Gust's POV

I just had to circle and dodge that insane clown's attacks. His yo-yo had caught my back for the second time. The wound were bleeding and hurting me like hell. But I didn't give up. I shot some razor leaves from afar but those didn't work. If long range attacks didn't work, I just had to try melee attacks. I encouraged myself just to withstand the pain. I ran quickly towards him, dodging every attack towards me.

"Take this and this! This is fun." Yo-yo Boy laughed as he swung his yo-yos one after another but I focused on getting him from behind. So I used Quick Attack just to sneak up from behind. It was a success. My tail glowed green as I struck it against his back which threw him violently across the ground. But he didn't wince or scream.

"How's that, you devil!" I sneered in a success tone. He slowly got up. He was smiling as usual which made me shocked. What was with him? Even my powerful attack didn't work.

"You forgot about my Filter ability." He said cheerfully and I blinked in surprise.

"Filter ability, the ability that halved the damage of the attack that I am weak against. It was not enough for knock me out." He said cheerfully, making me bare my teeth occasionally. I had no choice but to heal my injuries first. Luckily, the sun was strong enough for me to use Synthesis. My body glowed, healing my injuries.

"Not bad. Leafeon knows how to heal himself. This is gonna be great." The clown shouted and I growled. I hoped that just one or two more hits can bring him down. But he knew my tactics already, so how would I do that? And my wounds were not entirely healed and my feet were trembling. I just had to focus like before to strike him. But there was something wrong with Yo-yo Boy. Why didn't he even mimic my act?

"Got ya!" He said and I screamed in pain as his weapon hit my cheek, making a deep cut and sending me sprawling backwards. I shouldn't have been lost in my thoughts. This was a battle and being distracted meant easy to defeat. The cut appeared to be pretty deep and it was bleeding so much. I growled and then used Synthesis. There was a disturbance in m healing as the he swung his yo-yo forward me again which I had to cut my healing and dodge. My cut stopped bleeding but it still stung me. I was too tired to use Quick Attack also. Just how strong this clown was?

"Here's a present for you!" Yo-yo Boy said cheerfully and jumped very high causing me to stare at him in disbelief. He launched his yo-yo towards my back which I was too slow to dodge. So the yo-yo hit my back and kept on spinning around causing me to scream in pain. This was how he defeated Aero. Although the spinning didn't take much time since Yo-yo Boy landed on the ground, the wound was deeper than the other. I collapsed to the ground, breathing hard. I still had my consciousness even though I was lying helplessly on the ground. Memories about my past slowly flashed before me.

When I was young, I was just an eevee of a ruined temple. There were only three of us live, an old Glaceon named Winter, another female white eevee named Floret and me. The Glaceon was our master and caretaker. He always praised Floret but never praise me and I did not care either. He always scolded me for being wild and nasty. But I still had to thank that old man since he kept us alive. We were orphans and he took care of us like his children. Floret and I were not siblings either but I still saw her as my sister.

Yo-yo Boy stepped one of his feet on my face.

"You are still conscious, aren't you?" he asked cheerfully. "Get up and fight!"

But my past memories were still flashing before me. I was lying down on the meadow with my back against the ground and a small stick in my mouth which I didn't hold anymore. The young eevee was gazing at the clear blue sky. Floret approached and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked cutely, looking over me.

"It is none of your business, Floret." I answered irritably. Her eyes and face suddenly drooped down.

"What's wrong?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Why do you always have to be this wild? No wonder Winter scold you a lot." She said but I still didn't care.

"Sit down." I said and she obeyed. She sat down beside me and I remained indifferent, showing a grin.

"Do you know what is it out there?" I asked, and she nodded.

"A lot of people and many different places we've never been to." She said.

"Well, there are a lot of people indeed. Someday I am going to be renowned as the strongest and nastiest eon ever." I told her my dream which I still hadn't succeeded yet. She burst out laughing, rolling on the floor, putting her paws on her chest.

"What's so funny?" I asked in annoyed tone, slowly getting up.

"Just what eon are you gonna be?" she asked, still laughin.

"Any eon is possible except a glaceon like Winter." I said, praising myself.

"I hope you can be." She said, breaking up her laugh while I gave her a satisfied smile.

"I will be and I can give you my word." I said.

That was the promise I made but right now, I was weaker than a Mime Jr. I still got a long road to go. Mime Jr walked away from me.

"I really don't like weaklings." Yo-yo Boy muttered, not knowing what to do. I slowly got up on my feet with my legs trembling. It was true that I couldn't beat him in this state but however, I had a feeling that I had to try if I wanted to the strongest eon, I had to beat him. I walked towards him shakily at very slow speed.

"You never give up, do you? I guess I will have to make you faint." He said cheerfully, throwing a yo-yo at me. My eyes narrowed as it was coming forward. I closed my eyes, knowing that it would hit me. I heard a sound and opened my eyes again. It didn't hit me instead it was repelled. I was surprised to see Oracle in front of me.

"I never want to involve in battles but it looks like I have no choice." She demanded but Yo-yo Boy smiled and took a battle pose. But he was psychically thrown backwards by Oracle causing him to wince in pain.

"You are strong which makes this game more fun." He said happily. He was about swing his yo-yo forwards but stopped by the appearance of a ghost pokemon, banette, in front of him.

"We don't need this stupid road anymore. We have found a better place." It said in a male tone. Who was he? Oracle didn't seem to be surprise at all by the looks of her. The banette turned around to look at Oracle and gave a sinister smile.

"You must be the one they called Oracle. Nice to meet you." He greeted Oracle.

"I am Terror but I am afraid that I had to leave now. So bye." He said and disappeared along with Yo-yo Boy. I collapsed to the ground once more, being very weak. Soon darkness fell over my vision.
