I know that it took me forever to get this chapter done. But I had other stories to do, and College doesn't exactly make things easier for me either. Also, this is actually a newer version of this chapter, since the original was gone when my hard drive crashed. Anyway, here's the next chapter…

Chapter 11: Evilution

"What's going on?"

"What's happening to my Zigzagoon?"

"Why is this happening?"

Those cries were very simliar to the ones Viki, J.C., and Rei were hearing as they waited in line to enter the Pokemon center! All of their Pokemon, for some reason, were in the same situation as Vivi, Viki's, much to the dismay of J.C and, when he eventually finds out, Rex, newly purchased Feebas.

"You say that your Pichu just collasped?" Viki asked a young pigtailed girl who couldn't be any older than 12.

"Yeah..." She sniffed. "We were just walking in the park, and Pichu just collasped. I don't know how! She was doing fine a minute ago..."

"This is bad...real bad..." J.C. said, as he noticed a Lotad, Seedot, and an Electrike barely standing. "And it seems to be effecting the pre evolved Pokemon. That's the brutal part!"

Rei blinked. "Just what are you talking about J.C.?"

"Viki, if you don't mind, would you just send out one of your pokemon? Anyone but Josephine?" J.C. asked.

"Are you crazy? No way!" Viki outright refused. "Why don't you ask your girlfriend over there!" She pointed to Rei.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" J.C. snapped at the dirty blonde.

"Yeah!" Rei added.

"Just send out a Pokemon..." J.C. pleaded.

Viki sighed as reached for a Pokeball. As much as it went against her better judgement, she grabbed the ball. "Swift, come on out!" Viki tossed the ball as it then opened. Swift flew upward like a soaring eagle! However, it came crashing down like flaming duck! "Swift!" Viki cried as she went to check on her Pidgeotto before turning a cold look towards J.C. "Well I hope you're satisfied!"

"So it does affect 2nd stage evolution Pokmeon..." J.C. concluded.

"So you risked the well-being of my Pidgeotto just so you can test out your stupid theories?"

"I have to agree, that was pretty cruel..." Rei frowned.

"Okay, my bad...sorry!" J.C. apologized.

Viki held up the Pidgeotto's pokeball. "Swift re-" She was then shocked by the flash that was emitting from Swift. "turn?"

"You have to be kidding me!" J.C. exclaimed.

"No way!" Rei added.

"Good thing I recalled Drego and Charex before the battle..." Rex sighed as he and Aurora looked at their Pokemon that were in pain. Especially Edge and Spheal. What was happening to their Pokemon was somewhat familiar...but how it was familiar escaped him at the moment...

"When my Delibird predicted an attack, he wasn't kidding..." Aurora commented. "Talk about irony..."

"I doubt that Future sight has anything to do with this..." Rex disagreed. "It was just a coincidence. This is entirely a differnt story. It's definitely not like someone shot four tranquilizer darts at our Pokemon..."

"Don't be so sure. We do get Poachers..." Aurora informed. "Rico the Pokemon Hunter was just one of the worst..."

"Nonetheless...this seems all familiar, it's like-" It just hit Rex. Didn't he read in the Johto Journal a year ago about an even that happened in Mahogany Town about some Inducement Wave that was the cause of Pokemon feeling pain as well as a Magikarp evolving into a Red Gyarados? If this was anything like that... "Aurora..."

She blinked. "Yeah, Rex?"

"Return your Pokemon, now!" Rex took out the Pokeballs that usually contained Edge and Brute.

"What are you saying?" The Red-haired girl asked.

"Return your Pokemon right now before-" Rex's warnings were too late as Edge and Spheal began to glow. "They start to evolve..."

Aurora's eyes went wide. She did wanted her Spheal to evolve to be stronger. But not like this. Not where he'd have to go through so much pain...

"Just like in Mahogany Town..." Rex said silently as the glow disappeared. Gone were the Croconaw and Spheal that were with the Machamp and Cloyster. In their place were a Feraligatr and a Sealeo.

"If there is a bright side to it, it'd be that we get evolved Pokemon." Rex sarcastically said as he went to Edge. "How ya feeling?" The newly-evolved Feraligatr tried to speak, but as it opened its jaws, it fainted. "Oh no, Edge!"

"My Sealeo's haven't moved at all." Aurora cried as seal-like Pokemon's eyes were shut.

"So Aurora, know the quickest way to a Pokecenter?" Rex asked as he and Aurora recalled their Pokemon.

"Well…eheheh…" Aurora chuckled nervously.

"Please tell me you know your way around in this forest…" Rex sighed, hoping that Aurora's actions didn't mean what he thought it mean.

"Actually…you see…I don't. Why, do you?" Aurora simply said, much to Rex's chagrin.

Rex rolled his eyes, "If I did, would I ask you?"

"Alright, don't be so grouchy…" Aurora sighed, "So are we lost?"

"Doy!" Rex was beginning to get frustrated. He had a Machamp and a newly-evolved Feraligatr, both in serious pain from the effects of what it was. And was stuck with a girl who's supposedly from Hoenn but didn't know anything about this forest, who had a Cloyster and a newly-evolved Sealeo to take care of herself. Now they would have to find a way out, or else… "Okay Connelly think…" He said to himself, trying to remember the way he came into the forest.

"I know!" Aurora chirped, "That target I made when I took my Pokemon out to train! All we need to do is find that, and leaving here should be a snap!"

"Okay then, you go one way and I go another!" Rex suggested.

Aurora shook her head. "Then what if one of us finds the way and the other doesn't?"

Rex dug into his shirt pocket and pulled out a bag of M&M's. They were the Crispy kind in the blue package. He proceeded to tear the paper wrapper and empty half of its contents before giving the rest to Aurora. "Okay, take these M&M's and place one of them down so we'll have a trail to lead back to if one of us finds the exit.

Aurora smirked, "Good plan, Hansel!"

Rex mock laughed in response, "Very funny. Do you want out or do you like being in the wilderness?"

She snickered, "Okay…good luck to the both of us!" Aurora said as she then walked off in one direction.

"Okay…let's find a way out of here!" Rex said as he began to go off as well, but in the opposite direction. "Let's hope that at least one of us does…I wonder how Vik and J.C. are doing…"

"Okay…did my Pidgeotto evolved just now?" Viki asked as she looked at Swift, now a Pidgeot, both in shock and horror. "Okay, now we're definitely into Weirdville.

"I knew it…" J.C. concludes, "An Evolution Inducement Wave is causing all of this! Just like that incident back at Mahogany Town!"

"Then that means…" Rei said as more Pokemon began to glow brightly, much to their owners' shock.

"If you always wanted an evolved Pokemon…this is your lucky day!" J.C. sarcastically said as the glows disappeared, in the place of the Pokemon were their evolved forms. For Example, a Donphan, a Linoone, and a Mightyena were in the place of a Phampy, a Zigzagoon, and a Poochyena.

After recalling her newly-evolved Pidgeot, Viki took out a pink Mobile phone, much to the shock of J.C. and Rei.

"You had a cell phone?" J.C. asked in shock.

Viki nodded as she went to dial the numbers. "Hopefully he took it with him…" The phone indicated that she got in touch with the mobile of the person who she tried the call. Now she hoped that he had it with him.

Rex continued on his path as he dropped M&M's within every other step. He couldn't help but wonder how Aurora was doing, if she had found a way out. The M&M's idea was a bit risqué since some of the Pokemon tended to eat the food dropped by people, but with the Evolution Inducement Wave, at least he wouldn't have to worry about that.

Rex then heard a ringing sound from his side. He looked over and saw his jet-black mobile. "Who'd be calling at a time like this?" He took out his cell phone as he then felt something else in addition. Rex grabbed that as well as he then scoffed, mostly at his foolishness. "Oh my god…Duh!" That "something else" was his Pokenav! Why didn't he think about it before, otherwise he and Aurora would've been out of the forest and at the Pokemon Center by now?

Rex went ahead and answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Rex?"

"Viki? What's up?"

"Something's making everyone's Pokemon ill! J.C. says it's some type of-"

"Evolution Inducement Wave?" The redhead cut her off.

"How do you-"

"Let's just say that I'm now the proud owner of a Feraligatr!"

"You mean that Edge evolved?"

"That's exactly what happened. And it couldn't come at a worst time. I was in a middle of a Gym Battle?"

"Gym Battle!?"

"Yeah, in a forest. It's a long story… Now I gotta find her and tell her that I found a way out!"

"Oh…so it's a her, is it?"

"Viki, I don't have time for your teasing." Rex said sternly. "I'll tell you about it later."

"Oh come on, tell-"

Rex hung off as he now rushed back on the M&M trail he had left, "If there's any justice, Aurora hasn't gotten far…"

Viki placed her phone back in her purse as Rei looked towards the dirty-blonde.

"Well?" She asked.

"He's in a forest." She said. "He told me that he was in a Gym battle."

"That quick? I don't' believe it." J.C. said as he then pondered. "If the Evolution Inducement wave's purpose is to evolve Pokemon in to stronger counterparts, then what would happen if the Pokemon couldn't evolve any further?"

"Then I guess the Pokemon would either be unaffected or something worse…" Viki gave the ebony-haired trainer a glare. "And if you want to test out your theories, use your own damn Pokemon!"

"Okay, calm down!" J.C. held up his hands. "I think we better visit Nurse Joy about this first before we decide to sent out our fully-evolved Pokemon out." However, as soon as he said that, the door to the Pokemon center was closed and locked. "Okay…that plan's out."

"It must've been packed with so much Pokemon that Nurse Joy couldn't handle all of them…" Rei sighed. "I guess we're on our own!"

Rex had since made it back to square one as he was now following Aurora's path of M&M. "She's going to slap me, that's for sure…" He thought, imagining her reaction when he told her about his Pokenav. As he continued the trail…he stopped when he saw the bag. The same bag of M&Ms that he had given to her before they went their separate ways…

"Either she got hungry…or something's happened…" Rex then heard his mobile phone ring once again. After he grabbed it and found out who was calling, he sighed as he answered… "What now Viki?"

"Rex the Pokemon Center's closed!" She informed him.

Rex blinked, "What? Impossible!"

"I'm serious! Nurse Joy has taken in so many Pokemon that the Center can't handle anymore!"

"Great…" He sighed as he took out his Pokenav and checked the map. From his current position, he was between Oldale Town and Petalburg City. "There's another Pokemon Center in Petalburg!"

"The Pokemon Center there could be just as packed, if not more than this one!"

Rex nodded, "True, but if there was any justice, there'll be enough space for our Pokemon to be checked out!" What he did not noticed was a shadowy figure sneaking up from behind... "Anyways, I gotta get back to finding Aurora!"

"Aurora…your girlfriend?" She asked slyly.

"For the last time Viki, she's not my-GAH!" Rex took a blow on the back of the head by a 2x4 as the only glance he got before he fell unconscious was a man with a lanky build.

"Rex what's wrong? Rex? Rex? REX!?" Viki panicked as his mobile was picked up from the ground by his assailant…

"I'm sorry, but your brother is indisposed at the moment!" Viki heard a snake-like voice hissed as she then heard the sound of the phone braking.

"Oh no…"

That's it for this chapter! What will happen to Rex? And where is Aurora? And who is responsible for the Evolution Inducement Wave? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
