Hello everyone, I'm back with another chapter, this one will evolve the second gym battle, unlike the first one, Emily will see Ash battle. Oh a certain someone will be showing up is it either two someones or just one? You gotta read it to find out. Also here's the shoutouts for those that answered my question about Eevee(Shade)'s evolution, which is the answer is yes, he will be evolving into Umbreon, there will be no other evolution form that Shade will evolve into. Onto the shoutouts:

Shoutout to Mia: Thank you for pointing out the fact that yes, I did mention Shade's evolution form in the previous chapters, I am honestly happy that one of my readers do pay attention to the little details, your awesome. :)

Shoutout to Chocoholic202 for guessing the next form of Shade through his name.

Shoutout to Kyuubi717 for guessing Shade's evolution form

Shoutout to Guest for guessing as well.

There you have it for the shootouts, everyone, now you know that Shade will only evolve into Umbreon whenever he's ready to evolve, he will not be evolving into anything else. When he evolves? Well, I haven't really thought about it, but anyone has any suggestions? I was thinking about one of the movies or something, what do you think?

Anywho, onwards to the story, thanks for reading!

Future pairing: Emily x Ash

It was the next day that had Emily up early in the morning. The picnic she and Ash went to yesterday did not turn out well and she was currently giving him the silent treatment after he immediately started ignoring her by checking out all of the water type Pokemon suddenly popping up at the lake they were sitting by. She has a clue as to why she was behaving this way and apparently, the only feeling that came up was that she really liked Ash for some reason. What was that reason? She wasn't sure, but she knew she wasn't ready to talk to him right now, probably for the whole day, she had mentioned it to Brock that they needed to let her be for her gym battle, otherwise, she didn't think she'd be able to concentrate with Ash watching her. She knew they were too young to concern about dating people, but she reconds that could change depending on what happens and how it happens.

She got up when she heard knocking on her bedroom door. Getting up despite being in her pajamas, she went to open the door and saw that it was Brock, he looked concerned. "How are you doing Emily?" He asked her. She gave him a bit of a shaky smile. "I think I'll be okay I guess. I've never felt like this with anyone before you know? Before Shade, I never knew I could trust again. There's something you don't know Brock, but before I came to Pallet Town, I uh, I had relatives. An aunt and an uncle, they...they never really did like me. I was their punching bag for so long since I was abandoned on their doorstep when I was one, all I have ever known was hatred. Having these sudden feelings, I'm confused and it hurts, like a lot." She confessed, tears falling out of her eyes. Brock had a solemn look to his face and he wondered maybe he had pushed it too soon for them to go on by themselves just for lunch. He wrapped an arm around Emily's shoulder and pulled her into a one-armed hug. "Come on, let's go get your pokemon Em, maybe they can help you feel a bit better than what I can do okay?" He suggested. She shakily nodded into the hug and they walked down to meet with Nurse Joy.

Since Emily was too upset to speak, which Nurse Joy had spotted, became concerned and look at Brock. He shook his head and mouthed later, which nurse Joy nodded in agreement. "Can we get her Pokemon, please? Let her Eevee out at least." He asked her and she nodded. Emily spotted all six of her Pokeballs and Shade waiting for her. He was wagging his tail at the sight of her and she almost burst into tears right then. Brock leaned into her ear. "Not here Em, wait until your alone with your Pokemon." Brock gently told her. Emily gave a shaky breath and nodded, she grabbed her Pokeballs and held them into her hands while Shade watched her in concern. "Eevee?" He asked her. Knowing what he was asking her, Emily just shook her head no and she wrapped him up in a hug, putting her face into his brown fur. Shade just let his human hold onto him, knowing something was bothering her and decided to wait until his team is out with them to find out what's wrong with her.

Getting a calm breath, Emily turned to Brock. "I'll be in my room okay?" She said to him and he nodded to her. Walking away, Emily made it to her room and locked her door. Shade was still in her arms when she took everyone out of their balls. Her Pokemon looked at her as though they were waiting for something. Emily took on a shaky breath, tears falling out of her eyes and down her cheeks and she slid down to the floor with her back leaned onto the door. Her Pokemon looked at each other concerned. They never saw their human this upset before, she was normally so clear-headed with a goal to get to. Phoenix immediately told them all to huddle around her, give her whatever comfort they could give her like she would have done the same to them.

But then slowly something started to give way as they huddled together. It felt almost as though it was physical and everyone realized it was coming from Emily, their human. Emily looked up when she felt her pokemon starring at her and saw what looked to be like a force field surrounding them and suddenly her memories burst forth through her and her team. They saw everything, the night she was born, how happy her parents were, then a year later, they were killed by protecting her from a mad man and a group of weird-looking people leaving her on a doorstep in the middle of the night, talking about a magic world and children knowing her through stories and then they saw how she had been raised, disgust filtering through them at how badly they used and abused her than a fire looking bird approached with the stone that was currently around Shade's neck(soothe bell) and finally meeting Professor Oak and Shade in a pretty meadow and her meeting Ash and Phoenix and so on. Then that force field that surrounded them suddenly glowed, and everyone realized it was Emily's magic and infused in all of them and each one started hearing voices inside their mind.

Emily was literally blown away at what was happening. Having seen her memories along with her Pokemon, she now knew why her Aunt and Uncle had hated her so much, it was because she was magic, they feared and hated that she was so different from them and then there was her aunt's jealousy that had turned from bad to worse by raising her, it was no wonder how they hated her. But in the end, she was glad it happened that way, cause if that firebird hadn't shown up and brought her to this world, she probably would have been dead, she was so close to just giving up, she had no clue on what she was going to do when her uncle had left her on the side of the road beaten and broken in. But she had her team and her friends, she couldn't ask for a better ending. And her magic, it was like she could hear her Pokemon, almost as though she could understand them. Deciding to try and talk to them, she spoke. "Hi." And everyone almost started talking all at once before she started to calm them down.

"Em, are you okay?" A soft almost boyish voice sounded out and she turned only to see that it was Shade that had spoken and tears started falling out again before she could stop them and she hugged her partner into her. "I will be." She said quietly and in the end, they just kept quiet and cuddled up against the door.

THE NEXT DAY:

Ash Ketchum stood in the Pokemon Center worry with a bit of guilt eating at his chest. He hadn't meant to, just seeing all kinds of different Pokemon while they were in the middle of a picnic, he got all excited and he couldn't stand still as much. Brock had told him that Emily didn't feel good and she just got her Pokemon and went up to her bedroom they rented out while they were there.

Hearing footsteps, he turned and saw Emily standing there, surrounded by her Pokemon like she normally does, but for some reason, they seem closer than they were before. "Emily are you okay?" He asked her worriedly. She just gave him a shaky smile. "Just give me some time Ash and I will be okay?" She asked him and he just quietly nodded and Pikachu jumped up to his shoulder with a curious coo. Emily just smiled almost mysteriously before she stepped up to him, her gaze turned challenging. "Are you ready for that second gym badge Ash?" She said and Ash just gave her a wide smile and tilted his hat at her. "You bet!" He said causing Emily to smirk in response and her Pokemon all called out, ready for a good fight.

I'm going to stop right here everyone, the second battle will be featured in the next chapter but I'm taking my time with these chapters now since I have too much time on my hands anyway since I'm not working and whatnot. I am actually currently creating a new story plan to try and get my muse back for writing and I really hope it'll work out since I've been paying attention to the characters. The new story I'm working on creating is a Harry Potter and The Walking Dead crossover. Harry here will be female, born and all that jazz as female. She'll be a redhead instead of a brunette, she'll have her normal emerald green eyes and such. Right now I am stuck between three characters I could pair her up romantic wise and all. I've taken consideration into each character with the help of a friend and so far I got three picked out but can't decide on one. Let me know what you guy thinks I should do, I will be making a voting poll that'll be put up on my profile page so go vote on there. The guy's I have considered are Daryle Dixon, Merle Dixon, and Big Tiny. Why Merle you may ask? For those that did watch all of "The Walking Dead" know Merle is a bit of a redneck jerk to put it politely for the youngsters reading this, but from what I have seen, Merle has a rule and that rule is he puts family first and protects them first and foremost. That is the most redeeming thing that even made me consider him in the first place. Let me know your opinion folk's, hoping everyone is taking care during this harsh time.
