Saur pulled his vines out and wrapped them around Fay, helping her up. With that done, we were now seated on Suicune's back, who now stood up on all four paws.

I grunted as I tried to get comfortable. By that, I mean I grabbed Suicune's annoying purple mane and pinned them down so I could breathe normally. Vixie and Shock helped me out as well. Suicune doesn't seem to mind, so we kept at it until the three of us completely pinned his mane under our bums.

Bi hovered around with a smile. "All right! Looks like everyone's ready!"

Suicune nodded, and turned, facing the mountains and the sea of green with blue veins down below.

We were still on the edge of the cliff, and we were too freaking high up if it was snowing here while it was all green down below.

I smiled as 'xie leaned her head on my shoulder, me leaning mine on her head. "Well, at least we'll be quicker this way."

That didn't really sound uplifting. It wasn't a surprise to me now though. It only meant that I'll be leaving soon. Sigh...

"I still don't see a way for us to get down there," Shock pointed out, shaking his head a bit. "Don't tell me that Suicune's going to jump all the way down! I know this guy's a legendary and all, but I don't think he'll survive such a height."

"That's a really well-explained joke, Shock," I said lamely.

"Meh..."

Vixie sighed. "I just hope it won't be too quick."

I was about to respond when we felt Suicune moving. I looked around and saw that he was taking a few steps back, still facing the edge of the cliff.

"...er..." I er'ed.

Bi hovered in front, looking all worried at us. "Um... You guys might need to hold tight." She slightly shook her head. "I don't wanna rescue any of you if we can help it."

I blinked as Suicune stopped, and slowly leaned down, preparing to—

"Wait wait wait!" Shock exclaimed. "Y-you can't be serious!"

I heard Saur's vines wrapped around Suicune. I turned in time to see him already completed a loop around and wrapped itself around me, Vixie, Shock and Fay.

"But it'll be quicker this way," Bi said, still wearing a worried expression for the wrong reason.

Shock's pupils shrunk. Vixie's as well. Fay giggled in excitement.

"Ready?" came Suicune's calm question.

"No!" I exclaimed, Vixie and I already hugging each other in fear.

Suicune nodded, and immediately rushed towards the edge in a second, and jumped.

Aside from the piercing whistle of the air and our screams, Fay's happy scream also reached my ears.


"We've arrived," Suicune announced as he skidded to a stop, leaving trails behind the grassy green ground. After he stopped, he took a breath before he lied down on the ground on his belly.

With a groan, I fell off of his back, and landed on the grass with a soft 'thud,' my friends soon followed.

"See?" Bi hovered above us with a smile. "I told you it'll be quicker."

"I feel like...m-my spirit was left behind...a-and still t-trying to catch up..." I wheezed.

Shock weakly managed to hold his breakfast. He burped in disgust. "Ugh... I think I prefer the slow Tauros ride..."

Fay giggled weakly. "Can we do that again?" I heard a vine making a slapping noise. "Ow..."

I slowly rolled to my stomach, and saw Vixie panting for breath, staring at the sky.

"You okay?" I asked.

She turned her head to face me, and smiled while still panting for breath. "Y-yes... Hah... That was...scary..."

I was about to say something when something pink floated a few meters ahead. Blinking, I saw the pink thing hovered in front of Darkrai. The pink thing nodded its head, and then it turned to look at us, and started floating closer.

"Hi," Mew greeted us as she hovered in front of me. She looked at me, tilted her head, and blinked. "Is something wrong with your mouth?"

I just realized that I hung my mouth wide open. Oh. My. God! "MEW!" I jumped and hugged her and squee'd as I twirled on a hind paw. And I squee'd as I hugged her and rubbed my head on her...I dunno, chest or belly, I think. I didn't care! It's freaking Mew! The cutest thing ever existed!

My twirling slowed, and soon, I stopped, in front of an angry Vulpix. I blinked, and blushed as I let go of a dazed Mew, who fell on the ground beside me with a thud, complete with a foot twitch.

"...uhm..."

"Do you like her more?" came Vixie's quick and scary question.

I flinched, ears drooping. "...uh, n-no!"

Fay suddenly was beside her, leaning her snout to 'xie's ear. "He stammered," she whispered.

I glared at her. "I did not!"

"And then in denial..."

"Fay, no!" I stomped a paw, accidentally stomping it on Mew's tail. "It's not like that!" I then removed my paw and turned to the legendary to apologize, but she seemed to be dizzy at the moment, Bi by her side, trying to help her.

Shock chuckled. "You're worse than Lithe."

"Ahem," a really, really deep and loud voice echoed from behind.

I saw my friends looking up and behind me, face paled. I gulped and slowly turned around, and saw a big...gray plate of some sort. It was a tall thing, so I looked up, and my mouth struck the ground.

Dialga's slightly-glowing red eyes were staring down at us, and I was mere inches away from his foot...or toenail. How a giant godzilla managed to sneak behind me without me noticing was beyond me.

I gulped, and involuntarily took a step back. "Um... W-we come in peace?"

Dialga closed its eyes as it nodded its large head. It then opened them before it replied. "I will hold you on that."

He sounded male. At least, his telepathic voice sounded male. I carefully looked around, trying to find the other one. "Um... Where's Palkia?"

He actually scoffed and shook his head. "And why do you need to know?"

"You're not gonna ask her to be your mate, too, right?" Fay whispered beside me. She was gone when I was about to hit her head, leaving behind a faint trail of giggles.

Darkrai finally hovered to us, and then looked up to Dialga. "You can go and tell Arceus that the other Eevee's here now."

Dialga sighed. "Can't Palkia tell dad that?"

"Just go and tell him," Darkrai said calmly.

Dialga let out another sigh. "...fine." A faint blue aura started to envelop the tall dragon, and he quietly hovered up, up, and with a white flash, he was gone.

I blinked. "Er... T-that was anti-climatic..."

Darkrai sighed. "My nephew and niece can be a handful at times..."

"You're nephew an—you know what? I'm not going to bother..." I shook my head, and just noticed a big entrance to a cave on the base of this tall mountain that Suicune had carried us to. "Um... So...that's where the evolution gem is located?"

Darkrai turned to me and—

"Yup!" Mew replied, hovering in front of me. "So, you're Shadow?"

Vixie growled at her as she stood beside me.

"Calm down, girl," I patted her shoulder, but she ignored me and kept on glaring at the pink thing. I sighed and turned back to Mew, fighting the urge to squee again. "So uh... What about my shadow?"

Mew blinked at 'xie, and then floated back beside Darkrai. She giggled. "Hey! Your mate's the one who touched me first."

Vixie growled. My friends behind me sighed. Darkrai actually rolled his eye.

Bi landed beside my angry mate. "She's just teasing."

"He's really cute, by the way," Mew winked at her. "Lucky catch."

"Can we please just go to the gem already?" I groaned.
