Never a boring moment with Spirit is there? Okay I just want to make this clear, I am putting the Destiny Stones in this chapter, er, story. They are NOT mine and I do NOT own them. If you've read Espeon Master's Tough Love or Antethesis's (sorry if I spelt that wrong) Honeymoon's Over, you'll know what they are. If not, I'll try to make it clear enough to understand, kapeesh? Good. :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or the Destiny Stones. But I live with it, somehow.


The New Savannah


I woke up to shaking and screaming. How comforting. I figured out Drew was shaking me awake in no time flat. But where the screaming came from didn't seem like a good thing. I groggily glanced around. We were in, I'm gonna go out on a limb here, some kind of jail. They were holding us captive. That was obvious by the large metal bars.

Then I figured out another thing; I had an aching headache as big as this cell. Oh the pain, woe is me, really didn't sink in. I just swallowed real hard and leapt onto the cave floor. This cell was basically a hollow rock formation with bars. They could've at least put some soft carpeting in. But no, prisoners are prisoners, no matter who you are or where you're from. In this case I felt like playing a harmonica. Boy was it ever depressing in here. What did they do for fun, wait to see who lost their sanity first?

Well I think I'd already lost it enough. I redirected myself to the screaming or men shouting "After her!" I swallowed. They were probably gonna hang Savannah for running away with that prize of theirs. May didn't stand up or even peak her head though the bars. The brunette just sat there, a look of horror plastered on her face. I decided to stay where I was, I didn't want me reminding her of Savannah.

I poked my head out through the bars. Then something just hit me. Why couldn't I just squeeze through the freakin bars? I glanced at Drew and he nodded. Then he glanced at May for a second. I paused in mid-step. I saw a flicker of, did I see that right?, compassion in his eyes? Well that was unexpected, Mr. Conceded actually caring for once.

I slipped through the bars silently and began looking for an escape route.


Her short brown hair flung from side to side when she ran frantically. She'd have to remember to tie it up later. Or whenever she found May. There was no way she'd recognize her own Eevee as a human. Luckily she'd found some Team Rocket clothes to blend in with. Savannah lost the grunts at the last corner but she kept scampering, or as best as she could in this body. How did human run on two friggen feet?

There wasn't much light in this hallway. But she managed to see as best as she could with these... human eyes. Her Eevee eyes usually were precise and detected the slightest movement in the darkness. But no, human eyes took forever to adjust to the darkness. Even when they did adjust, you still couldn't see anything specific though, like a Pokemon hiding in the shadows.

And this nose, so small it couldn't smell anything unless it was really strong. As an Eevee she could've scented May by now and have been on her train, but no. This was just retarded, she was wasting precious time wandering around hopelessly lost.

Savannah had no idea why she was transformed, but had a pretty good idea by what. She pulled the amber stone she stole out of her pocket. The girl thought back to what she'd read on the tag of that stand the stone was on. Destiny Stone, a stone that is said to transform humans into Pokemon.

Humans into Pokemon? Not Pokemon into humans? Or had they just left that little detail out? Whatever, it didn't matter, as an Eevee she was more vulnerable so this would just have to do. She swallowed, thinking of something just now. I'm too young to be a Rocket grunt.

She tripped over her own feet again when walking down a narrow hallway. "Oof!" Savannah wheezed as she hit the ground.

She heard a sudden "Ow!" from behind her. She whipped around to see an Eevee staring her in the face.


"Crap!" I screamed. "Not now, not now!" I stomped. I hissed and edged closer. "Lock me up again and I'll bite!" I threatened. Yeah, like she can understand me. I scanned the strange girl. She didn't look threatening, but you never know. She also looked really young, and I didn't see many female bad gu-girls.

She looked bewildered and confused. It looked like she was holding her breath till she said, "Spirit?"

I understood that, but how'd she understand me? "Do I know you?" I asked warily, not knowing what to expect.

"Do you understand me?" she said slowly. I blinked. Now it was my turn to be bewildered. "Strangely, yes."

"I'm Savannah, I know I don't look like it but-"

"You can't be Savannah, she an Eevee, a brown, yet retarded, Eevee!" I snarled. She must've been mental or something, might have escaped form one of these cells...

Her face flushed with anger. She picked me up my tan, Eevee neck fur. "Listen, you!" It seemed like she would've growled if she could have. "You were with Drew and May, where are they!" she said in a hushed, but deadly, tone.

"They're a few cells down, they locked us up, and I escaped to get help or something." Now that I thought about, I hadn't really had an overall plan. Oh well, might as well improvise. My damn head ach started to kick in. "Can you put me down now," I asked. "My head is killing me."

She threw me a few feet before I hit the ground. I growled. "Thanks," mumbled sarcastically.

"You deserved that," she said while walking by.

I hissed and followed her grudgingly. May looked up from her lap when she heard footsteps. I sucked in air and slipped through the bars. She stared at Savannah unknowingly. Her gaze was filled with revulsion and rage. "What have you done with my Eevee!!" She threw herself at the bars angrily. Savannah back up a little, searching for the words to tell her.

I started to explain but they ignored me. Yeah, figures. May breathed a few times and returned to her depressing little corner. Drew glared at Savannah. "What do you want? Here to take my Eevee away too?" he said, an edge of steel in his voice.

"No," she said, her voice sounding like an innocent child's. "I've come to get you out."

Drew sneered. "Why would you help us?"

"I can answer that for you," I offered, grinning. She gave me a shut-your-mouth-or-you're-dead look. "No thanks Spirit," she huffed. "They wouldn't understand you anyway." The green haired boy immediately seemed confused. Who wouldn't?

"Did you just-?" Savannah smiled. "Talk to him? Understand him? Yeah. I'm Savannah, you know, May's Eevee," she said plainly.

May looked up, shocked, and Drew just stared speechlessly. "Yeah, I know, shocked me too," I said, leaning in to see their facial expressions. It took all the willpower I had to not laugh and say "Man, do you two ever look retarded!" But I managed.

"But... how?" was all the brunette could get out. "I'll tell you later," she whispered, glancing around nervously. "Right now I need to get you out before any Team Rocket grunts come back."

"And how do you plan to do that?" I asked disbelievingly. There was pretty much nothing she could do as being a human. No attacks, no sharp teeth, humans had it off easy. They didn't have to battle other Pokemon and stuff like that; they just bossed us around and whatnot.

Savannah disappeared for a few minutes then came back with a stalagmite. "Crap," I said and hurried through the bars. "Get against the wall!" she ordered, raising the pointed rock.

May huddled in the corner, put her head in her lap, and had her hands tightly over her head. Drew just turned toward the wall. I back a good ten feet away from her. Savannah raised it even higher and swung it at full force. When it met the bars the sound was a cross with clang and crack. CLACK! My ears rang for a few moments before I saw if the bars broke or not. I scampered over there with large steps. When the smoke cleared I saw Drew shielding May. He had his hands pressed against the wall for a few moments, then when the rocks stopped pelting him he looked up.

"Holy crap," was all I could say when I reached them. The bars had been cracked like a boulder had run through them. "Obviously they didn't put good steel in these things," said Savannah blankly, as awed as I was. I coughed as I breathed in some dust. Drew slid out through the hole easily. He helped May through so she wouldn't be cut my any of the bars. They dusted themselves off. "Where's the exit?" I asked.

"I think I ran past in on my way," said Savannah while thinking. She quickly led us out. We were practically glued to the walls when a few grunts past us. I unstuck myself and we waited till they couldn't be heard. Then we followed the path they were on. I ran out a huge hole in the rock. Sunlight suddenly hit my eyes. "AHHH!! I AM BLINDED!!" I walked around dizzily while covering my eyes.

I heard the others walk out but couldn't see them. Still dazed, I bumped into someone's leg and fell over. "Hello?" I asked, opening my eyes a little bit. I squinted. Savannah stared down at me with her amber eyes. I blinked. "That's better, I can see now," I said while getting up. I rubbed my head and eyes, they seemed to be recovering.

We ran a few miles. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but that's what it felt like. Then we reached, what do they call it?, a town, or a city I don't know... I sat down panting. "I think we got away. Can we please stop running now?" I coughed a few times. "Need, water." I said, wheezing, while tugging on Drew's pants. He turned to Savannah, asking her to translate.

"He's thirsty, so am I. What is this place anyway?" She asked turning to May. "Cerulean City," she responded. "Come on, I'm sure we can stay at the Pokemon Center."

"We're gonna go to that place you tried to escape from Spirit," she said, smirking. "I hate you all," I said. Hey, it was all I could think of.

Well, it turns out that those "Pokemon Centers" are where Pokemon get healed. They're also a place where traveling trainers can rest for the night. So Drew and May got their Pokemon healed quickly and rented separate rooms, free of charge. Nice huh? May found Savannah some different clothes so she wouldn't rouse suspicion. People didn't like Team Rocket, I could tell why. We found some couches to sit on so Savannah could explain you know what. We'd have to keep it down to a whisper though.

Savannah came out with her brown hair tied back. She'd found a sleeveless red turtle neck and jean shorts to wear. I shook my head; I must've still been dizzy from the lights in the center. I was probably still seeing things too. The two sat down on across from us. "Uh, who's she?" I asked mockingly. Savannah glared at me, as expected.

"You know who I am, retard," she scowled.

"No way," I said, pretending to sound surprised, "you can't be that hot."

SMACK!

Savannah dusted her hands off. "Next time I'll send you to hell."

I swallowed, still dazed and recovering from pain. May cocked her head. "What'd he say?"

"Nothing important," she said, smiling innocently. I felt the left side of my face, it was hot. "DANG, how hard did you hit me?"

Savannah just stared at my face. "It's red, pretty damn hard I guess."

"Ya think?" I sneered. Drew coughed "eh-hem" and I quieted down.

They turned to Savannah so I did to. She answered first. "Okay, you know that stone that was in that case?"

"The one that broke and hurt like heck?" I interrupted and nodded. "Yeah."

"There was a stone, and on the tag on the pillar it was labeled Destiny Stone. It said that it could transform humans into Pokemon," she told us. "It didn't say Pokemon into human though, so I have no idea how. I guess it works both ways."

I digested this, it was a lot to take in. Okay, a stone did this? Weird. She pulled it out and showed us. The amber one that fell on my head was now in her human hands. Now that I got a good look at it, it looked kind of cool. And it was the color of her eyes, which was also a weird coincidence.

"That looks like a fire stone," May said breathlessly. Yeah, I'll admit, it did look kinda like fire. But I've never seen a fire stone so I assumed that's what it looked like.

"I heard they stole it from the museum in Pewter City," May added.

Drew nodded. "Well that explains it; they stole it from a museum."

I yawned. "Can we go to bed now?"

"Sure, we can go to sleep now," Savannah yawned. "I'm beat too."

"Guess some sleep could do us all good." May stood up and walked toward the room, followed by Savannah. Drew picked me up and headed into our room. I leapt out of his arms onto the end of the bed. He shut the door. I yawned again then stretched. Comfortably, I cradled into the blue sheets of the bed.

"Boy did we ever have a long day," he said, close to falling to sleep. I was too tired to pay attention. I felt like I could sleep forever, but I quickly re-thought that. With one last yawn I slowly drifted to sleep.


:D I hope everything is clear enough to understand. –yawn- I guess I'm gonna go take a nap, I've been working really hard on this. Not that it's tiring, my cats wear me out. They can be so annoying sometimes... X3
