Chapter 8
When Umbreon fell a sleep late in the night, he started to have nightmares for the first time in his life. He dreamed about killing innocent pokemon, and then being chased all around by their ghost forms. They were after him and Kate, and they would stop at nothing. Umbreon dreamed they got a hold of Kate, and then made him suffer by being a lone for the rest of his life. When he was a lone, he dreamed the ghosts would taunt him in ways he wouldn't even think were possible. The visions were so real to him that it made him toss and moan the whole night long.
When morning came, Kate was the first to wake up. Sleepy as usual, she pulled the covers off when she glanced over at Umbreon. He was still moaning and tossing. Frightened, Kate quickly shoved him to wake him up. As he laid his eyes open and left his dreary dream, he dazed at Kate and realized she was okay. Everything was going to be just fine. When suddenly, from out of the blue, a lamp was knocked over. There was no wind, no movement, no nothing. After feeling the presence of spirits last night, then a nightmare, and now items being knocked down; all he could come to was that the spirits were after him. He didn't mean to kill anybody, he was just protecting Kate like any protector would do. His heart was becoming frightened as he stood like a statue. Kate crawled over and hugged the umbreon as he dazed away in fear. The warm feeling he had felt made him come back to life. Kate's hug was warm and pure. After she had let go of him, he heard the refrigerator open and close while the lights from the lamp flickered on and off. "Umbreon, what's that noise? What's happening?" she asked. "I'm scared." This was definitely the work of something he believed were never real, but merely myths. In his mind, he started picturing many things; his dreams must of been a warning telling him to leave this place.
Right now, he was in the city of Pallet Town. Should he move, he began to question in his head. With Kate staring at him in fear and confusion, he pictured many cities to move to. Cinnabar Island...Fuschia City...Celadon City...Pewter City...Cerulean City...that was it! Cerulean City would be the perfect place for Kate! She would love it. But was Kate ready to move to another place? To leave her town she once grew up in? As he laid his eyes upon her, he thought it would be the only way to save her from the evil. Plus, it would be a pretty environment for her to grow up in over there. The water is crystal blue, and the lands of grass and flowers flow on and on. He would have no time to pack up anything, he has to get started on the adventure now or never.
He ran over to Kate, pushed her on top of his back as usual, and ran up to ditch the spooky home base. As he got out, he felt a cold feeling run right through his heart. He shook himself straight, and then dashed through the roads running mile after mile. Forest after forest, he finally ran into a city named Viridian City. The welcome sign he passed gave him the clue where he was. They were one city closer to their destination.
"Hey Umbreon," the girl said as she held onto him tightly. "Where are we going?" she questioned. With umbreon still close to the sign, he walked back over and touched the sign with his paw, trying to show her they were moving. As she looked at the sign, she replied, "So were moving?". Not a single tear rolled down her eyes, showing umbreon she didn't mind. Either that, or she was a tough girl about showing tears. Umbreon shook his head as he gestured a yes. The girl smiled sweetly back and didn't say another word, she must of been in a state - of - shock. With not much left and darkness approaching once again, he dashed to find a place to sleep for the night. Something comfortable, roomy, and yet hides them from the shadow pokemon. As he walked, he came across some tree tops. If he could manage to jump up there, they would have a place to sleep plus there was fruit growing on it to eat. He took his tail and wrapped it around the girl, making sure she was safely secured. Kate looked confused, but Umbreon continued to jump up branch by branch. On the third branch, he had almost slipped as Kate tilted backwards, but he managed to maintain his balance. From the third branch, he jumped up and up and up. When finally, he made it to the second last branch, where he was going to stay for the night.
Once Umbreon released the girl onto the branch safe and soundly, he ran to the top and grabbed two apples. By holding them with his tail, he jumped back down to the branch where Kate was. As he held them, he saw Kate look down in fear as she gripped the branches tightly. Kate must be afraid of heights, he thought. Steady, he walked over to the girl and nudged her softly with the apples still in his tail. When she turned around, she saw him and quickly flipped her frown upside down, trying to show him she was a brave girl. Umbreon took his tail and put it in the girls face, trying to tell her to take one. With caution, Kate obediently took one from his tail as he sprang it back and put the remaining apple in his paws. Together, they munched on the apples together as they stared up at the sky full of stars.
Once both of them were finished, Kate had tried to get into a resting position, but she failed. The width of the branch was too small, even for her weak body. With each try to sleep, she almost made herself more frightened. Plus at the fact, she could see the shadow pokemon appearing every so often. Darkened pidgy's were flying over the sky one by one, each tackling each other for food like their wasn't enough to be given out to everybody. Umbreon walked over to the girl slowly and turned his body into a ball, trying to show Kate to sleep in the middle of it while he slept. Kate had stared in confusion, but she made no movement or sound; she looked so frightened today. If she would of said something, she probable would of screamed in fear, but she knew better then that. Umbreon was sure she knew not to, otherwise the shadow pokemon would notice them and attack. Their scent was visible, but not much pokemon would guess they were hiding in a tree. Steadily, Umbreon nudged her to move a little forward. Once she had done so, he leaped in the back and turned his body into a ball with Kate in the middle. Umbreon was an expert at sleeping on branches. As he stayed still, Kate understood what he was saying and laid her body down slowly in the middle. "Thanks," she whispered as she fell asleep peacefully.
