QE:I own nothing.


He was right. Something in the trees was watching us. It's not unnerving but odd. Two bright blue eyes watched me.

"You two ok?" Eevee's standing in front of us.

"Yeah." Rioru saw it too. Why did he lie?

"You sure?" Mewtwo's trying not to look at us but you can see he's looking out the corner of his eye.

"We thought we saw something that's all." I put on a fake smile. I really don't think it fooled her.

"What did it look like?" She is eyeing me carefully.

"Blue eyes." How did Celebi know?

"How many?" I clad she took her eyes off me.

"One pair." Celebi sounds so serious.

"What does it matter?" Mewtwo really doesn't sound to impressed.

"It matters a lot." Eevee looked at me. "There is a reason you and Rioru saw it." Great. "But." But what? Come on but what? "You two need to go to a temple and." Why doesn't she want to tell us? "It's a silly idea." She's smiling like it doesn't matter.

"If we did go to this temple what would happen?" Rioru sounds so hopeful.

"If the spirits like you then they would help you but it's suicide going." I know she's lying. You can see it in her eyes. "Rioru you will find her."

"How…?" He looks so shocked.

"This old Eevee knows a thing or two." She turns on her tail and walks off. "Tell Evie that I'm skipping Lunch."

A lot of time has past since Eevee left. Celebi was eating with us. Sue was flirting with Flame. I think he likes the attention but not her. Rioru has been silent for ages just quiet. Not like normal. Normally there's light in his eyes. Flame keeps looking at him then carries on talking to Sue. I think Sue really wants to hurt Rioru but something else is doing it. Something deep. Something really painful. I wish he would say.

"Rioru what ever it is there's no point going to the Temple." Flame's not talking to Sue, wow. "Whatever happen you won't find it there. Only bad stuff can come from that place." He's voice sounds so much older.

"How would you know?" Rioru asked. He's still looking at the soup.

"I went looking for answers." Flame is getting up. "She won't help you unless you are asking for someone else."

You can see the tears welling up behind his eyes. "Why do you care? You're a trainers pokemon." I'm shaking. I've never seen him like this before. It's really scary.

"And? I have seen so much more then you would." He stopped and looks Rioru straight in the eyes. "How old were you when you lost your mum?"

Rioru did answer he just walked off.

"Should we?" I really worried. Why is Flame shaking his head?

"If you really want to help him you'll leave him." What does he mean by that? Just forget about him. NO I won't. I can't. I'm going after him.


E.S.P:Rioru's deep dark past.

QE:Yep.

Evestar:Please review.
