A/N: Some of you did guess correctly what would happen is this chapter... so I guess GaiaMeloetta, Tyranors and a guest got it right, trherring was very close so I count you in as well, unfortunately I'm only giving out one cookie, so you have to share, also GuyroMaster your guess was great, made my day thinking about how Sora would say that.
Orange: Well I got a few answers to question of the chapter... Well anyways reviewer corner YAY!
Guyromaster: Loving it!
Love the new edition to the group. And speaking of the favor to Tabatha...*smiles slighly* Sora should have to take her on a date at some point. Reason...well obviously she likes him.
As for Pokemon suggestions...I think it would be kinda funny if Tabatha caught a Dunsparce thinking it was a Bug Type (after all...it does look like a slug doesn't it).
That's all from me then...keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next chapter...
Just watch out for grammar errors.
Later!
Orange: I'm glad you like Tabatha she was my character. Sixth gen. dunsparce becomes fairy type I'm guessing... If I'm right I will have a super amazing party.
Skater: The favour that Sora owes Tabatha is something I'm going to have fun playing with.
Videomixer: This story has been going very smoothly so far. Aside from a few grammatical errors one of my pet peeves, this story is near perfect. Near because there is always room for improvement. Keep up the good work, and I'll wait excitedly for the next chapter.
Orange: Always improvement... I believe so as well.
Skater: All ways errors but I try my best, and your right, there is always room for improvement.
Trherring: Chapter 3 review
I was browsing and found this little story started reading and was hooked good job so far you have gained another reader will review again when I have catch up
Keep up the good work
Trherring
Orange: That's how I found this story as well. Now to the point. Some crazy stuff happens when you catch up. Sora has to collect all the chaos emeralds to go super saiyan and kill batman. He gets locked in a jail cell with a Batman follower who is the current warden... Warden Freeman... He escapes when the butter king breaks him out, but then he gets turned into a squid by the great fluffy wizard. The butter king vows to destroy all squids... WHAT THE HECK AM I SAYING! If any of you can find out the youtubers I'm referencing and the series you get a chapter spotlight!
Skater: Just to let you guys know, I don't know Orange in person... I don't think he is part of this world... help...
Giraffekid11: wow... that... was awsome! he loses control!? thts soooo cool! he flips out at coal and drives him into a tree!
Orange: yeah... a fuppin tree...
Skater: Yeah... loses control...
Ultimate-Glaceon: I do so believe that this story is starting to get good, and may I ask a question? Will the time in the story skip, or will you just drag it out for 3 years?
Orange: 0.0. Three years... Oh good lord I would die from excessive typing even more so Skater... Only 1 year doll... Why did I say doll...
Skater: Yeah I changed it to one year, that much writing and chapters would kill me, and yeah time will be skipped at times so I don't have to write over 300 chapters to get to the end.
Schizophrenic Eevee: Okay okay... is it Darcy the Hedgehog? As in SHAYMIN!?
Anyway, good chapter, and I liked...what's that?...oh...
My friend the kitchen knife says that the emotions in this story are written amazingly in every chapter. He also thinks that it was weird that there was no journal at the end.
Also, I want to be in the reviewer's corner... so do my friends... Oh well!
And my friend the cup's favorite character is Aeon! So helpful and nice!
*hops away joyfully, talking to the knife*
Orange: We have so many insane people here don't we... I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY ONE! You like Aeon ay. I was hoping someone would say Tabatha or one of my other characters. *sits in corner holding Larvesta plushie*
Skater: Aeon... well then your going to hate chapter 13... and 15... maybe every chapter after that... Aeon so confusing.
Unknown Leaf: Great cliffhanger. I also found it interesting how you were able to make that ending scene so dramatic.
Orange: Skater is really good with drama... I'm the comic relief and crazy and/or torture ideas for the characters.
Skater: I'm good with drama? Well I guess I kind of am.
Gamemastrx: My favorite character is Tom, because he seems like he is hiding something. If he is, we'll find out in later chapters!
Orange: There is a chapter that will have his P.O.V. at one point.
Skater: I think chapter 16 or 17 will be in Tom's P.O.V., and let me tell you, Tom isn't coping very well.
I opened my eyes to the early morning sun light, I quickly closed them again from pain, when my eyes changed they had enhanced my vision and allowed me to see much better in low light conditions, but when it came to bright light it really hurt. I tried again to open my eyes slowly allowing the light to enter, this time I was able to keep them open.
I looked over to my side to see that Dash and Pulse were sleeping soundly next to me, hugging against me to stay warm through the night, the sight made me smile seeing how cute those two really are, upon closer inspection they looked much better from yesterdays battle, Tabatha's medicine really did heal a lot of injuries, she used the items she could find nearby to make it. As I thought about the injuries my mind thought about the battle from yesterday and the one thing that my mind always came back to was the trainer, Darcy, 'Who in their right mind would treat pokemon like that!', I thought, Darcy really bugged me, not because of the way he treated pokemon although that did tick me off, it was because I couldn't figure out what his plan was, he was a very strong trainer and took most of our pokemon out using only one of his, but the way he acts makes me think he has got a one track mind, I don't want to meet again since I fear what his plan is, and what he would do to achieve it.
The one thing that really scared me about him is what he said before he left, he said that he will find out about me and said that I will repay him for what I did, I didn't like the sound of it, I never want to meet him again but once he finds out about me he would most likely come find me, I don't know what he would want but I don't want to know. Thinking about him made me angry and scared at the same time, I quickly sat up letting out a loud groan of annoyance, Dash and Pulse woke up from the noise and looked up to me.
"Sora... what is it?", Pulse asked, yawning from his sleep.
"Why did you wake us up?", Dash added rubbing the sleep from his eyes, I looked down at the two drowsy pokemon and let out an apologetic sigh.
"Sorry you two, I didn't mean to wake you up, I was just thinking", I fell back into the sleeping bag, Dash and Pulse moved out the way slightly as I came down then jumped onto my chest.
"What were you thinking about?", Dash asked tilting his head to the side.
"I was thinking about Darcy".
"You mean the big bad man from yesterday?", Pulse said, I tried to nodded my head, since I was lying down it was somewhat harder to do, "Why would you think about him?".
"I just can't figure out what his game is, you can tell what a person is and what they want to do, with Tom it's to become a pokemon master and Tabatha a Bug-type master, but I can't put my finger on what Darcy does or wants to become", I told them, I looked up to them and saw that they seemed quite confused about something, "What's wrong?".
"Well you said what Tom and Tabatha wanted to do, what about you?", Dash asked, I looked away from them and back up to the fading stars.
"What I want to do doesn't matter anymore", I sadly said, my rings glowing faintly, I thought back to the small talk Tom and I had before I went to bed, I want to try hard to still become like my dad, but there was no denying the fact that I wasn't going to be around long enough to achieve it.
"Why can't you just do what you want to do?', Pulse asked, I let out a depressing sigh.
"Because I'm turning into a pokemon, there is no point in following that dream", I looked back to Dash and Pulse as their ears dropped from sadness, I made everyone around me sad, I used to be happy and fun most of the time before this but now I'm always depressed due to this change, everyone tried their best to cheer me up but they can't change the experiences I had that made me like this. Dash and Pulse looked at each other feeling sorry that they brought it up, but their sorry expressions turned to confusion before turning to look at me again.
"Well if you can't do that then why don't you start a new dream?", Dash asked.
"What... you mean as a pokemon?", the two nodded, I looked back to the sky, I never thought about it, 'What would I want to do when I'm a pokemon?', I didn't want to change into an Umbreon and the fact the there might be no way of curing this always floated in my head, although I haven't spoken to the Professor since Pallet so there is still hope, but if there wasn't I should plan something out when I am a pokemon.
"Sora?", pulse poked me in the cheek, snapping me out of my train of thought, I looked back to with a smile.
"I'm fine", I said, I sat back up making Dash and Pulse jump off me and back onto the sleeping bag, I got up and stretched my arms and legs, "How about you two go back to sleep, you don't need to be up for another few hours", I told them as I turned back to them.
"What about you?", Dash asked.
"I'm... going to go for a walk, I got to think things through, but I will be back before breakfast", I gave them one last smile before walking off into the surrounding trees, I only turned back to see Dash and Pulse cuddle up next to each other to beat the cold morning.
I walked off from the camp site with many thoughts on my mind that I had to deal with, if I didn't then they will always haunt me, first off what Dash and Pulse asked me.
"I won't be able to become like my dad, but I can always set a new goal for myself for when I do change, but what can a pokemon do?", I asked myself, I didn't really know what I could do, I can always go into battles and help out my trainer, I can help out people in need like what Nurse Joy does or there is always an option of helping out a breeder in their work, "Urk...", I shook my head and tried to forget about what I just thought of, being with a pokemon would mean I truly not human anymore, but again that feeling of no cure being found caught me again.
I sat down on a set of large rocks I found and thought about it, "Me with another pokemon, how would that even work...", I talked to myself again, it was easier to say what I'm thinking rather than think it to myself, but being around the others had me keep quiet.
"Sora?", I heard a voice behind me, I stiffened up for a bit, startled from the sudden noise, thinking that Dash and Pulse didn't go back to sleep and followed me instead I turned around, but I didn't find Dash and Pulse I saw Luna.
"Luna!?", I blurted out in surprise, "What are you doing here?", the small fox pokemon walked closer and took a seat next to me.
"I saw you walk off, you looked sad so I thought you could use some cheering up", Luna looked up to me giving me a friendly smile, "What's this about you being with another pokemon?", I was shocked by this she must of heard me talk to myself, that was one drawback to talking to yourself.
"I...er...um...was...er...", I stumbled my words, I had no idea how to answer this, she was still a kid at least that is what I think she is, but I didn't want to talk about this to anyone.
"Sora, you okay?", Luna asked, cocking her head slightly, I was wide eyed still from her question, but it wasn't long before I let out a sigh.
"Luna I rather not talk about it, not to you anyway, you wouldn't understand", Luna seemed a bit insulted.
"Come on, you talk to Dash and Pulse even Coal, but not me!", she exclaimed, getting up from her spot and jumping in front of me landing on all fours, looking quite angry.
"I don't talk to Wing either, you don't see him complaining", Luna looked even more insulted than before, I didn't like it when she acts like this it reminds me to much of myself when I let my emotions go.
"Wing just joined us so did Dash and Pulse, and yet they know more than I do and I've known you since I hatched!", Luna turned her back on me, not wanting to be involved anymore, but she did come up with a good point, I had know her for two years since she hatched and I barely told her about what I was thinking, she was also probably the best one to talk to since she is an Eevee and I'm turning into an evolution of her.
"I'm sorry Luna, you're right, I have been avoiding you", I told her, Luna slowly turned back around to face me.
"Why?".
"It's not because I don't want to tell you anything, I do want to let you know about it, in fact you're probably the most helpful since your an Eevee, but...", I didn't know how to phrase this since I didn't even know what I was talking about, or these feelings, I had no idea what they meant, maybe my pokemon side doesn't like her or something, "I just can't, I'm sorry", Luna seemed quite down after that, she hoped off me and laid down next to me.
"Okay...", she sounded really depressed, she just wanted me to let her know about what's happening to me and I'm just shutting her out.
"Luna, I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain it, but I just... I don't know", I was really out of it, I couldn't find the right words to cheer her up all she wanted was for me to talk to her about how I'm feeling, but for some reason I can't bring myself to talk to her.
"It's fine... really, can you talk to me about what you were talking about with Dash and Pulse before, something about a dream?", Luna raised her head giving me cute, sad eyes hoping that I would tell her, if I didn't then she would be even more depressed.
"We were just talking about my dream, I want to become like my dad, but I guess I won't get that chance, not now", I got myself depressed now, but Luna lost hers and was more interested with what I had to say.
"What did your dad do?", she asked.
"My dad was a researcher working with Professor Oak, the Professor usually sent my dad across Kanto to do studies on the pokemon so I never got to see him much, but he was a great researcher and cared a lot for pokemon, just like me, I want to become like him, so I can maybe continue his work... since he died...", I slightly dropped my head upon this thought, Luna got up and put her paw on my leg, I looked over to her and she gave me a soft, warming smile, I returned in kind.
"So why don't you just become like your dad?", Luna asked, she still didn't get it.
"Because I'm turning into a pokemon, I can't become like him if I'm no longer his species!", I sort of snapped at Luna, having to tell others that I'm turning into a pokemon made me a little embarrassed and having to repeat it to someone that already knows is frustrating, "Sorry".
"I still don't see why you can't become like you dad", I looked into Luna eyes she seemed serious even though she knows about my change.
"What do you mean?".
"Well even as a pokemon you can help out, when I went to the big lab place I saw other pokemon helping out".
"I know that there are many things I can do when I change, but it still won't be the same as if I was human", I fell down to lay on my back, Luna decided to jump on to my stomach and make herself comfortable.
"Well why don't you do something you couldn't do as a human?", Luna said.
"I thought about it but I don't know...", I looked up to Luna she smiled with an idea that she just thought of.
"Why don't you help Tom, he wants to be a pokemon master, you can help with battling, no human can battle for him", Luna's tone was loud and happy with the thought of having me on the team, I just let out a sigh.
"I have thought of that, but I don't like the idea of Tom giving me commands to do stuff, I known him for most of my life, and besides the idea of being captured in a pokéball scares me", I shrived upon the thought, I know trainers keep their pokemon in their balls but I didn't like the idea of being someone's property.
"Oh come on, it will be fun!", Luna started to jump on my chest slightly, she wasn't really heavy but she was making me breath irregular, I grabbed the jumping Eevee and quickly sat up holding her out in front of me.
"Yeah I guess it would be, especially with you around", I gave her a friendly smile, she just giggled at me, I joined in for a little bit before another thought crossed my mind, I put down Luna and she was worried with the look I was giving her.
"What is it?', she asked, again putting her paw on my leg, comforting me.
"It's just... when I do change... what will happen to Coal, Dash and Pulse, I can't be their care taker after this", I stared at Luna, she didn't seem concerned about this, instead she gave me a reassuring smile.
"Who said you can't be, even if you're a pokemon doesn't mean you will stop being a family", I was shocked that she was good at answering these questions so quickly, and she was right, I let out a quiet sigh.
"Luna, I should of talked to you ages ago, thank you".
"Does this mean you will tell me what you were thinking before I interrupted you?", Luna giggled a little, I started to choked up again before I relaxed myself.
"Sorry Luna, but that's something I will need to keep to myself", she didn't seem happy with my answer though she didn't really care at this point after sharing with her some other stuff. I got up off the ground and dusted myself down, "Come on Luna, we should start heading back, Tom would be...", I stopped talk at the sound of something distant coming closer, Luna started to hear it to as we both looked in the direction it was coming from, it wasn't long before a pokemon jumped out from the nearby bushes and stopped in front of us, I looked the pokemon over and it seemed to be a Pikachu judging from its pointed yellow ears with black tips and it's thunderbolt like tail. Close behind the Pikachu was a group of pokemon chasing it down, judging from what I saw awhile ago with Tababtha's tea party, these were Beedrill, four of them.
"Great, a trainer, it must be his pokemon", one of the Beedrill said, I looked down at the Pikachu and it seemed fearful of those pokemon, I didn't know why they were so angry but if I didn't do something they may hurt this Pikachu.
"Yeah this is my Pikachu, what are you doing chasing after it!", I exclaimed, everyone seemed shocked I responded to the pokemon.
"You can understand us?", it asked, I simply nodded.
"Well then, your Pikachu came to close to our nest, so we're dealing with the trespasser", the Beedrill raised its spear like stinger, indicating that they wanted to do it harm, I walked in front of the Pikachu to protect it from any harm.
"You won't harm anyone, now fly back to your nest and we can forget about all of this", I tried to reason with them but they weren't budging.
"If something comes close to our nest then it must be dealt with!", they seemed like they were ready to charge, I moved my hand over my belt to get Coal but remembered quickly that my pokemon were back at the camp site, all I had was Luna by my side.
"Luna you think you can handle this?", I looked down to her as she nods back at me, if anything happened I could always try and heal them, but from what Tabatha told us, the move I used yesterday was Healing Bell, I looked it up when we were setting up camp and it said that the move heals status conditions, the fact that it healed up the injures from everyone was impressive, and I don't think I could do that again.
The beedrill launched at us, I wasn't paying attention but luckily Luna was as she dodge out of the way.
"Luna we should make this quick, use Hidden Power full force!", Luna charged up the attack with a number of green balls of energy floating around her and counting, before she used this she was either training or was too weak to use it at max power, but this time she was able to, Luna unleashed the energy balls as they flew to the Beedrill that just tried to attack us, every single one of the balls slammed into it as it fell to the ground unconscious, the other three Beedrill didn't expect Luna to be so strong, before long all three of them raised their stingers and charged at us.
"Use Quick Attack and dash around the stingers!", I called out, Luna let out a yelp of power before glowing slightly white and dashed around the oncoming Twineedle attacks, she was doing good but she wouldn't be able to hold out forever.
"Luna, jump!", she did as I asked and dashed into the air way above everyone, the three Beedrill didn't know what to do, they were stunned at how Luna moved, "Okay one more time, Hidden Power!", Luna was still up in the air as she charged her attack before letting off a barrage of green energy balls to the three stunned Beedrill, one of them snapped out of it and moved out the way while the other two got hit by the attack and were knocked unconscious just like the other one. Luna started to fall back to the ground and there was only one Beedrill left.
"Enough of this!", he called out as he flew straight up at Luna unleashing a Poison Jab, Luna couldn't do anything but get stuck by the attack, sending her into the air again, the Beedrill flew above her and used another Poison Jab sending her back into the ground in front of me, as the dust cleared I could see that she was trying to get up, but struggling to do so, I looked up the pokemon as it was coming down using another Twineedle attack, I jumped over Luna to protect her from further harm, the Beedrill stuck my back with its attack causing me to yelped out in pain, it was almost like the pain I feel when I'm changing but this time it was caused by pokemon and not the virus, he continued the attack seriously hurting me, I was getting angry over this pokemon care for others and my emotions took over again.
"Enough!", I yelled, I turned around and faced the pokemon, my rings on my body glowed with intense light, I jumped up and tackled it causing it to back off slightly, I then held my arm back to charge up a Shadow Ball, a second later I threw it towards the Beedrill, stunned at what I was doing, it didn't move out the way of the strong impact and cause it to fly into the air before landing somewhere in the trees, I shook my head and realised what I done, feeling guilty I dropped my head and cried over the thought of hurting another pokemon again, I was too weak from the attack to get up and check if it was alright, I heard shuffling under me, as I looked down I saw Luna getting up on all fours smiling at me, telling me that she is alright, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Th... Thank you...", I looked over to my side and saw the Pikachu, holding together both it's hands in front of it, and by the voice it sounded like a girl.
"You're welcome, so what were you doing, why were they so mad at you?", I asked her, she still seemed scared, I walked over and knelt down closer to her, Luna slowly joined me, as we came closer the Pikachu slowly backed off, "It's okay, we're not going to hurt you, please tell us what happened?", I tried to reassure her, she looked around for any sign of trouble and took a deep breath.
"I'm trying to get to a big mountain nearby where some of my friends said they were hiding out, the quickest way there is right through their nest, but I was too scared to get near it, they saw me and chased me down, you know the rest", she was still shaking from fear, I placed my hand on her head and tried to calm them down.
"Well they are nothing but bullies, did you even try to stand up for yourself?", I asked she just shook her head.
"Look I know it can be scary to face them down, but if you don't they will keep on trying to fight you, unless you show them that you're not worth it they will keep at it, and you will always be scared", I let out a few words of encouragement, she seemed to be quite young in pokemon terms, maybe two or three years old if I had to guess, teaching her to stand up for herself will help in the future, it has helped me in the past.
"But they're so big, and I'm not that strong, and... ", I stopped her there.
"You're only as strong as you think you are, if you believe you can do it then you will be able to", I gave her a soft, caring smile, this is what I wanted to do, I wanted to help pokemon, but to my surprise I'm doing it by talking to them, my attention was taken away when I heard Luna yelp from pain and collapse on the ground, "Luna!".
"Is she alright?", the Pikachu asked, I picked her up and looked her over then I noticed marks from where the beedrill hit her with Poison Jab, it was swollen with a blue and purple colour, it looked like she was poisoned.
"I'm sorry I have to go, but good luck!", I quickly ran off back to camp leaving a trail of dust, but I skid to a halt as I forgot to ask her something, "I'm sorry what was your name?".
"My name is Fling", she replied.
"I'm Sora, okay bye!", I turned back around and ran as fast as I can to the others.
I ran as fast as I could, being part pokemon did help in speeding me up, I could hear Luna groaning in pain, if I wasn't so tired from the Shadow Ball attack I would of tried to help, but it would be best if I got her back to the others.
I burst through the trees just where the camp was set up, I scared everyone running like a mad man through the forest, "Tom!", I called out, Tom was already running over to me when he saw Luna in my arms.
"What happened?!", he exclaimed, he got to me and saw Luna still groaning in pain, he also noticed the mark on her back where the poison is taking affect.
"Long story, can you help her with the poison?", Tom shook his head.
"No we have nothing left, so much for over spending, and Tabatha can't help since she is where ever she is in the morning", Tom said, the other pokemon had joined us in seeing what's going on. I look down back at Luna, seeing her in the pain that I pretty much put her though, she twitched in my arms from a sudden pain spike and that's when I had enough.
"That's it, I'm back here now so I'm going to try".
"Try, try what?", Tom asked, I just gave him a smile of confidence and closed my eyes hoping to find the power to help her, it wasn't long before that feeling came back inside me and I started to hear those soft bells, I doubt I would be able to heal her wounds but I can at least help the poison go away. I felt myself glow with energy before releasing it like yesterday, as it was released I could hear soft jingle of bells like last time, I could feel Luna kicking as the pain went away, but I was feeling really weak from using this move and I collapsed to my knees and sat on my legs, I opened my eyes and saw that Luna was awake again and looking much better.
"You did it!", Tom exclaimed, but I could barely hear him under my loud, heavy breathing after using so much energy, Luna got up and slowly made her way off me, she took a seat next to Tom and gave me a smile.
"Thank you", she said.
"No... problem", I manage to say, from the corner of my eye I could see Tababtha walk from the forest with Arthur, when she saw everyone gathered at one spot she ran over to us.
"Is everything okay?!", she called out as she ran to us stopping next to Tom.
"Now... you show... up", I said still breath heavily.
"What happened", she said.
"Let's find out", Tom added, I only shook my head feeling to weak to explain to much.
"Not now... let me rest for... a bit", Luna walked up to me and rubbed against my leg saying thank you yet again, I jumped up from this feeling, feeling energised yet again, I backed off slightly from Luna, everyone was puzzled by the way I acted.
"Sora you okay?", Tabatha asked, I looked away from Luna and back at Tom and Tabatha.
"Yeah... I'm fine, how about I let you guys know what happened over breakfast", they both nodded, Tom walked over and served out the food to the pokemon and then us, as I was walking to take my seat I could hear Luna telling her tale of what happened. I sat down and let Tabatha and Tom know about what happened.
"I'm just glad that you are both safe", Tom said.
"Well safe isn't what I would call it, but yeah we made it out fine", I concluded the story.
"What about you Sora, I know Luna took a beating and so did you, are you hurt at all?", Tabatha asked, I shrugged my shoulders.
"Sort of, my back still hurts from the attack but I will be fine".
"From what you told me you were attacked by a bug-type move", Tom said, I nodded slowly to his question, I didn't know what he was getting at.
"Well, I have been looking up on Umbreon for some information, and I found out that they are weak to fighting and bug type moves", Tom explained.
"That would explain why it hurt so much", I try to place my hand over the pain but I couldn't quite reach it.
"Well then being around my pokemon must really make you feel scared", Tabatha said with a slight chuckle in her voice, she seemed to find it amusing.
"Well I did feel different around your pokemon, I guess this would explain why".
"Speaking of which, why did you jump from Luna before?", Tom wondered, my body stiffened again from bring up Luna, I didn't know why but each time she is mentioned I feel different.
"I.. er... um... she startled me, that's all", I quickly came up with an answer, I didn't want to talk about it to anyone else yet not until I found out what 'it' was.
"Um... okay if you say so", Tom didn't sound convinced, neither would I if I was in his shoes.
"If you guys don't mind, I would like to eat in silence from now on, we can talk when we're back on the road", I turned around slightly so I wouldn't have to look at their judging eyes, but they did what I asked and didn't bother me for the rest of the morning.
We packed up and headed off to the long awaited Pewter City, as usual Dash and Pulse were on my shoulders hanging around and talked to each other, Luna was feeling much better and following Tom while Tabatha was next to us having Arthur in tow.
"So Sora, you said we can talk on the way to Pewter City", Tabatha said, I nodded to let them know its fine.
"So why did you go out for a walk early in the morning, you're usually the last one to get up", Tabatha asked, I thought about my answer.
"Well I was thinking about that trainer from yesterday, Darcy", once I said his name it seemed like everyone shivered at it.
"Why were you thinking about him for, he's old news", Tabatha said.
"It's what he wants is the problem, he said that he was going to find out what I am then come look for me so I can pay him back, he is such a strong trainer but he didn't seemed interested in battling the gyms, but let's move away from him", everyone agreed as I changed the subject, the pokemon were interested in what we were talking about since most of them I talked to this morning.
"Then I kind of woke up Dash and Pulse, and we talked about what my dream was", I looked back over to Tom, we had a quick talk about it last night, he didn't like where I was going with this.
"Well what is your dream?", Tabatha asked.
"Well yours is to become a bug-type master while Tom's one is to become a pokemon master, me and Tom talked about this last night", I took a breath, I have been talking a lot this morning, "My dream was to become like my dad, to become a researcher of pokemon and learn more about them and become friends, but, as Tom and I were talking we found out that I would never achieve this dream", I gave Tom sad eyes as I even knew that this dream was long gone.
"Sora... about that, I didn't mean that you couldn't become like you dad, I just meant that you can go about it a different way", Tom tried to fix his mistake from last night, Tabatha gave him a swift elbow to the side, "Ouch... what was that for!".
"You told him that he couldn't go about his dream, so what he can't be like his dad, none of us a like our parents, but that doesn't mean we can't try no matter the circumstance!", she seemed pumped up by her own speech, she was trying to cheer me up due to my change stopping me from living a normal life but I have dealt with the dream I want.
"It's fine Tabatha, really, I know I can't ever achieve a human goal, so after talking to these three here, I have been thinking of one I would be able to do", I looked over to the three pokemon I talked to this morning, they had conflicted emotions over this, they are helping me come up with a new goal, but they are also taking me away from the one I really want.
"Really, and have you thought of anything yet?", Tom asked but got hit my Tabatha again, "Ouch, stop that!", Tom cried out, Tabatha gave him a dirty look before focusing on me again.
"Sora you shouldn't just give up on your dream just because you think you can't do it anymore".
"But...", I tried to speak but Tabatha interrupted me.
"I mean it's good that you are trying to accept this and change with it, but I know deep down you want to become like your dad even if you are a pokemon, I can see that, Tom can see that everyone can see that, just remember you always have a choice", with that Tabatha ran up ahead with Arthur chasing her down, Tom and I watched as she sped off down the path.
"Sora, she's right you know, I have been trying to get you to accept this, but I have been neglecting what you really want, I'm sorry", Tom said, I shook my head.
"No Tom, I'm sorry, you have been trying to help me since day one and I have barely thanked you for it, I know you have been trying to get me to accept what's going on, I also want to accept it but deep down I do want to get this fixed, I do want to be like a normal teenager again and I do want to become like my dad, but we both know that isn't going to happen, so it's time we moved on", finishing what I want to say I walked off leaving Tom there standing alone thinking about everything.
"So what are you going to do Sora?", Pulse asked, I chuckled slightly.
"I don't know, but that's part of the journey", Dash and Pulse looked at each other in confusion, they asked what I meant but I didn't answer back, but instead kept walking to catch up with Tabatha, Tom following close behind.
We could see Pewter City now, it has been so long since we left Viridian, mainly because of me, but it was good to see something other than trees. From first glance it's not as big as Viridian City, but the less people the better, as we walked in, people didn't pay me any mind at first but that soon change when people started to notice my ears and tail.
"Hey Tom, do you get the sense deja vu?", I said, Tom nodded as we kept walking, most of the people that we walked by had their eyes on me, I forgot what it felt like to be stared at like this, back at Viridian I got used to it, but since I have been in to forest for so long I forgot all about how to deal with it.
"You seem to have fans Sora", Tabatha chuckled, I wasn't amused.
"This always happen, back in Viridian people stared at me, I almost had a nervous breakdown, Tom didn't help either", I glanced an annoyed stare at Tom thinking back to the Pokemon Center.
"Hey I only tried to help", Tom defended himself.
"You scratched the back of my ear, in front of a group of trainers in the Pokemon Center!", once she heard this Tabatha burst out laughing.
"Really, oh I wish I was there, that would have been great!", I now gave an annoyed stare to Tabatha, but she just shook it off and laughed more.
"And remember, our time there wasn't the best, not for us three anyway...", I looked to Dash and Pulse, remembered back after I told those trainers my story, we all broke down into tears, we all looked away from each other trying to forget about it, but it has always been on my mind.
"What happened?", Tabatha asked, I wouldn't answer her question because I would rather not talk about it.
"Um... I will tell you later", Tom broke the silence and spoke up.
We found our way to the Pokemon Center, the last one I was in wasn't the best experience I had and I rather not relive it.
"Sora you going in?", Tom asked, I turned back to Tom and Tabatha who seemed worried.
"Er... yeah, it's just, I hope it doesn't turn out like last time", I turned back to the doors trying to find the courage to walk in.
"Well let's find out!", Tabatha exclaimed, she walked up behind me and pushed me into the center, giggling as she does. Standing inside I could see that there wasn't as much trainers in the building but there could be more further in, Tabatha continued to push me to the front desk, all the while trainers eyes were bearing down on me just like before, as we made it to the desk I could see Nurse Joy waiting patiently for us to get to the desk, she seemed a little stunned to see me with a waging pokemon tail and ears like one, but just like the last time, her smile came back greeting us.
"Welcome to the Pokemon Center how can I help you?", she asked, I seemed confused to see her.
"Um... weren't you working at Viridian City's Pokemon Center?", Nurse Joy let out a small giggle.
"I get this a lot, that Joy is my little sister", she explained.
"Oh... you looked the same, sorry".
"It's okay, now what can I do for you?", she said, Tom took over for me as I still didn't really know what to do.
"We would like to get our pokemon checked, as well as get three rooms for the next few nights", Tom seemed to know a lot about this, I guess his research was useful, but he still had things to learn, all three of us place our Pokédex's on the desk as well as our pokemon, Nurse Joy registered us as trainers and booked us rooms before returning our Pokédex's and taking our pokemon out back, I let out a sigh of relief seeing as things are going better than last time.
"Um, guys, we seem to have company", Tabatha said tugging on our clothing, before long we turned around and saw what she meant, a crowd of trainers surrounded us.
"Oh come on, why look at me, why not her, she's crazy!", I exclaimed, Tabatha gave me a dirty look which I then regretted what I said.
"Sora aren't you forgetting about the virus", Tom whispered to me, my tail swinged in front of me allowing me to catch it.
"Oh, right, okay then ask your questions, because I know you just going to blurt them out later", I told the trainers, I let go of my tail and let it swing behind me. They all seemed confused by what I am, and I get the sense of deja vu come on.
"What are you?", a trainer asked, I let out a sigh, because I knew that this is going to be a long day.
"I'm part pokemon, and I'm turning into an Umbreon, and no, this isn't by choice", the trainers seemed shocked and stunned by the information, even if they watched the news about me hearing it come from my mouth made an impact on people.
"Sora don't you think your being a little forward with them?", Tabatha said.
"If I'm going to get this every time I got to a Pokemon Center, then I can answer the questions how I feel like", Tabatha didn't argue with me, the trainers were about to ask another questions until a trainer pushed through the crowd.
"Come on let's see what we're looking at", he said, the trainer finally made his way to the front and was stunned to see me, "Hey I know you, I met you back in Viridian", he said.
"I met a lot of trainers then", I responded.
"Well do you remember her?", the trainer let out a pokemon from its ball, it was a Ivysaur.
"Oh it's you, I wanted to thank you for your help!", she said, I tried to remember what she was talking about, then it hit me, back at the other Pokemon Center I helped out a Bulbasaur with its trainer.
"So you must be Jake, I see your Bulbasaur has evolved", I gave him a smile.
"Yeah thanks to you, once I changed what I was feeding her she evolved in no time!", he seemed pretty grateful for my help, I was happy to give it.
"So, about your... change, anything new?", he asked, he was there when I was talking about my story, so he knew everything up to that point, but many things has happened since then.
"Yeah, not all great, actually, I don't think any of it is great, I grew fur on my head and got this ring and at the same time my rings start to glow with my emotions, I replaced my human emotions with the pokemon one and that didn't turn out well, and I almost drowned when my eyes changed and I grew this fur", I raised my hand and showed everyone the fur on it, Jake and the other trainers were speechless, I let out a sigh, "How about I tell you guys my story?", they nodded.
For the last four hours I told them everything that has happened in my life and what happened on my birthday, our pokemon were returned to us when I was about to talk about when we got to Viridian City, so they joined in on the story. I talked about how I let Aeon control me so I can save us from the gym leader back in Viridian City, and how I went to the pond when I woke up and cried over my parents, but how Dash and Pulse cheered me up, they remembered that time and giggled when I brought it up. The same day I had another change when I got the ring on my head and my rings to glow when my emotions were strong, I also brought up how scared and frighten everyone was when they saw me, our group didn't want to look at me when I brought it up, they didn't want to remember that day.
Then I talked about when Team Horizon showed up and tried to capture us, they would of if it wasn't for Tabatha, she saved us and helped Dash and Pulse recover from their battle, and how they attacked us a second time and Coal evolved during the battle, as well me having a cool ability that saved us from the Ninetails. Then on about the dream Aeon showed me, the one where I was an Umbreon, I told everyone it seemed peaceful but I didn't know what to think, and also that I was child pokemon that can't control his emotions, so I replaced my human ones with the pokemon ones, but I told everyone that I wish I didn't do it, telling them that I attacked my own pokemon and almost killed him, that I lost control and Dash and Pulse had to stop me, I took a break then trying not to make myself cry over what happened, Dash and Pulse were equally sadden by the memory.
I soon moved on to the other dream I had with Aeon, that he and Coal got me to control my emotions. Then the last change I had when I was swimming, that is I grew fur on my back hand and changed my eyes. Then we met Darcy, I told them what he was doing and what he did to our pokemon to achieve it, I asked the trainers if they knew anything about him but they said no. Then I met the Pikachu and saved it from beedrill, but not before Luna got poisoned, then I finished off the story with us arriving at Pewter City, and that I might not get cured and I would change completely.
It was quite soon after my story no one talked not even the people that heard it before or was there with me, I looked over to Dash and Pulse and hoped that they weren't going to break down into tears, they seemed fine but were quite sadden from the story, but I noticed that Luna was almost ready to break down in tears, I couldn't figure out why but she jumped into Toms arms and broke down.
"Any questions?", I asked the group of trainers, none of them spoke, during the story none of them left, but instead more joined in as they entered the center, but one trainer spoke up.
"So do you want to be a pokemon?", one of them asked, I wasn't expecting that question since I don't think I had an answer it.
"I... I don't know, I would like to say no, very much so, but the more this happens to me the more I get used to it, so I don't know what to think", when I said this Tom and Tabatha were kind of shocked to hear that come from me, they expected that I would say no, that I want to stay human, and that is true but part of me wants to be a pokemon, most likely Aeon getting involved.
"Can you show us an attack?", another trainer called out, I looked over to Tom and Tabatha and they shrugged their shoulder, I looked back to the crowd of trainers.
"Um... I don't know if I should, it takes away so much of my energy and I already used two attacks today so I'm still tired", I heard a few disappointed people in the crowed somewhere they really wanted to see me in action, "Okay, fine, maybe it won't be too bad", everyone had their eyes on me as I closed my eyes and focused on using Healing Bell, it wasn't long before the strange feeling was back and I could hear the bells in my head, I released the move as it moved away from me releasing a soft bell noise as it went, I could hear voices of fear and amazement, I opened my eyes again and saw a lot of jaws dropped, I felt quite tired after that but since I wasn't doing anything It didn't take much out of me, "Now anymore questions before I stop?", I saw a trainer raise her hand, "This isn't school, speak if you wish".
"I feel like you left some parts out in your story, it seemed incomplete", she said.
"Some things I need to keep to myself, even from my friends, at least for now", Tom and the others didn't like the sound of that, they thought they knew a lot with what was going on with me but I still hid some stuff, "Okay that's enough, come on you two", I called over Dash and Pulse as they ran over and jumped onto my arm, I got up from where I have been sitting for the last four hours and left the group of trainers behind as I made my way to my room that we have booked for the next few days, Tom and Tabatha didn't follow as they stayed sitting down still thinking about the story I told.
As I opened the door to my room that scent of flowers hit me again, this smell was in the last Pokemon Center, it must be a normal thing for these places, as we entered I saw nothing new to the room, it still had all the same stuff as the last one. Dash and Pulse saw the T.V. on the wall and jumped off my shoulder before placing themselves on the end of the bed looking around for the remote.
"Sora, how do we turn it on?", Dash looked up to me needing help, I chuckled from their expressions.
"Here", I walked over to the dresser and picked up the remote and handed it to them, their expressions turned from confusion to extreme happiness, as they played around with the remote, "You really like the T.V. now don't you", I tried my best to hold back the laughter but failed to do so as they went and pressed a number of buttons on it hoping for something to work.
"Sora, it's not working!", Pulse crossed his arms in frustration as Dash continued to try the remote.
"How about you try the red button at the top", Dash looked around a found the button I was talking about, pressing it as the T.V. came to life, Dash and Pulse jumped up and down in excitement before they continued to press buttons changing the channel on it. Seeing those two happy over something as simple as a T.V. made my day, they knew how to have fun and weren't afraid to show their emotions, unlike me, I was scared with what I can do if I don't control myself, ever since that outburst back in the forest I have learnt to control them much better, although I do tend to let them go when I feel like it's necessary. I came back from my thoughts and released Coal from his ball, he found it great to stretch his limbs again, he looked around and saw where we are and let out sigh of safety, he knew we were at a Pokemon Center, just by the look of the room.
"So what did I miss?", he asked.
"Not much, can you look after these two, I'm going to find the others", Coal looked over to them and saw their gaze fixed on the screen on the wall.
"No problem, they won't be a bother", Coal turned back around and gave me a smile, I knew he was going to go to sleep, since Dash and Pulse will just watch T.V. for the rest of the night, I waved goodbye and left the room in search for Tom and Tabatha, but when I opened my door I found them standing there, I seemed to of scared them when I opened the door.
"Oh, Sora... we were just...", Tabatha tried to explain but I cut her off to answer her unfinished sentence.
"It's fine, I was going to come find you anyway", they were still stunned and didn't know what to say to me, I just walked off down the hall back to the main hall of the building, they soon joined me following close behind, not saying a word.
As we made it into the main hall we found some empty seats and sat down, most of the trainers were staring at us again, still wondering about me. Across from me Tom sat down, Luna jumped up next to him still staying close to him, I could still see a few tears in her eyes, this time my story really did a number on her, Tabatha sat next to me.
"So you guys came looking for me first, so you want to talk?", Tom and Tabatha looked at each other still don't know what to say, after my story everyone was speechless, I let out a sigh of annoyance, "Come on guys, I know you want to talk otherwise I wouldn't have found you in front of my door working up the courage to knock on it".
"We weren't working up the courage... we just didn't know what to talk about", Tabatha said.
"Well you must know otherwise you wouldn't of come find me", I stared at them more trying to break the information out of them, it wasn't long before Tom broke.
"Okay Sora, your right, we did have questions but we just didn't know if you want to talk about it".
"If I didn't, I wouldn't be sitting here", I said.
"Right...", Tom felt somewhat stupid from not realising this before, "Well about your story... do... do you really want to be a pokemon?", Tom slowly said, I felt like I knew this was coming, it was one of the questions I had on my mind and was trying to figure out myself. I sighed before answering.
"To be honest, I don't know, I want my old life back, being human again, going to school, messing around with you, but its been a few weeks since this started to happen me and right now I don't know what to think", I dropped my head, trying to come up with an answer to this foreboding question, I looked back up to see that Tom, Tabatha and even Luna were afraid of what I was talking about.
"Sora, I haven't known you as long as the others but I can see that you don't want this to happen, you want to be human again but your other side is making you feel different", when I met Tabatha, she didn't understand what was happening, like most people, when I explained what was going on she found it cool to be part pokemon, but as she joined us and saw what I was going through and the pain I'm experiencing, and now she just doesn't want me to change but also been trying to make me eat pokemon food, which is giving me mixed emotions as to what she wants.
"I want to be a full human again, but even if my pokemon side is affecting my judgement as to what I want, I feel like that even if it isn't doing anything, I don't know what to think", I looked over to Tom waiting for his question on this subject.
"Sora... I... don't know what to say, I have known you since I was four years old and we have become brothers, I don't want to see you in pain like this, I want there to be a cure so you can return to normal and we can live like a normal family again, but I don't want to change your mind in anyway and if you want to be a pokemon then I would support you with that, but then I would feel like I would of lost a family member, even if he is by my side in a different body", Tom let out a few tears, the fear of losing me was coming a reality, but I think he forgot the one problem with all of this, even I forgot about it until I talked about my story before.
When I change I will lose my memory, according to Aeon, but he told me that he has been trying to think of a way to stop that from happening, I don't know how long the change will go on for but I trust Aeon that he could find a way in time.
"Tom, I don't want to lose you either, but even as a pokemon, I will still be there for you, I will still protect you and have fun, but we all know that there will be no cure, everything I am able to do now, the attacks, the eyesight, and everything else, I would only be able to do this if my DNA was messed around with", the others were speechless, they didn't know what to say, Tom kind of knew this already, we talked about it last night, but it was still a big shock to him.
"Sora... I... don't know... this is all too much", Tom said, holding his head with his hands.
"Well I'm going to call Professor Oak tomorrow, we can find out what he has learnt, until then let's be happy", I gave them all a big smile hoping to cheer them up but they wouldn't, "Come on guys, I'm the one that support to be depressed, you're the ones that try and cheer me up", Tom slowly looked at me again, followed by Tabatha, I was still giving them a smile, I noticed that Tabatha was returning to her former self.
"Your right", Tabatha said, she turned around and stuck her hand into her bag, before pulling out a handful of pokemon food.
"This isn't cheering up Tabatha, this is annoying!", I said, she closed her eyes and smile.
"Oh come on, remember you still owe me that favour", I remembered what she was talking about, she help heal my burn I got from that Ninetails.
"I don't care, I may owe you a favour, but I'm not eating that!", I exclaimed, Tabatha still insisted by moving her hand closer.
"Please, I know you will like it", I looked to the food, in my mind it looked somewhat appetising, but if I liked it I might start eating it over human food and I don't want that.
"Stop it Tabatha, I'm not eating it, I never will!", I started to yell, I gotten the attention of the rest of the trainers, they saw what was going on and some started to snicker, I dropped my head from embarrassment, I quickly gave Tabatha an irritated stare before she moved her hand back and put the food away.
"Fine, I was just trying to help", she crossed her arms and looked away, Tom was back to his happy self and chuckled at what we were doing.
"So what were the other things you kept to yourself, you said before you were keeping stuff from us?", Tom asked, this got Tabatha's attention back as she was intrigued.
"Well, it is stuff I still need to figure out myself, I don't know what it is, so I see no point in worrying you guys about it", I said, Tom didn't like it but he never liked it when I hid stuff from him, Tabatha saw the look Tom was giving me and acted.
"Tom leave him be, if he feels like he needs to hide it then he has the right to, he will tell us when the time is right", Tom nodded, trusting her judgement, I was happy that they were not going to dig at it any further, but my attention soon drew to the silent Eevee next to Tom.
"Luna?", I softly said, she looked up at me and I could tell that she has been crying silently to herself as we talked, "Why are you crying so much, you knew everything before hand?", Tom and Tabatha noticed I was talking to Luna and remanded silent as we talked, a few trainers gathered around as they were shocked by the way I was talking.
"It's just... I don't know", she said.
"Luna, you have to talk to someone, if not me talk to someone else", she shook her head, she didn't want to talk about it, much like me, "Is it something about me?", she nodded, she didn't want to talk, all her effort was trying to remain silent from her crying.
"Okay I want to know, what's happening?", Tom asked, he couldn't keep himself silent anymore he wanted to know what was happening with his pokemon.
"I don't know, she won't talk about it", Tom put his hand behind her ear and scratch it, trying to calm her down, "Tom I got an idea, how about Luna stays with me tonight, maybe she will open up later", Tom looked over to me thinking about it.
"Well if you can cheer her up then, I don't see why not", Tom replied.
"So how about it Luna, do you want to stay with me tonight?", Luna looked up at me, her crying stopped soon after Tom started scratching her ear.
"Really?", she asked.
"You're welcome to stay", I gave her a soft smile, she seemed slightly happy by this, she jumped off the chair and then onto my lap, I was startled but the sudden jolt.
"I guess that's a yes", Tom said, smiling by her act.
"So you really can talk to pokemon", I turned around and saw a number of trainers behind me, I gave them a nervous smile before chuckling slightly.
"Um... yeah I can, you heard the story", I said.
"Can you talk to my pokemon?!", one trainer called out, soon the rest of them joined in asking me the same thing, I got up from my seat holding Luna close and slowly backed off, the group of trainers following me.
"Please everyone, leave me alone, I have stuff to do!", I exclaimed, they all seemed pretty annoyed that I won't talk to there pokemon, but accepted it and went back to what they were doing.
"Well I guess people like you", Tom said walking up to me, Tabatha was following close behind.
"Its not me they like, it's these abilities", I responded.
"I guess your right, we were about to get some dinner, you want to join us?", Tom asked, I shook my head.
"No I'm fine, I will just feed the pokemon in my room and head to bed, I'm tried after everything that has happened today".
"Well we were going to get settled into our rooms before we ate, come on", Tom walked off down the hallway, with us in tow. We passed a few rooms before we arrived at Tabatha's, I waved good night before she went inside, Tom and I continued a little more before we were at my door.
"I will see you tomorrow, have a...".
"Tom wait", I interrupted him.
"What?".
"About before when we were walking to Pewter City... when we were talking about what my dream was", Tom seemed down again, he didn't like talking about this because he knew that I wasn't going to achieve it.
"Sora, I didn't mean to say that you wouldn't...".
"Tom let me finish", I said, interrupting him again, Luna was still in my arms, intrigued with what we were saying, me and her talked about it this morning as well, so she wanted to know where I was going with this.
"Sorry".
"I have been thinking about what I can do, if I even want to give up my dream, but the more I thought about it the more I came back to what me and Luna talked about", Tom seemed confused with what I said.
"You talked to Luna about it as well?", he asked.
"Yeah, she wanted to know and we talked about it, and what she brought up was something I have been thinking about all day", I looked down at her, seemed just as confused, she didn't really remember much from this morning after the poison attack.
"And what was it?", Tom really wanted to know now, I guess the suspense was killing him.
"Well I know I can no longer do my dream like I wanted to, so as it pains me to say it, I have given up on it...", I took a moment to recollect myself.
"Sora, you shouldn't...", I gave Tom a stare that made him stop talking, he understood that I wasn't finished.
"So I have figured out what I want to do, as a pokemon that is, if there wasn't cure, I... I want to help you become a pokemon master", Tom was shocked that I just said that, I was a little as well since I have just been thinking about it up to this point, Luna soon remembered our talk from this morning and started to wag her tail, she seemed happy with what I said.
"You... want to... help me?", Tom was still stunned by the information and didn't know what to think.
"Luna asked me about it this morning, I must admit I thought about it before, but now I'm certain, I want to help you achieve your dream, that way, we can both be happy", Tom looked down at Luna and see was happy with my decision.
"So... you want... to be my... pokemon?".
"Only if this can't be cured, anyway, I don't trust anyone else, you and I have always been brothers, and I want to be there as you become champion, I want to see you achieve your dream, and I want to be the one to help", Tom was still speechless, but now I could see a hint of water in his eyes, "Tom, please don't cry over this".
"Sora... I... I can't... I don't want to... you have been my brother for most of my life and... ordering you around, the idea of owning you... it's just something I don't want to happen", Tom started to cry slightly after he finished, I thought as he did, I still do, I didn't want to be owned, commanded around, but if I had to I wanted it to be Tom.
"Tom at least sleep on this, it's something that I want when the time comes... good night", I turned around and walked into my room, Tom wanted to keep talking about it but I shut the door before he could say anything, I turned around and leaned against the door, "That was hard...".
"Did you really mean it?", Luna asked, I thought about it before giving my answer, I didn't want to give her an answer and take it back later on.
"Yeah, I meant it, but its his choice if he wants to or not and I'm not going to force it upon him".
"Why did you offer, you said this morning that you did want to be anyone's pokemon?".
"I did didn't I, I guess I needed some time to think about it, and I'm still not sure if this is want I want, but I didn't see the harm in asking", I got off the door and walked to the bed and place Luna down on it.
"What were you talking about?", I looked down and saw Coal, he wanted to know what Luna and I were talking about.
"Nothing Coal, don't worry about it, Luna staying with us tonight", Dash and Pulse heard this over the T.V.
"Sleep over!", they exclaimed, I chuckled at their comment.
"You're still going to bed when I tell you to, but for now dinner", I went over to my bag and pulled out some pokemon food, it wasn't the best but it will do for tonight, I also pulled out some bowls for them to eat out of, I filled them up and placed one on my bed and one on the group for Coal to have by himself, everyone started to chow down as I went back to my bag and got out just a simple cereal bar to eat as well as my journal, I wasn't that hungry and I could eat more tomorrow.
I took a seat at the other end of the bed and made myself comfortable, taking a bite out of my dinner and watching everyone else enjoy theirs.
"So Luna you want to talk about before?", I asked, she looked up to me before looking away looking sad again, "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine, go back to eating your dinner", Luna happily agreed and started to chow down again, I wasn't going to force her to talk, especially since I'm hiding my own problems. Once I finished my cereal bar, I opened up my journal and wrote down the next entry, by the time I was done, Dash and Pulse had finished and were back to watching the T.V., Coal was sleeping again in the corner of the room, and Luna was laying down on the other side of the bed relaxing. Dash and Pulse were watching the news to see if I showed up, they liked seeing me on the T.V., I wasn't paying attention to most of the news, but I caught on when it was about to finish.
"Here was our top stories for tonight, Steven resigned as champion of the Hoenn League letting the new champion Wallace take over, who used to be the gym leader of the Sootopolis City Gym, but now taking over his old duties is Juan who will be the new gym leader. Team Rocket, notorious team for stealing pokemon had their plans thwarted in Mt. Moon when they were chased away by a boy named Red from Pallet Town, no one knows what they were up to but more details will be released in the future", I turned out from the rest of the news.
'Red, I think I remember someone by that name back in Pallet, I wonder if he is the same person', I thought, it didn't really affect me either way, but it was good that other people try to stop Team Rocket, maybe they will disband in time, but I doubt it.
"Come on guys, it's time for bed", I called out, I got up and took the remote away from Dash and Pulse who weren't happy with me.
"Just a little longer!?", Dash exclaimed, I shook my head.
"No come on, it's bed time", I turned off the T.V. and got myself changed out of my clothes as the two sad plusle made their way to the other side of the bed and chose and pillow to use for the night, when I was ready I packed up everything and turned off the lights as I made my way to my side of the bed, getting comfortable within the warm protection, as I was falling asleep I felt some move up against me and made themselves comfortable, I turned my head slightly as I saw Luna hugging up against me, her eyes closed as she tried to go to sleep, I smiled at her before turning my head back around to fall asleep.
Dear Journal,
Today was a long day, I'm very tired and need a long rest, and on top of that I had a lot of thoughts run through my head the whole day.
This morning I talked to Dash, Pulse and Luna about my dream of becoming like my dad, but if I couldn't get a cure then I needed to set a new goal for me as a pokemon, this wasn't easy, but after thinking about it for the whole day I decided on what I wanted to do if I change fully, I want to help Tom out with his dream in becoming a pokemon master meaning that I would help him out in battles, when I told Tom this he was speechless and I think he doesn't want to do it, I don't blame him but if he doesn't want me to help then what can I do?
Luna and I saved a pikachu from harm today, her name was Fling and she said that she was trying to get to Mt. Moon to meet some friends, but the easiest way there is past a beedrill hive and four of them chased her down for getting to close, after excellent battling from Luna we manage to take out three of them, but the last one did a number on her and inflicted poison on her, I manage to take it out with a Shadow Ball, before we left so I could help Luna, I gave some words of advice to the pikachu, I hope she makes it to her friends safely.
We finally made it to Pewter City and again everyone stared at me and when we got to the Pokemon Center it was the same story as last time, a group of trainers crowded around me to find out more, so I told them my story which went on for four hours, my throat hurt after that, but a question a trainer asked made me think about what I want, they asked if I wanted to be a pokemon, and I couldn't answer this, I have mixed feelings about it now and I have no idea if I wanted to be one or not, but I know deep down I want to back to normal again so I can live out my life like I planned.
The last problem I had today was with Luna, I don't think it's anything she did, but when I'm around her I feel different, I don't know why, it could be because Umbreons don't like Eevees, or it could be because she is an Eevee, I have no idea, and I want to know what it is before I lose it.

Orange: Okay I'll put the question of the day down here from now on to remind people of it. Okay here it is. What is your favourite pokemon and why? If your reason and pokemon are interesting enough we"ll add it... probably.
A/N: That was a great chapter, poor Fling had no confidence but thankfully Sora sorted that out, also I think Sora hates Luna, the way he is trying to get away from her at times is so weird.
So Sora popped the big question to Tom, "Can I be your pokemon?", isn't something you hear everyday, wonder what Tom will say.
Next Chapter our group makes a new friend, but Sora seems to be acting slightly different when watching a battle, what do you think is different with Sora then? There's another cookie in it for you, but if you don't want that then there is a gold plated pokéball in it for you containing a Magikarp!
