Chapter 2: A Pokemon's Dream

Sometime later, Eevee is beginning to open it's blue eyes, and let out a yawn in reply. When it tries to get up, the Eevee feels the pain on it's paw, and lays back down on it's tummy. Eevee looks around to see that it's not in the forest anymore. Eevee finds itself in a room that has a large window, a few medical computers, and it's laying down on a bed.

Eevee tiredly wonder, "Where… am I?"

"I… I need to get away before he finds me," Eevee says to itself.

Eevee begins to get up again as it feels the pain on it's body. Once it's up, the little Eevee begins to walk as it limps, and manages to get off the bed and onto the floor. Then the determined Eevee continues to limp as it tries to leave the room.

Outside of the room, Serena, Dawn, and Nurse Joy are talking about the condition Eevee is in. However, Nurse Joy is having trouble believing that Eevee can talk and the kind of danger it's in.

"I know it's hard to believe, but I heard Eevee talking," Serena says.

"And if that poacher is around here, Eevee is in danger," Dawn says.

"Yes. But I'm still having the trouble believing it can talk. But the possibility of Eevee being in danger I'm willing to believe," Nurse Joy replies.

As the three continue to walk, the door that Eevee has open, and the little pokemon continues to leave the room as it continues to limp on it's paw. Eevee recognizes one of the girl to be the one that has help her, but knows that it can't stay to say high. So Eevee continues to be on it's way.

Piplup looks at the conversation it's trainer is in. When Piplup looks at the hall, it becomes stunned to see the Eevee is walking away from them.

Piplup panics to get it's trainer's attention ,"Pi pi pi pi pi pi pi…"

Hearing the water Pokemon crying out, the three look down to see it in apanic.

Dawn kneels down to her Pokemon, and asks, "Piplup, what's the matter?"

Piplup turns to face the halls, crying out as it points towards the hall. When Dawn looks to where Piplup is looking at, she gasp in shock to see the sight.

Dawn exclaims, "Eevee is limping away!"

Nurse Joy and Serena become shocked and look to see Eevee is up, and is trying to leave while it still injured. Nurse Joy, Serena, Dawn, and Piplup chase after it. Eevee tries it best to find a way out of the hallway, but isn't able to get so far because of it's injuries. Not to mention Nurse Joy gently grabs Eevee, and picks it up from the ground.

Nurse Joy hold Eevee, and says, "I'm sorry, but you can't go anywhere with the injuries. You need to rest."

Eevee tries to move out of Nurse Joy's arms, but the injuries are making it less easy on it.

"Please Eevee, you're still hurt and you need to rest in order to get better," Dawn says.

"She's right. You need to save your energy, and you're not safe with your injuries," Serena says.

Eevee stops moving, and says, "I can't. He's after me."

Nurse Joy and Dawn gasp in surprise to see Eevee is actually talking in a human voice. And by the voice, Eevee is a girl.

"You really can talk?" Nurse Joy questions.

"Yes. I can talk really well. But I must get going," Eevee says.

"Eevee, I know that you're trying to get away from someone, but you can't with the condition you're in," Dawn says.

"Dawn's right, you must say in the medical room until you're better," Nurse Joy.

Eevee sighs, "Okay. and I guess I can't go see the Pokemon Contest like this. Even though I really want to be a part of it."

"Pokemon Contest?" Dawn question.

Serena and Dawn look at each other with confused looks, then turn back to Eevee.

"Well, you see, I've always been a big fan of Pokemon Contests. Seeing the moves us Pokemon can do to make them look good is amazing. I practice my moves so that someday I can be in it," Eevee explains, showing a smile on its face.

"Wow! So you love Pokemon Contests," Dawn says.

Eevee nods her head, "Yeah. I first became interested when I saw a contest on t.v one day. I believe it's the one from the Sinnoh League. What really caught my attention and inspired me to want to be in a contest is on the final round. There was one girl coordinator name Zoey who has a Glameow and a Gallade and the other coordinator name Dawn with a Piplup and Togekiss. It was the most amazing contest battle I have ever seen. At the end, the Zoey won the contest with little amount of points she has when the time is up."

Dawn gasp with a smile, "Hey, that was the final round contest battle I was in with Zoey!"

"Really?! That was you battle with her. You sure look different than what you were wearing in the contest," Eevee replies with a smile.

"Well yeah. I don't wear those clothes all the time," Dawn relies.

"So in a way, it was Dawn's contest battle is what inspired you to be part of Pokemon Contests," Serena says.

"Yeah. I traveled along Hoenn to see all kind of battles, but whenever there's a contest in the town I'm in, I go to watch it from the t.v or get in the stadium to watch the pormance. I was actually going to watch the Lilycove contest…" Eevee explains with glee.

But becomes sad and nervous as it says, "That is, until that horrible man and his Pokemon attacked me. He said people will pay millions for a shiny Eevee with blue color eyes and I can talk. It scares to to hear that he wants to sell me to who knows who."

"That's awful," Nurse Joy says, looking stunned.

Dawn says with a determined look, "No need to worry Eevee, we'll protect you from that man."

"That's right, we won't let him hurt another part of your fur," Serena says.

"Thank you," Eevee replies with a smile.

"Nut remember, you need to get some rest and give your injuries time to heal. Alright," Nurse Joy replies.

Eevee nods its head, "Okay."

"And no need to worry, the Pokemon Contest in Lilycove City is only three days away so there's still time for you to get better," Dawn says.

"I'm glad," Eevee replies.

Eevee then lets out a yawn and is looking rather tired.

Seeing the tired look, Nurse Joy says, " I think now will be a good time to give Eevee some sleep. You both can come by later."

"Yes Nurse Joy," Serena replies.

After leaving the room to let Eevee have some sleep, Serena and Dawn decide to practice for their Pokemon Contest. What better way to practice than a Pokemon battle by the contest rules. Serena is using Braixen and Dawn is using Togekiss.

Serena calls out, "Braixen use flamethrower!"

Braixen uses the stick that light up and launch the powerful flame.

Then Dawn calls out, "Togekiss use aura sphere!"

Togekiss unleashes a speare of light blue aura and launch it at the flamethrower. The aura sphere and the flamethrower are hit at each other force. Soon enough, both attack explode and sparkles begin to surround the area.

Then Dawn shotus, "Now use Air Slash!"

Togekiss wings glow, and then launches some slashes from it's wings.

"Braixen use Fire Blast!" Serena calls out.

Braixen uses the stick to create a fire, and then uses it to create a flame going through five directions and aim it at the Togekiss. The air slash cause the fire blast to be cut to pieces.

Then Dawn calls out, "Use aura sphere!"

Togekiss uses the aura sphere at Braixen, and knocks it to the ground. The pokemon has become dizzy from the blast of the aura sphere.

Serena runs over, and asks, "Braixen, are you okay?"

"Xen," Braixen calmly calls out, feeling dizzy.

"Is Braixen okay?" Dawn asks.

"Braixen's okay, it just needs some rest," Serena answers.

"That's good. I think Togekiss can use some rest too," Dawn replies.

"Toge!" Togekiss calls out.

After the battle and later in the evening, Serena and Dawn are having dinner with their Pokemon. The Pokemon are having some Pokemon Food, Poffins and Pokepuffs. And the Pokemon love the taste of the poffins and the puffs.

"Those looks like good puffs Serena," Dawn complements.

Serena answers, "Yeah. And the poffins you made looks good too."

"Thanks. I learned our to make poffins from my mom. Of course, while I was on my journey I was able to make my own recipes," Dawn says.

"That's great. I made specialized Pokepuffs for my pokemon. I even put berries in my puffs to give my Pokemon Energy. Of course for Braixen, I put a twig on it," Serena explains.

"A twig? That's interesting," Dawn comments.

"Yeah. I guess Pokepuff and Poffins are alike in some way, but they are made differently," Serena replies.

Serena becomes a bit saden, and says, "I wonder how Eevee is doing?"

"Yeah. I'm wondering about it myself. I hope it's doing okay," Dawn replies.

"Me too," Serena sadly replies.

Dawn has an idea, "I know, maybe we can visit Eevee tomorrow to see how it doing? And we can ask Nurse Joy if we can show Eevee our contest performance. I'm sure that will cheer it up for sure."

"Dawn, that's a great idea," Serena agrees with a smile.

Dawn nods her head, and says, "Then it's settled, tomorrow we'll give Eevee a good Pokemon Contest Performance that I'm sure it will love."

"Right. Let's do it," Serena says.

The two girls nod their heads in reply.

In the forest outside of Lilycove City, the Pokemon Poacher, Scar has reach the outskirt of the forest, and look to see the city. HE suspects that the target he is looking for is in the city somewhere. He decides that tomorrow he is going to search for the target and capture it once and for all.
