Next chappie of Eternity is now up! Finals are coming up so I may not be able update for a while. But I shall try!

Okay, this is completely random but, I'm gonna put how Crystal's doing in this chapter. o.o this can't be good...

I got 1,191 vies for Eternity!! YAY! –does happy dance- But that only half compared to Destiny (2,577 views!! o.o). T.T Fate only got 875. Weird huh? xD

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I feel so retarded doing this. -.-

Reality

For the rest of the afternoon, Savannah started sulking. No matter what I did, she wouldn't retaliate or talk back, nothing. I sighed, she was stubborn alright. Drew had already entered in the Contest and was getting ready. He got Masquerain to explain it to me, since Absol was acting the same as Savannah, only more hostile.

"Drew wants you to use two opposite Eeveelution attacks," he said to me, "Like a Thunderbolt with a Water gun or a Razor Leaf with a Flamethrower."

I looked at him like he was crazy. "I don't even know how I did it! How can I transform back?!"

He shrugged as best he could. "Just think of something that reminds you of that Eeveelution, or maybe you don't even need to transform, maybe you can just do it on your own." He returned to his Pokeball.

I glared at Drew. Should I even try? I thought to myself. I guess so, it might even be fun. When was the last time I actually had good, clean fun? I could hardly remember. When I was in the forest, when Crystal took me in, when I was an innocent kit.

I suddenly started wondering how worried Crystal was right now...

The little Eevees stared at their paws. "Mommy? Are you okay?" Grace asked in a small voice.

The black colored Pokemon had her eyes closed and was focusing on something. "I'm alright dears," she said softly, "I'm just... thinking."

The laid down at her paws, waiting for her to open her eyes. She thought and thought, waiting for her mother to give her some advice. Mother, do you know where Spirit is?

She pleaded silently to herself that Dawn would hear her. A soothing feeling swept over Crystal and she noticed a presence in her mind. The black Pokemon soon fell asleep.

Familiar darkness and nothingness surrounded her. "Mother?" she asked, her voice echoing around her.

"Crystal," a said purple Pokemon as it came into view, "I have been attempting to contact Spirit, but it hasn't been working."

"Why not?" Her voice had traces of worry and forlorn.

The Espeon sighed. "He hasn't opened his mind enough, and he also had a flashback of some kind not too long ago. It kept me from penetrating his dreams."

She didn't get what her mother was trying to say. Dawn detected this and explained, "He has too much on his mind. I'm not positive, but he seems to have worries that are in the pit of his mind that keep him from letting me in. He also has feelings, and hatred that he needs to set aside. Spirit is too stressed; he needs something to calm him down."

Crystal stood, a determined look glinting in her eyes. "I'll go and find him, I'll search everywhere for him, just like you did for me when I was in trouble. If you know where he is, let me know, but I'm going to get leads on where he is no matter what."

Dawn nodded. She smiled sweetly. "And I'll be with your spirit, all the way."

Crystal saw the purple figure fade and felt someone nudging her. "Mommy are you awake?" Faith asked, her eyes clouded with worry.

"I am now," she said while beginning to stand. "Come one." Crystal bounded into the trees with her two Eevees trailing along.

"Where are we going?"

Crystal gave them a reassuring smile. "To find Spirit of course."

I flexed my paws. We were now in the newly started Contest, and I was on. I felt Butterfree in my stomach. All the people in the stands were eyeing me expectantly. If I didn't get off this stage soon, I felt like I was gonna puke.

Drew signaled for me to do "The Plan". I groaned, there was no keeping my secret hidden now. I decided to use Flamethrower and Water Gun to create a mist. Then I thought of something even better.

I saw my fur color change color right before my eyes, brown to blue. But there was no time to think, so I quickly shot a Water gun attack in the air instead of a Flamethrower. I didn't want to burn the roof down or anything. They fell like raindrops, slowly but steadily.

I quickly made my feelings cool and collected, so I could use and ice type attack and freeze the water attack. I did so and they fell to the ground faster. I rushed to make myself angry, which wasn't easy. I focused on anger and hatred and all those other feeling raging inside me. I hoped and prayed this would work. I breathed speedily with my eyes closed.

I burned the ice and a sparkling mist showered onstage and halfway into the crowd. I smiled, actually proud of what I'd done. I scanned the stunned, but applauding, crowd. I didn't see May, but Savannah was waiting in the crowd. I assumed her trainer was backstage, or she had already preformed. She looked at me with her piercing amber eyes. She seemed to have... enjoyed it a little bit. She nodded, giving me a look of congratulations. I smiled in thanks, wondering why I was so happy.

I suddenly heard the woman with the microphone start talking. "Well there's something you don't see every day! What a tactful performance this was, let's give them a hand!" The crowd started cheering louder. I bowed and a few girls in the front giggled. "Aw, he's so cute!"

I walked offstage with Drew and he got so excited it scared me. "That was awesome! Even better than I pictured!" he said enthusiastically. "You deserve a treat."

He walked where the Coordinators were gathering around the small TV screen. They started whispering and asking him questions like "How did your Eevee do that?" or "That was so freakin awesome!"

He grabbed some brown blocks of Poke' block and set them in front of me. I ate it willingly, and did it ever taste sweet! But I liked it that way, it had a little bit of everything in it. Just like... Oran Berries... I swallowed it, a huge pain throbbing in my chest that made me not want to.

I layed down with a gloomy look on my face. Drew turned away from his new fans and stared at me. "What's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

I sighed depressingly. "Not like you can understand me," I said, but I spit it out anyway, "I miss my mother, okay? And I had a dream about something... Oh, I don't know what to think anymore!" I ran down the hallway away from Drew who was causing me even more confusion.

I bumped into someone and started rubbing my aching head. I looked up to see May staring down at me, with Taya next to her. I noticed Savannah not too far from her either, lying on the doorway with a casual look on her face. "Watch where you're going!" I growled.

I glanced at Savannah who was glaring at me. I knew what she wanted and I sighed. "Sorry," I apologized, "For before, and letting my temper getting the best of me." I felt so retarded, why was I doing this anyway? Because Savannah wanted me to? Well that was a first...

Taya smiled weakly. "It's okay, it was only a battle. Besides, I think Talon needs apologizing to. I don't know why, but he's taking it particularly hard."

I do, I thought to myself. "Okay." I glared past her at Savannah. "Thanks a lot!" I shouted to her.

She smiled playfully. "Welcome!"

I glared at her and headed over to Drew. He stared at me questionably but after a while he stopped, realizing I was back to normal. He sat down and I pressed the button of the Pokeball that was on his belt. Absol just happened to pop out.

He gritted his teeth and hissed at me. Talon moved forward. "Before you try to kill me I've got somethin to say." I took a deep breath. "'m sorry for hurting Taya, happy?"

His white chest fur fell and his angry mood began to lighten. That's when I saw him turn to watch the screen. "Who's up?" I asked.

"May and Taya," he answered, eyes fixed on the TV.

I narrowed my eyes. "Why you so concerned about Taya?"

He turned away from the television screen. "Why do you want to know?"

I thought of something quick, but stupid. "Who wouldn't?"

"You?" he snapped back. I decided to go with my gut on this one, not my head.

"Yeah, you got a point there. But that doesn't mean I don't care." I really hoped my gut was goin somewhere with this...

He looked back at the TV. Taya was now performing an ice type attack. I sighed and turned to look at the screen too. Talon spoke, "Well now I see you actually have a point too." I glanced at the Absol. "Taya's been through tough times too, just like I have. But, for some reason, she's always happy. I can relate to some situations she's been in, so I feel particularly close to her, like a brother." I saw him go into thought, but he spoke more anyway. "I just don't get, how she can have the same past as me, and still... keep... smiling."

I suddenly said something that was really unlike me. "Maybe it just depends on your outlook on life, how you decide, how you choose, how you want to live. Maybe the reason she wants to be happy all the time is because she put the past behind her. Maybe because she wants to live happily for May, or even for you." His eyes widened and so did mine. "HOLY CRAP!!" I exclaimed. "I'm becoming a poet or something!"

He chuckled. "Well, I don't know if that's a bad or good thing, but you're still Spirit all that same, right?"

I nodded and laughed. "Right!"

xD Yes, I know I ended it kind of badly, T.T but I needed to update or it'd drive me crazy!
