Everyone has a dark side and a light,
it's which side you choose to show that makes who you are.

With a look of fascination clear in my eyes, I stared at the new Pokémon standing before me. "Jemima?" I whispered her name to test the word coming from my own lips. She perked up, giving me a look of interest.

I looked over at Shiver. "Are you sure I didn't know Thomas at all?"

Shiver hesitated, but nodded nonetheless. ~Ce...~

"Then how did I know you?" I frowned, brushing my fingertips lightly over the three scars. "I'm sure I did."

Shiver and the new Pokémon shared an awkward look between one another, but said nothing, making me let out a short breath in disappointment. Something wasn't adding up. How did I help Jemima? How did she end up here with a group of people I wasn't meant to know? It may just be a coincidence, but then again, a lot of things have been lately. It didn't make sense.

Thomas walked it, disrupting my thoughts. "There you are Mima, how'd you get in here?"

She gave a short snort in reply, tossing out her pink spiked mane as she did so.

The raven haired trainer shook his head and looked at me with a smile."You should feel special. Jemima doesn't approach just anyone."

I swallowed hard. "If you don't mind me asking, how did Jemima get here? Is she one of your Pokémon?"

Thomas raised an eyebrow. "No, none of ours. She just turned up one day, a couple months ago," he explained. "She's wild, but she refuses to leave or let anyone catch her. She just sorta comes and goes as she pleases."

"What about those scars?" I asked pointing to the three along her flank. Thomas shrugged.

"Had them when she got here," he answered. "Though it is quite strange that she lives around here."

"Why?"

"Girafarig aren't native to Kalos. They're rare, well, shy Pokémon are rare in general." He frowned slightly at the Pokémon who ignored him completely. "The day she turned up, she acted like she was looking for something and follows at least one of us around. Amy thinks she may have something to do with Alice, but since none of us understand Pokémon, I guess we'll never know."

"I guess that is strange." My own reply was barely noticed by me as I tried to make sense of it all. Things defiantly weren't adding up now.

A black fox, one that shared many similarities in build to Shiver, jumped onto the bed with no announcement. This took me by surprise, but I did well to suppress the feeling. The new Pokémon looked more interested in Shiver then it did me, giving me a sideways glance with his crimson red eyes before focusing on my Glaceon. Its slick black fur shone under the light, giving a smooth looking texture. There were yellow rings on its legs, tail, head, and ears had a slight illumination to them from what seemed to be their own source of light. The body shape was the same as Shiver's. However, unlike Shiver's diamond like ears, this Pokémon had more slightly rounder, cylindrical ones that ended with a point with a tail of the same form.

~Umbreon?~ It cried cheerfully, wagging its tail at Shiver whom simply looked the other way with a bored expression.

"This is my Umbreon, Dusk." Thomas gestured to the fox. "He's been with me for a while now."

~Umbre.~ Dusk nodded his greeting to me.

"Hi," I said shyly, sticking my hand out for him to sniff like I had with Jemima. He didn't even sniff it before he flicked his head away and looked at Shiver suspiciously.
