Trailing Draconis

"Hey, is it only me, or have we been doing nothing for too long?" Marionette asked. "We haven't buggered Team Saviours for quite some time!"

"So sad." Spirit looked close to burst out crying. But then, he suddenly made a change into ultimately happy. "Hey, let's bugger Dusk instead! Hello, Dusk!" He turned to the dusknoir who was leaning against the cave wall.

"Shut up, Spirit." Dusk replied in a bored tone, clearly for at least the fifteenth time.

"Now, Lord Darkrai, why aren't we doing anything?" Marionette turned her attention to her leader, who sat leaned back in a chair, lost in thought.

"Marionette, I've told you. I want to see what kind of havoc those humans will cause!" he said. "They might distract Arceus enough for us to strike her in a good timing."

"Lord Darkrai?" Darkrai turned his head, only to find Blacktail pace into the cave. The scarred eevee bowed to him, and asked: "May I have permission to leave? I have... some business to do."

"Wait a second." Darkrai closed his eyes, or at least the one visible eye, and raised his hand towards Blacktail, who twitched his tail, looking very uncomfortable. Darkrai was reading Blacktail's mind, to be sure that the commander wasn't plotting to betray him. Once he was sure, he opened his eyes again. "All right. you may go."

"Thank you." Blacktail replied and dashed off into the night.

"So we're going, then." Whitetail speeded off into the woods, leaving her teammates behind. They had stayed at Zapdos' place for the night, and now they were preparing to leave.

"Hey, Whitetail, don't stress!" Aura yelled. "I know you want to save Giratina, but it's not that simple! We can't just rush into battle like this!" The eevee stopped.

"Why not?" she asked. "You know... Shadow's vision... It wakes me worried. What if Draconis is too strong for father to... to..." She lowered her head, unable to finish the sentence.

"Don't be stupid! Lord Giratina would never let himself get beaten by a mere human!" Mighty exclaimed haughtily.

"But isn't that what just has happened?" Whitetail yelled, getting more and more frustrated.

"For Arceus' sake, calm down!" Nyara yelled. "I'm confused!"

"Who cares?" Whitetail shouted out. "And hey, don't bring my mother into this!" As Nyara looked even more confused, the eevee couldn't help but smirk a little.

"Hey, listen now!" Feather yelled. "I have an idea!" Everyone stopped screaming at each other.

"What?" Mighty asked, unable to believe his ears. "Does the most annoying guy in this team, that almost could outwit Spirit when it comes to being annoying, actually have an idea?"

"Who's Spirit?" Nyara asked.

"No clue." Feather replied. "But the idea is this: LET'S GO!" And with that, he flew off into the woods.

"Says the guy who knows nothing about exploring." Mighty muttered.

"Great idea!" Whitetail yelled and started following the pidgey. Aura and Nyara also followed. Mighty just stared after them.

"Sorry, Mighty. Looks like Whitetail chose Feather over you." Shadow said with a smirk. But when he met Mighty's deadly gaze, he simply stated: "Just let's follow them, okay?"

"Does anyone have a clue about where we are?" Whitetail asked. Many hours had already passed, and they were still in some kind of forest, once again clueless about their location.

"I do!." Feather yelled. Everyone looked at him in surprise. "We're in a forest..."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Obvious." Mighty spat at him. "You can be surprisingly stupid at times!"

"What? We are in a forest..."

"Just be quiet already!" Nyara yelled in a high-pitched voice. "I'm scared! What if we're lost? What if no one will ever find us? What if we'll be stuck wandering this forest forever?"

"Don't worry, Nyara! I will protect you!"

"Such drama queens you two are." Aura muttered. "All right, it's not that dangerous! Let's see..." She tore out the Wonder Map. "Now, we're... in a forest... and... hey, isn't that mountain over there..." She pointed at a mountain that was visible above the trees.

"Mt. Horn!" Whitetail blurted out. "EeveeClan isn't far away from here! Leaf and Snow might have seen something! Come on, guys, let's go visit my step-parents!"

"All right. That's always a good start." Shadow said as they started walking towards the place where they hoped to find the camp. "It might be easier to find Giratina if we all work together."

"Let me just put this straight, okay?" Nyara sounded throughout annoyed. "Whitetail's father is the legendary pokémon Giratina? And you suspect Draconis to have captured him?"

"How hard do you have to understand?" Whitetail spat. "But yeah, he's my dad. And Arceus is my mum. I think you two would get along rather well."

"Oh, I just wish that I could go home to Master Fortis..." Nyara moaned. "Who cares about freedom and adventures when you can just relax?"

"Everyone here except you." Shadow replied.

"Just shut up and stop being so annoying! That's what Feather does!" Mighty growled. Suddenly, they heard voices behind some bushes.

"Yaaay! EeveeClan members!" Whitetail cried out and took a leap over the bushes, landing on an unfortunate person, making them both tumble to the ground.

"Ouch!"

"What are you doing here again?" an annoyed voice asked. Whitetail raised her head just to find Rusty, Mermaid and Missile glaring at her. Great. The three eevee-related pokémon she hated most in the world. No, wait. There was one more.

"Get off him!" Mermaid spat. Whitetail only now realized that she still was laying on top of someone. She examined the unfortunate person. Brown fur, six scars across his back, black tail... Wait a second.

"Well hello there, princess." Blacktail greeted in a mocking tone.
