The Children of Jirachi:

Leo's Tale

This fan fiction is based of a fan fiction, written by orangeshoelaces. My story takes places three years prior to orangeshoelaces' current main story 'The Children of Jirachi'. If you like my story, go and read his story too. You'll love it. His and this story are different than normal Pokémon stories because they are Human Pokémon stories.

Human Pokémon are half Pokémon and half Human. They have the mind of a Human, are better in everything than normal Pokémon and are hated by most of the normal Pokémon.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon. I don't own the idea of Human Pokémon, Pokémorphs (or PokéMorphs) and Moemon. And I don't own anything else related to Pokémon (except the games I bought).

"Hey, did you know that?" A female voice asked.

"What?" A male voice asked back.

"They announced a new tournament."

"You know, that we don't go. Why are you bothering me?" The male voice had an annoyed undertone.

"You know the answer." The voice of the female weakened with every word.

"And you know, why we can't go! I don't know what happens, if I let him fight again!" The annoyed undertone disappeared and an angry undertone replaced it.

"We could go without him." The female voice advised.

"No. I don't go. I know, that you all want to fight. Hmm, maybe except Transform. He never liked it to fight. But you wasn't there, Shade, as it happened. I don't know if I could stop him."

"Then tell me. Tell me what happened! You said, you would tell us what happened. And now, three years later, you still haven't done it." The female voice, Shade, knew that he would talk now. He couldn't run away like he did years ago.

The male voice sighed.

"You probably can't remember it, but it all started in Celadon City. I was six years old. My family had a big house there. It was a real nice home. A big garden where I always played with my friends. I always thought, that my family loves me. But I was wrong.

Someday they came back from their work and had a present for me. A young and female Eevee. As soon as we saw each other, an unbreakable bond was created between the Eevee and me. We did everything together. I didn't play with my friends that often anymore. After some time they stopped visiting me. I wasn't really disappointed. I had my Eevee.

Months before my seventh birthday, a friend of my parents showed up and talked about the life of a Pokémon Trainer. My parents seemed to absorb all of his words. And after he left, a strange shine appeared in their eyes. From that point it went bad for me. They packed a backpack for me with supplies, clothes, a tent, money and other things. They convinced me that it would be fun. I trusted them.

I traveled around Kanto and got all eight badges. I also caught some strong Pokémon and I wanted to show my parents how far I got. But when I arrived at our house I saw, that it was abandoned. I didn't understand why. I stayed there for several days and cried a lot as I understood, that my parents wouldn't return and that they abandoned me and our house.

I left Kanto and traveled to Jotho. I participated in many tournaments. I kept telling myself, that I did this to train my Pokémon. But deep in my heart I knew, that I did this to become famous and that my parents might see me in the TV and that they would return if I'm popular enough.

My Eevee showed pity and evolved into an Umbreon. She just wanted to show, that there was someone who loves me and that I'm not alone. After that, I never recalled her into her Poké Ball if it was avoidable. I liked it to just talk to her. I knew, that she didn't understand everything and that she never could really answer. But I had someone to talk to. It helped a lot.

Because of the many tournaments, I had enough money to buy a little house on an Island near Cinnabar Island. I then continued my journey in Jotho and got all badges there. My team consisted of my Umbreon, a Ditto, a Pikachu, a Gyarados and an Arcanine. My Umbreon was my best and favorite Pokémon of my team. It helped me through many tough battles. And after a really hard one against a guy clothed in blue, I received an egg. Soon a Riolu hatched from it. The Indigo League was no problem for my team. And after that, I participated in many tournaments again to find some clues about where my parents could be.

I trained my team for several years. And the whole thing started as I reached my fifteenth birthday..."

It was a wonderful day. No clouds, not to hot or to cold. Leo was walking around, his female Umbreon besides him.

"*Sigh*. We are back in Jotho. So many years have passed. It feels like ages. And I still have no human friends. But it's great to have you, Shade." Leo looked down at his Umbreon and it smiled to him.

Leo was thin. Really thin. He never ate much.

Leo had tousled dark brown, almost black, hair, wore a long blue, sleeveless shirt and yellow shorts.

Leo liked traveling. And his Umbreon was often at his side. She didn't like it to be in her Poké Ball. And he liked it to have someone to talk to. Even if the one was a Pokémon and couldn't say something besides its name.

But suddenly Shade started to glow white. Leo was deep in his thoughts and didn't notice it. Shade began to grow and her paws became hands and feet and her head and body became more human. Clothing for her appeared out of nothing.

An Umbreon cry interrupted Leo's thoughts. He turned to Shade because he thought, that she wanted something from him. But that he saw, as he turned to Shade, shocked him. A girl was standing where Shade was moments ago. She had short black hair which was tousled. But black wasn't her only color. Some flicks of hair were yellow and, with other flicks of hair, they formed yellow rings. She wore a top which reached her navel and was also black and had yellow rings printed on it. She had black pants with yellow rings which reached her knees and black boots. The boots also reached her knees. Her eye color was a dark red. Her eyebrows were black. She also wore black gloves with the fingertips free. She smiled at Leo.

"Wh-wha-who are you?" Leo stuttered.

The only response was an Umbreon-like sound from the girl. She then looked around. Leo noticed something on her head. It looked like two shaped Umbreon ears. Black and with yellow rings.

Maybe she likes Umbreons? But where is Shade? Leo thought.

His eyes went wide as the ears twitched. And then he saw that the girl had an Umbreon-like tail.

"Sh-Shade?" He asked.

The girl turned back to Leo and made a happy version of her strange Umbreon-like sound.

"But how is that possible? What happened?" Leo didn't understand it. He couldn't. And he didn't want to. His best Pokémon, his companion was now a human.

"Can you speak?"

The girl made another Umbreon-like sound.

"Hmm. I think that's a 'no'." Leo said to himself.

"Hey, you!" Leo and Shade were startled as they heard the scream.

A young boy raced towards them and as stopped in front of Leo.

The boy wore a blue shirt, jeans and black shoes. He had brown hair.

"So, you have a Human Pokémon too, huh? She evolved recently, didn't she? Just give her three days to adjust. Hey, thereisatournamentonHimitsuI slandit'sforHumanPokémonandyoucouldp articipatewithyourUmbreonI'mtheretooandihopewewillmeeta gainandthatwecouldfightagain steachothertheferryisleaving fromolivinecityyouhavesometi metopractisesoseeya!" The boy ran away before Leo could say something. The boy talked so fast that Leo couldn't understand much but that there is a tournament on an Island called Himitsu Island for Human Pokémon and that the ferry is leaving from Olivine City. But Leo didn't now when the ferry was leaving.

Well, I could go to Olivine City and wait for the ferry. I could train around the city and maybe get some more information about Human Pokémon. Leo thought.

"Hmm. And what are we gonna do now? I think we should find a spot to stay for the night. I don't want to go near a town. Come on Shade, let's go."

Shade obeyed and followed Leo. But she walked on all four. Leo tried everything but she didn't want to go like a human.

"Just give her three days to adjust." Leo remembered the sentence which the boy said.

Three days. I hope he is right. She looks just like a normal teenage girl. Except her ears and tail. Maybe if she goes like a human, I could convince others that she likes to dress like an Umbreon. Maybe I could teach her how to speak. I always wished, that I would find someone to talk to. Is she the answer to my wish? Maybe Arceus heard me. But is he powerful enough to do something like that? And how much of a human is Shade? Can she get pregnant? And if so, will she lay eggs like a Pokémon or...no. I don't thing that she is that much of a human. But I have to admit that she is beautiful. To bad that she isn't really a human. Should I abandon her? The boy said that there are more but that if he lied? It's still Shade. I can't abandon her! She was always there if I needed someone. And now SHE needs ME! But what if someone wants to know why Shade behaves like she does? Will I find a good explanation? Or will they try to kill her because she is a monster? A freak?

The two found a place to sleep and Leo put up his tent. It was big enough for both of them. He was so tired that he didn't even change into his pajamas. Shade laid next to Leo and curled herself up, like she always did as an Umbreon. Leo found that it looked cute.

The night was cold and Leo had only one blanket. He had given it Shade and now he froze. Shade opened one eye, saw it and then she put the blanket over Leo, crawled under it too and snuggled with Leo. He didn't move, his face blushed and his heart began to race. It was the first time for him, that a girl was so near. He didn't knew what to do. He tried to slightly crawl away but Shade followed him. He was totally overwhelmed with the situation. But soon he felt asleep because of the warmth of the blanket, the stress of the whole day and his exhaustion.

He dreamed of a wide green hill. He was standing on it with a girl. He couldn't see who she was. He said something but couldn't understand what. The girl respond something. And then they kissed.

What do you thing? Is the story good or bad? And a great thanks to orangeshoelaces for letting me write this story. I hope that the story is good enough and that you all enjoyed it.

I should probably explain some things:

Why has Leo named his Pokémon with 'childish' nicknames?

-He named his Umbreon Shade because he was young when she evolved. Transform has his nickname because of a similar reason. Leo caught it as he was young. You can't imagine how 'childish' the nicknames of my Pokémon and those of my friends were as we were young.
