QE:I own nothing.


Steven stood in horror as he watched the Ninetales lunge at Eevee. She kept ducking and dodging. He could see that she was weak and tired. Shuppet was trying her hardest to fight.

Skarmory nudged his shoulder.

"Skar?" She whispered.

Steven shook his head.

"Mor?" She replied.

Steven ducked down and picked up a fist-sized stone. "Fine."

Houndoom meandered around the forest searching for Eevee's scent. He knew it was a bad idea running off. Now he was lost. He wandered around in circles.

A lone black cloth floated behind him.

"Go away Shuppet." He growled.

It placed its head to one side.

"Unless you know where Eevee is, go away." He flatted his body and made himself look big.

Shuppet hovered and floated away keeping its eyes on him.

"You want me to follow?" He asked getting up. "I've spent to much time with Happy." He moaned under his breath.

Flame felt unnerved. All the pokemons were quiet. Steven and Eevee weren't back yet. Gary keeps looking at him then the forest.

"What?" Flame said without moving.

Medicham stood up.

"I bet you want me to move don't you?" Flame said standing up.

Medicham nodded.

"Thought so." Flame said putting out the fire.

Eevee didn't know where the rock came from but she was glad when it struck the first Ninetales. She would be really happy if it was the only one. Oh no there was about eight more.

White wings came flying past her face. The familiar call of Skarmory reassured her.

"Skarmory Toxic." Eevee turned to see Steven. He was looking at the battle. He had completely changed like he does when he's battling. She could see that deep down inside him he was daunting Skarmory can take them all on.

"Happy hypnosis." Shuppet nodded and sent circles at random Ninetales trying to avoid Skarmory.

"Shupp." She called out. "Pet."

Eevee nodded and disappeared into the undergrowth. Steven soon followed.

Eevee didn't know Steven was following her and tried to run off. She didn't see the root under all the undergrowth.

"Eevee." Steven helped her up. They looked at each other. Time just stopped. The only sound was they breathing. Steven was the first to come to his senses. "Eevee we need to get back to our pokemon." Eevee nodded.

"Sorry." She whispered her voice was cracking. "I'm sorry I got you involved. I'm sorry that we're stuck here." Her voice broke.

Steven just held her until she stopped. For the first time in his life he was unsure of himself.
