Chapter 10

When Aqua woke up, Pier was looking at her, his tail swinging slightly and a big smile was on his face. "Mademoiselle Aquamarine!" He happily said "What are you doing back here?" He looked side to side "And where is monsieur Lucan?"

How long was he there? Oh well... "Lucan's not here...I … ran away"

Pier's eyes went wide then he narrowed them "Your... alone?"

"Yes"

The Delcatty narrowed his eyes then turned around "come with me" and he bounded away.

At first Aqua hesitated, but she then followed him, carefully. OMA! She had this strange tingly sensation on her hindquarters and she started to walk with more pressure on her front paws. Until she saw Pier, sniffing the air. Why was he doing that? It seemed like the aroma was... soothing him...? The vaporeon sniffed herself. Was it her that he was smelling?

He was in front of the door that was not on the ground. Aqua was confused.

"Why are we here?" She asked the Delcatty

"Oh... Um... I want to show you eh something, behind this door." He then called out "Ralph!"

A male Ralts came floating out the door. He had a strange liquid all over him.

"Yes father..." He sniffed the air and did a flip. Aqua flinched. What were they smelling?

"I need you to show Aqua here to her new room" Aqua? He only calls her... wait... were did the accent go? She flinched as she was lifted up and her paws were suddenly in clear hand cuffs.

"Should I do this one? Ralph asked

"No... This one is very deep in heat. She's mine."

Aqua shuttered " Pier! Wha- What are you doing! I trusted you!"

"Oh Aqua, do you really think that I will just let your heat pass? That is so unlike me." Aqua kept on screaming as Ralph used psychic to take her over the door.

Lucan shivered. He felt as if something bad was happening but he didn't know what. The only thing he could think about was Aqua. He really wanted to be with her. But then again, they need to get moving soon... Another piece of his mind thought about what that girl wanted with Zeon.

(-Lucan-)

"?" It was a voice he never hard before. It came almost as a whisper

(-Keep Jezebel away from Vernent, or she will get killed-).

"What? Killed? How?"

(-He will kill her, keep them apart...-) the voice hissed away.

His ears pricked up. Jezebel never hung out with that nuisance... did she? He heard giggling... and turned his head to see the two happily talking together. He sprang up. "Jezebel!" He called.

The glaceon looked towards him, gave Vernent a swift lick then padded towards him.

"Yes big brother?" She said, putting her tail neatly over her paws

He couldn't tell her what the voice said, she'll be scared out of her paws. " I want you to help Sol and Dustin gather berries, can you do that?"

Her eyes lit up and she shock her head vigorously "Yes! Yes! Yes! I was really bored not doing anything!" She jumped up and skipped to were Dustin and Sol where getting ready to leave.

Vernent stood up and Lucan narrowed his eyes. The leafeon's tail twitched and he walked farther into the trees.

"Help me!" Aqua wailed in her prison. How could Pier do this to her! So that was why he acted so strangely. He knew she was in heat!... as she thought of it more she wanted to literally claw his little stupid ass face off! So Sol wasn't crazy after all for warning her about danger. It was that little lying cat that was crazy! She should haven't left Lucan. Why did she not see all the signs! She started sobbing and didn't notice when Pier slipped into her cage.

"Aqua?"

"FUCK YOU! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTERED!" She hissed

"Aqua... I'm sorry...It's just that your in heat and..."

"!"

"I just..."

"Get away from me!"

When Zeon came back, he was tired. Also, his tongue was blue. It was night so he had to hide his jewel with a leaf.

"ZEON! Were have you been!"

He whisked around to see a mad umbreon, eyes blazing angry.

"Zeon! Do you know how long I have been looking for you!"

The eevee flinched. "sorry Luna..."

"... come on... at least your safe...I'm just worried about Lucan... he's acting weird..." Luna started walking to the camp.

Zeon followed her. "What's he doing?"

"Well... he's..." she shock her head "I don't think your old enough for me to tell you"

"That's not fair, no ones telling me anything..." he murmured(well... besides Dustin) he silently added to his self.

"Do you wanna sleep here?" Zeon looked up. There was a tiny pond of water, a small stream was connected to it. It maybe led to the ocean. He flinched. The ocean was were his mother drowned in, and his father slaughtered. Luna saw this and gentility pressed against him. She has seen what happened that day as well and she knew better than him that he was afraid of the ocean.

"You know, to get to Sinnoh, we need to go on a boat, right"

Zeon nodded his head slowly. What does this mean, of course he knew they had to take a boat...

"Across the ocean"

"T-t-t-the OCEAN!" His little brown eyes flooded with horror and he opened his mouth to protest.

"What happened to your tongue!"

Zeon closed his mouth quickly, remembering what him and Fire-crystal was doing before.

"Zeon. What are you not telling me?"

"nothin..." He stood up and trotted to the water edge. Determined to wash it out.

"Zeon, why are you not telling me..."

"Because I'm freezing"

"And why are you freezing."

What was with all these questions? "We ate ice cream... It's cold" Zeon finally admitted.

"We?"

"I-I- mean me... I... ate ice cream..." Zeon knows its not right to not tell Luna about Fire-crystal but when he started to play with Sweetie, Luna was gushing about how they would make good mates, blech! Him and Sweetie! Never! They are just friends!

Luna looked crossed. It never occurred to him that she maybe thinking how he got the ice cream in the first place. Zeon yawned and Luna sighed.

"Sorry Luna... I can't tell you... Its uh... pirate..."(NA:He is trying to say private)

"..."Luna nodded. She looked sad... Zeon didn't like to see her sad so he went towards her and rubbed his muzzle against her midnight black fur. Midnight... his mother's name... he wished she was still alive... as he thought about this, he drifted to sleep.

Aqua woke up with Pier next to her. She was covered in sticky stuff. Her heat was satisfied. She never knew that was how they satisfy it. She moaned and got up, trotting to a pool filled with water. She drank some, then carefully stepped inside it. Pier was a great lover... maybe she didn't need Lucan after all...she could stay, and raise her child here... with her mate... what she gave him was special and she wanted to raise her child with his or her father She didn't feel the same way she did with him than when she was with Lucan but... well... It's complicated...

After cleaning herself she went to the sleeping delcatty and tapped on him. He immediately woke up.

"Morning sweetie" she smiled. The delcatty replied with a yawn. He stretched and flicked his tail towards her. "Well... I know you don't know how you'll do any work... so you will stay here until you give birth, then leave my house"

"What? Pier? Wh-What are you saying?" Aqua stood up, but had a cramp in her stomach and laid back down, stiffly. Pier put a paw on her head and pressed down on it. It hurt her and she started to whimper.

"Well, I know your father" He smiled "And I also know you are the air of your father's fortune." Aqua flinched. Pier felt this through his paw, and unsheathed it. "You better feel ashamed of yourself. Leaving him and your sister! You know, because of you, she had to evolve into a flareon. Right ?"

Aqua shuttered. The only one to evolve in there family was suppose to be the oldest. Blood was now seeping through the wound he was making on her head and tears streamed on her face "P-Pier...Why?"

"Because you already disgraced your family. I am going to make MY SON a better Pokemon than you will ever be!" He sheathed his claws and took his paw off of her head. He then somehow got trough the bars of the prison and walked away.

"... Lucan... don't you see... I gave up everything for you..."

Flashback

"You stubborn, stupid child! Do as your told! Just for once!" A jolteon snapped stepping with one paw forward.

"Y-Yes daddy..." A young vaporeon bowed her head, a blue jemed necklace bouncing on her neck.

"You, in under any circumstance, WILL LISTEN TO ME!"

"Y-Yes daddy..."

"Tell your primplup friend that you are not to be his mate! You are a pure bred eeveelution that has high respect through out the Sinnoh region. Now. You will marry a pure bred, first generation flareon! And your son or daughter will evolve into a jolteon! YOU HERE ME!"

The vaporeon let a low growl. She always envied espeon. She would have evolved into one if her father didn't stay strict to the family traditions.

"What! B-but Aquamarine...why..." The prinplup stammered when he heard.

"I'm so sorry Steam...I have to listen to my father..."

Steam gave Aquamarine a stern look. Then nodded. Before he left, Aquamarine kissed him. "Please forgive me... my father is the only one I can trust now..."the girl muttered. He started to run and she never saw him again.

From then on, Aquamarine's dad taught her how to be a prissy lady. Mostly, he spoiled her, just to make sure she didn't leave. Until one day.

"AHHHHH!" Aquamarine screamed she felt like she couldn't breathe! Dirt was on her paws! She screamed again, louder than the outer one.

"R you okay?"

That was the first time she saw him. His muscles rippled, complementing his red-orange fur. His yellow mane made him look like a god. But he looked like her age. She stared at him with a blank expression and then spat "WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME IF I AM OKAY! I have a thick layer of stinky DIRT on my paw!" She held it up to him "Clean it peasant"

"clean it yourself" He calmly said back. Clean it herself?! Does he know who she was! She was about to protest when he muttered "Okay, she must be one of dose rich eevee evolutions..." Who was he talking to? Crazy flareon.

"If this dirt cant get off of me, I'm gonna die! Really!"

"Your a water type, aren't you?Or re ya a crazy morphing ditto dat hates to get wet"

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you even have a sense of humor? Dang, it was just a joke." He turned to trot away

"Don't you run away from me! You stupid Pokemon!"

"use bubble on it or somethin, that washes it right off" He smiled and Aquamarine flinched. He then sped away.

"...stupid flareon..." She held up her dirty paw and blew a small bubble. It landed on her paw and it got sparkling clean! "... it's like he's mocking me..." and she strode away.

The next time she saw him, he was eating a dead bird! Ew!

"What are you doing!" she said in horror

"Huntin"He mumbled in a mouth full of starly.

"Your eating another Pokemon!"

"And other Pokemon eat me"

This was the first time she noticed that he was wearing a saddlebag. It was an oval shape and was on the side of his body. "What's that" she said, pointing to the bag

"Starly"

"Not what your eating! What is in your bag"

"Ma sista"

"what?"

"She's in da egg"

"How could she stay in an egg?"

"Don' no. Wen my ma was livin, she says she hatches out a it"

"Are you illiterate or something? I did not understand a word you said"

"ill-liter-at?" He seemed 100% confused but then he suddenly said "My name's Lucan"

Aquamarine looked at him. He seemed naïve. How could he take care of that egg? "My name is Aquamarine"

"Blue?"

"No Aqua Marine"

"Blue-green?"

Aquamarine sighed "You can just call me Aqua"

"Aqua... Aqua!" His face lit up "I like dat name! It Fancy!"

"My new baby sister's name is Amber-crimson... is that fancy?"

"Eh. Not Fancy." His yellow tail swished side to side as he licked his lips, done with his meal.

"..." Aquamarine, for the first time in her life, felt sorry for a Pokemon. It looked like he didn't know anything about the world. You can tell by the way he talked. "If you want to, I can teach you how to talk properly..."

"Wha?"

"Uh... I teach u ow 2 talk good"

"Oh!" His bushy tail wagged harder " Eye didn't ya says so?"

For the next few weeks, Aqua taught him how to speak properly and the different kind of berries. The egg didn't hatch.

"Hey! Aqua! I found a bush full of Oren berries" he said, skipping with his bag bouncing up and down. On the path back to Aqua's mansion.

"You should be proud of yourself" Aqua smiled. She felt good. She felt better when she helped another Pokemon. Maybe that was what she should do. Help. To see a shine in ones eye when their filled with praise. To-

"AQUAMARINE!" The two Pokemon stopped in their tracks and turned back to see Aqua's dad, blazing angry. "Aquamarine what are you doing with this waste of fluff"

"Helping him father."

His eyes blazed in anger.

"It's true sir" Lucan spoke up, bravely. "She has been helping me."

"Tell me son, who was your mother and father?" His tone was harsh. But Lucan didn't flinch, he just stared curiously at the jolteon.

His ear twitched. "My mother was a Jolteon and my father was a glaceon...sir..."

"Bangladesh!"

This made Lucan flinch.

"Come on Aquamarine, we are leaving. You are not to see this rapscallion anymore!"

"But why daddy? I want to help him"

"You have forgotten my teachings, and helped this thing. Now you will come with me!"

"B-but daddy-

"Don't worry sir. I was gonna leave anyways..."

The two stared at the flareon. One with sadness, the outer with hatred. He replied with a lick on his paw. "I am a traveler. So staying in one place for more than a month is unusual for me...If you want to know, I lied about my father being a glaceon. I was born in Kanto, and my father was a vaporeon. Humph. I can see that you only care about eeveelution of your stature, so I'll leave immediately" he smiled at Aqua and then bounded away.

"Bye..." she muttered, loud enough for her father to here. He slapped her. Hard.

"What are you doing with him."

"Helpin-"

"DONT SAY THAT WORD!" He spat "NOW I HAVE TO TEACH YOU, AGAIN! AND WHATS THAT ON YOUR PAWS"

"Oh, dirt"

He gave her a killing look and turned around. "wash that shit off and get back in the house"

Aqua nodded and blew a bubble. It made her paws sparkling clean!

"..."

For the next year, he re-taught her with her eevee sister how to be snobby and proper and this time, he didn't allow them to go out on their own. They were the meanest Pokemon in the forest... Aqua regrets that time...she wonders how her sister is doing...

She sighed. She was cold and alone in the prison. Her family was in Sinnoh and she was in Hoenn… "Lucan... I love you... I'm sorry"
