I'm baaaack! I was just thinking back to the days a chapter was 900 words... short things. Well, until I get one review, i'm not posting another chapter. I want some feedback being a newbie writer. Oh Yeah! this chapter will have POVS. K? Good. *Starts to roll film* Pokemon ownership is the fish that got away...

Chapter 4

Kiara's POV

"Thanks for checking in." I said, turning to Chimecho. I sat at the foot of Rook's bed, staring at her face. She had been knocked out for about 4 days now. "She's still asleep though. I'll let you know when.. Hmm?" I heard Rook shift and I turned to her. Rook blinked her eyes open."Oh Rook! Your'e awake! R- oh, nevermind. she just opened her eyes for a moment again. I hope she wakes up soon."

Timeskip - 3 days

Rook's POV

I slowly opened my eyes. I was on a bed with a blanket of straw underneath me. Kiara was in front of me, her back turned. I lifted my head to look at her.

"Hmm?" she said, turning. "Oh Rook! Your'e awake! How you feeling?" She asked me. Getting a better look around, I noticed i was in a bright yellow room with several other beds alike mine.

"I bit sore.." I said, my voice scratchy. Probably from being out. I thought. "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been asleep for about a week." Kiara said calmly. A Week?! I thought, surprised.

"Wigglytuff wanted me to stay by your side until you woke." Kiara told me. ".. and I wanted to reassure myself that you were still alive..." she added with a whisper.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"The guild's hospital room. It's a building behind the guild's main building. Mrs. Happiny's in charge of this place. She's not here right now though." Kiara informed me. "But i'm pretty sure you are interested in what went on while you were asleep. "

"Yeah, I am." I said, confirming that.

"The Grand Council only charged Drowzee with kidnapping and attempted murder." Kirar said sternly. "At least he's getting punished though... but all those 'dead pokemon' apparently don't matter because they're rabid..." I thought back to the Doduo who had saved my life the first time...

"On a better note..." Kiara said. "Azurill's testimony granted our team the Bronze Rank according to HAPPI. We arn't the fastest team to achieve it, though. Team A.C.T. has that special honor. However, we did get it faster then most. As for the guild, most of the members stopped by to check on you, Mrs. Happiny saying that that was out of the ordinary, because a lot of pokemon don't check in on her patients as often." She said, smiling at the checking in part. "Chimecho had something especially interesting for us..."

"What is it?" I asked, perking up.

"We have a small fan club~" Kiara said. "A pokemon would like to join our team. I was going to invite him for a chat but... It seems as if you need your rest." I nodded, my head feeling like a weight. "I'll arrange a meeting another time, then. I'll go tell him afterwards." She started to walk to a exit on the far side of the building. "We could use more team members. It could prevent... well..." she paused and turned around to face me.

"When we formed a team I forgot about the danger.." Kiara said with her head down. "..A-and now you're hurt..." tears started to drip down her cheecks. "I-i'm sorry.. When we first met, I thought it was fate! I trusted you... but I don't know if I can trust myself." A sense of guilt grew in my stomach like I had swallowed a stone.

"No, I should be apologizing." I said. "When we met on the beach... I had just woken up. I had no memory of who I was of how I got there. Apon hearing of the guild.. I jumped up because I could get help there." I stared down at my bedding. "I guess I lied to you... I guess I never expected to be a ally." Kiara looked at me with a concerned face.

"You remembered nothing." Kiara said. "Rook, you don't have to apologize. I would have understood you if you had told me, you know. So you joined the guild so someone could help... well, you certainly have help... me~"

"It's not the reason." I said, shocking Kiara. "People may say i'm insane though. Simply put, I can't say that i'm a Eevee."

"You are a ditto, then." Kiara suggested. I had seen one before- It made a mirror image of me.

"Not really..." I said. "I really don't know how to put this... but... I feel like I am- or was- a human. And somehow I as turned into a Eevee."

"Um... well..." Kiara said. I got a bad vibe from that. " Besides the obvious.. I mean... there's a problem. Humans are extinct."

Timeskip

8 weeks have gone by since I went to Mt. Bristle. Not much has happened since that time. Things have been... very quiet around the guild. Too quiet for my taste. These past 8 weeks Ive spent recovering. Which was boring. Very very very very very very very very boring. It's certainly hard to make small talk with Mrs. Happiny. Mrs. Happiny said I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital, much to my disappointment. Kiara on the other hand, was. During the 8 weeks I've had here she did minor expeditions. However, she was forbidden from taking on criminals. She did manage to build up strength though. And she recruited quite a team.

Bubble was the first recruit. The male shellos (west sea) was assertive in offering help. He trained Kiara and proved very helpful on missions. He was the one Kiara wanted me to interview, and whenI got the chance, I liked him a lot.

Stella was our second recruit. When Kiara and Bubble returned to Mt. Bristle, they met the Doduo's niece - a Starly. She was shy (At least we know we can talk) being not allowed to talk to outsiders by Doduo. But she was every excited and a powerful teammate when she joined.

Medusa was our final recruit. The Tangela had cleared a undiscovered cave all by herself and refused to spill the location to anyone. She was much over confident becuase of this. Kiara beat her very easily. I choose to believe she joined to get a second chance to win in another fight with Kiara.

Our team also now had the Silver Rank! Wigglytuff congratulated us on this great achievement. And it also seemed as if everyone joined to earn something. But the real question is... ...who will find what we are looking for?

"WTF are you doing?" Chatot sceamed.

Uh-oh.. I turned hastily. "Uh, hey Chatot." I said.

"Shouldn't you be in the hospital?" Chatot squawked. I was on the second floor of the main building.

"Uh yes... but i've been walking fine on this leg for two days now." I said. "I've been fine." I held up my leg, still in a bandage from when I had first woken up after I fought Drowzee.

"DAYS?" Chatot asked.

"oops.." I muttered. I'm screwed.

"Urf.. Well, it's about time you got back to your team." Chatot said. "Go see Mrs. Happiny and check if it's okay for you to return to active duty. Kiara can come with you."

"Yes, sir." I said. Ugh, but I can do it myself.. I thought.

Kiara's POV

"Rook's looking for you." Chatot informed me. "Take her to Mrs. Happiny's." I was leading Bubble and Stella to the request board when Chatot told me. I looked around the first floor and spotted Rook.

"Rook!" I said, the team (Medusa not here at the moment) bouncing over to her.

"Hey, Kiara!" Rook said. I felt tears gather in my eyes.

"How you feeling? Hurt any?" I asked.

"I'm fine!" Rook said.

"Should you be walking around?" I said, uncertain.

"I'm fine.." Rook muttered.

"Ha, you two catch up." Bubble said. "We will return this orb and get a new mission." Stella nodded beside Bubble before going off to Mama Kangascan's.

"Hey, thanks!" I said. "Anyway, we should head down to Mrs. Happiny's." I turned to Rook. "You never got the whole town tour too, so..."

"Uh, Kiara." Rook said. "Have you been thinking about how I told you that I ... was human?"

"Yeah." I said. "Reminded me of my mother, actually."

"Your mother?" Rook asked.

"Yeah, she was a Ninetales that lived on Mt. Freeze. When I was little, she told me tales of her life. One of her tales was about a human turned Cyndaquil who saved the world from the metor crisis." I said.

"Wow! Is he or she still alive?" Rook said.

"No, the metor crisis happened hundreds of years ago." I said.

"Oh, what was the metor crisis then?" Rook asked.

"Oh, the metor crisis was a event where the world was off balance becuase of a metor what was going to hit. The metor was destroyed by Rayquaza so we were saved." I answered. "But the only reason Rayquaza saved us was becuase a rescue team had the courage to go into his domain and ask for help. The human turned pokemon was supposedly part of that rescue team. C'mon. we should go to Mrs. Happiny's." We left the guild and followed a steep path down behind the guild to a small hut by a cliffside.

"Do the pokemon Groudon and Kyogre ring a bell?" Rook asked.

"No, they don't. Why?" I said.

"Oh... just when you said 'Rayquaza' I remembered those names." Rook said.

"I don't remember anything along that, sorry." I said.

"That's fine." Rook said. "If it's not a touchy subject... what happened with your mother? You said 'was'."

Chapter End

Well, seems as though Kiara's mother was the Ninetales in Red and Blue~ Anyway, Wingedpaws, signing out.
