Kelts smiled at Alanya's response. [i]I suppose not. It keeps things interesting, at least.[/i] 

As they continued through the forest, Kelts thought back to back when he had met Ritsu. He hadn't even known him for a minute before he had to go getting in trouble. Although, if he hadn't, the Kirlia probably would have been captured that day and shipped off. Those from The Academy probably wouldn't have shown him mercy for leaving, either. 

His head cocked to the side at a sound coming through the trees. Was someone singing?

Ritsu sat down in front of the lake, soon joined by many pokemon. He stared in awe at the girl dancing on the water, unable to believe what he was seeing. Was that... Suicune? He remained in his skitty morph, not wanting to startle either the legendary Gijinka in front of him or the multitude of pokemon now surrounding him.
