Lexy: forget introductions because school is a bitch this year. Anyways onto the story!

Also i wanna thank acidplatypus for a name for the trainer that had claire in the first chapter.

Colin had awoken the next morning yawning and rubbing his eyes. He softly picked up claire and petted her as he went downstairs for something to eat. "Just one more day... then we can finally start our journey..." he whispered smiling proudly. He heard claire purr in her sleep. She was happy for once, she didnt have nightmares, she didnt kick or scream, and the surprising thing to her is she actually had a 'wet' dream of this new human that had her in his care. She was in bliss but her ribs were killing her greatly. She knew she had to go to a pokecenter today before they start their journey. Claire woke up with a yawn and a slight whimper as her ribs started to hurt, She looked up at colin with pleading eyes to take her to a pokemon center to properly heal.

Colin looking down at her, smiling "we are going to the pokemon center as soon as we finish eating then we can come right back here for abit." He said. Claire yipped happily and snuggled into his chest. He was surprised to see her warm up to him so quickly, he smiled and petted her again as she purred. Colin walked into the kitchen still petting claire to see Amber cooking (Amber is actually a anthro sylveon and she is colin's mother which makes colin part fairy type. Claire is a child in colin's arms to make it known to you guys. Sorry i didnt make it known in the first chapter.)

Amber looked at the two and smiled. "There you two are, had a good sleep?" She asked. The two nodded their heads and smiled back. "Mom i'm heading to the pokemon center so they can check claire." Colin said as he put claire on the table. Claire nodded confirming this. Amber looked at them and nodded.

"If that's the case hold on." She said and went to her room. She came back a minute later, she came back with a box in her hands. Colin looked at his mother clearly confused on what was in it. "It's 500,000 pokedollars i've been saving up since you were born and a pokeball with quite a rare pokemon thats hard to find." she said, then laughed when she seen the priceless faces of the boy and and Fox.

She put the box on the table and went back to cooking. Colin and claire stared at the box, then colin rushed over to his mother and hugged her from behind. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!, mom your the best!" He squealed and smiled. "The pokemon was from your father." She giggled as colin ran over to the pokeball, grabbed it the ran outside but then thought against it. "I will let out this pokemon when we step foot to the outside world." Colin said and smiled. Claire came outside to see the mystery pokemon as well and pouted cutely.

Master when will you let out the pokemon?" Claire said looking up at colin. "Once we step foot into the outside world we will let it out" colin said looking down at claire and shrunk the pokeball and put it on his belt. Claire looked at the pokeball and heard a voice in her head and knew exactly what pokemon it was. Claire didn't say anything but she did say "are we heading to the pokemon center?" Colin nodded and picked her up. "Mom we will be back before night fall." colin said as he closed the door as he knew his mother wished him a safe return.

They went on down the dirt path, Looking at the pokemon that ran along it smiling. An hour later they finally reached the pokemon center upon entering they saw the pink haired nurse. Walking to the counter and putting claire on the desk. "Hello nurse joy" colin said. Nurse joy looked up from her computer and smiled at colin. "Hello colin got your first pokemon i see? And she's a shiny! She's so cute!" Nurse joy exclaimed petting claire softly in which claire purred in response and smiled. "Can you heal her? she's been through alot before the professor gave her to me." Colin said giving the nurse a pleading look.

Nurse joy nodded and smiled. "It's my job to heal and care for pokemon after all." She giggled picking up claire and headed to the back room. Colin knew he had to wait a couple minutes so he headed to the lobby. When he sat down to watch the poke-news, a trainer had walked in with a Red and Black Lucario. Interested, colin confronted the trainer. "Hey buddy!" Colin said as he was now in front of the trainer. "Cool lucario" he said as the trainer smiled. "thanks, Name is Harley, Harley Davis." He said as he held out his hand. Colin shook harley's hand and smiled.

"My name is colin madsen pleased to meet you." He said, just as introductions were finish nurse joy came from the back with a healthy eevee. "Colin your pokemon are healed." She said smiling. Claire looked up at colin and held out her arms as colin picked her up. Claire giggled but stopped when she saw harley and tried to hide her face from him and whimpered abit. Confused and concerned he rubbed claire's back. "Claire what's wrong? You can tell me." He said. Claire pointed at harley and got the problem. "Oh your scared of harley? Don't worry he won't hurt you." He coo-ed petting her and walked over to harley.

"Hey harley this is my pokemon claire, and it seems she is scared of you." Colin chuckled and harley did as well. "Cute can i see her?" Colin turned around as claire looked at him with one eye and it shrunk and she hid her face again. "I think she's shy harley." Harley chuckled and petted her which she purred softly "she looks like the eevee i lost." He said and stared at her ear. See no ear-ring there he calmed down abit. "You seem tense for a second there... you think claire is your lost eevee?"

Colin asked and harley responded. " i thought so, every pokemon i have either has a ring in their nose or on their ear. My eevee was like yours but she was special to me so i put two on one of her ears." Colin looked at him then down at claire's left ear. "I guess she had two or three on her left ear?" Looking closely he spotted one ring on there. "She has a ring on her ear but you said two of them?" Harley nodded, then said "sorry i confused your eevee with mines" he said then bowed slightly. "I best be on my way harley my mother is expecting me back home soon." Harley nodded bidding colin farewell as he walked up to nurse joy. Colin made it back home safely, got something to eat, then headed to bed with claire in her now original spot on his chest as they fell asleep.

So colin meets harley, the evil man that had claire but what harley doesn't know is that it was claire that went missing and walked away with him... or does he?

Until then everybody STAY FRESH!
