The Strength of an Eevee
chapter 2 Please, don't tell Mom, we're in trouble
It was just a normal day, I was at my fighting class with Hunter and we trained hard like normal. I left early like I always do and snuck into the forest. Yes, I know were not allowed to go into the forest but I have my reasons.
When I was little I wondered into the forest while looking for Arrow but then I just kinda stayed, I felt safe there so I didn't leave and now I go there every day.
I went deep into the forest to meet up with my friends. My friends are great, they were a playful cubone, a grumpy nidoran(female), a cheerful rattata, a fearless shinx, and a protective zorua. They are the best and so much fun, I always play with them and I love to battle them too.
I gave them some berries and waited for them to be done eating but then they just stopped and stared above me. Rattata was the first to run away but was followed by my other friends. I turned around and prepared to protect my friends from a vicious pokemon but when I turned around I saw my sister and fear took over.
I stared at her but in my head I was screaming at myself. "How could I let this happen?! How did she find me, she's a tracker you idiot, she probably had no trouble finding you"!
I just stood there while she just looked all sad at me. She started to move, she jumped off the log and walked up to me. "Whats going on?" She sounded really hurt and upset but if I tried to talk I would probably sound like that too. I looked at her , she looked like she really wanted a answer.
"please don't tell Mom',
That's all that I was able to say but I knew she wanted more so I began to speak again.
"Those guys were my friends, and they live here so I come here alot". She looked at me still but she seamed a little better than before. I turned around and called out to my friends, then they all came out one by one.
" Arrow, these are my friends. This is Silkman the cubone, Rocker the nidoran, Titan the rattata, Shadow the Shinx, and Chief the zorua. They're all my friends and I come here a lot to play with them." She still just looked at me but then she looked at all my friends then she began to speak. "Why wouldn't you tell someone" she said and looked back at me.
" I thought I would get in trouble" I said, I was still scared she would disapprove but I think she's beginning to understand.
" But why wouldn't you tell me? I never thought you would lie to me like this"? I knew she was hurt so I tried to cheer her up.
"Do you want to play with us?" I asked hoping she would want to , she started looking at them again. "But we're not allowed and we could get in trouble" she said in a sad voice. "Well I haven't gotten caught yet". I looked back at all my friends and they looked like they were getting impatient.
"no". I looked back at Arrow, did she really just say no to playing with her sister and a bunch of strangers? "What, you don't want to play with us?" I said, shocked.
She looked back at me, "I'm sorry". She said. I was about to ask what she was sorry for but then she started to run towards home.
She was gonna tell Mom, I'd never be able to come back here! "Wait No!" I yelled as I chased after her. She's always been faster than me but I know these woods like the back of my paw.
"Stop!" I yelled but she kept going. I stopped running and started to climb a tree ,something I knew she couldn't do, then I started chasing her from above. I was gonna tackle her, we both knew I was stronger, but then she stopped running.
She got flung up in a net and hung in the tree. You have to look out for pokemon hunter trapps around here.
"SCOUT, HELP ME!" she yelled, I ran right over and tried to get her down. The net was pretty big, it was probably meant for pokemon way bigger than us. I tried to chew through the net but it was really thick and strong. I used swift and that cut it some but not enough.
I kept on using moves on the net and it started to work but it slowly working. While I was trying to get my sister out I heard a noise. I've never heard that noise before, I stopped so I could hear more clearly. I looked and found for where the sound was coming from, it was a truck.
Chief told me he almost got run over by one. I thought about a story my mom told me, it was about a glaceon and a pokemon hunter. The glaceon was caught in a net and taken away. This guy in the truck coming is probably a pokemon hunter.
I immediately started using swift over and over again to break the net. The net got closer to breaking but the truck got closer too. After one last swift the net fell and Arrow fell to the ground. The car stopped in front of her and she ran behind a tree as the man got out of the car.
The man started running towards Arrow, she tried run but he grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, "Gotcha" he said. I was really scared but I knew I had to do something, I jumped out of the tree onto the mans head and bit him. "Ow! STOP THAT" He yelled. I used hidden power on his hand to get him to let go of my sister. He dropped her and she ran away.
" That's It!" he yelled as he pulled out a pokeball. "Go, Manectric! Out of the pokeball came a red light, it started to form the shape of a pokemon. The pokemon came from the red light and looked straight at me. It was a dog looking pokemon with a yellow and blue head and a blue body, it had claws and fangs and I was gonna have to fight this thing.
I immediately jumped off the man and started running. "Get it!" he said to his pokemon, it growled and started running after me. I started running faster but I suddenly felt pain pulse through my body, I looked back at the pokemon who was now electrocuting me. I turned and used hidden power on it, it hit him in the face which made him stop using the electric move. I got back up and ran away as he used a thunder bolt and hit me again but it stopped right after it hit me.
I turned around to see what happened and what I saw scared me but made me happy. Arrow was attacking the pokemon and was dodging all his moves. I used this time to prepare a sneak attack, I climbed a near by tree and got on a branch right over them. I then used quick attack to get some speed and jumped off the tree, I used swift as I was about to hit the manectric. I hit him and he stopped attacking us for a couple seconds but then it got back up
"MANECTRIC!" the pokemon hunter yelled,"USE DISCHARGE!" electricity started coming from manectric, we began to run as the electricity surrounded us. We then felt the pain of the electricity going through our bodies, it fricken hurt.
As soon as it ended we fell, we didn't faint but I really felt like fainting. I looked up to see Manectric being attacked by a zorua, it was Chief! I got up but then fell over again but when I looked back all my friends were fighting.
I quickly got up and grabbed Arrow and tried to get her to saftey. I guess Manectric noticed us because we got hit by a blast of electricity. I looked at Arrow, I guess that one made her faint. I got back up and finished taking Arrow behind a bush, she was covered in scratches and burns and was pretty badly hurt but she was ok.
I got back up and ran back to keep fighting, Chief and Silkman were the only ones still fighting. I used quick attack on manectric while Chief used foul play, Silkman tried to use headbutt but was hit by a hyper beam and fainted but then manectric couldn't move. I hit him with a quick attack and a couple hidden powers. Manectric used thunder fang on Chief which made him faint.
Manectric looked at me and growled so I growled back. "I'm not afraid of you" I said, I lied. He started using thunder bolt again but I dodged it. Then he used thunder fang but I dodged that too. It went like that for a while, I used to think you wouldn't need to dodge as long at you kept attacking but now I know that was wrong. After a while I started attacking again landing most my attacks.
I was doing fine until he used discharge, I ran but I knew I couldn't escape that move. I got hit and the impact of the move flung me super hard tail first into a tree. I'm rather grateful it was just my tail but it really hurt. I looked at my tail and there was a lot of blood coming from it. I looked at the tree and I noticed there a small, firm, and sharp branch that I got hit deep into my tail."Berries won't heal this" I said quietly to myself as I watched blood come from my tail.
I was starting to feel light headed and my vision was going blurry. I felt myself being lifted by my neck scruff, I tried to attack whatever grabbed me but I could reach. I looked to see who it was, my vision was blurry but I could tell it wasn't a pokemon. It was the pokemon hunter, I squirmed and kicked but he had a firm grip on my scruff.
"That was too much work for a little eevee but you're a good fighter, you'll sell nicely."
He put me in a metal cage and locked it, in all that I didn't realize that Arrow had gotten up and left. He put me in the back of his truck and went to the front, the back made it so I could see everything behind the truck. I then heard something screaming my name, It could be Arrow but she's pretty weak now so that might not be her. As the voice got closer I noticed that it was actually several voices. I tried to say something but I was too weak to even squeak. The truck started and it began to move but rather slowly.
"over here" I said weakly as I tried to stand up, a bump of the truck made me fall. I looked and out of the bushes came my family. Arrow was being carried by my mom's psychic as she told my dad what happened. "help" I said a little louder and tried to get up again, some electricity was still in me and I got a little shock which made me trip. Hunter was the fastest out of everyone, he tried to jump on the truck but wasn't fast enough.
The truck was leaving the forest that I've never been outside of before. Our home is in a field in the middle of the forest so I've never been out here this far before. As the truck sped up I was forced to close my eyes because of the sun. I tried to get up once more and called for my family but I could no longer hear them. The truck hit a rock and that made me bounce up and hit my head on the cage. I held on for as long as I could but I couldn't anymore. I let go, stopped trying, and fainted.
