Super Faith

Chapter 12

Meanwhile at Eeveeville, Lightning was catching up with her friends, Amethyst the Espeon, her mate Shade the Umbreon and his sister Krystal the Glaceon. Mario and Luigi were safely and not too far away in front of her where she could easily keep watch on them. The brothers were walking around the village, curiously looking around where they haven't been before. Lightning and her Eeveelution friends made sure they were with them at all times and didn't wander off too far.

She knew the three Eeveelutions from adventures long before she joined the Starter Squad. Now they lived as residents in Eeveeville for a few years. They were quickly welcomed into the village by Faith, who easily sensed they were not a threat to their home. Deep in their hearts, they really did miss Lightning and her own village so seeing her again made them happy. "So... Lightning, how is the Pikachu Village going ever since that crazed Infernape enemy died and you joined the Squad?" Krystal asked.

"Oh... We're doing great. Now that the village feels more safe but we still have that Blaziken and his comrades to deal with. Ever since that attack on Arceus from Arson, the other deranged Infernape in a black cloak and his other companions, he managed to escape the Starter Squad after the fight but they haven't tried anything else sense those years ago. I'm unsure if they just gave up or they are planning to strike when we least expect it." Lightning explained.

"I hope they don't and they just gave up." Shade replied.

I hope so too but after nearly taking down the Alpha of all Pokémon? Our God of this world! I don't think they would ever think of just giving up. I wish we knew where they were now but without any clue or any sighting of them for years, it's like they disappeared without a trace." Lightning said.

Mario overheard the conversation and decided to intervene then. "Knowing villains especially my nemesis, Bowser, and Luigi's nemesis, King Boo, I don't think they would just give up like that. If they pulled off a huge scheme, they are bound to be thinking of another one. I don't know when and where exactly they will strike again but it can take years before they think of doing something else."

Luigi nodded. "King Boo was actually put in a painting himself the first time he was captured then the Professor made the mistake to sell his portrait in a garage sale. Hellen could have seen King Boo's painting, easily bought it and managed to get him out of the painting and that's when he later knew about the Dark Moon in Evershade Valley and blasted it out of the sky so he could take control of the ghosts there."

"Atleast King Boo didn't know that you had a house of your own or who knows what would've happened if he did or if you were in Toad Town with me," Mario replied to Luigi.

"Yeah... Good thing!"

She then remembered something and gasped. "Speaking of my village, I don't think I told them where I went! They must be worried sick!"

"Well you can't leave your friends behind so you can go home and tell them now. What if something happened. You know about King Boo far more than we do," Amethyst replied.

"I know. I wouldn't dream of leaving them here when they need me most." Lightning told her.

"Maybe we can tell Phoenix and Fauxe to send a message to them. They live with their flock in a tree here. Eeveeville are good friends with the Fletchling and their evolutions because of their cousin, Spitfire. We'll take care of that for you!" Amethyst offered.

"Thank you so much Amethyst! I appreciate it if you did that for me!" Lightning smiled. She waved goodbye to her three Eeveelution friends and moved on with the brothers.

"Your friends are very nice, Lightning" Luigi told her.

"They are. You both remind me of them too. You're kind, protective over your friends and family, helpful, and adventurous." Lightning replied.
