Rigorous Relationships

Confessions and Chaos P2

-------------------------------------------------------
When we last left our heroes Cal, Ash and Pikachu were being confronted by an ominous cloaked figure while Dena and Serena raced to find them in the thick woods.
------------------------------------------------------

"Gah! What is that thing!"

Upon being referred to as 'that thing' the cloaked creature turned towards Cal and began to cry. Its reaction to his words caught Cal by surprise and he immediately felt guilty.

"Hey I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, you just startled us that's all. Why don't we start over; my names Cal, the unconscious one over there is my friend Ash and that Pikachu is his partner."

The creature gains control over its emotions and lowers its hood to properly greet them. Without the cloth obstructing its features Cal is able to recognize the creature as a Pokémon.

"Duskull." The ghost type stated gaily.

Managing to reach his Pokedéx Cal scans this passionate Pokémon to gain a better understanding of what he's dealing with.

"Duskull, the Requiem Pokémon. It is said that Duskull wander lost among the deep darkness of midnight. There is an oft-told admonishment given to misbehaving children that this Pokémon will spirit away bad children who earn scoldings from their mothers"

"You don't really take away bad children; do you?" Cal asked with a hint of worry.

The ghost type quickly shook its hands and head signifying a definitive no.

"Phew, that's a relief. Anyway do you think you could help us out; we've gotten ourselves into a bit of a situation and none of us can exactly move right now."

"Duskull dusk!" Duskull responded before disappearing back into the bush.

"I really hope that was a yes."

"Pika." The electric type agreed.

It didn't take long for them to realize it had been a yes. Duskull reemerged from the bush once more; this time however it was not alone. A small fox like Pokémon with a tuff of white fur around its neck appeared next to the ghost type who was cheerily talking to it.

"Dexter who's that Pokémon?"

"Eevee, The Evolution Pokémon. Eevee is a unique Pokémon that can adapt to its environment by changing its form and abilities when evolving."

This Eevee looked at the group with indifference and returned its gaze back towards its friend. The two became engaged in a rather heated conversation that Cal could only speculate about. With a disapproving sigh Eevee conceded the argument and advanced towards the group.

"Does this mean you're going to help us?" Cal asked nervously.

"Eevee," the Pokémon said before standing directly in front of Cal and using one of its moves, "Veeee!"

Cal heard a barely audible but overwhelmingly peaceful ringing noise emanate from the depths of the wild Eevee. After a moment the ringing ceased and Eevee returned to its companions side. Confused as to what the Pokémon had done, Cal instinctively lifted his hand to beckon it back, only to realize that he could move again. Turning to his companions he noted that Pikachu was up and moving, while Ash was being to wake up.
