Pokémon: Destiny of 8
Chapter 1
Authors note: Heeeyyy guys! This is my first Pokémon fanfic (yay!) so sorry if it's not very good. Please leave reviews; I love to see what the people think of my fanfics. :) I've had scenes for this going through my head for ages. I kept thinking to myself: 'No, finish the other fanfic first. Finish the other one first.' and, well, I've decided to ignore that voice. That's all for now, so enjoy! Oh and the name FireAvenger? My brother came up with that, not me.

Prologue
The eight Pokémon huddled together as the great beast loomed over them. They had no idea what it was. It wasn't a Pokémon and it certainly wasn't a human, they knew that much.
"I'm scared," murmured one of them.
"Me too," said another voice. None of them had any idea what to do. The beast drew closer to them. The Pokémon moved backwards. One of them gasped as it hit the wall of the small cave they were in. The grey walls, slick with water, blocked their exit. The smallest of all of them let out a quiet whimper. Suddenly, the beast stopped, and then there was a bright flash of light before everything around them went black.
Chapter 1
I groan and slowly open my eyes. I'm lying on my back on the floor of a cave. I have no idea where this particular cave was though. I roll over onto my stomach and look towards my paws. Except there was one problem. I don't have paws. I have hands. Instantly, I sit up and look down, expecting to see fur, but instead seeing some kind of cloth. A dress, I think the humans call it. It's red, orange and yellow, all swirly and mixed together. I look at my hind paws, but I have feet. What was up with that? I could have sworn I was a Pokémon last night. Red-brown hair hangs just below my shoulders and I can tell from a nearby puddle I still have the same pale blue eyes. Why have I suddenly transformed into a human? I stand up on my feet, but it's kind of awkward since I'm used to standing on all fours, not twos.
"Hello?" I call out. No answer. There was no one else here. I walk unsteadily to the mouth of the cave. I wince, temporarily blinded by the harsh sunlight after the darkness of the cave. I'm in a meadow. A cool breeze is blowing and the green grass and multi-coloured flowers swish in the wind. I take a step onto the grass looking for any sign of human (or Pokémon) life. I see none, so I head towards the forest at the edge of the field. I'm just about to enter when there is a shout behind me.
"Hey! Girl!" I blink and turn around. There's a girl in a dress standing there. Her dress is pretty much the same as mine but in different shades of purple (and a bit of white. Oh and some purple-pink) instead of the colours of fire. Her hair is purple-pink. Her eyes are a dark shade of purple. She also has a red diamond on her forehead. "Do you know where I am?" the girl asks. I shake my head.
"Sorry, I'm lost too. Do you want to come with me on my 'quest' to find out where I am?" I grinned at her. The girl giggled.
"Sure. What's your name? I'm Spirit." Spirit replied. I tilted my head. I knew an Espeon with the name Spirit. Actually, she was one of the seven other Pokémon I got separated from. Strange, right?
"Amber," I say. Spirit nodded and took the lead. Oh, that reminds me. I haven't told what's happened to me yet, have I? I was with seven others. We were all Pokémon. I was a Vulpix; Spirit was an Espeon (as I said before); Lilypad (a.k.a Lily) was a Totodile; Saphira was a Bagon; Dark was an Umbreon; Flare was a Flareon; FireAvenger (we call him Fire. FireAvenger is a lame name) was a Charmander; and finally, LeafBlade (once again, LeafBlade=lame. Leaf is cool though) was a Grovyle. I don't know if all the others turned into humans to, though I'm willing to bet Spirit the Espeon is the very same Spirit walking right in front of me. We were all travelling together, looking for our missing friends Flower, a Bellossom, and Sing, a Jigglypuff. They had just disappeared one day so me and the others set off to find them. One day (yesterday to be exact. I think it was yesterday. I don't know how long I was unconscious), we were attacked. We don't know what we were attacked by, it was impossible to tell. The last thing I remember was a bright flash and, well, you know what happened from then. "Hey Spirit," I say, trying to sound casual. "Have you ever heard of Pokémon turning into humans?" Spirit frowns at me and narrows her eyes.
"No, why?" she asks.
"Oh," I said, trying to think of an excuse for why I would want to know that. "Just... err... wondering." I reply, speaking the first words that come into my head. "Have you seen any Espeons recently?" This caught Spirit of guard, as if she, to, had realized just I was. Her eyes widen, she gasps but quickly covers it up. Hmm. Maybe she's just stupid or something. She could at least reply, but she remains silent. Who is she, queen of silent? The Espeon I know is nowhere near as quiet as that. I mean, if she wanted to ask me a question with a hidden meaning, like I just did (if you didn't already figure it out already, the hidden meaning is 'are you who I think you are?' Or something like that. I dunno, I'm not good at this 'hidden meaning' crap), she could have said something like 'no. Seen any Vulpixs recently?' Probably would have caught me off guard, even if I was suspecting it. Geez, I'm an idiot. Who the hell is surprised by something they see coming? Me, apparently.

Eventually, after many hours of being lost, we arrive at the edge of the forest. There's a dirt path leading towards a town I can barely see in the distance. Spirit is just about to step out of the cover of the trees when I suddenly pull her back and shove her behind a tree.
"What the hell are y—"she begins, but I quickly cover her mouth.
"Ssshhh" I hiss. There was a shadow heading towards us. Where had I seen that shadow before?
I stand in the cave, cowering against the wall with the warm, frightened, bodies of the other seven crowding around me. The dark shadow towers over us.
"I'm scared," Lily whispers to me. That was a first. Lily wasn't scared of anything.
"Me too." I whisper back. I try to crawl back further, but I can't. The walls won't let me get out. Dark lets out a gasp as he, to, hits the wall. The beast comes closer to us. Saphira, the smallest of us all, whimpers. I just manage to think 'we're gunna die!' before there is a flash of light, and everything goes black.
My knees buckle and I let out a small, quiet cry as I slip to the ground.
"Amber?" Spirit whispers to me in a worried voice. "You OK?"
"That... That shadow." I say to no one in particular. "It was there when we turned into humans!"
