Night and Day (N+D BK 1)

Night and Day- Seven

With Baron in his Poke Ball and Leila Natalie's temporary Partner Pokemon, they set off to their next destination: To recue Raiden, the jolteon from Leila's past. He helped her evolve and th drak haired trainer was ready to help her Pokemon.

Leila was running ahead, her golden eyes watchful of anything unusual. Suddenly, she stopped, turning around to her trainer. "I got an idea, but it involves you hiding."

"What is it?" Natalie asked painfully.

"I'm going to run off into the woods by myself and I need you to follow from a distance away." Leila replied, looking off into the woods. "That way Team Rocket knows that nobody's there to protect me, but you are. So it works out perfectly. Bring out another Pokemon for a second Partner." the umbreon encouraged the idea.

"I like it, but call if you need help." Natalie said, taking out a Pokemon Ball. "Come out, Omar. We need you for our plan." she threw it up and a green snake fell out. He fell on the ground and looked around, the snivy's hazel eyes careful, yet dangerous.

"Omar, I need you to walk by me while this plan is going on, okay?" Natalie asked the snivy.

"Yeah, yeah. Anything else?" he asked.

"Yes, only I need it from Natalie for this one. You got any Pokemon that can climb, fly, or simply just follow me from a distance?" Leila asked, turning to her trainer.

"I got Quan, Doyle, and Violet. Baron wouldn't want to follow you because he doesn't want to apart of the plan."

"Okay. Send all of them out and let them follow me. Violet can attack from the trees. Doyle can probably follow on the ground along with Quan." Leila trailed off.

"Tell me the plan completely." Natalie said, turning to look in the woods.

"I'm getting a little confused myself, Umbreon." Omar snickered.

"It's Leila." she growled at the grass type Pokemon. Then turning to her trainer, she said, "The plan is for them to meaningly catch me. But when they are going to use a Team Rocket Ball, all your Pokemon attack. Hopefully, then, they drag me to their hide-out. We bust in and save all the Pokemon!"

"Good plan, only what would happen if you caught?" Natalie asked carefully.

"That's where you come in. If they are still wanting to catch me, get my Dusk Ball out and get me in there!"

"I like this plan." Omar said finally, his hazel eyes staring at the shiny umbreon. "Great tactic. But what are we going to do about Baron?"

"He can fight if they want to fight over me." Leila replied.

"Let's get going before we loose anymore time. Good plan, we're going with it." Natalie commented thoughtfully.

Leila nodded then turned to run off. Behind her she heard Pokemon Balls open and three Pokemon land on their feet. She heard Natalie's muffled voice as she told them the plan. She stopped and soon heard pawsteps following her a distance away. The sound of bark falling off the tree as Violet jumped from branch to branch, watching the umbreon carefully.

The shiny umbreon trotted into the woods, moving her pointy ears this way and that, listening for any sounds of humans. She only heard bird Pokemon chattering from the tree tops before being scared away by the sight of a Zorua. Leila couldn't see her, but she knew all of them were close, watching her.

Soon, the woods turned quieter and quieter, making Leila's fur rise up in fear. Her golden eyes were now wide to see if she could see what she wanted to see. She thought she heard a footstep to her left, but there was nothing. A tail swished through the undergrowth and she knew it belonged to the Mightyena. Red-brown eyes looked at her through an opening of the undergrowth before blinking. They stepped out of the cover, and sure enough, it was the Mightyena. Only this time, he had a red bandanna on that had a white capital 'R' on it.
