_I do not own Pokémon in any way. I do own Evens, and various other towns throughout the story. The reason as to why Evens can understand Pokémon language and Professor Juniper's quick understanding will be explained in this chapter. _

A Not So Fun, Fun House

Walking down the dirt trail that is Route one Evens looks around confused he turn to his Pokémon, "Oshawott are we going in the right direction?" Oshawott shrugs, "I don't know I'm not the one with the map." A little frustrated Evens pulls out his Pokédex and scrolls to the moves list, "ok let's see what moves you know that could help." The moves list mechanically states that the moves that Oshawott knows, "the moves known are Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, and Razor Shell." "Razor Shell, isn't that a higher level move?" Looking down at Oshawott Evens turns around to examine the area he's in. picking out the closest tree, "Oshawott use Razor Shell on that tree but don't chop it down just mark it." Oshawott removes the shell attached to his belly and concentrates on creating a blade of water with the shell. The water blade flows out of the shell, gripping the shell tightly Oshawott leaps at the tree slashing at it making three slash marks in the trunk of the tree. "Ok so now we have a marker, if we're walking in circles we'll end up right back here and if not then that means that i am really bad at viewing the scenery." "Master what do you mean if we end up back here, aren't we walking down a straight path?" "We are but we have been walking down the same path for too long now we should have made it to Accumula town by now." Continuing down the path Evens counts the steps he's taking in his head, when he hit three hundred steps he sees the same tree with the slash marks in it. "Well I guess there's someone following us since we're back at the same tree."

Sitting down underneath the tree with the markings Evens has his eyes closed pretending to be asleep with Oshawott curled up in his lap. In the bushes across the path a small Zorua watches both of them carefully. It seems that they fell asleep now's my chance. The tiny fox Pokémon pokes its head out from behind the bushes scouting the area first before slowly making its way to the sleeping pair. It made its way slowly and cautiously getting about five feet away from the pair before Evens snapped his eyes open and shouted, "Now Oshawott, use Water Gun!" Oshawott who was already facing the road stood on his hind paws and unleashed his strongest water gun he could muster. The blast of water passed right through the fox Pokémon, "Ha did you actually think that I would risk exposing myself to an attack!" Standing up Evens looks around at his surroundings. "How come I can understand you, I thought Oshawott was the only one I could understand?" "What a naïve human, did you think you were the only one who arrived to this world?" "What do you mean only one?" "You're not the first and you probably won't be the last and all of the Professors know this as well." "So that's why Professor Juniper accepted my explanation so quickly, my question is how do you know so much about this?" "Professor Fennel has done some research on the subject." "Ok now if you'll be as kind as to answer my question, how is it that I can understand you?" "It seems that almost all of the other humans who came to this world have the ability to understand poketongue." "And how does that tie into her research with dream mist?" "He, he, he wouldn't you like to know." "You seem to like games, right?" "Why of course who doesn't?" "Well how about we play a game if I find you; you have to tell me everything that you know." "And if you don't what then?" "Then you can have us wondering the forest for however long you want." Evens couldn't hear Zorua and thought that it might have just left them in the illusion. "Zorua are you still there?" "Yes, I accept your offer." "Can I suggest an area where the game can be held?" there was silence again as Evens looked around at the forest as a mist slowly descended upon them. Oshawott clung to his trainer's leg, "master are we going to be alright?" Petting his Pokémon's head in reassurance, "of course we are if Zorua wanted to hurt us it would have done so already."

Before them an old abandoned house came into view as it seemed to come right at them until it was only ten feet away. "If you can find me in this house then I will let you catch me." "You ready Oshawott?" Oshawott nodded "yes, yes master." "Ok let's go get us a new Pokémon."

The inside of the main hall had an old English Country style look to it, with all of the furniture covered in white sheets. To the left a staircase leads up to the second floor, and to the right the dining hall and kitchen could be seen. "Well Zorua I'm in the house how about a clue as to where you are?" throughout the halls Zorua's voice echoed, "I am in a place where both child and parent play." Looking around Evens begins walking straight down the hall passing the stairs and dining room. Holding Oshawott, "Oshawott when we get outside I want you to be ready ok, I don't think Zorua will just let itself get caught." Oshawott nods tightly holding his trainers hand. Evens looked down the hall and saw an enclosed courtyard, "Oshawott you ready?" putting Oshawott down Evens carefully opened the cracked glass door that separates the inside of the building and the outside. Oshawott removes his belly shell, readying himself should he be told to use it.

Maybe the clue I gave them was too obvious? Zorua curled up underneath the tree that is located in the center of the court yard. Zorua hears footsteps getting gradually closer, that impossible he shouldn't have been able to of figured it out by now! Quickly getting up Zorua scans the area for anther hiding place when it hears the glass door creek open.

"Found you Zorua." Evens enters the courtyard to find the small fox underneath the tree. "So I guess I won the game." Furious Zorua screams, "THAT'S NOT FAIR, YOU CHEATED!" Zorua begins glowing with a dark blue aura, the more Zorua glows the more distorted the image of the courtyard becomes until it looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Zorua still glowing slowly steps down from its resting place, "I'll get you for cheating!" the fox Pokémon's claw grow larger and larger until there about six inches in length. "Oshawott use water gun," Oshawott lunches the attack only to miss and hit nothing but an illusion. The chairs to the right of Evens fly in various directions as the Zorua charges at the trainer. "MASTER!" Oshawott places itself in front of the attack to protect its master. "Oshawott use Razor Shell now!" the blade of water quickly forms as Zorua closes in. When Zorua is mere inches from Oshawott Evens yells, "now Oshawott swing!" Oshawott ducks under the claws of Zorua and brings his blade vertically down the underside of Zorua. The attack itself does not fatally wound the Pokémon but it does inflict a major gash in Zorua's chest. Zorua falls to the ground unconscious at the feet of Evens.

Warm, so warm I must be back at the lab in Professor Fennel's lap. Zorua slowly opens its eyes to see a camp fire; Oshawott appears out of the corner of its eye. "Why did you help me, I just tried to kill your master you know." "Master said he wasn't angry at you." "Hmm well whatever." Zorua slowly closes its again to drift back to sleep.

Evens returns to camp with more firewood, "Oshawott has our friend woken up yet?" "Yes but only for a little bit then she fell back asleep." "Zorua's a she?" "Yes, yes she's a girl I checked when you were getting firewood." "Oshawott you shouldn't have done that, I was going to ask what gender she was when I got back." Lowering his head, "did I do a bad thing?" Petting his head, "no but next time wait for me okay?" Oshawott nods his head and turn to Zorua to rewet the cloth that's on her forehead. Reexamining the shreds that ounce was his old shirt he checks the bindings around Zorua's mid-section. "The potion seems to be working so that's a relief; at least we don't have to rush to a Pokémon center." Looking up at the rapidly darkening sky, "well I better start setting up the tent so we don't end up sleeping outside."

After twenty minutes of setting up the tent Evens examines his work, "hmm just like the tents back home." Sitting down next to Zorua Evens begins petting her behind the ear drawing a feint moan from her. "I know you can hear me but I'll wait on asking questions for right now." Zorua who has her head turned away from him smiles weakly. "The only thing that I'll say I won the game and defeated you so I did win the right to catch you." Zorua turns her head toward Evens, "you aren't going to try to catch me now are you?" "No of course not the action would put unnecessary stress on your wounds, but I will after I get to the nearest Pokémon center." Rubbing her head against Evens left leg she whispers, "thank you."

Well that's the end of another chapter. The next will feature a gym battle so look forward to it.
