Rika was just looking at herself in the mirror as Dash rang the doorbell outside. Rika was wearing a green top and a white miniskirt. She had on a pair of red boots and green gloves. She then tied her hair into a loose ponytail. Eve then climbed onto Rika's head as Rika walked out of her room. She made her way downstairs and then headed towards the front door. "Coming!" Rika said as she pulled open the door, "Good morning, Dash!" Dash was wearing white jacket, which he left unbuttoned, revealing the black t-shirt underneath. He had on a pair of blue jeans and black shoes with red linings. He wore black fingerless gloves. "I'm ready to go now!"
"Great," Dash said, smiling, "We should get going to catch the train. We should be able to get there before it leaves for Cerulean. And if I could, I'd really wanna face Edgar in another Pokemon Battle! He'd make one great sparring partner!"
Rika chuckled. 'Dash is acting just like a little kid,' Rika thought, a smile on her face, 'Looks like he's more focused knowing that he now has a rival. He's so predicatable at times.' "Let's go then!" Rika said, "The sooner we get there, the sooner we'll meet Edgar! But at least let us enjoy ourselves first at the festival!"
"Right!" Dash said, putting a thumbs-up, "Let's have some fun there for a change! We often have time to talk with eachother in school anyway." Rika paused for a while and then smiled. "Well then! Let's go!"
'That's right...' Rika thought, 'We don't have time to see eachother much these days in school... Not just because our class is far from eachother, also because we now have many work to do. Now I could understand why Roy hardly had the time to talk to us last year. So days like today are rare.'
--- (Cerulean Pokemon School) ---
"Wow!" Rika cried as they arrived at the school, "So this is the Cerulean Pokemon School!" The school looked exactly like the Pokemon School back in Pallet Town, except the school building was painted blue instead of white. There was a fountain in front of the school where Rika could see some Water Pokemon playing in it. "It looks so nice! Its like a place a girl could ever dream of!"
"That's because the one running this school IS a female," Dash pointed out, "I heard she also used to be a Gym Leader in the past. I think her name's Misty or something like that... Eh?" However, Rika was already gone when Dash turned towards where she stood. "What the?" He then saw Rika playing with a Jigglypuff, with Eve on its head. Dash chuckled. "Rika is surely good with Pokemon."
"Goodbye, Jigglypuff!" Rika said as she waved at the Jigglypuff walking away, "It's so cute!" Just then, a tall figure towered over and shadowed her. She turned around and saw Aisha wearing a white kimono. "Aisha? What are you doing here? And... what are you wearing?"
"This?" Aisha asked, "Oh, this is just the clothes I wear for my part-time job here!"
"'Part-time job'?" Dash asked, "Whatever happened to your job at the restaurant?"
"I decided to quit when you people quit!" Aisha pointed out, "I never liked that place very much anyway! I'm currently looking for another job now. My job here is just temporary."
"So what is your new job, Aisha?" Rika asked, "Does it have anything to do with selling anything?"
"OH yeah!" Aisha exclaimed happily, "It's something you would like, Rika!" Aisha then went closer to Rika and then whispered to her, "I'm selling fortunes to girls. But not juct any normal fortunes... I'm talking about LOVE fortunes! If you want to know your relationship with your love interest... I have your fortune! So what about it, Rika? Wanna try seeing what your relationship with Dash be like in the future?"
Rika blushed furiously. "W-What are you saying!" Rika fidgeted, "I-I don't believe in those kind of things!"
"We have an Esper Pokemon predicting it," Aisha whispered to Rika again, "Their predictions are 100 accurate! I can give you a discount... Just for you, my cute lil' friend! Don't you wanna know if you and Dash will be 'lovey-dovey' in the future?"
"What are you two whispering about there?" Dash asked, "So what IS your new job, Aisha?"
"Nothing!" Aisha exclaimed at Dash, "I need to have a little talk with Rika for a while! Go and... do some guy thing or something! Have a Pokemon Battle or something! Just go away!"
Dash sweat-dropped. 'Harsh...' Dash thought as he walked away, 'Oh well... I WAS looking for Edgar for a rematch.' And with that, Dash walked away.
"Well, he's gone!" Aisha said, before grabbing Rika by the wrist, "C'mon then! To the Love Fortune Booth!" And with that, Aisha dragged Rika away.

Pip was currently walking by itself while Dash ran off to find Edgar. Arcdash was just sitting against a tree, which Pip approached. Pip then stood next to Arcdash. "(Are you just going to sleep all day?)" Pip asked in Pokemon language, "(C'mon! I wanna go places! I wanna meet new Pokemon! I wanna challenge more Powerful Pokemon like P.K! C'mon, Arcdash!)" But Arcdash just curled itself into a ball - Pip sweat-dropped. "(You're not going anywhere, are you? Its not everytime we have an episode for ourselves, you know!)"
"(I'm sleepy...)" Arcdash yawned, "(Can't you go by yourself?)"
"(Think of the readers!)" Pip spat, "(They don't wanna read about you sleeping the whole day!)" Unfortunately, Arcdash had already went to sleep. Pip sighed. "(Oh well... I better walk by myself then...)" Just then, Pip saw a familiar Pokemon chasing a Butterfree. "(Eve! What are you doing here? Where's your trainer?)"
"(Hm?)" Eve asked, spotting Pip, "(Pip! Oh, my trainer? She was dragged into some king of booth and she told me to walk around until she's done... What happened to Dash?)"
"(He ran off looking for Edgar...)" Pip sweat-dropped, "(Hey! Why don't we go together? I'm itching for some adventures! So what do you say, Eve?)"
"(Okay!)" Eve replied, "(So... Where do you suppose we go?)"
"(Uh... Why not walk around until we find something interesting?)"
"(Hey there!)" a voice called out to them, "(I've never seen you Pokemon here before!)" Pip and Eve turned around and saw a female Vaporeon, the evolved form of Eevee by the use of a Water Stone, and a male Umbreon, the night-time evolved form of Eevee. "(Hi there! We're the 'Eevolution Twins'! Did you two come here for the festival? I'm Vaporea, and this is my twin brother Umbre!)"
"(Guess your trainers ran off somewhere too, huh?)" Umbre asked, "(Humans and festivals... Go figure... So who are you guys?)"
"(EXCUSE ME?)" Eve grunted, "(I'M a female Eevee!)"
"(Ah... an Eevee...)" Vaporea sighed, "(I remember myself when I was an Eevee... I've always wanted to swim in the ocean, but my trainer would always go worry about my fur being wet... But she decided to evolve me into a Vaporeon! Now I can swim whenever I like! Umbre's dream was to become the Psychic powerhouse Espeon!)"
Pip and Eve sweat-dropped as they turned towards Umbre. "(But he's an Umbreon)." both said in unison.
"(That's because my trainer got mixed up on the time of day I would evolve into an Espeon!)" Umbre spat, "(I was to evolve into an Espeon under the sun's energy, but my good-for-nothing trainer evolved me during the night! Now I'm a Dark type Pokemon instead of a Psychic Pokemon!)"
Pip and Eve sweat-dropped. "(My name's Eve!)" Eve said, "(And this is my good friend Pip!)"
"(Hi!)" Pip exclaimed, "(I'm a Furret who loves battling and adventures! And that's Arcdash...)" Pip then pointed at the sleeping Sandshrew under the tree nearby. "(Mind him... He loves sleeping...)"
"(I have an idea!)" Umbre said, "(Let's visit that haunted house they built here for the festival! Me and Vaporea were on our way there just now! I don't know the idea of female Pokemons going into a haunted house though... Those kind of places are just for us males, right Pip?)"
"(You got that right!)" Pip exclaimed, "(Guys are braver!)"
Vaporea and Pip sighed. '(Guys and their personalities...)' both female Pokemon thought in unison.
--- (Haunted House) ---
Pip, Eve, Vaporea and Umbre were now in the haunted house built by the Cerulean Pokemon School students. Most of the ghosts and ghouls there were played by humans while some were exactly played by Ghost Pokemons like Haunters and Gengars. They were just making their way along the spooky hallway when all of a sudden, Eve refused to go on. "(I don't wanna go on with this!)" Eve cried, "(I wanna go back to Rika! This place is scary!)"
Pip sighed. "(Well, YOU wanted to come along)," Pip pointed out, "(Vaporea's not that scared and she's a girl just like you. Looks like we'll have to go back to the entrance...)"
"(I'm not scared as long as a powerful Pokemon like you with me, Pip!)" Vaporea said, leaning closer to Pip, "(Umbre's strong too, but that's because he's a Dark type Pokemon now! You're the bravest Pokemon I know, Pip!)"
Eve sucked in her cheeks as she watched Vaporea moving closer to Pip. Eve then suddenly stood between the two. "(I'm not scared at all anymore!)" Eve said, "(I can go on! Let's go, Pip!)"
"(Huh?)" Pip asked, "(Oh, sure)." And with that, Eve dragged Pip further into the hallway.
Vaporea giggled. '(What a cute Pokemon couple they'd make!)' she thought, '(I wonder if their trainers behave the same way... They say we'll start to act like our trainers after spending many times with eachother... Oh well!)' "(Hey!)" Vaporea cried, "(Wait up! Eh?)" She then felt a strange presence behind her. She thought it was Umbre at first, but he was in front of her! "(P-Pip! E-Eve!)" Vaporea cried nervously, "(W-What's standing behind me? I-It's one of those Ghost Pokemon, isn't it?)"
"(Huh?)" Pip asked, "(What are you talking about? I didn't sense any--- AH!)" Pip, Eve and Umbre turned around and to their suprise, they saw a girl with long white hair and purple eyes. She wore a white dress. Pip and Eve felt shivers down their spines as the girl smiled at them. "(Ack! I-It's you! Felcia!)"
"Hi there!" Felcia greeted, "It's been a long time since I appeared in this story!" Felcia then bent over and hugged Vaporea, who was now shivering from fear. "I can't believe there are so many CUTE Pokemon in front of my eyes! I thought this place would only be crawling with Ghost Pokemon! This Vaporeon's so cute that I could just eat her up!"
"(P-Please don't!)" Vaporea flustered, still shivering, "(I don't taste good!)"
"And who do we have here!" Felcia squeeled, spotting Eve, "It's so long since I last saw you, my cute 'lil Eve! You look so much cuter than the last time I saw you! Come and give Felcia a hug!"
"(N-No!)" Eve shuttered, "(I-I don't want my soul sucked by a ghost!)"
"Don't be silly!" Felcia said, "I'm not gonna bite!" She then laid her eyes at Pip. "KYAA! Pip, you're so big and you look so much fluffy now! I just can't wait to put my arms around you!"
Pip sweat-dropped. '(F-Fluffy...?)' Pip thought.
"Come here and give sister Felcia a BIG hug!" Felcia exclaimed with open arms, "Don't be shy now!"
"(ACK!)"

Dash was looking for Pip when he couldn't find Edgar anywhere. He then saw Rika and Aisha walking towards him. "Rika! Aisha!" Dash called, "There you are! Have you seen Pip?"
"D-Dash!" Rika flustered, flushing furiously, "N-No! I-I haven't!"
"Where were you anyway?"
"N-No where special!" Rika flushed more furiously than before as she clutched a piece of paper in her hand.
"So do you believe in my fortune-telling now?" Aisha whispered to Rika, "It IS 100 accurate, you know!" Rika flushed again. Just then, Aisha saw Pip and Eve in the distance. "Hey! There're Pip and Eve!" Aisha then went over to the two Pokemon. "Eh?" Aisha then felt odd as seeing the Pokemons' faces were pale white. "What happened to you two? You two look like you've seen a ghost..."
"Furret..." Pip muttered. It then looked up and saw Aisha, but Aisha's clothes reminded Pip and Eve of a certain ghost girl instead. "Furret!" And with that, Pip and Eve ran off again.
"Eve!" Rika cried, "What's wrong!" And with that, Dash and Rika ran after their Pokemon.
Rika then accidentally dropped the piece of paper she was holding. Aisha sighed and then picked up the paper. 'Looks like she dropped her love fortune...' Aisha thought, 'Dash should have seen the look on her face when she read it!' Aisha then took a look at the fortune, which had the words written 'Meant for eachother'. Aisha chuckled as she walked away from the scene. 'They'd make such a cute couple one day!'
-----------------
FazzEagle: There will be one day when Pokemon will triumphant over humans and take over this whole fanfic story... Huh? Oh! I was just talking to myself! Yes... Let's go with that... Anyway, I'll be beginning to write some chapters that have the Pokemons as the main characters! I figured that Pip, Eve and the other Pokemon need a time to shine too! And their story are the only ones where you'd understand what they're actually talking about! This time, I'll be accepting Pokemon characters! Note that they would most probably only appear in Pokemon's POV chapters. But sending submissions of them are a lot simpler than sending a trainer's info! Here are the only things you should include:
-The Pokemon's Name -The Pokemon's Gender -The Pokemon's Type and Element -The Pokemon's Personality -And if you like, you could also make the Pokemon like another Pokemon or something (Whoopee! Pokemon love!).
And there you go! That's all you need! Well then, FazzEagle signing off! Don't be shy on sending your characters! Who knows, I might put your characters into a much more bigger role in the story (Take Edgar Knight or Tomo for example). Okay then! See ya, and don't forget to send me more reviews!"
