((This is a oneshot for school that I wrote following the journey of an epic hero. I need to give a special thanks to xGarrus and Pokemonfan472 for listening to my ideas and rants about this. I also need to thank regaliapetals for letting me use her character Leimomi and Foxman237 for letting me use his character Edmund. Also, I know the from battle scene to the end isn't the best. It was 1am and I was tired. My next focus after this will be Blood and Ink. I hope y'all enjoy this! Peace!))

The moon was bright, the Venonat and Spinarak were skittering around, and the Noctowl were cooing. Many Pokemon were resting, while some were just waking up. That, however, wasn't the case for a certain Espeon.
This Espeon had been up since the moment Dawn had shown her face. He had been searching for the thing that his friend wanted him to find. He didn't succeed, it just left him stranded near a river.
Sitting near the bank, he stared at his reflection. "What is this he wants me to find…?" he muttered quietly under his breath. "It can't be that hard to find, right?"
An object slowly surfaced from underneath the river. The shine caught the Espeon's attention, as he slowly rose to his paws.
He slowly started to trot down the river bed, stopping once he got to the object. He bent down on his haunches, swatting at the stone-like item. After a bit, he was successful in getting it close to him. Slowly, he grabbed the stone with his maw, retreating towards the open field.
Dropping the item, he took a closer look at it. It was an orangish-yellow stone with a flame in the middle of it. The cat-like Pokemon stared at the stone.
"Why would he need a firestone…?" he murmured, shifting his gaze to the moon. "He's a Meganium, a firestone won't do him any good."
He picked the stone back up with his jaw, trotting back to his den. Upon arriving, a Meganium was waiting.
"Acacius, did you get it?" the Meganium spoke, looking down towards the smaller Pokemon.
Acacius nodded, putting the firestone on the ground. "Why did you need it anyway, Benton?" he asked, his tail lashing slightly.
The grass type let out a quiet huff. "I have my reasons, which you have no business knowing. You did your part, so I bid you a good day."
Benton walked out of the den, after grabbing the stone. Acacius simply watched him leave, letting out a sigh.
The psychic type lied in his bed of leaves and sticks, curling his tail around himself. He hummed out a content sound, closing his eyes.

Sunlight showed through the cracks of the den, signaling for Acacius to awaken. A low groan was emitted from the cat Pokemon.
He stood, yawning softly. Trotting out of the den, he stretched out his muscles, before entering the woods.
The Espeon let out a content sigh, humming slightly. He always loved walks in the woods; they gave him a feeling of peace and serenity.
A Ledian flew towards Acacius, a smug look on her face. He simply looked at her, his tail lashing slightly.
