Chapter 11

Ali and woke up the next morning to find Eevee sleeping so he decided to wake her up so they could get ready to go.

"Eevee, wake up," Ali muttered as she nudged her slightly.

As though on cue, Eevee stirred and opened her eyes to see Ali standing there, looking at her rather amused.

"Hi Ali," she said groggily.

"Do you remember what we were supposed to do today?" Ali asked, putting his hands behind his head.

"We are going to go to Great Canyon to ask Xatu about this, right?" Eevee said, leaping out of bed and stretching out a bit.

"Yup, so ready to go?" Ali asked.

"Yeah, but we should probably get some stuff so that we will have items when we get started," Eevee suggested and Ali nodded his agreement.

"Well, let's hurry, I gotta know why I turned into a Pokémon," Ali said as Eevee approached him with a small blush on her face.

"Ali, have you thought anymore about whether you want to stay a Pokémon or become a human once more?" Eevee asked.

"I can't make that decision because I remember nothing from my human life apart from my name and all I remember so far is my time with you," Ali said, crossing his arms.

"I see," Eevee said, looking slightly disappointed.

Ali noticed and hastily added, "If I get my memories back then I could tell you what I want," he added.

"Well, all the more reason to go," Eevee said as she and Ali ran out the door and headed to Pokémon square to buy the gear they needed.

"What exactly do we need?" Ali asked as they approached Kecleon Market.

"Just a few apples, and maybe a few throwing objects," she said.

"Throwing objects?" Ali said, looking confused.

"Oh I forgot that you never got to use them, or see them at all for that matter," Eevee said as she began explaining what they do and how they work in the dungeon.

"So basically, they could be considered as 'substitutes' for our moves?" Ali asked.

"Yeah, that's exactly it," Eevee said.

"So which one do you have in mind?" Ali asked as he looked at all of them.

"I personally prefer Iron Thorns," Eevee said, taking the thorns and apples and paying Kecleon for the items and left the shop.

"Eevee, what happened to your gear?" Ali asked, looking at her.

"Shoot, I left it in the room," she said, "Wait at the base," she added as she ran off to get her gear.

"Um…okay," Ali said slowly as he turned to go back to their base.

Ali sat outside of the base staring at the sky and simply admired his beauty when he heard footsteps.

"Ali, ready to go?" Eevee asked as she approached him.

"Yeah," he cheered and he got to his feet and they left the base to go to Great Canyon.

Great Canyon was a fairly straightforward dungeon to explore and therefore did not take much time to reach the Hill of the Ancients that Gallade was talking about before. On their way up, they found some treasure chests that they opened to find an more updated map of the area and a sack of money that they put into their bag and departed, keen on getting to the Hill of the Ancients and find the answers that they desperately seek.

"I can't believe that there was a more up to date map available," Eevee said, looking surprised as they approached the end of the dungeon.

"That was a lot easier than I thought it would be," Ali said, looking impressed at the time that they had consumed in traveling through the dungeon.

"Well, where is Xatu?" Eevee asked, looking around.

"There he is," Ali said and the duo ran up to him and he was staring at the sun.

"Isn't staring at the sun supposed to fry your eyes?" Ali asked, looking confused.

"I think so, but we gotta find a way to attract Xatu's attention," Eevee said, trying to think of something.

"I've got two ideas about how we can attract his attention," Ali said.

"Well, tell me," Eevee said, her curiosity attracted.

"We could tickle him, or we could tackle him," Ali suggested.

"I think I would go with the first one because it seems less violent to me," Eevee said as they approached the bird psychic type.

"Excuse me, you are Xatu, correct?" Ali asked but got no response.

"…" was all they got for an answer.

"Hello?" Ali said, moving in front of him waving a hand across his face still got nothing for a response.

"Maybe he doesn't hear us," Eevee said as she started nudging him in the side.

A few minutes later, Eevee gave up trying to attract his attention subtly and said, "It's useless, he can't hear us," she sighed.

"I don't know, maybe we should start tickling him," Ali suggested and Eevee nodded and started tickling him.

She was tickling him all over in hopes of finding his ticklish spot (if he has one) and forcing him into acknowledging their existence.

She kept trying, hoping that this would work but after a few minutes of tickling him, she gave up and moved back to Ali.

"It's useless, he won't respond," Eevee said hopefully.

"Well, I can't think…" Ali began but he heard laughter coming from Xatu as he burst out laughing from all the tickling that Eevee did.

"What the...?" Ali and Eevee said, looking surprised at what they had seen.

Xatu then let out a cry and startled Team Valor.

"Witness it…the sinking of the sun," Xatu said mysteriously.

"It's beautiful," Eevee said, looking at the sunset.

"Indeed, this place is very beautiful," Xatu said nodding in agreement.

"Wait, as much as I do like watching the sunsets, can we discuss the real reason that we are here?" Ali asked.

"Sorry Ali," Eevee said.

"You have figured out my identity, you are not of the ordinary sort," Xatu commented and Team Valor sweat dropped.

"It wasn't that hard to figure out who you…" Ali began but Xatu cut him off.

"You there," Xatu said, pointing at Ali.

"Who, me?" Ali asked, looking confused.

"Yes, you are not an ordinary Pokémon am I correct?" Xatu asked. "A human, correct?" he added.

This caught Ali and Eevee's attention as Xatu mentioned it.

"HUH? How can you tell that by looking at him?" Eevee asked, looking stunned at the inference.

"All day…I stare at the sun…unblinking," Xatu said.

"Isn't that supposed to ruin your eye sight?" Ali asked, frowning.

Xatu ignored him and continued with his explanation, "It gives me sight for all things be they the past, the present, or the future," Xatu explained.

"You can determine the past and the future by simply staring at the sun?" Eevee asked.

"Yes," he replied shortly turning to look at the pair.

"Well what does it tell you?" Ali asked.

"If you know anything about this, please just tell us," Eevee pleaded.

"Well I do know one thing for certain, you two would make a cute couple," he said, smiling slightly.

Ali sweat dropped and Eevee blushed when they heard those words.

"Now's not the time to be talking about the possibility of Ali and I being a couple," Eevee said blushing even more.

"I digress, anyway, this is Ali, he woke randomly woke up one day as a Pokémon and has no memories of his past as a human, nor how or why he turned into a Pokémon in the first place," Eevee explained and Xatu stared at them, giving his undivided attention and then looked back to the sun.

"The calamities of nature, they have been a lot recently, they are caused because the balance of the worlds have been upset," Xatu said grimly.

"But what does that have to do with Ali?" Eevee asked, looking thoroughly confused.

"I was getting to that," Xatu replied patiently and continued what he was saying, "Then there is you becoming a Pokémon," Xatu said, turning to Ali.

"So then…" Ali said, his voice trailing off.

"They are tied together, inseparably so," Xatu said.

"Are you saying that Ali becoming a Pokémon and the disasters are related in some way?" Eevee asked, hoping that all of this was false.

"What do you mean? What's Ali turning into a Pokémon have to do with the natural disasters?" Eevee demanded, looking somewhat angry at the explanation.

Again, Xatu did not give any answers to these questions.

"Why did you stop explaining?" Eevee said angrily.

"Eevee, you seem pretty interested in my past," Ali said slightly nervous because of that glare in her eyes.

"I want answers Ali," Eevee cried desperately.

"There are bigger concerns at the moment," Xatu said quietly and Team Valor gave Xatu their undivided attention.

"What kind of problems are we going to have to deal with here?" Ali asked.

"The world's balance, it must be restored," Xatu said, "Or the unthinkable will occur," he added.

"Huh? You gotta be kidding me!" Eevee exclaimed.

"But the world…the unthinkable is coming?" Eevee asked looking completely shocked.

"Everyday I see it, the same future befalling our world, I dread it, I keep hoping that it is false and there is some alternate future where we all live harmoniously," Xatu said grimly.

"Xa-Xatu," Eevee said.

"I fear it, the world's destruction," he said.

"The world's destruction?" Ali repeated.

"This is not happening, it can't be happening, it…can't," Eevee said hopelessly as she started to lose her balance and but Ali quickly caught her as to prevent her from falling.

A few feet away, Gengar was eavesdropping on Team Valor's conversation and had learned some new things that could possibly help him get revenge on Team Valor for what they did in that race.

"Keheh, well isn't that a surprise, that Ali is a human turned Pokémon, that's going to be useful! This should make things more interesting," Gengar said, laughing evilly as he left.

"What was that?" Ali asked, hearing Gengar's laugh.

"What are you talking about?" Eevee asked.

"I thought I heard someone laugh," Ali said, looking around.

"Must have been your imagination," Eevee said as she led the way back to the base.

"She's probably right," Ali muttered as he followed her back.

Eevee and Ali arrived at the base and started discussing what was going on with the world's balance.

"I still don't understand what I have to do with the world's balance being disrupted?" Ali said, looking confused.

"It's so vague and it makes no sense," Eevee said irritably.

"Looking into this won't make our lives any easier at the moment," Ali said as he turned to go to bed.

"Goodnight Ali," Eevee said.

"Goodnight Eevee," Ali replied and they both went to sleep.

Well what do you think? I'm not sure what to think so I'll just end it there and hope that some sort of inspiration will hit me like a brick.
