"And I was fired from my job," Rapidash said. "That's terrible," Espeon said, "Why were you fired?" "I tried to explain why I was late," Rapidash said, "but he doesn't believe me." Rapidash had nothing else to say and took a nap. Rapidash woke up and noticed the living room was dark. "Wow, I overslept," Rapidash said, "I'll get a snack and go to bed." Rapidash fell asleep on his bed and had good dreams. Rapidash woke up and walked to the kitchen. "Espeon, Umbreon," Rapidash called, "Where are you two?" "Rapidash!" Spike said opening the door. Spike was holding a letter and Rapidash knew it was for him. "A letter for me?" Rapidash asked. Spike cleared his throat to read the letter. " 'Dear Rapidash, I am on my way to Ponyville to take it over. Espeon and Umbreon have gone to try stop me. By the time you read this they will probably be dead. Try to stop me and I will kill you. The evil bird, Ho-Oh' " "That jerk!" Rapidash said. Rapidash ran out of his house. "Haha," Ho-Oh laughed, "So, Rapidash you want to stop me." "Where are Espeon and Umbreon?" Rapidash asked. Ho-Oh just laughed at what was asked. "The went back to Johto," Ho-Oh said. Rapidash blasted fire at Ho-Oh. "You can't beat me!" Ho-Oh yelled. The battle went on and Rapidash didn't stand a chance. "No, I can't lose!" Rapidash said. Rapidash was weakened and fell unconscious. Mt. Silver 1F, Johto 8 years ago "Finally we're here," the daytime Eevee said. The Slowpoke had brought them to Mt.
