"Why be friends when you destroyed my life?!" I yelled as I rolled, causing her to fall off me and release my hand. Faster than any normal human being, I kicked her in the back, sending her flying through the wall.
"Not the house!" I heard someone yell. I didn't care. I made a quick leap after her. Outside, I pinned her to the ground under my foot.
"I can't ever forgive the rat!" I said. "I don't give crap if you're an outcast. All I know is you destroyed my life, and if I get locked up, it'll be your fault!" I sensed the head looking out the hole in the wall, a smirk on his face.
"So the cat has the rat... for now," I heard him say. That's when the girl made another stand.

Deep inside a garden sanctuary, there was a colossal, hollowed-out tree. Inside of this tree were three rooms. The first one, which was little more than a cavity in the tree trunk, was used for the storage of berries, food, and a few little items (Like some Max Revives, for example) that would come in handy if trouble arose or if the cozy little tree-house was under attack. The second room was much larger, though it hardly contained any items at all. Of course, there was a small bed of leaves at the far corner, for this was where the Blue Eon Pokemon, Latios, slept. In the third room, where the Latias resided, though, had shelves neatly packed with all sorts of knickknacks lining the walls. The Red Eon Pokemon was more interested in things that the human race made than her brother was.
And right now, the Latias was tapping out a steady rhythm against the wall with a pair of drumsticks she had found while flying through Altomare's city streets one night. This was the only thing she could think of to do on a hot and sticky summer day like today. Her brother, Ciel, was out running errands of some sort in the Hoenn Region and had left his sister at home. Fleur let a heavy sigh escape her lips. Why did Ciel get to have all the fun? Perhaps it was because he was older, and therefore, all of the other Pokemon thought he was more important? Fleur grunted at this thought and sent her drumsticks hurtling across the room. She then let out an angry, shrill cry and flopped her large body against the floor.
She had stayed that way for almost two hours straight when a sudden thought crossed her mind. She cursed herself for not realizing it before. While Ciel was gone, Fleur could go and visit her Celebi friend. Chlora would most likely have nothing to do either, and the two could have some fun traveling through time - with Chlora's help, of course. The trip wouldn't be too long; both Latias and Latios were gifted with flying speeds that could outrace a jet plane. The problem, though, was staying out of the sight of the humans. But, Fleur had a solution for that too.
She let herself rise into the air, and then flew out of the tree-house "door", making sure that no human saw her. She gained altitude so that she was in direct sunlight, but close enough to the treetops to stay hidden. With a ruffle of her red and white feathers, she became invisible in the sky, the light's refraction on her down causing her body to be transparent to the human eye. With an unseen smirk at her own trick, Fleur blasted away towards the distant horizon where the sea and distant lands beckoned.
The Latias looked down upon Altomare, which was shrinking fast. This was her and Ciel's home. They had guarded the island-city for countless years. Fleur felt a pang of hesitation on leaving the Venice-like town abandoned by its two guardians, but eventually shrugged her uneasiness off and jetted onwards towards the Johto Region.
The fresh, salty breeze, the partially cloudy sky, and the endless blue-green of the ocean revived Fleur's good mood and refreshed her senses. She realized she needed to do this more often. With a coo of happiness, she descended from the clouds, skimming the water's surface with her underbelly. The sea cried out to her, and she obeyed its request. Without further ado, Fleur plunged into the depths of the ocean.
There was nothing but an expanse of an ever-darkening shade of blue, the sunlight filtering through it, and the occasional group of bubbles that ascended from a midnight oblivion. There was something about water that fascinated the Red Eon Pokemon and made her want to stay beneath the surface forever, or however long the world would last; she and Ciel had been here for... eons, thus earning the pair their nickname, the "Eon Pokemon". And apparently, they weren't going to kick the bucket anytime soon.
Eventually, Fleur had to come up for air. She said a silent farewell to the underwater realm and regained altitude. The outline of the Johto Region was emerging on the horizon now. Fleur picked up speed, the excitement of visiting Chlora beginning to escalate. She could see the Johto coastline by this time, and the small spots that were really seaside towns were getting bigger by the nanosecond.
She could now see tiny humans dotting the beaches. She was ready to burst into nothing but a giant puff of feathers from giddiness. Fleur could make out what Pokemon the humans had with them and the details of the buildings in the towns. The beach faded into grasslands and then into hilly terrain. Suddenly, the hills stopped and Fleur cleared the human civilization. All that was before her and beneath her was forest land.
It was time to descend. The Latias dove into the treetops, becoming visible again. A flock of Pidgey escaped into the air, startled at the red and white Legendary Pokemon crashing through the tree branches. Fleur halted her dive a few feet above a gurgling stream, sending water droplets flying everywhere from the sudden downburst of air. She shook off the cold spray and looked around at the ever-green scenery. This was the Celebi's forest. Chlora would probably arrive soon to investigate the cause of the loud noise that Fleur had made.
Fleur's prediction was right. A few moments later, a small, green creature emerged from a time portal in a grassy clearing nearby. "I heard the forest calling to me," she said to no one in particular. "Who wishes to make such a racket in my forest?! I swear, if it's another group of humans trying to cut down trees or some Trainer trying to capture me, I'll kill you! This is getting ridiculous!" Chlora scanned the area around her. "Oh, I see! Trying to play hide and seek, are we? Don't think you can sneak-attack me so easily! I'm-" Her ranting was interrupted by a giggle from behind a tree.
Chlora's expression lightened when Fleur peeked out. "Fleur! It's you! I'm so happy you came to visit!" she exclaimed, fluttering over to the Latias. "Well, I wasn't sure if I should've even visited when you started going off!" Fleur replied, still amused at the image of the tiny Celebi screaming out threats to the humans. Chlora attempted to punch Fleur's stomach, but ended up hurting her own hand in the process. They both burst into hysterical laughter, overjoyed at the fact that they now had some way to pass the lazy summer day other than wilting from the heat.
The two friends found a spot in the forest where they could see the sky. They both laid there, chatting and watching the clouds pass them by. A soft breeze stirred the grass around them, relieving them of the sweltering blanket of air hanging over them. Fleur wished this day could last forever. "This is the best day ever," she said. Chlora nodded in agreement.
"Yes, indeed."
[End.]

Can anyone even continue...? ^^;
Zaphea made an aerial attack. I didn’t want to fight but I didn’t want to be beaten to a pulp. As she tried to land an attack, I quickly sidestepped. At the same moment, I grabbed her arm and swung around, making her land face first to the floor.
I pinned my foot to her neck and twisted her arm behind her back. Everyone was surprised even the head. I glared at him.
“You’re just sick,” I said. I looked at the wall and said, “Even the sickly can be strong.” I could hear Zaphea growl. “Look, Zaphea, I don’t hate you,” I said. “Why be enemies when we’re both outcasts in this family?”
~~~~~~~
Okay, um anybody have an idea for the male heads' name?
After one of the zodiac convinced us not to fight, the head looked a little dissapointed. From the visits to the main house, I knew that this was normally followed by huge anger. I just wasn't sure who it'd be directed at. Probably me, for not fighting and for being me. Just as I suspected, his face went from upset to POed. I tried to turn and run, but the head caught my arm. I stopped and turned.
"So no fighting, eh?" he noted. "Well, since there's no fighting, then I guess we'll have to give you solitary confinement..." that wasn't that bad... was it? "and you won't need that bracelet in there!" I stood shocked, then nodded. Nobody was talking me out of the fight this time. Confinement was bad, but without my bracelet, for a long enough amount of time, I would become a brainless monster. It was the secret every cat kept to themselves. It's bad enough our looks and stench, but we had to fight the mind.
"You lost me my place in the zodiac, rat," I said, looking at the ground. Everyone backed away as far as they could, except the rat girl. "I will make you pay!" I looked up and went in for the attack. I had heard she was sickly, and it was obvious she wasn't up for fighting by the look in her eyes. Someone tried to block me, but I instead used them as a lift as an aerial attack...
~~~
I think we all agree that the head should be a guy, so I kind of made that final, but we still need an age and a name. For looks, I think he should look similar to Akito, but that's my oppinion.
~Zaphea
As I watch all the events building up, I figure that there is nothing I can do to stop any of it, so I sit and watch. After poor Zaphea comes back (though I'm fairly sure she got dragged back), and she and Yume make plans to fight after we eat. After dinner I watch the two of them get dragged back together to fight, and I suddenly decide to step in! I walk over quickly, and say "Don't break the house while you fight!" I had to copy Shigure's line thingie! All four of them(The head, Natsumi, Zaphea, and Yume) just stared..."Why did you just say that?" Zaphea asks, "I felt like it!" I say grinning. "Now, you two shouldn't fight. I mean, what's the point in it?"
"There is none." Yume says. The head scowls, I'm pretty mad at the head for doing all this, but I hide it well...I've seen when the head gets depressed...it's so pathetic, but in a way sad. So I can't bear to stay mad for long. Besides, even if I could stay mad, the head can be scary at times! After a lot of convincing they finally agree not to fight! I can see the relief written all over Yume and Natsumi's face!
**********************
We need to develop the head more
So is the head a boy or girl?
How old is he/she?
and mostly, what is his/her name?!?!
I think the head should be a boy, personally, and maybe 19...but I'm clueless as to name...What do you guys think?
