Eevee, Espeon

A/N: Hey everyone!! Sigh.I've got an oral exam tomorrow!! On a SATURDAY!! WHY?!?!? Hmm.I'll have to get my sister to tape Pokemon. =DSorry it took so long for this chapter to come out. Hmm.I thought that the past few Pokemon episodes weren't bad (I don't mean that they are normally bad). Anyways, here's the next chapter!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon *sigh* But I own this fic. =)

Note: Sorry if my paragraphing is wonky. ^^;;

Chapter 4

Key: .= Mind-speech/thought-speech

With a yelp, I pulled my head back in. Suddenly, I heard a voice, this time not in my head.

"What's that, Amethyst?" I heard a new, audible and obviously feminine voice say from outside. "Are they awake?"

Yes, said the soft voice in my head, whom I presumed was Amethyst. They are both awake, Kris.

"Why don't you go in and introduce yourself?" The other voice (whom I presumed was Kris) suggested. "I don't think they had ever seen humans before, so I'll stay here until you've got them calmed down. Oh yes, better use your Flash when you go in. I bet that it's awfully dark in there."

I gasped. Kris was a human!! And Amethyst was coming in here!! I shrunk back, together with Twilight, who also realized the same thing.

There was a flash of pale purple light outside, and the flap of the material slowly opened inwards. Twilight and I cowered at the back. To our immense surprise and relief, instead of seeing a monster appear, we saw a graceful, slender Espeon padding softly in. She (I knew that she was a she at the start, when she first spoke) was glowing a pale purple, which lit up the darkness.

Hello, she said liltingly. I'm Amethyst. What are your names, little ones?"

"I-I'm Dawn," I stammered. "T-this is Twilight." Twilight nodded mutely.

She smiled. Those are good names. I can see what you will evolve into, and those names fit your evolutions. Putting her head to one side, she said, Both of you are wild, am I right?

We nodded.

Have you seen humans before?

"N-no," Twilight stammered. I shuddered.

Ah, I see, she smiled kindly. You've been taught to fear humans. Not all humans are bad, just like not all Pokemon are bad. My mistress is one of the good ones. She found both of you under a tree (I presume it was your home tree?) and brought you here. You need not fear her. Do you want to meet her? Or would you prefer to meet her in the morning?

I looked at Twilight, who nodded. "In the morning, please, Miss Amethyst, if it doesn't trouble you."

Not at all,she replied. Please call me Amethyst. I look forward to being your friend and hopefully, traveling companion. Have a good night's rest. Good night. With that, she got up lithely and padded through the 'door'.

The purple glow, to my surprise, did not go with her. Instead, it became slightly smaller, swooped up and hovered at the top of the place we were in, glowing softly. I rolled over and gazed dreamily at the glowing orb, and vaguely, I wondered what she had meant by 'traveling companion'. In no time at all, I was asleep.

The next day.

I woke to the sound of Pidgeys chirping melodiously, and Spearows squawking not so melodiously. Yawning, I stood up and stretched. Looking around groggily, I realized that this was definitely NOT the tree. Yesterday night's events came flooding into my mind. I looked up and realized that the glowing purple orb was gone. Glancing over, I saw that Twilight was still asleep, which was typical of him. He hated mornings (for some reason I could not fathom; I loved mornings, especially morning smells). I breathed in deeply and smelled.nothing much. I looked around in bafflement, and realized that the material which surrounded us probably let in some light and little else. Nudging Twilight and getting no response other than a grunt and a muffled "go away", I poked my head cautiously through the flap.

Good morning, Dawn, said Amethyst pleasantly. Slept well? She was sitting just outside the doorway, and was obviously pleased to see me.

I nodded, and went outside to sit beside her. No one else seemed to be awake yet, and for that I was grateful. I wanted to put off meeting this human 'Kris' for as long as possible.

Kris won't hurt you, said Amethyst in amusement. She really is nice, as humans go.

I jerked in alarm. Amethyst could read minds!!

Yes, I indeed can read minds. I'm what humans call a Psychic type.

"Psychic type.so it means that you're psychic?" I murmured thoughtfully.

Yes, indeed. So will you be, when you have grown up.

"I will?" I asked in interest. "Will I grow up to be an Espeon?"

Yes. Even now you are unconsciously preparing for your evolution. Amethyst replied. You are slenderer than most normal Eevees, and your ears point upwards at the tip. A tuft of fur is beginning to grow beneath your ears, like mine, and the end of your tail is a bit forked. She twitched her ears and flicked her tail gently.

"I'm glad that I'll grow up to look like you, Amethyst. I think that you're beautiful." I said shyly.

Thank you. she smiled. I have been complimented so, but I think that I look like any other Espeon in the world.

Suddenly, the flap opened and Twilight stumbled out, yawning hugely. "Good morning, Dawn, Miss Amethyst." he greeted blearily.

I would prefer to be called Amethyst, Amethyst chided gently. I am not very much older than both of you.

"How old are you?" I asked interestedly. Twilight looked at me in shock. "I know that it's a bit rude," I apologized hastily. "But I hope you won't mind, Amethyst."

I do not mind. Amethyst said good-naturedly. I do not think that one's age is embarrassing. I am only three and a half years old.

"That's pretty young," I said in astonishment. Twilight's face reflected my voice.

Kris is a loving trainer. Amethyst said. I responded naturally to her love, and thus evolved into my present form. My other friends also appreciate her kind nature.

Before I could ask who her other friends were, her ears twitched.

Kris is awake, she announced. She walked lightly across the clearing to the other pyramid shaped thing and pushed her head through the flap. Rise and shine, Kris. I heard her 'say'. A grumbling murmur met my ears. Retreating halfway through the flap with Twilight, we watched the other thing warily.

Amethyst withdrew her head, holding two small red and white spheres in her mouth. Walking over to a small circle of stones and pebbles in the middle of the clearing, she put them down. Come and meet my friends, she invited while nudging a white button on each of the three spheres, making them grow bigger.

Cautiously, we padded over to her with our eyes still on the pyramid thing.

Do not worry, she said, looking at us in amusement. She still wants to sleep. She says that she will only come when we are done with the introductions.

We relaxed slightly. Amethyst smiled, and touched her nose to the button of the sphere closest to her. The sphere opened and a bright light flashed out. Twilight and I jumped back in considerable alarm. The bright light condensed into the form of a Pokemon.



You'll have to wait till the next chapter for the identity of those two Pokemon!! *grins evilly* Well, I've neglected my other fic while writing this chapter, so I'll take a break from this one to write a chapter for the other. Please read n review!! Thanks!!
