Thanks to Sky if Stars who reviewed since that last chapter! Sorry about the shortness, this one will be much longer.
Blitz the Cyndaquill was sent in by Sky of Stars. As you will see, he got more than a cameo.
On with the show!
Bright the Eevee's POV
The Eevee twitched in her sleep, nightmares of what had happened not too long ago haunting her.
A group of Pokemon was waking up, padding out of trees and shallow dens in the ground. The large clearings was filled with Pokemon of all kinds; Growlithe, Nidoran and evolutions, Chikorita, basically, name a land Pokemon, it was there, with the exception of a few bird Pokemon. All had gathered here to live in peace and help one another.
Bright was just waking up in her family's den, being a hollowed oak, with her sister, an Espeon named Dawn sitting beside her.
"Morning sleepy-head," Dawn teased affectionally. "Mother and Father are all ready out there. Come on." The purple cat-like Pokemon lead the way out of the oak tree into the semi-crouded clearing. Small piles of berries and other normal fruit abounded, with Pokemon around eating and chatting.
"Bright, Dawn! Over here!" a friendly voice called. Bright turned and her parents, her mother a Glaceon and father an Umbreon. They sat near a fruit pile, the Glaceon waving her tail in 'hello' and the Umbreon gazing with her crimson eyes warmly. The two sisters made their ways over, and they in turn sat down.
Bright loved her family, and the group. Everyone was kind and pitched in. At night Fire Pokemon set a fire in the middle of the clearing to help everyone keep warm.
After the exchanging of pleasantries and a few apples, the unofficial leader of the group, an Arcanine by the name of Inferno, sorted out the tasks for the day. All Bright cared about was her task, but she did hear about Dawn's task of taking a group to scout the territory perimeter.
Bright was paired with her friend Blitz, a young Cyndaquill to the task of gathering food. Bright smiled. Gathering food was easy and fun, and Blitz was very funny and kind. Pokemon left the camp to fulfill their jobs, and the crowd lessened.
Blitz trotted over a smile on his face.
"Ready to go, Bright?" he asked.
"You bet!" The Eevee replied, getting to her paws and bounding out of camp into the forest, Blitz right behind her.
Thirty minutes later...
Bright and Blitz were heading back to camp, jaws laden with fruit. Bright twitched her ears.
"Stop," she said to the Cyndaquill, who obeyed. Cries of pain and fear filled the air.
"Come on!" Blitz cried, dropping his berries and rushing to a hill overlooking the clearing.
It was filled with twice more Pokemon than ever.
It was filled with Fire Pokemon, and the trees and plants were burning.
Members if the group fought, lay still, or cowered in fear.
Bright sucked in a breath.
Her family lay on the dirt, pelts singed and torn.
None were moving.
"Hey! Up there!" A gruff voice called. A Vulpix and a Growlithe peeled away from the attackers.
"RUN!" Blitz said. "I'll hold them off!" Bright turned and ran, a blast of fire nearly hitting her. Pawsteps followed her, and she turned her head to see the Vulpix giving chase. Sharp teeth grabbed her back paw, and Bright tripped, wincing. She tryed to get up, only to be pinned by the Vulpix.
"Too easy," the Vulpix sneered. He opened his mouth and let out of flurry of embers, singing her fur as they hit. She whimpered, trying to push the Vulpix off. But to no avail. Bright just lay her head on the ground and hoped for salvation.
I'm defenseless. I don't know any attacks.
Claws scratching, teeth biting, crude laughter. Finally the Vulpix got off and charged back to battle.
Bright weakly got her paws and crawled away. The next few minutes were a blur of pain and tears, then she reached a sandy clearing much like her home and collapsed in the center, hoping some kind Pokemon would come and help. Bright closed her eyes, exhausted and aching. The world faded into black.
End of Flash-back
Cassandra the Vulpix's POV
Cassandra opened her eyes as the sun hit them. She yawned and sat up, relishing the heat on her back. She blinked to clear her eyes, then remembered the Eevee. Cassandra looked over at her. The Eevee was still asleep, twitching and whimpering.
Must be a nightmare.
Cassandra reached over with a paw, shaking the Eevee's shoulder.
"No..." The Eevee whimpered. "Dawn... Blitz... Help..."
"Hey," Cassandra said softly. "Wake up. You're safe now." the Eevee groggily opened her brown eyes, and they looked around warily. They came to rest on Cassandra, who stared back. The Eevee cowered in fear slowly getting to her paws and backing away a step.
"No... No! Please! No!" The Eevee cried, fear in her eyes.
"Hey, it's okay," Cassandra soothed sitting down. "No one will hurt you here. You are safe."
"Dawn? Blitz? Are they safe?"
"I don't know a Blitz or a Dawn," Cassandra admitted.
"Why'd you attack us?"
"What? I didn't attack anyone. I hate real fighting. I don't know what you're talking about."
The Eevee sighed sadly.
"Promise you won't hurt me."
"I promise. I'm the one who healed you. I'm not going to ask what happened; you can tell me both when your better and if you feel like it. What's your name, though?"
"I'm Bright. You?"
"I'm Cassandra. You can stay here as long you like and need. I'll enjoy the company very much. I get lonely." The Eevee nodded, then lay her head back down.
"I'll be back," Cassandra told Bright. "I'm going to get food. Won't be long!" The Vulpix turned and headed into woods to an apple tree nearby.
