Hi my kittens! So, this is what I decided to write instead, this is also for my Language Arts teacher...This is my first try on a fanfic like this...so I hope I do alright... :3
Chapter one - The Decision
They said I could do whatever I wanted in life, they said I could be whatever I wanted to be. It was all a lie. A lie to get me out of their fur as fast as they could. I found that out too late and now it's my fault. Was I not all they wanted? Did they find someone better than me, or was I too much after my older siblings before me? Possibly all, at least most. They did not understand, they did not believe, they only tolerate. I raised myself for they were rarely there. But what was I to do? A young Eevee could not fend for herself alone in the big, wide world… I could not get them to care, to worry, to love, anything… That is why I decided I would run away from them when I was old enough, there was nothing else I could do.
My 'best friend' met me at the forest entrance, tears stinging her beautiful silver-honey brown eye of that of a shiny Eevee… It stung to see this, I had known her for so long, yet I never learned to trust her, I messed up when I chose not to and I learned at that moment when she piped up, her small childish voice a high squeak while cracking, "Yui… Please don't leave! Not without me, don't leave me… I'll be lonely and won't have a friend anymore… I'd miss you…" The sound of her voice and her words made me want to cry too, I wasn't being fair but, I was scared she might get hurt if I brought her with me and…
"Your parents though… Lucinda, they'd miss you, we don't need to worry them… You'd be safer here…" My honey brown eyes welled up at my words and at her expression that looked like I had just spat venom at her that hurt so bad. Lucinda whimpered, "I don't care about them right now… Yu-chan, you're like my oneesan… I need you as much as my parents… but, I would fare better if I went with you… I don't want to be cooped up anymore, relying on others for everything because they make me due to the fact I'm so… 'special,'" Lucinda ranted. I smiled wistfully as her last comment and looked down at my paws.
"You are special Lulu,"–that was my nickname for her as Yu was her for me—"Not because you're a shiny but because you're you… Just being yourself makes you more special than you think you are and you should be proud of who you are, okay?" I asked my little companion. She nodded repeatedly as though at first, It was all she could do then she asked me, looking at me, meaning she had to crouch a little and look up at my hanging head, "Please Yu-chan, let me go with you. Pretty, Pretty Please with an Oran berry on top!?" My Arceus, at anyone else I would be mad at for saying that line, but she was so adorable and looked so hopeful that I had to small the lump that had formed in my throat. How could I say no to her?
I sighed, replying, "Aright Lucinda, you can go-" she started jumping around before I could finish, "-you may go on one condition." I held back a small laugh when she stopped jumping around to look at me curiously, showing me she was all eyes and ears. "…Never make that face again," I told her as I brought my head up to look at her fully. She giggled, "Yes Ma'am," She said, saluting to me as though she was one of those pokemon who go out to fight for their residents of their region, I think she got it from her father, but it made her look a thousand times more adorable and this time I couldn't hold back a laugh.
"Alright Lulu, I want you to go pack. We'll leave at midnight, don't get caught, wait till your parents are asleep, got it?" I explained to her and she nodded her head vigorously. "Got'cha!" She said happily and dashed off towards our homes and I smiled, my heart heavily beating in my chest because she was so young but happily wanted to go with me, she had never wronged me, there was no reason not to trust her… She's not your family Yui, she different… Different indeed. I have nothing to fear except for one of us possibly getting hurt… But, I must, I HAVE to protect Lucinda…
I did not know when I had fallen asleep, when I got under the large Oak tree, but I did because I woke to a paw poking my nose repeatedly. "Yu. Yu. Yu. Yu~ YuuuuYuuuu~!" A cheerful voice rang into my head. YuYu… I dreaded that nickname and only one ever got away with that name besides my parents. I groaned at being woke up and opened my honey brown orbs to be met with the silverish-white face of my best friend which a glow was radiated from the moon onto her face that made her look like a goddess. Lucinda grinned, "Morning, sleepyhead!" She said cheerfully which made me smile sleepily and wipe the vexing crust of sleep that embedded around my eyes as I slept with my paw. I shivered as a cool breeze found it's way under my fur. "Is it midnight alright…?" I asked, hoping she'd say 'No, I just woke you up because I thought it would be fun, you can go back to sleep.' But, the answer I really got wasn't what I hoped for…
"Yes, let's hurry! I can't wait to start!" She told me excitedly, her tail wagging quickly out of excitement and happiness as well as possible eagerness. I sighed and stood, having no choice. "Alright, alright. We're going Lulu, you just got to calm down," I told her and amazingly, she did. I smiled to myself about this, she was a good girl… I grabbed up my leather satchel and put it around my neck, positioning it so it would be more comfortable to walk with. "Where are we heading?" She asked me… I nearly faceplanted into the ground below. Curses, I forgot to think about a location to go!
"U-um… I was thinking maybe… west!" I stammered and she tilted her head, "Why west?" She asked curiously. I bit my lip and them said, "The cities are that way, I was thinking… Um… That maybe it would be nice to see what a human city is like since we've always been cooped up in a village of pokemon," I explained to her. [Arceus, please do not let her think of me as weird after this.] I saw her eyes brighten up as she beamed. I felt the feeling of relief spread throughout every muscle and bone on my body as she told me, "That sounds wonderful! Let's go, let's go!" I laughed at her enthusiasm and nodded, "Alright," I said and headed towards the west part of the forest, towards my new life, a new adventure, and more than I could have comprehended at that time, Lucinda close on my heels.
I thought nothing would happen, that everything would be okay… If only I would have know everything I know now, if only we had not of been so naïve at the time, maybe everything WOULD have been fine… Nice Pokemon are not always good pokemon, they can be nice but that does not mean the care, does not mean they will help you in a tight situation. In this world you are either liked or not likes, you have no choice, no fate on what happens. Learn to fend for yourself before it's too late.
