Chapter 5

The next morning I had a look at my body. I was still wounded from my fight with Malkia. She had won and others had stop challenging her. It upset me that I had lost a fight. Still I wasn't going to give up. If this is what I had to learn to live a clan life and what it mean to be a K-9 Pokémon to survive, then so be it.

I walk out of my door and saw Nardhon. He look at me with shock. "Wayna! What happen to you child!" He grab me with his big paws and hug. "Who did this to you?"

"I was fighting with one of the clan females." I spoke to him wincing in pain. "And I'm glad you are home."

"Growl! I finish what I had to do early." He went holding me with his claws out. He pick me up by the scruff and took me to the table. He brought out an Oran Berry and gave it to me. "Here eat this!" I took the berry and began to eat it. As I ate my wounds began to heal. "How could Muamba let this happen? I told her to teach you! Not beat you! I have half a mind to go over there and give her a piece of my mind! Why can't those K-9 be like you?"

"No! Nardhon! No!" I yell jumping off the table running over to him. "Listen if you go to her. She will tear you apart and the clan will only treat me worse! Look I know it looks bad but I can handle it. I need these lessons!"

"Still they are brutal to you…" There was silence but I gave him a pleading look. "Fine I will deal with it." Nardhon finally gave in as my wounds heal from the Oran berry. "Come home like that again and I will take you away from that clan. You hear?"

"Yes." I said with a nod of my head.

"Sorry for leaving you by your lonesome like that." Nardhon said with a smile. "I bet you missed me, Huh?" He then look confuse at my reaction. "W-well now. That's a bit Disheartening' to hear…" He said sadly. "But never have you minded… Tell me… You recollect anything about yourself and your past yet? Any more sign of them Beheeyem?"

"No I have no idea. I have not seen them sense I came here." I said with my ears back. "I'm sorry I also don't remember anything at all."

"Mm-Hmm. It's a disgrace you don't remembered just the same old thing new, yet… at any rate you don't needed to face any inconvenience here all alone, not one or the other. You know other than from the faction. How school life treating you? No issues, I trust?" Mr. Nardhon said unfortunately. "I feel horrendous terrible if alternate children were picking' on you or anything of that sort… "

"No I'm fine." In truth I hated two students.

"Genuinely? That was my greatest concern, so I'm truthful happy to hear that!" Nardhon talked with a grin. "I trust we may continue coming like this and perceive how things turn out. What's more, for you, that implies one more day of going' off to class like a decent little understudy."

I nod my head and went off to school. I walk outside and look toward Red home. "Look like I'll be walking to school on my own again today." I walk to my school still upset about Red but knew I could do nothing. I sigh and kept walking. I made it to the shop to only see crowds of people gathering around. "What's going on?"

I ran over to see Reds father. "So? How did it look?" Mr. Calemirdaer spoke to him.

"I try to get a decent look around, but it was no good." Mr. Loemen stated sadly. "They're all worked up!"

"but it Vill all be vorth it if ve get some delicious Honey out of it in ze end." Mr. Hithaerdaer spoke happily. I smile at this thought about honey. I too liked honey with bread and butter.

A little Budew walk up to us. "Delicious Honey?" She ask in confusion.

"Yeah that right." Loemen confirm the little Budew. "Out in Nectar Meadow, they're starting on their annual…" he then stop for a moment recognize the boy in front of him. "Huh? Aren't you-?"

"Banda the Budew. Lilly the Roselia's little one." Mr. Calemirdaer recall to everyone. "Honey-making season has begun, child. Many Pokémon like Beedrill and Combee all get together to make heaps o' Honey."

Hithaerdaer jump up and down happily. "And Honey zat zey make iz best!" He said happily in joy. "Just a little taste iz enough to have me jumping for joy!"

"You jumping for joy?" Banda said with confusion.

"It's a nutrition power house, to boot." Mr. Calemirdaer spoke and then look a little worry. "However, they're on edge while making Honey stay safe and steer clear till they're all done. Especially a wee childlike yourself. It's best to give Nectar Meadow a wide berth at this time of year."

"I would like some honey." I spoke in a whisper with my ears up and tail wagging. "I wonder what there Honey taste like." I then left them and head off to school. "I would have to get some honey later. Hehehehe."

The bell rang and school has started. We were visited by Principal Palin Majere. He was in his usual cheerful mood. Gooma was the first to great him. "Good morning, principal Simipour!" Gooma spoke with a smile.

"Good morning to you, Gooma." Principal Palin Majere.

"Oh! Principal Palin Majere! Good morning!" Daerion spoke respectfully.

"And a good morning to you, Daerion." Principal Palin Majere said to her with a smile.

"Good morning, Principal Palin Majere!" Thirisdir said with a mischievous smile. "You got gate duty today, huh?" Man I hated him, but he did have the guts to ask the questions I did not. "So, let me ask you, sir… Why are you always smirking?"

"I am not smirking. I'm smiling my boy." Principal Palin Majere confirm. I just shake my head at this. "I'm just so tickled to see all of you coming to school in such a good spirits. More important than that class is about to begin. Be off to your seat like a good boy."

"Yes sir." Everyone said.

I sat in my seat minding my own business till I heard an annoying voice that made me growl. "Hey Wayna." Pephennas called to me. I turn around to see him. "Where you come from anyway? You know you never told us."

"Well that kind of a random question." I spoke with my ears up and a turn of my head. "Also I don't like you or your friend so I don't see myself telling you."

"Well I still want to know." He shot back at me. Everyone then turn to me. "Does anybody know where Wayna from?"

"Again none of your business." I said with my ears up in a growl.

"I have no idea." Thirisdir spoke.

"Well, no, I guess not…" Daerion spoke with her ears back in confusion.

"That's true, huh?" Red said with a smile as he jump up and down. It was the first time he spoke to me in a long time. "We never asked, did we?"

Pephennas then cut Red off. "Yeah, yeah, that's enough from you." Pephennas spoke with a mischievous smile. "Once you start, you never stop. So don't." He then turn to me. "But isn't that weird? That NOBODY knows where you're from? So tell us!" He then look shock for a moment. "Oh! N-no way could you be… from Lively Town….."

Everyone was in shock. No one could believe I was from lively from.

"What! Lively Town!" Everyone went in shock.

"So that makes you a city Pokémon, huh Wayna!" Thirisdir spoke with surprise. "So sophisticated!"

"Mr. Nardhon hardly seems like the city type. I think you're on the wrong track." Busara pointed out.

I growl looking at Pephennas. I swear if there was ever a time I wanted to force my female dominance on someone, it was right now! I hated that Pokémon. Now everyone was in shock and was giving different theories. Still if I told them the truth they would not believe me.

Everyone then stop panicking. "…Then what's the real answer?" Pephennas spoke with a smile. "Where'd you really come from?"

I growl with anger at him and he took a step back. "Bite me Pephennas!" I growl at him. "Fine I'm a human…" I said looking the other way.

"Wayna is…" Red spoke in shock.

"From the human world?" Thirisdir spoke in even more shock. "From the human world?! Like, a real live HUMAN?!"

Everyone was looking at one another and speculating. I could feel my anger grow and my hate. Then Pephennas open his mouth saying that I was telling a lie and I growl. The whole thing was a disaster.

"I hate you." I growl at him.

"What?" He said with a smile.

"I hate you and I wish you were dead!" I snarl with my ears back. I had enough of him. I then attack him with a snarl ready to use ember.

"Aahh!" He scream as I pin him to the ground. Everyone look in shock and fear. They could not believe what they see. "What are you doing? There no attacking out of the forest! Get off me."

"You have been a pain in my ass from day one!" I roar out. "It's about time someone put you in your place!"

"But you can't. You'll get in trouble." He spoke with fear.

"So what!" I snarl out at him. "It's about time someone put an end to you!"

"Wayna that enough!" I turn my head and saw Mr. Fetch looking at me angry. "Wayna let go of Pephennas. I will have Order! What's all this ruckus about now?"

"Teach!" Pephennas spoke with fear as I got off him and kept growling at him. He went around me. "Wayna telling lies and then she attack me."

"Telling lies?" Mr. Fetch went with a turn of his head.

"Yeah! Totally unbelievable whoppers!" Pephennas spoke with a smile and walking over to Mr. Fetch for safety. For a moment I did not care if the teacher was there he was going to die.

"Sometime the most unbelievable things are the things you should most believe in." It was principal Palin. Everyone was quite surprise to see the principal. He walk down the platform to us. "That is what I found."

"Principal Palin" Darion spoke with shock.

"Perhaps Wayna story is not true." Principal Palin spoke with a smile. "But who are we to say? And what if it is true. Sometime un-believable things do happen. And because they do, living in this world proves endlessly entertaining." Pephennas only look smugger. "Not that I have any idea what kind of tales Wayna is telling. But now, I believe it is time for class to begin." He then turn to Mr. Fetch. "Mr. Fetch? I leave the rest to you."

Mr. Fetch then look fearful. "Y-yes, sir." Mr. Fetch spoke with a smile. "Let's get started then, class. Today we will begin with the tale of the three Spoink and the Mightyena." We all lower our heads and began to read. "Now, let me see… Once upon a time, in a far- off kingdom…"

"Mr. Fetch?" Busara spoke up softly. "I don't think that's the right story."

"Ah! Indeed. I apologize…" Mr. Fetch spoke and he turn to the right page.

And when third period rolled around…

"Children, I will be leading your field trip again today." Vice Principal Wetzel Watchog spoke. My ears went back as I look at the Pokémon behind him. He then turn to the Pokémon behind him. "Also, I'm pleased to announce some special guest! Our friendly local sheriffs are here to assist in today's lesson!"

"Wow! Real-life sheriffs!" Gooma spoke happily.

"There so cool!" Thirisdir said in joy.

The Sheriff was a Magnezone. Next to him was a Magneton and Magnemite. He float up a bit and spoke to us all. "We're here today to demonstrate to all of you how to use an Alliance." The Sheriff spoke in a deep tone.

"An alliance?" Pephennas ask with an evil smile.

"That right! An Alliance!" Vice principal Wetzel said proudly. "Your team must all use an Alliance together to unleash their moves! It's an absolute vital skill to have, so be sure you learn it well! Let's move into the forest to continue the demonstration." We all move into the forest. Vice principal Wetzel stood in front of the sheriff enthusiastically. "Now then. We'll ask these kind officers to perform an alliance for us, so… Students pay close attention!"

The Officer look at him with worry. "And you are certain about this?"

"You may even lose consciousness. Pi-pi-pi!" another officer said.

"It will be fine!" Vice principal Wetzel snap at them. "Don't you know who I am? Have at me! Come on!"

The officers then look very dangerous. 'Oh shit!' I think in my head.

"Very well then!" The officer said with a yell. He and his officers then began to glow. My eyes went wide. "Take this! Our Triple Shock Attack!" They move quickly and surround vice principal Wetzel. They were so charge up as he was struck by lightning coming from the sky.

"GGGYYYAAAAAHHHHH!" Vice principal Wetzel yell in pain falling to the ground.

"Vice principal Wetzel!" Gooma yell in fear.

We all then surround him looking him over. "Wh-what…This is… N-nothing…nothing at all… More important…Did you all watch carefully? How to use an alliance? Allies moving together in an instant… Surrounding foe to attack all at once… What's more, it deals damage to your enemies even if it's a bad matchup. That is the definition of an alliance. However, if you use this tactic too much, It makes you very hungry, so be forewarned." He then slowly got up to his feet and turn to us. "Next, it will be up to you all to try it out…Against me! Come at me!"

Soon Pephennas, Thirisdir and Busara all attack him and as you can imagine it did not end well for him. He lived thru it but, He then had all of us do it to him. At the end of all our turns he was very wobbly. "It looks like you've….. all been able to get in a bit… of practice. I think you should have… the basics of alliance down by now….. Now use them wisely in your adventures!"

He then passed out on the ground. "Vice principal!" Everyone went and crowd around him.

"I…I'm fine… But I may have underestimated the Impact of so many moves, even if you are children… You all did a fine job of attacking me… Even If you did seem to enjoy it a bit much. Let's bring this lesson to an end."

Everyone left to go home. I walk by myself with my head down. I guess I was still upset at the fact no one believe me. I sigh to myself and head to the forest. As I walk in the Foreboding Forest all of the Poochyena females were surrounding Malkia and all the males were with Haina.

"Alright for today's hunt we will be doing an ambush on a bunch of Sandshrew. They go up to the lake to get water once a week." Malkia explain on a rock. "Because it is forbidden to hunt at the watering hole, we will hunt them before they get there. Chuki You will take some of the girls and block their path. Kuchoma you will take the other girls and block the other way. My group will chase them in your direction." Malkia eyes averted in my direction. "Then dear Wayna will make a kill."

I Look at her with shock as she turn around to me. "You haven't killed yet have you?" She said to me and I took a step back as she walk up to me. "All predators must kill. Right girls?"

"Yes Matriarch Muamba will not tolerate a weak female." Chuki said walking up to me next to Malkia. "Every female must be able to kill."

"Also they must be able to pull their own weight." Kuchoma said with her ear back in a growl. "What will the other packs say about us if we let a female who can't kill learn from our clan? That were weak! That what!"

"Hey back off!" I snap at them with a growl. "I don't have a rank yet so I don't have to listen to any of you! I'm Just a guest!"

Matriarch Muamba walk up to us with a cold look in her eyes. "I'm sorry Wayna but you will kill. Why it is true you are not part of my pack. The fact still stands that you are a female and you will kill." Matriarch Muamba explain looking down at me coldly as her daughter and her friends giggle in joy. She then lift my chin up with her paw. "Out there in the wild you must hunt for your own food. If not you can die. You must kill in order to live."

"Yes Matriarch Muamba." I replay softly.

"Alright this hunt is only practice. Therefore only one Sandshrew will be killed and the one killing it today will be Wayna. You girls will sharpen your skill by chasing one down." Matriarch Muamba explaining to them. She then turn to the male that was watching the male pups. "Haina you worthless male!"

"Yes my lady!" Haina scramble to get up. He trotted over to her keeping his ears back and head low. "How may I serve you…"

"I will be taking the females out on a hunt. I want the barrows to be clean by time I return. So take those male pup and put them to work." Matriarch Muamba demand him. "Yes my lady. I will get it done."

"I should hope so. Now get out of my sight!" Matriarch Muamba spoke in a cold voice. She then walk in front of us, leading us away. "Let's go girls we must get ahead of our prey."

I turn my head back as I watch the male slink away back to the pups sadly. I felt so bad for him. But I knew I could do nothing for him. I then follow up ahead so I would not be left back.

We walk for a while and the female pups broke into three groups. Matriarch Muamba stood in front of me. "Wayna because this is your first hunt you will stay next to me and watch. Understood?"

"Yes Matriarch Muamba." I said with my ears back. "I will watch."

"Good. Malkia!" Matriarch Muamba bark out to her daughter. Her daughter look at her with an evil smile. "When you catch it, remember not to kill it. I want our guest to be the one to do it."

"Yes mother." Malkia said and walk off leading her group.

Matriarch Muamba and I walk on top of a hill. We both sat and watch the hunt. I was hoping we can watch it in silence but Matriarch Muamba had other plans.

"So how long have you know you was a hybrid?" Matriarch Muamba ask me, not taking her eye off of the hunt. I look at her in confusion. "I see that you are confuse. So I will explain. There are pure breed Pokémon such as myself and hybrids like you."

"So you're saying I'm not just a Fennekin?" I ask her with a turn of my head. "What else can I have in me?"

"Most Fennekin have golden pelts but you, Reminds me of an Eevee. So I think you are also an Eevee. Your pelt is brown and your neck scruff is fluffy. If it wasn't for your mane and red fluffy scruff I would think you are an Eevee."

I look myself over and saw that she was right. "Everyone at the village just think I'm a regular Fennekin." I said with my ears back. "Even Nardhon think so."

"Listen this village don't have much experience with the outside world but I do." Matriarch Muamba explain to me. "Most Pokémon despise hybrids and think they are impure. Me on the other? I just don't care. So you are lucky that this village is not very knowledgeable and that my clan is very open minded."

"Yes Matriarch Muamba." I said with my ears back.

"Oh it would seem my daughter was successful in the hunt." Matriarch Muamba spoke and pick me up by the scruff of the neck. She walk down to the girls with pride. The struggling bloody Sandshrew was being held down by Chuki and Kuchoma. She put me down and congratulated her daughter. "Very good hunt."

"Yes it was momma!" She nuzzle her mommy happily.

"Now enough pleasantries. Wayna come here now child." Matriarch Muamba watch as I walk over to her. "Now I want you to go over there and bite that Sandshrew in the neck. "You do not have to rip out his throat. But you can suffocate him."

I walk over to the bloody and shaking Sandshrew. He was cover in blood crying as Chuki and Kuchoma move off him. My ears went back as I look down at him. "The longer you wait the longer he suffers." Matriarch Muamba said to me with a cold glare. "We kill to survive, something you will have to do it if you hope to live."

I took a deep breath and look down at the Sandshrew. I bind down and whisper in his ear. "I'm sorry." I whisper to him with sadness in my eyes. I then bite his neck quickly and crush his wind pipe. I kept my hold on him as the blood gush into my mouth. The blood pour into a puddle on the forest ground staining my paws and mouth with blood.

I look down at my kill as I began to shake. I didn't want to show emotion but I could not help it. I then turn and ran off crying "Hey you worthless Fox-"Malkia yell out to me, she was going to mock me but she was cut off.

Matriarch Muamba hush her by slapping her on her head. "Enough child!" Matriarch Muamba bark out to her. She felt bad for me and knew I needed time. But she also knew she must always remain cold. She then turn to the clan pups. "Now let's go home. Chuki and Kuchoma, bring the kill."

I ran all the way home and ran past Nardhon. Nardhon just look confuse as I ran into the house. "What in the world?" He look down at the floor and saw bloody paw prints. "Oh no!" He said in fear as he ran into the house after me.

He ran into my room and saw me curl up in a tight ball. "Wayna what happen child!" My back was turn from him as he walk over to me seeing the blood on the ground. "Wayna where did this blood come from?" He put a paw on my shoulder. I snap around with my bloody jaw and red eyes.

"Growl!" I went with my ears back and tail up. "Don't touch me!"

"Oh Wayna what happen?" Nardhon went with concern eyes. "What did they do to you?"

"They wanted a killer so I killed! I kill to survive now! I'm a killer! If I did not kill they would no longer teach me. I killed a Sandshrew!" I scream at him. I was so mad at myself. I know that it was nature but it scare me. I had tears in my eyes as they went back to normal. "… It taste very good…Do you hate me?"

Nardhon look at me with sadness and smile. He lift up my chin with his hand and hug me. "No you are not a killer… It is with in your nature to want to hunt and eat. But that does not mean you have to hunt things in the forest. You should only hunt when you have to or just magikarps. Do you understand?"

"Yes Nardhon…" I whisper as my eyes slowly want back to normal. I nuzzle into him.

"Besides… It will be nice to have someone to hunt with, Alright?" Nardhon said with a smile as he pick me up by the scruff. He walk me over to the small water hole in the house and bathe me. "Now how about a bath, to get all this blood off. Alright?"

"Yes Nardhon." I whisper with a smile.

The next morning I awoken out of bed with a yawn. I walk out the room to see Nardhon smiling face. "Morning Wayna! Look like another fine day." Nardhon said to me and hug me. "You have a good day at school ok. And remember it's ok if you're a predator."

I smile and then head off to school. "Thanks Nardhon. I love you." I yell at him as I head off to school.

"I love you to!" Nardhon yell at me too.

I then ran off feeling better about myself. I got to class on time and sat next to Red at my desk. We did not talk but our teacher Mr. Fetch was just not here today. "All right, children! It's time for health class." Ms. Audino inform us all. "Today we will be learning about Evolving."

"What? Evolution?!" Thirisdir said in shock.

"Isn't that, like, maturing quickly?" Red said happily jumping up and down as I look at him.

"What are you talking about? Don't you know what evolution is?" Pephennas mock him with a smile. "Evolving just mean that you get bigger. I for one want to get bigger."

"Well… That one way to sum it up, yes." Ms. Audino said happily.

"What? We'll get bigger?!" Gooma said with joy.

"It's not only your bodies growing larger, though. It causes many other changes." Ms. Audino explain to us further. "Evolving does bring you closer to being an adult…so in that sense… Red assumptions are not entirely off base"

'What's that supposed to mean?' Daerion ask in her head with her ears up.

"And in addition to evolving, you may-"Ms. Audino was about to explain further but was then cut off.

"E-excuse me!" we all turn our attention to the Roselia. It was . "I'm sorry, but have you seen my daughter Banda today?"

"Huh? Your daughter? Here? I surely haven't." Ms. Audino explain to her. "Isn't it still another year before she is due to start school?"

"Oh what am I to do?" She panic in fear. "I searched all over our neighborhood but found no sign of her."

"What you mean you lost your daughter?!" Gooma yell in distress.

"Maybe I should contact the sheriffs." She said in sorrow. "I'm sorry for interrupting your class like this." She then turn around to walk off only to fall down.

"Oh my! Are you alright miss?" Ms. Audino ask worry.

"Yes.." She went as she lay there. "Yes… It's just that I've been getting so dizzy lately…"

"You come with me, sweetie. I want you to rest for a bit in the school clinic." Ms. Audino help the mother up and move her to the school clinic.

"What could have happened to that girl?" Gooma said with a turn of head.

"It makes you worry, doesn't it?" Daerion said with worry.

"Well of course you would, Deerling. You're just so kindhearted." Pephennas said evilly as always. Dam baster. "But seems to me like you might be overreacting over one kid wandering, off…"

"How can you say that?!" Daerion snap at him up set. "How can you not worry when a tiny kid like that goes missing on her own?!"

Both Pephennas and Thirisdir laugh and made light of the situation. As I felt bad for the mother I then remember that I saw that kid from before. It was possible that the kid might have try to get that honey.

I then try to get my class mate attention. "Wait guys I think I know where that kid have gone." I said with my ears back.

"Hm? What is it, Wayna?" Gooma said turning to me.

Everyone then turn to me. "Listen I think the kid went." I explain to them.

"What?" Daerion said in shock. "You have an Idea where that Budew may have gotten to?"

"Yes I think she went to go get some honey. I think she went to Nectar meadow." I explain to them as they listen to me.

"Nectar meadow? To get some honey?" Thirisdir said in shock.

"It is true that the Honey-making season has begun in Nectar Meadow." Busara said with a turn of her head. "If she did go there, Banda may be in real danger."

"Hahahahaha!" The asshole that was Pephennas laugh at me. "Why are you all falling for this liar's story?" I growl at his as red began to come to my eye a bit. "Don't you remember the ridiculous tales Wayna was spewing yesterday?!" I growl walking forward to him and he could see the killer look I was giving him. He took a step back a bit. "Wow, I can't believe you're falling for it again. Who would swallow that kind of a lie? You're all getting trick again."

"Whoa! That was a close one." Thirisdir went with a sigh of relief.

I look around up set and growl. None of them believe me. Not one. I growl to myself and ran off. "Wayna!" Red yell at me as I ran out of class.

"Hey! What are you-?" Pephennas called after me with wicked joy.

"You can't just run out in the middle of class!" Thirisdir went yelling after me but I was already gone.

"What a fool. As any of us would follow!" Pephennas snicker in glee. "I can't wait to see the chewing out that Wayna is gonna get from the teacher. Hahahahah!"

"Wayna…" Red went sadly as he looking in my direction.

I was out of class as I growl looking around. "No way in hell is this going to be let go. I hate that dam bear and I'm going to prove them wrong. I'm going to that dam meadow by myself!" I then began to head out of the village.

"Hold up, Wayna!" I heard Red voice and turn around. I saw Red run over to me. He stood in front of me out of breath. "*pant*pant*pant*pant* I did it. I ditched class, today too!"

I look at him with my ears back. "What!"

"I'm going with you! I believe you, Wayna!" Red said with determination. I then lit up with a deep smile of joy. It just made me so dam happy to have him here with me. "Come on! Let's take on Nectar meadow! We're going to find Banda the Budew!"

"Thanks for coming Red." I said with a smile and nod. I then turn and head off.

"Oh if we get a chance, let's give that alliance thing a shot!" Red said with a smile as he walk behind me. "We just learn it yesterday, so we ought to at least give it a try!"

"Ok." I said to Red.

We walk for a long time and fight a lot of Pokémon. My jaw was bloody a bit from some Pokémon but other than that we were fine. Red was fighting to but was put off on how violent I was. Still he said nothing about it.

As we walk I was still mad at Pephennas and I hated him. What's more my thought lead me to another Issue. Matriarch Muamba. She once told me that almost all K-9 Pokémon are led by female, only are Espeon lead by male. "Um Red can I ask you a question?" I spoke up looking around, making sure we did not get blindsided. "Your adopted right?"

"Yes… I'm adopted but my dad has found a group of Espeon's in the forest. They have agree to train me every day after school." Red explain to me. That was a surprise. I had no idea he was being train. "I'm glad they agree to train me, otherwise it would be hard for me to explore. Hehehe!"

"Oh are they just ruled by males?" I ask him as we walk.

"Yup, the females are healers and take care of the babies. But they are not the only Pokémon that have only male rulers. Grandbull's, Manectric, Some Evo', Stoutland, Houndoom and Arcanine." Red explain to me with my ears back. "There are some K-9 Pokémon who are just naturally alone. So it don't matter male or female. Zoroark, Absol and Smeargle are always alone."

"Oh so how do Espeon's feel about half breeds?" I ask him feeling my heart race. I knew there would be a strong possibility that he hated me, if he knew I was a half breed.

"They don't like them very much. But I like you because you're a half breed." He reply to me. I felt my heart drop in that moment, as my eyes brim with tears. "I love your imperfections, No one will ever have something as great as you."

I then turn hugging him. "I love you so much! You're my best friend!" I said hugging him hard. "Thank you so much for believing in me!"

"Hey no problem, but we should keep going." He said hugging me.

"But how did you know I was a hybrid? I mean not even I knew at first or anyone at the village." I ask him with my ears back wiping my face.

"I always knew. I have seen Fennekin before. I was exploring the forest a bit but they were always yellow or gold. You are brown with an Eevee neck tuff and Fennekin red fur ear tuff." Red explain to me as he took the lead. "It would seem no one else knew of you being a hybrid."

"Um do you know what they think of hybrids?" I ask him as we walk.

"Yeah they are quite snobbish and stuck up. They even have a kingdom and so do the Eevee's. They are the most snobbish of us all." He explain to me as I listen. I sort of look down in fear. "But you're not like them Wayna. You're very cool and kind."

"Thank you Red." I said running up next to him and nuzzle him. I then look up ahead and saw that we were there. "Red were here! Let's go!" I then ran in front of him as he ran behind me.

We heard the bee Pokémon whole argument. They were going to attack her jumping to conclusions that show was some kind of honey thief. "Wa-a-a-a-a-a-aaa-a—ait!" Red yell as we ran up to them in the middle of the field. "Kid! You're all right? Thank goodness! We came to save you!"

"So you're a band of thieves, bee-bee! Ahhh, busy-buzzy bee-bee!" A Beedrill spoke in anger.

"So she truly is a thief! A thief, bee-bee! Buzzy-busy com-bee!" The Combee said in a panic.

We look at the Bee Pokémon in panic. "What?! No! We're just-"Red was cut off by the Beedrill.

"No time for your excuses, bee-bee! Ahhh, busy-buzzy, bee-bee!" The Beedrill snap at him. "We're too busy, after all! Ahhh, busy- buzzy bee-bee!"

"Budew kid! Get behind us!" Red snap at him. The Bedew ran behind us out of harm's way.

"We'll expel you thieves at once, bee-bee ahhh, and busy-buzzy bee-bee!" The Beedrill went in anger. There were at least five of them. The three Combee gave chase after Red.

The two Beedrill focus on me using their horns trying to stab me. I kept coming at with their sharp pointy drills. I had no time to attack or do anything. "Wayna move out of the way." Red yell at me. I jump back as Red use a power up punch to throw a Combee at a Beedrill. The two Bee Pokémon hit the ground with a thud.

"Aaaahh! Combee get off of me!" Beedrill yell at him. But the Combee was knock out and very heavy. The Beedrill in front of me look very concern for his friends.

While the other Beedrill was distracted I use Flamethrower on him. "AAAHHHHH!" He went in pain hitting the ground pass out. Red use Power–up punch on another Combee knocking that one out. "Aahaha!"

"Nice work Red I will handle the Beedrill and You take down that Combee. Alright?" I yell at him as I tackle The Beedrill sending us both rolling.

"You got it!" Red yell at me and tackle the Combee.

"If you think It will be easy to take me down fire type then-" I shut him up using another flamethrower "UUgghhh…. Never mind….uuuggghhhh!" he was on the ground very much burn…

I look at Red as he use another power up punch on the Combee, knocking it out.

"Well that should do it." Red said with a smile. "We took them all down. Hahaha!"

"Yeah I needed that. I was getting sick of Pephennas and Thirisdir. Anymore of them and I would try to bite them." I spoke licking my paws happily. "Thanks Red for coming."

"No problem Wayna." Red said happily.

"Ugg…. Ugghhh ….Ughhh … Busy…Bee…" The Beedrill groan in pain.

"Ugh…Buzzy…busy…" Combee groan as well.

"Judging by your looks, you seem weak." The Beedrill spoke in pain. "But you are…actually…quite…strong… But we must… end this…quickly. We must hurry and make Honey, Bee-bee! We must attack all at once, bee-bee!"

"Dam they are tuff!" I growl with my ears back. "Even if some of them are burn or had the wind punch out of them, they will still fight!" I growl as my eyes turn red in an upset. "Then it looks like we will-"

Before any of us could attack there was a loud voice, making us all stop. "Halt!" I look at see who it was and I was a queen Vespiqueen.

"Mistress Ves!" One Beedrill spoke in surprise.

"Mama!" The Combee shouted.

Queen Ves turn to the Combee and Beedrill. "Beedrill! Combee! Calm yourselves! Your opponents are mere children! They are no thieves." Queen Ves chastised them. Then turn us and spoke to us in a clam way. "I hope you can forgive such a rude welcome. This happens to be our Honey-making season… We are terribly busy during this time, and everyone emotions tend to run hot. I'm afraid that you have come at rather a dangerous time… I hope you understand."

Red look at her with confusion as the Budew girl came up behind me. "Are you…" Red began to ask her.

"I am Ves. The queen. The queen of Nectar Meadow." Queen Ves explain to us both.

"Bwuh? Th-the queen?!" Red said with shock.

"Hoho! Well, I may be queen in name, but I am more like a manager in function." Queen Ves explain to us both.

The Budew girl up a bit. "Um…Your Majesty…" The Budew spoke in fear. "I…I came here because I want to get some Honey…"

All the other Beedrill and Combee began to get angry again. "So you are a thief?" The Beedrill spoke in shock.

Queen Ves turn to the Beedrill and snap at him. "Calm yourself. I take it this is how you found yourself in the fight I interrupted? What good will come from repeating your previous mistakes?"

Queen Ves turn back to us as Budew step closer. "I…brought my allowance and all… My mom has been looking kind of pale lately, and she always tired." Budew explain to them and started to cry a bit. "And I heard that the honey you make is really nutritious… I thought that if my mom could have some Honey to eat, she'd surely get better."

"So that it." Queen Ves said happily with a smile. "You are very sweet and considerate child." She then gave her some Honey and the Budew smile happily. "We do not need any of your money. You may have this as a gift from me."

"Th-Thank you!" The little Budew girl spoke happily.

"Now hurry back to your home, child." Queen Ves spoke happily. "I do hope your mother will recover."

That night I and Red took Budew to his mother. She had some words for him on Red special spot. "Thank goodness…" Lilly spoke with tears of joy in her eyes. "Didn't you know how worried I would be? I'm…So…Glad you're alright…."

"Mom, I brought you some Honey." Banda aid with a smile holding the honey. "Eat it all up and you'll get better, OK?"

"Thank you, Sweetie." Lilly spoke to her child happily with joyful tears. "But please…from now on…don't go anywhere dangerous without me."

"O.K. Mom." Banda said with a small smile.

The two then hug each other happily. After hugging each other the two then turn to us. "Thank you both so much for what you did." Lilly said happily. "Thanks to you my child is home safe. Please take this with my thanks…" She gave us both prefect apples. I and Red look at each other happily. "I'm so grateful that you would worry about my Banda and go and save her. But… You are also children yourselves… Please try not to be too reckless. I will take Banda home now. "

Banda look at us both with such joy. "Thanks, Wayna and you Red!" Banda thanks us.

They then both walk off the hill leaving us both on the hill. We watch them leave feeling good about ourselves. "It's really good that we found Banda the Budew before anything bad happened." Red happily spoke with joy. I smile happily as well. "In the end we skipped school to do it, but I'm glad that we went."

"I'm glad we went to. We are going to get into trouble but I don't care! We need to get things done." I spoke happily looking at Red. "It made me feel great to fight like that."

"Yeah you're right and it's gotten really dark now…" Red spoke with a smile looking up at the stars in the night sky.

"If I'm too late getting home, Nardhon will probably chew me out…" I spoke looking up at the night sky. It even started shooting stars. "I guess I ought to start heading back." I then started to head home before Red stop me.

"Hey, Wayna?" Red called out to me. "That story about you really being a human… Well, I believe it."

"What?" I said with a smile.

"…Yeah. Alright. I've decided." Red then look totally pump. "Wayna! I want you…to be my friend!" I was caught off guard by his blunt statement. I mean he was so straight forward. Why did it sound like an order?! "No one believes anything you have to say right now, Wayna!"

'Wow, no punches pulled there…' I then in my head.

Red then look down upset. "But…that's the same way they treat me…" Red explain to me. He then turn to me with a small smile. "So I really understand how you feel. It gets lonely when no one believes in you or what you say… But if you have even one friend who'll believe you… then you'll be really happy. So, as two fellow outcast that no one believes in… why don't we start believing in each other as friends?" he then look overly inspired. "See? Then all we have to do is get another friend, and then another, and another…" We both look up at the shooting stars together. "And someday we'll have more friends than we can count! Just like those stars up there! Yeah! That's what we'll do!" He then turn to me with a smile. "So, Wayna…be my friend. I mean…please. Please be my friend." He then became frustrated at him inability to ask for something. "No, that's not quite it either…sorry. I really hope we can be friends." He walk up to me and bow his head respectfully. "I promise to stand by you, by my honor as a future Knight! So let's be friends!"

"Yes Red I will be your friend." I said with a gleam of happiness.

"Really? You'll really be my friend?!" Red ask me as his joy began to rise. When I nod my head he just explode in emotion. "All right! Thank you, Wayna! From today on, we're officially friends! Oh, I know" Red spoke with an Idea. He then turn around looking around. "Um, let me see…" He then set two scarves in front of me. "Wayna! I'll give you one of these!"

"These are scarves right?" I ask him looking down at the red and black scarves. "They are very pretty."

"Yeah. I have two of them. My old pops found me when I was just a baby, see… Apparently I was all wrapped up in these Scarves." Red explain to me. "So I've always held on to them… But I want to show you that I appreciate your being my friend. So I'm giving you one! Here, why don't you try putting it on?"

"What?! This is so personal Red." I spoke putting it on.

"OH...? Oh-oh…?" Red spoke happily with a blush. "Wayna! It totally suits you! It look really good! Really!" I look myself over in joy. I did look good. "I'd say we both look pretty spiffy, huh! Heheh hehe! At any these are a proof of our friend ship! Wow, it's gotten really late! Let's head home, Wayna! Oh and I'll come by your place in the morning se we can walk to school together! See you tomorrow!"
