A Journey to the End

Chapter 1:

"Huh?" I grumbled as I slowly opened my dark blue eyes to see Skye, an Eevee who had been my best friend since I was two. My name is Clover and I am a female Eevee, my fur is a light brown and my mane is almost white. We are both five years old.

Skye was brown with light brown chest fur. He always wore a bracelet I made him; it was a stone with two leaves joined together. I had one just like it.

"What am I doing?" I said, looking around. "You got hit in the head with a rock while all of us were playing." I looked around at all the pokemon staring at me. As I stood up I said, "I'm fine, thank you all though." I was embarrassed; I didn't like standing out in the crowd.

Skye and I watched as everyone left.

As we left down a small forest path, we began to talk.

"Skye," I said, "I'm tired of being the pathetic one, the loser."

"You're not a loser, just because you don't have as much ability as the rest doesn't make you a loser."

"I want to leave." I said, sitting down with a hard stare into Skye's eyes.

Skye stopped dead in his tracks. "You want to what! You can't leave! You're only five and besides where are you going to go?"

"I can live on my own and I don't know, anywhere but here, as long as it's somewhere where no one knows me. I'll get stronger along the way."

Skye stared at me for a moment. "You're not going alone. I'm going with you."

"No, this is my journey."

"Well now, it's our journey."

"Fine, we'll go together." I finally said.

We smiled at each other and headed home.

That night I fell asleep on my pile of leaves thinking about the wonderful adventures that we could encounter. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

The next morning I woke up bright and early ready to begin the journey, that is after I got Skye's lazy tail up.

I gently nuzzled Skye with my nose. No response.

I pushed him over. Nothing, again.

I bit his ear. Nothing. I sat there, annoyed.

"Skye!" I screamed. "Wahh! Who, what, when, where?" he said, startled.

"Come on! It's time for our adventure to begin!" I said in excitement.

Skye grumbled as he slowly walked out into the sunlight.

I threw an apple at him. "Eat up. You've got ten minutes then I'm gone!"

I sat and waited, until finally a bloated Skye came walking up. "I'm ready." He said.

Two hours later, we were headed up a narrow grass trail. Skye moaned and I turned around.

"Can't. Walk. Another. Step." He said, fake pulling himself across the ground.

I gave an annoyed look. "If you wouldn't have eaten like a Snorlax this morning, you wouldn't have this problem."

"I thought I'd walk it off, it's not working out so well." Skye said, breathing heavily.

"Get up and come one."

He growled and stood up. We continued on.

I loved seeing all the new areas and pokemon that weren't around my homeland. Very interesting I would say.

I pulled out the map I had in my back pouch. "We are here," I said pointing to a small forest area," And we need to get here." Pointing to a mountainous area covered mostly in clouds; meaning that the area wasn't well traveled.

Suddenly, I heard a low growl. I looked around. *Bam!* I went sliding and hit a boulder. Ahead of me was a Zigzagoon staring angrily into my eyes. I stood up and got into a fighting position. The Zigzagoon ran at me at alarming speed. I jumped straight up and began a shadow ball to knock the Zigzagoon out. The dark purple orb grew in front of my face and I released it into the air, hitting the Zigzagoon as it turned around. Zigzagoon rolled across the ground suddenly jumping up. It stared into my eyes and I stared back. Zigzagoon turned around and ran off into the dense bushes.

I stood up, looking Skye's way."Why didn't you help me out?"

"You could handle it. I took that time to take a nice little nap."

"You lazy thing," I laughed," How do I get along with you?"

"Because-," he said being cut off by me. "Don't say because I love you."

He cut his eyes. "Never mind then."

I laughed as we continued on.

The sun was low in the sky as we piled up leaves inside a dead tree to sleep in for the night.

I lay down on my end of the tree, admiring the blue, green, red, yellow, and orange sunset. It was beautiful. I looked over, about to speak to Skye, when I noticed he was already curled up, sound asleep. I smiled slightly and turned over, quickly falling asleep.

The next morning, I woke up to quite a surprise.

As I sat up, the early morning glare hitting my face, I saw Skye sitting over beside a pile of apples that he had apparently gathered.

I yawned.

"Well, good morning sleepyhead." Skye said in a joyful tone.

"Morning..." I said walking over to him," Where did you get all these apples?"

"I gathered them this morning, while you was asleep." He said smiling.

I looked at him and then the glowing red apples. "Well, let's eat up. We gotta head out soon if we wanna good days trip."

Skye shook his head in agreement, handing me an apple, while biting into one himself.

Two slow hours later, we were heading up a dark trail.

"This is creepy," I said to Skye, looking around at the dark, shadowed woods, the trees casting a split shadow all around us as we walked. "Skye?" I said, getting no reply.

I turned around, seeing an overjoyed Skye walking behind me. He skipped along, sniffing the air and humming.

"Really, Skye? Really?" I said.

"Really what?" he said, a confused look on his face.

"Look around," I said," this place is like….Creepville, and you're back there skipping and humming and happy?"

"Ummm," he said, peering around at the dark forest,"Ok. Never mind this place gives me the creeps. Just didn't notice before I guess." He said." Where are we anyway?"

"I have no clue," I said, getting the map out again, looking down at its crinkled pages," We're somewhere right here," I said, pointing to a black dot.

"That's where we're at?" he said," It's a dot."

"Well, that's where we're at, so we'll just have to get through it." I said, continuing up the path.

We slowly continued up the dark path, the winding trails that led no where. All along the way we saw many ghost pokemon, Gengar constantly jumping out to scare us, Haunters floating around, and Murkrow screeching out into the cold, dark night.

"Don't you think we need to stop and rest?" Skye said, yawning soon after.

"You want to stop here? In this place?" I said, a stern tone in my voice.

"Yes, my eyes are about to fall out I'm so tired." He said.

"Fine." I growled.

We found a small cave not far from the path and curled up.

I fell asleep instantly; I must have been more tired than I thought.

The next morning I woke up to a glorious view. The dark, shadowed trees were now glowing a vibrant green, the dark path now made of soft dirt, flowers blooming all over.

Still staring at the view, I shook Skye awake.

"Huh? What?" He said sleepily, then turning to the cave entrance," Wow! What a view."

"I know," I said, rubbing my sleepy eyes awake.

The sun was just coming up over the mountains, truly beautiful.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly we heard a loud noise up above the cave, we ran to outside. There was a dark cloud heading our way!

"Ahhh!" We screamed in unison.

"It's Zubat!" I hollered to Skye, the Zubat's screech deafening both of us.

We ran hurridly back into the cave hiding behind a small boulder.

Suddenly, we saw the cloud flying into the cave, all the Zubat perching themselves upside down onto the cave ceiling, the screeching still deafening.

Skye began backing out, pulling my tail to make me come along.

We backed way out and plopped down beside a large Oran berry bush, both breathing heavily.

"Whoa," Skye said, "I knew them things were loud, but I didn't know they were THAT loud."

"Me either." I said, pulling a juicy Oran berry from the bush.

Skye followed along, grabbing many Oran berries from the bush, eating them like they'd be his last meal, while I sat watching him, eating mine slowly.

Once again, we headed back up the long, forest trail….
