Club: Eevee House (MA) Vs. 26

[classy_cat18]

Lily's POV

"It's been a while since I've been in a battle, Trinity," I said to her as we walked around the Eevee House.

"You have no right to complain. I'm the one that's had only one battle since I've been with Shonta."

We were walking around the Eevee House for new friends. Actually, Trinity was looking for just guys for some reason. I was looking for someone to play with so Trinity wouldn't be bothered. And I saw her: an Oddish sitting on the lap of a human. She looked a little sad, though. I ran over to her. "Hi. My name's Lily. I'm an Oddish, too! What's your name?"

Trinity's POV

I found him. There he was! An absolutely cute black Arcanine was standing before my eyes and there was no one with him! I took a few steps back and immediately felt myself being pulled back. It was Moriko, and she was wearing that stupid grin on her face. "Are you crazy? I'm flirting here!" I told her.

She looked over my shoulder. "That guy? Drop it. Someone beat you to it, trust me."

My heart dropped. "He's...taken?"

"Yeah. But I always wanted to talk to him. I heard he's really strong. Wait here while I get some fighting tips!" She shoved me aside and marched up to the Arcanine. "Aren't you Blazer? Amy's Arcanine? I'm Moriko. Nice to meet you." She took his paw and shook it.

Cloud's POV

"Wow. We both got it bad. But we can't give up. In fact, I'm starting by apologizing to Kawaii!" I looked down from the roof. "Think you could get me down?"

[Sheik]

Jay's POV

After looking around for a bit, I noticed that Shonta had arrived. I set down Chlo, and stood up. Before approaching her, I picked up Banx, and beckoned all my Pokemon to follow me. I went up to Shonta. "Hello," I said.

"Hi," she replied. "So these are you Pokemon?" I nodded. She eyes Banx, then crouched down to take a look at Brandi and Matthias. A Ninetales was sitting to Shonta's right. Every now and then, the Ninetales would look over at a Heracross that was shaking hands with Blazer, Amy's Arcanine. I almost sensed a tinge of jealousy in the Ninetales' expression.

"Is that your Ninetales?" I asked. She stood up straight, and looked down at the Ninetales.

"Yeah, her name's Trinity," she said. I looked Trinity over and tried to imagine Trinity as Brandi. That's what Brandi would become when she evolved. I wondered how she felt about it. I glanced down at Matthias, and noticed that he was staring at Trinity. When Trinity looked at him, he hurriedly looked away. I managed to supress a laugh. 'So it seems Matthias has a little infatuation with a certain Pokemon,' I thought.

Brandi's POV

So that's a Ninetales--that's what Jay had talked about when he told me about evolving. I gathered that her name was Trinity. She looked so much older and mature than I was... and she had to be at least 10 times more beautiful. I wanted to say something to her, anything, but the words wouldn't come out right. My throat was dry, and I knew if I tried to say anything, no sound would come.

She looked away, towards a Heracross, and then at an Arcanine. She eyed the Arcanine longingly. ...So she likes him... "What do you think of that Arcanine?" I asked her, trying to strike up a conversation. "He's brilliant, isn't he?" Trinity looked down at me....

"He's more than brilliant, kid... He's amazing, attractive... he's..." she trailed off. I knew what she was thinking, but I wasn't rude enough to say it. You want him, don't you?

"By the way, my name's Brandi... nice to meet you," I said cordially.

"I'm Trinity... it's a pleasure," she replied.

Matthias's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. She was so beautiful... yet I wasn't even a glint in her eye. She was... words couldn't describe her insurmountable beauty.

[Knight of Time]

Kyle's POV

Things were going excellent for me. Days after the birth of my fourth and final Eevee, Espio, I was ready to help one of the members of my Eevee "quartet" evolve, and I reached into my backpack to get the Fire Stone I recently forged for myself. A few seconds later, I turned towards the sleeping Blazer, and I gently rubbed him on the head.

"Hi Kyle. What's up?" Blazer asked, yawning from his nap.

"I've got two surprises for you Blazer. But for me to give you one of them, I hope you don't mind evolving into a Flareon now so that you can make use of this surprise. I have a Fire Stone if you're ready." I said.

"Wow, two surprises! Let me guess, the first surprise for me is the Fire Stone?" Blazer asked curiously.

"Yes, indeed. Here you go." I said as I dropped the evolution stone near Blazer's forepaws.

"Hey, I think my mother should see this. What do you think?" Blazer said.

"I agree. Amy, can you let out Sweetie please?" I shouted.

"She's by the pool." Amy replied.

Moving towards the Espeon with Blazer at my side, I watched as she turned around.

Blazer's POV

"Mom, guess what?" I said excitedly.

"What is it?" Sweetie replied.

"Kyle, my trainer, has decided to help me evolve." I said.

"Evolve into what?" Sweetie asked curiously.

"A Flareon. Kyle also told me that he has a second surprise for me, but he said that I can't make use of it unless I evolve." I said.

"Oh, I understand. Maybe someday your brothers and sister may evolve too." Sweetie said with a smile.

"Yeah. I'm very sure Kyle will help them evolve too. Well, I think I better go back to Kyle. After all, I can hardly wait for my second surprise!" I said excitedly.

"Okay. This I have to see." Sweetie declared.

Kyle's POV

Noticing that Blazer was done chatting with his mother, I watched as he turned around and moved towards me.

"Blazer, I assume you are ready to evolve now, right?" I asked my first Eevee curiously.

"Yeah, I'm ready now." Blazer declared.

Carefully dropping the Fire Stone in front of Blazer, I watched as he touched it with one of his forepaws. Seconds later, he began to glow white, and his body started to grow a bit bigger. The glowing process soon stopped, and I smiled at my newly evolved Flareon.

"Wow, I definitely feel stronger now. May I have this second surprise now that I am a Flareon, please?" Blazer asked.

"Yes, you definitely may Blazer. Hang on, I'll get it for you." I said.

"Okay Kyle." Blazer replied.

Going back to my backpack, I pulled out my new heat resistant gloves, put them on, and took out a small, insulated box. Opening it up to reveal a bright orange powder, I inspected it, realizing it was very hot!

"Great, it seems like my surprise may be a little too hot to handle, Blazer. No matter, it won't stop me from giving it to you." I said.

Moving the box just above Blazer's body, I took a big handful of the fiery hot powder, and sprinkled it onto Blazer.

"Hey, this powder's quite hot. Why is that?" Blazer asked me curiously.

"This powder will enable you to use a move that my old Houndour, Chaos once knew. It's called Will-o-Wisp. It's hot because it burns your opponent in a battle if you are successful at using the move. Just be careful not to accidently burn me, okay?" I asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful with it near you. Thanks for this surprise!" Blazer said with a bright smile.

"You're very welcome Blazer." I said, as I went back to the couch to relax...

[classy_cat18]

Shonta's POV

"That's sweet! You know, Trinity's doesn't have a lot of friends outside the team. Now where's the rest of my team? Lily, could you round 'em up?"

Lily nodded and ran off. A few minutes later she came back, soaking wet and with Jewel, Beacon, and Athena. "Jewel didn't want to come out of the swimming pool," she explained while she shook off."

"This is the rest of my adoptee team," I told Jay. "This is Jewel, Beacon, and Athena. Girls, this is Jay and his team."

Trinity's POV

I sat with Brandi and eyed Blazer. "Why did he have to be taken?" I asked myself softly. "I guess I should stop staring at him." I turned around and bumped into a Growlithe. He was staring at me like I was probably staring at Blazer. "Can I help you with something?" I was not in a very good mood.

"Trinity! Manners!" Athena hissed at me. Man, she acted like my mom!

"Sorry. Hi. My name's Trinity," I said as kindly as I could.

[Sheik]

Jay's POV

"Neither does Brandi. She mainly talks with Matthias, my Growlithe," I replied, looking down at Matthias to see a look of shock. I guess Trinity had said something to him, but it wasn't a good thing. I watched as Trinity spoke softly to him, then began to walk away; Brandi decided to chase after her. Matthias on the otherhand, was looking at Trinity with regret and sorrow. "I'm sorry Brandi didn't greet you," I said to Athena, Beacon, Jewel, and Lily. They looked back at me, and didn't seem to mind. "I think it's great that my Pokemon can make friends with other trainers' Pokemon."

Brandi's POV

I caught up with Trinity as she walked out onto the balcony. "What's wrong?" I asked in the most caring voice I could muster. I wanted to show Trinity my concern. She continued to fall silent, and stared at the sky. "Do you need some time alone?" I pressed.

She shook her head. "No... you can stay... if you would like," she said. With that, I watched the night with her.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her. She didn't answer me quickly. It appeared that she was thinking.

Matthias' POV

I felt so horrible! I must have been gawking at her so much that it offended her. I watched as she left, and Brandi was walking close behind. "Don't worry," said a voice. I looked over to see a Starmie. I was half afraid, half cautious. "She's not mad at you... she's just having a tough time. She'll come around." All I could do is hope so, because I didn't believe in love at first sight... until now.

Chlo's POV

I walked up to the Oddish cautiously. If what Anna had told me was right, which I hoped it was, then I could make friends. The memory of the Hoppip accident still lingered in my mind, and I wondered if I'd ever have a friend that was a plant like me. I shook leaves with her, and said, "Hi... I'm Chlo. What's your name?"

"I'm Lily," Lily replied with a smile. I smiled back. It seemed that I could make firends... maybe it wasn't me... maybe it was just the Hoppips. I felt a sudden warmth of having finally met a Pokemon like myself... exactly like myself.

Aurora's POV

I turned to see that Jay was talking to a trainer, and there were Pokemon at their feet. Chlo was talking to another Oddish, and was meeting all new Pokemon. I didn't want to be left out, so I headed over in their direction. I noticed a Starmie talking to Matthias. I just sat around in the water, watching everyone as they talked. The Starmie caught sight of me, and hovered over toward me.

"Hello," it said, "is that your trainer?" I nodded.

"Yeah... and I take it that that trainer is yours?" I asked. "Yep," said the Starmie.

"I'm Aurora, and I'm a Lapras. I see that you're a Starmie. What's your name?" I asked her, getting a conversation going.

"I'm Jewel," it replied.

[Linc]

.:Archangel:.

I smiled when Ruki emerged from the shadows. Beaky was relieved. "Hey Ruki!" I said and flew over to him. Ruki gasped, and seemed if he forgot me for a moment, and then remembered who i was. "Oh, hello." He said. I smiled. Suddenly, Beaky spoke to me. "Archangel, could we talk outside for a sec?" he said. I nodded, and followed him our the window. "We'll be back in a sec." He said to Ruki.

I landed softly on the ground, and picked at my wings with my beak. "So, what's up buddy?" I said and smiled. Beaky began to frown. "What was that about? It's bad enough to be frightened without having someone make fun of you about it!" He said. I froze for a second. "I was just joking!" I said. He was glaring at me. "I think you take your joking a little too extreme." He said.
"I... I'm sorry."
"Well... could you just leave me alone for a while?"

I took a step back. He was mad, I could tell. My Hidden Power suddenly activated by itself, and it was reading his mind without meaning to. He was mad. "I was just trying to lighten you up... you always seem so grumpy."
"Well, your not too perfect either." He shouted.

I suddenly felt my eyes water. I felt somewhat... different. I had no intentions of joking anymore. Suddenly, i felt tears comeout my eyes. "I just want a friend... in the wild, I had none." I said. I was getting extremely sad about this. Why was I? I thought to myself. Do I have feelings for him? I said in my mind. I then realized I did. He gasped when he saw me cry. "I... I didn't want to make you cry." He said.
"It's okay... I... I just have... I don't know..."
"I guess you can stay... just let me talk to Ruki alone for a little... I'll call you when you can come back in." He said and went back in the room.

[Meowth_Kitten]

[Jesse's POV]

Well, I guess Sugar was around after all. Tara had gotten us so excited about visiting the House again, I was really looking forward to seeing Sugar again, but I couldn't find her! Hopefully they would show up soon...

In the mean time, I noticed an unfamiliar Eevee. Turns out, he was about to evolve into a Flareon, like myself. I watched with interest as he conversed with his trainer, then his mother, and then his trainer again, finally making the big move. It seemed to have gone great. I thought I might go introduce myself to him and find out what he was like.

I strolled across the perimeter of the big room, past Blazer's trainer, Kyle. I didn't think he knew who I was, but I smiled at him as I walked past. Eventually I found myself by the new Flareon's side. When he noticed me, I began to speak.

"Hi, my name is Jesse. I saw you just evolved, feels cool, doesn't it? Hah, you've got to try this trick."

Blazer looked at me curiously. I grinned and took a deep breath of air and swallowed it. Seconds later, I belched loudly, a large flame tumbling out of my mouth. As soon as it began, the flames died down.

I smiled proudly. "You can do that trick even if you don't know very many actual fire attacks. Hope you like being warm, 'cause you'll never ever feel the cold again. Drat this thick fur!"

[classy_cat18]

Shonta's POV

"Oh, I forgot!" I pulled out Nama's pokeball and let her out. "This is Nama. Say hello, Nama."

"Hi," she said sleepily. She yawned, climbed up to my shoulder with unbelievably long claws, and slept.

"Heh heh. That's Nama."

Trinity's POV

I can't believe I almost embarrassed myself in front of that cute Arcanine. I'll never forgive myself. I lay my head in my paws.

<You kind of upset Jay's Growlithe. You should go and apologize to him,> Jewel said inside my head. She was nowhere to be seen, but she was around there somewhere. But that got me to thinking. That Growlithe was cute, and I'll never get a chance like this again.

I smiled at Brandi. "Thanks for staying with me. I feel much better now. By the way, could you introduce me to your Growlithe friend?"

[Sheik]

Jay's POV

I looked at Nama as she curled up and began to sleep. I let out a soft laugh, "Nice to meet you, too, Nama." Shonta and I continued talking, getting to know each other. Every few minutes, I would glance down at Matt (Matthias), to see that he still had a look of regret and sorrow. He must either really like Trinity, or must being bashing on himself.

I looked over at Aurora in the pool to see that she had made a new friend with Shonta's Starmie, Jewel. While still looking at them talk, I gave Shonta a nod every now and then to let her know that I was still paying attention, and would reply back when she was finished. I looked over at the balcony window to see that Trinity and Brandi were coming inside again, and coming in this direction. Shonta and I stopped talking as they came near.

<Matt's POV>

Why did you have to act so stupid Matt? You're one smooooth operator... Uhg.... I wanted to hit myself. I decided to lay down in grief. Stupid... stupid.... stupid... stupid I said to myself, smacking my head against the floor at every interval.

I caught sight of Blazer, the ever famous Arcanine--everyone knew him, and who he belonged to. Girls flocked to him, many Pokemon marvelled at his awesomeness.

I looked up to see that Brandi and the Ninetales were coming back! What could I do? I quickly got up, and sat in the toughest way possible, trying to show the Ninetales that I could be just as good looking as Blazer, and that I had Blazer-Arcanine potential.

Brandi and Trinity came over to me, which I thought was shocking. "Hey, Matthias, I'd like to introduce you to somebody. This is Trinity," Brandi told me, but I already knew that--Trinity mentioned it earlier.

I looked at Trinity, and I wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. C'mon you idiot... say something!. I started to get nervous, and began to break out in a sweat.... "Hell-Hell," I rasped.

"Hell hell?" Brandi retorted. She obviously wasn't making this any easier.

"Uh... umm.... Hi," I managed. Trinity smiled, looking at me with those alluring, attractive eyes.

"Hey," she said softly,"Matthias, I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier. I was just frustrated about something. Will you forgive me?"

"It-it wasn't your fault," I told her. "S-sometimes, when Pokemon are frustrated, they don't mean what they say." She nodded.

"Matthias," she began, but I interrupted.

"You can call me Matt, I prefer it," I told her. Trinity cracked a smile; Brandi, however, looked at me with confusion.

"Matt.... I would really like to get to know you," Trinity said. It was at that moment that I was grateful to have fur, because I was redder than a beet.

"Y-you do...?" I asked, and Trinity nodded.

"Yes," she said. I had conflicting emotions--love, nervousness, bashfulness.... I didn't know how I felt, but I knew what kind of Arcanine I wanted to be. I just wanted to melt.

[The_Missing_Link]

<Blade's POV>

"Yeah," I smiled wryly, "hold on a sec."
Gently holding the Flaaffy by the waist, I dove towards the ground and let him go once we landed.
"Good luck," I called out.
"Thanks, you too," he called and went to find Kawaii.
Sighing, I went back to the top of the roof and laid back on one of the slants. It wasn't before long that Drake flew up and joined me.
"Dude, you are too predictable. I find you up here everyday."
"Well, you would be up here if you didn't have a woman in your life," I snapped back. "You have your daughter and you say nothing about going after a girl."
"Stop being stupid, Elwing is your niece and you know she loves you. But yeah, I know what you mean. We're just not assertive enough, that's all. You don't see many female Charizard's around here, do you? And you, you still haven't gotten over her and you're obviously petrified of flying females."
"Am not," I said defiantly.
"You are," he replied. "The whole team knows it and so do you. She was a good one but she loved Dodger and she's not coming back anyway. Time to move on."
"Damn you and your common sense. I have to face facts, even though it isn't pretty."
"Good, now let's go visit our family."
He's good and he knows it.

<Lyra's POV>
"Battle? Quite a first word despite no battles happening around us," I said.
"Why would she say that though?" Zale asked.
"Maybe because she knows her dad battles for a living and since you're a water Pokemon, she probably associates water with battling despite her attack type."
It probably sounded like a good explaination but I didn't even know if I was right. It was an odd circumstance, since she never even saw her father battle.
"Anyway, let's see how well she does getting water dumped on her," I said to switch the topic. "Then we'll know if she'll be a good swimmer or not."

<Aries's POV>

Using my powers, I had Darin fly around the house, up and around the rafters, around Nightshade a few times and then finally outside, where I followed him out. I had him go near Drake and Blade, who were probably going to see Elwing, and then about the chimney before having him settle on the ground next to me.
"You could probably do that to yourself if you evolved into an Espeon," I told him. "It's even possible as an Umbreon, but much more difficult. Not saying you have to evolve at all but whatever you think is best for you is fine with me."

[classy_cat18]

Cloud's POV

The next day was much better. I had apologized to Kawaii and she forgave me. Now I wasn't as big of a jerk as before. Now all I had to do was find a new girl. I stopped at a Kangaskhan and child curled up in the shade. The adult was huge. Time for me to work my charm. I cautiously walked up to the two Kangaskhan.

The adult opened her eyes and glared at me. "What do you want?" she asked groggily.

I took a couple steps back. "Hi. Are you new here?" I asked shakily.

"Does it matter?"

"I just wanted to know if you, um, wanted something to eat. I, uh, know where the kitchen is."

She gave a small smile, which was a very good thing. "Stay with me. My baby is taking a nap but she'll be hungry when she wakes up."

"Okay." I sat beside her and smiled. Today was going to be a good day indeed.

Bandit's POV

"Is this the Eevee House?" I asked Shonta as we approached the building. It was the girls' idea to introduce me to the place. Build up some social skills, they said.

"Yeah. Just don't steal from anybody."

"Oh, now that's an insult," I muttered. We went inside, and I discovered why it was called the Eevee House. Sure, there were lots of different Pokemon. But I've never seen so many Eeveelutions before! It was as packed in here as it was in the city. I climbed up to Shonta's shoulder and sighed. "I don't know about this, Shonta."

"You don't have to meet everybody right now. Just make yourself comfortable."

I made myself invisible and made my way outside. The view was lively and green. I found the nearest tree and climbed it, enjoying the view from there. This was different from the city, and I kinda liked it.

Beaky's POV

I flew back in, feeling a little angry. I took a few deep breaths and looked at Ruki. "What's wrong?" he asked me.

"It's Archangel. It was enough that I was scared of you. But she didn't have to make fun of me!" I flapped my wings in frustration. "But maybe I deserved it. I didn't have to yell at her like that." I flew to the window. "You can come back in, Archangel. And I'm sorry about yelling at you like that."

[SilverMachop]

Kung Pow Meditite's POV

"Silver used to come here and chat with the other trainers," I told the others as we entered. I chuckled sadly to myself when I added, "He'd always stay calm when his Pokémon ran about making fools of themselves."
"I remember that," chirped Anion Minun, who trotted alongside me. "They were some crazy dudes he adopted."
"I hope they're all okay, wherever they are now," Sailor Mercury Psyduck commented gently.
"Silver's capable of taking care of himself," said Seung Mina Scyther, who was looking around as if trying to find someone. "I'm sure he's okay, wherever he is."
Murray the Evil Skull Sableye nodded a great many times. "He must've known that out there, there are foolish mortals to crush in combat! Speaking of which..." Without a moment's hesitation, Sableye shot forth. Darting from Pokémon to Pokémon and sometimes even human, he challenged them to fights.
"I'll take you on! No, actually you look stronger! Just because you're a girl don't mean I go easy on you! You're not man enough to fight me! Crushing you is like beating Magikarp: it ain't worth the effort! Your feeble skills are no match for the power of a Dark Pokémon!"
Seung Mina sighed and shook her head. "He's making a fool of himself."
"And like Silver before me, I will stay calm," I said as I sat down and crossed my legs. Going deep into meditation, I could the feel the presense of the others departing, maybe to find conversation. Myself, I had to meditate, for the mission I had just been on had somewhat drained me spiritually.
Pretty soon, I was able to drown out Sableye's roaring challenges. "Hey you, Dratini! Wanna fight me, I'll take you on! Or you, Arcanine? I'll scratch you the wrong way! Or you..."
"How did Silver ever be able to find the courage to face other people in public?" I thought to myself, and laughed.

[The Blue Avenger]

***Previsiona's POV***
It was my first time here, and I must say, I was astounded. My trainer had dropped me and another Pokemon, Groviglio the Tangela, off here while he and two other Pokemon went for a hike. He had promised to take us along another day - the Pokemon he took with him needed more training. I floated around the hall; a Castform could get used to this...

Groviglio had run off somewhere. I hadn't known him for long, but I could tell he was a bit of a sparkplug - right now, he was jumping about glaring at anything crossing his path. He ran into a Sableye and the two began yelling at each other.

"You were in my way, dark-boy!"
"No - you were in mine, Medusa!"
"Hey, I'm a GUY! You should learn to respect your betters!'
"Oh, I'm sorry. MEDUSO!"
"Gollum wanna-be!"
"Ooh - low blow. You'll pay for that, no-face!" The two lept into battle.

Meanwhile, I floated back, eager to meet new Pokemon. I came across a Meditite who was meditating, natch. I greeted him. He didn't seem too happy to be shaken from his mind, but he introduced himself nonetheless - apparently his name was Kung Pow.

[SilverMachop]

Kung Pow Meditite's POV

"Previsiona, hmm?" I commented. "Very interesting name."
"Thank you," she replied, her eyes twinkling. "My trainer gave it to me when he adopted me. He's off training some of my other Pokémon on... what was it he called it... 'the real battlefield'?"
I knew what that meant. After the "Weird ALliance's" mission to stop the revolt between the Rockets and Crimson Blades, others were sent in as well. Her trainer must have gone to fight the villians as well.
"So, where's your trainer?" she chirped happily, and for a moment she sounded like Anion.
The pang of sadness that always arrives when Silver is mentioned hit me as usual. "M.I.A.," I said, looking down at the ground.
"Oh dear. I'm terribly sorry."
"Don't be. You see, that's why I was meditating. Every day I do so, so that I will find a clue as to where he is."
"I hope you find him," she said, bobbing up and down in the air.
Anion then trotted up to me. "Murray's in a fight."
"That was to be expected," I replied.
"With a Tangela."
The Castform burst out laughing. "That's Groviglio. Him fighting was to be expected too."
Anion looked over at Previsiona, his innocent eyes widening. "Wow! A real Castform! A really really real Castform! I thought they only existed on the weather channels!"
"You must excuse my friend," I apologized to Previsiona. "He's a bit naive when it comes to-"
"I don't mind," she replied. "It's nice to meet other Pokémon, and your friend is delightful."
"Ya wanna meet my other friends?" Anion cried, bouncing up and down. Like the little lightning bolt he is, Anion led Previsiona over to Seung Mina and Sailor Mercury, and they all engaged in pleasent conversation.
I couldn't help but smile. It was nice to see acts of friendship and joy rather than the hate and evil that always comes from the missions we are sent on. Speaking of hate, Murray and Groviglio were making their fight more of an insult-fest than a brawl.
"Spagetti face!
"Casper impersonator!"
"Weed infestation!"
"Rotting jack-o-lanturn!"
"You play baseball like a GIRL!"
"Why you!"

[The Blue Avenger]

***Mona the Smeargle's POV***
After the encounter with the Blade and the Rocket, my trainer felt we deserved some free time. He dropped me and Bobbery, a Snorlax, off at the Eevee House and told us to find Previsiona. "Don't bother trying to find Groviglio; he's probably in another pointless argument. See ya, guys!"

I looked around. Pokemon were everywhere - I saw a Meditite meditating, a Tangela and a Sableye arguing (that would be Groviglio), and lots more... all complemented with lots of bright colors. I grabbed Bobbery's arm and tried to pull him along. Unfortunately, I failed to realize the weight of my bulky frined and he just kinda sat there, still snoozing. It was at that moment that Groviglio and the Sableye decided to bring there argument over here. They stopped right in front of Bobbery.
"Pasta-face!"
"Jeweler's nightmare!"
"Worm!"
"Big nose!"
"...I don't have a nose."
"If you did, it'd be humongous!"
Bobbery stirred. "Who wakes me?!" he groaned. He stood up and looked down at Groviglio and Sableye. "GrrrrRRRRR!" Bobbery glared at them and started charging.
"AAAAAH!" Groviglio yelled.
"AAAAAH!" Sableye agreed. They both ran away, Bobbery hot on their tails.

[Wolfsong]

(Laila’s POV)

“It’s nice to meet you too, Dimitri.” I said with a smile. “Are you captured or adopted? Technically, I’m captured but I was given to Amy as a prize.” I admitted, softly.

(Jovi’s POV)

“I guess you’re right,” I told Kawaii. “It was just a shock when she left and then not so much as a visit till now…” I sighed, before a thought struck me. “I never told you what the Status coin did did I? I asked her. Kawaii shook her head no. “Sorry about that.” “It’s okay.” She told me. “Well,” I began, “whenever you’re afflicted by a status condition just flip that coin. It will either get rid of it, or else cause the same change to your opponent. The only catch is that it can only be used once a day.” Kawaii smiled and that made me happy.

By the time we had reached where mom was, Lani had gone. She was probably looking for Casey or Huan or both. When mom spotted me, she shifted from her growlithe form and into the familiar umbreon form. “Err, Mom, welcome back.” “Thanks. I’m sorry that I left so suddenly, but I do want to try and make it up to you. I’m proud of you. You have gotten so strong.” At that she gave me a huge hug and my face turned beet red. It was then that mom noticed Kawaii and released her hold on me. “Who is this pretty lady?” she asked. I walked over and sat down beside Kawaii. “Mom, this is my g… girlfriend Kawaii.” I blushed when I said that but when I looked over at Kawaii she was blushing too but smiling. Mom turned to look at Kawaii. “Pleased to meet you. I’m Mirage.” Then she turned to look me in the eye. “Jovi, take good care of her or you will answer to me.” I gulped. “Don’t worry Mom, I won’t let anything hurt her if I can help it.”.

(Willow’s POV)

Ever since I had evolved I had been in a confused daze. I was feeling bad about the way that I had treated my teammates and Amy. However, I was still unsure of what to make out of Amy. She did her best for me even after I had been so mean to her. The main thing was I hadn’t wanted to be caught but now that I was it wasn’t so bad and I had even evolved. I looked up to see that Amy was approaching cautiously. “I got this for you.” she said. “It’s a toxic TM.” She then walked off. I watched her go with mixed emotions before I activated the TM. When I was done I looked around for Cinder. I needed someone to talk to. I just hope that I hadn’t alienated myself from him as well.

(Blazer’s POV)

I hadn’t been in the house long before a heracross marched over to where I was. "Aren't you Blazer? Amy's Arcanine? I'm Moriko. Nice to meet you." I nodded my head in affirmation as I offered her my paw. She shook it.. “Nice to meet you too.” I said as Yana came over and sat down beside me. I introduced Moriko to her and her to Moriko.

(Sweetie’s POV)

I had been resting over by the pool, when Kyle walked over with one of my sons. I grinned with I saw them. It turned out that Blazer was going to evolve. He was young, but if he felt that he was ready then I was happy for him. I watched on proudly as he made the choice to evolve, and then he got a TM move. “Congratulations.” I told him as I gave him a motherly nuzzle.

(Sugar’s POV)

I saw Jesse, but he didn’t see me. I silently stalked him before pouncing on him. He cried out in surprise, but when he realized it was me he had his revenge. He began to tickle me. I started laughing and soon I had the hiccups and I accidentally zapped him. “Sorry.” I apologized, glad that he had stopped tickling me when I got the hiccups.

(Zale’s POV)

I shrugged. I liked Lyra’s explanation but I didn’t know if it was right or not, and I could tell that she wasn’t sure either. "Anyway, let's see how well she does getting water dumped on her," I said to switch the topic. "Then we'll know if she'll be a good swimmer or not." I nodded, before turning to Angel. “Angel, you can get in now.” She looked up at me and grinned. Then she turned and smiled at Lyra before climbing into the kiddie pool. As we poured water over her, she just sat there giggling. “That’s a good sign, right?” I asked Lyra smiling.

(Darin’s POV)

It was fun flying, I had to admit. I grinned up at Dad. When he sat me down beside him I scooted closer. "You could probably do that to yourself if you evolved into an Espeon. "It's even possible as an Umbreon, but much more difficult. Not saying you have to evolve at all but whatever you think is best for you is fine with me." Dad explained. I took a deep breath and then looked at him. “Dad?” “Yes?” “I have been thinking about evolving but I can’t decide which. I’ve narrowed it down to two choices though. “Which ones?” he asked. “Either a flareon or an espeon. I just don’t know which one. Can you tell me more about them?” I asked looked at him

(Ruki’s POV)

Beaky seemed upset when he flew back in. He was taking deep breaths, so I asked him what was wrong. When Beaky answered, I nodded in understanding. “No one likes to be made fun of,” I said softly, as I though about what happened when I had evolved.

[classy_cat18]

Dimitri's POV

"I'm captured. I'm from the Crystal Caves Meadow. I forgot when I was captured, though. So you're a prize, huh? What was life like before you became a prize?"

Kawaii's POV

I blushed even harder when Jovi said that he wouldn't let anything hurt me. But then again, I wouldn't let anything hurt him, either. "Mirage, your son is wonderful. I wouldn't let anything hurt him either."

Cinder's POV

Misu fired a Water Gun at a target, hitting the bullseye. "I wonder what the rest of the team's up to?" he asked me.

I shrugged and burned another target up with my Flamethrower. "I do know what Kawaii's up to." I gave an evil laugh.

"You have a dirty mind, Cinder." He sadly shook his head. "Hey, someone's coming." He pointed to a Bayleef that was walking up to us. "You know him?"

"No." Then something popped up in my mind. "Oh yeah! I know him! Hi Willow!" I waved at him. He looked troubled.

Moriko's POV

"Hi Yana!" I said maybe a little too loud. "Yeah, I remember you from the Pokemon Spotlight." I shook her paw. "Listen, I was wondering if you could give me a couple of fighting tips."

Bandit's POV

It was getting a little boring and I was getting a little hungry. I remembered passing some sort of kitchen. "Hope they don't mind me snatching a little something from there," I told myself. I hopped down from the tree and turned invisible. From there I sneaked into the house and into the kitchen. When I opened the refrigerator door I got a shock. "This thing is packed!" I cried out loud. Heads turned, and I shut up again. I pulled out an apple and swallowed it whole.

[Linc]

.:Linc:.

"Hmm... what to name you... this is a hard one, I'm not good with grass type names..." I said to my new Breloom. He was watching a butterfly fly above his head. He seemed that he didn't care what he was named, and that he didn't care about anything really. He suddenly fell onto his stomach with his eyes looking forwards. He then turned and looked at me. "How about a name from a... oh, what do you humans call them... oh yes, a video game! How about a name from a video game?" He said.

I laughed. "Ok then... well, I have one named Zora, a race from zelda games, so I'll call you... Kokiri!" I said. Kokiri nodded happily, and sat up. "That butterfly is getting annoying..." He said, and smashed it into the ground with his Iron Tail. I gasped. "I take it you don't like bugs..." I said. He nodded, and without warning, fell to his back and began to sleep.

[Knight of Time]

Kyle's POV

It had been a little while since Blazer's evolution. Now that I was a step closer to having my dream of having all 5 Eeveelutions as adopted Pokemon come true, I declared myself ready to evolve Aqua and Nocturne together, but first, I decided that it would be the best time for something else to come first. Taking out a Master Ball from the second half of my backpack, I opened it up to reveal my captured male Machoke, Crusher.

"Not you again! What do you want this time?" he asked in frustration.

"Crusher, there is something I want to give you, but first, I want to tell you something that I hope will make you understand how I feel about an old friend who I no longer have. He was a captured Poliwrath named Brutus. At the time I captured him about a year ago or more, I had been looking for a tough looking fighter, and he was a great friend after I captured him, but ever since my life was turned upside down and then slowly rebuilt, I ended up losing him, and even to this very day, I still miss him very much." I said.

"Oh, I'm real sorry, I never knew you had another fighter before you found me. I definitely regret the way I treated you when we first met. Regarding your lost Poliwrath, I guess I can take his place." Crusher said as he shrugged.

"Oh, thank you Crusher." I said with a bright smile.

"You're welcome. Hey, what's your name?" Crusher asked.

"Kyle." I replied.

"Thanks, Kyle. What is it you have for me?" Crusher asked curiously.

"Hang on Crusher, I have to get it out of my backpack first." I said.

Pulling out a small box from my backpack, I opened it up to reveal a small mound of powder. Sprinking it onto each of Crusher's arms, I watched as he suddenly began to rub his head in confusion after the powder went in.

"Kyle, uh, I'm kinda mixed up here. Why was that powder sprinkled on my arms?" Crusher asked.

"Because the power this powder contains is very suitable for your arms. You probably don't want to be any stronger than you already are, but you never know if there could be anything that you may or would have trouble handling, Crusher. Hopefully this move, which is none other than Cross Chop, will make you feel a bit happier." I said.

"Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me, Kyle. Yeah, I actually do feel more strength in my arms. Thanks a bunch." Crusher said.

"You're very welcome Crusher. I have a couple of other important things to do right now, so do you mind if I recall you?" I asked.

"No, go right ahead." Crusher replied.

"Okay." I said.

Recalling Crusher into the Master Ball I caught him with, I went back to my backpack, and took out two Pokeballs. Enlarging them, I opened them up to reveal my Eevee twins, Aqua and Nocturne.

"Hi Kyle, what's up?" Aqua asked.

"Aqua, you and Nocturne are in for a big surprise." I said.

"Wow, what is the surprise?" Nocturne asked curiously.

"I've got a couple of evolution stones each of you can make use of. What do you think?" I asked Aqua and Nocturne.

"Hmm, maybe we could make use of them, but who is going to use one of them first?" Aqua asked curiously.

"You can use the first one, which is a Water Stone, Aqua. I hope you don't mind evolving first, and I just hope Nocturne doesn't mind this." I said.

"Well, since Aqua is older than me, I think she should be the first to use one of the stones." Nocturne said.

"Fine. In that case, do you mind using the Night Stone I have in my backpack?" I asked Nocturne.

"Nah, I don't mind at all." Nocturne replied.

Reaching for the two evolution stones I recently forged, I put the Water Stone near Aqua's front paws. A second later, she put one of the front paws on the stone and immediately began to glow white, her body shape changing to look much like that of a mermaid. Within a second or two later, I smiled at my new Vaporeon. Almost immediately after Aqua's evolution, I put the Night Stone near Nocturne's front paws. Just a second or two later, he put one of his front paws on the stone, and he quickly began to glow white, his body getting a bit bigger as he turned black, getting a few gold, glowing rings on his body.

"How do you two feel now?" I asked the newly evolved Aqua and Nocturne.

"I'm feeling fine, thanks." Aqua said.

"Same here. Hey, I'm assuming that Espio will be the final one of us, aka myself, Aqua, Blazer and him to evolve, right?" Nocturne asked.

"Yes, he will be evolving last. But, I have something that he might like, so I'll be ready to give it to him then. Anyway, maybe you two ought to see your mother. I'll bet Sweetie will be surprised." I replied.

"Okay." the twins said together.

As I watched the twins move towards Sweetie, I laid down on the nearby couch, deciding to take a rest for now...

[The Blue Avenger]

***Blue's POV***

I was walking along the grounds of the Eevee House. I had let my Pokemon stay here several times before, but I had never gotten a chance to see everything. And, from the looks and size of the place, it would be some time before I managed to find everything.

I had brought an egg with me; my Ditto Cambiamente had just come back from the breeding center with it. If it was what i thought it was, the Eevee House would be an appropriate place to hatch it.

As if it was reading my mind, the egg began to wiggle. I set it down on the grass as the shell began to fracture. Suddenly, there was a brilliant burst of light, and when it faded, a small, precious Eevee was sitting where the egg was. I took her in my arms.

"I think I'll call you... Kiva," I whispered to her. "C'mon, let's go find our friends."

[The_Missing_Link]

<Lyra's POV>

"Absolutely," I replied. "Anyone Pokemon that responds well to water has a good chance at becoming a good swimmer. Orion, he's a Cubone on my team if you haven't seen him before, loves the water and despite his weaknesses, tries to swim everyday."
I picked Angel up and held her in front of me.
"You will be a fine specimen of a Pokemon," I laughed. "You will love the water and I predict some boys will be after you when you grow up."
I looked at Zale and smirked. I wasn't sure how uncomfortable he was but Drake would be furious if I told Elwing the exact same thing.

<Aries's POV>

"Well, those are two perfectly good choices," I began and plopped down on my stomach, folding my front two paws. "With Flareon, you have a tank. They can generate intense heat and rely more on power than speed, although they can become quick if they train hard enough. Espeons are more mental instead of physical, although all eeveelutions aren't really physical Pokemon. As an Espeon, you can learn to predict your opponent's next move, which is pretty important in battle. You can also levitate and make your opponent crumble with outstanding mental pressure. You'll pretty much be able to do what Uncle Nightshade can, except teleport or use hands because you don't have any. If you want to train under him, you'll be pretty well off."

"So you have two pretty stable, powerful Pokemon. I love being an Umbreon because I'm a combination of a physical and mental Pokemon. I can use psychic and other mental attacks but I don't have the natural talent Nightshade has. But I can't breathe fire or strike down foes as hard as Flareon can. So really, they're both fine choices and I think you'll be ok in the end."

<Drake's POV>

Flying down to the ground, we made our way inside and towards the pool, where Elwing was with Kalazeth. It puzzled me that Ryu wasn't with Elwing but she didn't know he liked her so there was no point in asking her about the subject.
"Elwing, can you come over here please?" I asked.
Turning around, she squealed at seeing me and slithered over to me.
"Do you mind cheering up your Uncle for a bit?" I whispered.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Something I'm afraid you won't understand until you evolve. He just needs someone to raise his spirits and I think you're capable of doing it."

***Mercandos***

"C'mon, Merc, you slowpoke!" squealed Kiva from in front of me. We were currently in the grounds of Eevee House, and we were en route to the Guild's Barracks. Blue was making himself a home there, because he was looking for a house in Sector Alpha and everbody was too busy to help him at the moment. He had been granted permission to use the bunks in the Barracks, so that was were he was setting up shop.

And then there was the Egg. Blue had sent me and Kiva, his new Eevee, to pick up a Pokemon Egg from the local Breeding Center. Kiva, lacking any capacity to carry Eggs, got to run in front of me and "keep my spirits up," as she called it. Lucky me, I got to carry the Egg. It was radiating with a comforting warmth. Then it began to wiggle.

"Hey, Kiva! Come back!" i called. "I think this Egg is hatching!" Kiva grinned and bounded toward me. I set the Egg on the ground. It wiggled more and more, until it began to glow with a brilliant, dazzling white light... I could hear the shell cracking. When the light cleared, an Eevee was sitting in the grass, looking slightly dazed. Kiva walked over to her.

"C'mon! Let's get her to Blue!" she said.

[Linc]

.:Linc:.

Hakan and Starbeam sat before me, looking at me contently, although looking slightly confused. "Linc, why'd you call us here?" Hakan asked, and scratched his ear. "Because guys, I brought these," I answered, and I pulled two glimmering stones out of my pockets. One, a shining yellow with a red flame inside it, and the other, a blue one, with a small bit of water in it. The two youngsters' eyes widened. "These are for you guys, it's your time to evolve," I said and placed the stones in front fo them.

They both placed one of their paws on their stone, and it instantly melded with their bodies. A white light grew over their bodies, enveloping them as they began to change shape. Hakan grew by a ton, the curled tuft of fur on his head becoming larger and straighter, sweeping backwards. Starbeam's mane grew larger and straigtened outwards, becoming webbed. Hakan's tails grew longer and thicker, and split into nine tails. Starbeam's tail grew longer and thinner, growing two fins at the end. Hakan's ears grew thinner and more pointy, and now went upwards. Starbeam's ears however, became two fins, growing out sideways, and one fin sprouted out of the top of his head.

As their changing finished, they swished their tails, and shook their heads, causing the light covering their bodies to splinter and explode outwards, like shards of diamonds flying into the air, and the splinters of light disappeared. Then, in front of me, stood two, fully grown Pokemon. Starbeam stretched his legs, and looked over himself. "Whoa... cool," he spoke as he walked a few steps. Hakan was just as pleased with his new form. He tested out his new attacks, and ran in a few circles. "Hey, how come he gets new moves?" Starbeam shouted. "Don't worry Starbeam, I'll get you a TM from the Kiosk or somehting, as long as it isnt too expensive, my CCPs are getting kinda low..." I said. "Hey, that's right! My name is Starbeam, that doesn't sound like a name for a Vaporeon," he spoke. "I need a name that fits me, but not too different from the name I have now... ah! I got it! Wavebeam!" he said with a laugh. "Good, now let's go show the team," I said.

[Charizard04621]

Ai, the female Skitty’s POV:

I hadn’t seen Dakota for a long time, and I missed him. This was particularly my fault, I thought; I’d been feeling very ill lately and hadn’t been able to visit the Eevee House. I still didn’t feel my best, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I wondered how little Koda was doing. Most of all, I wanted to see Dakota.

Walking tentatively into the intimidating building, I felt all my strength sap away from me. It was so dark... I was flying or falling, I couldn’t tell – up and down were the same to me. A strong, comforting figure towered over me, giving me reassurance as I lost control of my consciousness. “Dakota? Is that you?” I asked weakly before collapsing.

Elwing Starspray, the female Dratini’s POV:

“Oh! Kalazeth, you know that you’re being ridiculous!” I blushed. I may have been a good swimmer and battler, but Daddy was always the best. Still, it felt weird – kind of nice – to have a compliment like that. I smiled at the Horsea.

Kalazeth smiled back, and was about to say something in response but seemed to change his mind. He gestured to a place behind me, so I turned around. It was Daddy!

I wanted to splash him playfully and curl around him, but there was something in his face that made me feel serious. “Elwing, can you come over here please?” His worried tone puzzled me even more. There was definitely something wrong.

All the same, I made a delighted squeal in greeting and quickly went over. I didn’t have to ask, What is it? My eyes said it all. What came next was something I hadn’t expected.

Daddy talked in a hushed voice. “Do you mind cheering up your Uncle for a bit?”

“What’s wrong with him?” Poor Uncle Blade! I wondered what the matter was.

“Something I'm afraid you won't understand until you evolve. He just needs someone to raise his spirits and I think you're capable of doing it.” Daddy’s answer didn’t clear the confusion in my mind, but it was good enough for me. I would do anything for him, even without an explanation.

“I’ll try, Daddy,” I whispered back, then nuzzled him on the cheek before gliding towards Uncle Blade. “Uncle Blade!” I yelled, coiling around his closest leg and then switching over really fast, so that even if he had a metal coat, it tickled a bit. “Where have you been? I missed you! I need you to help me practice my Detect. I’ve gotten better! And you promised.” I looked at him, playfully accusing. “You haven’t forgotten, have you?”

[Knight of Time]

Kyle's POV

It had been several days since Aqua and Nocturne, the former Eevee twins had evolved. Since then, I had been awaiting the time and chance to evolve my final Eevee, Espio. Now, I was definitely at the final step of completing my dream of having all 5 Eeveelutions in my team, but Espio wasn't the only Pokemon I wanted to help evolve. Taking out a Day Stone and a Genetic Accelerator Gene from my backpack, I placed them both on the far end of the couch I was on, and I took out a Pokeball. Enlarging it, I opened it up to reveal Espio.

"Hi Espio. Have I got a double dose of good news for you." I said.

"Wow, what?" Espio asked excitedly.

"Well, firstly, I finally have what you need to evolve into an Espeon, Espio. Secondly, after I help evolve you, there is a second thing I want to give you, but I'll get to that later." I said.

"Oh, awesome. Getting one surprise is nice, but getting two surprises is even better. Thanks, Kyle!" Espio said, his face beaming.

"No problem, Espio." I said.

Putting the Day Stone near Espio's feet, I patiently waited for him to utilize its evolutionary powers, but he looked up to me in curiosity first.

"Is this what I need to evolve?" Espio asked.

"Yes it is. This happens to be called a Day Stone. Go ahead, touch it Espio." I said.

Watching as Espio reached out with one of his front paws to touch the Day Stone, I kept my gaze fixed on him as he immediately began to glow. Almost instantly, he began to get a bit bigger, and in the process, the tip of his tail split in two. Within a few seconds later, the glow faded.

"Wow, I really liked this first surprise. What's the second one?" Espio asked, his face beaming again.

"Hang on Espio, I have to get it first." I said.

Reaching into my backpack to get a small box, I opened it up to reveal a bright, orangish-yellow coloured powder, and I sprinkled it over Espio's new body.

"Wow, what's this new power I'm starting to feel inside me?" Espio asked.

"This happens to be the move Morning Sun. Just like with Wish, you can use this move to recover some HP. They may have their slight differences, but you never know where one might be a better choice in battle." I said.

"Better choice? What do you mean?" Espio asked curiously.

"Well, if you were in a battle, and Sunny Day was in effect, Morning Sun would be better to use because you'd recover more HP than Wish. However, if any other kind of weather was in effect, Wish would probably be the better choice." I said.

"Oh, that's quite a concept there." Espio said.

"Yeah. Well, I have another Pokemon to evolve, so I guess I'll return you to your Pokeball." I said as I recalled my new Espeon back into his Pokeball.

Taking my lone Genetic Accelerator Gene out of my backpack, I set it aside for a moment, and I took out another Pokeball. Enlarging it, I opened it up to reveal my Pichu.

"Oh, hi again Kyle. What's going on? Has the time come for me to evolve into a Pikachu?" Pichu asked curiously.

"Yes, it sure has Pichu. Lucky for me I have a Genetic Accelerator Gene, which you would need to evolve." I said.

"Great, thanks Kyle." Pichu said with a smile.

"No problem, Pichu." I replied.

Watching as Pichu jumped over my lap to get to the Genetic Accelerator Gene, I kept my gaze on him as he touched it, and immediately began to glow. In the process, he began to grow a little, getting longer ears and a lightning bolt-shaped tail in the process. A few seconds later, I smiled at my newly evolved Pikachu.

"Wow, I definitely feel better than ever now. Thanks a lot, Kyle." Pikachu said as he flashed a brighter smile.

"You're very welcome Pikachu. Someday, I'm going to make a promise to help you evolve into a Raichu, in which I'm going to give you a true name." I said.

"Oh, okay. Sounds neat." Pikachu replied.

Smiling again at my new Pikachu, I decided to just relax for a while...

[Charizard04621]

Aglárien, the female Charmander’s POV:

As the Vulpix fell under my electrical surges, I could feel a power of my own rushing through my body. It wasn’t just the excitement of having won a battle; there was something different about this feeling, something that told me: it was time.

I rushed through the masses of chairs, toys, and other obstacles to find my father, fighting down the uprising power just a little longer… “Father! I’m evolving!” I called, sensing the pulses of energy that grew ever stronger. Naurmir was behind me, eyes wide with fright; would I be the same? I could see his thoughts in his eyes. Don’t worry, I wanted to assure him, Nothing has changed. I’ll still be your older sister, and you’ll still be my favorite little brother.

A tall, winged figure appeared to approach me but whether it was my father, I could not tell. The strength was overpowering me now. I couldn’t hold it down any longer without stopping it altogether… And I didn’t want it to stop. I thrust my arms skywards as the glorious light shimmered over me, strengthening my muscles and pouring new spirit into my heart. I could feel myself growing. My tail flame burned brighter, as did the fire in my soul. I was a new pokémon now – and yet, there was so much of me that was the same. I smiled at Naurmir, who, seeing still the love and adoration in my eyes, finally began to relax and understand. I would never leave him; he would always have the deepest place in my heart.

[The_Missing_Link]

<Blade's POV>

I smiled kindly at Elwing and obliged her wishes of helping her practice her dodging skills. Although she would never help me fill the hole in my heart, it was still nice of Drake to enlist his daugher's help and far be it from me to deny Elwing's kindness, despite her lack of knowledge of the situation.
"No, I haven't forgotten," I said. "Let's get away from the pool and see how hard you've been working."
As I watched her move away from me, a smirk plastered my face. I hadn't seen her in a while, but I knew she wouldn't have trained much since our last practice. Maybe when she evolved she would take it more seriously but for now, she was still a kid.
"Ok, I'll attack and you try to dodge."
Aiming a claw at her body, a sphere of blue light appeared out of nowhere and shot itself at the Dratini. Unexpectedly, despite the high velocity of the attack, Elwing was able to dodge efficiently and rolled to the side. As the sphere sailed into the back yard, I nodded approvingly and instead of using a long range attack, sped at her, claws open.
"Attack me if you can but I don't think you'll be able to," I said before bringing a claw down upon her.

<Drake's POV>

I smiled at Elwing as she lured Blade into a training drill. It wouldn't heal his pain but at least it would take his mind off of his current problems. I turned around and looked down at the Horsea that Elwing just talked to.
"What's your name?" I asked the small sea dragon.
"Kalazeth, sir," he replied rather nervously.
"Don't call me sir. It makes me sound old. I'm Drake, but I'm sure you know that."
As I smiled at the Horsea, my thoughts strayed to Ryu. Where was that little Trapinch? I was certain he still liked Elwing but it looked like Kalazeth took his place lately. Perhaps he liked Elwing as well? It was an interesting thought, but dangerous if true. What happened with Blade was disastrous and if it happened to anyone else that I knew, I would be determined to settle it if something went awry.

(Dakota's POV)

I was resting near the door of the Eevee House. Aiko was off showing Koda the way around the place. Over the last few weeks he had grown a lot and now was just about as energetic as Aiko herself. Aiko loved it. She now had someone to play with. I closed my eyes as I thought about Ai. Suddenly, I heard her voice. “Dakota? Is that you?” she said weakly before collapsing in a heap. My eyes widened as i jumped to my feet. "What's wrong?" I asked as I nuzzled her worriedly.

(Flame's POV)

I was just sitting there with Naurmir just enjoying the time i spent with him. Suddenly, I heard Aglárien shouting. I immediately jumped up and spun around thinking somethign was wrong but as she drew closer i realized what she was saying. “Father! I’m evolving!” I walked over to where she was and watched with pride as she evolvied into a beautiful Charmeleon. "Congrats." I told her, giving her a hug. "You look nice."

(Zale's POV)

"Absolutely anyone Pokemon that responds well to water has a good chance at becoming a good swimmer. Orion, he's a Cubone on my team if you haven't seen him before, loves the water and despite his weaknesses, tries to swim everyday." I grinned as Lyra spoke those words. It would be nice to be able to have Angel swim with me. She was becoming quite the battler. I had agreed to let Amy train her at the battle tower a while back, but i didn't want her to have any battles out of it seeing as i didn't want her to get hurt. I trusted the people at hte battle tower to prevent that, btu i couldn't trust the wild pokemon. Lyra then picked up Angel and held her. "You will be a fine specimen of a Pokemon. You will love the water and I predict some boys will be after you when you grow up." I was grinning until she said that. "Let's hope that they aren't." I said, not noticing that Lyra was smirking." Angel jsut giggled and grinned.

(Sweetie's POV)

I noticed another one of my children evolving so i hurried over to watch. I made a mental note to remind Amy to edit my info on my page. When he had finished, before i could congratulate him he had been returned to his pokeball. I just returned to my spot and sighed.

(Darin's POV)

I nodded as Dad explained about flareons and espeons. "Will this continue to help me in battles if i become an espeon?" I asked parting my mane to reveal my collar. If it does i think that i might prefer being an espeon.

(Jovi's POV)

"Is there anything that you would like to do?" I asked Kawaii. I couldn't really think of anything other than introducing her to the entire team and i really didn't feel like trackign them down. I just wanted to spend some more time with her.

(Willow's POV)

"Hi Willow!" I heard Cinder calling as he waved at me. I smiled at least i hadn't run him off. I headed over to where they were. "How are you two doing?" I asked, still feeling slightly puzzled about the whole Amy situation.

[classy_cat18]

Moriko's POV

"You won! You won!" my teammates shouted as I landed on the ground, panting heavily.
"Yeah. I...feel...stronger...already," I panted.
"Too bad Shonta couldn't see you win, with school going on and all," Trinity said. She hugged me. "So how's our little cheerleader? Do you feel like something to eat?"
"Yeah. I'm starving. What's in the kitchen, Bandit?" I knew that he was in there invading the fridge.
Bandit hid an apple behind his back. "How should I know? I've never been in the kitchen."
A thought popped into my head. "Actually, I would like to see the next race." I watched the next competitors walk to the finish line. One of them was a strong looking Scizor. Very strong.
"He looks cute," Trinity whispered to me.
"Then go out with him," I teased.
I watched him and the other competitor take off. It was terribly one-sided. For some reason I was too busy watching to cheer. When the Scizor won, though, I clapped and yelled. "Well done!"
"Why don't you go congratulate him to his face?" Trinity asked me.
I smiled at Trinity. "You know what? I think I will!" I flew over to where he was now, practicing attacks with a Dratini. I held onto a tree trunk while I waited.

Kawaii's POV

I thought about it for a minute. I needed to train for the next battle that comes my way. I lost a battle with none other than the brother of Beaky's first Battle Tower opponent. But I couldn't think of battling when I was with Jovi. "Actually, I'm really hungry. Just got done with a Battle Tower battle."

Cinder's POV

"Not too good," I told Willow. "Cloud and I lost a double battle at the Battle Tower. Then Dimitri lost one, and then Kawaii lost one. Not a very lucky streak, huh? So how are you and Amy doing?"

[Wolfsong]

(Willow's POV)

"Wildfire and i seem to be on a losing streak. As far as Amy... i'm not sure what to think. Wildfire keeps getting KO'ed first leaving me to battle two opponents. Amy's been nice to me as bad as i've treated her and even helped me to evolve. Now i'm not sure what to do. I feel bad about the way i treated her and all.... Just not sure what to do on that front."

(Jovi's POV)

"I understand." I said. Dad was watching me with a half smile, half smirk on his face.

(Lani's POV)

I looked around for either Huan or Casey. Considering i was a lot taller than i used to be, i still couldn't see either one. I finally collapsed near the doorway to the backyard. I'd look again once i rest a little more.

[The_Missing_Link]

<Aries's POV>

I looked at the collar around Darin's neck and nodded.
"Even if you evolved into a Flareon, it would still help you. Every evolution that stems from an Eevee is from the special attack group. Since our special attacks are higher than regular attacks, that collar helps to raise our attack power to make it more even. Now, since Eevee's are considered normal type Pokemon and have a higher attack than special attack, the collar boosts up your attack power even more but in the long run, it's a good idea to keep it on."

<Nightshade's POV>

I forgot to keep track of time and before I knew it, it was time to train Tiana again. Looking through the throngs of Pokemon, I finally spotted her distinctive look and teleported over to her.
"We need to start meditating again," I said from behind.
Startled, she turned around to stare at me.
"What are you goggling at? Do you want to do it or not?"

<Blade's POV>

We eventually made our way outside, continually sparring with one another. I made sure to not overdue it but tried my best to make her fight back as hard as she could. It went on like this for a while, until I finally stopped and let her take a breather. She was sweating all over and breathing hard, obviously bushed from trying to attack and dodge at the same time.
"See? This is what you have to do if you want to evolve," I chided softly. "Unfortunately, I don't think you expected this when your father sent you over to cheer me up."
She looked up at me, startled. I laughed in return and crouched down.
"I expected this from him but I really do appreciate your concern and willingness to help, even though you don't know why you were sent over in the first place. I just hope you'll be more lucky than me when you grow up."
"What do you mean, Uncle Blade?"
"I know you don't like hearing this, but I think it's something better told when you grow up."
She looked dejected, but nodded in understanding.
"I think it's time for you to go back to the pool and cool down. I didn't expect to keep you this long and I don't want your dad to burn me to bits and ask why his daughter was sweating and covered in scratches."
Elwing giggled and slithered back to the pool. I looked around and watched a few of the other Pokemon talk a while until I noticed a young Heracross staring at me while holding onto a tree trunk. I squinted a little until I determined that it was a girl. Granted, I had trouble with older women but younger ones were easy enough, such as Elwing. Flying over to her, I must've startled her as she clung even more tightly to the tree.
"Couldn't help noticing that you were staring at me," I said casually. "Care to tell me why?

<Tarin's POV>

I glanced around uncertainly, trying to grow accustomed to my new surroundings. I felt like an odd green puffball in this house, although there were others who looked as different as I did.
I'm the new one though, aren't I? I thought ruefully.
I was about as old as the Umbreon, but I looked like a youngster because of my Eevee looks. Therefore, all I could spot were younger Pokemon playing around and no older Pokemon.
"This seriously sucks," I grumbled to myself.

[The Blue Avenger]

***Groove Guy***

"Now, you guys stay here for a bit, okay? 99 and I need to go, ah, "examine" some database files." With that, Jeff walked off. He left me, Lady Bow, and Raini standing on the front lawn of the Eevee House. Bobbery and Groviglio said they had been here before, but hadn't been back lately - Bobbery then had to add that it was probably due to Grove getting into a fight the minute he set foot in the door.

Lady Bow, Raini, and I had become something of a trio lately, probably due to the fact that Jeff had added us to his team pretty much at the same time. I liked to think of myself as the showman, while Lady Bow was prim and proper, and Raini was just kinda naive.

"Wow..." Raini gasped. "This place looks cool~!" She moved toward the building a few steps more before glancing around again. "Look at all the different Pokemon!"

Lady Bow floated up next to her. "Keep in mind, dear, that we're just as different as anyone else. It's not every day you see a black Meowth... or a white Gastly, for that matter."

Raini nodded. "Well, what are we waiting for, anyway?" She turned to glance back at me. "Let's go inside already!" She ran for the door with Lady Bow following at a good clip. I trailed behind, humming.

[Dark Dragonite]

*walks into the house, brushing dust off himself, and his pokeballs*
Well...I'm back!!
*releases his pokemon into the house*
Well, I'm always up for a good battle, but there will be no breeding anytime soon, lol.

PM me for poke info please!!

[classy_cat18]

Moriko's POV

Wow. He looks tougher up close. I gave a confident laugh. "I wasn't staring! Okay, so maybe I was. It's just that I've never seen a Bug type fight like you! I can see that you are a really experienced fighter. Well, back to why I'm here. I just wanted to say congrats on your victory in the flying race. I'm Moriko."

Kawaii's POV

Jovi and I walked to the kitchen. There I found Khanga and Roo chewing on some lettuce, Khanga looking very serious. "There's Khanga, one of my newest teammates," I told Jovi. I cautiously walked in the kitchen. "Hi Khanga. How was your battle?"

"I lost," she said with a neutral voice.

"I'm sorry. Wow, everyone in our team seems to be losing. I hope Beaky doesn't lose anytime soon. He'll go nuts!" I gave a nervous laugh. Khanga stood silent, looking down at me with narrowed eyes. Roo laughed and reached for me. Khanga merely growled and left with her lettuce.

"What's with them?" Jovi asked me.

"I think it's the fact that Shonta caught her and Khanga didn't want to be caught. It's okay, though. She'll come around sooner or later." I went to the open refridgerator and got out a head of lettuce.

Cinder's POV

"That's rough, Willow. But you know what? I think we should have a say in who we battle. You know, take the time to size up our opponents and see if we can beat them or not. But that's my opinion. My best advice is just to keep on battling. You and Wildfire are bound to beat somebody."

[Everoy]

<Patrick's Point Of All-Important Returnfultastic View>
I walked into the Eevee House for the first time in who knew how long. Would anyone remember me? It had been the second time I had left, and the second time that I felt like I needed to return. Before I left, I had given my Eevee, Umbra, to another trainer. I wanted to make sure he had a home since I was worried I'd have to leave again.

My pokemon followed me in, in a single file line. Mittens, my Mareep. Sapphire, my Seel. Typar, my Sneasel. Campbelle, my Chansey. Archae, my Lileep. Phear, my Spheal. Rayea, my Mantine, who was in an orb I had made, filled with water so that she could be on dry land with her friends. Rory, my Houndour. Jessie, my Koffing. Zen, my Squirtle. Adamantia, my Torkoal. Remy, my Smeargle. Broadway, my Jigglypuff. And Swoop, my Taillow. I was holding an egg with my new Eevee in it. I was curious as to why it hadn't hatched. That was partly why I returned.

I had suspected for a while that the egg hadn't hatched because I wasn't happy. No matter where I went or what I did, I was never happy. I did some reasearch on Eevees and eggs with my laptop. I found my answer.

Eevees are a very unique pokemon. Yeah, they can evolve into at least 5 different pokemon, but that isn't all. They are directly connected with the heart and soul of their trainers, whomever they may be. If the trainer is happy, they are happy. If the trainer is sad, they are sad. If the trainer is a suicidal maniac with tendencies to drown their sorrow with alcohol... Well, let's not get into that. My point is, I was right. My egg didn't hatch because I wasn't happy. I knew deep down that the first time I was truly happy was when I adopted Mittens, over a year ago. But adopting pokemon wasn't the only thing that made me happy. I had friends whom I had left behind. Gabi, for one. But there were many. I was afraid that I had lost them all when I had told them a long time ago that I had lied about who I really was. That
was back when I went under the name Chris Kerkin. But I still had friends. No-one abandoned me.

And I was wrong to abandon them by leaving. But I was back now. I was back for good.

[Linc]

.:Linc:.

I set the new Zangoose egg on a small table, and watched it intently. It shook every once in a while, and small squeaking sounds emerged every once in a while. Wavebeam and Static sat with their paws on the table, watching it with wide eyes. Even that they were older, it seemed like they were babies again, awaiting something new, like a touch from a person.

"It is going to hatch, right?" Wavebeam asked.
Static shifted his position and scratched his ear with his foot. "Well, it should. I mean it can't take forever to ha-"

Crack.

I quickly whipped a towel out of my backpack as a long crack pierced its shell. Several others began to appear. Wavebeam and Static each took a side of it, and pulled away the rest of the shell as parts flicked off. I picked up the baby quickly, drying it with the towel, cleaning it, etc.

It was after I got to look at it good, I noticed how special the little thing was. She was blue. "Aoi... that's what I'll call her," I said and held her close to me. Her little claws gripped my shirt firmly.
"And that means?" Static asked.
"Blue."
"Oh."
"So, who wants to get the team?"

Before he could answer, Static bolted off, leaving black sparks of electricity in the air as he went.

[Everoy]

<Remy's Point of Artistically Superb View>
The first few minutes back in the Eevee House were hectic. Rayea, Rory, and Phear had their names changed to Birostrisia, Dobie, and Sphear, respectively. Once that was done, Patrick walked over to me and handed me the Eevee egg.

"Uh…" Patrick groaned.
"Yup. Got it." I answered. Most of us could tell what he wanted just by thinking hard enough. That's what you get from traveling for who-knows-how-many months with him.

Before we came back to the Eevee House, Patrick spent all of the money he had obtained while traveling, and kept the money he had before then. He had bought me a portable easel that I carried around everywhere. I propped up the easel and started to think about what to paint. I then saw the most beautiful creature I had ever seen… nd I felt as inspired as ever. The blue fur… the red markings along it… it was beautiful. Before long I was done. I walked over to the creature's trainer.

"Aoi... that's what I'll call her," the trainer said, hugging the beautiful blue Zangoose.
"And that means?" A black Jolteon asked.
"Blue." He responded.
"Oh." The Jolteon seemed to be snickering a little bit.
"So, who wants to get the team?" The trainer asked. The Jolteon raced off.
I shyly walked over to the trainer.
"Um… Hi… I'm Remy." I introduced myself. The Zangoose, Aoi, stared at me with large reddish eyes. I handed the painting a drew to the trainer.
"Uh… I saw your Zangoose and I felt like I had to paint her…"
