Oz: Yeah I know Raikou is ugly but I like him, I always have for some reason. But he will be important soon in the story ...

Hey! Lisa cared about Gavin's psychic returning! He just didn't want to talk about it. She's nice. Leave the poor thing along

Hehehe ... Oak is annoying me too, I wish he'd be a bit less ... well, get lost and confused less often, it would make people like him more. Still, that's the way it's gotta be.

As for Marina, she could surf there I spose but her family doesn't want her to. After being kidnapped by the Union, they'll be wanting to see her as soon as possible, therefore Marina's taking the quickest and safest way home.

XD ... the spoiler.

And finally Lance. Hmmm ... what could he be up to? Something mysterious probably, knowing me. Heh, thanks for reading.

Karania: No, nothing new yet, I'm still struggling along with the next chapter, which should be less confusing. Where is Missouri anyway? I've heard the name before but I've often wondered where it is.

Cheers!
