BAINZAI! /O-O)/
For a situation like this, I found myself pulling yet another meme "Wat." I said with my eye twitching as Black just deadpanned as the other 'humans' (I don't think of myself as….human no more?) dashed off into the wilderness without a second thought that they might accidentally trip and eat a mouth full of dirt or something right after Bianca and White decided to have a 'Pokémon Catching!' competition.
Professor Juniper sweatdroped, a Poke-ball in hand containing a random dog-like Pokémon I didn't know the name off she has captured for the sake of showing off how to capture a Pokémon (As if no one already knew that, seriously.) "Well, they're certainly energetic!" She said with a lighter tone of voice, looking down at her own Pokémon, who looked like a real life walking dust bunny, which shrugged easily and started patting at her grey fur, muttering about dust.
I'll…just stay away from her.
Black looked down at me, sighed a little, before he seemed to gather up his wits and followed the direction of the others slowly while pointing his Pokédex in front of him, with me following him.
Our adventure began on a rather plain foot.
We ran into a Patrat, a small chipmunk creature with huge incisors, buck teeth, and FREAKISH eyes. Black, being the rather responsible (Albeit reluctant) trainer tasked with collecting information for the evil Professor Juniper, dutifully scanned the first Pokémon we ever encountered (After stepping into the grass…Like in the GAMES!), who had given us a stare down with it's…her…. almost beady eyes.
"What are you doing in the territory?!" She squeaked with a voice that sounded eerily like the Chipettes, crossing her arms like Brittany would while twitching her fluffy tipped tail as the Pokédex droned on in it mechanical voice I wasn't paying attention to. "This place is off-limits!" She exclaimed pretty haughtily too.
I had replied as eloquently as I could "The fauq are you?" I think I frowned "An over grown rat?"
That successfully pissed her off, actually. If the dropping jaw was any indication.
"What?!" She screeched loudly, steam pouring out of her ears, before I yelped as she tried to Tackle me, making me dodge to the side with a few stumbles as she glared, Black making a small yelp in surprise.
I think he never expected he had to fight so early into his journey (He seemed like the type to be a Pacifist) But he gave his best attempt at a Pokémon Battle anyway.
"Eevee, erm err, Tackle….?" He looked at the Pokédex entry for 'Eevee', the National Part of the Dex as he scrambled to try to tell me what to do as I dodged sloppily from yet another attack from Patrat.
I wanted to deadpan (This wasn't time for freaking education!), but I had to dodge a set of wicked teeth thrown at my face "What the hell! That's my face!" I yelled at the chipmunk, which leapt at me again, eyes glowing.
I was successfully freaked out by her Leer before she slammed into me with a Tackle, but it felt more like a drop on my face. With me under her, she started scratching at my face, and I tried to kick her off "Get offa me you!" I yelled, batting at her with my weak paws. "Get off!"
Why can't I be reborn as something Bipedal, huh?! Being a Riolu or something would have been nice!
Black was freaking out, and he tried to pull the Patrat off me, only to get scratched at in return.
Then, suddenly there was this WHOLE group of them suddenly appearing out of nowhere to back up Patrat the First, and we were chased back to towards the direction of Nuvema, screaming all the way with a pack of Patrat at our heels, incisors gleaming in the sunlight.
Professor Juniper was more than a little amused.
"That was the first time the Patrat ever did that." She mused, looking over our scratched up selves, amusement gleaming in her eyes "Unless something set them off like that…they shouldn't have ganged up on you two like that." She shrugs nonchalantly, laughing a little.
I just glared, saying nothing.
We managed to go through Route One the second time round (Actually we tried to return to Black's Home, but his mother ended up sending him off with this thing called a X-Transceiver or something. With a few potions she bought and a sandwich.), this time holding my tongue in check and Black decided to become a little more battle smart use a few more of my 'other' moves.
"Eve, dodge!" He yelled, a little nervously when the Lillipup, the same Pokémon species as the one Juniper caught earlier, tried to attempt a Tackle on me, already succeeding a few times. Without a Trainer, Pokémon where more unpredictable I learned as I grit my teeth, before I managed jumping to the side as the creature ran past me "Now use Tail Whip!" Black yelled, seeing as the pup quickly turning back to me, growling.
I technically didn't know how to perform a Tail Whip, exactly, but I thought 'To hell with this!' and flicked my thick tail in a swishing movement at the Lillipup, making him seem confused before I slammed it into the side of his face, lowering his defense as he never expected it. Hummm...interesting.
"Ouch!" He yipped, rubbing his red nose in pain.
"Tackle!" Black ordered even as I charged at the pup at full speed, knocking him over and he passed out, allowing the battle to go to me.
I would have beamed if I didn't know Lillipup's where lightweight. And my face was somewhat bruising.
Ouch. As what the Lillipup had said.
"Don't worry Eve." Black said, using my newly chosen nickname with ease as I breathed a little, not yet fully calm after that battle. I tilted my head at him to let him know I was listening "We're almost at the new town, and then we can get you healed up at the PokéCentre." He informed.
I looked at the shy boy, who seemed to be much more comfortable talking to a Pokémon than other 'humans' or something. Shrugging, I yawned, stretching my limbs and getting the sore felling of a blunt force hit sting a little as I looked off, my tail swishing back and forth.
Black sweatdroped at my nonchalant air of indifference, the Potion in his hand pointed at me already.
A few more Lillipup's and Patrat's later we quickly reached the town Black was talking about. By now I was somewhat tired out from slamming myself so often into randomly appearing Pokémon, so Black decided to pick me up and walk all the way himself instead.
Which was nice, but I protested by trying to bite his fingers anyway.
The place was slightly larger than the simple Nuvema (I'd seen that whole place. It WAS small. Sadly so, but it's really gives that close tight nit society feeling.), and it seemed to be built on a hill, with a flight of stairs leading down to the lower regions of the town, and a grassy hill covering most of the area where a few people milling around a little, wearing weird outfits that made them look like the where cosplaying knights, handing out fliers to people. A signboard proudly stood at the entrance, the words 'Accumula Town' painted on, and beyond that, we saw what we were here for.
The Pokémon Centre, with it's red roof and giant Poké-ball, was a massive giveaway.
Then a Blond girl of DOOM teleported via nowhere and decided to crush me to death using hugs and Love (And people wonder why it's fatal…) "HELP ME BLACK!" I yowled in pain as the crushing became unbearable.
I made some sort of hissing sound that almost bordered on *SQUEEEEEEAAAAKKKKK~!*
"Awww! She's cuter than I remembered!" Bianca squealed, cuddling me in a very violent manner while swishing me from side to side as I choked. "I wished I could hug Tepy like you~ but he always coughs out fire and burned Cheren when I tried, so I can't hug him. And I haven't managed to catch another Pokémon yet. But I can hug you~! *Insert fangil-ish squee*"
Cue random flinging of me from side to side and my fur flying in all directions.
"UNHAND ME YOU FIEND!" I yelled in a commanding tone that butchered up with the wind wiping pass so fast and the death grip on my esophagus, already feeling like I was attempting to play A First-Person shooter while riding on a rollercoaster doing the Loop-De-Loop.
Which is stupid, cuz I get sick playing first persons.
I think Black was trying to say something that might potentially save my life, but the cat (Or whatever heck cat themed Pokémon) caught his tongue and he couldn't cough up saving words, even though his mouth opened and closed in a gapping sort of movement, looking rather dumb.
Ehemm…CHOKING TO DEATH HERE!
Without thinking, I bit down on Bianca's hand.
"YOWCH!"
I sat, grumbling as the Pink Pokémon with large blue eyes petted on my head after my checkup who introduced herself as Audino. I looked down at myself, feeling a little freaked out on the technology of Pokémon healing.
Just pop under the machine then, as the Nurse Joy who looked a little different than usual (Where they all so…anorexic?) says "All okay now!" before being shoved back into Black's awaiting arms by the Pokémon nurse that wasn't a Bilssey but an Audino for some reason. Hey, I used to watch Pokémon too you know! "Your Pokémon is still young, so please don't overwork her." The pink haired nurse said as I looked at her locks that looked like bubble gum "But a few battles here and there would be just right!" she amended when Black looked at me, worried as I ignored the woman.
Black just mutely nodded, head tilted down and almost buried into my fur.
She said her usual line of "Come back soon!" (That's a really terrible thing to say in a hospital. Do ya want the Pokémon to die or something?) as Black stepped out of the Centre, Bianca practically bouncing on her heels even as she waved her hand that had these small cartoony plasters on them.
Before you ask, I felt no remorse.
"Eevee's all healed up huh!" She says rather cheerfully to the quiet teen holding me, smiling brightly and even petting my head even as I growled at her. Black pushed my head down gently and kept his fingers over my mouth as he petted, preventing me from lashing out perhaps. "That's good, just in time too! There's this group of people who are gathering together at the hill side for some 'special talk' or something." As she pointed towards the vacant spot earlier, now getting a crowd while her hand held a pamphlet. Must have been from those guys earlier. "They said that this talk was for Pokémon Trainers, and we're Pokémon trainers right?" She did not wait for Black to answer "Right, so that means we have to go see what this is all about!" she said finally, before dashing off joyously towards the crowd.
Black looked a little skeptically towards the crowd of people, his grip on me a little tighter as he shrugged, walking into the crowd.
The center of attraction was a group turned out to be made of the people cosplaying like medieval knights. They set up poles that had cloth banners blowing in the breeze with a stylized royal-blue P on and a black and white shield as the background, the same weird mark on their uniforms on the chests. In the middle of all the knights was a man with long pale green hair stuck out in funny angles, dressed in purple and gold robes with a white and red eyepiece over one eye, and held himself with an air of authority.
I didn't like him already, and I noted with disdain at his very prideful look as Black stopped when he could not move through the crowd again, just managing to get close enough for me to see them.
"Greetings. I am Ghetsis of Team Plasma." The green haired man said in a loud voice, clear and confident. Maybe he was used to speaking publically. "And I would like to talk to you all about Pokémon liberation."
That simple sentence made me perk up with sudden interest. It seemed vaguely familiar somehow.
Pokémon….Liberation? Setting Pokémon Free…..?
"I'm sure most of you believe that humans and Pokémon and partners who live together and need each other. However, is that really the truth? Or is that what we humans only assume to be the truth?" The green-haired man began to walk back and forth, and people's eyes followed him as he walked surely, gaining attention of the people with ease. "Pokémon are forced to follow the selfish commands of Trainers, injuring themselves in battles that we engage in for sport and enjoyment. But they are much more than a means of entertainment, ladies and gentleman. Pokémon have so much unknown potential, and they know so many things that we've yet to learn. So what is our responsibility to these wonderful beings? The answer is liberation. We must liberate the Pokémon of the world; release them from the restraints that trainers have placed upon them! Only then will humans and Pokémon truly equal!"
The crowed of course gave their own opinion to such words. "Liberate Pokémon?" "Will my Pokémon really be happier if I let it go?" "But it took so long for me to catch it…!" "Bah, it's just a load of poppycock."
Black just held me closer, feeling uneasy at the Ghetsis's words….
Wait….Ghetsis…?
"As I end my words here today, I implore you all to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon, and the correct way to proceed. We of Team Plasma- "Alarm bells rang in my head at the name….'Team Plasma? Where have I heard that…? Memories from the past are kinda fuzzy. ' "Sincerely appreciate your attention."
I watched warily as Ghetsis finished, the knights packed up their banners swiftly and formed around him in a sort of formation as if to protect him. They then started to march away, leaving people to talk amongst themselves and mull about what the man had spoken of, before they slowly trickled away and back to their homes, leaving Black standing there rather awkwardly as he swiveled his head around, seemingly find himself at a lost.
"Eve…." The boy asked softly as I tilted my head up at him. The expression he wore was one of confusion and doubt. Must have been from the "LIBERATION" speech and all "Is what that man was saying true? I mean, I didn't want to become a Trainer so early," He fidgeted as I gave him my most level stare "but traveling with Pokémon isn't bad….But I don't want to make you feel unhappy." He mumbled as I looked at him in shock. "We did get you hurt on the way here…and you don't seem like you want to be in a Poké-ball…."
While he was saying all of this, I was actually looking at him really hard; as hard as I would try to stare at some particularly interesting mini insect crawling up the wall or something. I mean, he was confiding in me with his feelings, stuff I guessed he never told anyone else before.
It made me feel uneasy as I sat there, listening. No one told me anything in my past, so I don't really know what to say, or react to his feelings.
How am I going to communicate even in the first place? I'm not human, I'm a Pokémon now. And it's not like Black understand universal Poke-speech.
"So….do you want to be free?" Was Black's question as I blinked out of my own inner ramblings "I…can release you if you want…." He offered softly.
I shook my head negatively "Look, I know you don't understand me Black." I said seriously, not caring even if he understood what the heck I was saying as he looked at me, confused but listening. "But you don't just befriend a Pokémon, talk to them, feed them and all that, only to 'liberate'" Here I wished I could do some air-quotations "them and punt them into the wild, so that means I'ma stay with you, okay?" I felt like an idiot for saying stuff like that, if only to make myself feel better for trying to talk to him…or something.
"Your Pokémon, just now she said such a strange thing….." A smooth voice spoke in slight wonder, causing us to snap our attention to the person that was intruding.
I widened my eyes as I saw a young teenager with messy, tea-green hair tied back into a bushy pony-tail, and wore a black and white hat, long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves pulled up to the elbows over a black-tee. He wore beige pants, along with a pair of green sneakers. He had this odd planetary-themed pendant on a necklace, golden square bracelets and a …Merger Sponge was hanging from a chain from his pocket.
"Ehh?" I said very intelligently (Yeah, I'm real intelligent when I wanted to be), looking around as the teenager stared at me with his grey eyes that looked like they were searching for something. Seeing no other Pokémon around me, I looked back at him warily "You talking about me?" I asked stupidly, pointing a paw at myself as Black silently stared, probably a little confused about why a random kid was talking to his Pokémon.
He quickly nodded "Yes, I couldn't help but find how intriguing the words you have said just now." He said quickly, making me pause a moment trying to catch up with what he was saying. "Are you really happy with your trainer, and being placed inside Poké-balls?" He quickly added, making my brain whirl with the sudden questions even as he waited, excitement in his eyes.
I stared at him like he was suddenly growing an extra head from his neck. "What's this?" I asked flatly "Twenty Question's or something? Because Black has been nothing but nice to me, so I can't really say much. Then again, it's not like I've been taken from the wild." I shrugged, before I looked at him strangely "You know? This is the weirdest thing that has ever occurred to me." I deadpanned.
Black then decided that he had enough off seeing his Eevee talking to some random stranger when all he heard from my end of the conversation was.
"Eeeeeve eeveee~!"
Or something ackward like that.
So, he spoke up "What do you mean….my Pokémon…Talking?" He asked, looking strangely at the green haired male, whose gaze snapped sharply towards him quickly as soon as Black uttered the first syllable. It seemed that it unnerved him somewhat, making him hold me away a little from the odd male somewhat protectively.
The male with oddly colored hair looked a little disappointed. "Oh…I see…you do not understand Pokémon either. How sad. I thought you might understand them, since you where talking to her." He said, almost distractedly as he straightened himself up, before he blinked and introduced himself "My name is N."
At that, I blinked at him, before everything clicked into place.
The colspayers. Team Plasma. Ghetsis. Pokémon Liberation.
And their King?
N Freaking Harmoina.
Holy….shit.
A/N : I am not happy with this. At all. Something seems wrong, and I have no idea what the hell it is -_- (OTL)
But that aside, I thank all those who have reviewed this story! :D I really appreciate them, even if it's small words of encouragement.
So thanks to:-
Crystal A. Kanbara : Thanks :D A Riolu...I'm not sure about that, but all idea's are welcome. In fact, I think I can perhaps use the trading system or something to get a non-Unovian Pokemon. Just saying.
Meoow Meoow Mew Meeow: Yeah, I did. Slyveon is gonna be a Fairy Type (Le wut? 0_0) and it's supposed to be Supper effective against Dragon Types. Which might be useful. But now, we know NOTHING. O-O I'm partial to Espeon myself, or maybe creating an all new type that is not yet Cannon?
Lost: Well, I don't know if you're still reading, but it's because of her Ability Adaptability, which means it increases the Attack power boost of STAB moves, which mean's Eve's Tackle is Trice more powerful than if she only had Run Away as her Ability instead.
AnonBrony: Cool, a Brony :D I think it might be impossible NOT to evolve her LOL But maybe if it depends on friendship or something. Maybe.
Ameko: Thanks for the love :D Fun and Exciting? Really :O Glaceon huh...that's a pretty good idea too. Thanks for the input! :D
Entei7800: Thanks for liking it! :D I'm sure it's plausible to catch one, but it's easier just to breed. I couldn't even catch one in Emerald T-T And, ahahaha, I'm not a 'real author' yet, but thanks for thinking so highly of my fic XD Though this chap kinda made me feel like...meh. (Sob)
Thank you for the reviews! And the input! And the love! *Tosses candy like random*
You guys can also mention what Pokemon you'd like to see! I'm personally hopping for at least a Galvantula. That Spider be awesome!
Extra Note!: Anyone who reads this, there is currently a Poll on for Eve's Evolution! (Wow, there's a nice ring to it XD) Go there, look at the questions, and grit your teeth as you chose! XD I WOULD take it's results pretty seriously!
Thus so,
Read and Review? :D
