"Wakey wakey."

If Miracle doesn't stop speaking to me like I'm a child...

I groan to get her to stop and surprisingly, it works.

"Hey! She's not dead!" Miracle proclaims happily, "That means Gladion was wrong! Give me your money."

I hear Gladion sigh and mumble some things under his breath.

"Hey! Don't walk away! You owe me! Gladion!!! Get here with my money!!"

Oh, kids.

I slowly open my eyes and find that I'm no longer stuck in that dark forest.

Back in Iki Town, I guess.

Or, more specifically Miracle's house.

"So you finally woke up?"

It's Nightshade.

She has her body curled up around Leafeon, who isn't dead....somehow.

She sighs, "There's nothing wrong with you, is there?"

What in the world does that mean?

"No. I don't think so."

She walks over to me and touches my eye, "What do you think you are doing?"

"There's a scar there. It makes you look badass!"

Or like I was in the war!
I'm gonna stop.

She pats my eye and walks over to a sleeping Leafeon.

"You should have seen her before she healed." She whispers, "All mangled and beat up, I couldn't even tell it was her at first."
 
Larry bursts in sporting a blue scarf and his Pichu friend.

Talk about ruining a moment.

"Pichu." Larry says slowly, "Fetch me my coat."

Pichu rolls her eyes and walks back outside much to Larry's dismay.

Nightshade smiles at him, "You know how you said you hated Larry?"

I roll my eyes, "He's annoying."

"He saved your life."

I scoff, "Sure he did."

"He did! You have to believe me! You have to!!"

She's squeezing my shoulders way too tight.

I lean away from her, "Get off of me."

She snaps back to her old self, "Right..."

She curls back up with Leafeon, "Hey! I just remembered something! I need some food! Go get it, slave! Ha! I'm joking!"

"It...wasn't funny."

"Like you know what humor is," She mumbles

We sit there in awkward silence, "I'm gonna....go talk to...Larry."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Larry is literally sitting on a pedestal like some kind of king while Pichu feeds him some grapes. 

Larry winks at me, "Hello, Isabelle. How are you? You good? How does it feel to not be dead?"

"I still have to see you so..."

He laughs, "Oh! Pichu! Isn't she funny!?"

Pichu gives him an annoyed look and crosses her arms.

He scoffs, "Fine. Be that way."

"Why do have that Pichu following you around?"

He glances at her, "Oh. She's in need of my wisdom."

I glance at her, "You're making a bad choice, kid."

She nods then shrugs and continues to feed Larry.

I look away awkwardly, "Yeah. Well, I'm gonna go..."

He waves, "Goodbye, Isa! Don't forget about my beauty, ok?"

"It'll be easy to forget."

I, of course, didn't say this to him.

I'm a chicken now.

I'm pathetic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because I have no friends, I head back to Nightshade.

It looks like Leafeon woke up and Nightshade won't give her space.

"How do you feel? Does anything hurt? Do you need anything? How about a kiss?"

"Wow, Nightshade! Smooth!" Snowball seems to be in a chipper mood.
For once.

She grabs Nightshade's tail and pulls her away from Leafeon, "What did I tell you about letting Pokémon heal?"

"They hurry up and get well soon!?"
"No!" Snowball tosses her outside and locks the door.

I'm sure leaving Nightshade's loved one with two grumpy/cold females will make her feel all warm inside!

But Nightshade is a crafty little Salazzle, as she did find a way in through the window.

She got stuck, though.
Good job.

"You having fun?" Snowball asks with a sly smile.

"No!" She yells struggling to get into the little house, "Let me in! I can help!"

"Nah. I got this. Bye." Snowball slams the window down.

Nightshade tries her hardest angry glare from outside.
That's cute.
She thinks she's scary

"Snowball, I don't think kicking out Nightshade was the best idea."

"It was. Charity can't work with Nightshade telling her she's doing everything wrong."

Charity comes walking in, "La, La, La. I am here. What do you need?" She asks in her light singsongy voice.

"First, you need to stop speaking like that. It's creepy." Snowball says as Banjo walks in.

I wave at him and he sighs, "What're you doing in my house?"

Snowball places a paw on Leafeon's head, "Because your...friend needs to help her. My Heal Pulse isn't enough."

"Get your paw off of her!" I hear Nightshade yell.

Her muffled, angered, screams fuel Snowball's happiness.
We should be closer.

Banjo looks over at Charity who is just humming to herself, "You gonna do anything or-"

"I'm working on it, Banjo." She answers.

We wait for Charity to finish and what we get is this: "I can't work with Isabelle here."

Oh, I get it.
Bunch of little babies.

It seems that Larry and Pichu are the only ones here today.

"Where is everyone?" I ask the tanning Pikachu.

"They all went with Rudy, some race training or something," He answers.

"No one invited me," I mumble.
Larry nudges Pichu with his tail, "You see this? This display of self-pity? Don't do this."

She gives him a thumbs up then goes back to her nap.

Mufasa decides to pop in, literally.
"Hey, are you ready for an adventure?" He asks slowly

"Not really."

"Well, too bad. You kept on ignoring me so Opal decided I should be more...assertive."

I snort, "You. Assertive? Don't make me laugh!"

He frowns, "You need to hurry up and get back on the road. Rudy's got things he's gotta do and you've got a prophecy to fulfill."

"How can I fulfill it if I don't know the meaning of it?"

An autumn-looking Leafeon jumps up on his head, "Hakuna Matata, bitches."

So vulgar this one.
I don't know why Mufasa has Maple following him around.

Mufasa sighs, "She's my assertiveness."

Can he read my mind now?

Maple chuckles, "You know it."

"Alright. But why are you here," I ask

She scratches her ear, "Tidal has upset your ancestors pretty bad. I'm the big guns!"

She gets up on two legs and makes two handguns, "I'll be like Pew! Pew!"

"Why would a bunch of Primarina care about a Vaporeon?"

"That's for you to find out." She answers, "Mrs. Hazel eyes."

Was that supposed to offend me?

"Let's just go get Maui," Mufasa grumbles.

We find Maui and Robin just stuffing themselves with the food in Kukui's fridge.

"BZZT! STOP THAT!" Rotom yells at them while spazzing out.

If he keeps going like that he might self-destruct or something.

Maui turns to us, "Isabelle!"

He spit his food all over me.
How is he my father?

"Yeah, no time for chit-chat," Maple says in a surprisingly commanding voice.

"Great." Robin says rolling his eyes, "Maple Syrup is here. Shouldn't you be making sure your daughter isn't dead?"

How can they see them?
Did Mufasa lie to me?
Or are Maui and Robin just that special?

She glares at him, "You worry about your kid, I'll worry about mine. Got it?"

He gulps and nods.

She sighs, "Now, tell Isa about WaveClan, don't ask why just do it."

Maui creates a huge bubble in the lab which immediately makes Rotom short circuit.
He'll be ok, I'm sure of it.

The bubble displays a bright meadow with Beautifly and flowers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A small Eevee with a white paw is running away from someone.

She trips on her own paws which sends her stumbling down a hill.

The Eeveelutions that were chasing her laugh as she struggles to get back up.

"Ha! What a weakling!" The Jolteon yells.

Wait.
I've seen those eyes before.
Back in Lush jungle, on Miracle's Trial.

A fluffy and old Flareon runs down the hill and pins Eevee down, he doesn't seem to happy about it though, "What do you want to do, Wild Spark?" He asks with a sigh.

Wild Spark shocks her, "Tidal Wave said I needed to try my new abilities on some Pokémon. I don't think he'll mind if we try them on her."

"Yeah, he definitely won't mind if we attack his daughter." The Flareon says sarcastically.

Wild Spark sighs, "C'mon, Hawk Flame! He doesn't care about her! No one does! If I don't you shouldn't either.

"I do," Maple stands atop the hill and she looks pissed, "We wouldn't want to deal with Maui would we?"

The Jolteon snarls, "That stupid Primarina. What a bunch of idiots. I'm not scared of them!"

Her ears twitch, "I think I can hear them now."

They still ran away, though.
Liars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, Eevee is in a small clearing in the dark forest.

Maple stands on a rock and uses Sunny Day to brighten the place up.

"Alright, Eevee. You've gotta learn how to fight."

"But Father won't teach me how!" She squeaks.
 
Maple smiles warmly at her, "That's good. I didn't want him to, he would've taught you how to kill, not fight."

She snarls, "That's all this Clan is, a bunch of killers hiding in the dark like the cowards they are!"

Eevee cowers in fear and Maple clears her throat, "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay."

Maple jumps off the rock, "Now, the first thing I will teach you is-"

Eevee is clearly not listening as she's too busy watching a Salandit with a white stripe on her head proudly lead her pack of Salandit along with one Salazzle through the forest.
 
"Eevee? Are you listening to me?"

Eevee turns back to her mother, "Y-yes! I was just...she looked so...strong. I wanna be like that! Strong and confident!" She wags her tail and

Maple sighs, "That pack of Salazzle are a weird bunch. They're the Violet Flame Lounge. The one leading them is the leader's sister. Last I heard, she's leaving soon. Apparently, she doesn't want to lead. She's a fierce one, I'd love to see her and Tidal square off."

Eevee's eyes shine, "Once I evolve, you and I could leave and find her."

Maple smiles then places a paw on Eevee's head, "You're not evolving anytime soon if you don't learn how to fight."

Eevee nods, "Ok. I'm ready to learn!"
"Great! Now, lesson number one! Your fighting stance!"

Why is that important?
No wonder Maple died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next, I get to see Eevee (Fuck it, we'll just call her Holly). in that open clearing where she and Maple were training.

Maple stands protectively over a beaten and bloodied Holly.

Tidal smirks, "What's this? Maple wants to leave my Clan? For a ragtag group of Salandit?! My own mate? I can't have that."
 
Maple snarls at him, "I never said I was loyal to you. You're a terrible leader and a terrible father. Maui could teach you a thing or two."

"Maui! Maui! Maui!" Tidal snarls, "All you talk about is that stupid Primarina!"

"I talk about those who I believe are good and reasonable. I don't hear about Maui's tribe going out and murdering innocent Pokémon. I know that Maui doesn't abuse his children. If it weren't for those murderers always having your back, I would have killed you a long time ago."

Maple turns away from him and lifts Holly up by the scruff, "We're leaving. I'm not going to let my daughter be raised into a monster."

Tidal surrounds them with water, "Nobody leaves unless I tell them to." He turns to the Clan, "Don't let her leave."

They spend no time ripping Maple to shreds.

Her screams filling the forest all while her daughter watches on helplessly.

The Jolteon that I saw in the first flashback looks on in horror.
She slowly backs away from had Clanmates and runs over to the aged and fluffy Flareon.

Tidal sits on a rock and he smiles at Maple's mangled body.
He doesn't say anything, he just watches the Eeveelutions rip her body apart.

"If I were you, I'd leave." Tidal's voice drowns out the hungered snarls, "There's no place for weakness in my clan. Get out."

Holly's eyes fill with fear and she shakes her head frantically, "No! I- I can't survive like that on my own! Mother is gone! I can't live without her!"

Tidal shrugs, "Not my problem."

When she continues to refuse to leave, he flicks his tail for the Clan to move in on her.

Holly dashes out of there as fast as her little legs will take her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next memory I get to see is a happy one.

Holly is sitting in a little box on a rainy day.

She watches shyly as the people and Pokémon walk past her.

Suddenly, Hau pokes his head into the box, "Oh. There is something in here." He whispers

Holly cowers in fear, but when Hau offers her some food, she's more than happy to stick her head out.

Hau scoops her up, "You're light! When was the last time you ate?"

Holly stares at him and he smiles, "Well, I know nothing is better than some malasadas!"

Looks like he wasn't wrong about malasadas making people happy.

She follows him around like a lost puppy.

While it's storming.
How does pneumonia sound?
Although, I have to admit it's pretty cute.

He bought her a little pink bow and it's just so cute I'm gonna die!

Ahem. I'm not ok.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lastly, I get to see Holly and Nightshade talking while we were in Malie City.

While Holly is staying as close as she can to Hau, Nightshade is being the clingy Salazzle that she is.

"So, how about I get you some poppy's?"

Holly shakes her head, "N-no. I just want...you to go away." She whispered the last part.

Nightshade snorts, "That's funny! Don't deny you don't love my company."

She shrugs, "I don't know."

Nightshade jumps up on a nearby bench, "I was supposed to be the queen of my group after my sister died..or just got bored, I guess. But I wanted more from life...an adventure!"

Why is she giving Holly her life story?

Holly stares at her in awe, "Wait. Is your group called the Violet Flame Lounge?

"Yup!" Nightshade answers proudly, "Nice name, I know."

Holly jumps up on the bench, "I saw you! When you were younger! You were leading your pack through my home!"

Nightshade takes a step back, "Really? That's so cool! It means we're destined to be together!"

"What?"

Nightshade's face turns a vibrant pink, "Nothing!"

Holly places her white paw on Nightshade's white stripe, "Do you mean this?" She whispers, "It's something that I get from my father."

"You have a father?" Nightshade shakes her head and chuckles, "I mean of course you do that was a dumb question."

Holly looks down at her paws, "My father isn't the best."

Realization flashes in Nightshade's eyes but it quickly vanishes, "Oh. Well, you don't have to talk about him if you don't want to."

Holly shakes her head shyly and Nightshade chuckles, "But I still made your day!"

Holly looks at her in shock, "Why are you yelling at me?"

Nightshade sighs, "Jeez. You're....you're strange you know that? So shy...it's cute."

She blushes.
"You think I'm cute?"

Nightshade ruffles the little tufts of fur on her head, "You bet! Now c'mon! Miracle and Hau will leave us behind!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I yawn, "Are we done yet?"

Maple seems pretty content.

"No. Not yet, but we can be if you want."

Maui pops the bubble and sighs.

I look at her in confusion, "You're pretty chill for someone who was murdered by their own mate."

Maple shrugs, "He's an ass. He was at least decent until Leafeon was born. He wanted a son and got a daughter, or, at least a daughter he couldn't deem as weak. He should really be more like Maui."
  
I sigh, "Why are you so thirsty for my father?"
 
Maui spits out the apple juice that he was drinking, as Robin laughs his feathers off.

Maples amber eyes fill with anger, "What!? You watched those and all you got out of it was that I was thirsty for your father!? What the fuck is wrong with you!?"

"What was I supposed to get out of that then?"

"That's for you to find out. Don't blame me, blame Opal."

I scoff, "I'm sure she wouldn't be happy to hear about the crush you have on her mate."

She storms outside with everyone else following her.

Pfft. For such a strong Pokémon she sure can't handle the truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While chilling outside with Larry, I hear Maui talking about how great he is.

"When I was just a wee Popplio, I swam to the bottom of the sea and pulled up the islands that we sit on now."

The Popplio gasp in awe, "Wow! Mr. Maui! You're so cool!!"

Yeah, you keep thinking that.

"I even pulled up the sky, I harnessed the breeze and even created coconuts."

"Ahh! It must be the hair!" One of them yells.

"No! It's the body!" A Primarina screams before fainting.

Everybody just wants a piece of Maui.

Larry looks over at him, "If he is more beautiful than me then lightning shall strike me down!"

Larry barely dodges a Thunder.

A Jolteon and Flareon walk up behind us.

"Tidal Wave was right. Maui's kid did evolve!" The Jolteon laughs, "Hawk Flame! What do ya think of this!?"

She nudges the elderly Flareon who glares at the Primarium Z hanging around my neck, "This is the one? She's got a trainer."

He turns to the smiling Jolteon, "Wild Spark, this was a waste of our time. Where's Tidal Wave?"

He looks around until his eyes land on Nightshade.

"Hmm. Is this Violet's heir?"

Wild Spark sets the paw that she was cleaning down, "Who?"

Hawk Flame at sighs, "Violet. The leader of the Violet Flame Lounge!"

"Ohhh!" Wild Spark exclaims, "Yup! This is her! She's got that white stripe and everything."

Nightshade glares at them, "Looks like Tidal brought some minions to scout us out."

She smiles slightly, "Idiot. I'm already one step ahead of ya."

She whistles and almost immediately my tribe appears behind her along with Robin, Ducidueye, and Siren.

When Hawk Flame and Wild Spark spot Maui, they flip out.

"TIDAL WAVE!! HE'S HERE! HE'S HERE!"

"Fuck!" Maple curses at Maui, "What happened to being stealthy?"

Maui shrugs, "Tidal doesn't scare me."

"The ocean should!" She yells.

The ocean swirls up into a whirlpool with Tidal standing in the middle.

"Maui! It's been a long time friend."

Maui smiles at him, "We all know why you're here."

I don't.

Hawk and Spark leap on me, pinning me down.

"You Primarina are hard to kill," Tidal says calmly

I shrug, "Or you're just weak."

Wild Spark uses Discharge, "You sure do have a big mouth."

Oh boy. That hurt.
I'm just...so scared.
The Whirlpool grows as more Eeveelutions surround us.

Tidal places a paw on his chin, "Hmm. Who should we kill first? Maui or Isabelle?"

His clan erupts in Maui's.

Gutsy.

"I like that choice, too. Pixie Cloud! I know you'll do your best."

A large Sylveon walks over to Maui,

"A formidable opponent for a formidable Sylveon." She says, cracking her neck.

She doesn't hesitate in starting the battle.

It doesn't last long, though.

Thank Arceus.
I don't have time to fight.

"STOP! STOP FIGHTING!"

Tidal flicks his tail for them to stop.

Standing among the Eeveelutions and Primarina, is little Leafeon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Word count: 3283

The names of the clan Eeveelutions are supposed to be like this. They're not quite like clan names (ex:Hawkflame) as they aren't Warrior Cats. They're trying, though. You don't understand how hard this was to write. I really hope you like it.

After edit: This is when my writing got good.
