I had just finished telling Flame about my memory loss problem. She was very
understanding and she comforted me.
'There's still some hope though.' She explained, 'We're heading to Evolution
Mountain.' She looked at me hopefully.
'I know. But how can I be sure that's where I came from?' I asked, 'I may not of even
had anything to do with Evolution Mountain!' Flame could not seem to find a very
good answer to that so she just gave me a hug.
'It'll all work out. Now we better go get ready.' She said finally.
'What for?' I asked confused.
'Banquet in the main dining room ring a bell to you?' She asked.
'Oh jeez.' I replied slapping my forehead with my paw. 'I forgot. We better hurry.' We
ran off back to the town, away form the beach, back up the stairs, and..
'Hold on.' Flame said suddenly stopping me. 'Just where is the banquet being held?'
She asked.
'The main dining room, remember?' I replied, stunned by her short-term memory loss.
I could hardly complain though could I?
'No.' She said, 'I mean, where is the main dining room?!' I gulped. I didn't know
either. The Oddish hadn't told us where to go!
'Maybe the others know.' I said hopefully, and we headed off to our rooms. We
checked but they had already gone! We walked back down the stairs mindlessly. It had
to be around here somewhere. As we ran along the wooden bridges, something caught
my eye. There was a huge building in the middle of the town. When I looked inside I
saw there was a huge gathering of pokemon. The banquet!
'Flame, this way!' I yelled. She saw too and we both ran there. We burst through the
doors and everybody looked at us. All the pokemon were at a huge, long table.
'Sorry we're late!' I said sheepishly.
'Carai, Flame!' I heard a voice call. I looked to the far end of the table and saw
Tsunami waving for us to come over. I waved back and we walked over to them.
'I thought you weren't coming!' Sonar said surprised.
'We wouldn't miss this!' Flame replied looking astonished at the huge gathering of
pokemon. I sat down next to Flame, who had sat next to Tsunami.
'I ordered you some soup!' Tsunami explained as two waiters served us. 'I didn't want
you to miss out.' I looked at the soup in front of me. It was a big bowl of leek soup. I
tried some. It was very good.
'This is delicious!' I exclaimed. The Farfetch'd sitting next to me turned his nose up at
it.
'Disgusting...' He said looking disgraced. I didn't think so, and I ate all of it. I was
glad to have a real meal, I didn't have anything good on the other island. As soon as
we had finished, two more waiters took our bowls away. As we waited for our main
meal, I thought about how much better I felt, now that I had told Flame what I had. I
knew I could trust her not to tell anyone.

(P.O.V Change)

We were walking again. It was still about a week till we could reach Evolution
Mountain. Kino was complaining to Lila again, who was getting angry at him again.
Lily was trying to break up any fights that were about to start, and I was worrying
about Charity. This was the way things usually were these days. Soon I would have
more reason to worry about her though.

It was now night time. We had stopped walking and set up camp about fifteen minutes
ago and it was getting late. I couldn't go to sleep, not yet anyway. I saw a sudden flash
of black fly over my head. I jumped up quickly and looked around. I saw the flash fly
into some bushes. I ran after it. The others spotted me and ran after me. The black
shape stood up and walked up to me. The others jumped in through the bushes.
'What's going on?' Lila asked. She suddenly spotted the black shape too.
'Moonwing!' She exclaimed. I turned back to the black shape. It stepped into the light,
and I saw it was a Murkrow.
'Gotta brush up on those landings!' He said brushing off his feathers, then he turned to
Lila. 'Lila, Lily, Kino!' He said delighted. 'And who's this?' He asked signalling to me.
'That's Flare.' She explained.
'Pleased to meet you, Flare.' He said, shaking my paw with his wing.
'What are you doing here, Moonwing?' Lily asked confused, then she looked very
serious. 'Nothing's happened to mother has it?' She asked concerned.
'No, no, nothing like that. It's just that, well, your mother and I have been talking.' He
started.
'This sounds like a long story, why don't we go back to the campsite.' I offered, he
nodded and I led him back to the campsite. The campfire was still burning slightly as
we all sat down to listen to Moonwing. Moonwing cleared his throat and started.
'Well, a couple of nights ago, I was just out, hunting for something to eat when I met
someone. It was an Eevee...' I gasped and he was cut off.
'I know what your thinking, but let me finish.' He continued, 'She said her name was
Carai, but I knew she didn't seem sure. Anyway, as it happens, Thunder and I were
talking the other day.' I guessed that Thunder was Lila, Lily, and Kino's mother, 'She
said that you, Kino, rescued an Eevee from the flooded river and then she mysteriously
disappeared. She also told me that you went to find her. I know her name was Charity
too. Now everything seems to be linked together somehow and I have only one
assumption. Charity and Carai are one in the same Eevee.' He explained. Kino gasped,
'You mean she lives like a double life? Like a secret agent?' He asked. I laughed.
'I don't think that's exactly what Moonwing means, Kino.' I said. I signalled for him
to continue. He nodded.
'As I was saying, I think they are the same Eevee. I do have a theory that when Charity
was swept down the river and she blacked out, she may have gotten a mild case of
Amnesia. If Charity had forgotten everything when she woke up, she could have left,
looking for the answer to why she was where she was, and to find out who she was.
I've heard of it happening before.' Moonwing finished.
'How can we know where she's going and how to find her?' Lila asked now
concerned.
'Well, Charity, Carai as she was when I talked to her, has gone to Evolution Mountain.
When I told her about it, she seemed to want to travel there, maybe the name sounded
familiar and she thought it was a link to her past.' Moonwing explained, 'Well, I better
be going now.' We all thanked him for taking the extra time to find us and tell us. Then
he took off back home, saying he'd keep an I out for Charity.
'Well, what now?' Lila asked us.
'I guess we continue to Evolution Mountain.' Lily decided. We all agreed.

That night as I lay in down to sleep, I thought how much more difficult this journey
had become. Charity, well, Carai, was out there somewhere, probably without even
any idea where she was, or even who she was. It may be even harder to find her now.
Then a sudden thought crossed my mind. The Forest! She had probably gone through
the forest! I thought about Flame and how she had been killed in that forest. Charity
could already be gone! I shook the thought out of my mind and focused on what was
ahead of us. The short adventure to Evolution Mountain I had once planned with
Charity, was now looking more like a rescue mission to save her! Soon my tiredness
over powered me, and I drifted into a restless sleep.
