Part Three~

___________

After I'd finally beaten the game, my final team being Ampharos (Sparky), Unfezant (Skye), Zebstrika (Volt), Raticate (Fang), and Stoutland (Barky... don't judge me). My final Pokemon, Liepard (Swiftu), had died in the final fight. I had reluctantly released her, but while scrolling through the PC, I remembered one of my best Pokemon.

Angel!

The Eevee I'd lost so long ago, I could look back at him now.

I quickly went back to the box, where he stood alone. I scrolled over his sprite, then stopped as the arrow was in the slot beside him. From what I remember, he was in the first slot, the one in the top left corner. Now he was in the middle... oh well. Bad memory, I guess.

I hover the arrow over him and click Summary. What I saw almost made me throw the DS to the floor. Instead of having a normal Shiny Eevee sprite, this was... terrifying. Note, I am one of those people that get sooo easily scared.

Don't judge me.

Angel's sprite was torn and bloodied, and he looked a bit thinner than normal Eevee. Thin scratches coated his body, with pale smudges of blood. His eyes seemed slightly sad, but were sparkling joyfully as his sprite's tail wagged slightly.

What was going on?

I took him out of the box. Breaking Nuzlocke rules didn't matter now. I wanted to know what was happening here.

I placed him in the last slot, jumping as a happy-sounding cry came from the speakers. When I left the PC, a box of text came up. The text read:

Angel is happy you've remembered him!

It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop in my room. I slowly left the PokeCenter and went into Striaton. I don't know why I went back there, but whatever.

When I took a step forward, an Eevee cry played and a shiny Eevee came out of a Poke Ball behind my character. I winced. Walking Pokemon were only in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Angel's sprite bounced up and down twice, then a text box came up again. It read:

Angel is happy to stretch his legs again!

My eye twitched. His? The game usually referred to Pokemon as 'it'.

I turned, pressed A, and, to my surprise, was able to talk to Angel. The next box read:

Are you worried about Angel?

No yes-or-no box came up. I decided to fly to Icirrus City, where it was snowing. As I walked around, I couldn't help noticing little crimson smudges in Angel's tracks. I slowly pulled up his summary again.

His sprite was shakily standing this time, eyes shining cheerfully. One paw was raised, like he was trying to walk for the first time. Red smudges still covered the slashes on his body. I noticed a leaf stabbed into his ear, and stiffened. I remembered the Razor Leaf that had killed Angel.

I shook my head and viewed his nature and characteristics. Last time I checked, his characteristic was 'Stronly defiant'. Now, it was 'Very veangful'... His nature was still Jolly though.

Okay, this was getting ''weird. ''

I wondered how Angel would fare in bat-

Oh, speak of the devil, here comes Bu-

Wait, Burgh?
