A/N
Randy: I'm back with another chapter! Thanks to Aquatic for reviewing!
(Minor Swearing... If you really care...) PLease excuse the chapter length!
(Ventus' P.O.V)
I awoke to the sound of crashing waves. I got up dizzily but began to stumble, everything was so hazy. I rubbed my eye but quickly sneezed because of something tickling my nose. I glanced down at my hand to see it wasn't a hand... but a paw. My eyes widened and I screamed. I slowly opened my eyes hoping I was dreaming but, I wasn't.
"What the- How the- Oh my god." I looked around frantically, where was my tent? Or my bag, nothing was there! To top it off I was on a damned beach! The only possession I had, was that pocket watch the man from yesterday gave me, laying in the sand.
"Ugh... I need some water." I walked over to the water and glanced down.
"A- An Eevee! Why am I an Eevee!? This is so fucking weird... Maybe that dream actually meant something." I thought scratched the tuft of fur on my head looking back in the water I realized the only thing that remained the same from my human body was my eyes, they were still purple.
Well I guess this is a new start for me... But where do I go... Is there something I'm supposed to do? Argh... This is so stupid.
I lay on the soft sand groaned.
I glanced at the pocket watch. It had to be of some significance seeing as it was the only item that came with me to the "Pokémon World" with me. Grabbing it by the chain with a lot of effort I managed to get around my neck.
"Why are you here?" I looked up to see an angry looking... what is this pokemon?I looked around to see that my compass was glowing. Before I could react the glow faded and the color returned.
"I said why are you here!?" He was now growling.
I shrugged. "I dunno."
"Heh. This is my turf. Get off now." He said angrily.
"Uhh this is a beach, and your a-... Houndoom! Aren't you a Fire type?" I said.
His anger flared, and he began to breathe deeply. Suddenly the pocket watch around my neck glowed again and the color faded. He launched a plume of flames which seem to move incredibly slow. Still not fully adjusted to my body, I rolled over. The flames continued to move slowly as I got up and quickly began to run... or attempt to. I saw his eye slowly watch me run. He slowly clamped his mouth shut and began to turn around. Then the color began to come back and he began to give chase, faster too.
Almost tripping over my feet for the umpteenth time I glanced back to see him gaining up.
"Whats wrong hatching? Daddy didn't teach ya to run! Its been so long since I had I nice fresh Eevee... a shiny one at that!" He yelled behind me, leaping forward he clamped down on my back leg. I quickly kicked him in the eye and he let go.
"Ah shit..." I tried to run but it was really hard.
I stopped trying to run and tried to focus on the footing. Slowly my form got better and I began to run faster, but still with a lot of pain. Now the Houndoom was at a safe distance.
"Dammit! A runt like you aint worth this chase! I'll just eat a freaking fish... Just don't come back around here if you know whats good for ya!" The Houndoom said as he walked back to the beach.
I managed to drag myself to a nearby tree. Then I began to black out.
Sparky's P.O.V
I walked through the woods slowly I was so nice to get out. Between all the mayhem about the secret "Uprising" and other bullshit, the guild had been giving my team hell. So much so that our 4th member Crystal left. She was so nice, all she wanted to do is help... I stopped dead in my tracks as an all to familiar scent reached my nose.
"Blood... and it's fresh..." I began to follow the scent and saw a Eevee laying on next to a tree. It's eyes we closed.
"Oh, Man." I said.
I quickly ran back to the guild.
"Please make it..." I said wearily.
I reached the guild rather quickly and ran in. I ran into the Guildmaster's office, and boy was he mad as hell.
"HOW DARE YOU BARGE IN HERE-"
"*huff* Eevee *huff* bleeding out in Applewood Forest."
The Alakazam's eyes widened.
"Get the medics." He said to the Sceptile next to him.
"Yes Guildmaster." The Sceptile left hastily.
"Sparky... return to your quarters." The Guildmaster said.
"Aww come on its sooo borin-"
"Go!" The Guildmaster yelled his eyes flashing blue as I was tossed out the room and the door was shut.
I got up and walked away... I hoped the Eevee survived. Walking down the staircase I walked down the dimly lit corridor. Coming upon my team door, I quickly looked it over. It had the word Legends scratched into the wood. I pushed it open.
I plopped down on the nest-like bed that the guild provided each team member.
"*Sigh* Sooooo Bored... where are they?" I lay on the ground with my head on my paws, my other team members, Scarlet and Smokey were on a mission. THe dungeon was 2 only, so we played tick tak toe for it. I of course lost.
"Maybe they got that Eevee to the infirmary... nothing else to do here, Ill just see if it made it."
I made my way down the corridor to the staircase, the only thing lighting my path was the star-like appendage on the end of my tail.
Ven's P.O.V
"Ugh..." I got up to see I was on a soft bed. To my left was my pocket watch laying next to me. I tried to grab it but found I lacked the strength.
"Nice to see your up." I looked to the source of the voice to see a Sceptile sitting in a chair next to me.
I glanced in his direction but remained silent.
"May I ask how you met a Houndoom in Applewood Forest?" He said leering at me.
Glaring back at him I spoke calmly. "I was on a beach and he attacked me."
"Hm. I assume your new around here, correct?"
I nodded.
"Well the Houndoom you met is known as Luther, and you my friend are lucky to live."
"Well, thanks for the save, now if, you don't mind, I'll be taking my leave." I said nervously as I regained the strength to stand.
"Heh, it's not that simple. You see, that little patch up on your leg cost supplies, supplies cost money." He said slowly.
"I don't know if you can tell but I have no money."
"Then my friend you will have to work for us." The Sceptile chuckled.
I resisted the urged to groan.
"How long do I have to "work", huh" I asked now sitting up.
"A week give or take." He said.
"So what type of work is this."
"You will be joining a team right here at the guild!" He said gleefully.
"When do I start?"
"Follow me." He said.
"One moment." I said as I struggled to put on the pocket watch.
After a couple of minutes I figured out how to maneuver my paws to grasp the chain and put it around my neck.
"Done?" He said.
"Yup."
