Link... LINK!
The young Eevee shifted in his sleep, quietly ignoring the voice that pestered him.
Link! Link, open your eyes...
He huffed as the water encasing him slowly drained, curling up tighter for warmth.
Wake up, Link...
With nothing better to do, his sleep disrupted and the voice preventing him from falling asleep again, Link reached a paw to his aching head and rubbed it for a moment. He slowly stood, stepped out of the pool, and noticed a pedestal near a wall. On top of said pedestal, there sat a reddish-brown slate with strange markings on it. One in the center showed an eye with a teardrop, a blue dot in the center, and a red-and-white ring around the dot.
That is a Pokedex. Take it. It will help guide you after your long slumber.
Link snatched the slate from the pedestal in his mouth, finding there was a clip for it on the leather strip around his neck. A bit of fumbling with his paws, and the dex lay in the strap easily. He could've sworn he'd never seen it before, but there was something familiar about it that gave him a warm feeling. Suddenly, the wall shifted, opening a door.
Ahead of him lay a chest, and the young pocket monster ran ahead to push the lid up. He could've sworn he heard a chuckle, but ignored it, instead shifting his head in confusion at what he found inside. "It's a worn-out scarf?" He shook his head, ears bobbing, and put it on. The fabric could be smoother, but my mane does protect my neck. The next chest held a thick brown satchel, visually appealing and comfortable. There's also a lot of room. I can hold a lot in it. This could be useful.
Taking a moment to appreciate the unique markings and lighting of the room, Link approached the next wall, which he guessed would also end up conveniently opening a door.
Hold the Pokedex up to the pedestal… that will show you the way…
Link bit the slate around the handle, placing the glowing point in the ring on a matching point on the pillar.
POKEDEX AUTHENTICATED
The door started rising, revealing a blinding light. Squinting, the Eevee approached the new door.
Link… you are the light – our light – that must shine upon Hyrule once again. Now, go…
Trotting forward, up stairs and through water, the Pokemon was met with a cliff. He frowned, trying to make out how to climb it. Shrugging, he decided the only way to move forward was to jump onto the cliff, claws in the wall, and put his paws on the overhangs. Not long later, he was standing near the exit. Excitedly, the young Eevee ran out and stood at the overhang of a cliff. The wind blew through his fur, ruffling his ears, and the view was breathtaking. There was a forest, a huge log, a cliff, hills and stones and a volcano!
Suddenly, a voice called from the cliff's side. Link turned, noticing a very old Flareon. His mane was graying, and so was his muzzle and his eyes was covered by a thick brown hood. He seemed to stare at Link for a moment, before turning and walking towards a fire.
Link looked down with curious eyes, almost instantly running down to the Flareon's area. He suddenly halted, finding that his Pokedex had started glowing. He hesitated and then held it up, finding that the glow got brighter closer to a strange disc on the ground. He tapped the slate to the disc, and an image formed of a slash mark with a caption. The Eevee placed the slate on the ground, reading the words:
CUT – ATTACK – THE OPPONENT IS CUT WITH THE USER'S CLAWS. ALSO USED TO CHOP DOWN TREES.
The image was glowing blue, as though it was selected, but with nothing to change this setting to, Link returned to Dex to its holder and continued his pursuit of the Old Flareon.
