Chaos Pokemon Chapter 7: Tails New Partner

After defeating Eggman the gang
made their way out of the forest and to the car. Sonic was leaning on Tails,
proving that he pushed himself a bit too far. He tried to Tails that he was
fine, but Tails would hear none of it and said.

Tails-Sonic, that technique may
have done more than you know. Besides, it's my fault that you got hit by that
goop, it's the least I can do.

Tails looked down and said.

Tails-I'm so sorry Sonic, if only
I'd been quicker.

Sonic- Don't be so hard on yourself
that shot was so quick that I had to hit my top speed just to push you out of
the way.

Tails- Thanks Sonic, you always
know how to cheer me up.

Ash-You two are pretty close,
aren't you?

Sonic- You know it; Tails is more
than just a teammate to me. He's like my little brother, and I'd do anything to
keep him safe.

Amy- Sonic and Tails are hardly
ever apart, and they're normally the ones who keep Eggman from becoming a
problem.

Tails- Yeah, Sonic's like a brother
to me as well, and he is always there when I need him. Through the good
times...and the bad.

Sonic looked at him knowing what he
meant tried to change the subject.

Sonic- So anyway Knuckles, how'd
you know where to find us?

Knuckles was just about to explain
what happened when all of a sudden the police officer from earlier came into
view and ran right up to them with her Growlithe right beside her.

Ash- Officer Jenny, are you two
okay?

Officer Jenny nodded

Officer Jenny- Yeah we're fine, but
that was a little too close for comfort. So what happened to him?

Professor Oak- Everything's fine,
it was a pretty tough fight though. It seems he's teamed up with team Rocket.

Officer Jenny- Is that so, hmm,
looks like we may have more of a challenge that I thought.

Sonic still leaning on Tails said.

Sonic- No kidding, Eggman's bad
enough, but now with these nuts on his side. Taking them down won't be easy.

Officer Jenny- By the looks of how
you're leaning on your friend, you got a bit banged up yourself.

Sonic- I've been a lot worse, it's
just that I used a new technique and it did a bit more than I expected.

Officer Jenny- Well, regardless you
each should get checked out at the Pokémon Center.

Ash- Yeah, we're actually on our
way to a friend of ours who's a Pokémon doctor. The thing is we don't want our
friends to get bombarded from other trainers. So we're trying to keep them a
secret.

Officer Jenny looked nervous and
said.

Officer Jenny- Oh, well, after your
friend saved me and ran off after that nut. You kinda attracted an audience,
and have become the talk of the town.

Everyone freaked out and said.

Everyone-WHAT!?

Sonic was the first to recover and
said.

Sonic- Well, it was bound to happen
sooner or later. I guess we'll just need to let everyone know that we're not
Pokémon.

Ash- \*sigh\* Well, that's just
great. I'm a bit annoyed that now are going to have folks harassing them, but I
guess Sonic's right.  If we just let
people know that they're not Pokémon to catch, then maybe we can focus on
finding a way to get them home. What do you guys think?

Professor Oak nodded and said.

Professor Oak- Yeah, I guess it's
for the best. I mean, if we were to find a way to keep them secret. It'd make
finding the emeralds next to impossible.

Everyone agreed and instead of
going to Brock's place, they made their way to the Pokémon Center. However as
they were making their way back to the city, they noticed a rustling in the
bushes and a few seconds later a small fox like Pokémon came out and collapsed.

Tails-Whoa, that Pokémon's hurt!

Ash ran up to it.

Ash- It's an Eevee, wait, this
isn't an ordinary one. It's a shiny!

Tails looked at him and said.

Tails-Shiny, what's that?

Ash- I'll explain later, this
little guy looks like he's pretty beat up. We need to get to the Pokémon Center
fast!

With that Ash carried the Pokémon
and with his friends ran as fast as they could to get to the Pokémon center.
People in the city tried to stop them for questions but the second they saw the
beat up Eevee they let them through. Finally they made it to the Pokémon
Center. Ash was the first to run inside and everyone followed. Ash once up to
the nurse said.

Ash- Nurse Joy, we were on our way
here and found this Eevee jump out of the bushes at us and collapsed!

Nurse Joy- I'll do whatever I can.
Chansey take this Pokémon to the E.R!

With that Nurse Joy took the Eevee
to E.R and everyone waited for the news. Finally after a good half hour the
light above the door went out and Nurse Joy came greeted them. Everyone stared
at her for a second and then she smiled and everyone took sigh of relief.

Nurse Joy- This Eevee's going to be
fine; it looks like it's suffered from exhaustion and fainted, also, its
injuries are not very serious.

Tails- Thank goodness. By the way,
earlier Ash said it's a shiny. What's that?

Nurse Joy- Well, you see, a
"Shiny" is a Pokémon that's a different color than normal. For
example, a normal Eevee's color's mainly brown and cream, but being this one's
a shiny it's got a gray/silver color. The thing is they're very rare. In fact,
last I checked the chance of finding one's about 1/4096, and on top of that,
it's female which is even rarer!

Sonic- Wow, that's so cool! I guess
we got really lucky. If only we had that much luck fighting Eggman.

Soon after he said that he grabbed
his chest in pain.

Tails- Oh crap, Sonic! Nurse Joy,
can you treat Sonic and my friends Pokémon? We got a little banged up fighting
Eggman's latest robot.

Nurse Joy-You mean that nut from
earlier, you fought him!?

Sonic- Don't worry; we fight him
all the time. The only reason we got banged up is because he was using a new
defense system that we weren't expecting and he teamed up with Team Rocket.

Ash- Yeah, plus with our Pokémon's
help. We were able to put him and Team Rocket in their place.

Nurse Joy- Well, I guess someone
had to do it. So anyway, you're these strange Pokémon people keep going on
about?

She looked at everyone and then
said.

Nurse Joy-Man, they weren't
kidding, none of you are any Pokémon I've ever seen before. However, that
doesn't mean I won't fix you guys up.

So Nurse Joy Took everyone in the
back to get them fixed up. She turned to Sonic and started with him.

Nurse Joy- Man, you did get a bit
banged up. You said you used a new technique, what exactly happened?

With that the gang explained what
went on during the fight.

Nurse Joy- Hmm, so that nut's
teamed up with Team Rocket. That's not good at all.

Ash- No kidding, those shields they
had made it nearly impossible to even touch them. If Knuckles hadn't shown up
when he did, I don't even want to think about what would have happened.

Tails- I still can't believe Sonic
was able to pull off that move like that, I mean he's done amazing things
before, but to use a move like that. It was just incredible!

Sonic- Yeah, I wish knew how I did
it myself. To be honest, I didn't care what would have happened to me back
there, because if I did nothing then more people would've gotten hurt. So I
just took a chance and put every bit of my strength into one last attempt to
break through the robot. Next thing I knew I felt the energy from it absorb
into my body and became engulfed in electricity.

Knuckles was shocked by this and
said.

Knuckles- Sonic that's crazy, you
could have been killed! You knew you might not have had enough strength, and
you still charged head on, what would have happened if you didn't have enough!?

Sonic turned to him with a serious
look on his face and said.

Sonic- Like I said, sometimes you
just need to go with what you've got, and what would have happened if I did
nothing? You know as well as I do what would have happened if Eggman were to
have his way.

Ash- Sonic, I agree with you.
However you can't be so reckless.

Misty- Heh, that sounds funny
coming from you. After all, if I remember correctly. When I used to travel with
you, you did things just as crazy to protect others.

Tails-Is that true?

Pikachu- Oh yeah it is, Ash's the
most reckless person I've ever met and can be really stubborn. However, if one
of his friends is in danger, he won't hesitate for a second to help them no
matter the risk.

Tails-Heh, that's Sonic in a
nutshell.

Sonic, Tails, and Pikachu each
laughed

Tails- Anyway, I guess we got a bit
off track. Knuckles, what exactly happened to you? According to Sonic you went
to try and use the Master Emerald to deactivate the Chaos Emeralds, but things
went nuts when he tried to draw more and more power from them, what happened?

Knuckles sat in a nearby chair and
said.

Knuckles- Hmm, so that's why the
Master Emerald went nuts. I guess I should start from when I got to Angle
Island. You see, when I got to the Master Emerald, I tried to use it to drop
the power of the Chaos Emeralds.

Professor Oak- You can do that?

Knuckles- Yes, the emeralds serve
the Master Emerald. In other words the Chaos Emeralds power is from the Master
Emerald. So I can use it to control the other emeralds. Anyway, like I was
saying. I was using the Master Emerald to drop the power of the emeralds and at
first it was working, but then, the Master Emerald began to go out of control
and then that blasted Chaos Control happened. When I got here I thought at
first it was Chris's world, but when I saw these creatures I knew I was
mistaken. The first thing that came to mind was finding everyone so we could
re-group. However as soon as I got into the nearest town, a couple of guys got
in front of me, and said that they were going to try and catch me and sent
their Pokémon to attack me. I didn't have time to deal with them so I ran for
it, but they kept following me. Finally I had enough running and asked them
what the hell they wanted with me. They apologized and asked me what kind of
Pokémon I was and how I was able to talk. I just looked at them wondering what
the heck they were talking about and asked. "What the heck's a Pokémon;
look, I don't have time for stupid questions. I need to find my friends and
Eggman!" They both looked at each other and one of them said. "Look
buddy, I have no idea what you're talking about either. So why don't you
explain what's going on and maybe we can help." I didn't feel like had
many options at that point, so I explained who I was and about the emeralds.
\*facepalm\* However, of course they were just about impossible and I needed to
explain every little detail very carefully. I mean I guess it's understandable,
but I was just so frustrated! Finally though I was able to get them to
understand, and they told me to talk to the Pokémon Professor. So they gave me
the location, ironically it was in the next town. After I got to know her and
answered all the questions she bombarded me with.

Ash- Wait, she, then that means.
You were in the Unova region!

Knuckles looked at him and said.

Knuckles-Yeah I was, how'd you
know?

Ash- I've been to each of the
regions, and all of the Professors are guys. Except for Professor Juniper.

Knuckles- Hmm, I guess now that you
know where it is, good it makes explaining the place a bit easier. Anyway back
to the story; after the questions were done we turned on the TV and on it was a
report of some nut in a robot attacking a city. I thought it had to be Eggman
and sure enough the nut appeared on the TV. I asked the professor where this
was and she said it was a place called "Viridian City" in the Kanto
region. I was becoming very frustrated because I knew where he was and couldn't
get there without a plain, and then she told me about pilot named Skyla. So
with that we headed for her place. It took some convincing, but I managed to
finally get her to help me get over here. I'm glad I made it when I did though,
it looked like Eggman and those groups of nuts were giving you all a hard time.

Tails- You can say that again, Team
Rocket had us pinned down and were about to end it. If you didn't show up when
you did, I don't even want to think about what'd happen!

Just then chansey came in alerting
Nurse Joy that the Eevee was waking up.

Nurse Joy- It would seem that the
Eevee you brought in has regained consciousness.

Tails-Well, what are we doing
standing around!?

With that everyone went in to meet
the strange Eevee. Ash then said as he noticed she was starting to stir.

Ash-Hey look she's coming to!

The Eevee than opened its eyes and
looked around in a panic. Nurse Joy put her hand on her head and said.

Nurse Joy- Take it easy, you're
safe. These people found you all beat up and unconscious. You've been sleeping
here all this time.

The Eevee looked at her and to
everyone else, and began to calm down.

Tails- So, what happened? I may not
be a Pokémon, but I can speak your language.

Eevee- I see, I don't really
understand, but I guess being you can understand me. It's worth explaining. You
see, my trainer ditched me because I was different.

Sonic was just floored by this and
said.

Sonic- You were abandoned for being
different!? That's just plain wrong!

Ash was just disgusted by this and
said.

Ash-Abandoning your partner just
because she's different, that's as low as a person can go!

Misty- Yeah, Pokémon are more than
just tools for winning. Their living things! How could anyone be so damn
heartless!?

Eevee- No kidding, I gave him
everything I had, but no matter how hard I tried. I just couldn't get him to see
that I was strong as anyone else! Then out of the blue he released me and told
me to hit the road! I had to live on my own for the past week, I searched for
him, but he was nowhere to be found!

As the Eevee said those words tears
ran down her face.

Amy-You poor thing, even after he
dumped you...You still searched for him for a whole week.

Nurse Joy-How horrible, Eevee's are
known for their loyalty, and to just toss one aside like she was nothing.
That's just unforgivable!

Tails felt her pain and said.

Tails- I'm so sorry you had to go
through that, before I met Sonic, people used to make fun of me for being
different. I remember each day; I used to just wish I could find someone who
could just like me for who I was.

Sonic-You never told me that.

Tails-\*sigh\* I don't like to think
about my past very much.

Sonic-Well, for what it's worth,
I'm glad you're my friend.

Amy-We all do.

Tails looked at his friends and
said.

Tails-Thanks guys, you're the best.

Nurse Joy-Heh, looks like you two
have got something in common.

Tails- I guess so; I just wish that
she didn't have to suffer like that. I mean, dumping a creature for being
different, and to tell it to hit the road for no good reason. That's just plain
cruel.

The Eevee looked at Tails and said.

Eevee- For what it's worth, I'm
glad I was able to meet you; no one's ever treated me with kindness like that.
Thank you.

Tails-Likewise, I hope you find a
trainer who treats you better.

Ash-Same here, no one should treat
Pokémon like that.

Sonic- Well, I'm glad we found this
Eevee and it's safe. We should probably get moving back to Professor Oak's
place. Is that alright with you Professor?

Professor Oak- Of course it is, we
need to find a way to get the emeralds back and until then you each are more
than welcome to stay at my lab.

With that the gang headed out of
the room, but the Eevee started to cry as soon as they left. Nurse Joy looked
at her and said.

Nurse Joy-You really liked them,
didn't you.

The Eevee looked at her and nodded.

Nurse Joy-Then go.

With that she leaped out of the bed
and landed on the floor. Nurse Joy opened the door and the Eevee ran straight
for Tails.

Tails- What the, what are you doing
here?!

The Eevee nuzzled Tails leg, Tails
was at a loss until Nurse Joy came up to the gang and said.

Nurse Joy- It would seem that
Eevee's become attached to you and wants you to stay with you.

Tails was stunned and looked at the
Eevee

Tails-Is that true!?

The Eevee then said.

Eevee- Yep, you're like me, an
outcast, and on top of that. Like I said, you're the only one who's ever
treated me with that much kindness. I know I'm not very strong, but I promise
to make myself useful. So please, I'm begging you, let me join you!

Tails didn't know what to say; on
the one hand having her as a partner would be a big help and could actually
make him useful, but on the other hand, he'd have to leave her eventually and
that would leave her crushed. He was about to say no when Sonic said.

Sonic- I say go for it, it is true
we'll have leave eventually, but with this Team Rocket we need all the help we
can get. Plus who knows we may even be able to bring her with us.

Tails looked at his friend
surprised he thought for sure he'd say no, but Sonic did have a point. So with
that Tails said.

Tails- Well, okay we could use all
the help we could get.

The Eevee jumped for joy and said.

Eevee- Oh thank you thank you thank
you, I swear to do my best!

Tails then thought of something.

Tails-Hey don't you have an actual
name?

Eevee-I'm just called
"Eevee" same as everyone else.

Tails-That's what I thought, but
you're not like a normal Eevee. So you need a unique name. Let's see...How
about, Amber?

Misty-That's a pretty name.

Amber-I love it, thank you Tails!

Nurse Joy-Well that's just great,
I'm glad everything worked out. Now, you may want to use a Pokéball on her so
trainers won't try and capture her.

Tails was confused and said.

Tails-Well, I don't know, I mean. I
don't really know about becoming a trainer, I'm still a bit uneasy about
battles

Professor Oak-You don't have to,
the thing is though. If you don't use one on her, then anyone can catch her.

Tails-I guess you're right, she's
my partner, and I don't want her taken away by some lowlife!

So with that Nurse Joy handed Tails
a Pokéball.

Tails-You sure this won't harm her?

Professor Oak-Don't worry, trainers
use them all the time and it's completely safe. All you need to do is tap her
with the button on the front.

Tails-Okay, here we go.

With that Tails pressed the
Pokéball on Amber's forehead and she became cloaked in a red light and went
inside the ball.

Tails- How do I get her out?

Professor Oak just laughed and
said.

Professor Oak- Just hold the ball
in front of you and call her out, and to send her back just point it in front
of her and tell her to return.

Tails-Okay, Amber come on out!

With that a white light came out of
the ball and materialized into Amber.

Tails-Amber, I'm going to keep you
mainly out of the ball. Is that okay with you?

Amber-That's just fine with me.

Sonic-Well, now that that's over.
You guys ready to go yet?

Professor Oak-Yep, let's go!

With that the gang was about to
head out when a girl with this plant like Pokémon walked through the door and
asked Nurse Joy to give her Pokémon a checkup.

Ash-Wow, a Lilligant you don't see
those around here that often.

Ash then noticed Sonic and his
friends stared at her in shock.

Sonic-No, it can't be!

Tails-Cosmo!?
