"Admit it aren't you glad I left the hospital. It's gorgeous here!" I said leaning on the railing of lighthouse, Milotic lighthouse, named after the view stretch across in front of it. My second contest was a few miles away but the walk was through these woods that apparently was haunted.

I leaned against the railing letting the sea spray splash my face. It was cold and made me smile. Not because the was cold but because of what made the water spray. A herd of Milotic pushed out of the water. Their shiny scales gave off a bright gleam that lit up our faces. They spun the air, as if putting of a show, The spray water flick across my face, then I heard voices again.

"It's the princess!" Tons of voices saying that over and over again. It wasn't loud but something about the voices made me thinks of the Milotic.

Then one the Milotic jumped higher in the rest. It was smaller then the rest but had something about that made me want to swim with it. What was stopping me, the water was deep and I wasn't high up. Then again there was a reason there was a lighthouse. As I toyed with idea, the littlest Milotic, jumped high again, quiet close to railing. It looked me in the eye and I heard another voice, an almost young one.

"Come play with us." Then she dove back. That made my answer, weird as it was, I climb on the railing taking of my jacket.

"What are you doing?" Said Lucas with a smug voice.

"What do you think? I'm going to go play" Then I dived. I hit that water quick with small splash. As I began to swim to the surface the little Milotic, swam beneath me pulling me up. I clung to her side as she broke the through the water with her nose, we went into the air, the setting sun glinting on the water droplet, looking like fireworks.

I looked up at the Lighthouse but no one was there, then I looked on the beach. Their they were Lucas, Umbreon and Espeon were watching me. Lucas took off his jacket throwing next to mine, before swimming toward me. Espeon and Umbreon stayed on the shore slashing in the tide. When Lucas was close enough to the Milotic, the littlest one swam under him. When we bobbed up, Lucas clung to the side opposite me. This was the best idea ever.

When the sun finally set the moon came out, the Milotic began to swim away. When the final six remanded I looked at the little Milotic, she looked back with his big red eyes.

"Would you like to travel with me?" I said, Lucas looked at me like I was crazy, I probably was too. I kept my eyes fixed on her, please don't ask me how I knew that she was a girl.

She gave a jerk nodded and I smiled.

"Beth what- how-" Lucas looked totally confused. I gave an innocent smile and shrugged. His mouth was hanging around his knees. "At least battle it and prove yourself to have earned it." I looked at Lucas and then to Milotic, another jerk nodded.

When I climbed out I realized that I needed Torkoal's ember to dry off. That could wait a while at least. I slipped on my jacket letting the heat spread through me, then off course Umbreon and Espeon shook their fur dry getting the jacket wet.

I walked back in the water to where it was deep enough for Milotic, up to my knees. "Are you sure you want to come?" I said ignore the eye rolling I was surly getting.

I heard the child like voice again." Yes I was born to protect the princess from harm." This made me jump back about a foot. Okay I was officially talking to a pokemon. I can remain calm, I totally can.

I took a breath and nodded to the herd. The voice came again, "They agree with this and I want to travel with humans." I stroked he nose, desperate to remain clam, then called top Umbreon.

Milotic was quick and attacked first, with Twister.

"Umbreon dodge!" I looked at Umbreon as she skittered across the water. "Quick attack then shadow ball!" Umbreon did as she was told but Milotic was quick, well maybe not quick enough.

The quick attack hit her and she tumbled into the water. Then a water pulse shot out. The shadow ball smacked it making a huge wave smack me. I looked for Umbreon; she was safely on a rock untouched.

"Umbreon confusion ray!" The purple wave hit Milotic. Perfect.

While Milotic was confused I threw the pokeball. She was in the ball gave three shakes before going white.

"Sweet!" I punched a fist the air. I had a Milotic, a fast one too. But with the small glitch that I could talk to her.
