Part two! I've actually written a lot of this story, didn't have any plan on sharing it until one of my friends read it and said it was pretty good. Sooooooo... Enjoy!
"Thanks for the help, Delta!" Mrs. Melanie said cheerfully, looking up at me. Her little eevee eyes glittering.
"No thanks needed, Mrs Melanie, I just like like to help" I reply, setting the last of her furniture down in a corner with my mind.
"Although I'm still curious why you don't want to evolve, all the adults and most of the teens already have" I looked at her curiously.
"Well... I'm not entirely sure meself." She chuckled nervously, shifting her weight from paw to paw. "Although, I haven't really made up my mind on which evolution I want, it's a big decision after all."
I know exactly what she was talking about, sometimes I wondered what It would be like if I hadn't become an espeon.
"I get it, sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a leafeon and Work in the gardens or be a vaporeon and be able to breathe underwater. But that doesn't mean I regret my evolution, if anything, it reminds me why I chose it."
I turn to leave, opening the wooden door of the cave with my mind.
"Let me know if you ever need more help, see ya later, Mrs. Melanie!" Her girlish voice said goodbye behind me and assuring me if she needed help I'd be the first to know. As I walked out of the small cave Mrs. Melanie calls home into a much, much, larger crescent shaped cave. The opening covered from the outside by an incredibly loud waterfall. There was eevee everywhere,along with just about every kind of eeveelution.
Leafeon were tending to a massive garden, flareon we're keeping a blazing furnace going. Sylveon were herding groups of eevee, jolteon were performing various tasks, and espeon were everywhere,lifting crates, digging out new tunnels for homes, and in the center of the massive eevee community, a battle arena.
I never cared much about fighting, although learning to was a requirement to living in this thriving community. The only eeveelution you couldn't see are umbreon, because they worked in the lower tunnels or were out patrolling the borders of the territory at night and slept throughout the day.
I head towards the gardens, passing gawking eevee and looks of repect from various espeon, greeting the few I actually know. Avoiding the larger groups of eevee and answering questions briefly, it still took me almost a solid hour to reach the gardens
A leafeon wearing Charlie's armband was tending to a basket overflowing with different kinds of berries.
"Hi, Delta!" She greets me happily. "Looking for Charlie?" I nod so she called for her boss.
An incredibly thin and old leafeon hobbles out of a cluster of berry bushes, a deep frown on his normally cheerful face. A green bandanna with a leafeon paw print on it hung loosely from his neck.
"Thank Arceus! I got something to show ya, Delta" he motioned for the other leafeon to leave, she obeyed without so much as a second glance. He turned away, not even pausing to take a breath and headed for the waterfall
"Last night a riolu was seen at the edge of the lake, at least, we thought, but when we got close enough to the...Pokémon" he said the last word as if he wasn't sure what he found was. "Was actually an umbreon" he paused, letting me digest that
"Okay" I said slowly.
" he woke up about an hour ago" after that he took off at a run, shoving any Pokémon that was in his way aside. I just used my mind to nudge them aside.
"Did you really have to tie me up?" I ask one of the espeon guarding me (as they put it, but I kinda feel more like a prisoner). No answer, of course. They were trying really hard to not show that they were scared of me (they're failing, horribly).
When I came to, I was laying on my side, as an umbreon. I quickly changed back into a riolu, scaring the holy hell out of the espeon. They were quick to tie my paws behind my back.
"Ya know, it's not very nice to ignore someone that's trying to talk to you" I frown, looking directly into the espeons eyes.
"Can you see me through that blindfold?" He asked, surprise saturating his voice.
"Of course, it's not really meant to blind me, only to keep my eyes hidden" I answer honestly. He looked like he wanted to say something else when yet another espeon (why are there so many?) walked in followed by a leafeon with a bandanna around his neck.
The espeon had one too, except his is a deep red color with an espeon paw print on it. He oozed authority and self confidence.
The guards hurried out of the room, clearly relieved to leave, while the leafeon stared at me with a mixture of horror, revulsion, and confusion. I nearly laughed at the expression.
"Hiya! I'm Delta." The espeon said after sitting in front of me, his paw extended.
"Trax," I reply "I'd greet you properly but I kinda can't " I turn to show him my bound paws.
"Sorry 'bout the security. Charlie!" The last part was spoken to the leafeon, who flinched.
"Yeah?"
"Untie him" Charlie mumbled the entire time about some unholy demon that somebody named giratina second he had finished freeing me, I shook put my paw on top of the espeons, Deltas, paw
"Okay," he began, taking a deep breath. "First question, are you an umbreon or a riolu" he looked embarrassed to even ask it.
"I was born an eevee" he looked relieved that I wasn't offended. "I evolved into an umbreon , when I did I found out that I could, can, change my shape into a few different Pokémon. I can't stay in most of them for more than a few hours. Although I can stay a riolu as long as I'm awake"
Delta sat there for awhile.
"Could you show me your other... forms" he asked, bringing a worried expression from Charlie.
"N, no" I stuttered from the directness, but the leafeon looked relieved.
"Both me and Charlie would love to know why you can change your shape" he smiled while Charlie looked like he's going to throw up.
Pursing my lips, I hesitantly reach up and take my blindfold off
"Nope! This is to much for me!" With that Charlie left the room, mumbling the entire way. Delta just sat there, his head tilted slightly in concentration.
"Could change back into an umbreon?" He asked slowly, "or more specifically, could I watch you change?"
Instead of answering, I pictured myself as an I am: a green eyed riolu. The mental picture morpmed into an umbreon. Tingling energy spread through my body. Thick, black smoke seeped from my changing form. Almost as soon qs it started, it stopped. I stood there, feeling weirdly naked.
The Epseon stood there, shocked, although he hid his surprise well.
"Any more questions?" I ask, looking away.
"Yeah, just one," he moved closer. "Can I see your eyes?"
"Youre alot calmer then everyone else I've shown."
"I've seen a lot more than most pokemon,," he chuckled, "anyway, you seem safe enough. Tell me trax, do you have a place to live?" I blink in surprise.
"No, bad things tend to follow me." I reply bluntly.
"Well, if your interested, I can give you a place to stay."
"Oh, ugh, sure," I say, stunned.
"Then let's get going, I have the perfect place to put you. His name is Lamda." He said as he got up and headed out the door. "Also, stay an umbreon when your out in the cave."
I wondered why he said that.
i apologize it's taken so long to post the next chapter, got a lot going on. Thanks for reading!
