We arrived at the Pokémon Cemetery building.

Tombstones lined up everywhere. The floor was made of gray bricks and so were the walls. It simply looked depressing like every Pokémon Cemetery building.

I put my paw on Pookie's tombstone. I looked down on the cold floor.

"Pookie…" I whispered. I felt my eyes watered. Before any tears came out I felt an arm coming around my shoulder. I looked to see it was Tad.

He looked at me completely red and then at the floor.

"Even though his body is buried under cement…" Tad mumbled shyly. "His soul is somewhere…" Tad paused for a bit, "Better..."

I smiled at the thought. "You're right," I said. I took my paw off the tombstone. I looked to see Venus, Grandpa, Rai, and Arrow behind us. I noticed Blaze was missing.

"Where's Blaze?" I asked them.

"Hm? Where did he go?" Arrow asked. He began floating around searching for him. Venus and Grandpa looked at each other.

"I think he went to visit your sister…" Venus said.

"Your sister?" Arrow asked.

I ignored his question. I stood there with my eyes wide open.

My sister… Blair… That's right… She's also here.

I looked at Pookie's grave. I then left and began wandering off in search for my sister's grave. I walked passed Venus, Grandpa, and Rai and they understood where I was going however, Arrow began casually floating by me.

"Eve! Eve! Eve!" Arrow kept repeating trying to grab my attention.

I ignored him and continued walking on passing tons of tombstones. He still kept following me.

When I spotted Blaze looking at a tombstone my heart stopped. I took a deep breath and walked towards him, towards the tombstone. I looked at it to see the name Blair engraved on that tombstone.

Blaze looked at me and then back at the tombstone.

"I never thought I would see her again," Blaze said softly.

"I never thought I would visit her again," I said. We both looked at each other. Blaze smiled.

"She always brought us together when we were fighting," Blaze said. He laughed a little. "We could promise to hate each other forever, but somehow she would get us to make up," Blaze said. He looked at the tombstone with sad sincere eyes.

"She wouldn't allow our friendship to stop," I said with a small smile. "Because she's Blair."

"Evil Eve," Blaze said. My ears perked up and I looked at him with shock.

My original nickname he gave me…

For some odd reason it made me blush.

"Evil Eve," I said to myself. "My nickname was lame," I laughed. Blaze laughed too. "Well at least it wasn't as bad as Sir Knight Blaze the Third," I snickered. "Just what was that? The Third? Where did that come from?"

"Hey! I was little! Come on!" Blaze argued. We both laughed and looked at the tombstone.

"She has done it again…" I said with a smile. Blaze nodded and closed his eyes.

"Evil Eve," Blaze said with a smile.

"Sir Knight Blaze the Third," I responded.

"Arrow the most awesomeness and soon to be Eve's husband the first!" Arrow shouted cheerfully.

Blaze and I just glared at him.

I had forgotten he followed me. I sighed. I looked at Blair's tombstone one last time.

"I'll visit you again," I said with a smile. Blaze smiled too as we all walked away.

"Charlie left…?" I asked again to Zen. It was a surprised to see Zen here. He was usually busy since after all he is the president.

"Yes, my little caramel," Zen said. His usually bright smile wasn't there.

With all that he had heard that had happen there's just no way he could smile brightly like he usually does.

He gave me a small sad smile of which I wasn't used too. I was shocked from how different it made him look. He then handed me a letter.

"Charlie wanted me to give this to you," Zen said. It was a simple white envelope. Zen handed it to me. He looked anxiously at the clock hanging on the kitchen's wall. "I have to go now," Zen said. I lowered my ears. Zen did to as well. He gave me a quick hug. "I love you my little caramel," Zen said quickly.

"I love you too Father," I said softly.

A loud knock was coming from the door. Zen hurriedly went to the door and left.

I was alone in the kitchen in silence. I looked at the envelope Charlie had left behind. I opened the envelope. Inside was a folded up piece of paper. I unfolded it to see it was a letter.

Dear Eve,

By the time you read this letter I will be gone. I know that we didn't get to know each other as well as I hoped, but I am glad I was able to meet you. I've always wondered why I saw you in my dreams. Maybe it was just a mere coincidence that you appear in my dreams, but from the first dream to the first time I actually laid my eyes on the real you thought you were beautiful. It was shocking to hear that my dream of you and Vance came true. After that I had another dream. It was in that dream that I was able to locate you and P.D. I know I didn't come to save you, but I knew you would come back safely. And also I know from that dream we were not meant to be. Your heart will choose someone and that someone will not be me sadly. Your evolution form is even more breath taking then how you look now. Though our meeting was short I did fall in love with you, but with that love I don't trust myself being near you. Knowing who you will end up with might cause me to ruin your happy future. All I want from you is two things. I want you to know that I love you. I love you more then life itself and more then sleep and I want you to be happy with your true love, so with this I bid you farewell and happiness.

With only love,

Charlie

I dropped the letter from my paws. I was overwhelmed with tears. I never knew Charlie felt like this. My whole entire body filled up with guilt and sadness. I picked the letter up and held it tightly. My grip was so tight that the paper started to crinkle where my paws held it.

"Never knew you cried so much," A familiar voice said. I turned around to see it was Rai.

I kept silent and said nothing to him. I rubbed my eyes, but tears still flowed out of my eyes.

Rai walked over to me. He noticed the letter, but he was more focused on me. He looked at me with an emotionless face.

"You know," Rai paused and looked up. "It's actually good to cry," Rai said. He began to wipe my ongoing tears off with his paw. He was by my side. "It shows you're not afraid to release your emotions," Rai said.

It was at that point I finally stopped crying.

"Then what about you?" I asked. I put the letter. He looked at me with a straight face. He laid his tail on top of mines. He closed his eyes.

"You truly are stronger than me," Rai said. Something about the tone in his voice sound familiar.

"Rai…" I said softly. I thought about what Grandpa and Venus had told me what they have done to me in the past. "Do I know you…?" I asked him.

For a brief second I saw Rai frown and then his face returned to his normal emotionless face.

"I wonder…" Rai said.

"Seriously!" I nudged Rai. "You know about the DREAM EATER incident right? You and the others were ease dropping," I said. "Do I know you?" I asked again.

Rai looked at me, only looked at me and nothing else. I waited anxiously for a reply. I could hear the clock casually tick while I still sat there waiting for an answer from Rai. Rai grabbed the letter.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. Rai placed the letter on the table. I looked at him confused while he looked at me with no expression still.

He then grabbed my paw and took me out the door.

"Rai?" I panted a bit as he dragged me. "Where are we going?" I questioned him. I was able to release my paw from his grip and stomped the ground. We didn't get far since I could still see my house in a distance. I glared at him.

Rai took notice.

"Tell me where you were going to take me?" I asked angrily. Rai took a deep a breath and then exhaled a loud whistle. I looked at him confused.

My ears perked up. I began to hear a flapping noise and it was becoming louder. A shadow began to cast over me. I looked up at the sky to see a Pokémon hovering above us. It swooped down and landed right in front of us.

It had a brown coloring and a triangle pattern of a darker shade of brown running down its chest. It had wings and the wings and wedge-shaped tail were dark brown like the pattern on its chest, although the underside of its wings was the same light brown as most of its body. It had a bushy creamy color eyebrows or horns of some sort on its forehead. It also had dark red eyes.

It was a Noctowl.

"You called for my services?" The Noctowl asked looking at Rai. Rai nodded. The Noctowl looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Is that who I think it is?" The Noctowl asked as he got his wing and touched my cheek. I looked at him nervously and back away from his touch. "Hmm? Shy? I guess growing really do changes you," The Noctowl said as he returned his wing back to his side.

"D-do I know you?" I asked a little embarrassed.

The Noctowl looked at me with awe.

"To be forgotten… A Noctowl never forgets!" He brought his wing to his beak and yawned. "But… We be sleepy when the sun's out," He said as he stretched his wings. He looked at Rai. "Something you needed?" He asked.

"If you may, take us to the battle field," Rai said.

"The battle field…?" I asked him, but of course he ignored me. He only looked at me then back at the Noctowl.

"Ah how long it has been since I've flapped over there," The Noctowl hooted cheerfully. "You'll be down under correct?" He asked Rai.

Down under…?

Rai nodded. The next thing I knew I felt Rai's paws push me toward the Noctowl. The Noctowl then turned around. He brought his wing back and got me under his wing. The Noctowl then pulled his wing back to his side causing me to be dragged onto his back.

Rai pushed me up and got my two front paws to wrap around the Noctowl's neck. The Noctowl began to flap his wings and up we went without Rai.

"Rai?" I yelled. I held onto the Noctowl's neck as though my life depended on it.

"No worries. I did not forget him," The Noctowl said. He swooshed back down causing me to scream. He grabbed Rai on his back with his claw toes and off we went back higher up into the air.

I looked at Rai surprised how he was not freaking out being dangled.

Arrow's little "flying lesson" he gave me sure didn't help since I was still screaming in terror not being able to touch the floor.

"You be hurting my ears youngling!" The Noctowl shouted.

"Eve, please do calm down," Rai said all nonchalant. I could hardly hear him over my own screams.

"That's easy for you to say!" I shouted.

"Don't worry! We be almost here!" The Noctowl shouted.

Rai was only above the ground only by an inch. The Noctowl released his grip on Rai and he landed on all fours. The Noctowl then landed on the ground and I happily got off his back.

"Here we be!" The Noctowl said cheerfully. "The battlefield."

The battlefield was nothing, but plain grass. The only thing that stood out was one huge gray rock that leaned against the only tree that was in sight here. The trees contained some sort of blue fruit. They were Oran Berries.

"This is the battlefield…?" I asked both Rai and the Noctowl. They both just nodded. Rai and the Noctowl looked at each other. They both gave each other a nod and the Noctowl swiftly flew away.

"Battle?" Rai asked. I looked at him all confused.

"You want us to battle?" I gave him a questioning look.

Rai nodded. I sighed.

"I'm not much of a battler," I said.

"Really?" He asked. Rai closed his eyes and kept silent for awhile.

Rai's body suddenly began to glow. He was soon engulfed by a big yellow ball. I finally realized what he was doing. He released the ball and the ball began to shoot directly at me.

I dodged his CHARGE attack. I glared at him.

"What the heck?" I yelled in anger. "I don't want to battle you!" I said firmly.

My words clearly didn't faze Rai.

He used THUNDERBOLT on me and this time it hit me directly. I instantly fell down, but quickly got back on my feet.

"That's it!" I muttered.

I used FRUSTARATION on Rai. It hit Rai, but it wasn't very effective. Apparently I wasn't frustrated enough for it to be powerful enough.

Rai suddenly used DOUBLE TEAM and I soon became surrounded by emotionless Rai's. I looked around trying to figure out who was the real Rai. I could see they were ready to pounce and use TAKE DOWN on me. Before the real Rai or any of his fake images were able to attack I began to use DIG and hid underneath the ground.

I could hear Rai above me as I was within the ground. His footsteps hit lightly on the ground. I could tell he was trying to figure out when I was going to pop out.

I waited a little longer. Once he walked right on top of me I jumped out of the ground and directly hit him from down under. Rai ended up flying up into the sky then crashed on to the ground face down.

He got up slowly. I stood there cautiously watching him. His face became a little bit brown from the impact to the ground. He smiled at me. It caught me off guard. I didn't see it coming when he leaped in front of me scratching my face with NIGHT SLASH. The attack was very powerful to where it pushed me further away from him even with my feet implanted as firmly as it could be on the ground.

Rai then used QUICK ATTACK and headed straight for me, but I used SAND ATTACK. He ended up stopping himself rubbing his eyes. As Rai was trying to regain his sight back I used IRON TAIL right on top of his head.

My attack made Rai bounce from the ground and land on his back. He looked like he was in pain.

I stopped and looked at him. It was clear that Rai couldn't fight anymore.

Rai looked at me and gave me a faint smile. It was a familiar friendly smile. I felt something inside me that felt overwhelming. A wonderful sensation came over me which made me smile along with blushing as I looked at Rai.

He had bruises all over, yet my eyes only looked at his eyes.

"Could you get me an Oran Berry?" Rai asked. I looked away from his eyes and at the tree.

"What no please?" I asked him. Rai actually laughed. I felt all thoughts disappeared from my mind and was replaced with Rai's laughter.

"Please?"

I suddenly came back to reality. I nodded and quickly went to the tree.

I climbed up the rock that was right next to the tree. Once I was on top of the rock I was able to reach an Oran Berry. I plucked it from the tree and tossed it down to the floor. I began to climb down the rock, but then I noticed something. There were marking on the rock. Small straight lines were emplaced on the rock.

It seemed that the lines were in a row of some sort as every four lines would have a dash going through it. I looked around the rock to see a lot of the same thing.

My eyes became wide once I found something other than lines.

A name… Not just any name. Rai's name was there. All the lines were following after Rai's name. I inspected the rock even more to find my name was also inscribed within the rock. Following after my name was only one single line.

I looked away from the rock and took the Oran Berry. I walked back to Rai and gave him the Oran Berry.

Rai began to eat the Oran Berry. His bruises started to disappear and he looked healthy again. He got up and sat down.

"Thanks," Rai said. I paused and looked at Rai.

"I remember…" I said quietly. Rai looked at me astonished.

"You do…?" He asked sounding surprised. Rai's face slowly went into its emotionless phase again.

"Did you let me win?" I asked him. My ears lowered down and I frowned. Rai didn't answer me.

He got up from the floor and began to walk. He was walking toward the rock. When he reached the rock I saw him put his paw on it and do something.

"There," Rai said. I walked toward Rai to see what he had done. I looked at the rock to see that there was another line next to my name, another tally mark.

"You've gotten stronger," Rai said. He gave me a smile.

"Two out of a billion," I said. "I'm real good," I said with a small laugh. Rai put his hand on the rock.

"Hey Eve…" Rai said softly. He took his paw off and turned his head and looked at me. "Do you remember how we first me.

I looked into my restored memories of Rai.

Flashback

I looked around. I was in a town filled with unfamiliar faces. I sat in the middle of the moving crowd. I tried searching for a familiar face, but I wasn't able to find anyone at all.

"Move out of the way!" A big muscular Pokémon exclaimed. It was a Machoke. He picked me up by the neck and looked at me with angry eyes. "Don't just sit here when there's plenty of Pokémon are walking this way!"

"S-s-sorry!" I stuttered. I could feel myself shaking as his grip around my neck tightens.

"Good," The Machoke said.

He then lowered me down, but only to tease me. He quickly brought me back up and threw me. I slammed against a wall of the store.

I slowly picked up my head. Everyone could clearly see I was hurt, but they just simply passed me by as if I was never there. I looked back down to the floor.

I sat there, leaning against the wall in pain.

"I won't cry…" I muttered to myself. "I won't cry…"

"Why not?" A Pokémon asked me.

I looked up with surprise to see someone spoke to me. It was a Shinx.

"Because I'm a big Pokémon now," I said. The Shinx stared at me.

"Really?" The Shinx asked. "You look about the same size as me," He said. "And I'm not very big myself." He sat down next to me.

"I mean I'm too old to cry," I said softly. "I'm eight and if I want to join Pokémon Battles I can't cry over little stuff like this!" I yelled in pain. Trying to get my point across wasn't easy when I was still hurt from the impact against the wall.

The Shinx held out an Oran Berry in front of my face. I looked at it with surprise.

"For me…?" I asked surprised. The Shinx nodded.

I took it and began to eat it. I started to feel better immediately.

"Thank you," I said.

The Shinx didn't say anything. He nodded and walked away. I looked at him surprised that he was just suddenly leaving.

"W-wait!" I huffed as I ran after him.

The Shinx stopped and turned to me. He didn't say anything.

"Uh…" We both just stayed there in silence for a few minutes.

"If you have nothing to say then I'm leaving," The Shinx said. He turned around. Before he began walking I took a hold of his tail.

"Don't leave me alone!"

He looked at me with great surprise.

"I'm not sure where I am… I can't find my older sister," I said sadly. I let go of his tail and buried my face with my front paws. "I don't want to be alone…" I said. I had the strongest urge to cry and I let that urge take over. I cried. Tears came out of my eyes. "Please don't leave me alone!" I begged. My two front paws were becoming wet as they covered my weeping eyes.

I suddenly felt a paw patting my head.

I looked up surprised to see it was the Shinx patting my head. He smiled at me sweetly.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Eve…" I said embarrassed.

"Rai," The Shinx said.

"Yeah," I said with a nod. I felt my face flush. "I was saved by a six year old…"

Rai laughed a little. I felt my stomach churn. I felt a sudden importance of needing to tell Rai about me and battling.

"Rai you should know…" I didn't finish my sentence.

"What a surprise!" A familiar voice chirped. Rai and I both looked up to the sky to see it was the Noctowl who said that. "You're laughing," The Noctowl said surprised.

"Mori!"

The Noctowl looked at me.

"So you do remember me?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Were you pulling my whee little claws earlier then?" Mori asked sounding upset. "Cruel joke that was," The Noctowl pouted. He turned around not facing me, silently sulking.

"Um no you see!" Rai pushed me onto Mori's back before I could finish explaining. My front paws instantly wrapped around his neck.

Like a rocket he lifted up to the sky fast. I hung on tight knowing that we were going to rush back down to sweep Rai. As my prediction came true Rai hung about being held by Mori's feet. He showed no expression on his face unlike me. I was able to not scream, but I made soft whimpers.

We arrived back at my house. I felt better being on the ground.

"I wish I could stay, but it seems I am needed elsewhere," Mori said as he lifted his head up. "Whistles be always heard and must be answered by me," Mori said with a smile on his beak. He bowed down at Rai then left.

Rai looked at me.

"Don't think we'll have another battle soon," Rai said. I gave him a fake smile.

"Don't worry. I don't like battles anymore," I said. "I only battle for self defensive." Rai's face seemed to lose all emotion. "I…"

"Eve?"

I turned my head to see Tad. Tad's face instantly turned red.

"I wanted to…" Tad brought his paw to his face and coughed to clear his throat. "Erm… Ask…" Tad stood up and brought his two front paws together. "D-d-do you want to go…" Tad stuttering began. "T-to C-c-url Bay!" Tad said frantically.

"Curl Bay?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's c-c-close to where I-I live," Tad said shyly. He still managed to smile. "A celebration is going to be there!"

"Could I tag along too?" Rai asked. Tad looked at Rai. Tad's face for a split second looked red. It wasn't red from blushing, but red from anger. I was taken back and shocked seeing Tad actually look angry. In a blink of an eye Tad just looked embarrassed.

Was it my imagination…?

Tad unwillingly nodded.

"Count me in!" Arrow shouted cheerfully. Arrow floated right by side. "Curl Bay! Curl Bay!" He flapped his arms up and down excitedly. "Me and my future wife!"

I sighed.

"I've always wanted to go to Curl Bay…" A voice muttered.

I was shock to see it was Blaze. Blaze noticed my expression and gave me his usually goofy smile.

Tad sucked up some air and then exhaled. He then let out a bright smile that matched his bright red cheeks.

"Everyone can come," Tad said. He clapped his front paws together.

I didn't even say yes yet, but it doesn't seem to matter.
