"HELP!" Zion rushed into the center with his water tentacles out and propelling him faster. Omnivee laid unconscious in his arms as he went to the front desk. The Joy hit a button causing a pair of Chansey to rush out with a stretcher. She put the barely breathing Pokemon onto it and rushed back with the rest while Zion watched his partner with tear filled eyes.
"How is she?" Zion watched as his pokeballs popped open and all his partners came out. Zurtle was the one talking as he looked at his friend with worry. Even Aurora was quiet as she watched the others with the same amount of worry.
"They'll take care of her. They have to. Why couldn't I though?" Zion sat down in front of the desk as his partners gathered around to try and comfort their friend. Aurora sat on his lap while Zurtle sat next to him. Frost sat across from him with her legs crossed. Gyarados was laying around the entire group. They stayed that way while the rest of their human friends came in with someone draped in a robe. Raz went and leaped easily over the serpent to check on his best friend. Zi was in his thoughts though, and no one was going to pull him out for the moment. He was thinking hard about what had just happened.
--
"Come on girl, wake up!" Zion was frantic as he shook his barely breathing partner for a reply. The robed figure recalled Steelix before walking over with Raz and the others that were there. Only Kir and Gardevoir were missing as they had stayed behind to be with Sara and Roxanne. They all watched as their friend began pulling the water from the ground to his body. His tentacles formed quickly.
"This should make you good as new." He wrapped the water around his partner and focused all his power to heal. A blue light shined around Omnivee for a few seconds before fading. When released from the healing waters, she was in the same condition as she had entered with. In a fit of panic, Zion picked her up and rushed out using the water to propel him quickly toward the Poke-Center.
--
"Why?" The events replayed in his head. The others sat in the room to wait with him. The robed figure bowed to the others before leaving though. They left the badge with Raz to give Zion when he was more consolable. He just put it in his badge case next to his. They stayed quiet until they saw the red emergency light fade and Nurse Joy come out.
"She should be fine to travel in the morning, but she should refrain from any battles until at least a week has passed. We scanned her based on what all the centers were told by Professor Oak's data. Something must have been misprinted though. He listed her as a tri-type, but our scans only showed her as a duel-type. Whatever it was, she's just a Water and Fire Pokemon. You may enter to see her now, but she's sleeping." The nurse bowed to them before heading to the back to clean up. Zion instantly stood and went with all his partners to check on her. Raz and the others all looked confused about what they had just heard.
"How can a Pokemon lose a type?" Kira leaned her head on her husband's shoulder while trying to think about if Rocket had ever removed a type from a poke. Her memory f them didn't really turn up much more then her time encaged with only Gallade, but that brought up memories of Gardevoir's problem, and that was still not close to being solved.
"I'm gonna go check on Sara and Kir. They will want to know about this. Wanna come with me hun?" Raz stood with his hand holding Kira's. The pair went to the room their friend had been moved to. Roxanne had requested to be alone so she could do some paper work for a new type of match that was a lot less dangerous for the trainer. Ken followed them silently, while Rayne went to be with Zion.
--
"Oh, I hope she's ok." Kir stared at the floor from her spot next to Sara on the bed. Gardevoir was sitting in a corner with her eyes closed and an aura coming off her. She had been in this meditative state before Raz and Kira had entered.
"The nurse said she would be, but I still don't know. I wonder if Oak has ever heard of this. I'm gonna go call him and see if he has any advice. Did you do what you promised yet Sara?" Raz stopped just before he exited to hear the girl's response. He knew when she didn't answer that she still hadn't.
"I'm getting around to it." He sighed before going on out. She just closed her eyes while mumbling under her breath about something. Ken laughed a few times to himself while she continued too low for the others with less sensitive ears to hear. Kira sat down in a chair next to the bed while her mind thought about how many problems had sprung on them all at once. Kir just looked around at everyone in their own little modes which left her out of every loop. Mudkip popped out and nudged her to try and do something.
"Let's go check on Zi and Omni." The little girl jumped down while her partner jumped onto her head. He had her hair trained to the point that his body had matted it down partially. The pair quietly exited the room, and Gardevoir almost instantly came out of her trance. She stretched a bit before siting on the arm of the chair that Kira was in. She looked almost upset but also confused.
"You alright? You were out for a while." Sara saw the Pokemon's face and began to worry. Ken was silent as he tried to hear what was wrong.
"I'm just having some troubles seeing the future is all. I'm sure it just has to do with a lot of decisions people will be making." They listened to the strain in her voice, but didn't want to press why she would lye to them about it. She smiled and started back with their talking about what all has happened.
--
"That's an unusual event. I wonder if it has something to do with how she evolved. No Pokemon ever really touch more then the single evolution stone at a time. Your Bellossom and Rayne's Leafeon are fine, so they shouldn't have the same affect happen to them. I'm going to research the scans from Nurse Joy and see if anything comes up. I'll have Nami contact you if I find anything." Oak disappeared from the monitor as Raz hung the phone up. He sat back for a minute while trying to think of what he could do to help Zion with this.
After a few minutes of silent thinking, Raz stood and started back to Sara's room. On the way, he saw Kir and Mudkip standing outside a door. The pair had their ears pressed against it while they listened to whatever was going on inside. Curious about what the pair were up to, he walked up and put his ear to the door as well before speaking to them.
"What are we listening to?" The pair jumped from the surprise, but remained silent. They put their heads back quickly as if they were about to miss something.
"Zion and Rayne are talking about Omnivee. They don't know anyone is listening, so it's getting a little heated." Raz watched her for a second and thought about how he should discourage such behavior. With a sigh, he pressed his head against the door and listened to the sounds as well.
--
"What do you mean by that?" Zion was almost shouting as he stood up to his girlfriend who was just as upset. She stared him down with the force of a Hyper Beam.
"Exactly what I said. You may be part legendary Pokemon, but you are still not powerful enough to use your abilities like that. Your powers drain you. It took a week after you healed me from Ian's attack for you to get back to your normal self. How many times did you try and use your power yesterday? Your trying too hard and now it's affecting you. Just take it easy for a bit. Why is it so hard for you to listen to me?"
The pair were huffing as their tempers flared. Rayne was angry out of concern for how hard Zion was being on himself for not healing Omni, while he was angry out of anger for her saying he had used up too much of his power. Omnivee was laying in the center of a bed with her head covered from the pairs fighting. The other Water poke's were gathered around her, watching carefully. After a few seconds, Zi sat down with his head in his hands.
"I've always had energy. Just ask Raz how wired I was when I got Zurtle. I've never had to watch it, so I'm not used to having to. I wish sometimes I was still the same little kid, but these journeys have changed me. I should be powerful enough to have healed her though. What am I gonna do if she loses another power? What if I still don't have the power?" Rayne sat next to him with her arms wrapping him against her.
"You will do what you can. I'll be there to help you. So will Raz and Kir and Sara and the others. Thats what you all showed me in Kanto. Being part of a team means that you don't have to do everything yourself. I'll always be with you to help. Always remember that." They stayed holding each other for a long while. The Pokemon watched as Omnivee smiled. She knew they were good together. So good that it even heated the room up a little.
--
"I never thought it would happen." Raz looked down at Kir and Mudkip as they left the door they had been listening from. They were almost at the cafeteria when his thoughts hit him.
"What did you think you'd never see daddy?" The pair looked up questioningly, not noticing where they were going until they walked straight into a wall. Raz helped them up quickly and finished his thought.
"I never thought I would see when Zion finally grew-up. He really is a lot more mature then when we started." They thought about it for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. Mudkip had heard from Zi's Water Pokemon all about what he used to be like. While they were in their own thoughts, they heard a blast from outside. Raz picked the pair up and rushed out to see what was happening. They saw something there that made them all gasp in surprise.
--
"So, had any ideas about that problem?" Kira sighed as she looked to Sara and Ken for any more answers to the Gallade problem.
"Have you tried to just tell him you like him?" Ken knew without being able to see their faces that he had said the wrong thing. He could feel all 3 glaring at him.
"You really don't get how love works, do you? You can't just tell someone you like them. Have you ever heard of flirting with them or anything like that?" Sara huffed as she looked away. She was caught off by the response he gave though.
"You mean like pretending to annoy someone just so the focus on you? Like that?" He smiled when Gardevoir and Kira started giggling under their breathes. Sara huffed again without responding. They stayed in the comfort of the silence until Raz and Kir came into the room, out of breath. They were smiling as they sat down on the couch in the room. Each had a pokeball in their hands and everyone noticed that Mudkip was missing.
"What happened to you 2? And where is Mudkip? He was on your head in his usual spot." Kira watched as they smiled while still breathing heavily.
"He's fine. Nurse Joy said she would bring him back here after she healed him." Kira yawned tiredly while holding her ball in her lap. Gardevoir quietly read their minds and laughed a little.
"You both would be able to do such a thing." The pair bowed their heads in thanks while staying in their spots. Their breathing was back to normal.
"Are you gonna tell us what happened?" Sara sat up and stretched as she watched them hold the balls out. They pressed the buttons and released at the same time. When the light faded, a pair of Eevee were standing in the room. They jumped up to their respective new partners and hugged on them.
"How did you find 2 Eevee?" Kira moved and sat next to them. The pair jumped down and ran circles around the room. She thought for a second and released Toxeon to play with them. She hadn't gotten to get out as much since they were in the city so much. All 3 got along well and played while Raz cleared his throat to begin how they got them.
"It was really an interesting turn of events. It started when me and Kir heard a blast from an attack."

A/N: Mwahahaha, cliff hanger! Not really, but I haven't gotten to evil laugh in a long time. Sorry it took so long, but I wasn't quite sure about where I was going with it along with the other work I've been doing. Hopefully I'll get the next part done sooner. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, and as always, thatnks for reviewing. See ya later.
