(Jenna)

We found ourselves inside a large dark cave, along with everyone else after the Hyperspace Hole disappeared. Several Litwick and Lampent, as well as a Chandelure, used their flames to light up the cave; even a few Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist pitched in with their lights. Upon seeing everyone that Malamar and company had captured, and others that I didn't know had captured, I ran over to them.

They all met me halfway.

(FYI: I'm talking about my parents, brother, Hannah, and grandfather. Plus my Pokemon friends; Grovyle, Umbreon, Espeon, Gothita, Zorua, Shiftry, and Meditite.)

We were all embracing each other. Except Darkrai, he was looking for the Pokemon who brought us here.

"Were you surprised?" asked a mischievous voice belonging to none other than Hoopa.

"Hoopa!" I shouted with happiness as I hugged the little guy. "Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Hoopa blushed and rubbed the back of his head while smiling.

"YOU!" Darkrai yelled angrily. "I should have known you were involved!"

Hoopa made a 'yipe' sound then he tried to hide behind me as Darkrai moved menacingly closer.

"Darkrai, I asked him to help us!" I explained quickly as I held my hands out to stop his advancement. "He came to me last night and offered to get everyone, except the bad guys, out of the castle before Yveltal destroyed the place!"

"You put the safety and well-being of everyone here, including yourself, in the hands of that troublesome Imp!" There was a vein pulsing on his head as he yelled.

"What did Hoopa ever do to you and Cresselia?" I asked/demanded with hands on my hips. "And hasn't he done enough to make up for whatever it is he did?"

Darkrai just glared at Hoopa, that vein still pulsing as Hoopa continued to hide behind me while trembling.

"Hoopa? Is that you?" Zorua asked as she came over.

"Zorua!" Hoopa exclaimed in happiness after he turned his head to her. Then he flew over and the two embraced before dancing around in circles.

"Looks like those two are friends," I heard my brother comment.

"Why does that not surprise me," Zoroark commented in the same amused tone of voice.

Suddenly I began feeling very dizzy. I leaned against somebody to keep from falling over and that same someone put their hand on my forehead.

"Holy Murkrow!" They shouted; it was Ben. "Jenna! You're burning up!"

"Oh, I'm fine!" I told him as I pushed myself away from him. "I'm just tired!" I added as I took a step back but then stumbled.

"You are NOT fine!!!" He exclaimed as he stopped me from falling. "Your body's so hot it could melt Never-Melt Ice instantly!"

I was having trouble keeping my eyes open, not to mention staying in an upright position, when Cresselia told him: "You're overreacting to nothing, Ben." She was slurring her words a little as she was talking. "Jenna and I just-"
