1. Water and Fire don't Mix

My gaze placed on the numerous shapes forming the map, my eyes ran across the lines that showed the paths we were supposed to follow to get to Real city. From time to time i took my eyes from the paper to make sure we were not sidetracked, and sighted in releife as i figured we were on the right way. Jolt trotted happily in front of me, emiting happy barks as he hopped after a yanma. I sighted and leaned against the rought bark of a tree trunk, i closed my eyes and pulled my scarf up as a small blow of icy wind played with my hair. I felt a tug on my pants, and looked down only to see Jolt biting them, i leaned down and patted his soft, spiky head, "whats with you, pal?" i asked my electric friend, Jold stuck his tounge out, "joltjoltjolt(i want the eons here)" he said, i smiled softly and giggeled. I took my bag, taking a small, squared box out of it, i placed the box on top of a nearby, low, rounded shaped stone. I oppened the box revealing the liquid monitor that belonged to my beloeved laptop, i turned it on, entered connection and typed my password away. The beeping showed it was calling, i pulled the mycrophone out and i leaned next to it, ready to talk. Prof.Trace picked up the call, he smiled as he saw my face on his videophone, "hi proffesor, can i exchange two pokemon for espeon and umbreon?" i asked, the proffesor smiled and turned arround. He stood up fom his seat and walked away through a white door visible from the position of the videophone, he returned a while later with two finely shapped, shiny, red and white pokeballs, he sat down again, "well, you say, wich pokemon will you send?" he asked softly. I thought for a minute touching my chin, and then gasped as the idea snapped in my head, i leaned closer to the microphone, "i will send Nymph and lapras, they are not too useful in this conditions" i reasoned, the proffesor nodded and placed the pokeballs on the teleporter, i did the same with a small teleporter that stuck from the side of my laptop.

The two pokeball materialized onto the small device connected to my laptop, i picked them up and closed connection to continue with my trip. The sun started setting, we could see it disappear behind the tall colossus that stood pridefully over us showing its dominant power. The smooth clouds that covered us had a creamy icy colour, they stood very still, enclosing us in our own little world. As it had gotten darker the atmosphere surrounding us got colder and colder, reaching a few degrees under 0. the wind blew strongly, freezing every inch of my body. Jolts spiky fur was now standing loosely on his body as he hopelessly tried to heat himself up. I pulled my hat down to cover my ears, and my scarf up to cover my nose, i ended with my gloves and closing my feather coat completely. "uf, its freezing here" i said, a small cloud of vapor came out of my mouth and filtrated through the fibers of my woolen scarf, Jolt nodded in agreement as a shiver ran down his spine and made him shake all over. I realized how cold he was, he tiptoed as if trying to avoid stepping on the cold, frozen grass. I picked him up and placed him closer to my body by wrapping him with my coat, "there, now we will both be warm" i told him, he looked up sleepily and smiled.

I kept walking across the ghostly forest, only a few cicadaceus that stood at the sides of the path, had their spiky leaves hanging from their branches, the rest of the trees had lost their smooth coat of emerald leaves, wich gave them a spooky appereance. I looked at my watch and gasped realizing it was very late, i loked at the sleeping dog on my arms and shook him a bit, he blinked several times and looked at me sleepily and disturbed, "hey, Jolt buddy, dont fall asleep" i told him, Jolt realized what i had meant and efforted to remain awake.

I felt something soft and cold fall on my nose, i shivered a bit at the surprise and looked up at the sky. I saw tiny white spots floating down, misteriously and peacefully. They were like the stars that every night observed us from the top, that had decided to come down and rest on the surface of our planet. I speeded a bit hoping to get somewhere soon enough, before the snow that was starting to cover the floor with their blank rug, slowed us and posibly froze us. i kept walking, the thick curtain of falling snow imposibilized my complete vision. Suddenly, i stopped, Jolt shot his head up to stare straight into my eye, i didnt watch him, i looked at the path, it was gone. The snow had covered it completely, and now we were lost, lost to the will of the elements.

Sensing the frustration and danger, a pokeball that hanged from a silvery chain located arround my neck started moving, but i payed no atention. The fury of the creature located inside grew bigger, and finally it released itself from the metallic and electronic cage where it lived. The reddish beam of energy shapped the features of the animal perfectly, a pair of strong wings to fly across the skies, a set of sharp claws located on the arms and legs, used to tear flesh, two horns to intimidate any possible danger, a long neck to stand its royalty and pride, and a set of fangs situated inside a sharp mouth, and a strong jaw, that would make even the most fearsome gyarados turn away. I looked at the creature's violet eyes and it looked down at me, with a caring and soft expresion that anyone would have thought impossible in this animal, mostly known for its strong temper and fearless personality. I patted her softly as she emmited a soft roar of gratefuless and peace knowing we were all right. I smiled, "Flamie, do you think you can help us find a city or town nearby?" i asked the animal in front of me, "charchaaar(of course, Jag, i will be back with the speed of a lighting)" the dragon answered softly as she took off to find any place where we could take shelter. The charizard flapped her wings, the falling snow either bounced off or flew spirally out of the way as the wings formed a small breeze. The reddish creature flew off into the mists of night, she disappeared through the beauty of snow, leaving small sparks of her flaming tail behind, all me and Jolt could do now was wait for her return.

The great creature flew as fast as her wings could carry her, passing through the thick curtain of snow. Sometimes her violet eyes would close as the frozen sparks that fell from the sky entered the two misterious violet jewels. Her gaze pierced trough the falling snow as she swore she had seen a faint signal of any possible human activity. She flapped her wings to increase the speed, making snow fly across the wind in a zigzaggin motion to finally meet her flaming tail. Continously melt into small transparent jewels that fel down at a faster speed, freezing with the low temperatures and transforming into small blueish crystals that smashed into millions of tiny particles once their delicate structure entered contact with the hard ground. Flamie kept her speed and direction, without looking at anything else but the sparking lights at the horizon. Suddenly and out of nowhere appeared an enormous, and elongated snake. The head of the creature was smooth, a pair of dark, misterious eyes decorated it, two feathery wings, like those of a pegasus, stuck out of her head, a horn decorated the middle. The rest of her body was blueish, shiny, that could almost blend in with the icy enviroment, and two spheres decorated the end of her tail, givng it a misterious appereance. Flamie stopped dry as she was almost nocked over by the emerging creature of the mist, she lost her balance and started falling torwards the darkness of the forest, unable to move her tired wings anymore. Seeing her doom near, Flamie lost all hopes and closed her eyes, her way to say, "im ready, take me" but through her inteligent mind raced a whole collection of thoughts and memories. Flamie saw many images, when she first saw Jag, she was happy and joyful as she could see this human didnt want to be only her tainer, but her friend, they both needed a friend so they both had each other. She then saw the time when she helped with Jag's first capture, the sweet bulbasaur. Another snap of the hard drive and she saw herself about to be eaten by a gyarados, but Jack held her and lifted her up placing her on his lapras. Another image was her, already chaizard, Jag riding on her back as they zigzagged and raced after the dragonite. Many thoughts raced across, but all of them had something in common, no matter what happened Jag had always trusted her, she had always been there, saving the day with her true power. Flamie oppened her eyes, hewr fury loked at the trees, she was sure of something, Jag is a dragon trainer and she isnt going to be the one deceiving her. She extended her huge wings wich razored across the hard coniferous' branches, she roared spitting her ultimate attack, flamethrower, burning through the branches, leaves and trees, she flew out roaring like the champion she was.

The snow melted in her way as she shot her attack, leaving an open path for the queen of dragons to pass through. The sparks she saw a long time ago had become clearer and now were a very well defined little rural town, she landed in front of one of the houses, it was a nice little house, built completely out of stone, the door was wooden, wich many cracks that defined its age, the roof was wood as well, and the windows were glass, there where some cracks wich indicated this was a place with a normal temperature below 0ºC in winter. On the roof stood one old chimney, a long but faint cloud of smoke floated out, Flamie knew this house was inhabited, she roared to call the person's atention. After a few minutes of insistent roaing, the door oppened with a loud shriek, Flamie stopped roaring as the light of a candle lit her face, she looked down and saw a woman standing on the door. The woman's hair was long, dark brown with some white hairs showing through, her skin was light, but slightly wrinkly, she was dressed with a sweater and a pair of blue pants, a little white jacket covered her shoulders. She looked at the dragon with her deep, brown eyes, observing every inch of the animal, Flamie smiled at her. The woman gasped and covered her mouth, she walked torwards the dragon who steped back hesitantly, "oh no, dont be afrad of me, please, fire dragon" the woman said standing on her place as she noticed the fear of the powerful creature. Flamie calmed down as she heard her sweet voice running across her ears. The woman walked front and touched the little medal that hanged from Flamie's neck, it was a round medal, wooden, and inside it was carved the symbol of a flame, red and yellow, the coin was tied with a black cord that surrounded the dragon's orange neck. The woman looked at her, "i gave my nephew a medal like this when she was bornt, i wished she would become a fire master like her aunt used to be, she must be 16 now, i wonder wich pokemon she chose and where is she now" the woman explained, Flamie roared softly, with a tone of calm as she heard those words. The woman looked into Flamie's violet eyes, "you are very proud, but inside yourself you are one sweet, caring animal, without any bit of real viciousness in your soul, only one fine tainer will do this, who is your trainer dragon?" the woman asked, Flamie smiled and bend down on the floor. The woman observed the great creature carving a name with one of her sharp claws, she read the name aloud "Jaguar...Jaguar?" her eyes oppened wide as she read that name, she looked at the dragon, "dragon tell me, where is your trainer" the calm woman said now altered, Flamie looked at the horizon and extended her wings emiting a loud roar that could be hear for a long time after the mouth was shut.

The woman ran inside, Flamie looked at her leave thinking she had lost this battle, she got ready to return and help her trainer, but then, the middle aged returned, a pokeball in her hand, she tossed it, "go Unicorn" the woman yelled. The pokeball flew through the wind and snow, it split open and the energy kept inside was released, it shapped into a wonderful animal, it was of a purer white than snow, a horn decorated the forehead, the icy blue eyes under it reflected courage, and a fiery mane stuck out of the head, a row of fire ran through the back, and the tail, also made of fire, whipped nervously. The woman rode on the horse, she looked at the dragon, "come on charizard, show me the way to your master" she comanded, Flamie nodded, she roared proudly torwards the sky and flapped her powerful wings several times to lift her weight up. She flew like a jet torwards her trainer, now worried about her well being, the woman held onto the horse's neck, under he comand the animal lifted up a bit to impulse her whole body forwards, and finally started a quick trot across the village, through the hill and torwards the forest, her gaze locked on the flaming dragon above her.

I was getting colder by the minute, the snow fell stronger and it seemed as the wind blowing was even more freezing than before, my legs could not keep my body up and i ended collapsing under my own weight. I slowly started to drift into a painful sleep, unable to keep awae any more, i gave up, something Jolt had done a long while ago. I looked at the sky one more time, expecting to see my trusty dragon return with my salvation, but i saw nothing but the slow, motioning snow flakes, floating down lazily, i closed my eyes and waited for what was to come.

The fire dragon flew alarmed, across the same fores she had flown before, the flaming horse galloped under her, making a few lazy sounds as her hoofs entered the thick base of snow that was situated under the leafless trees. Flamie noticed something in the middle of the snow covered path, she flew torwards the figure and landed with such a speed and strength that she almost flipped over herself. With her mouth she removed the snow covering the figure, it was her trainer, her face pale and cold. Flamie roared a call torwards the horse that was on the way, she then looked at her trainer, her violet eyes watered with sadness and worriedness, she gently placed a paw on her neck, her heart was beating, she was alive, but her breathing was slowing down as her body froze slowly. The horse leapt up and stopped right in front of the young woman, the older woman went down of her animal and walked torwards the human and the dog that layed motionless in front of her. The woman looked at Flamie, "dragon, you have to carry then torwards my house, and hurry" she said looking at her seriously, Flamie nodded and leaned down, the older woman placed the teenager on Flamie's back, and then ran torwards the horse, she looked at the animal and yeled "NOW". As soon as both creatures heard this, they started moving, Flamie took off carefully so Jag would not fall off, and the horse started galloping at full speed torwards her home, leaving an acute neight on the frosty winds.

Some time later, Flamie was inside the house, she observed the stone walls decorated with pictures and photographs of people, the furniture was also made of wood, their old style was emphasized with some dry flowers or some copper frame with an old black and white picture. The aprks emited by the dancing flame from the chimney created magical figures of shades and lights on the dragon's skin, but she didnt even bother, her gaze locked in a closed door, door belonging to one of the few old rooms in the house. Inside this room, Flamie's trainer was on the edge, so was her old pal Jolt, the old woman was working on both of them to bring them back to life. Flamie's head straightened over her elongated neck, her eyes looked arround perceptively as she swore she had heard a rather familiar trotting, she gazed arround seeing nothing but hearing pawsteps getting closer. She saw a small figure run past, it was a little dog, al fury, a huge, fury tail wich was as big as his whole body, the brown tail was ended in a bunch of creamy white fur, his neck was surrounded by a collar of creamy white fur, the ears were long and brown, the eyes were black like a couple of beetles, and the smile declared its outgoing and happy personality. The creature stopped right in front of the enormous creature, he looked at her, Flamie looked down, right into his eyes, a warm feeling running through her. Compassion or maybe a kind of friendly love, nostalgy possibly, anything it could have been, she knew this creature was inocent, like her charmander self. The little animal looked at the colossus in front of him, he knew that she could squash him like a fly, but a comforting feeling of friendship and confidence entered his heart, he somewhat knew the great animal in front of him would not harm him. The shrieking of a door startled both creatures, wich snapped out of their hypnosis, the little dog looked front as the old woman came out, her hands covered with water, she looked at the animals, "Llama, come here" she comanded, the little fury dog obeyed and trotted torwards the woman. The woman's eyes turned torwards the dragon, she walked slowly and calmly torwards the animal, Flamie gasped expecting the worst, she moved back a bit. A comforting hand layed on her shoulder, and a calming smile was shot torwards her, "it is ok Flamie, they will be all right" the woman explained, Flamie sighted pleased, a sight that did sound much more like a roar, but the woman understood.

The birds chirped out of the stone house, Flamie's eyes oppened and blinked a few times as the sun light was directed straight torwards them, she observed her surroundings trying to get back to reality. She observed the ashes at the chimney, still glowing red at some areas, she was laying on a soft, smooth carpet, right in front of the chimney. She yawned deeply and stretched her muscles, they hurted from last night's frenetic flight across the winds, but she didnt care about it. She looked at the door that stood closed in front of her, keeping her away from her beloved master. Flamie pushed her heavy body up and closed her wings tightly against her back, by doing that, she was sure not to throw any of the delicate decorations that hanged from the walls and stood sparklying on the old, wooden tables. She walked slowly torwards the room where her friends where kept, she stoped in front of the door and placed a paw on its cracked and wooden suface, a sight escaped her fangs. Flamie was lost in her thoughts, she didnt notice the door being oppened, she didnt see the woman standing in front of her, the same old lady from last night. She snapped out of her thoughts when something fury ran past her, getting too close and tickeling her leg with a soft, silky brush of fur. Flamie almost fell down from the surprised this pleasant tickleling had caused on her, but remained still as she noticed the woman looking at her. The woman did nothing for a few minutes wich made Flamie's nerves race from her head to her stomach and back. The woman then shot a smile at the red ragon and turned arround, walking in, Flamie hesitated a bit before entering, but finally did. She paced inside the room wich was brightly lighted, the sun played with the sparks of dust givng the room a mistycal and even sacred look, the walls were built of stone and there where some pictures and paintings hanged from the walls, an old desk, beautifully carved and with a small photograph. It was a young girl, no older than 14, she looked a lot like Jag, and was dressed like a horse rider and next to her was a small, very bright white ponyta, a flaming mane could be seen behind the horse, the eyes where different from normal ponytas, they were icy blue, and a leather briddle was surrounding the mouth and head. Flamie looked at the horse's eyes, they were icy blue, she had seen those eyes somewhere, and it finally hit her, that ponyta must be the rapidash the woman owned so the old lady must be this young girl. The reddish dragon turned her head and focused on a small wooden bed, laying on the bed, covered with two thick, wool blankets, was her beloved trainer. A tear scaped her eye as she observed the motionless teenager laying in a coma in front of her.

I felt myself lighter by the minute, being pulled torwards something, or someone. Images flew in front of my eyes, at the speed of lightning making it hard to recognice, those images stopped. I saw myself dressed in a beautiful white dress, long, and sleeveless, very tight till my waist, shapping my body perfectly, and very loose from the waist down. My hair fell loose over my shoulders and my naked feet stepped on the moist grass. I looked arround, admiring the beauty of the surroundings, it seemed so real but at the same time so unreal and imaginary. The trees where covered with bright green leaves that emmited a silvery glittering as the sun washed them with its light. The grass under me was soft like cotton, wet with dew and the same green as the leaves. I heard a sound, a soft splashing of water, my curiosity overpowered me as i started walking through the grass, the calming sound getting louder as i neared the source. I reached a sandy path, very few pebbles were situated at the sides, the path stretched along the forest until it disappeared in the mystical horizon. I hesitated a bit before stepping on the sand, but once i did i noticed the path was soft, and the sand was cold but dry, like the silky sand of a deserted beach on the cool morning of a wonderful summer. My icy blue eyes gazed across the path and i motioned slowly, leaving my thin footprint behind, the trail of my existance in this magical place. I walked slowly but steady across the path, the trees covered me, making a roof of silvery green leaves. I noticed something on the distance, a colum of bright, silvery light entered through a gap in the forest, my eyes stared at it for a long time as i quickened my pace. I stopped right in front of the light, i neared my hand slowly and touched it, it penetrated the light but nothing happened, i then moved my whole body inside, but i felt nothing. I looked up looking for the source of this magical light, and my eyes widdened. The silvery moon reflected on the dark spehere surrounded by a line of icy blue that formed my eyes, arround the moon was a starry night sky, it was night but it seemed like it was day inside this strange forest.

The previous sound became more intense, it made me snap out of this hypnotizing trance. I walked away from the light to walk torwards the soft sound, that delicately seemed to be caling my name. I reached a pathcross and stopped trying to decide wich way to follow, i looked left, then right, back and forth, and examinated carefully both ways, as if my future depended from them. The left path was straight, it reached the end of this forest, and oppened into a grassy field showered by the sun light, small sparks of colour spreaded arround. The right path was much different, there where stones and hard roots forming a way down into another path, wich disappeared in the mist of night. I observed both of them, wich of them should i chose? Easy or hard? Reality or dream? I walked one step front, but stopped and moved back again, i analized the paths again. I finally decided wich path to take, and i moved torwards the rought way down, i stepped on the stoned specting to hurt myself but i felt nothing, they covered with moss as soon as i stepped on them. I reached the bottom and started walking again, the forest got darker the further i went, and after a while of walking through the soft beach sand, i reached the end. The forest extended further than my eyes could reach, but the path had made an end right in front of a curtain of tangeled plants. I moved them apart, my hand covered with the soft, morning dew as it touched the wet, greenish leaves. I moved through it, and a moist, humid fog surrounded me, the sound was now very clear, it was water splashing, it was the song of a waterfall.

I walked front, the shades in front of me turning into clear figures that i could identify, i stopped as i felt nothing in front of me. I looked down and saw a stair made completely out of stone. I stepped on the first step, it was cold and wet, but i felt a calming relaxation running through every muscle of my body. I stepped on the next step, this feeling became more intense, and one by one i stepped on each of the ten steps that made their way down, feeling more calm and relaxed every step. I finally reached the end and i stepped front, out of the fog, and amazed, i looked arround. I was in a cave, the walls were smooth, polished stone, a curtain of water fell from the top. I moved torwards the crystaline water, i touched it and it moved arround my hand, leaving a feeling of pleasant coolness. In front of my eyes, the waterfall oppened, i stepped front and moved right into a flat, smooth stone, the waterfall closed again, to keep wichever secret it guarded. I sat on the stone, the dress covering my legs. My eyes gazed across the place, it was a small lake, washed by the moonlight, the river disappeared through the forest, wich closed forming a greenish wall arround the clear water. I heard a splashing of legs entering the water, wich atracted my atention, i looked arround and saw the most magnificent creature ever. It was a horse, of a very pure white, the mane was silky, and had a silvery shade under the beams of the full moon, a spiral, silvery white horn, decorated its forehead, the eys where deep and dark, and its graceful figure walked elegantly torwards me, leaving trails of magic behind itself, where its silvery hooves stepped.

It stopped right in front of me, staring with its dark, deep eyes, wich reflected nothing, like black holes. It lowered its head pointing me with the horn, i wanted to move and run, but stood still, hypnotized by the beauty fo this incredible creature. It moved front a bit, touching my chest with the tip of the horn, i felt scared at first, but i didnt move a muscle. The animal pressed a bit, the horn entering right through myself, but i didnt feel any pain. I realized the whole horn had passed right through me, but i was still alive, or was i? The horse moved back and looked at me, i felt a bright aura surrounding me, the same colour of the moon. The animal then turned arround and looked behind torwards me, "ride" a female voice echoed in my head, i pointed myself, and the mare nodded. I crawled torwards the animal and carefully leapt down onto her back, trying not to harm her in any way. Once she felt i was onto her, she moved up, standing on her hind legs, emmiting a magical sound, as she impulsed her body forward and trotted elegantly across the lake. With a leap we entered the forest, entering through the thick wall of plants, like a spirit. She trotted faster than any animal i had ever seen, overpassed easily the speed of Jolt himself, and she as far more graceful than a pigeot. A light was seen at the end, very bright light, and as we went closer i felt myself heavier as we were reaching the light, i closed my eyes and felt peace and calm as we passed through.

I sighted a bit as i oppened my eyes, a beam of light was focused right into my eyes, i felt something covering my body, it was a warm quilt. I looked arround and saw a happy looking, red dragon standing at the side of my bed, i examined every feature of the familiar animal and saw a necklace arround its neck, with the symbol of a flame, i smiled and sat up on the bed, "Flamie? Is that you?" i said. The animal walked closer, trying to contain her tears, "charchaar(yes, it is me)" she roared softly, i hugged her tightly, tears streamig down my cheeks, "oh Flamie, you have saved us" i said, i felt her sob uncontrolably as she realized i was ok, her strong arms and claws surrounded my body giving me a tight but caring hug. I oppened my eyes and looked at her, she smiled warsmly at me, but as i came into realization of what had happened i started to panick, i looked arround "Jolt? Where is Jolt?" i almost screamed slowly recovering my strength, Flamie looked at me calmly, like the horse from my dream, i felt a little better but was still nervous about my loyal friend. A woman that had been in a corner all the time, and that i still hadnt realized about her existance, walked forwards, "calm down my child, your friend is out with Llama, my eevee" she said pacing slowly torwards the window, and looking out with a knowing smile. I stood up eakly, being helped by the dragon as my legs failed the first attepmt to mantain my body weight, i continued in walking torwards the window and looked through it, i smiled with pleasure and happiness. Jolt was outside, trotting arround the fresh snow, falling and rolling on it as an eevee pup played with him, the brownish fur covered totally with icy snow, their yells and barks of joy and happiness echoed in the valley, totally covered with snow that reflected the new day's bright sun.

A little later i was sitting on a soft couch, next to the chimney, where a sparkling flame danced at the sound of an inaudible music. I held a hot cup of warm, peach tea on my hands, and took a small zip gasping at the hot drink inside my mouth, a warm feeling spreaded through my body as i felt the liquid go down my throat, chest and stomach. The woman looked at me and smiled, "young lady, what is your name?" she asked sweetly, i moved my eyes up, away from the cup, "well, my friends call me Jaguar, or Jag, so i would be pleased to be kept that name" i said smiling, the woman smiled pleased, "Jaguar, i see you are a very talented trainer, have you got any other pokemon apart from your charizard and your jolteon?" she asked confidently, "well, i have 25 pokemon" i said proudly, "amazing, and when did you start?" she asked again, i wondered why she was asking so many questions, "well, i started on late January, when i was still 15" i explained, not so confident right now, "good, and where do you come from?" the old woman asked once again, i felt rather intimidated at this point, wondering how far her questions will go, "we...well, i am from Maikan island, i am the gym leader from it" i explained, "very good, and one last question" she said. I felt rather pleased, she was going to ask the last question and hopefully leave me alone, i placed a hand on my pokeball, the one that contained Spyro, ready to send him out in case i might be in danger. The woman looked down, and i swore i saw a tear drop down her face, glittering with the few sun beams that enter the room, "tell me girl, where did you get the medal your pokemon is wearing?"she asked, i looked at the ceiling placing a finger on my lips thoughtfully, "hum...i believe i had it ever since i was bornt, i just remember having it always, i gave it to Flamie because she is my first pokemon, and my friend" i explained, the woman smiled pleased. I was curious, we stood in a tense silence for a moment, then she looked at me with her same loving smile, "dont be afraid my child, if i am asking so many questions it is because my nephew is also a girl from Maikan, she must be your age now too, she must look a lot like you, and i gave her the same medal your pokemon has, a medal i carved myself" she explained, i gasped shocked at her words. The woman stood up from the sofa and walked torwards Flamie, who was sleeping quietly on front of the chimney, like an oversized dog in winter. The lady bent down and took her medal, Flamie lifted her head and looked at her, showing no sing of agression or anger,but mostly respect and gratefulness. The woman turned the medal arround to read the signature at the other side, she then smiled pleased and looked at me, standing up. I could see tears in her eyes, and her lips twisted at bit as she seemed to burst into a happy crying, she oppened her arms, "Jag, my nephew" she said and run torwards me, giving me a loving hug and nearly strangeling me, "a...aunty" i said, she looked at me and smiled, "so you chose charmander, like i wanted, a fire pokemon, good girl" she said, seeming more familiar by the minute, even tho i hadnt seen her since i was born.

That morning we talked about my journeys and she told me about her journey when she started, being a little younger than me, "well, i started with a male ponyta, his name was Speedy, he was amazing, the most beautiful ponyta in the entire universe" she explained, showing me a few pictures of her and Speedy as both, ponyta and rapidash, and truly it was the most beautiful pokemon i had ever seen, and it looked much like the horse in my dream. I looked at her as i felt her sob sofly, i placed a hand on my shoulder, "what happened to Speedy?" i asked, my aunty looked at me, "he saved my life, i was trying to protect the cubs of a suicune, a very rare pokemon, that lives nearby, the poachers where after them, one of them ran torwards me and pushed me aside, i lost my grip and fell into a river" she motioned her body and arms, standing up several times, trying to send the message of what she was feeling at that moment, through her mimicking. She sat down again "the water was freezing, like a thousand needles in my body, Speedy jumped into the river to get me, he managed to push me out of the water, but his energies had wasted amazingly, there was nothing i could do" she said burting into a saddening cry, i hugged her comfortingly, and i observed Flamie was looking with an interested look, like that of a confused puppy. My aunty looked at me, rubbing her tears off, "well, you said you are a gym leader, lets see how good you are, i chalenge you to a battle" she said, i moved back a bit surprised, "but i must be at the gym, and anyways my gym pokemon arent with me at the moment" i explained, my aunty laughed softly, "not a gym battle, a normal battle" she said, i shrugged and smiled rather confident, "all right" i snapped.

We where outside, in a snow covered, improvised battlefield, my aunty looked at me confidently, she was not going to be an easy match, "this will be 3on3, no items will be used, if you win you will get the pokemon in this pokeball" she said showing me a normal, red and white, metallic pokeball, i nodded in agreement. She picked a little pokeball from her waist, enlarged it and tossed it onto the battlefield, "go, Fenyx" she yelled. A large figure appeared in front of her, a pair of powerful wings decorated the back, a long neck, sharp head and powerful fangs gave it a fearsome looking, a collection of claws able to slice a piece of metal and a long tail ended in a flame, the charizard almost doubled Flamie in size. I gasped at the powerful roar of the male dragon, "so, you want dragons? You will have dragons, go Spyro" i yelled at the top of my lungs, the light, orange coloured dragon came out of his pokeball, a pair of long legs and arms ended in sharp claws, a horn and a pair of little anthens, two wings that allowed him a graceful and speedy movement on the sky, and a round face ended in a mouth full of teeth. Both dragons looked at each other with rage, sparks flying through their gaze, determination surrounded them, the thought and convincement of who was the best. My aunty seemed to become another person as her fire dragon was on the arena, she made a quick move with her hand and pointed at Spyro with her finger, "Fenyx, slash the dragon" he yelled getting a much deeper and louder roar than Flamie's as a response. Spyro moved a step front, he looked at me from the corner of the eyes, and i snapped out of my stupoir just in time, "hum, Spyro, dogge it and thunder" i yelled. Spyro sang and flapped his wings a few times to lift up his weight, the charizard had missed just by an inch, and was angry, without waiting for a comand, he shot a flamethrower at Spyro. The colum of fire flew torwards my air dragon, not quick enough to doge it, he got hit, emmiting a loud and painful yell he flapped his wings, remaining on the air, the anthenas on his head started charging with electricity, and as it reached the maximum power allowed, a current of shocking electricity flew across the battlefield, sending shrills across my spine. The charizard got hit, he roared loudly and tried to attack back, his whole body was paralized, i saw his muscles motioning slightly, mostly like a shiver, for a few minutest the tension raised incredibly, but finally the dragon gave up and collapsed. My aunty seemed a bit disapointed, and i could see the painful look of failure in the dragon's dark purple eyes, my aunty raised a pokeball, "Fenyx, good job, return" she comanded and with that, the pokemon was engulfed inside the metallic sphere with a beam of red energy.

I congratulated my dragon and got ready for the next pokemon, my aunty smiled wisely as she picked a pokeball, i observed her movements with caution. She passed an arm across herself, a pokeball in her hand, "you have seen power, now you will see charm, go Vixen" she yelled, the pokeball spinned across the chilly air, and it finally collapsed onto the snow covered floor. It oppened emmiting a rather bright glow from inside, the white light shapped a creature not much bigger than a german shepperd, but with a tail like a peacock. The light faded revealing a creamy white wolf, with a sharp mouth and head, reddish brown, cunning eyes, the neck covered with fur, an a crest of fur falling from her head, a slim figure and thin legs, and nine, beautiful, fury tails. I picked my pokedex to check the stats of this new pokemon, "ninetales, the fox pokemon, this cunning animal is very vengeful, a lenged says that if you hold one of its many tails you will be cursed for a thousand years. An adult ninetales has nine tails while young tend to have six, it is very quick and usually a loner, only seen together when its breeding season and both parents are with the cubs, or couples of ninetales" the pokedex's metallic voice said, the ninetales tilted her head from side to side at the sound of the machine, in a rather cute move like a confused puppy. I picked another pokeball, "lets see how you trick my dog, cunning fox, go Garurumon" i yelled. The beam of rather dark energy shapped a creature, a og completely black, and white markings arround the neck, legs, and back, a pair of dark horns decorated a slightly sharp head, finished in a set of sharp teeth, a long, whip-like tail ended in an arrow-like end. The houndoom growled angrily, showing its precious treasure of pearl white teeth, his head was down in a very offensive move. My aunty seemed confident, "Vixen, show this black, breedless dog, who is the dominat female" she yelled in a rather annoying tone, Vixen answered with a very sweet bark, like the whimpering of a newborn puppy, i looked at my pokemon, "Garurumon, be careful, she is much tougher than she looks like" i explained, Garurumon twisted his head to look at me, and with a bark and a nod, he sent a message of confidence into me.

The battle started, Garurumon trotted torwards her ready for a deadly crunch, the ninetales bent on the floor and when Garurumon was about to bite her, she jumped up like a spring, and once up she sent one amazing fireblast at the defenseless, dark dog. Garurumon got hit by the attack, he yelped in pain, and efforted to run out of the way. Vixen landed in front of me, the looked at garurumon with rage, he sat there, breathing heavily from the previous effort. Like if an invisible sing had commanded her to do so, she trotted torwards Garurumon and hit him with a take down that smashed him against the floor, penetrating the soft snow and hitting a hard rock on the way down. I payed atention at the hole, nothing was happening for a few moments, Vixen looked at me proudly. Almost surprising us, the snow moved, and Garurumon bursted out with a loud howl, he lepat torwards me and looked with saddened eyes, wich would have melted the hardest heart on the surface of the earth. His eyes closed and his body collapsed, i bent down patting the soft head of a dark pokemon, as pure as light itself, "good job, return" i comanded sending the animal back into his pokeball. I stood up looking with rage, "the pokemon you are going to battle now has the characteristic of speed, how will you battle that?" my aunty asked, i knew exactly what to used and nodded with my yes focused on the battlefield. My relative picked a pokeball, "dont be overconfident, go Unicorn" she yelled, a pokeball flew for a third time, and in front of the woman matherialized the horse i had seen in my dream, except that this animal had blue eyes and a tounge of fire instead of a silvery, silky mane. I looked down at the spiky dog at my left, like if he had expected this to happen, he looked up at me, his dark eyes looked inside my soul, and with only a gaze of my eyes, he jumped into the battlefield to face the powerful horse.

I picked the pokedex, "rapidash, the horse pokemon, this pokemon lives on fields, usually gathered in herds, it is very speedy and will easily outrun most of its enemies" the pokedex said wisely, i gasped a bit, slightly worried for my beloved friend. the last round began without a sing, Unicorn the rapidash dashed at full speed torwards my jolteon, "Jolt, dogge and bite" i yelled, Jolt nodded emiting a sharp, dry bark. He ran arround and leapt on the horse, biting her back, blood stained the silvery white coat that characterized this animal, and a niegh of terror was heard. She shook Jolt off easily, who flew and hit the floor with his side, a quick move made him spin and land on his paws right in front of me. The hairs on his back go the sharpest they could get, small sparks of electricity flew off his fur, his head lowered and with a loud, elongated bark, he released his valuable cargo of electricity, blasting torwards the horse who nieghed in pain and fell onto the freezing floor. I was going to take advantage of the deffenseless animal and finish her off, "go Jolt, finish her with your bite" i yelled, Jolt nodded with a small, sharp bark, and speeded off torwards the creature. Unicorn lifted her head, her blueish eyes looked torwards me, in time to see the scary view of two sets of sharp fangs and teeth about to bite her. She looked surprised but threw her whole weight torwards the front part, her right leg kept next to her body, and in the exact moment, she stretched it, kicking Jolt hard on the chest. Jolt fell back and rolled on the snow, covering his fur with the frozen water. Unicorn stood up quickly and looked at me, with her calm expression, she nieghed and stood up, oppening her mouth wide. Her throat heated with the flaming fire, and continuously developed an amazing flamethrower. The attack hit Jolt before he could notice the events, the snow arround him melted and all wich was left when the moke and fire cleared was Jolt soaked to the bones, laying in the middle of a round area, like a roman mini- colisseum. Under the yellow dog, the grass had a dull shade of green, transparent and sick, oviously frozen. My aunty walked forth one step, "there is no questioning on who is the winner, right?" she said in a rather proud tone i disliked. Unicorn lifted her head proudly, moving it from side to side and nieghting with happiness. I was speechless, still trying to process the events in the battlefield, when a thunder that came out of nowhere flew across the arena and reached its goal, Unicorn. The horse yelled standing up on her hind legs, and fell down paralized, out of the hole where the flamethrower hit jumped Jolteon, tired but gracefully, he stared at Unicorn with rage. The magnificent creature looked at my aunty with sad eyes, in what seemed to be stating that she gave her best, she fainted right after and my aunty looked at me. At first i was afraid, but her eyes were calm, and she even seemed happy, she walked torwards me, Jolted stood protectively in front, "its ok Jolt, calm down" i comanded. He looked at me, emitted a soft whimper and moved apart, still carefull and under guard, in case this woman decided to play a dirty trick on me, instead she turned arround, returned Unicorn and faced me again. She placed a hand on my shoulder, "you have batteled well, my girl, and im proud of you, here, have this, you deserve it" she said handing me the pokeball that sucked Unicorn. I was about to complain but before i could, i found myself holding the pokeball, and my aunty returning home.

Inside the house, we took a cup of hot tea to relax from the tension of the battle, my aunty gasped and looked at me, "i believe you will be leaving soon, right?" she asked in her characteristical sweet and caring voice, i closed my eyes for a seccond and oppened them again with a nod, "yes, i must go on in my journey, and i have to return to my gym soon too, i cant have it unattended much longer" i explained, my aunty made a motion with the head "i understand, but before you leave, there is something else i want to give you" she said. I oviously complained, she had just given me her best pokemon, why was she doing this? She hardly even knew me. My aunty stood up, placed a hand next to her mouth and yelled out a name, "Llama!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, "yama?" i said tilting my head sidewards, my aunty giggeled, and a small fury dog came trotting inside, "this is Llama, the eevee" she explained holding the lovely creature. I looked at it without bothering to check the info in my pokedex, "but...thats for me?" i asked looking up, "yes, Jag, train it well, and hopefully he will become a flareon, the best one ever" she said with a happy smile, "but...i cant" i said. My aunty looked at me disappointed, "Jag, dear, i am not going to be able to train him, and i have other pokemon of my own, Llama is young, he needs a good trainer, and you are the one" she said giving me the animal. I couldnt refuse, i picked him up and he licked me happily, waving his tail.

I packed my things and walked out, i looked back one more time to see my aunty standing at the door of her old, medieval house, she waved and entered inside. I smiled and witha sight, i turned arround, although Llama started crying, revolving in my arms, i looked at him with concerned eyes, his tear stained, black eyes looked at me, "you miss her, dont you?" i asked him, Llama nodded. I turned arround to walk back and leave Llama with my aunty, but to my surprise, the old house wasnt the same as it had been a while ago, it looked completely devastated with the age, the wooden roof was literally falling apart, the stones that formed the walls were covered with moss and looked as if they hadnt been cleaned in ages. The windows where broken and enclosed with spider webs, the door was leaning on the rotten frame, i felt a wave of surprised and fright as i started runnng torwards the house, dropping the puppy on the floor. I stormed inside, feeling a cloud of dust cover me, and coughing at the npleasant tickeling and taste of the age. I ran torwards the room, going through the corridor, the living room, the hall, every single place i had seen was totally diferent. The beautiful antique frniture was rotten, eaten by bugs and moldy, the chimney had some "fossilized" black charcoal. The sofas where shredded and spider webs decorated the place. I enterd in the room, the bed was cold, and moist, old and in bad shape, a few roaches walked arround, wich made me feel sick. I stepped on something and hear the cracking sound of chrystal, i looked down and saw the picture with the woman and the rapidash, it looked much older, and had a shade of old brownish. I turned it arround and read the date, "1855...wait a minute, that means my aunty must have been dead for at least 80 years" i said feeling goosebumps go up my spine. Without hesitation i picked the picture and ran out of the house, hearing the chracking of wood under my feet, and almost stepping on the two dogs on my frenetic run.

I didnt look back, i kept running till i reached the forest, i then looked at Llama, i took his paws, "Llama, puppy, tell me you are not a hundred years old" i comanded him, his expression seemed scared at first, but then i saw a smile growing and finally a laugh coming out of his lips, i sighted, "ok, that is a good sing...i guess" i said and kept walking across the forest, with a pair of dogs behind me. The sun started to dissapear in the far horizon, making the cold, blueish snow that surrounded us turn into a shade of warm, creamy orange, making one of the most beautiful sunsets i had ever seen. Behind me, Llama made a hopeless effort to remain out of the cold, deep, virgin snow, while Jolt walked right behind my footprints laughing breathless and loudly. I looked up concerned and spotted the very first stars, big glittering spheres that seemed so tiny, but where so huge, and far. I stopped and looked arround, staring at every little detail arround. I was pleased as i spotted a small clearing nearby, bushes where all arround, they could serve us to stop the freezing, night winds. I looked at the puppies and smiled, "guys, its time to stop" i told them in a rather happy voice, both of them smiled joyfully and trotted torwards the clearing, smashing against the snow and being slowed down.

I started setting the camp, a small igloo shapped tent was situated on a little gap between two bushes. I then picked all my pokeballs, "go Flamie, Unicorn, espeon and umbreon" i comanded tossing the electronic spheres up. The balls oppened emitting a diferent glow for each pokemon, a darkish dull glow shapped umbreon, a silvery glow shapped the silvery cat, espeon, the reddish one shapped the great fire dragon, Flamie, and the bright, white one shapped the pure horse, Unicorn. The four creatures emmited their respective sounds as a grateful thank you for having them freed from their spherical cages. I looked at the fire creatures, "Flamie, Unicorn, melt the snow in the clearing" i comanded in a very dominant voice, the intimidated animals agreed and with two powerful flamthrowers, they transformed the frozen water into its liquit state. I then picked up some woods and lit a fire to keep warm. All the pokemon encircled the fire as i cooked a can of meat and a bit of rice to have something in my stomach. After a pleasant dinner, i moved torwards my tent, spreading my sac on the floor, and getting in. I shivered a few times until the cold sac was warmed with my own body heat, and quickly dozed off.

Outside, the pokemon moved into different corners to have some sleep, Flamie and Unicorn curled in a ball together, the dogs moved as close to each other as possible, in an effort to keep their body heat. A shiver ran down Llama's spine as the freezing night wing played with his soft cinnibar fur. He oppened his eyes blinking a few times, blowing cloud of vapor. Llama saw he was alone, none of the eons were nearby, Flamie and Unicorn slept peacefully, undisturbed. Llama stood up and gave a few faint steps before shivering one more time, trying to get rid of the lack of heat. He heard a few sounds and without hesitating he trotted torwards them, leaving the clearing and jumping through a bush. His thick tail tangeled with the naked branches, his fur and skin got shredded slightly with the sharpest ends. He finally made his way out and came to a wide clearing, it was being washed by a decreasing moon and snow covered it totally. Llama's eyes narrowed a bit to catch a glimpse of three figures trotting across the soft snow, the moon reflected on the snow sending a bright, blinding light across the field wich made it harder for him to identify the three misterious creatures. Just as one of the figures stopped and sent what seemed olike a wave of electric current from its body, emmiting a piercing "jooolt" sound across the silent valley, Llama knew who it was. He started trotting torwards his friend "Jolt, Jolt, Jolt" he called out in his sweet, childlish voice.

Jolt stopped and looked at the pup running gracefully torwards him, leaping to evade the deep snow. Espeon walked next to Jolt with a face full of disgust and disappointment"oh no, there comes the little pest, why do we need hima nyways? He is not even evolved" she said roughtly. Jolt snarled at her and she felt slightly intimidated, she moved a bit aside and tripped over a hidden stone, falling onto the cold, humid, freezing water and getting a cold, wet feeling across her side. Llama made his stop right in front of Jolt, landing with force and throwng bits of snow at the three eons, "hum, sorry" he apologized sweetly, Umbra and Jolt laughed, "its ok sweety, it was nothing" Umbra said smiling, "sure, whatever" espeon said turning her head aside quickly.

Llama sensed a feeling of refusal torwards him, he cowered a bit behind Jolt as he caugh the mean looking eyes that belonged to espeon. Jolt growled a bit at espeon, "give the kid a chance, willay? He has done nothing" Umbra yelled, espeon was quickly backed away, "true, you are meaner than an umbreon" Jolt snapped unconciously and quickly got an evil glance coming from Umbra. The dark dog walked with the magestuosity of a persian torwards the electric punk dog, "so, being an umbreon authomatically makes me evil, doesnt it?" she said proudly but sharply, Jolt cowered back, "no, wait sweetheart, im sorry, you are the kindest umbreon ever" he said shaking, "of course, the rest are even more evil" espeon mumbeled, Umbra turned torwards her and walked quickly "what did you just say?" she growled, Espeon lifted her head proudly and determined "i wont repeat it" she said. Umbra got ready to jump on her and shred her to pieces but Llama stood between them "hey guys chill, lets do something different for a change" he said softly, the two female eons calmed down a bit.

Jolt's black eyes gazed across the members of his animal group, he turned arround and stared at the silvery moon appearing from behind the white field. He looked back at the eons and smile, "why dont we race?" he proposed. All the pokemon smiled, except for espeon who kept her mad and jeallows stare, "sure, it will be fun" Llama said joyfully, "ha, i bet you that by the time i reach the top you will still be standing there" espeon said roughtly. Jolt growled and tackeled espeon, from the impact she rolled on her side and was covered with soft snow. She stuck her head out of the snow and shook it quickly to get rid of the frozen liquid, her blueish eyes stared at a pair of black, angry ones, she gulped as she saw the set of white, sharp fangs, being showed at her, "now, espeon, give the kid a chance or i will have to teach you a lesson" Jolt growled, espeon nodded shyly. As Jolt moved away, espeon made a small growl wich wasnt heard by the dogs.

With a happy smile, Jolt positioned himself in the starting line, the others followed him. Jolt moved his head and pectoral down a bit to push himself forward, Llama imitated his move. As soon as he gave the sing, a loud bark, the three evolved eons sprinted forward. Espeon passed the three of them easily as she made her way torwards the top, Umbra, Jolt and Llama ran together. The female dark pokemon made a move and ran next to her spiked haired couple, "Jolt, run front and pass her, or she will use advantage after" Umbra whispered in her characteristical, sweet voice. Without a word, Jolt nodded and made a sprint forward, going at his top speed, his paws barely touched the snow, the tips of his claws scratched the soft, surface of the snow. He quickly reached and passed espeon, who stopped and stared dumbfounded. Umbra ran faster as she saw espeon had stopped, and she quickly passed her too. Llama made a great effort to keep up with his specie, but his shorter legs with the addition of the snow, wich reached his chest, wouldnt let him speed up.

Jolt reached the top of the hill and spinned arround quickly, jumping several times i a happy way. Espeon looked behind and saw the small eevee about to reach her, she made a leap forward like a spring and rushed torwards the dark eon, "Umbra, hurry" Jolt called his loved one, Umbra looked behind and saw the psychic pokemon running quickly torwards her. Umbra used the most of herself and speeded torwards Jolt faster than ever. Espeon was next to her, she was quickly passing her, but Umbra used the last bits of energy remaining in her tired muscles and made a leap forward, amazingly passing espeon and reaching the top. Umbra collapsed exhausted right after setting foot on the top of the hill, espeon stopped breathing heavily and with her tounge sticking out. Llama made his way up a few minutes after the rest, he smiled and looked at the eons, "i did it" he said noticeably tired, Jolt smiled, "good race" he told the pup, knowing that he had tried and that was what counted. Espeon looked at the dog and snarled, "good race? Come on Jolt,are you blind? he totally sucked, i mean, why do we have to be with him anyways? Look at him, he is not one of us" espeon snapped, her words piercing Llama's heart like a shower of needles, "Espeon, shut up, are you going to give the kid a chance?" Jolt growled, espeon turned her face arround proudly. Llama's eyes watered, Umbra, pushed her body up and crawled next to Llama, giving him a hug, "its ok, you dont have to listen to her, we are your friends" Umbra said comforting. Llama pushed her away, "no, she is right, im not one of you, i would only make things worse" he shouted, and right after leaped down, torwards the forest. Jolt seeing this started to run after him.

Espeon's eyees started to glow a mistycal shade of blue, the jewel on her forehead started glowing, and a beam of colorful light shot out from the oval area, making its way torwards the yellow canine. Jolt was hit by the psybeam and lost his grip, he rolled downhill using his claws to hold onto the snow, failing the attemp. Umbra called out his name, and continuously looked at the female espeon next to her, "you..." she started, "ah, ah, you are not supposed to curse, although that wouldnt be rare being you an evil pokemon" espeon said with an evil laugh. Umbra's body covered with a dark aura, the aura concentrated in front of her and it shot a beam of dark light at the espeon, espeon yelped in pain and collapsed on the snow.

Meanwhile, Llama had made his way to the forest, he stopped next to a stone to rest, his tired muscles felt numb and his paws hurted. A small gust of wind blew making him shiver with painful, cold wind going through his fur, freezing his skin. He heard what seemed like a paw stepping on a dry twig, he pricked his ears up and listenend carefully, another step was heard, and this made him turn arroudn quickly, alarmed. Four thin, creamy legs stood in front of him, his eyes gazed up and he saw a creamy, fury chest, seven magnificent tails decorated the back of this animal, a thin mouth decorated with sharp, white fangs, a pair of red eyes and a big crest wich indicated this animal was a male. Llama moved back a bit and the fox growled deeply, he made a leap forward, extending his claws and opening his mouth, ready to pierce the soft flesh of the pup. Scared, the small eevee turned arround and started running, the ninetales bit the snow, and frustrated, he started running after Llama, almost floating over the snow, the soft tails made beautiful waving motions as they floated behind the speeding fox. Llama frustrated made an effort to run away by dogging his numerous attack and bites, but the fox was too smart and fast to be fooled easily by an inexperienced puppy.

They had reached a clearing in the forest, in here, Llama had the odds to loose, he saw a shadow over him and stopped, letting the ninetales leap over him. The fox slipped on a plate of ice and llama used this moment to leap over the creamy animal and started running again. He looked behind himself for a moment and saw the fox crawling out of the slippery plate, "yes, im way too far to be caught, this time i fooled you" he said to himself. Without noticing, he was getting close to a stone, yet he kept runnign without looking front, Llama tripped over the rock and fell down, the stone was rather flat, and had a small flame symbol carved on it. Llama ended with his nose on the ground, he shook his head in daze and looked up in time to see the four fangs ready to shred him into pieces, he yelled in fear. Before the fox's eyes, the eevee became a ball of glowing energy, he bounced back and yelped in pain, his eyes shattered close as the blinding light glew in the whole area, making it day again. Llama felt weird, he felt full of energy, his muscles stopped being numb, and his body feld stronger than ever, "am i dead already?" he asked himself as he felt a change going through his organism. His lungs developed a sac of fire in the middle, giving him the ability to burn, his fur grew shorter, except his chest and tail wich grew thicker.

The glow started to fade and revealed a thin, but musculous dog, a pair of reddish brown eyes looked curiously arround him, a crest of creamy fur decorated his forehead, it finished in a spiral. His chest was covered with thick, soft, creamy fur, his tail was covered with wild, creamy fur as well, his legs were long and thin. The fox stared stunned, he stood up not being intimidated by this evolved for of the eevee, he ran torwards the small dog and tried to bite. Llama made a leap up, jumping higher that he had ever jumped, he moved back a few steps but stopped staring at the fox. The male ninetalesstarted running torwards Llama, he instinctively oppened his mouth and shot a powerful tounge of fire through it, hitting the ninetales, and pushing him back. The fire fox rolled on his back and layed on the floor, he piereced Llama with his gaze and stood up, running at full speed torwards the dog, he hit Llama with his head and made him smash against a tree. Llama layed on the floor, too weak to move, the ninetales leapt forward to bite his throat. Llama closed his eyes in resignation, he got ready forwhatever was to come, a tear rolled down his cheeck, soaking his brown fur.

Before the ninetales could bite the life out of Llama, a white horse came out of the bushes, hitting the fox on the side and throwing him against a tree, the fox yelped. Llama oppened his eyes and the white horse gave him a smile, "Unicorn!" the fire dog snapped, Unicorn looked forwards ready to battle, the fox growled angrily.

I looked down trying to locate my pokemon, i noticed a different patch of white placed over the forest, a flame sparkled across the white patch, "there is Unicorn, she must have found them, Flamie land" i told my trustworthy dragon, Flamie made a loud roar and started to fly down, burning the leaves and trying to keep her wings extended safely. The fox started running torwards Unicorn, showing a set of white fangs, ready to pierce her delicate flesh. Not being intimidated, Unicorn stood still, waiting, her smile showed confidence, determination, this was her battle. The fox moved aside to jump on her back and easily tear the flesh from her neck, Unicorn wisely turned arround, kicking hard with her hind legs, finished in hooves, the pokemon flew across hitting a branch and breaking it. Unicorn moved torwards the fox, the animal growled and pushed his body up, his thin legs barely able to stand his body weight. Unicorn stood up on her hind legs, and then move down quickly, stomping with one of her hooves on the floor, creating a fissure that moved quickly torwards the fox. The fire fox was hit and damaged badly, but he will still try to stand up and fight.

The fox's eyes glowed with firery rage, his thing, elegant legs pushed his light body up, his seven fuzzy tails layed lazily on the ground. His white teeth where shown at the horse creature. Unicorn moved on step back, her head moved up and down slightly, her flaming mane danced with the light, making magical paterns on the shadows, some looking like animals, other looking like mystical creatures. The ninetales shot up and started running at top speed torwards the pure heavenly animal. The fox leapt up, his jaws open from side to side, his sharp fangs sparkled with the moonlight. Unicorn moved aside, balancing on his right legs, the fox fell on the grownd, leaned down a bit and then leapt up like a spring. He hit Unicorn with great force and strength. She lost balance and collapsed on the floor, being held by the fox and unable to move or attack. She was defenseless, the fox big her side, his fangs teared the soft flesh, red blood stained the beautiful coat of white fur.

Llama saw his friend in danger, his legs pulled his body up, he looked at the ninetales with rage. Like is an invisible judge had shot a gun, Llama started running torwards the ninetales, barking loudly, with rage. His legs impulsed him across the snow, his lips where curled up and his fangs where shown, bright and sharp. The sudden impact made the much bigger ninetales roll on the snow, his head poked out and he looked stunned at the angry flareon. Llama breathed with trouble, panting, his head down and his creamy fur straightened. Unicorn looked at the angry dog that had just saved her life, her sapphire eyes started watering, and a few shiny tears rolled down her cheecks, glittering like little diamonds.

Once again Llama started trotting torwards the animal, his tail danced with the night as he moved quickly torwards the scared fox. Llama leapt up and bit the fox's fury neck. The thick coat of creamy fur made it harder for Llama's sharp fangs to penetrate, the damage made was minor, but Llama held tightly. The fox whimpered and stood up, shaking his head and torso back and forth, trying to get rid of the little dog attached to his neck. Llama held as tight as he could, but eventually the gravity and centrifugal force were too much for him, he gave up and was fired. His agility was proved as he made a quick leap on the air and fell on his feet, using his claws to hold onto the terrain and stand on his four. His mouth oppened wide and his stomach combusted matter to charge one of his most powerful attacks. He shot his attack, moving his stomach, a great wave of fire shapped like a chinese letter with five arms flew torwards the ninetales. The fox whimpered loudly as he realized the ovious. The attack hit him, full force and sent him flying against a tree, the living being cracked in two by the fox. The little canine crawled out od the gap and collapsed on the floor, fainting straight away.

I touched arround my waist, and managed to grab an empty pokeball, i threw it torwards the fainted animal. The spherical ball glowed with the moon, and disappeared in the shades of the forest. It hit the fox and fell on the ground, splitting in half and creating a beam of reddish energy that converted the animal into its basic form, a bunch of molecules held tightly together, to be able to fit in the small spherical object. The round ball wiggled a bit, faintly, weakly, almost unotiecable, and it finally stopped, the red light shaped as a ring, that surrounded the small button, dimmed and eventually faded. Flamie landed, i jumped down and walked torwards the pokeball, i picked it up hesitantly, and took out my pokedex, using it to teleport the pokemon torwards prof. Trace's lab. Continuously i turned arround and looked at the two pokemon in front of me, i picked two pokeballs from my pokebelt and pointed at them, "good battle, you deserve a rest, return" i comanded as the two pokemon got sucked inside their traveling house.

I heard something trotting torwards us, afraid that it might be another ninetales, i moved torwads flamed, and we both hid on the shadows, trying to blend with the enviroment. Three small figures stopped by the shade of a tree, they looked similar but each had a difference in the shape of its ears, of fur. One of then had spiky fur, the other had round ears and tail, and a third one had cat-like ears and a tail split in two at the end of it. The spiky creature moved front, stepping on the clearing, where the light will able me to see it. It was a dog, its whole body covered with a yellowish fur, spiky, a collar of white fur covered his neck, i recognixed him instantly, and started running torwards him. My footsteps alarmed hima dn he turned arround, hesitating a bit a first, then as he realized who i was, he started running torwards me, "Jolt" i yelled as he leapt on me, both of us embraced in a warm hug. I looked at the other two figures and smiled, "Umbra, espeon, come here girls" i called them. Umbra trotted torwards me, barking happily, but espeon moved slowly, hesitantly, "come on" i called her again, getting the same movement. I looked at Jolt quizzically, "what happened?" i asked confused, Jolt gasped, "well, it all started with..." he started telling. I listened to every single detail as Jolt told it, giggling a bit at Umbra correcting him. I couldnt help but laught at some parts of the story wich got Jolt annoyed, but overall i got angry at espeon. I stood up and looked down at espeon, "that was very mean espeon, i will give you another chance, if you dont behave, you will go back to the lab, understood?" i said with a harsh, determine tone. Espeon looked up and nodded shyly, understandingly, i smiled, "well, the thing is that you are all fine, lets get going" i said softly, "return" i said returning all but Jolt into their pokeballs.

I gazed at the horizon, and blinked a few times covering my sensitive icy blue eyes with my arm. The morning sun was rising quickly, and the flaming, currently reddish orange sphere, lighted the cold valleys. I stood still for a while, letting my thoughts fly with the wind, staring at the path. I looked at Jolt, "lets go, its time we continue our journey" i told him, Jolt nodded and we paced slowly torwards the path, going though it, torwards the next city. The sun glittered on the frozen pebbles that marked the way torwards New City, guiding us through the deserted, endless, white valleys. Jolt trotted happily in front of me as the sun rose slowly on the horizon. As we started descending the vast extensions of artic tundra, the weather got warmer, and the frozen, slippery path became a much more gentle path of melting snow. A few trees stood shyly in front of us, almost hiding behind the hills as if they didnt want to be seen. It was nearly mid-day and my stomach emmited a roaring sound, like Flamie's thunderous roar but much fainter. I looked at the laughing dog next to me, whose stomach started to rumble as well, i couldnt contain my laughter and both of us joined into a laugh that echoed across the valley scaring a few birds away. I managed to stop laughing, and sat breathless on the floor, "well, puppy, i think we better make it to that forest and eat something" i said still giggling, and rubbing my tears, Jolt's black eyes stared right into my icy blue ones, as he made an effort to stop laughing, he smiled sweetly, "sure" he said as he leapt in a race. My heart beated faster than usual, and i could feel a wave of warmness rush through my chest. My stomach tickeled as if butterfrees flew arround it, trying to get free, and a trace of a blush was painted in my cheeks. I smiled softly as my mind raed wth thoughts and emotions, trying to figure out what was i feeling all of a sudden, and stood up, "hey Jolt, wait for me" i yelled starting a frenetic run after him.

It was nearly two o clock when we reached the small forest, wich turned out to be a huge mountain forest. The forest was calm and quiet, very humid, the trees were of a bright green, and there was mainly no snow except a few patches melting on the ground and trees. The grass that covered the surface was of an unique shade of green, and small drops of dew glittered with the sun beams that sneaked between the leaves from the proud trees. Smooth grey rocks, covered with liquens and moss, watched after this humongous king's roots. A stream of fresh, mountain water raced across the forest, cutting it in half, and the humongous tree's branches shaded the water, drawing patters on the running liquid. I decided to acomodate myself in a small area, where it was pleasantly warm, and the peaceful song of the stream gave the place a much more simile to my dream, making me feel the peace and quiet i felt, once again.

I used the rocks as tables and chairs, and gathered some wood to start a fire. I took out a can of beans and cooked it on the sparkling fire. Once the meal was finished, i let all my pokemon out, so they would have a chance to eat. Llama and Unicorn were in much better shape than a few hours ago, but still needed a little recovering. I ate pleasantly, feeling the warm food in my mouth and going down my throat, to finally reach my stomach, feeling the warm pleasure of a hot lunch in a cold day.

Right after lunch, i felt my eyelashes go down and my mouth oppening in a deep, sleepy yawn. This hours of sleep i had missed were starting to affect me, specially after a hot meal, so without thinking twice i decided to take a nap and recover energies to continue our long journey. It looks like we all had the same idea as we started to find places where we would be comfortable. I layed on my sleeping sac, feeling the softness of the feathers that filled it, massaging my back. Flamie went in a far corner, laying between two rocks, using the smaller one as a pillow. Unicorn layed down on a bed of soft, moist grass, and Llama layed next to her. Jolt layed at the top of a greyish, smooth rock that was right next to me, and the psychic and dark eons took places where they wouldnt see each other.

The only sound hear all across the forest was the chirping of the different species of birds, wich seemed to chant in a chorus, singing every note in a perfect tone and moment. Llama blinked a few times, adjusting the light to his enlarged pupils. His tounge and thoat felt dry, and rought. He stood up on his numb members, that felt itchy and weak from sleep, and after being able to balance on them, he trotted softly torwards the fresh stream. His head bend down, until he could see his blurred reflection on the surface of the water, his tounge sticked out and started moving quickly but rythmically, in and out of his mouth, feeling the coldness of the running water, and drinking gulps of the liquid of life.

Under the christaline surface of the water, a pair of dark blue eyes observed the young fire pokemon. The glowing beams from the sun shapped the outline of a fin. Llama was unaware of the danger he was running, and he kept drinking peacefully. His eyes looked forward, and he lifted his head from the stream. His head tilted in conusion as he tried to recognice the something that he had seen moving behind a bush. All of a sudden, the leaves oppened and flew ripped from their twig and branch, as a creature leapt out of it. It was a greenish animal, with a slightly long neck, a green leaf that stuck out of his round head. A collar of rolled up leaves decorated the beggining of his neck, his body, slightly curved, was sostained by four strong legs ended in hoof shapped claws, and his body ended up in a reptile like tail, not too long and slightly thick. This creature looked more like a prehistoric miniature sauropod than a small grass pokemon. Llama was startled by the little creature and he jumped back, he stared at the animal carefully as it approached the river and started drinking, "hey, its a bayleef" Llama exclaimed. The underwater creature swam deeper quickly, as it noticed the bayleef. The animal stared at Llama again, and its strong, siren like fin started moving quickly, impulsing its body up as fast as it could go. With a big splash, wich wetted the bayleef, the underwater creature jumped out, clawsna and fangs ready to pierce. It was a dog like animal, its whole body covered with very soft, blueish fur, a fin ran fron te top of its head, over its back, till it reached its tail. Four long, thin legs, ended in claws and a thin membrane between each finger, gave away this animal was propably speedy in both, land and water. A pair of dark blue eyes decorated the front of its doggy face, and a little black nose was placed gracefully over its fangs.

Llama was startled at first and he yelled in surprise and fright, a yell that traveled across the humid forest and reached Jolt's ears. The electric dog lifted his head thoughtfully, he whimpered a bit in frustration, wich continued in a graceful leap off the stone where he was laying, and a run torwards the place where the yell came from. The water dog was about to fall on Llama, bitting him strongly on his neck, producing a deadly wound, when an electric current came out of nowhere, hitting the weaker creature and making it literally stop in mid air and collapse on the soft grass. Llama looked behind himself and saw a proud yellow thunder dog standing here, he smiled recognicing his friend.

The bayleef at the other side of the stream was mad at the water creature for wetting him, the leaf on top of its head started twisting like a helicopter's asps. The water creature blinked painfully a few times, she noticed the grass creature moving its leaf and gasped in knowledge of its attack. The grass creature fired two razor edged leaves fron under his leaf, the two leaves were headed torwards the water animal, who stared frightened. Llama spotted the leaves from the corner of his eyes, he faced them, staring fiercefully, and oppened his mouth shooting a tounge of flame that melted the leaves, wich fell desintegratted in charcoal. The water creature looked behing itself and saw a fierce looking creamy dog, Llama blinked an eye at it and leapt over, facing the bayleef. The green animal shrieked in frustration as it's neck leaves oppened and started glowing a bright white yellowish colour, absorving the energy that the sun created. Llama knew this attack, and he knew how to block it, another tounge of fire spiraled torwards the bayleef, wich's leaves had finished charging. The bayleef was ready to fire when he saw himself surrounded by a colum of fire. The colum of fire got closer and ended up burning the small grass creature. The bayleef stood up and the glow that was on his leaves expanded through its whole body as he started to grow bigger. Llama closed his eyes, and he backed a bit, almost tripping over the water animal. Jolt turned arround and started trotting torwards the camp.

The glow faded revealing a much bigger green creature, the small green leaves that once decorated his neck turned in a colorful collection of red and white petals, two long, thin antlers came out of his head, the body remained the same but the legs were much stronger, and the back was much more curved. Llama gasped frightened, "oh no, its a meganium" he said. He knew that he had typed advantage but he also knew that he had an experience of several hours as a fire pokemon. The grass pokemon moved back a few steps, and then his short but strong legs started moving in a trotting mode, leaving huge, flat footprints on the mud. His strong back legs pushed the rest of his weight forward, and the enormous animal fell on the water, lifting a wave that splashed the small fire dog, weakenning him. Llama whimpered as he shook his head and fur, trying to get rid of the liquid that slowly drained his life. The blue water pokemon stared at every move and moment in this whole situation . the meganium went on his hind legs, and then dropped his body down, splashing Llama. The weakenned fire dog collapsed, exhausted and weak from the water that was being splashed on him. The water dog stood up and jumped forward, reciving a shower of water. It didnt move, it just stared at the grass pokemon as he kept trying to splash it, and weaken it like he had done with Llama. The water dog oppened its mouth wide, a small blueish glow came from inside, the glow kept growing and it finally fire a zigzagging beam of blueish energy. The attack hit the meganium who yelled in pain, he stepped back and returned to the shore.

As if he was aware of the situation, two thing, long vines came out of the pokemon's neck, rushing torwards the water dog. The two, thick ends hit the small, defenseless dog, sending a wave of pain though her body. The animal whimpered with a soft voice, and continuosly collapsed. The grass saurio stared at the two fallen dogs, he saw this battle was won, and got ready for a final attack. The petals on his neck absorved the bright, energetic sun beams, glowing with its light. He lowered his head ready to fire, when a tounge of fire hit him. He collapsed in the moment he fired, sending a solar beam lost through the sky. His reddish cherry eyes openned, and he gasped in terror at the vision that first came to his brain. On the other side of the shore stood an enormous reddish dragon, standing on two strong legs, finished in claws. Two thinner arms stuck out from her shoulder, finished in a set of white, powerful claws. The long neck was finished in a sharp head, decorated with two horns, a powerful jaw and a collection of sharp teeth and fangs. A pair of dragon wings adorned the back of the animal, and from the side, he noticed a long, strong tail finished in a sparkling flame. The dragon's violet eyes stared right at the animal, sending shrills through his backbone.

The meganium made an effort to stand up, his strong colum legs pushed his weight up, his head was down, but he stared at the dangerous creature. The two vine whips started to rush torwards the dragon, but Flamie flapped her powerful wings and lifted her body on the air. A chinese letter shapped flame was fired torwards the meganium, the creature was lifted off his feet as he got hit by the attack. A yell came out of his mouth echoing in the deepness of the forest. The meganium stared at the creature that flew quickly torwards him, he was too weak to stand up and fight. The meganium gave up totally, and Flamie held him tightly. His wings flapped as she tried to lift the heavy animal, once she was hight enough, the fire dragon circled several times and then started flying down as fast as she could. She gave an exhibition of her perfect flight control as she dropped the creature on the ground and flew several inchess off the wet stream. She landed on the other side of the stream and stared. The cloud of dust disappeared slowly, fading as the small particles dispersed and blended with the environment. The grass pokemon layed motionless in a hole on the ground, the gentle breeze played with the strong petals around his neck, but the animal didnt move.

A pokeball came out of nowhere and hit the creature, the metallic object oppened and absorved the grass creature, turning the matter into the smallest units, the atoms. The animals stared back and saw me, i smiled sheeply, "well, i wasnt going to loose the chance of capturing a fully evolved meganium, now was i?" i said scratching the back of my head. The four animals laughed, "now, Jolt, can you go get it?" i asked the yellows thunder dog. The animal nodded and leapt gracefully on the stones until he reached the other shore, he took the motionless spherical object in his mouth and leapt back torwards us. He stood on his hind legs, her forepaws pressed against my leg so he could keep balance. I took the pokeball from him and scratched his head softly, "good boy" i said as i took out my pokedex and teleported the pokeball, making it turn into waves to be turned into particles and matter once in prof's lab. I turned torwards Flamie, "good job, girl" i said as i touched her shoulder softly, Flamie growled softly and smiled proud.

I walked torwards the two dogs and kneeled besides them, "you need a rest, do you think you will be bale to walk torwards the camp?" i asked nicely, the two animals stared at me and then made an effort to stand up. They eventually managed, and both looked at me like trying to tell me they were able to, i smiled, "ok, come on guys, oh...little one, you better stay with us and take a rest" i said softly, the little water dog smiled and nodded with a bark. I started walking torwards the camp, the fire dragon walked behind me, and Jolt trotted front, turning happily a few times and wagging his tail.

Llama turned arround and stared at the water dog, whose wet fur was glowing with the sun, "hum, thank you for saving me before" he said sweetly. The water dog giggeled, "no problem, you did the same before" the animal answered with a small, soft voice. Llama was stunned, "hey, wait a minute, you are a girl?" he said amazed, the little dog laughed, "of course, and im a vaporeon" she said laughing softly, "um, well, ok vaporeon, lets go to the camp" Llama said lost for words, "my name is Bluemist" the vaporeon answered. Both creatures started walking torwards the camp, where a fire and a stick roasting some meat, waited for them. Bluemist scented the air, the soft scent of barbecued meat reached her nostrils. She started jumping arround Llama happily, "hey, is that meat for us?" she said nervously, Llama just stared at er hopping arround like a rabbit, "you are a little hyper, arent you?" the fire dog said stunned, Bluemist felt embarrased and stopped, whispering a low sorry. Llama smiled at her, "hey, dont worry, its ok, i dont mind" he said in his teenage voice, the vaporeon looked at him, and smiled. Their gazes locked, both were lost into each other's eyes, magic floated arround them, and a misterious force pulled them closer to each other. Llama hopelessly tried to understand what he was doing, but his thoughts raced, making him unable to think. Their lips were about to touch, to lock in a magical first kiss, when a voice called them, "Llama, vaporeon, dinner is ready" Jag yelled. Both animals snapped from their trance and looked away quickly, "erm, i believe we must get going" Llama said embarrased and blushing, "you are right" Bluemist answered blushing red. The two animal started trotting back to the camp, where a warm, tasty dinner awaited.

I saw the two creatures appear from behind the bushes, both of them were blushing, they looked sweet. I was going to tease them much through dinner, "woah guys, what happened to you? Did you fall face first on a magmar?" i asked teasing. Two murderous gazes were thrown at me, stating without words that i could die if i asked too many questions in that ironic tone. Unfortunately for them, i had just fired a neutron, and the fission was about to come. Flamie was the first to start the chain effect, "i knew my fire was strong, but i never thought THAT strong" she said laughing, "you two look cute together, but dont you know water and fire DONT mix?" espeon snapped. Umbra didnt like that sentence, she was about to jump over the psychic pokemon but Jolt's gaze stopped her. The two teenagers looked at each other blushing more red by the minute. I was about to stop this situation, because comments were getting out of hand and the explossion seemed inminent, but Jolt read my mind. He stood up on a stone, in a dominant way, "ok, enough, lets have a peaceful lunch" he said in a loud, serious male voice. I stared at him and smiled, Jolt stared down at me and winked knowingly, smiling sweetly.

After that small event, we ate our ration of meat and got ready to sleep, darkness had already ruled over the skies, and the bright stars glittered, in a silent speech. The night was calm and peaceful, the crickets sang their mating melody in the darkness of the forest. The fireflies and their source of light, flew in swarms across the forest, like tiny shooting stars. I stared arround, everyone was asleep, Flamie, Unicorn, Llama, the vaporeon, Umbra, espeon...even Jolt, but i couldnt, my mind was racing with thoughts. I stood up and sneaked silently torwards the stream, trying not to wake up any of my pokemon. I sat down on the moist grass, staring at the delicate reflection of a half moon floating on the surface of the water. I sighted, splashing on the cold liquid. A creature walked torwards me and sat down, i looked at it, it was the blue water dog. She stared at me and smiled, "what is wrong trainer?" she asked softly, "i...nothing" i answered doubtfully, "dont say nothing, something is wrong, you wouldnt be like that if it werent" she answered wisely, "well...ok, something is wrong, but i cant say it vaporeon" i answered hoping she would get the message and leave. The creature smiled, "call me Bluemist, and you can tell me, i might help" Bluemist said, i smiled, she was right, maybe she could help, but how? I worked up my courage, "well, i feel sort of lonely" i said doubtfully, Bluemist smiled, "i have felt that way too, and i will feel that way again" she said with a sight. I stared at the water pokemon, "you have? But, its not really that, i am surrounded by pokemon, they are more than that, they are my friends, i dont have..." i started, "...someone you love and can love you back, someone you can trust, and that will understand" Bluemist finished looking at the moon that swam on the stream. I looked at her lifting an eyebrow, "how do you know?" i asked, the water pokemon looked at me, "sometimes, you dont need to be a psychic pokemon to understand another soul" she answered. She was right, "but, you might have more chances, after all, you are a wild pokemon, it cant be too hard to find another wild pokemon like you" i explained, Bluemist sighted and shook her head, "its hopeless" she started, "its like, my heart was blind, like it chose the wrong way, its not like i imagined when i was little, when..." Bluemist continued explaining, in a somewhat annoyed tone. I sighted, "...you thought your life would be perfect, you would find prince charming and it would be like in fairy tales, under those romantic circumnstances, but once you grow up, this world of magic disappears, as you meet your couple in the weirdest circumnstances, and he doesnt even notice you exist, not like you have any chance because you both are..." i kept saying, spaced, "...different..." we both said at the same time. After that word, we looked at each other, "different?" Bluemist asked, i didnt answer, i felt a little trace of a blush touching my cheeks, "erm...wait a minute, water and fire, you like Llama, dont you?" i said trying to change the subject. Bluemist leapt on me, "ahah, im not telling you,unless you tell me first" she said wisely. I pushed her off me, "aww, come on, lets go back to the camp, its almost dawn" i said standing up and pacing slowly torwards the camp.

The fire of life rose on the horizon, telling the animals from all arround the world that it was dawn already, time to either go to sleep or start working. Llama's reddish brown eyes flickered open, he blinked a bit adjusting his pupils to the bright morning sun. He stretched his bones and muscles, getting them ready for the day to come, wich would be doubtlessly another tought day of traveling across forest and mountains. He walked normaly torwards the stream, having an ocassional trot, as he adjusted his legs to motion again. Llama reached the fresh stream, a yawn escaped his mouth as he stared at the cold water run quickly in front of his eyes. He lowered his head and licked the cold liquid, calming his thirst. His eyes noticed something higher up the stream, another cleature had woken up and was drinking from that same stream. Llama looked up and stared at the animal, recognicing it, it was espeon. Her silky, silvery fur glew with the morning sun, making it look like dolphin skin. Her feline ears were pulled back, letting Llama see her aqua blue eyes, wich were focused in the water. The double end feline tail made the shape on an U. A little, pink tounge took zips of water, "whoa! I never though she could be THAT pretty" Llama said to himself from his corner. He worked up the courage and walked torwards her, walking securely and fast, however, as he aproached the feline dog, his pace slowered. He finally reached her, espeon noticed him and looked up, some drops of water driped from her wet lips. Llama opened his mouth, but nothing came out, "oh, will you get on with it? Im in a little hurry" espeon said with a sight, "erm...ok, i...i think you look amazing, and, i was wondering...would you...li...like to go out with me?" Llama shuttered. Espeon was annoyed, he didnt like the kid in any possible way, and now he was asking her out, "didnt he get the message? Well, lets see if he gets this" espeon thought to herself. The jewel from her forehead started glowing a bright, icy blue. Llama walked a step back, and a blast of psychic power sent him flying.

Down the stream, Jolt and Umbra were drinking their matinal water, when something came flying past them. Jolt lifted his head, "hey wasnt that...?" he said doubtfully, "...Llama" Umbra nodded. Both creatures looked at each other confused, "uh, oh" both said in unision. The two animals trotted in the direction where the "flying" fire dog had gone, Bluemist's head poked out of the water, "Llama?" she whispered. She swam torwards the shore and jumped up, trotting after the other two dogs as fast as her paws could carry her.

The fire dog slammed against a tree, he yelped in pain and collapsed on the floor, "geez, this is just not my day" he moaned unpleased. The three eons reached the spot where the fire creature had landed, "what happened?" Jolt demanded authoritaly. Llama looked at him scared, "shhh, leave it to me Jolt, you are scaring the kid" Umbra said sweetly, she smiled at Llama. That made Llama feel better, he smiled, "well, i told espeon she was pretty and all, and she psybeamed me" Llama said feeling worthless. Umbra knew that feeling, she smiled softly "there, what you have to do is be as far as possible from espeon, she doesnt like you much" Umbra said. Throughout this whole conversation, Bluemist had been feeling horrible, she liked Llama much, and seeing him being rejected that way angered her, specially after the way he behaved with her, and after he saved her life. Bluemist ran torwards the camp to look for the silver dog, without even warning where she was going. The other three looked at her go, "whats wrong with her?" Llama asked, "i dont know" Umbra said forcing not to smile, she knew well where the water dog was going and why.

Bluemist reached the camp, only the trainer, Jag, was there, packing everything. The young woman noticed the dog, "oh hi Bluemist, need something?" Jag asked. Bluemist shook her head, "im looking for espeon" Bluemist said, Jag looked at the water dog quizzically, "trust me, you dont want to meet that dog" Jag said, Bluemist nodded, "i know, well, cya" the blue dog said as she trotted torwards the stream. All her senses were alert as the wild creature tried to locate the overprideful, mean, respectless creature. Bluemist found her resting on a stone, in a clearing of the forest where a few sun beams made their way through the leaves, to finally land in a rug of bright grass. The silvery dog licked her fur clean patiently, being careful to lick every single hair in her body. Bluemist trotted torwards her with etermination, espeon intercepted her and stood up. The water dog stopped right in front of the proud creature, "what do you want?" espeon said roughtly, "i...you...what you have done to...Llama is disgraceful...he was just being nice" Bluemist said breathing heavily. Espeon laughed, "so, you come here protecting your little boyfriend, hu? How brave" espeon said ironicly. Bluemist felt a blush crawling up her cheeks, she looked away embarrased, "he is not my boyfriend" she mumbled, espeon looked down at her, leaning a bit, "yet, listen pup, if you know whats good for you and him, better leave me alone" espeon said jumping down the stone and walking away pridefully.

Bluemist thought about it on her way back, her mind raced with thoughts. The posibility of her being in love with Llama had already sank in, she was sure she liked him, but Llama was just a teenager, he had no idea about love, how would he chose her? A few shadows passed over her startling her, she looked up and saw a group of birds with brown wings and creamy white bellies. The pidgeots didnt bother in looking at the small dog below them. Bluemist found Llama licking a wonded leg, next to a small berry bush. Bluemist walked torwards him slowly, "hum...hello, Llama" she said softly, her voice trembled. Llama was startled and turned arround quickly, hurting his wonded leg and gasping in pain, "oh...hi, Bluemist" Llama said smiling, "i...i wanted to tell you...well, thank you for saving me that day, and i think, i know...i" Bluemist said, feeling her tounge messing her words. Llama tilted his head confused, trying to understand what Bluemist was telling him. The water dog looked at him in the eyes, she was blushing and her blueish fur didnt cover it, she decided actions would be easier than words, so without a warning she leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on his lips. Bluemist then started running. Llama felt a blush, his heart was beating fast, he looked torwads Bluemist who kept running, and instanctly leapt on a jog torwards her. He couldnt run fast with a wonded leg but was quickly catching up, "Bluemist wait" he called, the water dog ignored him, "Bluemist, i love you" he yelled unconciously. Bluemist stopped dry, she turned arround after a few seconds, her dark blue eyes stared right into Llama's ones. Slowly she paced torwards him, Llama gulped and walked one step back, and waited until Bluemist was right in front of him.

They looked at each other, "did you mean it?" Bluemist asked seriously but hopeful, Llama didnt answer, he felt intimidated, and nodded slowly. Bluemist smiled, and before they knew, they were embraced in a loving kiss. Espeon was looking at them, observing every single moment, every single move and reaction, feeling jeallows at the couple. Without being able to control her fury, she started running torwards the couple, hitting the blue dog hard on her side, wich sent her flying through the air. Bluemist rolled and stood up quickly, staring at the other female with rage. Llama just walked back, feeling a battle about to start.

And he was right, soon enough a current of bubbles flew past, wich were easily dogged by the silver dog. Espeon landed on her four feet and her eyes started glowing a dark blue, she was covered with a bright blueish aura, that same aura suddenly covered Bluemist, she was lifted on the air and thrown down. Bluemist moaned in pain and stood up, feeling hurt, her eyes were bright with anger. She used a last resort, a quick attack, running as fast as her thin, palmed paws could carry her, Bluemist started running arround espeon. The other female felt dizzy with the twister running arround her, Bluemist stopped, and fired a colum of powerful water at the psychic eon. The silvery creature smashed against a stone hard, breaking several ribs and being left in pain, she yelped, as her enemy attacked mercyless. Bluemist fire another hydropump, hurting the psychic pokemon once again. Espeon could barely stand up, her broken ribs hurted much, but she knew she wouldnt be defeated that easily, much less by a teenager wild vaporeon- she stood up, and the jeweld on her forehead started glowing, she fired a psybeam at the younger femaled, who yelped in pain and collapsed on the floor. Bluemist oppened her eyes weakly and saw her enemy standing over her. Espeon held her tightly against the floor with her clawed paws, a set of scary looking sharp fangs where shown at her, and oviously ready to bite her throat, and finish the work. Bluemist closed her eyes and cried silently, making a mental image of her very first kiss, and her last.

Espeon lowered her head quickly, aiming at the throat, ready to make a deadly wound wich would make Bluemist bleed to death. Bluemist was wild and knew the laws of survival, she knew what would happen next and waited. But it never came, instead a gust of wind passed her. She oppened an eye slowly, curious about what would have hapened. She saw espeon laying on the grass, moving faintly, she seemed too hurt. Forgeting all the laws of wilderness, she stood up and ran torwards the hurt creature, she leaned over her. Espeon looked at her and snarled, "no, no, i dont want to hurt you" Bluemist said softly, espeon looked at her confused, "why? I almost killed you" she said much more calm, "but you need help" Bluemist said. Espeon's eyes wattered, people had never treated her that nicely, with Bluemist's help, she stood up, and stared at the creature that just attacked her. It was Flamie, the charizard, who stood chalenging in front of the other two. Bluemist looked at espeon, the silver dog started glowing a white sunny shade, and she was instantly healed, "morning sun" espeon said pridefully, showing her true, healthy voice. Bluemist smiled, she was pleased that espeon finally understood, she looked forward and started running, "team work" she yelled. Espeon started running torwards the flaming dragon as well, "team work" she repeated loudly. Both creatures stopped at once, like if an invisible person had told them to, espeon started glowing again, this time she was developing her psychic attack. Flamie was lifted on the air without flapping her wings, she roared helplessly, espeon stopped the attack and Flamie started falling. Right in that moment, before Flamie could recover herself, Bluemist fired a hydropump at the red, flaming dragon. Flamie roared in pain and collapsed on the floor. Then both animals attacked her at once, espeon's psybeam hit and stopped Flamie from attacking, and Bluemist's bubble beam terminated the prideful dragon as she fainted.

Espeon and Bluemist highfived each other and laughed happily, "oh great, we did it" Bluemist said, "yes" espeon said a bit unconfortable, "whats wrong?" Bluemist asked noticing her tone. Espeon looked away, "nobody has ever been nice to me, and now you treat me so well, when i almost killed you, thank you Bluemist" espeon said, Bluemist hugged her, "just try to be nice to Llama, he never meant to hurt you in any way" Bluemist said, espeon nodded and smiled. Llama trotted torwards Bluemist, but he stopped when he saw espeon, espeon noticed and looked at Bluemist, "go talk to him" Bluemist said and moved back a bit. Espeon walked slowl torwards the fire dog, trustlessly, Llama steped back, "no, wait, i wanted to say...im sorry for having behaved like that" she said nervously but ashamed, Llama looked at her, he focused on Bluemist who nodded like a spirit. Llama smiled, "its ok, has been forgotten" he said in a teenage friendly voice, both of them hugged and smiled "friends?" asked espeon, "friends" answered Llama.

I looked for my creatures all arround, "guys, where are you?" i called them, staring in every direction, but all i could see where a few sadnshrew running across, and one ekans drinking the morning dew that rested on the leaves. Jumping gracefully over a rock appeared Jolt, wagging his tail, "hey Jolt, where are the others?" i asked, Jolt looked at the stone, "there" he said pointing at the greyish, inhert object. Umbra came next, and finally Llama, espeon and Bluemist. I looked arround confused, "guys, where is Flamie?" i asked, Llama pointed behind the stone, "she is coming" he said softly. Flamie came, breaking a tree, burning the greenish leaves into drak charcoal, and roaring angered, "whats wrong?" i asked nicely, "nothing" Flamie screamed, i backed away a bit, Flamie surely was angry, "oh well, return guys" i said returning all. Bluemist looked at me, "whats wrong? You live here, dont you?" i asked her, Bluemist nodded, "but i got together with Llama, wouldnt want to break that now" she said almost crying, with a whimpering voice, i sighted, "well, come with me, if you wish" i told her. Bluemist's smile grew bright and pure, she looked like a suicune as the sun washed her soft fur, i searched in my pocket and recognice thse roundness and hardness of the metalic pokeball, i held it in my hand and Bluemist jumped in. Afterwards, me and Jolt kept walking through the forest.

Our eyes blinked painfully as the afternoon sun touched them, we had reached the end of the forest and a steep slope extended in front of us. The slope finished in a huge city, the buildings where enormous and they looked like boxes in a supermarket. Between them you could see small things flying, "maybe people training their pokemon, or the traffic helicopter" i thought, Jolt smiled. I took a pokeball from my pokebelt, "wanna rush this a bit" i asked Jolt, he nodded grinning evily, "go Unicorn" i comanded, the pure white horse appeared in front of us. I went on her back and Jolt jumped on, holding against my waste, "lets go" i comanded, kicking her sides. Unicorn stood up on her hind legs and started trotting downhill, leading us torwards our next adventure.
