'YOU' Flare screamed. I looked around, I saw some Grimer stealing things from
shops, the windows smashed, and things broken. There in the middle of the street,
giving orders was a large Meganium. He spotted Flare and smiled evilly.
'Now this is a surprise.' He said. 'I thought you were dead. And you've brought some
friends. How cute.'
'Dead? What's going on Flare?' I asked her. Some of the Grimer grabbed us, holding
us back.

(P.O.V. Change)

'My name is Bloom. Me and Flare are old acquaintances. We met along time ago,
when I was just a Chikorita. Flare and I were very good friends.' Bloom laughed.
Suddenly something happened to me. Everything was coming back.

'Come on you two.' I said.
'I'm coming,' another young Vulpix said, 'its Bloom that's taking forever.' I turned to
help Bloom the Chikorita up the rocky hill.
'Thanks Flare.' He said smiling.
'I know. Lets play hide and seek!' The other Vulpix said.
'Okay, Flame, Bloom can be it.' I said.
'Alright. Let's go, no peeking now.' Flame said. We ran off in the same direction.
Soon the path split in two. I went to the right and Flame went to the left.
Bloom soon came up to the split in the road. He thought for a moment then went to
the right. I had hidden in some bushes on the side of the road. Bloom suddenly looked
to the right and saw six tails duck behind a tree. Bloom smiled, but pretended not to of
seen anything. He walked slowly up to the tree, looking around. Bloom suddenly
jumped behind the tree and landed on top of Me.
'Gotcha!' He said triumphantly, pinning me down.
'Hey, come on, get off.' I said pushing him away. 'Have you found my sister yet?' I
asked.
'Not yet, we'll find her together.' Bloom said. We walked back the way we had come
and then down the left side.
'She didn't go into the forest did she?' I asked worriedly. Bloom shrugged. He walked
to the edge of the forest and looked in.
'FLAME?' He called. There was no answer. I gulped. My mother had always told me
not to go in the forest, there was supposedly a pack of viscous pokemon that lived
there. I entered, Bloom entered too.
'Let's go through the trees.' Flare said. He unleashed Vine Whip and grabbed a
branch. Flare grabbed Bloom around the waist and they flew up towards the branch.
He grabbed another branch and we swung from branch to branch. We stopped on a
low branch and spotting Flame, Bloom called out to her. She looked up and yelled to
us. Suddenly she looked at something and squealed. I looked down. There was a
viscous looking Houndoom standing in front of Flame. She prickled up her fur and
growled at the Houndoom. He didn't seem at all impressed.
'Flame!' I yelled. 'Bloom, we have to save her!' I said frantically. Bloom looked at me.
He grabbed me in his vines and tossed me to the ground.
'Seeya later.' He said evilly. 'Or maybe not.' He laughed and swung into the forest.
'No.' I whispered. The Houndoom and Houndour surrounded the two sisters. I
growled. Then something caught my eye. In a gap between two Houndour there was a
very low branch. It lead upwards to a higher one. Then to the entrance of the forest
and down again. No Houndour or Houndoom could make it but it looked possible for
a flexible Vulpix.
'This way.' I yelled to Flame. I made a wild dash between the two Houndour and
towards the tree.
'GET THEM!' The Houndoom ordered. The Houndour pack ran after the two Vulpix
who ran to the tree. The branch looked higher from up close but they could make it. I
was ahead of Flame, and I jumped with all my might and managed to just grab the
branch. I pulled herself up as quick as she could. Flame was running up to her at top
speed. The Houndour were right on her tails. As she reached the tree, she jumped as
high as she could. I just managed too grab her paw. I tried to pull her up but it was too
late. The Houndour grabbed her tails. Flame looked up at me, tears in her eyes. I gave
it everything I had, I wouldn't let them take Flame. I was fighting back tears now too.
'I won't let them take you Flame.' I said straining. I knew I was out matched, it wasn't
a very fair fight, one very young Vulpix against about twenty older Houndour. It was
too much for me to take. Flame's paw slipped out of mine and the Houndour pulled
her to the ground.
'FLAME' I yelled.
'FLARE' She yelled back. Flare couldn't stand it. I didn't want to see my sister be
killed. I ran off the way I had planned for us to go. I jumped from branch to branch,
and eventually out of the forest. I stopped there and looked back into the forest. Flare
cried and cried, felling only sorrow for the loss of her sister. Then I felt a jolt of
something else. Hate. Hate towards Bloom. I stopped crying now, and looked up at
the sky. I swore revenge against Bloom and the Houndour. I would avenge Flame one
day...

Then I stopped remembering what happened. Everything from then till now seemed
cloudy. It was clouded by hate. It was the same hate I felt for Bloom the night my
sister died. I started to cry the memory was too painful too think about. I looked up at
Bloom slowly. He smiled. He wouldn't be for long though.
'I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!' I yelled at him. I rushed forward at him, blinded by
my own tears. He dodged easily. It was surprising for a pokemon of Bloom's size. I
stopped and charged again. He also dodged again. This was useless. I wiped away my
tears. That was better, I could see properly now. I fired an accurate Ember attack at
him. Instead of dodging, he blocked it. Bloom simply put his tail in front of the
oncoming fire. The fire hit his tail. He was completely unharmed! I looked at him in
disbelief. He was strong now, stronger then before. Bloom unleashed a Razor Leaf at
me. I dodged some of the leaves, but there was too many and I was hit hard. I
stumbled back but kept on my feet. I had to think positive. He may of gotten stronger
but I had too. I could beat him, I knew it. I'd do it for Flame. My sister. My best
friend. I was filled with rage. I let out a huge, loud Roar. Bloom cringed at the sound,
but I rushed at him quickly and used Take Down. I hit him with all I had. He fell and
landed on his back. He got straight back up! I fell down, to tired to fight any more. He
walked over to me.
'Time to say good bye Flare. 'I couldn't belief it. That was all I had. Well, that's what
I thought. I could do it. I knew I could. I had to believe in myself. And I did.
'FLARE.' Lily called out. Just like Flame did before she died. I could hear Flame's last
words repeated over and over again, circling in my head. I saw her again, calling out to
me, getting pulled back by the Houndour, calling my name, crying. I suddenly let out a
ear piercing scream. Bloom backed of slightly. A knew power formed inside me. I
stood up again. My eyes started to glow a fiery red. A red aura formed around me and
turned into flames. Bloom backed off, looking shocked. The flames grew and encased
me. They started spinning and grew even more. I was just a big ball of fire now. This
was it, this was as much as I could make them grow.
'FIRE COMET!' I yelled, this was the name of my attack. The fire ball launched itself
of me and shot at Bloom at an incredible speed. It encased him, as it had me but in
stead of firing off, it exploded! It was a huge explosion, and the light blinded me for a
moment. When the light faded, Bloom was no more. The Grimer had gone too.
'What was that?' Lila asked walking up to me. I just stared straight ahead, not
answering. Even now, nothing could make up for what I had lost. Flame was gone and
nothing could bring her back. Lily wasn't bad. I was wrong to dislike her and it was all
Bloom's fault. I guess he was just meant to be a forest creature, not bonding with
others, I was wrong to of made him my friend. I turned to look at Lily.
'I owe you a big apology.' I said

(P.O.V Change)

I woke slowly, I suddenly remembered that the Houndoom had hypnotised me. I
thought he was going to kill me! I looked around. I was now in a cage! Outside the
cage, I saw I was no longer in the forest. There were some other pokemon here, all in
cages as well. There was a Zubat, a Togetic and a Ninetales. The Zubat was odd, he
had eyes!
'Finally,' the Ninetales said. 'I was worried you would never wake up!'
'Where are we?' I asked. I could see we were on a cliff and at the bottom was water. I
looked up slightly, the water stretched right out to the horizon, there was an island.
'Your on Croco Island.' The Togetic said happily. 'By the way, my names Ceasar.
What's your?' He asked smiling. I didn't know how he could, being held prisoner like
this.
'Carai.' I replied.
'Pleased to meet you Carai.' He said cheerfully.
'I'm Sonar.' The Zubat said, not looking as happy as Caesar did. The Ninetales smiled
at me. She looked very young to be evolved, not much older than me.
'I'm Flame.' She said.
