Moon's POV:

"Branch, do we have to move here? What if nobody likes me? What if I can't find any friends? What if-" I began, listing off my worries.

"Moon, you don't need to worry about anything till we actually get there. You don't even know what it looks like for Arceus' sake!" Branch said, cutting me off.

He shook his head and turned to face me. "Moon" he said taking my paws in his "you're going to be fine. There is nothing you need to worry about. I will make sure nothing happens to you. I will protect you. Understand?"

"Yes." I said nodding.

Branch put my paws down and gave me a hug. "Good. Love you sis." He said.

"Love you too." I replied.

"Aww! Hug time!" Cupcake said wrapping her arms and all her ribbons around me and Branch.

"Cupcake." I wheezed, trying to breathe "let go....need....air..."

"Oh, sorry." She quickly let go and stepped back.

With a gasp I laid down on the ground, panting. Slowly getting to my feet I began following my siblings again down the dirt path that lead to Sunspire Town. I didn't know much about the place other than it was famous for its Sunspire-which the town was named after-and it's beautiful beaches. It was apparently a popular place for vacations.

Even after Branch had tried comforting me, I was still worried about our new life in Sunspire.

"How much longer?" Cupcake asked Branch.

"When the sun starts to set, we should be in town. It's not much further." Branch pointed towards the sun, which had already begun it's decent towards the horizon.

I smiled to myself. I loved night. I was my favorite time of....day doesn't sound quite right. It was my favorite time of...night? Sure we'll go with that. That's why I chose to evolve into an Umbreon. Night suits me better. I loved the stars and the moon I was named after. They brought me a sense of peace when I gazed upon them.

7:00 PM

"Woah! This place is so pretty!" Cupcake said as soon as we entered Sunspire.

"It is very nice, isn't it?" Branch said, looking around.

I was in awe of how wonderful Sunspire was. The stars cast a beautiful background for the town. Adding to the beauty were various lights, all different colors, that were strung from one market stall to the next, adding an extra cheery atmosphere to the square. All the buildings beyond the market stalls and stores were carved from stone and we're made of different colors and types. The roofs were beautifully made and the doors were varying shapes, sizes, and wood types. The sound of waves hitting the shore could be heard, however faint. All kinds of pokemon populated the town, but I noticed that water types were the most common mon I saw. It made sense due to the ocean being so close. Once we got to the center of town, also known as Spire Square, I couldn't help but run across it out of joy. Looking at Spire Fountain I-

"Ouch." I said, rubbing my head.

"Ahh! Oh no. I'm so sorry!" The pokemon I ran into said.

"Oh, you're fine. I'm the one who should be sorry. That's my fault. I was just really excited..." I began explaining, until I saw the mon's face. It was a Vaporeon.

"Is something wrong?" He asked.

"N-no. I just, uh...I should get going is all."

I quickly sprinted away, trying not to look behind me. It was a Vaporeon. A Vaporeon! I couldn't believe my eyes! I was somewhat aware of Branch yelling behind me, but I didn't care. I had to go somewhere, anywhere other than the square. I eventually found a stream and decided to follow it, hoping it would lead me to the ocean.
