I slowly and painfully regained consciousness to find that I was laying on something soft. And my wounds were bandaged.

Where am I? I asked, not expecting to get an answer.

Umbayvee? Umbayvee, you're awake! I heard Flarey say. I opened my eyes further and saw her sitting at the bottom of the bed on which I lay.

Freeya... I muttered, still half-asleep. But then my memory took over. Flarey. Where are we?

In a human house, Eevyu, she said, using my Eevee name. The human girl here said we could stay with her for the rest of out lives if we wanted. She's an Eevee trainer and breeder. We'd be right at home here.

What...happened to me? After the Rockets...after I collapsed...how did you get here?

Espin and Psyveya used what power they had to psychically carry you. Those who made it out trekked through the woods for a while, but then we found a meadow and this house. We were all exhausted, and the girl understood immediately when Espin explained. She took care of all of us, but we didn't think you...

How long have we been here, Flarey?

About a week. Everyone agreed that it's your choice whether we stay or not. I didn't really need to think it over. I knew what I had to decide.

We stay, Freeya. We have a home now, and no one can take it from us. She nodded and headed out an open door, and was petted by a human as she entered.

"Hello Umbayvee. Glad to see you're up," she said. I wanted to know ow she knew my name, but didn't think she'd understand me if I asked. "Your friend Psyveya told me your name. In case you wanted to know. And I know you've decided to stay, and I'm glad. Too many people now know what Team Rocket was doing. By the way, my name is Holly." Holly left the room after placing a bowl filled with water on the bed next to me.

An Eevee by the name of Eyve ran in and almost ran into the bed. Yes, Eyve? I asked. He jumped up onto the bed.

Everyone's real glad you're awake, he said softly.

Who's left, Eyve? Who made it out of the building?

The Eevees left are me, Estevy, Vesin, Vusivee, and Javeya. Jolteons are Zapovy, Shovees, and Veyacka. Flareons are Flarey, Fireves, Lithera, Sparayi, and Golevay. Vaporeons are Waveti, Misteyvee, Dervoya, and Splasaya. Espeons are Espin, Psyveya, and Comeevay. And the only Umbreon is you.

There weren't nearly as many of us as when we'd been held in Rocket prison. But I was glad that there were so many. Eyve left then, and I dropped back off to sleep.
