Narrator: You come to the new chapter and read this text. Now my boss gets really angry at me. "Oh crap."
Blade: "You bet he is. Leave."
Narrator: I now leave the room with a disappointed look on my face and Blade- "OW!"
Blade: "Gets ticked off and hit you with a Quick Attack. Sorry about that folks, so enjoy the chapter. And just to make a point clear, in the realm that the Spirits reside, time moves differently. And I am so sorry for not posting in a while. It was caused by school and parents. That is all I will say on this matter. So this week, I'm introducing a poll that will allow you, my readers, to decide which stories I will update. The two stories with the most votes at the end of every week will be updated. But in the mean time, Read and Review the chapters."
Chapter Eight: A single clue...
Our heroes, heroines (Author: Note that these include the pokemon they have) and Mewtwo are discussing how they are going to get to the temple without attracting to much attention. Gardevoir suggested teleporting, but the idea was killed when they found out that there was some sort of anti-teleporting shield around the building and a good three miles. Nova wanted to fly but was discouraged by a unexplained thunderstorm. Eventually, they decided to split up into three groups. Sabre's pokemon would take their pokeballs and moved on their own with Mewtwo travelling with them. Justin would make his way through Mt. Moon and then to the Pewter City while Sabre traveled with Eon. But to make sure that Sabre wasn't put in a cage going through a city, she had to swallow her pride and get into a pokeball. Instead of having someone else catch her, she caught herself with a luxury ball she kept for a special occasion.
Sabre was expecting to be crammed in the ball. Instead, she was in some sort of room filled with items designed to amuse Eevees. "Okaay, this is not what I expected. But then again, I am in a luxury ball." said Sabre as she was wandering around. When she came across a Vaporeon plush toy, she remembered her Vaporeon, although since she was a eevee she didn't actually own him, but she own his pokeball. She began to cry quietly as she missed her friend. Then the plush moved and startled Sabre. "Why are you crying?" asked the toy. Not knowing what was happening, she said "Err, it's rather personal. Mind telling me what this place is?"
"Simple. You are in a luxury ball. All pokeballs have a facility for pokemon to play and sleep in, though it differs between the type of pokeball. For example, the standard pokeball will only provide a bed and a suitable environment. Here though, it is designed to make the pokemon more friendly to their trainer. If the pokemon evolves, the environment changes to suit their needs." As soon as the toy was finished, it ushered Sabre to follow it. They walked to a bed surrounded by toys all staring at the bed. Creepy. I may have the toy rearrange those so they're not all looking at me. thought Sabre. "You'll be sleeping there and I will comfort you, seeing how you are in a state of sadness." said the toy. Not knowing when she'll be let out, she went over to her new bed and lied down. The toy curled up around Sabre protectively which somehow calmed her down.
About a half hour later, Sabre was woken up by a red light and she appeared in front of a bowl with food in it. She looked up to she Eon holding out her collar. Knowing what he meant, Sabre nodded and he fitted the collar on Sabre. "How long was I in there?" asked Sabre. "About two hours. It began to get late and I decided to let you out for dinner." answered Eon. "That better not pokemon food." Sabre said with a hint of warning in her voice. "There wasn't enough human food for the both of us." said Eon. Sabre sighed and said "It's not that, but since I have been camping and living off of berries I keep finding, highly processed food makes me gag." Eon looked at me for a moment before shrugging replacing the normal pokemon food with several berries.
After dinner, Eon asked if he could put Sabre back in here pokeball. She thought about it for a moment before reluncticaly agreeing. In the pokeball, Sabre was surprised to find the Vaporeon plush toy waiting for her. "Are you going to do that every time I come here?" Sabre asked. "Unless you wish for me to not, yes. I wish to learn more about why you were sad earlier. Your mind seems different to the regular pokemon and thus makes it difficult for the pokeball to create a suitable environment." Sabre nodded and explained her whole scenario. The toy sat there listening to everything she was saying. When Sabre was done, the toy said "That is ... quite the story. I now understand why you were sad earlier and why the ball has a hard time creating a suitable environment for you. I will take this into account and modify the ball for your unique situation. In the mean time, please feel free to have a look around."
Doing as the toy said, Sabre began to search for something to amuse her while stuck in the ball. She found a ball pit, a automatic tennis ball machine, a automated beauty salon (which she completely ignored) and some sort of game console. She decided to get some more sleep as she might run in to the Spirits anyway.
In her dream, Sabre was surrounded by the Spirits yet again. "Now how'd I know you would show up?" Sabre asked sarcastically. Ignoring the comment, Castro stood up and said "We wish offer a warning." "Alright so what is it?" Sabre asked almost impatiently. "When the Moonfall is defeated, the Eclispe will begin, and your world's destiny will become intertwined with anothers. You must work with a man who lost everything and sacrifices it all to protect his home to stop it." said the man in the blue cloak. "What is that even supposed to mean?." asked Sabre. "It's, as you say, how we roll." said the dead king. "Do I at least get a hint on how this is supposed to help me beat Moonfall?" asked Sabre. The Spirits discussed it in a language Sabre couldn't understand, then the king said "Why not. You will find the key to Moonfall's defeat in the temple."
Sabre woke up once again by the red light. This time she was in front of the Temple of Evolution. She was greeted by Soleil who said "So how was the pokeball?" Sabre shrugged. "Alright, lets go over a plan of action. Eon, you and all the pokemon will distract Moonfall while Justin will sneak behind him. Justin will throw the Master ball and hopefully catch him." "So what are you going to do?" asked Bubbles. "While I was in the ball, I met the Spirits again and they told me something that I need to investigate. I'm going to do so." said Sabre. Once everyone was set, they entered the temple.
Blade: "And that is this chapter."
Sabre: "What am I supposed to be searching for again?"
Blade: "I'll tell you when my readers leave. So please post a reveiw."
