Part I: Hatched!

The egg shook once, it shook twice. Espeon watched the egg with a calm expression, waiting for his child to come out. Glaceon on the other hand was going spaz " it's gonna hatch! It's gonna hatch!" she squealed excitedly in pokespeak. Espeon smirked as he watched her prancing around. The egg cracked and a small, boy eevee poked his head out. " Wee?" he asked. " Oh, hey there sweetheart, aren't you just the sweetest thing?!" Glaceon said in pokemon speech and went over to her son and gave him a tongue bath. Espeon watched and when she was done he went over and nuzzled his son.

Eevee beamed "Ee-vii-nnnn" it said snuggling up to it's mother. " It almost sounds like he's saying 'evan' " Espeon commented. " Then maybe that's a hint, let's call him Evin" Glaceon said brightly. Espeon gave her a bizarre look, but then smiled " Sounds good" he looked at his son " What do you think, Evin?" he asked in pokemon speech. "Wee!" Evin said happily. Espeon smiled at his son. A pidgey zoomed by over head and little Evin gave chase " Don't follow it too far!" Espeon warned his son. " No worry, papa" Evin said in pokemon speech and chased after the pidgey.

Evin chased the pidgey until it was over a field of flowers and then he flopped down into the grass to catch his breath, he was very young and tired easily, he rolled over onto his back and into a patch of flowers and watched the pidgey fly off into the distance " Bye-bye!" Evin said brightly and waved one of his front paws at the pidgey. After it disappeared he sighed and rolled back over onto his tummy " Now birdy gone" he said. He sighed again and curled up in a fluffy little ball and fell asleep.

Evin was dreaming, he was frolicking through a field of flowers in his dreams, chasing a flock of butterfree and having so much fun! Suddenly, he heard the sound of scraping metal all around him and he could smell something burning! Young Evin opened his eyes and the first thing he saw were burning trees several feet below him, he gulped and became aware of a pinching grip on his shoulders, he looked up to see a rather sinister looking skarmory. He gathered his courage " What you want me for, put me down right now!" Evin shouted in his young voice. " That's quite impossible, besides, my children are waiting on their meal, you'll be a nice appetizer" the skarmory said in a sinister tone and she cackled insanely. Evin whimpered.

The flight back to her nest was relatively short, the Skarmory set Evin down and three young skarmory began to fight over who got to take a bite first. " I want to bite him!" one yelled. " No, I wanna do it!" another whined. " You two, stop it, it's no use fighting, I'll do it" the third said. " You wish" the other two said in unison. Their bickering led to them starting to whap their wings at one another and all one could hear was the screeching metal of the three young steel type's wings. One of the three missed when trying to whap the other two and knocked Evin out of the nest! " Idiot! Now none of us can have him!' one of the others shouted.

Little Evin was falling fast, already scared witless, " If this is the end, then I have to say I hate my life!" Evin yelped in pokemon speech, just as he was closing in on 10 feet above the ground he clamped his eyes shut, he awaited impact. Nothing came and then something bouncy and soft , he opened his eyes in time to see he was bouncing off of a Snorlax's belly and then he tumbled down a grassy hillside. Little Evin shook his head, dazed. He heard a boom coming from the sky and looked up frantically, the sky was getting dark, he heard the boom again and saw lighting strike in the distance and then a single raindrop fell on his nose. Evin tilted his head, what was this stuff? More rain began to fall, and then it was pouring down " Everything all wrong! The sky is leaking!" Evin said frantically, he'd never seen rain before. He spotted a hollowed out log and scampered inside. He could hear the rain beating down on the log and he whined a bit and curled up in a ball and sighed to himself, what a wild day. His eyelids were heavy, he was so tired, he let them droop more and close and he fell fast asleep…
