Club: Eevee House (MA) Vs. 26

[classy_cat18]

Cloud's POV

"You're lying," Cinder said with a smirk.
My expression hardened. "About what?" I asked them. "About being jealous of Misu?"
"No, about knowing when you're beaten. Face it; you haven't let Kawaii go." He chuckled quietly and patted my head.
I searched my heart and found out he was right. My heart still skipped a beat when I thought about Kawaii. "So I lied. What's it to you?"
"You shouldn't have lied. That Blade guy seemed like he wanted to hear a sob story."
"I'm confused," Misu joined in. "He seemed glad that he didn't have a sob story."
"I guess I should've told him that this wasn't the first time that I loved and lost," I said.
"What? You're a repeat offender?" Cinder asked me. "You should've told him that!"
"Well, you should've told me that he wanted to hear that!"
"I'll tell him! Did anyone see where he went?" They shook their heads. "I'll find him myself." I trotted over the backyard, but no sign. I had no idea how big and crowded the House was. I circled around to the backyard but didn't find him there either. Then I looked up. There he was, leaning against the chimney.
I cleared my throat and yelled out. "I don't know about you, but my friends say that I'm not the only one! And I kinda lied about letting her go! I'll never fully let her go!" I looked around at the staring Pokemon and humans. "Mind your business," I hissed at them.

Beaky's POV

I looked back at Archangel. The Murkrow was looking around like she actually knew what I was looking for. "In case you didn't know, we're looking for a green Espeon," I informed her. "Can you spot her? It's like spotting a whale in a fishing pond."

[Linc]

-=Archangel's POV=-

"I could tell. I have Hidden Power, Psychic Type, so I can read your mind." I said calmly. Beaky froze for an almost untracable moment, and then he began flapping again. "Don't worry, I only do it when I'm helping someone or battling." I said. "Oh! Green Espeon, by the tree!" I shouted and pointed with my beak. Beaky nodded and dove, and I followed.

-=Cara's POV=-

"Linc, if you don't mind, can I go see my dad? I have to ask him some things." I asked. Linc nodded. "Don't forget to take your brother's egg with you." Linc said and placed the egg on my back. I curled my tails around it, and walked away from the team. I walked for a while when I suddenly saw Dad, Mom, and a Jolteon standing around each other. I ran over and sat down by Dad. "Hi dad. I was wondering, how many siblings do I have?" I asked. Dad looked over and smiled.
"Well, you have one on your back I see, and this Jolteon here is your half-brother, along with other Pokemon." I looked at the Jolteon and smiled. "Hi, my name's Cara! What's yours?"
"Jovi. So, I guess you're my sister?"
"Yep, I guess so. It's always nice meeting family."
"And it looks like we're gonna meet one more in a second." Mom said as she edged closer and pointed to the egg with her front paw. I looked back, and saw that the egg was rocking, and there were squeaks comeing out of it.
Crck
The egg broke open, and a small paw came out. I held onto the egg with my tails and placed it on the ground. The egg cracked open some more, and i pulled the remains of the shell away. Mom cleaned my baby brother with her tongue, and I stared in wonder at the tiny Vulpix. "Well, Dad, Mom, I was wondering if you could name him." I said and looked at them.

[Wolfsong]

(Jasmine’s POV)

There wasn’t much to do and I didn’t see any of my friends so I decided to look around. That was when I noticed the sign ups for the flying race. I grinned as I looked around for Amy. I soon found her. “What are you so hyper about?” she asked. I grinned. “I saw the sign ups for the flying race.” “So you want me to sign you up?” I nodded my head yes. “Okay.” I watched as she put down my info.

(Jovi’s POV)

Luckily by now, my fur was back to normal. Dad was grinning, and I had a bad feeling that he enjoyed making me blush. At least he and Kawaii seemed to get along. I was about to edge away from Dad, and go to the spot when Flare showed up. Not long after, another ninetales that turned out to be my half sister. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kawaii and I blushed again. Then I heard a cracking sound and noticed an egg on Cara’s back. It seemed that I was about to have a new half sibling. After Flare cleaned it up, it turned out that I had a half brother. Cara then turned to look at Flare and Dad. "Well, Dad, Mom, I was wondering if you could name him.” she said. Dad and Flare looked at each other for a little bit then his eyes began to glow violet and I realized that they were talking privately. Soon, the glow disappeared from his eyes as the two of them turned to look at Cara. “What about Hakan.” I grinned. Amy had told us about the magnificent charizard named Hakan that she had the pleasure of battling alongside during the battle with Ho oh. I waited to see what Cara thought about the name. Still, it looked like it could fit the newborn vulpixs as well.

(Tiana’s POV)

"You had an out-of-body experience. Since your thoughts were so intent on Ruki, you let your psychic powers stray and temporarily went into his mind and saw what happened through himself. This is why you need to practice and keep your emotions under control. One slip and you could be reading private thoughts that you don't want to her. Now, let's meditate for another 20 minutes and then you can take a break for a few hours." Nightshade explained. I nodded my head, though I was still somewhat weirded out by the whole experience. I was about to use calm mind to get myself in a state of mind that I could meditate again when I heard someone call out "Oh! Green Espeon, by the tree!" I looked up to see a murkrow and Beaky. Instinctively, I flinched. A quick glance over at Nightshade confirmed that he wasn’t’ too happy with the interruption. “Tiana, is Ruki battling today? I can’t find him anywhere” Beaky asked. “Nope.” I said shaking my head sadly. “Where is he?” “In his pokeball. He wont’ come out for anyone, not even Zale, me, or Amy.” Beaky looked shocked. “Why?! What happened?” I took a deep breath, before explaining about the fair, his unexpected evolution and the flaw in the night stone, and the two flaffys and all. “Now he won’t come out. He actually doesn’t look that bad at all. But he tells us that we have to say that because we’re family and Amy’s our trainer. If you want to try and talk him out, Amy’s over there by the adoptee race sign up sheet. Sorry, but I have to get back to my lessons now.” I said as I started to use my calm mind attack, to get myself back into focus.

[Linc]

-=Cara's POV=-

"How about Hakan." Jovi grinned. I smiled and happily nodded. "That's perfect!" I said and nuzzled my little brother. He yawned and his teeth were shown, and he closed his mouth, and fell asleep. "So bro, I saw you with that Girafarig earlier today. Something going on between you?" I said and grinned at my half-brother. He blushed, and his head went backwards a bit. "Uh...I...um..." He said.
"I knew it! Oh Jovi, you rock. I wonder if that'll happen to me and Static..."
"And who's Static?" Jovi said and grinned.
"He's uh... um... my... uh..."
"Hmph. Now who's blushing." Jovi said and grinned even more.
"I can't believe it. Two couples revealed in one day." Dad said and smiled.

-=Archangel's POV=-

"Well Beaky, come on! Let's go see Amy! I'll use my Hidden Power: Psychic to let you talk to Ruki through his Poke Ball!" I said and flew into the air. Beaky followed me frowning. "Now what is it?" I asked. "Nothing." He answered.
"Come on, I'll use my Sky Attack to get us there faster. Grab on." I said and formed my talons into a kind of circle. Beaky connected his beak in the center of it, and I began to glow. We suddnely launched forwards, exploding through the air. I saw the sign-ups for the race and dove, still using Sky Attack, and I stopped the attack, pausing afew feet above the ground. Beaky let go of my talons and dropped to the ground. I fell down next to him, shaking my head from the headache Sky Attack had caused. Beaky clattered over to Amy, and looked up at her. "Ruki's Poke Ball, quick!" He said. Amy looked onfused at first but then took the Poke Ball and placed it in front of Beaky. I flapped over and I opened a link to Ruki's mind with my Hidden Power and Beaky began to speak.
-=My POV=-

"Hmm. I think I'm gonna go sign up Archangel for the race, you guys hang out." I said and left the team. I walked over to the sign-ups. I noticed Archangel and a Spearow. Archangel's eyes were glowing, and I sent her a message through my mind, and she nodded. I then gave in Archangel's data.

[Charizard04621]

Naurmir, the male Charmander’s POV:

I had no idea what was going on, but Karin had called me and Aglárien without explaining much. I really hoped that we weren’t in trouble. My mind skipped backwards, trying to find something we’d done wrong, but I couldn’t think of anything. Maybe I was just too paranoid… Aglárien didn’t seem too worried. Gaining assurance from her, I felt calmer as we approached our trainer. If I couldn’t remember doing anything wrong, I probably hadn’t done it.

When we got there, I saw Karin smiling. She had something behind her back, and I wasn't sure what it was.

"What's behind your back?" I asked. Aglárien didn't even wait for the answer; she just darted to the back and revealed the boxes. Karin lifted the boxes up in the air.

"Not yet," she said. They seemed familiar to me... I might have seen these kinds of things before. I thought they were TMs.

"Do you know what today is?" Karin asked us. I wasn't sure, but Aglárien grinned widely and began to toy with her TM. Did I miss something...?

"Is it our birthday?" she asked.

Karin nodded, a little surprised. "How'd you guess?"

"You called the both of us here together, we're twins, you were smiling, you brought us presents, and I saw Elwing's birthday celebration before. It wasn't a perfect bunch of evidence, but it was close enough."

Smirking, Karin chuckled softly to herself. "All right, you've earned this," she
gave in, handing a TM to Aglárien. I eyed the other two. Were they both for me?

Aglárien didn't seem to mind; she was already busy with her present, which I soon found out to be Crunch. When she was content with practicing it on the air, she came over to me and asked what mine were.

"These two are for you," Karin had told me, "Because unlike Aglárien, you have little opportunity to learn new attacks in battle."

I sat there staring at the boxes until Aglárien showed me how to open them; the light bathed me and I wasn't sure what had happened or what I had learned.

[Wolfsong]

(Amy's POV)

I couldn't believe that i had forgotten to get the TMs Flame had asked me too. Well, at least i mananged to get them on time. Though i couldd tell that he was grumpy when i finally arrived at the EH.

(Flame's POV)

Where was she? i thought to myself, when i finally saw Amy slide into the door of the Eevee House. When she finally made it over to me, I gave her a look that made it plain that i wasn't happy. "Did you get them?" She nodded. "Yes, a Mimic TM for Aglárien and a hidden power TM for Naurmir." "Good." I waited till after Karin had given them some tms before i approached. "Hey, sorry i didn't get these earlier but my trainer forgot to get them for me till just now though i had asked her a while back. Hope you like them." I said nervously. "I got Mimic for you Aglárien and Hidden power for you Naurmir." I waited nervously for their reactions.

(Zale's POV)

I nodded, thanking Lyra. I chuckled as Angel gave her a little lick on the face. "I think i saw a kidde pool in the store room. Could you watch her while i go and see if i can find it? If you can't, i understand. Shouldn't take long unless its been moved since the last time i checked." I waited for her answer before i did anything.

(Nuria's POV)

I walked over to a corner and stared at all of the pokemon with wings that were around. They were the lucky ones. I wouldn't get them for a long time. I sighed, shaking my head.

[The_Missing_Link]

<Lyra's POV>

"Sure, go ahead," I said, still holding Angel.
I watched him walk to the closet and held Angel out in front of me, who was squirming a bit.
"Knowing your dad, it seems like you'll have a spoiled life. He can't say no. Not saying it's a bad thing but he needs to show some backbone once in a while. I hope you won't make it difficult for him.

<Blade's POV>

I sighed and flew down before picking him up and putting him on the roof, in less than half a minute.
"Whoah, what just happened?" Cloud exclaimed.
"It's called speed," I replied dryly. "So you said you'll never let her go. I'm assuming it's happened before, am I right?"
He looked down and I knew I was right in my assumptions.
"Tell me what happened then. It's probably not as bad as mine but you never know."

[*Murkrow]

~Rage~

I groaned and opened my eyes, blinking against the rush of light.
“Where am I?”
“The Eevee House.”
“How’d I get here?”
“We brought you….shouldn’t that be obvious? You still hadn’t come round when we finished up at the fair so we came here to give you a chance to, well, recover. You and Sapphire.”
“Sapphire?”
Sianna motioned towards my side; glancing over, I saw her looking rather pale, coiled up and seemingly unconscious. Omega and Flash were sitting by her; Omega caught my eye and winked before nudging Flash and laughing.
“What happened to her?”
“She fought Ryau- she…Sapphire…was against us, er, helping you after you got knocked out, Ryau didn’t like that, and so the two ended up in a fight.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Perhaps you should go thank Ry?”
“Um, good idea. Know where she is?”
“Beats me. But she’s with Caelest and their practising flying, so look outside or up around the rafters somewhere.”
“And be nice.”
Not bothering to answer, I struggled to my feet and flapped hard into the air.

~Ryau~

Soaring between two of the rafters, I followed Caelest as she darted from one to the other, before swooping down to skim over the heads of the crowds and back up again.
Looking back, she chuckled appreciatively.
“Hard to believe that only a couple of months ago you couldn’t even get off the ground, isn’t it?”
Nodding, I tried to speed up to glide alongside her, but her expression suddenly changed-eyes widening, she quickly flashed up again.
“I owe you one, kid.”
Starting at Rage’s unexpected voice, I automatically spun round, but either he’d misjudged the distance between us, or he hadn’t expected me to react like that, but as he swooped past, I accidentally managed to crash into his outstretched wing.
Shuddering, I dropped down, landing with a crash beside a Charmander who had been looking up with an envious look on her face, but jumped back in alarm as I slammed down.
Wincing, I looked up, shaking slightly.
“Er, sorry about that.”

~Hannah~

“What’s with Tikish?”
Fizz frowned curiously over at where the Delcatty was pacing round in a circle, thrashing his tail in obvious agitation.
“I don’t know. Go get him for me, ok?”
As she nodded, leapt off my shoulder and hurried over to him, I turned my attention back to the egg in Xolotle’s arms, which was beginning to glow slightly and shake minutely.
Beside me, Kai let out a half-sigh, looking away from the green shell to glance back round the crowded room, with a look on his face that showed that he would have preferred to be anywhere but here.
“You’re not very excited, are you?”
“Well, I am….but I’m not.”
He buried his head into his paws and shrugged.
“But it doesn’t matter about that, it can’t be changed now.”
“You shouldn’t be so worried about it. Look at me, I’ve still got all my freedom I once had.”
“But we all pity your kids….though they aren’t really kids now.”
“I’m sick to death of all this.”
Tikish broke through the conversation, pausing only slightly when he noticed the egg, before glaring back round at everyone.
“I am so bored it’s unbelievable…..nothing ever happens here.”
“No. Lots happens here, you’re just too snobbish to notice.”
“I am not.”
“You are…it’s guaranteed if one of us here tried to tell you about that egg then you wouldn’t have listened.”
“Hmm. Who’s egg is it?”
“Now you’re interested? And it’s Kai’s.”
“Kai?”
He flung an odd look at Kai who just nodded silently.
“What is it, another Mudkip?”
“No. None of us know yet, until it hatches.”
“Just curious, where’s Harle? She’s normally with you.”
“See if I care. She went off with some other Eevee….good riddance. Oh, and that reminds me.”
He bent down and pulled off his Pokémon Earring, letting it clatter down onto the floor.
“I’m well aware that I’m never going to use it, so I don’t see why I should look like an idiot and wear it.”
Spinning round, he stuck his head into the air and strutted off.
“Ok, that was useless.”
“Who’s going to get that Earring now?”
“I’ll decide later”-I quickly picked it up and slipped it back into my bag-“Kai, your egg is hatching.”
Placing the egg onto the floor, Xol stepped back as the shell flared white, then cracked and fell away, leaving the small green Pokémon lying on the floor, looking up at us warily with big red eyes.
“Aww, that is so cute.”
Smiling awkwardly, Kai edged closer, but the baby just whimpered and backed off, crouching down fearfully; Kai hesitated and flung everyone a pleading look.
“What am I doing wrong?”
“Nothing…he’s just a bit wary, that’s all.”
Quickly stepping forward, I scooped him up and cradled him gently.
“Any idea for a name? Kai?”
“I honestly don’t mind.”
“I had a few running through my mind……how about….Bakura? It sort of suits him.”
“I like it.”
“Kai?”
“Ok.”

~Harle~

“Where to first?”
I giggled quickly, before looking around.
“I don’t really know much that’s in this place.”
Pausing, I caught the sound of splashing water, the thumps of Pokémon working out, the sound of things flying through the air. But above all that....
“Food….where’s the kitchen? Want to go there?”

[Charizard04621]

Naurmir, the male Charmander's POV:

After Karin gave us our presents, our dad came along! I jumped on him happily, grabbing his tail and hugging it. He'd brought stuff for our birthdays too, and I looked curiously at the Hidden Power TM that he gave me. Aglárien got a Mimic TM which she was practicing already. I smiled as I saw her causing little disturbances in the pool, confusing pokémon that were trying to Surf around.

"What's my Hidden Power?" I asked my dad.

He told me, "Nobody knows yet. You have to find out by yourself. Try it!"

Grinning, I tried to tap into the new power I'd been given, but to no avail. I concentrated really hard but nothing happened, nothing at all. I began to get frustrated. How come Aglárien could do everything so easily and I couldn't?

Starting to get a headache, I ran outside, angry at myself for not being able to use my Hidden Power in front of my dad. I noticed as I passed that suddenly poisonous and thorned plants shot out of the ground. Surprised, I went to look at them. That was strange... Where did they come from?

As I went closer to look at them, no longer angry, just confused, the thorny weeds went away, to be replaced with elaborate rainbow-colored flowers.

[Skye]

Darkfire's POV

I had no idea how I had gotten into this. I did NOT want to be around a bunch of Dragon Tamers... Excluding the fact that I was one of them.. for now.. I sighed and went around the back of the Eevee House and let my Pokemon out. Rayne blinked, looking around. Naois just looked up to me calmly, swinging his tail casually back and fourth, the flame on the end burning with power. Amaris didn'y even spare me a glance, she was already spinning around, taking everything in.

"Alright. I'm not really one for crowds, though perhaps you three might be able to get some info?" I requested, holding up a little book that I was taking notes in.

Rayne's POV

I nodded at Darkfire's request and scurried around. I was pleased at my new strengths that I had gained with my four levels from the Pond Room. Nothing like power. I stopped by the back door and glanced in. Nothing much to my liking. I went passed the door and slkowed when I was caught in a patch of warm sun. Soooo warm... I stopped and layed down, tucking my claws up underneath my shell. I wondered if anyone would susspect me of being any more than a rock...

Naois's POV

I watched Rayne scruuy off before walking off myself. Darkfire was a spy against the Dragon Tamers. So what? I strolled away passivly, not even stopping by the door. I didn't want to spy. I didn't even want to talk. Let Rayne and Amaris do Darkfire's dirt work, I'm up for a nap... Unless there is somewhere to train.. Maybe another time.

Amaris's POV

YAY! SPY! I bounced off after Darkfire had asked us to spy... I like to do that! I stalked off smoothly.. Uh.. Bouncing.. And peered inside of the house. Eevee House! I grinned widely and looked around for someone to ssssspppppyyyyyy on.

Darkfire's POV

I felt a bit worried. Rayne was very much like myself, and might go a bit overboard. Naois didn't really seem enthusiastic about my position, and while Amaris would definatly help, she was rather young and could accidentally let something slip. Being a spy was going to be very difficult... I sighed again and sat down by the back doore, opening up my book to review some notes I had taken already.

[BlazikenKevin]

..:: My POV ::..

Walking in, old memories come to mind... Memories of my older adopted pokemon, that I put in my PC. Well, I start anew today, and here I am...

Searching my coat, similar in fashion to Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, I find one Pokeball, and throw it out, relasing a Mawile, saying, "Go, Toothy!".

..:: Toothy's POV ::..

"Wha....wha....where am I", said Toothy Shyly...

..:: My POV ::..

"Well, Toothy, you, are at the Eevee House. It's a place I used to visit all the time...", I said, still remembering old times...

I then, walked further in, saying, "Hey, anyone remember me?"

TAG :: Anyone

[DarkPsychicCharizard]

<My POV>

I stepped into the house and looked around. "Wow, there sure are a lot of Pokemon in here," I mumbled. I walked further in and took off my bag. "Okay, guys, it's time to come out now."
I released all my Pokemon. They all looked around, confused and curious to know what is this place they had materialized in.
"What is this place...?" Joash asked in childish wonder.
"This is the Eevee House. It's a place for you to socialize with other Pokemon like yourselves."
"Other Pokemon? You mean, trained Pokemon like us?" Kairi asked, smiling.
"Yeah, trained, just like you guys. Anyway," I continued. "As you can see, there's nice furniture, a kitchen, a pool..."
"A POOL!!" Rudo and Flashlight were delighted. They grinned and started dancing around.
I chuckled. "Heh... I guess you're already finding your place, huh guys? Well, what I want you to do is... try not to wreck anything here, okay? And be nice to the other trainers and their Pokemon."
"Okay!"
I grinned. "You guys can go now."

<Ash's POV>

Everyone started running deeper into the Eevee house. Everyone except for Bakemono, who mumbled something mean under his breath and dissolved into the air, and Spinal, who cautiously walked off to hide in the kitchen.
Mori pulled my hand. "Ash, do you want to come with me?" he asked, looking hopeful.
I smiled. "Okay... it should be fun."
We started walking towards the others, Mori taking the lead and holding my hand, when we heard Shai call us. "Ash, Mori! Come here for a sec!"
Mori looked at me, puzzled. I shrugged. We made our way back to our trainer. "What's the matter, Shai?" I asked her when we approached.
"I have something to give you guys." she dug in her bag and pulled out two disk-like items. "These are for you."
Mori looked surprised. "For us? Wow... what are these?"
"Technical Machines," she replied. She handed us each one. I received a light purple disk, and Mori received a silvery one. "Just place them on your forehead."
"What do they do?" I asked. They looked a bit suspicious to me.
"Just try."
I gave Mori a look. He shrugged his shoulders. I nodded, and cautiously placed the disk on my forehead.
A weird feeling, a bit like static, spread from my forehead to my entire body. It was short and fast, and when it was finished, the disk was gone and my body was warm. I looked at Mori again. He looked baffled, trying to find the right words to use to express his confusion. "What... was that?" he asked.
"Well, Mori, you just learned Endeavor," Shai said. "And Ash, you just learned Toxic."
"Y-you mean... these disks taught us new moves?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yup! You can call them TMs."
"TMs..." I repeated. I felt myself smiling.
"Yeah. I thought you'd like them," Shai grinned. She gently pushed us towards the others. "Go on, you guys. There are Pokemon out there waiting to meet you."
"Alright! Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"

<My POV>

I smiled as they ran off, chattering about their new attacks in excitement. Suddenly, I saw something moving in the corner of my eye. I looked to see the rainbow egg I have been keeping in my bag rolling out. I chuckled and picked it up. "Can't wait, huh little guy?" I placed the egg back in the bag and closed it. "Soon, little guy. You'll be able to join the others soon."

[BlazikenKevin]

Coming back, after leaving to get some more pokemon, after nobody responded to him, Kevin, let out his three Pokemon, Toothy, the Mawile, Nosy the Nosepass, and Drilltail, the Dunsparce. He then, let them roam around, with Toothy introducing them to the new world...

Pokemon's POV

"Hi, I'm Toothy, and you guys are?", said the Mawile, who had just overcome a little of his shyness.

"Well, I am Drilltail, according to Kevin", said the Dunsparce, who is gifted with extraordinary knowledge, unusual for his kind.

"And I am Nosy. Why do you ask?", nosily said the Nosepass, who always seemed to need to know more...

"Well, Nosy," said Toothy, "I needed to know your name, before we do anything here, as we are teammates, of the same Master."

"Duh!," said Drilltail, "It doesn't take even me to figure that out..."

"Well, lets go," said Toothy, "Anyone have an idea of where to go? I say we go to the playground..."

"Okay," said the other two, as they all walked to the Playground...

[caimsfiredragon377]

im just here to let my pokemon hang out, *releases gerald and mia from their pokeballs*

[Cheesey]

» Cheesey's POV «

I ran into the Eevee House as quickly as I could. Well, actually, I ran into the door of the Eevee House rather too quickly for my liking and got a bit of a nasty bang on the head. Cursing to myself, I slowed down and walked in through the double doors of the building.

It was the same as I had left it; not actually a huge building, but when you get inside, you'd think differently. The seemingly vast walls stretched up high to join the wide ceiling together with long beams. The whole place was spacious, with a mixed atmosphere. It seemed peaceful, but bustling with activity at the same time. I walked into the room and had a sit on the settees. I was tired from having walked quite a distance and also getting into a needless fight against a rather ferocious little Torchic. And it hadn't helped that I'd just run into a door.

There was nobody else on the sofas with me, so I moved over a little bit - I was sitting on a cushion and for some reason it had been rather uncomfortable - and grabbed the remote control for a nearby television. I was just about to turn the TV when I felt a rather weird shaking at my belt. I looked down to see who it was, and funnily enough, it was Imarad. I picked the ball up, opened it rather catiously, and let Imarad out beside me.

She wouldn't talk to me. I think it was because I hadn't let her out of her pokeball for a while, but I'd rather she'd takl to me about it instead of sulking. At least she wasn't throwing a tantrum, because I hate it when she does that - Everyone looks at us funny. I figured the best way to let it pass would be to leave her alone until she felt like talking to me again, so I left her to fume on her own. I turned on the TV with the remote (after many tries - someone should get new batteries for this ruddy thing) and watched the news.

It wasn't terribly exciting. It was mainly about the weather around Caledor. I pondered over it for a while, because I didn't know whether to continue watching or whether to go and find someone to talk to or something to do. I didn't come to any sort of conclusion because I'm rather indecisive, so I decided to be annoying and poke Imarad until she spoke to me. Poke... poke... prod... She was getting a little frustrated with me, I could tell. Her fur was feeling bristly like it usually does when she's irritated. I continued to prod her in a vain attempt to make her speak to me, but it was to no avail.

It got kinda boring after a while. Well, I say a while, but I mean about ten minutes. But I stopped anyway because the TV had started making funny noises. I looked at it suspiciously. I'm not used to having the telly make weird noises at me, Maybe it was trying to tell me something. Maybe it was-

"Special News Bulletin!" cried the mad newsreader on the television. She had hair that stuck out all over the place and a huge pair of horn rimmed spectacles with thick lenses.
"The Free Range Coral is under siege by a group of Smeargle. We don't know where this gang of painters has come from, but they are running amok for no identifiable reason. The worst part being that they have a huge array of moves at their disposal, so we cannot predict what they will do, nor what will happen as a consequence of this event."

I looked at the TV for a wihle. It took me a few minutes to actually grasp what the newsreader had been saying because she had such a weird accent - it sounded like some sort of bumblebee high on caffeine - but it got through to me in the end. Then Imarad suddenly spoke to me. Spoke, as in shouted at the top of her voice in my ear.

"Well? We have to do something about that!"
"We do? Won't it get sorted out by someone else?"
"You're a bit of an idiot, aren't you? We've just heard about it on the news. You have an angry Zangoose who needs to let out her anger on something. Why not the Smeargle who are rampaging for no reason in one of the nicest places in Caledor?"

I had to admit she had a point. Something had to be done and there was no guarantee that anyone else was going to do something about it. So I guess that I should go there and do something about it... Meh... I can't be bothered really. But I shouldn't sit here whilst something like this is going on...

"Come on Imarad. We're going to the Free Range Coral."
"Finally come to your sense, eh?" she joked.

Beaky's POV

I shot a quick glare at Archangel before turning to the pokeball. "Ruki, this is Beaky. Your sister told me what happened. You shouldn't let a little thing like your looks get you down. Besides, there's too many Umbreon around here that look the same. You should be glad that you look different."

Cloud's POV

"It all started when we both lived in the Crystal Caves Meadow. Our herds grazed right next to each other. After a long time of just staring at her and wishing that I could talk to her, I finally did. I barely got past 'hi' when some male Girafarig stepped in and beat me up. Bad. He said that I had no business being here and that I should stick to my own flock.

"I stayed with my flock for a couple of days and tried again. Finally I got a response from Kawaii. Called me a weakling and psychically threw me into a bush. I tried a couple more times and got the same response. She's gentler today, but back then she was a witch." I chuckled. "One day something scared our herds and scattered us. We finally found each other again but I couldn't find Kawaii. My siblings told me that I shouldn't go looking for her after what she did to me. I gathered the courage to separate myself from the flock and go looking for her. I had a few adventures before I ran into my trainer and eventually Kawaii. My new, more confident attitude didn't charm her. That and she kinda had a boyfriend by then."

[Wolfsong]

Well i was going to have a long post but seeing as i lost what i had saved and possibly all my other documents on the computer i'm just posting to evolve Lani. x.x and maybe a little bit for ruki. Not as descriptive as i had wanted it to be but oh well when the comp messes up your plans........

(Amy's POV)

I pulled out the Rock Smash SM that i had gotten for coming in second in the Solar games as well as a fire stone out of my pack. Lani had been thinking about evolving for a little while now, and i finally felt that she was ready for it. As I looked around for her, i found her nuzzling Huan, Karin's houndour. The pair of them barked and ran over when they saw me. I scratched Huan between his ears before turning to Lani. "I have a Rock Smash SM for you." She nodded, knowing that i had earned it for coming in second in the Solar Games as well as a dive and a cut SM. As soon as she learned the move I put the Fire Stone behind my back. "Do you still want to evolve?" I asked her. She gasped when she fully understood what i was asking. She turned to Huan who gave a supportive nodd. "Yeah, I want to evolve." "All right." I said. "I had been waiting because i didn't think that you were ready but now that i think you are..." with that i stopped talking and held out the fire stone. She gave Huan a nuzzle, as he gently licked her face. Then she stepped forward and touched the Fire Stone. Almost immediately, Lani was enveloped and a dazzling white glow. As we watched, the little puff of fur on her head grew longer until it was a mane, and her stripes became more pronounced as her muzzle elongated and was more pointy. Finally she began to grow. As I watched amazed, she was soon taller than i was and she was still growing. Finally the glow faded and she had grown into an beautiful Arcanine. She had a twinkle in her eyes and my eyes widened. She pounced and knocked me down and licked my face. Then she let me up and walked over to Huan.

(Ruki's POV)

When i heard Beaky what he said made sense but i didn't want to be laughed at anymore. Opening the pokeball up a crack, "Promise you want laugh?" I asked before closing it again.

[Linc]

-Linc-

"Hmm... what's wrong buddy? I thought you would be happy with all the dark Pokemon I have!" I said and scratched Baito between the ears. My new Mightyena's head was between his paws, and his eyes were closed. "Nothing." He said in a low tone. I frowned and placed my elbows on my knees, holding my head with my hands. I then looked up at the tree we were sitting under. The sunlight cascaded through the slits in the leaves, creating a heavenly presence under its mighty branches.

"Why don't you go help Archangel and Beaky, they're trying to get an Umbreon to talk. I'm sure that having another Pokemon there would help boost confidence!" I said and nudged Baito. He slowly opened his eyes, and got up, stretched his legs and walked over to Archangel and Beaky.

-Archangel-

"What are you doing here?" I hissed at Baito as he slowly walked over. Beaky turned. "Who's this?" He said and looked up. "It's just Baito, one of the team. You don't mind if he's here, do you?" I said. Beaky nodded. "Your trainer really likes dark ypes, doesn't he?" Beaky said, and turned back towards Ruki's Poke Ball.

"I promise, we won't laugh." He said and nealt towards the Poke Ball. The slit closed for a second, and then opened to its full extent, and a beam of red energy exploded out, and it began to take shape, revealing a shiny Umbreon with an Eevee mane. I smiled. Beaky jumped happily. "You look great Ruki! Much better than a normal Umbreon! The mane makes you look... uh... how should I say it-"
"Noble." Baito said. Ruki froze for a second, losing the smile on his face. "Who are they?" Ruki asked.
"These are Archangel and Baito, friends, their trainer is Linc, you may have heard of him. Archangel here helped me find you."
"Oh, well hello. Do you really think I look noble?"

Baito nodded silently. "well, me and Baito should be off now. Nice to meet you Ruki, see you guys." I said and flapped my wings, and shot into the air, and saw Baito slowly walk away.

-Baito-

"Nice job, Baito. Here, take this." Linc said and put his hand in his backpack, and pulled out a navy blue bandana. He placed it around my neck, and I smiled. I sniffed the air, and looked at the tree Linc was sitting under. I felt my tail become heavy as I charged my Iron Tail, and I spun around, smashing the tree with my tail, and leaves rustled, and Nightmare fell out, hitting the ground with a thud. She smiled and got back up, and spoke. "So, you like life as a tame Pokemon so far?" She said. I nodded.
"Well, then let's see how you fare in a battle in an environtment outside the South Caverns. I challenge you to a battle at the fair, no rules, just the first to get KO'd loses." She said and smiled.
"I accept. We battle tomorrow." I said and bounded away.

[Knight of Time]

My POV

Ah, the Eevee House was in my sights once again. After months of not being around here, I made the firm decision to stay with my true friends as much as I could. Unfortunately, one thing I just couldn't get over was the fact that I was missing all my old adopted/capturedPokemon too much, especially Chaos, my old adopted Houndour, who I almost had a chance to evolve and Cybertron, my old adopted Porygon2. But, now that I had a few all-new Pokemon companions, I calmly walked into the Eevee House for the first time in roughly two-thirds of a year, greeting many of my old friends happily. As I sat down on one of the sofas inside, I took out a Pokeball, enlarged it, and opened it up to reveal a male Skarmory who I had adopted days ago.

"Huh? Who are you?" the Skarmory asked.

"I'm DarkPrince, but many of my friends call me Kyle. I couldn't think of a name for you until now, but I think this name will suit you just fine. How about I call you Vector?" I asked my Skarmory.

"Not a bad name at all. I really like it. Vector it is!" declared Vector, smiling.

Introducing Vector to my old friends, I looked around the Eevee House to see if I could make a few new friends who I was not yet familiar with...

[Charizard04621]

Huan, the male Houndour's POV:

I was grinning from ear to ear. "Lani... You look absolutely stunning," I said. Arcanine were such beautiful creatures... I felt proud that she had the courage to evolve like that. Doing it took some guts.

Still smiling, I nuzzled her. I realized that she was a lot bigger than me now, and I'd have to tiptoe a bit to reach her face. It didn't matter to me, though. Her fur was so soft...

"Uh..." I brought up a topic that just came to mind. "I guess I can't catch you in tag, now, huh?"

[classy_cat18]

Casey's POV

I returned to the Eevee House after I helped catch some new Pokemon. I couldn't wait to see Mama and Daddy! I started running but Shonta called me back. "I have something for you." She pulled out a TM. "It's called Take Down. "It's stronger than a tackle, but it kinda hurts." She opened the box and turned on the TM. "Now run along and have fun. I have a Calm Mind TM for Kawaii."

I went back to running. I finally found Daddy, but I didn't recognize the Pokemon she was with. Then I remembered that it was an Arcanine, and that I would become one someday. I slowly walked up to the Arcanine. "Mama?"

Kawaii's POV

I stood in the shade of a large tree and looked out among the Pokemon. I enjoyed the break from Cloud and the other guys in my team. Shonta approached me as my eyes grew heavy and stroked my head. "Calm Mind," she said softly.

"Hmm?"

"I got you Calm Mind." She gave me a TM and sat next to me. Her eyes locked on the gold chain. "Nice. Who gave it to you?"

"My friend Jovi did. He also gave me this Status Coin, although I have no idea what it does."

"Must be a pretty good friend to give you such presents. Well, if you don't mind, I think I'll just hang out with you."

[Charizard04621]

Huan, the male Houndour's POV:

I grinned as I looked at our daughter; she was so energetic.

"Mama?" She asked tentatively.

"Yes, this is your mother," I answered her. Walking up to Casey, I nuzzled her softly. "She just evolved. One day, you'll be a graceful Arcanine like her." I gazed at Lani smiling, with light in my eyes. She was so beautiful...

[Wolfsong]

(Colby’s POV)

“Hey Tiny, let’s go find Amy?” “Why?” “Because I heard that she got us each a TM.” “Really?” “Yep.” I replied with a grin before taking off running with Tiny in hot pursuit. I saw Amy, so I slammed on the brakes, unfortunately, Tiny didn’t see Amy or me stop, and he plowed into me sending us hurtling into Amy knocking her down. “Oops…” I said. Amy just chuckled as she got back to her feet and brushed herself off. “Try to be a bit more careful in the future.” she advised as she picked up her bag. Reaching inside, she pulled out two TM boxes. “While you’re both here, I got these for you the other day.” she explained as she handed us each an identical TM box. “I got each of you an Odor Sleuth TM. “Thanks, I told her while taking mine.” I hit Tiny with my tail, and he just gave her a grin. When Amy was out of earshot, I turned to look at Tiny. “Aren’t you ever going to talk to her?” “Yeah, but only when I feel that I’m ready. I just don’t feel like it right now.” I nodded and gave my brother a nuzzle. “It’s all right, I understand.

(Nuria’s POV)

As I was staring up at the flying pokemon, a skarmory and a pidgey seemed to collide. The pidgey then landed with a loud crash beside me causing me to jump backwards in alarm. “Er, sorry about that.” the pidgey apologized. “It’s quite all right,” I told her. “My name is Nuria.” “Mine’s Ryau.” “Nice to meet you,” I said as I returned my gaze up to the rafters. “So, what’s it like to actually be able to fly?” I asked.

(Darin’s POV)

I looked over at Harle. “Food… where’s the kitchen? Want to go there?” I nodded my head yes. My ears flicked this way and that, as I sniffed the air trying to locate where the source of the food was. Harle seemed to sense it about the same time that I did. Looking at each other, we nodded, taking off towards the source of the tantalizing smells.

(Zale’s POV)

I nodded at Lyra and smiled, before heading off to the storage closet. Halfway there, I glanced back, before continuing on my way. Once I had reached the closet, I groaned. Someone had moved the kiddie pool way to the back of the closet. I eventually made my way over to the pool and began to extricate it from the closet.

(Angel’s POV)

When Daddy took off, I tried to follow him but the blue thingy he called Lyra had a hold of me. I settled down though I tried to scratch my head but I was unable to. She was talking to me. I wasn’t sure exactly what she was saying but, “B…” I tried to say and looked up at her.[/color]

(Flame’s POV)

When Naurmir took off running, I took to the air and followed him For a little while, I watched him and grinned when I notice the plants sprouting as he ran past. When he stopped and turned to look at them, they changed. I flew over to where he was and landed. “Nice. Grass typed.” I said and Naurmir jumped. “That’s a good one. It’ll be really helpful.” My son looked up at me. “What kind do you have?” he asked. “Water.” I answered before watering the plants that Naurmir had created with his hidden power. “So, do you like it?” I asked him.

(Jovi’s POV)

I was outside practicing in the training area when a shadow from above caught my attention. I quickly looked up and managed to get a glimpse of a pidgeot before it disappeared into the bush. Could that have been? Nah, I thought as I pushed the idea that it could have been Mom out of my mind. Lani and I hadn’t heard from her in a long time.

I closed my eyes as I concentrated on building the electricity up in my fur. I took a deep breath before opening my eyes. Then aiming, I released the bolt of electrical energy into a single bolt that slammed into the target. “Nice.” I said happily with both the power and the accuracy of that thunderbolt. Suddenly, I froze. I had heard a twig snap. Turning towards the source of the sound, I saw an umbreon disappear into the foliage.

My eyes widened. I spun around and ran inside the Eevee House. I saw Lani with Huan and Casey. I noticed that Amy had finally let her evolve she had been talking about it with me and Amy. She hadn’t told anyone else that she was wanting too. Dad was busy with Flare, Cara and my new little half brother. I needed to go somewhere private where I could think. I saw Kawaii out of the corner of my eye. She was looking in my direction but I don’t know if she saw me or not. I quickly took off using my extremespeed. I just had to go somewhere where I could think.

(Ruki’s POV)

I heard Beaky say “I promise we won’t laugh.” When he said that, I finally decided to come out. Upon materialization, Beaky seemed to like my new look. It wasn’t until one of the other pokemon that was around spoke that I realized that we weren’t alone. “Who are they?” I asked ready to retreat back into my pokeball the instant anyone laughed. Luckily, no one did. After Beaky explained who they were, the two dark types left.

Amy upon noticing that i was out of my pokeball came over. “Glad to see that you are out and about.” Turning to Beaky, she told him thanks. Then she pulled something out of her bag and placed it around my neck. When I looked down, I noticed that it was a collar. “I got that for you before… before the incident. But I haven’t had a chance to give it to you until now.” After Amy had explained that, she walked away.

I looked over at Beaky again. “So you really think that I look okay?” He nodded in agreement as he answered with a “Yeah.” Grinning, I leaped into the air and pounced on him. “Ack,” Beaky managed to get out a split second before I landed on him. “You’re it.” I called over my shoulder as I took off running.

(Lani’s POV)

“Lani… you look absolutely stunning,” Huan told me. I immediately began blushing. He then began to nuzzle me and I nuzzled him back. A few minutes later, he stopped and looked up at me. Uh... I guess I can't catch you in tag, now, huh?" “Maybe, maybe not.” I said with a twinkle present in my eyes. “Wanna find out?” However, our game of tag seemed to be put on hold as Casey came running over. She happily ran over to Huan and nuzzled him. Casey looked at me and then to Huan. Then she slowly approached me. “Mama?” she asked tentatively. “Yes, this is your mother," Huan answered as he walked over to Casey, and nuzzled her. "She just evolved. One day, you'll be a graceful Arcanine like her." Huan replied as he looked over at me and I could feel my blush deepening. I gave Lani a nuzzle myself. “I may look different, but I’m still the same old me. So do you like it?” I asked her.

(Dakota’s POV)

“Where’s Mommy?” Aiko asked. She was perched on top of my head looking out between my ears. “She should be around here somewhere.” I answered, as I walked back into the Eevee House. Aiko had had to return home so that she could find her earring. She had taken it off when she was playing with Angel and forgot to put it back on. Aiko had refused to stop crying until I had taken her home and gotten the earring back for her. I almost had a heart attack when I entered. Lani was with Huan, but she had evolved. Now she was a whole lot bigger and stronger than I was and who knew what she would do. I saw Ai a little ways off staring into space. I shook myself as Aiko held on. “Do it again Daddy!” “Later,” I told her as I trotted over to Ai. “A penny for your thoughts…” No response. Aiko then noticed her mom and jumped down from my back with a happy squeal. “Mommy!” she shouted happily as she pounced on Ai. Needless to say, that got a reaction.

[Charizard04621]

Naurmir, the male Charmander's POV:

I clapped my hands happily as my dad watered the flowers. "Do it again!" I urged, then danced around as I made shoots sprout out of the ground. Their faces opened yellow, red, lavender, white, sky blue... I couldn't believe that I had this kind of power. I finally could do something that Aglárien couldn't, and I wasn't jealous of her, but rather proud of myself, proud that I might have a chance to keep up with my sister after all. “Daddy! I can make flowers!” I smiled, then grabbed playfully at his tail.

Ai, the female Skitty’s POV:

I hadn’t seen Dakota in a long time. He was a strong Mightyena, a tall, handsome figure that I’d missed a lot. Truthfully, I was a little mad that he hadn’t come to see me earlier. He asked me a question but I pretended not to hear.

He did come, though, and I couldn’t stay mad for long; Aiko pounced on me squealing “Mommy!” and I forgot all about being cranky.

“My dear little Aiko,” I smiled, playing with the hair on her head. I rubbed my paw against the back of her ears and then started to tickle her. “Why didn’t you come see your mother sooner?”

[Linc]

.:Cara:.

"Well Mom, me and Hakan should be going. I'll see you later." I said. Mom looked back and nodded. "By honey!" She said, and I turned around and walked off.

I decided to look for Static. I figured he'd be at either the Training Area, the Kitchen, or just walking around. I looked in the Training Area first, and saw him launch a black Thunderbolt at a target, and hit it dead-on.

"Mind if I join you?" I said and placed Hakan on the ground. "Nope. Watch this!" He said and charged another Thunderbolt, but aimed towards a target that he turned a little. When he fired, it bounced off, hit another target, and then hit a tree.

I smiled. "Watch and learn!" I said, and blasted a flurry of Embers at the same target, which bounced off the next into another, and they kept bouncing everywhere. Suddenly, a blast of water flew out towards the targets and collided with my Ember attack.

I froze and looked at Hakan, who was smiling and gigling with a blue aura around him. "He learnt to do his Hidden Power!" I said and nuzzled him. He smiled and fired a Hidden Power into the air, which exploded and rained water from above. Static smiled. Suddenly, I heard a voice in my mind. <Cara! Get Static and Hakan, Galenia and Aeragorn's egg is hatching!> It said, and I realized it was Rayku. I looked at Static, who must have heard it also, and I placed Hakan on my back again and used my Quick Attack to weave aroudn the building, and skidded to a halt near Linc, who had the group huddled around him.

I edged closer and saw it. There was a long crack in it, and every once in a while, it glowed light green. "What? Why is it doing that?" I said. Rayku looked at me and smiled. "Dragon energy. Its exploding with the power of Dragons." I remembered when Sai, the delivery Swellow, delivered the egg. He had a Salamence with him, and he said it was because there were some attacks in the sky lately. The Salamence accidentally fired a Hidden Power: Dragon, and the egg somehow absorbed the energy.

Rayku looked at me. "That Salamence somehow changed the egg's traits. It shouldn't do anything major, but I read the thing inside, and it's still gonna be a Pidgey." She said and smiled.

Suddenly, spikes of dragon energy tore through the shell. Green streams of flames wrapped around the spikes, and Dragon energy poured from the egg onto the ground, and covered everything around with a green light. Soon, more cracks appeared, and the egg soon exploded with green flames. In its place sat a small Pidgey, its eyes closed, and its wings were closed upon its body.

Then I noticed something. Its wings, for some reason, were a bit larger than they should have been, along with the tail feathers, but not too noticeable,probably only two inches longer. But the thing that really surprised me was that its pupils were a bit thinner than they should have been, like a serpent's but then returned back to normal. Linc walked over to ti and cleaned it, and examined it. "It's a girl." He said and picked her up. her eyes fluttered open,but it still was not moving to much, except for ruffling her feathers, and adjusting her position a little. She then looked up slowly, and yawned, in the process, launching a small blast of green fire. "What do you know? Her Hidden Power is Dragon typed!" Linc said and smiled. Linc held it close to him. "I'll call her... Everwing." He said. We all smiled.

[Wolfsong]

(Flame's POV)

I chuckled, it seemed that Naurmir did indeed like his birthday present. As soon as i had watered the planted created by his hidden power he danced around happily asking me to do it again and making more flowers sprout. I happily obliged him and watered the flowers before Naurmir ran behind me and playfully grabbed ahold of my tail. Making sure that he had a firm grip on it first, i then lifted him up and placed him on my shoulder with my tail. "That was fun!" he cried happily.

(Aiko's POV)

“My dear little Aiko, why didn’t you come see your mother sooner?” Mommy asked as she messed with the fur on my head. I giggled as she tickled me. "Daddy been teaching me to make the sun fall and the rain shine." I told Mommy proudly with a huge smile on my face. She looked a bit confused at first but then smiled and nodded as if someone had told her somethign but i hadn't heard a word.

(Dakota's POV)

I smiled to myself as Aiko tried to explain that i was helping her learn Sunny Day and Rain Dance. Of course with her still being a kid she got it mixed up and Ai looked confused. <She means i was teaching her to make the sun shine and the rain fall. In other words Sunny Day and Rain Dance.> I explained to Ai using my hidden power. Ai nodded and grinned. <She picked up Sunny Day extremely fast but it isn't surprising seeing as her hidden power type is fire.> I smiled a sad smile. "I'm sorry that i haven't been here in a while, but i did get you a little something. I know that it doesn't excuse the fact, but i hope you like it. It's a hidden power TM." I pulled the box out of my fur where i had stuck it and handed it to Ai. Aiko grinned and looked up at Ai. "Open it Mommy! It got to be good. Daddy wouldn't get nothing bad to you."

[*Murkrow]

~Ryau~

“What’s it like? Well, it’s…”
I paused for a second, realising that I had never really considered it. Flying was just…natural to me.
“It’s great, it just feels right. Though I’ve only just really started flying properly. That was awful, not being able to fly….uh”
She sighed at that, looking forlorn; wincing at what I’d said, I noticed Deveus trotting over and motioning to Rage and Caelest, both who promptly spun round and flew in the direction he had come from.
Actually, seeing Rage brought an idea to my mind.
“Well, if you want to fly, and you’d be willing to put up with his attitude, I might be able to sweet-talk Rage into giving you a lift. What do you think?”
Even as I spoke, Rage came flapping back, laughing over something, followed at a distance by Caelest.
“Hey kiddo, now I can really fly.”
“He means he just learnt Fly.”
Caelest muttered, landing beside us.
“And I just learnt Sweet Scent.”
“Oh, right.…Rage? Can you do me a favour? I was wondering if you’d give Nuria here a ride for a while?”
He fell silent, surveyed me for a second, then shrugged and dropped down beside us.
“May as well.”
“You up for a ride, Nuria?”

~Harlequin~

Darting beside Darin’s side, the two of us noticed the half-open door at the same time, through which the enticing smells were leaking. Darin grinned at me, before we automatically began to race towards it.
He pulled ahead immediately, but I might not have lost that badly if Fizz hadn’t chosen to dive bomb me from the ceiling, resulting in me tumbling into a heap on the floor.
As she flew off looking very pleased with herself, I dragged myself back up and limped over to rejoin Darin, who’d stopped at the entrance and was grinning as I approached.
“Ouch.”

~Latino~

I almost died of laughing after Fizz dived at Harlequin, but before I could do anything else, my eye was caught by a glint of light reflecting off of a Skarmory that was hanging around by some guy I vaguely recognised seeing here before.
Surveying him curiously for a second, another flash of light caught his Skarmory; chuckling, I leapt away from the rafter, drawn instinctively towards the spark.
Diving down, he suddenly turned and saw me; stalling for a second, I managed to stop in time and hovered in front of him, trying to regain my dignity.
“Er, hi. I’m Latino. Haven’t seen you around here before.”

[Charizard04621]

Nuria, the female Charmander's POV:

"Wow, really?" I asked, looking in awe at the majestic Skarmory. He had his powerful wings spread out. Normally the blades would have seemed a little intimidating, but I was overwhelmed by the thought of flying. I wondered how long it would be until I had wings of my own.

For a moment I thought I'd lost my voice; I was so excited. But then I managed to speak my answer. "I'd love to fly," I said, and hopped onto the metallic falcon's back.

Ai, the female Skitty's POV:

I smiled at Dakota; I'd realized that it didn't matter that he hadn't been there, only that he was here now. "It's all right," I said, nuzzling him. "I guess you've been busy with things. I'm just glad I have time with you now." I tickled Aiko some more, then pawed at the box while she watched excitedly.

The light surrounded me, and when it faded I felt that I was no longer the same. Something inside of me had awakened, something that had laid buried before, hidden away from sight and touch.

Curious to find out what my Hidden Power was, I tried to tap into my energy resources, and without realizing it, I splashed everyone around me with water. I guess that answered my question. "I'm so sorry!" I apologized, looking at the drenched Dakota. Aiko seemed to enjoy it, though; she was giggling uncontrollably.

[classy_cat18]

Beaky's POV

I chuckled to myself as Ruki ran off. "He's still the same kid, although he got a little too heavy for the pouncing thing," I said to myself. I raised my wings, getting ready to fly after him, when I saw Cinder in the corner of my eye. "What do you want?"

"Wow. Didn't know that you had a soft spot for kids. No wonder you're so sweet around Casey."

I puffed my feathers. "Is that the only reason you're here? To make fun of me?"

"No!" he shouted defensively. "Well, yeah."

"Buzz off. I'm gonna play with Ruki a bit."

"Aren't you a little old to be playing with him?" I growled at him. "Fine! Just meet me at the training area. Don't want to be rusty when it's time for battle, do you?" He left me, and I left to search for Ruki.

Casey's POV

I looked up at Mama. She looked so big and powerful. "You look so cool, Mama! I'm going to be just like you one day! I'm gonna go train right now!" I saw Uncle Cinder run past me and followed him.

Uncle Cinder stopped when he saw me. "Whoa, where's the fire?"

I cocked my head at him. "There's no fire. You're so silly! Could you help me train?"

"Sure! We'll start with this dummy. I heard Shonta gave you Take Down. Just tackle that thing as hard as you can."

"Okay!" I charged at the dummy and hit it as hard as I could. It fell to the ground. But my paws hurt as I landed on the ground. "Ow! What happened? Did I do it wrong?"

"No, Casey. It just hurts a bit to do Take Down. But it hurts your opponent even more."

Kawaii's POV

I saw a yellow blur pass my eyes. I wasn't sure, but it could've been Jovi. "Jovi?"

Shonta looked up at me. "I see that blush. That Pokemon's your boyfriend!" She laughed out loud.

That only made me blush more. "That's not funny!" I kicked her lightly. Now my peace was disturbed. I decided to try out my Calm Mind and closed my eyes. All of a sudden the world got quiet. I could only hear my breathing. I felt a strong psychic presence behind me. I knew that the black Kadabra that I call Papa was watching me.

(Dakota's POV)

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when Ai tried to tap into her hidden power. One thing for sure i wasn't expecting was to get soaking wet. "Yow, thats cold." I said. Immediately, Ai apologized. "I'm so sorry!" "Don't worry about it i said, with a twinkle in my eye. I pulled Ai close and gave her a hug and got her wet as well. Then i let her go and shook myself dry, which caused Ai to burst out laughing when my fur stood out in every which direction. I quickly smoothed it down before giving her another hug. "You are so beautiful." I whispered in her ear. She really was. "How are you doing?" I asked her. By now, Aiko was busy chasing her tail and she wasn't paying much attention to us at the moment.

(Ruki's POV)

I had to admit my darker fur made it easier for me to hide. I was hiding in the shadows as I waited for Beaky. I wondered if he could find me. I had found a decent hiding space in the shadows. I smiled, pleased with myself. Of course I forgot about my rings, i hadn't learned to control them yet.

(Jovi's POV)

I made it to the secret spot before i stopped. By now i was out of breath because i had raced straight her. That couldn't have been her. She left us for a life in the wild and never so much stopped in for a visit. If it was Mom, why would she be checking up on me now after being gone for so long. "What is going on?" I finally asked no one in particular. Then i heard a tree branch snap and i spun around. No one could have followed me becuase i was moving to fast to be seen, as well as going the round about way so it had to be one of the only few that knew the location of this place. I turned around to see who it was.

Connors POV

As a matter of correct ettiquete, I removed my sunglasses before entering the Eevee House. The doors seemed to swing open easilly, probably caused by a mix of adrenaline and nerves surrounding my first time into the Eevee House.

I heard Maria give off a slight gasp at the mere atmosphere of the area we had just entered - Pokemon of all varities and from all regions of Ulthuan were scuttling around the place, their trainers close behind.

Dante remained emotionless. Following his abandonment and immediate adoption at the Dragon Tamers Adoption Center, he was most obviously traumatized by the incident. I wasnt quite sure as to what I should do as his new trainer, and battled myself with the thought that I wasnt good enough to be anyones trainer.

Maria easilly found a fresh patch of grass to sit on. It felt like a cushion, adding to the serene experience like frosting on a Birthday cake. "So..." I turned to both Maria and Dante. "This is it."

[Cheesey]

My POV

As I was walking out of the Eevee House with Imarad, I bumped into her and stumbled as she stopped dead in her tracks. "What's wrong?" I asked her quietly. She was breathing very quietly and glaring to her right.
"Over there. They're looking at us."
"... Oh, don't be silly, Imarad. That's Connor. He's been part of the Dragon Tamers for years. You won't know him, though.

I walked over to Connor sitting on the grass with his two pokemon. "Hi," I said, rather sheepishly. "Haven't seen you here in a while. How've you been lately?"

As I spoke to Connor I let out my Blissey, Hera, and my Togetic, Quartz, to get some fresh air. They started to speak to Maria quite cheerfully; I knew they'd be friendly and welcoming. I couldn't say the same thing for Imarad, though, who was sitting on the grass in front of me pickig away at the grass to try and contain her frustration of being held up. She wanted to go and sort out the Smeargle she'd heard about - she didn't have any time for dilly dallying! I didn't really mind though, as Imarad really does need to learn that she can't get everything all the time and she must have patience. Besides, Hera, Quartz and Maria seemed to be getting on really well, and I hadn't spoken to Connor in ages...

[Pidgeot]

Connors POV

I would be a moron not to notice the connection between Maria and Chris' Pokemon, however I was distracted. It was difficult trying to be nice to Chris and carry a conversation, while still worrying about Dante. He had sat next to a lake, watching several Magicarp jump in the distance.

"Could you excuse me for a minute?" I asked before going to sit next to him. Dante turned to me, "Why Connor?". A feeling of bewilderment came over me. I had no idea what he was talking about, let alone an answer to his question. Instead, I looked back. Maria was having the time of her life with Hera and Quartz.

I turned to Dante, "She looks happy. Would it be wrong?". Not expecting an answer, I was shocked when Dante turned to me, looked me in the eye, and spoke, "I dont think its your decesion to make."

[Cheesey]

My POV

I sat on the grass, my knees folded up and my arms wrapped around them. I watched Hera and Quartz with Maria; it made me happy to see them playing so happily. The two of them seemed to have instantly clicked with Maria in the same way that they did when they first met each other. Then I turned my head down to Connor and Dante. I wondered if he was okay... Dante, I mean. He seemed unhappy, although I'm sure I don't know the whole story. I rubbed my eyes and took a look at Imarad, who had calmed down by now. She was lying on the ground, practically falling asleep. I brushed her fur, which wasn't as bristly as it normally is.

But I think Imarad had fallen asleep. So again, I had a look at the three playful pokemon about a metre away from me. Quartz and Maria were both flying about above Hera's head, and Hera was laughing. A lot. It somewhat took me by surprise that they were all so happy together; Hera and Quartz had grown so close, and yet, they were so willing to accept someone new. It was simply a lovely sight to see.

Connors POV

"Do you want to come with me?" I asked Dante. "Im fine." he replied, his voice seemingly softer than the rest of our previous conversation. Maria glanced up as I motioned for her to come and speak to me. Chris remained in the grass, lying down and by the looks of things, Hera and Quartz were decidedly peeved for me to have taken away their new friend.

"Listen, Maria. Um, you've been with me for what, a year or so now?" She nodded. "Ive been talking, well, communicating with Dante. Are you happy with me as your trainer?" Maria coiled her long body, her wings folding themselves in. She looked at me, puzzled.
"Where are you going with this Connor?"
"Ill be straight with you Maria. Im beginning to develop doubts with my own skills as a trainer. Chris, however, is a wonderfull trainer, as you can see. His relationship with his Pokemon is strong, he trains them well, and Ive noticed you seem to have a connection with Hera and Quartz." It was difficult to get the words out of my mouth.
"Are you saying you dont want me anymore Connor?"
"Im saying that Chris would be a much better trainer for you than me. Your special Maria, I dont deserve you. You deserve to be with a much more skilled trainer. Do you want to join Chris' party?" A single tear rolled down my face.
"Connor, you are a great trainer. Ive learned so much from you, and I do understand that change can be a good thing. With your blessings I would love to join Chris' team. Thank you for this oppourtunity Connor, but shouldnt we ask Chris first?"

We made our way over to Chris, who was now sitting up. He told both Maria and I of how he had overheard our conversation. "So would you like to take Maria then, Chris?" I asked, Maria hovering in the air slightly, a look of anxiousness on her pure white face.

[Cheesey]

My POV

I stood up. I'm not entirely sure why; maybe it was just because I felt that it'd make me feel like I'd be able to take in this shocking question more easily.

"Are you really sure? I would be so glad to accept Maria into my team if you feel like it's the right thing to do and you seem to feel really strongly about it... And Maria's happy with it too?"

As I was talking my brain felt like it was whirring about in my head like an electric whisk when it's mixing up some cake mixture. Yes, I know my comparisons are weird. But still, it was difficult to take it in and such an amazing offer was too good to turn down. I couldn't believe I was being offered such a great pokemon; the future could be very interesting with her. I eagerly awaited Connor's response, and whther Maria would become a part of my team permanently.

[Pidgeot]

Connors POV

I looked at Maria as she looked at me. It was a two way system - she was happy because I was happy, and I was happy because she was happy. Both of us knew the invitation would bring exciting new prospects and challenges to our life as Dragon Tamers, that we were both willing to accept.

"Its fine with me Chris, how about you Maria?" Maria nodded. A smile was developing on her face as the "transaction" took place. I looked over towards Dante, who was watching from afar. It was shocking to see how he was also smiling - the first sign of emotion he had expressed since when I adopted him.

"Maria, you've been a great Pokemon and it has been an honour to fight alongside you. Its a guarantee that we will hang out, here, at the Eevee house, in the future, but for now I would like you to have this to assist you on your Journey." From my backpack, I opened a TM case and pulled out a golden disk. "This is Zap Cannon. When you use it, remember me."
