I certainly wouldn't want my cranium decapitated!  It is the wellspring of this fluent vocabulary!))

When I regained consciousness, I realized that Seth was struggling to pull me out of the cave.  <Uggh, man it hurts...>  Wait.  Didn't Bill say something about healing injuries while transforming?  Hmm, that might just work.  I concentrated on my old self, and felt my damaged body parts turn back to their original, human state.  Seth dropped me in surprise.  I was fully healed, but I was exhausted.  "Hey, thanks man,"  I said.  "I know I told you to go on without me, but you still came back to help.  If it wasn't for you, I might have been gone for good..." Not a very good thought.  "I sure hope that the others are okay.  They've been taking longer then they should have.  We better go wait outside the cave with Vincent, Steel, and Katya for now."

I heard the Pidgeot screech, and knew Axel was clear-- I couldn't smell Leo nearby, so I figured Axel must have gotten him out. Snarling, I backed up slowly, pausing on the edge of the hole to growl defiance at the Ghosts crowding the passage, before dropping to all fours and slamming one foreclaw into the ground to set off a powerful Earthquake attack. There was a rumble of collapsing earth, before I hastily dove into the hole and began to flee the scene, my claws acting as climbing spikes, using the rapidly leveling out ground to boost the Garchomp's speed, though the narrowing tunnels meant I had to stay on all fours to avoid concussing myself on the ceiling.

Jeez, but there's not much room here... I was trying to flap my wings as much as possible, but 6-foot long wings don't do very well with a cave that's only 10 feet by 10 feet... it felt cramped. I had Leo in my claws, as well, so I had to maintain a certain heighth above the ground, or risk dragging him.

Nonetheless, I managed to keep a pretty good speed going. Until I rounded a corner and ran into Jeremy and Seth. I quickly flared my wings, halting our acceleration. Gently setting down Leo, I then proceeded to land. <Whew. Cat's about to bring the place down with her earthquake or whatever. We need to get moving. Jeremy, teleport out if you can; take Seth with you.> I then proceeded to pick Leo up again, and flap even faster towards the exit.

About ten seconds and 1000 feet down the tunnel, I heard an ominous rumbling. I knew that it would take a little bit of time for it to reach us, and then some more for any noticeable effects; but those effects would also be magnified below ground. I strained even more to gain speed. Ahead, I saw an upward turn, and then some light spilling out of it. With a final push, I made it out, and shot out into the bright light.

((let's just say we're right outside the northern end of the city, in a really convenient area where no one can see us))

I was running as fast as I could with the narrowing tunnels, seeing a small shape ahead that had to be Axel's Pidgeot form-- the Garchomp was fast but the bird had a head start, and I let the Garchomp's predator instincts out for a moment to encourage my body to run faster, seemingly in pursuit of "prey".

As the tunnel collapsed behind me, I launched myself from the hole, clambering up over the edge with a bit of difficulty then laying down on the ground, panting slightly.

<Well that was intense.>

I had gained a few extra feet when I came out of the tunnel; utilizing this room, I circled and found a branch to put Leo down on. I then hopped a short way to another one, then began to demorph.

Cat had shot out behind us. I hadn't even realized that she was there, but apparently her Garchomp form was incredibly fast. Land shark is an understatement for that thing... She made a comment, causing me to laugh. "Hahaha! I guess you could definitely say that. But hey, at least we know that the Pokemon have been affected by Elemental as well..." It was actually a really useful fact, now that I thought about it. If we could somehow figure out how to commune with Pokemon, then we might be able to find allies in places like that cave. But that would be for a later time, I guess.

"Man, do you guys see the others around here..?" It was a small clearing, ringed by trees and mounds of dirt from the Digletts' excavations. Through some of the gaps between trees, I could see fences and buildings; we were right near the edge of Viridian, it seemed like.

I hopped down out of the tree, stretching my legs. Now, where did they get off to...?

((Pory/tt, feel free to just guide all of you guys over here))

<No, I'm not going anywhere! I'm fighting alongside you!> Leo cried, before being picked up by the Pidgeot claws, <Cassie! Nooooooo!!> he screamed, "Pika!! Piiiiiikaaaaaa!!"

Being set down, Leo crawled back up as he demorphed, looking around him and adjusting his eyes to the light. They were safe... But... Leo stared down angerily. He was completely useless. All he managed to do was get them all into trouble. And just like back at Bill's, he was saved from another battle... Leo growled, glaring at Axel when he wasn't looking. Damn him and Cassie...

He sighed, following behind.

We were all finally out of the cave. Axel and Leo flew ahead of us, and Cat shot by us in half a second using Garchomp's speed. It was Jeremy, Katya and I at the cave exit, and I said, "Axel, Leo, and Cat went that way," I pointed my finger in the direction they traveled, "Better follow them." We started walking, and after about 5 minutes we found the group, just in time for me to catch Leo a angry little Pikachu glare. I rolled my eyes and greeted everyone. "That could've gone a little better, don't you think? At least I got this..."

I concentrated on the Gengar that transfered me it's memories in the cave. Instantly, my entire being just felt like it disappeared, and I was weightless. I thought that I might sink through the ground, but nothing happened. [i]I guess you can control that. Cool.[i/] Then I shrank about a foot, and my arms and legs dramatically shortened as my body did. My hair sunk into my ghostly head, disappearing. And finally, my eyes got bigger and probably turned red, just like that Gengar's. I gave the entire group a huge smile (Which probably turned out looking demonic) and let out a "Gengarrr!" <This is so cool.> I could do almost anything. I walked through a tree and levitated above the group. Then I landed and morphed back. "Wow..." I said. "That. Is so. Cool!"

Leo turned to Seth, still in his grumpy mood. Gengar gave him the creeps, especially after that experience. Way too soon, Seth... He looked down. Everyone was getting stronger, except for him. He wouldn't be able to fight Elemental at all at this rate. He turned to Katya, thinking curiously...

"Guys," Leo spoke, "So what's the plan? Are we going to just dump Katya in an alley? Because if we need to, I could take her inside the police station... Nobody's seen my face, right? And we're about the same age. We could just pretend we're friends," Leo looked to Katya smugly, she looked back, sorta nervous and worried. Leo scared her.

I couldn't hold back a slight growl at the Gengar's appearance, before shaking my head and demorphing, feeling a bit tired from the fight but unwilling to show it. "It's an idea, Leo, or we can find an alley somewhat nearer to the police station first."

Leo nodded his head to Cassie, "You're right. And I guess we shouldn't morph in front of people, that would be a dead giveaway, huh..." he thought, thinking to himself, "Oh, and Cassie..." he looked to his feet, "I'm... I'm glad you're okay."
