WOW...It's been a while. I am SOOOOOOOOO SORRY! I had NO idea it would take THIS long to update this chapter. I hope you all aren't mad at me...High School takes up a lot of my time, and I'm dating now, so it's hard to get to things like this. (Although that is NO excuse for taking so long to write...) Anyways...Hope you all will come back to my story! It may not be the greatest chapter since I haven't wrote in a while...I did read through the story though. So it SHOULD be OK...

As for the pokemon center comment...I know that. But where else would you take someone? I don't see any hospitals in the shows, movies, or games...Plus, I, as author, can make anything happen in the story!

Oh, and I am terribly sorry, but I have been told multiple times now that author's can not thank reviewers in the stories now. So I can't personally thank everyone of you, but I may put it in my profile or something. Not sure what I'll do yet...

ONTO THE STORY!

Disclaimer: Don't own it...But if I did then I'd...uh...ok...lost my train of thought...suffering from short term memory loss...Hey a quarter! I'll name it Phillip! (Don't own Fairly Odd Parents either...DRAT!...I don't own very much...)

Chapter 13: On the Run!

'You sure this will work?' Eevee asked for about the tenth time.

Umbreon didn't answer. Instead, he perked his two black ears straight up.

'Umbreon?' The kitsune questioned again.

'Shh...someone is coming...' He hissed.

The dark pokemon ran to the farthest corner from the door. Here, he blended in with the wall almost perfectly.

Matthew, unaware of any of this, walked into the room with a bag of poke' chow, and two bowls. Sneasol walked beside him with a bottle of water in her claws.

He, unlike his father, wasn't as cruel and heartless towards pokemon and other people. He believed that his father should be in prison, but that would never happen...Sure he had been rude to those rockets, but he was not truly that way. He was caught between doing what he believed was right, and trying to please his father.

Matthew stopped as he walked into the room. An Eevee? Wasn't there suppose to be two pokemon?

"Sneeee..." His partner growled. It was looking at the far right corner in the room.

'Of course!' Matt thought in his head, 'A dark type! It must be hiding.'

"Come on buddy. I know your there," He said to the hiding pokemon.

'Eevee...you can make it...run!' He whispered to the smaller fox, so the Sneasol wouldn't hear him.

Eevee looked shocked. She didn't want to leave him behind!

'But-'

'GO!' He shouted again, this time pouncing out of the shadows and onto the unsuspecting human. He wasn't attacking him. Only distracting...

Eevee wouldn't let her friend's courage go to waste. Using agility, she darted between the humans' legs and out the door.

"Snea!" The cat like pokemon shouted, running towards the door.

She ran under her trainer's legs, but unlike Eevee, didn't make it. Umbreon had made Matthew loose his balance, causing him to fall right when the poor Sneasol chose to run out the door.

"SNEASOL SNEA!" She shouted trying to squirm out from beneath the human.

"That's enough of that!" Matt yelled. "Now sit still!"

He grabbed Umbreon at the scruff of his neck. The fox kicked and yowled, but to no avail. Matt wouldn't let go.

After FINALLY getting him to settle down, and after shutting the door, Matt put food and water in the bowls.

"Great...Now the Eevee is gone...At least she has a chance to get away..." Matt mumbled to himself.

Umbreon had heard what he said. Did he WANT them to get away? He looked at the person before him with his head cocked to one side.

"What? You think I like to see you all caged in like this? I want to be a normal trainer as much as the next person..." He sighed.

"Umbre Umbreon?" 'Why don't you help us then?'

"You know I can't understand your language..." He said.

"Snea Sneasol Snea?" His own pokemon translated for him.

(AN: In the movies and series, Ash always talks to his pokemon, as well as all of the other trainers. So I think they CAN understand their OWN pokemon...or the ones they've been around for a period of time...)

"Why don't I let you go?" He asked. Umbreon shook his head.

"I can't do that! I'd get fired!" He retorted.

'I thought you hated this job anyways...' The dark creature retorted to its trainer.

Matthew was quiet for a moment. He stood up and opened the door.

"Come on then Umbreon. But you must stay with me, and listen to me. I don't want to get caught doing this by my father..."

Umbreon's face brightened, if possible for a dark type, but then he looked worried.

'Eevee!' He said more to himself then to the duo beside him.

She could be in danger now.

"Sneasol!" The other dark type said to it's trainer.

"Of course! The Eevee! We must find it before someone else does!"

With that said, the trio took off down the hallway. Unknowing to them, the small Eevee had darted the other direction only minuets before...

"Here you are. You and your little boyfriend will be comfortable together here," Mark Krad smirked.

'Comfortable' wasn't exactly the word to describe the room. It had a concrete floor and walls, and no windows. The only light was a lantern that hung from the ceiling. To Rika, it looked more like a dungeon than anything she had seen before.

The guards that were holding either of Rika's arms thrust her onto the cold floor. By the time she had sat up, the door had been slammed shut. They had taken her pokeballs and backpack before they had came to this room.

"Go and bring the boy into the room with her. We may not be able to do the experiment if Mew is too weak. They can stay here overnight, or possibly longer," She heard Mark tell the two guards.

'Gary?' Rika thought. 'Is he going to be in here with me? I really hope he's Ok...'

She hoped so. She was cold, bruised, (from the Houndoom pouncing on her in the hall, and from the guards being so brutal escorting her), and needed someone to be with. Gary would be the one person in the world that she would choose to be with anytime.

She walked over to the wall, leaned against it, and after a moment, slid down so she was sitting. All she could do now was wait...

Okay, like I said, not the best chapter ever, and it's very short...PLEASE don't tell me that if you review, cause I already noticed...BUT, at least you know I'm still working on this! IT WILL GET BETTER! I PROMISE!

Just give me a little bit of time. I APSOLUTALY PROMISE THAT GARY AND RIKA'S EXPERIMENT WILL BE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! That's a promise! And I also promise to make the next chapter long.

Adios for now! Love you all, and PLEASE REVIEW!
