Chapter 11: Full Moon

Point of View Black

"This is all your fault." Flare said to me in a depressed voice.

"How is this my fault?" I snarled back. I was in no way responsible for everything that happened. They followed me of their own free will when I told them to go back home.

"Because if haven't followed you, Kana may still be alive. This is all your fault. and now I've lost one of my closest friends because of you!" Flare yelled at me with intense fury. I have never seen Flare angry and it was very sad seeing someone like him this way.

"You followed me willingly when I told you to go back." I said in an attempt to defend myself. I did feel really guilty but this was something very personal I had to do, and he was just here for the ride.

"And you think I would have just let you wander off with some suspicious pokemon?" Flare continued to verbally accuse me of being responsible for Kana's death.

"Hey you two stop arguing! The jolteon is still alive, but she is just seriously injured. If she doesn't get help soon she will die." The charmander yelled from a distance.

"She's alive?" Flare froze with his jaw dropped.

"Yes, but she needs medical attention now." The charmander was now eager to help us.

"Charmander what the hell is this? You're on my side remember?" The quilava stated in a pissed off tone of voice.

"To hell with you, I'm no murderer." The charmander snapped on the quilava.

"You will regret betraying us charmander." The quilava said in a dark voice.

"Come with me fennekin. I'll take you to her, and we can get her to a poke center!" The charmander yelled. Flare didn't even hesitate to follow him even though I thought it could have been a trap.

"Where are you going traitor!" The quilava yelled as he began charging another flamethrower. I then saw that he was wide open and I charged up a quick shadow ball and launched it at him before he could release his flamethrower. He quickly realized that I was now attacking him again and he ducked below the shadow ball and it went into the construction building tearing up some of its support struts.

"Your fights with me pal. We have some unfinished business." I growled towards the psychopathic Quilava. I was not letting him harm anyone if I could help it.

"Fine then. I'll capture you now, and I will then hunt down every last one of your friends and eradicate them from this world." The quilava was now in the mood to fight me again. He then began walking towards me and then started running towards me and his claws ignited on fire. He then swiped his claws at me repeatedly. Time slowed down in my eyes, and I carefully maneuvered around each attack from his fiery claws. He then sent a really strong right hook punch towards me that I ducked under. I then launched myself off the ground and head butted him right in the jaw. He fell back onto the ground and held his jaw from the pain. I knew it hurt since I heard a satisfying crunch in his jaw when I hit it.

"You bitch!" He yelled in pure anger from the pain I caused him. He then pulled himself back up to his two feet and then got in a defensive position once again and began to smirk.

"Now I'm going to get serious umbreon. I'm sick of your feeble attempt of stopping the inevitable" The quilava said with a psychotic smile on his face.

"That has to be at least the fifth time you said you were now getting serious pal," I was right though he has repeatedly said he was getting serious and I was getting annoyed with him.

He then started spitting lava everywhere. I dodged the lava by the skin of my teeth. The whole construction site now had patches of lava everywhere and was now lit up. I won't lie this battle was getting pretty cinematic for reality. I also felt bad for the construction workers, this would be a huge surprise when they start work tomorrow morning. The quilava then began charging his flamethrower again and unleashed a hell storm of fire in my direction. Despite my efforts to dodge, the flames still barely singed my side. I cringed from the pain but I tried my hardest not to show it.

"How do the flames feel?" The quilava said in a taunting voice.

Now it was time for me to give it everything or I was going to lose this battle and be captured, if this guy even still planned on letting me live. I then began observing my surroundings and noticed a water tower about ten meters away from the quilava. I then began charging a shadow ball in my mouth again.

"No you don't!" The quilava said as he began charging another flamethrower. I launched my shadow ball straight at the water tower as the quilava released his flame thrower seconds after me. It then made a giant hole in the water tower and the water came flooding down and neutralized his flame thrower right before I was incinerated. The water flooded everything and now we were standing in a giant puddle of water.

The flames on the quilava back where now hardly even lit and flickered weakly on his back.

"How about I show you something cool before I kick your ass" I taunted with a growl in my voice.

The full moon was shining down upon me giving me power that was miraculous, a power that most wouldn't even think possible. One thing I had never told anyone was that I was not a normal umbreon. I was actually far from it.

The quilava sat there waiting for me to make my move. His flames had now regained their power and he was ready to fight. I began to concentrate my mind on the massive puddle of what around me. Particles of water now began to float around me.

"What the hell?" The quilava stated very confused at the sight he was seeing.

Then the floating water particles all came together and began to form into the shape of a spear and it began to turn into ice shortly after. I then used my mind to propel the ice spear at the Quilava. He didn't even think twice about jumping out of the way. I then manipulated the water I was standing on and sent a massive wave of water towards him that smashed into him really aggressively. He stood there in shock by the turn of events, the flames on his back where weak again but quickly went back to normal.

"What the hell is this bullshit?" The quilava yelled confused in fear.

He then began charging up another flamethrower. I braced myself for it. He then blew the flamethrower towards me. I jumped to the right side of the flames and then I began freezing the entire puddle of water. He was still sitting in the puddle of water so his feet were frozen to the ground.

"The Hell is this bullshit! What kind of trick is this?" The quilava was actually now starting to get nervous upon realizing that he couldn't defeat me anymore.

"I don't know who the hell this Mandus person is, but I do have a good idea why he wants me." I stated with a snarl in my voice.

"The hell is this crap? None of this makes sense!" The quilava's confusion was now turned into anger.

"Well if you must know I suffer from an evolutionary disorder that is extremely rare. It's a one in million chance that a pokemon is defected with it."

"What are you talking about?" The quilava said in confusion.

I sat there for a second thinking of a dumbed down version to tell the quilava since he didn't look like the smartest person on the planet. "Okay when an Eevee evolves its body dedicates to the certain attributes of the eevee evolution it turns into right?" I already knew the answer I just had to make sure he wasn't a complete moron before I explained this to him.

"Yeah I'm not a dumbass!" he yelled at me offended by my question.

"Well when an eevee evolves it evolves into a flareon, leafeon, sylveon, jolteon, glaceon, vaporeon, espeon or in my case and umbreon. Now when I evolved something went wrong."

The quilava stared at me waiting for me to continue as I thought of a good way to put it since it was somewhat complicated. "Okay so basically when I evolved something went wrong and I wasn't just stuck in the umbreon class. I am actually able to use abilities other eevee evolutions can use, for example the water I used on you. Although since my body isn't designed to produce those elements. I do have to find my own source of power instead of naturally just shooting fire out of my mouth like you can."

"Then why are you using this on me now out of all times?" He said annoyed with my previous actions.

"For one, I can only use this power during the full moon since it gives my body enough of a boost to actually use the abilities. Second, I didn't use it until now because I didn't want anyone knowing of my defect. But it's just me and you now so I'm not worried."

The quilava was now beginning to look very confused on our conversation and I began to question why I even explained it to him. "How come I've never heard of this? You're bullshitting me aren't you!" He now began yelling at me in denial.

"You haven't heard of it for a couple reasons. Let's say it like this, other eevee evolutions can get this evolutionary disorder but they won't even know it because they don't have something like the moon to give them power. Yes, things like the sun and water will give other eevee evolution power but none of it compares to the boost an umbreon gets from the moon. The moon is a superior source of power compared to others. The other reason you haven't heard of it is simply because umbreon's are slowly going extinct so of course it's becoming rarer of an evolutionary disease."

"I don't even understand half of this bullshit!" The quilava yelled with confusion all over his face.

"Why did I even bother explaining that to you?" I said giving up on my idiotic opponent.

The quilava then looked me in the eyes and then tried planning out his next move. I was going to just wait for him to make an attack since there was nothing he could really do to harm me since I could just use the puddle of water around me to neutralize it, at the moment I had a type advantage on him. He then opened his mouth wide and shot out a massive smokescreen at me. I couldn't see anything and on top of that I couldn't breathe. I then decided to run out of the smokescreen. Once I was out I noticed really quickly that the quilava had fled the battle. The ice where he was frozen was now melted and my enemy was now missing.

"Coward." I growled under my breath. I couldn't believe he got away. I was even more pissed since I just explained all that crap to him.

I then realized I needed to find Flare and Kana. I knew they would probably be by the nearest pokemon center. Luckily for me, we actually happened to pass one on the way towards the construction site. So, I then began running full speed towards the pokecenter assuming that was the right one.

I finally made it to the pokemon center. I quickly realized I was in the right one because Alex and Flare were sitting in the waiting area with worried looks on their faces. The charmander that had originally harmed Kana was sitting in the darkest corner of the room awkwardly. He shot a glance at me for a second and then looked away.

"Flare, is Kana okay?" I asked fearing the worse.

"No she's not. She is in critical care and it's your damn fault because you had to drag us into that situation!" Flare snarled at me with a hostile tone of voice. I have never seen him this angry before so I decided I was going to choose my words wisely to not further upset him.

"Flare, I'm sorry. I never meant for anyone to get hurt." I tried to reason with the angry fennekin. I truly did feel bad for getting Kana hurt and wished it had never happened.

"Well good job Black. You practically got her killed. Thanks, you did such a great job." His words were now actually beginning to offend me and I was never good at letting people just sit there and yell at me.

"I told you guys not to come but you did! I didn't want anyone to get hurt, but you know what that's just what happens sometimes!" I lost my patience I was not in the mood for this after all that has happened today. Everyone in the room was now awkwardly staring at Flare and I argue but I didn't give a damn.

"My Mew, Gray was right. You are nothing but a problem for everyone." His words were very cold and actually touched a nerve in my heart. I couldn't believe he went that far and that actually really was going too far.

"You know what? Fuck you and all your complete bull shit! You have absolutely no idea what I have been through in the past two years of my life. You want me gone so bad? Fine! I'll leave you alone forever and never speak to you again. Would that make you happy?" I was as angry as angry gets at this point and I was about ready to actually kill my supposed friend.

"Black there was no justifiable reason for what you did! Couldn't you have just walked away from him? Flare continued to verbally assault me when he has no idea what any of that stuff was about.

No, I couldn't have walked away from that!" I snarled at Flare as I began gritting my teeth together in frustration.

"Oh, and why the hell not? Because you are an idiot that only thinks of himself?"

"You know nothing, Flare! So shut up! You have no idea what those pokemon have done to my life!" I was done being treated like shit by my friend, so I began to walk away from him and towards the charmander in the corner of the room. He was startled when I walked up towards him.

"You know where Vincent is. Now bring me to him and no bullshit this time!" The charmander froze at my demands.

"Uh… Okay, I will bring you to him. But I need you to understand that I was forced to do that, and I wanted no part in what just happened. I'm truly sorry, honest." The charmander actually did sound really sorry but I only had one thing on my mind right now and that was far from his apologies.

"I don't care, just take me to him."

We then both ran out the door and began heading towards Vincent's real location. I just pray for that charmander's sake this is the real deal, or he is going to miss his legs when I'm done with him.

Point of View Flare

I sat their worrying about Kana praying that she would be okay. I also thought about my argument with Black, was it really worth getting that mad about? He did hurt Kana but he did seem to know this Vincent pokemon. I continued to get frustrated with those thoughts and I attempted to rid my head of them.

We waited for about two hours before the nurse finally called Alex "Mr. Alex Hayter you may now see your pokemon. Just be gentle with her. She is still in bad shape." The lady at the front desk said from across the room. Alex quickly got up and started walking quickly towards Kana's room. I followed behind him, afraid of what I was about to see. We finally found her room and entered.

There in a pokecenter bed was a jolteon covered in bandages and hooked up on a heart monitor and other machines. The bandages covered most of her torso and some of her face as well.

I stood there in shock. I couldn't bear to see her in this state. I couldn't bear to see someone so innocent suffer for someone else's actions. My rage for Black started to return as I looked at my injured friend. I just wish this was all a dream but I knew it wasn't

Alex was also just as shocked as me. Although he chose to walk up to her and get a closer look. He looked mentally destroyed from the site he saw. I could see tears beginning to roll down his eyes. Kana has always been someone in both of our lives for a very long time. She was always cheerful and always wanted everyone around her to be happy. She didn't deserve this. Not her out of all pokemon. It should be me in that bed now, not her.

"Flare." I heard her weak voice call out to me.

"Kana. you're awake. How do you feel?" I asked anxiously dying to know how she was.

"I've had better days." That was a huge understatement.

"Kana, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I should have never left you alone to fight that charmander. I'm so sorry." I was now beginning to cry from the guilt of realizing that his was not Blacks fault it was mine for leaving her to fight alone with that charmander.

"It's not your fault" There was then a long silence in between her sentences. "It was no ones."

"How can you say that, I left you to fight that charmander all alone when I should have been there to help you." I could no longer hold in my tears and a few slowly escaped my eyes.

"Flare you shouldn't beat yourself up. I know you're just looking for a way to justify me getting injured but it's not your fault, and even if it was I would never ever hold it against you for even a second." She had a weak smile on her face but it was enough to boost my spirits and put a smile on my face. Even when she was in her worst condition she could still make everyone around her happy.

"Flare, where is Black? Why isn't he here?" Kana asked with a worried voice.

I paused in silence as I remembered how I provoked Black to never speak to any of us again. "I... I blamed Black for everything, and I made him go away." I now felt like absolute garbage for treating Black the way I did.

"You need to find him." She then began taking a few deep breaths to help herself speak. "And set things right. You can't blame this on him, this wasn't his fault and he needs to know that."

"You're right, but he left hours ago, and I don't know where he went." I now realized how bad I screwed up. I may have seriously just lost one of my friends because I couldn't react appropriately to this situation.

"Well what are you doing here then? You need to find him before it is too late. I'd help if I was feeling a little better but for now you just have my support." Kana's voice was now growing quiet and I could tell she was falling asleep.

"I'll find him Kana. I'll be back with him as soon as I can so until then sit tight." I then began leaving the pokemon center ready to set things right with Black. The hard part would be finding him in this massive city.

I left Kana and Alex in the pokecenter as I went to find Black. He could be anywhere. I decided my first step would probably be to go find Gray and convince him to help even though he would probably find this situation gold.
