Club: Eevee House (MA) Vs. 26

[Cheesey]

My POV

This was really amazing - Such a rarity of a pokemon was coming to be in my hands. Well, sort of. I didn't hold Maria since she could fly. But still, I was practically shaking after seeing the conversation between Connor and Maria taking place. I knew that we'd all talk to each other in the future but it was still weird, and still a little hard to take in. I also took a look over at Dante; he was such a lucky pokemon to have such a good trainer looking over him.

Then I realised that Maria was now part of my team. I felt so honoured! I gave her a hug because I felt like it was the most appropriate thing to do, but I wasn't sure whether it'd be the same story with Connor. So I shook his hand. "Thanks so much. I'll be sure to take great care of Maria, and I'll be sure to keep her in contact with you. Also, I'm sure she'll fit into the team well - She's already bonded with two of my pokemon."

[Pidgeot]

Connors POV

The situation had gotten awkward, fast. I felt sad, but in a good way - comparable to when a member of a household goes off to university: You are sad that they are leaving but are happy that they can now experience independance and develop a respect for others. After shaking Chris' hand, I slowly walked back towards Dante. Behind me, I could hear Maria laughing and meeting the members of her new team. "She'll have a great time." I thought to myself.

Dante was now in the water, gently floating and swishing his tail around. He looked like he was contemplating something. "You did the right thing, Connor. You've earned my respect." He spoke. Shocked, I looked at him. "I didnt realise you were so intelligent."
"Theres alot of things you dont know about me Connor, and Im sure you'll find out about them all in good time. Now, we need to focus on the notice that was posted on that board." The Poliwag casually glanced over to a board, on the other side of the lake.

Ai, the female Skitty’s POV:

Thanks to the little accident, now we were all wet! Well, I wasn’t until Dakota came up and got me all soaked, too. It felt refreshing, though, and I playfully nudged him. He shook himself hard and his fur stood out all over the place! I couldn’t help but laugh, even though I tried not to.

“You are so beautiful,” he said to me suddenly. I looked tenderly into his eyes. “How are you?”

I didn’t know how to respond in words, so I nuzzled Dakota gently and leaned against his shoulder. His fur was so soft… “I’m doing fine,” I said. Want to go for a walk?”

[Cheesey]

My POV

I had been so caught in receiving Maria that I had completely forgotten about the fact that I'd originally been heading out to the Free Range Coral. I glanced at Imarad who was looking rather frustrated again, so I wandered over to her and gently stroked her head. She jumped as I had startled her, but I told her that I was getting ready to go, so she wasn't too bothered.

I got up and started walking out of the premises of the Eevee House. Quartz and Maria flew along at my left and right respectively, and Hera and Imarad wandered along underneath each of them. I was hoping that this would be a good chance for Imarad to get to know Maria and to talk to Quartz and Hera a bit too, as she still wasn't interacting with her teammates very well. As we passed Connor, I waved to him as I said that I was going to deal with some Smeargle who I'd seen on the news.

Maria smiled at Connor too. I knew it must've been hard to leave her trainer, but I assured her that she'd see him regularly. However, now was the time for her to experience a little journey with some of her new teammates. I hope she'd like it.

[Wolfsong]

(Dakota’s POV)

In response to my question, Ai nuzzled me. I returned her nuzzle as she answered my question. “I’m doing fine. Want to go for a walk?” I nodded. “That would be nice.” I said as Aiko noticed that Kumar was lying nearby. She ran over and jumped on to him causing him to wake up with a start. He looked around wildly then upon realizing who it was relaxed. “If you want, I’ll keep an eye on her.” Kumar offered. I looked over at Ai and she nodded. The two of us headed out into the night. With the stars shining brightly, it was a peaceful atmosphere. It felt like the right moment, so I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Dakota? Is everything all right?” I looked over at Ai and nodded my head. “Things couldn’t be better. I… I…” “What is it Dakota?” she asked. “Well, I have feelings for you, Ai. I’m really sorry that I haven’t been around as much as I needed to be, but I promise that that will change.” By now I was blushing big time, and not even my fur could hide it. Ai smiled, and nuzzled me again. “I’m so glad to hear so you say that, because I feel the same way about you. Also, I have a little something to tell you. We’re going to be parents again.” “You don’t know how relieved that... Huh?” I shook my head to make sure that I wasn’t hearing things? “Really?” I asked. She nodded. “Do you want go back now or stay here? I imagine the Amy should have the egg now?” “Okay. Do you think it’ll be a girl or boy?” I asked. I was looking forward to meeting my child. “I don’t know,” she admitted, as we made our way back inside the Eevee House. Sure enough, Amy was looking around for us and she had a wobbling little pink egg in her arms. When we spotted her, she came over and placed the egg between the two of us. The baby must have been ready to hatch because as soon as the egg was placed on the ground, cracks began to form as we heard scratching coming from inside the egg. We all held our breath as Aiko came running over. “What’s that? What’s that?” “Aiko, darling, that is going to be your new brother or sister when it hatches.” Ai explained. “Yay, I’m getting a brother or sister. I’m getting a brother or sister.” She exclaimed dancing around as the egg continued to get more cracks. “Wait, where do little brothers or sisters come from?” I sweat dropped. “You’ll understand when you get older.” I explained. Aiko looked like she was going to say something but luckily the eggshell completely fell away at that time. It revealed a baby skitty that upon closer inspection was a boy. “Isn’t he a handsome little fellow, just like his father.” Ai said as she walked over and nuzzled my new son. He opened his eyes and blinked before he looked around dazed. “What are you going to name him?” Amy and Ai asked at the same time. “Er, how about Koda?” I suggested. To tell you the truth, it was the first name that popped into my head, which may be in part because Aiko had been watching Brother Bear lately.

(Tiana’s POV)

I had to use calm mind again after Beaky’s appearance, but soon I was focused again. However, I had almost forgotten what I was supposed to be doing, but luckily I remembered. I was supposed to be meditating for twenty minutes. I took a deep breath, and began to concentrate. As I became more and more focused, the distractions became less and less. To my surprise, I was aware of when Ruki emerged from his pokeball, but then I used calm mind and I was completely focused again.

(Willow’s POV)

I stormed over to the punching bags, and began smacking them as hard as I could with my vines. I should have known better than to trust Amy. That one battle had been a fluke, and Ruki had to faint on me so that whole battle was ridiculous. At this rate, I’ll never win any battles and not evolve. I was so angry and intent on attacking the bags that I didn’t hear anyone approaching until they said something.

(Colby’s POV)

Tiny and I had been chasing each other playing a game of tag. After a while, we got tired and stopped panting. As we were watching I noticed a charmander that was running around mimicking all the pokemon around here. One by one they slowly left and soon we were the only ones sitting there. She saw us and froze. She came over. “Are you two twins?” she asked and it was my turn to be shocked. My jaw dropped to the floor. How could she have known? I mean, Tiny was smaller than me and other eevees in general, but then again that’s how he got his name. It was Tiny that found his voice. “Yeah we are. How did you know?” he asked and I just nodded.

[classy_cat18]

Beaky's POV

Wherever you are, Ruki, you're better at hiding than before. I landed and started to walk. My walking took me to a windowless room. It kinda scared me. I turned to walk away when a sudden glow caught my eye. An eerie blue glow. "AAH!" I screamed as I shot out of there.

Cinder's POV

"Okay, Casey. Let's take five," I told her.

"Five? Five what?"

"It means take a break." I stumbled away and to the house for something to drink. I drank straight from the faucet and went out to look around. I've been here for so long and yet know so little Pokemon.

I stopped and watched some Chikorita pound the stuffing out of some punching bag like he was ticked off at it. He didn't even notice me until I spoke up. "What's your problem?" I asked him.

[Linc]

.:Archangel:.

I fluttered around, looking for something interesting to do. "This place is soooooo boring!!! There's nothing to do- ow!!!" I shouted and tumbled to the ground. I shot my to look sideways, and saw Beaky lying on the ground, looking frightened.

"Well, that's the scond time we bumped into each other... literally. Well buddy, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost! Oh, hmm... a weird blue glow huh? That's not that creepy!" I said and kicked him slightly, using my Hidden Power to read his mind.

He got up and looked at me. "Hey! Did you ever think it's weird having someone inside your head?!" He said. "Come on! We're friends, lighten up! Why don't I come with you, tough guy, and see what made the glow?" I said, adding a little sarcasm.

[Knight of Time]

Vector's POV

An obviously unfamiliar face introduced himself to me not long after Kyle let me out of my Pokeball. Recognizing the Pokemon in front of me as a Murkrow, he told me his name, which turned out to be Latino.

"Hello Latino, my name's Vector. Nice to meet you." I said with the best smile I could make.

"Nice to meet you too, Vector." Latino replied back to me.

Now that I had my first ever friend, I started to feel a little bit happier, and I asked Latino if he had any fellow feathered friends he could possibly introduce to me...

[Wolfsong]

I can ref the first category of races but it will have to wait till the week after next. I have finals next week.

(Ruki's POV)

I held my breath when Beaky entered the room where i was hiding. He had started to walk off without seeing me, when something scared him and he took off screaming. I looked around and realized that my rings were glowing and i blushed and they began glowing even brighter. X.x I backed up into a corner and frowneed. Hopefully when Beaky calmed down and realized what happened he wouldn't me mad at me. I couldn't help it, i hadn't learned to control my glowing rings yet.

(Willow's POV)

"What's your problem?" they asked. I stopped and looked at whoever it was that had spoken and it was a quilava. "Nothing and everthing." i muttered as i smacked the punching bag with another vine whip. Originally i didn't want to be captured, and yet i was. I guess it was okay that i got captured in that i get the opportunity to evolve quicker but don't let my trainer here that. At this rate however, when i'm so close to evolving i get paired in battles where i can't use my good moves and i end up losing. I guess the few battles that i won in the bt were just flukes. Especially the last one when Ruki fainted leaving me to take on two opponents..." I growled in anger as i flung a razor leaf into the bag. I was tired now, so i turned away from the bags. "By the way, my name's Willow."

[classy_cat18]

Beaky's POV

I slowly crept back into the room where I saw the glow, Archangel in tow. "I don't need your help, you know," I growled at her.

"But what if it's a big, scary ghost? Ooh, look at me! I'm going to steal your soul!" she joked, and laughed.

I hung my head in shame. I wasn't that scared. It's just that I haven't seen that eerie glow since the last time Kawaii attacked with her psychic powers. I thought I was being attacked! I walked around the chair and found Ruki in the corner. "Ruki? You made that glow?" I asked him.

He looked at me with sad eyes. "Yeah. Please don't be mad."

"Of course I'm not mad! I'm just glad it's you."

Cinder's POV

"My name's Cinder," I told Willow. "Don't let those battles get to you. It may take you a while, but you'll evolve soon. My advice is, choose your opponents wisely."

[Skye]

Trying again. ^_^U

Darkfire’s POV

I went into the EH, looking around, excited. In my backpack were many bundles, Pokemon Eggs. They all looked about ready to hatch, so I had come into the House to introduce these Eggs. I had brought along a few Pokemon that had wanted to come along. Kalil my AC Growlithe, Cassius my CC Ninetails, and Nuka my CC Houndoom were among those that had decided to join me. The others had wanted to stay home. Rayne for being anti-social, Amaris for having a headache, Naois for looking after Amaris, and Hinto and Kana for wanting to train alone together.

I carefully set up some pillows for the eggs. There were four all together. One was larger than the rest, my Pontya Egg. It was white with flames over it. The next were all of the same size, all Eevee Eggs. The first was pure gray in color. The next was pure black. The third was a shimmering silver color with a purple glow to it. I let Kalil and Cassius out first so they could take everything in.

Kalil’s POV

It was a nice place. I looked around, smells of all kinds flooding my nose. But I was more interested in the Eggs. Darkfire had said that they would be hatching sometime soon. It was exciting, but I was also a bit nervous. The biggest Egg contained a Ponyta, whose mane and tail were made up of fire. I was nervous around fire. I looked at the Ninetails and smiled to him. I had met him back at home. His name was Cassius and he was really nice. He was teaching me a game that involved stones...

Suddenly one of the Eggs, the Ponyta Egg, started glowing softly. The shell broke into fragments that shattered, falling away. The glowing soon stopped, and a newly born filly was lying on the pillow. Darkfire had told me about her dam, a beautiful mare with a black coat and an oddly colored mane. Unfortunately, her coloring was plain. But when she opened her eyes, they were shining with intelligence and spirit.

Darkfire smiled at her gently. “Alana.” She named her before reaching out and petting her. I was suddenly very nervous. What if Darkfire got hurt? Burned? What if the filly couldn’t control her fire? But Cassius gave me a calming glance. I slowly relaxed, knowing that Cassius would help if something happened. The filly, Alana, nickered softly as Darkfire stroked her nose gently. Her hand traveled over the filly’s body, making sure there was nothing wrong that needed immediate attention. But there was nothing wrong. She was a dainty filly with a good build. She had perfect structure in every part of her body. She soon curled up and fell asleep under Darkfire’s pets. I didn’t blame her. Darkfire had a way of making you tired when she pet you.

Cassius’ POV

I smiled slightly. Little Alana was now asleep. Darkfire wasn’t at all disappointed in her new filly. Even if she didn’t have rare colors, she was still a fine young Ponyta. Another Egg began to glow. It was the gray Eevee Egg. Kalil, being curious, wanted to get a closer look at the Egg as it’s occupant came out into the world. The Egg shattered, and a baby Eevee sat on the cushion. He had a curiously gray mane and tail, but I decided Darkfire had been breeding for coloring. He was certainly a handsome little Eevee.

Kalil smiled warmly to the infant, who squeed slightly back and crawled to Kalil. Darkfire and I exchanged first startled them amused glances at the Eevee kit curled up at Kalil’s paws and fell asleep.

“Well, considering his father is a Growlithe... I guess you are like his father to him, Kalil.” Darkfire chuckled.

“Um... I can’t move.” Kalil said, looking nervously at the sleeping baby.

“I’ll move him if you get on the pillow right after.” I said, a trick in mind. Kalil nodded readily. I used Teleport on the Eevee, making him vanish for a moment. Kalil laid down on the empty cushion and looked around for the Eevee, whom I had reappear across Kalil’s outstretched forepaws. Kalil sighed.

“That’s SO much better...” He muttered, but looked fondly down at the little Eevee.

"Kai. It's Kalil without the L's." Darkfire decided, winking at Kalil.

The black Eevee Egg began to glow, and soon, another Eevee was born into the Adopted Pokemon area of the world. His fur was pure black. He looked around with bright eyes, but Darkfire picked him up and was holding him before he could try to imprint anyone else. I knew it was because I had to have my attention focus on her Houndoom, Nuka, when she let him out. I wouldn’t be worried over protecting an Eevee kit if Nuka did something that meant I had to keep him in check.

Darkfire’s POV

Everything was set up. “Ayende.” I spoke to the black Eevee who was falling asleep. He mewed softly and closed his eyes. I pulled out a Master Ball and released Nuka, my purple-glowing Houndoom. His eyes looked clearer than they had before I set him up with Tiana in the breeding center. I wonder what she did to him. He looked at the newborns, to Kalil, Cassius, and then to me. His eyes finally rested on the remaining Egg. He slowly moved closer to it. The other Pokemon awake and myself were on edge, wanting to know what this Pokemon would do. He could easily harm the fragile life within the Egg with one swipe of his paw, or a bite from his powerful jaws.

He sniffed the egg slowly, and issued a slight whine of uncertainty. He seemed to recognize what this Egg meant. But the question was, did it mean enough to him that he would relax? He closes his eyes for a moment before lying down next to the pillow. He rested his head on his fore paws, watching the Egg. I slowly relaxed. But the Egg wasn’t hatching.

Maybe... The child inside was waiting for its mother to be there. I moved closer to Alana and stroked both her and Ayende while they slept. Cassius was still watching Nuka, wary. He had been born and raised in the South Caverns, near where Nuka had haunted in his past days. The horrible tales he had heard kept him wary of the creature before him. Maybe it was good that someone was nearby that was paying his full attention to Nuka. I was looking around for Amy and Tiana, however. I doubted this Egg would hatch without its mother around. And if my hunch proved to be correct, I wanted Amy, Tiana’a trainer, to be around when the first shiny-glowing Eevee ever was born.

[Wolfsong]

(Amy's POV)

"Tiana!" I called, gasping for air. "Slow down. If i pass out we definately won't make it in time." Tiana, slowed to a stop and glared at me. "Uh, oh." I managed to get out before I was being pushed forward by an unseen force. Tiana certainly could get her way when she set her mind to it. We finally made it to the eevee house and Tiana darted over to where her egg was. When i got there, I struggled to catch my breath before i said my hi's.

(Jovi's POV)

My mind was playing tricks on me that was what it was. I sat there for a while waiting for someone to approach when no one was there. Once i was calm, i decided to head back to the Eevee House. Lani was waiting outside the front door for me with a huge smile on her face. "Guess what bro?" she said excitedly. "What is it Lani?" "Mom's back and she's on the team again." At the mention that, I froze. "Isn't it great?" "I guess so." I said, as i started to walk off. "Where are you going?" "I'm gonna try and find Kawaii." I said and walked away slowly.

[Skye]

Darkfire’s POV

I laughed at Amy being dragged around by her Pokemon. I returned her gasped ‘hi’ with my own greetings and continued to pet the newborn Pokemon. Nuka looked up at Tiana. She was watching their Egg intently. The second everything had calmed down, the Egg began to glow, starting everything back up again. The purple glow vanished when the Egg took on the glowing that the other Eggs had. Soon, the third Eevee of the night had been hatched. She opened her eyes and looked around. Everyone gasped at the sight of her shimmering coat. She was a shiny Eevee alright. And she had Nuka’s purple glow.

Nuka looked even more uncertain, but a softness had entered his eyes that I had never seen before. Tiana inspected the newborn Eevee while Nuka watched. He was still uncertain about both mother and daughter, but I knew he would be able to sort it all out.

I smiled and said the first name that came to mind. “Kali.”

[Linc]

.:Linc:.

I pulled an Ultra Ball from my belt and dropped it to the ground, and it quickly opened. It revealed Rebirth, my new Shelgon, who stood silently as he overlooked his area. "Well, how do you like living tamed?" I said and sat down next to him.
"Fine." He said. "Is there anywhere to practice fighting?" he said and looked up at me. I nodded.
"Over there is a Training Ground. There are targets and stuff, so you should be good." I said and pointed.

He trudged off, walking slowly and sighing every once in a while. There was something on his mind, I could tell.

.:Rebirth:.

My mind was all blurry. Faint remnants of memories of my family still were in my mind, but everything else was lost. I couldn't let anyone know that I hardly had any knowledge of my wild life. For some reason, most of my life seemed to be swept away, gone.

The only thing I could remember in full detail was my evolution to a Shelgon. I was young, and I had walked into the River and got pulled down the length of it by the tide. I struggled, moving my legs quickly, but my short arms and legs of a Bagon were too small to push me forwards. I remember getting pulled under, feeling water getting blown around my body. I bounced off of rocks, but I still tried to keep swimming. I suddenly felt a burning pain in my side, and found I couldn't swim any longer. I looked down at my arms and legs and found myself glowing. The pain got greater and greater, and it suddenly faded. My eyes were closed from the unbearable pain, but mow I opened them. I was on the side of the River, and I found when I began to walk, I couldn't go as fast as I used to be able to. When I reached the riverbank, I looke dinto the water and found myself a Shelgon. I screamed and pounded the water with my newly adapted forelegs and sat down, and fell asleep.

I suddenly stopped. I looked ahead, and found myself at the training ground Linc told me of. I saw Baito sink his fangs into a log and watched as dark energy enveloped it and it crumbled. "Hello." I said. He looked back and nodded. I placed my feet firmly on the ground and looked at a target. I unleashed a Hydro Pump at a target, which was soon covered in water and was bent backwards.

Looking towards another, I ran and jumped at it, pounding into it with my Headbutt, and chuckled. "I think I'll like it as a tamed Pokemon," I said and launched a Flamethrower at a different target.

[classy_cat18]

Kawaii's POV

I opened my eyes after what seemed like an eternity of sleep. Yeah, I started out with Calm Mind. But all those peaceful sounds can really relax you. I turned my head to see that Shonta wasn't there. In her place stood a relaxed Bulbasaur. "Where did you come from?" I asked him.

He looked like he didn't hear me the first time; he just stared into space for a second before blinking a few times. "Oh sorry, I wasn't listening. My name's Dimitri. I'm your new teammate!" He smiled brightly. "You must be Kawaii."

"Yeah, I am." I spotted Jovi walking by and decided to cut this short. "I'll talk to you later, 'k?" I trotted over to Jovi and stopped in front of him. "Hey there. You looked a little distracted."

Khanga's POV

"How dare she capture me like that and leave me here so far away from my family!" I roared as I stormed through the unfamiliar place called the Eevee House, my baby in my pouch. "When I get my hands on her I'm going to strangle her!"

My baby fidgeted around, a sign that he wanted to get out. "I really don't want to let you out among all these strangers, Roo. But if you really want to..." I gently reached in my pouch and pulled out my baby. "Just stay close to Mommy." I set her down on the grass. "Mommy's just needs to burn some energy."

[Wolfsong]

just a short post before i go back to studying for finals

(Jovi's POV)

"Hey there. You looked a little distracted." Kawaii said as she approached. I nodded my head. "Yeah." "Whats up?" "Well, its like this... Our Mom (Lani and mine) is back on the team after she left for over a year without so much as a visit then she comes back and rejoins the team. Lani's glad to have her back but i'm not sure what to think. Sorry i didn't mean to be snappy though its jsut that she could have visitied. I mean Flare visits almost everday... At that my voice drifted off.

(Laila's POV)

I sighed. The few friends that i had made hardly came around anymore. i was just walking around the house trying to stay out of the way when i saw a bulbasaur taht i hadn't noticed here before. I walked over. "Hi..." I began nervously. "My name's Laila.

(Willow's POV)

"My name's Cinder," the quilava told me. "Don't let those battles get to you. It may take you a while, but you'll evolve soon. My advice is, choose your opponents wisely." "I jsut shrugged and proceeded to skull bash the bags. "I ended up winning a battle the other day but i'm guessing that it was pure luck. X.x I guess Amy has to prove that she is a capable trainer before i trust her. At least i only need one more level before i evolve." i said before finally stopping attacking the bag and laid down.

[Linc]

.:Everwing:.

"Hey, Everwing, why don't you try to go find some friends?" Linc said, and looked down at me. I nodded quickly. Linc pushed me forwards a little, and I hopped off of the short stone barrier around the grass. I looked around, and ran off. I wove through some older Pokemon, and ran inside the Eevee House, and kept running, until I bumped into something.

I fell backwards, and opened my eyes. I saw an older Pidgey with a Beautifly, and I quickly stood up. "Sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! What's your name? I'm Everwing!" I said to the older Pidgey. She looked at me as I hopped up and down. "Er... Ryau, and this is Caelest." The Pidgey said.
"Who are your parents?" I said and hopped some more.
"Their name's are Dargonis and Galenia."
"Galenia!?!? My mom's name is Galenia! My dad's is Aeragorn! We must be half sisters!" I said to Ryau. She looked down at me with wide eyes, and the Beautifly gasped.

.tatic:.

"Heh, your awesome Hakan!" I said as the little Vulpix launched a Hidden Power into the air, and I shot a Thunderbolt at it, and it exploded, causing more water to fall down on us. Cara shook herself, causing her fur to get dry again. "I think that's enough guys." She said. I nodded and shook my prickly fur, but Hakan ran around in circles, leaving a trail of water behind. I then put my paw out in front of me, and Hakan slammed into it, and fell backwards, giggling. "How many more days until Christmas?" He said and stood up.
"Only 10, Hakan." Cara said and nuzzled him.
"I'm gonna get a lot of presents from Santa, becasue I've been good!" Hakan said.
"What about the time you broke the window, or when you burnt up the wooden table with Ember, or-" I said, but Hakan blew an Ember into the air, and my ears drooped. Cara picked up Hakan and we dashed away from where we were standing as the Embers fell back to the ground and exploded. "Hmm... Hakan, don't do that, okay?" Cara said. Hakan giggled some more.

[LightNinetales]

-x Light's POV x-

"Oooh, I forgot how big it was." I said, as I entered the Eevee House for the second time in a year."Axolotl, what's the problem?"
She was hiding her head in my arms. "So... impressive."
I understood her. I wish I had somewhere to hide, just like Axolotl. Being in such a big place, with lots of people who seem to be friends and have fun together....
I only recognized Amy and her pokemon - the place was so big though, I could only see five or six trainers clearly.
I realized I was a stranger for everyone in that place. They were all discussing and playing...
I shook my head and looked at Axolotl. "You know, Ax, I'm just like you. They are probably all wondering who is that small girl sitting next to the EH door, with the black Eevee. So... maybe you could go and talk to the pokemon... and if you do so, I promise I'll go and talk to the trainers."
I slowly walked to the center of the EH with Krystal and Enigma, the youngest members of my team.
"Hello, everyone!" I claimed, trying to take a happy voice.

-x Enigma's POV x-

Krys was sitting next to Light, staring at something he was the only one to see, obviously somewhere in another world. Krystal often had this attitude.
His glittering, crystalline eyes had a magical aura, and for the first time I didn't see the darkness coming out of him. I put my hand on his head.
"Krys?"
He turned back.
"Eenaikma?"
"Hmm. Have you felt something strange lately?"
"Well, I had a dream... and the crystulkey... and it was glouwing..."
"You still have pronunciation problems", I noticed.

[*Murkrow]

~Hannah~

I was criss-crossing through the crowd, trying to find out where the hell Xol had vanished to, when a sudden shout grabbed my attention.
"Hello everyone!"
I recognised the trainer- she was the one who owned Si's son. Smiling, I wandered over to say hello.


~Latino~

"Nice to meet you to, Vector."
I grinned and dropped to land next to him, just as he asked if I knew any more flying Pokémon.
"Well..... I know one- a rather hyperactive Taillow, she's alright, as long as you aren't competitive or else she'll drive you mad. But if you want to meet her then I'll be able to find her for you. There are others, of course, but I don't know any...course, we could say hello...um."
I realised I was blabbing and shut up.

~Ryau~

"I have a half-sister?"
I stared in surprise at Everwing, who smiled eagerly back; Caelest squealed and gave me a playful shove.
"Way to go, Ry!"
"What do you mean, 'way to go, Ry'? She didn't do anything."
Rage's irritated voice drew our attention back to him- I hadn't noticed that he'd already got Nuria perching precariously on his back. She looked half excited, half terrified; he looked seriously irritated.
Caelest squeaked and took off in alarm as Rage leered at her. I wasn't used to being apart from her for long, but it would be futile to try to force her to stay around with Rage.
"Oh, right. Everwing, can you fly? If not, doesn't matter- Rage can carry you as well...."
"Hey."
"...but come with us."
I took off, Rage snarled, but allowed Everwing to hop onto his back as well, before he followed me.

~Rage~

I was a bloody babysitter. This was impossible.
Ry was all girly and excited, flying round my head, talking happily to the Charmander and the other Pidgey.
I kicked open the door to the Eevee House, and the four of us quickly rose higher, finally, even Ry fell silent as we watched the landscape unfolding in front of us.
"Wow. So....Everwing....Nuria, how does flying feel like?"

[LightNinetales]

-x Light's POV x-

I noticed another trainer I knew. Hannah, walking in my direction. I took Aurébrillant who was still sleeping in my bag - he hatched a few minutes ago, before I entered the EH, and Golden was still excited about his son's birth. Holding the shiny Chikorita in my arms, and caressing his golden leaf, I smiled.

-x Axolotl's POV x-

I looked at the pokemon, searching a water-type I could talk to. Nothing.
I sat down somewhere and called Lightstorm.

[Linc]

.:Everwing:.

I looked down at the landscape below. Everything was so small up here. I looked at my half-sister, who was flying perfectly. "This is sooooo cool!" I shouted and thought to myself. "I want to try!" I said and moved closer to the edge of Rage's back. "Uh, Everwing, I don't think that is such a good idea..." Ryau said. But I wasn't really listening, and I hopped off. As I fell downwards, I opened my wings, and flapped. I began to lift higher, and was soon next to my sister. I looked over to her and smiled. She sighed with relief, and looked at my wings.

I looked at them, and then hers. "Hey... my wings are longer." I said, confused. I was full grown, so I expected them to be longer than when I was hatched, but they were even longer than my older sister's. I didn't really care, so I continued flying. "Hey sis?"
"Yeah Everwing?"
"Are you good at battling?" I asked, and moved closer to her.
"I guess so, I know a lot of attacks, too."
"Hmm... I want to learn a lot of attacks to! My favorite one right now is this!" I said and opened my beak, and unleashed my Hidden Power: Dragon. The blast of green fire flew downwards, and collided with some grass, burning it. Ryau blinked, and then smiled. "Pretty cool, Everwing. Pretty cool."


.:Linc:.

I was bored. I scratched my head, and looked around. Pokemon were everywhere, but I couldn't really see any of mine. The only one I could see was Volcania, as she was perched on my shoulder. "So, Volcania, what do you want for Christmas?" I asked my Torchic. She pondered for a long period of time, and then spoke. "I want to evolve!" She said and smiled.
"Hmm... that might take longer than between now and Christmas." I said. She sighed.
"Then... can I at least get stronger?" She asked. I nodded.
"I'll find you some battles, and I'll see what we can do."

[Charizard04621]

Nuria, the female Charmander's POV:

I couldn't believe that I was actually flying! I gazed in wonder at the land below, just taking as much of it in as I could. The trees whizzed by quickly, just like my short breaths. The air was cold up here, but I didn't care, because the wind in my face was a wonderful feeling.

"This is great!" I laughed, letting go of Rage's neck and waving my arms in the sky. I wanted to evolve more than ever now.

[classy_cat18]

Kawaii's POV

"Well, that's great! I know your mom hardly visits, but it must've been a good reason why. I bet she's a wonderful Pokemon. I have an idea! Let's go find her!"

Dimitri's POV

What a wonderful place. There seems to be friendly Pokemon everywhere. And the backyard reminds me of home. I sighed happily as I enjoyed the sun on my back. I didn't notice the Larvitar that came over to me until she spoke.

"Hi. My name's Laila," she told me.

I was glad that Laila decided to talk to me. I stood up and gave her a bright smile. "My name's Dimitri. It's nice to meet you."

Cinder's POV

"I don't think it's just luck. Sure, you're going to have losses. But if you're winning some battles, your trainer must be doing something right. She'll surely show it sooner or later. I mean, my trainer made some mistakes when she was first training me. But she made up for it later."

[Linc]

.:Baito:.

"Rayku, what's wrong?" I asked, seeing as Rayku had a worried look on her face. "Oh, I'm just worried what Static will think, of you and I, and if he'll ever fully trust you, seeing as you were part of the group."
"I told you, they captured me, I would have never hurt your family by my own will." I said.
"I know."

I walked over to her and nuzzled her. She smiled. "Should we go tell him?" She asked.
"Sure."

I began to walk, and she followed, looking up at the sparkling stars. She smiled. I looked up also. The moon blazed with white light, surrounded by the stars. Suddenly, I saw Static. Rayku walked up to him, carrying the egg in the air, the one that held my child

"Hey mom, who's egg is this?" Static asked, and when he saw me, he began to look confused. "Wait, you and Baito- that egg is yours?" He asked. Rayku nodded, and placed it on the ground. "You and Baito are together?" He asked, shocked. "It's okay with you, isn't it?" Rayku asked. Static sat there, thinking. He nodded, but suddenly gasped. The egg suddenly cracked, and through it, I could see something metallic shining. It suddenly cracked more, and Rayku pulled it open with her Psychic. I inched closer, and saw my child. I looked at it closely, smiling at it. "A boy." I said.

Static looked at me. "Well, you are together with my mom, you are the father of my brother, so I guess, you are now my dad." Static said. I grinned, and put a paw on Static's head. "Thanks, son." I said. Rayku looked at me. "What are you going to name him?" She said.
"how about... Starbeam." I said, having knowledge of Static's first name. I noticed that the metallic object inside of the shell was my son's tail. He was using Iron Tail. Rayku picked him up with Psychic, and placed him on her back. "I used to hold a child on my back once. I can't explain the joy I have to do it again." She said. Static nodded, and I looked at the sky. Just then, a star flashed across the blackness, shooting through the sky. "In my family, we used to consider a shooting star a blessing." Rayku said.
"Then we have a blessing in more ways than one tonight." I said.

[Knight of Time]

My POV

Things were going very good for me recently. After catching a few Pokemon at the CCCC, I declared it was time for me to evolve one of them. But first, I had another matter I had to tend to. Releasing my Jolteon out of his Pokeball, the two of us walked in, and I carefully carried an egg with some brown parts to it. Moving towards the nearest couch, I sat down, and carefully lowered the egg to the floor. Within a few seconds of it being put down on the ground, I noticed a tiny crack appear on the egg. The crack began to get bigger and bigger, until I saw the Eevee inside poke its head about. Watching him come towards me, I smiled at him, and held the empty Pokeball I had recently received. Watching him jump in for now, I reached into my backpack and took out the Genetic Accelerator Gene I had recently forged for myself. Pulling out a Pokeball from my Pokeball pocket, I opened it up to reveal my captured male Kadabra.

"Oh hello again. What's that you have there?" my Kadabra asked as he pointed his spoon towards the item in my hands.

"This here is a Genetic Accelerator Gene. Ever since I captured Mystic, my old male Abra a long time ago, I had hope that he could have eventually evolved into an Alakazam, but sadly I never had the time to evolve him at all, and now he is just a memory now. However, you can fulfill my dream of having an Alakazam with the Genetic Accelerator Gene. What do you say?" I asked my Kadabra.

"Sure. I'm really sorry about Mystic's fate, but I'll be glad to take his place." my Kadabra said.

"Thank you. Oh, since I never thought of a name for you, I might as well call you Xeno, since I think it may be a good idea for me to come up with names I never used for a Pokemon I have or once had. What do you think?" I asked my Kadadra.

"Hmm, okay, that's fine with me." my Kadabra said.

"Great, Xeno it is. You ready for me to give you the Genetic Accelerator Gene?" I asked Xeno.

"Yeah, go ahead." Xeno replied.

Carefully dropping the Genetic Accelerator Gene on the ground, I watched as Xeno telekinetically brought the evolution tool in front of his face. Within a second or two, I watched in awe as he began to glow white, getting a bit taller in the process and also getting a second spoon. A few seconds later, the evolution process had stopped, and I smiled at my new Alakazam before deciding to see what Vector was up to...

[Wolfsong]

Its late and that’s why I didn’t color code every single conversation. X.x Its probably gone be boring but oh well ^^; Soon as i post this i'm off to get some sleep.

(Amy’s POV)

I slowly made my way to the Eevee House. I was taking my time since I didn’t want my pack to burst. It was packed full with TMs that I had gotten for my captees. I had a couple for two of my adoptees but I was still saving so I could get all of them something.

Once I had made it inside, I paused. I grinned when I recognized Darin. He was one of the two Adoptees that I had something for. I quickly called him over and I gave him the Odor Sleuth TM that I had gotten him a few days ago. I sprinkled the powder over him, before he thanked me and went off to look for his dad. I couldn’t help but notice how his eyes flickered from one eeveelution to another as he walked away. Next on my list of pokemon to find was Sweetie and it didn’t take me long. She was relaxing at the shallow end of the pool. “Hey there, how are you doing?” I asked her as I approached. “A little tired.” she admitted. “That’s understandable.” I replied as I scratched her between her ears. Shonta gave me a TM the other day, and I thought that you could make the best use out o f it. That perked her up. “What is it?” she asked. Smiling, I pulled out the TM box and gave it to her while I answered. “Confusion.” “Thanks.” she replied before laying her head down and going to sleep.

(Dakota’s POV)

I admit it was a nice shock that I was going to be a Dad soon. I looked over at Ai who was smiling over Aiko and Koda. I nuzzled her, before I got a message from Ranec. <Dakota, Amy wants all the captees to meet up with her. She says she has a surprise for all of us but she won’t tell me what it is.> I frowned. “What is it?” Ai asked. I couldn’t hide anything from her, not that I would ever try to. “I just got a message from Ranec. He said that Amy wanted all of the captees to find her. He said that she had a surprise for us.” She nodded. “You three should go then.” I started to protest but decided against it. “I’ll be back with Aiko and Koda as soon as I can.” “All right, I’ll hold you to that.” she said smiling as I picked up Koda gently by the scruff of his neck. Aiko tagged along behind me happily.

(Ranec’s POV)

I turned to look at Amy. “All right, I’ve sent the message to the whole team.” Sure enough as soon as I had said what I said the others began arriving. “What is this all about?” Willow asked, and for once he didn’t look like he was going to vine whip Amy or anything. Ever since he had evolved he has been acting strange, like he was walking around in a daze. “I’ll explain once everyone gets here.” Amy replied even though she looked as if she was eager to tell us all what she had in store. Soon the only ones that we were waiting on were Dakota, Aiko, and Koda. When they finally showed up, Amy cleared her throat. “I’ve been saving up for a while, and I’ve got each of you a little something as a small Christmas present.” Willow looked puzzled, but there was excited chatter among those of us that could talk a couple were still to young to be able too.

The first thing that Amy pulled out of her bag was a Stat Modification Die. She walked over to Angel and gave it to her. Angel giggled then squealed happily as she played with it. The next pokemon that she approached was Mirage. She was in her umbreon form, and it still gave me the creeps when she was in that form. Her present was a Status Die.

Amy then called forth Willow and Zale. As you two know, I still have two SMs left from coming in second place in the Solar Games. I never told you guys what I chose but now I will. Willow, I chose a Cut SM for you. To everyone’s surprise, he told Amy “Thank you. I appreciate this.” Next Amy turned her attention to Zale. For you, I chose the Dive SM. I hope you like it. Zale had a huge grin on his face. He loved it, like he loved anything that had to do with the water. It wasn’t a huge surprise when he chose to evolve into a vaporeon.

I was getting excited myself as Amy pulled out a pair of matching TM boxes. “Ranec, Jovi.” she called out gently. The two of us approached. “I thought long and hard about what to get the two of you, and I finally decided on Façade. I hope that you like them, and that they prove useful sometime.” “I’m sure that they will.” I assured Amy as Jovi grinned from ear to ear. Next she walked over to Dakota, Aiko, and Dakota’s new son. He hadn’t told us his name yet but then again he only just hatched a little while ago. “I bought Water Gun for Aiko and this little guy.” Dakota nodded, before he grinned. “His name is Koda.” “That’s a cute name.” Amy said, as she walked back to her back. The next two TMs went to Kumar and Ruki and they were a pair of Psych Up TMs. Laila got a Rest TM, and the Larvitar was rather pleased. “I know I can’t use it till my battle tower battle is over, but thanks a bunch!” “You’re welcome.” Amy answered chuckling. Lani received a Toxic TM and Tiana got a Skill Swap, though I wasn’t sure exactly how that move worked myself but it sounded interesting. Wildfire got a Snore TM and everybody groaned. “It’s bad enough that she talks in her sleep but now she can snore as well?” Willow asked. He and Wildfire had become good friends after the battle at the fair. Everyone thought that the loss would push them further apart but instead the opposite happened. Wildfire playfully jabbed him in his side. “Well, its better than accidentally tickling someone in their sleep with your head leaf when you’re asleep as well. Dakota looked up at Amy, obviously curios about what she had gotten him. I got you a TM that I hope can and will prove useful for you. It’s the move called Bide.” “It sounds interesting.” he admitted accepting the TM. “Thank you,” he told Amy before he excused himself.

(Dakota’s POV)

That was a nice surprise. I thought as I walked back to where Ai was. That had to have cost a lot, and I knew that Amy had been saving up for a while now. As soon as Aiko spotted her mom she darted forward and pounced on her. “I got Water Gun!” She chirped excitedly, before the inevitable question. Looking up at her mom Aiko asked. “What does it do?” I grinned, as I sent a message to Ai using my hidden power. <Amy had gotten us all a TM.> I blushed as I looked over at Ai.

(Darin’s POV)

I had somehow got separated from Harle during the hustle and bustle that had overtaken the Eevee House. Since I couldn’t see her anywhere, I decided to go look for my Dad. I hadn’t gotten to far, when Amy called me over and gave me a TM. Once she had finished, she told me that I was free to run along I resumed my search for Dad. I soon spotted him. Quietly as I could I snuck up on him, before pouncing on his tail. I wasn’t sure whether or not I had actually snuck up on him, but either way I did catch his tail with my paws. When he looked down at me, I gave him a huge grin.

(Kiara's POV)

I sat perched atop the sofa where i had a good view of who came in and went out of the Eevee House. I was kinda nervous and kinda excited, but I was hoping Gabi and her team would show up around here sometime soon. Although, I have to admit some of the questions that i had been asked during the pokemon spotlight had made me blush.

[The_Missing_Link]

<Blade's POV>

"Not a bad story but mine was a bit harder to get over. There was this Skarmory that I liked; a beautiful, kind one whose name escapes me for some reason. Some thought it odd that a Scyther would like a Skarmory but I didn't care, she was fantastic all the same. Unfortunately, my courage failed me in professing my love to her but I was determined to tell her and decided on Valentine's Day, the day of reaffirming or expressing your love for someone else. It was on that day when my heart was broken forever because before I could tell her, an Aerodactyl got to her before me and the biggest blow was the acceptance of his love. It haunted me for a while, seeing them so happy together. I destroyed many trees the next few months, I was that depressed. Even today, I don't know if I'll be able to love someone else since I never met anyone as wonderful as her."
I gazed down at the Mareep, wondering what was going on in his head.

<Nightshade's POV>

Without me even realizing it, we elasped the twenty minute mark and kept on going for another hour. Opening an eye, I looked at the clock and smiled. Opening the other one, I stretched and got up.
"Get up, Tiana," I yawned. "You did well today."
She opened her eyes and tried to get up, but struggled.
"My legs are stiff," she complained.
"That's because we did this for more than an hour. Take the rest of the day off and we'll continue tomorrow. If you want to practice more, that's fine but don't do anything stupid without supervision.

<Aries's POV>

I felt Darin creep up behind me, but I pretended to pay no heed and continued to keep my eyes closed. After pouncing on my tail and catching it with his paws, I looked back to see him smile widely. Grinning back, I pushed my tail up and knocked him into the air. Only going up a foot or two, he fell down quickly but I stopped him just before he landed and levitated him a couple feet upwards.
"Wanna fly for a while?" I asked him.

<Lyra's POV>

I continued to hold Angel as Zale came back with the kiddie pool.
"Look's dirty," I pointed out. "Let's take it outside and clean it off."
We headed out through the screen door and near the hose, which looked like it hadn't been used lately.
"Start blowing it up while I'll clean it off. I'll try not to hit you in the process."
I put the little Absol down before going over to the hose and turning the handle, letting the water go through. As Zale fumbled with the opening and started to blow, I pressed the handle, making the water fly. Aiming it at the inflatable pool, I started to clean it off while Zale worked on his part. Although promising not to hit him, I "accidentally" sprayed him a few times, getting dirty looks from him.

It took a few minutes before everything could get set up but we finished as fast as we could. All the while, Angel was looking at the other Pokemon playing in the backyard but came when Zale beckoned her to come after we were done.

[Lady Vulpix]

Note: this takes place after the story I haven't posted yet, which is why it's hard for me to make EH posts without messing up the continuity.

[Edit: nevermind, I've already posted the story.]

<Gabi's POV>
I'd been busy... story of my life. But now finally I had the chance to relax for a while and decided to give my team what they'd been asking for a lot lately (especially Caledor): a visit to the Eevee House.

I left Water Angel at the pool so that she could stretch her fins, and Pidgeot, who we had just picked up from the Pokemon Center, went with her. The rest of us left her alone, thinking they had a lot to talk about.


<Caledor's POV>

I hopped over to where Amy and her group were standing, literally shining with joy. This day at the Eevee House had made me wait for it for too long. I ran to Kiara's side as soon as I spotted her.

"Hi!," I greeted her. "Sorry if I made you wait. You know how hard it is to get Gabi out of the house. But I promised I'd be here and here I am."

<Tsunami's POV>

This time around I didn't know where to go. The pool and the couch, my two favorite spots at the Eevee House, were already taken by pokemon who probably didn't want to be disturbed. My friends, on top of it. I stood at the entrance, hoping that someone would notice me and come over... someone other than Lagi, who was already staring at me for some odd reason. I could always start bugging Hero, but I just didn't feel like it at this moment.

[Knight of Time]

Hi everyone. I'm sorry I broke the promise I made on the 24th for you guys to be in for a bigger surprise when my adopted Eevee twins were given to me (in their eggs of course), but I was hoping that I could have had them hatch yesterday as the special surprise. Oh well.

My POV

It has only been hours since the birth of my first adopted Eevee, and the evolution of my captured male Kadabra into an Alakazam. As I briefly left for a few minutes, I made a quick trip to the breeding center, where not one, but two extra eggs were ready to pick up. Clutching them both as carefully as possible, I backtracked to the Eevee House, where my friends still were around. Setting each egg down carefully, I placed one down followed by the other, and within several seconds, I noticed the egg I placed on the floor first recently began to crack open. Knowing that my first Eevee, whom I decided to name Blazer just now, was going to be a brother now, I patiently watched as the crack in the first egg here began to get bigger. Soon, another Eevee popped out of the egg. She was about the same size as Blazer.

"Oh hello. Where's Daddy?" she asked.

"I have him in his Pokeball. I'll let him out right now." I said.

Just before I could take out my Jolteon's Pokeball, I noticed that the other egg I brought in was starting to crack. Watching in awe as the crack grew bigger and bigger, a third Eevee soon appeared from inside.

"Oh, I see your twin brother has hatched. Before I go to give him a name, I thought I'd give you the name of Aqua. What do you think of it?" I asked my female Eevee.

"Aqua? That sounds neat. I'll take it, but what will you name my father and my twin brother?" she asked.

"I'm going to name your brother Nocturne. Does that name sound okay with you?" I asked as I turned to my newer male Eevee.

"Nocturne, eh? Fine, I'll take that name." he replied.

"Okay, Aqua and Nocturne, your names are confirmed. Now, I think it's time I named your father." I declared.

Reaching into my backpack for my Jolteon's Pokeball, I managed to find it, and I released him out of his Pokeball.

"Oh, I see my first three children are already out. What's up?" my Jolteon asked.

"I've made the firm decision on what I'm going to name you. How does Electro sound?" I asked my Jolteon.

"Electro eh? I like it. The name definitely fits me." my Jolteon declared.

"All right, Electro it is." I said with a smile.

Deciding to keep Electro out of his Pokeball for now, I took out Blazer's Pokeball, let him out and watched as he, Aqua and Nocturne stayed close to Electro...

[Wolfsong]

Sorry it wasn't longer but i hav eto go soon x.x

(Kiara's POV)

I smiled when i saw Gabi and her team enter. The smile got even bigger when i saw Caledor. He quickly ran over to where i was. "Hi! Sorry if I made you wait. You know how hard it is to get Gabi out of the house. But I promised I'd be here and here I am." "It's all right." I told him. "I understand. How are you doing?" I asked, wondering privately why i couldnt' think of anything better to say.

(Kovu's POV)

I had been resting in the shadows, since there was a bunch of new people at the house. I didn't mind it so much when there was one or two new people. When there there were more than that i'd get some strange looks, or having them go out of their way to avoid me, but it was the curious youngsters that i didn't mind. Even though their questions consisted of howd i' get the scar and all. It wasn't long till i noticed someone else around, so i emerged from the shadows to see Tsunami. He didn't even jump so i imagined he was used to seeing it. "Hi." I said, as my eyes drifted over to Sweetie.

(Colby's POV)

I was bored and I imagined that Tiny felt the same. One look over at him proved it. I motioned my head towards the door, and Tiny stood up. Soon as we went outside we saw several pokemon practicing on some targets while others just hung around watching. I looked around to see if i could talk someone into playing with us. Tiny followed behing just watching everything that was going on.

Edit:

(Darin's POV)

I laughed, having fun when Dad threw me up in the air with his tail. Before i hit the ground though he stopped me and asked, "Wanna fly for a while?" "Yeah!" I shouted happily.

(Tiana's POV)

"Get up, Tiana. You did well today" I heard Nightshade tell me. I opened my eyes and tried to get up but I could barely move. "My legs are stiff," I complained not sure why until Nightshade explained. "That's because we did this for more than an hour. Take the rest of the day off and we'll continue tomorrow. If you want to practice more, that's fine but don't do anything stupid without supervision." I nodded. "I promise that i won't do anything stupid." I assured him before walking off. Soon as i felt like i can i began running around the house looking until i spotted Kali and Nuka and their trainer. I wasn't ready to try teleporting without someone nearby so i walked over and said hi to their trainer. Then I walked over and sat down by Nuka and gave Kali a nuzzle.

(Zale's POV)

I called Angel over since we had the kiddie pool cleaned up and had put some water in it. Angel came over and looked up at me. "Why don't you try getting in?" She stared at me and thought it over a few minutes before she did. She looked me in the eyes and grinned. "B... Battle?" I gasped. She had said her first word, but it wasn't what i was expecting. I glanced over at Lyra to make sure that i had really heard Angel say that and that i wasn't imagining things.

(Dodger's POV)

I didn't see Gwaihir anywhere around, so i figured that he was out flying. I decided to go out as well seeing as i had been inside the Eevee House for much longer than i liked. I just wasn't much for cooped up spaces. I flew outside and caught a nice thermal that lifted me high into the air. I circled about lazily until i looked down. I didn't see Gwaihir, but i did see Blade so i decided to go off and head towards the mountains in the distance. If i didn't find anything useful along the way, i'd go visit where i had been born.

(Yana's POV)

I decided to go and see if i could find Evenstar. I hadn't talked to her in a while, but this time i wasn't alone. I had Sinopa perched on my back. She refused to be alone, ever since the staff meeting that Amy had gone to and we heard that the Rockets were back, but they seemed to be having a conflict with another group. I spotted Gabi and her team come in and I walked over to say hi. Sinopa ended up jumping on to Gabi's lap, where she seemed to want to stay. After making sure that it was okay with Gabi, i went off to resume my look for Evenstar.

[Lady Vulpix]

<Gabi's POV>

I was quite tired... a war and the end of the year would do that to me. I let myself drop on the couch and sighed. As if on queue, Yana came over and left Sinopa on my lap. Apparently she knew how to get me going again. I smiled, as I stroked the young Vulpix gently. Then Yana asked me whether it was ok if she left her with me for a moment. I had no objections, actually I enjoyed Sinopa's company. Aiyana then left, apparently looking for someone else. As I kept caressing Sinopa's fur, I let my mind wander. I realized New Year was about to come knocking at our doors; we needed a plan. There wasn't time to organize a big party for all the Dragon Tamers, but maybe we could make a small party with our friends here at the Eevee House? I called out for Amy, in order to discuss the idea with her.

<Caledor's POV>

Kiara accepted my apology and asked me how I was doing. Honestly, I felt great now, and I didn't hesitate to tell her. Too bad I didn't know what the next step was... I'd never been in a situation like this before. I mean, I'd talked to Kiara many times, but it today it was different somehow. It felt like a date, even if our teams and trainers were around. Dating Kiara had been a distant dream for me since the first time we played ball together; I didn't know what had changed, but somehow it seemed possible now. I just hoped I wouldn't blow it... Hopefully the red glow around me wouldn't be too noticeable. I couldn't seem to hold it completely. I tried to think of something to say to her... nothing seemed good enough. Then I remembered hearing Amy say something about getting presents for her team, so I went with that thought.
"So, how was Christmas?," I asked her.

<Tsunami's POV>

As I walked around, I saw Kovu appear from the shadows. Everyone seemed to be doing that these days. Still, it was nice to see a friendly face. He said 'hi' to me, but he looked away while I was greeting him back.
"Is everything ok?," I asked him.

<Pidgeot's POV>

I heard wings shaking above me and looked up. It was Dodger. Apparently he was leaving the House. A part of me wanted to do the same, to avoid going through Water Angel's inevitable lecture at a time when my old wounds were still open, to prevent myself from seeing her nearly broken, and from admitting my guilt. But I couldn't. Whatever I was about to go through, I'd brought it upon myself. It had been my decision to go after Team Rocket on my own; I knew what the stakes were but I hadn't really considered Water Angel's feelings. I'd promised her I'd be alright, but I wasn't even sure if I'd be able to keep that promise and she knew it. She knew me too well. They say you always hurt those you love. I wished it weren't true. I wished I could simply return home to see her welcome me back with her bright smile instead of the tears that were now running down her face. I guess I hadn't been aware of how much I mattered to her. She'd always been the wise one, the one who had all the answers... I should have thought more, I should have realized that putting myself in danger would hurt her; I just couldn't seem to think clearly whenever Team Rocket was involved. It was as if someone built a cage around my mind, stopping me from thinking about anything other than them. Everything I'd learn in my years with my team seemed to disappear. I felt like I had to deal with this alone because no one else could understand what I had gone through... In a sense I was, and would always be, alone. But that didn't give me the right to cast aside those who cared for me. Especially Water Angel, who had been there for me every day for the last 4 years. I had to listen to her now. I owed her that much. She told me how she'd been worried sick about me, more than she'd ever been before. She told me there was no threat we couldn't face together. We'd proven that before. She said she couldn't stand to stay back, helpless, while I put my physical and mental integrity at risk. Then she burst into tears and for the first time since I first met her she was out of words. I stretched out my left wing, making room for her to rest her head on my chest, and then closed it around her.

"Why can't things ever be easier for us?," I asked rhetorically.
"They can," she said. "It's really up to us, mostly."
I hoped she was right, though I still couldn't picture how.

sorry if its short but i jsut had a hard time finding time to make a post ^^'

(Amy’s POV)

I was just cornered by an exhausted Tiny and Colby when I heard someone calling my name. When I looked around, I saw that it was Gabi. I picked up Tiny as Colby stumbled sleepily behind me, as I made my way over to Gabi and sat down beside her. Gabi had Sinopa, who looked like she was about to go to sleep soon, on her lap, .though soon as I had the twins on my lap. Colby immediately went to sleep though Tiny was fighting to stay awake as he looked up at the two of us. I greeted Gabi with the usual “Hi, how are you?”

(Kovu’s POV)

“Yeah, everything is fine.” I told Tsunami. “I’ve just been thinking, that’s all. How are you doing?” I asked, as I looked back at him.

(Kiara’s POV)

"So, how was Christmas?," Caledor asked. I grinned. “It was okay.” I told him. “Amy’s been trying to save up enough to get the whole team something so she didn’t go overboard this Christmas, but she got me a Detect TM. She also got me a Charm TM a little while ago, but I haven’t used it. Amy said that she thought it suited me.” At that moment, I realized that I had been babbling away, and I blushed. I wasn’t sure if Caledor noticed or not but when I looked up at him, he was smiling, and I couldn’t help but smile back.

The first day of the year 2005. A new beginning, and a perfect time to teach everyone new moves. In a small raid on my backpack, some of my Pokemon gathered a few TMs they could use. Ash got Hidden Power, Morgana got Thunder Wave, Jacob got Hidden Power and Thundershock, Skye got Hidden Power, and Avani got Sand Tomb and Hidden Power. Right now, they were practicing using their new moves.
Ash fried a target with an electric jolt. He grinned. "I guess my Hidden Power is Electric," he said.
Jacob quickly toppled over three targets with a psychic wave. "And mine is Psychic!" he said, crossing his arms and nodding approvingly. "Quite cool."
"I think mine's Fighting," muttered Skye as she poked a target her Hidden Power punched a hole through.
"Mine's Ice," said Avani quietly, nodding at her frozen target.
I grinned. "This is great. I'm so glad you like your new attacks."
"How could we not?" asked Morgana. "They're so cool! Thank you!"
I nodded, smiling. Then, I looked at the others. "Sorry I couldn't get you guys anything... I'm kinda short on stamps and CCPs."
The other Pokemon shook their heads. Sirius walked up and patted my knee. "Hey, s'okay, we understand," he said. "We can wait, it's not a big deal."
I smiled. Suddenly, I saw Justinian trying to climb on my backpack. "Hey, hey, get off, Justin!" I cried. "There are eggs in there!"
Justin quickly jumped off. "Eep. Sorry," he mumbled.
"Eggs? Pokemon eggs?" Joash asked.
"Yup! Two Eevee eggs," I said, opening the bag and taking out the two eggs. Joash started wagging his tail happily.
"When are they going to hatch?" asked Spinal, climbing on my head.
"Soon, I hope," I said, patting one of the eggs. "They were laid long ago."
"Um, does soon mean now?" asked Kansho, sweatdropping as he pointed to the other egg. It was the younger egg... and it was hatching!
Everyone gathered around and looked at the shell cracking, and the small snout of an Eevee poking out...
"Aw! He's adorable!" Kairi exclaimed as the little Eevee stumbled out.
"He sure is!" I smiled. The Eevee looked up at us. He blinked. And then, he squealed in fear and ran into my backpack.
"We scared him..." mumbled Flashlight, pouting.
Rudo sighed and patted Flashlight on top of his head. "Don't worry, Flash, we could... unscare him or some-WOAH!!"
Everyone gasped. A bright light was coming out of the bag... and suddenly, something inside, the glowing object, started growing. I quickly pulled it out of the bag.
When the glow faded, we saw that the object was a Vaporeon, a little smaller than most, but as magnificent as a normal-sized one. He looked around, confused and frightened.
"That's... that's the Eevee!" cried Kyle. "But how...?"
"I had a Water Stone in my bag," I frowned. "I was saving it for him... guess he decided that this Water Stone would be the perfect birthday gift."
I pulled the Vaporeon into my lap. He squealed and tried to escape. I hugged him closely. "Shh, it's okay, kiddo, it's okay..." After a while, he calmed down. I started stroking his shiny coat.
"So what's his name?" inquired Sirius.
"Hmmm... how about Araphel?" I asked the Vaporeon.
"Por!" he smiled and pawed at my nose.
"Heh. Alright. Araphel it is."
Yup. The first day of the year is definitely a good day for new beginnings.

Sorry, better late than never.

<Gabi's POV>

When Amy sat by my side, and after our traditional double-how-are-you-greeting, I told her my thoughts about having a New Year party at the Eevee House. We were both quite busy, but she seemed to like the idea, so we both started arranging things for the celebration.

<Tsunami's POV>

"I'm fine," I told Kovu. "Just a little bored. Everyone else seems to be with someone and not to want any interruptions, so I don't know what to do right now. Would you like to join me for a game or something?"

<Caledor's POV>

I smiled as Kiara told me about the presents she and her friends had received. Especially when she told me about her Charm TM, and how Amy said it suited her.
"It definitely does," I told her. "So, you had a good time. That's great! Shall we have some more now?"
What can I say? Standing still was just not my thing. I couldn't wait to get started with all the things we could do together, whatever they were. I was already having a good time just by thinking about it.

<Sylvan's POV>

I heard chatter at another part of the house and went to see what was going on. I got there just in time to see a newborn Eevee evolve! "Poor baby!," I thought. Evolution could be a good thing in the long run, but it was a tough experience, and having to go through it right after birth... Well, he probably wouldn't remember it when he grew up, but it must have been hard for him. I got closer, trying to check whether he was alright, while doing my best not to bother those who were already there - a hard thing to do when you're as bulky as myself.

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, better late than never to make my first post here in 2005. I've decided from now on, "My POV" in my posts will now be replaced by "Kyle's POV", just as a minor change to my posts here.

Kyle's POV

Things were going excellent for me. After getting almost everything I wanted for Christmas, I was ready to witness the hatching of my final Eevee. As I came into the EH for the first time in the new year, I carefully brought in the final Eevee egg, and after going to my usual spot, I carefully set down the egg. Within seconds, a small crack appeared on the egg, slowly growing bigger and bigger until yet another Eevee came out of it. As usual, he was the same size as his brothers and sister, and I was sure they would be proud to meet him, so I took out their Pokeballs, and opened them up to reveal Blazer, Aqua and Nocturne.

"Hey all. Look who just hatched." I said to my first three Eevees.

"Our last sibling! Cool!" Blazer said.

"Yeah. I've decided he will be named Espio. What do you think?" I asked.

"Sounds nice." Aqua said.

"I agree." Nocturne added.

"I agree with the twins, Espio is a nice name indeed." Blazer declared.

"Great, Espio it is." I said as I turned and smiled at my newest Eevee.

A few minutes later, I watched in surprise as my four Eevees all curled up together near my feet, as if they were a little tired...

[Wolfsong]

(Amy’s POV)

After talking with Gabi we decided that even though the new year had already started, it was still new and we could still have a party. Tiny had finally succumbed to falling asleep so I set him down next to his brother. What do you think we should do about decorations?” I asked Gabi.

(Kovu’s POV)

I nodded as I listened to Tsunami. “Sure.” I answered when he asked me if I wanted to join in a game or something. “What kind?” I asked..

(Kiara’s POV)

"It definitely does. So, you had a good time. That's great! Shall we have some more now?" I grinned. “That sounds like a good idea to me.” I jumped down off the couch and landed gracefully. Grinning, I turned back to look at Caledor. I was very glad that I landed on my paws and not flat on my face.

(Blazer’s POV)

I entered the Eevee House from the back yard. I had been outside practicing on targets but after a while that got boring. Once I was inside, I looked around for someone to talk to.

[Meowth_Kitten]

(Tara's POV)

After careful thought, I decided that it was a good time to visit the Eevee House. My team and I had been away for so long, I knew I would hardly know what to do! Oh well. I still wasn't sure if we were here to stay or not, but everyone likes to visit every once in awhile.

Clinging on to BlueShadow's powerful back, my heart raced. Would anyone remember us? BlueShadow seemed to read my thoughts; he turned his head to glare at me. I grinned, knowing everything would be fine.

Sitting in front of me, my faithful blue-eyed Umbreon called Christian waited anxiously for BlueShadow to land on the ground. Finally the moment had come. BlueShadow helped Christian and myself off his back and onto the ground. Immediately my team burst out of their Pokeballs.

Jesse, Torrey, Sandie, Spice, Sadie, Jayce, Jeepers, Misu, Kahlia, Ace, Zippo, and Khaisa, followed by BlueShadow and Christian all looked at me in anticipation. I smiled at them and led the way inside, hoping maybe a few familiar faces would be there to greet us.

We walked through the magical doors. My heart beamed when my eyes took the wonderful sights inside. The Eevee House didn't change a bit. I was glad to be back.

[Pidgeot]

Dante's POV

As Connor and I strolled through the well manicured lawn of the Eevee house gardens, I couldnt help but ponder upon what he had just done. Giving up one's pokemon must be hard, but to lose a good friend in the process must be heart breaking. It was for this reason that I decided to talk to him, following my owners betrayl of me back at the Adoption Center.

He looked excited, detirmined even. I could sense he wanted to prove himself to me as a trainer, but there was no need. I knew from the way he had treated Maria that Connor was an exceptional trainer, that is better than any I had come across. I was proud to call him my friend.

"What exactly are we waiting for? Why dont we go and fight?" I inquired, despite already knowing his motives and had already figured out his hidden agenda.
"All in good time, my boy!" He responded in a planned fashion. I rolled my eyes at my own attempt at niavety. I couldnt let him onto me right now, I had to get a feel for his technique first.

We sat down as the rain began. It was quickly noted that Connor didnt seem to mind water at all. Infact, he seemed to enjoy it as the drizzle trickled down his grinning face.
"Its great isnt it? I love the rain..." I cut him off as Ive always hated small talk.
"Connor, why did you adopt me?"
"Because you seemed like a challenge and like a fun..."
"I dont want any of that Ash and Pikachu bull**** Connor."
"I dont know why. Instinct, fate, call it what you want, but the second I saw you I knew I wanted to help you, you seemed like you were in a bad place at the time."
Memories flashed past my mind of him. That coward. "Well I did just get abandoned."

There was a long silence as the grey clouds overhead darkened and the rain increased. Connor looked awkward. "Im getting over it Connor, its just something I have to do on my own. In the mean time, I'd like to battle, are you up for it?"
He nodded.

[Sheik]

Jay's POV

It had seemed like ages since I last set foot in the Eevee House. Not much has changed. The furniture was re-arranged, but that was nearly it. Looking around, I eyed an empty table, so I made my way for it. The Eevee House was bustling with people and Pokemon, and was loud.

I took a seat in the chair, and memories from the past began to take place in my mind--Banx being born. Ayemin and Anna being born... Brandi being born. It all flashed before me... then I realized how much I actually missed this place.

Brandi's POV

It had been so long since I last set foot in here. I remember this place, though. I looked around for a woman with a Ninetales.... I wanted to see my father. I think I've only seen him once before, but that was not enough. I wanted to see him again.

I looked over at Matthias, curled up, lying on the ground. He was such a twit. "Matthias, get up," I ordered. He looked up at me, and yawned.

"Yeah?" he replied. "Do you remember his place? Any of it?" I asked. He nodded in approval. "Did you ever miss it?" He shook his head. It seemed as though the memories of the Eevee House affected me more strongly than anyone else.

Chlo's POV

I had never been here before. It was noisy, and Pokemon were everywhere. Some where in the pool, others were flying near the ceiling. It was chaos. I jumped up onto Jay's lap, and sat there. He held me as I began to get comfortable. I decided to sit and watch as the activity within the Eevee House continued with full force.
