Like I promised, Ill update as often as I can for my fans. Well, let's
continue as Isaac and Noel finally reach New Bark town.
* * * * * * * * * *
The large ferry began to slowly move into the dock as the riders were given the order to disembark from their rooms and the ship. Noel and Isaac, along with the Eevees, were among the first to get off and they walked to the pokemon center where Isaac explained he would send a vid-mail to his parents and explain the situation to them and hope that they would just let him be. The entire time they were walking to the center, Isaac though that he was being followed. A shady trainer was following them from a good distance away, but obviously following none the less.
The Pokemon Center was a huge building shaped like a trophy with a dome on top of it.
"Wow." Noel said starring at its great heights, "Its sure changed from the simple place my dad said it use to be."
"Obviously." Isaac said, "It's been years so this place has become a major port for all of Johto."
"Oh."
"Let move I don't like it out here." Isaac said moving the Eevees out of view of the streets.
Inside it was fairly deserted. There were a few benches colored green, a green vid-phone isle in the corner, the desk with a nurse watching them enter and a personal computer. He gestured to Noel to give the Eevees in for a rest and checkup as he handed her his pokeball.
"I'll only be a minuet." He said, motioning towards the phones, "Come find me when they are being taken care of." And he walked off to dial his home. Please don't let them be up yet, he though to himself.
Noel was naturally curious so she called the pokemon back and gave them to the nurse with bright blue hair as she briskly walked over to listen to the conversation between the mysterious friend and his evil parents.
* * * * * * * * * * *
"Moment of truth." He sighed to himself, and began dialing his familiar number.
One ring, two rings, three rings.. "Hello?" No vid, for now. He sighed as he pressed the camera button and said "Mom."
"Isaac!" She screamed so loud that the entire center could hear and he lowered her volume. "Where are you, what happened, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." He said, "And I'm not going to tell you where I am. But I ran away, Its my life now mom. I'm the master of myself and that's that. I'm finally starting my journey and you can't stop me."
Noel listen intently.
"You have to come home." She yelled at him, she was now fuming. "If you don't come home."
"What you'll disown me again?" He scoffed, "I don't need money to be happy. I could be penniless and as long as I've got eevee ill be happy till the day I die. We're gonna become pokemon masters like grandpa was in his day. I'll make him proud, and I would have made grandma proud by using this vest she made me if you would have let me gone when I was suppose to and not out on some trip for money!"
She just shot daggers of ice at him. "You will come home, one way or another."
"Try."
Noel stepped out and stood by him and stupidly told his mother to stop bother him and let him try and be himself, then shut off the cam and hung up the phone.
He was stunned, she had just told off a complete stranger. Not only on his behalf but without knowing what was now going to happen.
"You shouldn't have done that Noel." He said sadly, "She and my dad will come for me and now your involved."
"Umm.. Did I do bad?"
"Maybe, maybe not." He said turning from the phone to face her, "They're rich Noel. They have connections everywhere, and now they'll be after me and you. Saying you kidnapped me or something, then dragging me back home and probably taking away eevee, Spectrum, from me."
He had just spiraled into a depression he never felt before, he cold live without light or sun or moon or night. But without eevee was unthinkable. And now a friend he had just started to make was going to be in as much trouble as him.
"I know." She said, "I know how the rich work, I've dealt with them. But they won't try anything except send trainer after you with a bounty." She looked at his eye through his ruffled sliver hair and used a hand to bring his chin up to be almost nose to nose with her. "We'll be fine. And I think your eevee can handle itself."
"He can." He laughed thinking about the golum he decimated.
"You still haven't told me why he's called spectrum?" she laughed.
"Well its hard to explain. Ill show you when we meet a tough opponent." He said, "but first I think we better move." He pointed to a stranger watching them from the other corner of the center. "Could you pick up the pokemon and meet me at the supply outlet? I need to pick up a sleeping bag."
"Sure thing."
He had a tear on his face as he walked, more like ran, out of the center towards the outdoor store. She couldn't blame him, vindictive parents, a grudge against them, and the fact they threatened to 'get' him. She was sure glad her parents weren't like that. She sighed. Boy did she miss them. She walked up to the counter for the Eevees, thanked her then walked out into the busy street towards the store.
It took a few minuets to get there in the heavy sidewalk traffic, but when she did she saw Isaac waiting with his sleeping bag rolled up onto his backpack. She greeted him and handed him eevee's blue pokeball.
"Thanks." He said putting him back onto his belt.
"No Prob." She said as they ditched the crowds and went into a large wooded park.
It was a lush area with many trees and the songs of many kinds of bids and pokemon alike. The path was made of soft dirt that deepened as they stepped along. Yells were heard from one corner of the center park, a pokemon battle was going on.
"Come on skiploom!" Yelled one of the trainers.
"Finish it dustox! Confusion!" Yelled the other, and in a flash the skiploom had flown out of the circle and into a tree, fainted. "That's number fifteen! Who's next to take on me and dustox?"
Isaac decided this would be a good chance to show off his eevee's special talent.
"I will!" He said stepping into the circle and releasing eevee, who trotted over to him and rubbed his head against Isaac's leg till her got an ear rub.
"Looks like a wimp to me." The trainer mocked, "Ready on your command wussy boy."
"Eevee, give it a fade attack!"
Eevee's body faded into the shadows as the dustox searched for it until it was struck from behind by eevee's tackle. The large dustox trainer grunted.
"Dustox give it a sleep powder attack!"
From the flapping wings, spread a powerful blue sleep powder attack. But eevee was ready to intercept. As it appeared to stuck home, eevee faded again and attacked it from behind.
Noel realized that this was a newly evolved dustox or it would have moved fast enough to catch it, and she bet Isaac knew that too. He was just toying with it.
"Eevee lets finish it! Use fission takedown!"
Eevee stopped dead in its movements and began to flicker bright gold, sparks shot off in all directions and to Isaac's amusement all the trainers were completely frightened out of their wits. The forms of eevee sprang out and surrounded dustox and stopped as eevee took his place to command them at Isaac's order.
"Wait wait!" The trainer screamed, "This isn't fair! Six on one isn't fair!"
"Its not six." Isaac laughed, looking back to see noel's stunned face, and her eevee had come to watch the match which was equally confused. "They're still one pokemon, just with special training he can be more then one place at a time in more then one form."
The boy was rattled as a weedle after being electrocuted by a voltorb. He didn't want to give in.
"Dustox! Use whirlwind!"
"Eevee thunder-wave!"
Eevee relayed the order to its jolteon form and soon enough a wave of electric energy paralyzed the flying pokemon. Eevee seemed to be getting more experienced at commanding his parts separately but he observed that the umbreon was acting strange and wondering towards Teal. So he ordered the dark section of him to finish it with a flash attack to get it back in line.
It obeyed after a slight wait and then joined the rest of the forms as it waited behind Spectrum.
"That thing's a monster!" The trainers screamed as eevee's phantom forms melded back into the one.
"No he isn't!" Isaac pleaded as the circle began to close in on eevee who was now too weak to defend himself, "RETURN!" Eevee stumbled to intercept the beam and return to its pokeball, and just barely beat out the barrage of stones that had landed short of him.
"What's wrong with you people!" He screamed, "Spectrum's just well trained! So he has a talent yours don't big deal. You shouldn't attack him for it!"
"Fine then," said the dustox's trainer, who had a rock in hand, "I guess well take out the monsters master then!" The rock flew and beamed Isaac right in the area above his left eye right bellow his headband, he fell like a sack of bricks and hit the ground hard.
The group became worried and scattered as Noel tried to figure what to do with the boy whose head was now bleeding freely, and whose eevee, spectrum, was in just as bad shape. Eevee had come loose during the impact and cut its paw on a piece of glass that a kid had thrown in an attempt to hit Isaac.
Spectrum licked his wound and tired to wobble to Isaac, as Teal and Noel attempted to dress the wound and find a way to make the boy regain consciousness. He was loosing blood freely as they fumbled with some of Noel's first aid kit contents in an effort to make a Band-Aid.
* * * * * * * * * *
Well I'll end it there. Will Isaac survive? Will Eevee's special technique ever be accepted without terror and loathing? Is he truly a monster? And what is with his darker half? All these questions will be answered as more arise in the next, Isaac's Journey!
