Espeon: Prime Detective Chap.1

1

Whoa, he thought.  It wasn't as much as a thinking feeling but a listening feeling. Had someone else said that?  This confirmed someone else had not said it, but he still felt that his voice was much farther away than it should be.
I don't remember anything. I…I feel that I may be…Water. He decided. I am some type of water. Lake. He concluded. I'm some type of lake.
He was not a lake. He was water. All water. Any water.

"How's Suicune?" Entei asked.
"Not as well as I hoped," Said Espeon. "The poison is making his brain lose contact with his body."
"I...Don't know what I'd do without him." said Meganium. "I can't take care of Chikorita and Bayleef without him." Entei went into the small building to their right.
Espeon looked worried. She was Meganium's friend from training. They had been released after they got too old to battle efficiently. Meganium had settled down and married Suicune, whereas Espeon pursued a career in medicine.
"I studied medicine for poison for years alongside Chancy, but this poison…It's different from the other poisons I've studied." She said."Is Raikou awake yet?"
Entei returned, "She's finally awake, yes" He interjected.
Espeon went in the small wooden door. Inside had a living room, with four other rooms attached. They went in a group into the one on the far right, labeled "Raikou's Burrow".  Raikou was sitting up on her bed looking confused. Espeon walked up to the bed and sat down. Everyone else left the room.
"Do you remember what happened yesterday when you went to the forest with Suicune?" asked Espeon.
"Someone was there...Who was there?" said Raikou, getting more and more agitated.
"Calm down, Raikou."
Raikou, soothed by her old friend Espeon's voice, let her anger fall. "We went into the forest, and then made our way to Farfetch'd's Tree home." Raikou explained.
"And then?"
"Poison.  Lots and lots of poison."
"Do you know where it came from? It's okay if you don't." Espeon assured.
"It was…Who I can't remember. That person who was there!"
"Don't worry yourself with it. Do you remember carrying Suicune back to the house?"
"Yes…I collapsed as soon as I reached the front door." Raikou said, swaying.
"You need rest." Espeon stated. "Tomorrow, when you have slept, we will talk again."
As soon as Espeon left the room Meganium came up to her and asked her what Raikou said.
"Just as I had expected, she remembers only what we know." Espeon replied "I'm going to the forest to see if there is anything suspicious around the area that they were attacked. I'm also going to go the village to buy antidote."
"Please be careful" Said Meganium. She wasn't used to one person getting ill, and two would be terrible for her at the moment.
"I will. I promise."
And with that she left off into the forest.

The next day

After camping for the night, Espeon was ready to enter the forest. This had always given her an ominous feeling based on the fact you could see no farther than two feet ahead of yourself for the first 50 feet at the edges of to forest.
This could be why Raikou and Suicune didn't see the attack coming. But there is always a possibility that that is not the case at all.
By this point she had made it out of that no-see range and was close to Farfetch'd's home.
Something shiny caught her eye in the bushes. See went to pick it up, to find it was much too heavy for her petite figure. She was able to slowly shove it out of the bushes, however this took much time.
This is not something I should find in the forest, she thought as soon as she had it out of the bushes. It was an object that seemed to be used for dispersing something very thoroughly.
It's as if you're supposed to use a move through it and it will spread poison everywhere! She though, astonished. All someone would have to do is use poison powder in order to spread it!
A new thought came to mind. Espeon's gem on her forehead shined, and then a multi-colored beam shot out of her gem. When it hit the device in front of her it blew into a million pieces that fell down to the ground like bits of sunlight.
Who knew.  A high-tech sifter. She thought as she walked to Farfetch'd's nest.
"Farfetch'd!" she called.
No reply.
She called again.
No reply.
She climbed up the ladder on the front of the tree. Farfetched was lying on his bed, shivering. His cheeks were purple. ,The Poison got him too. That means that he had nothing to do with it. She could tell he was not badly poisoned, so she gave him that last bit of antidote she had left. That'll do it. I'll check on him later when I come back through the forest.
She headed on through the forest and went to the store, as always uneventfully. She came back through the forest, once again uneventfully. When she stopped by Farfetch'd's home again he could hear him muttering.
"Drrat, thet's whut it is. Theh Doctars stap bye ahn dohn't evn' wehk meh up tah sey they gehve meh an antidohte."
"Farfetch'd! It was me who gave you the antidote!" Espeon called.
Farfetch'd came out of his home. "Ehspeohn? Eht wahs yeh? Thehnks to yeh! Ahlthehw aye stehll dohn't knoeh haew aye gaht poisohned!" Farfetch'd rambled.
"Suicune got poisoned too and I brought the leftover antidote for no obvious reason. I'm glad I did!"Espeon called.
"Wehll thehnks yeh agehn, buht aye hahve teh be ohn me weh!" Farfetch'd flew up into the tree.
"Good bye!" Espeon called, and took off toward her friends' house.
