"NOW!" a male voice shouted.
Suddenly a jolteon, a glaceon, two shiny eevees, a flareon, a leafeon and a normal eevee rushed the area.
The leafeon used leaf blade on the frozen cuffs and they broke.
"Come on let's go!" the jolteon shouted and started running into the forest with his group following.
"Let's go then! Just leave everyone else." Crystal said and followed the jolteon.
"We don't have a choice Melody. Let's go." Ryan said running.
"I never have a choice." Melody mumbled before following Ryan.
They stopped in a big field, all of them breathing heavily.
Melody's P.O.V
I looked around at the pokémon who helped save me. I stopped on the eevees and realised that it was Shine's family, Glacia and Ginger.
"There you are." a female voice said.
Everyone looked towards the forest seeing a sylveon carrying an eevee on her back.
"It's you." I said as they stopped in front of us.
"Oh, yeah." Ryan said.
"They chased me out of town for voting innocent on you, Melody." the sylveon said.
"I'm sorry, what's you name, anyway?" I asked.
"There's no need to apologise and my name's Sylvia." the sylveon, now known as Sylvia, said.
No one's P.O.V
"Everyone, follow me." Crystal said and started walking.
Everyone followed crystal through the field.
They stopped as a small patch of grass started rising. When it had risen fully it revealed some stairs leading down. Crystal started walking down the stairs and everyone followed.
"Where are we? Shine asked as everyone reached the bottom.
"This is my secret base." Crystal replied.
"Never thought you would have a secret base." Star said.
"Me and my… best friend always hung out here away from everyone when we had the chance. When I could escape and when she could have someone to babysit for her. That was until she… kicked the bucket." Crystal said.
"Who was your best friend?" Ginger asked.
Crystal bit her lip.
"Don't tell me." Shine muttered.
"Her name was… Na-" Crystal said but stopped herself before she said something she might regret.
"Who?" Ginger asked.
Crystal cleared her throat, "Shine, do you remember what I told you before? About her." Crystal said.
"Yes." Shine replied.
"That was my best friend." Crystal said.
