I looked at the previous chapters and realized I forgot to write disclaimers, so from now on there will be.

Xavier stared in amazement as Feebas swam to the Tentacruel and Wailord with a determined look on its face.

"Feebas!" It shouted.

The Tentacruel and Wailord, however, didn't react. They loomed over the Feebas, staring down at it as if it were a pathetic peasant. The Wailord finally gave a response and launched a Hydro Pump at the fish.

Feebas quickly dodged the pump of water. Attacking on its own accord, it shot a Water Pulse at the Wailord.

The Wailord shook it off like a dust particle. It quickly swam around in circles and created a Whirlpool that slowly sucked the Feebas in. Feebas tried desperately to escape the wrath of the whirlpool, but to no avail. Tentacruel harshly slammed the fish with its tentacle, sending it flying through the air. It landed in front of Xavier.

"Feebas! Are you okay?" Xavier rushed forward to help his comrade. The Feebas was dazed, but not done yet.

"Feebas...don't continue...you'll get beaten," Xavier warned. However, the fish ignored its Trainer's command and swam forward again, only to be knocked back by a Poison Jab.

Xavier could only watch in horror as his Pokemon got pummeled, recover, and get pummeled again.

"Feebas! Stop!" Xavier shouted. The Feebas looked at its trainer.

"Feebas, you don't have to do this for me. You're my first Pokemon, I don't want to lose you. Let's get out of here," Xavier said weakly, fear in his eyes.

The Feebas stared at its Trainer for a long time. It faced back to the Pokemon. It yelled.

"Feeeeeeeeeeeeebas!"

A white aura coated the Feebas, engulfing the area with light. Xavier stared wondrously as the small fish enlarged itself, transforming its shabby fins into a beautiful, sleek and shiny coat. Its short whiskers transformed into long, red ones. Its body form elongated into that of a sea serpent, a majestic form that radiated grace. Its short stubby fins grew into a graceful fan shape.

"Milotic," it said. Xavier stared in amazement. Is this what the old man meant when he should train his Feebas, and something good will come out of it?

The fruits of your labor. The words rung loudly in Xavier's head.

Xavier's amazement turned into a smile. "All right, Milotic. Let's take these two on!"

He then realized he had no idea what Milotic's attacks were.

"Um...act on your own accord!" Xavier said, feeling useless.

However, Milotic obeyed. It swam gracefully through the water, swifter and faster than before. It launched itself into the air and shot a focused Dragonbreath at Tentacruel. The Tentacruel got hit with full impact, but it did not back down. Gathering energy, it unleashed an Icy Wind attack, aimed directly at Milotic.

The Milotic countered by covering itself with an Aqua Ring, healing any damage done to it. It then threw itself toward the Tentacruel and performed an Aqua Tail, slamming its eel-like tail at it. The Tentacruel spun around dizzily and collapsed on the floor.

Now the Wailord was left. Milotic gazed at its opponent fiercely. The Wailord gathered its strength and jumped into the air, getting ready for a Double-Edge attack. It hardened its sides and threw itself with all its might toward Milotic.

Using its slippery body, Milotic leapt to the right, dodging the incoming Wailord's attack. Summoning its energy, Milotic shot off a freezing Ice Beam just as the Wailord launched a massive Surf attack.

The two moves collided, leaving the result as a frozen tidal wave. Quick to react, the Wailord slid on the ice, taking advantage of its slippery surface. It shot off another Hydro Pump.

Milotic dodged the attack by smashing through the ice and back under the water. Wailord soon followed and pursued Milotic.

Milotic shot off numerous Water Pulses at the ice-encrusted surface. Bits of ice fell down on the Wailord following it. Soon Wailord found itself trying to dodge chunks of ice sinking from above, slowly piling down on it. Milotic finished it off by shooting a brightly-colored Dragon Pulse directly above Wailord. The gigantic chunk of ice was unavoidable. Struggling, the Wailord tried dodge it, but to no avail. The chunk of ice fell down along with its victim.

A minute later, the Wailord floated back up, knocked out.

Xavier stood in awe by Milotic's amazing performance. He rushed over to his new Pokemon.

"That was awesome, Feebas! Er...I mean Milotic!" Xavier exclaimed. "Let's go home." He put Milotic back in its Pokeball and started to walk home. On the way, he spotted the Mossdeep Gym again.

"Watch out, Tate and Liza. I'm gonna beat you two soon," Xavier said to himself. He stared at the gym for a long time. Then he rushed home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Xavier eagerly grabbed Milotic's Pokeball and went to train it some more. Things were about to get much harder now.

Xavier familiarized himself with Milotic's new attacks, and set up drills that best utilized their abilities.

For example, he would set up targets that would be taken down by Milotic's projectile attacks, or build a dummy to take Milotic's Aqua Tail.

The two worked all morning, and stopped to take a rest. Xavier drank from a cool, clean pond nearby as Milotic swam in circles in the ocean.

As Xavier let out a content sigh, he heard rustling nearby. He looked up to see a tuft of brown fur disappear. Cautiously, Xavier followed it. Stalking it carefully, he peered through the tall weeds to see a small, brown fox-like Pokemon trying to steal Xavier's packed lunch. Xavier burst out of his hiding place.

"Hey, stop stealing my lunch!" He yelled, fist raised.

The Pokemon revealed its large round eyes and looked surprised. Quickly, it leapt in the weeds.

Xavier opened his lunch. Most of it was still untouched, thankfully. He stood up. What was that Pokemon?

He flipped open his Pokedex, using its sensor, tried to find the Pokemon. Whacking the weeds, he found the Pokemon nearby and recognized it as an Eevee. His hand reached for a spare Pokeball on his belt. He grabbed it firmly as he called out, "Milotic! Come here!"

Milotic immediately jumped out of the ocean to where Xavier was, staring silently at the Eevee in front of it.

Xavier shouted out, "Water Gun, Milotic!"

The Eevee swiftly dodged the water attack, and ran toward Milotic, eager to hit it with a Quick Attack. Milotic quickly slithered out of the way.

"Now try a Dragonbreath!" Xavier commanded. "Follow up with Aqua Tail!"

Milotic let out a fiery blast of power, which hit Eevee head-on. The Pokemon let out a cry as it was knocked backward. It somersaulted over and over again. Enraged, the Eevee used an Agility to boost its speed. Milotic rushed forward to attack with its Aqua Tail, which it had trained on. Eevee, thanks to its speed enhancement, dodged it easily. The Aqua Tail left a gaping hole on the ground due to its power.

The Eevee smirked to itself as it rushed behind Milotic and smashed it with a Take Down. The Milotic took full impact of the attack and fell forward. Steadily, it got back up.

"Don't give up now, Milotic!" Xavier encouraged. "Heal yourself with an Aqua Ring!"

Milotic got up and formed a watery barrier around itself, recovering its health. It got up confidently and awaited its next command.

Xavier let out his breath in relief. "Good. Now try an Ice Beam!"

Eevee found itself staring at a freezing beam hurtling its way. It quickly sidestepped to dodge the attack, and jumped on Milotic to use a Bite attack. Milotic quickly knocked the Eevee off before it could do any serious damage.

Eevee didn't like being shook off. No it didn't. Angered, it began gathering energy in front of it.

Xavier's eyes widened in shock. What was that attack? He whipped out his Pokedex.

Eevee was forming a purple-ish aura around it. Its energy gathered formed into a sphere. Crying, it launched the ominous energy ball toward the Milotic. The sphere hit Milotic squarely, and Milotic was knocked back a long distance. It groaned.

"Miiiiiilllloooooootiiiiiiicc...."

Xavier's Pokedex recognized the attack as Shadow Ball.

Since when could Eevee learn Shadow Ball?

Xavier redirected his focus on his injured Milotic. Rushing forward, he gave a Hyper Potion to his Milotic. The potion aided Milotic's wounds and Milotic got up, all restored of health.

"Milotic! Let's finish this off with a Hyper Beam!"

Milotic opened its mouth wide and gathered its own energy. The Eevee took a step backward, trying to figure out what was going on. Milotic aimed its head toward Eevee, energy almost to a peak level. It unleashed the beam directly at the brown Pokemon.

The Eevee didn't stand a chance and flew backward. It stayed on the floor, knocked out.

Xavier eagerly threw a Pokeball, hoping it would work. The Pokeball shot its signature red beam at the Eevee, and took it inside the Pokeball. It fell on the floor.

One wobble. Xavier held his breath.

Two wobbles. He crossed his fingers.

Three.

Xavier let out his breath. He reached down to pick up the Pokeball.

"Yes!" He let out a triumphant cheer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Xavier returned home, he placed his newfound Pokemon on the shelf. He jumped on his bed, took off his headphones, and patted the Pokeball.

"We're gonna have a busy day tomorrow, Eevee."

Click.

The light went out. The darkness came, and Xavier fell asleep.

Sorry this chapter took a little longer. I had to stop writing due to...physical injuries. Next chapters are going to take a little longer, but not as long.
