(Arwen's POV)

The skitty that I approached spun around. At least he was friendly, I thought as I saw him flick his tail and smile when he saw me. "I’m Tikish." "Nice to meet you." I told him. "It’s nice to have someone to talk to who can rank up to me. None of them ever could." he said as he jerked his head at a group of pokemon i the distance. I was puzzled, because i didnt' really understand what he was trying to say, but before i could ask about it Amy called me over. "Why don't you come with me?" I asked him and he nodded, as we made our way over to Amy. "I see you've made a friend." Amy said before continuing on. "I was wondering if you had thought about evolving any at all?" I was stunned, but not speechless. I thought about my next words carefully. "Once or twice. Mainly when i lost a battle." Amy nodded. "I understand if you don't want to right away, but i wanted to talk to you since you're old enough now to know what you want for yourself. I just wanted to let you know that i have a moon stone for you whenever you feel that you're ready." I nodded when i saw the stone. It was pretty, but I took a deep breath before looking up at Amy. I need to think about this first." I told her and she nodded. "Take as long as you need." i nodded and walked off with Tikish. For a few minutes, we were both silent. Then I turned to him. "What do you think i should do? I'm just curious. I need to decide for myself, but i'd like others input."

I smiled as Lani and I trotted back intot he Eevee House. We had won a battle and i was pleased. I had asked Amy about evolving and she told me once I reached level ten. Tiana was trotting beside me. "That was a good battle." "Thanks." I said smiling at my sister. I thought she had gotten over her annoyance of me wanting to learn to swim, but then she had to let it slip. So how's the water, Sinker?" That was pushing it too far. I turned around and glared at her. "You know i'm getting better. I think you're just jealous because i'm making progress and you're not." I said before storming off to the pool.

I knew i had made a mistake when i let that slip about Zale being a sinker. It was something i had thoguht up when i saw him practiing when i should have been... what was that word... meditation. It was true i was having a hard time, and Zale was doing better than i was. I shrugged, and made my way back up to where i had been practicing lately. I closed my eyes and started to breath slowly, but all i could hear were Zale's words echoing about me being jealous and i started to cry.

I sighed before diving under the water. It had been hard, these past few months, but i still didn't want to ive up hope that she'd be back.
