I was stunned. I had never considered that question before. Did I want to leave my family, which was what I had known ever since I was born? Or did I want to leave with this..Pokemon trainer and be her Pokemon? I shuddered at the fact that I would lose my freedom, lose what I had known for my entire life until now. But, then, I remembered that my mother had told Twilight and me that we would have to leave and find a trainer soon. This was just something that would happen sooner or later. Besides, Kris was a good trainer, one that was probably quite hard to come across if we went wandering around some town or the other. I made up my mind.
"We'll go with you."
"What?!" Twilight exclaimed. "But why? Don't you want to go home?"
I quickly explained my reasoning as Amethyst and Kris looked on with pleased expressions.
Twilight hesitated, and then nodded. He would go with me.
"Can I ask a favour?" I asked Amethyst.
To my surprise, a different female voice sounded in my head. Ask away.
It was Kris. She winked at me, then settled down on the ground, ready to listen. I noticed that Firestar and Sparkie was gone. Inside their Pokeballs, I bet.
I stared at her with surprise. As I did, something floated through my mind. I was soft and wispy as the wind. "Eevee-Eon bond.."
Amethyst suddenly looked very pleased, like a cat who got the cream. Your Psychic abilities are starting to develop, Dawn. She grinned at me.
"Uh..huh.." I said, confused. "Kris can understand me?"
"Yeah." Kris spoke, this time not inside my mind. "If I've been with you for some time, which I have." She too, was grinning, and I was struck by the similarity between Amethyst and Kris. "So, what's the favour?"
"Uh..Can you allow us some time to tell our families about this?" I asked finally, hopefully.
"Sure," Amethyst and Kris chorused, then looked at each other and laughed. I realized that both of them had a very loving bond with one another, and also that this was the first time I ever heard Amethyst's real, speaking voice. It was a very beautiful, bell-like sound, with a lilting melody to it, even if it was only one word. I opened my mouth to say so, but Twilight beat me to it.
"Miss-," he caught himself. "Am-Amethyst, you have a-a very beautiful voice," he stammered, blushing lightly.
"Thank you," Amethyst said, smiling.
I noticed the blush. Twilight has never blushed before, unless I was mistaken. Suddenly, I grinned. I knew why.
Seeing Kris, I saw that she, too, was grinning. We grinned at each other until Amethyst noticed.
What are you two grinning about? She asked suspiciously. Aren't you and Twilight supposed to go tell your families now?
"Oh yes. We'll be back as soon as possible." Hastily, I pulled Twilight and hurried off through the trees.
We found our home tree in almost no time at all. The scent of mother, Aqua, and Amber led us to it. They must have been searching for us, worried sick. I noticed that Zapp's scent was conspicuously absent.
We slipped into the tree and started climbing. Halfway up, we met Aqua and Amber coming down.
"Dawn!! Twilight!!" Aqua shrieked, then both of them threw themselves at us.
"Can't-breathe.." I gasped as Amber hugged me tightly. I hadn't known that they liked us so much. "Air.." I gurgled as Amber tightened her grip, crying tears of what looked like joy. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Twilight was getting the same treatment from Aqua. Amber finally let go, and I lay down, panting, breathing the glorious air, which had been cut off for a long moment. I hadn't known that coming back would be so life threatening.
I saw mother approaching us at what seemed to be the speed of light, and before we knew it, we were swept up in another life threatening hug. I was turning blue before mother let us go. I flopped onto the floor, breathing the familiar woody smell, and stayed there while Amber, Aqua and mother chattered joyously.
When I got back enough air to speak, I croaked out what had happened. "...So, since we have to go soon because we're almost two and a half years old, we decided to go now with a good trainer instead of later, with the chance of having a bad trainer." I finished. Nervously, I looked up, to see my mother face full of pride, sadness and joy.
"I knew Amethyst," mother whispered. "Although I was two years older than her and she was only one when she disappeared. A very beautiful Eevee she was, but also very cautious. If she says that this Kris is a good trainer, I believe her. After all these years, I can't believe she would show up again. I think that both of you are in good hands. Go, with my blessings."
I was stunned. My mother knew Amethyst!! Then this was a godsend.
"But, I have one condition." mother said, eyes twinkling.
"What is it?" I asked worriedly.
"Take me with you when you go back. I want to meet Amethyst!! Of course, I won't follow both of you and this Kris, but I just want to meet her."
"Sure!!" I replied, relieved. I thought that she was going to force me to eat leaves everyday. They were my least favourite food. (Eevees are to leaves as humans are to vegetables ^^ I hate vegetables. ) "Let's go!!"
I led my mother to the clearing where Kris and Amethyst were waiting. Aqua and Amber had stayed in the tree, too afraid to come along. With a squeal, my usually calm mother dashed into the clearing. "Amethyst!!"
The slender Espeon turned in surprise. Her almond shaped eyes widened, and then she ran to meet my mother. "Flareen!!"
Kris watched in astonishment. "So, Dawn," she turned to me, still on the grass. "She your mother?"
"Yup," I answered, not that wary of Kris any more. After some time watching Amethyst and my mother frolicking and chattering on the grass like two Eevee pups, they disentangled themselves. Mother sort of bowed to Kris from a safe distance, lowering herself on the two front legs. With a shout of "Good luck and safe journey, Dawn, Twilight, Amethyst and Kris!! Come and visit any time!!" she disappeared back into the forest. As she did, I saw glittering tears fall from her eyes.
"Bye, mother!!" Twilight and me shouted after her. "We'll visit when we can!!" As tears welled up in my eyes, I flicked them away with a paw, knowing that we WOULD come back one day. An answering spark of harmless flame danced through the trees.
"Well," Kris said, standing up and brushing off bits of leaves and grass. "Let's go!!"
We trotted after her, full of energy, to start our new lives as her Pokemon.
~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~
In a tree overlooking the clearing, the dark shadow stood up, stretching its four slender legs. Aqua eyes watching Kris, Amethyst, Dawn and Twilight leave, it murmured softly, "Good luck." and disappeared in a rustle of leaves.
~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~
Well, how was that? '. Heehee, what is that mysterious shadow? =P This is the end. Of this fic anyway. ^^ This is actually a sort of prequel to another fic, which describes Kris's journey. It's not up yet, but look out for it!! ^^ It'll pick up from here, when Dawn and Twilight join Kris. I think the title might be 'The Crystal Journey: Johto' or something like that. Watch out for it!! Remember to review!!
