Vokteren: I'm sorry that it has taken a long time before this chapter but I
just couldn't get access to the computer.
Pikachu: And the few times you got it you didn't write on the story.
Vokteren: Pikachu? Can't you tell me about what reviews we have gotten?
Pikachu: Ok. (checks then comes back) We've gotten three reviews. Two from Zero Quickblade and one, chouchwithslightlybadgrammarcouch, from Lise.
Vokteren: Don't be so rude. You didn't need to mention that. Anyway, where is this chapter going to take place?
Pikachu: At aqua Rock. Only one vote and that was on Rainbow.
Vokteren: Ok. I'll just answer the reviews and then the story starts.
Zero Quickblade: Thanks for voting. I'm happy that my story suited your taste. I hope that you'll continue to review.
Lise: Thanks for reviewing my story. I hope you get time to finish reading it soon.
Pikachu: "We don't own Golden Sun or Pokemon but we do "own" a girl they meet in this chapter"
"Verbal communication" ¤thoughts¤ [thought transference] (A/N: Author Note) (P/N: Pika Note)
"They are headed for either Apojii Islands or Aqua Island right south of it. I'm not totally sure seeing that it is about five days travel there but I'm sure they'll head for Apojii Islands first" Ivan answered.
"Great work Ivan. Thanks a lot. Oh, I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. I was just so disappointed to find out that they had left right before we got there and I let out my anger at you. I'm really sorry" Isaac said, before turning to Garet and scolding him for giving the tiller to Ivan. Ivan just gave Isaac a short thank before running below deck, wisely avoiding getting caught in a discussion between Isaac and Garet.
Mia also knew that she should disappear so she headed to the other side of the ship, where Torchic and Skitty had fallen asleep by the gentle Rocking of the ship. She had hoped to follow Ivan because he was shouting in his sleep. She couldn't make out much from what she heard except that he had seen four young children, two girls and two boys, which were dissimilar and comparable at the same time.
On the top of the tower that was in the middle of the ship, two small creatures talked together while helping the other to take a look over the edge. Right now the yellow mouse where holding the brown fox up while the fox, known as Eevee, looked after any sign of land. Finally Pikachu couldn't take any more and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. She wasn't used to doing things that required physical strength. Eevee sat down beside her and let Pikachu rest her head on his shoulder.
[This is so exciting] Eevee said. [I've always dreamt about sailing in a ship but I'd never imagined that it would be like this]
[Personally I've had a little more excitement over the couple days than I think I can handle] Pikachu replied.
[Pikachu?]
[Hm?]
[I just wondered why you haven't told the humans what I told you. You know, what I said when we first met. I said you could do it.] Eevee's eyes were glittering in the bright sun as he stared at his friend, waiting for her answer.
Pikachu took a deep breath and replied. [I don't want to confuse them. What you told me was both shocking and confusing. It was hard enough to believe that you were just playing with that Dino, but if I told them that she saved you and Torchic from one of her own kind they will surely think that I've gone mad]
[But what I told you is true. She did save us right before that monster ate us, she took care of us and she was quite friendly with us. Although I also overheard her say that she shouldn't have saved us. She said that by saving us she could have brought about the end of the world as we know it. She didn't know that we heard what she said but she sounded sad. She talked about how she should have been more on her guard. But that was all I heard before I fell asleep from exhaustion.] Eevee said.
[How can saving you bring about the end of the world? I just] she stopped when she heard that someone was coming up the stairs.
"Here you are" said the blue haired girl named Mia. "I've looked everywhere on the ship for you, although I should have known that you'd be here"
[Do you know where we are going to sail? I hope it is Gaia Rock and Izumo because that place sounds cool] Pikachu replied enthusiastic.
"Sorry, we are sailing to Aqua Island and Apojii Islands first. Ivan said that was where Jenna, Sheba, Piers, Kraden and Felix are headed" Mia replied but quickly added that they were going to visit Gaia Rock when she saw the disappointed look on Pikachu's face.
[Mia, can't you lift me up so that I can see around? I want to be the first one to catch a glimpse of Aqua Rock] Eevee ran around Mia's feet so she could pick him up.
Mia laughed and explained that they wouldn't reach Aqua Rock before five days later, but she picked him up anyway. Pikachu headed down to the deck with the help of Zephyr the Jupiter Djinni. Zephyr had agreed to help the pokemon up and down from the tower and now she used her wind psynergy to blow Pikachu carefully down. Pikachu went down to her cabin and thought about the new information she had acquired.
¤How can Eevee and Torchic end the world? It doesn't make sense, although Torchic can be a bit violent at times she would never do something like bringing forth an Apocalypse¤ Pikachu thought about that until she finally fell asleep.
The next days were pretty much the same. Isaac and Garet did three things, ate, slept and kept a steady course. Ivan avoided the others as much as possible because he didn't want any questions about his weird dream. Mia tried to get Ivan alone so that she could talk to him about his dream, but she didn't have any success. Skitty and Torchic slept most of the time since they didn't have much to do and they couldn't stay awake with the gentle rocking of the ship. Eevee either sent monsters stupid enough to board the ship flying, or he rushed around trying to make time pass. Pikachu did all the cooking and since she was a vegetarian herself she only made vegetarian food, much to Garet's dismay. He complained until Pikachu said that if he didn't like her food then she didn't need to make him food. He kept his mouth shut after that.
When they finally arrived they were at Apojii Islands. The sun had jut gotten up and Eevee was overjoyed about seeing Aqua Rock in al its beauty. They got on land but quickly found out that Felix and friends had left for Aqua Rock already. They hurried after, but when they came there Jenna and the others had gone already. When they set sail they saw that rainbow colored water flowed from Apojii Islands. They decided to investigate that but when they came there Sheba and co had already traveled to Aqua Rock.
"Come on, we must hurry" Isaac said. "If we can get to Aqua Island before they leave we have them"
The others weren't as enthusiastic so Isaac got ahead of them when they heard him scream. They rushed towards him and found him in a deep animal pit. He had twisted his ankle and had a hard time standing. Garet tried to reach for him from the edge but he only fell into to. They heard a snap sound when he landed on his right arm, and they know that he had broken something.
"How do you think we are going to get them up?" Mia asked.
"I've no idea. All of our rope is back at the ship and leaving them here would be like spelling their doom. Besides we don't have time. When the darkness falls we'll be unable to help them" Ivan said.
The pokemon just looked at one another with a secretive smile before rushing towards a lone tree close by. They broke of some branches and made a strong pole of it. The pole was planted near the hole and Eevee tied his hail around the pole and grabbed Torchic in one foot. Torchic used her free foot to get a good grip around Pikachu's tail and pikachu held tight in Skitty's tail. Mia and Ivan realized that they were making a living rope that Garet and Isaac could use to get up.
When Isaac and Garet were saved they found out that they couldn't continue tonight. Garet's arm was broken and Isaac could barely walk on his left foot. They had to sleep over at the inn so that Isaac and Garet could regain maximum of their strength.
The next morning Mia woke up early. The others were asleep except for Eevee who was standing next to the water stone in the middle of the island. She headed over to Eevee and sat down. Eevee looked up to see who it was and smiled when he saw Mia. Of all the humans in their group Mia was the one he liked the most.
"Good morning Eevee" Mia said as she sat down on the cold ground. The sunlight reflected of the water and made her hair shine.
[Good morning Mia] Eevee replied. [I'm just sitting here, admiring this stone. Of all the four basic elements water is my favorite. When, if I evolve I hope I get to be a Vaporeon]
"Evolve? Vaporeon?" Mia was confused. "What do you mean by that?"
[Haven't Pikachu told you?] Eevee asked. He continued when he saw Mia's slight head shake. [We pokemon sometimes change our shape when we reach a certain level of battle experience. Others evolve when exposed to the raw energy of either the sun, the moon, plants, electricity, fire or water. This energy is trapped inside stones and if a pokemon that evolved by being exposed to the energy of the stones touch it, the pokemon changes shape and becomes a new pokemon. There is a final form of evolution progress. Some pokemon only evolve if they have a certain level of happiness. Pikachu evolved from Pichu because she had friends and family who loved her. I am actually special home. I can evolve into five different pokemon while most can only evolve into one new pokemon. The five forms depends on what energy stone I'm exposed to and if I evolve on day or night time]
"Interesting" Mia said. She had listened quietly and found it amazing that those small creatures that she was traveling with could change into new kinds of pokemon. "And Vaporeon is what you become if you are exposed to the energy of a water stone right?"
[Yepp] Eevee replied.
"How are your psynergy doing?" Mia asked her friend.
[I am making a little progress. Now I can freeze water and generate a small cloud of rainwater just by focusing. Here, let me show you]
Eevee stared towards the stone and a rain cloud appeared above the tear shaped stone. Small water droplets fell from the sky and wetted the stone. Suddenly it started glowing and the water around them became rainbow colored. They saw that the rainbow water was heading towards Aqua Island and refer with that this must be what they saw yesterday.
[That was awesome] said a female voice behind them [I didn't know you could do that Eevee]
Pikachu, Torchic and Skitty were standing behind them. Everyone was awestruck by Eevee's little presentation. Eevee went red as a tomato and suddenly got an interest for a tree that stood behind him.
"Are you ready to go to Aqua Island today. We must hurry if we are going to have any hope with catching up with Piers and his crew" Isaac shouted from the Inn.
Ivan and Garet had already finished packing their stuff and were heading for the ship. The others hurried after and two hours later they were standing in front of Aqua Rock. The statues that had blocked their path yesterday had moved backwards and now they proceeded to the top. Aqua Rock was smaller than Air's Rock and they reached the top pretty quick.
At the top they saw that a whirlpool was in the middle of a lake and stepping stones led towards it. Eevee tried it and found out that it led towards the interior of Aqua Rock. After going through the already solved puzzles of Aqua Rock they finally found their way to the inner chamber. The water in this room had split and the door to the room with the stone slate was clear.
When they entered the room Eevee suddenly collapsed on the floor and started glowing. Blue light flowed through the room and into Eevee's body that started glowing brighter and brighter. There was a great flash and where Eevee had stood seconds before there was now standing a bigger version of Eevee. The creature had blue skin and blue fins on its tail, around it's neck and on it's back. Eevee had evolved into a Vaporeon because of the water psynergy that filled this room.
Everyone, including Vaporeon, was shocked. Although the pokemon were happy as well. They knew that Eevee's biggest wish was that he one day was going to be a Vaporeon. Suddenly they heard laughter deeper into the room. Isaac gazed over the pit and saw something that almost made him faint. On the other side of the room Jenna was sitting. She looked a little smaller than last time he had seen her but that didn't matter. All he longed for was holding Jenna in his arms again.
He skipped over the stones as quickly as he could, the others came after as quick as they could when they heard Isaac scream and saw that he fell into the pit that was between them and the stone slate.
"Isaac? Are you alright?" Mia asked.
"I'm fine but there's something wrong with Jenna" Isaac answered.
"Sorry, but my name is not Jenna" Said the girl that looked like Jenna. She avoided eye contact
[If you're not Jenna then who are you? And why don't you look us in the eyes when you talk to us] Skitty asked.
"You don't want to see my eyes" the girl replied.
"Don't try to twist your way out of this. Let us see your eyes" Garet said.
"Okay" the girl said. She looked straight at them and everyone gasped for air. Her eyes glowed pink. "I told you that you didn't want to see my eyes"
[You still haven't told us why you look like Jenna and why you're here and who you are] Skitty said.
"My name is Rainbow, I look like Jenna because I wanted to and I'm here because I can't let you learn Parch before I've tested you" She replied.
"Are you like that guy who tested us in Air's Rock?" Ivan asked.
"Yes. I also know that you passed his test with top marks" she looked first at Isaac and Garet before adding. "Most of you"
"We are not afraid of your test and can't you do something about your eyes? They're freaking me out" Garet said.
"One sec" Rainbow replied. She closed her eyes and when she opened them they were just like normal brown eyes. "But before I'll test you I think I should help you"
She looked towards Garet and a rainbow appeared in her arm. It lashed out and enveloped his arm and when it disappeared the broken arm was totally cured. Then she summoned another rainbow, this enveloped everyone and when it faded away they were gone.
Vokteren: Another chapter is finished.
Pikachu: Vokteren? I've read a few stories on www.fanfiction.net and I've seen the word muse being used in some of them. What does that word mean?
Vokteren: A muse is something from the mythology and is sources of inspiration.
Pikachu: Ok. I wonder what being a muse would be like.
Vokteren: Anyway, this chapter is coming to an end. See you all next time.
Pikachu: And the few times you got it you didn't write on the story.
