Lily started the battle with a Tackle whilst Flare countered with a Tail Whip. Next
Flare used Quick Attack, knocking Lily off her feet. Lily got up quickly and used Vine
Whip, sending Flare flying into a tree. Flare hit the tree but landed on her feet. She was
panting, obviously tiring. Lily smiled, she knew that Flare had thought she could win
because of the type advantage. It looked like she was wrong.
'You're good,' Flare commented, 'But not good enough!' She leapt at Lily and used
Quick Attack again. This time Lily was ready and she jumped out of the way.
'Tricky are we? Well check out this trick!' Lily waved her sweet smelling leaf in the
air. A pleasent aroma filled the air. It made me forget about everything - the battle,
why I was there - everything was sort of hazy. It was like I was in a dream. This was
one of Lily's attacks - Sweet Scent. Then suddenly I snapped out of it. Flare hadn't
though. Lily saw her chance and used Tackle. This time the attack hit and Flare
stumbled backwards and snapped out of it. Lily had another chance to attack so she
used Razor Leaf. The leaves hit their mark and Flare was hurt badly, but she was still
determined not to lose. As Flare was about to use what looked like Ember, something
hit her forehead.
'Ouch!' Flare gasped. I knew that it wasn't one of Lily's attacks because I didn't see
her move at all. What had actually hit Flare on the head was rain.
'It's raining!' I yelled. I had lived around these parts long enough to know that when it
started raining, it wouldn't stop at a few drops. Lily seemed to realise the danger too.
'We have to get to that shelter!' Lily called to me. She was right. We did have to get
to shelter, and we would have to hurry.
'Let's go.' I called to the others. I ran out of the clearing, the others followed close
behind. We ran quickly up the path and towards the gully. It was raining heavier now
and the gully, which was not very deep, had almost filled with water. The three of us
ran up to the bridge which was further along the side of the gully. Flare went first,
running quickly across. She really hated the rain. What I didn't notice at that time was
that a couple of the planks on the bridge creeked unsteadily as Flare ran across. Lily
went next, also hurrying across the bridge to the other side. The water was almost up
to the bridge now and I would have to be careful crossing. As I quickly ran across the
bridge to join the others, the creeky planks gave through and I fell. The bridge was too
slippery for me too hold onto so I fell into the water below. I tried to call out to the
others for help, but it just came out as a sputter. I tried swimming, but the current was
too strong. This was the end, I knew it. My journey hadn't even lasted four hours and
this was the end of me. I wished now that I had already made the choice and evolved
into a Vaporeon. I bet Showerz could swim against this sort of current. I felt the
current push me under the water and I couldn't breathe. Then I blacked out.
(P.O.V. Change)
'Come on!' I coaxed her, 'I wanna go for a swim already.'
'I don't know, I don't really like the water much.' She replied. I walked over to her
and started pushing her in the direction of the river.
'Come on Lila, it won't hurt, it's just a little water.' I told her. She finally gave in.
'Oh, alright.' Lila sighed, 'But just a quick dip, we have to get back for tea remember.'
I rolled my eyes at her.
'Yes mum.' I said sarcastically. She frowned at me.
'Come on, be serious now. I'm your big sister and mother said you have to respect me.
So when I say it's time to go, WE GO. Okay.' She smiled at me innocently.
Giving up the little battle that had begun between us I said, 'Jeez, alright alright, your
the boss.'
'Kino,' Before she could give me another lecture, I got in first.
'I was being serious, now come on, lets go for a swim.' I said, racing off in the
direction of the gully. Lila sighed then ran after me. Soon enough we reached the river,
but I wasn't going to be going for a swim for the hell of it yet. As Lila caught up to me
I spotted something floating down the river. It looked like an Eevee! It struggled to
keep its head above the water and it tried to say something but a wave suddenly
pushed it under and sort of blacked out.
'Lila, you wait here and I'll go get it.' I told her. She looked as if she was about to say
something really responsible like "No, you could get hurt." or "You'll get swept away,
leave it to me." then get swept away herself, but she didn't she just said, 'Be careful.' I
nodded then quickly dived into the water. The current was strong but it was nothing a
water type Totodile couldn't handle. I swam over to the Eevee and grabbed her round
the chest, under the front legs in one hand and swam with my legs and the other hand.
This was harder, seeing I was swimming against the current rather than with it. I finally
reached the shore though. Tired, I pulled the Eevee out of the water and Lila
preformed E.A.R on her.
'She's still breathing,' Lila informed me, 'but she's lucky to still be alive!' Lila and I
carried the Eevee back home. When we got to the burrow, our mother came to meet
us.
'Oh, thank goodness you're back I was so wo..' She trailed of at the site of the Eevee.
'Oh my, you better bring her inside quickly.' The three of us carefully carried the
Eevee inside the burrow. Then mum turned to us.
'I think I'm intitled to an explanation, don't you. I told you two to be back ages ago.'
She said sternly.
'Uh, we lost track of time?' I tried. Mum frowned at me.
'I suppose I'll let you both of this time. Now you two help me get a bed set up for the
Eevee.' She said walking off down another passage.
'Wow!' I said to Lila, 'I thought we were gonna get a blasting!' This only earned me a
wack over the head.
'You maybe.' Lila said angrily. With that, she walked off to help mum. I guessed I had
to help too. I sighed angry at myself, then walked of to go help.
Flare used Quick Attack, knocking Lily off her feet. Lily got up quickly and used Vine
