I've been in the Pokemon world for almost a month, trying to unlock these safes inside my head. After I stopped crying into Val's shoulder, she promised she'd get me berries. I nodded at her and wished her luck as she left the den. I laid down, still stifling the tears in my eyes slightly. Doing this I thought of everything that has happened to me already, well, in this world. I thought about the problems i'm in. My Eevee senses cannot be controlled, looking for a way to leave, trying everything, but to no avail. The love I have for Val will completely destroy me, and I know it. The Eevee senses will take over and the monster will be released when I least want it. Almost anything bad that happens to Val will trigger the Eevee senses, or what I call the 'Beast', inside me to protect her, no matter what would happen to me. Part of my human senses also want to do this, and I get that from the human world. The Eevee senses though has its own power, its own mind, its own ideals. I can't let anyone get hurt, by me. Even Val. That is why when we 'mate', if ever, I don't want to 'Beast' to hurt her. I nearly killed that Growlithe, I was close to death several times. On the other side, I kinda need those Eevee senses at times, they saved Val from that Growlithe. Something I couldn't do. In fact, compared to Val and the Eevee senses I was weak, worthless, and deserved to die. The Eevee senses are the only thing still keeping me alive, so… I had to master them, if I ever wanted to get home in one piece. I did have a piece of information about the Eevee senses, if I was hurt I would snap out of it, which is good, and bad altogether. I'm sure you know why.

"Jake!" my ears twitched at the sound of Val's voice, "I brought some berries," I slowly started standing up, the pain from that fight still hurt and I could barley even stand,

"T-thanks," I weakly stated, lowering into a sitting position in front of the berries,

"Here, some oran to ease the pain," I took the oran berries Val had passed to me and slowly ate them, feeling better from each bite. Then I stopped for a second, we had to get moving if I were to ever find a way home,

"Val," I weakly said, her eyes twinkled as her line of sight was on me, "Val, we need to get going tomorrow." she nodded at me, sighing afterwards, hoping i'd stay longer here. Probably sad that I still wished to go home. She thought I was a true mate of her, especially since we were getting close to, you know.

Later that day Val was cleaning the grassy lands around her den, I was still sitting by the lake, looking at the setting sun. I suddenly felt paw on my shoulder. I turned around to see Val sitting there looking at me. I looked back at the sunset as I hear her speak to me,

"J," she sighed, "tomorrow we are leaving the den, and I understand your problems." I just looked back at her, and re-sat myself looking at her, "Jake, I realize why you won't mate with me yet." I tilt my head at her confused, how would she know that? "You may not know this but, J. Us Vulpix can touch someone and listen to the thoughts they have. I know you don't want to me get hurt, or worse." I sighed looking at her. Great my friend is a mind-reader, ain't that swell. She chuckled looking at me, I guess she read that though too. "J, the Eevee senses inside of you, they will take over, but… J, can you master them sooner." I looked at her, as a blush grew on her face, "J, I love you, and no-matter what. I want to be with you." She hugged me, a little too tight, but I just sighed and returned the hug. She was probably still reading my thoughts, but I didn't care I do love her, a lot more than i'd admit, but… She was still a Pokemon. I couldn't break her heart, I knew I couldn't. It may be the only thing I can do though. She stopped hugging me and said, "Jake, I love you too," she kissed my forehead as she walked back into the den. I was sitting there, heart struck. She had said that before, but this time, it felt different. Like she had meant it another way. I looked at the sunset one last time as I walked into the den. I could see Val sleeping on her straw bed, so this one time. I laid next to her and nuzzled her cheek. As I was falling asleep I could see a smile on her face and she whispered,

"G'night Jake."

The next day I opened my eyes to the sound of running, I looked up to see a shadow running out of the house. I looked down next to me, Val is still sleeping. We've been robbed. I jump up and rush towards the door, then I hear Val yawn,

"J, is ever-" I didn't hear the rest as I was out of the den. Chasing the robber through the woods was tiring. God the bugger was fast, I had to slide under fallen logs and jump over rocks. Eventually I reached a field and looked around I saw a Nuzleaf breathing heavily, there was a bagish thing next to him. I ran at him, he noticed, but didn't have time to dodge the tackle I hit him with. He stood up and shot me a venomous glare, "Jake?" I hear Val call as she steps out from the woods behind me, "What are you doi-" she stops as she sees the Nuzleaf, "Leafz?" I look at her and back to the Nuzleaf.

"Wait you two know each other?" I asked keeping an eye on the Nuzleaf,

"Yeah, he is a worker for Umb and Bree," I look at him. Wait… Shit…

"Right on that!" I know that voice, I turn in time to see an Umbreon come out of the woods, "Good to see ya again kid…" I send my death stare at the Umbreon.

"You son of a b*tch!" I run right at him, he send me a stare as I stop inches from him, and i'm sent flying into Val. We both roll for a bit, then slide to a stop. I stand up and look to Val, "You ok?" she nods in return, standing easily. I look at Umbreon, well, where he was.

"Fight." I hear Val whisper as I duck from the Faint Attack. I look up to see Umbreon again and rush as him. He tries to use Psychic, not falling for that one, I use sand attack and he couldn't control me, if he couldn't see me. I dug down and appeared below him, hitting him up into the air, I see him land face-first as he looks up.

"Leafz, get Val." I turn to see the Nuzleaf grab Val and jump over to Umbreon, he holds Val on her back legs and puts a Night Slash, inches from her neck. I get ready to rush him as Umbreon says something, "You attack us, Val gets it." I look at Val, who was looking at me,

"Let her go Umbreon, she has nothing to do with this!" I yell as I see the Umbreon laugh,

"No she doesn't, but you do care about her, right?" I look at him with another stare. This is exactly like the spy movies in my world. I look at her, eyeing the Nuzleaf in the process then look back at Umbreon. There is no way around it, I can't save Val. I could feel the Eevee senses coming to me as I looked at Val, but I can't use them, they'll hurt Val. I just feel them more. I have to use my human brain to get around this.

"So here is the deal J, she'll be off the hook if you give yourself up, if you don't," he stomp the ground. Nuzleaf throws Val in the air and jumps to night slash her, he lands on two feet, she lands on her stomach, obviously in a lot of pain. I cringe as I look at her. My mind makes a mental chant.

senses…

Senses…

SENSES…

It get louder and louder, 'click' there goes the lock.

The Umbreon sees me with my head down and looks at me and starts laughing,

"What'll you do now? Your 'mate' can't save you this time!" he starts laughing louder. I see Val slowly look to me, I look up, gritting my teeth. Her eyes widen, she knows whats happened, the same thing at the Growlithe fight. My eyes turn bloodshot red as I Extremespeed Nuzleaf and Umbreon. I also grab Val and move her to my side, I look at the two weak opponents, my mind focused on hurting them, or worse. I hear Val yell behind me in a sad tone,

"Jake!" I hear her say, who was this 'Jake' i'm not 'Jake'. I have no name, just the intent to protect Valo. "Jake!" I hear her again, its familiar, that name, but who is it?. "Jake! This isn't you! Jake!" isn't me? Wait i'm not 'Jake' or am I? "Jake! Your acting like a monster!" that didn't bother me, the name 'Jake' who was it, it sounded to familiar. "You're not being who I fell in love with Jake!" 'Jake'… That name it couldn't be.
