Well, I don't have much to say here, so, like with the last two, enjoy!

Chapter 3: A Rare Gem

Bronze's POV

I felt anger rising, my fur buzzing with electricity. I leaped out of the bush and towards the Glameow's. Everything in my life was a disaster, and this was the last straw for me. All that time, I had been such a coward, never standing up for myself. Well, guess what, life? It's over!

Zini and Ziri weren't expecting me to leap straight at them, and I hit them with my strongest Thunderbolt I had conjured up in my life. They got knocked out really easily. Too easily, I presume.

Soon, I heard an all too familiar voice, saying, "Bronze! You just knocked out two Outlaws!"

I sighed and muttered, "But it came with the cost of losing Ember..."

"So, what about her?" The voice asked.

"Just leave me alone, Jolt!" I snapped.

"Whoa, whoa, Bronze. No need to get all angry on me." Jolt replied, "After, we're best buddies, right?"

"More like best enemies, friend." I spat the last word with disgust. Jolt was the only Eevee in Treasure Beach, and because of that, he was spoiled, and rotten. He picks on whoever he wants, and gets whatever he wants.

"Well, let's take these two back. You coming?" I knew of his little plan. He would have me come with him, and blame on me that I had helped them do their things, and I would get punished for it while he basks in all the glory.

Even with any attempt that the Magnezone and Magnemite's try to arrest me or whatever, he wouldn't allow it so I would just be in the dark, being jealous of everyone else. He does this to all his friends, or those who consider him a friend. I learned that the hard way. I guess you can call him a jerk.

"No, it's okay." I shook my head.

"Alright, whatever you say." He started to drag the two by their tails.

As soon as he left, I started to walk back to where I lived, Sharpedo Bluff. That night, I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about I could've saved her.

Oh, and to prevent any confusion, Ember was still unconscious when it was night. She only woke up the next day, where we shall find our next female protagonist. And no, it's not Leaf since we already met her, for all those thinking that.

Third Person POV

While everyone was sleeping, a mysterious Pokémon was washed up ashore. Bronze woke up in the afternoon, sleepy after using so much energy. He decided to visit the Wigglytuff Guild

"Alright, you can do this, Bronze! You can do this, for Ember!" He was about to step on the grate when he froze. "...I can't do this. Turns out I'm just an old chicken who needs someone else to do all the work for me. And it was because of me that we never joined the guild in the first place."

"And here I thought my personal treasure would've helped me." He took out a necklace that was hidden thanks to his fur. He stared at it. "I promised Ember that we would discover the secret of my Relic Fragment together. Look at me now, I'm just all by myself." He grabbed the necklace and hid it again, before walking away.

Before long after he left, two Pokémon came from out of the bushes.

"Hey, Zu, did you get a load of that?"

"You bet I did, Koff."

"That little chicken that was too scared to get on a little bitty grate. He had something good, didn't he?"

"He had something, that's for sure. It looked like some kind of treasure."

"Should we go after it?"

"Of course we do, what kind of question is that!"

"S-Sorry." And the two Pokémon followed Bronze to the beach.

"Wow...It's so beautiful. Ember and I used to come here a lot...Where are you, Ember?" A squeak came from Bronze's left, so, kind of obviously, he turned around to check it out.

He noticed a brown fuzzy shape, and, as it turns out, it was an Eevee. "S-Someone's collapsed in the sand!" He ran over to the mysterious Eevee. "H-Hey, are you okay?"

"Nngh." The Eevee opened her eyes. As soon as Bronze looked straight into her eyes, he blushed a little.

"U-Uh, w-what's your name?" Bronze asked the strange Eevee. Awkwardly, you could add.

"...Emerald." She whispered. Since Pikachu have long, sensitive ears, he heard what she said.

"My name's Bronze." It took about a minute of silence or so until Emerald freaked out.

"You're a talking Pikachu! Pikachu's aren't supposed to talk!" Bronze felt kind of offended by her remark.

"Yeah? You're an Eevee, and you talk." Bronze replied to her.

"No I'm not, I'm a human!"
