Spirits P.O.V
Waking up from my nightmare, I panted heavily as I looked around I saw Soul at the edge of my bed.
"Soul? Did you stay overnight?" I asked
"Mnnnnmn… what? Oh, morning Spirit…what did you say?" Soul said half asleep. I snickerd at Souls half-asleep voice because it was a moan followed by words that sounded groggy.
"Did you stay the night in the hospital?" I asked once more.
"Oh, uh ,yeah I guess I did…" Soul said laying his head back down.
"But why? I mean, you could've just gone home and fight your battles today, right?" I asked with an unsure tone.
"But what kind of friend would I be then, I left my best friend in a hospital alone, said while I was out fighting in a tourtament?" Soul said to me with a smile on his face.
"Go on Soul, I'll be fine, go fight in the tourtament." Winking my eyes at him, he hopped of the bed, putting his paws on the cold, hard floor.
"Well…...alright, I'll be back to see you after the battle, I hope you know that. And you'll be discharged sometime today remember? And that's just enough to finish the last match against whoever wins." With that, he wisped out of the room, to get to the match on time.
"Huh… I guess he really does care for me…." by that time I had already fell asleep.

Souls P.O.V
The doors slid open as I exited the Center, leaving Spirit behind. It was a beautiful day out, flowers were blooming, birds were singing, but it didn't matter.
Dashing to the battlefield with only a few seconds left, I was running out of breath for the battle. Leaves gently fell down through the forest as I made a run for the field. I could see it, it was just a moments grasp away before I arrived, I ran even faster, my legs were a blur at this point. Digging my paws into the dirt to stop, I found myself standing by the bleachers in the battlefield. Everyone turned at my direction, cheering wildly as I looked around. Echos came from the microphone as Mayor Cinnamon started to announce the fight.
"FOR ROUND 2, WE HAVE OUR TWO LOCAL DEFENDERS! DAVID AND SOUL!"
"Oh goody… I…..don't…. even get a fiver….." I thought to myself Mayor Cinnamon gave a wink as we walked out onto the battlefield, taking our respective places.
"Hey Soul, do you need to take a fiver? I can wait." David interrogated.
"No," I was taking heavy breaths inbetween, I almost passed out before I finished."I'm fine, we can start when you're ready…."
"Well, if you say so…" David stood gallantly on all fours, letting the wind take his fur. Each stood, waiting for the announcement to start the fight, all was silent, none was stirring. Finally over the speaker, the Mayor announced the start of the battle. I almost glided over the battlefield with the speed I was going at, meeting in the middle. Releasing a dark pulse, it was countered with a blaze of fire from flamethrower. Dark red and blue orbs then floated around the field, a mixture between the two attacks. Returning back on his feet, David rushed back at me and tried to tackle me.
"Damn, he's faster than I am, but I'm stronger than him." I thought to myself.
Pure force dug into my body, as he tackled me to the ground.
"God damn!"
Quickly I charged up a payback, to sweep him off his feet. Orbs gathered around us as began to get up, switching positions with David. Shooting down at the two, orbs collected on them, exploding as they all came into one space.
"Arghhhhhhh….." Davis eyes began to glow a furious red. Somehow, some way, I knew he wasn't joking. Grabbing me from on top of him, he jumped in the air and slammed me to the ground. I could feel my bones cracking in my body, each and every snap I heard. Limping up to David, I prepared a dark pulse followed by a wish for me.
"Almost, I can see him, he's on edge, just waiting for me to attack… it's as if…...that's it." I thought to myself.
Releasing the dark pulse I had built up inside, David had already been rushing behind, trying his best to get behind me. Healing myself afterwards, David had been standing right in front of me, blasting fire. Every minute I spend in that inferno attack, I could feel myself getting burned, and if I didn't escape, I would definitely feel the after effects of its wrath.
"I have to find a way out of here!" Scanning my surroundings, I found an opening in the top that could only be reached by maybe a pidgeot, not an Umbreon though.
"I can't do that, but maybe if I could dig a hole, I could wait out the inferno and surprise David….." Ferociously digging into the earth, I tried to dig a hole as fast as I could, to avoid getting third degree burns. Once the flames dissipated, no one was to be seen. The only trace left behind from me, was the dirt left in the circle. Each inch I had to fight for, the dirt in my eyes, it was all necessary to sneak up on David.
"Where is he?!" David started to get angry, waving his tail around angrily.
"Now, it's now or ever…." Launching from my dirt covered tomb, I jumped out of the air and into the tree. David had watched me come out, but never could he find me.
"WHERE ARE YOU SOUL!" David was growing more angry by the second, almost destroying the battlefield looking for Me.
"Now, just wait for him to tire out….."
Looking around the battlefield, he must've saw me out of the corner of his eye.
"Where are you….." he said in an erie voice, signifying he knew where I was.
Spinning around, he unleashed a flamethrower that would roast a chicken if it touched it.
"Woah!" I nimbly lowered myself from the trees by catching the branch with my hind legs, avoiding his attack at all costs.
"Damn…..this feels like a gym leader Battle…" I thought. Millions of tiny little embers flew in the air, each little one was burning me, before snap! The tree branch broke and I plummeted to the ground.
"Phoo…. damn leafs in my mouth, that's what I get for staying up there that long." One final breath of air before I launched myself at David With great integrity, He then did another flamethrower, and ducked every ember that came my way. About 20 feet away from him, I realized my plan was finally taking a toll on David.
"All is according to plan, he's tiring himself out….." Gripping the tail of David, I threw him up in the air.

Davids P.O.V
Levitating, almost. I was gliding through the air, falling into Souls trap. Trying to gain my balance and release a ember, or something, or anything for the matter of fact just so I could soften the blow Soul was going to dish out. But all failed as Soul delivered a double kick to my face. Flying across the field like a football, I managed to turn myself over and grip the ground with my bare paws.
"I won't go out like this…." Fighting to get up, I fell down, but I got up again….
-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-
Back to normal…
Soul was surprised at David, he was rushing torward's him when a light,red flame engulfed his body.
"Two can play at that game David." Rushing torward's David, Soul was now engulfed with a purple black light. When the two meeted, the attacks kicked up dust as the crowd erupted with cheers.
"PEPOLE! THIS IS INCREDIBLE! TOWN LOCALS DAVID AND SOUL ARE STILL GOING! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" Cinnamon screeched over the microphone.
"Still going I see, you trying to impress Jenny?" Soul asked
"Nah, I could do this all day Soul… don't take it easy on me, I need the workout, cause beating you is just moments away….." David swung his tail torward's Souls feet, who jumped over it like a jump rope.
"Nighty night David… good battle, but not quick enough…." Souls rings began to glow as Davids eyes slowly began to close as he murmured something under his breath.
"I…..I…..I'll….i….get you….back for…..this….ZZZZZZZZZZZZ" drifting off to sleep, Soul exited the battlefield just as Cinnamon announced the winner of the battle.
"AND THE WINNER IS….. SOUL!" Erupting with cheer, Soul gave one last smirk before going back to the hospital.

Souls P.O.V
Walking up to the hospital, I saw Lune attending the front desk again.
"Hey Lune, Jenny and Spirit any better?" I asked
"Yes, there doing much better, Jenny should be released by tommorow. And Spirit can go as soon as she wakes up."
"Thank you Lune." Almost about to erupt with excitement, I kept it to myself.
Strolling into the hospital room, I saw Spirit was asleep.
"Hmmm….. I think I'll just sit in the chair till she wakes up…." With that, I drifted of to sleep as my head was against the cold, hard wood.

Spirits Dream
"Will….." it was an awkward moment between the two, before "Will" spoke again. "I can't believe I actually found an Espeon in Viridian forest! I mean, this is pure luck!" He took out a red and white ball out of his book bag, pushing it torward's Spirit.
"Now this will only take a moment….." each inch the ball got closer, I grew more terrified, I knew what this contraption was. Pokeball, is what it's called I think.
I dashed away from Will and ran for my life.
"Come back! I'm only trying to help!" My muscles grew tired as I wished through the forest, but it all came to a stop when I saw the vines….
Each time I saw vines in real life, or in dreams, they were always annoying. Trying to baddie through them, I was stopped as they wrapped around my legs, preventing me from running.
"Don't worry little Espeon…. I'll be your best friend….." casting shadows over the forest as my Dream was now complete darkness, no "Will" or Soul, or anybody for that matter of fact. Echos cried around the room as her own thoughts started to mock her.
"Why won't you?"
"Why can't you?!"
"Why didn't you?!"
"Do it before its to late!"
"It'll never happen, lets face the facts….."
"WHY?!"
"Why won't you do it Spirit?!"
"Do it now or live with the regret…..the choice is yours."
Suddenly they stopped as I screamed as loud as I could, breaking the echos.

The Hospital Room
Back to normal
6:00 pm
Soul was woken up by the shout of Spirit, it sounded like she could shatter windows with her piercing scream.
"Spirit!" Soul rushed to her side, cuddling up against Spirit, to ensure she's alright.
"What happened Spirit?" Spirit started to cry, signaling for Soul to stop asking.
"Hey, stop crying Spirit." Using his paw, he wiped up the tears off of Spirits face. As she stopped crying, she fell into Souls chest, and started to sigh as she went back to sleep.
"Man…. something's wrong with Spirit….."
He slowly started to put her down, starting to go back to his chair and drift on to sleep.
"Jesus, I wonder what was wrong with her….."
Three hours later.
Spirit woke up seeing Soul fell asleep in the chair. Hopping out of the bed, she exited the hospital room, heading torward's the front desk.
"Hey Lune, am I ready to go?" Spirit asked.
"Yes, you and Soul are ready to leave at any time you choose."
"Thank you Lune, now if you excuse me, I have to go get Soul."
Trailing back to the room, she went over to Soul and picked him up.
"Hghhhhh… your heavy Soul….." she thought to herself. Heaving him out of the room, he started to moan and groan as she carried him.
"Oops, sorry….." Spirit continued on through the forest, minutes away from the den.
"You know, I never thought that you would stay at the hospital… if anything, I thought you didn't care that much….but you proved me wrong today."
Soul smiled as he layed back to sleep, leaving Spirit to her thoughts. Arriving back at the cave, Spirit walked back to the bed and layed Soul down under his sheets and blankets.
"Hgnnnnn…..When did I come back? Spirit?" Soul had heard what was said before, he was just pretending to wake up.
"Oh,uh, hi Soul! I didn't think you would be up so soon…...I carried you back from the Center because I got released early…" Spirits face was blushing a bright cherry red but hid it by turning away.
"Hey, why did you not wake me up and make me walk?"
"I...uh...I…" Spirit was coming up with nothing to say, and therefore blushed an even brighter red.
"Ahh…. nevermind, everyone has there reasons….." Soul had then gotten up out of the bed, and walked over to Spirit.
"You know, ever since I found you… you've made my life exciting. Thank you for that Spirit, your the bestest friend I could ever have."
"Soul….I….I…...Thank you for that….."
Spirit ran over to Soul, tackling him to the ground and hugging him.
"Thank you, I really needed that." Giggling, she got of Soul, hopping up on the bed.
"So, what happened during the battle today? Who won?" Spirit asked Soul.
"It's like a clear memory, what happened was I ran from your room to the battlefield, venturing on, I saw David on the other side of the field. After that, all hell broke loose as he disabled my dark pulse with his flame attack, tackiling me to the ground, I was able to use payback on him to double the damage he did to me. Returning to his feet, as I released a dark pulse again while healing myself. An inferno of flames surrounded me as I tried to figure out what I was supposed to do, I dug under and hid there for awhile while David looked for me."
"Wow… sounds like an intense battle today….."
"Believe me, it was done to the bone. After I dug my way out and jumped into the trees, trying to hide myself from him. David spotted me and pretended like he didn't notice me, but turned around and used flamethrower on the branch, snapping it, and letting me plummet to the cold hard ground…."
Spirit gritted her teeth as visual image of Soul smacking the ground popped into her head. She could hear his bones snapping, every single sound was so vivid and clear, Spirit felt like she was there.
"Why?! Why am I able to relive….Souls…...moments… he's a dark type, he's immune to psychic type moves…"
Figuring out what just happened, Soul paused for a moment, confronting the Espeon.
"Hey….. you alright there Spirit? Cause you look distressed….." Soul started to cuddle up with Spirit, to make her feel better.
"Oh, uh, yeah I'm fine…" Leaning away from Soul, she moved to the other side of the bed.
"Spirit….if something's bothering you….just let me know, I'm always going to be there for you…" Soul grinned at Spirit from across the bed.
"But you were saying about the battle?"
"Oh, right. Basically after I fell, I realized my plan was working and taking a toll on David."
"What was your plan exactly?"
"Well, as you know I've always been better as defense and attack while David relies on speedy attacks, not giving his opponents a chance to attack. So my plan was to ware him Down to the point he was at my speed. So, I got up close and personal with him. Once I double kicked him, he got right back at me and used flame charge just like Jenny did. When I charged at him with using feint attack. When the attacks canceled out, David tried to sweep me off my feet with his tail, but only gave me an opportunity to use hypnosis on him. Leaving him asleep in the battlefield, I left and went straight to you."
"Wow… Soul…. you left the battlefield, just to see me?"
Soul nodded in return to her question, letting Spirit know.
"I told you, I would come right back after the battle. I wasn't lying when I said that Spirit."
Spirit was stunned by his steely eye gaze, and almost swooned at his look. But she didn't because she didn't know if he liked her or not.
"So, do you have any idea who the match ups for tommorow is?"
"Well, I believe your fighting….what was it….. ahh! It was a Zorark. And I'm fighting…...oh god no…"
Freezing in his words, he felt like he'd rather be hit by a train than battle what was before him.
"I'm battling the champion Luke."
"No! I mean, won't you have to battle me first?!"
"No, only girls fight girls and boys fight boys. That's why you and Jenny got paired. And since there aren't that many girls fighting this year, there are only two rounds in the girls pre limbs. Meaning tommorows battle wins for both of us."
"But what's so bad about Luke?"
"He can mega evolve into Mega Lucario, and fighting against dark is not a good match up type. Plus, he's faster and stronger than me! When he mega evolves, he doubles evreything except defense, that's his only weakness. If I could find a way to use it against him though….. ehhh, maybe I'll come up with something tommorow." Stretching his legs out, he layed under the covers and said his good nights to Spirit.
"Goodnight Soul." Spirit then joined Soul under the covers, wrapping her tail around his body.
"I love you Soul…. I just hope you realize it soon….." Spirit murmured under her breath, to make sure Soul didn't hear.
