Nathan's POV:

The bell rang and everyone left the room. I was still holding Eevee in my arms. I couldn't believe I put Eevee through that. I should have been the one who fought Dark Pit not Eevee. I started to cry softly. Jacob came towards me and put his hand on my shoulder. I turned my head away from him so he couldn't see me crying.

Jacob: "I'm really sorry about Eevee." I sniffed. "Don't worry, he will heal up soon. Anyways I've got to get to my next class. See you later Nate."

I watched as Jacob walked away. I knew he was right and that Eevee would heal soon but I still felt bad About what had happened. I started walking towards my next class.

???: "Hey, Nathan," a familiar voice said behind me. I turned around and saw Ash running towards me. He caught up to me and we started walking together. "I heard what happened to Eevee."

Me: "Did Jacob tell you?"

Ash: "Yes. He told me when we walked past each other. I'm very sorry."

Me: "Don't be, it's my fault. I was expecting him to... He wasn't... I couldn't..." I couldn't think of anything to say.

Ash: "Ya know, a lot of people start out the same as you. They expect their Pokémon to do amazing things right off the bat." He must have seen I was upset because he stopped talking. "So, what's your next class," he said changing the subject. I pulled my schedule out of my pocket and handed it to him. He took it and read through it. "Cool, your next class is the same as mine. Come on let's go."

Ash ran towards our next class. I followed him trying to stay closely behind him. We soon arrived at our next class. Ash sat in a seat and I sat down next to him. I set Eevee on my desk. He was curled up in a ball breathing slowly but just enough that I could hear him. I was so concentrated on Eevee that I didn't notice our teacher step in front of me. He put his hand on Eevee and that's when I noticed him. I looked up and saw that it was Professor Oak.

Oak: "Your Eevee must have been in a bad fight." I nodded silently. "Don't worry, I can heal her right up if you want me to."

Me: I looked up at him. "Her?"

Oak: "Yes, her. Can't you tell the difference between a male Pokémon and a female Pokémon?"

Me: "I guess not."

Some of the students let out a giggle. Professor Oak took Eevee to a healing device, healed her, and put her back on my desk. Eevee stretched and let out a yawn. I petted her.

Oak: "Take good care of her now."

Me: "I will."

Class ended quicker than I thought it would. When we were excused, everyone headed out the door, except me. Knowing Professor Oak and his knowledge on Pokémon, I believed that he could tell me some more about Pokémon. I picked up Eevee and walked up to him.

Me: "Excuse me? Professor Oak?"

Oak: "Yes, Nathan?"

Me: "Could you possibly teach me more about Pokémon? I don't want what happened to Eevee to happen another time."

Oak: "I'd be glad to. I won't be able to teach you today but I can teach you tomorrow in the morning."

Me: "Sounds great. I'll see you tomorrow then." I headed to the door.

Oak: "Nathan." I turned around. "If you want you can train with this Jigglypuff." Oak tossed a pokéball at me and I caught it.

Me: "Thanks," I said as I walked out the door. I set Eevee down. She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back. "Don't worry, Eevee. I won't put you in any more danger. I promise." I knelt down and petted her. I could tell she was better now. I got up and we both walked to my next class.
