Emerald Destiny

A/N: Hi everybody!! If you haven't read Eevee, Espeon, you might find this confusing, so I recommend you to read it first. If you have any character ideas, I'll be happy to receive them. For those who have read Eevee, Espeon, you might wanna know that this is told from a normal (third-person) POV (Point Of View), not Dawn's POV. Also, you may find that the title of that isn't very suitable, but anyway. I hope you'll enjoy this!! (I'm sacrificing homework time, I am sooooo gonna die...)

Disclaimer: Hey, Shimi, come on over. (Shimi, or Shiromidori, is a character in my CCS fic. She's a light green and silver Eevee with wings.)

Shimi (unsuspectingly): Yeah? What?

Me: Can you help me do the disclaimer?

Shimi: I don't know why I'm doing this. I'm not even in this fic.

Me: Please? I'll give you an Eevee treat sprinkled with sugar. *mutters* Although I don't know why I'm offering this; when I gave a Pikachu treat with sugar to Sparkie, she was seeing pink fluffy bunnies everywhere -_-;

Shimi: YEAH!! She doesn't own Pokemon, neither does she own CCS. But she does own Kris, and anything she made up. Carolyn and Lionel are products of other people's imaginations. *snicker* Pathetic, really. She owns so little.

Me: I heard that!! You're not getting anything!! HAHAHAHA!! *runs away*

Shimi: Come back here!! You promised!! *flies after me*

"Let's go!!" Kris cried. The group, consisting of Kris, Amethyst, Dawn and Twilight, trotted out of the clearing where they had met. Instantly they were shrouded in darkness, the sunlight blocked out by the impossibly tall trees towering above them. Although the recently wild Eevees could see in the dark as they had been living here all their life until now, Kris and Amethyst weren't as used to the dark as they were. However, this was easily solved.

"Amethyst, Flash," Kris said quietly, hoisting Amethyst to her shoulders.

The lavender jewel on her forehead started to glow. In a few moments, it was bright enough to light the trail. The foursome started moving again, led by Dawn and Twilight, who knew the forest like the back of their paws. Amethyst was curled around Kris's shoulders, acting as a flashlight, of sorts.

"Hey, do you see that pinkish light over there?" Kris asked after a moment or two, pointing to the left. Shining Amethyst's Flash so that it would illuminate the source of the pink light, Kris saw a Clefairy bouncing and shining on the other trail, which was parallel to the one she was walking on. Dawn bounded through the bushes to the Clefairy, stopping it and asking it questions.

"Eev eevee eevui? Vui eee vee eeevui ee." Dawn inquired. {Do you have a trainer? You're using Flash.}

To Kris, she understood as clear as day. Unfortunately, she couldn't understand the Clefairy. With a sigh, she pulled out her blue Pokedex and activated the Pokespeak translator. "Dexter, translate."

"Yes. My trainer is somewhere behind." The Clefairy answered, turning around.

Through the bushes, Kris could see a chestnut-haired girl walking around the bend in the path, slowly picking her way through the undergrowth, which was thick on that side. She wore her hair in a ponytail. "Oww.." The girl complained. "I should have taken the other path..What's up, Clefairy? Oooh, what a cute Eevee!! They're really rare, too. I wonder if it has a trainer..."

Kris finally recognized the familiar face. It was Carolyn Wood, one of her good friends from Azalea Town who received her Pokemon license on the same day Kris did. The reason why she was behind Kris was that she had some trouble with the gym leader, Bugsy, although she had a Growlithe. On her first match with the gym leader, her Growlithe had been poisoned badly, and she had to wait for her Growlithe to regain its health completely before she challenged the gym leader again.

Kris had offered to wait, but the kind hearted girl had asked her to go on first, and promised to meet Kris in Goldenrod. And now, because she had waited for Dawn and Twilight to regain their health after falling out of the tree, Carolyn had caught up.

"Hey Carol!!" she shouted, as the hazel-eyed girl tried to pet Dawn, but receiving a growl and a nip for her efforts. Carol, as she asked everyone to call her, stood up.

"Kris!!" Carol cried. "I thought that you would be in Goldenrod by now!!"

"I was..held up," the blue-haired girl replied. "Now that you're here, we can travel together like we planned!! You got your Hive Badge?"

"Yup!!" Carol said happily, opening one side of her jacket to show the Hive badge nestling in one of the specially made compartments. "But your on that side and I'm on this side, and I'm not small enough to wriggle through like your Eevee did." She pointed at Dawn, who had just crawled through the bushes and was now sitting licking her fur back into place.

"Never fear," Kris winked. "Amethyst, Teleport them here!!"

The light emitting from her jewel turned bright purple, and in a flash, literally, Carol and her Clefairy landed next to Kris. On their butts, unfortunately.

"Ehehehe," Kris laughed nervously as Carol brushed dead leaves off. "I'm afraid that Amethyst here hasn't mastered Teleport yet. She can only do very short distances, and not very well either. For some reason, when she does it to herself, she always lands where she wants, and upright too." Amethyst glared at her mistress and hissed.

"It's okay," Carol assured both of them. " At least nothing's broken or anything. Do you mind if I return Clefairy to her Pokeball? Your Espeon's Flash is much stronger."

Sure, Amethyst herself replied.

"Who..Oh. I forgot that your Espeon could talk mind-to-mind." Carol said sheepishly as she returned Clefairy to her Pokeball.

'Come on, what are you waiting for?" Kris said impatiently, jogging on the spot. "I wanna get to Goldenrod City as soon as possible. This place freaks me out."

"Do you know the way out of this place?" Carol asked. "I lost my map when I entered the forest. Some stupid Hoothoot took off with it."

"Sure." Kris rummaged around in her pockets. "I'm sure it's around here somewhere.." She turned out her pockets. "It's gone!!" Looking around, she saw Twilight munching something. "Twilight!! Spit that out!!" she commanded frantically.

Twilight looked at her in surprise, but obediently spat it out. It was the remains of her map.

Dawn snickered. "{Twilight always liked tree bark.}" Twilight glared at her, looking humiliated.

"Er, it's okay, Twilight," Kris said gently. "Both of you know the way out, don't you?" She looked at Dawn and Twilight.

"{Er, not exactly, mistress.}" Twilight and Dawn both looked nervous. "{We weren't allowed to go so far out.}"

"Now what should we do?" Carol wailed. She had also activated her Pokedex's translation program.

"We'll just walk on and hope for the best, I suppose," Kris said resignedly. "But there are so many trails that lead nowhere. This is going to take a long time."

"Need help?" offered a soft voice somewhere in front of them. A black haired boy stepped out of the shadows. He was wearing a black standard jacket (standard, as in Pokemon trainers around the world wear them. These special jackets have transparent compartments for badges.), a dark blue shirt, and dark blue jeans. The result was that he blended in perfectly with the shadows. An Umbreon with blue rings trotted into view beside him.

"Wha..You nearly gave us a heart attack!!" Carol snapped. "Next time, try to be more conspicuous!!"

"I always wear this when I look for Pokemon," he replied calmly. "It prevents them from seeing me." He looked to be about 15. "Look, do you need help getting out of here or not?"

"Yeah.." Kris replied, looking at him suspiciously. "Who are you anyway?"

"Lionel Darkstar at your service." He bowed slightly. "May I ask what both your names are?"

"Don't you know already?" Carol retorted. "You were eavesdropping, weren't you?"

"I arrived only in time to hear the last part of your conversation."

"Carol, come on, don't be so snappish. I'm Kris Star and this is Carolyn Wood." Kris said, looking at the older-by-one-year girl reproachfully. "You have a condition, don't you?" she asked Lionel.

He nodded silently. "A battle. Win, and I'll lead you out to Goldenrod. Lose.." The dark-haired boy shrugged.

"You're on!!" Kris replied. "Carol, do you mind being referee?"

"That's what I do best," Carol said tightly. "Come on, let's find a clearing."

After finding a clearing where there was enough sunlight to see by, Carol asked Kris and Lionel how many Pokemon they had, then stood at the side and said, "This will be a four-on-four battle between Kris Star and Lionel Darkstar, with the chance of a sudden death battle. No time limit. Let the battle begin!!" She let her hand drop.

"Ladies first," Lionel shouted.

"Fine. I choose Firestar!!" She threw her Pokeball, releasing the icy blue Ponyta in a flash of crimson light.

"A Shiny Ponyta? Okay then, Silver, you're up!!"

The blue-ringed Umbreon ran forward, baring his teeth and growling. Firestar looked unfazed, stomping the ground with her hoof.

"Firestar!! Stomp, now!!"

"Avoid it, Silver!! Agility!!"

Firestar neighed in confusion as the Umbreon disappeared from under her feet.

"Silver, Faint Attack!!"

"Hurry, Firestar!! Flame Shield, now!!"

Firestar whinnied, and a red orange flame tinted with blue swirled around her, protecting her. Silver suddenly appeared and slammed into the flame, but was thrown back, the fur on its left shoulder burnt and smoking. Silver hissed in fury.

"Firestar, Flamethrower!!"

"Silver, Quick Crunch!!"

The combination Quick Attack and Crunch was too much for the blue Ponyta. As the Flamethrower left her mouth, she toppled over from the bite to her front leg.

"Ponyta is unable to battle. This round goes to Lionel and his Umbreon!!" Carol called out.

However, the flame scorched the Silver's right ear, leaving it smoking like his shoulder had. He screeched and pawed at his burnt ear.

"Are you all right, Silver?" Lionel called worriedly as Firestar returned to her Pokeball. "Do you want to rest?"

"Bre, bre," Silver growled fiercely, shaking his head. "Um-bre-on!!"

"Okay, but if you've had enough, tell me!!"

"Go, Amethyst!!"

"An Espeon?" Lionel snorted in disbelief as the lavender Pokemon trotted forward, eyes burning with rage for the defeated Firestar. "Well, if you say so."

"I do." Kris replied coldly. "Quick Attack, now."

To the already weakened Silver, this was more than he could take. With a whimper, he collapsed, panting.

"Umbreon is unable to battle. The second round goes to Kris!!" Carol announced.

Kris ran over, as did Lionel. "Are you all right?" Kris asked the Umbreon worriedly. "I'm so sorry."

"Bre bre," murmured Silver as he returned to his Pokeball.

"I choose Umbreon!!" Lionel threw another Pokeball; this time, a normally coloured Umbreon appeared. It stood calmly, waiting for orders.

"Amethyst, Light Screen!!"

"Umbreon, Faint Attack!!"

Umbreon disappeared as the lilac coloured Light Screen started to form. When Amethyst had completely covered herself in Light Screen, Umbreon appeared again and slammed into the Light Screen, but couldn't penetrate it.

"Umbreon, Rage!!"

"Amethyst, fire Psybeam at the ground!!"

Amethyst complied, and was soon soaring in the air above Umbreon.

"Aerial Body Slam!!"

"Agility!!"

"Teleport yourself to wherever Umbreon is!!"

It was fairly funny; Umbreon zipping around on the ground while Amethyst zipped around with him up in the air, falling all the time.

In the end, Amethyst hit Umbreon head-on; making it a instant one hit K.O. because of all the momentum she had gained.

"Umbreon is unable to battle!! The third round goes to Kris!!"

"Umbreon, you did a great job. Return, and take a rest." The scarlet light flashed and Umbreon returned to its Pokeball to rest. "Pretty good." Lionel admitted grudgingly. "But this won't be easy. Jolteon, go!!"

"You know, by using all these Eons you're giving me an advantage." Kris smirked. "My parents are Professor Maple and Alder, more commonly known as the Eevee-Eon Professors."

"What?!" Lionel gasped, but recovered quickly. "Well, that doesn't mean that you'll win you know. Let's go, Jolteon!!"

"Jolt jolt!!" Jolteon agreed.

"Pin Missile!!"

"Reflect, now!!"

This time a darker, more solid looking purple sphere appeared, enclosing Amethyst. The Pin Missiles bounced off harmlessly.

"Zap Cannon, now!!"

"Psychic!!"

A golden beam and a rainbow-coloured one passed each other and knocked both Amethyst and Jolteon off their feet. Carol ran over to inspect them, and then announced in a clear voice, "Both Espeon and Jolteon are unable to battle. This round is a draw!! The match goes to Kris, for winning two rounds."

"Amethyst, are you all right? Morning Sun, now," Kris coaxed. Light particles were absorbed by the jewel on her forehead, and suddenly she was all right. "You did great!! I'm so proud of you!!" Kris exclaimed, hugging Amethyst. "Now we'll get outta this freaky forest!!"
