"And then we caught the Eevee." Raz sat back, letting Kir's sleeping body fall into his lap. She had fallen asleep when Mudkip was brought back. The Eevee were on the couch with Toxeon and the Water poke. They had also fell asleep during the story.

"That was an incredible story. I can't believe some of that happened. No wonder Kir's so tired." They all looked out and saw that it was later in the day then they expected. Sara sighed as the sun made the sky light in oranges and pinks.

"We'll be heading out tomorrow. I looked at the guide and we need to go back through the forest to get to a boat. It'll take us to Dewford Island where the second gym is. I figure we should get almost through the forest tomorrow and then we'll get on the boat the next day. It should be an easy trip." Raz stood up, making sure to move Kir slowly so she wouldn't wake up, and walked to the window. He watched a pair of children in the distance playing with their Skitty. Kira walked up behind him and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Let's go get some rest then. I know you also wanted to do some training tomorrow in the forest." He nodded and the pair walked out of the room. They left their partners on the couch as they were comfortable that way. Gardevoir slipped out after them, but she went down a different hall. Ken listened to their footsteps before he got up to also leave.

"Wait. I was wondering if you would do something for me before you go?" Sara stood up quickly and went to th foot of her bed. He listened to her as she moved her hands quickly around her face. He heard as the bandage dropped, creating a tiny tap that only the most sensitive ears would have heard.

"What are you doing?" He stayed still as she shuffled closer. Before he could figure anything out, she had his hand held tightly in both of hers.

"I'm strong when it comes to most things. I can take pain, and in a weird way, I enjoy it. I can't take some other things though. Please, I need you to tell me your honest opinion. I know your sensitive to sound and touch, so I want you to tell me how this feels." Before another word could pass, his hand was on her face where the bandage had been. He rubbed the sensitive flesh gently while pulling his other hand up to feel the other side. His mind formed her face as he felt the entire scar. She closed her eyes as he continued. He also could feel the blood rush up as she blushed lightly.

"I need some details. What color is your hair, eyes, skin, and lips?" He continued his examination while she stuttered a little before answering.

"Well, my hair is a ocean blue unless I color it to be red. My eyes are also a blue that I've been told compares to a sapphire. My skin is really pale. I never hung out outside to get a tan like my mom or Zion. I guess my lips are just a little darker. I don't use make-up, so I never pay attention to anything like that. Why did you ask?" She could feel him touching her hair with one hand while the other traced her jaw bone.

"When I touch something, I can see it in my head, but only in black and white. Your the first human I've ever seen, so I needed the colors to make the picture perfect." After a few more minutes, he put his arms down and smiled. He could see her face in his head, and now had all the details.

"Well?"

"It looks kinda cute in a way. Look in a mirror. I think you might even laugh about it, you being so tough and all." He laughed as she walked to a mirror that was in the room. When she looked, it made her want to laugh and cry at the same time. On her left cheek, was a scar that covered around half of it with veins going in other directions. Together, they formed a heart shape that was bright pink against her pale skin. Ken was right about one thing. Sara started laughing lightly as she saw her toughened looks become instantly brighter thanks to the pink heart.

"I'm gonna have to dye my hair again. No way will Zion take me seriously now if I don't." She closed her eyes and traced the bottom point of the heart down her cheek and on down to the middle of her neck. While she was doing that, Ken walked up close behind her. He very carefully and quietly put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't jump or even respond other then becoming very still.

"I'm pretty sure Zion doesn't take you seriously at all, and wouldn't if you had a grenade in your hand. He has an odd view of the world, and he mutters in his sleep about flooding it. It's kinda hard to sleep because of it." She was very still before she did what she did next. The fire flowed through her body from his touch. She could feel his breath in her hair. Her reaction went on instinct for what she had actually wanted to do for a while. She was whirled around and had her lips against his before he could even react.

"Thank Arceus, we're finally out!" Zion stared at the city on his knees with his arms stretched upward. The others watched him go from that position to hugging a tree that he was next to. It took Raz, Sara, and Rayne to pull him off. After that, they were pretty quiet while going through the forest. The only real talking was coming from Sara and Ken from a little ways behind everyone but Kir, who had trailed back to listen to them.

"Halen or Roth?" Ken listened as they continued their little game. They were far enough behind that no one could hear except for the tiny listener who had trailed just enough behind. Mudkip was also listening from on top of her head.

"Only an idiot or a cop wouldn't pick Roth. Ok, my turn. Vampire or werewolf?" She watched as they slowly became farther from the group as they were walking at a much more leisurely pace.

"Vampire. Who wouldn't pick them?"

"We should probably try and catch up to the rest of them. Even Kir has gone far enough that I can't see her. Come on." As she started running to catch up, her hand wrapped around his and dragged him along. When they finally caught up, Zion turned his head and started laughing a little.

"Looks like my little sister finally has feelings for someone. Aren't they cute?" While he provoked Sara, Raz backed Kira, Rayne, and Gardevoir away. Kir went to Ken and Sara and tried to think of something to keep a brawl from happening. Ken listened and smiled before kneeling down for a second.

"You really shouldn't be mean to your sister Zi. I've, for lack of better terms, seen what she can do. But now you've thrown me into it, so I'm gonna have to take care of it." Everyone watched as he released Xatu from her ball. She scanned the trees around quickly and showed him every detail.

"What could you possibly do to-" Before he could finish, a rock smacked Zion in the back of the head. He turned quickly to see what had done it, but as soon as he did, another one hit him in the same spot. After everyone saw these happen, they watched as Ken smiled and pulled another rock out of his pocket.

"Yeah, I never did learn much in self defense that would go without really hurting you. I had to learn how to fire marbles or rocks at people that just annoy me. Good thing there are so many trees here. They help with ricocheting." Ken released another few pebbles from his hand, all hitting the same spot no matter how Zion turned. Everyone watched in amusement as he even tried hiding behind a rock.

"I give! I'll stop." The onslaught ended as soon as he said it. He rubbed the back of his head while everyone continued walking again.

Kir was now in the very back while Mudkip walked with Omnivee, Toxeon, and Gardevoir. The Pokemon were talking quickly, but not to where the others would hear. The little girl watched them without really realizing how far back she had fallen. She was even behind Ken and Sara, who were still holding hands as she said she was helping "guide" him. Her mind started to wonder as she fell even further behind.

"Mudkip did great in our gym battle. He responded perfectly, but I wasn't so good with Princess. I should do some training with her and Pichu tonight. Maybe I can find a new partner as well. The next gym will be tougher. Maybe I should help Princess another way." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a Fire Stone that she had found back at the mansion when Raz and Kira were away. Sara saw her with it that day and told her to keep it.

"I can't do it unless she wants to. It wouldn't be right otherwise, but what if we can't win without her evolving? Maybe that would show that Roxanne was right about me and that I really shouldn't be a trainer. I wonder if Pichu could even fight in any way. He only shocks himself now." Her mind continued questioning her abilities as a trainer and her Pokemon. In the process, the sun started dropping as the time passed quickly. She still didn't notice that she was alone. It wasn't until she heard a voice.

"He- m- plea-" It sounded as if it was a great distance away, and Kir couldn't make out all the words. She stopped instantly and listened closer as they came again with more clarity. "Help me pleas-"

Without really thinking, she started walking off the path toward the voice. It continued to call out as she got closer to a mountain range that was nearby. She continued until it faded slightly, causing her to turn back to where the voice was the loudest.

"Where are you?" Her voice cried out as loud as it could, but there was no change in the voice in her head. She stood still as her ears made her think it was coming from below her. As soon as she realized this, the ground broke beneath her, causing her to fall into a deep dark hole. Her cry called out over the trees as she fell. Raz and the others turned quickly as they heard a cry in the distance.

A/N: Whoa. Where am I going with this? Hopefully I brought back some of the funny that I felt has been a little missing. As I'm still deciding things for later in the story though, I have hit a problem. I have a few Eevee forms in mind and want everyones help to decide the best one. I have the forms for Raz and Kir's Eevee, but a future Eevee is still undecided. Here are the choices names and types.

Chromeon (Chrome-eon) : Steel

Bureon (Bur-eon) : Ground

Kaneon (Kane-eon) : Flying

Normally I would ask for other suggestions, but no one but me knows what Raz and Kir are getting, so these are the only actual options. I thak you for your opinions, and as always, thanks for reviewing. See ya later.
