Ash asked no questions. He threw a poke ball and yelled, "Turtwig, come out and use razor leaf on the net!" Turtwig came out and did as he was told. The net broke completely. Diamond came out and ran to Ash. Commander Mars started to laugh. She jumped down and pulled something out of the net. Diamond's soothe bell. Diamond frantically looked around her neck. "Give it back!" Ash yelled. Commander Mars jumped back onto the robot and said, "Nah. I think I'll watch the show." Ash looked confused. He looked at Diamond who was bent over, arms dangling over. Ash nervously put a hand towards her and asked, "Diamond, are you ok?"
Diamond started to laugh, evilly. She turned around to look at Ash. Ash looked into her eyes. His eyes widened. Her eyes were blood red. "Diamond?" Ash asked. Diamond then turned into an Umbreon. Diamond said, "Hello, Ash." This couldn't have been Diamond. Ash thought this. The voice coming from her sounded cold and heartless. Diamond said, "Blood. Give me blood!" Ash returned Turtwig and picked up Jake and Pikachu. Ash asked, "Are you the evil Umbreon?" Diamond said, "You tell me!" She then started to run towards them, baring her teeth. Ash turned around and started to run. He got back to the Pokemon Center to see Dawn and Brock outside. "Ash, where's Diamond?" Dawn asked. Ash didn't stop running. He ran past them and yelled, "Run! Diamond's soothe bell came off! Come on!" Dawn and Brock looked back. They saw an Umbreon running towards them, teeth showing.
They asked no questions. They started to run with Ash. They ran behind a boulder to rest. Ash said, "We have to go back and get her bell." Dawn and Brock nodded. Then, Diamond and jumped right in front of them. They turned around and headed back to the woods. They got to the place where Team Galactic was. Dawn and Brock got behind Ash. Diamond had finally caught up with them. Pikachu and Jake jumped out of Ash's hands. Pikachu's cheek made sparks, while Jake just stared at Diamond. "Pikachu, use-" Ash started to say, when Jake barked at him.
Jake stepped forward. Diamond then started to use quick attack. Jake sat there. Before the Umbreon even got close enough to Jake she stopped. "No. No. I won't hurt Jake," Ash heard Diamond say. It was her normal voice. Why is she….That's it! Ash thought. "Diamond!" Ash yelled. Diamond looked at Ash, tears in her eyes. Ash yelled, "You love Jake. That's how you can resist. Come on, Diamond, snap out of it" Diamond then snickered. "Nice try," said the cold voice, "Fine. Since you won't hurt Jake, we'll hurt Ash." The Umbreon transformed into Diamond's human form. Ash knew she was still evil, for her eyes were still red and her teeth were still sharp.
She started to run towards Ash. He stood his ground. "Ash, move!" Dawn yelled. Brock yelled, "Get out of the way!" Diamond finally reached him. She dug her teeth into Ash's left arm. Ash winced at the pain, but didn't move. He used his right hand to move her face towards his. Blood was in her teeth. He didn't care. Jake had snuck off and was no where to be seen. He knew what he was doing. Ash then looked into Diamond's eyes, which had tears in them. He then kissed Diamond on the lips. She tried to move. Ash took his lips off of her and said, "I love you, Diamond!" Diamond put her hands on her head and yelled, "No! Must stay for the blood!" Diamond started to yell in pain. Her arms then dropped to her side. Her eyes turned brown. She started to fall. Ash ran and picked her up with his right hand. Jake came back with her soothe bell, and came back looking like an Umbreon. Ash looked up to see Team Galactic gone.
An hour had passed. Brock wrapped up Ash's wound. Ash looked at Diamond. She started to wake up. She looked at Ash. She hugged him and told him sorry. They all fell asleep. Tomorrow they would battle the gym leader.
