Author's note: This is my third time trying to do this chapter. It keeps on getting deleted. I hate some of these updates, and I can't do anything about it. Enjoy...

Chapter 4

Zoey had ran out of the forest just in time when she transformed back into herself. She was contemplating what just happened back there.

No! I can't actually be... NO! No, no, no, no, no!

She paced back and forth when she heard a voice inside of her head.

Guess what?

She looked around. There was no one there. She turned towards the forest. There was... Her! The only thing different was her hair seemed to be tinted blue at the tips.

"...Mew?" she asked.

Mew giggled, "Yup! And guess-"

"I can control my powers now?" she asked.

Mew looked hurt. She... he... it... oh never mind, "How did you know?"

"Considering the fact that its the weekend again, and the fact that you were asking me that question, I think that it would be pretty obvious that I can control my powers."

"... Okay. But, I still need to teach you how to use them."

"Why would I need to know now?" she asked.

"Because you're on the other side of the forest!" yelled Mew.

"I'm what?" screamed Zoey as she looked at her surroundings. Sure enough, her house wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Alright. Let's start working on this. Which Pokemon do you want to-"

"Espeon. Definitely Espeon," interrupted Zoey.

"...Okay," said Mew, confused. Mew began to shimmer. It shrunk, and just then, it stopped shimmering and was the shiny Mew who we all know.

That was awesome!

I want you to concentrate on your hand. Think of it turning into an Espeon paw. It's easier if you close your eyes.

Zoey obeyed. She closed her eyes. It was harder than you might think. I mean, her fingers merging together into three. Shrinking down to half its size. Claws forming. Fur growing all across her hands...

Faster than I thought...

Zoey looked down at her hand... her silver paw.

"... This is awesome!" she squealed.

Now, go ahead and transform the rest of your body just like you did with your hand. I need to go now.

And with that, Mew disappeared. Zoey did the rest of the transformation with ease. She sped off into the forest...

"I wonder if I'm still going in the right direction..." said Zoey. She stopped for a second. The air felt moist. It felt kind of like steam. She began to walk forwards some more. She stumbled upon a beautiful area. There seemed to be only Eeveelutions here. She saw one pair, a Vaporeon and a Flareon, using their attacks to create steam.

"So that's why the air's so moist..." she saw a Glaceon and a Jolteon practicing something also. She walked up to the Glaceon.

"What's going on?" she asked. It was the Jolteon who answered.

He said, "We're practicing for the Eevee games!"

Zoey tilted her head, "What are the Eevee games?"

The Jolteon and the Glaceon exchanged glances. They both started laughing. At least, the Jolteon was. The Glaceon seemed to be trying to laugh, but no noise came out.

"You're joking right?" asked the Jolteon. Zoey shook her head no.

The Jolteon sighed, "You must have trapped in a hole for most of your life, haven't you?"

"Yes. Yes I have," said Zoey.

"Well, the Eevee games is a special event, where Eeveelutions work in pairs showing off their own combination of moves. Then, three judges will judge the Eeveelutions. The four pairs with the most points will go on to the next round. Here, the pairs will battle with another pair, and the winners will face off in a final round. Who ever wins, will be granted a ribbon."

"That sounds an awful lot like a Pokemon contest to me."

"The humans stole it from us."

"Ahh," Zoey glanced over at the Glaceon. Curiosity getting the best of her, she asked, "Can she talk?"

"No. Something's wrong with her voice box, which makes it so she can't talk at all. But she's still the best Glaceon in the whole wide world."

The Glaceon seemed to laugh again and they hugged. After they were done, the Jolteon said, "By the way, My name's Rai, and this is Shayla." Rai looked at the tip of Zoey's tail, and her paws, "Are you... partly shiny?"

Zoey nodded. Rai and Shayla stared. Rai yelled, "That's awesome! Wow!"

Shayla nodded. Rai asked, "What's your name?"

Zoey introduced herself. I wonder what it would be like to be in the Eevee games...

She began contemplating this, when a figure rushed through. It just so happened to be John, "Rai, Shayla, little problem. Oh, hey Zoey!"

"You've met?" asked Rai.

"Yeah," said John, "Anyways, the humans are coming!"

"Crap! We can't have another incident!" screamed Rai, "Everyone! Get to your positions!"

Every single Eeveelution stopped what they were doing and ran into the bushes. As John, Rai, and Shayla ran in, Zoey followed them.

John peered out of the bush. So did Rai and Shayla. So Zoey figured that she should do the same. Zoey peeked out of the bush. At first, there was no noise. Then Zoey could hear footsteps. She waited. Then, she could see two pairs of legs. It looked like kids.

"Wow. This spot would be good!" said one.

"Yeah! Let's do it!" said the other one. They both seemed to be boys. They both reached their Pokeballs. But before they could do anything else, the Flareon used Flamethrower.

"AHHHH!" they both screamed. The Vaporeon began to use watergun. Creating the steam from before.

"What's going on?" screamed one.

"I don't know!" screamed the other. They ran into each other. Zoey was kind of confused at this. But I can see just fine!

It seemed as though fate just had a way of answering her questions. John said, "Good thing that we have better eyesight than humans." He looked around again. Then he screamed, "Now, next formation!"

Shayla got ready to attack. She seemed to step out of the bush just a little bit. Zoey could see a few Leafeon step out as well. The Leafeon used Razor leaf. They brushed the kids legs, but didn't cut their pants.

"AHHH!" they screamed again, as they naturally jumped. Shayla got ready to attack. The Vaporeon stayed out, and they used watergun all over the ground. Shayla and a few more Glaceon used icy wind. When the kids landed, they slipped on the ice. They slid into a thicket, and Zoey couldn't help thinking; This must have been planned out for weeks!

John yelled, "Third formation!"

Next, the Leafeon came out. They circled around the thicket. They used a move that Zoey didn't know. It made the thicket grow and entangle the kids.

"Last formation! Let's go!" John mentioned towards Zoey, and hopped out of the bushes. Zoey followed. John, and a couple other Umbreon used some sort of move as well. It made darkness circle all around the kids.

"I can't see!" screamed one of the boys. A few Espeon came out as well. Zoey followed, trying to play along. All the Espeons' jewels glowed a bright purplish pinkish. They concentrated on the kids, who immediately passed out. John yelled, "That's it! Clear the humans!"

The Jolteon took on this last task, because they were the only ones who didn't have anything to do. They crowded around the two boys as the Leafeon made the thicket shrink down into nothing but a couple tiny sprouts. The Jolteon got behind the boys and pushed their muzzles underneath them. They lifted them up onto their backs and carried them off out of the forest. Since they were one of the fastest Eeveelutions, they ran back to the field quickly.

"John, that's the third incident this week. They're coming quicker. What're we supposed to do?" asked Rai.

Zoey was getting the feeling that John was a superior to the rest of the Eeveelutions in some way. John responded, "I don't know. We're just going to have to keep on using our formations until we can figure out what's going on."

"Hey John?" asked Zoey.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Are you a superior to the rest of the Eeveelutions in any way?"

John looked dumbstruck, "Of course I'm not! I was just the lookout for the day! Every day they pick an Eeveelution to check for humans around the area. And if there is an incident, the lookout gets to state the formations to everyone."

Seems complicated.

Zoey realized that she should get home to her family. She said, "Hey John, I think I need to go."

"Alright. But before you go, I was just wondering, are you interested in the Eevee games?"

"Of course!" she yelled, "I think that it's awesome!"

John seemed hopeful for just a split second, "Would you like to be my partner?"

"Sure!" yelled Zoey, "... Wait, WHAT?"

Did he just ask to... marry me?

John realized what Zoey thought, so he spoke up, "Oh! I meant for the Eevee games!"

"Ahh. Sure!" yelled Zoey, "When do you think that we should start practicing?"

Zoey realized what she just said. Nuts! I need to remember that I am a human being! I'm not a Pokemon!

John said something that relieved her, "What do you think about on Saturdays for a while, and on Wednesdays for around an hour?"

"On the Wednesdays, can it be after 3:30?"

"Fine with me!"

"And it's fine with me! Yeah. I gotta go for the rest of the day! I'll see ya!"

Zoey started to run off. John yelled, "I'll see you too!"

When Zoey was out of sight, Rai said, "OOOHHH! You're in love! Aren't you?"

At this, Shayla began to laugh with no noise again. If John didn't have fur covering his face, his friends would have seen him blush.

"W-w-what are you saying? I-I'm not in l-love!" yelled John.

Shayla thought, Of course you are! There's no doubt!

John knew that his friends were just teasing, but he didn't like this. He was serious about liking Zoey, but he didn't want anyone to know it yet. So he ran. Back towards the spring...

Zoey had already finished transforming, and she finished with all of the questions from her family, like, "Where were you?" and, "Why didn't you tell us!"

The answer to these questions were, in order, "I was with Katie. I didn't see the time, so I ended up just staying there for a while."

And, "I left you a note!"

Zoey realized that this was a very bad answer indeed. So, when her parents forgot to ask her where she left the note, and went looking for it, she grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil and got to work.

Dear mom and dad,

I'm going over to Katie's house for a bit. I'll be home at around three! I love ya!

Love, Zoey Valentine.

She placed the note on the dining room table, and she ran towards her parents.

"Mom, dad, the note's on the dining room table." Her parents immediately ran towards the dining room table and read the note. They thought that it was there the entire time, so Zoey was off the hook.

Zoey ran back up to her room, and opened up her journal. No one knew that she kept a Journal, because her brother would make fun of her, saying, "Diary's are so girlie!"

She got to work on her next entry, saying:

April 6 2011

This is my most risky entry that I have ever placed into my journal. One week ago, I was blessed by a shiny Mew. I now am able to transform into any Pokemon that I want to. I know that it sounds crazy, but it is true! But, this is not the most risky part, in my own opinion.

I think that I am falling in love with an Umbreon named John. I don't understand why, but I feel almost as if, him and I were meant to be together. I notice different things about John's personality that I never would have thought possible in a Pokemon.

Oh yeah! I also don't transform into a normal Pokemon. I always come out partly shiny! For all of the Eeveelutions, I end up with silver paws and the tip of my tail is also silver. I also learned about something called, the Eevee games. They're just like Pokemon contests, but only for the Eeveelutions. I think that Pokemon have a grudge against humans. I desperately want to tell John that I am really a human, but I'm scared to get rejected.

John asked for me to be his partner in the Eevee games! I was an Espeon at the time, so now I have to be one when I'm around him. I think that Espeon is my favorite Eeveelution of all time, simply for the fact that John knows about me.

But, I can't help remembering that I am a human. And this means that I can't be with John. But then, I think that I am meant to be with him, and I forget about being a human for a little bit. I'm scared. Maybe I just shouldn't practice with John at the Eevee games. But I want to be with him forever and ever... Dang it! I wish that fate would just leave me alone!

Zoey Valentine.

Zoey was satisfied with her entry, so she closed her journal.

I want to be with him... And that's the truth.

Author's note: That's the end of this chapter! I am really sorry that I didn't get it in sooner.

Zoey: Yeah. Because you're lazy.

Starsea: I am not! I've just been really busy! And that is the absolute truth.

Zoey: Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy-

I put the rag back in her mouth.

Starsea: Would you like me to make Zoey serious in the author's note section? Speaking of questions, I asked this one in my first story, but here it is again.

Do you ever find yourself writing slowly when you want your character to speak slowly?

If you want, you can answer this question in a review. I'll try and have the next chapter up by Wednesday. Bye! Oh, by the way, this is my longest chapter yet!

Zoey: (Muffled yelling)
