Super Faith

Chapter 13

Amethyst, Shade and Krystal were on their way to meet up with Phoenix and Fauxe. When they made it to the tree their flock lived in, they mentioned about Lightning's request to send a message to her family.

"Will do" Phoenix the Fletchinder told them.

"Thank you, Phoenix, but be careful! There are Shadow Pokémon out on the lose. They might attack you if you are not aware of your surroundings." Shade replied.

"I'll travel with you in case" his big brother Fauxe the Talonflame told him.

Phoenix nodded in agreement before they both flew off.

Once they became just about a blur in the sky, the three Eeveelutions then headed back to the village but they only made a few steps before they heard an explosion.

They gasped in surprise. "That sounded like it came from Eeveeville!" Shade cried in alarm.

"We got to hurry and get back there! I hope everyone is okay." Krystal replied.

"W-what do we do?!" Luigi stammered, eyes open wide in fear as he looked at the Shadow Pokémon heading towards them.

"We got to stay calm and think of something fast or they will have the drop on us" Mario responded.

"The only thing we can do is fight, I'm afraid." Lightning told them.

"You mean you expect us to fight those things?!" Luigi questioned.

"Come on Weeg, we fought plenty of different enemies before. Including the most dangerous ones." Mario answered.

"Like what?"

Mario sighed and put a paw to his forehead in slight annoyance. "Antasma, Cackletta, Fawful, Dark Bowser. Literal Dark Matter! Dimentio. Don't tell me you don't remember that..."

"Oh... Right... My bad" Luigi shrugged. "But my point still stands. We have not defeated Pokemon like that. They could be far stronger than them. And can we please not talk about Dimentio..."

"Sorry bro... I guess you're right about that but we don't really have a choice either."

"Guys... I know you want to talk but we have an even bigger problem here. They are getting ready to attack! And they look menacing!" Lightning warned.

Faith stepped in. "I know how to handle these creatures. You can too with proper training. But for now I will stick by your side and help you out in this battle."

"We appreciate that a lot, Faith. Grazie!" Mario told her.

"I'm not to sure what grazie means but no problem." Faith replied.

"It means thanks in Italian" Mario explained.

"Hmm... Alright then. Anyways, we need to focus on the important task of defeating these monsters."

"Got it!" Mario nodded.

The Shadow Butterfree was the first one to make a move. She used Sleep Powder. A lot of the Eevees and Eeveelutions who noticed the attack instantly retreated into their dens, not wanting to get into the fight. Lightning knew what the move did and had to warn her friends.

"Mario, Luigi, don't let that powder hit you. It will make you instantly fall asleep!" Lightning warned.

After hearing what Lightning told them, they focused on dodging the sleep powder attack, managing to not get exposed by it.

Mario took out his Fire Stone while Luigi took out his Thunderstone and they both evolved into Flareon and Jolteon. "Let's a go!" They both said in unison.
