I heard the sound of water rushing and Wingulls calling in the distance. My eyes flutter open and I see the ocean crashing against the sand at my feet. A beach? Before I could ask too many questions, Chance runs down the wet sand to me, barking happily.

"Chance," I call to him happily.

"Hello, Beautiful," he bounds up to me and kisses me, lingering on my lips.

"Chance," I pull away, "Where are we?"

"I know," he smiles looking out to the water," isn't it perfect here!?"

I look out past the water at the sun, which was setting behind the ocean streaking the sky with orange and pink. "It is breath taking," I whisper, gazing at the sky.

"Too bad I'm leaving," he sighs, dropping his head turning away.

"Wait! What?," I follow him.

"I have to leave," he tells me.

"I'll go with you,"

"No," he scoffed," you can't come."

"When will you come back," I was beginning to panic.

He dug up a yellow stone from the sand, placing it between us; it had a flame on the front and it glowed with power. "Why would I come back? I can be free and do whatever I want without you! I can improve my life! I need to do this and if that means leaving you, so be it. It was bound to happen eventually," he touched to the stone with his paws and closed his eyes.

Chance was replaced with a large orange dog, with huge black stripes. He looked like Chance, but he had much more fluffy tan fur and his tail was twice as long. His eyes glared down at me through the gaps of fur, his eyes were black and seemed to gleam with evil. An Arcanine!

"You seem surprised! Of course you were always a little slow," he chucked in the back of his throat, not in happy loving way.

"Chance?," I questioned the giant figure.

"Who else!," he bellowed angrily.

In fear I ran, as fast as I could away from the monstrous beast. The beach was dark and the moon shown on the water, lighting the night slightly. The beast laughed from behind me and the ground began to shake as he ran after me.

"Run, run, as fast as you can," it whispered in my ear, but when I glanced behind me no one was there. I stopped running and looked around, I was alone on the beach. My heart was racing and I could feel it pounding in my head as I took deep soothing breaths. I saw a light in the distance and jogged towards it, hoping it would give me answers.

It was a Rapidash sitting by the shore, staring into the ocean; when I came close enough he turned to me.

"Ahh, Violet," he spoke as if he knew me," we were all wondering when you would come." He stood and strode towards me, but I cowered with the fear of not knowing this stranger. " Of course you hide, typical Violet" he chuckled. Wait! I know that laugh! Jack?

"J-J-Jack," I say in awe, staring up at the Rapidash.

"She speaks! Yes, Violet, it is I: Jack."

"You evolved?"

"Of course. It's only natural," he sat in front of me," I was strong enough, unlike you," his voice cuts into me.

"W-w-w-what?"

"You are so weak," he glares at me, his mane shinning brightly around him. " You will never know the glory of evolving, it's pitiful, Violet. It's sad really, that I associate with such a low life Vulpix. You will not amount to anything in your life. If that isn't the most pathetic thing, I don't know what is," he spoke casually, like my life was nothing.

A tear escapes my eyes and rolls into the sand, why are you being so cruel?

"Maybe I should put you out of your misery," he considers.

I slowly back away from him, but heart was beating loudly, I was sure he could here it. He turned to me again," Run away like always, Violet. It doesn't surprise me that you don't stand up for yourself, not even now." I turn and run up the beach, away from the water and into the night. Past the beach there was a path that lead me further onto the island, I ran until the pain in my side was unbearable. I fell to the ground, panting loudly, why is this happening?

I sobbed to myself quietly, rethinking all the cruel words that were said from Jack and Chance. Maybe they're right. As I was wallowing in self pity, I heard a whistle of a Pokémon, so I ran and hid behind a bush. A short Pokémon with long ears came into view, walking down to the beach, it was a Victini. Theresa!?

"Theresa?" I say to the Victini.

It stops in it's tracks, "Woah! Who said that? How do you know me?"

I rush out to see her," Oh thank goodness you're here Theresa. I'm so confused!" I hugged her tightly.

The Victini pushes me away and looks me up and down with an uncertain face," Uhm, who are you exactly," She asks.

"It's me," I say baffled" Violet! We were best friends! Don't you remember me?!"

"Uhh... no.," She turns to leave, but hen looks back to me," Oh, whoever you are, have you seen my boyfriend?"

"Wait, who are you dating."

She smiles," He is so dreamy. Ufff! He is a-..."

I interrupt her description," It doesn't matter, Theresa! We have to get out of here! Let's go!" I nudge her away from the shore.

"No," she runs from me," I don't even know who you are, Creep! Go away!"

I run after her," It's not safe Theresa! Come Back!" The darkness of the night is overwhelming," Wait!," I call to her as she runs onto the sandy beach.

"Jay!? Jay!?," She yells frantically," Jay, help me!"

I gain on her before pouncing on her back tackling her to the ground," Stop!"

She screams into me ear, thrashing wilding under my grip. "Stop, Theresa! I'm helping you!"

"EW, go away! JAY!? JAY!?," she cries.

I am thrown off her back and soar through the air, greeting the ground face first. My back is searing with pain from the attack I received, but I dig my head out of the sand and see Theresa hugging the Rapidash while sobbing into his arms.

"She attacked me on the path... and I tried to run away b-b-b-but," she broke into tears again.

"There, there," he soothes her.

I gasp with the pain on my back and they both look at me; Theresa frightened but the Rapidash with pity. Tears sting my eyes as they approach me in the sand.

Theresa kicks me in the stomach," That's for tackling me, Asshole!" I gasp for air, but there was none. I'm silently drowning on land while they watch me, offering no assistance.

"How can you not remember me," I wheeze with agony.

Theresa leans down to me, so we are eye level and says,"Oh my God! I don't know you, freak! I don't know how you know me, stalker, but leave me alone!," she spits in my face then rises to the Rapidash.

"I'm just glad you're okay," the Rapidash turns to her," I don't know what I would have done if something happened."

"Oh, Jay," she blushes and they began to kiss.

I turn away, getting control of my injuries. I try to stand but my body cries and I collapse onto the sand again. The couple breaks their passionate moment to watch me struggle.

"Pathetic," Theresa states blankly.

The Rapidash grunts with agreement," I know. Violet, didn't I tell you, you can't win. You're too weak," he calls to me.

"Wait! You know her?," Theresa asks.

"Oh yes. You know her too, this is the Vulpix we abandoned, remember?"

Her eyes widened at me," OHHH! This is her? I remember her, but she seemed stronger then," she laughed," We left because she was totally dragging us down. And look at us: you are a Rapidash and I'm a level 62! It was the best decision of our lives!," she emphasized.

"You may be a level 62, but you still ran from her. What is she? A level 10?," he laughed at her.

"Don't laugh at me! I'll battle her right now!," she broke her embrace with him and stood in battle stance.

The ground was shaking and an Arcanine came into view. "I heard yelling? You guys okay?"

"Of course," the Rapidash smiled brightly," Just reencountering an old friend," he then turned to me.

"Oh...," the Arncanine spoke coldly," Her," he rolled his eyes and went to sit by the Rapidash.

Why is this happening!? WHAT is happening?!

"Get up!," Theresa spat at me," Get up before you never walk again!"

"You get 'em girl," The Arcanine called from the sidelines.

I struggled to stand, but somehow I did, while my body protested. I felt weak and I knew that I looked it too, but I put on a strong face and prepped myself.

I gathered my energy and attacked with Fire Spin, which she wasn't expecting, but she dodged it barely singed.

"YOU BITCH!," She shouted at me, then turned to see her damaged fur.

Theresa closed her eyes and blue and purple began to swirl around her, creating a ball of power in front of her before it came rushing towards me. I didn't have time to duck or block, so it hit me full force, knocking me backwards, blurring my vision.

"AND THAT'S A KNOCKOUT!," I heard them cheering.

"Good job on that Hyper Beam, babe," Rapidash told her.

"Thanks," she panted," let me recharge real quick."

"I can't believe I dated her," the Arcanine spoke," It's embarrassing!"

They all laughed and came to where I lay motionless, peering down at me with smug expressions.

"What a worthless piece of life," Arcanine said disgusted.

"We made the right choice to ditch her when we did," Theresa said cheerfully.

"You guys wanna get something to eat," Rapidash asked.

The blackness enclosed my vision before anyone could reply. The darkness lasted for an eternity before my senses detected something.

I heard the sound of water rushing and Wingulls calling in the distance. My eyes flutter open and I see the ocean crashing against the sand at my feet. A Beach?
