Authors Note- here's chapter 4 hope you enjoy

Craig's pov

I awoke the next morning to see Clive already up and preparing to set off and minding my head to avoid a repeat of yesterday morning I got out of the bed and went over to Clive.

"So we all set?" I inquired.

"Yep we will meet Shade just outside of the Eeveelutions territory and she will escort us in where she has arranged for us to have a meeting with her father." Clive replied.

"But how are we supposed to convince them to help? we can't just go to them and say. Hey im a Quilava who as a human please follow me to help us destroy Radcliff they will think we are mad more than anything."

"Celebi has already spoken to all the groups saying who you are and that you have her blessing. The pokemon of the forest trust Celebi so they will follow you they just want to say what your made of first, just to be sure. The 4 groups that are fighting are the ones she hasn't been able to talk to; they will be the hard ones to convince." He replied knowing that would pretty much answer all my questions.

"In that case what are we waiting for?" I said darting out of the cave before turning back.

"By the way, quick question which way do we go?"

Clive sniggered and led the way through the forest for around ten minutes until we came to a stop in a clearing surrounded by rocks.

"Wait."

Looking around he sighed "Dammit Shade this really is not the best time." Under his breath

"What are you talking about?" I asked trying to see what he was looking at.

Clive suddenly turned and fired a flame straight into the face of an Umbreon right behind us; knocking the Umbreon right off is feet.

"Shade how many times have I said you will never creep up on me?" Clive said looking down at the Umbreon.

"Urghh, lost count, and can you blame me for trying, come on im my groups best spy. Also thanks for going weak on the Flamethrower." She replied

"Anytime, Craig meet Shade, Shade meet Craig" Clive said

"So you're the Chosen one that Celebi sent to help us, hmm not bad physically you look in peak condition."

"Uhh thanks, I replied

"So Shade is your dad waiting for us?" Clive asked.

"Yep follow me." She replied

I followed Clive and Shade slightly behind them, trying to figure out how these two met and became friends as they were joking about, laughing and smiling and it appeared that Shade trying to creep up on us was a game of sorts for them. I was going to have to ask Clive later.

The forest started to become thinner until we reached a sort of valley and looking around I saw why the Eeveelutions had chose this place to live as above me Flareon's, Vaporeon's, hell there were some of every type of Eeveelutions above us meaning in an attack the Defenders would have the upper hand.

We continued walking down the valley and I felt every single eye from above and around staring at me but I didn't know if they were simply curious or were scared of me and what could happen if I was found here.

We finally arrived at a cave entrance we entered and sitting on a sort of throne was a Jolteon who seemed old but powerful. As soon as we entered all conversations stopped and everything was silent.

The Jolteon spoke "Clive it is good to see you again and I see you have brought the one that Celebi told me about."

"Yes Mike this is Craig, Craig this is Mike the leader of the Eeveelutions." Clive replied

I opened my mouth to speak but before I could Mike jumped off his throne and started to inspect me as though I was an animal at a pet show.

"Hmm looks strong, but is he up for the task?" "Clive what's your honest opinion of him?" Mike asked still circling me.

"He's more than ready his attacks are super charged, he has a blue flame, he seems strong willed and he knows what's important, so basically what we need in order to succeed."

"A blue flame you say? Hmmm interesting, and by supercharged what do you mean?" Mike inquired

Clive was about to answer but before he could answer something wizzed through the room slicing through the air and imbedding itself in the wall opposite the chamber.

"What was that?" I asked wondering what had just flew past us.

Mike ran to the wall inspecting it like he had been doing to me. "It's a leaf, we use these to send warnings of incoming pokemon it was sent by one of the Leafeon's on duty."

"Is it.. him?" Shade asked fear imbedded in her voice.

"Im afraid so." Mike said turning to me "Looks like we will get to see how strong you are in person Craig."

"Wait who's coming?" I asked.

"Radcliff. He's been trying to get us to submit to him for a while now but we always refuse. But we barely held off his last attack." "Shade get the Women and Children down into the safety chamber and defend them if we fail understand?"

"Yes Father, All Females and Children follow me!"

Mike then started ordering his soldiers into battle formations and called me and Clive over.

"Okay I want you two to lead my main strike force to seal up any breaches that occur in the lines you see a breach charge in there and re-secure it.

"Yes sir" we both said. Charging over to a group of waiting pokemon awaiting our commands.

Soon we were all ready. Waiting for the assault to begin. We didn't have to wait long. We soon heard the sounds of attacks and roars coming from the defensive lines and we awaited Mike's orders to advance.

And finally it came.

"Craig, Clive they've broken through part of the line on the right get in there and re- seal it." Barked Mike from on top of the cliff overseeing the battle.

"Right everyone CHARGE LIKE MADMEN!" I shouted making sure everyone heard.

Setting off we put all our thought to ahead, to the battle and I thought of something to make our attack even more deadly.

"Everyone form yourselves up so we make a V so when we hit we pierce in causing more damage!"

"But wont the person at the head of the V get a battering?" someone shouted

"I'll take care of that as I'll be at the head so form up!" I shouted back.

After finally getting into position with Clive behind ma and to my right and a Leafeon behind me and to my left we finally saw the battle zone and where we were to attack. A number of Mightyena and Houndooms had broken through and were starting to attack other Eeveelutions in the line.

But not for much longer as we were starting to close in and to make sure I didn't get hurt going in first I had an idea. I fired up my back flames and fired a flamethrower ahead of me and the wind blew it back towards me engulfing me in my own flames, not hurting me but turning me into a huge blue fireball hurtling straight for the breach in our lines with other Eeveelutions and Clive right behind me.

So I decided to make one last thing that had to be said given the situation.

"MEL GIBSON THIS IS HOW A TRUE SCOTSMAN CHARGES!"

The enemy didn't know what hit them. One minute they were about to completely overrun the Eeveelutions, the next some bloody huge great fireball had ploughed straight through them and the force of it knocked most of the Mightyena and Houndooms on the right flank back anyone still left standing was then quickly taken out by Clive and the Eeveelutions.

But it appeared my fireball technique worked better than I expected as I stopped only after I had cleared their lines and was able to attack them from behind. But I heard something, which made me think otherwise.

"What's happened to our right flank how have they been pushed back they should have been able to easily push through. How have those pathetic Eeveelutions managed to do that?" screamed a voice from on top of a hill near me creeping closer to it I managed to hear more of the conversation and see a small Poochyena.

"Sir I don't know" replied the Poochyena.

" Well then you had better get over there and start fighting" shouted the voice

"But sir I don't know how to fight, im too young." Replied the Poochyena I could tell it was scared to death.

"Oh really or are you just a coward Erwin, like your parents who didn't want to fight? Because you know the punishment for cowardice," the voice replied I could feel the venom from his voice as though he enjoyed scaring little children.

"Yes sir .. I'll go" replied the Poochyena scurrying off towards the battle.

"That should teach that runt and if he gets killed, meh who cares." Said the voice. Laughing. I was still trying to see who the owner of the voice was but getting any closer would mean I would get spotted and if who ever was here had guards I might be in trouble.

I heard footsteps and the owner of the voice came into view.

It was a Persian.

Thinking it over I knew it could be only one pokemon, someone who was heartless, evil and seemed to be such a coward that he sends children to do his fighting. It could only be Radcliff.

"Maybe its time I introduced myself to him and if there's guards they shouldn't be too hard." I thought. "But maybe I should mess with him first."

I started to move around the hill never staying in one place for a moment just under the lip of the hill so he couldn't look down and see me.

"Tut tut tut Radcliff sending kids to do your battles that's low." I said keeping myself moving.

"Who's there he shouted and I could tell he was alone as he sounded panicked.

"Yeah your not so strong now that no one else is here to help you, correct?" I replied

"Who are you?" he asked "I demand you reveal yourself" he shouted again. Wow he really was stubborn.

"Hmm nah im having too much fun but lets just say a small green pixie sent me." I replied struggling not to laugh.

"Celebi, so she is still around. No matter, whoever she sent couldn't be that strong". He replied confidence returning to his voice.

"Oh really" I said jumping on top of the hill staring down Radcliff. "Cause im Craig and im the guy who just took out most of your right flank, so if I were you I would tell your army to leave right now. I smirked at him daring him to make a move.

"Uhh, wait surely we can talk about this" he said starting to back away.

"Nope so bring it or surrender." I replied.

He gulped and charged me with his claws raised. I sighed and jumped back waiting for his claws to hit the ground, as soon as they did I charged forward tackling him in the ribs then followed up by using my paws to punch him sever times in the face.

He staggered completely dazed and hurting so I decided to continue I fired up my back flames and fired fire onto my paws charging towards him again and punching him straight between the eyes leaving a scorch mark on his face. He fell back tumbling down the hill.

From the top of the hill I looked down at him like a piece of dirt, he was wounded there was the scorch mark on his face, multiple bruises from where I had attacked and blood was starting to show from where I tackled him showing that I had managed to brake it.

He looked up at me, "No fair I wasint ready!" he screamed trying to shout foul so that Arceus would hear him and strike me down.

"Ready to turn tail and run yet?" I asked

"Grr this ain't the last you've heard of me Craig I swear it, everyone retreat" he screamed and looking over I saw his army disengage the Eeveelutions and were retreating. Looking back at him I saw him start to limp away.

"Come on Radcliff im sure you can run faster than that!" I shouted after him "here let me help you."

I powered up another flamethrower and fired it at his tail, causing said tail to catch fire, which really got Radcliff running. Soon he was a mere speck in the distance.

I had confronted Radcliff for the first time and won and looking at the Eeveelutions I saw that they had taken very few casualties and there were no death only injuries.

Yep today was a good day.

Authors Note – So Craig managed to defend the Eeveelutions and demonstrated to Radcliff that his time is coming to a close. Also about the Braveheart reference. Im sorry that film was so historically inaccurate it was unreal so that's why it was mentioned as it was. Anyways leave a review if you have anything to add.
