A silver eevee lay beside a small tree on a hill, a few scrapes along her sides oozing blood.
A Alolan Vulpix gasped as she saw the eevee. The Vulpix ran over to her. "Oh my goodness! Are you okay?!"
The snowy vulpix began examining the wounds, placing her paw on them and them quickly removing it when the eevee flinched. "Ugh..." The eevee groaned.
The Vulpix jumped back as the eevee began to get up. "Owww... Why does everything hurt? Where am I? What happened?" The eevee began asking.
"Woah, woah, hold on. What's your name?" The Vulpix asked. "I'm Crystal." She added.
"Oh... I'm... I'm uh.. Stella." Stella said, rubbing her head with a paw.
Crystal grabbed a pale blue bag and pulled out a dark blue berry. She used a claw to slice it into thirds. She pushed one of the slices towards Stella. "Eat this." She told her.
Stella bent down and sniffed it. "What is it?" She asked.
"Really? You don't know what an oran berry is?" Crystal asked with a tilted head. "Well, yes, but I wanted to make sure because I'm pretty sure I'm hallucinating." Stella replied.
"Why do you think your hallucinating?" Crystal asked. "Well, for one, I'm talking to a Vulpix." Stella said as she rolled her eyes.
Crystal looked very confused. "Umm... did you hit your head or something? Cause last time I checked an Eevee can talk to a Vulpix, even if said Eevee is shiny." Crystal muttered.
Stella laughed. "Ha...ha...I'm sorry, but me...an haha...Eevee? And a...haha...shiny..ha.. one at that?" Stella asked.
"Umm... there is a little pond over there. Maybe you should look into it..."
Stella rolled her eyes but walked over to the pond, trying at first to walk on two legs but then deciding to walk on four legs after falling several times. "W-w-what?! When did... how did I..." Stella stuttered.
"Will you eat the Oran berry slice now?" Crystal asked. Stella nodded absently, to stunned to talk, gazing into water, where a shiny eevee was staring back at her, an identically stunned look on its face.
She was sure that yesterday, she was human.
When Crystal brought the slice of berry over to her she shook her head to clear her thoughts and bent down to eat the berry.
"So, what made you be all the way out here with all those wounds?" The Vulpix asked, putting the other two slices of Oran berry into her bag.
"I-I don't know..." Stella answered, closing her eyes in concentration. "All I remember is... Well, I was a human yesterday an-"
Before Stella could even finish saying 'and', Crystal interrupted her.
"Woah, a human?! Humans are just old fairy tails!" She exclaimed.
"No, they aren't! Not where I come from at least... well, after yesterday, it's all a blur... just flashes of faded memories... a hurricane... lightning, thunder... really loud thunder... the waves, they were so big, the wind was so fast! But... my sister was still out there... I had to save her! I did... I-I think..." Stella trailed off, wincing as if the memories were physically painful.
Crystal looked at her with concern, wanting to comfort her but not sure how.
"A-anyway... you should get those wounds properly treated. Come on, I know a Leafeon who can help." Crystal said, guiding Stella down the hill and towards a nearby town.
