Well, thank Wolfie for this update.

"Hmm." said the trainer, looking at his pokedex. "That's an unknown move…"

"Wait, isn't that dangerous?" he said.
It was true, it was League advice to have any unknown moves deleted in case they were dangerous.

"Well, To Fuchsia." he said, almost to himself. Picking a pokeball from his belt, he opened it, revealing a Pidgeotto.

Jumping onto its back, they flew.

The pokeball opened.

Ellie tumbled onto a desk, disorientated, her fur tingling from the effects of the pokeball.

She took a moment to look around.
There was a man there, swinging a pendulum in front of her.

"Forget…" he whispered to her.

She didn't have a clue what he was doing.

Wait…

She'd been captured.

She immediately tried to change back.

But she couldn't.

She screamed, the noise coming out as a distraught "Vee!"

Not knowing what to do, the trainer returned her.
Inside the pokeball, she cried until unconsciousness overtook her.

"Was that right?" asked the trainer. "She seemed really upset… maybe she relied on it…"
"It could be dangerous, Nathan." said the move deleter. "It was the safe solution."
"Maybe… how can I make it up to her?"
"Be the best trainer you can be."

"Eevee, use Psychic!" called Nathan.
Ellie dodged out of the way of the Venomoth's attack, and fired an energy blast at it that knocked it out of the air.

The poisonous moth collapsed unconscious, and Janine surrendered the Soul badge.
Nathan scooped up his Eevee, giving her a hug.

She nuzzled against him.

It seemed she'd finally adapted.

"We can take two of your pokemon now!" said the daycare attendant.
"No, just the one." said Nathan with a smile. "I hope she might make a… friend while she's here."

The attendant winked.
"Good luck!" she said, taking Ellie the Eevee out to the back.

"Hello?" answered Nathan. "What do you mean she-Of course, I'll come right over."

* * *

"She destroyed one of the walls?" he said, appalled.
"From what our psychic can tell us," said the attendant. "A Luxray tried to mate with her and she threw him through a wall."

Nathan was shocked into silence for a moment.
"We think you should take her back now." she added.
Nathan nodded dumbly, picking up the sleeping pokemon.
"Ok, no breeding. Got it…" he muttered. "What can I do to make you happy?"

* * *

"I will never give up." muttered Verena. "I did once."
"And I yelled at you." said Jennifer.
"And you snapped me out of it. I promised Kieran and Leah that I'd protect her, and I'll never give up again." she said. "I'll find her."

LOT'S of timeskipping, I think. This arc will be quite short, you know.
