Eeveelutional: Prolouge
Lyra Kamiya
{A/N – First of all, I don't own Pokémon. Just clarifying that for the rest of this story. This is not a series involving the characters of the show, other than the gym leaders, although we do run into Ketchum-boy and friends at one point. In my opinion, Eevee- evolutions, or Eeveelutions, are some of the best Pokémon in existance. In red/blue, Jolteon was the fastest Pokémon in the game, Vaporeon had the best defense, and Flareon had the best attack. I still own my first Eevee, who has since evolved into a Flareon. Her name is Ember, and she has grown to level 84 having had but one rare candy and no codes used on her. She has defeated teams of level 100 water pokémon… but the greatness of Ember is not the point. This is a story of my old best friend, Alan (I still miss him), and I, if we were to be in the Pokémon world… the worlds best Eevee-trainers being our goal… and this is where we begin…}
A six year old girl with a backwards baseball cap and long, brown hair comes running up to the window of a pokémon laboratory. Inside there is an Eevee hatching from its egg, and several more eggs lay around it, seperated into boxes of two or three. She stares with awe at the tiny fox-type pokémon for a moment, then turns around and yells behind her, "Hey! Hurry! They're hatching already!"
An oriental boy of the same age half ran, half stumbled up to where she stood. "Already? I thought Professor Birch said it wouldn't be till late today… the suns hardly even up yet. Wow… its so cute… and so small… I expected them to be small, but even I could hold it in my hand," he held up one of his tiny palms to demonstrate.
"It is, isn't it? But that just makes it cuter."
"Geesh, what is it with girls and loving small stuff? I'll never understand you," he mumbled in mock defeat. (think little Tai in the Digimon movie) She giggled and they both turned their attention to the little Eevee, who completed hatching then layed still for a moment before seeing the two children and wandering towards the glass that seperated them from it. "Aren't you the cute little baby," the boy smiled with his forehead to the window.
"Eev.. evae…?" it cooed and put its paws on the window in an attept to meet its watchers.
"Kawaii…" the girl whispered with another giggle. Suddenly there was a creak and the door beside them opened, revealing a woman in her 40s…
"*yawn*… Oh… Lyra, Alan, I thought it would be you two. And I also thought I told you they wouldn't be hatching untill late today, at the earliest.
"I couldn't sleep cause I wanted to see them," Lyra mumbled sheepishly.
"And I couldn't sleep because she couldn't sleep," Alan quickly added.
"Alright you two… I guess you can stay and watch them hatch… but don't you think you'd better have breakfast?"
"I've got cookies."
"And I have soda."
The Professor sighed at the two munchkins that she had known for quite some time… they had both always loved pokémon, particularly Eevees and their evolutions. When they had heard that their were three litters of eggs at the lab, well… the two had been there before the sun every morning for the last month. And as for the children themselves, they had known each other since they were born practically, one being just a few months older than the other. At least this time they brought their own breakfast, she sighed letting them come in. "You do realize that it'll be at least a few hours before they start hatching?"
"But Ms. Birch… one hatched already!"
"It did?" she walked over to the box be the window. "So it did… this one is from the Jolteon's litter," she said picking up the tiny Eevee.
"Efue! Eevee…" it said as it batted at her other arm while she attempted to 'weigh' it.
"Feisty little guy… takes after his father… about 2 and a half pounds, healthy for a newborn… probably 7 inches long without the tail."
"So it's a boy then?"
"Yes… and he doesn't like me that well…" her point was proven as it jumped out of her hands agilely and landed on the table, then walked wobbly over to the two children who were sitting at it. "He seems to like you two well enough though. Wait a second… did he see anything before you two?"
"I got here just as he started hatching," Lyra answered.
"I was here about a minute later," Alan added.
"Well, no wonder then… he thinks you two are his parents! Tell you what… I was gonna give each of you an egg anyway, so why don't I just get two from the other litter, and you can both have that one, too?"
"Really? That's be awesome. Thanks," Alan smiled.
"Alright! I get a kawaii Eevee!" Lyra chirped with excitement.
Professor Birch walked over to another box by the window, and lifted two eggs out of it. "This was the only litter of twins, the other two were triplets… This one's probably gonna be a boy, so I'll give it to Alan," she handed him an egg with mostly blue but a few purple spots. She then held up one that all the spots were blue on, "Lyra… this is one of the only two out of all 8 eggs that looked like it might be a girl. Be careful with her, alright? Now then, what are you gonna name your Eevee? He's already hatched, newborn, better time than any to name it." The two looked at eachother, then at the Eevee that was nibbling on a cookie crumb.
"I don't know… I think we'll just call it Eevee untill it evolves, if it does."
"Yeah… I mean, we doj't wanna have to change its name too much before its all growed up."
"Alright, then his name is Eevee. I guess he'll just belong to both of you untill you can become trainers. When you might run into a problem… well," she stopped as she heard gentle snoring from behind her, where the two kids had fallen asleep side-by-side, with the eggs in their laps and Eevee asleep under Lyra's hat on the table. "Those two… they're gonna be a great pair of trainers someday… but they're not gonna survive on their own…" she sighed, then picked up a blanket from the couch and placed it over the sleeping duo.
Whadda ya think? I'm gonna keep going with this, but it is theroretically endless, and I'm not gonna expand beyond the next chapter without reviews, so there. Ok, just review. Heiwa!
