Chapter Thirteen: Eevee's Tale

Chapter Thirteen

I growled, it was a low sound, deep in my throat, and sounded sinister along every note that carried down the long hallway.
Am I awake or am I dreaming? I had no way of knowing, not that the true answer would have pleased me, being one or the other.
A flicker caught my attention and I lunged forward, my sharp pointed teeth latching on something that became visible soon after.
The Xatu made no sound, but I could still hear the pain as it thrashed and tried to throw me off, when it made a move to bash my head against the wall, I jumped off neatly and stood between it and freedom.
"Come on you over sized Natu, fight me like a Pokémon!" I growled, baring my teeth.
"Very well, but do not think that this will be easy!" I heard his voice like a whisper. He attacked suddenly, picking me up, my body awash in an unearthly purple glow, when he slammed me back down onto the tile floor so hard it cracked.
I growled and used confuse ray, I braced myself, glared at my opponent, and stood very still as my eyes glowed brighter and brighter, the rings on my body joined in, bathing us in a disturbing glow, and when enough power was stored in those few seconds, I blinked, and the two yellow glowing orbs of light that separated from my eyes made a quick pace towards Xatu, followed by eight blue ones, together they circled Xatu and moved faster and faster, the yellow moving the fastest of them all and the Xatu was thoroughly confused.
I knew he must be cursing me, but, being a dark Pokémon, I was now strong enough, that he could barely override the wall blocking his voice from my head at full power let alone confused.
The frustrated Xatu  suddenly flapped a small ways into the air, his body glowing, and raced down ward, in what would have been my direction if her wasn't so confused, instead he bumped his head on the lofty ceiling, and plummeted to the ground.
When he managed to stand once more, I raced forward, and using assurance, I slammed into him, forcing him back and causing deep furrows in the floor.
I knew I had him severely weakened, and I was almost distracted by the thought of beating him so easily when he got up, and immediately attacked.
He put his wings together, formed a large black ball, and threw it at me, there was no avoiding the impact, and I was hurled backwards, feeling the impact bruising my forehead.
As I was recovering from the blow, he attacked again, this time he waved his wings, making a strong wind that nearly blew me off my feet, I had to dig my claws into the tile, the sharp despairing screeching sound paired with the ominous wind, made me have a shiver of fear, but I shook it off, this time, I attacked immediately instead of catching my breath, I used faint attack.
I raced towards it, veering left and right, and suddenly, I was gone, and I saw many points of attacking, each one disappeared briefly as the Xatu looked in that direction, and I chose behind him, hitting his back with maximum speed, and knocking him to the ground.
He briefly turned to face me, standing even though he was nearly as weak as I was, and used psyshock.
It stood very still, time itself seemed to slow as four balls of blue light formed around it, and then, with its eyes glowing, it leaned forward, and the balls slammed into my sides.
He started to flee, and I lay there, wondering if I should get up or not, 'maybe if I just close my eyes I'll wake up in a nicer setting…' I decided on when…
"Luna! Wake up! Daemon's counting on you!" I heard Sol's voice and my eyes snapped open.
"Sol?"
"No time Luna! He's getting away, if he escapes who knows what he'll do to Daemon and Angel and everyone else!"
I got up, shaking, but filled with new found confidence, the Xatu was still struggling down the hall, fleeing.
"Not so fast!" I screeched, and flew after him, my paws barely touching the ground, the air parted for me, letting me through it while it seemed to hold on to the Xatu like water, and suddenly, I slammed into him, knocking him off his feet, and flipping head over heels into a wall, where he landed with a sickening crunch, and didn't move.
Seeing my enemy was knocked out, and hearing the hurried paws of my companions, I quickly gave into the exhaustion that called to me, and fell into my first peaceful sleep since this started.
