Emerald Destiny
A/N: Thanks for all your reviews!! o^___________^o This is my record number of reviews so far, and I hope it'll get higher!! ^_~ Though I can't get any higher; I'm currently orbiting the Pokemon world because I jumped too high on Lccorp2's trampoline... ;_;

Chapter 7
ܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤ
Kris slowly took the Ice and Leaf Balls from her belt, building the suspense until Lionel couldn't take it any more.
"Will you release them already?!" he snapped exasperatedly, throwing up his hands.
"Yeah. Please, Kris," Carol said pleadingly. "I really wanna see them!!"
"Okay, fine," Kris replied as she threw one of the Balls down with a flick of her wrist. "I do too, you know."
To the eager onlookers, it seemed that the blue Ball floated sl-ow-ly to the ground, where it hit and released the Pokemon inside with a flash of white.
Frosteon was tinted all over with sparkling blue, seemingly coated with tiny, fur-like ice crystals that caught and reflected the sunlight, creating little rainbows all over the room. Its diamond-shaped ears were a similar to an Eevee's, except that it was the same colour as the rest of the body, its interior a darker blue. Dark blue diamond-shaped crystals adorned its neck, while a mystical looking diamond-shaped sapphire glittered on its forehead. It had a fluffy, yet icy looking tail, which waved enthusiastically, curling above its back. Its legs were as dainty as an Espeon's, and had a band of deep blue right above each paw. Its liquid aqua eyes gazed at Kris intelligently.
"Frost!! Frost!! Frosteon!!" She purred as she rubbed against her new mistress's legs. Kris had figured out that it was a female as soon as it appeared. Kris crouched down and stroked Frosteon, marveling at the soft fur, which appeared to be spiky at a distance. As she stroked her new Pokemon, Kris pulled out her Pokedex.
"Beep! Frosteon, the Deep Frost Pokemon. Evolves from Eevee when it comes into contact with an Ice Stone. First discovered by Pryce, the Ice Gym leader of Mahogany Town of the Johto League. It shoots its Ice attacks mostly from the jewel on its forehead, which is rumoured to work like the jewel on an Espeon's forehead. Jewel colour may differ from Pokemon to Pokemon, and affects the power of its Ice attacks. Sapphires indicate the strongest. Weaknesses: Fire, Fighting, Rock, Steel. Strengths: Grass, Ground, Flying, Dragon. Frost is this Pokemon's Special Attack. Not much is known about this Pokemon, as it was only very recently discovered."
{A/N: Weaknesses are what it is weak against (takes double or quadruple damage), strengths are what it's type damages most (double or quadruple damage to that particular type). Special Attacks are attacks which are unique to that Pokemon.}
"Dexter, analyze: Ice Stone."
"Beep! Ice Stone, an evolution Stone found recently by one of Johto League's Ice Gym Leader Pryce's apprentices while training in the Ice Path. Only known Pokemon able to use it: Eevee, evolves to Frosteon."
Carol and Lionel's eyes widened in amazement; the second time that morning. Carol reached out tentatively to stroke Frosteon as well; the Pokemon purred even louder.
Amethyst and Silver approached the Ice type Eon, introducing themselves. The trainers watched as a chorus of "Frosteon"s and "Umbreon"s rang out; Amethyst was presumably communicating telepathically.
Meanwhile, Kris twirled the Leaf Ball around in her palm. Without warning, she threw it to the ground. A form condensed out of the white light. Carol and Lionel looked up quickly, as did the Eons.
Verdaneon was sturdily built, covered in long, silky, forest-green fur, streaked with lime-green, which hung down from the middle of its back to its knees. Its leaf-shaped ears were also similar to and Eevee's, but tipped with a few small, ruby-coloured flowers each. Its ears, unlike a normal Eevee or Eon's, hung down each side of its round face. Larger, pastel-pink flowers decorated its neck, and underneath each flower, a glimmering emerald could be seen. Its tail was smooth on the top, but long sea-green fur hung down from it, and thin leaves could be seen peeking from beneath the fur of its tail. Its steady amber eyes gazed at Kris with mild curiousity.
"Verdan? Verdaneon?" She inquired. The Grass-type had a warm, faintly motherly-ish tone to her voice, despite obviously being fairly young still. The other group of Eons joined her in a chorus of introductions.
Kris pointed the Pokedex to Verdaneon. "Dexter, analyze."
"Bleep! Verdaneon, the Long Grass Pokemon. Evolves from a female Eevee when in contact with both sunlight and a Leaf Stone. No male Eevees have been known to be able to evolve into this highly advanced form. Its tail can be curled into a tight, spiky ball, from which it shoots its Special Attack. The emeralds under the flowers on its neck are rumoured to extend into Vine Whip, similar to the Grass Pokemon Chikorita. Weaknesses: Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison. Strengths: Water, Ground, Rock. Leaf Missile is its Special Attack, similar to a Jolteon's Pin Missile. A seemingly very motherly Pokemon, and a steady companion."
This time, even the apparently reclusive Lionel petted the Eons. Kris wanted to play with them a bit and get to know them more, but a crowd was forming slowly, but surely, around them. She quickly recalled the Ice and Grass type evolutions, and wriggled her way through the group, with Amethyst, Carol, Lionel and Silver following behind.
After searching for some time, they finally found the place where they had slept for the night. Kris slung her bag across her shoulder and quickly exited the Center in high spirits.
"C'mon, guys!! I want to get to the Gym!!" she called excitedly as she ran through the early morning shoppers. Within a few seconds, though, she stopped short. Carol and Lionel caught up with her.
"What's wrong?" Carol asked, a frown creasing her brow.
"I forgot," Kris groaned, slapping her forehead. "I used up all my Potions in the forest, healing my Pokemon after the battle with Lionel. I'm not about to face any trainer, let alone a Gym Leader, without any supplies."
"Well," Carol pointed out. "Goldenrod IS famous for its huge Department Store. Why don't we go and see what's on sale there?"
"Okay!!" Kris brightened up quickly, remembering the huge selection that was sold in the Goldenrod Department Store. She had visited it a few years back, and was awed by the variety of items sold there. Maybe it'll be even bigger now, she mused.
They threaded their way through the rapidly increasing flurry of activity around them. Morning sunlight glittered off the windows of a tall building some distance to the right of them, nearly blinding Kris, who accidentally looked straight at it. As she rubbed her painful eyes, she heard a small sound next to her, which was evidently a snicker. She glared at her lavender Pokemon, silently threatening to put Amethyst inside a Pokeball, which shut the Espeon up immediately.
As they stopped at a booth selling pancakes to buy their breakfast, Kris noticed that Lionel was reluctant about something. He seemed nervous, shifting his feet uneasily as he paid for his food. Glancing at Silver, who looked perfectly comfortable with the surroundings, she shrugged and walked on.
As Carol led the way, Kris looked around. There were Pokemon battles in alleyways, booths with salesmen loudly proclaiming their ware, and the simple diversity of people in the crowd. She thought she saw a few boys pointing and sniggering at Lionel, but was quickly blocked by the ever- moving throng. As they approached the tall building that had blinded her just a few minutes ago, she noted that it was seven stories high. That meant that it wasn't the Department Store; if she remembered correctly, it was only four stories high the last time she was here.
She was surprised when Carol stopped in front of the building. "Aren't we going to the Department Store?" Kris asked in some confusion.
"This IS the Department Store," Lionel spoke up for the first time since they left the Pokemon Center.
Kris stared. People flocked in and out through the gilded double doors. Well, it certainly HAS gotten bigger, she thought somewhat dazedly. I wonder how we're gonna get in without being squeezed to a pulp or stepped into a piece of paper.
"Earth to Kris!!" Carol waved her hand in front of the blue haired girl's face, snapping her out of her trance.
"This way," Lionel beckoned to them. He led them to an alley at the side of the building, Silver trotting in front of him, his tail held jauntily high. Soon, they came to a door labeled, "Personnel Only". Lionel produced a key and unlocked it, then Silver pushed it open with his nose and held it there; obviously this was a well-known routine.
"Huh?" Carol said, bewildered.
"Huh?" Kris echoed.
Lionel gave a small smile, the first one either girls had seen. "Well," he commented with the air of a Pokemon trainer pointing out a flock of Pidgeys, "There ARE privileges to having a mother that works here, I suppose." He indicated the door. "Well? Going in or not?"
Kris and Carol hurried through the door, and watched as the Umbreon let the door close with a click and a whirr of mechanism; this door probably locked itself automatically as soon as it was closed.
"Come on," he said, waving them down the silent and empty corridor. He opened another door some way down, letting the noise of many people filter through it. As the girls emerged from the silence of the corridor, the noise seemed overwhelming. People milled around like busy Ledybas during summer. They were on some kind of pathway that overlooked the first floor of the Department Store. He led them to a lift, and then pressed the button for the 6th floor. As they rumbled up through the floors, Kris spoke up.
"Which floor does your mother work on?" she asked curiously. Amethyst and Silver were conversing quietly in a corner.
"5th floor. She works as the TM giver on Sundays, and helps with selling TMs on other days." The lift made a 'ping' sound, and the doors slid open smoothly. There weren't many people around here, only a few trainers, who chatted while sitting around small tables scattered around the place or had battles in the corners, which seemed made for it.
{Note: This fic is mostly set in the Crystal version of the game.^_^ The best version, I say!! ^_~}
"If your mother works on the 5th floor, then why are we on the 6th?" Carol wanted to know.
Lionel gestured towards the vending machines in the corner. "You came here for healing supplies, didn't you?"
Kris and Carol nodded simultaneously, both looking at the vending machines inquiringly.
"Those vending machines sell drinks, which heal Pokemon as well, for a fairly low price. Much better value than Potions." He walked over to the machines, with the two girls tagging behind, and pointed out the different drinks, how much they heal, and the prices. "You see, Fresh Water heals 50 HP, and costs only $200, Soda Pop heals 60 HP, and costs $300, while Lemonade heals 80 HP, and costs $350." He shrugged. "As a rule, I buy only Fresh Water and Lemonade. I don't think Soda Pop's worth it." {That's what I think, anyway. ^__^}
"Hmm," Kris mused as she and Carol crouched down in front of a vending machine each. Kris inserted some coins, pushed the Fresh Water button, and the 'Quantity: 5' button. A clattering noise made her push open the plastic flap, revealing 5 small, blue cans which would, she thought, fit easily inside her small bag.
A clattering noise to her right made her look up. Carol was holding 5 small yellow cans.
"What's that?" Kris asked the chestnut-haired girl.
"Lemonade, I think," Carol replied, unzipping a side compartment in her bag and putting the cans in. "I'm going to buy some more."
"Me too," Kris turned back to her vending machine and bought 10 more Fresh Water, and 10 Lemonade. To her surprise, the cans took up only a small space in her bag. "Well," she remarked, zipping her bag. "It sure is convenient, anyhow. Come on, let's go downstairs. I wanna take a look at the TMs they sell here." She jogged down the stairs with Carol and Lionel behind.
As they emerged onto the fifth floor, which was very similar to the previous floor they were on except for a counter, a dark blue haired girl looked from where she was grooming her Pichu. She immediately jumped to her feet, her Pichu hopping swiftly onto her shoulder. She was wearing a black T-shirt with a star edged with glitter on the front and jeans that were torn at the knees, and her hair, cut in a boyish style, was so blue that it looked black. Her stormy grey eyes looked over them in interest.
"Long time no see, cousin," she said quietly, looking at Lionel. Kris and Carol turned around to do the same.
"Yeah," Lionel muttered.
"Pichu, pi pi pi pichu pi?" the Pichu on her shoulder chirped. "He wants to know who they are," the girl translated, turning to Kris and Carol. "Hi," she said with a friendly smile. "I'm Sari Waters, Lionel's cousin, as you may have figured out by now."
"I'm Kris Star, and this is Amethyst." The blue-haired girl indicated the Espeon at her side.
"And I'm Carolyn Wood, but you can call me Carol."
"Nice to meet you," Sari said pleasantly, extending a hand, which both girls shook. "Now," she continued, turning to Lionel. "How about a battle?"

Sorry I took so long to get this up. I know I promised to post this up either yesterday or the day before, but I had a bit of writer's block. -_- Plus the exams are next week, and I haven't studied. _ Ack. Well, remember to read and review!! ^ _____^

"Dexter, analyze: Ice Stone."
