I tilted my head to one side, she must have saw that as an Eevees way of saying "Who are you? "then Edith looked down at the floor and ran off. I wanted to call her but the words stayed glued to my mouth, after all it would come out as Eevee language. Starley was puzzled but still kept cuddling me as I sighed, I missed the chance to talk to Edith and I felt really bad for it, there was nothing I could do at the moment though.

The next day, I was awakened early in the morning by Serry, boy was he anxious about something because when I didn't get out of bed he pulled me by the mane and dropped me on the floor.

"Oi! What's your problem!" I shouted.

"Blake, Ive been trying to wake you up for five minutes! There is a large group of Pokémon who are inspired by what you did yesterday with those Team Rocket goons. A lot of them wanna meet you and learn how to fight back against humans who try to encase them in their white and red orbs" Serry explained.

"Are you joking?" I asked, hoping he wasn't serious about asking me, an eight-year-old, to explain how to fight back against humans.

"I'm not a liar, never have been" Serry replied.

I gulped and looked out the window, there were a lot of Pokémon outside chattering, some had high pitched voices, the large ones like the Dragonite, I saw had deep voices. There were a lot of Pokémon which made me feel weak, I saw a Chicorita, about eleven other Eevees, one of them a shiny like Starley, six Growlithes and their parent Arcanine, a Houndoom, two Pikachu, an Empoleon, a Tepig, three Oshawatt, one Snivy, a Fenneckin, two Chespin, four Dragonite, a Remoraid, a Togekiss, a Jigglypuff, four Dottler, a Scorbunny and Raboot and what appeared to be its mother a Cinderace, a Staraptor, Fletchender, a shiny Flareon, a Lopunny, a Diggersby, three Onix, three Greedent, seven Rattata, four Seviper, a pair of Frilish, a Tenticruel, a Piplup wearing a black bandana, a Litten, three Bulbasaur, a two Zorua and two Zoroark, a Chewtle, a Sobble and an Inteleon, a Greninja and it's apparent children, a medium sized flock of Pidgey, Pidgeot, and Pidgeotto, a Ninetales and its four kits, and a group of Charizard and Charmander. That wasn't even all of them, there were so many more Pokémon too! I looked back at Serry, he could tell I was terrified.

"What the - uh - ugh - uh - wha? Whe? Eh - Ga - huh... Serry! Why won't you get them away from me?!" I asked.

 "Because they grabbed a whole bunch of human children away from their parents" Serry replied.

I froze, I couldn't believe Team Rocket was that far out of their tree, they were kidnapping children like me and turning them into to Pokémon, I didn't know what came next, but I knew it wasn't something good. And it got worse...

"That girl who comes by, Edith, I think she might have been one of them" Serry added.

"A-Are you sure?!" I asked.

"I have proof" Serry replied, the Umbreon picked up a piece of paper on the floor and slid to me. It was definitely Edith's hand writing all it said was...

Help

I started shaking, I knew it was from fear, fear that hit me like a truck. But deep down I felt anger, like I needed to do something about what they were doing... And at that moment decided I would.

"Is that the the reason they're here!?" I asked.

"It would appear so" Serry asked.

"Oh my - since when did they all get this idea that I should lead them!?" I asked still in shocked.

Serry sighs, and sits down, "A similar incident occurred years ago, an Arcanine saw a young child crawl into a strange object -"
