Good news, people! I'm on Christmas break now, and HOPEFULLY will be updating a lot more frequently. With that said, here's the chapter inspired by the time I lost my glasses. XD

After Trevor, Tierno, Calem, and Shauna left, Lily looked at Amy. "Hey, do you want to have our first Pokemon battle against each other?" she asked hopefully.

Amy shrugged. "Sure, but I warn you, my Froakie has a type advantage over your Fennekin."

Lily grinned. "I don't care! Let's battle!"

Amy found herself smiling too, her sister's cheeriness was infectious. "Okay! Go, Froakie!"

The little frog Pokemon hopped out of her arms and stood at attention.

"Go! Fennekin!" The fox Pokemon, which had not moved from it's place by her feet, trotted forward a couple steps.

Amy ordered, "Froakie! Use Water Gun!" Froakie obediently spewed a jet of water from its mouth, hitting Fennekin with full force and knocking the other Pokemon to the ground.

Lily rushed forward, immediately reaching the side of the near-fainted Pokemon. "Fennekin? Hang in there Fennekin, it'll be ok." The little fire fox raised its head, then dropped it just as quickly, closing it's eyes.

Lily quickly began freaking out, shaking Fennekin and shouting it's name. Amy was quickly at her side. "It's fine." She soothed, big sister style. The two may be twins, but Amy is definitely more mature. "Fennekin just fainted, it'll be fine. We just need to get it to the nearest Pokemon Center."

Lily looked up slowly, tears running down her cheeks. She hiccupped slightly as she asked, "Wh- Where is that?"

"Santalune City, I think. Froakie and I will battle any wild Pokemon, don't worry." Froakie nodded in agreement.

The sisters forged ahead into Santalune Forest, armed with Froakie's Water Gun and several Pokeballs Amy had bought before leaving Aquacorde Town. Suddenly the grass rustled and a little Scatterbug popped out. Amy grinned viciously.

"Froakie, use Tackle." Her Pokemon responded to her orders perfectly, tackling the opposing Pokemon and holding it down. Amy threw a Pokeball at it, and the little caterpillar became encapsulated within seconds. Amy handed it to Lily.

Lily looked surprised. "What's this for? You should keep it!"

Amy shook her head. "Lil, I don't think you are going to be a Pokemon battler."

Lily frowned. "What do you mean?"

Amy smiled. "You're too nice to force little creatures to battle. I saw how you were when Fennekin fainted. Battling Pokemon faint a lot, Lil, and I don't think you could do that. You strike me as a person that would like just having Pokemon and being around them."

Lily looked away. It was true. She had been trying to think of a way to tell Amy that she couldn't battle, but her sister had read her like a book. "But the Scatterbug?"

"A present. You're still going to need Pokemon to play with. You should keep that one and take care of it."

Lily smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Ames." Just then a bright light flashed from up ahead. "Look! I bet it's the exit!" She ran towards it.

"Lily, be careful, it might be…" An electrical shock ran up Lily's legs, knocking her backwards.

"An electric Pokemon." Amy finished in irritation, glaring at the little yellow mouse. It glared back at her, sparks coming out of its cheeks.

Amy looked at Froakie. "I don't suppose you have anything that will wrok on the little monster, do ya?" She asked. Froakie shook its head no.

Amy glanced down at Lily's Fennekin, than shook her head. The poor thing was fainted. Her eyes fell next on the Scatterbug. She shrugged. "Only chance we have." She muttered, grabbing Scatterbug's Pokeball off of her still-dazed sister's belt. She threw it and the little bug Pokemon burst out, looking less then one-hundred percent. Amy frowned, remembering that her Froakie had tackled the Scatterbug. It hadn't fainted, so it had to be an okay level.

"Scatterbug, use Stun Spore!" Amy said, hoping that the little Pokemon knew the move.

It did. Scatterbug shook the fluff around it's neck vigorously and a cloud of yellow spores drifted out, stunning the Pikachu. However, the effects didn't last long because Amy had forgotten to account for one thing.

"Electric type Pokemon can't get paralyzed!" Amy groaned, feeling stupid. They had learned type/status condition immunities in school just last month. "Scatterbug, try String Shot!"

The Scatterbug bunched itself up, then spat a long stream of sticky web from its mouth. The Pikachu was quickly wrapped up, and it collapsed.

Amy grinned, readied a Pokeball, and threw it at the defenseless electric mouse. One shake. Two shakes. Three shakes. Click!

Amy walked over to collect the Pokeball from where it had fallen, and returned Scatterbug to its rightful place in her sister's team. Lily groaned and pulled herself upright, finally shaking off the effects of the shock. "Amy? What? Where did the little Pikachu go? It was mean." She muttered.

Amy shook her head. "I borrowed your Scatterbug to help catch it. He's gonna need the Pokemon center too once we get there."

Lily blinked. "So you caught it? Cool! We both have two Pokemon now!"

Amy nodded. "Yeah, but for some reason I feel like this guy won't be very helpful." The Pikachu in question was now noticeably pouting in its Pokeball.

"Well, at least we can go heal our Pokemon. There's the end of the forest!" At Amy's cynical look she added, "For real this time, I can actually see some buildings!"

Amy looked in the direction her sister was pointing, and to her surprise there actually were buildings there. "Huh. What do you know."

Lily was already running. "I know I'm gonna beat you there!"

Amy smiled and took off after her, and soon the sisters emerged into the bright light of Santalune City.

Amy yawned. "Lil, I'm super tired. Maybe after we heal our Pokemon, we should get a room at the Pokemon Center."

Lily frowned. "But it's only about four in the afternoon, Ames, we haven't even had dinner yet."

"I know," Amy yawned again. "Pokemon battling must have taken a lot out of me."

Lily gave a worried look to her sister, but led the way into the Pokemon center.

Nurse Joy gave the two bedraggled girls a big smile. "Would you like me to heal your Pokemon?"

"Yes, please!" Lily said, pushing Fennekin and Scatterbug's Pokeballs onto the counter. Her sister was a bit slower to act, but she placed Froakie and Pikachu's Pokeballs on the counter too.

Nurse Joy placed the four Pokeballs on a table-like contraption with six Pokeball-shaped indents.

I really have no clue how to describe that thing. Hopefully you all already know what I'm talking about.

The Pokeballs glowed a few times, then Nurse joy handed them back the the girls with the Pokemon inside completely refreshed. Lily grinned. "Thank you so much! Isn't this great, Amy? Our Pokemon are okay!" When she got no response from Amy, Lily glanced at her sister, only to find she had finally succumbed to exhaustion and was snoring on the floor.

Lily glanced back up at Nurse Joy, looking a little ashamed. "Ah, we'll also take a room for the night, please?"

Amy woke up to the sound of her sister rummaging through their backpacks for dinner. She cracked her eyes open and immediately screeched in pain, covering her face with her pillow.

Lily rushed over to her sister at once. "Ames, what's wrong? You're starting to worry me."

Amy's muffled voice came from the pillow. "It's way too bright. And early. Why am I awake?"

Lily's voice filled with concern. "It's seven at night and the sun is almost down. It isn't dark at all. As for why you're awake… why were you sleeping?"

"I needed too. I was sleepy. And the light is freaking blinding, how can you now see it?"

Lily looked out the window. "Well, the sun is behind the trees now, so you can come out… I guess that's how it works?"

Amy's head popped out from under the cushion and she slowly opened one eye, then snapped the other open once seeing that it was dark. A big grin stretched over her face. "Alright! Geez, how could you see with that blinding light? This is so much better."

Lily frowned. "Amy, I can hardly see now. How the heck can you see? I'm just gonna turn the light on very, very, low. Okay."

Her sister pouted. "Fine."

Lily carefully tapped one of the buttons on the light switch, brightening the room just a fraction. Still, her sister had her eyes snapped shut when she turned around. "Amy." She sighed. "I took a class in veterinary studies. I know what I'm doing! There's something wrong with your eyes."

Amy's right eye flickered open for just a second, but it was long enough for Lily to see what she needed to see. The eye was bright red.

DUN DUN DUNNNNN. I know, I'm terrible, but new longest chapter! YAY!
