Chapter 6 - Moonflower's Story
written by She Who Walks the Night
*~*~*~*
"I'm not sure why Hailey wanted me," the gloom began. "I guess she needed a grass-type pokemon, and I was the most interesting one she found. Though that isn't saying much."
I started to object to that statement, but Autumnwind beat me to it. "How many times," she said sharply, "must I tell you that you are a very interesting pokemon." The other pokemon nodded in agreement, but the gloom still looked doubtful.
"If you weren't a good pokemon," I added, "you wouldn't be a gloom. You'd still be an oddish."
"I wish I was," the gloom said, almost sadly. "At least I would remember something from my past, then.
"You don't remember anything?" I asked, shocked.
The gloom shook her head. "I only remember bits and pieces, such as walking in the moonlight, which earned me my wild name, Moonflower. Call me that, okay, Firestorm?"
I nodded, and Moonflower continued. "Hailey--that stupid little heifer needs to be eaten by a charizard--she calls me Petals," she said bitterly. "Petals!" she spat, as though it was the stupidest thing she'd ever heard.
I was surprised by Moonflower's sudden outburst. She seemed just a bit unstable. "It's not so bad," I said, trying to sound like I meant it, for inside, I shuddered. What kind of human would name a pokemon Petals? Hailey would, I thought.
Moonflower made a sound that was almost a snort. "At least you have a decent nickname. 'Blaze' is probably the best nickname she has given any of her pokemon."
I decided to change the subject. "Is there anything else you remember?"
"Only how I was caught and the battles I've fought for Hailey. Rainflight was responsible for my capture." Moonflower didn't sound angry or anything. In fact, she shot Rainflight an affectionate smile. "Trust me, our Sleep Powders come in handy, since both Rainflight and I can use it now.
"And there isn't much to tell about the battles. To be honest, I shouldn't even be a gloom right now. I evolved at a low level in order to defeat one of my opponents. That graveler was just too much for me as an oddish. Now I'm just hoping that Hailey will let me battle more before deciding to evolve me again."
"What do you mean? Won't you just evolve when you're ready?" I asked, slightly confused.
"Are you kidding?" Moonflower looked almost ready to laugh. "Gloom are evolved with either a leaf stone or a sun stone. The leaf stone evolves us to vileplume, and the sun stone evolves us to bellossom. Personally, if I have to evolve again, I'm hoping Hailey uses the leaf stone. I can't imagine myself as a bright bellossom."
"I see," I said, though I wasn't sure I did. I didn't know anything about these stones, so I wasn't sure what they entailed. However, I knew that it wasn't right for evolution to rest in a trainer's hands. I knew what could happen if a pokemon evolved too soon.
The remaining two pokemon, the hellhound and the aquatic one, offered to tell their story. They would prove to me just how a trainer writes their pokemon's fate in stone.

Can anyone guess what the aquatic pokemon is? Just think about that and review. And I promise I'll have Chapter 7 up soon.
Once again, I ask you to read my other pokemon fic, "Starlight, Moonlight". In fact, check out any of my other stories if they interest you. ^_^
