Evangelina walked silently down the road, watching the Pidgey fly over-head. All she could think of was today was the day her brother Morty from Ecruteak City came home. "I haven't seen Morty in 3 years!" she thought to herself, "I was only 18 when in left, now I'm 21, and I look so different. I wonder if he does."

As she watched an overly small Rattata scamper in front of her, she finally began to think about something different. "He always liked Pokemon so much, especially Ghost Types. That is what we always fought about…Pokemon. Why do people like them so much? They are just critters like every dog and cat, what makes them so special?"

Just then, she heard a loud, long screech. It made her jump it startled her so. It sounded like an animal that was in major trouble. "I wonder what that was."

She hopped a line of bushes and tiptoed into the brush. As she kept walking, there were more screeches and yelps of pain. She got to a line of bushes and saw a younger boy, maybe about 9, holding a pocketknife. In front of him, was a fallen Pokemon. It was small, with brown fur and a puffy cream colored collar of fur. It had a puffy brown tail with a cream colored tip. On its face, right down its left eye, was a huge gash, going from its forehead to its chin. It was bleeding profusely, and without medical attention, it would surely die.

As she watched, trying to decide what to do, the boy raised the knife again. "Not learning any new attacks, huh? Well, this'll teach ya'!" He took the knife, and cut the Pokemon again, this time across the left ear, leaving a thunder bolt shaped cut going right across the front of the ear. As he did so, the Pokemon screeched in pain, raising its head enough for Evangelina to identify it. An Eevee. A very young one too, not more than 6 months old.

"We have an issue here, kid?" Evangelina shouted as she jumped out of the bushes.

"Who are you to ask?"

"Don't push me you little monster! You better stop hurting that Pokemon or you're gonna be apple sauce!"

"Oooh! Quiver, quiver!" the kid said, faking being afraid.

"We got a problem here, little sis?" a voice asked from the shadows.

"Morty!" Evangelina shouted with a huge smile crossing her face.

"The one and only! Go, Haunter! Psywave!" Morty yelled, releasing his prized Haunter.

"Yikes!" the kid shouted, as he jumped away from the beam. "Go! Houndour! Crunch!"

"No! Haunter!" Morty yelled, as he leapt to catch the Pokemon as it fell from air.

"Ok you little twit!" Evangelina screamed from behind the kid, "Nobody hurts my brother's Pokemon and gets away with it!"

Evangelina kicked the kid in the stomach, sending him flying back into a nearby tree.

"Ouch! Mommy!" the kid yelled, screaming into the woods.

"Morty, is your Haunter OK?" Evangelina asked.

"He should be fine. What about your Eevee?"

"My, Eevee? How many times have we been through this Morty? I don't train Pokemon, and I never will!"

"Really?" Morty said, looking surprised, "Could have fooled me!"

"Huh?" Evangelina looked down and saw the Eevee desperately trying to get to her, "Morty, please tell me you have your Pokemon medical kit with you!"

"Yeah, here, why?" then, Morty saw the condition of the Eevee, and the amount of blood it had lost, "This is going to take more than this kit! We've got to get to a Pokemon Center!"

"Did you bring your bike, bro?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I'm stealing it for the moment!" she said, as she ran in the direction of the road, "You'll get it back, I promise!"

"Never gonna train Pokemon…Right. That Eevee will catch your heart little sis. You just wait and see."

{•{•{

"Nurse Joy! Chansey!" Evangelina shouted as she screeched the bike to a halt outside the Pokemon Center's front doors.

"What is it, Evangelina? What's wrong?" Nurse Joy asked as she came running out the door.

"This Eevee! I found a kid hurting it, and I helped to save it! Please, Nurse Joy, do anything and everything you can!"

"This Pokemon is in the worst condition I've ever seen! Chansey, get it on the stretcher, stat!"

Evangelina watched helplessly as the little Eevee was gently placed on the stretcher, and carted off into the center for treatment, "Why do I care about it so much? I was just saying that Pokemon are nothing to pine over, now…this…this…this Eevee! I can't do it! I'm not going to give in. I'm not meant to travel. I'm meant to stay home and start my own family. But…"

"Hey!"

"Yikes! What…"

"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you!" it was Rose Town's Officer Jenny.

"That's OK…"

"Nurse Joy tells me you saw a boy abusing this Pokemon. Pokemon Abuse is illegal!"

"I know that."

"Can you give me a description of the boy? It is serious that I find him and stop him!"

"Sure. He was about 4 foot 8…He was wearing dirtied up blue jeans, a maroon shirt, and a white bandana around his head. The bandana had a weird pattern of neon green and pastel yellow on it. He had brown hair. And that is the best description I can give you."

"That is all we need. We have had dozens of reports on this boy!"

"Really? How awful for his Pokemon!"

"He and his Houndour are notorious for abusing Pokemon! This Eevee is the 8th victim we have heard of!"

"8th? But you said you had dozens of reports. You mean he does this to them over and over again! It is bad enough he does it once!"

"Chansey!" Nurse Joy shouted from the ER, "Call the Carnation City Pokemon Center! We need more type A blood! Now!"

"Nurse Joy," Evangelina asked, "what's wrong?"

"The Eevee you brought us may not make it! It lost too much blood!"

"NO!" Evangelina shouted, wide eyed.

"Chansey, sey, chansey!" Chansey said from beside them.

"What Chansey?" Nurse Joy asked it.

Chansey pointed to the phone screen, on it, sat the Nurse Joy of Carnation City.

"What is it that you need?" the Carnation Joy asked.

"We need type A, and bags of it!" Rose Joy said.

"We need it to! We have called all over! The closest center to have any is Sunflower City!"

"But," Evangelina said, "Sunflower it too far from here! The only way there is by a Pokemon's Teleport, unless you want to risk going through that heaping swarm of Fearow and Spearow!"

"Sis! What's going on? Is it OK?" Morty asked, running in through the front doors.

"No, Morty! It's not OK at all! They need more type A blood, but the closest Center to have any is Sunflower City!"

"That's bad, very bad…"

"Wait! Morty, your Gengar knows Teleport! Have it Teleport me to Sunflower and back!"

"No way sis! Gengar has only known it for a little over a month! We haven't practiced it at all! Who knows where you might end up, or what you might end up as!"

"I don't care! I'm gonna save that Eevee. My name does mean 'angel', maybe I'm that Pokemon's angel?"

"I thought you didn't like Pokemon."

"Morty, please! I see something in that Eevee's eyes that I have never seen anywhere before! Please, Morty! If you do this, you will have saved a Pokemon's life! This Eevee will die without help! What are you going to do? Sit home and wait for news that it's dead, or do something?" Evangelina began to cry.

"Fine sis. Only because I have never seen you this way before, except when I left. Gengar! I choose you!"

"Hey, Gengar! Long time no see!" Evangelina said, drying her face.

"Gengar! Teleport her to Sunflower City, and be careful about it!"

"Gen, gar, geng!" the Gengar shouted as it used Teleport to take itself and Evangelina to Sunflower City.

"Bye! I'll be fine!" Evangelina said as she and Gengar disappeared.

"Good luck, Evangelina. Be careful. I knew I would be right. That Eevee has broken through that tough, Pokemon proof exterior you heart supposedly had. You always were that way. Especially for guys," Morty said with a slight giggle, "You always were the one to say that Pokemon were just like every other animal and critter, and you stuck to it till today. Just don't forget, I told you so." *^~^**^~^*

In The Next Cronicle:

Evangelina's plan works perfectly, Gengar takes her straight to Sunflower City, but when she gets there, Gengar is too exhausted from the long journey to take her home. What now? Evangelina's strength and forwardness takes over, and she vows to save the Eevee, no matter what it takes, even if it means leaving Gengar behind for a while and walking back to Rose Town. What will she do? Find out soon in:

Angel Flies Home

Notes

This part took a long time to type! I didn't write it first, I just started typing. I like it, even though it could have been a bit longer. I finished typing around 1:20 A.M. and still needed proof reading, and to type this, so my brain was kind of, shut down for the night-er-morning. Morty is a real, um, pushy brother, I suppose. I made him Eevy's brother for a few reasons: I wanted to use a character from the anime & game, she needed a cool brother, not just a lumpy old brother like some of the other trainers, and I wanted him to 'return home', so this way, he is coming home from his Pokemon Gym in Ecruteak City for a while. Good night for now, or rather, good morning!
