(Grant)
Midway to Snowbelle city it began to get dark. We set up camp and oh boy it is freezing! Thank god we have a fire type to keep the fire lit. The snow is picking up. We must be close to Snowbelle city if it is this cold!
"So let me get this straight. A flower made you remember Eve?" Shimmer asked
"Well… when you take the meat out of it… yeah. But you don't seem to understand the whole picture," I said
"What do you mean by that?" she asked
"Well you see that flower is really heavy with memories. It broke the seal in my mind and allowed me to remember everything. Everything good and everything bad,"
"Oh yeah… like what?" Shimmer asked sounding fascinated.
"Good or bad?" I asked
"Both,"
"Well a good moment I can remember is the day Eve and I first met… A bad moment is well… you know about it,"
"How on earth did you and Eve become so close?"
"Well it took a psychopath pikachu, getting abandoned by Jess and one very, very cold winter. We only had each other so we got to know each other. Through the many, many nights we stayed, the hardships we had to deal with and the snow. Over time we opened up so much and one day we were snowed in. We talked a bit and then a silence drew over us. We both said each others' names before counting down and simply saying that we loved each other," I explained.
"Man… how long did that take you?" asked Shimmer
"I'd guess about… over two months?" I said
"Wow… why did that take so long?"
"You wouldn't understand being more focused on surviving and worrying about someone who has a bone to pick with you with the constant fear of them barging in and killing you… you just don't seem to worry about your feelings. Well at least Eve didn't… I knew since the day that I met her, that deep down I loved her. You may not see it but in many, many ways she is so much like me,"
"Wow, you really have to tell me more about your past… I mean I was bred in a pokemon lab and given to Jess as a starter pokemon," Shimmer said.
"well I don't really have much to tell… I mean I could tell you about my human life,"
"Please do,"
"I will but… that fire looks pretty low," I said.
Shimmer looked back; "Oh crud!" she said running over to it and blowing a flamethrower on the logs.
"Geez, someone's eager!" I said.
"Now tell me about your life," she said
"Well… I was adopted on the 21st of october…"
(Eve)
I hope this is enough wood to last the night.
"Why did we have to leave Shimmer and Grant behind?" I asked
"Well Shimmer can keep the fire up and Grant is our best fighter so we left them together so that we will have something to go back to," said Jess.
"Yeah I guess that makes sense," I said. We trekked through the woods, twisting and turning it got my head in a loop. "Jess, how much longer?" I asked.
"Uh… Please don't hate me," she said
"Why?" I asked concerned
"I may have sort of gotten us kind of… Lost."
(Grant)
"So the portal opened up and through a little bit of convincing Jess and I both stepped through and here we are today. I have told you pretty much everything that happened prior to this dimension," I said with a smile.
"That was nice… Terrible but nice," Shimmer said.
"Well I did have fifteen years under my belt so a lot more happened," I said.
Shimmer stretched her limbs and yawned. "Grant do you think I would be like you some day?" She asked.
"I sure hope not, I lived a miserable life… Well not as miserable as Jess's life," I said
"No, no. I mean brave and powerful like you… Not afraid of anything!"
"Well… I don't know. I am afraid… Very afraid. I was shaking in my boots when those umbreon came. I just needed to help Eve… What they did to her… It transferred all my fear into anger. But I do think you can become strong… I mean you are so strong now!" I said
"Well I had the best teacher," she said. She fell on top of me and fell asleep. I began petting her. I looked to the sky… It is dark… Night time. They should be back by now! I heard rustling in the bushes. My ears perked up and I quickly picked up Shimmer and placed her inside the tent.
"Who's there?" I called out. A head popped out. It was an umbreon.
They slowly walked out of the bushes and… they were shiny. All until the tail. The tail had yellow rings instead of the blue ones that were all around his body.
"Hi… Umm… Grant isn't it?" he asked.
"Yeah… um... I'm sorry who are you?" I asked.
"Oh right when we first met you were kind of unconscious… Anyway my name's Neon,"
"How… how do you know me?" I asked
"Oh, don't worry, the absol is dead," he said
"Absol?... Umbreon… Wait a minute! You are the prick who gave me amnesia!" I said with a rage slowly building up.
"Whoa, whoa,whoa! Don't jump to conclusions man. Look I am acquainted with Eve. I helped you recover," Neon said.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"It's just not everyday you see another Dimension Twister," he said with a grin.
"I'm sorry… a what?" I asked.
"That is what you are… a Dimension Twister. Your case is very odd though. The rest of us were all chosen by mew after states of great grief or trauma. For some reason they transferred over more power to you than any other. I know she is rather fond of you. I mean she hid you away for years and the men in the red suits killed pretty much all of us. From what I know, there is about four of us left. One is with the men in the red suits. You are one of the special ones, I am one of them… I believe there is another umbreon left as well but his case is unknown of the whereabouts or cause… If he is good or bad… I don't know,"
"Well… shit. I had no idea that what I could do was shared by so many others. Make that five that are left. You also have Eve. I must've transferred some of my powers onto her. Oh and that other umbreon you were talking about… He's with me. He is my best friend from my dimension," I said.
"What?!" He asked shocked.
"Yeah Joey is a Dimension Twister as well," I said.
"So where are they?"
"Out getting firewood," I said.
"Um… Is there anyone else here?" he asked
"Just Shimmer," I said.
"Wait I thought your mate was Eve!" He said
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it a second mate. Shimmer is not my mate. Of course I love her but… not the sort of love that I have with Eve… Shimmer is more like a sister to me," I said.
"Oh… so that's why she snuggled up to you?" he asked
"What? No… she was just tired," I said.
"Okay… well happy travels!" he said running off into the woods. What a weird, weird bloke. The fire is getting low again. We're running on fumes! I sighed and walked over to it and threw two of the big logs that were beside it onto the fire. The flame isn't big enough to light the next logs. I don't want to wake up Shimmer. I sighed a big sigh. I looked hastefully to my left and right. I took a deep breath and shot a flamethrower onto the logs to light them.
"Grant? I didn't know you could do that!" said the sweet innocent voice of Shimmer.
"Shit," I said.
"How long have you been able to do that?!" she asked
"For a little bit… not too long. And I really don't like using that particular move… It just leaves an odd, really strange taste in your mouth,"
"Does Eve know you can do this?" she asked.
I shook my head; "No, only you and Jess know," I said.
(Eve)
"Grant… Grant!" I shouted hoping to get a response. "Fucking hell! I shouldn't have left… I shouldn't have left!" I said pacing back and forth.
"Eve calm down!" said Jess
"I can't! I just can't. I need to know he is safe!" I said
"Eve! He's fine!"
"How do you know for sure? Huh? How?!" I shouted
"Both of you just shut up!" Joey shouted with his nose to the wind.
"What are you doing?" I asked
"I'm trying to get either Grant or Shimmer's scent. Kind of bloody hard to concentrate
when you two are bickering!" He said.
"Have you got anything?" I asked.
Joey's eyes opened and ears perked up. "Shimmer," he said. "I think I've found them!"
"Well lead the way!" I said. We ran off close by Joey and soon a speck of orange was seen in the distance.
I gasped and bolted towards it. "Grant!" I shouted out running as fast as my legs would carry me.
(Grant)
My ears perked up. "Eve?" I asked myself. "Eve!" I called out. Soon a brown speck came hurdling towards me. Before I knew it she was in my arms and crying slightly. "Hey, hey, hey… What's wrong Eve?" I asked stroking her back.
"I just thought something awful had happened to you!" She said
"Shh… now why would you think that hun?" I asked
"I guess just the fear of losing you and me getting lost… it all piled on top and came crumbling down… I was thinking of what could have happened to you… I just don't like being away from you for so long,"
"I know… I know," I said petting her. "Now I would kiss you but I am scared that our tongues will get frozen together!" I said nuzzling her. I made her chuckle.
"You know what would make me laugh?" Eve asked
"What is that?" I asked
"Well that is an air mattress that Joey and Shimmer are sleeping on…" She smiled a devious smile.
"Oh… oh you little," I said with a grin.
I slowly walked into the tent. Joey and Shimmer are asleep on the bed. I slowly creeped up on them and jumped in between them causing Shimmer to flail her limbs and go flying off to the left and Joey to do barrel rolls and fly off to the right all whilst both Eve and me are laughing our heads off.
"Damn it Grant!" Joey said. "Why?"
"Because it was funny!" I said wiping a tear away from my eye. I looked at both of them and sighed.
"Okay… One free shot," I said. "Just please no dark pulse," I said.
I soon felt a flamethrower on my back and a shadow ball hitting my face. I got up and brushed it off; "Okay now we're even," I said walking over to a corner of the tent and curled down as close as I possibly could to Eve and fell asleep.
I opened my eyes and was greeted with Eve's smiling face right next to me.
"Good morning sweetheart," I said.
She looked at me and smiled; "Morning Granty!" she said.
We got up and walked out of the tent. Immediately freezing cold air smashed my face. "Come on. Let's go for a walk," I said.
"Oh… okay," she said sounding nervous.
"Hey what's up?" I asked
"Oh, it really isn't anything… I'm fine," she said with a smile.
"Well too right!" I said with a smile. We walked through the blanket of white cold pillows feeling the crisp winter air on our faces. Eve wis walking very close to me… she's scared… but of what? "Eve, honey… are you sure everything is alright…? I mean if you really want to we can head back," I asked her.
"Grant… Believe me it is nothing to worry about," she said.
"Do you want to continue walking… or do you want to head back?" I asked. "Just keep in mind… out here we are all alone," I told her with a grin.
"What… oh… no; Grant I just don't feel like that today," she said.
"Okay… so what do you want to do?" I asked
"Let's just head back,"
"Okay; honestly I wasn't in the mood for sex either… at least not today," I said.
We walked back to the campsite and met up with Jess, Joey and Shimmer. We packed up our things and continued on our way to snowbelle city.
Snow was as far as the eye could see. We went to the pokemon center and we had to get in our pokeballs so we could heal up. The cheery sound of the jingle that played when your pokemon were healed in game played and I was released from my pokeball prison.
"Okay so gameplan guys… final gym," Jess said
"Okay here is what I think should happen… Shimmer should be the primary pokemon to use… if Wulfric pulls out any water-ice pokemon… send me in. If I faint then it is up to you who you choose for the battle. It depends on the circumstances. Obviously the gym leader throws their pokemon first… that gives us the upper hand," I said.
"Well that sounds like a plan to me," Jess said.
"Now let's go win us that last Gym badge!" Shimmer shouted.
"Yes… let's do it!" Joey said putting his paw in the middle with Shimmer putting hers on top.
"I'm with you mate!" I smiled as I placed my hand in the middle.
"Count me in too!" Eve said placing her paw on top of mine.
Finally Jess placed her hand in.
"You ready guys! If we win this it is on to next year's pokemon league! I'm counting on you all… Let's be the very best like no one ever was!" Jess said
"To catch them is my real test!" I added on
"To train them is my cause…" Jess said
"No… to win them! To win them all! Now let's go in that gym and show them who's boss!" I said
"Okay on three… One… two… three!"
"Let's do it!" We shouted gaining pretty much everybody's attention in the pokemon center.
We walked over to the menacing building of Snowbelle city gym and slowly opened the huge doors and walked in.
"Who goes there?" Asked a deep and menacing voice
"I am here to challenge the gym!" Jess shouted.
"Challenger? Who are you and where are you from?" he asked
"I am Jess… I have ventured far and wide to get to the position I am at right now. I came here to challenge you! I am Jess Duke and I am here to kick your butt!"
"That... was, awesome," I said softly
"Take your position!" they shouted. We all walked up to the battlefield and readied ourselves.
A large figure in a dark cape walked down the huge opaque stairs. They moved their head up and stared dead at us. They opened up their cape and it was indeed Wulfric.
"The battle for the gym badge is about to be underway! Challenger Jess Duke against Gym Leader Wulfric. This will be a full pokemon battle meaning that all the pokemon in your party are able to battle… a six pokemon against...four pokemon! Gym leader Wulfric has the upper hand! Ready? Battle begin!" Shouted the announcer.
"Well you have made it this far… you will never beat me! Now get ready to taste defeat!" He shouted. "Go Avellug!" he shouted throwing a pokeball out making a huge pokemon appear.
"Well okay then… Shimmer I choose you!" She shouted.
You know it was pretty amusing seeing Shimmer take down pokemon after pokemon.
"That's it! As soon as I get rid of that fennekin this will be an easy battle! Go Abomasnow!" Wulfric threw out his abomasnow… Shimmer is on such low health, any attack that connects will cause her to faint.
"come on Shimmer push through! Land a couple of good hits on them! Weaken them for when I have to come in!" I shouted to her.
Shimmer took a deep breath in and shot out a massive flamethrower… it seemed to do next to nothing on the opposing abomasnow. Shimmer was hit by a lump of hail caused by the Abomasnow's snow warning ability. She fainted on impact. Jess walked onto the battlefield and collected Shimmer. "You did great," she said to Shimmer. Jess turned her head towards me… the first and only gym battle that I'll be recorded in. I nodded my head and jumped out onto the battlefield.
"A pikachu? From your records you don't own a pikachu… This'll be an easy sweep!" Wulfric gloated.
"Say what you want mate… I'll kick the butt of whatever you can throw at me! You thought that by defeating Shim that your battle will be so much easier… in reality it just got a whole lot harder!" I said.
"It talks! A little full of them self aren't they?" he said. "Well since you seem so confident…" He said pulling out a key stone and placing his finger on it. Bright lights beamed from the stone and into a stone that the abomasnow was holding. The abomasnow was consumed by a blinding white light it began sprouting things from its back before revealing its final form. This is going to be interesting.
"Okay Grant! You know what to do!" Jess shouted. I ran over to the Mega Abomasnow.
"You're a pikachu… what moves could you do that could even dent this abomasnow?"
I took a deep breath in. "Grant use fireblast!" Jess shouted. I smiled and released a huge fireball at the abomasnow sending it flying back…
"Oops I think I overdid it," I said. Wulfric stood there without any motion in shock of what he just witnessed.
"H-how h-how did you do that?!" he asked gobsmacked.
"Well… that doesn't matter… but I do believe that you have three pokemon left?" I asked.
"Glalie!" he shouted and threw out a pokeball.
Glalie? I swear he never had one of those in the games… wait this is real life… it wouldn't follow the cannon of the games… maybe loosely.
I ran up to the glalie and smashed it in the face with a volt tackle… Insta-death.
He sent out his last two pokemon; a glaceon and a weavile both fainted as fast as the last.
"That does it!" The announcer shouted. "Weavile has fainted therefore Leader Wulfric is defeated and the challenger has won!" We were given the eighth and last gym badge, we did our little victory dance and left the gym.
"So… who wants a victory dinner?" Jess asked.
"Yeah I'm in!" I said.
We walked over to a nice restaurant Jess asked what we wanted. "Well you already know what I'll have," I said with a smile
"Really? Even after these years… still?" She asked
"Yeah!" I said
"Well okay then… what about you three?" she asked
Joey turned to me; "I'll let Grant guess," he said.
"Oh boy it has been so long…" I said. I came back to me, I sighed a heavy sigh "You still want bloody pizza… that reminds me of that night! We were walking back from the pizza parlour! Far out! You said we should have taken the faster route… I refused… then we ran into those hoodlums… you got stabbed and I was a wreck for the next four years…" I said
"Grant… are you okay?" Eve asked. I opened my eyes and I felt a stray tear roll down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away.
I cleared my throat; "Yeah fine… just wasn't ready to deal with that," I said.
"Anyway Shimmer how about you?" asked Jess.
"Something spicy!" she said
"What was that all about Grant?" asked Eve.
"Just… having Joey here and him wanting pizza… it just brought back some memories I didn't want to remember,"
"Eve what about you?" Jess asked
"Uhh, something savory," she said
"How about the spaghetti?" Jess asked
"That sounds good,"
"So one large bowl of spaghetti?" I asked
"Yeah I guess so,"
"Grant you know I can't eat much," Eve said
"Well you got the same thing I ordered… so we can share," I said with a smile.
We got our meals and Eve and I pulled a few Lady and the Tramps… one was accidental… the other twenty, were on purpose.
We got a room in the nearby pokemon center because fuuuck sleeping in the snow again! I have had to do it for over two months before and I am not planning on doing it again! We all walked in and me and Eve curled down and fell asleep.
(Eve)
I yawned and got up and walked out onto the balcony. The crisp air of the freezing winds hit my face. "Good morning Shimmer," I said.
She turned back and smiled; "morning Eve," she said… "Something's off," she said sniffing around. I bit my lip. "Oh my gosh… no way," she said with her eyes wide.
(Grant)
I awoke and stretched my limbs… odd Eve usually isn't up before me. I walked out to the balcony.
"You have to tell him," I overheard Shimmer.
"Look… there is no point!"
"Grant needs to know!"
"I need to know what?" I asked making both of them jump.
"Nothing important Grant," Eve said.
I have noticed that she's been acting odd recently. She's keeping something from me… but what? Maybe it really isn't important, and maybe it is for the best I don't try to pry it out of her. "Okay," I said with a smile. "Am I interrupting anything?" I asked.
"No, not really," Shimmer said looking back at Eve.
"I am interrupting… keep doing what you were doing… I'll go hang out with Jozzo," I said walking off.
(Eve)
"See? Now look what you've done! You've made Grant think that he has barged in on something private," Shimmer said
"Well… It is kind of private… I mean it does involve my privates," I said
"You've fucked before! He's seen it!" I have never in my life heard Shimmer swear before! "Eve, he's going to find out that you're in heat one way or another. I mean you sleep so close together," she said.
She's right… Maybe I shouldn't sleep with Grant… at least not until my heat goes away. "Well I could not sleep next to him," I said.
Shimmer sighed a deep sigh. "Eve… don't do this… you have no idea what this can do to him!" she said
"It will keep him and me safe from anything bad happening. I'll keep my distance until the heat is over,"
"Eve! No trust me this… won't..." Her voice faded away as I ran out the door.
(Grant)
"So… what you're saying is that you think she's keeping secrets from you?" asked Joey.
"Yeah… but I have no idea what it is… or even how bad it is," I said.
"This… this just doesn't seem like Eve… keeping secrets from you… you guys are always so open about everything!"
"Obviously this is something she just doesn't want me to know about… I don't know. Maybe she… maybe she was with another guy while I was in my weird memory gap… maybe she just… doesn't love me like how she used to," I said.
"Hey don't say that," Joey said putting his arm around me.
"Well considering that she is the only thing that gets me up in the morning… seeing her face, it just makes me wonder," I said.
"Grant…"
"I mean I just threw myself at this girl… Hey it is probably nothing anyway,"
"What has lead you to jump to these conclusions?" Joey asked
"Just the way she's been acting around me recently… when I go to give her a kiss… or even hug her she backs away like I'm doing something wrong, when we sleep she doesn't snuggle up like she normally would and she seems to want to stay as far away from me as possible… I don't know what's up. I don't know if I have done something wrong or what," I said.
"Come on Grant… don't get like this. Look I am pretty sure it is nothing," Joey said.
"Yeah well that's one pretty big nothing if she's doing all this to avoid me… I don't know if I did something to her in my clueless state or she took one of my jokes the wrong way,"
"Come one mate… it's getting dark let's head back," Joey said.
"Okay," I said with a deep sigh.
We entered our room and I lied down next to Eve… she shuffled away a bit. What's going on with her?
(Eve)
I'll wait for him to fall asleep so he doesn't follow me. This is for his own good. I need to isolate myself from him, he can't know! An hour passed and soon I heard the sound of Grant's quiet snore. I sighed and slowly inched myself away from him.
(Grant)
Eve? She's moving away from me! "Eve?" I asked tiredly. She looked back before facing her head forwards and curling down… Is she… is she breaking up with me? All the signs point to it! She's slowly leaving me… I sniffed and bit my lip as a tear rolled down my cheek. I loved her so much!
(Eve)
This is for his own good… if he doesn't find out you're in heat… he can't get hurt.
(Grant)
Where… where did I go wrong?
A/N: Eve... Tell him for god sake! Grant stop jumping to conclusions... Oh forget it! :p hope you all enjoyed this chapter little bit longer than I would normally write but I think it turned out about 2/100 on the goodness scale... Yeah where do you think this'll lead? Leave a review tell me that I am a terrible author and should stop or say that I am a terrible author and say that I cannot write if my life depends on it and that I may be able to go from cow shit bad to dog shit bad. Yeah, hope you enjoyed and as always, stay cool, stay awesome and most importantly stay shocking
-Shocking Pikachu :p
