Alright, sorry this chapter took a while. I kinda changed it a little in the middle.


As the sun set on the world and the sounds of Pewter City died down. The air was heavy, damp and unnatural, a result of the human pollution. The Pewter City skyline turned a dark honey shade and purple and as I stood out on the balcony the wind ran though my fur. I yawned loudly and scratched my chin, it had been a long day.

"Umbreon." said a gentle voice from behind me.

I lowered my head and smiled, knowing that voice like I knew mine.

"Vaporeon," I said turning my head to her. She looked slightly better than she had only a few hours before , the sun hit her reflective coat making her shine. Almost like an angel. "How are you?"

Vapor raised her ears "Good, good... and you."

I smiled "You know I'm fine, even more with you here now. I still can't believe that you got captured. I could understand me getting caught, but you're much smarter than me."

"I wouldn't say that, it's no surprise to me..." she looked down "I'm not good at anything, including battling."

I sighed , there she goes again. She had always been like that, constantly putting herself down. She had no self-esteem when it came to anything and blamed herself when anything went wrong. It drove me near insane when she would talk down to herself, she really is a wonderful Pokemon.

"Vapor," I said, calling her by her new name " why do you always do that? You can't keep putting yourself down like that, it's not good for your self-confidence." I sighed, "Why are you always so depressed?"

My sister frowned and lifted her head up "Can we not talk about that now?"

I placed a paw on her shoulder "No we need to, you're my sister and I want to know what's bothering you so I can help."

Vapor looked away for a second, breaking eye contact and said "When you left home... it was hard. You-" she stopped, rubbing the tears that where starting to form "you were the only one that I felt like I could talk to. Everyone else isn't like me, everyone else is normal. They tried, I know they did but I didn't feel like I had a connection."

I swallowed, suddenly realizing what she was going through. One of the worst feelings in the world is to feel alone. It eats away at your mind and soul and leaves you in a state of insanity eventually. But my sister was feeling something worst than being alone.

She felt alone when with people. And the only person that she felt like she could relate with was me.

"I don't want to talk about it." she said.

I sighed "Vaporeon..." I said , hearing the sadness in her voice

"Was it because of me?" she asked, not looking at me.

I was taken aback with that question. "No! Not at all Vapor , I didn't leave home because of you. I left because I wanted to live my life." I stopped to nudge her face to look at me "You really thought that I left because of you?"

She violently pushed away my paw " Why did you do that, all I wanted to do was have a talk with you." Her eyes had a flint of anger in them " I don't talk to you in months and the first conversation that we have you pry me open and try to find all my secrets. I just wanted to talk to you."

I was astounded at how fast her attitude had changed. Within moments she had gone from docile to aggressive, she usually never did that.

"I-"

"No Umbreon," interrupted Vapor "I thought you'd be different than the rest of the family about this. Forget it, I'll talk to someone else." she turned tail and walked into the hotel room "Goodnight."

As I wondered what had just happened and how Vapor had just had a mood change faster that Ruby I felt a slight sinking feeling in my chest. Whether I accepted it or not, Vapor was angry at me and that was going to be a big issue.
