A/N: I do not own Pokémon.

Whoa! Wh-wh-whoa…!

Are… Are you OK?

No! Don't let go!

Just a little longer… Come on! Hang on!

N-n-no! I can't…hold on…!

Waaaaah!

It was nice, peaceful, ordinary day in Treasure Town, expect for one Pokémon, who was approaching the Wigglytuff Guild.

"Okay, this is the day I finally become an apprentice at the Wigglytuff Guild." a female Eevee told herself. "Today I'll have the courage to do it."

She walked onto the grate in front of the entrance.

"Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!" a voice suddenly said.

"Who's footprint? Who's footprint?" another voice said, but a louder.

"The footprint is Eevee's! The footprint is Eevee's!"

"Whaa!" The Eevee screamed while jumping off the grate. After she calmed down, she sighed sadly. "Looks like I can't work up the courage to do it after all."

She dug through the thick fur around her neck and took out a small piece of stone with a unique pattern on it. It was attached to a string hidden in her fur. She looked at it while talking out loud. "I always used to look at this Relic Fragment, my personal treasure, for courage… but it's not enough…" She sighed again and look at the ground at her side.

"I wish I had a friend. One that will give me the courage I need and stand by me." She sighed for a third time and put her Relic Fragment back into her fur and walked down to the beach. After she left, a Zubat and a Koffing come out of hiding from behind the trees.

"Hey Zubat. Did you get a load of that?" The Koffing said.

"You bet I did Koffing." Zubat said.

"That little wimp that was pacing around…had something good, right?"

"That wimp had something, that's for sure. It looked like some kind of treasure."

"Do we go after it?" Koffing asked.

"We do." Zubat responded.

They nodded in agreement and headed down to the beach where the Eevee was heading to.

The Krabby that lived on the beach were blowing bubbles into the air out to the ocean, where they reflected the rays of the setting sun, sparkling with the water. The Eevee arrived at the beach and looked towards the sea and the setting sun.

"Oh, wow! What a pretty sight!" she said to herself with gleaming eyes and a smile.

"When the weather's good, the Krabby come out at sundown to blow bubbles…" she said to herself. "All those bubbles, catching the setting sun's rays off the waves…It's always beautiful." She continued to look at the sun set, taking the beautiful site before her.

"Not to mention very romantic." She thought to herself. She looked at the ground to her side and it looked like she was daydreaming right before she shook her head, snapping herself out of her daydream. "What am I thinking? No one will like me for me." She sighed sadly and looked back at the sunset, which immediately brought a smile to her face again.

"This is where I always come when I feel sorry for myself." She continued to talk to herself. "But it makes me feel good to be here, like always. Coming here is uplifting. It cheers me up."

She turned to walk further down the beach and something caught her eye. It looked like a half black and half blue lump with some yellow spots from where she was. "Hey…what's that? What's going on over there?" She walked down the beach until the lump became clearer to her as she got closer. Once she was close enough, she saw that the lump was actually an unconscious Shinx!

"Waah!" She yelled shocked. "Someone has collapsed on the sand!" She quickly ran up to the Shinx to see if it was alright. She first inspected it for injuries. Upon inspection, she saw that is its mane wasn't short for a Shinx, so that meant it was a male Shinx, and in her opinion, a very handsome and cute one. She blushed slightly at her thought but quickly shook it out of her head and got back to the matter at hand and tried to shake the Shinx awake. "What happened? Are you OK?" She asked.

"…Ugh…" the Shinx grunted. He stood up and sat on his haunches while rubbing his head with his paw.

"You're awake! That's a relief!" The Eevee said.

"Where…where am I…?" The Shinx asked itself.

"You weren't moving at all. I was seriously worried!" She told the Shinx.

The Shinx looked around to find the source of the voice, but only saw an Eevee. "Who said that?" he asked.

"That was me silly." The Eevee replied. "Do you remember how you ended up unconscious out here?" The Shinx looked at her for a second and then a look of complete shocked came to his face.

"Waah! A talking Eevee?" he shouted. He tried to stand on his hind legs and run, but he fell on his face before he could make one step. "What the heck?" He thought to himself as he spat sand out of his mouth and tried to stand on his hind legs again, and falling on his face again. He attempted to stand several more times, and each attempt had the same result. The Eevee that had been watching the whole scene couldn't help be let out a very cute giggle.

"What's so funny?" He asked, stopping his futile attempts.

"Well you're trying to stand on two legs when Shinx usually stand on all four." The Eevee replied.

The Shinx had a dumbfound look on his face. "What are you talking about? I'm a human, not a Shinx!"

It was now the Eevee's turn to look dumbfounded. "Really? You look like a totally normal Shinx to me!" "And a very cute and handsome one too!" She said in her head.

"What…" He looked down and saw that was had paws and a yellow ring on above each of his paws. He looked his body over and saw that the upper half of his body was blue and lower half was black. He turned his head around and looked back and saw a tail. He brought his tail to his face and saw the star at the end of his tail. He was definitely a Shinx.

"It's…it's true! I've turned into a Shinx!" he exclaimed. "Well at least I'm a cool Pokémon." "…But how did this happen? I don't remember anything…"

"You're…a little odd…" the Eevee said. "Are you pulling some kind of trick on me?"

"No, I'm really a human…Or at least I was." The Shinx replied.

"You're telling me the truth?" she asked. He nodded in response. "Okay then. My name is Nina. What's yours?"

"My name is Soru." The Shinx now known as Soru said.

"Soru, that's a cute name." Nina said giggling, which caused Soru to blush slightly.

"Well you don't seem to be a bad Pokémon, at least." She continued.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Soru retorted.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything by that. It's just that more and more bad Pokémon have been turning up lately, you see!" Nina explained, "Many Pokémon have gotten aggressive lately. Things have grown somewhat lawless…"

Soru was listening to Nina when something caught his eye.

"Watch out!" he yelled.

"What?" she turned around just in time to see a Zubat tackle her. Soru quickly stood on his hind legs and caught Nina before she could hit the ground. The string that held her Relic Fragment snapped and it fell to the ground.

"Well, I do beg your pardon." the Koffing said.

"Hey! Why'd you do that?" Nina asked angrily when Soru put her down.

"Heh-heh-heh! Can't figure it out?" Zubat said, "We wanted to mess with you! Can't face up to us, can you?"

"Wh-what?" Nina said, not liking what they're getting at.

"That's yours, isn't it." Zubat said, motioning at the Relic Fragment.

"No! That's…!"

"Sorry, kiddo. We'll take that." Zubat said before Nina could finish, and took the Relic Fragment.

Nina was frozen with shock and fear as she watched her personal treasure being stolen by two thieves.

"Whoa-ho-ho! Not gonna make a move to get that back? What's the matter? Too scared?" Koffing taunted, "I didn't expect that you'd be such a big coward!"

"Come on. Let's get out of here." Koffing said to Zubat.

"See you around, chicken. Heh-heh-heh." Zubat taunted Nina before leaving towards Beach Cave with Koffing.

Nina just watched, too afraid to do anything, as the two poison types get away and Soru also just stood there and watched, not sure of what to do.

After Koffing and Zubat had gone into the cave, Nina broke down into light sobs.

"Wh-what should I do? That's my personal treasure. It means everything to me. If I lose that…" Nina then broke into heavier sobs. Soru couldn't bear to see her like this. Even though he just met her, it pained him in his heart to see her like this. He walked up next to the crying Eevee until he was right beside her.

"Hey." he said to grab her attention, "Why don't we find them and get it back. I'll help you get it back if it's that important to you."

Nina wiped her tears away with her paw as she faced him, "You-you'll really do that for me?"

"Sure. It's not like I got anything else I should be doing." Soru said with a smile to cheer her up.

It did. Nina lunged at Soru and wrapped both her forearms around his neck. "Thank you!" she said while hugging him tightly. Soru could feel his face heating up from the sudden contact. Nina then gave Soru a quick lick on the nose, which caused Soru to blush even more, before running towards Beach Cave. "Come on!" she yelled before entering the cave.

Once Soru shook off the shock and blush, he ran after her, "Wait up!" he yelled running to catch up to her. "Well Soru, what have you just gotten yourself into?"

Shaymin Rules!
