I was going to continue on my HM chapters, but my friend gave me this awesome idea involving Cynthia and how she somehow always knows where the heck you are. This is my reason for how she does it. Enjoy. Onto the chapter!

Chapter 3: The Incredible and Magical Cynthia

David and Sharran watched with pity as the defeated Team Galactic goon stumbled away, exhausted from running all the way from Pastoria to the lake. Once he was gone, Cynthia suddenly walked up to them. She smiled upon seeing the pair.

"Well, what a surprise to see you two here already," she commented.

"Well, I did just defeat Crasher wake." David said. "Where did you come from?"

"Oh, nowhere," Cynthia replied. "By the way, have you seen a group of Psyduck blocking Route 210?"

"Yeah," Sharran nodded. "We can't get past them."

"Well, I have a way to help move them. Use this Secret Potion on them and their headaches should be cured." Cynthia gave Sharran the Secret Potion.

"Wow! Thanks, Cynthia!" David replied. "Hey, how about you and me go out for dinner in Veilstone once we ditch this bi—AAAAAH!!"

Sharran stomped angrily on David's foot. "What were you about to call me?"

"Nothing! Owie…" David started hopping around on one foot, rubbing his injured foot. "Dude, you better not have gotten dirt on my shoes!"

"Who cares? And isn't she a little old for you, David?" Sharran asked.

Before David could reply, Cynthia butted in. "Well, I hope that solves your problem. See you later!" The blonde walked away.

Sharran made sure to hit David when she noticed him watching her leave. "Bring out your Staraptor and get us to Solaceon Town."

"Who are you, my mother?!" David demanded.

"I may as well be! You obviously need one!" Sharran barked back.

"…Shut up!" David growled.

Staraptor shook his head in shame before grabbing the two teens by the shoulders and flying to Solaceon Town. Once there, he gratefully dropped them and went back into his Poke Ball. His ears were still ringing from the two trainers shouting at each other. I hate my life, he thought.

Once David and Sharran raced their bikes through Solaceon Town and Route 210, they arrived at the café. Sharran sprayed the Secret Potion and waved goodbye as the four Psyduck fled.

"Finally! Let's head back and get some rest. I'm tired!" David said. He turned around to start walking…and crashed straight into Cynthia. "…Boobs…"

"Pervert!" Sharran shouted, hitting him on the head with her Pikachu's Iron Tail.

"Ow…" David slid to the ground, unconscious.

"Sorry about him." Sharran said, glaring at the unconscious boy. "Hey, how did you get here so fast? We only saw you near the Lakeside Resort five minutes ago. You can't get from there to here in five minutes and, as far as I know, you don't have Fly."

"Oh, I have my ways." Cynthia replied. "I was wondering if you would bring this Old Charm to my grandmother since you're heading toward Celestic Town."

"Sure, why not?" Sharran shrugged. "I'll be taking him."

"Good luck on your journey, Sharran. I hope you gain the courage to finish the Gym Leader challenge one day." Cynthia said.

"Why?" Sharran asked.

"Oh, no reason. Bye!" Cynthia walked away.

"…What a weird woman." Then Sharran got to thinking. "She likes folklore and Legendary Pokemon. Maybe one of them are helping her find us! Yeah, that's it!"

Grabbing David, she walked back to Solaceon Town with a smirk.

Two weeks later…

"Boss Cyrus…" Mars whimpered.

"What was that thing?" Jupiter asked, scared.

"It must've been Giratina,"

"Cynthia!" David cried.

"How the heck is everyone finding us up here?!" Sharran shouted.

"Oh, just a guess," Cynthia replied.

"Some guess," Sharran muttered. It must be one of these three Legendary Pokemon. It just has to be!

"We must follow Giratina. Sharran, come with me." Cynthia said.

"I'll go with you!" David volunteered.

"No, only Sharran and I must go." Cynthia argued.

"Why? I don't want to go." Sharran muttered.

"Let's go!" Cynthia grabbed Sharran's hand and dragged her into the portal, entering the Distortion World.

A few hours later…

Cynthia and Sharran stepped out of the portal, exhausted but victorious. While David practically showered Cynthia with unwanted affection, Sharran stared down at the Master Ball in her hands. Maybe Cynthia won't be able to magically find us anymore now that I caught Giratina…even if I didn't want to…

Sharran reluctantly broke the news to Mars and Jupiter of Cyrus' decision to remain in the Distortion World. Once they left, Prof. Rowan herded her and David out of Mt. Coronet. It was only then that she noticed Cynthia had strangely vanished…again!

Three weeks later…

Sharran took a deep breath and took a step forward onto the boat that would take her to the Battle Frontier. She had gone ahead and conquered her fear of Volkner, going so far as to defeat the entire Elite Four. Battling Cynthia as Pokemon Champion had been a shock but she did it nonetheless. Cynthia hadn't magically appeared since.

Just as she was about to board the boat with David, a hand landed on her shoulder. "My, you've sure gotten stronger since we last met."

"Cynthia!" David cried in joy.

"How did you—" Sharran started.

"That's my little secret, Sharran." Then Cynthia went on to ramble how life between Pokemon and humans was harmonic and such. Just before she left, she smiled at Sharran. "I still have two back-ups, dear. Bye!"

Then it hit Sharran. Dialga and Palkia! Ooh! Cynthia, I hate you! Sharran mentally screamed.

David poked her. "Dude, are you okay? Your face is red. Dude? Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Sharran rode the rest of the way in silence, plotting a thousand different ways to kill her 'personal stalker', Cynthia. And David continued poking her just to keep himself amused through the whole ride.
