Foreign Visitor

If what she thought was true, that he wanted to evolve, then she had to tell the elders. She scrambled for the temple in all the chaos. Pokémon were going all over themselves to see the ruling of the visitor. Finally she found herself at the edge of the court. Trying to hear she fell and landed on the last row at the bottom, best seat in the house.

"Why are you here?" asked an older looking Gengar. Looking up to face his rival, the eevee spoke.

"Why not? This is the home of another eevee isn't it? So why can't I come and stay for a while?" Male. Young but not too young; looked to be about 16-18. Evolving age. Efiel too was evolving age; she just hadn't chosen which one she wanted to evolve into.

With a shock, she realized who he was talking about, her. But how had he known about her? She knew no one in the normal kingdom! With growing curiosity, she listened more closely. "You should know the rules and the expectations. She is the daughter of one of our own and therefore a citizen of the ghost kingdom. You, however, are not."

"Yes and no. I am no citizen here but neither is she. Her parents live in the normal kingdom and therefore she is a citizen of the normal kingdom." The word parents made her cringe. She had never known them; all that she knew was that her egg had rolled into Nancy's Ruin Block. The only parent she had ever known was Mismagius. His tone wasn't inviting either. He seemed arrogant.

"She has lived here for as long as she has known, she is no citizen of yours. Is she the only reason you are here?"

"Yes. I have come to take what is rightfully ours, she deserves the chance to see her options, rather than live in this spooky dump; she could live with us. Or, she could live with the ice types, or the electric, or whichever of the eight she chooses. It should be her choice, not yours." His smile was not very pleasing. Who was this guy and who did he think he was? Yes it's true, ghosts and normal types have a horrible reputation between each other. But it was the same as fire and water, electric and ground. What was this guy's problem, couldn't he leave her alone?

"Who says we have chosen for her, who says that she hasn't chosen to live here?" Then again the Gengar's smile wasn't very pleasing either. His was more haunting than unforgiving though. Were they going to send her to live with her actual parents or what? She wasn't even sure she knew exactly what was going on. Her mother never taught her the laws, just right from wrong.

"Look, grumpy, I'm not here to take her away forever, just a few months. We have been keeping an eye on her for a few years now and realized she never got to go on her evolution trip. An evolution trip is where a Pokémon who has more than one option can go with others of that same Pokémon and explore which evolution it wants to evolve into. Eevee's normally go on this trip anywhere between 15-18 years of age. So, we are formally inviting her to ours, seeing as there are no other eevees in your… choice of settlement, let's just say. Well? What do you think?" He began pacing with a quizzical look. The elders mumbled, they must be deciding. Pokémon has begun to look at her and wonder if she really belonged.

All this shocked her. Why now? Why the sudden interest? Did her parents want her back? If that was the case she would fight and she would fight till the end of her life to stay here if she had to. She did not want to meet these Pokémon, after all they abandoned her! Did they just want her back to screw with the ghost kingdom? And what was all this about an "evolution trip"? Whatever it was she did not want to attend. She liked being an eevee and did not want to change. Suddenly the elders turned to face the unwelcomed eevee.

"She is only 15, the youngest you have to be to go on the trip right? Well then why not wait three years for her to mature more, hmm? Have you been on this trip, because you seem pretty content with the way you are and you're only an eevee!" Gengar leaned back in his chair. He thinks he's won. How? How could something so…different be so easy?

"Because an offer as generous as this one may never come up again. And no, I have not been but I don't need to go. I know what I want to evolve into. A jolteon." With this the eevee sat back down, confident in his answer. Gengar sat back up in his chair, this wasn't over, and the eevee wasn't going to make it easy either. Suddenly Gengar's expression changed, he had a thought.

"Fine, we will let Efiel decide. And let the choice be hers and hers alone." He said the last bit almost growling at the man

As the crowd turned to let her through the isles she became nervous. Slowly walking to the main part of the room she wandered what she would say, what her first question would be. Why did Gengar want her to talk to this guy, he was weird for cry 'in out loud!

As she placed her paws directly in front of Gengar facing the other eevee, she knew, she knew what she would ask. Looking up to look this foreign visitor in the eyes she asked "Who are you and why come for me now?"
