Shota held the girl while a slight tear ran down his cheek.

"It's alright, I know how it feels to lose someone you love," Shota said softly, remebering how he lost his own parents.

Charlotte nodded, pinching her nose shut with her fingers. "Thanks," she said kindly, despite sounding like a duck. "I think I'm good from here. See you outside?" She smiled and blushed, snapping the fingers on her freehand.

A gust of wind lashed at her hair and clothing, but when she opened her eyes, she was standing outside. The doors were right in front of her, and she waited patiently for Ace to come out. The stench was still in the air, making her eyes water.

Ace made his way to the exit, getting stopped by a pair of guards.  He slashed them with his short yet sharp claws multiple times, stopping finally when they backed off.

Ace slid out of the door, halting next to Charlotte.  He panted nervously, shuddering with adrenaline.  Nobody seemed to give chase, so he calmed down a little bit.  He felt relieved that things went fairly smooth, and nobody had been hurt.  Except of course the guards, but they deserved it.

Charlotte smiled at him. "Thanks. Again." she said quietly. Her eyes glittered with gratitude as she wiped at the last traces of tears on her cheeks. "I don't think I could've gotten out without you."

She blushed, and glanced down at herself with a small frown on her face. "Why are they doing this?" she asked, looking up at him through her bangs. "I don't get it. What did we ever do to them?"

Josh slid out of the wall behind Ace, smirking icily. His eye glowed with amusement, and his purple hair stuck to his face with sweat. He danced around Ace, so he was visible, and grinned wildly like a child being caught doing something they weren't supposed to. Wind tugged at his sleeves gently.

"I..I don't know why-"  Ace cut off when he noticed a figure prancing around him. 

"Did you want something?"  He said to the figure, which he knew was a hybrid.  "Do you happen to know him?"  Ace asked Charlotte, his eyes still locked onto the hybrid.

((Ugh, I'm braindead D; But, here's something new~  Hybrids can evolve if they aren't in their fully evolved form yet~  Hope that makes things more interesting for everyone!~))

Shota handed Sheno a couple of flowers.

"Here, go and put them by your lost loved one and see if you feel any better," Shota said to her.

Josh grinned, "Not knowing people is more fun than knowing them. So, if I've met you before, I know you, which means I clearly don't know any of you." His eye shone. "If I know any of you though, I'll let you know as soon as I know you."

Charlotte was completely perplexed. "Um...What he said?" she guessed, biting down on her lip gently. She let out a little sigh. "Geez, you sure are confusing." She watched Josh curiously, noticing with slight surprize his feet didn't brush the ground. And the tips of his feet were nearly completely invisible. Was he...a ghost hybrid?

"Yeah, uhh, okay."  Ace paused.  He wasn't quite sure what Pokemon this hybrid had been fused with, but he was obviously a ghost type.

"What Pokemon did you get mixed with?"   He let his curious side show. 

((Still braindead D;))

((Aaahhh...

How can I fit back innnn? DX))

((kk :D ))

still crying she bent down and placed the flowers at the side of the lake. she looked at Shota , and the others. " if you leaving...." she murmered. " im comming with you!!!" and with that she dived into the water Ebenos chasing after her.

((Nnnn....

I stilll don't know how to fit back in. DX))
