  A few weeks later, Pearl and Platinum had their anniversary. Every pokemon from the Light Kingdom gathered there to celebrate. Suddenly, a bunch of Arcanine came in. 

 " King Platinum and Queen Pearl, I, Flamethrower, representative from the Fire Kingdom, wish you a happy anniversary. " The Arcanine named Flamethrower said.

 " Thank you. " Pearl replied with a smile.

 The Arcanines ate some food that were served there. 

 " Commander Flamethrower, is the plan completely set yet? " One of the Arcanines asked.

 " I received a report from Blaze the Houndoom just now. The bombs are already placed. It's time that we crash this party! " Flamethrower declared.

  The Arcanines looked at King Platinum and Queen Pearl who were eating cake with Dusk.

 " Your majesties, we had fun and wish you a happy anniversary once again. " Flamethrower said. The king and queen smiled.

 He looked at a Houndoom on the rooftop. The Houndoom nodded. She got off the roof and ran away from the castle, probably to avoid the explosions.

 " ATTACK! " Flamethrower commanded. All  the Arcanines stopped eating and formed a few lines, ready to attack.

 " What is the meaning of this!? " King Platinum asked, growling.

 " Oh I'm sorry to say but, we are the Arcanine clan.  We came here to claim your kingdom! Now surrender immediately! " Flamethrower growled.

 " Dad....what's going on-- " Just before  he would say anything else, a bomb exploded. Dusk's eyes widened in shock.

 " D-Dad??? " Dusk asked.

 " Son! We're being attacked! You have to run!!! " Platinum demanded.

 " B-but what about- " Dusk said but was cut off.

 " Don't worry about us. Run! " Pearl said.

  Another bomb exploded. A tower started to crumble. 

 " WE LOVE YOU!!! " Those were their last words before they were crushed by the tower.

 Tears started streaming down Dusk's cheeks as he ran, the last words of his parents still in memory.

 " Yes! We have taken over the kingdom! Now you're our subjects now and you have to listen to us from now on!!! " Flamethrower commanded. The other Arcanines cheered in unison.

 Dusk ran and ran. He stopped to see a forest and decided to hide there. He breathed heavily, worried about what happened to his parents now.

 He heard a rustling sound in a bush and shivered. An eevee came out, holding a knife.

 " Tsk... Its just princy boy again. " She said and rolled her eyes.

 " Eevee? " Dusk asked.

 " The name's Shine, twerp. " Shine said.

 " Please, do you know what happened in the war? " Dusk asked worriedly.

 " How should I know? This is not the kingdom, isn't it? " She said as she glared at the prince.

 " Oh, I see. " Tears started streaming down his cheeks once more.

 " Gee, for a prince you really are a crybaby. " She said.

 " Hey! My parents are there! What if something happened to them!? " Dusk growled and more tears streamed down.

 " Well, I was abandoned by my parents so why should I care!? " Shine shot back.

  " It is true, you don't have any parents. " Dusk said and placed his paw on the shiny eevee's shoulder.

 " What are you doing? " Shine said as she glared at the prince.

 " Its okay... " Dusk said, comforting Shine.

 " Hey!! Don't go softy on me, got it!? " Shine growled, holding her knife once more.

 " So, what are you doing here, Shine? " Dusk asked.

 " Why should I tell a little twerp  like you!? " Shine growled.

 " I just wanted to know why you're acting like a serial killer and a thief. Please tell me why... " Dusk pleaded, using his baby-doll eyes.

 " Tsk... I don't trust you. " Shine said.

 " Then, I shall make you trust me! " Dusk said willingly.

 Shine giggled. " And how are you supposed to do that!? " She said as she smirked.

 " I should follow you! " Dusk replied with a smile.

 " Oh princy boy- "

 " The name's Dusk. " Dusk interrupted.

 " Dusk, the world is a dangerous place. I'm going to go dragon hunting if you don't mind. " Shine said then she walked off.

 " Please? " Dusk begged.

 " Are you sure? " Shine asked.

 " Yes. " Dusk replied.

 " Okay then. It's your funeral. " Shine said then rolled her eyes.

 Dusk followed Shine to go dragon hunting. He wondered what dragons taste like. Sweet, sour, tasty, he will soon find out.
