Eve: You said it sis.

Alex: All I gotta say is….epic fail.

Me: *Starts chasing them around room*

Drew: I have no idea what is going on…you know…because I'm blind.

Flare: Why do you make jokes about yourself Drew? It's weird.

Drew: Hey! It just makes me happy. *Trips over rock*

Flare: Hahaha. Well now it makes me happy too Drew. Hahaha.

Drew: We get to take the spotlight and make the disclaimer….Not that I could ever read it.

Flare:…

Flare and Drew: SnivyPro18 does not own pokemon.

Silent Chasm Floor 1:

Austin's POV:

We finally managed to drag Eve into Mt. Thunder after she calmed down. It was surprisingly easy after Ally told us her favorite food was Sitrus berries. At least we had some excitement though. From the looks of it, the dungeon we had just entered wasn't much to behold. The walls were made of plain gray rock and the floors weren't much to look at either.

"Eve seriously, you've got to stop freaking out all the time. We can't bribe and drag you into a dungeon every time we have a mission. It just won't work."

"I can't help it. I talk big about going on adventures in dungeons and finding treasure, but when I get near them I freak out. I'm just a wimp." Said Eve discouragingly.

"You're not a wimp Eve, you're just timid." Said Ally trying to cheer up her sister. "You shouldn't say that about yourself."

Eve looked down and sighed. "Yeah, I guess... I-I'm fine now. Let's just go."

I nodded towards her and we began to explore the floor. After walking for half an hour, we reached the stairs. We were about to continue when we heard a scream coming from the room to the right.

"We should go check that out, someone could be in trouble." Ally suggested. Eve and I nodded as we rushed off to find the source of the scream.

Eventually we arrived in a room with a vulpix and an electabuzz. The electabuzz had the vulpix backed up into a corner and seemed to be preparing for an attack. The vulpix, apparently female by the voice, was huddled against the wall looking terrified as the electabuzz charged up electricity. She seemed to notice us as we entered the room as she shot us a pleading glance before shutting her eyes tightly from fear.

The electric type was about to unleash its attack, but I jumped into action, bringing down a harsh iron tail on the pokemon's head. The electabuzz

was harshly slammed into the ground where it then lost consciousness.

After my team regrouped, we ran up to the frightened vulpix who was still trembling with her eyes closed.

"Hey, are you ok?" I asked the fire type.

"Huh?" She sounded as she opened her eyes. "Oh. Yeah I'm ok. Thanks for s-s-saving me." She thanked us in a trembling voice.

Ally's POV:

Austin hugged the vulpix, which admittedly made me a bit uncomfortable, but I understood why. I'd want to be comforted after being attacked too. After a while, Austin let go of her. She seemed perfectly fine, so I assumed it worked.

"Ok, so I'm guessing you're expecting an introduction huh? Well my name's Flare and my friend Drew and I were exploring this mountain when we got separated. I was going to go find him when that freak went crazy and attacked me out of nowhere." Flare explained.

"Hey!" Shouted someone from behind us. Flare seemed to perk up at the sound of the voice, which turned out to be that of a cyndaquil upon turning around. "Let my friend go!" He shouted forcefully. He had already taken up a fighting stance, so reasoning was immediately off the table.

He was about to attack us when he noticed that Flare wasn't scared of us. "Flare!" He said happily as he tackled her to the ground. "I'm so glad your ok!" He exclaimed after getting off of her. He then turned to Austin.

"Thank you for saving Flare. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. I thought you were the guy who attacked her. My name's Drew by the way. And you are?"

"My name's Austin and this is my girlfriend Ally and her twin sister Eve." Said Austin.

"Ahh, uhh. Nice to meet you. Mmm... What exactly are you?" Asked Drew.

"You don't know?" Austin asked.

"No it's not that. It's just that I'm blind." He replied. "I can't really see you. The only reason I can even navigate myself is my overly sensitive nose. You could just say that my eyes are out for lunch and my nose is covering for them." He said while laughing.

"Oh, sorry. I'm a pikachu, Ally is an eevee, and Eve is an eevee too obviously since they're identical. Well... Except for the eyes. Still haven't figured that out. Ally has green eyes and Eve has pink ones. It's really weird... Anyway, nice to meet you both." Said Austin enthusiastically.

"You're a rescue team aren't you?" Flare inquired.

We all nodded. "Yep. Name's Team Eviolite."

"Can we join your team? We don't need a friend area or anything fancy. Just a place to stay." She asked us.

"Sure, we can just make some space in our base for you. No big deal. Welcome aboard." I smiled. "We don't exactly have an occupancy issue."

"Yay, thank you!" Said Flare happily as she hugged Drew.

Austin's POV:

My badge suddenly beeped. I took it out to see that the button was blinking. I pressed it and then surprisingly it talked.

"Hello Austin, member of rescue team Eviolite. I am the Rescue Association Virtual Badge Informer or RAVBI. I was invented by the head of the rescue team association, Lucario, to assist rescue teams around the world. You are the first to receive me in this area since you are a new team. To register another pokemon as a team member, press the center button and scan the intended target." Said RAVBI in a sort of mechanical voice.

I did as instructed. I pushed the center button and held it facing Drew and a red light moved up and down his body, scanning him. A second later RAVBI spoke up.

"Species: cyndaquil.

Name: Drew.

Age: 15

Attributes: Blind."

"Welcome to Team Eviolite Drew the cyndaquil." Said RAVBI

I then repeated it on Flare.

"Species: vulpix.

Name: Flare.

Age: 13"

"Welcome to Team Eviolite Flare the vulpix."

I then pushed the button and RAVBI spoke.

"I can be a wonder of convenience to you. I can give you tips, information on mystery dungeons, ect. Note that I will not be functional during a dungeon boss battle."

I then put the badge….or RAVBI back in my treasure bag and we, along with our new teammates, continued on through the dungeon until we found the stairs again and proceeded through the dungeon.

Once we got to the next floor, the dungeon began to shake. Ally of course yelled 'earthquake' and held on to me until it stopped. When she let go of me I whispered to her softly to calm her down. She looked like a nervous wreck.

"Is she always like that?" Asked Drew quietly.

"Let's just say she's had bad experiences with earthquakes." I replied, to which he nodded.

We carefully navigated the fourth floor and proceeded to the fifth with ease. So far, the dungeon was going smoothly. We continued walking and I found an odd key.

RAVBI: "This is a dungeon key. It opens a secret door here on this floor so keep exploring. You might just find something of interest hidden behind it."

At that, Eve's eyes lit up. "Like treasure?!" She smiled, tail wagging wildly.

I laughed at her strange shift in behavior. "We'll certainly see." I replied as we set off to find the secret door. We continued our search until we came across a wall that had a strange mark on it.

RAVBI: "Austin, take out the key and hold it in front of the wall."

I did as told and the key began glowing. It then disappeared and the wall crumbled down. Inside we found a rock that seemed to be covered in ice.

RAVBI: That is a glacial stone. It can be used to evolve an eevee into a glaceon.

Ally wanted to take it to evolve but then she looked at me while tilting her head in confusion. "What's the matter Austin? Why do you look so troubled all of the sudden?" She asked worriedly.

"Huh, oh i-it's nothing." I lied but Ally caught on. She hugged me tightly. "Come on, it's ok. You can tell me anything." She said sweetly.

I sighed. "It's just that I don't want you to evolve. I love you the way you are….. Beautiful." I said nervously.

She looked at me apologetically and kissed me. "It's ok. I won't evolve if you don't want me to." She said as she hugged me.

"Do you want to evolve?" I asked her, a bit worried that I had guilted her into staying an eevee.

"Not if it makes you uncomfortable. I don't want to make you uncomfortable because I love you." She said while blushing.

"Uh, I don't mean to break up this romantic moment but don't we have a mission to complete?" Asked Flare.

We let go of each other and I put the glacial stone and RAVBI back in the bag. "Let's go then."

"I think we're almost there." I said to the others as we continued our exploration of the dungeon.

RAVBI: "That would be correct. You are on floor nine of ten according to my database."

"All the more reason to step it up. Come on guys!" I exclaimed as I motioned for them to pick up the pace, only to receive a slap on the back of the head from Flare.

"Can you slow down? Some of us can't keep up." She added, slightly annoyed.

We reached the peak after a while of Walking. The sky was beginning to look dreary as it began raining. My cheeks were sparking because of the added humidity and water.

"Where are Jumpluff and Shiftry?" Asked Ally.

Suddenly, Jumpluff came up to us with a worried expression on her face.

"Are you ok Jumpluff?" I asked.

"Yes but I can't say the same for Shiftry." We then noticed him and went over to him.

"Are you ok Shiftry?" Eve asked him, to which she received a pained grunt.

"Urg, just get away from here." Said Shiftry, seemingly in pain.

"What?" She asked just as the room became pitch black.

"What's going on?" Asked Ally sounding scared. Seconds later the darkness faded, revealing a gigantic yellow and black bird.

RAVBI: "That is Zapdos, the legendary electric bird pokemon, however I do not know why he would be here."

In a flash, Shiftry was gone. "If you wish to save this meddler then scale Mount Thunder, but be forewarned. I will not show mercy to those who trespass on my territory. Come at your own risk." He said before flying off.

Considering the circumstances, we had no choice but to return to the base.

Back at the base:

"Thank you for saving me Team Eviolite." Said Jumpluff.

"But Shiftry still needs help." Said Jumpluff number two.

"Don't worry about that. We'll save him." I said confidently. "Zapdos won't be a problem for us."

"Thank you so much! We'll see you around I guess. Good luck with Shiftry!" The two jumpluff thanked us before they turned towards town and left.

We were about to go into the base when Alakazam approached us. "Zapdos is not a pokemon to be taken lightly. Surely you know that. You should just leave this rescue to us."

I raised an eyebrow. "You?"

"Zapdos is way too powerful for your skill level." Alakazam boasted.

"Skill level? Heh. Alakazam, you're in the wrong business if you think rescuing is about skill. We're not going after Zapdos because we think we can beat him. We're going after Zapdos so we can save a friend. That's what it's all about. Protecting people. We protect and defend others. And here I was thinking that you were the smart one."

"So you can handle fierce electric type moves?"

"Yes."

"And Zapdos is strong and fierce. He might just gobble you up for a snack."

"Oh real mature..." I said as I rolled my eyes.

Then Ally spoke up. "We are a rescue team and this mission was given to us so it is our duty to make sure it is fulfilled and not for others who belittle us like arrogant children. We will go on that mission and you are not going to stop us! And if you really knew everything, you'd know about the legendary Team Mystic's rescue philosophy! Never turn a blind eye to a soul in need! " She yelled.

I don't know if this really happened but I think Alakazam looked a bit scared of Ally. And who's Team Mystic?

"Fine, we will see just how good you are by how you complete this mission or if you even manage to do so, but just remember that we warned you." He said before he and his team left.

"Man that guy makes me so mad. If he ever does anything to Ally..."

I turned to see that Ally seemed to be crying.

"Ally? Are you ok?" I asked.

"Please Austin don't get mad. I don't like it when your like that." She replied.

Seeing her like that just made my heart break, and the thought that I had made her cry almost made it unbearable. I'll admit I had also started to tear up as well.

I hugged her. Everyone else seemed to be inside the base by then.

"It's not that I want to get angry and I'm certainly not mad at you." I said while stroking her beautiful, soft brown fur.

"I know. It's just that I'm not used to you being angry, and the fact that I don't know you when you're like that scares me."

I nodded and started whispering gentle things to her. "It's ok. I'll try to keep my cool when I'm around you from now on, ok?" I said calmly.

"Do you want to go to the lake?" asked Ally.

"Sure." I said while smiling.

Inside the base, Flare's POV:

"What do you think Austin and Ally are doing right now?" I asked Eve.

"Probably going on a date at the lake right now." She replied.

"Um, hey Eve…can I ask you something?" I asked.

"What is it?" She asked with now peeked interest.

"Do you think Drew likes me?" I asked her. Drew had long since gone to sleep.

"Why would you want to…..wait, you like him?" She asked back.

"Yes, but I don't know how to tell him." I answered.

"Well just tell him the truth then." She suggested.

"What if he doesn't like me?" I asked back.

"What's not to like? I think you two would make a great couple." Said Eve while smiling. "I mean, I haven't exactly known you for that long, but you certainly look like you would." She laughed.

"I hope so... I'll tell him later then." After a while, Eve and I both fell asleep.

Back at the lake, Ally's POV:

"Isn't it just wonderful out here?" I asked Austin as we sat there staring out over the lake.

"Yep but it's nothing compared to you." He replied.

I then blushed harder than I had ever before. "Thank you Austin." I said while leaning into his chest while he hugged me.

We just sat there, illuminated by the moon's florescent light, enjoying each other's company. I don't think that I would ever be able to live if I lost Austin. He's always so nice to me and I don't want to ever leave his arms. I noticed my eyelids were becoming heavy and I quickly fell asleep, wrapped in his arms, under the wonderful starry sky.

Austin's POV:

I noticed that Ally had fallen asleep. She looked so peaceful. If anyone ever disturbed that peace I would not want to be them. She was the first person I met in this world and she helped me start my new life here. She was truly my perfect match. I stayed there looking at the stars wondering how Ally and I were brought together. Was this fate? Did I meet the person that I was truly meant to be with? I already knew the answer but even though I did, I didn't care because right now I was having the time of my life with this incredibly wonderful girl. I was beginning to get tired so I let myself fall asleep while holding Ally close. Only one more thought went through my mind before I fell asleep… How could life possibly get any better? I then drifted off, not knowing the terrible truth that would possibly end up destroying Ally's will to live and my only chance at love.

Author's Note:

Aww, wasn't that just so nice. And my chapters just seem to be getting longer with my growing experience with escaping the zone of copying the game storyline and my various new characters. I would also like to thank aggronlv48 for Drew's OC. I don't want the tone at the end of the chapter to be ruined so the end of this authors note shall be peaceful.

Everyone: I couldn't agree more.

SnivyPro18. See you later guys.
