~The Crack of Dawn!~

"Bye honey," Mrs. Brooks along with Jen and Shane waved goodbye to Dustin and Kai who were just getting warmed up in their battle behind the house.

"Later," Dustin said without turning around, "Go Quilava Quick Attack now!"

"Delcatty dodge!" Kai commanded the calm cat.

"Lava!" it flames on it's body light up in an array of reds, yellows, and oranges. It started to run in a quick, yet balanced speed, smashing it's head into Delcatty's mid-air as the cat tried to dodge. Delcatty was caught off guard and slid on the grass field, leaving red marks on it's light skin.

"Delcatty use Solar Beam!"

"Del!" it pured and quickly recovered from the previous blow, it's tail glew a white like green color, it was charging up energy.

"Don't let it fire it!" Dustin countered, "Quilava use Overheat!"

"Lava!" the mouse stood on it's two hind legs, the body flames consuming it's body and growing like an atomic bomb, devouring the grass field and burning Delcatty. As the attack died down Quilava panted hard while Delcatty laided on it's side, crossed out eyes and serious burn marks.

"Delcatty!" Kai gaps, sad for her pokemon but glad Dustin had learned something from her. "Nice try," she withdrew it and latched it to her belt, enlarging another pokeball and throwing it, "Marshtomp use Water Gun!"

"Flame Wheel!" Dustin ordered.

"Tomp!" the strange mud fish bellowed out a quick moving jet of blue water, Quilava jumped in the air and enlight it's flames, crashing down aimed at Marshtomp like a meteor coming to Earth. The burning mouse let out a cry as it's burning head slamed into Marshtomp's forehead. The blue pokemon fell over as Quilava landed behind it, breathing hard.

"Overheat took a lot out of Quilava," Dustin thought out loud, "Return," he withdrew it and whispered kind words, then latching it away and enlarging another one, "Go Eevee!" The brown pokemon purred. "Quick Attack!"

"Water Gun!" Kai directed.

Marshtomp blew out another jet of water, Eevee doding it by moving right and thrusting it's quick moving body into Marshtomp's stomache, the water types grunted in as a minor level of pain clinched it's body.

"Now use Iron Tail!" Dustin commanded.

"Marshtomp use Mud-Slap!"

Marshtomp turned around and kicked up some mud, however Eevee had allready ran out of the firing range, it's tail glowing silver from the iron energy it was forming. Jumping in the air and fliping, it's hard tail smashed into Marshtomp's forehead, which was allready hurt from Quilava. Eevee landed softly as Marshtomp put it's hands on it's forehead and cried.

"Now's our chance!" Dustin told Eevee, "Use Quick Attack!"

"Water Gun!"

As Marshtomp inhaled a deep breahe a quick moving brown blur slamed into it's stomache, making it cry and fall over with swirly eyes. Eevee waved it's tail with truimph and pured as Dustin congratulated it with kind words.

"Return," Kai said and shrunk down the pokeball, whispering words of gratitude to it and enlarging another one. "Go Treecko!" she threw it as a geko formed from the light, it's face looked determiend. "Treecko use Quick Attack!"

"Use Quick Attack!" Dustin echoed.

Treecko started to sprint off, eventually gaining speed and becoming a green blur, chasing after the brown blur known as Eevee. Treecko jumped in the air and fliped, slaming it's right hand down on Eevee but missing, it started to run again. Eevee charged faster and thrusted off at the moving geko, missing and sliding into the ground, sand kicking up.

'If I can win this one I win for the first time,' Dustin thought and smiled. "Eevee use Iron Tail!"

A silver streak was seen behind the brown blur, Eevee's tail morphed into an irony form, quickly catching up with Treecko and stoping front of it. The geko's eyes grew wide as it's abdomen was crushed by the metalic tail, knocking the green pokemon on it's back with swirly eyes.

"Whoa..." Kai mummbled and smiled after thanking Treecko and withdrawing it. "You beat me...," she was in complete shock as Dustin pet Eevee and smiled.

Dustin stood up and finished congratulating Eevee, then withdrawing it and latching the pokeball to his belt, "Hey -," he started to say to his sister but his stomache growled.

Kai giggled, "So after a surprising victory my little brother needs food," she winked, "I'll fix you something."

"....Nothing to eat," Kai sighed as she finished searching the kitchen for something to snack on, "Where's Jynx?"

"On break," Dustin sighed back. "We gotta find mom..."

"I think she and your friends went to that new spa in town..." Kai thought for a moment, "What was it's name agian..." she couldn't remember, "O well, I know where it's at."

After walking through Newbark Dustin and his sister came to a huge building, painted blue with hearts on it, a crowd was around it as it was the first day opening.

"Hold back," an Officer Jenny told the crowd as she directed on who could come in, the crowd quickly made their way into the spa when Kai and Dustin entered.

The two siblings gasp as the man made hot springs, pokefood blenders, recipes for pokemon food and all sorts of other things filled the huge room.

"Dustin!" Jen ran up to her friend through the crowd, Dustin and Kai said hello and where glad to see her. "Your mom and Shane is over here."

Dustin, Kai, and Jen walked to a small spa where Dratini was resting, eyes closed as only it's head was shown over the pool. Mrs. Brooks and Shane were sitting beside the spa with another girl around sixteen or seventeen, she had black hair to her shoulders and was dressed in a paif of blue jeans and a light blue shirt.

"Hi honey," Mrs. Brooks said to her son and daughter, "Sit down, don't you love this place?" she then looked to the stranger, "These are my kids."

"Nice to meet you," the girl noded, "My name is Cally."

"She's the owner," Jen informed Dustin and Kai.

"I'm Kai," she smiled, "This is Dustin."

"Hey!" Dustin smiled, first at Cally but his intrest grew when an Eevee with a silver bow around it's neck walked up to Cally.

"O this is Eva," Cally smiled, "My Eevee." She pet it on the neck as it purred.

"I have an Eevee too!" Dustin annouced. Before grabing the pokeball his stomache growled loud once more. "-Oops..." he blushed.

"You must be starving," Cally winked, "Don't worry I'll fix you up something."

The gang, Msr. Brooks and Cally walked into a kitchen like area where everyone sat down as Cally feed them some soup.

"This is great!" Dustin replied as he finished his soup in a hurry and chuged down his glass of fresh water.

"Thanks," Cally smiled, "It's my original recipe."

"Vee," Eva pured as it walked in the kitchen, sniffing around and then purring some more.

"Your Eva is really cute," Jen complemented.

"Thank you," she responded, "But...I'm actually hoping for it to evolve soon...it's been trying to evolve but it won't accept the Umbreon transformation."

"You should fight with it around the morning," Jen pointed out.

"I have," she replied with a sigh, "But Eva just want evolve then..."

"Then let's battle now!" Dustin stood up and enlarged a pokeball, "Maybe if- -- I don't know -let's just battle and give Eva some experience!"

"Really?" Cally asked with a smile.

The gang made their way to an arena in the spa, Cally and Dustin took their place in the trainer's box while Jen, Shane, Mrs. Brooks and Kai watched in the bleachers.

"I choose Eva," Cally said as her Eevee pured into the arena.

"Go Eevee!" Dustin threw his pokeball as the same pokemon appeared, through the windows the sunset peered down on the field.

"Eevee versus Eevee," Shane sighed.

"Go Eva use Take Down!"

"Eevee use Quick Attack!"

"Vee!" Eevee sprinted quickly across the field in a brown blur as Eva slamed into the empty ground, smashing it's feet into the wooden floor of the arena. Both Eevee glared at each other and purred.

"Eva use Mud-Slap!"

"Eevee close your eyes!" Dustin retaliated.

"Vee!" Eva turned around and used it's hind legs to kick up some dust from the wood, creating a dust. Eevee closed it's eyes and stayed calm as the dust past by.

"Now use Iron Tail!" Dustin commanded.

"Iron Tail!" Cally echoed.

Both Eevee's tail glew a silvery steel, the two ran at each other and smacked metal tail on metal tail, causing an ear spliting sound that vibrated through the arena. Both Eevees landed safely and panted hard.

"Eva use-" Cally started to command but an alarm went off.

"What is it?" Dustin asked.

"Someone is trying to steal the pokemon!" she gasp.

Everyone, along with Eva and Eevee ran outside to the back of the spa, a pond area where water pokemon were. Up in the air however an air baloon help a net filled with the Squirtles and Goldeens.

"Team Rocket!" Jen stated.

"Haha!" Bonnie laughed as the sun was setting, "Prepare for trouble!"

Clyde came in, "Make it double!"

"To abolish the world with devistation!"

"To destroy people of every nation!"

"To annouce the evils of darkness and love!"

"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"

"Bonnie," she smirked.

"Clyde," he responded.

"Hand those pokemon back!" Cally commanded.

"Yeah right," Bonnie laughed. "Catch us if you can!" she stuck out her tounge as the baloon started to leave.

"Go-" Shane enlarged a pokeball but Cally stoped him.

"We'll do this," she noded, "Eva go!"

"Eev!" the pokemon pured and got in a fighting stance.

"But what can I do?" Cally thought out loud as the sun was allmost done setting the baloon was coming out of sight with the pokemon. "-Uh..."

"Look!" Kai pointed to Eva who was now glowing. "It's evolving!"

Eva glew into a new shape as the light died down the sun finished setting, leaving just enough time for Eva to transform into an Espeon. "Esp!" it chirped and waged it's two pronged tail.

"Allright!" Cally jumped for joy, "Now Espeon get back those Squirtles and Goldeens with a Confusion!"

"Eps!" it noded as it's eyes glew violet, an aura appeared around Espeon and the net full of pokemon, the net slowly came back into sight without the baloon, landing in front of Kai as Espeon stoped glowing.

"We did it!" Bonnie laughed as they made their way out of sight from Dustin and the rest of the gang. Her partner didn't look so happy, "What's wrong?"

"-Uh..." Clyde looked down on, "The pokemon are gone..."

"GONE?!" Bonnie shouted.

The water pokemon were released by Kai, they quickly made their way back to the lake behind the spa as Cally hugged Espeon.

"Congratulations," Dustin said to Cally with his Eevee behind him.

"Thanks to you," she smiled back.

Everyone was now waving goodbye to Cally as it was getting dark and Dustin only had four days left to train.

"Goodbye," Cally waved from her spa with Espeon behind her. "And good luck!"

"Thanks Cally!" Dustin waved goodbye with his friends, sister and mom, Eevee continued to follow outside it's pokeball.

"Another day of training," Kai winked to her brother, "Four more to go before you guys have to leave..."

"Yep," Dustin smiled, he stoped as his family and friends walked on, Eevee was now glowing like Eva. "Huh?"

"It's evolving!" Jen gasp as everyone turned around and watched Eevee transform from brown into a black form known as Umbreon.

"Um!" the black pokemon nodded as it's yellow rings shined in the dim moonlight. Dustin smiled and hugged it.

***Kind of a corny ending...o well Dustin's Eevee became an Umbreon!(my fav form of Eevee ^_-) anyways more coming this weekend, please R&R***
