Silver Chapter 2 "Returning home"

Akito's POV

The next day we woke up at around 9:00 judging by the sun's position

"Nngh"I grunted as I stretched my sore muscles as despite my dark typing I wasn't bothered by the bright sunlight

"hey you're finally awake" Satoru cheerfully said

"So Satoru which way do you live?"I asked

"Umm I think it was that way"he replied gesturing northwest

"Well, lets eat and then we'll go" I said picking whatever berries were left on the bush. It was a small meal but it was better than what they had given me in captivity. After finishing we started heading Southwest deeper into the forest.

"So, what's your family like" I asked

"Well there's my Mom who's a Glaceon and there's my dad who's a Leafeon"he answered

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Nope" replied Satoru cheerful as always

"Any friends?" as soon as the words left his mouth I regretted it almost instantly, the Eevee looked down at his paws depressed

"No everyone avoids me and calls me a geek or a nerd" he said sullenly

"Well you shouldn't pay attention to them, besides its the smart people who can change the world"I replied trying to comfort the Eevee

"Do you think I could do that" Satoru said excitedly

"Sure you are pretty smart for your age"saidI "it seems the kid has some bully problems, I'll have to fix that)"I thought "huh that's strange when did I start caring about him this much" "I think we should make camp for the night" said Akito

"here seems good" I said as they passed a hollow log

"stay here I'll look for some food" I told the Eevee leaving to find food. I wandered for a while before I found a berry bush and grabbed a few branches taking them back in a bit of a hurry since it was already getting late.

The next day they I woke up with a nagging pain in his shoulder "It's probably just an ache" I thought as I shook some grass from his fur I woke up Satoru and brought back some more food despite the now dull throbbing pain in my shoulder and continued traveling it was a little after noon when I caught a scent.

"Someone was here recently", Satoru inhaled deeply then concentrated for a few seconds before he jolted upright.

"That's my dad!"he exclaimed joyously

"Well what are we waiting for"I said "Lets go!" we started running and soon the scent got stronger and we quickened their pace, before long they reached a small house

"That's my house!" said Satoru happily running up to it then a Glaceon came out

"Satoru!" she exclaimed "You're alive!" "Where were you, we looked everywhere- oh who's this" she said noticing my presence. I was about to respond when Satoru said

"He's Akito he helped me get back home"

"Is this true?"she questioned. I nodded not being able to find the words

"I-I guess I'll be going then."I stammered

"What why?" Satoru asked obviously sad

"Because I don't think your family would like to keep someone like me" I replied when a Leafeon appeared from around the corner

"Who are you what did you do to our son" he growled while using swords dance

"Relax honey. He's the one that brought him back"the Glaceon said calming the Leafeon

"I'm sorry I've just been tense since he disappeared" the Leafeon apologized

"No it's fine I was just leaving" I replied

"No please stay it's the least we could do" insisted the Leafeon

"No I couldn't bother you that much"I replied turning to leave then almost immediately after the nagging pain in my shoulder flared up again "Oh shi-" I wasn't even able to finish the thought before I fell unconscious

"help me" I heard telepathically

"Satoru when did you learn to-"

"No it's...,help I'm Ke..chi" he heard the voice stop and saw an image flash in his mind a room that was in disrepair with a strange device in the center a small red figure floating in some sort of liquid

...

I woke in a room on a bed "where am I" I asked myself then remembered passing out

"Hey you're awake" Satoru say cheerfully

"What happened?" I asked stupidly

"You passed out from the poison in the cut. If you had left you could have died" said the Eevee unable to mask the concern in his voice

"How did I get here?"

"My dad brought you in and then my mom treated the wound"responded

"Did you-"

"No I haven't told them anything yet" said Satoru almost reading my mind. Then the Leafeon walked into the room

"I'm glad to see you're alive,I never even got to thank you" he said

"How long was I out?"

"One day, and Satoru wouldn't leave your side for a second. He seems worried are you sure you're all right?"the Leafeon asked sounding very concerned and somewhat relieved. I was surprised for three reasons one why had they helped me, two how could I have been stupid enough not to realize I was poisoned after all it had been by a Toxicroak,and three what was that dream, it felt like it was... important. I kept pondering this while the Leafeon helped me out of the room, i limped over to what seemed to be the living room and saw the Glaceon storing things in the next room

"Oh he's up" she said

"I thought that they weren't going to be nice"I thought

"why are you so skinny."the Glaceon asked

"Well I haven't had a decent meal in over a year"I answered

"Also umm, your rings aren't yellow did you get your shininess from one of your parents"asked the Leafeon

"I don't know my mom wasn't shiny and my Dad..."I replied the question bringing back painful memories and bitterness

"So what happened where were you two"asked the Leafeon

"well I got lost in the woods and..."said Satoru as he began recounting our journey leaving some things out on purpose

"But why did they capture you" the Glaceon asked

"I don't know they said something about test subjects"was Satoru's reply

"that's strange what for?"the Leafeon asked

"I don't know"I replied "but I do know who's to blame for all of this"

"well why don't we get some lunch" said the Glaceon thankfully changing the topic . as we ate the berries the Leafeon said "were running low on food I'll go into town to buy some later"

"No I can go if you prefer" replied Satoru

"No after going through all that you shouldn't have to bother yourself with that"

"Huh why?"asked Satoru

"Because you might get lost again" said the Glaceon

"If you'd like I'll go with him "I replied they seemed to consider it for a moment then the Leafeon said

"well I can't argue with that you've proven your responsibility already,but it's getting late you should go tomorrow instead"

"all right" Satoru said *knock knock*

"I'll get it" the leafeon said standing up and walking to the door talking with someone for a while before walking back with two umbreon in fatigues following him, one shiny that looked to be about 5 years older than me and the other normal but around my age, both of them with silver eyes.

"who are you, FNK?" I asked them narrowing my eyes

they both laughed as I said this "not on my life" the Shiny one said

"we're pretty much the opposite" the other said "and I forgot how scrawny you were when we met" he said chuckling a bit as he looked me in the eye.

"Satoru stop being creepy" the older one said pulling him away from me

"wait that's my name" Satoru said
"ours" the Umbreon corrected "since I am you and all" he said taking out a flask and drinking a bit of it's contents

"you'll regret that in the morning" the older one said watching him drink the contents of the flask

"no I won't" the younger one countered

"do I need to remind you what happened a certain evening in hearthome?"

"no I very distinctly remember you disgustingly drunk"

"at least I held mine in, you couldn't keep a half-liter"

"so who are you?" I asked

"well like Satoru said he's the same person as him" The older umbreon said gesturing at the eevee

"and I'm you" he said leaning down a bit"

"I must still have some of that poison in me" I said "or I'm hallucinating"

"eh… different poison in my case" the older version of me said

"sure" I said "and if you're us from the future then what are you here for?" I asked

"simple we're just here to say one thing" older Satoru said

"go for the convoy"


if you're rereading this you might notice that I took out a few things and added a scene at the end, I did this so that it would go with the rest of the story better… also fixed my sucky grammar
