"Well," Crescent began. "There is always a Dragonite with the shape of the crescent moon on him. If the old one dies, there is always another Dratini born with a crescent moon on his forehead." He paused to point to the little crescent moon on his forehead.
"So," I said. "You were born with a crescent moon."
"Yes," Crescent said. "You see, the clan that is around here, plus all the Pokemon, thinks that the crescent moon Dratini is evil. All Dragonites with the crescent moon are good. But do the clan and the Pokemon believe it, no. They say that I'm evil."
"How did you learn this?" I asked. "Besides, how old you are?"
"I'm four weeks old," Crescent said. "My parents told me of this legend before they dumped me off here. They got killed and they are trying to look for me."
"The clan?" I asked.
"The elder," Crescent replied. "Says his name is Creskiller."
"Oh dear," I said. "He has the word crescent and the word killer in the same name. Creskiller. Oh dear."
"It is terrible," Raptor said. "How do you survive the Noctowls?"
"I find a place to hide myself at night," Crescent replied. "I created a little hole underneath a tree."
"There he is," a voice split the air. We turned and saw a very huge Dragonite coming our way.
"If you were to leave," I said, turning to face Crescent. "It would be now."
"How?" Crescent asked. I brought the card out that Arceus gave me and called her forth.
"You got him?" Arceus asked. I put Raptor back in his Pokeball and held Crescent.I looked back as the Dragonite came ever so closer to the clearing.
"Let's get out of here," I said as I took Arceus' paw. "Close your eyes Crescent." I closed my eyes, and I'm not sure if Crescent did the same, but there was a flash of light. I opened my eyes and saw that we were back at the mansion.
"You can open your eyes Crescent," I said. I put Crescent down as he started to look around.
"Hey Blacky," Crescent said as I turned and was about to walk off with Arceus.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I would like to join your team," Cresent said. "If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead."
"Okay," I said as I turned around and threw a Pokeball at him. I picked the Pokeball up and turned to walk with Arceus. Articuno ran by and I didn't see Geot.
'Arceus," I said. "Where's Geot?"
"He went to go help out with a Vulpix that shoots out emerald flames," Arceus said.
"Emerald flames?" I asked.
"Yes," Arceus said. "And I've got to do a mission involving kraals."
"Kraals?" I asked.
"Pirates," Arceus replied.
"Oh dear," I said.
"Exactly," Arceus said. "I want you to be in the front office and if any Pokemon come and say that they need help, take an order. Just don't help because they are going to be tough. Okay?"
"Understood," I said. Arceus disappeared and I went to the front office. I realised Raptor and Crescent. I didn't know how many hours it was until we started talking.
"What did you mean by Noctowls?" I asked Raptor.
"I am greatly respected by them," Raptor said, turning his head sideways to the right to show a Noctowl's feather sticking out. "The Noctowls are nocternal and will eat anything that is moving."
"Stop it," Crescent said. "I almost got eaten by them once, but thank Spir that the sun came up. They found my hole once, nearing daybreak. So I was forced to move my little hole. Now that I'm with you guys, I don't have to do that anymore."
"Spir?" I asked.
"The first Dratini," Crescent replied. "He was great friends with Eon the first Eevee."
"Eon?" I asked.
"Eon had blue eyes and I forgot what other colors," Raptor said.
"Cool," I said.
"I think he had blue eyes," Raptor said.
"Um excuse me," a tiny voice said. I overlooked the desk I was sitting at to see a Buizel.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Aqua," the Buizel said.
"What is it that you need?" I asked.
"Well," Aqua said, unsure of herself. "My family was killed and I have no idea Draqua went."
"Draqua?" Raptor asked.
"My brother," Aqua said. "When we get to finally swim, we have to come up with our new name. I want mine to be Aquran."
"Okay," I said.
"I would like to know if I can stay here," Aqua said.
"I guess," I said.
"Help," a strong voice rung out. We turned to see an Ivysaur running towards us. "I need help."
"Can I leave a message?" I asked.
"No," Ivysaur replied. "You have to come now. My village is being under attack by a Dragonite clan. The leader is Creskiller."
"CRESKILLER?" Crescent, Raptor, and I screamed. I really needed to help this Ivysaur, but I couldn't disobey orders from Arceus. What was I suppose to do
"Follow your heart Black Eevee," a voice in my head said. "Follow yor heart, and that will lead you to becoming a true snagger." So, I choose my decision.
