Chapter 3: To the Palace

The three headed towards the palace… of course dealing with monsters, transformed as girls, in a strange world meeting with people with strange abilities… this was extremely strange day… what was a little unnerving was Kakashi reading a book and giggling when something happen.

"What are you reading anyways?" asked Gary looking to see... she then began to blush bright red, "I didn't need to see that…"

It was now awkwardly silent…

"What's the book about?" asked Ace decided to take a quick peak, there was small trickle of blood coming from his nose, "Are you a pervert?"

"No… of course not… well not as perverted as the guy writes this." said Kakashi.

"What… is does he hide at hot springs looking at the naked girls…" said Gary.

"How did you know?" asked Kakashi.

It was even more silent…

"So… Uh… Gary… why is that fox following us?" asked Ace.

"It's called an Eevee… and it wants to help us fight the monsters out her…" said Gary.

Eevee nodded…

"Maybe we should get to know each other…" said Kakashi putting away his book.

"Really how…" said Ace.

"Let's say our names… our likes and dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future." said Kakashi.

"You go first." said Gary.

"I'm Hatake Kakashi… I have many likes and dislikes… hobbies… I have plenty of hobbies… dreams of the future… it don't matter that you know…" said Kakashi.

"All we learned was his name…" they thought.

That's when many monsters appeared.

"Oh man…" muttered Gary.

"Don't worry we can take them on…" said Kakashi.

"Yeah sure… but I am going to do? Cower in the corner?" said Gary.

"Use your giant can opener!" said Ace.

"Fine…" sighed Gary.

He ran over to the Youma but he was batted away.

"You okay?" asked Kakashi.

"Look like the pretty birdies…" said Gary.

The Youma turned into attention onto Gary, it was about to strike when Eevee jump onto the arm of the Youma and bit it. Gary managed to shake off the dizziness

"Eevee!" she cried, "Please! You don't have to fight!"

But Eevee just bit harder, that's when Eevee began to glow…

"What's going on with that fox?" asked Ace.

"It's called an Eevee… and it's evolving!" said Gary.

The glowing Eevee began to change shape and get bigger, once the glow subsided, it was now a black sleek looking fox with gold rings all on it's body in different places.

"All right Eevee evolved into Umbreon!" said Gary.

"Are you as lost as I am…" said Ace.

"Maybe…" said Kakashi.

The bite, Eevee… no wait Umbreon was giving the Youma began to intensify until the Youma began to scream in pain, Umbreon stopped then deliver a Quick Attack.

"All right Umbreon!" cheered Gary.

Umbreon ran over to it's trainer.

"You evolved to protect me… didn't you?" said Gary.

Umbreon nodded happily, after all the key to making Umbreon evolve was friendship.

"I'm still lost…" said Ace.

"Don't worry I think he'll tell us later…" said Kakashi.

"Okay Umbreon! Use Quick Attack on those monsters!" said Gary.

Umbreon used a fast pace attack and rammed into several of the monster destroying them… in fact it began to fight all the Youma… to such an extent that Kakashi and Ace didn't need to fight any more.

"Good work Umbreon!" said Gary.

"So… what just happened?" asked Ace.

"Well okay I'll explain!" said Gary, "Many Pokemon, have the ability to evolve or in other word grow stronger and change. Eevee has a branched evolution, by using special stone on it can become either Flareon, Vaporeon or Jolteon or if one utilizes their friendship at a certain time of day it will either become Espeon or Umbreon as what happened here…"

"I see…" said Ace with a sweat drop who wasn't expecting that kind of explanation… especially from a 12 year old.

"Your pretty smart when it comes to Pokemon." said Kakashi.

"Well, my grandpa is a famous Pokemon Researcher." said Gary.

"So that explains it…" thought Ace.

"Umbreon!" shouted Umbreon.

That's when more Youma began to show up out of the blue.

"Oh man… there's more…" said Gary.

"Gary do you think you should fight…" said Ace.

"There's too many of them…" said Gary, "So I'll try…"

"Be careful…" said Kakashi.

"I know… I don't know how to fight like you guys…" said Gary, "Okay if I figure out where to strike…" she thought.

A Youma tried to attack Gary but Gary managed to dodge and use the giant can opener to slash at it's leg… it was fished off by several kunai lunged into it's body.

"Thanks Kakashi!" said Gary.

"Remember, Gary I think if you use your head then you'll be fine…" said Kakashi.

Gary nodded... and began to think instead of awkwardly swigging around, dodged and thought where to strike. While Kakashi used his jutsus on the Youma and Ace used his fire powers.

"You know what I was thinking…" said Ace.

"What?" said Kakashi.

"We should use these things." Said Ace, "You know… test them out."

"Do you know how to use yours?" asked Kakashi.

"I'll figure it out…" said Ace with a sweat drop.

"I sure you will…" said Kakashi unsheathing her sword, she ran towards a Youma and sliced off it's arm.

"You know how to use a sword… don't you…" said Ace.

"Yes I do…," said Kakashi rubbing the back of her head.

"Okay this mirror has to be magic of some sort after all it shows the enemies weakness…" thought Ace, she closed her eyes in focus… that's when she knew what to do "Submarine Reflection!" she called out.

The mirror shot out a light and lit hit all the Youma, a part of the Youma glowed.

"That was cool…" said Gary.

Kakashi only nodded…

"I can't believe I did it…" said Ace.

"Okay! We have to finish them off!" said Kakashi.

"Right!" said Gary and Ace as Umbreon nodded in agreement.

Gary sliced a Youma in half then called out to Umbreon "Umbreon! Use Bite!"

Umbreon bit the Youma hard on the weak spot then it turned to dust.

Ace used his firepower on the Youma while Kakashi used various jutsus… eventually all the Youma that came to attack were gone all three men turned woman were sitting on the ground breathing heavily.

"Umbreon return…" said Gary returning her Pokemon to it's Pokeball, "That was a new experience…"

"What never fought before?" said Ace.

"I thought we've been though this! I never fought before…" said Gary glaring at the pirate.

"Calm down you two… all that matters is that their gone…" said Kakashi.

"I guess… your right…" said Ace.

"Fine…" said Gary.

That's when Sailor Pluto appeared to them once again.

"Hello…" said Sailor Pluto

"Oh, it's you again" said Gary.

"I'm here to explain some things" said Sailor Pluto with a sweat drop.

"What sort of things?" asked Gary.

"You see it's about your Umbreon…" said Sailor Pluto, "You see when Eevee evolved it gained special powers…"

"What sort of special powers?" asked Gary.

"Well you see since Umbreon evolved here, it allows it do a lot of damage to a Youma while at the same time does normal damage to another Pokemon." said Sailor Pluto.

"Really… why?" asked Gary.

"Because it evolved here and not in your world… you know how moonlight is the key to getting Eevee to evolve into Umbreon… well there moon here is special…" said Sailor Pluto.

"Oh wow…" said Gary.

"I also have good news…" said Sailor Pluto.

"Even better than Gary's thing changing…" said Ace.

"It's Eevee evolving into Umbreon!" yelled Gary.

"Right…" said Ace with a sweat drop.

"Well…" said Sailor Pluto with a sweat drop, "You see you managed to destroy all the Youma… which mean the rest of your journey is safe."

All of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can finally put this thing behind us…" said Gary.

"You said it…" said Ace.

Sailor Pluto looked down to the ground.

"What is it?" asked Kakashi.

"Oh it's nothing…" said Sailor Pluto, "I'll be back when you'll need my help.

Sailor Pluto once again disappeared.

"So let's head over the Palace!" said Gary.

"Alright…" said Ace.

Kakashi stood there silently, thinking, "What was that look on her face… there's something she's not telling us…"

"Kakashi…" said Ace.

"Oh… sorry… I just have something on my mind…." said Kakashi.

"That's okay… we should head over to the Palace now…" said Gary.

And so they headed to the Palace with out any trouble… well at one point Kakashi did have to drag Ace there but there was no problems… what they didn't know was that the truth was in that Palace and it was something that would shock them to their very soul.
