Prologue
"They're catching up!"
"Both of you, through the portal, now!"
"We can't just leave you by yourself."
"Don't worry about me, just go."
A blast was fired in front of three figures.
"They're here, just go."
"WATCH OUT!"
Another blast knocked the figures through.
"You imbecile! You let them get away!
"Whoa! Are… are you okay?"
"My head,"
"Stay with us!"
The transport was rough. They were being pulled apart.
"No! Don't let go!"
"It's only a little bit longer!"
"I can't hold on! I'm slipping!"
"No!"
One figure was pulled towards another area.
"EVE!"
"I'm sorry my friends."
The next thing they all saw was total darkness.
A lone figure lay on a beach. All was silent save for the light crashes of the beach waves. The figure struggled to stay awake and looked around. "Where… where am I?"
The figure winced and curled within itself. "No I can't. I'm drifting again."
Its vision went black yet again.
The other two figures painfully landed in the forest. The tallest figure groaned as it stood up, looking around. It let out another growl and punched the nearest tree as the other came to. Its soft groans brought the other's attention back to it. The figure walked over to the other, helping it up.
"Are you alright?"
"I'll live. Where's Eve?"
"We lost her during the transport. She blocked us from that hit Dusknoir sent us."
"Grovyle, this isn't your fault. You do realize that, don't you?"
"I should have protected her Bi! She could have died if the blast was any stronger. She's only a human."
"Oh, Grovyle."
The figure began coming to again. A voice was coxing her to wake up. Was that Grovyle? The figure opened its eyes, coming faced to face with a Shinx. The figure yelped and jumped back a bit, desperately looking around. It was shocked to see such a bright sight and sunlight. Wait, sunlight!
"You're awake, what a relief!" the Shinx said with a smile. "You weren't moving, I was getting worried."
The figure stared at the Shinx. Genuine worry. That never existed where we were. It was a pokémon eat pokémon world, except between the three of us. We made it! We're in the past! Now where are Grovyle and Celebi? The figure looked around excitedly only to realize they were alone, suddenly remembering what happened during transport. Shinx waved a paw in front of its face.
"Hey! Do you remember how you got here? I found you unconscious here," Shinx asked.
The figure was silent. "I don't know how I ended up here, sorry."
"Oh, well, I'm Fang. It's a pleasure to meet you. And you are? I haven't seen you around town before," Fang said, still grinning.
"My name is Eve, that's all you have to know." The figure said.
"For an Eevee, you sure are mysterious. But you don't seem so bad." Fang said. "More bad pokémon have been showing up. Plus they've been real aggressive."
Eve didn't hear the last part. She was in shock due to what Fang had told her. She glanced down at herself and things finally began to click. Why she had literally seen eye to eye with the Shinx. Why her hearing seemed to be better. Suddenly she noticed two other pokémon coming up behind Fang. She let out a growl as they continued and 'bumped' into him, knocking something out of Fang's grasp. The Shinx let out a cry of pain. The floating pokémon let out a laugh.
"I do beg your pardon," it said.
"What did you do that for?" Eve growled, stepping in front of the furious Shinx.
"We wanted to mess with the fur ball, but messing with you will be just a fun. Can't your buddy face up to us himself?" The flying one said.
"Wh-what?" Fang stuttered. The flying pokémon flew over to the fallen object. "This is yours isn't it?"
"Don't touch that!" Fang shouted.
"It's ours now, sorry kiddo," the flying one said, taking the object. Fang stood in shock, while its floating companion laughed.
"Aren't you going to make a move?" The floating taunted. Eve growled at the two Pokémon, startling them. They had forgotten about her for a moment.
"Give that back to him, now!" Eve snarled. The two Pokémon could feel the dark aura surrounding the small Eevee and backed up.
"Let's get out of here Koffing!" the flying type said, flying past Eve and Fang towards the nearby cave.
"Right behind you Zubat!" Koffing yelled, following the bat.
"Cowards!" Eve roared. Shinx looked at the smaller pokémon in shock. What had he gotten himself into?
