2. The Summoner's Stone (1st part)

The little girl walked torwards a small village house. She was no older than ten or eleven, her hair was neatly curled and of a shiny, bright blond colour, meticulously clean. Her face was slightly oval, but mostly spherical, and piercing through the path were two large blue eyes. The eyes were large and deep blue, like two aquamarines. Her nose was small and piggy like, wich gave her an inocent, childlish appereance. The mouth was small but her lips were fleshy and pretty, they glittered a pinkish colour, due to a lipgloss placed on them. She was normally shapped, not too thin, not too fat, and over her was a short, summer dress, also blue wich contrasted with her eyes. The dress reached only to her knees and was sleveless, it was made out of flexible cotton wich made it more sport like. She walked over a pair of blue sport shoes that fit with her whole self.

Her tiny lips curled into a joyful smile as she walked nearly running torwards her house. On her arms a very confused animal looked in every directions. It looked like a small dog pup, its caramel eyes stared in every directions. The pointed ears were pricked back in a manifestation of fear and surprise. Her muzzle was sharp as well, and hid a set of tiny, sharp canines and fangs. Her whole body was covered with a reddish brown fur, thick and silky that mantained her body heat. Her legs, tails and a little curly crest over her head were of a darker, flaming red. She had five neatly curled tails that swinged back and forth as the girl walked, tiny reddish hairs fell down, glittering in the sun. The vulpix sniffed the air and stared into the girls blue eyes, her claws trying to grap the girls skin in case she would fall.

The little girl stopped in front of a small house, instead of bricks it was built out of large, square stones. The rocks were polished due to the action of the wind, rain and snow, and small tunnels had been built in the areas were the stone was softer, as water poured down from the roof. Some of the rocks had large, deep cracks in them since water froze to ice, increasing its volume, and one could say that this cottage was about to fall appart. the windows and door were darkenned due to age, they had lost the shine in them, and looked rotten and eaten down, with long cracks going across them. An oxidated doorknob was place in one side of the door, and you couldnt stop to wonder if there was any human strenght that could open this door. The little girl sighed, "we are here Seifer, lets go" she told the frightened vulpix who trembled uncontrolably.

She walked inside, pushing the door open, the wooden object cracked soundly as the girl oppened it, placing the vulpix down. She looked at the house, it was very quiet and peaceful, the stones were in much better condition, carefully polished and shinny like mirrors. The furniture was new, most of it was barroc style except a table in the living room that was buil out of black and white marble and the electric machinery in the kitchen and living room. Pictures with delicately decorated and carved frames were place on the walls giving the whole house a touch of elegancy and good taste.

The little girl stood on tip toes and placed both of her tiny, childish hands arround her delicate lips, "Selphie, oh Seeeeelphiiiieeeee, im hooooome" she yelled happily and sweetly at the same time. The sound of trotting hooves echoed in the whole house, the wooden floor, also shinny and cared for, cracked and tremble under the girl's and fox's feet. All of a sudden a creatture appeared trotting through the corridor in front of them. It was like a cross between a stantler and a tauros, she had a long neck that stretched over her shoulders, on  top of that neck was a head the shape of a stantler's, a bit melon like, two large blue eyes stared into the girl's. It had a pair of horns finished in a thicker, round area, standing over her forehead. The legs were thick and prepared for running like a tauros', unlike stantler's who were prepared to jump, however, the strong tendons could support her whole weight if she leapt. Instead of a tail she had another head, this one was black and round with razor, shark like teeth and two large black eyes. This second head was sostained over a small stick like set of bones. Half of her body was covered in a yellowish fur with creamy orange patches and the second half was covered with a dark brown, nearly black, soft, silky fur.

Selphie ran torwards the girl, her head shaking up and down as she trotted, but something caught her eye that made her stop dry in front of the little girl. She backed away one step, the wooden floor cracked slightly, and she nieghed with a profound worry in her voice. Between her and her trainer was a small fox, a vulpix, her reddish confused eyes stared into the creature's ones. Selphie's mind overloaded with thoughts, thoughts and memories from a past not so far away.

-I walked with my family across the fores, my family was not a large herd, it was just me, my mom and dad. Both of them were taller than me, i could say nearly a head but you wouldnt understand. Our pacing went well and peacefull, the pastures were fresh and soft since it had rained the previous day, and the exquisite flowers had bloomed intensifying the freshness and pleasure a lot. The sun sneaked through the small gaps left accidentally by the leaves and showered our beautiful, sliky coat of fur. Drops of water would fall down on my back from time to time, sending chills up my spine. My mom and i munched on the delicious lunch that mother Nature had placed for us, while my dad stood as tall as he was staring in every direction to protect us from any danger. His ears flapped back and forth ocassionally as he tried to detect any strange sound or the misterious rustling of leaves out of place. It looked like he had heard something because he paced arround us, worry written on his features. My mom looked up and stared at my dad, "is there anything wrong?" she asked, my father seemed to ignore her for a moment then the sound of someone stepping on a broken branch alerted me and made my father spread his legs a bit in a attmept to stand up to batle if necesary. He then turned arround and leapt forth, "run" he screamed as her lead the march. My mom and it turned arround as well and started running as fast as our hooved legs could carry us, the patches of sun blinded me as they came and went like street lights when you go in a car. I heard the sound of pads trotting behind me but i knew i couldnt loose focus os my path or i could trip and fall.

Something leapt over me in the direction of the pads, the shadow allowed me to see a large root that stuck out of the ground considerably, and i would have never been able to avoid it under the sun/shadow circumnstances. I leapt over the root and stopped splashing water and nearly slipping on a bed of fresh moss, i turned arround and saw my dad shooting several beams of colourful, shinny light through his horns. Three large dogs were attacking him, they were almost as big as him and twice as thick, they were covered in a thick coat of flaming red fur decorated with black stripes that looked like drawn with a large paintbrush. Their large muzzles were white like the stomach, and a crest of whote fur decorated their heads. Their lips were curled and a set of dangerous fangs and teeth glittered with the sun rays as they moved. Their paws were thick like colums and covered with fur, and four canine, black claws peeked lazily through the thick coat of flaming fur.

One of the creatures hit my dad on the side throwing him against a tree. He yelped and several leaves floated down. His knees bent and his whole weight made him collapse. He shot another enraged psybeam at the attacking dog hitting him full and throwing him against a stone. The canine's head smashed against the hard surface of the stone causing the fainting of the creature. I felt so useless as i saw my dad being mercilessly attacked by the remaining dogs. My mom trotted next to me and stood in front of me blocking my view, "arcanines, lets go" she comanded breathlessly and forced me to trot in front of her. We trotted quickly, my legs had started to get weak and heavy as my muscles tensed with the ammount of work placed on them. I dont know for how long we were trotting but i do remember hearing a yelp behind me, a yelp i recognized as my mom's, "good bye, mom" i whispered letting the words fly with the wind. I unconciously closed my eyes and let a few tears roll quickly down my cheek and fly away. When i oppened them again i saw a large shadow about to fall on me, i looked up and saw one of the arcanines literally flying over me and ready to breack my neck with a swift bite. I was lucky because i felt my left front leg hit another branch, and continuosly i rolled down a hill through a tunnel. The tunnel's walls were rose bushes with sharp thorns that cut through my delicate calf flesh on my fall. The arcanine had literally smashed against the bushes and the thorns had pierced a painful torture on it.

I rolled down and landed on a large valley, my whole body was torn and bleeding, and all the bones that formed my skeleton ached. I layed down giving up, in one day i had lost my mom and dad, i had gotten lost and ended up with numerous cuts through my body. Unable to keep up for longer i had decided to give up, not like i had a choice because i could barly move, much less stand up of my tired and aching legs. I felt a tear roll down my face and glitter beautifully under the light of the flaming sphere. I believe i fell asleep after that because when i oppened my eyes again the moon was staring down at me. I raised my head and stared at the vast extention of valley that extended in front of me to infinity. The grass had become a glittering shade of silvery in front of me, and it extended like an ocean of frozen waves.

I managed to stand up on painful, shaky legs, and taking feeble steps, i started to walk away from the bushes and the end of the tunnel. I walked limply across the valley of silvery grass, and as soon as i placed my hoof on the first strand of grass i realized it was miraculously frozen. It wasnt cold and the sky was clear, i wondered how on earth could the grass be frozen in such a warm weather and with the sky so clear and starry. I walked across the valley feeling the coldness of the grass on my feet and legs. My head was down in depression, exhaustion and pain, so i couldnt admire the fascinating preformance of the sky. There was a curtain of falling colours that changed intensity and shade as they waved, the stars glittered lazily behind the aura and the moon made a hopeless effort to defeat the beauty of the event.

I didnt realize that a small rattata had just ran between my legs in a frenetic scape from some sort of danger. I felt something hit my painful side and hurt my broken ribs, i yelled feeling a flaming pain run through my side. My legs lost balance from the impact and my whole body collapsed, i shook my head to get rid of the dizziness from the fall and stared in the direction of the impact to see my attacker. A small dog layed on the grass, he was extremely slim and graceful, his body was covered with a yellowish fur that spiked up on his head and back. A collar of spiky hairs like a blasting thunder was situated arround his head. His legs were thin and seemed to be ready for speed, and a thin tail rested on the grass. His face was round and pretty, and he looked young.

The dog shook his head and oppened his eyes, they were dark brown, nearly black, so deep you could easily disappear in them. I felt a wave of fear shake my body as the creature oppened his mouth revealing a collection of sharp fangs. He looked horrorized by my actions, "oh no, dont scream please, im not going to hurt you" his calming, teenage maleish voice said. His voice was hypnotizing and i immediatly shut my mouth and payed atention to his words. He walked front and stared at me with a curious face, he observed every little detail in me, "you know? I have never seen anything like you before" he told me with an intrigued voice. I laughed a little but it became a little gasp as laughing hurt my broken bones, he noticed and paced torwards my side, he stared at the wounds that had stopped bleeding, "what happened to you?" he asked me, an eyebrow narrowed in a worried but curious manner. I looked at the floor and fiddled with one of the frozen trands of eternally green grass, "i was eating with my family...then i woke up and decided to walk a little when you nocked me over" i explained the little yellow dog with as much detail as i could. The dog had been pacing arround me and finally decided to stop in front of me. I found it funny how he gasped every time i overdetailed some action or how i felt every single thorn cutting my flesh.

We stayed in silence for a moment, i was trying to hold back tears at the memory of my lost parents and he was just too stunned to say a word. When he managed to regain composture he stared at me, "geeee...im so sorry, you know? I never knew my parents, i was bought in a shop by a human but he abandoned me because i became a jolteon instead of an umbreon like he wanted" he told me with a tone of sadness in his voice and his long spiky ears falling down. I was shocked, "you are a jolteon? I have heard wonders about jolteons, my parents used to tell me tales about jolteons, there was a tale about a jolteon who shocked Quetzacolt, god of thunder, to protect the forest, and he acumulated so much energy that he became the misterious Raikou, lord of the forest somewhere in Asia" i told him excitedly. I could notice a slight trace of a blush staining his cheeks, and a dumb smile playing in his lips, "well...jolteons arent that great...actually they think im a devil in this island" he explained enraged, slashing the grass. I looked at him sadly, "you are no devil jolteon, i trust you" i assured him nudging him softly with my snout. Jolteon stared at me and a bright smile appeared in his lips, "thank you, you are the best pokemon i have ever known" he told me, and this time it was my turn to blush.

I looked up at the sky and gasped loudly at the magnificency of thse spectacle over my head, "in the name of Mew, what is that?" i said nearly yelling. Jolteon looked up and laughed softly, "that? Oh, its an aurora borealis, lights from the north" he said knowingly, but i was ready to break his moment of glory. I thought for a moment then smiled devilish, "but this is the south, how come there are lights from the north?" i asked him ironicly. Jolteon oppened his mouth ready to talk but no words came out, he stared at me thoughtfully and shrugged, "actually, i dont know, but people say i cause this mountains to be frozen" jolteon laughed soundly, "i have become Shiva, godess of ice" he said ironicly. I laughed along with him, and every moment i spent with jolteon was a moment of happiness in my life.

Jolteon and i grew a large friendship, he helped me cure my wounds and get through the pain much easier. In exchange i became his best friend and confident, a companion that he had never had, and helped him get through the depression that loneliness atracted. One night we saw the most strange appereance. Jolteon and i rested on the soft cold grass of the highest peak of the mountain, our bellies were bloated with food, and out bodies were heavy. We had decided to go up, joleon had insisted that he wanted to show me the whole island, and he did. From that height i could see everything, there was a tinny rocky beach behind us, and a path that lead t the top of a smaller mountain and down. The path reached a cumule of lights i couldnt recognize as anything i had ever seen, "what is that, jolteon?" i asked him quizzically. Jolteon stared at the lights, "oh, that is New City" jolteon said knowingly. I smiled, jolteon explained me all about the towns and cities in the island. I could see smaller villages but those were minor and most of them i could not even see then because they were hidden in the forest, and others in clearings were already sleeping. From new city i saw a vast extention of jungle, the jungle went up another mountain and became a forest of coniferous trees with needle leaves. Passed the mountain i could see another city, this one was Real City, it was a fascinating name for a city, i couldnt stop to wonder what it would look like. From real city i could see another extention of forest wich reached to another mountain, unlike the other mountains we had observed this one was harsh and rocky, it had steep slopes and i could see walls with sharp stones on the other side of the path. This mountain stood taller than us, that was the highest peak of the island's montanious chain, and it was completely covered with a layer of pure white snow. I stared at it in fascination, "that is Eternal Snow Peak and on the top of that mount is Ice Peak Town" jolteon explained in a serious voice. I was fascinated at the mountain, but jolteon's words broke me out of my trance, "you cant see it but on the other side, as you go down, you have to cross a desert with a large Oasis in the middle, there is a little village there, its called Oasia, after the desert you go through a small tropical jungle and Salt Crystal Town, mostly a toristical town" jolteon said wisely. He then pointed down under us where i could see a waterfall emergin from the mountains, a large lake and a giant jungle, "that is the secret Dragon Lake, the largest comunity of dragons in the world, sometimes i see them and they are so pretty" he explained dreamingly.

I was surprised, i couldnt explain myself how this creature knew so much about the island unless he had crossed it from side to side, maybe he was the mithycal Raikou. Jolteon noticed my gaze piercing through his sould as i searched for Raikou, "is there anything wrong?" he asked confused and hinting a trace of fear. I shook my head and smiled, "are you Raikou?" i snapped all of a sudden. Jolteon seemed taken back, "m...meee?" he said tilting his head to one side in a confused puppy manner. I nodded "yes" i confirmed, jolteon nearly laughed, "of course im not Raikou, why do you think so?" he asked confused and looking a little down for not being able to be what i acussed him he was. I smiled "oh, then how come you know so much about the island?" i asked him. Jolteon looked depressed this time, his ears fell sadly and his showlders were up, lowering his head, "this was my trainer's destination, he showed me the map a thousand times on our way here, we even came up here and he showed me the location of all the cities" jolteon explained, a sob escaped his throat. I looked at him sadly, "i never had a trainer so i dont know what it is like, but you have me now, you will never be alone" i told him reassuringly. Jolteon's mood brightened and the next thing i knew was that he was holding tightly to my neck, hugging me, "thank you Sanja, thank you" he said rubbing his tear stained face against my silky, patched fur.

The flapping of two giant wings could be heard nearby, and jolteon and i parted and stared in every direction. I stood up trying to expand my view area, but i couldnt see anything out of the ordinary in the peaceful island. Jolteon and i stared at each other, no words need to be said as we both understood that neither knew what was going on. Suddenly a large figure blocked the silvery half sphere that lit our area, and both our heads snapped front. I was able to catch a glimpsed of the creature in front of us before it flew away at top speed. It was a large blue bird, like a cross between a prey bird and a parrot, its beak was small but amazingly sharp, and of a dim golden colour. It had a pair of clawed legs like those from an eagle, the colour was the same dim golden like the beak's. Its head was small but elegant, and three long, dark blueish feathers that glittered like glass decorated it. A pair of reddish brown eyes pierced through the sky without paying atention to the poor, feeble creatures down here. Its feathers were bigger than a gyarados but looked extremely light and soft, i could see each fiber tangeling with another. The chest and stomach of the bird was covered with a layer of very soft and silky white feathers that looked extremely warm, only one of those could have made a bed for me and jolteon. As it flew past i could see a few really long feathers forming a tail that was longer than its whole body. The feathers looked very light and they shone like ice as the moonlight washed them.

The bird disappeared emmiting a song that counded like a chrystal harp, jolteon was completely stunned and both of us stared at the horizon long after the bird had disappeared. I stared at jolteon, "what was that?" i asked him confused and with fascination flowing through my voice. jolteon turned his head slowly to face me, "that was Articuno, lord of ice, my trainer used to say he would capture him in this island, but i always thought he was being a fool to believe that he could find an ice bird in a tropical island" jolteon explained excitedly. He faced the calm ocean once again, "my trainer was a genius, i always thought he was a little crazy but he was a genius, he knew that Dragon Lake existed, and he found the way to decifer the code of unown, he knew there was a temple of unown here somewhere and im sure he has found it by now, and more things" jolteon explained, his voice drowned as he tried to hold back tears. I stared at him in sorrow, "but he abandoned you" i told him, jolteon nodded "he didnt consider his pokemon as friends, that was his mistake, if he had, he would have been able to do great things, he would have been undefeatable, and i would have been at his side" jolteon said breaking down crying. I nudged him softly, "oh, jolteon, you shouldnt miss him" i told him tryig to comfort him, "i dont...but i have always been so lonely" jolteon sobbed feeling a little calmer now.

Days went by and i was quickly growing up from a calf to a beautiful teenager, my life with jolteon had helped me develop a slim, elegant figure and i had become quicker than any member in my specie. I was unique also because i helped jolteon in his hunts, hervivores didnt fear me so they could aproach me without fear, right? WRONG. When they were close enough, a swift stomp or kick did the job and dinner was ready for jolteon. Of course, our life was not always going to be colour pink, right? And our biggest fear became true.

Jolteon and i were resting peacefully under the shade of a tree, it was a noon and it was also an excepcionally warm summer. We had nothing to fear in out beautiful little mountain since humans never came this way and wild carnivores roamed another areas of the island. However that noon the rule was broken, the sound of horseshoes stomping the grass at full gallop alerted me, and the swishing of a pair of wings sent chills up and down my spine. Jolteon poked his head up and stared at me, "hum, how strange, its a rapidash and a fearow but those are not species from the island, and the rapidash seems to be following the fearow" jolteon said without hiding the confusion in his voice. i stood up quickly and stared, i was able to see the spearow heading our way and behind it a rapidash mounted by a human, "its a rapidash, a human and a spearow" i confirmed. Jolteon's face contorsioned in a horrorized one, "its a hunt, RUN!" he screamed and started running at full speed heading for the top of the mountain. I ran after him as quick as my legs could carry me but being much slower i had problems to keep up with him. I breathed heavily feeling my legs get heavy, like that time i escaped from the arcanines "come on Sanja, you can do it, you will outrun them" i told myself as jolteon disappeared and reappeared between the numerous hills.

The fearow was quickly hovering over me, casting a large shadow over my running body. It was an extremely fascinating bird, its brown wings were huge and its long beak looked as sharp as a sword. I stopped and glared at it angrily, i concentrated all my rage and fired a psybeam at the bird. The creature saw it coming and he covered himself with his wings creating a mirror attack, the beam bounced back and hit me on my side. I screamed in pain and terror and the creature finished his job by flying down at full speed and creating a deadly drill beak attack that pierced through my side creating a wound. The wound wasnt so deep but it was enough to weaken me. I felt something hit my side and continuously as if some vacuum cleaner sucked me. The next thing i knew was that i was locked in some sort of electronic cage. I shook trying to get out but the walls arround me held me tightly, "help, jolteon" i screamed in terror hopelessly trying to be heard. My effort was useless, i quickly gave up and stopped fighting, i would never get out of there, "sorry jolteon, i will not be able to keep my promise" i told myself and at the same time i told him.

Jolteon stared at the leaving rapidash and the fearow hovering over it, his stomach dropped as he ralized what had happened. A tear fell down his cheek as he farewelled his best and only friend, "good bye Sanja, im sorry, i should have protected you" he said. Then he faced the forest and started descending, descending to meet a young trainer and her charmeeleon.-

The creature shook her head wildly and wailed a loud scream, she turned arround and started running back inside but she didnt stop. With a graceful leap Selphie jumped through a window, shattering the glass in tiny pieces, some of wich cut through her flesh like the thorns from the rose bushes in the tunnel. She landed on the fresh morning grass giving a beautiful demonstration of her strong tendons, and started running without a direction to follow. Tears streamed down her face and dropped down wetting the grass with smalls drops like dew. Selphie had had a nice life, she had been treated well in the little girl's cottage but the new visitor had brought old memories, memories she had wanted to forget. She penetrated a forest without noticing, "jolteon, where are you? I miss you" the equine thought leaping unconciously over a tree root that seemed to be placed there in purpose. She stopped to catch her breath, one of her problems was that she was not too resistant and could become tired easily. She breathed heavily a couple of times and turned to face the North, "i know what i'll do, i will go back in search for jolteon, i hope he hasnt forgotten me" Selphie told herself as she raised one hoof to step down.

She heard the sound of pads stepping on the floor and slowly she turned her face arround to face her back. She saw a pair of greenish yellow eyes staring at her, the creature was hiding under a bush but the eyes glew in the dark like matches. Selphie leapt front and started running once again, she heard the rustling of leaves behind her and the angry roar of a large feline. Once again she was being hunted, she leapt over a few fallen branches that created a fence in front of her, but the agile feline jumped over them easily. Selphie ran uphill as quick as her legs could carry her, the sneaky sun blinding her once again as the leaves couldnt block it completely. She felt the soft feeling of valley grass under her feet once again as exited the forest at full speed and kept trotting uphill without looking back. She was reaching the top when another creature appeared in the oposite direction. It was a large horse, white like the snow she had seen the night with jolteon. The animal was tall and slim, its eyes were of a beautiful deep dark blue, and the mane and tail were a reddish flame that couldnt burnt unless on purpose. On the hooves the animal had also strands of the flaming fur, and the hooves themselves were of a bright silvery colour. On top of the horse was a trainer, she was young, not older than seventeen, her hair was long, dark reddish brown and held in a ponytail. Her face was oval shapped and a pair of icy blue eyes stared in horror at Selphie, her nose was slightly long and her lips were thick and fleshy, of a purpelish pink due to lipstick. Her whole body was thin but good looking, she was wearing a blue T-shirt that didnt cover her bellybutton, wich she had pierced with a small ring and a little green emerald in a silvery ball. On her back she had a small tribal shapped tattoo, a collection of tangeled black lines on the lower part of her back. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans that had the bottom ripped and blue sport shoes that were wasited down from the journey.

The rapidash caught a faint glimpse of the pokemon that dashed torwards her, "watch out" she nieghed horrorized and hopelessly at the same time. Neither was able to dogge the other and both of them smashed against the other, chest with chest. Their hooved legs failed to hold onto the terrain and all balance was lost as Selphie collapsed to the side and the rapidash fell forward throwing the rider off her backs. The trainer fell forward and rolled on the grass several times until being able to stop, another creature was thrown off the horse, it was a small yellowish dog with spiky fur. The trainer stood up swiftly and rushed torwards the two equines, she touched the rapidash's legs whose knees were cut and bleeding, "are you ok Unicorn?" she asked her. Unicorn looked up and nodded, "im fine Jag" she comfirmed, she then walked torwards the smaller equine that layed next to her rapidash. The trainer took out her pokedex and pointed it at the animal, "Girafarig, quick and strong, this animal is able to establish psychical contact with their trainer and develop psychic attacks. They have a false head that moves and opens its mouth, it can bit but it wont see, used to confuse predators" the electronic voice of the metallic, red enciclopedia said. Jag looked at the whimpering creature who stared at her frightened, "i...i...i..." Selphie tried to say hopelessly. Jag stood up and closed her fists, "a girafarig, cool, im gonna capture it" she told herself.

A collection of barks echoed in the distance, right in the border between the forest and the hill. Selphie's head snapped up, and her ears twitched paying atention to the barks, she knew those barks, she had heard that voice. A wave of excitement rushed through her body, she tried to stand up on her hurted ankle but her weight cause the collapse of her whole self, she stared in the direction of the barks, "jolteon" she whispered faintly. Jag turned arround and stopped paying atention to the girafarig, "Jolt?s'everything awrite?" she called out worried. Selphie's moment of happiness vanished as she realized this jolteon barking was this trainer's pokemon, she had hoped that he would be her jolteon that had come to save her.

At the sound of his trainer's voice calling him, Jolt stopped paying atention to the hidden feline that layed under some bushes. Her turned arround swiftly and started running uphill as fast as his long, thin legs could carry him, escaping from danger and from the posibility of a sneak attack. He started visualizing the shapes of her trainer and Unicorn, but something caught his atention, a third shape, a very familiar third shape. He stopped dead in his tracks as he saw the pokemon that layed painfully on the floor, the legs crossed and a twisted ankle. At the same time Selphie saw him and she would have fallen on the floor if it wasnt because she was already laying down. Jolt walked torwards her and examined her closer walking arround her, Jag and Unicorn had dissipated from his perception, it was now him and the gyrafarig. Jolt stopped in front of her and Selphie stared into his deep, dark brown eyes, "so deep you could get lost in them" Selphie told herself.

Jolt narrowed an eyebrow and stared into her deep, dark blue eyes, "Sanja?" he finally said, his voice was lost and all that came out was a faint whisper. Selphie nearly cried of happiness, a large smile spread through her lips showing her flat teeth, "jolteon, is that really you?" Selphie aked him. Jolt leapt of joy and hugged her neck rubbing his tear stained face on Selphie's neck, "oh, Sanja, im so sorry, im so sorry" Jolt cried soaking the girafarig's long neck. Selphie shut her eyes tightly and felt a current of warm tears wetting her cheeks on their way down. Both of them pulled away and smiled at each other, "my name now is Selphie, Jolteon" Selphie told him with a smile, Jolt nodded, "mine's Jolt" he said smiling back at the long necked equine. Jag felt a burning sensation in her chest and a deep antipathy torwards the girafarig. She felt the sudden urge to break in the conversation so she walked forward and patted Jolt in the shoulder so strongly that it almost sent him flying against a tree. Jolt looked up at her, "so, you guys know each other, fascinating" Jag said with an ironic tone, Jolt nodded happily but at the same time his mind was trying to analize this harsh personality of his trainer.

Jag stood up, "all right then, i guess you dont mind if we catch it" she said holding four pokeball. Tossing the four shinny, metallic spheres up in the air, she summoned her four eons, "come on espeon, Umbra, Llama and Bluemist". The pokeballs shone brightly and split open, the white area parted away from the red area wich carried the black belt arround them, and four balls of shinny, silvery white light erupted from inside. The four beams started taking the shape of cuadrupeds and soon four dogs stood in front of the gyrafarig. One of them was completely blue, the fur shone brightly with the beams of sun that caressed i delicately. She had a fin arround her neck and another fin going from the head to the spine, her ears had the shape of fins as well. Her tail was thick and musculous and had the shape of a siren's tail, the legs were palmed and her eyes were of a deep abyss blue. Another dog was slightly taller but he had a thick coat of wild, creamy fur, it didnt cover part of his body and the legs, and those areas were covered with a layer of shorter, darker, reddish brown fur. The tail was almost as large as his whole body, and he had a pair of eyes of a reddish, light brown colour. There was a dog as dark as the night with circular, yellowish markings in some areas of her body, her fur was short and her body thin, her eyes were the colour of honey. The fourth dog was a pretty silvery coloured dog with silky fur that shone like if some strange aura wrapped her. Her eyes were an undescriptable mix of blue and violet, more violet than blue, and misterious like her whole self. Her ears were large and like those of a lynx, her tail was smooth and it split in two at one point in the half of it. She resembled more a cat than the dog she was, and her barking echoed in a way that seemed as if she hadnt said anything.

Jolt stared at the four dogs horror struck, his gaze flew from each of the dogs to her trainer, from Jag to Selphie and again the dogs. He stood in front of Selphie protectively, "Jag, what are you doing? She is deffenseless, she is hurt and cant fight, she wont stand a chance against Umbra alone, much less the four eons" Jolt reasoned with her. Jag placed her hands on her hips and tapped her foot, "the five eons" she corrected him. Jolt shook his head, "im not fighting her, Jag" he explained, the trainers features contorsed in a furious face, "you are my pokemon and you will do whatever i tell you" she screamed at the yellow dog. Jolt glared at her angrily, "OH! So if you say 'jump off a cliff' i have to do it just because im yur pokemon? DONT YOU THINK WE HAVE FEELINGS?" he yelled at her spiking his fur and letting several sparks fly. Jag responded with an angry step front "sometimes it looks like YOU DONT" she yelled at him. Jag was expecting to receive a deadly charge from her loyal pokemon and one of her best friends, but nothing happened, instead Jolt sat down and calmed down a bit, his spiked up fur fell down again. Jolt sighed "what happened to you Jag? Where is the caring trainer that captured me? Where is that trainer that managed to escape from the unown, that defeated the undefeatable leader, that batteled an aerodactyl, that nearly drowned to capture a starmie, that stayed awake days just to make sure i was all right, where are you?" Jolteon said, his voice sounding calm but at the same time serious and thoughtful. Jag took one step back, "i...i...oh Jolt" she said and took a step front to aproach her, but something made her change her mind. Selphie nudged Jolt sfotly on the back, "good job, Jolt, looks like the pokemon tamed the trainer" Selphie giggeled. Jolt responded with a dreamy "yeah..." and his sweet teenage smile, the one he had reserved for his trainer. Jag observed the two pokemon, he saw the smile, her smile, "tha...that was my smile" she whispered to herself, her voice dropping from her powerful and confident one to a soft, and lost teenager voice. The burning sensation in her chest grew larger, the flame got hotter and her thoughts spinned in her head like a furious starmie.

Jag took a step front and pointed at Selphie, "attack" she comanded and the four eons leapt forward obediently. Jolt turned quickly torwards the attacking dogs and without thinking twice he released a powerful thunder attack that broke its way torwards the eons. The attack hit Bluemist who collapsed nearly paralized and hurt, the electric current had given her a large shock, and she could barely move. Bluemist oppened her eyes slowly, she stared at the leader of her pack, at the newcomer and the furious trainer that had comanded her to attack. She raised her head and stared back and foth, from dog to human, she observed the features in the girl's face. She analized her gestures and could see a mixture between sadness and rage, she knew that feeling, she had felt the same, she had had those features, and she knew she could have killed if given the chance. She tried to go back to their talk by the stream:

- 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 words kept repeating in Bluemist's mind, the sound arround her had vanished and only a faint echo was heard, "different?" she whispered staring at her former trainer. Her gaze traveled from the dark haired teenager to the yellow dog that kept batteling the three eons. Suddenly it hit her harder than Jolt's thunder, "different" she repeated, her eyes oppened wide at the realization of what her trainer's words had meant. She stared at the frustrated young woman, "oh Suicune, i understand it now" she told herself, a hint of fear in her voice. Her gaze moved back torwards Jolt who tackeled his former girlfriend, "too bad he doesnt" Bluemist sighed sadly staring at the floor. She stared at the group of eons battelign each other, and at the frightned girafarig with a hurt leg, she had to do something, she just had to, she didnt know what, but her natural goodness was stronger than her obedience to her trainer. Bluemist tried to fight the paralization back, her legs shook dangerously as she pushed her body up, feeling for the first time the weight of her bones. A dog leapt next to her, "are you allright?" a young, maleish voice said. Bluemist looked up to meet a pair of lovely, reddish brown eyes staring down at her, she smiled at the dog and nodded, "im fine Llama, dont worry" she told him sweetly. Llama nodded and started dashing torwards the more experience jolteon, he leapt up and tried to push the dog down to bite him, but the quicker and more agile Jolt rolled on the floor away from the attack and released a current of electricity torwards the dog.

Espeon's speed was nearly as high as Jolt's, she used her feline agility to escape the numerous discharges sent at her, and fired several beams of colorful psychical energy that were avoided by the yellow dog. Jolt's frustration grew larger, he was getting tired and wasnt sure he could keep up with the four dogs all by himself. His atention was placed of the violet feline like dog, both of them mantained a competition about agility and speed, but Jolt had a disadvantage, espeon was able to heal herself if needed, while he had to carry his pain all along the battle. The much slower Umbra ran torwards the distracted dog, her thin but strong legs carried her along the battlefield, quickening her pace and getting ready to charge her boyfriend. Jolt heard the canine paws breaking the grass and soil under them, he made the mistake of turning his gaze torwards the black dog, leaving espeon without vigilance. Jolt got ready to leap away from the powerful takedown, but he received a powerful psybeam that sent him flying away. He stopped his flight when he slammed against a nearby tree, a thick cicadaceous that hurt his back. Jolt collapsed and nearly fainted, his body weakenned and back hurting, he felt as if a thousand burning needles were being introduced in his backbone. His dark brown eyes oppened, the image became blurr but he could easily recognize each of the eons from their colour and shape. He saw Selphie screaming and kicking, trying to push her body up so she could escape, he recognized three of the four eons getting closer to the girafarig, ready to terminate their job.

Bluemist had managed to stand up, but her body was still weak, she observed the reaction of her trainer, and wasnt surprised about it. Jag had moved a step back, her skin had paled incredibly and her shaky hands were placed covering her mouth. The vaporeon was able to see the fear running through her eyes, Jag had lost control of the situation, she had lost it completely, and was too horrorized to react. Bluemist shook her head slowly, "no, this is not the way" she told herself. Her dark blue eyes moved torwards the trainer's icy blue ones, "Jag, react and stop this crime" Bluemist screamed at the girl, her voice suddenly regaining her usual power. Jag's hands were removed from her face, and her gaze moved to face the vapoeron's, "i...i...Bluemist...i...i cant" Jag mumbled, she was lost for words, she had finally found herself to be weaker, she had found a weak point in her soul. Bluemist sighed  angrily, "you can, Jag, there is nothing you cant do if you think about it like that" Bluemist yelled at her, emphasizing the truth in he words. Jag just stared at the dog, her confused mind analizing the words shot at her, analizing the situation, analizing her feelings.

Jolt found the strenght to push his body up, a burning feeling of rage forming inside him, a rage he had never felt, and a sense of antipathy torwards the mindless dogs. His back still hurted but his will and sense of truth, fairness and protection torwards the girafarig was stronger than his pain. He started running torwards the three eons that were getting ready to bite the irafarig, ready to use their deadly dark attack. The pain vanished from his body as he ran, he believed he could do it, he believed he was stronger than the three of them. Jolt leapt over Selphie and tackled Umbra and espeon. Espeon's agility helped her to leap away gracefully, but Umbra was pushed against the floor, Jolt stood over her, his lips curled showing his sharp fangs, his paw and claws on Umbra's neck. The dark eon's amber eyes analized Jolt's teeth, wich hungered blood, a pressuring feeling of fear wrapped her.

Llama sneaked torwards Jolt, his mouth oppened and his stomach ignated chemicals to release his type attack. Jolt realized that he was going to be burnt into a crisp if he didnt act quickly, but this time he was going to act strategically, he was going to try not to focus his atention on just one of the dogs. In front of his stunned eyes a colum of freezing water flew over him, dripping like a rain cloud and soaking his fur. The colum of water hit the fire pokemon, having a super effective effect and hurting the pokemon. Llama collapsed, his body completely wet and cold, and his internal fire too weak to keep him standing. Jolt kept his paw controling his girlfriend, but his eyes were staring stunned at the fire pokemon. In front of him landed a graceful bueish dog, her deep blue eyes stared at the fire dog and her body had miraculously recovered from paralize. Jolteon recognized this dog, "bluemist?" he asked, his voice broken from surprise and exhaustion. The vaporeon turned to look at him, she nodded while smiling "i came to help you" she said, she spoke softly but determined. Jolt tilted his head like a confused puppy, "but, but she comanded you to attack, i attacked you..." Jolt said, confused and lost for words. Bluemist nodded, "true, but she lost control, you need help, and so does Jag..." Bluemist started explaining, but her voice was cut by an angry snort. Jolt stared at the floor, "she doenst need any help, she is autosufficient" he roared angrily. Bluemist was pulled back, she had expected a harsh reaction but she had deeply wished that the friendship strongly mantained between the pokemon and trainer hadnt faded.

Espeon sneaked torwards the two eons, she was getting ready to attack. The jewel on her forehead started glowing, ready to release one of the most deadly attacks ever preformed by a pokemon. Selphie recognized it, she had known how to preform it, she had done it a couple of times and knew it drained most of your energy. She stood up quickly, ignoring the pain on her front leg, "hyper beam, watch out" she yelled while leaping in front of both eons and releasing a beam of soft, and colorful light. The psybeam hit the espeon, it wasnt enough to faint her being from the same type, but she was pushed back and the hyper beam was directed away from them. Jolt and Bluemist stared at Selphie, surprise was written in their faces, but the cunning Umbra used this moment when Jolt had softenned the grip on her neck for her own benefit. She kicked the thunder dog on the stomach and quickly rolled away from the two dogs, Selphie got ready to attack the umbreon if necessary, even though she knew she had nothing to do against her.jolt gasped and huffed as he tried to regain all the air he had lost, the kick had been strong and the oxigen had been nocked out of him abruptly. Bluemist growled angrily, her finned ears were pricked back and her lips curled, her head was down in a battle position. She raised her head quickly and her angry eyes stared at the still horo struck trainer, "only you can stop this" Bluemist yelled at her.

Jag didnt react immediatly, the words had entered her head but her internal fury and pain was still dominating her concious mind. The sound vanished and a numb murmuring could be heard, the animals were read to attack each other, all of them hurt and tired, some obeying and some rebeling to prove fairness. Then it hit her, she wasnt doing anything positive, she was just acting like a jeallows child who wants something, "jeallows?" Jag thought to herself, but her actions had to be done soon, and she had no time to waist, so the matter was pushed to the back of her head. She ran torwards the pokemon and raised a hand "stop" she yelled to the crowd. Her voice echoed in the small hill, both, obedient and rebelious pokemon obeyed, the obedient pokemon because they were told to, and the rebelious ones because they had gotten what they wanted.

Jag took three spherical items from a specialized belt around her waist, with a silent comand she returned Llama, Umbra and espeon into their pokeball, wich were marked by a small symbol from their type. Done that, she walked hesitant torwards the girafarig, but the pokemon moved back, she had been attacked and didnt trust this trainer. Jag understood, her spirit dropped and embarrasment for her fool actions took over her strong self, "im sorry" she whispered faintly, tears forming in her eyes and her voice drowned from the sadness she felt. She turned arround and started walking torwards Unicorn, who had managed to stand up but had refused to participate in such a brutal action. Jag sat down between Unicorn's legs, she closed her eyes tightly and let the tears flow down her cheeks. She felt bad and weak, she felt like she had lost the most important thing in her life, she felt as if she had lost Jolt...forever.

Bluemist saw it an sighed, "she really is sorry Jolt" she told the yellow dog who refused to look, "i dont care, she shouldnt have done that" Jolt growled. Bluemist nodded, "i know, but you must learn to forgive" Bluemist told him seriously and sounding more mature than her age. Jolt turned to look at the trainer, he saw her sitting there, tears glittering with the sun as they ran down her cheeks. The anger and hate he felt right now started to diminish, he started feeling strange, he started realizing he just couldnt be mad at the woman. A strange feeling started to grow in his heart, his stomach was full of butterfrees and a strange shudder went through his spine when he stared at her face, "she looks so...pretty, even when crying" he told himself, not even stopping to analize the words that accidentally scaped his mouth. Suddenly he didnt feel mad at her any more, but his pride was stronger than him, he refused to aproach her, he refused to talk to her.

A small girl appeared between the bushes, her sudden appereance startled the pokemon and Jag fell down when Unicorn moved away. The girl stopped for a moment to stare at the pokemon, her face brightened at the visualization of one "Selphie" she screamed and started running torwards the girafarig. Selphie tried to move away but the girls arms were tightly wrapped arround her neck, she stared at Jolt with a look that asked for help. The girl let go off the girafarig's neck and walked torwards the trainer, she smiled at Jag who was quickly rubbing off her tears and making a small effort to stand up. The girl stopped in front of her, "are you the one who has found my girafarig?" the little girl asked. Jag nodded while she shook the dust off her jeans, "yes, are you the trainer?" she asked managing a smile for the first time. The little girl nodded happily, "yes, i am, my name is Shara, are you a pokemon trainer?" Shara said happily. Jag nodded, "aha, i am, my name is Jaguar, but people call me Jag" Jag explained feeling better that she was able to talk to this girl. Shara smiled pleased, "nice, so, since you have found my pokemon, i will let you stay in my house for the night, ok?" Shara said holding the teenager's hand softly. Jag scratched her head embarrased, "well, that wasnt one of my plans but...ok" she snapped quickly, she really wanted to sleep in a bed instead of in the hard floor. Shara leapt up happily, "gream, come with me" the little blond girl said pulling the trainer alone. The pokemon followed their trainers on the way to the house. Selphie stared at the thunderdog with a frightened look, she didnt want to return to the house, but somehow staring at her long lost friend made her realize that no matter what Jag had done, he will never leave her alone, unless she did something very grave.

 They reached the house after half an hour of walking in silence, the night extendeed its sparked, dark blue veil over the ceiling of the sky. Only the girl and the teenager's voices could be heard, and the soft ratteling of the sand, moving under the creatures' feet. Shara oppened the small, old looking wooden door and all of them walked inside the surprisingly comforable house. An older woman, about Jag's age greeted them with a secure looking smile. She was tall and had short, blond hair that shone a reddish colour with the daning light emmited by a fireplace. Her face was round and a pair of secure looking, blue eyes were placed on it. Her nose was small and sharp, and her lips were thin but draw a confident smile on the girl's face. She was very thin and wore a T-shirt with the drawing of a lugia and a pair of shorts ripped on the bottom. A pair of Nike sport shoes were placed on her feet, and arround her waist was a pokebelt with several pokeball. Jag smiled at the womn and shok her hand "my name is Jaguar, this girl has invited us for the night since i found her girafarig" the trainer told the other woman politely. The girl shook her hand and nodded, "my name is Alice, thank you for finding Selphie, are you a pokemon trainer?" Alice asked with her characteristical smile. Jag's smile grew large and lopsided, and she placed a hand on her hip and let the other hang losely, her eyes stared into the girls with one eyebrow raised. Alice giggled loudly and punched Jag slightly on the shoulder, "gotcha, you are a pokemon trainer" Alice said trying to keep her cracked voice from laughing. Jag nodded, "and one of the best, with these pokemon, what else" Jag said oppening her arms and winking at Jolt who grinned sheepishly. The thunder pokemon felt the blood vessels from his cheeks inflate under his furry skin, and a small blush crept up his face as he felt a flock of butterfrees fly past his stomach once again. Alice laughed again, this time much louder, and making a move with her hand, she guided everyone inside a deliciously decorated dinning room. Threre was a black and white marble table on the center of it, it was shapped between oval and rectangular, and ondulated black wooden legs sotained the heavy rocky surface. The chairs were also built out of ondulated black wood, wich shone under the artificial lights that hanged from the white painted ceiling. The walls were polished stone and many pictures, most of them people with pokemon drawn in oil colours, were vigilating the group from their small corner in the walls. Alice made a small, mock reverence, "dinner will be served in a minute, will you accept my hospitality and sit by the table, oh Master?" the blond teenager said ironicly.Jag punched her softly on the shoulder and laughed along with Alice "oh, come on, i'll help you bring the plates" she said shaking her head wildly to move the hair from her eyes.

Jolt stared at the clear starry sky, the moon smiled down at him, and the blooming flowers hypnotized him with their sweet, nightly scent. The dog breathed deeply and scented the fresh night aroma, his lungs filled with the oxigen that trees gifted him for the only purpose of living. His dark brown eyes reflected the eternal face of the moon, wich's silvery smile shone into his heart. He sighed deeply and looked down, a few dandelion's leaves floated away as their tiny feathers were caressed by the CO2 being expulsed out of his body. He looked up once again, his features refleceted nothing but worry, worry that seemed out of concept in this peaceful spring night. He stared at the ceiling of sparking stars and sighed once again, "may the gods hear my pledgings, but do answer my questions, oh Great Godess of the Moon, is my conclussion correct on my feelings?" Jolt howled at the moon expecting to find an answer. The moon stared at the dog silently, no sound echoed torwards the confused creature, and his doubts remained the same. Jolt sighed once again and stared at the moist grass under his feet, "did the moon resolve your doubts?" a femaleish voice coming from behind startled him. Jolt turned his head to see a feline figure aproaching him, her thin fur shone a silvery blue colour and her dorsal fin became transparent as the moon light flew through it. Her blue eyes looked darker and more misterious in the clear darkness of the night, and a knowing smile was drawn on her dark blue lips. Jolt shook his head, "oh hi Bluemist, i came here in search for answers, but i got none" he moaned sadly and hopelessly. Bluemist sat next to him and stared at the moon, "perhaps you need someone more physical to whom ask for advice" Bluemist said, her eyes ran from the silvery moon to the yellow dog's eyes. Jolt shook his head slowly, "no Bluemist, this is something too personal to tell you...yet" Jolt reasoned, and focused his gaze on the moon once more, his eyes scanning through it, wishing to see a hint of hope. Bluemist shook her head in a hopeless manner as she stood up, standing on her elegant, thin legs, "ask me whenever you decide it is time" she told Jolt understandingly. The water dog walked away from the thoughtful lightning quick animal and walked back inside the small cottage. Jolt stared at Bluemist until she had completely disappeared inside the darkness of the sleeping cottage, and once again his eyes moved torwards the moon. He sighed faintly once more, "oh Godess, if you could just show me you exist, only once" he whispered to the moon. His eyes noticed a faint but extremely shinny spark that moved in the center of the spherical satellite over his head, his ears snapped up and his mouth oppened in a gasp. He stared excitedly at the moon, his heart nearly missing a beat, but realization flooded him, "oh, it was perhaps a butterfree flying high or a shooting star" Jolt reasoned, a small lopsided smile playing on his lips to remind him how fool he was. He turned arround to walk back to the cottage, his eyes visualizing the small window wich's darkness extended torwards infinity. A faint voice made him stop, it wasnt soft and gentle but couldnt be described neither as male nor as female, "follow your heart, Jolt" the voice said and it quickly faded. Jolt's eyes widdened in surprise, he turned his head arround and stared at the moon, his whole body frozen from the impact of the small event. A small spark was seen moving in zigzags arround the moon, and Jolt's lips curved into a large smile, his sharp fangs shone in delight, "thank you" he said and started running torwards the cottage, his tail wagging happily behind him.

Jag woke up feeling the already familiar and lately pleasant weight of Jolt's weight on her stomach. She blinked several times until the bright sunlight that penetrated the room had become bearable to her icy blue eyes. Jag shook her pokemon gently until his dark brown eyes oppened, he yawned deeply and stretched and once his mind had realized where he was, he greeted his trainer with a happy bark. Jag smiled sweetly and patted his head greeting him as well. The girl stood up quickly and stared at the room, it was a common rural room, the bed and furniture were all built out of logs carefully placed like a puzzle. The logs still conserved their rough appereance and this made the place look even more homely for the trainer. The bedcovers were built out of patches of clothes, but they were ordered in such a way that it looked even pleasant to the eyes. Jag got dressed quickly but no matter how much she looked, she couldnt find her league cap that had been with her ever since her journy started. Jolt found amusing how his trainer threw everything out of the wardrove and fought against the bedcovers to find her cap. Giving up Jag moved torwards the door and poked her head out, "Alice, have you seen my cap?" the girl's voice echoed into the small house, mixing with a sweet scent of pancakes that was caught by her nostril's. Alice's voice echoed back, "its in one of the drawers" it answered and as fast as the data had been analized in her brain, Jag's head disappeared inside and she was quickly by the drawer.

Her thin fingers held the rough handle built out of a few thick twigs and she pulled it oppen, there were many papers and items in it. With an annoyed groan Jag started pulling papers out and moving the items out of her way noisily in search of her beloved cap. The coins chimmed and the numerous potions tinkled, Jolt's eyes stared at Jag curiously, every detail, the frustration drawn on her face's features, the beauty of her blue eyes, her graceful body and the way she nearly fell head first in the drawer. Jolt smiled lovingly, the words of confidence he had gotten the previous night echoing in his voice, "i will" he whispered silently as a reafirmation of the Godess' order. Jag's eyebrows were narrowed in frustration as her hands dug into the pile of medicines and used stones. The girl's eyebrows stopped forcing themselves down and her mouth oppened revealing a set of pearly white teeth, her frustration escaped and surprise replaced iton her features. She moved up a bit and enlarged her arm to grab something out of the drawer. Her hand pulled out a silvery chord and hanging from it was a very shinny white crystal. The crystal was like a piece of ice quartz, it looked amazingly smooth and polished but visually it didnt look like a human had ever placed hands on it to refiner it. The glass seemed to glow with an inner light brighter than that of the sun, a pure white as the moon's light on its newly formed full moon. The crystal was firmly placed on a small silvery glass shapped thing that grabbed it and allowed it to hang from the chord. It looked old and had strange symbols the shape of chinese and greek letres mixed, written all arround it. Jag stared at the crystal with unexplainabl fascination, the crystal seemed to atract her, the light penetrated her heard, living in it, showing her a feeling of confidence and power she had never felt before. Her eyes examined every single piece of the crystal, it was so perfect, so smoothly cut, it's walls were so shinny, without a scratch on them, someone could say this crystal was magical.

A voice snapped the trainer out of her fascination on the crystal, Jag moved her head to view the eyes belonging to the creature that spoke, "what is that supposed to be?" asked Jolt tilting his head to one side. Jag shook her head and stared at the dancing crystal once more, "i dont know, Jolt, i dont know" Jag answered staring at the beautiful piece of mineral. Jag hadnt heard the tiny footsteps that aproached her shyly, she hadnt noticed the small person standing behind her, observing the crystal as well, "its a Summoner's Stone" said a small voice so softly it nearly whispered. Jag turned arround and saw Shara standing there holding Jag's League Cap, her foot rocking back and forth and a small blush staining her cheeks. Jag threw herself on her knees and grabbed the cap from the girl's hands, "my cap, where did you find it?" Jag asked, excitement and happines filling her heart. The girl smiled happily, "Selphie had it, but i got it because i knew it was yours" Shara explained, a joyful glow shinning in her eyes. Jag hugged the girl warmly, "thank you, Shara" she told the little child, who hugged her back smiling.

Jag stared at the crystal that was still being held by her hand, she pulled away from the child as soon as she remembered hearing the name of the crystal erupting from the girls lips. Jag's icy blue eyes pierced the child's sapphire ones accidentally intimidating her, "Shara, how did you call this?" Jag asked quizzycally placing the crystal in fron of the girl. Shara stared at the crystal wich moved from left to right slightly, rocking like a pendulum. The child looked up again, "it is a Summoner's Stone" she repeated pointing at the crystal wich had nearly stopped. Jag's face showed concern and curiosity on the strange piece of crystal, "what is a Summoner's Stone exactly?" she asked the child who smiled excitedly. Shara's eyes brightened and a joyful smile appeared in her lips, "it is a stone used by Summoners to summon Gods and Warriors" Shara said gesturing how Summoners called the great Gods and Warriors. Jag giggled softly at the acting girl, he face resumed he serious features as she got ready to ask another question, "what is a Summoner?" she asked once again, not too surprise that the child knew more than her on such a fantasious topic. Shara smiled softly, "Summoners are special people who are able to contact the Great Creatures, like witches and wizards with their magic. Usually they use them to deffend themselves, but some Summoners have used their ability to destroy entire cities" Shara explained, her hands clapsed together as she explained, her face reflecting a dreamy look. Jag smiled at the enthusiastic child, "so Shara, how do you know so much about this? Have you ever summoned?" Jag asked curiously. Shara's happiness dropped and her face turned down to greet the floor, "i read it in a book, but i have never summoned, i tried to call the Moon Godess, but she never came" Shara explained sadly. Jag looked at the girl with simpathy, she hugged her once again but pulled out as another questio tickled her brain. Jag smiled at the girl, "dont worry, i'm sure you will be able to summon someday, but, who is the Godess of the Moon?" she asked the child smiling. Shara smiled back at the trainer and got ready to answer, but Jolt leapt down from the bed and started talking, getting Jag's atention.

Jolt's swift paws touched the ground and he paced torwards his trainer trying to stare into her eyes, "the Godess of the Moon is one of the godess i believe in, commonly known as Mew, the mythical space cat, us pokemon worship gods and godesses as well, and that is the greates one" Jolt explained quickly, a hint of excitement flooding his voice. Jag smiled at the dog, "if that is so, why didnt i know?" Jag asked the dog staring into his eyes in search for answer, "well, you never asked" Jolt answred a mocking grin playing in his lips. Meanwhile Shara stared at the teenager, surprise written in her face, her eyes were open wide and her mouth slightly open showing her teeth and the gaps where the pearly ivory had fallen. Jag noticed the concern in the child, she turned her face to focus in the girl, her face resumed a serious position, "is there anything wrong Shara?" Jag questioned the girl. Shara pulled away from Jag's grip arround her, she took a step back and found the comforting touch of Selphie's fur behind her, "you...you can speak to pokemon?" the girl questioned Jag. The trainer stood up shocked, "ca...cant we all?" Jag asked, her voice trembling with fear and surprise. Shara shook her head slowly, "not unless you are a werewolf" she answered with her frightened little voice and ran out of the room at top speed. Jag stayed there, a thousand thoughts running through her mind, she was the only one who could speak to pokemon and she had recently discovered it. Could it be she was a werewolf? And if she was, why didnt she know already? There were many questions without answer, she was too confused to think clearly, "pearhaps thats why i feel this way" Jag whispered to herself staring at the open door.

After breakfast the trainer stood at the door, "well Alice, nice meeting you, hope we meet again" Jag told the teenager trainer shaking her hand. Alice nodded and smiled "i could say the same Jaguar, if you ever need help with anything, just call me" Alice told the trainer. Jag nodded and turned arround, she started walking torwards the forest, he mind still busy with thoughts but not as much as previously. A voice stopped the trainer on her tracks, "Jaguuuaaaaaar, wait up....." the voice of a female child called out. Jag turned arround and saw little Shara running torwards her, her hand raised and something hanging from a silvery chord that was sotained by the child's delicate fingers, it was the Summoner's Stone. Jag kneeled on the floor to be able to see the girl into the eyes, "Shara, i....i thought you feared me" Jag told the child. Shara shook her head vigorously, "mmm,mmm, i dont fear you, here, wanted to give you this" Shara said as she placed the Summoner's Stone on Jag's open hand. Jag stared at the crystal in surprise, she stared at the child openmouthed, "but Shara, this is yours, you will not be able to summon if you dont have it" Jag reasoned with the child. Shara shook her head, "im not a Summoner, it will be of much more use to you" Shara explained, she blinked an eye and smiled knowingly. Jag was just completely confused, but her thin fingers closed arround the crystal as a grateful smile curved her lips. Shara ran torwards the house and Jag stood up, she stared at the tiny cottage for a few moments after Shara had disappeared through the door, "nice people here" Jolt said with a nostalgic voice, "yep" Jag sighed happily. With that both pokemon and trainer disappeared through the thickness of the waking forest.

Night had falled quickly over the forest of Real City, the starry sky was clear and the moon shone brightly, its silvery rays entering shyly through the thickness of the newly bloomed trees. Jag set down a camp and prepared a small fire to cook lunch, her sleeping bag was place on the floor, on a bed of soft, humid, bright green grass and she was resting peacefully on it. Jolt woke up shivering, it wasnt cold but there was a lonely feeling covering his heart, it was still dark but his trainer was nowere to be seen. Jolt stood up alarmed and started scanning the area in search of the person who meant so much to him. He ran around the camp in bigger circles each time, his eyes scanning every single piece of grass in search for clues of where she could have gone. Jolt's worry went deep in his heart as his mind raced with an endless amount of thoughts, "what if she has been turned into a werewolf? She might have just gone for a walk but, what if she has been ambushed by a pack of hungry ninetales..." jolt shook that thought out of his mind. He knew that without her pokemon, his trainer was completely deffenseless, but Jolt could only keep his hopes up, it was all he could do until he found her.

A whispering sound caught by his ears made him stop dead on his tracks. He followed the direction of wind as it brought him the familiar voice. Soon after he found Jag, she was sittting on a moss covered rock and played insistently with the crystal wich rotated arround itself speedily reflecting the moon's beams. Glitterings and beams of ligh flew in every direction, touching the barks of the trees and shinning on the dew covered grass. Jolt paced slowly torwards her, "Jag, are you all right?" he asked her, a worried look drawn in his face. Jag smiled at him, "oh, hi Jolt, im fine, look, i didnt become a werewolf" Jag said smiling softly, but a joking grin spread over her face. Jolt smiled shyly, he could have melted right there, his heart speeded its beating rate and his cheeks turned a deep shade of red fortunately covered by his fur. Jolt stared at the spinning stone, "do you think you can summon?" he asked all of a sudden, his curiosity and his wish to see the Godess of the Moon defeating his shyness. Jag shrugged and stared at the dog, "i dont know" she answered staring at the crystal. As if some sudden urge had pulled her to do so, she placed the crystal arround her neck and tied it firmly. She stood up and stared at Jolt, whose face showed fascination, excitement and surprise, "im going to try" she told him with a voice that sounded nearly whispering.

Jag closed her eyes and concentrated, she felt the strenght and energy contained in her inside, it couldnt be defined where her energy was, it was some hidden pont between the stomach and the chest. She placed both hands arround the crystal and felt the energy flowing torwards her arms as if the crystal atracted it, she felt the energy focusing on the crystal, penetrating it, filling it. Jolt's eyes widdened in complete amazement, the crystal had started glowing brighter than the sun, but had become a pure white colour. The light inside it was so bright you couldnt define the shape of the stone, it looked like a very small sun that lit the girl's skin. Jag's hands moved slowly one under the other, she made like an indian dance as both hands slid under each other like an oceanic plate under the continental one. With the speed of lightning Jag's left hand when down and her right hand shoot up, her palm glowing brightly. Jag's eyes oppened and a fascination penetrated her as she observed the events, the crystal blinding her, the palm of her hand sotaining part of that energy. She smiled joyfully and a feeling of power never felt before grew inside her, "I summon you oh Great Godess of the Moon" Jag comanded the skies.

The light contained in her hand intensified so much the yellow dog had to turn arround to cover his sensitive dark brown eyes. The intense, pure white glow faded and Jolt stared expectantly at his trainer. He could see she wasnt disapointed or sad, a strange confident smile spread from ear to ear, and her eyes pierced the skies. To his surprise the moon shone brighter than ever, its beams made their way through the thick folliage and they focused arround Jag. Jolt stared in fascination, "she...she is so pretty, just like an angel" he thought, a dreamy look running through his face. The girl smiled at the skies, her whole body covered with a pure white, bright aura, her hand shinning intensely, so much that you couldnt see her fingers. A silvery powder started to fall, it glittered brightly as they made their way through the trees. The sparkling powder danced in spirals like tiny stars falling from the darkened ceiling. Their number increased quickly and a large amount of glittering rain shaped a cilindrical colum in front of the Summoner. The colum of spacely magic started to fall down like a waterfall, disappearing from the top, dispersing like sand in a sandclock. As the powder disappeared in the bright green carpet, a shape appeared behind the sparkling walls.

The creature was no bigger than Jolt, it was a small pinkish white cat with an enormously large tail half the size of an onix and as thin as a crawling plant. The end of the amazingly thin tail was a much thicker, oval part. The cat's eyes were large and a penetrating sapphire blue colour, nothing was reflected on the cat's eyes, nothing but a warm, calming light that shone deep in them. Its ears were tiny compared to the size of the large head, but they could hear a pin falling on a carpet miles away from here. The cat's forearms were tiny and four clawed fingers decorated the feline, gracefull arms. The hind  legs were larger than the front legs, but they conserved their feline gracefulness and the killer claws. Her body was slim and graceful, and like the rest of herself, covered in a very silky, thin and nearly invisible coat of pinkish white fur. She floated silently, shinning with an inner light uncomparable with anything known, she was her own star.

Jolt was completely speechless, he stared at the cat with complete surprise and fascination. His deep eyes glew with a light like when a child gets a long desire present. He blinked several times until his shaky legs decided to carry his nervous body forward, to meet the creature that had fallen from the skies. His feet moved slowly and silently feeling the moist grass soaking his pads. Thoughts zapped in his mind quicker that his thunder attack, his beliefs were mixed with his fascination for the creature. His stomach flip-flopped, curled and twisted as his nervousness increased the closer he got. He stopped less thant two feet away from the creature, and stared at it, her graceful figure reflecting in his crystaline eyes. Jolt oppened his mouth to speak but his voice had vanished, his vocal chords stood still as no air flew to vibrate them. Suddenly the creature turned arround, her large blue eyes stared into the dog's dark brown ones, and Jolt was amazed to see nothing reflected in the deepness of those blue eyes.

Jolt stared at the creatre in complete amazement, he could see the large ammount of energy that formed her surrounding her. His heart was beating faster than ever, and he was sure he would have had a heart attack already if he hadnt been a young teenager jolteon. Suddenly the floating cat smiled softly and flew down softly to his eye level, her tail wobbling behind her, dancing gracefully like an extremely thin ribbon eel swimming under the misterious depths of the ocean. She stared at Jolt who was completely frozen on his place, his thing, swift legs had suddenly turned heavy an hard like stone pillars sostaining a heavy bridge. The cat giggeled softl, a voice echoed in her throat, it was magical, something unusual, but that voice only could make any creature, no matter how depressed and sad it was, happy again, and willing to live. She stared at the pokemon once again, his spiked fur relaxed, falling over his back, and his dark eyes staring into the creatures deep blue ones, drowning in them. The cat tilted her head to one side, curiously, "hi Jolt, my loyal follower" the cat's voice echoed in the area, but her lips hadnt moved an inch, her voice was a psychical wave floating arround, like a silky cloth sailing over the winds. Jolt gulped down a lump of nerves that had formed inside his throat, arround his vocal chords, "Go...Godess, great Godess of the Moon, is that really you?" his voice was nervous, and it trembled in each word, messing the letres and making strange sounds, but his body had melted, an it was free to move again. The cat nodded "that is me Jolt, or, as humans call me, Mew, but my real name is Selenè" the cat explained calmly, but with authority. The dog smiled brightly, his fangs glittered blueish with the light emmited by the Godess' body, "I knew those humans were wrong, your name couldnt be plainly Mew" Jolt nearly yelled of joy, his voice overflowed with excitement, and excitement that reached Jag.

The trainer touched her lip softly, caressing the delicate skin back and forth. Her blue eyes stared at the dog, into his eyes wich stared at the cat as if he couldnt trust his sighting, his mind still efforting to wake up from the dream he supposed he was living in. The woman smiled softly:

-I had never seen such happiness before, i remember when my youngest cousin got her first pokemon, a small growlithe pup. I was no older than ten at the time but i remember it as clearly as if i could see it right now. Her eyes lit with a light that i hadnt seen in many years, ever since she had fallen ill, but that is something i try to push out of my mind. Her eyes were brown, not the deep brown i could observe in Jolt's eyes, it was a superficial colour, mostly like my icy blue eyes. Her eyes glittered with a light, a magical light, a light of hope and hapiness, she knew, she was just five, but she knew she was ill, gravely ill, but when she got that growthlite, a feeling on hope filled her little heart. That happiness couldnt be compared with the vision here, Jolt glew, but not with the blueish light irradiating from the cat's body, but a new light, a strange light i couldnt describe. Jolt was radiant, perhaps his greatest wish was being able to see the godess he worshipped, perhaps he had a wish, and he could ask her now, maybe he just wanted to know if she existed. Whatever the reason of his happiness was, it didnt matter, it made me happy to see him like that.-

Selenè stared at the pokemon happily, "Jolt, i have always been by your side even if sometimes it looked like i had abandoned you, and i know you had doubts about my existence" the cat explained seriously. Suddenly Jolt lowered his head, ashamed about his thoughts, about his doubts, he had always trusted and protected with fangs and claws the existence of his Godess, but he had doubted she really did. Selenè shook her head reading the canine's thoughts, "no bad feelings, you have always put great hope on me, but you must understand i cant just appear like that to anyone, it is not as easy as it seems, but there is a method" Selenè explained, suddenly her eyes focused on the girl, who grabbed the stone firmly, as if it would disappear. Jolt stared at Jag, his eyes wide in shock, "you mean you..." he started speaking in a shaky voice, but was cut off suddenly by the psychical voice of his beloved godess. Selenè nodded, "exactly, only Summoners can open the gates that separate the Spiritual Dimension from the Real World. The art of summoning is very antique, older than history. There was a small country no larger than New City, wich's inhabitants were all Summoners. The name of this country was "Pozivnad". It's inhabitants were able to call the spirits of nature to help them, so the country was proliferous. They had food, clean water, their plants grew well and they could even have a few of the most desired items for the rich, like oil and wine. But the envious humans wich desired power, with the help of a few dark sorcerers and sorceresses from "Madjija" swore war to the country. They wanted to destroy it to get their secret of life. Mesena and Sunce, the noble queen and king of the country, explained that their secret was no more than one of the abilities learnt from their ancestors, like the Magical People, but humans wouldnt listen. The warriors of Pozivnad summoned all their gods and godesses to help them win, but the human armies allied with the Magical People that lived in the dark, were too strong. In three full moons there was no rest, for neither warriors nor gods and godesses, three nights that became day from the lighs that flew from one side to another. On the end Pozivnad was completely destroyed, many summoners were lost, Mesena and Sunce were killed, and the few summoners that remanined alive escaped from the continent and hid under a human identity, loosing their traditions and their ability to summon. The place where the battle took place is now a desert, dried with the blood that poured from the battle. I was there, i left the last, and i have always asked myself, "why the battle?" every human was killed, only two dark sorceresses remained alive, but their powers exausted forever, and a whole coutry, a whole culture was lost, nobody won. The humans remained in ignorancy and the summoners were lost." Selenè finished taking a deep saddened breath.

Jolt stared at the cat in fascination, his mind still trying to analize the story that had been told, it sounded like a fairy tale to him, a land of kingdoms, the kingdom of Summoners, the kingdom of Wizards and the kingdom of Humans. Jolt looked at the cat and then at the human, she grabbed the crystal so tighter it seemed as if powder would pour down when she oppened the hand. Jolt's eyes looked at the cat once more, "so Jag is a Summoner?" Jolt asked, his voice shaky and his throat making a great effort to spit out the words. Selenè nodded solemly, "yes, she is descendant from the great Summoners of Pozivnad" her silent voice echoed in the area. Jolt stared at the tightly clenched hand, his eyes analized it for a second as he could see the distinct glow of the Summoner's Stone escaping the girl's hand. His gaze moved back to the moon creature, "what about the crystal?" Jolt asked proffesionally. Selenè stared at the moon for a second, "they crystal, the crystal is not necesary, but it helps the Summoner in a begginer stage canalize the energy, anyways the Summoner's Stone has become a distinct mark of the race and culture between the people of Pozivnad" Selenè explaned clearly, but her mind seemed to have floated to the beggining of times.

Jag was completely speechless, she had always known there was a special power in her, but she had believed more the witch tale. It turned out she was descendant from an antique race of magicians, a race nobody new about except in fairy tales, like Shara. The trainer walked a step front, she worked up her courage to ask a question to the godess, she had summoned her after all so she presumed it wouldnt bother her much. Selenè turned arround and stared at the summoner, firm and straight up as if waiting for orders, "Me...i mean Selenè, have Summoners gotten the ability to speak to pokemon?" she asked slowly and clearly, this seemed to bother the godess since she was not a foreinger from a strange country. Selenè nodded slowly, "yes Summoner, all Summoners have, indeed, the ability to speak to the creatures of nature" she explained, her pychical voice sounded proffessionally mature.

The creature suddenly turned to focus the now much more calm but still over excited dog. She smiled at him sweetly, "well Jolt, i didnt come here to explain the story of Summoners, i came here because you have a question, and i have an answer" Selenè told the dog, whose eyes oppened wide with fear and surprise. Selenè winked at the creature and then floated up avobe a human's head, as high as an adult girafarig. She closed her eyes and concentrated profoundly, her tiny arms and long legs were oppened wide and her chest was being pushed out. Her tail curved behind her like the arch on a very old, stone bridge. A blue flame wrapped her, it danced arround her thin, graceful body with the fury of a dragon. The flame shone with energy, it wasnt fire, it just rippled like fire, but the energy that formed it was the purest, strongest psychical energy ever existent in the world. The flame started to wrap Jolt as well, his eyes stared arround himself in fascination as he started to float off the ground and the flame started to eat him slowly. The blueish light started to glow brighter each time, it started to beat like a heart and evey time it beated, it intesified. The light had brightened so much it was just a blueish star the size of a rolled up dolphin. Beams of bright white light escaped the star and the beating continued rithmically. Jag was horrorized but the brightness of the light was too much to hold, and her icy blue eyes started to hurt painfully from the intensiy of the magic. She jumped on the floor oposite from the source of light, and covered her eyes with her hands.

Tears dropped from her eyes as a waving sound echoed in the forest, a gentle gust of wind flew past her, carrying an icy cold feeling from the area where the strange actions and magic were ocurring. She sighed deeply but her words were drowned in the collection of wavings and shrieks, "Jolt, my lovely Jolt, Selenè was supposed to be a good godess, Jolt..." she repeated over and over, calling him as if trying to summon him. Suddenly everything was silent, the breeze had camed down, the light had faded and no more waves and shriekes were heard. The crickets had started singing again and the flapping sound of a pair of wings moving the air swarmed over the skies. Jag feared turning arround, she feared what she would find, sh feared finding Jolt dead, or maybe not finding him at all, perhaps just  a heap of bones, whatever she would find, she feared her partner's disappearance. Jag knew she couldnt stay there forever in await for a sing that showed her Jolt was alive, she had to find out and she knew sooner or later she would find out, so it was better to just get through this.

To be continued...
