Chapter 81.
After a few minutes Suzaku finished telling the rest of the Clan Heads about Rean's appearance on the Himejima Clan compound, his claim that the Nakashima are under his protection and the fact that he single handedly devasted her Clan "the end result was... that almost half of the Himejima Clan is dead and that includes all of our Elders as well".
The other four Clan Heads were now nervously sweating, almost half of the Himejima Clan is gone in a single day and to them that happening to any of their Clans would be devastating, Suzaku sighed and shook her head "surprisingly the Curse didn't affect any children so they were spared of the Curse's horrible effects... the only good thing about all of this, is that with the death of the Elders I can now choose the next ones, I'm planning to pick those that have sided with me from the very beginning in my endeavors to fix things within our Clans".
The rest of the Clans nodded in agreement to Suzaku's statement, her being able to choose her own Elders was about the only good thing that came out of this whole ordeal, honestly it was something they all wish they could do.
Byakko Shinra frowned and shook his head "I was able to stop my Clan from going after the Nakashima recently, but the Elders have been conspiring behind my back to the point that I had to threatened them with exile or death if they dare to disobey...".
Byakko sighed "it seems that for now that threat was able to discourage any other attempt towards the Nakashimas, and once what happened to the Himejima becomes public it might help them further calm down".
Seiryuu Kushihashi sadly shook his head "I had to put down some clansman who were very determined to go after the Nakashimas life, that luckily stopped anyone else from trying to do the same... but it left a bad taste in my mouth having had to do that".
Genbu Doumon nodded "my Clan actually didn't want anything to do with all of this mess, were busy investigating the disappearance of the Hayashi and the White Pillar event under the orders of Amaterasu-Sama after all... though there were some talks about the Nakashima the Elders deemed them unimportant for now".
Ouryuu Nakiri turned his head towards Genbu "have you uncovered anything of those two events?".
Genbu shook his head "not at all, all we know is that there's not a single trace of the Hayashi Clan and their compound though... the forest that sprung up out nowhere where the Hayashi Clan Compound used to be, had a strange reaction to the unknown wisps of purple energy leftover from the Dragon that appeared above the planet a few days ago".
That detail caught everyone's attention and Genbu seeing that decided to elaborate "the forest for lack of the better word has gained some sort of sentience".
Everyone seemed confused about this new information and Seiryuu decided to ask for further information "what does that even mean?".
Genbu sighed "it means exactly what I said, the forest is alive and has taken over the outskirts of Kyoto, no one can enter because the forest itself attacks anyone that comes close to it".
Byakko frowned "then just burn it down or destroy it".
Genbu rubbed his eyes "don't you think we tried that already!? the forest is immune to Magic and every time we succeed in causing damage to it, the forest immediately heals and restores itself... we don't know what to think about all of this if I'm being honest, it's all rather too strange...".
Everyone silently stared at the Genbu Clan head who seemed very tired and stressed right now, Ouryuu decided to change the subject right now for Genbu's benefit "I found the Elders of my Clan making plans to force Isamu Nakashima back into the Clan by using his daughter Kaede Nakashima, I managed to stop some of them and exile the main perpetrator of those plans but... a few of my Clansman left the Clan to follow the Elder".
Ouryuu turned his head toward Suzaku "what do you think the chances are that this Rean would retaliate against the Nakiri Clan as a whole? I'm pretty sure the exiled Elder will soon try something and I want to know if I should prepare the Clan to defend itself".
Suzaku sighed "honestly I don't know... I investigated what happened after Rean left and we tended to the dead, some members of my Clan created an abomination in the form of a Curse, a truly horrendous thing and sent it to the Nakashimas...".
Everyone frowned at how affected Suzaku seemed to be about this whole thing while she continued to explaim " the fools used one of our Ritual rooms to create the Curse, I believe that Rean somehow took the Curse and not only sent it back but added to it with the sole purpose of making the Himejima Clan suffer in retaliation... honestly I can't blame him for that".
Suzaku shook her head "it was a truly disgusting thing the Himejima tried to do to the Nakashima... what I don't fully understand is why he stopped? that Curse would have no doubt destroyed the entire Clan with how powerful it was, and I think that was the intention behind it too but he suddenly stopped it".
The Clans Heads stared at Suzaku who had an odd expression on her face right now, Byakko suddenly raised a question "what sort of damage did the Curse do?".
Suzaku frowned and looked aways for a few seconds before turning her gaze back to the other four Clan heads " whatever Rean did to the Curse had a profound affect on the Clansman it hit and the area it spread around on... their deaths were either by horribly being melted, lost themselves in madness to kill their fellow Clansman or turned into dried up husks... it was nothing short of a catastrophe, the land where the Curse touched has been completely destroyed and tainted by the dark and evil energies of the curse as well, that land is now dead".
The Clans Heads couldn't help but gape at the sheer devastation brought about by a single individual retaliating against the Himejima Clan, it made them fear for their Clans as well, especially Ouryuu who had a obsessed exiled Elder running around "I have to do something before the actions of the exiled Elder bring the destruction of the Nakiri Clan...".
Suzaku nodded "yes, in fact I recommend all of you to make drastic changes within the Clans... we can't afford to allow old practices and outdated traditions to continue to risk the livelihood of the Five Great Principal Clans, if we do not do something about all of this we might someday provoke the ire of something we have no chance of protecting ourselves from".
The Clan Heads agreed with Suzaku, this has been going on long enough and they're not willing to risk their Clans on the arrogant and closed minded traditions of the Elders, not anymore will they allowed this to happen.
Suzaku turned her head towards Byakko "we're already on tin ice because of what happened to Tsubaki Shinra and Akeno Himejima, both the Devil Faction and Fallen Faction aren't happy with us and I can't blame them either".
Byakko nodded in agreement, what happened to Tsubaki was something he never agreed to, in fact he was disgusted with how his Clan exiled her for having a Sacred Gear, someone so talented was kicked out of the Shinra Clan because of something out of their control and he hated that.
Suzaku also looked down, she hated what had happened to Akeno and her aunt Shuri it was only because she intervened that her uncle Baraqiel didn't destroyed the Himejima Clan though he did killed the former Head of the Clan.
Suzaku then looked up and spoke up again "I also have one more piece of information that I feel is of the out most importance...".
Ouryuu, Genbu, Seiryuu and Byakko turned their heads towards Suzaku and gave her all of their attention, something in her voice told them that whatever she wanted to tell them was really important.
Suzako nodded to them when she noticed she had their full attention and then spoke up "at the time it didn't register but Rean introduced himself with a last name I didn't expect... he introduced himself as Rean Hayashi".
Everyone's eyes widen when they heard Rean's last name, Genbu who's Clan had been investigating the Hayashi Clan disappearance tense up "Rean Hayashi? that powerful young man that appeared before you and single handedly devasted the Himejima is a Hayashi I haven't heard off? it can't be...".
Ouryuu frowned and spoke up to Suzaku "what are the chances that Rean Hayashi, is from the Hayashi Clan?".
Suzaku shook her head "I don't know, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he is... I think I heard that the last Hayashi Heir left the clan years ago though no one knew why at the time".
Byakko looked up and seemed to be pondering something "the last Hayashi Heir?... I think his name was Tooru Hayashi, if I remember correctly he was heavily criticized because he married an non Japanese mage woman... I remember my father ranting about it for a while too".
Genbu nodded "oh! that's right! I think he pissed off a lot of the Clan Elders since they were hoping to marry their daughters to him to get into the Hayashi Clan".
Ouryuu "yeah I remember that... when, he had a son and the same thing happened as well but since he left the Hayashi Clan he literally gave everyone the middle finger, now he has one of the most powerful and influential companies in America and just recently brought that same company to Japan, it infuriated the Elders something fierce at having lost a chance at the Company as well".
Suzaku sighed "ignoring all of that chaos, what I find strange and suspicious is... if Rean really is a Hayashi and given how powerful he is, how come no one knows about him? I can't imagine someone like Hideyoshi Hayashi not boasting about his grandchild's power".
The Clans Heads nodded since they knew exactly how Hideyoshi worked and she raised a good question, Genbu suddenly came to a realization "you don't think he had anything to do with the disappearance of the Hayashi Clan do you?".
Suzaku frowned "I don't know but if he's really a Hayashi and given how powerful he seemed to be and how he seems to hold the Five Great Principal Clans in bad reputation, I wouldn't be surprised if he did destroyed the Hayashi Clan".
Genbu frowned and seemed frustrated but no one commented on it knowing, that he must be stressing about all of of this new information about something his Clan is investigating "damn... how the hell I am supposed to find out?".
Ouryuu spoke up next "I don't know but I don't recommend approaching him right now, he will consider anyone of the Five Great Principal Clans approaching him as a provocation".
No one wanted to give Rean any reason to futher come after their Clans which left them with a big predicament, Genbu sighed "I think it would be better to reach out to Tooru Hayashi instead, I know his company's Japanese branch in located in Kuoh".
Suzaku and Byakko frowned not liking the idea of intruding into Devil territory, Suzaku then spoke up "that's Devil territory and you know they don't have the best opinion of us right now, I think its best you ask Amaterasu-Sama for aid".
Genbu shook his head "I would but with what Seiryuu just told us what happened to her, I don't think she will be able to help us...".
Seiryuu looked at Genbu and nodded "yeah... you are investigating what happened to the Hayashi under her orders, but with her being injured and the Shinto trying to keep what happened to her a secret for now, it would be impossible to ask for aid".
Seiryuu sighed "she also physically can't help and the rest of the Shinto Gods wouldn't help us either... look what I'm about to say stays here, we can't afford this sort of information to leak in anyway or form".
The Clan Heads sighed knowing that they were about to get hit with more shocking information but decided to pay attention to Seiryuu, who sighed and proceeded to inform them of what's going on with Amaterasu"... as I told you Amaterasu-Sama has been severely injured and is right now in a coma in Takamagahara from said injuries".
The Clans Heads couldn't help but all yell at the same time, one single word "what!?".
Seiryuu winced at the volume of his fellow Clan Heads but he couldn't blame them for their reactions "yes... appearantly Amaterasu-Sama went to Kyoto to demand answers about the appearance of the massive Dragon to Lady Yasaka, according with what I was told Amaterasu-Sama grew frustrated because of the demands and threats from the other Factions and when Yasaka didn't have answers she got heavy handed".
Ouryuu held his hand up "wait... don't tell me Lady Yasaka was the one who injured Amaterasu-Sama, that's impossible even for a Ninetailed Fox...".
Seiryuu nodded in agreement to Ouryuu, Ninetailed Foxes might be powerful but not enough to harm a God "it wasn't Yasaka, according to Amaterasu-Sama before she passed out, when she raised her power and voice at Yasaka she was suddenly attacked by a two flying creatures, a silver white Dragon like being and a Rainbow hued bird, these two creatures not only were able to injure Amaterasu-Sama but completely overpowered her and no one knows what they are either..."
Everyone just stared at Seiryuu in stunned silence until Byakko suddenly said what everyone was thinking right now "just what the hell is going on here?..."
The school day was finally over for Kaede and she was excited to continue training, it's been a fun couple of days for her since Rean, Charizard and Lucario started teaching her how to fight and all sort of fun spells and techniques.
Sure she was having a hard time controlling her strength but she was feeling mighty good about her progress, however at this moment she was facing her worst enemy, her one and true nemesis.
Her school's glass main building door silently stayed unmoving even when Kaede was glaring at it, both Umbreon and Espeon were deadpanning at her and her dramatics but decided to wait and see what she did.
Kaede then turned her head towards Espeon and gave her a Puppy eye technique "please Espeon! open the door with Psychic!".
But Espeon had suffered the effects of the Puppy eyes techniques from true heavy weights like Kunou and Weine, so she was completely unaffected by Kaede's, so the Psychic Type Pokemon shook her head.
Kaede sighed and slump "... I know I'm supposed to try and control my strength but it's so hard!" Umbreon huffed and used Faint Attack to appear on the other side of the door where he took a sit and stared at Kaede with a deadpan.
Kaede sweatdropped at the ease Umbreon just solved her predicament "Mr Grumpy! that's not fair! I can't used that attack...".
Kaede looked at Umbreon in pure betrayal but the Dark Type Pokemon just licked his paws and groomed himself ignoring Kaede complaints which just made Kaede slump even more "I guess I should just give it a try...".
Kaede stared at the door with apprehension and a bit of fear, slowly she reached for the handle and grabbed it as gently as possible, when she saw that she was able to grab the handle lightly she couldn't help but smile.
Feeling a bit confident about herself, the little Oni in human form pulled the door as slowly as she could, only for the glass door to suddenly loudly crack and then shatter leaving only the door handle on her hand.
Umbreon deadpanned at Kaede and huffed while Espeon just tilted her head, Kaede though was gaping and had tears building up in her eyes "... why?...".
That was the scene I arrive to and I couldn't help but stare at the destruction before me, it wasn't just the door that was made of glass but also the entire side of the school building so as the door shattered the rest of the glass cracked as well.
Kaede must have sensed me because she looked up and stared at me for a few seconds before big fat tears began to fall from her "Rean... I did it again...".
I chuckled and walked up to her, once I got close to Kaede I decided to try and cheer her up with a headpat, which sort of worked because she was loudly sniff and rubbing her eyes while I did so "it's okay Kaede, you just awakened to your power so it will take a while for you to get used to your new strength even when we're using Time Dilation wards this sort of thing takes time, just keep trying okay?".
Kaede nodded while a waved a hand and reverse time around us, that fixed the glass door and wall, luckily Kaede decided to wait until pretty much everyone in school had either gone home or to their clubs so no one saw her destroy the main building door.
Sure it wouldn't have matter if they did because Espeon would have erased their memories, but it was a good thing she was thinking about these sort of situations before hand.
Still now I had I crying and frustrated Oni in my hands and that's never a good thing, so I decided to cheer her up by summoning a Pokémon she hasn't seen yet "come on Kaede let go home".
Kaede just nodded and sniffed a bit but walked out the school since I was holding the door open for her, once outside I summoned the Pokémon I wanted her to meet "come! Suicune!".
The majestic Water Type Pokemon appeared in front of me in a flash of white light and stood before us while the wind began to blow against her, this made Suicune's mane blow in the wind beautifully.
It all made for a very beautiful sight, one that caught Kaede's attention, seeing that my distraction worked and that Kaede wasn't crying anymore I decided to say hello to my Legendary Pokémon.
So I walked up to Suicune and gave her a gentle headpat and a chin scratch, this made Suicune smiled and rub her headed against my chest "hey Suicune, I want you to meet a new friend of mine".
Suicune looked up at my face and nodded to let me know that she understood what I just told her, I smiled and step aside showing Kaede to Suicune, who was actually still staring at her in awe "this is Kaede Nakashima, she's my friend and I'm protecting her for now".
Suicune tilted her head towards Kaede and then turned her head towards me, she then barked at me "ah so you noticed, that's right she's not human but right now she's a little frustrated because she can control her strength yet, why don't you cheer her up a bit?".
Suicune nodded and then walked up to Kaede who was still in awe, I don't blame her though, Suicune is a very beautiful and majestic Pokemon after all.
Suicune walked up to Kaede and then rubbed her head on her chest, Kaede began to gently pet her out reflex and I couldn't help but grin when I saw her being very careful not to hurt Suicune.
She didn't need to worry though, her current strength is nowhere hight enough to be able to hurt one of Pokémon much less a Legendary one, but I'm happy to see that she's unconsciously controlling her strength, she just needs to notice that she can do it.
Suicune cheerfully barked as she enjoyed the attention which made Kaede smiled "Rean! what Pokemon is this? it's beautiful!".
I smiled at her excitement "that's Suicune and she is what is know as a Legendary Pokémon".
Kaede's eyes widen, during our talks during her lunch break or over dinner at the Nakashima household she always asks me about Pokémon, so I've been explaining things little by little.
She knows what Legendary Pokémon and she had been very surprised of the fact that they were considered Deities, she was even more surprised when I told her that Mew is also a Legendary Pokémon.
I don't blame her for being surprised though, Mew is such a cute and cheerful Pokémon that it's easy to forget her status as a Legendary Pokémon, especially when she just happy to take naps on your lap like a cat.
Kaede turned her head towards Suicune who layed down on the ground and stared up at her "so your a Legendary Pokémon?".
Suicune nodded and barked in confirmation which made Kaede beam a wide smile at her, I don't think she noticed it yet, but she has been understanding Pokémon lately.
Kaede suddenly grabbed her backpack and opened it to look inside, laying at the bottom and taking a naps besides a few of her school books was none other than Rotomdex taking a nap, now why would a Ghost Type Pokémon need to sleep?.
I don't really know, maybe that's just how he charges his electrical energy but there he is snoring away inside Kaede's backpack, she's been taking him everywhere she goes lately to learn more about Pokémon since she is going to become a Trainer soon.
Her Pokémon egg is at home and Hanako is taking care of it while Kaede is at school or training but besides that, Kaede spends a lot of her time with her Pokémon egg and walking around with it in her arms.
I've noticed that the egg would move around once in a while so it should be getting close to hatching and that's something that has Kaede very excited.
I saw Kaede gently grab Rotomdex who woke up when the sunlight hit his eyes "bzzt? oh good morning Kaede".
Kaede smiled "good morning Rotomdex~ can you help and give me the information on Suicune?".
Rotomdex smiled and floated away from Kaede's hands "bzzt! of course! give me a second!".
Rotomdex then turned his body towards Suicune and quickly scanned her "bzzt! Suicune, the Aurora Pokémon, a Water Type.
Suicune is a slim, quadrupedal, blue, mammalian Pokémon with white, diamond-shaped markings, its face and underside are white as well and it has a thick, purple mane that resembles the aurora borealis and two white, streamer-like tails that wave forward, it has a long, white snout as well.
Suicune also has a large, hexagonal, cerulean blue crest on its forehead with two prongs on either side of the base and it has red eyes, a small tuft of fur under its chin, and small paws with white paw pads.
This Legendary Pokémon has the power to walk across water and purify dirty water with one touch, it travels across grasslands in search of water to purify by following the north wind.
Northern winds always seem to blow stronger in its presence, Suicune is also said to be the closest of the Legendary beasts to Ho-Oh.
It is also said to have a link to the Unown, Suicune is known to be heroic, serious, and calm during dangerous situations.
This majestic Water Type Legendary Pokémon is believed to be both the embodiment of the north winds and compassion of pure spring waters bzzt!".
Kaede's eyes sparkled and she had a very happy and wide smile on her face, she walked up to Suicune and gently grabbed one of her leg, she then proceeded to inspect the pads on her paws "you can walk on water? that's amazing~ I wonder if it's something to do with your paw pads or if it's just you manipulating the water under you".
Suicune smiled and let Kaede inspect her, Keade of course got completely absorbed with her inspection and was now gently running her hand on Suicune's mane "it does look like an Aurora borealis... it's beautiful~".
Kaede then moved to Suicune's streamers like tail and gently inspect them "these reminds me of Sylveon's ribbons... I wonder if you can moved them like she does?".
*Huh? that's actually a good question... I know there's this theory about how Entei, Suicune and Raikou were a Flareon, Vaporeon and a Jolteon before being reborn thanks to Ho-oh but perhaps there's some truth to that theory if there's some similarities betweenthe Legendary Beasts and Eeveelutions*.
Suicune tilted her head and then began to move her tails like a pair of very limber limbs almost as if they were hands, she even looked surprised that she could do that too, the very surprised look in her face is a crystal sign of this.
Kaede giggle "looks like you didn't know you could that huh?" Suicune just barked at Kaede letting her know that she was correct with her assumption.
I chuckled at the whole situation *to think that a Legendary Pokémon would learn something new about itself at this point in their life, surprises never cease*.
But it was time to go home and continue training "come on Kaede let's get you home, you have your homework to do and training as well".
Kaede nodded and stood up, Suicune got up and then bit into Kaede's back collar and then threw her onto her back, the whole thing was so sudden that Kaede couldn't help but squeak in surprise until she ended up riding on Suicune's back.
Suicune began walking with me by her side while Kaede had a big smile on her face, both Umbreon and Espeon followed us close behind while making sure to keep an eye for anything as we headed to the Nakashima household.
Meanwhile the exiled Nakiri Elder was sitting on a leather chair behind his desk, this past few days were a roller-coaster for him and the members of Clan that chose to follow him to glory.
A lot has been happening lately, so much in fact that he has been unable to go through his plans, for one news about the devastation of the Himejima Clan reached his ears through one of his spies.
Even thought the Clans weren't allies per say, they still respected and somewhat helped each other when needed, so to hear that one of the most powerful and oldest Clans in Japan was almost destroyed was a very concerning.
Especially to a Elder like him, but that wasn't the only thing that happened, a massive Dragon appeared out of nowhere and it's massive head was so close that he was able to feel its breath on his face.
The appearance of this massive Dragon was enough to scare a few of his fellow Clansman, he couldn't blame them when they chose to leave not wanting to anger whatever that Dragon was by intruding its territory.
So now he had even less men to work with, but he was going to have to make do with what he had and continued with his plans to make Isamu see reason.
He would succeed even if he had to handle everything himself, he will have Isamu rejoining the Nakiri and for that he needed that abomination that is his daughter "soon... soon we'll move forward and fix everything...".
The couple of days went by again and the weekend finally arrived, by now Kaede has spent a week and some days training with me, Charizard and Lucario.
It really is a surprise how fast she's learning everything we teach her and how proficient she has become with her elements, she tends to favor Fire over Earth but I think that's because as an Oni she's more comfortable using physical attacks rather than magical ones.
Most of her Earth element skills are spells while her Fire skills are physical so she must be unconsciously using more Fire than Earth, though she does have a few physical Ground and Rock Type attacks.
In any case since it's been a week since she began her training I think its time she tackles on that Monster Fortress and because it's the weekend, that means we can go early in the morning.
So after breakfast and resting a bit we decided to go to Gaea's Great Labyrinth and see how she does now against the monsters in the first floor and in the Fortress.
Kaede still has a bit of a problem with her strength but she's getting the hang of it, so she's been breaking stuff less often now, but one thing I had to prepare for this Dungeon Diving today was a set of special clothes.
As an Oni with a big amount of strength she tends to destroy her clothes pretty often and that something Kaede really hates, sure I can fix them afterwards but the embarrassment of flashing me all the time was too much for her.
So I been preparing a set of Adventurers clothes for her for a few days now, I went to My Pokéhome a few nights ago and got a bunch of Silk and Cloth from Ariados webbing and Mareep wool.
Last night I finished making these clothes for Kaede and I wanted her to try them out for this Dungeon Diving, so before we began I told her to go the backyard, once there I began to explain what I had prepared for her "alright before we begin with today's objectives, I have a gift for you".
Kaede smiled as I handed her a box, she took it and immediately opened it, inside the box is a whole complete outfit with few accessories and even a pair of boots I made with the Xeno's help.
The Xeno who stay at the Pokéhome have been getting really good at making all sorts of stuff out Pokémon materials and they have even found all sorts of Pokemon materials for me to play around with.
Things like fur shedding, scales, fangs and even a whole Scizor molt, which was a big surprise caused I didn't know Scizor molts, in any case now I had all sort of cool Pokémon Materials that when used in the creation of weapons, clothes, accessories and armor with high stats and even special effects.
Right now I have the Xeno collect everything they find and stock pile it in a special storage room I prepared with a stasis and preservation wards, that way whatever material they find will stay safe and won't spoil or get damaged by time.
But right now that wasn't important, not when Kaede was staring at her new outfit with wide eyes full of awe "Rean... where did you get these? they look so well made and expensive...".
Kaede ran a hand over the clothes and smiled at the softness of the materials, it made me happy to see she likes the clothes I made out of Pokémon Silk and Wool, this materials are very soft and durable which is why I always use it to make outfits and why there very popular wheneverI make them.
Plus using these materials gives a boost in Defense and Magical defense so its almost as good as having a set of armor nn "I made them the last couple of days".
Kaedr gaped at me "you made these?".
I nodded and Kaede looked at me weirdly "Rean, these are very well made and mean designer well made, do you know how crazy it is that you made them?".
I tilted my head in curiosity, I knew I'm good at making clothes sure, but designer good? I didn't think so, the clothes and gear I make are functional and simple at best and while I can make extravagant outfits like the maid uniforms I've made before, I didn't think they were anything that special in looks.
To be honest I mostly focus in the fact that I can enchant whatever I make with all sorts of effects rather than their designs, so I shrugged at Kaede not really caring about that "well I made them for when you go Dungeon Diving, so their more akin to Adventurer gear than regular clothes plus they have all kinds of special effects that will help you while you are fighting in the Labyrinth".
Kaede hummed "still Rean, it's amazing that you can make things like these clothes...".
I smiled at Kaede "wait until I tell you their effects and the materials they're made off, it's going to blow your mind but for now why don't you go change and try them out?".
Kaede nodded and took the box with her new clothes back inside the house as she headed back to her room to change, meanwhile I stayed with Charizard 'who is carrying Kaede's Pokémon egg' Lucario and both Umbreon and Espeon.
Charizard softly growled at me and I nodded at him "she will be fine, she's strong... stronger than she knows and the fact that she seems to have a talent for battle is proof of that".
Charizard nodded and then looked down at Keade's Pokémon egg, the egg suddenly shook and glowed a bit which made Charizard grin and softly growled, I smiled and nodded "yeah, that little one will hatch soon, he or she is going to be a handful".
Charizard happily growled and nodded, Lucario crossed his arms and the barked at me "yeah I noticed too, it seems like Kaede's Elements have begun to merge together, though I doubt she has noticed it yet".
Lucario nodded while Espeon tilted her head and looked at me with a confused expression on her face, that expression let me know she wanted to know what I meant but I wanted to keep that a surprise "your going to have to wait and see when whatever is happening to Kaede's Elements finishes happening".
Espeon pouted at me which caused me to chuckle, Umbreon rolled his eyes and then put one his paws onto of Espeon's head and pushed causing her to face plant the ground.
Espeon just sighed and stayed like that not really feeling like getting into it with Mr Grumpy which made Umbreon grin in victory, I smiled and then looked up at the sky "today is going to be a very busy day...".
