Wow...I got reviews...I'm surprised...Thanks to everyone! This story is coming to me a lot easier now. And to those who are reading my other story, trust me...I'm trying. I've got part of the 13th chapter done, and I've had band camp for the past two weeks...


Kia and Sparky had took a wrong turn. They heard more shots being fired. The poachers were either killing more innocent pokemon, or chasing a certain one that was on all of their minds at the time.

She finally couldn't take it anymore. They must have been running for over and hour. She stopped for a second before falling down onto the dirt and grass covered ground. Koji rolled a few feet away from her. Sparky stopped and ran to her side.

'Oh no...I should have known she couldn't keep running like this...' He mumbled.

He too was worn out. He was hot and panting with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

'Where are we?' Koji asked innocently. Sparky had almost forgot about him. He was just so focused on getting Kia out of thee woods.

'I...I don't know,' He finally answered the small fox.

Koji walked over to where the human lay. He sniffed her face and gave her a lick on the nose. She smelled like...his mom...

The thought of his mom brought tears to his eyes again.

'It's OK kid. I'll get us home,' Sparky reassured the kit.

Sparky sniffed the ground, then the air. There were just too many smells. Berries, wild pokemon, both Koji and Kia, then of course the poachers...He could tell they were getting closer. The smell of gunpowder was strong throughout the entire west section of the forest...

Somehow he needed to either hide Kia, get someone to help them, or get her to camp. Right now he couldn't really do any of the options.

He way far too small to haul a human. Even if Koji was full grown, they wouldn't be large enough.

Somehow, he needed to get help...but without leaving the two alone...


(AN: To make this part simple, Sam can understand everyone except for Patch the Cubone. He hasn't been around him as much as Splash and Blitz.)

'Do you guys smell that?' Blitz asked.

"Smell what?" Sam asked.

'You wouldn't be able to, because your human.' Splash answered his trainer.

All four of them had stopped for a short break beside a stream. They had left the cabin at about ten, and now it was nearing four AM, and still no sign (or whiff) of Kia or Sparky.

'It smells like...like...burning stuff,' Blitz said in lack of words. (It's gunpowder...but they wouldn't know that...)

'Yeah,' Patch said, mixed with a yawn.

"Come on guys...We need to keep look-"

Sam was interrupted when they heard a gun go off in the distance.

'That came from the West,' Splash noted.

'We should stay on this side of the woods then.' Patch replied.

"What did he say?" Sam asked one of the two Eons.

'He said not to go West.' They answered together.

'But what if that's where Kia is?' Blitz questioned.

"She's right...Plus, if there is trouble there, we have each other for help." Sam said.

'Right!' All the pokemon shouted.


"What should we do now? I can't believe he just took off like that!" Lisa shouted. She had been rambling on and on about this since Sam had disappeared, along with both of their pokemon.

"I think we should go and report them. Mrs. Jacova and Mr. Keith would send their pokemon out to find them. No one would get hurt, and they would be back by morning." Danny said calmly.

"Kia would be even MORE mad at me...If that's even possible..." Lisa mumbled.

"What do you want to do then? Go out there with no pokemon at all? We'd be a Pokemon's meal by time we found them!"

The duo weren't cooperating at all. In fact the only thing they agreed on, was to disagree with each other...

"No, I bet Sam will find her, and they'll be back before seven tomorrow! I hope so anyways, cause that's when they some and check cabins," Lisa told herself more than Danny.

"Whatever. Let's just go to bed then, and leave a note for Sam to wake us up when he gets back," Danny yawned after saying this.

"Ok. sounds like a plan."

Lisa would much rather be with Sam, looking for her friend. But instead, she was stuck in the cabin with some kid she had only met yesterday. A kid that was getting on her nerves...

'Please come back safe guys...I'm sorry Kia...I should have believed you...'

After convincing herself they would be back before she woke up, Lisa fell asleep, thinking only one thing...

She hoped she would get a chance to apologize to her best friend.


'Kia! Please wake up. Kia?'

"Mmmm..." She moaned.

Her back hurt terribly and her legs were sore.

'Kia! You're OK!' Sparky shouted as she opened her eyes.

It was still dark out, but you could almost feel the sun coming.

"What happened?" She asked her pokemon.

'You fell down. Sparky dragged you here. In the bushes.' Koji answered her.

She looked down at the cute little Eevee. For the first time, she noticed his eyes were more of a silverish-purple. Not the usual black. And his long ears had white tips.

She picked up the pup and stood up. Her back hurt more than she had thought.

Her lower back felt like it was being jabbed at with a sharp knife.

She ignored it when she heard barking. It sounded like Houndours and Houndooms.

She gasped. "Oh no! We have to get out of here! Those must be the poachers' pokemon, and it sounds like they smell us!"

They started running towards the East again as the dog pokemon's' barking continued.

'Kia, I smell water. If we can cross it, they may loose our trail.' Sparky said while running.

"Right. Follow your nose, Sparky!"

Surprisingly to her, after a few moments, she too could smell water. She could smell the dogs' and the gunpowder too.

Not wanting to think about it now, she stuck the thought in the back of her head, and continued to run for not only her life, but Koji's as well. She just had to keep her promise to Kiarah.


"Do you hear barking?" Sam asked his pokemon.

'Yeah, I do.' Splash answered.

'Sounds like houndour. Maybe a few Houndoom,' Blitz added.

"But what would those kind of pokemon be doing out here in the woods? They don't naturally live here, do they?" Sam questioned again.

They continued walking that way, being more cautious now that they heard the dog pokemon. Hopefully, they wouldn't want a fight...

"Hey...is that...Kia!" Sam said, running towards the one person they had been looking for. And of course, Sparky was right with her.

As Kia ran forward, she too saw Sam and the others. But they had no time to stop and chit-chat. Not now. Sam stopped as Kia was about 15 ft form him.

To his surprise, she didn't stop, but shouted, "Don't stop Sam! Follow us!"

He was confused, as were the 3 pokemon next to him, but took off after her anyways. After they had caught up with her, and were side by side in a dead sprint, Sam tried to talk to her.

"Why...are...we...running?" He said, having taken breaths in between each word.

"Houndour...chasing...us..." She answered in the same manner.

He didn't ask anymore questions, even though he had about 20 running through his head.

Once they got to the stream, they stopped briefly to catch their breath.

'Kia we need to hurry' Sparky panted.

"Hey!" Sam shouted, seeing what Kia had in her arms. "How did you get the Eevee?"

"I-"

She was interrupted by growling behind them.

The houndooms and houndours had caught up with them, and not too far behind, were the poachers.

But it was not either of those that caught Kia, Koji, and Sparky's attention. It was what one of them had on a wagon being pulled by two houndour.

A white pokemon, with a split tail, and a red jewel on it's forehead...

"Hand over that Eevee!" One of the men said, facing Kia. He had a gun ready to fire at any moment he chose.

"Vee!" Koji squeaked, looking up at the human carrying him.

'Kia, don't do anything they say!' Sparky said, getting in front of his trainer and growling at the men.

She thought about everything that Kiarah had said to her. About it being fate that they met, and that she would...Kia couldn't even bring herself to think about that.

But here before her was the very Espeon that had spoken to her only hours before.

For some unknown reason, Kia's eyes started to glow.

As this happened, the sun started to rise from the east, temporarily blinding the poachers.

Before the poachers could do anything, the two kids and five pokemon had vanished...

All seven of them landed in a pile, with the pokemon on top.

"Hey-get off of us guys!" Sam shouted at the confused pokemon.

'Sorry Sam,' Splash murmured.

After they were all up, and made sure no one had any broken limbs, they looked around them.

"Where are we? And what happened to all of the poachers?" Kia asked, picking up Koji again.

'I dunno. I think we just teleported,' Sparky said, giving Kia a look that said, 'maybe your powers?'

'Is this what Kiarah was talking about? These kind of powers?' Kia questioned in her mind.

It was silent until Sam asked the million dollar question...

"How?"

'Who cares right now! Let's just get out of these woods!' Blitz said. She was eager the go back to bed.

'Hey I think we're close to camp! I can smell lots of humans!' Patch declared.

The other pokemon sniffed the air too. Koji looked up at Kia. He hadn't met any humans before her, and he was nervous.

'I'm scared Kia!' He whined.

"Don't be. It'll be fine. Just stay with either me or Sparky at all times." She assured him.

"Where did you get that Eevee? Mr. Keith said no catching wild pokemon." Sam asked his friend.

"Uh..."

'Kia, it would be best if we kept all of this to ourselves,' Sparky whispered to her. Unfortunately, his siblings had good ears.

'Keep all of what to yourselves?' Blitz said, looking at her brother.

'Sparky, we shouldn't keep things from each other!' Splash said.

"I would rather not talk about it right now." Kia finally answered. "Sam, you're my best friend, but this is a personal issue."

Sam looked hurt for a moment. "OK then...I guess that's fine..."

Splash walked towards the smell of the camp, with Sam following.

Blitz and Patch were right behind them.

'Why are they mad?' Koji asked.

"Because he thinks I don't trust him..." She replied gloomily.

'Maybe it wouldn't hurt to tell only him?' The baby Eevee asked, still looking up at her.

'Maybe I was wrong. Sam has been your friend forever, Kia. I think you could trust him to keep a secret,' Sparky said.

"Yeah. But I don't want to talk about anything that happened last night. Not yet," she said, as the sun was still rising.

She remembered what Kiarah had told them...

'Because, I have seen my future. Future sight does not lie. I am destined to die in these woods before the sun is above the horizon.'

The sun was now above the horizon, and Kiarah had been right.

Now Koji was the only albino pokemon left in the woods...


OK, Koji isn't albino yet, but what I mean is, that when he evolves, he WILL be an albino Espeon. I don't know if I will make him evolve in my story or not, but I just wanted you to understand that part.

So what do you guys think about romance? Some people have said Kia/Danny and others have said Kia/Sam. And what about Lisa? Please tell me what your opinion is!
