Chapter 10

Zack eventually made it to Geosenge Town that night despite her sore ankle. She had Azar help her out. He was good to walk with. He stayed right with her and didn't go too fast. She questioned that she could have used Prometheus's Confusion, but she needed to work it out and not baby it. Just like with Echo…she sorely reminded herself of that. Now she had to add that Echo wasn't the only one. Pax had her fault, but at least it wasn't battling. Pax wouldn't go back inside her ball. Zack couldn't understand why. Pax didn't say she didn't like it when Zack asked. When Zack attempted to return her she'd move out of the way and cry out happily. Zack couldn't seem to understand why.

"Evvui!" Pax cried as she ran out of the center that next morning with her trainer slowly trailing behind her.

"Pax, wait!" Zack called.

"Eevee?" Pax stopped and turned around looking at her trainer.

"If you're not going to stay inside your ball, at least stay by me so I know where you are." Zack explained.

"Ee?"

"I just want to…"

"Hey Zack!" a voice shouted interrupting Zack from her conversation with her Pokemon.

"Hi Tierno." Zack said kind of disappointed that he interrupted her conversation with Pax.

"So have you heard about the cave near here to Shalour City? It's called Reflection Cave and it's like a bunch of mirrors. I'd love to check out and see what my moves look like." Tierno told her.

"Is that all?" Zack asked as she raised an eyebrow. She might not have known or talked to him much, but she could tell something was up.

"Yeah. There are ton of wild Pokemon and I'm not good at battling. I was wondering if you wanted to go through together and maybe give me some tips. Anything can help!" Tierno asked.

Zack thought about it. She kind of wanted to stay no. Not because she didn't want to go with him, but she already had to watch out of Pax. She didn't want to look out for the both of them. Plus she didn't want to be a hold up. Tierno would probably rather look around while Zack would go right on through. But, she needed to expand and Tierno appeared to want to learn how to be better at battling in order to help himself.

"Sure. Why not?" Zack answered.

"Awesome!" Tierno shouted and spun around. "This is going to be awesome! I heard there are some cool Pokemon in there and maybe even a legendary Pokemon."

"That sounds cool!" Zack announced interested in going through.

"Yeah, however, no one has really seen it. If we see it than this will be my first one!" Tierno revealed. She had never really seen a legendary Pokemon before either. When she spent time at the Pokemon Village she heard rumors about one living in the area, but never wanted to see if it was true. She knew it would have been dangerous and she didn't want to put her friends in any danger. The rumor also said it was a psychic type and those were dangerous to begin with. However, it did remind her of a time when she was much younger and was playing at the village.

She was playing with Furfrou by the water and they were attacked by a pack of Basculin. She thought she was going to get attacked and closed her eyes, but opened them to find they were fine. The aggressive water types disappeared and were swimming away scared. She didn't understand, but she saw something fly away. She thought it was just the old Noctowl that lived in the trees, but the old bird couldn't have done it. It didn't make sense. He never left his tree and as far as she knew no other Pokemon there could use Psychic or whatever was uses. Plus, the figure that flew away didn't look like a bird.

"Same." Zack replied. "What do you say we get going?"

"Sure!"

"Eevee!" Pax cried not to be forgotten about.

"Oh! You caught an Eevee! That's awesome and she's adorable!" Tierno said seeing the normal type.

"Yeah. She's a handful."

"Ee." Eevee said like she offended. Zack shrugged and smiled at her partner. Pax gave Zack a pouty face and followed along.

The cave was beautiful. Tierno was right about the mirrors. Zack couldn't help but think about what this all meant. All the mirrors could mean different possibilities. Zacks swore she could see those different possibilities in them. Not just for her. Everyone, her friends, and even her Pokemon.

Tierno dancing his heart out for others to see them smile.

Shauna finding what she wants to do.

Trevor seeing all the Pokemon in the Pokédex.

Serena and Calem. Well, Zack didn't know, but they seemed to be wanting to become powerful and respected trainers. She put it on her to do list to attempt to hang out with them more in order to get to know them better.

Azar…her partner. He wanted to grow strong and he would. She imagined a reflection of him that was a powerful Charizard. Flying high and spitting fire.

Prometheus…her first partner. He would find what he wanted. Right now Zack could see he was content being with her and the rest of them.

Echo…her…baby. She pictured him growing up and becoming a Pokemon that was strong, yet had that gentleness he had. He was young and had much to learn and different paths he could go.

Pax...her newest partner and well, unknown. She couldn't wait to see how Pax would reflect. Right now, she was being a pain by not going inside her ball. She knew this Pax being herself and she couldn't wait to see what she evolved into.

"Zack?"

"Huh?"

"I asked if you wanted to stop for lunch. I know that's it is in the middle of a cave, but why not?"

"Sure."

They found a nice clearing and sat down. They both prepared lunch for their Pokemon and themselves. They each got to see what kind of Pokemon the other one had. Tierno had Wartortle, Fletchinder, Roselia, and Honedge. He caught three and his starter had evolved. All his Pokemon were dancer like their trainer and new moves like dancing. Wartortle was excellent with his Rapid Spin, Fletchinder was graceful in the air, Roselia was like a ballerina, and Honedge was fierce with sharp movements. While Zack helped prepare lunch she couldn't help at smile by just watching them. They brought happiness and Zack smiled seeing Pax enjoying their training or more like show.

"Smells great!" Tierno said.

"That's just for the Pokemon." Zack told him.

"Really? How'd you how to do that?" Tierno asked.

"I spent a lot of time in the Pokemon Village and with the Pokemon there. I learned what they liked and how to make different types of foods with what I had around."

"That's amazing. You're really great with Pokemon." Tierno said in awe.

"They're all I've ever known. I'd do anything for them." Zack said as she just stared off.

"Woo!"

Both trainers' heads snapped up looking around. The sounds of a Pokemon echoed through the cave. From the sounds there was more than one. Another sound than added to mix of cries, wings. They looked ahead and saw a group of Woobat coming toward them. They swooped down and attacked the group and grabbed the food that was already out.

"Wartortle use Water Gun!" Tierno cried.

"Tortle!" Watortle cried as he fired his attack at the bat-like Pokemon.

"Pax Swift!" Zack cried in order to get most of them.

"Vee!" Pax cried attacking with her Swift attack.

"Bat!" a Woobat a little larger than the others cried. He was supposedly their leader. "Woobaaat!"

The leader Woobat attacked with Air Cutter while some of the other smaller ones attacked with Gust taking off the leader. Everyone braced themselves as the flying type moves blew pasted them. Zack was pushed by some of both moves and landed on the ground. She ended up hitting her hip against the ground which resulted in opening one of her Poké Balls. Out came little Echo.

"Tile?" he questioned looking around for Zack. He saw his trainer on the ground and another Pokemon going toward her with a physical attack that looked to be Heart Stamp. No one touched her. He needed to make sure she'd be okay to care for him. "Tile!"

Zack looked on in fear as Woobat came charging at her. She didn't know where Pax went and Tierno was being bombarded by the other Woobat. Out of nowhere came an electric type attack. Zack's eyes widened as she saw this attack take out the opposing Woobat. As far as she knew Pokemon here knowing an electric type move was rare. She turned and saw her Helioptile, Echo, was the one who fired the attack. The little normal and electric type then jumped in front of his trainer.

"Echo?"

"Tile!" Echo turned and smiled at his trainer. "Tile!" Echo then released another Thunder Shock that scared the Woobat. They looked concerned at each other before flying off in fear.

"Echo you did it!" Zack cried happily as she scooped up her Generator Pokemon and hugged him "You battle!"

"Tile?"

"Yup. You battle. Wasn't so bad and you did for me."

"Tile!" Echo cheered. He guessed battling wasn't so bad and it was fun to watch those Woobat run off after they got what was coming to them.

"Zack, you okay?" Tierno asked.

"Yeah, you?" Zack asked.

"Fine."

"Good. Pax, you okay?" Zack asked her partner. No answer. "Pax? Pax!"

"What's wrong Zack?" Tierno asked.

"Pax is missing. Pax!" Zack cried walking toward a dark path of the cave.

"Where are going?" Tierno cried out to her before she got too far.

"I need to find Pax. I won't leave until I've found her. Considering directions she was probably was blown away this way from the attacks."

"What if you get lost?" Tierno asked.

"I don't care. Pax means more to me than making it Shalour City or let alone anywhere. I won't leave until she's safely in my arms." Zack said turning around and walking down the darkened path.

"Then I'll go with you." Tierno said catching up.

"Thanks."

As they walked Zack thought about her lost Pokemon. Despite not having Pax long she cared about her so much. Pax was like a light to her group, not to mention the only girl. She was cheerful and playful…play. Zack sighed as she thought that. Play. Pax wanted to play and be outside with her trainer who she was getting used to having. That explained the laughing when the ball stream missed and running around. She needed Pax to hear this.

"Pax!" Zack called again.

"Vui?" she heard echo in the cavern.

"Is that who you're looking for?"

"Vee!"

"Pax!" Zack cried and rushed toward the sounds with her friend following behind her. As she reached the clearing Zack saw her Eevee with another Pokemon for the moment she paid no attention too. She ran to her Pokemon and Eevee jumped into her arms. Zack hugged her for life. "Don't scare me like that."

"Vee?"

"I understand now. You wanted to be with me and play, didn't you?" Zack asked.

"Vee." Eevee said as her eyes widened. Zack figured it out. It was hard to tell someone what you wanted when they couldn't really understand you. "Vee!" Pax cried as she cuddled into her.

"You mean so much and don't worry about anything. I'd never leave you. I'm just happy I found you."

"Vee." Pax sniffled as she began to tear up a little. She found a keeper.

"Zack, look." Tierno said pointing to the Pokemon ahead of them that apparently found Pax.

"I'm so happy you found each other." The Pokemon said.

Pokédex: Diancie, A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world. It can instantly create many diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands.

"A legendary Pokemon…" Tierno said in awe.

"Thank you for keeping her safe." Zack said to the Pokemon.

"I'm just happy that it all worked out and that I get to see such pure devotion. Please, take these. One for each of you." Diancie said as she pressed her hands together. A pink glow enveloped its hands before dying off. Diancie opened her hands to reveal three diamonds.

"I don't know what to say…" Zack said speechless other than saying that she was.

"You're so beautiful." Tierno said looking at the legendary Pokemon in front of him. He almost had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Hehe. Thank you. You're dancing was lovely as well and the wanting to help you friend."

"You...knew?" Tierno stuttered out. How? The Pokemon had been apparently been here the entire time.

"Yes. I see everything that goes on in here. That how I knew and told Eevee that her trainer would come for her despite she was scared. Eevee, take care of your trainer and I know she'll do the same. The love you all have is powerful and harder than any diamond I can make."

A bright light shone from Diancie's body and as it died the legendary Pokemon of jewels was gone. Zack guess she used a Dazzling Gleam to make an elegant escape. She looked at Pax and her eyes shone bright. She was fascinated by what happened. Zack petted her head and Pax looked up smiling.

"Here." Tierno said giving her two of the diamonds. One for her and the other was for Pax.

"Thanks. We'll never forget this."

"Not at all." Tierno said with a grin. He was glad he ran into Zack today. She made everything so much more interesting. Her love for her Pokemon was strong and almost unmatched from what he'd seen. Tierno knew he could learn from her. He already did today. He should form close bonds with them. They'd be a much tighter crew and more in sync if they were.

"I bet we can find a nice collar or something for this for you to wear." Zack told Pax as she put out so she could see it.

"Vee." Pax shook her head.

"No?" Zack asked confused. Why wouldn't Pax want it? It was hers, given to her by her new legendary fairy and rock type friend.

"Vee." Pax replied pushing her paw on Zack's hand so it went toward her.

"You want me to keep it?" Zack questioned.

"Vui!" Pax cried happily.

Zack sniffled not wanting to cry. It was so precious. Pax was giving her diamond as a gift. Zack didn't know that Pax wanted her to have to remember their bond. Pax wanted Zack to wear it around her neck so every time Pax looked at Zack she saw her devoted and caring training.

"I'll treasure it always because it's from you." Zack said nuzzling Pax.

"Vui!"

AN: I know! It was sappy, but moments with Pax are! Anyway, I hope you liked it and will come back for the next chapter. Please Review! See you later!
