The girl was finally in Lavender Town, hiding her face from any possible recognition. After several 'excuse me's, and 'sorry's, she finally arrived at the place where she'd been shunned. Eevee trembled on her shoulder, wondering what could possibly be going on in there. The blonde pushed the door open, without bothering to knock. As expected, the house was dark. She pushed open the door to the 'Eevee Room', where she saw the gruesome sight that greeted her every time. There was one bowl of food, for them all to share. There were Eevee forced to hurt themselves, over and over again, for the purpose of 'science'. The Eevee on her shoulder looked away; she couldn't bear to see her former family members treated as such. The Eevee crowded around their former friend and yelped, some happily and some weakly, but they were all in all happy to see her.

"Sh..." she shushed. "Do you want people to know I'm here?" The Eevee immediately stopped. "Thank you... Now, were there any newcomers today?" The Eevee looked at each other, remembering what had happened the last time. She had been unable to save any of them, having being so young, but now she may be able to do something for them. "Please!" The smallest Eevee was a Shiny Eevee. And not just because it had just been born; it got very little to eat, but some of the older Eevee who knew they did not have much time left shared some food with it. It was very, very skinny, and its fur hung low. Its emerald-green eyes didn't sparkle like those of a wild Pokemon, but laid dull there, in its skull. It stepped forward very tentatively, not having been born at the time when she had tried to save them.

"Eevee," it stated. Yes. There were two people and a Meowth. The girl had pink hair, purple eyes, and was wearing green earrings, and the other one was James.

"James...?" she mused, getting lost in another memory.

"Prepare for trouble!" she shouted, a smile playing on her lips.

"And make it double," the little boy yelled in reply. They had only met earlier that day, and already they were cosplaying together.

"To protect the world from regulation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To announce the beauties of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Ven!"

"Vio!"

"Team Eevee, evolving quickly, as fast as lightning!"

"We'll never give in; we'll continue fighting!"

"Eevee!" the small creature announced. It had been a new-born..

"Was it that James...?" she wondered aloud. "Hell, I don't even know what I'm talking about! Thank you, Eevee. I'm coming back."

She walked back out into the hallway, and put her Eevee back in her Pokeball. They passed through the halls, listening carefully. Soon, she heard a whip crack, and went to check out the entrance to the... basement. It was more of a dungeon, really. It was made up of cold stone, and there was very poor lighting, due to the fact that they only used torches. There was a secret room, however, that her parents believed to be soundproof (it wasn't), where Jolteon would power the electricity. She held back a sob. He couldn't possibly be there, right...?

James peeked his eyes open, to see a fierce-looking Umbreon staring him in the face. He squirmed very slightly, and almost squealed. The Umbreon looked at him with apologetic eyes, and he realized that the Unbreon was not doing this by choice. He closed his eyes once more, not wanting to get it in trouble. He opened his eyes again, when he was thrown on the ground. His leg hurt a lot, and so did his back, from how hard he was thrown. He saw that his companions were in equal, if not more, pain than he was. They regained consciousness, and looked about the room.

"What happened?" Meowth asked, already on his feet. He had Jessie as a sort of body pillow, thus causing him no serious injuries.

"Did I get hit by a truck?" Jessie questioned, wincing in pain.

"Ah... No," James answered. "I think we've just been kidnapped."

"NO!" they heard a voice screech from above. They flinched, not knowing what it was. Was it an Eevee that learned to talk? One of its evolutions? Or was it another human? Yes, definitely human. They heard footsteps coming down the steps.

"Play dead!" Jessie commanded, and the two, instinctively, laid down, but all three kept one eye open.

"Don't play dead, boy," a gruff voice commanded. "I saw you open your eyes after I threw you in here. And now Lady Lavender will be joining you!" He threw a blonde girl on top of him, and they both blushed.

"H-Hi," she greeted.

"Hi," he replied, as she got up.

She watched the guard subtly, and once he was gone, she summoned her Eevee. It looked terrified, unlike how it usually looked.

"Temporary evolution, code Jolteon," she whispered, not out of earshot. The Eevee glimmered, and became a Jolteon. Team Rocket's jaws hit the floor in surprise.

"What-How-What-?" Jessie sputtered.

"I taught Eevee how to temporarily evolve," Lavender answered. "It comes in handy. One Pin Missile, please." The Jolteevee shot a missile, and it narrowly missed James' head. "Thank you, and return." The Jolteon melted back into an Eevee, and went inside the Pokeball. Lavender pried the Missile out of the wall, and walked over to the cage lock. She picked it, and with a click, it popped open.

"Maybe she can be a part of Team Rocket..." James murmured, out of earshot.

"You coming or what?" she asked. "We have to get the Eevee out of here." James was the first to stand up, but winced in pain because of his leg. "Your leg doesn't hurt."

"What?" James asked, dumbfounded. "Yes it does!"

"No, no it doesn't," Lavender argued. "It's as painless as it's ever been." The pain from his leg began to lift. He noticed a sort of purple glow around the 'Lady Lavender', and his leg. "You can run around dancing for all anyone cares." Jessie felt the relief in her leg, too, and stood up on it. "Now, you won't be winning any races, but please try not to die."

"How did you do that...?" Jessie voiced everyone's thoughts.

"Just a trick I learned," she answered, and winked at the trio. "You comin' or what?"

"Oh, yes," James agreed, having spaced out for a moment. "We're coming." They stood up, and they started running up the stairs.

"You three get out," Lavender ordered, once they were out of the basement. "I need to save the Eevee!" She left them, without waiting for a response. Jessie and Meowth started heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" James demanded, grabbing Jessie's wrist.

"We're getting outta here!" Meowth hissed, turning back to look at the pair.

"Why?" he continued.

"What do you mean 'why'?!" Jessie exclaimed, pulling her wrist out of his grasp. "She told us to get out!"

"Since when have we ever done what we were told?" James inquired.

"Since it threatened our lives!" Meowth answered, looking at him like he was crazy.

"Well, I'm not leaving her," he stated stubbornly, turning to the kitchen. "I'll bet any amount of money that there are Eevee working those kitchens. I'm going to go get them out!" He ran through the doors, while Jessie and Meowth shrugged and left. They figured that, with Lavender there, he couldn't be doing anything too dangerous, compared to, what seemed, her everyday life.

James saw Flareon and Vaporeon working the kitchens. They all turned to look at him, stopping what they were doing, all with a hostile look in their eyes. A Flareon growled at him threateningly.

"N-Now, don't do anything h-hasty," he stammered, backing up, with his hands up in an 'I surrender' manner. He was beginning to regret going in there alone. "I'm n-not going to h-hurt you."

A very curious Vaporeon approached the stranger, and sniffed him. It jumped up on his shoulder, and dragged him down. When he was on the ground dazed, it walked onto his chest, and licked his face affectionately. He remained on the floor for a long time.

Lavender walked back into the Eevee room, and held the door, encouraging all the Eevee to walk out the door. She knew that they wouldn't be able to escape through the front door; they were going to the roof. From there, they were going to... to... Well, she'd think of something when they got there.
