(Chapter One) The Purrloin whom couldn't steal.
Most people think of purrloin as sneaky, agile theives. Well, for the most part, that was true, for all except a young purrloin, named Emily. Emily was diffrent, besides the fact she couldn't steal. Most purrloin and Liepard liked to stick in clans together, but Emily just wanted to be alone. While all the other purrloin succeded in theifing school, Emily could care less. She would much rather be out in the forest, taking in the beuty of nature, the bliss of being alone. It also didn't help that her parents were master theives. Every day, those liepard would come back with something diffrent, things from both pokemon AND trainers, and say "Now why can't you be this good?"
It was the middle of summer break. It was days like today Emily was glad for the shade as she walked her normal route thru the forest. Occasionally she would see a reptilian or firetype basking out in the hot rays coming down from the trees, but most pokemon were at the swimming hole. She breathed in the scent of some road-side flowers, as she had stopped to pass. Smiling, she stretched out in the grass, smiling to herself. She loved the summer, she didn't have to deal with her classmates, her teachers, heck, most pokemon really! Just the way she liked it. She actually felt herself drowzing off till she heard shaking in the very tall grass nearby. Sitting up, Emily looked into the plantary, just as a Zorua lept out.
"C'mon slowpoke!" he called back into the grass. It seemed he didn't even realize Emily was there! She felt as if she was holding her breath, as she listened, ears pinned twords the grass. 'Trainer...' She thought as she heard a strange language only tamed pokemon seemed to understand. The zorua layed as he waited for his trainer, she assumed, to appear out of the grass, and pulled something out of the scruff of his fur, a bright blue sphere, as her clan knew as an Aqua Sphere. Emily's eyes seemed to rest on it.
'That sphere!' she thought to herself 'If i could just be like everyone else, to sneak up and take it!..' Thou her mind and eyes were on the sphere, wanting to take it, to prove to the others that she wasn't as they said, her heart throbbed as if she was going to ruin her life, her legs stayed where they were. She grunted, trying to move. "Hm?" The zorua perked his ears and looked in her direction.
'S***!' She thought as he stared at her.
Putting the sphere back in his scruff, he stood up and walked right up to Emily, and sniffed her face. "Aren't you a purrloin?" he said blinking, looking her over. She simply nodded, as if suddenly weak. The fox-pokemon sat before the purple cat and looked into her green eyes, and she looked back into his green orbs. "You didn't see it, did you?" his voice has turned sternd and quiet. Emily twitched her tail. Could she bring herself to lie? This Zorua looked stronger than her, and she didn't know how'd he react if she said she did see it.
"See what?" she quickly said. His eyes went to slits, as if he didn't beleive her for a moment, then nodded. He suddenly seemed to cheer up, satisfied. "I'm Luke." he said after a minute. Emily blinked, confused of his random temperment change. He stared at her unblinking. "Don't you have a name?" he asked with a tilt of the head. She blinked her eyes and cleared her mind. "I do!" she almost hissed.
"Then what is it!" Luke chuckled, half to himself. Emily pinned her ears back. 'What's so funny?!' she thought to herself, glaring at the zorua, whom seemed to, at any moment, burst out in laughter. "...It's Emily." She finally retorted. Luke smiled. "Well, nice to meet ya Emily! Never actually seen a purrloin before, is it true that you guys steal stuff?" He said curling his fluffy tail over his paws. "Most.." Emily said looking at the grass. The noise was coming closer. "I think I should go.. Your trainer is coming.." Before Luke could say another word, she lept up and sped away. racing into the forest.
