"It feels so good to be home," Amelia said with Silver nodding his head.
"I wonder if Gold is still the champion," Silver said. Ash and Serena smiled. Meanwhile, Espeon and Umbreon walked off.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"Espeon said she wanted to take me somewhere."
"I'll tell Amelia. Just let me know when you're done so I can tell you where we are."
"Ok."
Espeon and Umbreon walked in the groves of Johto. Espeon was walking with a smile on her face when they arrived. Umbreon looked and instantly knew where they were. They were back at their childhood home. This was where they used to play before Team Rocket arrived.
"Umbreon, this is-"
"Your home?"
"How'd you know?"
Umbreon silently walked inside a particular tree and looked around. It was destroyed, just like when the poachers came. Espeon followed.
"Umbreon?"
"I have a connection to this place too."
Umbreon walked to a higher level of the tree and Espeon continued to follow him.
"It's a story you may know. When I was an Eevee, I was trying to be the strongest Eevee in this village. I not only knew how to fight, but I also cared very deeply for every inhabitant in the jungle."
Espeon stayed silent.
"But there was this one Eevee who I had my eye on. She was a very attractive Eevee. From the day I met her, I kept trying to show off for her. We were friends, and even called each other by a nickname..."
Espeon's eyes widened and she blushed madly. She remembered the shiny Eevee who was taken away by Giovanni's son. She remembered how nervous he was every time he talked to her. Umbreon walked up to her.
"She had eyes bluer than the brightest sapphire. She told me I had the eyes redder than the brightest ruby..."
Espeon had a tear rolling down her face as Umbreon walked closer.
"That's why I called her Blue...and she called me Red."
"R-Red?" She asked with a quivering voice. He smiled and stopped moving closer. Espeon walked over and nuzzled his chin.
"I missed you...so much."
"I did too."
She stopped and looked into his eyes. He still had eyes redder than the brightest ruby and she still had eyes bluer than the brightest Sapphire. After the adventure they had just had with Ash's adventure, they shared a passionate kiss that neither of them wanted to break away from. With every second they kissed, their love for each other grew more and more. Meanwhile, Ash, Silver, Amelia, and Serena were searching for Johto Pokemon. Ash had fully evolved his Totodile, Chikorita, and Cyndaquil, and his companions were even catching Pokemon to add to their collection.
"Ok, so that's Sentret, Furret, Pichu, Ledyba, Ledian, Spinarak, Ariados, Hoothoot, Noctowl, and Crobat. Who are we missing?"
"Next in the Johto Pokedex is Igglybuff and Togetic."
"Thanks, Silver. Serena, have you caught any Pokemon?"
"I just caught a Bellossom, if that helps."
"Great! What about you, Amelia?"
"I don't know if a Wobbuffett counts as anything."
"Anything counts. Hey, who's that Pokemon?"
They looked into the distance and saw a Pokemon that was black and white. It looked blocky, but had seven scythe-like spikes on its back.
"I've never heard of that Pokemon before..."
He checked Silver's Pokedex and didn't find a Pokemon like it. He looked up and it was gone.
"Let's keep going," Ash said.
