PMD: Explorers of Heart
Blech, corny title. -_-
Anyway... This is a fic that I've requested numerous times, yet no one has bothered to agree to write it.
Firstly, it starts out like PMD: EoS. But the actual plot is quite different- And I don't just mean the Hero and Partner fall in love either.
Secondly, I'm using Tara and Eevee again. I don't know why I enjoy using them so much. I just do.
And finally, I WON'T be putting Luna's OCs, Shinx and Treecko in this fic. I don't think they'd go well with the plot.
That's all, I guess! Enjoy!
I don't own PMD.
A Pikachu lay on the beach, just seconds from being unconscious.
"Wh-where... What happened?" she whispered. She struggled to keep her eyes open, but eventually succumbed to the darkness of sleep.
Meanwhile, an Eevee was standing in front a of a big, pink tent... Well, actually pacing.
She kept looking at the tent, shaking her head, then going back to pacing. Soon, she came to a halt in front of a grate.
"No. I refuse to be paralysed by this any longer" she said sternly to herself. She stepped onto the grate, and jumped about a mile in the air as voices came from below the grate.
"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!"
"Whose footprint? Whose footprint?" another voice shouted. Before the other voice could respond, the Eevee jumped off the grate.
"Ack!"
After Eevee had caught her breath, she looked sadly at the tent. Tears were brimming, but she refused to look like even MORE of a wuss, if such a feat were possible.
"I guess I really can't do it..." she muttered. She placed a stone on the ground.
It seemed to be ripped out of something, and if looked at properly it almost looked like a heart. There was a unique pattern on it, too.
"I thought having my treasure with me would help, but..."
Eevee whimpered, and picked the stone back up.
"I'm such a wuss..."
With that last sad remark, Eevee walked off in the direction of the beach.
When she reached the sandy area, she turned to the ocean and sighed blissfully.
"It's so beautiful..." she whispered. She began talking to herself, like she was talking to another person.
"I always come here, when I'm sad or upset... It always makes me feel so much better..."
She looked up in amazement as the bubbles came into view. As she was turning around to see more, the noticed something down by the entrance to Beach Cave. As she got closer, curious, she realized what it was.
"Wah! Someone collapsed!" she cried. She rushed over to their side in concern. She poked the Pikachu in the side.
"Hey! Are you okay? Wake up!" she nearly shouted. Slowly, the Pikachu's eyes opened. She slowly stood up, stumbling a bit. She looked around tiredly.
"Hey, are you a talking Eevee?" the Pikachu asked sleepily. Confused, Eevee replied,
"Of course. All Pokemon talk"
"Ah"
And with that, the Pikachu went completely berserk.
"What?! What the freaking hell?! I am a human, and I should NOT be able to understand you! This is a dream, right? Tell me it's a dream!"
The last sentence was punctuated by the Pikachu grabbing Eevee and shaking her violently.
"Stop! Calm down! What's wrong?!" she shouted. The Pikachu stopped shaking her, and sighed. She rubbed her temples, aggravated.
"I'm sorry. My name's Tara, and I'm just seriously confused here. I should be a human" she stated, a lot calmer. Eevee nodded slowly.
"Well, you look like a Pikachu"
Tara blinked. Once. Twice. Shocked beyond belief, she slowly peered into the water...
And fell into it from shock.
Eevee couldn't help it; She laughed. Hard. Tara grumbled something that sounded like a threat, and climbed out of the ocean, completely soaked.
"Yeah, haha, very funny. Do you laugh every time your new acquaintance falls into the water, or is this a first?" Tara asked sarcastically. Eevee stifled her giggles, and managed to calm down.
"Sorry" she said with a smile. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Koffing and Zubat came and crashed right into Eevee, sending Eevee flying towards Tara. In the process, Eevee dropped the stone from earlier.
"Ah! Hey, what did you do that for?!" Tara screamed as she pushed Eevee away.
"What do you think, wet rat? We wanted to mess with you!" Zubat informed her. That insult only served to make Tara angrier.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" she shouted. The thugs paid no mind to her as Koffing picked up the stone. Eevee quickly panicked, running to stand next to Tara.
"Hey! G-give that b-back!" she said, not too threateningly. The thugs ignored her and rushed off into Beach Cave.
"Oh no... My treasure..." Eevee whimpered. Tears filled her eyes, and this time she made no move to stop them from falling. Tara looked at her, worried.
"Hey, if you stop crying I'll go help you get it back" she offered. Eevee looked up at her in shock.
"Really? Then let's go!" she declared, and ran off.
"Slow down!" Tara shouted, and ran after her.
-2 floors later-
Eevee had to admit, Tara was certainly acting like she was a human. She didn't really understand how to do fairly simple moves, but thankfully Eevee was able to teach her.
"I swear Eevee, this place is only making my wet hair situation worse" Tara grumbled, snapping Eevee from her thoughts. She laughed.
"The moisture would do that. But hey, you offered to come" she pointed out.
"Because I didn't want to see you cry" Tara said simply. As she realized what that sounded like, she quickly added,
"I mean, I hate seeing anyone cry"
-2 floors later-
The thugs came into view. Eevee was shaking like a leaf, but nonetheless she bravely called on them.
"Hey!"
They turned, and simply laughed.
"Look, it's the baby and the wet rat" Koffing mocked. Tara sent him a death glare that clearly said,
You die first.
"Urk. Give..." Eevee took a deep breath.
"Give me back what you stole from me! That is my personal treasure! It means the world to me!"
The thugs only snickered.
"And why give it back if it's treasure?" Koffing asked mockingly.
"All the more reason to keep it! Heh heh heh!" Zubat chimed in. Eevee's eyes widened, then they filled with pure anger.
"NO!" she shouted, and unleashed a Tackle on Zubat.
Getting the sense that a battle would be breaking out, Tara used Thunderbolt (she picked it up while going through the cave) on Koffing. With another Thunderbolt, he was out cold.
Eevee unleashed several Tackles in a row, not even giving Zubat a chance to fight back, and soon he was unconscious as well.
Tara grabbed the stone, and tossed it to Eevee.
"C'mon! Let's get out before they wake up!" she said, and they rushed off.
