***Poke Pillaging***

"I, for one, am not too thrilled with this idea," Will whimpered as they trudged down the stairs to the door, "He's libel to cock us one."
"Nah," Jason said as he opened the door, "He's been getting better with his attitude."
"Yeah, but the last time we did this he tried to fry us," Will answered pointedly.
"Yes, I admit I did," Lance surprised them from the other side of the door, "But I won't again. Let's go, Dragonite."
Lance proceeded down the path, heading for the Training House, "He's acting so weird," Luri commented, "I think Raikou finally got through to him."
"I hope that's all it is, I really do. He may be hot tempered and mildly brained, but he's still a good Master and a great friend," Jason said as he watched his idol disappear down the walk.
*^~^**^~^*
"I can't believe it's dark already," Mizu said as the group continued along Route 54.
Eevy was proud of herself for succeeding in steering Ash and his friends away from Rose and toward Lily instead. As she continued down the road, a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Hey! Give back my Pokemon!"
"Don't think so, little boy," Jen giggled from her balloon floating high above them, "I like these Pokemon!"
"Give them back!" Daemeon came flying off a path to their side, "Give me my Pokemon!"
"You," Eevy growled, clenching her fists and hissing.
"Please!" Daemeon turned to Eevy, "Please! Please! I beg of you! She stole all my Pokemon! Please help me!"
He literally dropped to his knees in front of her begging, "Why should I help you?" she hissed down at him.
"Come on! Please! I'm defenseless here!"
"And your point being?" Medira asked before being interrupted.
"Pikachu!"
"Oooh! And now we've gotten the twerp's Pikachu and his Pokemon too!" Jen laughed harder.
"My Poke'Balls!" Misty shouted.
"They've got mine too!" Sooney cried.
"They've gotten everyone's!" Yuu-Yuu wailed.
"How'd they do such a thing?" Eevy screamed, feeling around her belt to find nothing.
"This super power vacuum Jessie and James left behind a while back really does the job when it's used the right way," Persian said haughtily.
"Hey! It's you two again!" someone cried from behind them, "Give back my Pokemon! And theirs too!"
"Is that who it sounds like?" Ash asked wearily as he turned around.
"Gary?" Eevy looked boggled, "Gary Oak?"
"Hey Eevy," Gary stared up at the balloon almost, ALMOST, in tears, "They stole my Pokemon too. They've had them for days now."
"You give back our Pokemon!" Kayla shouted.
"Don't tell me they got yours too!" Eevy called.
"The only people at the beach yesterday that they didn't succeed on robbing were Shurdi, Ran and Iskur. Everyone else lost their Poke'Balls."
"If you want them, just try and take them," Jen shouted, "But you'll never find us. Not in a million years!"
"You wait and see who we do and do not find!" Eevy screamed nastily, "I'll get you yet!"
"Next time we meet, girly, next time we meet!"
"You'd better believe it, Jen," Eevy hissed low and nastily, "I'll find you Vovo! Don't worry!"
*^~^**^~^*
"Eevy..." Sooney half whined, "We've been walking for hours."
"Yeah, can't your supposed connection with that stupid Eevee work any faster?" Daemeon asked nastily.
"Shut up, you little germ," Medira whacked him in the back of the head, "If you want help, you keep quiet. That is, unless you'd rather face Jen alone."
"Alright, alright. I'm quiet, just don't hit me again."
"Sorry, you weren't quiet!" she caught him again, this time striking him hard enough to make him run up by Eevy.
"Just how much farther do you think it is?" Gary asked.
Even Gary had agreed to help and to work with the group. Ash was a bit confused and decided to break the chain of thought to ask a question of minimal importance.
"So..." Ash hesitated, "How do you know each other, Gary? Eevy?"
"Oops. I forgot. I'm friends with Gary's sister, Daisy," Eevy continued walking.
"Yeah. They've been friends for a while," Gary answered, "I suppose for about seven, eight years now, wouldn't you say, Eevy? Eevy! What's wrong?"
"I don't know," Eevy gagged for air, "I really don't know. I can hardly breathe."
"They must be doing something to Vovo," Medira said, "Your bond with him is causing you to react too."
"It's over," Eevy stood up and rubbed her neck, "It's done. I've got to find him and see what they did to him!"
Eevy took off running down the street just before Ash also toppled over in pain, "It's Pikachu!" he gasped, "I know it!"
Eevy and Ash both jumped screaming, holding the sides of their heads. The both of them took off down the route. Screaming, just screaming, but Eevy's calls seemed more of rage than of pain. She wanted someone dead, and she wasn't going to hesitate. Gary and the others looked to each other for some answers, but none could do anything but follow their howling friends. Eevy and Ash jumped around bushes, trees and Pokemon as they dashed through the woods.
"Ash," Eevy said, "I'm going to kill her. You know that?"
"I'll get seconds, right?" he hissed as the two of them jumped another line of bushes and got another jolt of pain.
*^~^**^~^*
"The more the two of you pull on those chains, the more pain you cause yourselves and your precious masters," Jen said as Pikachu and Vovo pulled on their chains.
Both the electric rodent and the puppy/bunny cross were on opposite ends of a rope strung through a post in a tree. Each time they pulled, they were pulling each other, though they didn't know. The pain Ash and Eevy were feeling was the pain from Vovo pulling and slamming the back of Pikachu's head into the tree and Pikachu doing the same to Vovo. Also the gasping was choking themselves on the collars.
"This is too great! Poke'Balls everywhere and no one to stop us!" Persian sneered.
"Or so you would believe!"
"Who's there?" Jen asked as she stood up quickly baring her fists to fight.
"Take a guess, oh demented witch," Eevy said stepping out.
"And if you'd sit, we'd change you pitch!" Ash said as he stepped out as well.
"To warp your head into a square!"
"Stealing Pokemon's just no fair!"
"Eevy!"
"Ash!"
"Team Rocket, back down before the fight!"
"Cause if you don't you'll lose tonight!"
"That's right!" the rest of the group ran up behind them.
"Hey! That's not fair! That's copyrighted stuff!" Jen shouted angrily.
"Apologies to those who own it, but not to you!" Misty yelled.
"I've had it up to here with you!" Medira shouted, stepping up.
"No," Eevy put her arm out, "I was promised a fight, and I'll get it. Now."
"Oh really?" Jen stepped forward, "I'm a prepared, trained, fighting black belt. You want one, prepare for pain!"
"Really? Well I'm a three time world champion, as well as a black belt and eight time Gertan Rin master. We'll see who the one in pain is," Eevy bared her fists nastily, "You've stolen and hurt far too many Pokemon. Just one was way too many. Tonight, you'll see just what a trainer can do for their Pokemon," Eevy waved her hands in towards herself, "Bring it on."
"First one to fall loses. The last standing keeps the Pokemon."
"You've got it!" Eevy looked over at the poor beaten Pikachu and Vovo, "Oh, my friends," she thought before turning back toward Jen and continuing to think, "I'll do this for you."
"Come on, let's start!" Jen started circling.
The both of them eyed one another while side stepping each other. Eevy wasn't holding back on her eyes this time and was freaking Jen out with the whole glowing red and swirling up thing. Jen ran forward but Eevy spun to her left, coming back at her with an elbow on her spine. Jen fell to the ground, but stood up. Eevy awaited her next move carefully, but Jen pulled a quick one. She ran and just before reaching her, jumped up and popped herself up to stomp on Eevy's shoulders. Her high-heeled boots slapping two bruises on each side from where she had initially landed and then where she had stomped. She launched off, sending Eevy down, but Eevy stood up, fists balled tight. Eevy ran, as fast as she could, straight at her. About five feet from her she fell and slid into Jen's ankles, sending her to the ground again, but once more Jen stood. Eevy swung her right arm around towards the right (Jen's right) of Jen's face. Jen quickly reached up and caught her wrist. Eevy was prepared for that and twisted her right elbow up, slamming Jen in the left of her face. She quickly added a punch to her chin with her free left hand and then an elbow in the chest, pushing Jen away. Jen still stood, unwilling to back down. Again the circling began.
"Those two are nuts!" Sooney said, "They could get killed! Eevy's already all bruised up and Jen looks like she's missing a tooth!"
"No, they're not nuts," Ash said, "Well, maybe Jen is, but Eevy sure isn't."
"Nope. She's fighting for her Pokemon. She'll never back down. She has the will to kill for her friends and family. Unfortunately for Jen, Eevy considers her Pokemon her closest friends," Medira said pointedly.
"Ah, nothing but sentimental garbage," Daemeon said snottily.
"Quiet you little roach!" Medira shouted, slapping him and then returning her gaze to Eevy and Jen who hadn't yet attacked again.
"Come on," Jen boasted, "Admit it. You'll never be a Master. You can't even keep your Poke'Balls from one little vacuum, how can you battle a Dragonite?"
"I can be whatever I set my mind to. And at the moment, my mind is set on being your assassin!" Eevy ran at her, but Jen was too fast.
With a quick spin/kick/punch combination, Jen caught Eevy dead in the stomach, causing her to topple over next to a tree. The popping of bones caused everyone but Jen to cringe, even Persian winced at that. No bones had broken, dislocated then relocated maybe, or possibly a pinched nerve, but no broken bones. Still Eevy was in too much pain to attack.
"Game, set, ma-" Jen was interrupted.
"No," Eevy pulled herself up, "I'm not through with you yet. I've only just begun."
"Eevy!" Misty shouted, "Back down now! You'll get yourself killed!"
"I won't," Eevy was holding her stomach in her right hand with her left on the tree, "I'll never give up."
"Persistent, are we?" Jen asked, aiming her foot to Eevy's side, "If that's the way you want it."
"No!" but Yuu-Yuu was too late, or so she thought.
Jen's side kick rocketed towards Eevy, but when everyone opened their eyes, Eevy had grabbed her ankle inches from plummeting into her side, "You will not defeat me," she said calmly before bringing her left knee up into the outstretched knee of her opponent.
Jen hopped around a bit before falling over with Eevy still grasping her ankle. Eevy dropped her leg and looked down into her face with dead, blank eyes.
"Get up," Eevy said in a deep, nasty voice, "Get up now."
Ash and the others backed away. Eevy was really steamed, more than ever. She wanted this fight to last. Jen trembled and stood up slowly. Eevy reached out and grabbed her collar, pulling her right up to her face. Jen whimpered slightly.
"You get me those Poke'Balls and the key to the lock on that chain. I expect to see you disappear rather quickly before I rip you in half," Eevy hissed this right into Jen's face.
For some reason, Eevy felt this was familiar, but not her familiar. Like she had seen someone or knew someone who had done this same thing, but she never knew anyone who did what she just did. She dropped Jen down and stared her dead in the eyes. She stepped back two steps and pointed to the balloon where Brock was waiting demandingly for the Poke'Balls. She stood as straight as a century before turning to Ash and the others who stepped away wearily.
"I'm sorry," she said in an odd tone.
"Eevy! Eevy! Eevy!" Morty fell flat on his face as he tripped on a tangle of grass.
"Morty? Why are you here?" Eevy wasn't particularly mad at him this time.
"Mom and dad sent me," he brushed himself off before running to her and grabbing her shoulders, "Are you insane? Getting in a fight with her! You could have been killed! Be glad that camera was on for the beginning and off for the fight. Mom and dad are going to flip!"
She didn't answer, but lifted her right arm and pointed to Vovo and Pikachu, "I couldn't leave them," she said softly, "You wouldn't either."
He looked over and down at the fallen Pokemon, "I'm sorry. Just, don't do that again, please."
"I won't," she stepped forward and buried her head in his shirt before crying, "I'm sorry," came the mumbled cry.
"I love you, sis."
"If they weren't related, I'd call this romantic," Medira said as she finally got her Poke'Balls, "Ah! My friends!"
The crack of a twig in the forest aroused Eevy. Just as she had hoped wasn't, it was.
"Are you all right?"
Eevy laughed and shook her head at her feet before pointing off to the side to show everyone who was coming, "Yes, you guys, I'm fine."
"You're sure?" Iskur asked.
"You don't need help?" Shurdi quickly pushed in.
"You need to see a doctor at all?" even Cain had arrived after seeing the fight.
"Yes, I'm fine," something dark behind them caught Eevy's attention, "Who's that?"
"Hello again."
"Hey, it's that Dragon guy from the party," Ash commented.
"Who, who, who, who are these people?" Morty asked protectively.
Eevy laughed a bit, "Friends, dear brother. Strictly friends."
This caused Cain, Iskur and Shurdi to frown, but Dragon showed no signs of being moved by that comment at all. He stepped back with a quick curse when Morty jammed himself in front of him, eyeing his hood-covered face.
"And just who might you be?" Morty asked, narrowing one eye at Dragon.
"Just as she says, a friend."
"No, I want a real name."
"You have what you're getting," Dragon turned to leave, but not without first nodding to the girls and bowing a bit to Eevy.
"Wait!"
"That voice," he thought, "No, don't stop me from leaving," he turned and looked at her, "Yes?" he asked out loud.
"Why don't you tell me your real name?" Eevy wouldn't let him leave until she got her answer.
He looked away, "It isn't important."
"Yes it is."
"Stop it!" he thought, "Stop stopping me! I can't! I just can't tell you! It's not right. I shouldn't even have come! But, I couldn't sit home waiting...The truth can't spill, not now. Not yet," he spoke, "Someday."
"But..." she looked right through him with those eyes.
He was itching to leave, with over a dozen pairs of eyes on him, "I, I..." those pleading eyes were eating away at him to the point where he had to turn away, "Soon. I promise, soon."
"If you say so," Eevy said, looking at him sadly, "Just be true to your word."
"I will," he turned and again began to leave.
"Hold it!" Morty jumped in front of him, "Just because you can't tell her, doesn't mean you can't tell me!"
"Morty!" Eevy boomed, "Let him go."
"But-"
"Let him go."
Morty stepped to the side. This guy wasn't quite right, and he didn't want him around his sister anymore. He would find out for himself, even if it meant following this guy every minute of his life. Eevy turned and came face to face with Cain.
"Hehe..." she smirked, "Hi?"
That huge smile crossed his face again, "Hello."
They didn't know Dragon stood behind a line of trees, listening, growling and even crying, "I'm so sorry," he said quietly, "I'm so sorry for not being able to tell you. But if I do, it could go to your head or even slow you down. I can't let that happen. Plus, the Elite are forbidden to be with anyone not of the League. You know, don't you? You can feel the burning embers of hatred and the blazing fire of love too, can't you? And you don't know why. I'm hurting more than helping. I'm giving you pain you don't need to feel. I'm hurting you, both mentally and physically. I wish, that someday, Raikou's premonition for me would be true. Whether soon, or far away, I don't care, as long as it's you."
Eevy suddenly felt like breaking down and crying for no reason what so ever, "What's up with me?" Eevy asked herself silently, "It's like I'm sorry for someone, yet totally locked on slapping them silly for hurting me."
"You OK?" Cain asked as he waved his hand in front of her face, "You look sick."
"I'm fine, just spacey from that fight," she retaliated, "I just need some sleep."
"You sure?" Morty asked, "Cause if you are, then I'd better get back."
"You go ahead, I'm alright. Tell mom and dad-"
"Nothing. I'm not telling them anything," her brother finished for her.
"Thank you."
"Just, don't do that again. And one more quick thing."
"What's that?" she asked wearily.
"Keep away from that Dragon guy," an angry look crossed his eyes, "Just until I find out what's up with him."
She crossed her fingers behind her back, "I will."
He turned and left with his Gengar who waved insanely at Eevy as they teleported away. Eevy couldn't promise to stay away from Dragon, but she didn't know why. Still she felt so angry, yet so emotional for someone, but she didn't know who or why. It felt like they had ripped out her heart, and she'd then turned and done the same to them. Then that the both of them were hurt, angry and saddened all at the same time. For some reason, all this emotion was arched toward Dragon even when he was around, but still she had no idea why. She felt so attracted to him, but she didn't even know his name, let alone how old he was, where he lived, or what kind of person he really was. She had no intention of ever really getting close to him, or at least, she didn't think she would. Her attention span was snapped in two by the crack of leaves behind her.
"You alright?" Cain asked as he leaned over her shoulder, "You really look worked up."
"I'm fine," she said as she stared into the fire.
"Are you sure? You keep floating away. So whatchya' thinkin' 'bout?" he asked sarcastically as he sat down.
"You're an odd man, Cain. You really are," she managed to laugh.
"Seriously, what's wrong?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't really know."
Cain cocked his head at that, "How can you not know?"
"I don't know, but I don't. I feel like I'm really, really mad at somebody, but at the same time I feel like apologizing for something I did to them. And what's even weirder is I have no clue who I'm mad at or why," she laid back on the grass to stare up at the moon, "Sometimes I wish Raikou would have told me more, then maybe I'd know why I feel so weird."
"So, you have really seen Raikou then?"
"Yes, I have. Many times. He tells me things that I wouldn't otherwise know. He's like a best friend with secrets from the Sacred Fire or something. He told me when we first met that I'd find some guy that would be like my soul mate or something. At first I thought it was just some twisted gobbly gook, but then I started feeling pains that aren't mine and having dreams."
"Everybody dreams," Cain said as he pondered this thing about the man.
"I know that, but not many dream like me. I can see things in my dreams, odd though they may seem, they play themselves out. Like the day I met you, I kept day dreaming about this pool of lava with a sphere in the center. After I saw it for just so long, the sphere started spinning in every which direction, sending fire flying everywhere and the day dream would get all clouded in smoke. Just like the smoke your Magcargo used and the Flame Roll Out it kept attacking with."
"That is really freaky," he said as he mused away about this weird coincidence.
Their train of thought derailed with Medira's screaming, "Get out, you little fungus, and go away!"
"Geez! I'm going! I'm going! But we'll meet up again! And when we do!" Daemeon was cut short by Medira kicking at him with her high-heeled boots triggering him running into the woods.
"Stupid little stain..." she mumbled as she returned to her business.
*^~^**^~^*
"She's starting to realize her bond with the Espeon," Raikou whispered as he focused on Eevy, "She's begun taking on its power of Foresight and Premonitions."
"Is it really right to give this girl all that power?" Suicune asked in a low tone, "Master William has such powers and sometimes even he has trouble controlling them."
"We agreed to give each Master their own abilities," Entei said, "But never did we agree on any such as this."
"True, she does have a certain difference about her. We gave Lance the power of his Dragons, Luri her endurance for cold from her Ice and Water, Will his Psychic's powers and Jason got his ability to mimic his Rapidash's speed. But this one has too much of a variety. The only choice would be to give her a little of each," Raikou answered.
"But do you realize, dear Beast of Lightning, just how much power that would give her? She'd have the speed of her Eevee, the cold endurance of her Vaporeon, the ability to withstand lava heat from her Flareon, the power to electrocute and hold out against thunder and lightning from her Jolteon, the energy gathering effects from her Umbreon, and the psychic tendencies of her Espeon. She'd be unstoppable, even to Lance," Suicune pointed out.
"Yes, but would she be able to hold up against Peter?" Entei asked wearily, "If he does return, which we know he will, if she becomes Champion, he'll be after her with all his might. She has to hold some power as protection."
"SOME, dear friend, SOME power," Suicune said a bit louder, "There is no reason to give her the powers of all her Pokemon. Why not just the Eevee? She's closest to it and-"
"Suicune, we have no reason not to entrust her with these gifts," Raikou spoke a bit nastily, "She has to be prepared for anything."
"Anything, Raikou, not everything."
"She'll still be vulnerable to certain things."
"Such as?"
"Ghostly attacks, Normal attacks, Grass attacks-"
"She's not a Pokemon, Raikou, we don't hold enough power over the humanly world to do this."
"Obviously we do, because it's working, is it not?" Entei said pointedly.
"She's already acquired the speed of the Eevee and some of the energy gathering effects from Umbreon. Now she's working toward her Espeon's psychic powers, like Will's. After this-"
"After this we stop," Entei's sudden change of tune alerted Raikou, "Suicune does have a point when you consider it."
"Really?" Raikou asked, "Why not sharpen my end, hmm?"
"All these powers flowing through her will slow her down, make her weak and even more vulnerable to Peter. The best thing to do is give her the powers of the three closest to her; the Eevee, Umbreon and Espeon. With three she'll be more than powerful enough to make it. But with six, she'd lose all her energy."
Raikou took a minute to consider this, "I do believe you have a point, though it may be on your head, I'm not sure. But none the less, we will stop after the full growth of the Espeon's powers and after she's gathered the power of Umbreon as well."
"That's a wise decision, Beast of Lightning, very wise," Suicune admitted to her friend's good decision.
"We should go," Entei said, "The Elite may worry."
*^~^**^~^*
Lance landed at the western end of the Training House. Before he even had time to get down off of Dragonite, Luri, Jason and Will were swarming over him.
"Where have you been?" Luri hissed, "You've been gone all night!"
"What have you been doing?" Jason asked, pushing in, "We were all supposed to be training!"
"You've got to tell us before running off!" Will spat, "Are you trying to be classified as missing in action?"
"Could the three of you just lay off for a bit?" he asked as he recalled his Pokemon and pushed past them, pulling his hood down over his face, "I've got a lot on my mind right now," he said, his voice just scratching away to turn to crying, "I'll be riding it off if you need me."
"You mean on Dragonite?" Luri asked.
"No," he retaliated slowly, "On my motorcycle, if you don't mind."
"You'd best be careful," Will added.
"I know that."
"Bye," Jason said simply as the roar of the engine deafened him.
^*^The Next Chronicle:^*^
Gifts From The Heart
~*~Notes~*~
Freaky chapter yet again. I know, aren't I weird? You'll have to excuse this chapter, I was having a hard time describing everything just right and I'm afraid I didn't do it quite good enough. Jen deserves a good kicking, doesn't she? Morty is way too protective, don't you think? The packages, you ask? Well, you can probably guess where they come from, but you may get a surprise...You never know with me *evil grin* I like a couple of those wise cracks in there like "...train of thought derailed..." and the conversation between the Beasts about Eevy with all the 'point' jokes. And the whole thing with morphing Team Rocket's motto was for fun and entertainment purposes only, K? It's late, what do you want from me?

"I, for one, am not too thrilled with this idea," Will whimpered as they trudged down the stairs to the door, "He's libel to cock us one."
"Nah," Jason said as he opened the door, "He's been getting better with his attitude."
"Yeah, but the last time we did this he tried to fry us," Will answered pointedly.
"Yes, I admit I did," Lance surprised them from the other side of the door, "But I won't again. Let's go, Dragonite."
Lance proceeded down the path, heading for the Training House, "He's acting so weird," Luri commented, "I think Raikou finally got through to him."
"I hope that's all it is, I really do. He may be hot tempered and mildly brained, but he's still a good Master and a great friend," Jason said as he watched his idol disappear down the walk.
*^~^**^~^*
"I can't believe it's dark already," Mizu said as the group continued along Route 54.
Eevy was proud of herself for succeeding in steering Ash and his friends away from Rose and toward Lily instead. As she continued down the road, a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Hey! Give back my Pokemon!"
"Don't think so, little boy," Jen giggled from her balloon floating high above them, "I like these Pokemon!"
"Give them back!" Daemeon came flying off a path to their side, "Give me my Pokemon!"
"You," Eevy growled, clenching her fists and hissing.
"Please!" Daemeon turned to Eevy, "Please! Please! I beg of you! She stole all my Pokemon! Please help me!"
He literally dropped to his knees in front of her begging, "Why should I help you?" she hissed down at him.
"Come on! Please! I'm defenseless here!"
"And your point being?" Medira asked before being interrupted.
"Pikachu!"
"Oooh! And now we've gotten the twerp's Pikachu and his Pokemon too!" Jen laughed harder.
"My Poke'Balls!" Misty shouted.
"They've got mine too!" Sooney cried.
"They've gotten everyone's!" Yuu-Yuu wailed.
"How'd they do such a thing?" Eevy screamed, feeling around her belt to find nothing.
"This super power vacuum Jessie and James left behind a while back really does the job when it's used the right way," Persian said haughtily.
"Hey! It's you two again!" someone cried from behind them, "Give back my Pokemon! And theirs too!"
"Is that who it sounds like?" Ash asked wearily as he turned around.
"Gary?" Eevy looked boggled, "Gary Oak?"
"Hey Eevy," Gary stared up at the balloon almost, ALMOST, in tears, "They stole my Pokemon too. They've had them for days now."
"You give back our Pokemon!" Kayla shouted.
"Don't tell me they got yours too!" Eevy called.
"The only people at the beach yesterday that they didn't succeed on robbing were Shurdi, Ran and Iskur. Everyone else lost their Poke'Balls."
"If you want them, just try and take them," Jen shouted, "But you'll never find us. Not in a million years!"
"You wait and see who we do and do not find!" Eevy screamed nastily, "I'll get you yet!"
"Next time we meet, girly, next time we meet!"
"You'd better believe it, Jen," Eevy hissed low and nastily, "I'll find you Vovo! Don't worry!"
*^~^**^~^*
"Eevy..." Sooney half whined, "We've been walking for hours."
"Yeah, can't your supposed connection with that stupid Eevee work any faster?" Daemeon asked nastily.
"Shut up, you little germ," Medira whacked him in the back of the head, "If you want help, you keep quiet. That is, unless you'd rather face Jen alone."
"Alright, alright. I'm quiet, just don't hit me again."
"Sorry, you weren't quiet!" she caught him again, this time striking him hard enough to make him run up by Eevy.
"Just how much farther do you think it is?" Gary asked.
Even Gary had agreed to help and to work with the group. Ash was a bit confused and decided to break the chain of thought to ask a question of minimal importance.
"So..." Ash hesitated, "How do you know each other, Gary? Eevy?"
"Oops. I forgot. I'm friends with Gary's sister, Daisy," Eevy continued walking.
"Yeah. They've been friends for a while," Gary answered, "I suppose for about seven, eight years now, wouldn't you say, Eevy? Eevy! What's wrong?"
"I don't know," Eevy gagged for air, "I really don't know. I can hardly breathe."
"They must be doing something to Vovo," Medira said, "Your bond with him is causing you to react too."
"It's over," Eevy stood up and rubbed her neck, "It's done. I've got to find him and see what they did to him!"
Eevy took off running down the street just before Ash also toppled over in pain, "It's Pikachu!" he gasped, "I know it!"
Eevy and Ash both jumped screaming, holding the sides of their heads. The both of them took off down the route. Screaming, just screaming, but Eevy's calls seemed more of rage than of pain. She wanted someone dead, and she wasn't going to hesitate. Gary and the others looked to each other for some answers, but none could do anything but follow their howling friends. Eevy and Ash jumped around bushes, trees and Pokemon as they dashed through the woods.
"Ash," Eevy said, "I'm going to kill her. You know that?"
"I'll get seconds, right?" he hissed as the two of them jumped another line of bushes and got another jolt of pain.
*^~^**^~^*
"The more the two of you pull on those chains, the more pain you cause yourselves and your precious masters," Jen said as Pikachu and Vovo pulled on their chains.
Both the electric rodent and the puppy/bunny cross were on opposite ends of a rope strung through a post in a tree. Each time they pulled, they were pulling each other, though they didn't know. The pain Ash and Eevy were feeling was the pain from Vovo pulling and slamming the back of Pikachu's head into the tree and Pikachu doing the same to Vovo. Also the gasping was choking themselves on the collars.
"This is too great! Poke'Balls everywhere and no one to stop us!" Persian sneered.
"Or so you would believe!"
"Who's there?" Jen asked as she stood up quickly baring her fists to fight.
"Take a guess, oh demented witch," Eevy said stepping out.
"And if you'd sit, we'd change you pitch!" Ash said as he stepped out as well.
"To warp your head into a square!"
"Stealing Pokemon's just no fair!"
"Eevy!"
"Ash!"
"Team Rocket, back down before the fight!"
"Cause if you don't you'll lose tonight!"
"That's right!" the rest of the group ran up behind them.
"Hey! That's not fair! That's copyrighted stuff!" Jen shouted angrily.
"Apologies to those who own it, but not to you!" Misty yelled.
"I've had it up to here with you!" Medira shouted, stepping up.
"No," Eevy put her arm out, "I was promised a fight, and I'll get it. Now."
"Oh really?" Jen stepped forward, "I'm a prepared, trained, fighting black belt. You want one, prepare for pain!"
"Really? Well I'm a three time world champion, as well as a black belt and eight time Gertan Rin master. We'll see who the one in pain is," Eevy bared her fists nastily, "You've stolen and hurt far too many Pokemon. Just one was way too many. Tonight, you'll see just what a trainer can do for their Pokemon," Eevy waved her hands in towards herself, "Bring it on."
"First one to fall loses. The last standing keeps the Pokemon."
"You've got it!" Eevy looked over at the poor beaten Pikachu and Vovo, "Oh, my friends," she thought before turning back toward Jen and continuing to think, "I'll do this for you."
"Come on, let's start!" Jen started circling.
The both of them eyed one another while side stepping each other. Eevy wasn't holding back on her eyes this time and was freaking Jen out with the whole glowing red and swirling up thing. Jen ran forward but Eevy spun to her left, coming back at her with an elbow on her spine. Jen fell to the ground, but stood up. Eevy awaited her next move carefully, but Jen pulled a quick one. She ran and just before reaching her, jumped up and popped herself up to stomp on Eevy's shoulders. Her high-heeled boots slapping two bruises on each side from where she had initially landed and then where she had stomped. She launched off, sending Eevy down, but Eevy stood up, fists balled tight. Eevy ran, as fast as she could, straight at her. About five feet from her she fell and slid into Jen's ankles, sending her to the ground again, but once more Jen stood. Eevy swung her right arm around towards the right (Jen's right) of Jen's face. Jen quickly reached up and caught her wrist. Eevy was prepared for that and twisted her right elbow up, slamming Jen in the left of her face. She quickly added a punch to her chin with her free left hand and then an elbow in the chest, pushing Jen away. Jen still stood, unwilling to back down. Again the circling began.
"Those two are nuts!" Sooney said, "They could get killed! Eevy's already all bruised up and Jen looks like she's missing a tooth!"
"No, they're not nuts," Ash said, "Well, maybe Jen is, but Eevy sure isn't."
"Nope. She's fighting for her Pokemon. She'll never back down. She has the will to kill for her friends and family. Unfortunately for Jen, Eevy considers her Pokemon her closest friends," Medira said pointedly.
"Ah, nothing but sentimental garbage," Daemeon said snottily.
"Quiet you little roach!" Medira shouted, slapping him and then returning her gaze to Eevy and Jen who hadn't yet attacked again.
"Come on," Jen boasted, "Admit it. You'll never be a Master. You can't even keep your Poke'Balls from one little vacuum, how can you battle a Dragonite?"
"I can be whatever I set my mind to. And at the moment, my mind is set on being your assassin!" Eevy ran at her, but Jen was too fast.
With a quick spin/kick/punch combination, Jen caught Eevy dead in the stomach, causing her to topple over next to a tree. The popping of bones caused everyone but Jen to cringe, even Persian winced at that. No bones had broken, dislocated then relocated maybe, or possibly a pinched nerve, but no broken bones. Still Eevy was in too much pain to attack.
"Game, set, ma-" Jen was interrupted.
"No," Eevy pulled herself up, "I'm not through with you yet. I've only just begun."
"Eevy!" Misty shouted, "Back down now! You'll get yourself killed!"
"I won't," Eevy was holding her stomach in her right hand with her left on the tree, "I'll never give up."
"Persistent, are we?" Jen asked, aiming her foot to Eevy's side, "If that's the way you want it."
"No!" but Yuu-Yuu was too late, or so she thought.
Jen's side kick rocketed towards Eevy, but when everyone opened their eyes, Eevy had grabbed her ankle inches from plummeting into her side, "You will not defeat me," she said calmly before bringing her left knee up into the outstretched knee of her opponent.
Jen hopped around a bit before falling over with Eevy still grasping her ankle. Eevy dropped her leg and looked down into her face with dead, blank eyes.
"Get up," Eevy said in a deep, nasty voice, "Get up now."
Ash and the others backed away. Eevy was really steamed, more than ever. She wanted this fight to last. Jen trembled and stood up slowly. Eevy reached out and grabbed her collar, pulling her right up to her face. Jen whimpered slightly.
"You get me those Poke'Balls and the key to the lock on that chain. I expect to see you disappear rather quickly before I rip you in half," Eevy hissed this right into Jen's face.
For some reason, Eevy felt this was familiar, but not her familiar. Like she had seen someone or knew someone who had done this same thing, but she never knew anyone who did what she just did. She dropped Jen down and stared her dead in the eyes. She stepped back two steps and pointed to the balloon where Brock was waiting demandingly for the Poke'Balls. She stood as straight as a century before turning to Ash and the others who stepped away wearily.
"I'm sorry," she said in an odd tone.
"Eevy! Eevy! Eevy!" Morty fell flat on his face as he tripped on a tangle of grass.
"Morty? Why are you here?" Eevy wasn't particularly mad at him this time.
"Mom and dad sent me," he brushed himself off before running to her and grabbing her shoulders, "Are you insane? Getting in a fight with her! You could have been killed! Be glad that camera was on for the beginning and off for the fight. Mom and dad are going to flip!"
She didn't answer, but lifted her right arm and pointed to Vovo and Pikachu, "I couldn't leave them," she said softly, "You wouldn't either."
He looked over and down at the fallen Pokemon, "I'm sorry. Just, don't do that again, please."
"I won't," she stepped forward and buried her head in his shirt before crying, "I'm sorry," came the mumbled cry.
"I love you, sis."
"If they weren't related, I'd call this romantic," Medira said as she finally got her Poke'Balls, "Ah! My friends!"
The crack of a twig in the forest aroused Eevy. Just as she had hoped wasn't, it was.
"Are you all right?"
Eevy laughed and shook her head at her feet before pointing off to the side to show everyone who was coming, "Yes, you guys, I'm fine."
"You're sure?" Iskur asked.
"You don't need help?" Shurdi quickly pushed in.
"You need to see a doctor at all?" even Cain had arrived after seeing the fight.
"Yes, I'm fine," something dark behind them caught Eevy's attention, "Who's that?"
"Hello again."
"Hey, it's that Dragon guy from the party," Ash commented.
"Who, who, who, who are these people?" Morty asked protectively.
Eevy laughed a bit, "Friends, dear brother. Strictly friends."
This caused Cain, Iskur and Shurdi to frown, but Dragon showed no signs of being moved by that comment at all. He stepped back with a quick curse when Morty jammed himself in front of him, eyeing his hood-covered face.
"And just who might you be?" Morty asked, narrowing one eye at Dragon.
"Just as she says, a friend."
"No, I want a real name."
"You have what you're getting," Dragon turned to leave, but not without first nodding to the girls and bowing a bit to Eevy.
"Wait!"
"That voice," he thought, "No, don't stop me from leaving," he turned and looked at her, "Yes?" he asked out loud.
"Why don't you tell me your real name?" Eevy wouldn't let him leave until she got her answer.
He looked away, "It isn't important."
"Yes it is."
"Stop it!" he thought, "Stop stopping me! I can't! I just can't tell you! It's not right. I shouldn't even have come! But, I couldn't sit home waiting...The truth can't spill, not now. Not yet," he spoke, "Someday."
"But..." she looked right through him with those eyes.
He was itching to leave, with over a dozen pairs of eyes on him, "I, I..." those pleading eyes were eating away at him to the point where he had to turn away, "Soon. I promise, soon."
"If you say so," Eevy said, looking at him sadly, "Just be true to your word."
"I will," he turned and again began to leave.
"Hold it!" Morty jumped in front of him, "Just because you can't tell her, doesn't mean you can't tell me!"
"Morty!" Eevy boomed, "Let him go."
"But-"
"Let him go."
Morty stepped to the side. This guy wasn't quite right, and he didn't want him around his sister anymore. He would find out for himself, even if it meant following this guy every minute of his life. Eevy turned and came face to face with Cain.
"Hehe..." she smirked, "Hi?"
That huge smile crossed his face again, "Hello."
They didn't know Dragon stood behind a line of trees, listening, growling and even crying, "I'm so sorry," he said quietly, "I'm so sorry for not being able to tell you. But if I do, it could go to your head or even slow you down. I can't let that happen. Plus, the Elite are forbidden to be with anyone not of the League. You know, don't you? You can feel the burning embers of hatred and the blazing fire of love too, can't you? And you don't know why. I'm hurting more than helping. I'm giving you pain you don't need to feel. I'm hurting you, both mentally and physically. I wish, that someday, Raikou's premonition for me would be true. Whether soon, or far away, I don't care, as long as it's you."
Eevy suddenly felt like breaking down and crying for no reason what so ever, "What's up with me?" Eevy asked herself silently, "It's like I'm sorry for someone, yet totally locked on slapping them silly for hurting me."
"You OK?" Cain asked as he waved his hand in front of her face, "You look sick."
"I'm fine, just spacey from that fight," she retaliated, "I just need some sleep."
"You sure?" Morty asked, "Cause if you are, then I'd better get back."
"You go ahead, I'm alright. Tell mom and dad-"
"Nothing. I'm not telling them anything," her brother finished for her.
"Thank you."
"Just, don't do that again. And one more quick thing."
"What's that?" she asked wearily.
"Keep away from that Dragon guy," an angry look crossed his eyes, "Just until I find out what's up with him."
She crossed her fingers behind her back, "I will."
He turned and left with his Gengar who waved insanely at Eevy as they teleported away. Eevy couldn't promise to stay away from Dragon, but she didn't know why. Still she felt so angry, yet so emotional for someone, but she didn't know who or why. It felt like they had ripped out her heart, and she'd then turned and done the same to them. Then that the both of them were hurt, angry and saddened all at the same time. For some reason, all this emotion was arched toward Dragon even when he was around, but still she had no idea why. She felt so attracted to him, but she didn't even know his name, let alone how old he was, where he lived, or what kind of person he really was. She had no intention of ever really getting close to him, or at least, she didn't think she would. Her attention span was snapped in two by the crack of leaves behind her.
"You alright?" Cain asked as he leaned over her shoulder, "You really look worked up."
"I'm fine," she said as she stared into the fire.
"Are you sure? You keep floating away. So whatchya' thinkin' 'bout?" he asked sarcastically as he sat down.
"You're an odd man, Cain. You really are," she managed to laugh.
"Seriously, what's wrong?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't really know."
Cain cocked his head at that, "How can you not know?"
"I don't know, but I don't. I feel like I'm really, really mad at somebody, but at the same time I feel like apologizing for something I did to them. And what's even weirder is I have no clue who I'm mad at or why," she laid back on the grass to stare up at the moon, "Sometimes I wish Raikou would have told me more, then maybe I'd know why I feel so weird."
"So, you have really seen Raikou then?"
"Yes, I have. Many times. He tells me things that I wouldn't otherwise know. He's like a best friend with secrets from the Sacred Fire or something. He told me when we first met that I'd find some guy that would be like my soul mate or something. At first I thought it was just some twisted gobbly gook, but then I started feeling pains that aren't mine and having dreams."
"Everybody dreams," Cain said as he pondered this thing about the man.
"I know that, but not many dream like me. I can see things in my dreams, odd though they may seem, they play themselves out. Like the day I met you, I kept day dreaming about this pool of lava with a sphere in the center. After I saw it for just so long, the sphere started spinning in every which direction, sending fire flying everywhere and the day dream would get all clouded in smoke. Just like the smoke your Magcargo used and the Flame Roll Out it kept attacking with."
"That is really freaky," he said as he mused away about this weird coincidence.
Their train of thought derailed with Medira's screaming, "Get out, you little fungus, and go away!"
"Geez! I'm going! I'm going! But we'll meet up again! And when we do!" Daemeon was cut short by Medira kicking at him with her high-heeled boots triggering him running into the woods.
"Stupid little stain..." she mumbled as she returned to her business.
*^~^**^~^*
"She's starting to realize her bond with the Espeon," Raikou whispered as he focused on Eevy, "She's begun taking on its power of Foresight and Premonitions."
"Is it really right to give this girl all that power?" Suicune asked in a low tone, "Master William has such powers and sometimes even he has trouble controlling them."
"We agreed to give each Master their own abilities," Entei said, "But never did we agree on any such as this."
"True, she does have a certain difference about her. We gave Lance the power of his Dragons, Luri her endurance for cold from her Ice and Water, Will his Psychic's powers and Jason got his ability to mimic his Rapidash's speed. But this one has too much of a variety. The only choice would be to give her a little of each," Raikou answered.
"But do you realize, dear Beast of Lightning, just how much power that would give her? She'd have the speed of her Eevee, the cold endurance of her Vaporeon, the ability to withstand lava heat from her Flareon, the power to electrocute and hold out against thunder and lightning from her Jolteon, the energy gathering effects from her Umbreon, and the psychic tendencies of her Espeon. She'd be unstoppable, even to Lance," Suicune pointed out.
"Yes, but would she be able to hold up against Peter?" Entei asked wearily, "If he does return, which we know he will, if she becomes Champion, he'll be after her with all his might. She has to hold some power as protection."
"SOME, dear friend, SOME power," Suicune said a bit louder, "There is no reason to give her the powers of all her Pokemon. Why not just the Eevee? She's closest to it and-"
"Suicune, we have no reason not to entrust her with these gifts," Raikou spoke a bit nastily, "She has to be prepared for anything."
"Anything, Raikou, not everything."
"She'll still be vulnerable to certain things."
"Such as?"
"Ghostly attacks, Normal attacks, Grass attacks-"
"She's not a Pokemon, Raikou, we don't hold enough power over the humanly world to do this."
"Obviously we do, because it's working, is it not?" Entei said pointedly.
"She's already acquired the speed of the Eevee and some of the energy gathering effects from Umbreon. Now she's working toward her Espeon's psychic powers, like Will's. After this-"
"After this we stop," Entei's sudden change of tune alerted Raikou, "Suicune does have a point when you consider it."
"Really?" Raikou asked, "Why not sharpen my end, hmm?"
"All these powers flowing through her will slow her down, make her weak and even more vulnerable to Peter. The best thing to do is give her the powers of the three closest to her; the Eevee, Umbreon and Espeon. With three she'll be more than powerful enough to make it. But with six, she'd lose all her energy."
Raikou took a minute to consider this, "I do believe you have a point, though it may be on your head, I'm not sure. But none the less, we will stop after the full growth of the Espeon's powers and after she's gathered the power of Umbreon as well."
"That's a wise decision, Beast of Lightning, very wise," Suicune admitted to her friend's good decision.
"We should go," Entei said, "The Elite may worry."
*^~^**^~^*
Lance landed at the western end of the Training House. Before he even had time to get down off of Dragonite, Luri, Jason and Will were swarming over him.
"Where have you been?" Luri hissed, "You've been gone all night!"
"What have you been doing?" Jason asked, pushing in, "We were all supposed to be training!"
"You've got to tell us before running off!" Will spat, "Are you trying to be classified as missing in action?"
"Could the three of you just lay off for a bit?" he asked as he recalled his Pokemon and pushed past them, pulling his hood down over his face, "I've got a lot on my mind right now," he said, his voice just scratching away to turn to crying, "I'll be riding it off if you need me."
"You mean on Dragonite?" Luri asked.
"No," he retaliated slowly, "On my motorcycle, if you don't mind."
"You'd best be careful," Will added.
"I know that."
"Bye," Jason said simply as the roar of the engine deafened him.
^*^The Next Chronicle:^*^
Gifts From The Heart
~*~Notes~*~
Freaky chapter yet again. I know, aren't I weird? You'll have to excuse this chapter, I was having a hard time describing everything just right and I'm afraid I didn't do it quite good enough. Jen deserves a good kicking, doesn't she? Morty is way too protective, don't you think? The packages, you ask? Well, you can probably guess where they come from, but you may get a surprise...You never know with me *evil grin* I like a couple of those wise cracks in there like "...train of thought derailed..." and the conversation between the Beasts about Eevy with all the 'point' jokes. And the whole thing with morphing Team Rocket's motto was for fun and entertainment purposes only, K? It's late, what do you want from me?
