The pokemon behind the mysterious voice finally revealed itself, she was a Gardevoir. She glide gracefully towards Chance her white train flowing behind her, her ruby red eyes never looked away from him. Of course! Now it makes a since. Gardevoir is one of the psychic pokemon that has the ability Future Sight. Okay, now it makes since how she knew about saving my village.

"Relax your mind," she spoke softly to Chance, snapping me from my daze," Close your eyes and relax." She put her forehead against Chance's and place her hands on either side of his head, concentrating. In that moment they looked slightly like lovers and t made my blood boil, but I repressed it, taking deep breaths.

"Mhmm," she said, pulling her head from Chance's. He collapsed and started breathing heavily, I ran to his side quickly.

"Are you alright?," I ask pulling him to his feet, checking for injuries.

"Yeah, It's just...Woah. Rush of pain," he chuckled still dazed.

"Mhmm," the Gardevoir repeated.

"What? What is it?," I asked curiously, turning so we could face her.

"It is not your future to hear, Vulpix. Growltihe," she addressed him," Do you wish to hear it in private or may I speak freely?"

"Go ahead...," he was still out of breath," Speak freely."

She closed her eyes and spoke," I see great happiness in your future, Growlithe. Laughing, smiling, good memories. I also see a brilliant love in your future...Ahhh, you are in love now, are you not?"

Chance placed his paw on mine," Yes, yes I am," he spoke smiling down at me. I blushed and nuzzled into his thick fluffy chest, still with one limb wrapped around him, supporting him.

"But, wait! Wait, I see... I see that this love in new and weak. Yes. It may not last, the journey you are following, it may falter and die." I gasped, shocked that that was even a possibility. What I felt for Chance was so real and alive, I could never imagine it dying and ending. I made my heart ache just thinking about it,

Gardevoir opened one eye and looked at me, telling me to remain silent. She continued,"I can also see happier side, where your love lasts through the ages, but it will take tremendous effort on both your parts to get there."

I look up at Chance, terrified and he looked down to me nervously. Before he could reassure me, the Gardevoir carried on with her reading, placing her fingers on her head,"Ahh, now I see it. I see you leaving. I see you leaving your friends, maybe not be your own choosing, but leaving nonetheless." She opened her eyes and gazed down on us, looking sadly sympathetic. " I hope that you can handle your future," she curtsies politely," As well as you handled your past."

Chance looks to me, then Jack, then back to me petrified and confused, to scared to speak. He swallows the lump in his throat," Thank you, miss. Thank you for reading my future... and my past?"

She nods her head respectfully," When you wish to look forward, you must also look back."

Chance nods slowly, considering it. "Since I have grown found of your Vulpix, I will read another future," she smiles, looking around at the group. I imagined her smile to be icy and cruel, but it was genuine and sweet. It brightened up the trail and made me feel happy inside.

"Me! Me, me, me! Oh, Please, Me!," Theresa pounced forward. "Please, if you would be so kind, Garedevoir as to read my future," Theresa knelled in front of her.

Gardevoir looked at her, considering it. "Is it okay with you, dear Vulpix?," she turned to me, waiting for my response.

Me? Me? Why does it matter if I care? The other day, I was just a stupid girl to you... Why do I matter now? I don't control you. It your gift, you do as you please. "Uhmm.. I don't mind..?"

"Okay then," she turned back to Theresa," Stand, Victini." Theresa jumped up like a rocket, probably not wanting to upset the Gardevoir again. Theresa was shaking slightly, terrified to be so close to her. "Be still," she whispered and placed her head on Theresa's. They stayed that way fro a moment, nobody moved, I didn't even breath until Gardevoir pulled away. Theresa opened her eyes and I let out my breath, her blue eyes were bulging with pain and fear and she, just like Chance, fell to the ground. I went over to her, to make sure she was okay.

"Theresa, are you all right?"

"It hurts... it hurts a lot," she whispered. I tried to help her stand, but she fell again, so I placed her sit on my back carefully. "What... What is my future?," she asked barely audible.

"Do I speak freely as I did before?," Gardevoir asked, her back turned to us.

"Yes," Theresa mumbled into my fur.

"In your future, little Victini, I see suffering. I see massive amounts of pain, that have to be endured physically and mentally. It may push you over the edge, so trust in your friend," she nodded to me," She will help with the pain. On the bright side, I see love," Gardevoir made a unrecognizable face," I believe it's love. It's very cloudy, I'm uncertain. Some more good news, I see you meeting with a loved one for the first time. I see one more bad news, betrayal. Someone close to you will betray you, my dear. It will be on a massive scale, completely unforgivable, so be careful," with that she opened her eyes and smiled again. It was so beautiful and perfect, it made me jealous.

She turned to me,"I hope that you will return, little Vulpix. I have grown found of you and hope you don't end in dismay, before coming to visit again."

"Why have frown found of me?," I ask confused.

"I don't quite know yet..." she said in a whimsical way, like it didn't matter, all she needed to know was that she liked me and that was enough.

"I'll try and come visit, okay?"

"Good. I wish to see you soon, dear one. Forgive me for our first encounter, I did not mean to be so cruel." I can't believe it.. She is asking for my forgiveness? From me? What is happening?

I smile at her, genuinely happy," It is all forgotten."

She grasped my paws in her hands," I am overjoyed." She peered into my eyes with her deep ruby iris'. I thought that maybe she was trying to read me, like she had done the others, but all she did was smile, then turn away. She glided back into the Forrest until she had completely dispersed, and never glanced back once.

After Gardevoir had gone, nobody moved. The sun started to peek over the horizon when Jack broke the silence, "Wow. What a way to start the day, huh Chance?"

"Yeah," Chance spoke unenthusiasticly," Great way to start the day."

"Well...," Jack swayed impatiently, " Let's get moving. We have stayed here to long."

"I'm so tired," Theresa said nuzzling into my back, closing her eyes.

I looked up at Jack, "I can't carry her." He rolled his eyes and knelled down so Chance and I could transfer her to his back. He stood up slowly, so Theresa wouldn't fall.

"I doubt I'll be able to walk at a normal pace with her laying on my back. If she was sitting, it would be fine, but like this, she could fall at any time," he told us unhappily.

"I don't think I'll be making a normal pace either, bud. Her doing that thing, really drains your energy," Chance said picking up Theresa's bag.

"I told you we shouldn't have brought her, look, it's not even the first day and she is already dead weight. LITERALLY!," he complained.

"Stop your whining," I tell him. "We have a long way to go, yes? So let's saddle up get moving," I brush past him, walking down the trail. I turn back to see Chance and Jack staring at each other in a shocked state. "Well... Are you we going or not?" They snapped out of it and Chance grabbed the bag while Jack started to follow me down the trail.
