QE:I own nothing.

Gary lay down and watched Steven try to wake her up. Her, his best friend. Deep down he knew she wouldn't wake up. The Shuppet next to him tiny heart was racing. They knew he really liked her.

"Eevee." They felt sorry for him.

Out the corner of his eye Gary saw a something white moving. He turned his head to see a young girl wearing a white dress and holding a Torchic. She had brown hair and bright green eyes. She had a sh with he finger then blow something out of her hand towards Eevee. She waved and disappeared. Somehow she looked a lot like Eevee.

There was coughing going from Eevee. "Eevee." Steven held her close to him.

"Please." Eevee plead. "Stop."

"Eevee it's me Steven." He held her face up so she could see him. He hadn't notice the paleness of her tear stricken face. "I promise I'll let no one hurt you while I'm here."

"Steven?" He nodded to reassure her. "I…" She just burst into tears.

He just held her.

Gary looked around. Shuppets gone. How long ago did she leave?

"I can't run that fast." Flame. Gary shook his head and stood up.

"Eevee can you walk?" Steven asked quietly. He didn't want to upset her anymore.

"Yes." She murmured. "Please help me up."

Steven helped her up. She was so unsteady on her feet she nearly fell over.

"We're in so…" Flame started. "Eevee what happened?"

"Please can we get out?" her voice was hoarse and dry.

"Yeah." Flame walked tot he other side of her and helped her up.

Gary shook his head. His eyes turned blue and the air around him followed. When the light died down they were standing next to the camp they had made earlier.

A black hounds watched as the two humans lied the girl down. He had seen this before and feared the worse. The pack couldn't. If they did they'll all end up died. Except if he contacted one of the humans pokemon. Would it believe him? Most likely not. They never did. They always laughed in his face.

"Roland." A younger pup ran up to him. "Mummy says don't bother."

He looked at the young one and nodded. "Miss Florence."

"Flo." She said distasteful.

"It would end the curse."

"And your life." She didn't mean to but it just came out.

"What's one life of an old dog to a life of a young girl?" He looked out at the sky.

"We'll miss you." She didn't want to lose him.

"For how long?"

The question caught her off guard. Maybe because there was no emotion in his voice. "I don't know. You're like a dad to me."

"You are like a daughter but my time is nearly at its end."

"And the Shuppet's?" She wanted to hold on to him.

"When they intervened they paid for it." He's voice was hard. He suddenly got up and walked towards the camp. He waited until the bigger of the two boys held the girl in his arms and nodded off. The younger and smaller of the two was feeding the pokemons.

Flame placed Houndoom's food down. He was so tired he swore he saw two Houndooms looking at him. He lay down and fell deep into sleep.
