Fennekin and Torchic snuck through the quiet ice village, the stars shining dimly but beautifully above them. As they walked, Fennekin told Torchic a theory she had managed to come up with.
"Torchic, I think there's something else going on in this town. Besides the-" Fennekin broke of as Spheal's house came into view.
Torchic darted forward into the house.
Fennekin glanced around, her large ears twitching, before bolting inside after Torchic.
Once inside, Fennekin used a very small burst of flame to light up the room. New warrior suits hung on the walls, along with one that looked half finished. Spheal was screwing a few things onto it when the flame lit up the room.
Spheal turned around and saw Torchic and Fennekin.
"Good, you came!" he said, then lowered his voice.
"I made something that you'll both need if we're getting out tonight." He pointed towards a door, where there were two thing gleaming softly.
Fennekin walked into the room curiously, and when she entered she gasped. Two metal suits were hanging on the wall, decorated with fire designs. Torchic walked in after Fennekin and saw the suits. Her eyes went wide with shock.
"Spheal, did… Did you make these for us?" asked Fennekin in shock. Spheal nodded. Fennekin raced over to him and gave him a giant hug.
"Oof! Get of me, you big lump!" he muttered, but hugged back. Torchic was looking uncertain.
"If we sneak out in them, the guards are bound to hear or see us." she pointed out.
"Ah, but look what they can do!" said Spheal proudly, and he leaped into one of the suits. He clicked a button, and instantly the suit was gone. Fennekin gasped.
"Woah! They can be invisible! But what about hearing us?" And what if we have to travel by paw, claw or flipper?" she asked. Torchic giggled.
"Don't worry, that's covered." said Spheal, and clicked a button. The suit turned visible again, but this time as it walked around the room, it was silent. Spheal hopped out, clicked a button on the outside of the suit, and instantly it morphed into a backpack.
"Wow, that is really useful." commented Torchic.
"Plus, they are designed to perfectly fit you guys!" said Spheal.
"Thank you so much Spheal!" cried Fennekin.
"It was nothing!" muttered Spheal. "Honestly, it was the most fun I've had in years! Now in you go!" Spheal handed Torchic the suit he had been demonstrating with and the other suit to Fennekin.
"Right, let's get to work." Fennekin said, and put on the suit. It was a perfect fit, just like Spheal had said.
"Here goes nothing!" she said, and clicked two buttons.
"Hey, where did Fennekin go?" said Torchic, who was still trying to figure out how to work her suit. Spheal had disappeared, but soon returned wearing a suit of his own.
It was blue and covered in water designs.
Fennekin snickered at Torchic's bewildered face. Clicking another button, Fennekin discovered she could listen to music while no one else could hear it!
"Sweet!" She laughed with a grin.
Suddenly, a harsh pounding on the door made her jump.
"Spheal! Get out here now!" Shouted an angry, muffled voice.
"Uh oh!" gasped Spheal. He leaped into his suit and made himself invisible.
"What? What's the uh oh?!" cried Torchic.
"Turn invisible!" hissed Fennekin, fumbling with the controls. Geez, I wonder what it's like having to press these buttons with flippers! Thought Fennekin, trying hard to click the right buttons.
"On my command!" said Spheal's voice over a speaker in the suits. "One-"
The door burst open.
"Three!" screamed Torchic, and they all ran out the door. They charged through the village as lights burst on in all the houses.
"They're escaping!" "After them!" "Hurry!"
Shouts echoed through the snow. Fennekin's hearts were pounding.
"We're almost at the edge of the town! Past there, no one can get us!" called Spheal.
"Why?" asked Fennekin.
"Who cares? RUN!" shrieked Torchic, and off they went. Bursting past the Abomasnows, they raced through the snowy terrain. After hours and hours, they saw green.
"FOREST!" squealed Torchic. Spheal ran up to Torchic. The suits had broken down a while ago.
Spheal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the trees.
"That's a swamp, Torchic." he mumbled, starting towards the swamp.
"Who cares? GREEEEEEEEEEN!" Torchic fan faster than both Fennekin and Spheal and got to the swamp before both of them.
By then the sun had started to set, and the pokemon had to set up camp. Fennekin took her pack off.
She had crammed with with food and water.
(Spheal carried the sleeping bags.)
Torchic gathered some wood and made a fire. Fennekin lay down. Hearing her friends snoring, she smiled.
Closing her eyes, she fell asleep almost at once.
And for once, no dreams came.
Just comforting dark.
