Well guys, welcome back to this series. I can tell you one thing right now, this chapter alone is gonna be the saddest thing I have ever written. I wanna just point out that this may be severely long, and at the same time, severely off-time. I'm saying this because I've been posting chapters 1 month after I write them. Well, here we go.

Warning: extreme heartbreak and violence.

Sam woke up in the grass to find Rainbow Dash cuddling with her. She remembered fondly of what happened last night.

"Oh Rain," she said softly. Sam felt very thirsty, and decided it was time to get up. She got free of Rainbow Dash, who mumbled softly, but didn't wake up, and made her way to the pond. She took a few drinks of water, then looked at herself. She was shocked to discover that her rose was no longer in her hair. She felt devastated at losing the only thing left that was a reminder of her...

"Aw, that one just opened its eyes, I want it daddy!" The eevee looked in confusion at the little girl who was currently pointing at her.

"Now honey, I don't think it's right to take such a young creature away from its mother."

"But daddy!" the girl whined. The eevee started to back away, until she noticed something red in the girls hair. As the two humans argued, the eevee approached the unaware girl, and hunched down.

"Look, I don't care how much you want it, it's probably... LOOK OUT!" The eevee pounced, brushing past the girl's head, and grabbed the red object. The eevee looked at the object, smelled it, and discovered the soothing fragrance it brought.

"Oh daddy look, it likes my rose." The girl picked up the eevee, plucking the rose from its paw, and placed it in the tuff on her head. The eevee liked how gentle the girls hands were. She liked the hands, and cuddled into her arms.

"See daddy, it likes me." The man sighed and took out a Pokeball, handing it to the little girl.

"I can have it?" The man nodded his head.

"Thank you daddy!" The girl petted the eevee, causing it to purr.

"I'm gonna call you, Sam..."

[Look, I really apologize for what I am doing (the act of putting an author's note in the middle of a story), but the importance is crucial. This is specifically for all the long time psyducks (I'm looking at you Scoutfam.) I want you to pay attention to this chapter, and try to think about what importance this chapter brings. Please post what your idea is in the review. It is quite interesting what you will learn from this chapter. -emo]

"Now Sam, I need you to learn the move bite." Sam shook her head, not seeing any reason for her to learn such a move. Lucy threw up her arms in frustration.

"Three months of training, and you succeed to learn nothing, NOTHING!"

"Maybe it doesn't have to learn that move." Lucy jumped, shocked to discover that she wasn't alone.

"Who's there?" Lucy called out. Sam crotched in between Lucy's legs, scanning the area. Her eyes landed on a bush next to the tree, where she could see someone standing. She pounced and bit the human, who actually started to laugh. This greatly confused Sam, making her release and back away in fear.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Lucy asked, backing away slowly.

"That first question of yours is none of your concern, rather, I want to know who the hell you are." Both Lucy and Sam were shocked by the uptight behavior of this person. Lucy gulped, but decided it would be best to just tell the truth.

"My name is Lucy Samson, I'm daughter to David Samson, and this is my eevee, Sam." The male started to calm down, but then had a complete change of expression. He became very distressed and fell into Lucy's arms. This alarmed both trainer and Pokemon.

"Please, you need to help me and my brother. We are in trouble." Sam realized that the male was looking over Lucy's shoulder, and followed his eyes. He was looking at someone who was walking by in black clothing with what looked like an R on it. The person looked over at the two with disgust, but walked away. The male saw the person go out of sight and backed away from Lucy, with a look of relief.

"Sorry about that, I really didn't..." The male started to falter, almost looking as if he no longer knew how to stand up straight.

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked. The male tried to nod his head, but the instant he tried to pull his head up, he realized he couldn't. He felt his thoughts slip away from him as he fell over, rendering himself unconscious.

'Whoa,' thought Sam as she and Lucy rushed over to him. Sam checked for a pulse, to discover that it was very faint. Lucy took off his jacket, to discover a very deep gash in his right side.

"Oh god, oh god," Lucy mumbled, very concerned for the survival of the person in front of her. Sam's ears started to twitch, catching the noise of someone else coming from the same bush the other male had come from. Sam nudged Lucy, causing her to look up. The person in front of them was a male about Lucy's age, and wore a face of great distress.

"WHO-" Lucy began before being interrupted.

"It doesn't matter, we need to get him to a hospital." Lucy hesitated, then took out her pokeball.

"Return."

[I had a really rough night last night. I may be a little stressed over turning 18 in 7 days, I think a bit of my depression is coming back, and my horrible insomnia. I really don't want my insomnia to return, because it causes a whole load of stress. But on the lighter note, I was able to completely plan out every event in the flashback. Enjoy! -emo]

Sam felt herself emerge from her Pokeball for the first time in over a year.

"I'm so sorry Sam, I can't believe I completely forgot about you." Sam realized right then and there that Lucy could be a bad trainer at times.

"But I felt it was necessary that you meet my boyfriend." Sam slowly took in each word, realizing she had been in her Pokeball for so long, and felt utterly betrayed. She decided that she did not want anything to do with Lucy, and returned to her Pokeball...

-To be continued-

I decided it would be best if I split this chapter into two parts, since it is a long chapter. We officially have a discord for The 7th Friend, at /E79u4a8k. You can join for announcements, support, and maybe even help with the comic. Good Luck Psyducks! -emo

After Note: I just wanna point out one thing and one thing only, I finished this surprisingly faster than I thought I would. So, aye? -emo

Editors note: Hello.
