#3 of The Struggle Within
*7 Hours Later* Taylor awoke to the sound of movement and heavy breathing. She turned around. The little eevee was waking up. He stared at her. "Uhh. Hiya. I'll be right back" She walks over to a growlith. "Psst Dan....Dan" the growlith opens one eye. "yes..?" "Get rick" "Anything else your highness?" "No I'm good thank you jester" The growlith snorts and pushes the door open with his front paws. Then he goes out. Taylor walks over to the eevee. He whimpers "it's ok... No ones gonna hurt you. Were friends here. Can you speak?" "e-eevee?" "oh I guess your not able to actually speak. I wonder how old you are" she walks around him." From the looks of it too much pain to move) Rick walked in followed by Dan. "Soo I see your awake. Officer Jenny told me toyou look of it you look about 13 going on 14. The same age as my son" Suddenly the door opened. Taylor turned around while the eevee moved his eyes (because he was laying down and he was In give you these painkillers so your not In so much pain. They'll also help you go to sleep. Your legs should heal up soon. Let me check on them." He feels them " Holy moly! There almost healed! How the hell? They shouldn't heal that fast! Death doesn't want you yet. Hmm... I think I'll call you Shadow. Because you were In deaths shadow. Let's check your ribs.... Hmm not healing as fast. Well you better take the pills." the eevee sniffs the pills. Then eats them. "Well I'm going back to sleep. Night" As he leaves the barn, Dan comes up to him and says "Hey looks like your gonna live after all" WHAM "Ow! What was that for Taylor!" Dan yells "Shhh! People are still sleeping. And he doesn't know he almost died." Taylor whispers. Shadow just stares. Then his eyes start to droop. "Shhh just let the medicine kick In. Don't fight it." Slowly, his eyes start to close until he's asleep. * the morning, next day * shadow wakes up the next morning. He can hear the birds chirping. He stands up, a little shakily, then walks out. To the left he sees a Anthony, a squirtle, a shinx and a 9-tails playing with a ball. To the right he saw Dan and Taylor talking and he saw a Pidgeot sitting down and a 9-tails taking a nap.
He wanted to be alone right now. I'm such a burden, he thinks. He walks through the bushes and trees that are right across the barn and into what looks and seems like a mini forest. [Wow! What is this green stuff. Where's all the shiny things and the people In white coats? It feels good to walk around. God I wonder what happened last night...maybe if I just leave I'll find the shiny place] he starts walking away from the field of Pokemon. 2 minutes later he feels something warm come from his stomach. He looks down to see red stuff dripping from a hole In his stomach. [Hopefully it will stop soon] he continues walking away. * * * "Hey Taylor check on the kid." Ace,the Pidgeot, says. "Yeah sure" Taylor walks over to the barn and goes inside "So Dan, how have you been?" "I've been good, wish there was more action though" "Jeez, what's taking Taylor so-" Taylor runs out "You guys! I-" "Speaking of Taylor..-" "-Can't find him. I looked everywhere. Have you seen him?" they shook there heads."Kids! Come over here!" Anthony, Sparky(the shinx), Charlie(the squirtle), and Alive(the 9-tails), ran over. They're chatter all at once was impossible to talk through. "Shhh. Quiet down. Now have any of you seen the little eevee, shadow? I can't find him and I'm starting to get scared. The last time I saw him he was sleeping." "only normal people need sleep!" Charlie said. Alice hit him "No we haven't. Why is everything ok?" "I was afraid of this. He doesn't know where he is. He wandered off. Ok everyone split up and look for him. Ace,take to the skys. Well meet back here if you find him." " I bet I'll find him first! Because I always win! I got Tiger Blood!-" "Oh shut up!" They all split off into different directions. * * * Shadow watched as the caterpie crawled up the tree.[Where have I seen these before?] He suddenly gasps as he realizes where he's seen it before *Flash Back* "where do you want him?" "just put him on the table. We need to test the caterpie" They place him on the table. Then the white coats walk over to the caterpie. In one of the white coats hands is a needle. "test number 7.80, caterpie, injecting with the TG-72." as they inject him with the liquid, the eevee notices somethings wrong. In a few seconds the caterpie starts expanding rapidly.In a few seconds... Boom "Test number 7.80 inconclusive, subject has been terminated." *Flash back end* With new-found fear, shadow looks for a place to hide. He sees a hole near the bottom of a tree. He runs inside. A few minutes later he hears his new name being called. Still afraid to move, he stays there. He hears footsteps. As they get closer, he feels himself shaking harder. Then all of a sudden silence. Until a face pops inside of the hole. Shadow and the 9-tails scream. But then they realize they know each other. The 9-tails laughs. "Hey little dude! Been searching all over for ya! My names Alice. Why don't you come out of there?" Shadow shakes his head "Awww come on. Tell ya what. You come on out and I'll sneak ya a little extra food for dinner...please?" "O..ok?" Shadow says ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ok so whose addicted? I've been having a bad week.
