Hikaru woke with a start and looked up at Ichigo. He shook his head. "Nuh-uh." he stated. "Rei-neechan and Akane-neechan find me when they're worried about me. If they're not here then nothing's wrong here. They also know when something is wrong!" he stated proudly.

---

Ichigo looked at him slightly amused and said "If you say so little guy but, can you at least sleep a little closer to the others so I can know your safe. You disappeared last night and since there are other human's are on this island I don't know if they are nice or not. I want to make sure you are safe and I trust the pokemon near those humans." She picked him up before he could answer and put him down near Takumi and whisper to Kyuzo and said "Keep an eye on this one, he's a wanderer." She looked back at the sleepy Shinx "You should go back to sleep Hikaru. I'm going to go collect some berries for breakfast soon, what kind do you like?" she asked.

---

Kyuzo watched as Hikaru yawned slightly. He shrugged. "Any...I just eat whatever I find." he said. He looked around and smiled sleepily at Kyuzo. "Hi!" he chirped. "Can I sleep on you?" he asked. Kyuzo let out a soft rumble that sounded like a chuckle and nodded. Hikaru grinned. "Thank you!" he said happily, before laying down and curling up into a ball on the Typhlosions stomach.

---

Ichigo saw the happy Shinx boy curl up on the Typhlosion and smiled. Isn't that one a cutie, no wonder Rei and Akane like him. Ichigo headed to look for berries once Hikaru was asleep. She went off looking for some berries for humans, the pokemon and the Hikaru. She found a few Mago berries which were her favorite. She picked up a bunch of Aspear Berry when she heard Rei and Akane talking to someone.... a human? Yes and it was a female one with a sableye. She didn't want to interfere since it seemed like there was 4 others there with the girl. [i]How many human's are coming if there are so many just nearby? I should stop back to check on Hikaru and drop off the berries. She dropped back and he was fine and she dropped off the berries. She made a few more berry trips a little closer to the haunted place and once she had enough berries, decided to take a nap until the rest wake up.

---

Kusa watched Ichigo before slowly walking up to her once she was asleep. She looked closely at the berries she gathered and grabbed a pecha berry. She looked at it before taking a bite, and smiled. "Ser!" she cried out softly in happiness. She continued over to Ichigo, munching on the berry, before curling up next to the gijinka and falling asleep.

---

Seya shrugged. "Guess we'll be off then. If you don't mind, I'd like to find some of my own kind. Explaining everything to you that your culture obviously tossed out a long time ago is rather annoying. Come on, Sable." With that, she started past the two girls, her Sableye close to her side. They weren't going to attack it seemed, so what was there to worry about? Now, there had to be some clue around here as to what actually happened with those scientist. Imagine, if she could return to society with the formula for making the ultimate beings! Or better yet, if she could returned fused with a legendary! Pokemon and human alike would have to bow to her! Her eyes sparkled with the thought, though her little smirk never changed. "Ciao, ladies~" she cooed.

That night, Di had returned silently to her cave to sleep. The deinos had already mostly been asleep, so she curled up with her head rested lightly on one. A few drifted over and laid with her peacefully until her disturbed dreams woke her up late in the night. Since then, she'd been sitting on look out, thinking about them. What was it like in those little cages? What if... What if one tried to take pokemon from the island? Like her deino family, or... What if they tried to catch one of the Gijinka?! She couldn't imagine being enslaved to one of those... Those monsters! But what if it was true? What if humans looked like Gijinka because Gijinka were part human? The thought disgusted her, to relate to one of them. But it was valid.

Her thoughts broke when the Eevee Gijinka woke up. She watched from the shadows of her high perch up the side of the volcano, seeing over the haunted place, the forest, and in the distance the ocean. Far away, bird pokemon were stirring, but down below all was unnaturally quiet. Once all was quiet again, she decided to get down closer. Maybe some of the pokemon were awake, and she could talk to them. Sliding down many little shirt cut paths as quietly as she could, she came around the haunted place to see the sprawled out group. It seemed most were sleeping, so she leaned against the wall and waited for more activity.

((... Where did Death disappear to? And aspen and I feel like there's someone else I'm spacing on...))

(Eh, I've just been stalking the thread, waiting for an opportunity. Old habit of mine, sorry. o3o)

Aramina cautiously climbed down from the tree. The hew-man seemed to have left. Thank goodness. She hasn't really liked the Sableye. Maybe because it was a Ghost type. Aramina didn't do well against ghosts. She looked up at Rosanna.

"Hey, I think the hew-man went away. We're probably good to come down now," she said. Her stomach growled. "Hey, I could go for a quick snack. I've eaten barely anything all day. Want to find some berries?"

---

Artemis, seeing the group slowly break up, decided to go inside to explore a bit more. He had been exploring earlier, but hasn't gotten far before the interruption. Since his dragons had trouble getting through some of the doorways, he returned them to their Pokeballs, and resumed exploring.

The building seemed to have once been full of equipment, with years gone by and no one running it, it had fallen into disrepair. He found a couple of computers in one room, but they didn't work. He hadn't expected them to, considering the lack of electricity. In one of the rooms he found a row of beds. Score! I could use for some rest after all this excitement. He crashed down on one of the beds. It wasn't very comfortable, but at least it was padded better than the ground. He closed his eyes, but stayed awake. He didn't want anyone sneaking up on him.

(Stupid iPod. >_>)

---

Ichigo woke up with Kusa next to her, vaguely remembering him coming over after he had some berries. She saw Artemis was gone from his spot but knew he would be in the haunted place again. She got up from her spot which woke Kusa and he walked in with her to find him. I hope all the ghost pokemon aren't out yet. She found him laying across a weird mat but, he wasn't asleep. "What are you doing on these...things?"

---

((It was Kusa, the Servine, Hikaru is sleeping on Kyuzo's stomach. lol))

Kusa followed Ichigo, watching as she talked to Artemis, before spotting another bed. "Ser!" he cried, and jumped up on one, before moving in a circle for a couple moments before laying down, curling into a ball. The bed was hard, but it wasn't that bad.

---

Artemis opened his eyes, taking in the Eevee girl from before. She looked confused as to why he was laying there.

"It's a bed. They're made for sleeping on. Believe me, it's better than sleeping on the hard floor," he said, tapping the floor with his shoe to help his point.

"Besides, I wouldn't want to sleep outside, since who knows what'll happen to me out there. That Deino girl...Di wasn't it? She'd probably try to strangle me in my sleep or something." His eyes drifted toward the ceiling. These gijinkas really were strange, not just because they were half Pokemon. They seemed to have forgotten everything about civilization, not counting their language. They still spoke English just fine. But they'd really forgotten the simplest of things over time.

---

Ichigo looked at the weird bed and sat on it next to Kusa and laughed on his comment on Di. "It may beat sleeping on the ground but the trees make a great place to sleep. Well at least you slept well. Anyways it's morning and I brought some breakfast for you and your pokemon. Takumi's still sleeping but this sleepy-head took an early bite," she said looing down and rubbed Kusa head as she rested a bit more. "You didn't have to worry about Di coming, your Hydreigon friend stayed up all night and made sure nothing hurt you. At least until you came in here," she said still petting the servine and was smiling "You really do have a connections with these pokemon."

---

Di watched the scene from the shadows of the haunted place, going unnoticed by all it seemed. She was actually quite surprised to watch the Eevee girl enter the structure. Then again, she was pretty sure she heard somewhere that ghost types had a hard time hitting normal types. But that human was in there too, the one with the dragons. Ichigo seemed to be growing to trust them more, even to like them! It concerned her a bit, not wanting to see anything bad come of a misplaced trust. But she was here to protect the pokemon, not stupid Gijinkas.

There was new movement, though. From the edge of the foest came a girl. Clearly, she was human. A Sableye trotted along beside her, smiling creepily. Luckily, the two didn't seem to notice her...

~~~

Seya looked around the scene. She recognized... Takumi, she believed. His pokemon were scattered around, sleeping as well. There was a Shinx Gijinka with one of them. Quietly, she picked her way to the building that had to be the old lab, Sable only one step behind her. Quietly, she began to snoop. She found some old, barely readable papers. No use to her. Computers scattered around, but none working. The energy had probably come from the heat of the volcano at one time. If she could get these working, she might be able to get the information she wanted. Continuing on, she heard voices coming from one room. Approaching, she leaned in the doorway. "Hm, so someone around here is awake," she grinned.

---

Ichigo heard movement and her ears perked up and she instantly got to her feet and turned to see the door. It's that other human. "Hello there, don't pretend your not there. So who are you exactly?" she asked and waited for the girl to enter the room. Kusa woke up and stood next to Ichigo and also wanted to see who it was. "Artemis do you know this human?"

---

After Aramina, Rosanna cautiously descended from each branch, before leaping down to the bottom of the tree. So the hew-man left? That's good. I didn't like that scary thing. she said to herself.

Rosanna turned to Aramina. "B-berries? Can we find the spicy ones? Those are my favorite." She smiled. Red, spicy berries. She had been so worried about the hew-man things that she had forgotten she was hungry before. And Aramina definitely looked hungry. Food was surely the best thing she had thought about all day!
"D...do you want to come with us?" she asked the other Gijinka that were there.




((I probably won't be online much, so Aramina has my permission to drag Rosanna somewhere if she wants. x3))

---

((GUYS CHECK THIS OUT! IT'S DI! THANKS SHAYMINLUVR! :DDD))

Seya stepped into the room. "I'm not trying to hide," she laughed lightly. "It'd be pointless against you Gijinka, I'm sure. The last two I met seemed to know I was coming well before I could see them. Oh, but how impolite of me. I'm Seya, and this is my partner, Sable." As she introduced them, the Sableye crawled onto her back, holding onto her backpack and one shoulder while peering over at the Gijinka and the human. "I believe me and Artemis met briefly, yes. I wouldn't really say that we know each other well, though. Do you have a name, Miss Eevee?"

She remembered seeing Artemis with a lot of strong dragon pokemon. This would be a very good opportunity to test her theory, but she didn't want the trainer to react badly. Once again, she'd have to wait. Too bad.

---

((Wow, It's really good ^-^. Can I try making a sprite for Di too?))

Ichigo relaxed a bit, Seya seemed nice enough. Ichigo smiled at her and said "Hi, I'm Ichigo nice to meet you and I'm guessing you already know about gijinka's. Do you know Takumi, the one outside and this one's friend?" she said and pointed at Kusa "Also, wanna join us for breakfast? I just picked some berries. I'm sure Di will join us, she's near by." She giggled a little knowing Di thought she didn't know.

---

((Would you? That would be awesome! :3))

Seya thought for a second. "Oh, that guy outside. Yeah, I know the face. And I suppose berries will do for breakfast. Not exactly just going to find a five star meal lying around here. Will that be okay for you?" She looked at the Sableye, petting it's head a bit. It gave one of it's creepy laughs. "Ah, that would be a yes. Don't mind her, she tends to laugh a lot. I've gotten use to interpreting them." Sable laughed again, climbing down and approaching the Eevee gijinka and Servine, sniffing them both. Then she jumped up on the bed where Artemis was and started sniffing him a bit more than the others. For no reason, she suddenly started to mess with his hair, rubbing it around. Seya gave a small snort of a laugh.

---

Ichigo watched sable sniff Artemis and began messing up his hair and she broke down laughing. "I like that one already," she said pointing at Sable "Anyway, the island berries are very good you might like them a lot." She said and started walking out of the mansion. "Also, Be careful around here it's full of ghost types, I don't worry since I'm a normal type but you guys should stay cautious." She stepped out and made sure the servine was coming out too. I'll take a go at the berry pile if they're not though. She picked up two Mago berries and 3 pecha berries and found a nice perch in a tree to lay in. "Hey Di, I know your around here so if you want you can grab some of the berries," Ichigo yelled out with a smile.

---

Stepping out of the shadows, Di looked at the pile of berries. Dang, the girl had done some good work. However, there looked like a lot of sweet berries. "Uh, thanks. I'm not too fond of sweet, though. Got any Rawst berries in there? Or Aguav sounds pretty good..." she muttered, approaching the pile. "Oo, or Ganlon... Ah, I need to find more of those~" she thought aloud as her stomach rumbled at the thought of the bitter and spicy berry. But no sweet berries. She hated sweet things. Hopefully that wouldn't offend Ichigo, though.

---

Ichigo watched Di step out and said "I sorted them, the spicy berries are more to the left, there aren't as many but there is a good bunch of them. I think I found a few Ganlon. Oh and I am sure you saw the other human, she seems nice but.... there is something off about her something she wants to do but, not tell. And I think she wants to catch some pokemon, she only has the Sableye and she was clutching he pokeball so hard it looked like she was going to break it. I need to keep an eye on that one."
