Chronicles of Leben
Chapter 1 : A Special Snowflake in a crowd of Ashes.

Somewhere, where humans are just a figment of the inhabitant's imagination, there exists a world, a wild, sometimes cruel and primitive world full of Pokemons all around. Which are the most intelligent versions of said creatures, who learned and managed to create multiple kingdoms and provinces where some live in harmony, others are teared away by war, and some are just flowing with the days, just being a normal city, or tribe, where pretty much nothing happens, sometimes. These Pokemons weren't aware of the raging storm that was about take down their peaceful way of living, making it worse, or just making something happen for the first time. There is no place in this world for justice, love or goodness. But here, somewhere, scattered around the areas of this world, exists Pokemons that were proving the laws of this universe awfully wrong. Special, or just chosen ones, these were the ones who could change everybody's fate here. They just weren't aware of it yet. I am one of them. My name is Drukcije. I wasn't aware of it myself, but somewhere in my heart, I was sure of one thing : I wasn't any ordinary Braixen. I had a special fate. This fate is what determines what and who i am today. I changed, a lot from my early beginnings. I am not quite the same person as you see me right now. Do you see this Braixen, with a broken ear, and wounded waist being surrounded by his relatives ? Yep. That's me. Being the oldest in my family, i have to take care of my six sisters ever since our parents were took away by the great wood fire that happened sometime after I evolved. At the time, my sisters were still Fennekin pups. Now, They all evolved, and got into what i like to call : « The Ungrateful Stage ». In my Opinion, they are old enough to take care of themselves now, and i already tried telling them. The thing is, it's that they don't like being taught, and thinks they still need me, but I'm like a butler for them...They ask me to do things that are not too complicated for them to do, but they just won't bother doing it themselves...Now, I love my sisters, and it's my duty as a brother to take care of them, but I still think they are pushing so much right now, since my parents were their age when they started living alone, away from their parents. It's time I teach them that I am not a slave to do their bidding ! I have been told I was way too nice to my sisters so many times in the past. I didn't listen, until now...I learned now, and i won't be the nice, sweet and caring brother they always saw until now ! But...Inside, I just can't do it and I just want them to live happily after our parent's death...I want to leave the family cave, and finally move on with my life, damn it...It's even because of them I got these wounds in my ear and my waist...I get so weak, and pathetic in front my sisters...IF they weren't my sisters, I swear i would have left them to rot in their place, and maybe even would have used violence to avenge myself. Since I am their brother, i have to take care of them to make my parents proud, even if this is breaking me both Physically and mentally. One day, I just hope i would find the courage to tell them to take care of themselves, and to hell with the butler brother I always have been ! How long I have been waiting for this day to come...It came. But...It wasn't how i expected it to be...Let's go back to this day, who also changed my life forever. It all started when I went out of the cave to go get some berries :

The sun was starting to show up, it was early in the morning and my sisters were still alseep. I took this time of short tranquility to take a walk around the forest, and go get some berries, i was pretty hungry at this hour...Which is not a common thing to happen to me, to be honest. It was the first time i was THIS hungry, while being extremely early. Anyways, I walked out, with very small steps to not wake up my six sisters who were asleep, and to be honest, it wasn't very easy to make them fall asleep...All the more reason why i was up at this hour was surprisingly bold, coming from me. Blinded by the sun, i raised my paw, only to see the beautiful jade forest illuminated by the sunshine rays. Stretching in and out, I was feeling in a pretty good mood. Breathing the wild and fresh air of our dear forest, i took a very light step to the Berry Steppe, where berries usually grow in multiple trees. Since it was early morning, no Pokemon were awake yet, and I was free to take all the berries of the Steppe, if i wanted to. Now, my hunger wasn't THAT big, even though i am known to be a big eater among my sisters. (Speaking of which, they probably would ask the berries i picked up if they wake up when i'm gone...) Even though I leave most of the food i cook to them. Augh, thinking about this makes me even more hungry now...I take a step back and run forward, a youthful smile on my face and jumping around the ledges and rocks, having taken my dose of exercise for this day. Laughing lightly and feeling the fresh breeze on my face as i run, i see something on the ground. Almost falling on it because i stepped on it by accident, i turn around and check it and take it with a closer look. It was an Everstone.

"What the...How did that got in there...?"

I was reluctant to take it, because like most of us know, this stone doesn't make us evolve while having it in our possession. I was intrigued, but also very curious about what to do with it.
Should i take it and not make me evolve... ? Once i evolve, I can't go back, and I would be stuck in my Delphox body forever, without hopes of retrieving my current Braixen body. I have accustomed to this body, and i like it. And, to be fair, I don't find Delphoxes to be particularly...Charismatic...The idea of becoming one left me in slight disgust one day...I think would rather not become one, thank you...

"Looks like you'll be more useful than i thought, surprisingly..."

I said, in a slightly sarcastic tone, while picking up roots from the ground and making the stone as a collar, so i won't lose it, ever. Having now a new accessory in my possession, i was making myself ready for the berry collecting, so i kept running towards the Steppe, and...to my surprise, i wasn't alone. There was a Beartic in the Steppe. And half of the berries have disappeared. The one Pokemon who was standing before me took the half that was missing. Ticked off and irritated, i thought NOBODY would get here before me, and I would have picked up for me and my six sisters. They would want all my berries, now, if i pick up the other half...In a movement of rage, I rushed towards the said Pokemon, and looked at him in a VERY menacing and irritated way.

"Hey, you bonehead ! These are MY berries you are taking with you ! I have a big family to feed, so you better pick those where you found them, or this is gonna get ugly!"

I said to him, while picking up my stick and preparing a Flamethrower attack.
Dropping the berries, the Beartic made a movement backwards, and told me this, in a panicked tone:

"N-No! T-These berries are F-For my tribe...And besides, I do not want to hurt you, so please go away before anything bad happens!"

Thinking he made fun of me, I got more enraged and threw my attack at him. He dodged with a stunning precision, I was impressed.

"Come on, fight like a man! And don't hold back just because I'm small! The one who wins gets the berries!"

I said, while throwing even more attacks at him, but he kept dodging them with agility. He was pretty quick and agile, for a Beartic.

"S-Stop attacking me, I said I would not be attacking you, so leave me alone! And I am not giving up these berries!"

He said while running away in the forest. Following after him, I was getting a little more ticked off and displeased when I said:

"If you think I'm gonna let you have these berries with SIX ungrateful sisters who wants everything I get from here, keep dreaming, you idiot! Give me those right now!"

Running faster than the wind, the Ice Pokemon just wouldn't listen to any of my words. I kept attacking, throwing fire balls at him, chasing him through the whole forest, without stopping once to catch my breath. The Hunger was starting to get significantly bigger when I said:

"I am getting more and more hungry right now! You better give me those, or else I'm gonna roast your butt if you don't keep avoiding my attacks, damn it!"

Seeing my determination, the Beartic ran faster as he could

"Why won't you give up already?! Stay away from me, or you will get hurt real bad! T-This is my final warning!"

Something strange was going on with this bear, as if the more he ran, the more he was starting to get dangerous and menacing, contrary to before where he would plead me to not attack me. Even saying things where I "Could Get Hurt". Not believing any of his words, I kept throwing, and throwing my attacks at him, where one finally hit him on the back. He fell down, leaving all the berries on the ground.

"I told you, you big fool! This is what you get when I don't have what I want!"

I said in full confidence while picking up the berries he dropped. The Beartic, was on the ground, but...He was...He wasn't hurt at all. He was looking menacing, with a murderous look on his face, he walked slowly towards me, but I could not see it...And boy...Did I wish I noticed him when I was picking up those berries...
