"Sun blink?" I asked in a whisper.
"Yes," Martin said. "Sun blinking is when one sleeps in the sun too long, you don't know which way is up or down."
"Sounds terrible," I said horrified.
"You don't know the have of it," Martin said as two, almost identacle twins stepped up to a hill.
"All right," one of them said, in a gruff, rural voice. "My name is Shadow Moon. I, too, was once a number, but I received my new name."
"Whhh-" Martin started to ask, but snapped off the question.
"I see a disguisting question forming on your lips 3-50," Shadow Moon snapped. "Listen up. Questions are not to be asked. If you do ask a questions, you will be the directed under laughter therapy. Now, my brother shall adress you." I saw Martin almost pass out, due to Shadow Moon yelling mostly at him.
"I too was once a number," the other guy said. "But I have received my new name, Shadow Sun. When sleeping under full shine, you are to have your head dipped up to the sun, but you are not allowed to have your head towards your body, or any other way humans sleep."
"If you do sleep in any other way," Shadow Moon said. "You will be removed from the sleeping section and be executed. You will also say your old name repeatedly while sleeping. And you will also hear a sound alarm. If you hear one shriek, that means to sleep. If you hear two shrieks, you stop where you are." At the same time, they both spoke together.
"NOW SLEEP!"
I looked towards the sky to sleep. My eyes were closed, but I couldn't sleep. Maybe Aunt Snowy would believe me. I was saying my name repeatedly. When the sound of a Skarmory shrieked twice, and we stopped. I noticed that Martin and the other kids, along with me, were saying our names repeatedly without them having any meaning.
"Martin," I said to him in a whisper.
"Yes," Martin said in a whisper.
"They are sun blinking us with our names," I said. Martin opened his eyes in realization that if he said his name too much, it will lose its meaning.
"We should say our number," I said. "That way, our name should stay our name."
"Okay," Martin said as the sound alarm sounded off. Little did I realize, there were two little birds, a Pidgey and a Starly, watching us from afar. I was to busy trying not to sleep, or say my name when the two birds swooped down and started attacking any Pokemon in sight. The Starly stopped in midflight, right in front of my face too.
"Follow me," it said.
"Huh?" I asked in a confused voice.
"You and the kid," the Starly saod. "Follow me. Gustav is just a distraction while I lead you two out."
"Why us?" I asked.
"Just follow," the Starly commanded. "I'll tell you along the way." Martin looked at me.
"Let's go," I said as we ran after the Starly. Once we were well away from the canyon, I noticed the Pidgey, or Gustav, as the Starly called him.
"Who are you?" Martin asked.
"My name is Raptor," the Starly said. "And that's Gustav." I noticed that the sun was setting.
"Don't worry about Noctowls or anything," Gustav said. "We have a Noctowl's fetaher."
"But why us?" I asked.
"We needed a human that truely loves Pokemon," Raptor said.
"I love Pokemon," I said. "I play it all the time."
"So I've heard, Black Eevee," Raptor said.
"Huh?" I asked again.
"I know Blacky," Raptor said. "That you may be confused at first, but it will snap off in time."
"Blacky?" I asked.
"Yes," Gustav said. "Legend said that there will be a boy and a girl that will make all the difference. The girl and boy will meet at the stone canyon, and the girl will own a Starly and the boy a Pidgey. The girl will be known as Black Eevee, and they boy will be known as Rocket Geot."
"Rocket Geot?" Martin asked.
"Geot is short for Pidgeot," Raptor said. "We are suppose to be snaggers, ending the Shadows forever."
"Shadows?" I asked.
"Shadow Glace," Raptor said. "Does that name ring a bell."
"Yes," I said.
"They are Shadows," Raptor said. "We are Snaggers."
"So we are suppose to end the Shadows?" Martin asked.
"Yes," Gustav said.
"I am Black Eevee," I said proudly, as I let Raptor up on my arm.
