Lost

Chapter 15

-4:35pm: Eeveelution Base Camp-

I stretched and walked outside my room, I was surprisingly not greeted by Rose nor Jake.

I walked to the kitchen, everyone was gathered there, I scanned the area. Where's Jake?

"I think it's better to take the safest path. I mean, the other path seems to difficult." Rose's soft voice emerged from the crowd.

"I know, but we'd get there faster. They might help us." Shadow's dark voice replied.

"I know. But what about the kiddos?" Rose whimpered.

Shadow looked at Rose with soft eyes, "I know you're worried, but Eevee's leg has healed like Genevieve had predicted."

Rose looked up at him, "Okay. At long as we get there." She replied.

Grace's sassy voice cut their conversation, "Well, certainly we've already wasted enough time here it seems. We should get going soon before..."

"Oh surely it's not that bad sis! You've been there before right?" Jess's raspy voice interrupted.

"Yes but....ugh! Can anyone explain this to Jess? It seems her simple minded brain doesn't get the picture." Grace narrowed her eyes at Jess.

"Okay Jess, well the mountain might be easy for your sister Grace, but for others...like Genevieve for example..it might be very difficult." Matt purred.

"I didn't mean literally Matt, sometimes you can be just as absentminded as my sister." Grace rolled her eyes.

"Oh..." Matt replied, sounding embarrassed.

"It's okay Matt, not everyone has a little brain." Rose snickered.

"HUSH IT!" Matt yelled, his yellow pelt glowing as the grass around him turned black.

"Don't talk to her like that!" Shadow growled stepping towards Flare.

"Shadow.." Isabelle groaned.

"Well...how's about I just take you guys there, like the way I got here except backwards." Teddiursa sighed, I could tell he seemed to feel awkward around the others.

"Yes, please everyone, let's just go with Teddiursa's plan. We'll leave at dawn tomorrow." Genevieve suggested.

"No. We leave today. Everyone pack your things." Shadow interrupted, he paused before continuing.

"Yes, Shadow." Genevieve bowed her head in respect before walking away.

Everyone turned to go back to their places, but paused when they saw me there.

"Eevee! What are you doing awake so early?" Rose purred stepping towards me.

"Actually it's past noon Rose." Isabelle corrected her.

"Whatever..did you just here or...." Rose trailed off.

"Actually I heard your whole conversation. So, where are we going Rose?" I smiled.

"You'll see tomorrow. Because....it's a surprise!" Rose chirped as she picked me up with her ribbons before running towards my room.

"But.." I stuttered.

"No buts!" Rose interrupted before putting me down at my room's door.

"Well, you can take care you yourself, so I have to go." Rose backed away, a smile still on her face. Something's wrong, Rose wouldn't act like this..

"Rose. Where are you going?" I called after her.

"Not important, just...go into your room for now." Rose called back, her voice sounded irritated as she backed even further away.

But before I could say anything else. She disappeared. 

----------------------------

I woke up beside Angel, I nudged her with my paw.

"Angel?" I called, but no response.

"Angel!" I shook her with my paw; she stirred.

"Ugh...Pi.." But before she could say another word I silenced her.

"Sh. Angel you need to rest, I'll be right back." I said. It took me awhile to get up, but finally I did.

I walked for awhile, I don't why, I didn't even know where I was going until I spotted it.

The grass, the ground, was covered in ashes.

I sniffed the air, nothing.

As I proceeded to walk further into the area, I realized it was a village.

My eyes widened in horror as I looked at the dark bodies of some poke'mon around me.

Teddiursas.....No, it can't be.

I walked around until I saw a small brown bag on the ground, it looked like a patch of snow in spring; there was no ashes or anything of the sort on the bag.

As if someone placed it there. On purpose.

I walked towards the bag, hesitant, I managed to open the bag.

There was one chocolate and one vanilla poke'puff in the bag.

 I sniffed the bag, trying to ignore the scent of the desserts.

My ears perked up as I recognized the bag, I've seen this before I think.

Then it comes to me.

Her bag.

I pick up the bag before hearing a devilish laugh.

I turned to see a shadowy figure on top of a rock.

"Jake."

"Pikachu."
