Authoress: Hey everyone! Back for another chapter, as yall can see. XD Anyway, I've put some length on this one, since I made the last two chapters so short. And, yay, some action in this chapter! ;) Action scenes are so fun to write…Oh yea, and I deleted that little A/N that I entered as a chapter. A reviewer brought to my attention that those aren't allowed, and I think a few of you did when I first posted it. I really don't want my fic deleted, so I took it down. So yea, this is an update. Lol. Let's go on to reviewers responses, ok? Ok.

…

Paladin Dragoon: Yep, maybe next time. Firewind isn't a bad pokemon at all, so I couldn't put her in there as part of the CPA! That'd be bad. Lol. Yep, Jolteon and his big mouth, gets him and Umbreon in trouble all the time. Heh. And that's funny about Razor trying to bowl. If he swears about picking it up, imagine if he dropped it on his toe! Hehe, I don't even want to think about what he would do then…he'd probably up and kill someone. Anyway, hope you like this chapter too, thanks always for your reviews!

Ninetalesuk: Dive-Bomb definitely made Vaporeon mad, that's for sure. It's a shame that she and Umbreon didn't realize that Devos was after him and not them…they unintentionally saved his life by creating that diversion! Lol. Oh, so Labramon's a Digimon? Heh, sorry about that, but I've never watched the show. Actually, there is a way to fight with cuteness…ever seen Shrek 2? Member Puss in Boots and his adorable little face? Then he took out his sword and got the bad guys. XD Lol! Hope ya like.

Spikestrife: Absol's one of my favorite too, I like the way they look. ;) One of my favorites from Ruby/Sapphire actually. You've got Colosseum? I've finished the whole thing already, even purified all 48 of the shadow pokemon and have gotten Ho-oh. Lol, as you can probably tell, I have some free time on my hands during the summer. ;) Anyway, last chapter was a little short, but not this one. XD I'm making up for it. Lol. I think I'll put your pokemon in, but it won't have a major part or anything like that. I'm going to use her for one of the bad guys chasing Vaporeon and Umbreon if that's ok. Thanks for reviewing, hope you like this chapter. ;)

Gabe B.: Hehe, yea, Dive-Bomb's definitely in a little situation. Fortunately for him, Vaporeon and Umbreon unintentionally caused a diversion when they attacked Devos. It's not like he can do anything now with that leg that Umbreon bit into…Lol. Yea, I had this idea for Reika being forced into the CPA a while ago, and I'm just now introducing it. Maybe people will feel a little different about her. But I'm not telling you why just yet. ;) Actually, from the way you explained it at least, stick shifts don't seem all that complicated. I guess you just have to know when to switch gears, lol. I just got my permit a few days ago, so I'm still pretty excited about that. XD Anyway, enough of my rambling, hope you like this chapter.

Ryu-ketto: Your welcome for posting your character, I actually like him. XD I also gave him a bit of a New Yorker accent…don't ask me why though lol, I for some reason I just thought it fit him. Don't worry, he'll be in this chapter too, he's not going anywhere yet! Thanks much for reviewing, and hope you like this chapter too. It's got some action in it. ;)

cRaZyNuTcAsE: Next chapter is finished, as you can probably tell lol, so I hope you like it. ;) Thanks for liking my story so much, it really means a lot to me that so many people enjoy my writing. And yea, everyone loves the game. XD Don't worry though, there will be more of them to come before the end, so when I put another one submit a pokemon, ok? Ok. Lol.

IrethTasartir: Yea, I finally got some action in there story after the saga with Mightyena…Lol. This chapter has another battle scene, and I'm pretty sure that it's longer than last chapters. Interesting idea with Jennifer getting up the courage to escape by herself, though there is one problem – before Reika left to look for Dive-Bomb she left a Raichu in charge of keeping watch on her…but just see what happens. I like Lugia too, one of my favorites of the legendary pokemon. Suicune is really cool too. Thanks for the review, and don't worry, I'll read some of your stories. ;)

Zyte: munching on cookies) You know, cyber cookies are the best. Why? Cause you can eat as many as you want and you won't get fat. Haha, sorry that was corny. Anyway, your welcome for letting you submit a pokemon, I don't mind at all. A Pidgeot actually make a good strong bad guy (or girl lol) if you think about it. Lol, has a particular dislike of Razor…I think all of them do, since he's psycho. Thanks for the info on her, and I'll be putting her in this chapter. Hope ya like!

DemonicK: Ack, finally, you can stop poking me!! XD Lol. Anyway, yea I do get a lot of reviews. To be honest I actually didn't expect this many because I expected most people to want to read stories about the characters of the show, like readers in the YuGiOh section do. And I also really enjoyed your fic, you're a good writer with good description and a big imagination. ;) Hope you like this chapter.

Melchior the Mewthree: I guess I did do that, didn't I? You're right, I should've put the Vaporeon's speech right after Dive-Bomb's, it does make more sense that way. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm glad I have reviewers who will point out my mistakes. ;) Glad you liked last chapter, I think the action, even if it was just a little bit, made it a whole lot more enjoyable. Anyway, hope this one's a good one too. XD

Everett Mills: Hello again! I hope your wheelchair didn't break again, I imagine those aren't exactly cheap to repair. Glad you liked the battle last chapter, I thought everyone would. And there's another one this chapter, so yay! XD Lol. Yes, Razor is a psychotic maniac who needs to be put in a mental asylum…but he makes the story more interesting, does he not? Heh. And Reika, well, we'll just have to find out about her. Hope you like this chapter – it shows what happens to Dive-Bomb. ;)

Kioko-san: Thanks for the compliments! XD Those are always fun to get, lol. Glad you like my story so much, makes me feel special. XD Lol, Umbreon is everyone's favorite because of his smart mouth and attitude. I had no idea he was going to be so popular when I made him. And Jenn…she was off to a rocky start at first, but now she's cool. ;) Hope you like this chapter!

Mephis: Yea I know, bad me for making last chapter still too short. (smacks self) But I've made this chapter a lot longer than the last two, to make it up to yall. XD I know, I'm such a nice person. Lol, sometimes I have no idea what to say to an author either after reading their story, so I just ramble on about something that doesn't even matter…kind of like I'm doing right now. Haha. Hope you like this chapter. Realisticity…you know, I don't think that's even a word, I thinks it realism…making up words is fun though. XD

None: I know you reviewed Chapter 1, but I decided to put you in here anyway. ;) Yea, Jennifer was turned into an Eevee. Imagine how she reacted to that? Lol. Thanks for reviewing!

Bobfredda: Wow, you've reviewed half my chapters! Lol, hope you get around to finishing them sometime. By the way, your story is pretty cool, I liked it. ;) Anyway, thanks so much for all the reviews, I'm glad you like the story so much to leave so many. I always think it's cool when someone reviews a lot. Lol, I know, I'm a dork. XD Hehe. Thanks again!

ElementalZoidFighter: Ugh, I hate moving, it really sucks, 'specially packing and unpacking boxes. I've done it a total of eight times, and believe me, it isn't fun. Lol, at least DZF thinks its funny. XD Is Rath your newest muse? He seems to be more on the sane side than the other two, if I may so myself. But he might not last much longer with Karel and DZF. Heh, anyway, hope you like this chapter too. Thanks for the review, it was funny. ;)

Elizabeth Aiken Joey Wheeler: Cool pen name! ;) Lol. Clay Aiken is adorable, you've gotta admit. And Joey of course is kawaii. XD Even if he is a bit on the slow side at times. Hehe. Well thanks for reviewing, I really appreciate it. I'd love to email you, but the fact is I'm not really allowed. My mom controls my internet basically – I'm not allowed to talk to or email anyone on the site because someone might be a psycho-killer person or whatever. So yea. I really like your pen name though – wait, didn't I just say that? (read back) Yup. -- Glad you like the story, hope you like this chapter.

Vulpix4Life: Thanks for the congrats, I'm really happy about it. XD A little nervous about driving, but I'll get over it. Heh. No problem for answering your chapter, I happen to like the story. The Sorry Cookie was really good. XD Lol! I don't know about any Vaporeon/Umbreon, probably not. I just think of Umbreon making up for the stunt he pulled when he caused her to run off like that, haha. Hope you like this chapter, and as always, thanks for reviewing. Yep yep. XD

LazerWulf: Lol, I know what you mean about laziness…I'm the queen of it when it comes to doing my chores. Lol, but you don't have to worry about stuff like that anymore since you're 19. (yes, I read your profile…I actually enjoy reading them. Ok fine, I get bored) XD Anyway, I know I've thanked you before, but I'm thanking you again for all the reviews. Oh, and thanks for pointing out the A/N, I had forgotten about it. So I took it down, as I told everyone up top. Glad you like the story so much, I think this is my favorite one that I'm writing right now. Oh, and PAP stands for (goes to check) Protection Agency of Pokemon. Lol, even I had to check…hope you enjoy this chapter.

Subieko: Thanks for the review, before I start. Yep, Reika was basically forced to join the CPA, but when or how I'm not gonna tell you yet. (dangles answers over Subieko's head) XD Lol, I know, I'm evil. Mwhaha. You'll see what happens to Dive-Bomb this chapter though, so I'll give you that one. ;) Glad you liked the battle last chapter, those are always fun to write. And there's another one this chapter, so yay! XD Enjoy pwease!

…

Authoress: Alright then, that's done! Yall better feel special, but it takes quite a bit of time to write all those responses. Lol. Well, here's the next chapter, Chapter 14. Please enjoy! Here goes…

Reika had begun her search for the Taillow immediately after leaving headquarters, feeling confident that Devos would honor their agreement. Finding it difficult to track anything in the rain but not wanting to quit, the Jolteon scoured the area for a high place she could look for Dive-Bomb in. Just as she had found roof that she could get to from the top of a dumpster, the rain abruptly stopped.

Feeling cursed and lucky for not being seen by a human at the same time, Reika took the nearest cover she could find – an open sewer. It was large enough inside for her to stand comfortably, and she trotted as far in as she dared to go so a passerby couldn't peek in and see her.

The female Jolteon knew that sewers weren't the friendliest of places, but she had no choice but to hide. She'd heard stories from pokémon back at headquarters about humans sending all sorts of things down here – unwanted items, trash, dead fish. Someone once told her that they send living things to live down too, where they mutate and grow horribly disfigured.

Reika continued on through the shallow water slowly, avoiding direct eye contact with any black hole in the sewer pipes she happened to catch in her peripheral vision. Eventually she put her head down so the only thing that she would have to see was the dark murky water she was splashing through. So focused was she on all the stories of mutant Quagsires and Poliwhirls that were flooding her mind, Reika failed to notice a figure barreling in her direction. And before she knew it – Crash.

Jennifer's POV

I had heard all the commotion outside and in, wondering what in Cyprus could've caused such an uproar. My sent guard, the Raichu, was going to go at first but quickly changed his mind, muttering to himself, "She'll be furious if I leave, I can't go…" I guessed he was referring to Reika – she must've been a real tyrant.

Quickly pushing a chair up to the window, I jumped onto it and crawled up onto the window sill from there.

"Hey!" the Raichu's voice startled me. "Wh-what are you doing…up there?"

An excellent guard, this one, I thought sardonically.

"Relax, the window's closed." He gave me an incredulous look. "Hey, does it look like I can open it?"

"Uh, no…" he responded uneasily to my attitude. "Carry on then…"

Finally, I focused my attention on the fuss outside, and my heart jumped a bit. I hardly noticed the rain had stopped pouring like no tomorrow. I had turned around just in time to see a flash of Vaporeon and Umbreon running the opposite way – they knew where I was! And they're going to inform the others, I thought confidently. Steph and I will be outta here in no t-" I cut my own thoughts off when I realized the riot was because of my two companions. A pack of all types of angry pokémon was chasing Vaporeon and Umbreon – and one of them was bound to be just a little bit faster than they could run.

I threw myself against the window hard, furious that my friends were out there in serious trouble and that I couldn't do anything to help them. They had all rescued me numerous times from certain situations, and to top it off brought me and my sister back together again. I owed it to them. But I was helpless.

I suddenly noticed Dive-Bomb below me, hovering in one spot a few feet above the ground. Why I hadn't noticed him before I'm not sure – maybe it was because he was hardly moving except for the flapping of his wings to keep him afloat. Why is he all alone? Didn't he go to get someone to help me? Then the realization hit me. He did. He brought Vaporeon and Umbreon…did he set them up?

But I banished the thought from my mind as quickly as it had come. No, of course not. There was genuineness in his voice when he told me he was going to get me out of here, and I believe him. I knew I needed to get Dive-Bomb's attention somehow. So I started banging on the window.

"You, you there!" I yelled out, not using the Taillow's name since my guardian Raichu was present. "Hey, look up here!"

My pounding on the glass and shouting was a success. I managed to get Dive-Bomb's attention before the Raichu again asked me what I was doing, and to please stop. When the bird pokémon turned to look at me though, I didn't expect at all the look in his eyes. Before he left they had a certain quality to them, a certain sharpness. That was now replaced with eyes that expressed nothing but pain, sorrow, and remorse. I hurriedly beckoned him to come in, and he half-heartedly complied when he flew into one of the many other open windows.

Eventually I heard the Taillow's voice at the door, and I jumped off the chair. "Hey Mac, how've things been going for you?" he casually started conversation with the "guard".

"Afternoon…" Mac said gloomily in reply. "Not so good. My first day and this Jolteon, Reika, makes me feel like her servant."

"She made you watch the kid?"

"Yea."

"How about I give you a break? I'll take over the watch, since I'm sure you have better things you could be doing right now than sitting around here," Dive-Bomb offered.

"Yea, I do," the Raichu said thoughtfully. "But Reika would kill me…"

"Don't worry about it Mac, just tell her that Dive-Bomb sent you off and you won't be in any trouble."

"Thanks man, you're a real pal," Mac thanked him as he scampered off.

I heard Dive-Bomb nervously laugh before answering. "Yea, I'm great…" he trailed off. As soon as the Raichu was gone and out of sight he flew into the room and immediately began talking.

"I'm sorry for what happened out there, I had brought Vaporeon over to come get you and then Devos shows up for a reason I have yet to figure out and then I guess the Umbreon was following us and he attacked, it just turned into a whole big mess and -"

"It's ok!" I finally spoke loud enough so Dive-Bomb would shut up. Not that I got much of what he was saying anyway. "I believe that you didn't set them up."

He looked surprised. "Really?"

"Really." I smiled reassuringly at him. My attention turned towards the open door. "Are we gonna get out of here or what?" I started for the door, but Dive-Bomb blocked my way.

"Cool your jets, you just don't go parading around out there without checking," the Taillow scolded. "There are probably still a few pokémon left inside."

I nodded, agreeing with him. "Sorry."

"I'll go out and check. I'll come back and tell you whether or not it's safe to go out just yet."

Dive-Bomb left, and I went back to sit on the window sill just in case Vaporeon or Umbreon managed to come back. Now finally was my chance to really help them.

General POV

Dive-Bomb soared through the building, checking all the hallways for anyone else that might've been still lurking about the place. A few Mr. Mime were running about, but they weren't any threat to Jennifer since they didn't take much interest in other pokémon's issues. A Haunter and a Gengar were playing cards in the staff room, laughing merrily and having a good time. The last pokemon he encountered, however, made the Gengar look like a Bellossom.

Dive-Bomb nearly flew right into Razor himself, who was walking the halls with a smirk on his face. He seemed in a fairly good mood. "You know," he said. "I wonder how those two rats managed to find our place. Not that it matters anyway – neither are going to live to tell about it!" He laughed heartily at the thought, making Dive-Bomb sick. As the Scyther walked away, he called over his shoulder, "Oh, and Dive-Bomb, Reika went out looking for you. Seems she has some business to attend to with you." There was a horrifying glint in his eye before he turned and kept walking.

I guess I'm in for a lot more with Reika than I thought, the bird thought shakily as he watched Razor move into the headquarters' cafeteria. Brushing off the bad thought, Dive-Bomb hurriedly flew back to Jenn's room. Now's my chance.

"There's nowhere to hide!" Vaporeon was panicking, looking wildly around her while still running as fast as she could. "And they're gaining on us!"

"We have to make for the main city," Umbreon breathed. "They won't follow us into a human-populated area. It's risky, but it's riskier trying to fight off two dozen angry pokémon. Shouldn't be far."

Maybe it wasn't all that far, but it seemed like a hundred miles to Vaporeon. The adrenaline rush caused by her anger at Dive-Bomb had since worn off, replaced now by pure panic. She guessed that every element of pokémon was trailing her and Umbreon.

"Almost there," he strained to say, pushing himself to run faster. But it was inevitable that the two were going to slow down sooner or later – they're energy was giving away fast.

"Going somewhere, are we?" a female voice taunted. The two foxes both had to skid to a stop when a large Pidgeot landed right in their path, stopping them momentarily.

But that was enough time for the rest of the mob to catch up to them. Vaporeon and Umbreon knew what they had to do. The fear and panic vanished from the pairs' eyes. This battle certainly wasn't going to be pretty.

Vaporeon quickly jumped out of the way as a Heracross almost Body Slammed her. As the pokémon tried to stop himself, she fired an Ice Beam at the vulnerable bug, freezing him on the spot.

Umbreon had bigger problems – the furious Absol from before had decided to get his revenge on the Dark type and jumped on his back with his sharp claws, this time not missing. The pain seared into Umbreon's back, but he wasn't about to show any signs of weakness but yelling out.

Still on Umbreon's back, Devos raised a paw to Slash the unfortunate fox pokémon across the back. Thinking fast, Umbreon used a Faint Attack not a second before Devos swiped his massive claw. With a cry of surprise he fell to the ground, Umbreon appearing safely beside him. He pounced on his back and Crunched into the Absol's spine. Devos cried out as the Umbreon's razor-sharp teeth sunk further and further, trying desperately to get him off.

Vaporeon had found a slight refuge behind the crystallized Heracross, using it as protection from airborne attacks such as Pin Missile and Spike Cannon. The Water pokémon created a Mist around herself to make her less visible to the enemy.

"Brushel, get the Umbreon while he's busy!" the female voice belonging to the Pidgeot ordered from above. The powerful bird pokémon was hovering over the battle, shouting out instructions every which way.

A Furret sped towards Umbreon with lightning fast speed, coming in for a good Tackle. "Umbreon, watch out!" Vaporeon shouted between using Hydro Pumps to send the smaller pokémon flying through the air.

The black fox hardly had time to hear her before Brushel had collided into him, throwing him off the injured Devos and onto the concrete a couple feet away.

"You, the Golbat!" the Pidgeot ordered again. "Use a Confuse Ray!"

The bat pokémon did as he was told, sending rippling waves of energy towards Umbreon before he could get to his feet. And the confusion hit him hard. Staggering this way and that, Umbreon couldn't focus on one thing to save his life – literally. "Dammit!" he cursed, his head spinning rapidly. Brushel was preparing for another Quick Attack, speeding towards the helpless Umbreon.

She yelped as she was unexpected blown backwards by a strong jet of fluid water. "I don't think so," Vaporeon spat at the Furret. She had jumped from her protection of the frozen bug and into the Furret's way, aiming a Hydro Pump at oncoming furball.

Umbreon, dazed and confused, barely saw Vaporeon jump in front of him and block the attack. "Thanks…" he said woozily.

"No problem. You owe me." Vaporeon shot an Ice Beam at the hovering Golbat, who promptly fell to the ground with a crash when he found his wings were frozen stiff. The Water pokémon smirked.

To Vaporeon's horror, a Manectric suddenly made himself known by releasing a Thunderbolt in her direction. Leaping out of the way she only caught a bit of it, but that was enough to make her entire body sting with pain as the electricity ran through her.

The Electric pokémon unleashed a second Thunderbolt, this one much larger. Vaporeon knew she wasn't going to be able to get out the way, and that it was going to hit her full blast. She braced herself for the pain that was going to come, determined not to fall.

A black cloud suddenly enveloped her, absorbing the lightning attack within it and sparing Vaporeon. It was then fired at the Manectric full speed, and a recovered Umbreon watched as his Shadow Ball hit his target dead on, knocking him out cold. Umbreon smiled at Vaporeon, giving her a smirk that said, "I don't owe you anymore." They both leapt back into the battle, feeling positive about the outcome.

To the enemy pokémon's utter amazement, the two trespassers were actually winning the battle so far. "They're too strong! Do something Nimbus!" a few of the distressed pokémon shouted up to the hovering Pidgeot as they dodged Vaporeon's jets of water and Umbreon's Shadow Balls.

"Don't mind if I do," she answered their pleas, and her left wing began to glaze over with a glint of metal, unnoticed to the two battling the onslaughts on the ground. And she dove towards them, fast.

Before Umbreon knew it, there was the deafening sound of a collision as Vaporeon was knocked hard off her feet. She was now laying on the ground beside him, her front leg bent in an odd way. "Vaporeon!" he yelled out. He turned a harshly cold glare on Nimbus, who was already back in the air, and shot a series of Shadow Balls in her direction. A few hit her but she only fluttered for a few seconds before gaining control again.

Standing over Vaporeon, Umbreon knew he was in trouble – it was a good ten to one with Vaporeon down and out, and he knew no special moves to bring the Pidgeot down quickly. For the first time since the battle began he began to panic. Vaporeon and I are going to be killed by these pokémon! And no one will ever know what happened to us.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Nimbus powering up for a second Steel Wing, the devastating attack that had Vaporeon on the ground with a broken leg. Despite that, Umbreon didn't move from his position protecting the fallen Water pokémon – she wouldn't be able to take another hit like that, and he'd never be able to live with himself if he moved and she took another Steel Wing attack.

The bird pokémon began the descent downwards, the glint of the metal on her wing matching the one in her eye. Umbreon stood strong, facing the oncoming attack bravely.

Next thing he knew, he was protecting his ears from a deafening Screech. Caught completely off-guard by the defense move, Nimbus slammed her iron wing into the cement a few feet away instead of into Umbreon, sending waves of pain through it.

Taking advantage of the situation, Umbreon released a Confuse Ray in Nimbus's direction, dazing the high-level pokémon. Then the realization of what just happened hit him.

Who emitted that Screech? I didn't do it, and certainly not Vaporeon… He turned around to see who he would find behind him.

Espeon had found refuge in a row of bushes when Vaporeon's Rain Dance had ended. Ever since then she had had a feeling of something terribly amiss, and Espeon knew by experience that her instincts were seldom misleading.

Vaporeon was the first of her friends to come to mind. I haven't seen her at all…I don't think she went this way. Matter of fact, I haven't seen Jolteon or Umbreon either. Hopefully they all made it safely out of sight.

Very soon the Psychic was bored and restless, watching nervously as humans passed her on a sidewalk from just a few yards away. I need to get out of here, she thought, her feeling that something awful happened getting stronger. Her infamous Teleport came to mind, and she considered the pros and cons.

If I stay where I am I can't do anything, and more than likely get seen by a human…but if I Teleport I might put myself into a lot of danger if I miss my target. Espeon furrowed her brow. I can't just sit here, I have to leave.

The lavender pokémon glanced at her surroundings for an idea of where she was. Fortunately enough for her, her sense of direction was more than exceptional. Still, she didn't know exactly where she was, meaning she didn't know exactly the direction of her destination. But she had to take a chance. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on where Ereyla, Skull, Flareon, and the Ratattas were hiding. I hope no one's seen them either, she hoped, the glitter of her Teleport beginning to surround her. Finally she was engulfed in it, and disappeared.

Umbreon nearly had a heart attack on the spot when he saw the pokémon that had saved his and Vaporeon's lives. Not quite a pokémon though. A little brown fox was standing some yards away from him – "Jennifer!" he shouted in surprise.

Quickly regaining himself, Umbreon turned on the downed Pidgeot and aimed and few strong Shadow Balls at her. Next a powerful Crunch attack demolished one of her wings, making it impossible for the bird to get up and fly.

At the fall of their commander, the remaining pokémon began to panic in one large uproar, some even running back the way they came. Devos had had enough and shot back towards the steel building, along with the Furret and the defrosted Heracross and several others. Jennifer began Tackling anything little that came her way while Umbreon was busy chasing away the remaining pokémon. Victory was near.

…

Vaporeon was still aware of what was going on around her, though the pain shooting through her leg every time she tried to move was almost unbearable. She wanted to jump up and run to Jennifer and thank her so much, but all she could do was lay there, immobile.

In her peripheral she caught a glimpse of Nimbus stirring, the confusion wearing off. Vaporeon turned her head to see fully what the bird was up to. She gasped in horror when she realized Nimbus was planning to attack Umbreon with a Hyper Beam. The blinding, glowing ball of energy forming just inside her beak gave her away.

Panicked, the Water type knew she had to so something to save Umbreon, and was too weak to yell out anything to him that he would hear. If he was down, then there would be no one left to protect Jennifer, and that she couldn't let that happen since the little one had just spared their lives.

Not finding enough energy to summon a super-effective Ice Beam, Vaporeon used the only attack she could muster – a simple Water Gun. Hoping against hope, she prayed that her feeble attack would be enough to distract the Pidgeot's concentration. Vaporeon didn't have time to figure out if it worked though. Her energy supply empty, she fainted and blacked out.

…

The Dark type could've sworn he heard the sound of rushing water. But that's impossible, Vaporeon fainted… He turned to check anyway, just in time to see Vaporeon go limp from her strained attack at the Flying type. His eyes went wide as saucers when he realized what Vaporeon had tried to stop. He gazed at the deadly attack forming in the Pidgeot's mouth, almost ready to be unleashed. Vaporeon's last effort had been in vain, and Umbreon was stunned.

…

Dive-Bomb had been there the whole time, unnoticed by the two Eeveelutions, helping Jennifer chase the bad guys away. With a start he turned towards Nimbus, in disbelief that both he and Vaporeon were to fall. What would he and Jennifer do then?

No, he thought certainly. No, he won't fall.

"Dive-Bomb!" Jennifer's voice rang out in his ears. "They're in trouble! Do something, please!"

She was right, he then realized. Umbreon would not survive a Hyper Beam in his condition, and certainly not Vaporeon. But what could he do? He was nothing but a weak Taillow, who was no match whatsoever to the Pidgeot, even if she was injured. Dive-Bomb shut his eyes tight, hoping for some sort of miracle that he would have enough strength to stop Nimbus's attack. He felt such anger towards the pokémon and such guilt and remorse towards the other two, especially Vaporeon, he didn't realize exactly what was happening. And he sped towards Nimbus.

Jennifer's POV

After I had pleaded to Dive-Bomb to do something to save Vaporeon and Umbreon, he had begun to glow an orange-ish color. It was mesmerizing to watch – the small bird I had got to know some changed into a completely different and larger shape right before my eyes. Cool move, I thought before he rocketed towards the bird that was threatening the lives of my friends.

I hid my face as the familiar glowing beam of energy began to leave the bird's beak, headed straight for Umbreon. I was startled out of my state when I heard a loud squawk. Following immediately after was the unmistakable sound of something crumbling and falling to pieces. Astounded, I looked up to see what had happened. The large bird was clearly unconscious on the ground, and I wondered if Dive-Bomb had actually come through. But those hopes were dashed when I saw Umbreon on the concrete, collapsed right next to Vaporeon.

Where's Dive-Bomb? I thought, panic arising. As far as I could see it was just me, Vaporeon, Umbreon, and the bird. I spotted the thing that I had heard crumble. Whatever it was before I never figured out, but the pile of ruble still flickered with the orange from the energy beam. I knew then the attack had to have been redirected. But how? Off of Umbreon? But that doesn't make sense…

"Jennifer, are you alright?" I couldn't have been happier to hear that voice.

"Dive-Bomb!" I cried out happily while doing a 180. The new and improved bird descended down from the sky and landed next to me. I answered his question then. "I'm fine, but Vaporeon and Umbreon…" My cheer quickly faded.

"I tried, I really did," Dive-Bomb said with sorrow. "But my Endeavor was too late. Some of the Hyper Beam ended up hitting Umbreon anyway."

I didn't hold anything against the poor bird. "At least you changed just in time to throw the bird's aim off before all of the beam hit him. We'll get them out of here and safe somehow," I told him. "I didn't know you could change shape though, that's pretty cool." Let's just say I was clueless.

Dive-Bomb seemed startled, looking at me with wide eyes. "What!? I didn't change sha -" He cut off when he looked at his wings. He turned his head around to look behind him, and he felt the top of his head with a wing. "…I'm a Swellow."

I couldn't help but smile some when Dive-Bomb proceeded to fly into the air laughing and do some distorted of the victory dance. So that's what an evolution looks like, I thought, feeling rather dumb. I turned my attention on the three fainted pokemon – Umbreon, Vaporeon, and the large bird. All the others had left. The battle was won. But there was one problem – how were we to get help if me or Dive-Bomb had no idea how to get them out of here?

Authoress: What's going to happen with Vaporeon and Umbreon? Did Espeon's Teleport work right? Who'd Reika run into in the sewer? Not telling you, but I'd like to hear some of your own answers to the questions. Also, was the battle ok? Well, I hope yall enjoyed that chapter. Geez, was it long to write and type! Yea, I write rough drafts on paper first so I can fix anything I want to with the chapter when I go to type it. Plus, if the computer crashes, I have back-up. I'm gonna stop talking now. I'll see yall next chapter, pwease review! XD Ja.
