Rain beamed as she sat on Charizard's neck with her dad holding on to her from behind. On the left was Sephen and his Pidgeot. He looked like he was in heaven flying. She had to admit she was enjoying it too.
"Down there." Dusty called pointing. "Is an unofficial gym. Ash will probably be challenging it by now."
It had been ten days since they'd went there separate ways and she missed them. She had been having a lot of fun that was true but she wanted to get back out on her journey soon. She'd been playing and doing a lot of training against the school kids. She'd been told that the battle tournament had been broadcasting all over Kanto so people had seen them.
Dusty had crushed everyone in the adult tournament and had a won a TM case with the TM Thunder in it. It was in her back pack right now. He'd given it to her. She also had a Pokecard that got money out of the bank for her. That way she could get her allowance it was latest thing. Dusty had one for Ash.
She smiled to herself she could just see Ash taking on the gym. They began going down.
"We have a small village out here." Dusty said as they landed people were looking at them. "It's called Hidden Village..."
"Hello," Rain was holding out her Abra to the eldest person in the town. "I want to thank you for sending this Abra in her egg to Prof. Oak. Because of that I was allowed to go out on a journey early. I love my Abra very much. "
Several people were chuckling.
"So it was an Abra egg?" the man laughed, patting both Abra and Rain's head. " You seem to be taking good care of her. "
"I do my best." Rain replied letting Abra float around. "May I let out my Pokemon?"
"You have to." He said, " Pokemon are not allowed to be in Pokeballs here. "
"Right!" Rain nodded, " I choose you Abra, Eevee, Magikarp, Nidoran, Nidoran, and Vaporeon! " Her Pokemon Popped out looking around. " This is Hidden Village." She said as she put Magikarp in the lake near by. Vaporeon followed into the water.
Rain stared at the Bulbasaur trying to chase off the Pokemon trying to terrorize the village. Brock came up with a woman and instantly had an arm full of Rain.
"Big Brother!" she sobbed into his shoulder. " I missed you so much! Where are Bro and Sis?"
"We got separated. " Brock sighed as tears filled her eyes. " Don't worry, Rain , we'll find them. What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to lots of Pokemon!" She cheered, "Come with me , Big Bro!"
"I'm sorry, Rain. " He smiled at her. "I'm going to look for Ash and Misty."
"Okay." She slid to her feet. "Don't battle any Pokemon around here though okay."
"I promise. " He petted her head. "I'll be back soon."He looked at her and smiled, "Zubat!" He let Zubat out of it's Pokeball. " Stay and watch Rain."
Rain beamed as Zubat landed on her shoulder then ran off to the Bulbasaur.
"I'll take over talking to them now." she said to it. "Hello, would you like some stones?" she showed them some stones in her hands. The Pokemon shook their heads so she put them away. "So please tell me what's wrong. we all just want to help you. None of us will hurt you hear. This is a Village for hurt and wounded Pokemon so they can get better. We get along with Pokemon and take care of them but you've been stealing the medicine. " She stopped thinking. "Oh!" the adults jumped staring at her. "I got it! You have a sick friend who cant move so you took the medicine but you don't know how to use it so you just keep taking more in hopes that you can figure it out and save it!"
They all nodded . One pokemon began bashing at the back of her legs telling her to go forward.
"I'll come with you." She nodded. "Eevee, Abra, we're going out for awhile would you come with me?" Abra floated past seemingly enamored with a male Abra across the way. Eevee jumped on her shoulder. Her male Nidoran ran to her side. "Okay, " she said looking up at her dad, "Eevee, Zubat and Nidran will protect me. So lets go."
Dusty nodded and they began following the Pokemon. It was a long hike but they came to a clearing deep in the forest. There were nests all around.
"It's an Eevee!" Rain ran over to it. She felt the Eevee's head. " High fever ..." she bit her lip grabbing a Potion. " You've been in a bad fight haven't you? Big Bro would be better at taking care of you but I'll do my best. Who hurt you?"
"That would be us." Jake's voice all spun except for Rain who was tending wounds. He had a new Partner. " We were counting on just this and that they would bring you and your brother along with them . Well, one out of two isn't bad. And you are the one we are most interested in. "
"Can the Eevee be moved?" Sephen asked, Rain chewed her lip but wrapped the Eevee grabbed as much Medicine as she could in her bed then stood and nodded. "Lets go!"
She and her Pokemon ran off with Eevee's friends. She ran as fast as she could. She was cut off by a Pidgey and a guy wearing the Team Nightmare uniform behind it.
"Eh!" she stopped, "Zubat, Supersonic, Please!"
Zubat did as told and Pidgey began attacking it's trainer. With that they ran or flew toward the Village.
"Big Bro!" She screamed as soon as she reached the Village everyone turned and faced them. "Bro! Sis! PIKACHU! THUNDERSHOCK!"
Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder jumped off her head and shocked the people following her. She stopped breathing hard. Then ran to Brock.
"Help!" He nodded and she began unloading the Medicine. He set to work , Nidoran sat in Rain's arms as she sat watching Brock working. Eevee's eyes were on her. " You'll be okay, Eevee. " Her Eevee came running back over with her Vaporeon. Her Abra and female Nidoran came running over with that. "These guys belong with me. I'm sorry you're hurt. Not all trainers are as mean as Team Nightmare. "
Brock eventually told them that all Eevee need was some rest just as he finished saying that they heard laughing. They all looked up to see Team Rocket on a flying stadium. They released a giant hose to suck up all the pokemon.
Bulbasaur used his vines to catch an Oddish. As everyone began running for cover. Ash began pushing Bulbasaur toward the house where his sister and friends were. Once in they got the door shut. But Bulbasaur went out a window and on to the roof and began using it's vines to force the hose back. Ash burst out and tossed a ball.
"Pidgeotto!" He yelled, "Use Whirlwind to blow them away!"
Pidgeotto did as told and blew them away.
Rain was holding the wounded Eevee as they came out. She jumped and rushed toward the lake.
"Magikarp!" she screamed "Magikarp, are you okay? I'm sorry I left you out here!"
Magikarp surfaced and splashed her playfully. She laughed.
"I'm glad you're okay." she petted it. " I wanted you to play in the water instead of just in the ball. "
Dusty and Sephen had come running into the Village at that point. He sighed in relief and embarrassed Ash by hugging him then hugging Rain as well.
After dinner that night Rain made an announcement
"Bulbasaur wants to battle you, Bro." Everyone froze, " He says that if you beat him he will join your team. " She nodded she was feeding the sick Eevee. " Now Bulbasaur is a Grass/Poison type which type should you use against him?"
"Oh,!" Ash perked up . "I know this one! Grass is weak against Flying, Fire , Poison , Bug and Ice. Poison types are weak to Ground and Psychic attacks. My best bet would to go with Pidgeotto are Butterfree."
"Well, done, Ash." Brock chuckled, "Misty's been drilling him while we wander lost . She's as persistent as you are . "
"Good!" Rain beamed, Dusty was having a laughing/coughing fit in his coffee cup. " I'm going to bed. So show me Bulbasaur tomorrow. I'm really tired. "
Rain curled up in her bed . Her Eevee and the sick Eevee were curled up with her. Dusty kissed her forehead only to notice that it was warm. He frowned and went to see if they had human Medicine for his Princess.
Rain was sick the next morning and couldn't move because her head hurt so much. Melonie made medicine from the mushrooms her Paras gave her. But Rain was forced to rest the whole day. Though she insisted that she had to take care of the new Eevee. At one point Bulbasaur came in with Ash and Melonie. Bulbasaur was carrying a tray above it with it's vines.
"If you keep taking your medicine today you should be better by tomorrow." Melonie smiled as Ash fed the sick child on the bed. " You'll be up and running around all over the Village."
"Kay..." She mumbled, she blinked, the new Eevee was feeling better now and was licking her cheek. " Can I stay up and talk to him?"
"Sure." she nodded, as Dusty, Misty and Brock came in. " Just take it easy."
Brock looked over the Eevee.
"He's doing well." Brock laughed, " A few more days and he'll be all better his friends will be happy."
"HEY!" everyone jumped as Rain ran through the Village chasing the rescued Eevee. "Come back here with that stone!"
Her Eevee was asleep with her other pokemon by the lake. It was a week later.
The Eevee pawed at the stone and was suddenly enveloped in light.
"No, fair!" she cried, "That was my Fire stone!"
Sure enough it had evolved into Flareon. Flareon stuck his tongue out and began talking.
"FINE!" she declared, "Vaporeon!" Vaporeon jumped out of the water. " If we beat Flareon he'll come with us so lets give it our best!"
Vaporeon nodded.
"Water Gun!"
Flareon jumped to the side dodging and tried to tackle. Vaporeon jumped back in to the water dodging then came back out.
The battle became Water Gun vs Tackle. Neither one wanted to give up. Flareon was fast but not as fast as her dad's Jolteon and finally fell to Water Gun.
"Pokeball, GO!" she threw it and it hit Flareon and he disappeared in to it. The ball shook once, twice, three times, stilled and flew back into her hand. "We caught Flareon!" She cheered, "We only need a Jolteon!"
A few days later they were off once more. Rain happily with her new Flareon and Ash happily with his new Bulbasaur. Misty was teasing Brock about Melonie as they left the village to continue their adventure. All four looking forward to what would happen next.
