Jealous Jewel
"Twilight! Mind coming down to the courtyard."
The Absol was woken suddenly from the voice. The owner of the voice was outside, as the voice came in from the window. It was a voice she knew all too well, and made her smile. She jumped from her bed and ran out of the room, banging her head on the door to open it. She raced down the corridor at tremendous speeds, dodging other Pokémon with less than ease. At the end of the corridor, she realised she had no idea where the courtyard was.
After getting directions off of a Sandshrew, Twilight headed down another corridor, then a set of stairs and then another corridor. She burst through the wooden doors that led out into the courtyard and slowed down to walk down the stone stairs. The open courtyard was covered in grass, and had pink cherry blossom trees lining the two sides. Twilight walked down the line of cherry blossoms to where her old friend was standing.
She almost started to cry. "They told me about the fire and I thought I would never get to see you again."
"Hey a promise is a promise," smiled Alistar, "Yes there was a fire, but we all survived. I have to stay of missions for a while though."
Twilight walked up to Alistar, and was hugged by him.
"I've missed you so much Alistar," she sighed, "I need you as a friend again. That's why I came here."
He broke up the hug after about five seconds, "I've missed you too Twilight. I'm glad to see you again."
The two got to chatting, as they hadn't seen each other in over a year.
"How are your friends then? No one here knew what happened."
"Rolfe is fine but Ruby isn't doing too well, and will not be able to do anything for a little while."
What Alistar forgot to mention, was that Ruby had a giant crush on Alistar. She lay on her bed that day, thinking over what had happened. She almost died, and had Alistar even cared?
…
The rest of Team Ace of Spades were out on a mission, as if they were to stay at the school, one mission would have to have been completed before the first month.
"How did we get stuck doing this. It's so boring," sighed Ace. Their mission was to retrieve a Poke Doll from the Forest of Time. The forest was much more boring than it sounded though, as no Pokémon lived there. The trees in the forest were spread far apart, and didn't trap the Pokémon like the ones outside Moven Town did.
"It was the only one on the board, and we are pretty lucky it's an easy mission," stated Rolfe, "We need a mission under our belt remember."
"There it is," Riley pointed out. Her small arm stretched out to a small clearing in the forest, where a small doll was. "That sure was easy."
Riley bounced over to the doll and picked it up. The trio left the forest, satisfied with their easy job.
…
"Welcome!" Team Fluffy!" pronounced the Perplexer.
"Sorry, whose choice was that?" asked the Grovyle, puzzled as to why he was leader of a Team called Team Fluffy.
"Do you really have to ask that?" said the Croconaw joking.
The team of Pokémon laughed as Grant realised the one who submitted the name was Mitty.
"Maybe I should say: why is that our name?" reworded the Grovyle. He looked down at the team of Justin the Riolu, Rai the Croconaw and Mitty the Mareep. The name didn't really fit, at least most of the team.
"I don't know," said the Perplexer, "Your names sounded boring and 'Team Fluffy' sounds pretty cool."
"I'm ok with the name," said the Riolu, "A names only a name right."
The Grovyle shrugged, "I guess it could be cool. They hear a name like Team Fluffy and we blow them away."
The team smiled. Team Fluffy would be the best Team the academy had ever seen.
…
"So the mission was that easy," said a bed stricken Ruby, "I'm not that bothered that I missed it then."
Riley and Ruby laughed, "And here's the worse part. The owner of the doll didn't even want it. Ace ended up throwing it away."
"All that effort," said Ruby sarcastically. The two laughed more, before they got onto more serious matters.
"How's Alistar doing then?"
Riley looked down at the floor, "Well, one of the new Pokémon, an Absol, they seem to have hit it off."
"Oh," said Ruby blushing, "Well, that's too bad."
"I'm sorry Rub. They'll be other boys."
"Yeah," she sighed, "I'm think I'm gonna sleep now Riley."
Riley jumped up from the stool next to the bed, and pushed it against the wall. "Goodnight Ruby," she smiled. She knew how much Ruby liked Alistar, and really felt for her.
Riley turned the light off as she left the room and shut the door. Ruby couldn't help but cry a little.
…
"Hello," shouted Ruby, "Anyone there."
She was in a dark forest, and the black trees seemed to be closing in on her. Her red fur was the only colour, but it didn't exactly light the forest up. She crawled in and out of trees, "Anyone there!"
Then she saw him. His red coat was unmistakable. Ruby darted towards him, through trees that seemed to never end. That's when the red Pokémon started to run. It ran in the opposite direction of Ruby and tried to get away.
"Al, wait up!" she called. After about five minutes of chasing him, Ruby gave up. She saw the red Pokémon run further and further away, never stopping. "Al," he cried. She was tired, and was almost crying.
She stood up with all her energy and tried to walk. She only made it two steps before she collapsed again. It was then that the light came down. About ten feet in front of where Ruby lay was a doll. Which type of Pokémon it was modelled after was impossible the make out.
As it was the only thing of any significance Ruby could see, she crawled towards the doll with caution.
"What are you?" she asked herself. With some struggle, she made it to her feet and turned the doll over with her paw.
"Greetings!"
The loud voice boomed into Ruby's head. The voice sounded like that of an aristocrat. Ruby couldn't help but be scared from it. She had no idea where it was coming from.
"You and I are very much alike you know."
"Who? What is happening?" she cried.
The doll raised its head, and then its whole body. A purple aura surrounded the doll as it grew in size. The doll was grey and had a yellow zipped mouth. It had three spikes on its head and a yellow star spiked tail. Ruby couldn't help but stare into the dolls red eyes.
"Do you know what Envy is Ruby?" spoke the doll in the same voice.
"I-I do."
"Then please enlighten me to what it is," the doll smiled.
"It's when you want something, that someone else has," she said. She was shaking like mad and feared for her life.
"Then you must agree that you feel it."
Ruby was confused.
"That "something" is Alistar. I know it is. The Absol has Alistar and you want him. Envy rages through your heart."
"Shut up!" shouted Ruby. "You don't know anything!"
The doll laughed. "I feel the same way, literally: my owner's new doll. I want my owner, but that other doll has her. Envy will grow unless it's stopped."
…
The loud sound of Thunder woke Ruby from her dream. She looked around the room, and was slightly scared by the darkness of it. It was the middle of the night, and the streets outside were still dark. The room she was staying in until she got better was on the fifth floor of the school and gave Ruby a good view of the streets. Rain splashed the streets that not a single Pokémon walked.
"It was only a dream," she thought to herself. "I had to be."
"Envy will grow!"
The voice came from inside Ruby's head, and came with a headache.
"AHH!"
…
Ruby sighed. She had had a headache throughout the night, and the doll from her dream had somewhat been haunting her. She had received information that Team Star, the other members Team AoS and Team Tail (who she had had a brief encounter with) were all out on missions.
With none of her friends around, she was bored. Because of this, all she could think of was her dream. Visions of Alistar running away from her and that doll made her cry with pain so much so that it caught the attention of a certain Mareep, who was just passing by.
"Are you dying?" said the sheep as she leaned into the room. She then walked in, without invention.
"What?" said Ruby, still tired from almost no sleep.
"I said are you dying, because if you are; can I have your jetpack?"
Ruby laughed, "I'm afraid I'm not dying and I don't own a Jetpack."
"The potato lied," Mitty whispered to herself before speaking the Ruby "I'm Mitty, but be careful; I'm a badass ninja."
Ruby laughed more, "I'm Ruby, and you're funny."
"And you're a Wizard," she smiled.
The two Pokémon hit it off, and Ruby forgot all about her dream, until the voice returned.
"I can feel it grow! Envy will take over!"
"What did you say?" asked Mitty. "Your voice went all weird there."
"Oh my Arceus! Envy is getting to me. You need to stop it."
Mitty stared blankly at Ruby, "Do you have change for a Taco."
Fin. How was that? Envy is taking over Ruby, but can it be stopped. It's all up to Mitty, and the rest of Team Fluffy.

Questions:
1. The new Enemy, Envy, is part of a group based on the seven deadly sins. They are all Pokémon, so can you match up each sin to a Pokémon?
2. Pro AlistarxRuby or No AlistarxRuby
3. Do you like Team Fluffy?
4. *Sigh* I sure am lucky to have Fan Art for this story. To bad about my other storys 'Channel Wave' and 'Fossil King.'
Ok, here is the deal. The person who gets the fiftieth review (the next one to review) will get the make an important plot choice, and there character will feature.
Rai: Review pleases!
Stay safe, KC
