I'm back.

6 hours later into Luxray's sleep from the pill…

Luxray slowly wakes up, seeing the sun set down, changing the whole tone of the room. He looked at the chair seeing Glaceon still sitting there, his head still slightly down.

"…You didn't leave?" asked Luxray. Glaceon shook his head.

"No, just thinking," he responded. "Never mind about that, let me just finish on with the story."

He seems a little more… Luxray thought …a little more concerning.

First person narrative—

When we were both old enough to leave our houses beyond the park, we left around near Mystery Dungeons just for the hell of it. The one we mostly went to was to Beach Cave, before the renovations.

Why did they make renovations?

I dunno; to give a challenge, I guess…

Beach Cave was the closest one around us, so why not? Walking near it, we saw several Pokémon go in and see the same Pokémon go out another way; at times we've seen some go in, and see them thrown out, knocked out cold in a different exit. Funny as hell to see them…sometimes we'd poke at them for a while before they wake up… Gets awkward when they wake up at mid-poke…especially when someone was only a little older than me at the time…and the opposite gender…

Anyway, one day, after finishing up poking at a knocked out body, Luke started to wonder for a minute.

"…What if we went into a Mystery Dungeon?" he asked. I turned to him questionably.

"What do you mean?" I inquired.

"What if we just went in into one, try to see how far we can go in one?"

I thought about it for a moment, seeing him and me in a dungeon. "Yeah…we should try that… but…how do we prepare for it?"

"I don't know…I feel we're good to go now."

I looked back down at the body, twitching a bit. It moaned a bit, feeling as if it were to wake up.

"We should get out," I said quickly, stepping back. He looked down, seeing the same thing I did.

"Whoa, let's go." We ran off quickly before knowing the body could wake up.

"Is there anything we should bring to the dungeons?"

"I dunno…maybe a few berries."

"Alright, I'll get some in a bit. What do we tell our parents?"

"We're not gonna tell them."

"We're not?"

"No, we're not. They can't find out or else they'll freak out—"

Hey Glay, you—

Don't call me that.

Glaceon. You okay? You keep…narrating…or the voices or something.

Yeah, why?

Uh…never mind, just continue.

After the little talk, we didn't tell our parents. Still wonder if it was right to not tell them. We decided to go in later that day.

We came back to the entrance to Beach Cave, noticing that the bodies that were knocked out had left. We walked in toward the entrance, looking up at the rock and minerals above us. We weren't sure if we made the best decision yet, but we couldn't turn back now.

Walking in, we encountered a lot of Lileep and Anorith, though they were like us: weak, sucky, and not very tactical in moves. Regardless, we won most of the fights.

One battle against two Lileeps and one Anorith, I thought we weren't going to make it. A few physical strikes against each other, an Anorith decided to Quick Attack on Luke. It was a clean blow; it knocked him out of his feet, almost passed out; though he couldn't get back up to keep on moving. It got me mad a bit; none of the enemies were knocked out, so I was on my own.

The first thing I did was to bring up dirt in their faces. My God, I did not think Sand Attack would be so useful then… Most of the attacks that they tried to land didn't land; I gave a clean blow to the Anorith and it knocked it out. Only two Lileep were left.

What could I do after? Shit, Tail Whip.

Slap them no damage with your fluffy tail?

Can you shut up?

After it, I scratched then up, knocking them both out. I quickly ran toward Luke, still almost passed out. His eyes were almost closed, looking at mine. I only looked into his eyes for a second before reaching for a berry. An Oran berry.

"Eat it," I told him. He took it slowly and started to nibble on it…kind of eating it after a while. He choked up a bit, coughing; but was better the moment after. He looked at me, and barely, just barely, smiled at me. I could barely hear him say to me, "…Thank you…"

So was it not like him to thank people?

Wasn't sure back then… He still won't say, but it does seem like it.

We ran on, fighting more Lileep and Anorith, seeing an Azurill here and there. We only had one more berry, another Oran berry, to hold on to. We didn't know how close we were to finishing, but we felt that we were almost there.

In fact we were there. We reached to a dead end, seeing nothing around… Or at least we thought.

Luke looked around, seeing a Sitrus berry on the center of the room. He picked it up and held it. He walked off, lowly saying, "Let's go."

It didn't take much to exit the dungeon… Like it mattered.

"It really was worth it to go to that Mystery Dungeon because it kind of…showed who we were, aside friends. It kind of…brought us together even more."

"…So are you gay?"

"What the hell did I just say?"

"Kidding, kidding…so when did you evolve?"

"When I evolved…? Well…"

30 second later… First Person Narrative

After several years, we were old enough to move out from our parents. Not knowing how to deal with living alone…we decided to, uh…live together. Luckily, it was the house we live now that was rentable.

You're renting the house?

Something went down with the original family that lived here… So we kind of…bought it from the bank…eventually.

Anyway, we rented the house out. Having four rooms, we weren't sure what to do with the other two rooms, seeing we both had our own room. We didn't do much; we just kind of left it alone, cleaned up once in a while.

How old were you when you moved?

…Fifteen—

We wanted to—

What?

…

We wanted to do something more, something that showed that we were not young kids anymore. We were still an Eevee and a Riolu. We had to evolve…

Didn't you need like a…stone or something?

…Something like that…

Me: I had so many choices…but most didn't stick out to me… I didn't choose fire because…well…I knew what Luke would evolve into. I found water weak…didn't know why, I just did. The Espeon and the Leafeon looked a bit feminine… So I was really left with the Jolteon, Umbreon and Glaceon. I decided on what I look like now.

Isn't a Glaceon just as feminine than a Leafeon?

What?

Well… The Flareon part I can understand. The Vaporeon I can get…it does look a bit feminine itself…But more of a fish. The Espeon...I dunno, I can get what you mean from it. Electricity and Darkness…could've liked you better as a Jolteon…

Where are you getting at?

A Glaceon is just as feminine as a Leafeon. I mean…if you really are gay, I would think being a fish would be better than being ice.

Can you shut up about that?

I'm just saying…but…c'mon, why be ice when you can be a fish? You know…a special fish…being able to breath in the air and breathe in the water?

…I didn't think of it that much, okay?!

Whoa, take it easy… I was only asking… So, uh… Why did you chose to be a Glaceon…Glaceon?

I chose to be a Glaceon because Leaf decide to be a Leafeon.

You liked her that much?

…Yeah…I kind of did…

"Do you even want to be an Ice-type?" Luke asked.

"Sure, why not?" I asked him. "I could get used to the cold easily that way. I mean, c'mon. It would be bad for me to be Fire-type with a Lucario and a Leafeon around." Luke smirked at my response. Being a Flareon was my first intention, even before I met the two. But it was just best for the others.

But being the weak link of Grass and Steel doesn't mean you still couldn't get along with each other.

It didn't matter; it was just the best for the others. Besides…I'll admit, I did like her.

All I knew was that I needed an Ice Rock.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"…I don't know," he told me. Neither of us knew. We could have asked Luke's parents…but there was still tension with them.

I know I shouldn't ask…but…how old was he when he moved out?

Seventeen and a half.

Oh my God…

So because of it, we had to learn on our own. From a friend, we heard where we could evolve. In another dungeon, which wasn't in our favor…

God, I know what you mean…

Like before, we took in what we needed: a few berries and seeds, all to keep us up in the dungeon.

But shit…I don't even remember what happened in the middle, though I do remember this:

Trying to run away toward another room, Luke almost tripped over something. He stopped and looked down at it. He picked it up, looking at its golden color. "The hell is this?" he asked.

"I dunno," I responded, "just take it with you, we don't have that much time!"

There was like ten Pokémon following us.

Why?

I don't remember…

Running off, we reached toward a dead end…or at least we thought it was.

We both looked around, seeing nothing much but that the space was really…really big. Like as if there was no freakin' ceiling to that place…and we came down to that area—it made no freakin' sense.

Somewhere during the search, a light just spontaneously appeared in the dead center of the room. It was bright…and—

I think I was already there.

…Fuck you.

"This is the Luminous Springs…" A voice said. We had…no idea where it came from. It just came from everywhere. "…If it is evolution you seek, then come forward to evolution."

I took a step forward, looking around trying to see where the voice came, and looked up at the light. "U-uhm…y-yeah…" I really wasn't sure what to say. "…We both came…f-for evolution."

Nothing happened for about a minute, until the voice said, "You have a variety of options for evolution… Yet…you do not have the requirements to seek any evolutions."

Damn…that must've sucked.

It did…

"However… Your blue friend over there…does." I turned to him, he looking around.

"W-who, me?" he asked.

"Yes… You do."

"What do I have? I don't know what I have."

"Pull out your items and see what you have."

Luke did as what he was told to do. All he had were berries and…well, berries, and that one golden thing he picked up earlier. That stood out more than everything else. Luke picked it up, looking at it even more.

"Yes…that…" the voice said. Luke looked up, still trying to see where the voice came from. "…The Sun Ribbon." Luke looked down at the ribbon, seeing what it really was. It really was a ribbon.

"What's this for?" Luke asked. The voice said nothing in response. Luke to me and lowly said, "I shouldn't have said that…"

"Come forward," The voice asked. Luke did as instructed, stepping into the light. "Place the item on the floor…and pace one step away." He did as instructed again. The voice said nothing more…

Well I think you know the rest.

I don't know about the item part, but yeah, I do.

I looked at the new body in awe…surprised to, at the time, even say was Luke. New body, new height, new type…new attitude.

"If that is all the evolution there will be… This has been Luminous Springs."

Just like that, the light just disappears, and the voice that felt so near was just gone. Luke turned to me.

"Dude…" he started, in a deeper tone of voice.

"…Well I think you have the rest of the story,"

"Kinda…" Luke turned to the window, seeing the sun had gone, only showing the night behind it. Glaceon stood up for once, looking at Luke.

"You should probably get some rest," Glaceon suggested.

"I would…" Luxray started, "…But I just woke up about fifteen minutes ago. So…"

"Not my problem." Glaceon jumped from the chair and walked off from his room, leaving Luxray alone.

"…Heh, ass."

I got a new goal on this story. Bear with me: Finish this story before I graduate.
It's been a good run, but some things do have to end... But in the meantime, there's still much to show you guys.
