AN: I don't own Pokemon, it is the property of Game Freak and Nintendo.


[Damn ungrateful pest] I muttered, [I was trying to help him]

I walked onto the Ice Path, glowering as the cold shot up my paws. [I suppose it's my own fault] I hiss, [trying to be nice and all!] I let out a blast of magical leaf into the cave, I let out attack after attack.

I breath in heavily, [Stupid Espeon, stupid Dragonair, stupid kid!] I snarl, sending out a shadow ball, [I hate them! They're a bunch of kids, they know nothing, Team Rocket HA! They're nothing compared to Galactic and Cyrus. I tried to be nice and that won't work, I tried being mean and that didn't work. I WANT TO GO HOME! WHY WON'T SHE LET ME!]

[….ha…ha….ha] I breathed, […why did she get rid of me? What did, what did I, what did I DO WRONG!] I screamed and blasted out one final shadow ball.

Crack.

That did not sound good; I was frozen as the Ice around me shattered. [Damn] I cried, looking around desperately the ice was cracking on every side, I was trapped! [What to do. What to do!] I screamed.

The Ice gave way and I fell into the icy waters.

"Thanks Typhlosion" Lyra smiled, patting his black pelt, "I don't know what I would do without you"

Espeon curled up in the tent, [Stupid Leafeon] he muttered, [Even if I was at a type disadvantage, I shouldn't have lost so easily] he scowled, [And what does he know about it, when has he ever fainted in battle or failed his trainer, he never even tried to get along with us. And he talks about teams; he doesn't even want to be here]

"Leafeon!" Lyra calls looking around, "Leafeon, where'd you go?" She frowned, "he's not here" she sighed, "that's not good, he could get hurt here. LEAFEON!" she cupped her mouth and called for him.

[Why bother? He doesn't want to be here] Espeon growled, [Okay] Dragonair slunk up to him, [What's wrong with you? You've been in a mood all night]

[Nothing Dragonair] he muttered, Whap! Dragonair hit him with his tail, [Don't lie, I practically saw you grow from a kid]

[Maybe I should have evolved at night, become an Umbreon, I would have won then] he said softly, [You're loss to that woman's Arbok? Is that it?]

[It's a big deal!] he protested. Dragonair laughed, [Listen buddy, we all fail sometimes, that's the point of the team, we can accomplish more than we could alone]

[You don't need help, Typhlosion doesn't need help, Pigeot, Leafeon! They can battle alone!] he yells, [Am I really so weak that I always need back up!]

[Espeon] Pigeot chirped, stretching out his wings as he landed beside him, [You know that's not true, team's stick to together, you're a bruiser buddy, just need to a bruiser in training at the moment.]

[Guys] Typhlosion whispered, refusing to move from his protecting Lyra from the cold.

[I fell so easily to that snake!] Espeon whimpered, waving his tail softly, [You know, that Dewgong flattened me, one Ice beam and I was done] Dragonair confessed, [Yeah, his Ice types were brutal] Pigeot shivered, [You, you lost?] Espeon sniffled, [Course, we were at a disadvantage, but we fought through it, come on, Esp, you're a tough kid] Dragonair sighed, [Lyra knows that, we know that and so do you]

[Guys] Typhlosion said a little louder.

[I guess your right Dragonair] Espeon smiled, using his tail to wipe away tears, [I won't give up, no matter what!]

[Listen you idiots!] Typhlosion roared, causing Lyra to jumped along with the others. [What you old badger!] Pigeot squawked, [Leafeon is gone] Typhlosion said simply, [He's been gone since the runt and him fought, find him before she figures out]

Espeon peered around the campsite, the grass evolution was nowhere to be seen, [Dang] Pigeot cursed, stretching his wings out, [Where'd the smug leaf get to?]

[I don't know, he'll turn up though] Espeon attempted to reassure the team, [Let's go look for him] Typhlosion said, nudging Lyra causing the girl to stand up, the two exchanged a couple of looks, "Don't worry" she cooed, "The fire's going strong and I have a bunch of Ultra balls, you guys go have fun but be careful!"

They were already gone.
