EoS: I don't like this chapter much.

Lauren: So you're up to once a week reviews?

Scorch321:

EoS: Well, she finally found someone who cares about her. You can't blame her for being a little (a lot) clingy.

HidingFromTheCold:

EoS: Don't worry, I'm working on it.

TheLightningPunisher:

EoS: No. No they are not. Rin is like ten.

RandomDragon:

EoS: I'm trying as hard as I can to get them out!

Nomercy745:

EoS: You'll see. Oh, BOY will you see.

Lovethastory:

EoS: Sorry, but I can't really tell you more about Rin Aurore and Sora. See, for each one of them, their backstories are incredibly necessary to the plot. The only thing I can tell you is that Aurore spent his entire childhood locked up inside of a tower studying, with Sora being his only companion.

AlreadyCaught'EmAll:

Lauren: I'm hoping for that too.

ProfessorBranch:

Lauren: I agree with you.

Some guy named Blaze:

Lauren: Then guys are stupid.

Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 13

"Whoa…" Rin said, staring at the city they had arrived in. "What is this place?" The city was a strange place, surrounded by trees, with large warehouses sticking up into the air. Most of the buildings in the city were warehouses, with the exception of a large building in the center of town.

"This is Nacrene City." Aurore explained. "It's known as the city of art, due to the unique cityscape. However, beneath the surface of this city is a dark, dark exterior."

"What?" Oshawott asked, surprised.

"Nacrene City is well known for capturing moemon in the neighboring forests and offering them up for auction." Aurore said, frowning grimly.

"Auction?" Oshawott said, infuriated. "How can they do that? Moemon aren't just items you can sell, they're living beings!"

"Yeah, well, the rest of the world doesn't understand that." Aurore said, frowning. "I mean, it's almost as if moemon are just animals with no free will… I mean, I could understand some people doing it if they looked like strange creatures or animals, but how can people just declare them objects when they look no different from us?"

"…You know, I'm not sure if there was something wrong with that speech, but I'm still feeling a bit uneasy." Oshawott said, frowning.

"That's not even the worst of it." Aurore said, turning to Oshawott. "Listen, you are to, by no means, go off on your own."

"What? Why?" Oshawott demanded angrily.

"Because you have no trainer." Aurore snapped, glaring at Oshawott with a surprising seriousness. "Technically speaking, you're not registered under any trainer. Therefore, anyone could kidnap you and put you up for auction."

"Wh-what?" Oshawott asked, shaking.

"Master, then, does that mean that…" Sora asked, hugging Aurore tightly, looking around, as if kidnappers were already surrounding them.

"Don't worry." Aurore said, scratching her hair, smiling reassuringly. "I won't let anyone hurt you."

"How can they do that?" Bluebell asked, looking down sadly. "Treating us like we're monsters… Just because we're different…"

"People are evil, evil things." Aurore said, frowning. "They hate everything different from them."

"Uh-uh." Sora said, shaking her head, her black-red hair shaking with her. "They aren't! Master, you're good! And if you're good, then I know there are a bunch of good people out there somewhere!"

"Yeah, but here…" Aurore said, staring at the building. "Here, there are nothing but evil, disgusting people…"

"I'm curious…" Rin said, frowning. "Hey, Aurore, ya said that all people are evil, and ah've seen proof of that mahself from livin' on the streets, but why do ya hate evil people so much?"

"You want to know why?" Aurore asked, frowning, taking Rin by the hand. "Let me show you." Aurore led Rin toward the large building, his moemon following after him.

They entered the white building, and arrived at a terrible sight. They had entered what looked like a large showroom, packed full to the brim with people. Men, to be specific. At the very back wall, there was a large stage erected, moemon of a variety of ages and colors lined up against the back. A rather obese man stood in front of them, holding a microphone. His face was oily and sweaty, his sweat having drenched the suit he'd managed to squeeze himself into.

"A moemon auction." Aurore said, frowning. "They offer moemon up for auction, selling them to the highest bidder."

"How terrible…" Bluebell said, hiding behind Aurore, in an attempt to keep from being seen.

"You're a bad parent, you know that?" Oshawott asked, frowning. "Bringing a little girl somewhere like this."

"I'm not going to shield Rin from the world." Aurore said, frowning. "But you're right. This isn't a place for children." Aurore placed a hand on Rin's shoulder comfortingly. "We should go."

However, an announcement from the front stage caused Aurore to turn away from the exit.

"And, for the last event of the evening, we'll have the moemon capture competition!" The large man shouted. "Eight of you will get the chance to capture this little cutie!"

The man stepped to the side, two large men shoving a small moemon out onto the stage. The moemon had short grassy green hair down to her neck, and her body was covered in a matching green dress, and she had bright red eyes that were nearly soaked with tears, the little girl almost ready to cry.

"She's just a child…" Aurore said, gritting his teeth. "How could they? To a little girl like that…"

"Master, let's just go…" Sora said, pulling on Aurore's sleeve.

"Not now." Aurore said, shaking her off. Suddenly, the light shone down on him.

"You, sir, are gonna be one of the competitors!" The man announced, smiling.

"Really?" Aurore said to himself, frowning.

After more competitors were chosen, Aurore was gestured backstage.

"Sora, I'm gonna have you return." Aurore said, returning Sora to her moeball. "Alright, Oshawott, Bluebell, I need you two to stay with Rin."

"But I wanna come!" Bluebell said, looking around fearfully. "These guys are really creepy…"

"Listen, I need you two to stay with Rin." Aurore repeated, staring at them. "Please, can you do that? I don't want her to be left alone in a place like this."

"Alright." Bluebell said, nodding bravely.

"Alright, don't worry. I'll be back soon." Aurore said, turning around.

"Aurore…" Rin said, pulling on his sleeve. "Where are ya goin'?"

"I'm going to save someone who can't save herself." Aurore said, walking towards the stage, disappearing into the crowd.

Lauren: I don't know what to say to this.
