Hi! Now the new saga started and so I'll try something new now. I recognised that it's very annoying if you have to read the whole Pok�mon language stuff and after writing just 'mew' for two lines, I decided to delete this part. But since Mewtwo and Suicune can talk the human language, I put the words of the others in the ' things. Just remember that they usually speak in Pok�mon language. Maybe this is stupid and very confusing, so I'll make two different versions from now on. The first version is the old one, with the Pok�mon language inside, the second is the new one. Just mail me what is better. But now, I talked enough, enjoy chapter 8!

"So where will we go next?", Sephia asked. Three days had past since Team Rocket was defeated. The sun was ready to go down and the three birds were searching some food. Mew, Suicune, Mewtwo and Sephia sat at a small fire.
"Just north. In three days, we'll reach the mountains." Mewtwo looked up. "It's nice to see the sky again." He laid back to watch the orange sun when Articuno flew across the clearing where they were resting. A few snowflakes fell down from his wings and landed on Mewtwo. The psychic Pok�mon sat up quickly.
"Hey Articuno! Look first before you're snowing!", he yelled angry. Articuno landed. 'Sorry Mewtwo. Here is our meal.'
Sephia glanced at it and her stomach turned around. Even eating the Pidgeys was hard for her, but today Articuno had caught Goldeens. She hated fish! "Where are the others?", she asked, hoping that they would catch more tasty things. 'They're coming!', the bird of ice answered. Just a few seconds later, Zapdos landed. He also had fish with him. Sephia sighed and watched Mewtwo as he took a fish and began holding it next to the fire.
Sephia turned around when she heard Moltres. He was about to land, trying not to burn the trees. Finally he managed it and Sephia recognised that he had two Pidgeys in his beak.
"Oh, Moltres!", Sephia yelled, ran to the Pok�mon and hugged him. Moltres, feeling uncomfortable, tried to push her away.
'Hey, is everything alright?', he asked. "I thought I was forced to eat fish!", she said happy and took the Pidgeys from him. 'I hate water, so I don't catch fish.', the fire bird explained.
"You don't eat fish?", Suicune asked. "No. Fish is ugly.", Sephia claimed. 'It's delicious!', Articuno said and swallowed a fish in one turn. Sephias stomach turned around again. Finally, she grabbed the Pidgeys and threw them in the air. Moltres used a weak Fire Blast and when they came down again, they was already backed. Mewtwo divided one of them and gave one half to Mew and the other to Moltres who took a fish, too. Sephia started eating the other Pidgey.
When everyone finished the meal, Mew came to Sephia. The girl smiled. She knew that Mew wanted a cookie.
"That's the last one, Mew. We don't have anymore now."
Mew took the last cookie and looked more than sad. "Mew mew mew mew! (We have to get new ones!)" "We have to go to a city for new ones. And we can't do that. You are rare, remember? Beside that, you have to live without them when you are at home again." She petted the Pok�mon and hugged her finally when Mew started crying a little bit. "O Mew! Don't be sad. There are more important things than cookies, for example your freedom, right?" Mew nodded slowly. Sephia smiled.
Suicune stepped to them. "Are you coming? It's late!", she said and the two others stood up. The nights were very cold and the seven friends found out that crowding together was the best way to stay warm.
Suicune laid down next to Moltres, enjoying the warmth. Sephia hugged Suicune and used the water Pok�mon as a pillow. Mewtwo climbed on Moltres' back and rested there, Mew in his arms. Zapdos was sleeping next to Moltres, pricking him a little bit with his sharp feathers. Articuno was sleeping a few meters away, he was the only one who enjoyed the cold air.
Before drifting off to sleep, she smiled. She never was so happy. Now, she had good friends, something she never had have in her whole life. But she knew that this was just a short luck, lasting for just a few days.
At the next day, they continued their journey. "Where are we?", asked Suicune. Sephia took out a small map. "Hmm...from this hill, we should see Saffron City!", she said and pointed to a small hill. "The mountains are behind the city."
They climbed up the hill and everyone gasped. The city was the biggest one Sephia had seen and the Pok�mon had never been near the humans, so it was the first time in their lives. Mewtwo growled. "Humans everywhere. I should blast them all!" "You can't mean that!", Sephia shouted. "Why not?", the psychic Pok�mon asked and looked back at the city. "At least it'll took two more days if we go round it." Sephia bowed her head, deep in thoughts. "Yeah, that's right. But I don't know a way how we can change this."
'Can't we go into the city and buy some cookies?'
Sephia laughed. "No, Mew. Remember what told you yesterday." "Can't you buy something to hide us?", asked Suicune. "What do you expect? We have about 800 Pok�dollars, that's not much.", Sephia answered.
'We have to find a way, I want to go home fast!', Articuno said and all of them nodded. Sephia scraped a hole with her foot, nervously. "Well....maybe there is a way...but you must trust me...", she said with a low voice. Everyone turned to her. 'What's your idea?', Moltres asked.
"I...I can buy a few Pok�balls, catch you and let you free when I went through the city", she whispered. The six Pok�mon were quiet for a few seconds. Then, Mewtwo let out a howl and his violet eyes were glowing. "NEVER!", he yelled. Sephia was nearly sure that he would blast her now, but before he did something, Suicune lowered her head. "I agree", she said. Mewtwo gasped. "Suicune! You can't mean that!", he shouted.
"I trust Sephia. She helped me, she saved my life and she is my friend, the only real friend I ever had. I believe that she'll let me free, and even if she won't do, she is the best trainer I can think of!", she said with a calm voice, looking into Mewtwos eyes. Sephia hold her breathe. No one had ever said something like this about her. She hugged Suicune tight, covering her face in her soft fur, hiding her tears of happiness. Suicune purred. Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos looked at each other and nodded.
'We agree, too!', Zapdos said and smiled. Sephia and Suicune looked up. "My friends!", she whispered and more tears ran down her cheeks. She hugged each of them and turned around to Mewtwo. He was just staring at them, but caught himself. "So our ways will separate now", he said. Sephia nodded. "Good luck you two", she said.
'No, I'll go with you!', Mew said suddenly. Everyone looked at her. "Mew, don't be stupid now! Just two more days! That's nothing, but the risk that she'll catch us forever is really big!", Mewtwo growled, angry. Mew shook her head.
'It has nothing to do with the two days. I just like Sephia and I want to stay with her as long as I can. I'll meet you at home.' With this words, she turned around and nuzzled Sephia who grabbed the little Pok�mon and kissed her on the forehead. Mew laughed and flew around happily.
Mewtwo still stood there and suddenly, he grinned. "Well, in this case, I'll stay with you, too. Just to protect Mew. And don't think that I can't blast the Pok�ball from inside. Just try to keep me in there longer as usual and you'll die!"
Sephia smiled. "Ok, Mewtwo. I agree."
Suddenly, Articuno started laughing. 'Don't be worried, Mewtwo. She understood what Zapdos and Moltres said previously, so she must like them really!' Sephia stood up. "Articuno, you are right! And I can understand you, too!", she yelled happy and hugged the ice bird again.
"Then go to Saffron City now and buy the balls. We'll wait here", Mewtwo said.
Sephia nodded and started to walk down, happily. She wasn't sure about it, but she believed that she had seen a little warm smile on Mewtwos face.
