                   Katherine's P.O.V.

"Whoa! That mon is you? How come you didn't tell me?"

"Thought you'll figure it all out by yourself."

"Eh, I didn't," He said, rather blunt to my ears. Funny.

"You're not dense right?" I asked him.

"Nope. Do you think I am?" He replied and pouted. A childish gesture, but due to his annoyance, it didn't bother him at all.

"No, but you do look dense when you pout like a child throwing tantrums."

Philip laughed and smiled boyishly.

"Clever. No wonder they put you as the leader."

I strode through the area, wondering how many floors we've been through.
I blinked when a ray of light shone on my eyes. Hey.... this must be... the last floor!

"The item!" I remembered. I grinned; we're close to finishing this. I ran excitedly to the light, ignoring Philip who was calling out my name.

"Kate!"

A blur of yellow zipped from my side and blocked my path. I took a step back, startled by the sudden move.

"Let's just go there in a slow and steady pace. What if some random Pokemon are waiting there and attack us?"

I sighed; he was right. Even worse, those Pokemon could be Norsoe's servants, and I'm not taking any chances.

"Yeah..." I surrendered. "Maybe you're right."

"Good girl." He teased. I took the opportunity to elbow him.

"Ow."

"Don't talk to me like that."

Philip just laughed at my words. He was.... fast. Well, it's totally expected for a Jolteon, for their speed stats are
immensely high.

But not fast enough to dodge my elbow...
I thought.

"Let's get this over with."

"All right. I'll follow your lead... Philly." I teased. Philip rolled his eyes.

"Okay, Kate-ey cake...."

"What did you call me?"

"Kate-ey cake. What's wrong with that?"

Now it's my turn to roll my eyes. Philip chuckled at my annoyance. We took a peep from behind some boulders, scanning the area to see if there are some Pokémon around.

"All clear."

I wonder what kind of item they lost in here...

"You seem so sure about your conclusion," I began. "But Pokémon in here normally attack us."

Then we heard a noise.
