Recap of previous chapter: While getting through Nacrene City Gym, Cheren and Touya began to have disagreements, the latter intentionally irritating the former by attacking his ego and pride. In the end, they put their differences aside and defeat Lenora together.

The waves of the bay rolled gently, sunset rays breaking free of the evening fog to dust the watery surface, creating a rippling sea of fiery gems. The wind wisped about, its chilliness overpowered by the warmth of the setting sun.

When the teens visited Touko the next morning, they were hoping to at least find that their friend had awaken. What they did see was far from expected, but in reality, they should not have been as surprised at all.
"I feel so much better. Come on, can't I go yet?" a whining voice could be heard through the hospital door.
"No Miss Clearwater! You might feel fine now, but the poison still has made you incredibly weak! You must stay still or you will agitate your IV!" cried a woman's voice, no doubt to be the nurse.

Cheren counted four enemies: five if he included the old man. However, his plan only called for picking off the fit opponents first, and he knew there was no possible way to do so fairly.
The die was cast.
Silently, he signaled the hidden Purrloin in the trees. With a devious grin, the Pokemon leapt through the tree noisily, created a raucous disturbance in the silent leaves. Immediately, the five Team Plasma members clasped their mouths shut, staring stiffly at the trees around them. Purrloin leapt through the leaves again, creating another cacophony of sound. Cheren pressed himself against his tree, heart pound

The Poke ball snapped closed and began to shake. However, the fatigued Pokemon within stood no chance of escaping. The telltale click alerted the Trainer of a successful capture, and Cheren smiled smugly as a shower of stars exploded from the center of the capsule.
"I've finally bested one of these ridiculous Purrloins," he announced, clipping the Poke ball back onto his belt with satisfaction. He gingerly rubbed the Scratch wound he had received from the crazy Team Plasma member's Purrloin at the Dreamyard. Behind him, Touko chortled, "That's so lame Cheren, that a small purple cat always kicks your arse."

On the morning of the teenager's departure, Kenneth Foster woke up later than usual. In fact, he felt unusually groggy. Groaning, he shoved the covers off of his body and sluggishly got to his feet. Nothing seemed to really register in his mind, and the tall man lumbered from his room and downstairs to the kitchen.
His wife, Rena, was already awake and cooking breakfast. When her husband came into the room, she seemed to tense slightly. "Good morning Ken. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes!" She did not turn to him, as if completely preoccupied with the egg she was frying.

Upon his return, Ghetsis wasted no time in storming back into his castle, shoving the giant golden doors open with tremendous force. Seeing their master in a foul mood, the castle grunts immediately scurried like Ratatas towards the darker corners of the halls and out of sight for fear of being in the way of his wrath. They remained silent as the fuming man stomped by, his cloak swishing angrily as he walked.
He could not understand it. He thought he had eliminated the one person who stood in the way of his plans. "So why is it that that child looks exactly like that man?" Ghetsis growled under his breath. If the v

The piercing ring of an alarm clock broke Touko out of her sleep. She fidgeted under her warm covers, trying to untangle herself. She glanced at the clock, surprised to see that it was already 9:00. What a rare occurrence. Usually, she was such an early riser, someone who was up the moment the heavenly sun shined its first rays. How unusual it was that she had to be awaken by an alarm clock.
With a glance around her room, all the foul memories from the day before came crashing down on her.
After N had left, it took the four teens a while to compose themselves. Touko was the first to recover, snatching the pot

The twins warily left their room and walked down to the living room. At the foot of the stairs, they saw their mother, face blank, listening to Cheren speak.
"So ma'am...we are so sorry about the mess we made. We did not mean to cause trouble," Cheren said smoothly.
Belle sheepishly offered, "We can help clean up..."
The twins' mother, who did not look upset in the least, waved off Belle's words with a kind smile. "Oh no, it's quite alright. I'll just clean up for you guys. I could hear your Pokemon clear down here! That must have been quite the battle you guys were having. But look at your Pokemo

Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin King Jr. lived amidst segregation,
But never forsook the importance of education.
Adding a piece to the puzzle of his life,
By taking on his lovely wife.
Then children came one by one,
His journey of fatherhood had begun.
Equality he kept in his sights,
While he begun to work for civil rights.
His Christian religion had nothing to do with the color of his skin; he knew,
That god surely loved him.
He traveled and appeared where ever there was injustice, protests, and action,
Helping gave him great satisfaction.
He wrote 5 books and his articles were numerous,
They were always serious and never humoro

The gas mask tasted like plastic
Smelled like death
It was so dark
And I could see her face through the darkness
Even though the rough, horrid mess of plastic and metal covered her face
She smiled, and whispered to me
It will be fine.
And I did not cry
Because I believed her
We stared at the rubble
Hand in hand staring at what our life was
And what it is now
I felt tears welling in my eyes
The smell of loss and pain and fear and death filled my senses
She turned to me and smiled
And said it will be fine
And I did not cry
Because I believed her
We crouched under the rubble

Rise of Harmonia: Chapter 5Please read first: Ok, there's something I got to lay down right now. Much as I love Pokemon, it drives me nuts that the villains are not more evil. Like honestly, what kind of villain steps out of the way if they lose against a teenage girl, even though its clear that they far outnumber her? Seriously! Also, the fact that moves like Slash and Scratch don't actually cut Pokemon is ridiculous, and makes no sense. I'm actually trying to go for a more realistic approach for this fanfic. My writing still isn't great and fitted for realism, but I'm trying to get there. So my warning is, yeah, there will be some violence, and some blood.

Touko was about to speak when Cheren chuckled, letting go of her arm, albeit a bit sadly, and said, "Yes yes, but come on, the Professor is waiting." He gestured to a woman standing up ahead, a person they all recognized from yesterday.

After nine consecutive wins, Belle yelled out in victory, netting a tenth win in a row. Touko pouted next to her, always coming so close to beating her...only to lose to the jaws of defeat at the last moment. Touya was third, although it mattered little to him. Cheren had long given up any kind of hope of playing efficiently. He decided that he will stick to computers, calculators, and books, thank you very much.
Touya glanced at his watch and poked Touko's head. "Hey Touko, it's already 10:18," he said. Touko's head snapped to gape at him in shock, and she jumped to her feet, the game controller dropping from h

Flickering lanterns dazzling the skies
Drifting, drifting so high (yea yea yea )
I watch them dance in the night
See them light up the twilight
They remind me of stars in the sky,
Glimmering so high out of reach
It's so dazzling I feel like I could part the seas,
But the waves would come crashing down
And I fall back and hit the ground
I open my eyes and see them again
The lights sent down from heaven
As they flicker I feel their warmth,
They uplift and save my soul (ohhhh oh ooh oh)
I sit and watch in the dark
As they swirl around I feel a spark

A calm night settled on the sleeping region of Unova. The amusement park in Nimbasa had finally closed for the night, the museum curator at Nacrene was doing final check ups before locking up for the night, and even the bustling streets of Castelia were dying down to late night stragglers. However, far in the north, a castle's occupants were preparing themselves for a very important night. No one was more impatient and excited in anticipation than one man.

She felt rather old as she sat at her table, her long black hair neatly brushed, but down. She watched everyone with practically a straight face. There were children dressed as pokémon and adults dressed as Yu-Gi-Oh monsters. Everything was completely topsy turby up-side-down. She was bored out of her skull, she had assumed that there would be at least a couple of cute, or amazing cosplay's, but there was not a single one. They all looked forced, or sloppy.
