Chapter 4
Aspen stared at her partner, wondering what she will evolve into. She watched the evolution carefully. She wanted to evolve, just like her leader. Sighing, she shook herself, really wanting to evolve.
"Get a stone!" Snapped Ralan at Shane. "Evolve into something, hurry!" He turned to watch the evolution, staring in annoyance. He crossed his arms.
Shane ran to the stone pile and shoved Emma aside as she continued to evolve. He looked at the stones. "Not until I know what she's evolving into!" He said to Ralan.
Emma felt the changes hit her. She stared at the ground as she felt a tail grow and longer ears. She looked around, seeing blue. Vaporeon? She thought and suddenly, a pile of snow fell on her from a tree. She stood there and finished the evolution and then blinked. What am I? She thought to herself and she used dig to break free of the snow. She opened her mouth, ice formed and it shot at Shane. Ice Beam? She thought and looked at the Eevee.
"GLACEON!" Yelled Aspen, loudly. "Emma! You're a Glaceon!" she said and shook her head. She felt arms wrap around her and she looked at Ralan who was floating away, taking her with him. She struggled to get free. "What do you want with me?" She demanded.
Emma shook her head, and smiled. She turned and noticed that Ralan and Aspen were gone. "Crap, lost them, AGAIN!" She sighed and looked at Shane. Aspen knows her moves, she can take care of herself. She watched Haunter float off. She charged after him, but was knocked over by a Pokémon. The Glaceon slid across the ground and into a river, making a large splash. She looked up as she began floating down the stream and saw a glowing yellow Pokémon. She knew who it was, it was Shane, standing there was an evolved Eevee. Jolteon.
He stood there, just staring at the struggling Pokémon who didn't seem like she knew how to swim. A Thunder formed from Jolteon and he launched it at the water, electrifying Emma who let out a high screech in pain. She struggled to keep up, and tried using Wish to heal herself. Wish didn't work and she ended up fainting.
Aspen glared at Haunter and struggled again. "If you don't let me go, I swear you'll get hurt!" She snapped at him. She turned invisible and floated through Haunters' arms floated quickly forward. She floated through a tree, turned and looked at Ralan. "Like I said, you'll get hurt!" She snarled.
Ralan smirked and crossed his arms. "What do you expect to do to me?" He said, looking at her and used Hypnosis, but Aspen dodged.
She readied a Thunder, but instead, she began to glow. The snow glowed underneath her, making it brighter. Aspen began to evolve. Arms formed, and so did a starry-like tail. Three bumps on her head formed and her head shaped. She looked at her hands and smiled. It's about time! She thought and finished her evolution. "Good," She smiled and looked at Ralan. "Now that I'm stronger and better…" She smirked and fired a Thunder at the Haunter.
Ralan countered it with a Thunderbolt, but Aspen's thunder had more power, her anger, and over-powered Ralan's Thunderbolt and hit him. He groaned and flew back a bit. "Where is that stupid Eevee?" He snarled, looking around. He shook his head. "We'll finish this up later." He said, eyes narrowed, evilly. He disappeared, taking the shadows to his advantages.
The snow began to flutter down heavier and Aspen shook it off. She smiled and floated around. "I'm a Banette! I'm a Banette!" She cheered. "Where's' Emma? Where is she? I need to find her." She floated in the sky and stared at the ground, scanning it for her Eevee friend. She smiled again and floated around. She kept a look out for her rivals. Nothing. When the Banette reached closer to the river where the Evolution Stones were. She slowly floated to the log and scanned the bushes. She saw nothing there. No stones, no paw prints, no Shane, or… her partner. "Where'd she go?"
