It went on that way for a long time, me never battling, Jason abusing me for it. Every once in a while, I though of escaping, but thinking of my fate if I tried stopped me fast. In fact, because we stayed in Celadon City, it was Doroundo who alerted me of my problem.
It's been almost a year since I met you, Moonshine, he said softly one night.
WHAT?!?!?! A YEAR!!! I've gotta get home to Rocket-to Fireblast-Doroundo, I'm leaving.
What? Leaving? Then I'm going with you!
You can't. Jason will get rid of us both if you come, too.
I don't care, I'm coming anyway. My mind flashed back to words from the past.
*We have to leave, and we will, said Fireblast, and I agreed. But we shall go separate ways. However, in one year, we shall return here, bringing with us whatever family we may have. This was announced to the entire 'colony', as I now called it. And they all cheered.*
Ok then, come. Tarat! I called into the darkness. His head poked out from a clump of bushes. You're part of my family, too, Tarat. I've gotta go back...back where I came from. Doroundo's going, and I want you to come too.
Coming, oh fearless leader, he said, laughter in his voice. We set off into the night, heading back to my old home, back to Mom, Dad, Rayaka, Holly...and hopefully Fireblast.
Moonshine? Is that you?? It's impossible! I heard a familiar voice say. Looking ahead, I saw an Espeon on the path, a very familiar-looking Espeon.
Evafey? Is that you, sis? You evolved! I cried happily. We'd been traveling most of the night.
Yes, and I'm not Evafey anymore. My evolved name is Evspyna. Who're your companions, Moonshine?
This is Doroundo and Tarat, sis. They're...well...they're my family. My NEW family, anyway. Is-
Yes, Fireblast is here, along with a few startling friends of his own, she said, and she led us to the clearing I remembered racing Fireblast through so many times when we were younger. I saw him right away.
Fireblast! I called. It's me! Moonshine! He turned, and excitement filled his face.
Moonshine! I thought you'd...decided not to come or...been captured or...
I was. Captured, I mean. But I knew I had to come back. Where's the rest of the family?
Inside, mostly. You know, those other eggs hatched. Two Jolteon-destines. Both girls. And everyone but them has evolved, too. Eyvan is Berevo and Eyavit is Vemisy. I nodded, making a mental note to remember that.
Then I remembered the others. Fireblast, this is Doroundo the Houndour and Tarat the Rattata. They're my 'family' I promised I'd bring back.
Well, this is my 'family', Fireblast said, motioning to an Oddish, a Murkrow, and a Vulpix. Dushilo the Oddish, Bernuri the Vulpix, and- I cut him off, recognition hitting me full force.
Yamiko the Murkrow, I said just above a whisper. Yamiko bowed, in the way of his Dark-type half.
Hello again, Moonshine, he said cheerfully.
Hello AGAIN? Sister, I think you've got some explaining to do, my brother said, and I nodded.
Inside, I said, and they followed me into the house I thought I'd never see again.
So I left my trainer in Celadon and came back with Doroundo and Tarat, I finished. Fireblast'd already told about the adventures HE'D had in Fuchsia City and the Safari Zone. And HE wasn't the property of an abusive trainer. But I'd left out the abuse part in my story, not liking the idea of my parents' reactions, or my siblings'.
Fireblast looked like he was about to say something, but Hayveera (my other Espeon-sister)'s large ears perked up, and she stared hard at the door.
Someone's coming! she cried in alarm.

Suspenseful, no? Sorry about the whole year-passing-in-a-paragraph thing, but all the important stuff happens AFTER Moonshine gets back home. ~The Darkness Master
