Prologue: The Letter
The bright morning sun lifted over a small cliffside area shaped like a shark-like Pokémon known as Sharpedo. It was early in the morning and very quiet and most Pokémon were still asleep. Even the guild-members from the guild at the other side of a small town were still asleep. So it was strange when a small, brown, fox-like Pokémon climbed out from under the top of the cliff with her blue scarf on and treasure bag as if she was going on an exploration.
When the eevee walked out of the hole in the ground she immediately closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze contrasting with the

Chapter 1: Meeting Elvin
The team walked through the forest until they reached the dark blue waters with the bright lit center of Luminous Spring. The place itself was in the thick of the forest so even though it was the middle of the day the area looked like it was in the dark of night. The grass was also tall and thick around the lake, fed by the rainfall that the place gets.
When the three entered the clearing Eon told Axle and Shaymin, “Elvin told me he’d meet me first to help me get in the village.”
After telling them that, Eon stood forward and while she looked around for any sign of him she called out, “Elvin

Team Aura and Elvin began walking through the dirt roads Elemental Village. Axle and Shaymin looked around the village with awe on their faces while Elvin and Eon just continued their walk as normal. After a couple of seconds of looking at that, Axle finally spoke.
“Interesting place,” he said. “By the looks of things, all the trees are hallowed out houses. And if I had my guess, the boulders also follow the same function. That’s a rather interesting way of keeping this place hidden. It’s through the thick of trees to keep most travelers from coming and the natural look of the place

Chapter 3: Homeward Bound
Team Aura walked out of the meeting hall and were walking their way out of the village when they heard the sound of paws running towards their direction. The team looked back to see the leafeon and vaporeon from earlier along with Elvin running up to them. Eon stopped so the rest of her team stopped and they all waited for the three Pokémon to catch up to them.
“M-mom…dad,” Eon said when the three got close enough.
“So, those were her parents,” Axle mumbled to nobody in particular.
“Eon…what the heck was that?” Elvin asked. “You…and you…what?!

Chapter 4: First Inquires
The morning light shone into Axle’s room in Leif’s house, waking him up. Axle immediately noticed when he got up that Elvin and Shaymin, who were sleeping in the same room, both weren’t there anymore. The riolu decided it wasn’t worth worrying about immediately though and got up and stretched before opening the door and walking out of his room. When he did he noticed Eon also walking out of her room. The eevee looked tired, but otherwise fine.
“Hey Eon,” Axle said. “Morning.”
“Morning Axle,” Eon said. “Where’s Elvin and Shaymin.”

Chapter 5: Elvin's Reasons
With searching through Town Hall being a bust, Axle and Eon continued their walk through town to find any clue as to the village’s fear of outsiders. The two of them decided to search around the border of the town this time, in hopes of finding some clue as to where the secrets for why that is lies. So they went towards the southern border and walked counterclockwise around the village.
“Find anything yet Axle?” Eon asked as they walked.
“No, unfortunately nothing,” Axle answered. He kept moving his head to and fro as they walked, making sure not to miss even the slightest detail.

Chapter 6: Elvin and Axle's Chat
Elvin ran quickly until he saw the team walking along in front of him. The silver eevee than sped up until he finally got within shouting distance of the team. With that, while still running, he yelled out at the top of his lungs.
“HEY! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!”
The riolu, eevee, and shaymin looked back at the noise, giving Elvin the chance to catch up to them. When he did, Elvin quickly lowered his head to the ground and panted for a couple of seconds, catching his breath. After those seconds ticked by, he looked back at the trio to see them all looking at him.

“So Elvin will really show us then?” Eon asked while she, Axle, and Shaymin were all walking towards where Elvin told them to go. “That’s…great I guess.”
Axle looked back at Eon and noticed her nervousness. “You don’t to be worried. No matter what you learn, it won’t change anything. If anything, it might help us work for the trust of the villagers easier.”
“I…know it’s just…” Eon looked back for a bit. “I guess now that I’m finally learning the truth…I’m a little nervous. I mean, this is a b

With their various resolutions in mind, Team Aura spend the next few days preparing for their battle at the end of the week. While getting ready for their battle, they did all do their best to try to get the villagers to be less suspicious of the team, but they didn’t get much progress on that. Axle, Eon, and Shaymin all tried their best, but aside from doing one or two odd jobs they were mostly ignored.
It was two days before Elvin’s Ceremony when Eon finally let out her frustrations in her house. Axle was on the bottom steps of the staircase watching everything, Eon was in the main entryway along wit

Chapter 9: The Battle
The battleground, a large field surrounded by wooden stands filled with eeveelutions, was set and Team Aura was waiting in one of two tents that were on both sides of the field. Eon was pacing around the room they were in, Shaymin sitting there waiting for the inevitable, and Axle was looking out the door, trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of their still mysterious third opponent.
“See anything yet, Axle?” Eon asked, stopping her pacing to give a hopeful glance in Axle’s direction.
“Nope,” Axle answered, still not taking his eyes away from the outside. “Sorry. Even when thei
