Eevee's Decision.
"Hi Rina. Remember me?" Rina and Sky were at the Pokemon Centre in Floaroma Town, and had been approached by a man with a white lab coat on. Rina stared at him briefly then smiled.
"Yeah, you were at Professor Rowan's lab when I started my journey."
"Correct, I have been sent by Prof. Rowan to find you. He wants me to show you this." He took out a blue book that had "Evolutions" written on the front in black letters. Rina and Sky watched curiously as he turned to a certain page. On the page was a picture of an Eevee, followed by all of its evolutions.
"Professor Rowan was wondering about your two Eevee. He is worried you will struggle with two of them, because they are fairly weak. He wants me to assist you with the evolutions." Rina looked carefully at the different evolutions. She hadn't really thought much about it recently, but it was true that her Eevee weren't as strong as the other Pokemon, and couldn't really win any battles.
"Well I suppose my male Eevee should evolve first, since he is stronger, and I haven't trained my female one much." Rina said this as she released the male Eevee, who smiled up at her. Rina picked up the little fox and showed it the book.
"Now Eevee, when you evolve you'll get so much stronger, and will be able to fight in battles properly. The thing is, I want you to decide what you want to evolve into." Eevee looked at the pictures carefully.
"If you chose Vaporeon, Flareon or Jolteon, I have the stones needed here. Of course we're not saying you should evolve him now because we say so. We can provide you with the information or the stones needed, so he could evolve whenever." The assistant explained, not wanting Rina to feel pressured.
"If you wanted an Espeon, you would have to battle during the day and with Umbreon at night. Leafeon and Glaceon need to level up in front of mysterious rocks that are located in Sinnoh." The assistant carried on, as everyone waited for Eevee to decide.
Eevee kept its eyes on one certain picture, and took a liking to it. It said its name and pointed with its paw to the picture.
"Ah, you want to be a Flareon huh?" Rina asked with a smile. She had always wanted a fire type, and Flareon was certainly cute. Eevee nodded as it confirmed it.
The assistant felt around in his pocket and pulled out a red stone with an orange fire mark on it. He handed it to Rina, who discovered it had a warm feel to it. The stone was surprisingly smooth and nice to touch.
"That's a fire stone, when Eevee touches it with its paw, it will evolve."
As Rina was about to ask Eevee when it wanted to evolve, Eevee nudged the fire stone out of her grasp with its nose, making it drop on the floor. Eevee then jumped out of Rina's arms and stepped towards the stone.
"Eevee, you want to evolve now don't you?" Rina didn't get a nod or anything, as Eevee then placed its paw on the stone. Eevee became engulfed in a bright light, and its body began to change. Rina, Sky, Sparky and the assistant watched in awe at the transformation. His tail grew bigger, as did his ears and most of his body. When the light faded, an orange and red Flareon stood before them. His bandana was still around his neck, and it fitted perfectly now. Flareon grinned as it admired its body.
"He should be able to use Flamethrower very soon. I will tell Prof. Rowan the good news. Good luck on the rest of your journey."
"Thank you for everything, and tell Prof. Rowan I said thank you. Bye." Rina and Sky waved at the assistant as he left the Pokemon Centre.
"Wow Rina, two evolutions. Staravia and Flareon will be a big help to you against the next gym." Sky smiled at Sparky who was now standing next to Flareon, admiring him.
"I know. I'm extra excited now! Come on, let's go! I want to win my next badge." Rina grinned. She recalled Flareon and clipped the Pokeball back on her belt. Sparky made her self comfortable on Rina's shoulder, and they left the Pokemon Centre, heading for their next destination: Eterna City.
* * * *
"A double battle huh? Sounds interesting. Alright, we're in."
After leaving Floaroma town, and travelling to Eterna City for a day, they were soon reaching their destination, but were stopped in their tracks as two identical twins asked for a double battle. They had short brown hair and were both wearing red shorts and a black tank top, with white trainers. They were around twelve but had baby faces, so they could be mistaken for a younger age. A double battle would be all four girls using one Pokemon each.
The twins introduced themselves as Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby was slightly shorter than Sapphire, and had pinker cheeks. Ruby threw a Great ball which her Pokemon came out of. It was a huge steel snake, with a big head and a big grin; also known as Steelix. Sapphire also pulled out a Great ball, and her Pokemon was a Starmie. It was shaped like a star and it was purpley-blue with a red gem in the middle. It had no eyes so Rina was kind of confused at how it could see.
"A steel type huh? Perfect to try out Flareon's fire moves. Flareon, you're up!" Rina tossed her red and white Pokeball and Flareon materialised. Flareon growled at Starmie, probably knowing it was a water type. Rina glanced over at Sky, who appeared to be struggling to choose her Pokemon.
"Sky, relax. It doesn't matter if we lose. Just have fun." Rina reassured her with a smile. It was easy to see the panic and worry on Sky's face. She didn't participate in battles that much, and didn't want Rina to see her as a weak person.
Sky nodded and returned the smile as she took out a Pokeball and tossed it. "Misdreavus go." Misdreavus floated around staring its opponents down. With all four Pokemon in place, the intense battle begun.
"Steelix, use crunch on Flareon!" Steelix roared as it made its way over to Flareon, baring its teeth.
"Flareon use Quick Attack to dodge, and then strike Starmie." Flareon moved to the side using Quick Attack, making Steelix crunch on thin air where Flareon was once standing. Flareon then darted towards Starmie striking it and making Starmie stagger back.
"Misdreavus use Psywave on Steelix." Sky decided to get involved in the battle, but she still was uneasy. She never really had battled properly recently. Misdreavus let off a beam from its eyes which hit Steelix on its face. Steelix also staggered back, but both Steelix and Starmie got right back up.
"Starmie use Hydro Pump on Flareon, make it hurt!" Starmie released a blast of water at Flareon who stood still, not sure what to do. As the water edged closer Misdreavus floated in front of Flareon as if it was going to protect him.
"Misdreavus use Thunderbolt and break down that water!" Misdreavus' Thunderbolt tore through the water, stopping the attack all together.
"Hey thanks Sky!" Rina gave a thumbs up to Sky, who grinned in return. While they were distracted Steelix managed to slam Misdreavus with an Iron Tail. Sky cried out for it to get back up, which it did.
"Flareon, I think now's the time to see how powerful your Flamethrower is. Apparently you can use it, so go! Use Flamethrower on Steelix." Flareon opened its mouth and shot flames at Steelix, which fortunately hit it straight in its face. Steelix was severely hurt, and took some time to get back up.
"Misdreavus use Thunderbolt on Starmie." Misdreavus used Thunderbolt which hit Starmie with a lot of effect. Starmie's red gem started glowing on and off showing it was getting weak.
"Steelix use Dig on Flareon." Steelix dug underground and burrowed towards where Flareon was. Flareon and Rina looked around desperately, trying to figure a way out. It was too late however, as Steelix came up above Flareon, throwing him in the air. Flareon landed on its stomach with a thud. Meanwhile Starmie had used Hydro Pump on Misdreavus, pushing it back with force.
"Get back up!"
"You can do it!"
Rina and Sky pleaded with their Pokemon to get up. Flareon shakily stood up and used Quick Attack on Starmie without Rina's command. Starmie fainted and was recalled back to its ball by Sapphire, who then wished her twin luck. Misdreavus saw the determination on Flareon's face and got back up too. Steelix was still standing but was looking less worn out compared to Flareon and Misdreavus.
"Misdreavus lets use Psywave." Misdreavus' Psywave hit Steelix on its snake-like body. Steelix closed its eyes and took the attack. Steelix wasn't backing down easily as Misdreavus kept up its attack. Noticing Sky needed help, Rina ordered Flareon to use Flamethrower. Flareon's Flamethrower hit Steelix on the same point of its body as the Psywave. Steelix roared in pain as it collapsed with a large thud. Flareon and Misdreavus grinned at their win as they were thanked for their hard work and determination.
Ruby sadly recalled her Steelix to its ball and she and Sapphire then approached Sky and Rina. By then Rina and Sky had also recalled their Pokemon and shook hands with the twins.
They parted ways, vowing to battle again if they ever saw each other. Rina, Sky and Sparky then carried on towards Eterna City happy with their victory. Sky was especially happy since she hadn't won a proper battle in a while.
A/N: Woo! Updatee! Okay so, the Pokemon on Rina's team are based on my Platinum team. I think it's about time an Eevee evolved, don't you? I think my writing is getting better, what do you think?
So, sorry for the wait but I promise after the gym battle (next chapter) there will be a few VERY exciting chapters, so bare with me and my short chapters, please?
Review's are nice, criticism is also accepted :D
PP.
