Chapter 16

Faith decided to train as a Flareon next to avoid being greedy again. She decided to try to improve on her Ember attack. After a while, she decided to challenge herself again. "How about I try a Flamethrower next" she thought.

Suddenly, a Flareon approached her. "Hello Faith, would you want to train with us?"

"Pyro? Um... Sure. I mean I was planning on training anyways" she answered, deciding to join the Flareon.

"That's good." Pyro smiled.

"Well what move are you planning on learning?"

"Flamethrower" Faith answered.

"Are you sure you want to learn that move so soon. It can be a little complicating for a beginner like you. How about we try something a little easier, like Fire Fang" Pyro told her.

"Alright let's go with Fire Fang then" Faith decided.

"Now this is how to use the attack" Pyro said. He runs toward a rock and bites it in to pieces with a mouth full of red-orange fire. "Now you try."

Faith tries to do exactly what Pyro does, but the attack failed. Instead of biting the rock with fire, she full on bit the rock. "Ow..." she moaned.

"You did the attack wrong" Pyro told her.

"You think!!!" She growled.

At that moment, Faith could have sworn that she heard Nova's voice in the wind, "keep control of your temper."

"Okay, so I must have a sin I should be watching out for in this form. What was it again?" Faith tried to remember the seven sins until she got it. "Wrath... That must be it ..."

"Do you want to try again or not?" Pyro asked Faith.

"Huh? Oh, yes! Of course I do" she replied, determinedly.

Faith attempted to try Fire Fang again. Only to have it fail again. "Uhhhhh...." Faith groaned with frustration.

"Come on, Faith, try it one more time. The third time's the charm. I guarantee that you'll do it this time" Pyro told her encouragingly.

"Third times the charm... I'll try it one more time" Faith said.

"That's the spirit, Faith" Pyro told her.

Faith tried it one more time. Finally, she bit the rock with Flame-cloaked fangs and it burst into pieces.

"I did it!! I did it, Pyro!! I finally did it!!! I learned a new move!!" She jumped around with excitement.

"Good job Faith" she could hear Nova's voice tell her.

"Well done, kid" Pyro tells her.

"I'm so proud of you, Faith." A Flareon who was watching them told her.

"Thanks Pyro and Ruby... You too Nova..."

"Your welcome, Faith" Pyro and Ruby replied.

Serena and Lillie rushed towards Faith. "Congrats on learning a new move Faith. You've gotten much stronger" Serena said.

"Thanks" Faith replied.

"Would you want to play with us for a while?" Lillie asked.

"Sure why not" Faith decided.

"Yay!! Come on let's play Chase. Faith is the chaser" Lillie said.

Lillie and Serena ran away from Faith as she tries to catch them. She was right at Lillie's tail before she used Quick Attack to get away.

"Hey!!! I'm gonna get you this time Lillie!!" Faith tells her.

"Doubt it" Lillie giggled.

Faith chases Lillie around the village until she finally decided to give up on catching her and go for Serena instead.

"I'm going to get you Serena." Faith cried.

"Catch me if you can, Slowpoke" She taunted playfully.

Faith gains on Serena fast until she unexpectedly turned and made her run into a tree face first.

"Faith, are you okay? I didn't mean to-"

"No I'm not!!! I'm sick of playing these games with little kids!!" She snapped, her body becoming hotter in rage.

"Faith? We're sorry... Just chill" Lillie tells her.

"Chill!!! You expect me to chill?! I don't think so!!" Faith yelled. She tackled Serena to the ground and attacked her with a Fire Fang to the neck. Serena screamed in pain as Faith bites harder.

"Faith stop!!! This isn't like you!!" Lillie cried.

"It's because I'm not the shy and innocent Eevee I used to be anymore!!!" She shouted.

She ignored Nova's voice yelling at her. "Faith stop!!! Your wrath has taken control of you!!! Listen to me!!!!"

Faith still didn't listen to Nova. Nova had no choice but to go inside Faith's body and take the stone out by force. Faith was her Eevee self again and she found out what she has done. She has given into Wrath. She saw Nova's spirit giving her an angry look before disappearing and leaving the stone with her.

"What have I done?!" She thought to herself.

Suddenly, a Sylveon rushed towards Serena. "My poor daughter!!! What have you done Faith!!" She shouted.

"I'm sorry, Skyla... It was an accident..." Faith told her.

"Yeah, sure it was" Skyla replied in disbelief. She gently picked Serena up with her bows and carried her to the nurse.

Faith looked down to the ground sullenly. Later that day, she decided to run into the forest, not looking back at the Eevee Village, carrying the three evolution stones in the bowl with her.

She looked into her reflection of the pond and saw herself as the Flareon that attacked her friend. She dropped the stones in the water and watched them sink to the ground, never to be seen again. She saw raindrops hit the water but she didn't care. She continued running through the forest not knowing where she was going. She came across a fallen tree as she walked passed it. She was getting wet due to the fact that it was now pouring rain.

Unbeknownst to Faith, the spirits were watching her. They didn't know what to do to help. All Faith could think about was attacking Serena because of her rage. She didn't think about how the spirits thought of her now. Did they do the right thing to give her the power?

Sakura decided to do something. "Faith..." She called.

Faith didn't listen.

"Faith..." She called again.

Still nothing.

Sakura knew that calling her name wouldn't get her attention so she tried appearing right in front of her, only to have her run right through her.

"Faith...!!! Please listen to me!!! This isn't what Clairvoya would have wanted" Sakura replied. That got Faith's attention as she stopped in her tracks.

"What do you mean?" Faith asked.

"I mean that Clairvoya wouldn't have wanted you to run away from your fears. You must face them. You must go back to the village and make things right. You must help your friend. She needs you." Sakura said.

"No, she doesn't. I hurt her." Faith replied.

"So, you made a mistake. It's not a big deal. Everyone makes mistakes. The village needs you. Without your help, the village will fall. You don't want to fail the promise you made to Sino and Clairvoya, do you?" Sakura asked.

"No, I don't..." Faith answered.

"Well, then go back to the village. Show them that you are strong." Sakura tells her.

Nova, Neville and Biff appeared to give the stones she dropped back. Faith looked at the spirits. "You're right, I can't give up."

"That's the spirit, Faith. Well... go on... return back to whence you came. There's still a prophecy to uphold." Sakura told her.

Faith puts the stones back in the bowl and ran back to the village.
