"130,000 dollars. Final offer." The clerk said. He was sweating heavily and wanted to do the sale quickly. "Don't try to haggle.."
"Sol just get me all the money right now with everything else. No staling or backpedaling."
"EH..." The clerk had speech prepared and was a little off put at Gray's quick response. "You sure?"
"Yes, I need the money now and I am busy. I need to leave town in a few minutes." Gray typed away at his Pokegear. He didn't haggle because he didn't haggling. The value of everything added up was already fine. He also wanted to play the role of someone desperate for money and was in a rush. That way when questions would be asked about why the Pokémon he sold had high aura's he could be long gone. "If you don't get this done in 5 minutes, I am gonna go some where else."
"Ah right away sir." The clerk left hurriedly not even getting the boss for help. He came back in 3 minutes with the money and gear Gray asked for. "He you go sir as well a few extra's I think you would need. Please take this card and call if you anything else you need to get rid of."
"Thanks, if I am around I will." Gray put everything way in his bag that connected to his inventory, waved and walked out. A few walks through the alleyways he dipped into the sewer. Changing his clothes he put them away in his inventory. "Ah, that was fun." IN the corner he saw someone walking they looked injured. 'What the heck is this now?'
"Have to get to the others." The person said moving. Right as they were underneath Gray he covered there mouth and motion for them to shush. Wrapping his aura around both of them he floated to the ceiling and waited.
"He couldn't have gotten far! Find him!" A few voices could be heard. Below him a them a group dressed in dark red ran around. One stopped not to far away before they continued on their way. "I think I see him over there." Another voice yelled coming far away.
"Whew, that was close." Gray said as he floated back down. "Well you should be fine now."
"Ahh, thanks." The young man said finally able to breath a little better. He then looked at the fact Gray sat him back down in the water. "You could have put me down on the sides yah know."
"Right... So by brat!" Gray flew back up then teleported.
"Wait! Come back here!" Realizing he just yelled the boy smacked his own mouth. 'Stupid me.' Looking around and not seeing anyone arrive they moved into an adjacent tunnel. 'Time to get healed up before its to late.' Stabbing a needle in himself his body started to recover and his energy returned. 10 minutes later he could fight if he had to. 'Time to go. That brother of mine sure has stop answering my calls. Where is he?'
As if faith wanted to mess with him, his Pokegear went off with responses to his messages. "Bring, bring," the sound went through out the tunnels.
"That idiot went to a dungeon!?" Answering the messages one by one, he stopped when he felt someone was getting close.
"We found him!" One of the lagging pursuers said.
"s.h.i.+t!" Turning to run he decided enough was enough he needed to get out. 'Screw the property damage!' Jumping into the air he changed before anyone could see. "Pokesoul!" Flames appeared around feet like little fire wheels. It was a halfs.h.i.+t. Running on the air, he made it to one of the pipes and blasted up after sensing there was no life up above. "Overheat!" The fire burned a path straight up ignoring stone and dirt alike. As it travelled up the man followed along right behind by spinning. "Flame Wheel!"
"d.a.m.n it where is he?" A purser questioned when he arrived. Another one pointed up. "Why did you not pursue then?"
"With what flying Pokémon?" The others gave the same response.
"Arghh dammit! Tell the boss we lost the target and we lost the test subject." The p.i.s.sed off leader said.
"Right will get right on that. One of the grunts said stepping back. THe group then started to head away. They stopped when they saw lights.
"s.h.i.+t the police already?! How did they find us?" The leader questioned as he looked around. He then noticed they were a man short. "Where is the other guy?" The others looked around and saw nothing. "Dammit we have a rat!"
"Hands where we can see em." An officer said. "No sudden movements after that."
"c.r.a.p its the elite members of the Jenny clan." One of the grunts said. He knew better than to try anything. Another one not so much.
"Screw that. I am not going into lock up!" A grunt turned only getting one step before he was close lined by an Electabuzz.
"Bzzt," the electricity already in effect. "Splash," he fell back into the water and went limp.
"Jeez you didn't have to do it that hard." A officer said. The others went to work on arresting the other members and taking them away. The Leader of the group just stare angrily.
A flash of light revealed a man. The missing member of the group. He was undercover for the police. "Of course I did. He said quite a lot of things about the family." Looking at her he smirked. "Besides they are sc.u.m Ca.s.sie. Is that not the reason you joined the elite? To deal with the darker s.h.i.+t."
"Sigh the members in our family have so many issues. Yeah I did, but Brooks you need to lighten down a little. No reason for you to go the extra mile. It was hard enough letting you back on the force after you were outed as a Dark Trainer." Ca.s.sie said walking closer and giving him a side hug.
"Yeah yeah," Brooks returned the hug. "I only oined for you. I could have just moved away and started over." Receiving a message on his Pokegear he saw that he missed his appointment with is cousins. "c.r.a.p I missed the luncheon. They are gonna be so mad at me."
"Heh, and people the Jenny clan has issues. They haven't seen a p.i.s.sed member of the Surge clan." Shaking her head Ca.s.sie started to walk. "Go ahead and try to meet up with them. I will do the paperwork."
"Nope," Brooks said getting closer. "I sent a mail and that is gonna have to do. I will help with paperwork so lets go."
"You just don't want to deal with them." Ca.s.sie said hiding a smile.
"What no at all." Brooks said looking away. He then gave her a kiss on the cheek and took her pen in her top breast pocket. "Catch me if you can slow poke."
"Hey you!" Ca.s.sie said embarra.s.sed. She was already following along half s.h.i.+fting into her Pokesoul of a Growlithe. "That is not funny. Professor Birch gave me that pen!"
-Later that day that day at night-
The others caught up with Gray instead of waiting. He was camping and was already asleep. Sabrina, June, and Jacob had sat in one tent to the side. A bunch of the Pokémon decided to sleep in the open instead of waiting in their Pokeball's.
June made it very clear Jacob was to sleep in their tent considering his current state. Sabrina agreed as well much to Jacob saying nothing would happen. The two shared a look and disagreed. It turned into an uneventful night for all of them. But not for other people around the city. But that was for another time.
The next morning Gray was at a lake bathing. He woke up first. His Pokemon were out about and frolicking. Only unusual thing happen to be Clyde and Pyron. The two were out doing aerial combat in the distance. Gray didnt mind since Clyde needed to train once in awhile anyway.
Off to the side Empress floated with her power. Gray couldn't help looking at her. A strange pulse rang out. Dropping what he was doing he walked over and watched intently. The crescent on her head s.h.i.+ned then a pulse of Aura power blasted out. Covered in a glow, her form started to change. When it was done Gray couldn't help but stare
She was alot different than other Kadabra.
Instead of the big tail the others had, here's was long and wrapped around her waist. She was quite tall as well. Reaching up to Gray's height. Her fingers held a spoon in each hand that she twirled around. If Gray didn't know better she was practicing with a switchblade or b.u.t.terfly knife. The crescent looked fuller now and a darker shade. A blue line appeared again under it. The weird carapace type the pokemon usually had was there but looked more feminine in a way. Her face did not have the whiskers but she did have two markings of what looked like hair going down the back of her head.
"Ahh, much better." Empress moved about and then released a large amount of energy. Reigning it back in she looked at Gray and smiled. It dissapeared when she noticed she couldn't ride in his back anymore. "That will not do!"
"Huh, whatever are you talking about?" Gray asked in wonder. Empress glowed in aura energy before shrinking down to her height she was at as an Abra. "Woah. Are you ok like that?" Even though he asked he went over and started to check her over.
(Empress: Status Healthy)
"I am fine." wrapping her tail around Gray she pulled him close. "I am more than fine. This form allows me more control till I get use to my power releasing. So no bonus power from medium state for awhile." Empress grabbed Gray's cheek. As if she done it a dozen times before she caressed it softly. A few seconds later she dissapeared into Gray and started to sleep.
Sabrina watched everything happened and felt a strange sensation in her fingers. When Empress touched Gray, she felt a psychic echo of sorts. 'What is going on with us?' Thinking about didnt help. Looking up she noticed Gray was staring at her. His smile bright and happy.
"Wanna come for a swim?"
"You just want to see me with less clothes on."
"That is true.' Gray said walking into the water. His back to her. "Is that so wrong?"
"No. But you have seen me semi naked before. Think that would be enough."
"Not even close. Doesnt help you asked me to block that from my memory."
"Wait, you really did?!"
"Huh dont ask so surprise. It was a honest request." Gray floated on his back in the lake enjoying its waters.
"Splash" someone jumped into the water. It was not Sabrina as he could still see her on the bank. Sensing no danger he was not ready for what happened next.
"Doop," Gray was pulled under. As soon as it happened his psychic energy released creating a barrier around him. Looking at the person he was shocked before teleporting them both out onto the bank.
"Thump," the woman landed unceremoniously on the ground as Gray towered over her. In a split second two b.a.l.l.s of electricity tackled into him.
"Ouch, calm down Luxray. You two Manetric." Gray said as he tried to settle the two beast pokemon down. It didnt work.
"You could have dropped me more gently." Trish said rubbing her b.u.t.t. "Good seeing you again Gray."
"I would have, if didnt pull me under so hard. You ruined a good little float session." Rubbing his aura over the two Pokemon they settled down. "A small present for you two." Pa.s.sing a bit of aura over the two he watched as they both became dazed. Nuzzling him, both Pokemon went to sleep.
"Ehh, you made them stronger." Trish said looking closer. "Thanks." She beamed a smile.
"No problem. Have to help friends when I can." Gray looked up at her then towards her sister. Staring closer he noticed a slight limp. "Your leg.. let me see it."
"It is fine just pushed myself to much."
"Yeah...no." Gray pulled her over to him. "Stay still, you made your Pokemon worried."
"Hey let me go!"

"No!" His voice came out stern as he released his pressure to subdue her. "You have been lying to your sister and the others. But dont lie to me brat." Running his aura over the leg he felt the different breaks that were happening.
(Aura Trainer: Aura leg, severely damaged, slight traces of corruption)
"Gray can you fix it?" Trish asked.
"How about you get him to let me go first."
"Nope, you stand still. If not I will tell Uncle that you lied about your condition." Trish smiled evily. "What's it gonna be?"
"Fine. But this isnt over."
"Gray cant you be a little more delicate?" Sabrina asked feeling uncomfortable.
"I could have, but her Manetric told me some things that I did not like hearing." Gray voice was a little cold. it was not directed towards Sabrina but his patient. "Your att.i.tude has caused stress for your Pokemon as well. You may have ignored it, but she didnt. She has been sacrificing her self to make sure your leg stays healed."
"What!?" She asked. She looked at Manectric who was sleeping. "I didnt know."
"Yeah well that is that." Sending a pulse of aura threw her leg the corruption was expunged and absorbed by Gray. Dropping her on the ground he looked at Trish. "You are next. Come here." His finger moved in a come hither motion.
"What I havent broken any bones?" Trish stood in front of him. "What is it.. ehhh" Hray hugged her tightly. What do you think you are doing?!" She asked a little embarra.s.sed.
"Giving you a hug." Gray pulled back and looked at her. "A way of saying thanks from the time in the forest. As well as for you being a good friend." Looking down he saw she was slightly wet from his shorts. "Ah sorry bout that." With a wave of his hand the pants dried from the heat.
(Trish: Miniscule corruption)
"Hmm, I shouldnt mess with people I am told so guess this will have to do." Gray touched her wrist and took the small toxin out. "There, you should feel better soon."
"Umm, yeah thanks."Trish stated at Gray and couldn't help but rember the forest incident
Mustering her courage she asked, "if you were told not to mess with people what would you have done?"
"Easy this," sending a psychic pulse Gray did what he usually does to Gale. Showed him embracing Trish instead. The problem with that happen to be she was a little to innocent.
"You..my.. when.. did." Trish leaned back red faced with her eyes spinning.
"Maybe to much?"
"You think!' Her sister said a little angry. Gray could see the little blush she had as well. "Yhis is why I dont want her near you till we can get out aura trained better."
"Sabrina could help with that. Or I friend Jackie could." Gray said pointing to the others that just arrived.
"Hray what did you do?" Sabrina asked puzzled.
"Something yo udont like me doing. Just showed it to her and didnt do it instead." Gray walked back to the lake. He was determined to enjoy a good float again.
"Splash," the water was still just right. Then he saw in the water to the side. Jackie had dived in. She swam around the water circling the edge. Gray turned away to keep from causing a problem.
"d.a.m.n that is just wrong. Hehe. Chuckling and closing his eyes he fell asleep quickly. It was much later when he woke up.
"I think you are going nuts." A voice said rousing Gray a little. It was June. "There is no way Gray slept with those two. He was barely around them long enough. You are worrying for nothing."
"I still think you should be wary." Chroma said. "I still think you should tell him what you saw already. You and Sabrina both."
'What ever it is.. not my concern.' Gray went back into dreamland. 'If they want me to know they will tell me. Sain Peter said I should make my friends happy. Hopefully not acting intrusive will work.
