"So Brock, I know we don't have a fire or anything but do you think you could make us up some food?, I'm starving!" Ash said, Misty groaned.
"I'll see what I can do," Brock said digging through his bag.
"Ooo, you have a Flareon!" Misty commented, noticing the light given off by Flareons flames as Krystal let it out of its pokeball,
"You must have just about every Eevee evolution there is then," she added.
"Actually I have them all, plus two Eevee's, though no one really knows how many evolutions there are," Krystal said, pulling off her black leather boots,
"now I spend most of my time bonding with them and training them to be the best they can."
"Wow you must have been collecting for along time," Misty added, watching as Flareon paced around the cave, giving them warmth from its flames before finally coming to a stop beside Krystal's boots.
"Yeh I have, I got my first Eevee when I was around 7, oh and you guys can place your wet clothes beside Flareon, she'll dry them quickly, if you want," Krystal said, taking off her tight leather jacket and leaving it with her boots.
"Thanks," Ash said, adding his jacket beside Flareon,
"Brock is the food ready?" Ash asked looking over to Brock.
"We're not going to be eating anytime soon, sorry Ash, the supplies are soaked through" Brock said.
"Wha..." Ash said, sweat dropping.
"Its not that bad, we ate just before we met Krystal, remember?" Misty stated "Oh yeah," Ash said watching as Pikachu lay down beside Flareon. Misty looked around the cave and then outside the cave mouth, they sky was dark and it was still raining.
"It should be getting dark soon, maybe someone should go see if Gary is all right, he has been gone along time," Misty suggested.
"As much as I hope he got lost out there, your right, someone, should go look for him but its not going to be me. Since there's no food, I'm going to sleep, you can wake me when it has stopped raining," Ash said, lying down on the cave floor.
"I'll go," Krystal said pulling out a pokeball, "it would do Vaporeon some good to get out in the rain," she added.
"Por," Vaporeon said in reply, as he followed his owner out of the cave and into the rain.
With the help of the lightning flashing over head, it didn't take her long to spot Gary, he was sitting on a boulder, just a few metres from the cave mouth, one leg drawn up under his arm, wearing nothing but his boxers. She and Vaporeon approached the boulder their sound drowned out by that of the rain and thunder.
Meanwhile in the cave, Misty sat in silence leaning against the back wall, Ash hadn't gone to sleep, he just didn't want to go out in the rain, though she couldn't blame him, she was much happier in here even if she was a water pokemon trainer.
"I wonder how long this storm will hold up?" she asked, Brock seemed to be sleeping but Ash just shrugged.
"Who knows," he finally said, "it doesn't really matter though, like you said, it will be night soon," he added. Misty nodded then yawned, lying down beside Ash.
"I hope it stops before morning, it was so much more fun just travelling during nice sunny days and camping out under the stars," she said, curling up on her side to face Ash.
"Yeh, you're right, those were fun times, but I'm sure the rain will let up, then we can continue to the waterfalls. Ha, you might even catch an Eevee on the way and then you could evolve it into a Vaporeon when you get a water stone," he replied laughing lightly.
"That would be nice, except water stones are supposed to be hard to find," Misty thinking what it would be like to have a Vaporeon.
"Ok, heres a better thought, you could just catch a Vaporeon when we're at the waterfalls, then you don't have to worry about getting a water stone," Ash said hoping she would like this suggestion better.
"Yeh, that would be nice," She said, yawning again.
