Sunlight burned my eyes, and I grabbed my head. I just woke up, having past out yesterday from exhausting my body of nearly all its energy. I knew this because of Blake's voice in the background saying so. The pain was almost intolerable. I writhed in agony, rolling around in what felt like my bed, although it could've easily been the ground knowing how comfortable my bed is. Each second seemed like hours, and the pain refused to go away. After a few more seconds, I blacked out again.

A nudge to my side opened my eyes immediately. I cringed as the pain went to my head, although not nearly as bad as before. I managed to keep my eyes open and blinked a few times, getting used to the sunlight. I turned my head to see what woke me up. It was the TM I had used the day before. As I saw it, I growled a bit before throwing it into the woods. There was an awkward silence going on. It was like the whole world just stopped for a few minutes. I ignored it and began my routine. I stretched and a few seconds later I instinctively walked over to the river to groom myself. I saw Kera was sleeping on the ground a few yards away from me and debated myself on whether I should wake her up or not. I decided against it and continued grooming. About a minute later I heard something walk up behind me. I turned around to see Kera, looking at my teary-eyed with a sad look on her face.
"Uh, hi?" I said, kind of confused as to what she was crying about. Her eye twitched before running into me and crying in my chest.
"Kera, what's wrong?" I asked. I stopped when I realized something. I actually cared about how Kera felt (and I had that weird feeling in the pit of my stomach again). I shook it off.
"The Absol came! He talked to Dad, then I passed out!" she was crying ferociously now, and I patted her back to try and get her to calm down. If only I wasn't so scared, then it would have worked better. What were we going to do without Blake and Krystal? We had no one to protect us, no one to get our food, and most importantly Kera lost her parents. I knew how that felt, and I wasn't about to put her through it. I turned my head and saw the brown bag with the TM's in it. I walked over without thinking and sprayed myself with both TM's. I became very exhausted, but maintained my composure.
"Come on, Kera, we're going to find them." I sounded way more confident then I was I looked over and it had obviously helped Kera, because her face lit up after I said it, and that's all that mattered.
"Now... how to find them." I walked over to where Kera saw Blake last and saw footprints of the Umbreon on the ground. I stopped for a second. This all seemed way to easy. Kera, oblivious to everything I was thinking, began marching in the direction of the footprints. I shrugged off my thoughts and caught up with Kera. After about 4 minutes of walking in silence, a voice broke the silence.
"Hehe, there's the the kid Scar wants." I looked around and saw no one. I got in a battle pose and looked around more.
"Ohh, look how cute the little Eevee kid looks. He thinks he can fight me! Hahaha!" the voice rang out again, and I knew where he was. I shot a strong Shadow Ball in the direction of the voice: right above us. A brown blur jumped off the tree and landed right in front of us. It was a Raticate, with a weird symbol on his chest that looked like a snake wrapped around a skull.
"Nice try kid. I guess the Umbreon taught you tricks?" he laughed and disappeared in a blur.
"Quick attack..." I thought to myself. I backed up a step. He could be anywhere. Nothing happened for a second, and then I was hit into a tree with amazing force. I winced when I heard the bone crack. My left hind leg was out of commission for awhile. My mouth was wide open with a terrified expression.. Kera was frozen to the spot, about to cry because of what was going on. I shrugged off the pain and limped back to where I was before.
"How'd the tree taste kid?! Hahahahahaha!" he stood a few yards in front of Kera and I.
"How am I supposed to beat him? He's evolved!" I thought to myself. For a second, everything seemed doomed. That is, until I remembered one lecture Blake gave me about fighting.
"This better work, because if it doesn't, I'm a goner." I had one shot at this. Everything had to be perfect, but before I did anything, I'd have to have him Quick Attack me again.
"I bet you that you can't do it again." I said smugly with a toothy grin on my face.
"You've got balls kid. I like that." he laughed and disappeared once more. I waited with a terrified expression on my face.
Then I heard what I wanted to hear.
"Die!" I knew where he was and swung my tail, or should I say Iron Tail. It was a direct hit, right in the stupid rat's face. He flew several yards, and I fell over. The rats body went limp, and he stopped breathing.
"He got what he deserved." I smiled, and then everything went black again.
