Chapter 1: Once upon A cave.

Once upon a cave on route 217, where the fresh snow formed a rather beautiful white carpet on the ground, where the Delibirds liked to stay in order to rest before rounding the world's coldest region and where the tall evergreen trees were constantly covered with a thick coat of snow, a little unusual family prepared the outing of one of their member.

That family was formed by a Female loppuny, two female buneary and a male... human. Yes indeed a human lived with them and was considered as a member of the family just like all the others. His name was Steven. His early days weren't that nice for a child. His human parents went missing after a terrible avalanche on Mount Coronet. By the age of 3 and 3/4, he was an orphan, found barely alive by the Loppuny who was going back to her cave to feed her two daughters.

As Loppuny's heart melted with pity when she saw that innocent human child almost crushed by frostbites, she picked him in her arms, infusing him with a bluish energy known as aura to melt the ice covering his form and blocking his joints.

The little child regained consiousness soon after and started shaking violently, as his body tried to generate heat as fast as it could. Using quick attack, the bunny Pokemon quickly reached her cave and placed Steven in a warm fur blanket near the fire a friendly Magmar living inside a cave nearby graciously lit up for them.

The two baby Buneary hopped near their mother in order to see the new guys resting near the fire and almost instantly bonded with him. One of them even went ahead and kissed him on the cheek while commenting how cute he was. Snuggling between his arms she soon fell asleep. Within a week of rest, Steven was fully recovered and stayed since that day with the Loppuny Household. He learned basic survival and quickly adapted himself to the harsh winter environment that was standard on route 217. His understanding of pokemon speech became fluent near the seventh month and he could easily be understood by the other pokemon. The family was close, really close and Steven was happy there too.

However, the time to depart was near, as Steven turned Five and stayed 6 more month with the bunny family.

( The day of the departure )

Steven was ready, he knew that his time had come to return to the human cilivisation where he belonged. Even if he did enjoy living with pokemon, he knew inside of him that he wanted to go back to the city.

″( It seems today is the D-Day, my Dear)″ Loppuny said while putting the last frozen Sitrus and Aspear berries in the shed fur berry pouch

″ Yes Mama. I can't thank you enough for what you did for me. I am eternally grateful″ I replied while hugging her from behind.

She stopped what she was doing and sun around to look me in the eye. As I opened my moth again she hugged me and stroke my hair while signing a lullaby. I was soon unable to stay up and we sat on the floor, soon joined by my two sisters who were in tears

″(I don't want you to leave so soon)″ One of the bunny pokemon wept. ″( Yeah, who will play with us, hug us when we're afraid or just plain be our brother?)″ The other one lamented.

( I will come back, I promess. It's not like i'm ever gonna forget you girls. I will come visit, you can count on it) I promised while kissing them both on their forehead, making them smile as they nuzzled me, successfully preventing me from crumbling down and cry like a baby.

I really loved them. They were the one who showed me that pokemon were more that possible pets or battle partners. I already understood that pokemon were our companions and that they would help us if we had their trust. They had the power to help people or to hider them, they were free from any true concern and if they chose to be captured by humans, it was from their will of exploring, not because they were simple-minded.

After some last farewell, I took the fur coat given by Lopunny who held me one last ″(Please Steven, be careful. For your sake and our sake)″ She said while giving me my old bambo stick I used so much to play with my sisters.

I waved at them, than ran off the cave. My direction was that city that I've heard so much about while listening to travelers that occasionally came to our cave.

(Well, I'm off to Snowpoint City)
