If it were possible she would dive into the water and swim to the darkest depths just to explore. What sort of Water Pokemon does Unova hold? What types are there in the deeps of the ocean?

As it happens, Sabrina was on the top of a bridge over 200 feet above the water. Swoobat fluttered above her as Jolteon watched with her.

Sabrina closed her eyes and wondered what would've happened if she chose instead to follow in the footsteps of that Dark Type trainer a couple of years ago when she delivered that Umbreon to them.

She cast a glance at Jolteon, his eyes eager to see what she might be seeing.

No, that would deny her what Jolteon has become. They chose together, and so they finish this journey of discovery, together.

Sabrina's eyes widened in surprise when she felt hands grab her waist.

"Sabrina! You're standing too close to the edge!"
The Ghost Trainer? Sabrina turned to Danny, his eyes wide in fear. He was sweating up a storm, and now that she was facing him, she felt his pants along her face and felt the heat coming off of his body. From this distance the worry and concern in his deep blue eyes was obvious.

Sabrina felt herself blush as a flirtatious smirk crept up her face and a strange feeling filled her gut.

"Oh? I think we may be standing a little too close to each other," she said as her hands slipped on top of his, wiggling her hips slightly, "But thanks for pulling me away anyways."

Danny jumped back as his face suddenly turned a beet red.

Jolteon barked and his Lampet laughed in agreement, holding onto a Snorunt gleefully.

"Scarlet! Don't say such lewd things in front of Dawn!"

Sabrina leaned on the fence, smirk turning into a smile, "Here for the Badge?"

"Uh, yeah, I just-" Danny cleared his throat, "You already got it?"

"Believe it or not, no. I wanted to see the sights and visit my Grandparents first," She began to walk back to the city, "I should start heading back if I want to catch some dinner with them." Out of the corner of her eyes she saw him walking in the same direction.

"Where are your friends?" She asked.

He winced, the color now draining from his face. "We had a fight."

His tone was so final and his expression turned so sad that Sabrina spoke without thinking, "Wanna come and stay at my Grandparents' place? They wouldn't mind, and the hotels here are expensive."

Again Danny blushed. His Lampet nudged him, winking and cooing.

"Scarlet, it's not like that."

"Laaammpeet lam lampet!"

"She just invited me! Quit giving me that look!"

"Jolteon, jolt!" Jolteon chimed in, smirking.

"Lampet?" Scarlet's eyes took on knowing, flirty look, "Lamp."

"Yeah, I'm saying yes! And no, it's not happening!"

"Lam, lamp pet!" Scarlet turned to her Jolteon, holding out an arm.

"Jolteon jolt eon," Jolteon countered, and they shook on it.

Danny groaned, "Oh my goodness you guys stop!" He turned to Sabrina, face a deeper shade of red, "Sorry about that, Scarlet can get frisky. I'd love to stay and meet you Grandparents."

Sabrina beamed. "And uh, what did our Pokemon just say?"

Danny's eyes lit up in surprise, as if he'd forgotten that only he could truly understand them. He looked away, "Uh, you really don't want to know."

Sabrina bumped her shoulders on his, causing him to blush. Again. Damn he was something else when he blushed like that.

"Jolt jolteon," Jolteon cooed, winking at Scarlet.

Scarlet giggled.

Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Eevee is a unique Pokémon that can adapt to its environment by changing its form and abilities when evolving. There are only a few alive.

Danny's eyes scanned through the city, drinking in the sights. He looked everywhere but at Sabrina, who had kept that stupid smirk again after the encounter at the bridge.

"So I should mention something first Danny," Sabrina said as they began walking through the city, "My grandparents are Eeveelution specialists and experiment on evolution."

"Alright," Danny said.

There was a pause from Sabrina. "You're not going to say anything about it?"

"I don't know what 'Eeveelution' means, so I can't give you an opinion on it. I do know what evolving is though," Danny admitted, "But what do you mean by experiment on it?"

Sabrina let out a shaky sigh, "Some of the more messy parts of Pokemon research, more specifically on the Evolution Pokémon Eevee."

"Messy?"

"Team Plasma would call them barberic. My grandparents would tell you it was for science. The Eevee and their evolutions would say it was life."

"Team who?"

"They're Pokemon rights activists. You'll probably hear them in a rally or something. Anyway, yeah, my grandparents are paid to experiment on mainly Eevee, but sometimes switch to other Pokemon that can evolve with a stone, or have branched evolutions."

"OK." Danny replied.

"OK?"

"Look Sabrina, I really don't know about Unova culture, or how they handle Pokemon. In fact, I've only heard of Eevee before, and I thought it only evolved into that Jolteon of yours. I didn't know Pokemon could have different types of evolutionary paths!" Danny explained, patiently.

Sabrina's mouth opened and closed. She shook her head and led Danny and his Pokemon into a tall apartment building. Danny could see the wheels turning in her head as they entered the elevator.

"Alright," she said finally, then bent down to Jolteon, taking out a ribbon. She whispered something he could not hear, tying the red ribbon around his neck like a collar whilst taking back a magnet that had been stuck on his belly.

"Just one piece of advice: recall your Lampet and Snorunt, and don't let my grandparents see them. You can have out that Deerling of yours and your Archeops. They go insane if they see a Pokemon that can evolve with a stone."

Oh, but I'd rather meet the rarities Scarlet pouted.

"Sorry Scarlet," Danny said, taking out her Pokeball, "You'll be fine." To Sabrina, he said, "So Scarlet and Dawn can have branching paths?"

Sabrina laughed, "Only your Snorunt. Scarlet evolves if she touches a Dusk stone. I'd rather not have them pressure you to evolve them prematurely. Unless you want to, of course!" She added quickly.

Danny shook his head, and the elevator dinged.

"Be strong Deafening," Sabrina said as they stepped out.

Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokémon, and an evolved form of Eevee. The composition of its cells is similar to molecules of water, and as such, can melt in water.

Her grandparents' apartment was spacious, decorated with stones and eggs, each egg with a date on it. Pokemon of all kinds filled it, from a warm red doglike creature with a yellow collar, tail and head floof, to a massive, long blue fish-dog-mermaid hybrid. He spotted what looked like a fox with yellow rings and red eyes stare at him as it walked with a purple cat with two tails. He spotted two other Jolteon, one of them being green instead of yellow!

"Sabrina!" an old man, who must've been her Grandfather, walked up and hugged her. Two more Pokemon walked up beside him, one appearing to be sprouting leaves while the other was a light blue with some sort of darker blue hat.

"Grandpa!" Sabrina hugged him back, then pushed away to show Danny, "This is a fellow trainer named Danny. He's a friend and I've decided to let him stay before we both go after the Insect Badge."

Her grandfather adjusted his glasses and stuck out his hand. Danny shook it.

"It's nice to meet you," Danny said.

"The pleasure's all mine." His voice was rough, with what Danny could describe as an Irish accent in it.

Danny felt something tickle his arm. The fish-dog-mermaid gazed up at him, it's frills that acted like a mane brushing up against him. Not counting frills, it was tall enough to reach his waist.

"Vaporeon!" it greeted him warmly, thrusting itself on its hind legs and jumping on him like a dog, "Vapor, vaporeon!"

"Down Hydro, down!" Sabrina's grandfather commanded.

Hydro obeyed, backing down.

"Sorry about that," he said, "he gets so excited when he meets someone he doesn't know. Danny, was it? What kind of Pokemon do you have?"

Remembering Sabrina's words, Danny said, "A Deerling and an Archeops, sir."

"Ah, so you're the lad Juniper gave that Archeops too. She should've sent it here so we could see it that was its final form or not."

"I don't think Jack has any more stages, sir."

"Mind if I see it anyway?"

"No sir, Jack's tired," Danny replied as a pit grin his gut.

Her grandfather shrugged, "Your loss lad."

"Grandpa, where's Grandma?" Sabrina asked her voice clipped.

"How's your Deafening?" her grandfather changed the subject just as quickly.

Jolteon stiffened at the mention of his name.

"Fine, he's gotten so strong!" Sabrina said, bending down to pat his head.

"Such a shame he didn't evolve into that Umbreon," he said, bending down to take a look, "You're a stupid one, aren't you? That Thunder Stone was meant for a Pikachu, not a Pokemon meant for Special Defense!"

"Umbreon um!"

Umbreon, the Moonlight Pokémon. The rings in its fur glow when the moon shines on them.

It approached Jolteon, its rings glowing and its teeth bared.

Jolteon's hair stood on end. The Umbreon started laughing, a hollow, eerie sound that filled the room. It whipped its head forward, sending out dark balls of energy.

One of them hit Danny in the leg.

If you had any common sense you'd have cut yourself then curled up and DIED!

He flinched at the intrusion in his mind as the Umbreon went back to laughing.

"Lonliness!" Sabrina's grandfather kicked the Moonlight Pokemon. Its laughter was cut short.

"Go! Don't come back! Bad boy, bad!"

Its ears went flat against its head. Then Umbreon threw another round of hysterical laughter and began to leave.

"Grandfather, I'm perfectly happy the way Deafening turned out." Sabrina finally said as the laughter died away.

"But I'm not!" He repeated, then turned around, "Anyway, your grandmother made burritos. Serve yourselves then straight to bed! Your grandmother and I have work to do. It was a pleasure meeting you Danny. Sabrina, be a dear and show him the guest room. As for everyone else, if you want to eat you better follow me." And with that he walked out of the room, followed by the rest of the Eeveelutions.

"Is that Umbreon always like that?" Danny asked, "And what did it do to Jolteon?"

"Dark Pulse. It's an attack embedded with dark thoughts with a chance of flinching," Sabrina kneeled down to Jolteon, who began to cry, "You're alright Deafening. I still love you, remeber that."

"I didn't know you named your Pokemon too."

"Yeah, I normally don't tell other people their names," Sabrina replied, standing up, "Come on, let's eat and I'll show you your room."

"Don't let them out," Sabrina reminded him as Danny reached for his Pokeballs, "Feed them when you're alone in the room, door locked."

"What are they doing?" Danny asked, feeling Scarlet's Pokeball begin to shake.

"I don't know, they've never let me see," Sabrina shrugged, "But sometimes I can hear screaming. I've always assumed it was training and someone got hurt badly."

"What about that Umbreon? Loneliness, right?"

"It's going insane. Lonliness was Deafening's replacement after he chose to steal a Thunder Stone and evolve to a Jolteon instead. They'd have put him down if I hadn't begged to keep him."

"Jolteon," Deafening spat out, "jolt."

"Why?"

"It's part of the research. They did not need another Jolteon, especially one that evolved wrong. He was bred to study evolution by friendship, not stones."

Danny grabbed his own burrito. He unwrapped it from the napkin as Sabrina beckoned him to follow.

BUT IF THIS IS LOVE THEN I DON'T WANT TO BE LOVED!

The scream echoed in his mind, causing Danny to stop in his tracks.

I'D RATHER BE HUNG!

"Danny?" Sabrina asked, "Ignore it, they're just probably injured."

Danny shook his head, "Someone's dying unless Eevee has a Ghost Type."

"Not one yet discovered," Sabrina tugged at his arms as hysterical laughter began to echo. The Pokemon in question just went insane.

Both jumped up at the sound of something snapping, and the laughter was cut off with a wet splat.

Scarlet's Pokeball began to warm up and shake violently.

"Come on," Sabrina pulled Danny away. The door to the room in question began to open, and Sabrina shoved Danny into a different room and swiftly closed the door behind her, turning off the bedroom lights.

"Sabrina, what the hell are they doing?" Danny asked, "Someone is seriously hurt if I can hear them."

Sabrina didn't answer. Instead, she snatched his burrito away, placing both his and hers on the bedside table.

"What are you-"

"Sorry about this," Sabrina whispered before kissing him.

Well, this chapter was something else. Anyone else get my song refence throughout this chapter, or nah?

Anyway, it's here, and oh boy did Danny land himself in hot waters! Pokemon expirementations and his rival flirting with him? HOT DAMN DANIELS!

Wonder what'll happen next time ;D Leave your comments and predictions via reviews!
