EoS: …Five reviews…

Lauren: Well, EoS is depressed because he only got five reviews for his last chapter. My guess is he wants you guys to review more… So do the opposite!

EoS: Please review.

Scorch321:

EoS: You're improving, but you're wrong.

Foxfawn:

Lauren: You were right? About what?

Electrify:

EoS: Wrong.

RandomDragon:

EoS: Interesting. In the novel I'm writing, Aurore is a good guy. And a bad guy. And neutral.

TheLightningPunisher:

EoS: Okay.

Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 16

"Petilil…" The moemon said, staring at the small girl. She wore a long, elegant mint green dress that revealed a good amount of cleavage and had long mint green hair that flowed down her back. She had a bright red flower sticking out of the side of her hair, which matched her soft red eyes.

"Mommy!" Petilil said, hugging the Lilligant. "It's so good to see you!"

"I… I thought you were…" The Lilligant said, her eyes tearing up. "I'm so glad you're okay…"

"Alright, there. Happy ending." Bluebell said, putting on a false smile. "Now, let's be going, shall we?"

"Mom, these are my saviors!" Petilil said, leading the grass moemon over to Aurore and his moemon. "This is Rin, my new friend!"

"Hello." Rin said, waving her hand. "Mah name's Rin."

"I'm happy to meet you, Rin." Lilligant said, smiling with the dignity and kindness of a refined lady.

"And this is… um… Rin, help me out here…" Petilil said, pointing at Aurore, turning back to Rin.

"Aurore." Rin answered.

"This is Aurore!" Petilil said, smiling. "He saved me from a horrible fate…"

"Then I'm especially happy to meet you." Lilligant said, smiling at Aurore, who slightly blushed.

"Okay, enough!" Bluebell said, stepping between them.

"Hello." Lilligant said, smiling. "Are you a friend of Petilil's?"

"…No." Bluebell said, shaking her head.

"Oh, so you're one of Rin's friends?" Lilligant asked.

"No, I think Rin's annoying." Bluebell said, frowning.

"…Then why are you here?" Lilligant asked, smiling innocently.

"Because I'm one of Aurore's moemon, that's why!" Bluebell exclaimed.

"Oh, I see…" Lilligant said, nodding. "Anyways, Petilil, would you like to play with your new friend Rin?"

"Oh, yes, yes mommy!" Petilil said, nodding.

"Be sure to stay within the garden." Lilligant said sternly. "Please, I couldn't bear to have you get kidnapped again."

"Sure, mommy!" Petilil said, grasping Rin's hand in her own small hand. "Come on, Rin!"

The two of them ran off into the flowers, leaving Lilligant alone with Aurore and his moemon.

"Alright, we've left Petilil off with you, so let's go." Bluebell suggested, smiling.

"Wait, you want to just leave Rin behind?" Oshawott asked, shocked.

"Of course not! I would never- yes." Bluebell said, nodding. "Let's get going!"

"Wait, before you leave, how would you like to come inside for some tea?" Lilligant asked, smiling. "Consider it a thank-you for saving my cute little girl."

"Oh, that's very nice of you!" Aurore said, putting on his best gentleman smile.

Lilligant led the four back into her hut, seating them at a makeshift table. She walked to what looked like a very small convenient stove, heating up the tea.

"Wow, I'm surprised!" Sora said, looking around. "I thought moemon were really primitive!"

"Nope." Bluebell said, shaking her head. "Some of them live relatively nicely. Of course, they do this by stealing things from humans, but whatever…"

"Here you are." Lilligant said, placing the tea cups on the table.

"Mm, this is good!" Bluebell said, taking a sip, smiling. "Thanks!"

"Yeah, really!" Sora said, smiling.

"It is quite nice." Oshawott agreed.

"…" Aurore said, nodding, sipping his tea as well. Soon however, his head began to grow a little funny.

"Anything wrong?" Lilligant asked from across the table, smiling.

Aurore opened his mouth to say something, but was muted. The words just couldn't come out.

The tea… it was drugged… Aurore thought, blacking out, as his other moemon lost consciousness as well, falling off of their chairs and hitting the ground.

"Hello, Mr. Aurore…" Lilligant said, walking around the table, smiling, turning down to look at the trainer lying on the ground, falling asleep. "What do you think of my tea? Mixed a little sleep powder in, and voila…"

"Hah…" Aurore panted, losing consciousness. Lilligant picked Aurore up, pulling him over to her. She kneeled down on the soft grassy hut floor, resting Aurore's head on her lap, smiling down at him lovingly.

"Now then…" Lilligant said, placing her hands on the sides of Aurore's head, their bodies glowing. "Allow me to give you your true reward…"

Lilligant's eyes closed as well, energy flowing from her body into his mind as she smiled at the feeling of them joining.

Lilligant awoke inside of a black area, which she assumed was Aurore's consciousness. It was a black world, Lilligant standing on solid, though no less dark, ground.

"This is weird…" Lilligant said, looking around at the dark world. "As human's minds go, this one is a little… drab. I mean, a black void? How boring… I hope Petilil is having more fun playing with Rin…"

"Hey, Rin, whattaya wanna do next?" Petilil asked, the two having rolled down a hill together. They were laughing and panting and having a wonderful time as they laid in the field of flowers, not a care in the world.

"Alright, let's do it again." Rin said, smiling. "That was really fun!"

"Yeah!" Petilil cheered, the two running up the hill once more. They reached the top, pausing a minute, panting.

"Alright, now let's head down, ahright?" Rin asked, jumping down the hill, rolling down as fast as she could, Petilil following after her.

"No matter how much I look, I just can't find anything…" Lilligant said, frowning. "No dreams, no nothing! First time my dream eater didn't work!"

"I wouldn't say that." A voice called out.

"Huh?" Lilligant asked, turning to the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice was Aurore, though he looked a bit different. He had messy green hair, and instead of wearing white clothes, he wore a black shirt and leather pants. He had green eyes and a malicious smirk, and he slowly but carefully flipped a coin into the air, catching it in his hand. However, Aurore was locked in a cage, hovering in the blackness.

"Who are you?" Lilligant asked, frowning. "You're not Aurore, are you?"

"Damn straight I am." Aurore said, flipping a coin up into the air. "To be specific, I'm a portion of his subconscious. However, there's no way in hell I'm gonna let you probe his dreams like that."

"So why are you locked in a cage?" Lilligant asked, frowning.

"Me?" Aurore asked, smiling, flipping the coin in the air. "You're the one in the cage."

Lilligant looked around, realizing Aurore was right. She was trapped in a cage, the same as his.

"Welcome to the subconscious." Aurore said, smiling. "You tried to get into his dreams. I stopped you, and now you're in a buffer. Sucks to be you right now."

Aurore caught the coin, a smile of pure evil and malice on his face.

EoS: Whoa, what's up with Aurore? Seems like he's got some evil in his mind.
