I slowly awoke to a place that smelled of burning wood and something cooking. But my mind wouldn't let me open my eyes. So I was totally surprised when I heard a familiar voice speak in Eevee.

Will she be ok? I heard Rocket say. I didn't understand the answer, however, even though I recognized the human language.

Finally, I forced my eyes open. What I saw astounded me. Rocket was sitting on a table that was placed under a window. There was a fire burning, and a big black pot on top of it. A human girl was sitting on a chair at the table, reading something in a book. I recognized one word on the front of the book, and that word was 'Eevee'.

She noticed I was awake and got up from her chair. She came over to me and sat on the bed I was on next to me.

"Hello, Eevyu. Did you know I had an Eevee with that name before? An Umbreon-destine, I believe. But all that was when I was about five. I'm fourteen now, Eevyu." She looked at me like this was significant.

I don't understand, I said quietly, and the girl smiled.

"You wouldn't. I was your father's trainer, Eevyu the second. Your father's Eevee name was Eevyu. And your mother's name was Freeya."

How do you know these things when not even WE know them? I asked hotly. The girl smiled. Only now did I notice that she looked kind of like Holly, with short red hair that fell to her shoulders. Only, Holly's eyes were green. This girl's eyes were grey.

"Because I was Eevyu's first trainer, Eevyu II (read as Eevyu the second). I am Rayaka."

You're joking! I said, springing up, but then collapsing again as pain shot through my injured leg. I saw Rocket shake his head from where he was standing.

It's no joke, Eevyu. This is Rayaka. And better yet, she's Holly's older sister. I looked to Rayaka for confirmation of this.

"Yes, I am Holly's older sister. Older by seven seconds. Yes, Eevyu, Holly and I are twins." My head was starting to spin with this information. It was just too much.

Dad'll want to know you're still alive. You can train him and Mom again. I said slowly.

"Holly's written me numerous letters about all the escaped forms...the forms that escaped from the Rocket building. Team Rocket is no longer stationed here, thank goodness." I could see that Rocket was mad at being named after something evil.

They're looking for us. Mom and Dad, and all the forms. Rocket ran when holly wouldn't tell him what he wanted to know...and I followed, I said, wincing as Rayaka removed the bandage on my leg and spread something stinging on it.

"That Arbok's no friend of mine. He belongs to my greatest enemy, Terry Laburnum. I hear he took my Pokémon after I...disappeared."

Rocket started to tell the story when there was a knock on the door. The door suddenly burst open, and the figure standing there could only be Terry Laburnum.

Anybody ever read 'Watership Down'? If you have, you'll know what the name 'Laburnum' is all about. I recently found my Keya disk so I'll get part 4 up as soon as I'm done with it! ~The Darkness Master
