Remember!:
You really should read the ending A/N! And you should also head on over to "TAA Special: What To Give A Dragon"! It explains more after the end of this story and also has a little note at the bottom to tell you what to look for next. Each one of the Special Editions to follow will have that, so be sure and watch for it!

The phone was ringing off the hook on the table in the one sitting room. It was being ignored, even though Lance and Eevy were both right there. She had her head rested in his lap and they were both reading, completely oblivious to the importance of the phone call. Eevy finally started to get a bit on the agitated side and stood up. She stomped over to the phone and picked it up, not exactly answering cheerily.

"Hello," she puffed slightly, "Champion Mistress Evangelina speaking. Hello, Nurse Joy. You did? Do you know what it is or who it belongs to? No. We don't know. Sure. We'll come look at it. See you soon," she hung up and tilted her head, "That's strange…"

"What is?" Lance caught her attention from beside her.

"Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny found a Poke'Egg up by the bridge. They don't know who it belongs to, where it came from or even what it is. She wants us to take a look at it."

"If we have to," he yawned and stretched, forcing himself to a stand.

*^~^**^~^*

"This is it?" Medira tilted her head at it, "It's…ugly."

"It's definitely not an Eevee egg," Eevy shook her head.

"How do you know?" Luri looked at her blankly.

"I…have experience," she grinned wide, "But Medira's right. It is ugly."

"Purple and green…" Lance mused, "Sounds like something you'd wear, Will."

"Oh, very funny," Will fumed, "Maybe it's a Psychic- type. The colors look that way."

"I'll bet it's a Grass- type!" Ash shoved him aside, "It was in the grass!"

"It's got to be a Poison- type!" Sooney pushed him back, "Purple and green look like Poison Gas and Acid!"

"No! It's a Ground- type!" Yuu-Yuu lunged forward, "It was on the ground!"

"Maybe it's a Flying- type!" Skiff cried from the back, "It fell from a tree!"

"It's a Water- type!" Misty called, "It was right near the river!"

"Well, maybe it's an Ice- type!" Luri chimed in, "It came up from the Ice Caves through the river!"

"It's a Dark- type, I bet!" Medira shrieked happily, "It came from that creepy forest!"

"Maybe it's a Ghost- type then!" Morty plowed forward, "If it came from those dreary woods!"

"Maybe it's a Dragon- type from the Pompon Sea!" Lance was way too hopeful, "It came up from the river!"

"It's a Rock- type!" Brock pushed in, "From the caves under the waterfall!"

"Maybe it's a Fighting- type!" Eusine jumped, "It came from the other side of the river!"

"Maybe it's a really rare Pokemon!" Tracey waved his sketch pad above his head, "The colors are just a warning to be extra careful with it!"

"Maybe it's an Alternate Color Pokemon!" Jason spazzed, "That's why the egg's so weird!"

Everyone started screaming at each other while Will and Nurse Joy completely ignored them. Will reached out and touched the egg just enough to turn it. By doing so, he gave it all the contact it needed to hatch.

"It's hatching!" Nurse Joy called happily.

"Let me in!" Eevy started shoving forward, "It'll imprint whoever it sees first!"

"Let me in there then!" Medira tried pushing her away, "I've never had a Pokemon egg before!"

"Precisely why I should get it! You don't have any experience!" she pushed back, "I have!"

"Cat fight," Lance and Jason moaned.

"I saw it first!"

"You did not! I did!"

Again, Will ignored this, as the egg started breaking open. It cracked and crumbled as he was standing right in front of it. Everyone, including Eevy and Medira, stopped dead as Will jumped back. The egg lit up bright white, immediately causing the identity to click in Eevy's mind.

"Celebi," she stopped pushing on Medira, causing her to flop to the ground behind her, "Celebi was put back inside the egg after giving all her energy to turn back time for us."

"Bi," an oddly human voice flowed slowly through the room, "Ah. The Elite."

"Woah!" everyone stepped away, "It talks!"

"Yes, I talk. I am as the Legendary Beasts."

"You know of the Beasts?" Eevy inched forward.

"I know much," Celebi smiled while hovering in front of her, "About you and everyone you know. I have spoken to Raikou. To Entei. To Suicune. Even to the Birds and to Lugia and Mew. We share many things. You are very special to us. All of you are. You were chosen, years before you were even born, to be where you are today. You may not know it, but you are all very important to all we Legends. We care more for you than we do for ourselves. The abilities you have will grow as you do and will never fail you. As it has been said, the more trust you put in us, the more accurate our predictions will be. My Elite, you are my pride and joy. I love my trees, but I love you more. I must be departing now; returning to the trees. But I have something for you, young Mistress of Eevolution."

Eevy's eyes flew side to side, "Who? Me?" she pointed to herself.

"Yes, you. Take this," a bright white light flashed in Celebi's hand, "It is the Crystal Key. Take it and guard it as the Crystal Bell. It's not nearly as powerful, but will serve for something in the future. I will always be watching you. We will always be watching you. There is much in your future, but you mustn't forget your past. You cannot undo what has been done, but you can always make the best of things. You're what we live for. Don't let us down. I'll be in the heart of Spectral Spirit Woods. If you ever need me, raise the Key. The words will come," she faded slowly away, "Good bye, Masters and Mistresses."

"It's pretty," Eevy held the Crystal Key up to the light, "Just like the Crystal Bell."

"Wonder what she meant by it 'will serve for something in the future'," Lance tilted his head.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see," Eevy put the Key in her pocket.

*^~^**^~^*

"Hey," Eusine looked over his shoulder at Morty, "Have you seen Mizu?"

"No. Have you seen Lisle?" Morty answered his question with a half question of his own.

"No. That's a bad, bad sign," he shook his head, "They're probably planning something against us."

"Probably," Morty couldn't help but laugh.

Mizu suddenly came flying in the door. She slid to a stop, spotted Eusine and bounded forward. Lisle ran in a bit after her, yelling to be careful, but she ignored her and latched onto Eusine. Morty jumped out from behind him to avoid getting stepped on when Eusine tripped back a few steps. Mizu threw her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist and squeezed as hard as she could.

"What'd I do?! What'd I do?!" Eusine gagged, "Why are you cutting off my air supply?!"

"I'm sorry!" she stood but left her arms around his neck, "I just love you!"

Morty lost all intelligence on his face, "OK. A week ago you wanted us dead. What goes?"

Mizu looked back at him and then right back to Eusine, grabbing his chin in her left hand while leaving her right arm around his shoulders, "Do you have any idea how much I love you?" she shrieked happily as she squeezed his chin, causing him to wear the oddest of facial expressions.

"Well…If the love you have for me is equal to the pain you just caused me…" he answered sarcastically, "A whole hell of a lot."

"Very funny," she slid her hands around his shoulders and up to his chin, "Eusine. Listen closely and don't spazz on me," Eusine stared dead blankly, "Eusine. You're going to be a daddy."

He suddenly went very pale, "What?" he twitched, white in the face.

Morty was laughing hysterically, "Congratulations, man!" he fell over backwards, falling over the arm of a chair and into it, kicking around, but suddenly froze, "You're not, are you?"

"Not so far," Lisle snickered, "Someday maybe."

"Eusine?" Mizu looked him over, "Are you all right?"

"Hehe…Yep," he swallowed and nodded stiffly, "I'm just ducky."

"Are you sure?" she let go of his neck and pulled his collar to keep him standing.

"Hell yes!" he suddenly burst and snatched her, "Let's go tell Eevy!"

Lisle and Morty stepped away as he dragged her out the door, "Hey! Not so fast!" Mizu cried as Eusine just kept going.

"Poor Eusine," Lisle shook her head slowly.

"Poor Eusine? Poor Mizu," Morty snickered evilly, "At least it's not poor you and poor me."

Lisle put on a nasty grin, "No, but we could make it so it is," she looked at him with narrowed, sneaky eyes.

"Don't you dare!" he stepped back quickly, "No, Lisle! No!" he started running backwards before she crossed her arms around his neck and pushed him into a chair, pulling out his hair band and kissing his throat, "No! No, don't! Woah!"

*^~^**^~^*

"That's so great!" Eevy burst with a shriek of delight, "Mizu! I love you!" she latched on to Mizu, "Congratulations!"

"If you don't stop choking me, I won't live to have the baby!" Mizu gagged and Eevy immediately let go.

"Whatever happened to you'd never share a bed with her?" Skiff smiled evilly at Eusine.

A wide, nervous grin swept across Eusine's face, "Once," he snickered, "Only once."

Mizu looked over to the corner of the room, "I'm sorry, Luri. I didn't-"

"Don't worry about it," Luri looked to the floor, "I'm happy for you, really I am, but…"

"It's all right, Luri," Will ran his hand around her back.

Mizu dug into her pocket, "Here, Luri. This is for you," she held out a necklace.

"What's this?" Luri looked at it blankly.

"That's a piece of Sunami Nai's Wartortle," Mizu snickered, "I got it at Eevy's Gym match there in Daffodil."

"I remember that," Eevy nodded…

"Hello there!" a girl with long blue hair called to them, "Are you…" she pulled out her battle chart, "Evangelina from Rose Town?"

"That's me!" Eevy shouted.

"OK then! Let's start!" she then spotted Mizu, "I thought I told you to get out!"

"She is out!" Eevy shouted, "She came with us! If you don't like it, tough!"

"Don't we have attitude?" the girl shouted, "I'm Sunami, by the way."

"I know who you are. How do you battle?" Eevy asked.

"Water Joust."

Medira and the girls had been waiting on nice dry land as Eevy stayed under the water, battling with Sunami Nai, Mistress of the Blue Badge in Daffodil City. Medira's nice dry land didn't stay dry at all as Novo slammed Wartortle from below, popping him up into the air, out of the water. The entire group was soaked as the Wartortle pulled itself back inside his shell before he hit the ground. As he hit, a chip of his shell blew off and skimmed across the dock towards Mizu's foot. She picked it up and examined it before sticking it in her pocket. The Wartortle emerged from his shell and dove back in and the battle commenced again…

"That was a wicked battle," Eevy laughed, "Made me realize it is possible to sweat underwater."

"Made me realize how good you look in a bathing suit," Lance got a slight punch in the gut for that.

"Thank you, Mizu," Luri immediately put it on, "I'll keep it as long as I'm able."

"Good," Mizu nodded.

"A certainly hope I don't lose it," Luri pulled the shell up and looked at it, "It's awfully pretty."

"As long as we're on the subject," Eevy jumped in, "What was the first Gym match you guys saw me in?"

"In Lily City against Jenna," Lance would remember that until the very end of time if he could, "When Novo first evolved…

"First, I'd like to say something," Jenna Verdant, Mistress of the Green Badge in Lily City, stood across from Eevy, "I use Poison Pokemon, and I don't care for other types. So, if I hurt one of your precious Water or Electric- types, don't whine, I won't care."

"People like you disgust me!" Eevy growled, "You don't understand the feelings of Pokemon! You care only for winning! My Pokemon and I are a team, not a set of bandits and I cherish every moment I spend with them. Both in and out of battle!"

"Whatever!" Jenna shouted, "Let's get to it…

"Do you remember when we first met Medira at the Gladiola River?" Sooney asked with a grin…

"Hi," the new girl said, "Stay here, Flamedance," she whispered to her Rapidash.

"Uh…Hi," Eevy waved nervously.

"You're have problems crossing the river, aren't you?" the girl asked.

"Well…" Yuu-Yuu said, "You could say that, yeah."

"I'll help you," the stranger said, "Get out there! Wind Dance!"

A huge gust of air blew from the Poke Ball as a Pidgeot appeared with a cry of glory. It was very well raised and looked pampered to the point of no return. The girl patted its back and swung herself up.

"Coming?" she asked as she slid forward on the bird.

"Hold on there," Sooney jumped, "Who are you, and where did you come from?"

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said politely, "I didn't introduce myself. I'm Medira. I come from Dogwood City."

"Medira, huh?" Morty asked as he eyed the girl from his side of the bank.

"Yeah, that's what I said," Medira said, "And that's what I meant…

"And then when you met Cain," Lance hissed, "Evil little bug…

"Uh…" Cain Tatosi, Master to the Red Badge of Dogwood City, reached into his pocket and pulled out a paper, "Oh no. You're Eevy. Short for Evangelina, aren't you?"

"Uh huh," Eevy nodded a numb reply, "I'm glad the camera guy isn't here."

Cain just stared at the ground, "I didn't know."

"Medira," Eevy turned to her, "You knew, didn't you?"

"Yep," Medira said, "but I didn't want to interrupt your fun."

"Sorry, Cain. But play time's over!" Eevy said forcefully.

"You're on!" Cain came back at her…

"He was a tough opponent with that Magcargo of his," Eevy nodded.

"Remember Shurdi? When he made you battle alone on the locked rink?" Yuu-Yuu asked…

"How many more of you jerks do I have to go through to get out of here?" Eevy asked with a hiss, "I'm quickly losing patience."

"That's good," someone said from behind her, "I like girls with hot tempers."

Eevy spun around, fists held high in defense, "Don't make me gag. If you want a battle, you high tail your sorry hide out here. Now!"

"Why, I'm sitting right before you, my dear Evangelina of Rose," Shurdi Snowdrift, Master of the White Badge in Tulip Town, said as the lights brightened to show him sitting in a thrown like chair at the far end of the ice rink.

"Let's go! I want my badge and I want out of this place!" Eevy shouted, not intimidated the slightest bit.

"Is that a challenge?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Just a lot!"

"Well then. One on one will suit me. I imagine anything would work for someone like you," Shurdi smirked…

"They bug me," Medira shivered, "Brice was OK though. She was really good…

"Hey!" Eevy called across the Gym to the Mistress of the Violet Badge in Lilac City as she sat playing cards, "Brice! I'm your next opponent!"

"Really? That's nice. I was getting bored with cards. This will really only bore me more, but, what the heck?" Brice Lander took a retaliating pose.

"Don't be so sure," Eevy spat, "Three on three with no time limit?"

"OK. That's fine. This should be good…

"That was when you gave me that tracking pin. Sneaky little rat," Eevy jabbed an elbow into Lance's gut.

"You didn't say that at your first Gym match in Hokubu," Lance retaliated…

Eevy shook as she approached the Gym in Blade Town, "This is my first Gym battle in Hokubu and…and…and…I want my Dragon!" she wailed.

"Ah! Stop crying! Please!" a girl about Eevy's age came out the door of the Gym, "You are upsetting the plants. They will wilt if you do not please stop."

"Sorry," Eevy sniffed, "Do you know where I can find Konohana?"

"Why, you are looking at her, dear girl. I'm Mistress Konohana Blossom. May I interest you in something? Are you here for a Pokemon battle for my Orange Badge?"

"Yes, Miss. I am."

"Please, come this way," Konohana opened the door of the Gym showing an arena that was even more floral than Erika of Celadon City's was, "Welcome to Blade Town Gym."

Eevy growled low and nastily in that tone that melted Lance to a puddle, "Well. Let's just see. Let's start the match. Three on three?"

"No. Duo Battle."

"Duo Battle?" Eevy choked, "What's that?"

"We both send out two Pokemon on the field at the same time so they have to work together. A Flower Princess doesn't only battle with correct speech, but with her Pokemon as well," she continued while enlarging a Poke'Ball in her right hand, "If you really think you can do it, I'll be more than happy to take you on…

"She was cruel," Misty fumed, "I remember you told us about your battle with Hoover…

"I'm no push-over, Surge," Eevy hissed, "Show me to the Gym Leader here and he'd better be a challenge."

"Now how do you expect to battle me when my Gym's gone up in fumes?" the one who had been talking with them said.

"You?!" Eevy flipped, "You're the Gym Leader?!"

"We can always battle out here, but my Pokemon may blow something up," he revealed himself as Hoover Surge, Master of the Yellow Badge in Slice City.

"That's what happened to the Gym. He blew it up when he was battling!" Sooney stated the unbearably obvious.

"Not battling," he laughed, "Practicing with my father here," he pointed to Lt. Surge.

"Enough!" Eevy burst, "I'll battle you here, there, anywhere as long as I get to turn you to pulp!"

"OK then, how about a four on four with the chance for a sudden death?" Hoover grinned.

"Fine then. I accept your rules," Eevy sneered right back…

"He was a jerk," Mizu puffed, "And what about Wendy? She was such a…

"Mistress Wendy! I've come for a battle to earn an Indigo Badge!" Eevy stomped to a stop in the center of the Gym.

"So you're the girl from Rose Town," a young woman said, "That's nice. And I see you've brought a whole slue of people with you. To watch your defeat?"

"To watch me win."

"Sure!" Wendy Corporeal, Mistress of the Indigo Badge in Shard City, stood up and walked over.

"I can beat you," Eevy snorted, "I beat eight other Gym Leaders, what's so special about you?"

"This is a mixed type Gym. I train both Psychic- and Ghost- types. Plus, I'm the last Gym Leader before the PMD."

"PMD?" Medira's head fell to the side.

"The Precious Metal Division," Eevy answered before Wendy continued talking.

"The PMD consists of the Silver, Gold, and Platinum Badges," she paused at Eevy's gag, "You don't think they'd put just any trainer before the PMD, do you?"

"We'll see. Shall we begin?"

"A six on six with a chance for a one Pokemon rematch."

"Fine then…

"That was when Morty fought for Lisle too," Eevy grinned, "But, do you remember Grahaem?"

"Kind of hard not to forget that moron," Jason spat, hearing a puff from Medira…

"I've come for a challenge!" Eevy shouted, again causing him to frown.

"A challenge, huh?" Chel Darkeen, sister to the Gym Leader, asked as she stood up from her chair, "Hey, Grahaem! Somebody here wants a battle!"

"I can see that, Chel," Grahaem Darkeen, Master of the Black Badge of Shrapnel City, gave her a nasty face.

"How do you battle here? What's your angle?" Eevy asked as she kept looking back on Medira who was scratching vigorously at where Grahaem had touched her before.

"Five on five battle. Best three of five wins the match," Grahaem took out a black and silver Poke'Ball, "That OK with you?"

"Fine," Eevy enunciated coldly, taking out one of her Poke'Balls…

"What happened when you battled Kestrel?" Beth asked, suddenly intent on knowing.

"That was one weird battle," Eevy murmured…

"Hi," a girl waved as she jumped off a Fearow, "Challengers?"

"Yeah," Eevy nodded, "Where's the Gym Leader?"

The girl, identified as Robin Luftar, snickered, then giggled, then laughed hysterically, "You don't know?!"

"I'm sorry," Kestrel turned, "I never did tell you. I hold the Silver Badge," his full title being told as Kestrel Luftar, Master of the first Badge of the PMD; the Silver Badge of Talon Town.

Eevy inhaled a short, quick, gagging breath, "You're just like Cain!" she burst, "You hide your identity until you think the challenger is too palsy with you to battle you! Well, guess what!" she bared her Poke'Ball, "I never quit!"

"Boy, you've got an attitude. As the first trainer of the Precious Metal Division, I accept your challenge and I will defeat you to protect the Elite! Six on Six! Are you going to ban my Crobat like everyone else?"

"No!" she surprised him, "I challenge for true abilities and one Crobat won't stop me!" she stomped forward…

"That was a wild battle," Medira nodded, "And then there was Rei and Ray…"

"Well, you certainly intimidated me," someone said from behind them, strutting past, "Welcome," she slinked past, her high-heeled black boots like Eevy's clicking away, "I am Rei Hydra, and from that little speech, I'd say you want a challenge."

"Yes, Mistress Hydra. I do," Eevy nodded.

"Good then," someone caught their attention from behind, "That speech worked for me. I am Ray Hydra, and we accept your challenge as the Master and Mistress of Cutter Town Gym and holders of the Gold Badge."

Eevy was caught between a rock and a hard place, "Neither of you intimidate me in any way, shape or form. You may be strong, but I am stronger," she snorted to Rei and Ray Hydra; twin Mistress and Master to the Gold Badge of Cutter Town.

"Oh really?" they both smirked in unison, "We'll see…

"And then," Eevy paused, "Then there was Taylor…

Eevy threw open the doors of the Gym, sending Jullian and Joe sky high in surprise. They stood up and brushed off, trying to look important. Eevy rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.

"OK boys, where ya' hiding Taylor?" she cracked.

"You're honestly going to challenge him?" Jullian laughed, "Oh, come on, Eevy! You can't beat him!"

"First of all, it's Evangelina to you two suck-ups and yes, I do want to challenge him, so get him out here!"

"Why certainly!" Taylor Andiron, Master of the Rose Town Platinum Badge of the Precious Metal division, grinned from his chair, "I'm out and about already!"

"Man, how did you get up here so fast? I always thought it took a while to get here from so far below."

"So funny," he smirked, "Just like usual."

"Don't start with me, ya' scum inhaling dirt bag! I came for a match and I expect to get it!"

He brushed his hair aside, "Alright then, butterfly. You've got yourself a battle…

"What a creep," Eevy fumed evilly, "I hate that guy. I really do."

"Everybody does," Will rolled his eyes, "Sometimes I begin to wonder if his own parents don't hate him."

"That's enough reminiscing for me," Luri stood up and stretched, "What do you say we go see what the ol' boss is up to?"

*^~^**^~^*

"Good afternoon, sir!" Eevy tromped up to Kratos, "How are you?"

"Just fine, Mistress. Just fine," he took her hand and shook it, "And how are you?"

"Amazingly well," she answered in a somewhat surprised tone and looked around his side, "Yuushou. How are you?"

"I'm fine, Mistress," Kratos' fiancé nodded.

"And who's this?" Luri leaned into the face of a baby in Yuushou's arms.

"Kratos!" Lance laughed wildly, "You old dog!"

"It's not mine, you muffin!" Kratos turned beat red and shook his head.

"No. She isn't his. She's not even mine," everyone went blank when Yuushou said that, "This is my little niece, Marina. She's my sister's daughter. I'm just walking with her for a bit. That's my sister and her husband over there," she pointed across the road, "Yeeshan and Manzen."

"Yuushou!" Yeeshan stood straight and called over, "Who are your friends?"

"Come on!" Eusine jumped, "Maybe they can tell me a thing or two!" he dashed across the street.

"Hold it," Eevy snatched Mizu and Sooney's collars, "Come here. I need to talk to you."

"What about?" they asked in unison, stepping back slightly.

"What color cloaks do you want?" Eevy leaned up against the fence beside them.

"Cloaks?" Sooney bugged, "You mean…Mistress cloaks?"

"Yeah," she nodded pointedly, "That's what I mean."

"Oh. Eevy. Eusine and I have been…talking," Mizu twiddled her thumbs, "We both think it's best if we…both…wait a while with the Gym Leading thing," she saw Eevy gape, "It's not that we don't want to! But, we both think it's best not to get into that kind of big change with the baby and all. Do you understand?"

"Yes. I understand. The position will always be open," Eevy nodded with a sad smile, "What about you, Sooney? What do you think?"

"I'll…have to…say no," she choked out, "I just can't, Eevy," Eevy again slouched, "I suppose you want an explanation, huh? Well…Uh…There are quite a few things, actually. The first one is that I'm not ready. When I didn't know the Gym in Fuchsia City belonged to my idols, I knew I should stop dreaming. The second is that I'm not old enough to lead a Gym. Bugsy is the one person I know who isn't older than me and Leads a Gym. The last one…Well," she rubbed her left index finger between her right index and thumb while glancing across the street, "Tracey asked me to go back to Pallet Town with him. And I…I decided to accept."

"Oh," Eevy's shoulders slipped almost to her waist, "Well…If you ever change your minds, let me say this. You, Mizu, would be leading RedWood Town's Gym and you, Sooney, would be leading the Dart Town Gym. Eusine would have been leading Sunflower's. And at least take these," she dug into her pocket, "The Glisten, Glimmer and Sparkle Badges. They would have been yours," they looked a bit hesitant, but slowly took them from her hand, "You would have started a new division. You'd have started the Light Effects Division along with Medira. If someone won your five Badges, they'd have gotten right into Prisma Hall."

"But…" Sooney paused, "Glisten, Glimmer, Sparkle, Shimmer…That's only four. What was the other?"

Eevy grinned and winked, "You'll see."

*^~^**^~^*

"I don't wanna go!"

"Yuu-Yuu! Come on!" Beth pulled as hard as she could on Yuu-Yuu's arm, "We've got to get going! We can't stay here forever!"

"Why not?!" Yuu-Yuu wailed, "I don't want to leave!"

"Your father and mother will want to see you again, I'm sure," Eevy pulled Yuu-Yuu's fingers from the porch railing, "They'll want to see how very much you've grown."

"Aren't you going to miss me?! Even a little bit?! I know I'm irritating, and stubborn, and even a little stuck-up, but not even a little?!" Yuu-Yuu bawled crazily.

"Oh, Yuu-Yuu," Eevy shook her head, "Of course I'll miss you. I'll miss you a lot."

Yuu-Yuu sniffled, "Really?"

"Really," Eevy pulled her into a hug, "You might be younger than me, but you're still a great friend. You don't live that far away and I promise to come see you whenever I can."

"I guess…If you promise…" she started whimpering again, "I still don't wanna go!"

"Yuu-Yuu, stop!" Beth cried over her crying.

"Is she all right?" Skiff tilted his head at Yuu-Yuu as he wandered out onto the front walk.

"She'll be fine," Beth shook her head, "I'll see you again real soon, Eevy! Keep my number handy and I'll keep yours! I'll call you for an interview sometime! Bye! Come on out, Picment. Wave good bye!"

"Smeargle smear!" her Smeargle jumped and waved crazily as they walked away.

"Good bye, Beth! Good bye, Picment! Come back soon!"

Yuu-Yuu finally stopped crying, "I'm OK now," she murmured.

"Good," Skiff caught her attention from behind.

She sniffed, "I suppose you're leaving too."

"Nah. I'm going back to Rose Town. It's not that far from Lily."

"I'll come see you if you come see me."

"Sure. See you around sometime," he started walking away.

"Hey, wait!" she stopped him, "You're not gonna…You're not gonna kiss me good bye?"

"Uh…" he looked nervously at Eevy, who turned around, crossed her arms behind her back and started swaying aimlessly while whistling, "Um…"

"Please?" she pushed up to him.

He swallowed a cinder block as it rested in his throat and kissed her as carefully as physically possible for him. The problem was that he didn't want to pull away once he started. She had to literally push him back.

She put her thumbnail to her mouth, "Thank you," she said lightly.

"No problem," he put his hands in his pockets as she walked away, "Bye, Yuu-Yuu!"

"Good bye, Yuu-Yuu! See you again soon!" Eevy spun around and waved, "Good luck with your Pokemon!"

"Good bye, Eevy! Good bye, Skiff! I'll see you both again real soon! Pichu, come out here. Say good bye!"

"Pi chu pi!" her Pichu cried.

"Bye, Yuu-Yuu! See you soon, I hope!" both Eevy and Skiff called before Eevy looked down at Skiff with a coy grin.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"You kissed her…" she taunted, prodding his side with her elbow, "You sly devil-boy you…"

"Come on, Eevy…Leave me alone. Stop it! Stop! Stop that! Eevy! Don't laugh at me! Eevy! Grr…Evil!"

*^~^**^~^*

"You're going back to Ecruteak?" Eevy's jaw quivered, "But what about mom and dad?"

"They're all grown up now, Eevy," Morty snickered, "They can take care of themselves."

"I guess so," she drooped, "I'm going to miss you. Both of you."

"We'll miss you too, Eevy," Lisle clung to Morty's arm, but pulled Eevy to her other side.

"You're just like one of the family, Lisle!" Eevy pulled away from her, being reminded of her mother's tight grasp.

"One of these days, I'm going to be a Hikoboshi too. You just wait and see!" she shrieked happily.

Morty nearly collapsed, "Yeah. Sure you will," he gagged.

"You mean it?! Oh, wow!" Lisle cried in absolutely delight, "I love you!" she squeezed them tighter, "Both of you!"

"Thank you," they both managed to yank away, "I'm going to miss you so much, baby sis."

"I'm not a baby, Mortimer," she retaliated, "I am only three years younger than you."

"That's still three years," he snatched her and kissed her forehead, "You take care of yourself. Same goes for you," he glanced off to the side.

"I'll take perfectly good care of her, Morty," Lance fumed slightly, "You better not screw up again like you did."

"Don't worry. I won't let him," Lisle caught Morty's neck.

"We should probably go," Morty drooped.

"Yeah," Eevy followed accordingly, "We'll always get together for the Gym meetings. That counts."

"I guess so. I'm so proud of you," he tossed his arms around her, "My baby sister."

"I'm not a baby, Morty," she said again.

"You'll always be my baby sister," he squeezed her harder, "Always, always, always."

He stepped back and Eevy gave Lisle a two second hug, "I'll miss you too," she smiled at her brother's girl, "Hikoboshi or no."

"I'm glad to hear it. I'll miss you too. Call me sometime. We'll chat and rag on Morty. That's always fun," Lisle grinned at Morty's scowl.

"Hey," Morty stood next to Lance, "You watch my sister, OK?"

"Yeah," Lance punched his shoulder, "You know I will."

"That's entirely true," he looked side to side, checking to see if anyone was watching, before leaning into him to whisper, "Just between you and me; you're all right in my book," he took off in the opposite direction.

"Bye, Eevy! We'll miss you!" Lisle cried as Morty suddenly jolted her away, "Good bye, Lance! Thanks for everything!"

"Thank you too, guys!" Eevy jumped a few inches to wave, "I love you!"

"Say bye, Gengar!" Lisle and Morty said together, "Bye!"

"Gengar geng!"

"Geng gengar!"

"Good bye, Gengar! Good bye, Morty! Good bye, Lisle! We'll see you soon!"

*^~^**^~^*

"Bye, Eevy! See you later!" Rachel winked and bounded away.

"Bye, Rachel. See you tomorrow!" Eevy slightly waved to her, as she worked in the City, always remaining close, "What about you?"

"We're going back to Celadon. Needless to say together," Mizu put her left arm around Eusine's waist, "We're definitely going to keep you posted."

"I should certainly hope so. If I have a second-cousin, I want to know," she snickered.

"You are such a little snot sometimes," Eusine pulled her bangs, "Keep an eye on yourself. If you need any help, don't hesitate to call."

"I'll call, I'll call," she reassured, "You know…I'm really going to miss you."

"We'll miss you too, Eevy," Mizu pulled her into a slight hug, "Thank you for everything."

"Thank you for all your help. I could never have finished things up alone," she heard a growl from behind, "Alone excepting Lance."

"You know where we live," Eusine tugged Mizu with him, not particularly caring for long good byes, "Remember to call."

"I'll call, all right?! You take care of yourselves! And stop your gambling!" she waved crazily.

"Don't worry! He'll be too occupied with me!" Mizu laughed, "Good bye, Eevy! I'll miss you!"

"We'll miss you," Eusine corrected indignantly.

"Right…We'll miss you, Eevy!" Mizu said again.

"Good luck with the baby! Let us know what's up! I love you both! Bye!"

*^~^**^~^*

"Well," Ash pouted, "I suppose this is good bye, Eevy."

"Not for good, I hope," Eevy replied sadly, "You're going back to Pallet Town?"

"Yeah. Skiff's going to take us and then head back to Rose himself. It was…uh…Fun."

"Right. Fun," Eevy nodded, "That's one way of putting it. I'll…uh…Really miss you, guys."

"We'll miss you too," Misty nodded from behind Ash, "Won't we, Togepi?"

"Pi-pi-pi," Togepi started tearing up, then bawling.

"Looks like Togepi feels just about as good as the rest of us," Brock muttered.

"You're going to come back, Togepi," Eevy said lightly, "Aren't you?" she looked off at Ash.

"Sure we will! And maybe I'll even challenge you!" he paused suddenly, "…Someday," he bumped his hat down slightly.

"As for you," she turned on Tracey, "You take good care of my friend. She means a lot to me."

"I-I will, Eevy," Tracey nodded stiffly.

"You behave yourself," she sarcastically scolded Sooney, "No whining."

"I won't," Sooney shook her head.

"And stop flirting with every girl you see," she pointed her right index finger right between Brock's eyes, "It drives us away," she winked to everyone but him.

"It…Does?" he asked blankly.

"Sure it does!" she laughed evilly and looked to Misty, "You do just like Luri and I said. Don't go pouting either. Trust your heart," she paused a minute, "And by what happened before, your stomach too."

"I will," Misty nodded and Togepi chirped.

"Here's a little something for the road, Pikachu," Eevy handed him a bottle of ketchup.

"Pika cha!" Pikachu cheered, "Pi-pi-pika-pika!"

"Come on you guys! I'm ready to go!" Skiff called from the river as he sat in his boat.

"See you later, Eevy. I'll miss you so much!" Misty ran down the path.

"Pii-pii-pii!" Togepi cried from her arms, waving over her shoulder.

"Good bye, Eevy! Thanks for the pointer!" Brock called and ran behind Misty.

"See you soon, Eevy! I'll miss traveling with you!" Sooney started running, "Come on, Tracey!"

"Thanks for the time off, Eevy! And the great sketches too!" Tracey bounded away.

"Bye, Eevy," Ash murmured simply and turned around slowly.

"Ash, wait," she stepped forward and paused him, "I want you to have something. Give me your hand."

"Why?" he stepped back as Pikachu gave a blank face from on top his head, the tip of the ketchup bottle in his mouth.

"Pika?" he muffled.

"Just let me see," she pulled his right wrist in her left hand and turned it palm up, "Take this with you. It's something special," she put out her right fist over his hand and dropped something into it, flattening her hand over his, "Don't ever lose it. It's important," she closed his hand over it before pulling hers away.

He slowly opened his hand, "Woah. What is it?"

"It's called the Twinkle Badge, Ash. It's yours."

"I've never heard of the Twinkle Badge before. Where's it from?"

She smiled lightly, "Too much to explain now. Your friends are waiting. I'll tell you…Someday. Good bye, Pikachu," she pulled Ash over and pushed his hat up, kissing his forehead, "Thank you, Ashura. For everything."

He turned bright red, "Yeah. You too."

"Come on, Ash! Let's go!" Misty called from the boat.

"Hurry up! I want to see Pallet Town!" Sooney shouted.

"Get going," Eevy gave him a slight push, "I'll see you again. Good bye, my friends! I'll see you all again…Someday! Don't forget me!"

"How could we?!" Brock waved as the boat started up, "Bye!"

"Pi-pikachu pi!" Pikachu jumped up to the bow of the boat, "Pikachu-cha!"

"Hey, Tracey," Sooney pulled his collar, "Thank you for inviting me along," she pulled him closer and kissed him, actually causing him to drop his sketchbook, "Good bye, Eevy!" she turned to wave.

"Bye, Eevy!" Tracey waved over Sooney before snatching her wrist to get her attention, "And hello, Sooney."

"I'll see you real soon, Eevy!" Ash took his chances and sprang to his feet, whipping his hat off and waving it, "I promise I'll be back! I don't know when, but…Someday, Evangelina! I'll come back here to Gertan Rin and when we do, you'd better be ready for the match of your lifetime!"

"I will be, Ash! I'll wait right here for you, and I'll make sure I'm prepared to take you on! Once we meet again, you'll have to prove to me you've grown like you're supposed to!" Eevy threw her arms above her head, "And if you haven't, I'll whip you into shape myself, Ashura! You just wait and see!"

"See ya' sometime again real soon, Eevy!" he called.

"Don't stay away for too long, Ash!" she cried.

"Siddown!" Skiff suddenly thundered, causing Ash to lean away, "Nobody stands in Skiff Frigate's boats! Nobody!"

"I'm down…"

"Good bye, everybody!" Lance stepped up behind Eevy, "Thank you!"

"Come see us again sometime!" Will called, "We'll be waiting for you!"

"You know where to find us!" Luri waved, "Don't forget now! We'll be here!"

"Thank you for everything you've done!" Jason jumped and waved, "Good bye!"

"Thank you so much, you guys!" Medira cheered, "Come back again!"

Eevy could just make out the outlines of most all of her friends. Her chin quivered and she sniffled as she called her Poke'Balls from her belt subconsciously. Vovo and his sons cried out in unison, letting out an echoing cry that would reverberate through the entire Great Isle of Gertan Rin. She closed her eyes tightly and jumped forward a step, a sparkling line of tears running behind her.

"Good bye everybody! We'll all miss you!" she cried as loud as she could, "Thank you, guys! And come back soon!"

"Good bye, Eevy!" a dozen different voices echoed through the trees and routes of Gertan Rin.

What would happen next, not even Celebi knew. The only thing anyone was certain of was that there would be plenty of pleasures to match any pain they would have. Smiles would turn to frowns and happiness to sadness, but nonetheless, they would last together. No matter how painful it was, they had to split apart and head on their own separate journeys about the Pokemon world. Though they may not have been on Gertan Rin, they would still outlast the perils they would encounter; for each other.

As everyone disappeared from view, nine shadows loomed in the trees; two floating, four with wings, and three on four legs. Mew and Celebi both looked to each other and nodded as the Legendary Beasts looked to their Legendary Bird counterparts with wide smiles and light laughs. Lugia looked between the groups with a grin spread along his face. Mew floated back a bit, encasing itself in a pink bubble and fizzling away. Lugia put his wings to his sides and looked up, spiraling as a twister and teleporting away. Raikou, Suicune and Entei each zipped off in a different direction, glowing their own respective colors. Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos each lifted into the air and disappeared in a spark of yellow, blue, or red. Celebi sat, just for a moment, watching the six elite trainers as they gave their final good byes. She smiled and turned around, speeding away, deeper into the forest with each passing second. As she started going even faster, white ropes of power flying around her, a sudden flash and spark of pure white teleported the Forest Spirit away for another time when she would return to guard the chosen Elite…Someday.

No one really wanted anyone to leave, nor did anyone really want to go, but some things just have to end; as does this story. But their lives do not end here; no, not even close. The main adventure may have initially ended, but the winding story of their future has not. We'll work our way years into their futures…When the time comes, but right now, The Angel Adventures Part 105 has to end. So, we'll return…Someday.

~~~ End ~~~

The Angel Adventures is over! It ended at Part 105! If you stuck with me through the whole thing, I love you, man! Um…Anyway…So what do you think? Sappy, ne? I like sappy. Especially with pancakes. Buh dum bum, ching! Uh…That was a joke. You were supposed to laugh. Not working? Oh well…Guess it was so funny, you just forgot to laugh, right? Right? Wrong. Ah, forget it. Anyway, again, thank you for sticking with me all this time. It really is depressing for me to end this story, but, as it says, there will be more! I have over 100 pages in Special Editions done as it is! And I'm still working and always awaiting absolutely any new suggestions you might have! (proeeveebreeder@pokemonarena.net ~ Send 'em, send 'em, send 'em!) I must thank rainflower of Rainflower.net for all the help she's given/giving me. Also Corrector9Yui for also being there through this whole thing and allowing me use of Yui, and my other good friend Tristan, whom as of yet, hasn't appeared in TAA…Someday maybe though…Muahaha…He has, however, been an amazing help at proof-reading and watching for HTML mistakes. Ever seen a chapter with no mistakes? He's responsible. I gotta thank Jincy and Mira-chan for taking the time to actually build their story off of Gertan Rin and my fic too. That was an amazing achievement for me (Like typing 105 chapters wasn't, but come on!). And I absolutely have to thank my friend Christine too, as she allowed me use of Rachel Warren, and has been a most amazing friend since I lived in PA. They're just the greatest out there, and they've continued to be this entire time, and it amazes me these guys can put up with me for so long o_O I'm not exactly easy to deal with. (Look for rainflower, Akuryu Skadi and Corrector9Yui on fanfiction.net or Vovo will eat you!) And, but of course, I thank everyone who read all this, whether you reviewed/will review or not! I'm being read (That didn't sound right…) in Singapore, Puerto Rico, Canada, Sweden, and numerous states in the US! Woohoo! You flatter me, you really do. Now, this is Pro_V/ProEeveeBreeder/Kat blasting-uh-signing off…For now.
