OoO( 5 )OoO

Felix had walked further up road after leaving the boy to go about his way. Stopping in a clearing, he pulled out the pokeball and tossed it on the ground. The capsule opened and let out the eevee. As soon as the fox came out of the pokeball, it looked around, then saw Felix. Clawing at the ground, it began to growl again.

Felix glared at the pokemon and stepped forward. "You and me are gonna settle this now." said the boy. Eevee ran forward and used its headbutt attack in an attempt to smash the trainer. Felix yelled and ran forward, throwing his head forward also, making the two collide. Eevee flopped across the ground as Felix fell backwards. Both rose from the ground, eevee dazed and her vision fuzzy. Felix rubbed his head painfully as he got to his knees.

Seeing him, the pokemon ran forward and jumped on his back, then clamped onto his ear with its sharp teeth. Felix yelled loudly and grabbed the fox by its tail, pulling on it hard, causing the pokemon to shriek loudly. Grabbing the animal by the scruff of its neck, he pulled it off his ear then gave it another hard headbutt.

Stars exploded in the small pokemon's eyes as the human skull impacted it. Her tiny body went limp as her senses left her. Felix sighed as he rubbed the knot on his head, then sat down on the ground. He set the eevee on the ground in front of him, then pulled his bag in front of him. Digging out a small apple, he laid it in front of the fox.

"Are you ready to give up the attitude?" asked the trainer. The eevee growled at him, not even moving. Taking the apple, the boy cut a slice off of the fruit and held it up. Looking at the food, the fox sniffed it for a moment, before clamping onto it. After pulling the fruit out of his grasp, the small creature munched on the fruit. The trainer watched Eevee as it finished the slice.

Eevee got up and growled at the trainer again. "What? You think you are getting more with that attitude?" asked the boy. The pokemon ran forward and slammed into the trainers stomach, causing him to fly back with the wind knocked out of him. After regaining his wind, Felix growled and got to his knees. "Alright, that's it." he said, taking up a fighting stance. The fox ran forward again to try another headbutt, but was cut short.

The trainer grabbed the pokemon and caught her in mid-air, then swung her around and hurled her into a nearby tree. The pokemon's eyes widened, then closed as she impacted the tree. Falling to the ground, Eevee got to her paws and stumbled around, looking for the attacker. Clearing her vision, she glared at the trainer. Felix smiled as he placed his hand on the pokeball behind his back. "You lost fuzzball." he said, infuriating the fox. It picked up speed and hurtled towards the trainer, but was caught by a beam of red light. It fought wildly to get away, but failed as it was pulled into the small capsule.

Felix smiled as the ball shrunk. "Time for you to cool down." he said. Putting the ball on his belt, he walked down the road and continued towards his destination.

OoOoO

The sun began to sink behind the treeline as the boy looked at his device again. The red line was gone now, telling him that he was at his destination. Looking up, he noticed the house surrounded by trees. It was a relatively small house, he noticed. Suddenly he stopped, looking back at the pocket of his bag. "I wonder if they will be mad that I used the pokedex when Professor Elm told me not to..." he mumbled to himself. "Well, no point in worrying about it. Just gotta find out."

He walked up to the door and knocked on it nervously. He heard footsteps from behind the door, then it swung open with a giant shadow in its wake. He looked up at the shadowy figure and took a step back. The figure stepped forward also, lightening the shadow and showing the figure of a man. "Can I help you young man?"

"Uhhh...I'm...looking for Mr. Pokemon..." said the trainer, still a bit nervous.

The man bent down and looked at him closely, then smiled widely. "Well why didn't you say so? Come on in!" he said and grabbed the boy by the arm, leading him into the house. "You're that boy Elm sent over aren't you?" he asked excitedly in a gruff voice. Felix looked around inside the house and was in awe at what he saw. There were large window sized screens across the wall in the room. On the center screen, there was a large pokemon that Felix knew was a Dragonite.

On the left screen was all the data compiled on a dragonite, and on the right screen was its status and conditions. He walked up to the screens and stared amazed. "This is amazing." he said in awe.

"Aye, that it is. It was made by the Professor Oak himself." he said in an odd accent.

"Professor Oak? Wow." said Felix as he stared more. He looked down and noticed a strange ball sitting upon a small pedestal in the machine. "What is that?"

"Ah, that's the pokemon ya see on the screen right now. One of my favorites he is." he said. "Here, you try it." he said, taking the black and yellow pokeball off of the pedestal. Instantly, all the data on the screen as well as the picture and status disappeared. Felix took out his pokeball and set it inside the small chamber. Immediately the screens lit up again. The center flashed with Eevee, and the other two lit up with different status information and even pokedex data.

Mr. Pokemon looked at the screens and frowned. "Oya...this li'l buggers been through hard times fer sure." he said.

"How can you tell?" asked the boy.

"Look over here under the history. Every time someone catches a pokemon, the data is sent from a pokeball into the main database. From that point on it's recorded whenever a pokemon is traded, lost, or stolen. It's an easy way for us to discover new pokemon really. When someone catches it the data is sent immediately by the scanners inside the ball." he said.

"I see, so who was this eevee's last owner?" asked Felix curiously.

"Look here, it's a man named Seth. I used to work with the police force and I know this man, he is a very high ranking member of Team Rocket. Which explains..." said the man as he went over to the other screen and stared. "...why she is so violent." he said.

Felix scratched his chin and looked at the floor. "I see, so attacking it isn't going to help either..." he said to himself.

"Pardon?" asked the older man. Felix shook his head. "Well, all I know is that this pokemon is a very troubled case. And in order for you to get her to cooperate, it's gonna take a great act of compassion to let it know that it can trust you." he said in his thick accent. "Anyway, I wish you luck with that. But at the moment, I believe you have something for me?"

Felix looked at him, then nodded. He reached into his pack and nervously grabbed the PokeDex. Handing it to the man, he looked at the floor. The man opened the PokeDex and turned it on, then read the data that scrolled across the small screen. Smiling, he walked over to his computer and plugged the small maching into the larger one. The data showed up on the right screen.

The man looked at the boy, who looked at the ground with a guilty look. "If I recall, Professor Elm told you not to turn it on." he said with a smirk.

"He did. He told me it wouldn't turn on because of the battery but..."

"But you couldn't help but try it. Right?" asked the man. Felix nodded. Looking at the screen, the man touched the portion that said [Pokemon Caught] bringing up the list of Eevee and Growlithe. "Where is your Growlithe at?" he asked.

"He was injured protecting me on my way to Cherrygrove. So I left him with the breeders there so he can heal. That's why I have eevee now."

"Why eevee?" asked the man, feeling he already knew the answer.

"I figured that nobody else would want her. I think every pokemon deserves a chance to be loved, even if it is a little tyrant." He said looking up at the eevee on the screen with a glare. The man laughed to himself.

"Well, it's late now. Go in the back room and get some rest. In the morning you can head back to New Bark." he said. Felix nodded, then grabbed the pokeball with eevee and walked into the back. The man smiled and spoke to himself. "Aye...he passed the test, that he did Oak." he said, then walked up to the computer and shut it off.

OoOoO

She didn't know where she was. She seemed to be suspended in darkness, and couldn't move anything. The last time she felt like this was back when she was still living with them, and it wasn't a memory she felt too pleasant towards.

After she was born, she was put into a home with a pokemon that looked like a black hound. She was a curious one when she was younger and looked around the house. However, she didn't realize the territorial aggressiveness of the pokemon she now shared a house with. The Houndour attacked her relentlessly and nearly caused serious damage to her.

She was taken to a building with white lights, then all she can remember is waking up back in the house again. Getting out of her bed, she stood and walked a little shakily out of the room. Noticing the black dog sleeping in the room, she instantly recoiled back into the room and peeked out. Looking around for someone, anyone to protect her, she found nobody. So she sat and waited.

It was almost a full day, the sun had set long ago and still nobody entered the house. She was very hungry and looked around for food. The only thing she could see was the dogs bowl on the ground, then something else on the table. She sat miserably, listening to her stomach rumble loudly. She knew she would have to take a chance in order to eat. Taking the more difficult, but safer of the two, she decided to climb up on the table. Creeping across the smooth floor, she got to the chair and easily enough, climbed up to the table to see the plate.

It was an array of fruit, something that almost made her drool with anticipation. Pulling one of the berry slices off the plate, she began to chow on it, forgetting about the dog across the room. He laid there and slept soundly until the sound of the clinking plate awoke him. His eye popped open and he looked slowly at the figure at the table. Almost smirking to himself, he got to his paws and silently approached the table. He growled for a moment, then barked loudly, sending the hungry one flying away from the table in terror. He chased her across the room and smashed into her with a quick headbutt.

She hit the wall and immediately stars filled her eyes as she rolled across the ground. Her body was limp as she lay there, a tear rolling from her eye as it closed.

Hours later, she awoke and someone was holding her. However it wasn't comfortable, as they were holding her like she was some stuffed toy. Opening her eyes, she noticed she was outside with the sunlight shining on her, making her head throb more. Attempting to get out of the hold she was in, she struggled weakly, however a slap to her face seemed to paralyze her and keep her from moving anymore.

She sighed to herself, then her eyes went wide as there was a loud sound in front of them. A building in front of them detonated and the door flew off, nearly taking them out. A man walked out the door followed by three others, but anyone could tell from the look of this man that he was the leader. He stood tall with long dark hair down to his back and cold green piercing eyes. His uniform was all black with a silver belt. Both in the center of the belt and over his left breast was a letter R, and on his left arm was a mechanical device that the world had not yet witnessed.

She looked on in horror as the man looked at her and smiled. She watched as he approached and pointed at her. The words that came from his mouth shocked even her. "Give it to me now." he said. The boy that was carrying her jerked her away and yelled at the man.

"No way! You'll have to fight me first!" shouted the young man. The man smirked and pulled out a pokeball, then threw it on the ground. She couldn't properly see what it was, however when the boy threw her onto the ground in front of him, she immediately shrunk as the black dog towered over her. It wasn't the same one. This one was much larger and had massive horns growing out of its canine head. She cowered as she heard the words, "Blackfire, use fire spin." come from the man's mouth.

Immediately, she was surrounded and burned until she couldn't feel anything anymore. All she heard was a loud howl before her mind slipped off into the abyss...
