Of Ice and Fire
Prologue:
The Uprising
Fire and Ice,
Two opposite elements with different powers and desires.
Fire, burns through anything. Destroys wood, steel, the living, the non-living. Fire is a power that is known for destruction.
Ice, freezes anything solid. Even at the harshest, it can turn anything to snow or frozen blocks. Ice is a power that is also known for destruction.
Long ago, there was a battle between the two elements, and it resulted in many casualties on the living and nonliving, bringing either a burning death, or a frozen death.
Articuno, the Bird of Ice, made an agreement with Moltres, the Bird of Fire, to never fight again. And thus, fire and ice made peace. But will that message go towards the hearts of other the living and nonliving?
It depends. Both birds have been sealed away from others, never to be heard from again, but some day.
They will come back.
July 13,
The depths of Galion Woods
5: 35 am
An Eevee wearing an explorer hat was wandering around the darkness that is Galion Woods in Unova. It was wearing a high-tech carry-on bag on its back, wearing an Everstone around its neck, and its back legs were wrapped in bandages. The Eevee's height was two inches shorter than a normal Eevee, looking like a small little fox to a Turtwig, and its fluffy tail was five inches longer than a normal Eevee, which is the most noticeable.
Behind the Eevee was another Eevee, only different. This Eevee was a bit bigger than the first Eevee, and a bit bigger than normal Eevees as well. It was three feet bigger than a normal Eevee, and its ears were three inches shorter. And the Eevee was wearing a blue jacket, glasses, and an Everstone around its neck.
"Leslie, how far is it now?" The second Eevee asked, slightly annoyed.
The first Eevee, known as Leslie, turned around and looked at the second Eevee, "Don't worry, Raul. It's not too far anymore. I can feel it in my paws that we're getting close."
"Getting close? You've been saying that for the past ten minutes!" the second Eevee yelled angrily, now known as Raul.
"Oh please, brother. I just know I am. It's here somewhere," Leslie said, feeling excited.
True to what Raul said, since both Eevee siblings started walking, Leslie kept on saying that she can feel that they're close. But in reality, they were walking in circles. Since then, Raul started getting tired and scoffed.
"Sis, can you be honest with yourself and admit that we're lost?" Raul asked bitterly.
"Lost! No no no! I won't admit that!" She shouts fiercely, making Raul back away and bump into a tree, knocking his glasses off.
"Damnit Leslie! Where are my glasses?!" Raul shouts angrily, placing his paws around to find his glasses. Leslie sighed as she sees Raul's glasses on the ground. She looks at her high-tech backpack as a claw came out and picks them up. Then she turns Raul around as the claw places the glasses on his face.
"Thank you. Now please, just admit it. Even you know we're lost in this damn forest," Raul stated, adjusting his glasses.
"Argh! Alright, I admit. We're lost. If only you brought the map like I asked," Leslie complained.
"Thank you. Now I know I forgot to bring the map, but you know how I have short term memory loss on an occasion," Raul reminded his sister.
Leslie giggled a bit and nudges her Eevee brother, "Aw shush. I know. Okay, maybe if we could explore more of Galion Woods, we could find the Phoenix Temple. Now I know you must be pretty tired by now, but we can rest if you want," Leslie smiled at her Eevee brother.
Raul shakes his head, "Nah, let's look. As much as I find this nonsense, I suppose we can look around."
"YES! Oh thank you, brother! Now come on before I have to drag your behind," Leslie said as she started to skip happily around the woods. Raul shakes his head in disbelief and follows.
"Slow down a bit, Leslie. I'm having a hard time catching up-WHOA!" Raul screamed, and it was because he fell into a pitfall and is now sliding down a stone pathway.
Leslie widen her eyes after hearing her brother scream as she traced back to where the scream came from, and sees the pitfall.
"RAUL!"
Raul continued to slide down the pathway until he hits rock bottom, falling on his behind as his glasses flies off his face.
"Crap! My glasses!" He screamed as his scream made an echo. Raul gets up and shakes his head and places his paws around, looking for his glasses. By then, Leslie slides down and lands safely without harm.
"Oh thank the Legendary Pokémon you're safe. I thought I lost you," Leslie sighed of relief.
"Where are we? I can't even see," Raul stated, still looking for his glasses. Leslie walks up to her brother, and sees his glasses. She then picks the glasses up with the claw from her backpack and places them on Raul's face.
"Thank you, sis," Raul adjusted his glasses and looks around.
Where the two Eevee siblings are right now is a stone temple, made of grey rocks and a red pathway leading to the temple. And there were torches hanging on the walls.
"This is it. The Phoenix Temple. Ooooh boy! Come on Raul," Leslie then runs forward as Raul followed.
"Wait up, Leslie!" Raul shouts as he runs after Leslie, hoping she doesn't get hurt.
Leslie stopped running as soon as she sees a statue of the Legendary Bird of Fire, Moltres. Leslie's eyes sparkled in awe as soon as she sees the statue.
"OOOH MY GOD! THIS IS IT!" Leslie yells and jumps around happily, doing spins and dances. Raul finally was able to catch up to his sister and groans.
"Couldn't you at least wait for me, Leslie?" Raul asked, feeling annoyed.
"NO! OH MAN, THIS IS SOO COOL! I WONDER WHAT WE CAN FIND HERE!" Leslie runs towards the statue of Moltres and places her left front paw on it. "OOH! AND IT'S WARM TOO! SO COOL! SO EPIC! OOOH BOY, I WISH I CAN MEET MOLTRES SOME DAY, OR ARTICUNO! OR BOTH!"
"Well, one good thing about that is they both stopped fighting many years ago. So meeting both Legendary Birds wouldn't be so much of a problem," Raul pointed out.
"I know, right? Can you imagine both of the Legendary Birds of Fire and Ice coming back some day? If that happens, Zapdos won't be so lonely. Wow, this is so cool," Leslie said, giggling a bit.
"Well alright. We found the Phoenix Temple, now how about we get out of here before something bad happens," Raul suggested.
"Oh pfft! Like anything will happen while I'm here. Don't you worry, brother. I'm here to protect you with my speed, power, and high-tech backpack," Leslie giggled as a mechanical flamethrower came out of the carry-on bag as it lit up a small flame before shooting out a big flamethrower, almost hitting Raul.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE AIMING THAT THING!" Raul screamed in fright, ducking down from the flamethrower.
Just then, the sound of moaning was heard throughout the temple, startling the Eevee siblings. They both looked around, getting their guard up as a hand broke through the ground, startling both Eevees as a rotten corpse of a Monferno came out of the ground. Its eyes were flaming red, its skin was a darker shade of orange, some of its bones were exposed, and it looked molted.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" Raul screamed in fright.
"RUN!" Leslie and Raul started running from the rotten corpse of Monferno, but their escape was soon cut off by 2 more rotten corpses. They were a Magmar and a Pyroar, also with flaming red eyes and almost close to the horrible state the Monferno was.
"CRAP! WE'RE CUT OFF!" Raul yells in fright.
"EAT THIS, YOU UNDEAD CREEPS!" A mechanical water cannon came out of Leslie's carry-on bag as it shoots out high pressured water at the 2 rotten corpses, knocking them over. "GO GO GO!"
Both Leslie and Raul jumps over the knocked over corpses and starts running, but Raul then falls through the ground as a sharp edge cuts off Raul's Everstone off his neck as he fell.
"LESLIE!"
Leslie stops running as she turns around to see Raul not there. "Raul? Brother?" Leslie runs to back, only to see a hole in the ground, but she also sees Raul's necklace hanging from the sharp edge.
"Oh no. His Everstone," Leslie grabs the Everstone necklace with her claw from her backpack, and looks down at the ground, "RAUL!"
Raul continues to fall as he then lands on ground, but the ground was red, as well as his surroundings. He adjusted his glasses as he realized what he's surrounded by.
Fire Stones. He was surrounded by Fire Stones. A lot of them. Luckily, he's not standing on one, otherwise he would evolve into a Flareon.
Raul looks up to see the hole he fell through way up in the air. "LESLIE!"
"RAUL! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Leslie yelled in worry.
"YES, I'M OKAY! JUST GET OUT OF HERE! YOU'LL DIE HERE IF THOSE UNDEAD POKÉMON CATCHES UP TO YOU!" Raul yells.
"I'M NOT LEAVING YOU HERE! WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE TOGETHER!" Leslie yells, having bitter tears in her eyes.
"I'LL BE OKAY! TRUST ME! JUST GO! I'LL MEET YOU OUTSIDE!" Raul mutters to himself, saying "somehow."
Leslie was reluctant on leaving her brother behind, but she noticed that the 3 Fire Type Pokémon corpses were catching up to her as she panics and runs away from them.
Raul looks around the Fire Stones he was surrounded by, until a ghost appears from all the Fire Stones. The ghost was a Flareon, but really odd looking. The tip of the Flareon's ears looks like they were chipped off, there was a gaping hole on all four of the Flareon's paws, its orange fur was a really dark shade of orange, its eyes were red with black iris surrounding the red eyes, and its furry tail was actually just smoke.
Raul looked really terrified at the sight of the Flareon as it approached Raul and giggled sinisterly.
"Well what do we have here?" The Flareon circled around Raul, scaring him more than usual as he lowered his head.
"A new vessel for my fiery soul," The Flareon chuckled sinisterly.
"New vessel? What are you talking about?" Raul asked, getting away from fear and into confusion.
The Flareon giggled sinisterly, "I mean you, little one. Good thing you don't have that stupid Everstone, otherwise, I won't be in control of you. Now, you are now under my control."
Just then, a corpse of a Charizard appeared behind Raul and grabs him. Raul screams in fear as the Charizard throws Raul at the many Fire Stones. Raul then started glowing, but a dark aura surrounds him as the Fire Stones glowed violently red.
"Yes. Yes! YES! OOOOH BABY! I'M BACK! BACK WITH A VENGEANCE! AFTER 400 YEARS OF BEING TRAPPED HERE, I'M FINALLY BACK!" The Flareon yells excitedly, watching Raul evolve.
"Back? What do you mean back?!" Raul shouts angrily.
"Little Eevee? Hehehe, you shall soon find out. For now, you are my new vessel for me to CONTROL!"
"BACK AWAY, YOU UNDEAD CREEPS!" Leslie yells as she fires high pressured water at the many Fire Type corpses, trying to get out of the Phoenix Temple and wait for Raul. Just then, the corpses began to run past Leslie and gather at the entrance of the temple. Leslie looks over to see what's going on, when all of a sudden, a big burst of flames engulfed the Fire Type corpses as Leslie runs away from the flames and exits the temple before a howling horn sound of fire was heard.
When the flames died down, Leslie looks over to see that the corpses were not corpses anymore. Instead, they were fully skinned and normalized, but they still have the flaming eyes.
"Oh crap!" Leslie shakes in fright. She can see the many Fire Type Pokémon excited to be back to normal, but what she saw that really surprised her, was the now coming Flareon that Raul saw before, despite that Leslie never saw the Flareon. The Charizard was also coming from behind the Flareon as the said Eeveelution smirked with a sinister look in its eyes.
"Raul? Is that you?" Leslie whispered to herself.
"Tonight! WE SHALL RISE!" the Flareon yells excitedly, as the Fire Types cheered.
"AND WE SHALL WATCH THIS WORLD BURN!"
