A/N: Hey y'all! I'm sooo sorry for not updating in a while, but

my computer's been crashing for a while now and for awhile, I

couldn't even get onto ff.net! *Gasp* but now my computer's up

and running, and I have a new LOTR fic! Go read it! It's called More than meets the Eye.

Chapter Eleven: The Search Continues

Eevee looked sadly at its trainer. Her breath came in short,

ragged gasps and she had been running a fever for nearly two

days. If it didn't find help soon, she would die. She would die just

like her mother. It couldn't let that happen.

"Vee," it said as it nudged Stasi, trying to wake her.

Stasi opened her eyes. "Eevee. Jake's standing by the

window. Let him in. Let my big brother in."

Eevee looked at the window that Stasi was staring at. There

was nothing there. Stasi had started hallucinating.

"Vee," it said to itself and climbed out of the window. It

would save Stasi, it had to.

**************************************************

Daniel sat in the Pokèmon Center lobby, his head in his hands.

Cyndaquil sat next to him, its head lower than usual.

"I don't know what I can do Cyndaquil. Stasi's out there and

I'm stuck in here."

"Quil. Cyndaquil."

"Even though we've been traveling for a few weeks or days, I

can't remember which, I feel like I've known Stasi my whole life."

Cyndaquil nudged Daniel. "Quil. Cyndaquil."

"What is it Cyndaquil?"

It pointed outside. An Eevee was running down the street.

"It's Eevee! Come on." Daniel rushed out of the door after

Eevee, Cyndaquil by his side.

Eevee looked behind itself. It saw Daniel and Cyndaquil

running behind it. Normally, it would stop to let them get close, but

it had a mission: it had to get Team Rocket away from Stasi so

they wouldn't kill her. It ducked into an alley.

"Eevee! What are you doing?" called Daniel. He looked in the

alley. Nothing was there.

"Quil?" asked Cyndaquil.

Eevee dove under a box. Daniel couldn't see it from his point

of view.

"Eevee? Why are you running away from me?" he asked

softly.

Eevee didn't reply.

"I guess that it was a wild Eevee," Daniel said glumly. "Now I'll

never find Stasi. Come on Cyndaquil, let's go back to the Center."

Eevee felt so bad. It had to save Stasi. It ran out of the alley

and into the grocery store. A cardboard figure of a person was on

display. It broke the window and stole the cardboard figure. It

disappeared into the night.

******************Later that evening*****************

"This is an outrage! First some of my food gets stolen! And

now my display!" yelled the store owner. "Nobody will ever want

to shop at a store that keeps on getting robbed."

"Calm down sir. Did you see who stole your cardboard

figure?" asked Officer Jenny.

"No, I was at home."

"Excuse me, Officer Jenny?" asked Daniel.

"What is it Daniel?"

"I think I know who stole the display item."

"Who did? Tell me!" yelled the store owner.

"Well, last night I saw an Eevee run down the street. I

followed it until it disappeared in an alley. I have the feeling that it

was Stasi's Eevee again. I think that Stasi is in trouble."

"By all means, than arrest her!" yelled the owner, his face

turning bright red.

"I'm sorry sir, but, by looking at the items that were stolen, I

think that the Eevee is trying to save Stasi," said Officer Jenny.

"Why won't it get help from us then?" asked Daniel.

"My conclusion is that it's trying to save Stasi by itself

because it thinks that it was the reason that Stasi was missing."

"I hope we can find them," Daniel said.

**************************************************

"Jessie, don't you think that this is a little cruel? You're killing

her just because you want to beat Cassidy?" asked James.

"I don't care about the risks that I'm taking. I'm going to beat

Cassidy no matter what," snapped Jessie.

"Shh! Quiet! I hear someting," whispered Meowth.

Jessie and James quieted down. They could hear footsteps.

A shadowy figure stood in the window.

"It's a person!" screamed Jessie.

"Let's get out of here!" yelled James.

"What about ta girl?" asked Meowth.

"Leave her. She's going to die anyway," said Jessie.

They ran out of the door and crawled into their balloon. It

took off, leaving Ilex Forest. The shadowy figure fell to the

ground, revealing Eevee. The figure that Team Rocket had seen

was the cardboard person. It smiled and ran into the room where

Stasi was held. She was unconscious and was burning up. A defiant

look crossed Eevee's face as it burst out of the window and ran in

the direction of Azalea Town.
