True Potential

Chapter 1 ~...Mommy? Daddy?...What's Wrong?

~Blake's POV~

I ran outside with my daddy's Growlithe and my mother's shiny Eevee. We would alway's play hide and seek and pick berries in the forest behind my home, right now I was grooming Eevee, making her white fur as clean as possible. My mommy doesn't like when Eevee's dirty so I groom her every time we play outside. My mommy said that her friend is visiting with her son, she said he was about my age. So she asked if I kept me and the pokemon clean, which might not happen. As I was running to the front door of the my house, I saw a woman and a boy walking towards my house. I quickly ran back to the backyard not trying to be noticed by the two citizens. I heard the two small pokemon running to me, hearing their pawsteps in the green grass.

I quickly waited for the two pokemon to run into the backyard, I  closed the gate door and locked it, I turned to the small pokemon, smiling. I knelt down, Eevee jumped onto my shoulder while I was picking up Growlithe. Eevee then moved to my head, I yelped when Eevee tugged on my hair a little. "..vee" Eevee said in a sad tone, "..it's okay Eevee, you didn't mean too right?" I replied petting the pokemon's head. "Blake! time to come inside!" my mommy yelled, I ran up the stairs where mommy was, I was still carrying Eevee and Growlithe. "C'mon the guest are already here, but first I want to give you something" mommy knelt down to my size, she took off the necklace she had on and put the necklace around my neck. I looked at the red gem shine in the sunlight, I smiled. She also gave me two Pokeballs, I looked at mommy. "These are Eevee and Growlithe's Pokeballs, I want you to keep them.....keep Eevee and Growlithe safe..." Mommy said, she sounded sad when she said that.Daddy came to us, looking sad like mommy. Mommy got up and walked by inside the home, with daddy following. I stood there for a while, but I soon went inside the home.

Mommy?Daddy?

What's Wrong?

I went inside the house to see a women, and a boy next to her. His eyes were red and his hair was black like the women. "Blake meet Johanna, and her son, Red." Mommy said looking at me, then turning to Johanna and Red. I looked at Red, He looked back. By the looks of Red I can tell we'll be great friends. I waved at Red, he waved back. "Well why don't we continue the conversation outside?" Mommy asked. Everyone except me and Red nodded and we all walked out to the backyard. The adults sat on the three wooden chairs, Me and Red played around in the backyard with Eevee and Growlithe. I saw mommy and daddy both get out of their chairs and walked inside, with a sad, emotionless look on their faces.

What's Wrong?

Is it me?

~Johanna's POV~

Man, those two have been gone for a while now, I should check up on them but I don't want to leave the kids here alone. Then again there protected by well-trained pokemon and Blake has both Growlithe and Eevee's pokeballs, yeah I'll go. I got up from my chair, " Red! Blake! I'm going to go check on your parents Blake! you can stay here or you can come along!" I yelled out. The two looked at each other, then they both nodded and ran up to the porch, with the pokemon following. I smiled at all of them, saving the small memories so I can look back at them then they're all grown up. I shook off the thought and continued into the house.

The house was quiet, and the lights were turned off, I had a sudden feeling deep in my stomach, like something had just happened. I pushed aside the negative thought and continued to look throught the house. I turned to Blake, she was just as confused as I and Red. Blake turned to me, with a mix of confusion and fear, "J-Johanna? can I-I go to my room t-to get something" Blake asked barely above a whisper, I nodded. Blake motioned Eevee and Growlithe upstairs with her, I picked up Red and sat down on the couch.

After a small while I heard a thump, I sat Red on the couch. "Red, Stay here" I asked Red, he nodded. I quickly went upstairs, I saw Blake, Growlithe, and Eevee, all staring at something. I walked closer, I could see it more clear now, way to clear,
