It was while we were in Mahogany Town that I saw him again. Yamiko the Murkrow. Keya and her friend Simon were out in the actual town. I was at one of the Darkness Masters' shelters, resting in a back room.
Hello there, Moonshine. What brings you to my old nesting place? he asked curiously.
I thought you were from Celadon, I muttered.
Oh, no, I'm from Mahogany. I travel around, though. In fact, it was your brother that sent me after you in Celadon in the first place, and it is he who sends me looking for you now. And it seems I have found you. Tell me, child of the legend, what DOES bring you here?
My old trainer, Jason, now Keya's enemy. And a girl's birthday party. It's been a long time since I've been called Moonshine, or anything but Umbreon, really.
Hmm? You haven't told that girl your name yet? But WHY? Do you WANT your past to be a secret from her?
Well, no, but it's never seemed important that she know my name, or Doroundonishi's.
Doruondonishi?
Doroundo's evolutionary name. Houndour, when they evolve, add to their original name. They don't change it completely like we Eevee forms do. But then, they don't become a whole different type of pokémon.
Yes. There's a word I've heard used to describe your 'forms'. The humans say 'Eeveelutions'.
I'll have to tell Keya someday. But what does Fireblast send you for?
To see how you are doing. He says you can find him at your old house by Saffron City if you wish to go looking. And this girl...Keya, is it? Hmm. Almost like 'Key'.
That's it! I cried, jumping up.
What's it? asked Yamiko, clearly puzzled.
Key! Keya's name! It's the human called 'Key' from your legend, Yamiko! Thanks for reminding me! He turned to go. As annoying as he could be, I was sad to see him go.
Remember, Moonshine, you have a name. Maybe it's time you told your Key the rest of the legend. And with that, he left.
The words were pushed out of my mind for a long time. In fact, it wasn't until one day, on Cinnabar Island, when I heard Keya call her baby Eevee 'Eve', which was her name, that I remembered Yamiko's words as he left.
*Remember, Moonshine, you have a name. Maybe it's time you told your Key the rest of the legend.*
It wasn't until we were flying for the Indigo Plateau on her Pidgeot that I finally got up the courage to say it.
"I have a name, you know," I whispered, but it seemed that I'd spoken too quietly for Keya to hear me.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Well? Both of my latest stories in either series leave off at this point. I think it's interesting to see things from Moonshine's view, though. I'm going to write Fireblast's story next. See you when! ~The Darkness Master
