7 Stones of Nature

[Mikefox124]

Chapter 1


The night was settling for the night, as the bright moon began to shine beneath a small village undernear. Many Eevee were asleep, waiting for the next day to come, and to get back to their work and reputation. All slept, but one. He wasn't an Eevee, he was an evolved state. An Umbreon. He always been picked on during those times, and since then, he never sleeps at all. All he does...is watches the moon, for who knows what reason. Umbreon sighed, and turned around only to see his friend, Espeon, the Pokemon that woke up in the sun.
"Why are you awake?" Espeon said, with no emotion at all.

"I can't see you staying up all night, please, can't you just stay in?" Umbreon said sadly.

"No, I can't!" Espeon yelled, "I can't anymore, I'm an outcast for those creatures."

"...You've changed, have you?" she said to him.

"Ch-changed?"

"Yea, remember?" The mood began to unsettle and it went back to when both Espeon and Umbreon were Eevees alike. Umbreon was seen running around, joyfully with Espeon, both catching different objects, pouncing at eachother, and many other things. "We were best friends ya know..."

"Well..." Espeon began to wonder, "...No, I can't. Please understand Espeon."

"I can't! I can't see my best friend mind began to wonder, wondering if he'll go away or not!" She began crying out.

"I won't go! I promise."

"Well...can you at least stay over for the night?" Umbreon asked him. Espeon knew that Umbreon was not going to stop asking until he did go inside.

"...Sure." Espeon said, as he began walking towards Umbreon.

"Thanks..." Umbreon said to him, with a sigh of relief. They both began walking inside her leaf house, but however, the sky began to brittle. The clouds began going around in spirals, the moon being covered, the wind increasing, which wasn't noticable for the other Eevees.

The night passed, and soon, a new morning came. The Eevee were playing around, doing many things. Their utopia was never disturbed once, and they were never distrubted by any third party. Espeon looked around, and saw it to be a sunny day. The sunny day is what usually Espeon does to the town, making her the most unique from the rest of the Eevee. Espeon saw Umbreon, still sleeping, like he was relaxed. Espeon began to smile, and pawed at Umbreon. Umbreon began to grumble, and then eventually woke up.

"What's wrong?" Umbreon said, still sounding sleepy.

"Hey...want to go walking with me?" Espeon said sounding innocent as she was.

"Sure, if that is what you wish." As he got up, and walked off with Espeon. They both began walking towards the store, which compiled of many things, even the rarest that no one never saw before. From the trail of the store, Espeon saw something perticular.

"Haha, you call yourself a Eevee?" A bigger Eevee began to say in a smaller Eevee's face.

"Leave me alone guys!" The younger Eevee began to say.

"Hey boss, why won't we teach this weakling a lesson?" The Flareon said to a Jolteon.

"Yea, let's get him!" The Jolteon said, as the three began circling the Eevee.

"Help!" the Eevee yelled out. Umbreon saw the child, as saw his own past, being bullied and bullied, no one to defend him. No one saw him, he was an outcast. Umbreon looked sad for a while, but began thinking: What can he do? No, he can't allow this to happen again. He began running up to the trio.

"Hey! Let him go!" Umbreon said, lighting up his red eyes.

"Well well well, if it isn't the failure." The Jolteon said. "We're conducting our own business here, so why won't you make like a Skitty and tramp off!"

"Let...the child...GO." Umbreon's rage began opening up his psychic ability, as he lifted up Jolteon from the air, and threw him against another wall.

"Boss!" Flareon and the other Eevee said. "Okay, you're gonna get it!" Flareon said as he began running toward Umbreon. Umbreon jumped up, and landed on Flareon's back, and pounced off. The other Eevee began drawing up a tackle attack, and hit Umbreon surprisingly, which made his fall to the ground. He got up, and hit the Eevee with a quick attack, and made him go towards the Jolteon. He looked at the Flareon, and began letting his eyes go red again. He lifted him up, and began hitting him towards the ground, and threw him with the rest of the gang, all of them in pain.

"Whoa..." the younger Eevee said. "Wow, you're cool!"

"Are you okay?"

"They cut my tail..."

"Oh..." Umbreon said, looking at the sash at his tail. "Come with me, I'll get that handled."

"Umbreon!" a voice said in the distance, it was Espeon. "What happened?"

"An Eevee was getting attacked, so I had to defend him." The Espeon began to smile, and Umbreon noticed. "What is it?"

"Heh, nothing. What's wrong with the Eevee?"

"He has a cut on his tail."

"Oh..." Espeon looked at the Eevee, and saw the huge sash at its tail. "Well, I got something!"

"Who are you?" The Eevee asked.

"I'm Espeon, I'm Umbreon's friend."

"Wow, are you two like...boyfriend and girlfriend?" The Eevee said, innocently. The Umbreon flinched at this, while the Espeon began looking somewhere else, both blushing.

"Well uhh..."

"Not really..."

"Yea." Both Espeon and Umbreon scrambling their words. The Eevee began getting confused at what they were saying.

"Well uhh...hey yea, your tail." Espeon began digging in the basket she had in her mouth, and got out a green cloth. He put it on him, which covered the whole cut. "There you go!" Espeon said.

"Wow, thanks mam!" She said.

"Glad to help, right Umbreon?"

"Yea, I guess." Umbreon began looking where those three people are, and they were gone.

"Hey, I got to go. Bye you two!" as the Eevee began playfully running off.

"That's a sweet kid..." Espeon said.

"Yea." Umbreon said.

"So?"

"What?"

"Aren't we going to continue going?"

"Oh yea." Umbreon said nervously.

The day passed, and Umbreon and Espeon bought many things for the sake. Umbreon really wasn't looking, though Espeon bought him alot of things. They both got back into Espeon's house.
"So, what do you want to do tomorrow?" Espeon asked him.

"I dunno, whatever pleases you." Umbreon said dully.

Espeon began giggling. "Whatever, Umbreon." Umbreon looked up at the moon again, knowing that the nightshade is his only place where he can break free. He wondered about what was outside this town, and what people had the same fate as him. Espeon looked at him, wondering what Umbreon is thinking. She never knows what's on her mind. Umbreon looked up more, and for a minute, he thought he saw a shadow.

Another day came, but this time was different, there was a large crowd from the main street. Espeon woke Umbreon up, and they both went to see what was there. They saw the leader of the Eevees, who was a shiny Glaceon. Up there, was...the Eevee they met before?

"And so, we send off this Eevee off to our quest, to find who is causing this mess around the world. Are you ready, young lad?"

"Yes, I am!" The Eevee said. Espeon saw him.

"What is he doing?" Espeon whispered to Umbreon.

"They're doing the yearly ritual. They send out one Eevee chosen with the two red scales to go find the ultimate evil. That evil, no one knows..." Umbreon said.

"Oh no! But you told me, he was kinda defenseless."

"Of course." Umbreon said.

"Is there anyone who want to accompany the Eevee in his quest?" The Glaceon said. No one decided to offer. The only one who knew him was Umbreon, and well...

"I'll go." Umbreon said.

"What?!" Espeon said.

"You heard me." He said, as he walked up to him.

"Hey, I know you!" The Eevee said. "I forgot to thank you, for yesterday!"

"It's no problem."

"Umbreon, please, think before you do this!" Espeon said.

"I've made up my mind now, I'm helping him, with whatever ounce of power I can. Besides, I want to see the world for once, and find out what is out there. I dreamt about it all day, all night, since I was born..." Espeon stood silent, sounding sad that Umbreon is about to go.

"Well...fine." Espeon said sadly.

"Well, the two, you now go off into the unknown. May this city bless you, and good luck." The audience began to cheer in the background, as the Eevee began looking at the publicity.

"Wow...I can't believe I'm going from here. I'm gonna miss my friends."

"They aren't gone, you know."

"I know...well, let's go."

"Agreed." The Umbreon said, following the Eevee out of the village and towards a path. All Espeon can do, is watch.

[Mikefox124]

Okay, I'll try to keep that in mind. ^^

Chapter two right here. (Some mistakes here, so point them out. X_x; )

Chapter 2





It began getting dark near their path, nearly far away from the village. Umbreon looked back for a minute, and sighed. 'Espeon...' as he reminensed about her, thinking about the days before he left with the mysterious Eevee. Espeon began moving up again to the Eevee.

"So, what's your name?" Umbreon asked.

"Phoenix." The young Eevee said.

"Ah." Espeon said.

"Do you only go as the name Umbreon?"

"I don't have a name. The only thing that identifies me is myself, and my species. Which is rare upon the village." The moon began shining towards them, and Umbreon looked in the light. His eyes began concentrating at the moon without any thought at all like last time. His eyes began to glow red when looking at it.

"Hey, are you okay?" Phoenix asked him, noticing his eyes glow.

"Huh? Oh...yea." Umbreon said, interrupted from his gaze. Phoenix only looked at him confused, and began walking foward again. "...So which village are we heading to?"

"We're going to the water village near here. We can rest there, I think."

"Ah..." Umbreon's ear twitched. "Someone's following us."

"Who? Where?" Phoenix began looking around. Umbreon went forward to see who is following them. He saw a shadowish figure, and looked.

"I'm gonna pounce at it. Stay here."

"Right..." Phoenix said.

Umbreon looked at the figure once more and his eyes began glowing red. He jumped at the figure, and landed stright at it, and began shaking it around, with the figure screaming. Umbreon got out his claw, and lifted it.

"Umbreon, stop! It's me!" a feminish voice said. Umbreon stopped his claw, as he recongnized the voice.

"Es-Espeon?" Umbreon said confused. "What are you doing here!?"

"I want to help!"

"No way, go back!"

"I'm coming whether you like it or not!"

"No you're not!" The two just stood there arguing, which Phoenix looked where the two were arguing.

"Umm... am I uhh..." as he stood there seeing the two on top of each other.

Umbreon and Espeon stood confused at what he was saying.

"You two are still...guhh..." Umbreon noticed suddenly, and jumped off her, red as the sun. Espeon blushed also, and stood up.

"Why did you come here?" Umbreon asked her.

"I want to be with you. That's what friends are for..."

"...But..."

"Look, if you're gonna get all sentimental about how you worry about me not getting hurt, don't. I'm coming." Espeon said, making up her mind completely. Umbreon just looked at her, and sighed.

"Fine."

"Cool, I get another person!" Phoenix said jumping up and down excitingly. Umbreon looked away and tries to find out where the next village is.

"We have no time, we have to move." he said, moving towards the village. Espeon just stood there, looking at Umbreon walk away. She began to smile at him, making the decision to leave was a good thing for her and him as well. Phoenix began to walk with Umbreon. Espeon stopped daydreaming and began to run up to them.

At midday, they finally reach it to the village. Espeon looked around, as did Umbreon too.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Espeon said.

"I know, it's beautiful." Umbreon said. He dreamed of a place like this, exactly like in his dream.

"Sssh guys, they're coming." Phoenix said.

"Who?" Umbreon said.

"The elder of this village, about to welcome us." As he pointed his paw at the person walking to them. The elder was a Empoleon, who was a water and steel type Pokemon. He was considered the strongest one in the village.

"Welcome, chosen one..." Empoleon began speaking. "Welcome to the beginning of your quest." Phoenix begins to bow his head. Espeon, not paying attention to the whole thing, just began looking around.

"Espeon, bow your head." Umbreon whispered to her.

"Oh." Espeon quickly bowed her head.

"Now if you will excuse us, we'll get you prepared on your first point of your quest." Empoleon said to Umbreon and Espeon. Umbreon nodded his head, and Espeon got confused.

"Why can't we come in?"

"This is only for the hero to know...sorry."

"Okay..."

"Sorry guys..." Phoenix said.

"It's okay. We'll handle ourselves." Umbreon said to him. Phoenix smiled and nodded his head, and went inside with the elder. Umbreon looked around more. "There sure are alot of Pokemon here..."

"I know, most of them aren't even water Pokemon."

"That's because this is a cultured village." A voice said behind him. Umbreon and Espeon turned around, revealing to them a orange sea otter.

"Who are you?"

"My name would be Buizel. I'm the only one here in this village." Buizel said. "Everyone here are just Floatzels, no Buizels here..."

"Must be hard for you." Umbreon said.

"Indeed, but it never brings me down." Buizel said. "I'm mostly known through the village due to my good deeds."

"So you're like the guardian of this village, right?" Espeon said.

"Well...mostly, yea." Buizel said. "Want a tour for here?"

"Sure, I'd love it." Espeon said.

"I dunno..." Umbreon said.

"Oh come on, Umbreon. We just got out of our village, we need to at least look around."

"...Fine, if that is what you wish." Umbreon agreed.

"Okay, follow me." Buizel said. Umbreon and Espeon began to follow Buizel around the village. He showed them the many shops, which Espeon especially got intrested in knowing how she shops all the time.
Umbreon loved how the the village was designed, seeing the designs of the houses, but something questioned him.

"Where's your house?"

"I don't have a home." Buizel said.

"What?" Espeon said.

"Yeah...got destroyed whenever....well..." Buizel began thinking of the times whenever the village was set aflame, many houses burned, many lives claimed. "Nothing."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Umbreon said.

"Yeah...hey, why are you guys with the legendary hero anyway?"

"We're his guardians."

"Guardians? The hero doesn't need guardians, he should be strong willing, no need for anyone to help."

"Not nessicarily true for him...he may be strong, but for his sake, we come."

"Oh...well I still say that." Buizel said. Suddenly, Espeon's ears twitched.

"Did you hear that?" Espeon said.

"Hear what?" Buizel said. Espeon stood silent looking at the entrance of the village.

"Someone's coming." A shadow began coming towards the entrance of the village. Shaped at a huge-Floatzel like shape, except with no tail, and with blazes coming through its neck. Buizel looked at it, and reconqnized it completely. 'Typhlosion...'

Typlosion suddenly came out, pointing its mouth up, and shooting towards the village houses with Flamethrower, making houses set up ablaze. He began to go towards the elder's house, and about to flamethrower it.

"Get away from there!" Buizel ran up to him and delivered a swift kick with Aqua Jet, hitting him before he hit the elder's house, and the flamethrower up to the sky.

"You fool, what are you doing here?" Typlosion said.

"You're not setting this village aflame once more!"

"Heh, and you think YOU can stop me? May I not remind you of last time?" It said with determination. The Buizel stood silent, knowing what happened last time. Typlosion began to use Lava Plume, with Buizel still left as an open target. He shot at Buizel, but however, the attack went over him than at him! Umbreon was using a psychic sheild which guarded him and Buizel too. "Who are you?!"

"Someone you shouldn't be messing with!" Umbreon ran up to him quickly and hits Typlosion in the stomach, knocking him down.

"You ignorant pest!" Typlosion began shooting fire out of his mouth, while Umbreon begins running from the flames and makes his tail turn iron. He then jumps at him and hits him in the face, making him fall down once more.

"That's it, you're done for!" Typlosion began charging up his most powerful attack, Blast Burn.

"Look out, Umbreon!" Buizel began running towards him, trying to make him get away from the radius of the attack. Suddenly, it began raining, and Typlosion's blast burn went off. The fires eventually went off once it reached Umbreon's and Buizel's distance. "Wait...what just happened?"

"...Phoenix." Umbreon said. Phoenix then came out, and began using Hidden Power, which took the rain and hit Typlosion.

"Gah, what the?! Who are you?!" Typlosion yelled out in pain.

"Me? I'm Phoenix, the chosen one!" As he began shooting Shadow Balls at him, which hit Typlosion dead on. Typlosion, still getting hit, saw Espeon. Typlosion, with a quick attack, grabbed the Espeon.

"Oh no!"

"Espeon!" Umbreon yelled out.

"One more step, and you'll be expecting this girl to be dead!" Typlosion said.

"Let go of me!" Espeon yelled out.

"Let her go! Now!" Umbreon's eyes began glowing red, but more different. More redder than before, like he was angrier than before. Espeon then, without warning, used Flash, which blinded everyone in the village, including Typlosion. Umbreon, still angry, suddenly went into a stage that made darkness crawl into the ground, and grabbing Typlosion with a claw. He used the claw and used it to smash Typlosion to the ground, and Espeon went to Buizel and Phoenix.

"What's happening to him?!" Espeon said.

"I dunno, but something's wrong with him..." Buizel said. Umbreon turned back, and Typlosion went down for the count. He fainted, with no more energy left. Empoleon went out, and saw Typlosion on the ground. Umbreon, however, fell down as well.

"Umbreon!" Espeon ran up to him and shook him. Umbreon was dead silent, and was looking like he's in a trance. Espeon stood there, thinking about what happened to him. Empoleon went up to Typlosion.
"Whoa...he's down." Empoleon said. "Your guardians are amazing, Phoenix..."

"Indeed, I know." Phoenix said. "I trust them with my life."

"Umbreon..." Buizel said.

"Well done then, we have Typlosion now, and with him out of the way, there's no more harm for this village. Thank you..."

"It's no biggie." Phoenix said.

"We must celebrate this victory for us." Empoleon said.

"Wow, cool!"

"What about Umbreon?" Espeon said.

"We'll put him in our hospital near here. He'll be fine, I promise you that."

"Thanks..." Espeon looked at him, and began to smile.

A day passed, and Umbreon is still in the hospital. Phoenix and Espeon waited there, and waited for Umbreon to wake up. One of the Chanseys went inside.

"You got a visitor." She said.

"Let him in." Phoenix said.

"Yes, sir." She went to tell the person to come in. Buizel came in.

"Hey...I was wondering if he was okay..."

"He's making a good recovery, though I dunno when he'll wake up." Espeon said.

"Ah...I was wondering als-"

"Hey uhh, I got a question for you." Phoenix said.

"What's that?"

"Can you join us?"

"What? Why?"

"Well, you're the strongest one in this village byfar, I want you to come as my guardian."

"Well...it's an honor, sure!"

"Yay! Now we got another person!" He said, celebrating.

"It's good to you to come, Buizel."

"Yep. Hey, since we're here, you might as well stock up on supplies."

"Oh crap! I knew I forgot something here!" Espeon said, running out of the door. Phoenix stood there with Umbreon still.

"And also, I think I got something you wanted." Buizel said.

"What is that?" Phoenix asked.

"The stone for the water village. I heard that you needed all 7 to open something..."

"Oh yeah, that! That's the first one, thank you!"

"No problem, I know something's wrong in this world now, and I dunno what, but I want to help. Whether it is a legend, or a false one, I don't care. No one is going to harm my world." Buizel said.

The next day, everyone met up at the entrance of the water village, ready to go for the forest path towards the grass type village.

"It's good for you to join, Buizel." Umbreon said.

"Yep, I'm so happy to leave this place now."

"Ready to go guys?" Phoenix asked.

"Yep." Buizel said.

"Indeed." Umbreon said.

"I'm ready." Espeon said.

"Good, then let's go!" Phoenix said, walking towards the direction towards the forest. Buizel followed him, and Umbreon and Espeon walked behind them.

"So...what happened back there?"

"I...dunno. It just came out, I dunno why, but I think I know why I was different know..."

Chapter 3

Phoenix began walking into the forest, and begins looking around. The forest was full with many pokemon who were free throughout the forest, with many shining, blue lights. The plants were beautiful and exotic, like no one has seen before. The water dripping was refreshing, and sparkling on it. The wild flying pokemon flew out from the bushes, and went in a circle, dropping many petals which fertilized the plants. The plants began to bloom out.

"Wow...this place is beautiful." Espeon gawed out looking in surprise.

"I've been here before, this place NEVER had any troubles." Buizel explained to her, "This place never looks old to me..."

"Looks fine to me." Umbreon dully said like always. He still had his pains and thoughts from the water village, but still had the same look in his eyes.

"Hey! We're suppose to be going through here!" Phoenix yelled aruptly.

"We know, Phoenix." Umbreon said to him.

"Then what's taking so long?"

"...I want to see the sights, and I'm sure most of us do."

"Oh...well..."

"You can at least enjoy yourself while you're here."

"Right." Phoenix nodded his head. Espeon and Buizel were listening into this conversation.

"He sure knows how to explain things." Buizel said.

"Yep, he's always been to do that," Espeon sighed and paused for a minute; "Sure does bring back memories..."

"...You sound like you love him." Buizel snickered.

"What?! No! We're just friends, okay?"

"Right..."

Buizel began to go forward and look at the lake, and saw his reflection. He decided to jump in, and lay there for a while. His floatation sac began up to inflate.

"Wow, how do you do that?" Phoenix asked.

"My floatation sac on my neck, of course. It's really nifty because I can use it to float in the water." Buizel explained.

"That's cool!" Phoenix said overwhelmed at the sight.

"...We need to get across this lake. Just walk on, I'll meet you there." Buizel then began to swim across the lake in his own casual way, doing backstrokes, and all the works.

"You heard him, let's get there." Phoenix told to them.

"Right." Umbreon said, as he began walking towards a path that was going toward the end of the lake. Espeon and Phoenix began walking behind him, looking at the sights once more. He saw no fear in the air, no evil anywhere. This place was paradise.

"This is the most beautiful place I saw ever." Espeon said.

"It's a shame the world has so much evil now..." Umbreon said sadly.

"Don't think like that! Who knows, this place may still be here after this is over."

"Yeah..."

"Look...I have a question." she began to say gloomly.

"What?"

"...Well-" Before she can continue her question, Phoenix inturrupts them.

"Hey! Look!" Phoenix began pointing at the nearby pokemon group, who was a group of Bunearys. They were chanting in a simotanious voice, and many others began to join in at the sound.

"Whoa..."

"That's amazing..." Umbreon gawed at, but soon after 20 seconds of it, Umbreon began to think. 'I heard this song before...but where?' They proceeded to where Buizel is.

The chime began being heard throughout the forest, and many grass pokemon began to dance around and celebrate, as if it was a party. Umbreon got used to it, but still had the thought in his head where he heard it before. Espeon loved the sounds, and walked really proudly, as did Phoenix. Soon, they reached the end of the lake, where Buizel was.

"Finally, what took you so long?" Buizel said cockily.

"Eh, you're the swimmer here." Umbreon said. "What's with the tune?"

"It's a really old one, not even when I was born. No one knew where it originated now, but every time someone passes through this forest, they get cheerful, and peace goes throughout their lives. But well...some people, like Typlosion, just can't get to listen to this song at all..." he explained. "Well, it's not like I'm saying everyone out there is evil, but it's a pretty good tune at the least."

"I know! I love it, it just makes me want to dance!" Espeon squeed out. Umbreon began to laugh at that. "Oh, stop laughing!"

"Sorry, it just reminds me whenever you said that when you were a Eevee yourself...heh." Umbreon began to stop laughing, and Espeon began to smile, seeing him actually laugh like he used to once. Phoenix began to look up, and saw the forest began to get darker.

"Hey, what's happening?" Phoenix asked.

"It's getting dark." Buizel said. When the place was still getting darker, the lake still sparkled. "We better stay here for the night."

"Yep, might as well." Umbreon said.

"Hey wait a minute, can't we just get to the village?" Phoenix began to complain.

"When we get there, it'll be morning already." Umbreon explained. "It's better to rest than to be there tired."

"...Yeah, I guess so."

"There he goes again..." Buizel said.

"Yep..." Espeon began looking off into another directing, and saw the lake. "Hey, why is it still sparkling?"

"I dunno. Some say a legendary Pokemon is here. Some say the Pokemon lays there the spirit of the next hero. All seem pretty silly to me." Buizel said, as he began to yawn. "We might as well start laying down now, we have to get to the next village."

"Yeah, I suppose..." Umbreon said.

Soon, the group began to fall asleep, along with the many grass-type Pokemon here. Umbreon slept right near the lake, while everyone slept on the plants. Umbreon began dreaming, but still werid, like all of his dreams. Umbreon was in a castle, and he began wondering where he was.

"Where am I?" Umbreon began walking around inside the castle, and began to walk into a room. Soon, a tune began to come on, and a mysterious person was playing the piano, looking like he was playing the song. "Who are you?"

"Ah...Umbreon." the person said. "You're still here, even if everyone hates you..."

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Umbreon sounding confused.

"Of course you do..." The person began putting down its cloak, and out, was a shadowish figure.

"What are you?!" Umbreon yelled out.

"Hmph, you're still foolish." The figure said to him, as he began to float up. Umbreon began charging towards him, as if it was a Giga Impact.

"Die!" Umbreon began getting closer, and hit him down. The figure got hit, but soon got back up.

"Hmph, a scratch." The figure said. The figure suddenly raised up his hand, and the pottery around the room began to float up. The pots began shooting towards Umbreon, and Umbreon dodged each one, each dodge getting closer to him. Umbreon began to use Psychic, and shoot the pottery back at him. The figure began to charge up, and let both of his arms go out, and the pottery broke into many pieces. Umbreon began to go up to him and used Quick Attack, which did not even affect the figure at all.
"Hmph, look at yourself. You call yourself a Dark Pokemon?" The figure began to use to use Dark Pulse, which sent Umbreon sending back to the wall. He got back up, weakened, and his eyes began to glow red once more. Umbreon began to run towards the figure, and began using Shadow Claw. The claw went right into the ground, and right underground, and stabbed the figure. The figure began to fall, and fell right to his knees.

"So you were able to get me out..."

"And this is where you die..." Umbreon smirked.

"Fine...go ahead, if you dare." As the figure suddenly began to shift forms, and went into Espeon's form. "Go ahead..." as she began to taunt him.

"Espeon!? No..."

"Hmph..." Suddenly, Umbreon gets stabbed with the same shadow claw, and he gets thrown back. He lied on the ground, feeling like he was about to die. "You might have got stronger, but your emotions are the same..." The figure, still shapped like Espeon, opened up a purple portal, and went through it.

"No! Wait!" A black portal began to open, and Umbreon began to get sucked in. "What did you do to her?! Come back!" All that happened, is that she turned around, and winked at him.

Umbreon woke up, sweating, and breatheing very hard. He looked at Espeon, and saw she wasn't there anymore. 'Espeon...' Umbreon began looking around. He then saw Espeon at the lake, and she began looking at it. Umbreon began walking up to her, and went next to her. Both stood silent, standing there.

"...It's a nice lake, isn't it?" Espeon said calmly.

"Indeed." Umbreon said.

"I always dreamt of a place like this, Ya know?"

"Yep...hey, I just remembered something...what was that question?" Umbreon asked. Espeon began to blush, and began scrambling at her words, and then finally stopped.

"Nothing...leave it at that." Espeon said to him, as she began to put her head on Umbreon's arm and fell asleep. Umbreon stood there, however, and looked at the lake once more, wondering if there was anything in this lake at all. A small figure only spied at him and the Espeon, only with a smile.

 

[Grovyle42(Griff8416)]

It's pretty good so far. You should add some more detail into a few action scenes, though.

 

[Mikefox124]

I know, I'm back at action scenes at the moment. :(

Thanks! :D

Chapter 4

Espeon and Umbreon slept side to side that night, both having a good night rest, and Umbreon not having that dream from before. Umbreon still wondered about the lake, and its mystery that Buizel mentioned before. The sun rised, with Espeon and Umbreon still asleep, curled up, sleeping like cats. Phoenix and Buizel wake up, and seeing the two sleep like that made Buizel laugh
.
"Do you think we should wake them up?" Buizel asked, still laughing at it.

"I don't even want to know..." Phoenix said disturbingly. Phoenix decides to go up to them. "Though it is pretty cute."

"Eh, whatever you say." Buizel said while snickering, and goes up to them also. "Hey guys, wake up!" Espeon began to wake up, still tired.

"Huh...what is it?" Espeon mumbled, still drowsy and sleepy.

"Uhh...that's what WE want to know." Phoenix said kinda scared. Espeon began to blush, as she remembered that Umbreon and her were sleeping together.

"We were just sleeping. Nothing more, nothing less." Espeon responded.

"You sure you like him?" Buizel pestered.

"NO! Well...maybe...just a little. He is my best friend." Espeon began mumbling at her words, both shy and confused. Phoenix and Buizel just began to look at Umbreon.

"We'll keep a secret." Phoenix offered.

"Right." Espeon said.

"Good, now let's wake him up. " Buizel said, going towards Umbreon and shaking him. "Wakey wakey, sleepy head!" Umbreon began to grumble, and opened his eyes.

"Is it morning already?" Umbreon said.

"No, it's dark, and we're dying. Of course it's morning." Buizel said sarcastically. "Now get your butt up!" Umbreon stood up.

"Good, are we ready?" Phoenix said.

"Yea." Buizel said.

"Yep." Espeon said. Umbreon stood silent, looking at the lake once more. He knew something was there, but what? He wanted to know, but knowing the world needs saving, he has no choice. "Umbreon?"

"Oh, uhh...yeah." Umbreon said distracted, as he turned around.

"Good, let's go!" Phoenix said excited, as they begin going east towards the grass village. Umbreon, Espeon, and Buizel began to follow.

They got out of the forest, with the chime Umbreon thinks he heard in the forest, and begin heading toward the grass type village. The wet grass went between their paws as they went through their pathway, and as they got deeper into the path, the sights got more beautiful. Many exotic flowers came to their path, that Espeon just happened to notice, seeing the flower specialist she is, picks some. Many Starlys began to fly over them, each carrying seeds. Umbreon ears began to twitch, and he looked towards the bush around them.

"Someone's here." Umbreon announced.

"Who?" Espeon asked. Umbreon began to look around, and saw shuffling in multiple bushes. Umbreon layed his front side down in a pouncing position, and eyes began to glow red, stating his battling position. Suddenly, alot of grass type pokemon came out of the bushes, and began to form up in a circle. The circle has two layers, a full circle with Budews, a plant-like Pokemon that uses the move 'Sunny Day' to brighten up the day and disapprove worries of the day. It is also shaped like a seed of some sort. The second layer was a half circle with Roselias, a plant pokemon with roses for hands. The roses however, have toxic thorns, meaning they can get you poisoned. They surrounded the group, and seemed like they were going to attack. Espeon went to the opposite side of Umbreon, and began to get into her battle position as well. Phoenix looked around, and into position as well. Buizel, knowing that most of his water attacks are going to be useless, went to his fighting position as well, knowing he can still use Brick Break and Ice Beam, both of his attacks he never used before in battle.

The Budews began to put up their Sunny Day, making the grass type pokemon more powerful. Umbreon began to strike with Quick Attack, hitting two Budews in the side of the circle. Phoenix began to shoot a shadow ball at the front side of the circle, while Buizel went up to one and shot a Ice Beam, making a Budew frozen. Espeon began to use Confusion on her side of the Budews, and it made some of the Budews confused. The Roselias began to go up to the front, and began using to use Toxic Spikes, which put spikes on the ground. Some of them used Poison Sting on them, which could possibly poison and damage the group. Espeon dodged Poison Sting, but stepping on one of the spikes, made her jump. Buizel went up to one of the Roselias, and used Brick Break, which made it faint. Umbreon, getting hit by the poison stings, recovered and began to use Psychic, and threw one of the Budews into a Roselia, which made both faint. 4 Budews down, 2 Roselias down. About 6 Budews and 3 more Roselias.

A Roselia began to use Magical Leaf, and aimed it towards Phoenix. Phoenix saw the attack, and got hit by it, and rolled back. He layed on the ground weakened by it, and got back up staggering. Buizel began to use Ice Beam on a Budew, making it frozen. Umbreon began to use Quick Attack on a Budew, and made it faint. Espeon began to use Confusion again, and hit a Budew out of the way, and making it hit another Budew, which made both faint. One more Budew, two more Roselias. Both Roselias began to step back, and began to flee. Budew, still standing there, still wanted to fight.

"I got this one!" Phoenix said, going up to it using Quick Attack, and hitting it unconscious, but without a price, leaving Phoenix poisoned. Phoenix began to flinch.

"What's wrong?" Umbreon said.

"I dunno..." Phoenix said, still flinching.

"Ah man, he's poisoned!" Buizel yelled out.

"What?!" Espeon said.

"We got to get him somewhere quick, before he faints...or worse." Buizel said.

"Dang..." Umbreon said. Phoenix, still flinching, began to fall down. "I'll get him up. We got to get to that village."

"Right." Espeon said.

"Ditto." Buizel agreed. Umbreon picked him up, and put Phoenix on his back. He began to run towards the direction of the village, with Buizel and Espeon running behind him.

After about 5 minutes of running, they finally got to the village. Phoenix began running out of time, and they had to find a hospital quickly. Umbreon asked one of the villagers where he can find a Antidote, and he pointed him out to a center. They ran to the center, where they took Phoenix into a room to be dealt with.

"He'll be out in a few hours, he'll be completely fine." the Chansey said.

"Thank goodness..." Espeon said, still worried.

"Is there anyway to speed up the process? We need to get him to the leader here." Umbreon said.

"Sorry, but no." Chansey said. "Don't worry, Chansey's always get the job done."

"Right." Umbreon said.

"So what do we do now?" Buizel asked.

"Well, we might as well look around." Umbreon said.

"Yeah, I was wondering what kind of shops they have here." Espeon said smiling, and taking Umbreon's paw. "Come on, let's go see!" As she began tugging Umbreon's hand.

"Sure." Umbreon began to follow Espeon's lead, while Buizel stood there snickering at the two. He went out of the hospital, and began looking around. Buizel thought this place was pretty flattering, due to the many sparkling plants here. Most of the people here were bug type Pokemon, and the house in the middle was the guru house, where the leader of the village is. The shop was even full of plants and flowers, which increased the value of the place. Buizel just was happy that Typlosion was brought down at the water village, because he wouldn't want anyone to mess with this village. A flock at Starly, Pidgeys, and Butterfree went passed him, and he began to see water and seeds sprinkle down at their wings, probably indicating where all of the flowers and plants are coming from. He already fell in love with this village, but when he looked around, he saw a Bayleef, who's plants in her garden began to die out. Buizel went up to the plant, and looked at it.

"What's wrong with it?" Buizel asked.

"None of the Pokemon have sprinked this plant with water yet. This plant is my favorite and most worked on so far..." Bayleef said, depressed.

"Hmm...hold on." Buizel said, with a idea brewing up. He put his head up, and began to use Water Gun, which sprinkled down water at the plant, making it come back alive. Bayleef stood amazed.

"Wow! Thank you." Bayleef said excited.

"It's no problem." Buizel said, stretching his arms. Suddenly, the Bayleef began to cuddle with the Buizel. Buizel was surprised, and began to blush. "Uhh...what are you doing?"

"Oh uh...nothing." Bayleef murmured, embarrassed on what she did.

"Uh yeah..." Buizel said. "Hey look, I got to catch up to my friends."

"Oh...well, okay."

"Uh-huh.

"Going right now..." As Buizel began to walk off. 'What was that all about?' he thought.

Meanwhile, Umbreon and Espeon began to look around the shops, and saw many accessories. Umbreon got intrested due to most of the things being made of plants, and many flowers on sale, which he knows Espeon likes. Espeon loved flowers since they were kids, and shes always been collecting them since. She later lost the hobby of collecting them after her mom threw them out, and eventually gave up, but still looking at them. Espeon bought many more supplies, and antidotes just in case they get poisoned. Umbreon then noticed a Leaf Stone.

"Hey, what's this?" Umbreon asked the Beautifly at the counter.

"That would be the famous Leaf Stone here. It can evolve many different pokemon here, and make them stronger." Explained the Beautifly.

"Will it work on me?"

"Of course not, you're already evolved, silly."

"Ah."

"In fact, these don't even work on Eevees, so you lucked out."

"Meh, I guess so." Umbreon began to look around the rest of the store. Espeon began to think about Umbreon alot now, knowing she probably loves him, but she never wants to admits anything. She usually keeps her thoughts to herself, and no one else. Espeon, finally done with her shopping, told Umbreon and both decided to get out and meet up with Buizel now. However, once they got out, suddenly, the two Roselias got out and took Espeon!

"Espeon!" Umbreon yelled out.

"Ah! Let me go!" Espeon screaming at the Roselias, which wouldn't let her go, even if she began to resist.

"Crap..." Umbreon said, as he began to chase them, which led out of the village. The Roselias began running around town, jumping off into buildings and out again. Umbreon followed them as close as he can, and saw them up on a rooftop. He jumped up to the rooftop, and they began scaling throughout the rooftops. Buizel, looking around, saw the shadows of them, and wondered what was that. Umbreon still chased them, and then eventually, they got out of the village, and into a more frisky part of the surroundings. They got into a dark themed forest, and soon, Umbreon was lost. Espeon, still screaming, and Umbreon began to trail where Espeon was. Once he got there, he saw Espeon in a cage, and on a side of some shrine of some sort.

"Espeon!" Umbreon went up to the cage, and tried to get her out.

"Umbreon, look out!" Espeon warned him, and he turned around. Suddenly, a figure kicked Umbreon out of the way, and away from the cage. Umbreon recovered, and began getting into his fighting position. Umbreon looked up to see a dancer of some sort, with a white rose on her head. It turned out to be a Roserade.

"Are you the leader of those Roselias who were attacking us?!" Umbreon yelled out.

"Indeed, and now that you taken down my men, you have to fight me now, if you care about the girl." As she began to laugh evily.

"Let her go!" Umbreon said, as he began to use Quick Attack on Roserade. Roserade got hit, and began to use Poison Jab. Umbreon dodged it, and began to use Iron Tail, which hit Roserade to the ground. Umbreon then began to run up to her again, and use Quick Attack. Roserade quickly got up and grabbed Umbreon's tail, and threw him away from her, and used Magical Leaf. The hit caused a puff of smoke, and Umbreon fell to the ground, wounded. Umbreon eyes began to glow red, and then something began to happen. He suddenly stomped into the ground, and a dark trail began going towards Roserade, which hit her and made her flew into the cage, which broke it. Umbreon went up to her and used Iron Tail, and made Roserade very weak now. Umbreon began to deliver the final blow, with his eyes still red. He began to summon Shadow Claw, and grabbed the Roserade.

"Please! Stop! I give up!" Roserade plead.

"Death is too good for you..." His voice sounded way different than before. He sounded like something was possessing him, but he still had a great amound of power. Suddenly, his yellow rings began to turn blue, and the shadow claw began squeezing Roserade.

"Umbreon, stop!" Espeon cried out, seeing that Umbreon was about to kill Roserade. Umbreon heard her voice, and stopped suddenly, releasing Roserade, as she fell into the ground. Umbreon's eyes went back to normal, and he began shaking his head.

"What...happened?" Umbreon said, looking around. Espeon stood confused, wondering what happened to him. Umbreon went to the cage and let go of Espeon, where Espeon hugged him.
"Thank you..." Espeon said, blushing though she didn't really care.

"Uhh..." Umbreon began blushing himself. Espeon let go of him and began blushing. "We better head back."

"Yeah." Espeon agreed. Both began to exit out of the forest they were in, and left Roserade behind, still injured, and murmuring the words "I'll be back..." .

Once they had returned, they began to go to the hospital, where Phoenix was. Buizel and Phoenix saw them coming in.
"Finally, now let's get out of here." Buizel said.

"Not right now, I have to go to the village elder to get the stone here!" Phoenix yelled.

"Oh yeah...dang." Buizel said, worried.

"What's with you?" Espeon asked.

"Nothing." Buizel said, trying to keep his cool. The four began to go outside and into the village elders home, where the elder, Venasaur, waited.

"Finally, you arrived." Venasaur said. "Come with me." As he began going inside the house, and Phoenix following. Buizel looked around nervously.

"What is it?" Umbreon asked.

"Nothing..." Buizel said.

"Yay! I found you!" the Bayleef said, as he began cuddling with Buizel again.

"Oh nonono, not this again!" Buizel yelled out as he began blushing.

"Heh, who's this?" Espeon asked.

"A Bayleef who keeps chasing me." Buizel said."I guess she likes me or something."

"Eh..." Umbreon said.

"Yeah, I'd love to talk more but...I gotta go!" Buizel began fleeing somewhere.

"Hey, come back!" the Bayleef said, chasing him.

"Heh." Umbreon said, but he began thinking about what happened back there. He remembered fighting, but he never remembered defeating her. Does this have to do something with the dream he keeps on having?

CHAPTER 5

Chapter 5

The group decided to sleep in at the inn here, due to the rumor that the Rough Balance, the pathway to the Dojun village, is a dangerous place to go through at night. The inn manager made them sleep for a discount, due to Phoenix's mark of the hero. Many people were now happy that someone is going to save their world, and since he is, they might as well help him all the way. Umbreon looked out the window, looking at the moon. He began to think he saw a dark figure again near the moon once more. The moon was above the forest shadows, covering it with brightness. Umbreon that this was a beautiful sight to see, and gazed on it more. He looked over at Espeon, who was fast asleep, and began to think about what was her question. 'She did seem shy when she was asking it...' he thought, but forgot about it over time. He began to grow tired, and soon, fell asleep. He slept peacefully, nothing in the way, and nothing would disturb him. Umbreon suddenly began to squirm, he was having the same dream.

Umbreon stood back in the castle, looking around. His ears began to twitch. The music that was heard in the forest began to play, and he knew where it was coming from. Umbreon went to the room where the mysterious figure was playing the piano, and went into his position.

"Who are you?!" Umbreon yelled out.

"Again, you already know who I am..." the figure said to him.

"Lies! I never met your kind or any of the liking!" His eyes began to glow red, and a pot began to float. The pot flew right into the figure, and the pot broke right near him.

"Hmph...agressive, aren't we?" The figure stood up and began to float.

"Tell me who you are! Where am i?! Where's Espeon?!" Umbreon yelled out once more.

"Do you know who YOU are? Do you know YOUR place?" the figure slyly said to him.

"I am myself! And I stand here!" Umbreon yelled out as he stomped his foot and a pulse of darkness came from his feet and began to make a wave towards the figure. The figure jumped up, and dodged the pulse.

"So you learned of what you are..."

"Yeah, and?!" Umbreon began to use quick attack to go faster, and run towards him.

The figure began to shoot ice beams at him, and Umbreon began to dodge them one by one. He jumped up, and bit him in the neck. The figure grabbed him and tried to pull him off, but Umbreon held his grip. The figure decided to use Psychic, and force Umbreon to stop biting him. He threw Umbreon to the wall, and Umbreon landed on it, and jumped up. He began jumping on the sky, leaving dark circles that reflected and hit him with his head. The figure recovered and began using Sludge Bomb, and hit Umbreon. Umbreon was stuck in the sludge, and began to move around agreesively.'Dang it...' he thought. The figure began to charge up Thunder, and Umbreon was a dead target. Umbreon's eyes glew red once more, and he jumped up in rage,putting a psychic shield around him, and blew up the sludge around him, with the remains going towards the figure, hitting him down. The thunder went 5 feet near Umbreon, and he flew back from the recoil. The figure jumped up and used Aerial Ace, and hit him, making Umbreon fall down again. Umbreon countered with a Dark Pulse, and knocked him away, making the figure hit the door, which was total darkness. Umbreon looked into it, and a claw began to grab him. Umbreon began feeling pain, and tried to get out of the claw. The figure came out, with the claw coming out of his right hand.

"You might have grown stronger, but never underestimate me..." The figure began to crush Umbreon, as he begins to scream in pain. He let go, and Umbreon fell to the ground, unable to move once more. The figure retaliated his claw, and turned around. "You're still weak." As he began walking into the darkness.

'I'm not weak...' Umbreon thought, as he tried keeping his eyes open, but then later, fainted.

He woke up again, seeing it was day time. The sun was up, and the plants were shining. The light reflecting from the plants were blinding, but only to see that it was only another Sunny Day. Umbreon turned around, and noticed the group was gone. 'Where is everyone...' Umbreon thought as he began going downstairs. Espeon was waiting in the entrance, with Buizel and Phoenix missing.

"Finally, you're awake!" Espeon said happily, "Did you have a good night sleep?"

"I had better..." Umbreon responded, "Where's Phoenix and Buizel?"

"Phoenix went out to talk to the village elder. Dunno about Buizel though.."

"He's probably still being chased by that Bayleef." Umbreon snickered. "You ever see a girl that crazy for a guy?" Espeon began to giggle.

"Yea, it's kinda cute really." Espeon said, with a smirk on her face. "Hey, while we're here, wanna check out the city a bit more?"

"Nah, we can't stall anymore. We have to get moving." Umbreon said with a serious tone.

"Oh. Well then...let's go to the elder's house and wait for Phoenix." Espeon said. They both began to get out of the inn, and move towards the elder's house. Umbreon felt water from the tip of his nose and looked up. He saw Beautiflies and Butterfrees carrying their water again, and refreshing the plants. Suddenly, a huge splash sound was heard, and Umbreon's ears twitched.

"Someone's in trouble." Umbreon said, running towards the fountain.

"Hey, wait up!" Espeon said, following.

They get there, and they see Buizel, fighting some giant plant Pokemon, shooting vine whips at him. Buizel jumps back into the fountain, and jumps off the top. He puts his hand in a chop position and began charging power. He hit him with full force, which let the beast yell out. "Carnevine!" Buizel used Aqua Jet, and hit him, knowing it wouldn't hit him that hard. Suddenly, Buizel looked behind him, and gets hit by Razor Leaf.

"Buizel!" the Bayleef said, going towards him.

"What are you doing here, I told you to run!" Buizel yelled.

"You're hurt, I can't leave you!" Bayleef said to him.

"It's not saf-" Suddenly, Bayleef began to scream, because they were about to be hit by a vine whip. Suddenly, a black figure hit the vine whip out of the way with a quick speed. Buizel looked up, and saw red gleams of light go past swiftly. 'Umbreon...' Umbreon landed, and slid on the ground, going for a halt.

"I dunno what trouble you got in, but you got alot of explaining to do." Umbreon turned his head to Buizel.

"Heh, I'll explain later." Buizel said charmingly, "Right now, we deal with this thing."

"You rest, I can handle him." As he growled at the Carnevine, and dashed towards it. He jumped up on it and used bite, in which Carnevine yelled out its name once again. Carnevine jumped up, and used Magical Leaf. Umbreon used quick attack trying its best effort to dodge the leaves, but they still hit him. Umbreon gets knocked back, and recovers. His eyes glow red, and he stomped his foot. A stream of darkness went forward, and swollowed up Carnevine. Carnevine begins to look around, seeing total darkness, when suddenly, dark figures of himself hit him, and he flies back to the fountain, faint.

"Hmph, easy." Umbreon said, as he went back.

"Whoa...what did you do to him?" Buizel gawed at, seeing the damage that Umbreon did to Carnevine.

"A new ability I picked up. Dunno what, but it works fine." Umbreon explained.

"Looks like that thing you did yesterday..." Espeon remembered. Umbreon tilted his head, knowing not what Espeon is talking about. He ignores it and focuses his attention to Buizel.

"So why was that thing after you?"

"It wasn't after me, it was after her." Buizel said pointing at the Bayleef. "She was being chased for who knows..."

"Probably it was just the Carnevine." Umbreon suggested.

"Or maybe it's something else," Esepon began to wonder. "Remember that Roserade?"

"Good point...somethings up, but we can't deal with it now." Umbreon said.

"Yeah...where's Phoenix?" Espeon asked, looking around.

"Hey guys!" Phoenix yelled out, running towards him. "Look what I got!" Showing them the stone.

"Only 5 more to go, right?" Buizel asked. Phoenix nodded his head.

"Yep, and our next route is the Rough Balance, going towards the Fire Village."

"Heh, this will be easy for me." Buizel said cockily. "Let's go."

"Right." Umbreon said.

"I'm ready." Espeon said.

"Okay, let's go!" Phoenix said, walking towards the exit of the grass village, with Umbreon and Espeon following.

"Well, best I be going off." Buizel said, but only to be stopped by the Bayleef.

"Wait, what about me?" Bayleef said. "Can't I come?"

"It's dangerous right now, Bayleef. With fire I'm sure you'll have alot of stress." Buizel explained.

"Who cares?! You can't just abandon me!"

"I'll be back one day."

"...You promise?" Bayleef asked. Buizel just responded with a thumbs up and a wink.

"Count on it." Buizel said, as he began to catch up to them. "Wait up, guys!"

Umbreon and Espeon began to look at the path, while Phoenix was still walking. Buizel began to run up towards them. The path was covered in many rocks, which were hot due to lava flowing through the cracks. Probably the city was protected this way, or the city is surrounded by lava.

"Hey guys, I'm here!"

"What took you so long?" Umbreon asked.

"It's that Bayleef again, anyway, what's wrong?" Buizel asked.

"The path is pretty dangerous, though Phoenix isn't listening." Umbreon said.

"Yea, it's too hot." Espeon explained.

"So why not use Rain Dance?" Buizel said. Suddenly, Phoenix began running back, blowing on his feet.

"Dang, it is hot!" Phoenix said.

"We told you." Umbreon said, while Espeon began to giggle. "So what's this 'Rain Dance'?"

"It's a move known by me, it summons rain." Buizel said. "With the rain it is sure to cool down the path and our surroundings."

"That seems cool!" Phoenix said, shaking down his paws. "Use it!"

"Gladly." Buizel said, stepping onto the path. Buizel began to dance, while Espeon began to watch. She loved how it looked, it was beautiful to see for the first time. She looked up, and saw a cloud. The cloud began to sprinkle, and a drip hit Phoenix's nose.

"Wow..." Phoenix said, shaking off the water, while Espeon began to cover herself not to get Phoenix's wet fur on her.

"Well? Let's go." Buizel said, walking more into the path. Umbreon and Espeon began to follow, with Phoenix running up to the front. Phoenix saw many cracks on the ground, with red on them. It was probably lava, but since Rain Dance kept down the path from going arubt, he doesn't have to worry. Umbreon turned his head to Espeon.

"Isn't this good to you?" Umbreon said.

"Not really, I'm a Psychic Pokemon, not a fire type. I may do Sunny Day, and like the sun, but I hate fire types." Espeon explained.

"...All of them?"

"Eh, I guess." Espeon said slightly, as she began to walk more faster, with Umbreon catching up. Umbreon's ears began to twitch, knowing that trouble is brewing up. Umbreon began to hear some cracks.
"You hear that?" Umbreon asked.

"Nope." Phoenix said.

"Nah." Buizel responded.

"Didn't hear anything." Espeon said. Umbreon ears began to twitch again, and looks at the ground.

"This cliff is about to break, we got to hurry!" Umbreon said, but it was too late, the cliff already collaspes. Espeon jumped for Umbreon, both hanging out at the same rock.

"What are we gonna do?! It's heading towards the lava!" Phoenix yelled, scared. Umbreon began to look, there was a couple of rocks falling down as well, and he saw a cave.

"To there! Jump on the rocks!" Umbreon yelled out, as he began jumping up on the rocks towards the cave.

"Hey, this looks fun already." Espeon said, following Umbreon. Phoenix and Buizel looked at eachother, and nodded. Buizel began to jump up, with Phoenix following. Umbreon got up first, dodging a couple rocks from hitting him off track. Espeon jumped up, and didn't reach the ledge. Umbreon went up and grabbed her, and pulled her up, making her reach safety.

"That was close..." Espeon faintly said, and looked up at Umbreon. "Thanks." she said, smiling.

"No problem, Espeon." Umbreon dully said, as he waited for the others. Buizel got up, and Phoenix got up, though he had a little trouble getting up too.

"Man, I can't wait to do that again!" Phoenix said excited.

"There isn't a next time." Umbreon interrupted. "We got to get to that village, and the cave is right here I bet."

"You think?"

"I'm sure, but then again, my senses never got me wrong. Let's go through this cave."

"Right." Phoenix began to go down the cave, with everyone else following. They didn't need Rain Dance for this cave, because it wasn't really hot. It felt like cool rock for once, and there was no bumpy road either. They made it, but was then in overheat, because the fire village was indeed, surrounded by lava. The city seemed to be made out of rock, and there was no sign of plants anywhere. The group went off to see what was inside the village.

"I want to get out here." Espeon told the group.

"We can't go until we get that stone, remember?" Phoenix explained.

"Oh yeah, forgot about that. Heh."

"We can still look around as we wait." Umbreon said. "Go, Phoenix."

"Right." Phoenix went off to see the village elder, while Buizel looked around.

"Guess I better stay here. Don't want to disturb anyone with my water-type attacks." Buizel said, as he went into a hotel. Umbreon and Espeon looked around, and Espeon began to look at a stone.

"Hey, that must be the fire stone!" Espeon blurted out.

"Yea, I guess." Umbreon said. "What is it?"

"It's a stone that evolves fire types, and also turns Eevees into Flareons." Espeon explained.

"Ah."

"So, you're intrested in something, or what?" A voice said. Umbreon looked up to see in a stand a Vulpix.

"Nah we're just looking." Umbreon said.

"Then get away, you're scaring the customers!" The Vulpix rudely said.

"What customers?"

"My shop is most famous for selling many artifacts. I sell many types of stones. Fire Stones, Water Stones, Leaf Stones, I'm just a collector. I also know many Pokemon anyway." The Vulpix said cockily.

"That's cool, you should join our group." Umbreon said.

"Hah, what group? All I see is you two."

"We're traveling with the legendary hero that was chosen." Espeon told her.

"Wait, what?!" Vulpix gawked. "You're traveling with that hero?"

"Yep."

"Hmm...well, I dunno...you two don't sound very convincing. Where is he?"

"He's with the village elder right now."

"My dad, Ninetails?"

"He's your dad?"

"Of course!" Vulpix yelled out. "No other Vulpix in this village is as known well as I am. He traveled me beyond this village when I was littler."

"Hmm...know what happens whenever a hero comes in?"

"Nope, first time I actually saw the hero come in here." While Espeon and Vulpix began speaking more, Umbreon's ears began to twitch. The earth below them began to rumble.

"What's that?!" Espeon yelled out.

"Oh no, it's him..." Vulpix said, scared.

"Who?" Suddenly, a huge flying dragon busted out from the rock above them. The rubble began to land on the village, but not close to the elder's house. Phoenix looked outside, and looked at it. "What is that?!" Buizel jumped out of the inn before it got crushed and ran towards Phoenix. "You're okay?"

"Yep, though I dunno what that thing is." Buizel told him.

Vulpix got out of her store, and looked up. "Dang it, not Aerodactyl again!" Vulpix remembered the last time whenever Aerodactyl came into the village. "You have to help me defeat this guy."
Umbreon nodded, and did Espeon. "Of course, though we have to get to Phoenix." Umbreon said. "Follow me, quickly!" Umbreon said, running towards the elder's house. Vulpix ran behind him, while Espeon slowly catched up. Buizel ran to Umbreon, pointing at the Aerodactyl.

"What is that thing?!" Buizel yelled out.

"Aerodactyl, the dragon type pokemon. He used to be a fossil, but now he's back alive for some reason." Vulpix said.

"And you are...?"

"I'm a Vulpix, though I don't think I need to tell my name in front of a Water-Type." Vulpix rudely said.

"What you say?!" Buizel said.

"We can't deal with this now, we have to take care of this dragon!" Phoenix yelled out interrupting the two before they can fight.

"Right." Buizel said.

"So, you're the hero, right?" Vulpix said.

"Yep." Phoenix said, getting into his battle pose. Vulpix noticed the gleam in his eyes, the passion for battling, for she also had the same thing. Umbreons eyes began to glow red, and Espeon began to get in her battle stance too. Buizel looked up, and went into battle stance too. The Aerodactyl began to look down, and saw Phoenix. He let out a huge screech, and began to glow with red aura. He went down fast. Vulpix looked up, and tried to reconqunize the move.

"Look out, he's using Giga Impact!" Vulpix said, jumping out of the way. Phoenix jumped out of the way, while Buizel followed with him. Umbreon and Espeon were left on the spot, and Espeon used Protect, protecting Umbreon and herself. Umbreon got out, and began to use Shadow Claw. The Shadow Claw wasn't powerful enough to hit him, and left Aerodactyl with a cut. Vulpix jumped up, and used Fire Punch, which sent Aerodactyl flying towards the wall. Phoenix began to use Shadow Ball, and Buizel began to use water gun, which both mixed together to make a powerfall water ball hitting Aerodactyl head on. Aerodactyl went back up, and used a Sonic Booming Wing Attack, which sent the group back into many buildings. Umbreon got up, and began to use Dark Pulse on hit, which covered Aerodactyl, but he broke out of it. Vulpix looked at it, and began to use Flamethrower, which burnt the Aerodactyl. Buizel jumped up on one of the buildings, and used Aqua Jet to get up high, and landed with a Brick Break. Aerodactyl got hit down, but then looked at Phoenix once again. He began to use flamethrower, but Espeon went to him and used Protect. The fire went around the barrier, but it spread out which causes sparks to go around. This didn't hit anything really, due to the city being made out of rock. Vulpix went up to it. "It's too strong!"

"I know, we can't take out this beast alone." Umbreon decided.

"So what do we do?" Buizel said. Suddenly, the elder came out, with two of his guards, which were Charizard, and a Salamance. The elder was a grown Ninetails, who had psychic abilities along with fire. The elder began using Psychic, and held Aerodactyl in one place. Meanwhile, Charizard flew up and used Flamethrower, while Salamance began to use Blast Burn, the most powerful fire attack. The Blast Burn put Aerodactyl out of his misory, and fell down to the ground. Aerodactyl fell back in the lava, where it rested forever more. Vulpix began to look at his dad.

"Dad!" Vulpix said, running up to him.

"Are you okay, Aurora?" Ninetails said. Aurora nodded at him. "You four, thanks for helping."

"It's no problem." Phoenix said. "She's a good fighter!"

"Yeah, and she has alot of knowledge about Pokemon." Espeon said.

"Eh..." Aurora said, looking away.

"You should come with us." Umbreon offered.

"Well...I dunno... It would be cool to hang out with the legendary hero but...well..."

"What?"

"I can't leave my village. I have too much here."

"I'll take care of it." Ninetails said. "Your stones will not be stolen, or none of your collectables. Go with them."

"Really?"

"Of course, have fun while you're doing this. You'll be a hero like he will, and the legacy i've been through will pass on to you." Aurora went and hugged Ninetails.

"Thank you..."

"No problem, now get ready."

They get out of the fire village, with a huge good bye session for Aurora. They get to the end of the path, and see a cave at the end.

"What's this cave?" Umbreon asked Aurora.

"That would be the path to the underground caverns. That is where your next stone might be." Aurora said to them.

"That's great!" Phoenix excitedly yelled out. "Let's go!" They began to walk into the cave, unaware of any of the dangers inside.

Chapter 6!

Seven Stones of Nature

Chapter 6

Phoenix began to look in the cave, and began to stare at the cold, cold darkness. He began to shiver, and his knees became weak. Chills went down his spine, and he felt like he was about to faint. Umbreon and the others began to walk inside the cave, with Umbreon's sight; he could still see the cave, even in darkness. Espeon was able to see also, but not as good as Umbreon, and Aurora and Buizel for the matter, couldn't see at all. Phoenix still stood there, scared and wouldn't move at all.
"Phoenix! Come on, we have to get the Underground Village!" Umbreon told him, as he began to wait for him.
"I don't want to! Too dark!" Phoenix blurted out, and he began to lie on his stomach.
"Please don't tell me..." Aurora sighed, but looked up. "Look, there's a torch here. I just need to light it." She said, as her mouth began to glow with an aura. She spat out a piece of fire, and it hit a piece of wood, in which it became engulfed. Aurora jumped up, and grabbed the stick with her mouth. The light began to illuminate around the cave, and she looked up. She saw an arrow point towards the underground village. "Follow me." She muffled out, as she began to walk to the pathway. Umbreon and Espeon went on, and Buizel stood with Phoenix.
"Come on, let's go!" Buizel said, as he grabbed Phoenix.
"No! Let me go!" Phoenix yelled out, as he began to struggle. "You can't do this to me! I won't let you!" Of course, sometimes Phoenix's yells are more powerful that his bite, in which he just walked in with Phoenix in his hands, from his tail going up to his head going down. Aurora began to walk, and Umbreon and Espeon followed, with Buizel catching up slowly. Umbreon began to look around the caves, and saw paintings.
"What are these paintings?" Umbreon asked, as he began to look at one. He saw a painting of two spheres, both with landscape on this, but one with a different color to it. Instead of blue, it was red around it.
"These were all cave paintings from old times, there are many mysteries connected to it. Some say it can be the outcome of the hero, and sometimes, the deport of the hero. Of course, I don't know what it is about, since I was never interested in that stuff." Aurora explained. Espeon looked to her right, and saw a painting of a hedgehog with a garden on its back. It just stood there, motionless looking towards the other side of the wall, which had another garden to it. Buizel caught up to Aurora, and went to talk to her.
"Do you know what ONE means?" Buizel asked, as curiosity began to strike his mind.
"Well…" Aurora thought, "There is one I'm looking at to get a better understanding of a Pokémon that has never been discovered yet. I want to get that one, so I can finish my Pokémon journal, where it shows information for all of the Pokémon we should know about."
"Ah…what does it say about me?" Buizel asked, smiling.
"Let's see…" Aurora said, as she got out her book. "Buizel, the Water Type Pokémon. This buoy weasel has two tails, in which it can be used as a propeller to swim across large areas of water. As an infant, Buizel develop floatation sacs on its neck, and fins on its arm to support swimming. The average Buizels are rather cocky, and can sometimes be flattering too. Buizels always love a good challenge, so it always tries to pick a fight on other Pokémon, or Pokémon that mess with another person."
"Hmm…sounds accurate." Buizel said, as he began to think.
"Yep, I did a lot of studying just to get it on Buizel. " Aurora said, as she began to look around.
Umbreon stopped, and looked at a painting, while Espeon went past him. Umbreon looked at the painting, and his eyes expanded. He saw a dark figure with red coming out of his chest and a white aura from his head. "It looks just like the mysterious figure in his dream, though who is he?" Umbreon thought, as he began to shake his head. "Why is he even after me?" he thought to himself again.
"Hey Umbreon." Aurora said, close to him. "I wondered something…what was that move you did whenever you were fighting that Aerodactyl? It seemed like a very familiar move." Aurora asked.
"I don't know, it just felt like a pulse of darkness." Umbreon said.
"Pulse…Dark…Dark Pulse?!" Aurora said, worried, "But you can't possibly learn that move yet! What was that other move?"
"I think Shadow Claw…"
"Shadow Claw! That's almost banned from most Pokémon except for dark types…unless…"
"Unless what?"
"Did you happen to look at the moon and see it turn orange?" She asked.
"I don't think so…Why?"
"That is the Water Moon." As she pointed at a picture of a moon, "The Water Moon has a spirit in it, no one knows why, but if you look at it, you began to feel strange, as if something is being inside you." Aurora explained, "It also makes them learn moves early, like you."
"I don't know…"
"It might be possible, but for now we don't know." She said, "Also hurry up! We need to get to that village!" She said. Suddenly, the earth began to shiver below them, and Umbreon loss balance.
"What's that?"
"Dang, it's an earthquake!" Aurora yelled out, "Quick, we need to get to that village!" She said as she began running towards the direction. Buizel began to run, and dropped Phoenix.
"Hey, wait for me!" Phoenix yelled out, as he began to run. Umbreon got up and shook out the dirt, and began running. Suddenly, she hears a scream from in front of her. Espeon got her leg stuck in a rock, leaving her defenseless for another rock!
"Umbreon! Help!" She yelled out, as she began to push the rock off.
"Espeon!" He said, as he began to push the rock off of her. "This rock is too heavy…"
"Just leave me, I'll be fine!" Espeon yelled out in desperation.
"No! I'll never leave you behind, we're best friends! Best friends! Never leave, even at the break of death! " Umbreon said, as he began to push harder. Espeon looked at him, and she began to blush. He pushed the rock out of her, and tried to lift her up.
"Can you walk?" Umbreon asked.
"No, my leg might've got fractured..."
"I'll help you." Umbreon said, but suddenly, his ears began to twitch. Umbreon got worried, and looked at Espeon. "Look out!" As he pushed Espeon out of the way. Espeon flew back to a wall, and the floor began to crack. The floor collapsed under Umbreon's feet, and he began to fell.
"No! Umbreon!" Espeon yelled out, as she looked down the hole. "No…" Espeon said softly, as tears began to come down her eyes.
At the bottom, Umbreon was on the ground, unconscious. He hit safe land, but he had a hard fall, making him immobile. A tear from Espeon fell on Umbreon's face, and soon, more came. Umbreon woke up, and saw a tear came down for his nose. He couldn't move, and he was injured a lot. He looked at the right, and saw red eyes.
"Who's there?!" Umbreon yelled out, as he stared at the darkness. Umbreon's ears began to twitch, and he looked the other direction. He began to close his eyes, and began to visualize the moon. He suddenly began to feel a burst of power, and which he was able to get up. He felt as light as a feather, and shook his head. Umbreon looked over at the darkness, and stared intensely, and dangerously. He began to walk towards the darkness, and soon, his ears twitched. A person screamed from behind him, and he turned around. Umbreon jumped out of the way before he got hit from a claw. He looked at his face, and saw a cut.
"What the…" Umbreon said.
"Who are you?!" The person yelled out, as he began to charge towards Umbreon with his claws. Umbreon jumped over him so his claws couldn't get him.
"What are you doing? I didn't do anything to you! Calm down!" Umbreon yelled out.
"I don't trust anyone here, for all I know, you could be with those Sevipers!"
"Sevipers? What's that?" Umbreon said.
"A person who doesn't know about a Seviper? …Then you don't know what I am, right?" the figure asked.
"No, but I think you're crazy, considering you're trying to kill me!" Umbreon said at him.
"Sorry about that mate…" He said guilty, "What are you doing here?"
"I fell down from the upper floor, where are we?"
"We're on the bottom floor." The person said, "I never knew how to get out of here…" he said.
"How did you survive down here?" Umbreon asked, as he got closer.
"I had supplies, but now they're gone…" He said.
"Ah…Wait! I got an idea!" Umbreon suggested, "The Underground Village is close to here! We can get there!"
"Really?" He said, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" He said excitedly.
"First…"
"Oh yeah, my apologies. I'm a Zangoose that walks around at night. Most of my friends call me Zanny, though I hate that name."
"Zangoose? Has a nice tone to it."
"Indeed." Zangoose agreed, "I also love fighting. I always challenge a challenger…"
"Cool. I'm Umbreon, I go with the legendary hero."
"Legendary hero?" Zangoose said confused.
"You'll see soon enough." Umbreon said, as he began to walk towards the direction of the village. "Follow me."
"Right." Zangoose said, as he began to run towards him.

"Where's Umbreon?" Phoenix asked Espeon, getting worried. Espeon stood silent, and looked away.
"Oh no…" Aurora said sadly.
"You think he's…" Buizel suggested.
"Don't say that in front of her!" Aurora said, as she got angry.
"It's okay…but I can't believe it…he's gone." Espeon said, as she looked back, "trying to save me, not knowing that I love him…" She began to cry again. "I'm going to go somewhere to rest…my heart aches." Espeon said gloomy, as she began to walk towards the inn.
"What should we do?" Buizel asked.
"Well…I don't know. Should we look for him?" Aurora said to Phoenix.
"I don't know…I know Umbreon can't be gone that easily." Phoenix said, "He always took the heavy hits, ya' know?" Phoenix explained, "But also, we have to get the stones, even if he is gone."
"Right…life goes on." Buizel said, and Aurora nodded. "You think Espeon will get over this?"
"Of course not…" Aurora said, "If one of my closet friends died, I'd never get over that."
"Yeah, and I'd never get over it either." Phoenix said, "And ya know, she does LOVE him."
"True…" Buizel sighed, and he looked around. "There's the temple, we got to talk to the head boss."
"Right." Phoenix said, as he began to run over there. Buizel began to walk over there, and saw that Aurora didn't move.
"Hey, aren't you going?" Buizel asked.
"Nah, I'm going to look around this place, it has been a long time, you know." Aurora said, as she began to walk towards another direction. Buizel shrugged, and went towards the temple with Phoenix. Espeon stood in the inn, on the bed, looking outside the window.
"Why did you have to die for me?" Espeon said, as she looked up. "Even the sun can't get through these ruins…If only I could've done something different, we both could've survived, or I could've saved you." She began to think back when they were both Eevees.

"Come on! We're almost there!" The young girl said, as he began to run up more to the mountain.
"Hold on! I can't run that fast, you know!" A guy Eevee said who is carrying most of her stuff. He began to get closer up the hill, and the girl Eevee stood at the top of the mountains. Soon, he got up, and lied down.
"You okay?" the girl who would become the Espeon asked him as he looked at him.
"Yeah…" the pre-evolved Umbreon said, as he sat up.
"So what do you plan to be when you evolve?" she said to him.
"I don't know yet…maybe a Jolteon, just like my grandpa!" he said, "He always used to tell me about stories about how Jolteons served in the war against the psychic types that went against electric types!"
"Heh, that probably fits you anyway." The girl said, as he looked up at the sun. "I want to become an Espeon! I think they're pretty!" She said, as she looked up at the sun. "I think I'm happy enough." She said, "At least, I do."
"That would fit you I guess." He said, as he looked out from the cliff. "Sometime I wonder what is outside of the village." He said, "My grandpa used to go to the Electrica Port, and I have no idea what that is." He said.
"Hey, maybe one day, we could go outside the village!" She said happily.
"Yeah! We two make a good team! No one can stop us!" He said.
"Besides, no one can hurt you, you're too cool to hit." She said.
"And you're too pretty for someone to hurt you, and if they do, I'll be there!" He said, "Best friends forever! Never leave anyone, even if near the break of death!" He said.
"Yeah!" She said, as she began to open up a can of soda.
"…There was soda in there?" He said, getting gloomy.
"Yeah, you should really become nosy sometime." As she giggled.
"Shut up…" As he began to cry.

"Back then, we both agreed that we would never leave each other's side, and we'd go out on an adventure outside of the village. I even remember when he evolved." Espeon said, as she began to lie down on the bed.

Espeon finally became evolved, yet, her best friend still couldn't evolve. She always caught him training outside, struggling to evolve.
"Hey." Espeon said, looking at her best friend.
"Hey Espeon…I still can't evolve!" He said, "I'm not strong enough, I can't even get a thunder stone!" He said, looking down. "But I bet if I train hard enough, I can become one without one!" he said.
"You always seem to be working hard, do you?" Espeon said, smiling. "Well, good luck then."
"Right." He said, as he began to practice more.
'Soon, he began to practice at night, and something happened.'
"I can do this…" The Eevee said, as he began to run towards a rock. He tackled it, and it broke on impact. "This is too easy now…" He said, as he looked up. Suddenly, his ears twitched. He looked behind him, only to see a pack on Houndooms.
"Hah hah, what do we have here?" The leader of the pack said, as they began to surround him.
"Seems like a small fry, boss." As one of them began walking around him. The Eevee began to look at them, and got worried.
"Aww, where's your daddy? Are you gonna cry?" One of them said sympathically, but then later cracking up. "No kid, no one is gonna save you now."
"Get away from me!" He said, as he began getting into a battle stance.
"Oh, so this little squirt thinks he can defeat us?" The boss said, "Show them who's boss, boys!" The Houndooms began to go towards the Eevee, and he smirked. He used a quick attack, in which he disappeared from the air and a shiny light came from the air. It came up, and hit one of the Houndooms in the head. The Houndoom fell, with its consciousness gone.
"What the?!" The Houndoom said, as he stepped back.
"Don't step back! Get him!" The Houndoom leader said, but it wouldn't move. "Dang, you are useless! Guess I have to handle this squirt…" The leader began to go fast, and use head butt, which knocked the Eevee towards a rock. It broke, and he fell to its back. He got up, only to see the leader coming towards him with a Zen Headbutt! It hit him, and he flew more into the air. He began to felt faint, and he landed with a hard force. The Eevee got up, with a scratch on him.
"Hmph, so much for tough! You're gonna die right here, kid!" As he began to step hardly on the floor, which sent a pulse coming towards him. The Eevee tried stepping back, and he ran towards the Moon's direction. He looked at it, and he heard the voice of someone. 'Step into the darkness…' The Eevee shook his head, and realized he had stopped. The pulse came towards his feet, and it began to suck him up.
"Ahh! Help!" As he began to scream in pain. He began to cry, and suddenly, his eyes became blink. His body became engulfed from the darkness, and it faded into the ground.
"What the?" The Houndoom leader said, as he looked around. "Where did he go?!" Suddenly, a shadow came from in front of him. "…The heck?" Suddenly, a figure came up as a dark Eevee arose, and sent back the dark pulse towards him. The Houndoom flew back, and before he knew it, he was on the ground. The Eevee shook his head, and his eyes began to become red.
"What's happening?" He said, as he tried to shake it off. His fur began to become black, and he began to grow bigger. His tail changed shape, and so did his ears. A stripe went on his ears, and tail. Soon, a circle of red came on his head, which soon turned yellow. He opened his eyes, and saw the moon.
"What did I become…" He thought. Suddenly, Espeon came out and looked at him.
"Espeon? Espeon!" Umbreon said, as he ran towards him.
"You evolved?" Espeon said, smiling.
"I think so…but what am I?" He asked, confused.
"I think an Umbreon…" She guessed.
"An Umbreon…"

"Soon, he was picked on for being the only Umbreon. He always stood inside his home, thinking his thought away, and being isolated from anyone…except for me. He always looked at the moon from that point, and he never fell asleep except for the mornings…" Espeon said, looking outside the windows. He looked outside, and saw Buizel.
"Espeon! Espeon! Get out here, quick!" Buizel yelled up from the bottom floor.
"What's wrong?" Espeon said, as he began to go downstairs.
"So where are you from?" Phoenix asked Zangoose.
"I lived under a cave near here…" Zangoose said, "I never knew how to get out of it though…"
"No wonder why, you should bring a flashlight." Aurora said.
"Hey!" Zangoose said to her, "How could I?! I fell from a bridge!"
"Well, tell me! How did you get through here without one? You probably can't even see!"
"Shut up!" He said, sticking his claws in front of Aurora.
"Ha, bet you can't even get close to me with that, Mr. Grumpy." Aurora said.
"Oh I'll show you!"
"Hey, hey!" Umbreon said, trying to get them apart. "We don't need to start a fight!"
"She's asking for one!" Zangoose yelled out.
"Hmm…say, Zangoose? Do you want to join my group?" Phoenix asked.
"Join? Why?" Zangoose asked back.
"We're trying to get the seven stones, to get rid of the evil in this world."
"That's actually real?!" Zangoose said, surprised.
"Yeah, So far we got 4 so far…"
"Sure…you don't have any physical attackers anyway, I'm a useful one." Zangoose said, raising its claws. Umbreon looked around.
"So anything I miss?" Umbreon asked.
"Nope…" Phoenix said.
"Well…" Aurora said, "What about Espeon?"
"Oh yeah! Where is she?" Umbreon asked.
"She's at the Inn." Phoenix said, "We'll lead you there. Come on, guys!" As he began to run over to the inn. Zangoose and Aurora stared at each other with a hating stare, and looked away from each other, and ran to him.
"Those two aren't gonna get along well." Umbreon said, as he began following Phoenix.
"You won't believe who came back!" Buizel said to Espeon.
"Umbreon?!" Espeon yelled out, "Where is he?"
"Phoenix is with him, I think they should be coming." Buizel said. Umbreon began to see the Inn, and the rest of the group. And in the front? Espeon.
"Espeon!" Umbreon yelled out.
"Oh my god…Umbreon!" She cried out, as she ran up to him. Espeon ran faster, and jumped on Umbreon with joy. "I thought you were gone forever!" As she began to cry happily.
"I'm fine, believe me…" Umbreon said to her, "I wouldn't die because of that."
"Uhh umm… Right." As Espeon got off of him, blushing.
"Hey, why are you red?" Umbreon asked her.
"Nothing…" Espeon said, as she began to smile at her, and she began to cry happily. Umbreon began to rub his head in embarrassment, thinking he did something wrong.
"You know…that Espeon sure is cute." Zangoose said, looking at Espeon. Soon, Phoenix, Aurora, and Buizel began to look at each other.
"Something is gonna happen…" Phoenix said, in doubt.
"Yep…" Aurora said.
"I hope they don't brawl it out." Buizel said.
"You guys better not be talking about me." Zangoose said, looking at them.
"We're not!" They all said at the same time.
"…Though actually, you are kind of smelly. Take a bath!" Aurora said to him.
"I don't smell that bad!" Zangoose said.
"Yeah you do! If you been in a cave for weeks, then you smell bad!"
"And this isn't gonna end well either…" Phoenix said to Buizel.
"Yep. Five members already, fourth stone already, and there are already arguments." Buizel agreed.
"Hey, guys! Stop goofing off! It's almost night time, we need to get rest." Phoenix yelled out, and Umbreon and Espeon came back. Aurora and Zangoose stopped fighting, and paid attention.
"Okay let's see…we'll wake up tomorrow. First thing, we're heading out of this village." Phoenix told them. They all nodded their heads, and then they headed towards the Inn.
Espeon and Aurora were in a spa, which Aurora was not in the water.
"Come on! This won't hurt you!" Espeon said to Aurora.
"Oh shut up! Water, BAD!" Aurora yelled at her.
"That's only water attacks. Besides, it's relaxing." Espeon said to her, as she began to sink deeper in.
"…Whatever." Aurora said, as she began to get in. "At least you know Umbreon is still alive though right?"
"Yep…that made me so happy to see him." Espeon told Aurora.
"So when are you going to tell him?"
"Tell him what?"
"You like him, of course."
"I dunno, I'm not good at this stuff."
"And? Do it anyway?"
"You don't know how it feels." Espeon said bashfully.
"Meh, I can care less." Aurora said doubly. "But seriously, it's better if you get some lines ready. He probably likes you too."
"Eh, I doubt it…He always has the same tone with me…"
"That how he always is! You have to get him at the right time, maybe!" Aurora advised.
"Hmm…maybe you're right…I'll try to get some lines soon!"
"I'll make sure I'm there." Aurora said, as she began to snicker.
Meanwhile, Phoenix, Zangoose, and Buizel were in a swimming pool. Phoenix was on a floater, considering he can't really swim that well, so he just sits around on his chair.
"Hey, where's Umbreon?" Phoenix said, as he began drinking his juice.
"I think he's in the room. He really needs to get out more." Buizel said.
"I know, though he is kind of different sometimes." Zangoose said, "He seems more different if he's alone."
"Yep." Phoenix said, "Well, at least Espeon and Umbreon got back together."
"Wait, what?!" Zangoose said to Phoenix, "You mean, the both of them are going out?!"
"Well, not yet…" Buizel said, "What's the problem?"
"Yeah! I like the Espeon, unlike the Umbreon…"
"Well you're out of luck, because the Espeon likes the Umbreon."
"Dang, good point…I guess I have to do something."
"Nah, you'll find someone else eventually, besides, I'm not even gonna go look! I mean, I'd rather stay single." Phoenix said, "I'm too young!"
"Heh, yeah. And most of the ladies like me, though that Bayleef back in the grass village is crazy for me…" As he began to shiver.
"So, which village are we going to next?" Phoenix asked.
"I dunno, I think there's a port around here." Zangoose said, "It leads to an electric city, and a flying city."
"Sweet! Maybe that's where the next two are!" Phoenix said, as he got out of the pool. "Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and fall asleep. Good night, guys."
"See ya, dude. "As Buizel began to get out himself. "Well, that's enough swimming for today. I might as well hit the hay myself. Good luck on that stuff, Zangoose." As he began to go upstairs to his room, which was shared with Aurora and Phoenix. Zangoose thought for a while, and then got out. He went to see if the girls were coming out yet, and Espeon just happened to go through.
"You will be mine…" Zangoose said, as he began to go upstairs to his room. Umbreon was looking out of the window, in which Zangoose came in and jumped on his bed.
"Well, I'm ready for adventure tomorrow!" Zangoose said, as she began to fall asleep. "Good night…"
Soon, Espeon came in, and looked at Umbreon.
"Hey, Umbreon…" Espeon said.
"What is it, Espeon?" Umbreon responded. Espeon stood silent, as she began to stare at him.
"Uhh…I want to tell you something."
"Okay, go."
"I…well…umm…I uhh…I almost got worried because of you!" Espeon yelled out.
"What?" Umbreon said.
"You almost made me thought you were dead!"
"Well sorry, it's not my fault…"
"Yeah, right!" Umbreon just stood silent, looking guilty. Espeon began to look away, and then turned back.
"Uhh…sorry…that came out right." Espeon said to him.
"It's okay…"
"…Good night, I guess." As she smiled at him. He smiled back, and nodded.
"Good night." As he began to lie down. Espeon looked at Umbreon, and soon became lost in thought. 'When am I ever going to tell him…' Espeon thought.
