Hey look, I'm back again. Well hello, how are you. I'm kidding, like I care… jk. I kinda had to split up the chapter as this was getting too long, plus it's been too long. Anyways, let us continue where we left off.


Ch 3

"Are we there yet?" Breeze asked in her now usually annoyed voice. She had asked this question many times before, hoping to get a different answer, but would get the same response. That response would be…

"Almost, just a bit more"

At this point, Midnight sounded desperate; it was honestly really sad to hear. She knew how much he wanted to get there. After the first few days of complaining, he was actually excited and wanted to get there as quickly as possible. Though them traveling quickly didn't exactly happen as they took many wrong turns.

They traveled for a bit longer. By then, they were both tired, but they kept on going until sunset, when Breeze finally said something.

"Midnight, can we stop for the day? My pads are killing me." She was already annoyed by how much they walked. For her, It was obvious his feet was hurting also, so why didn't he just stop. They weren't close, if they were he would be able to smell it from here.

"Um… Yeah sure. I guess we can find a place to rest until tomorrow." Midnight was audibly upset about this, though he also understood why she wanted to stop. They have been walking for 2 seasons everyday now, which the glaceon definitely wasn't used to. Of course, he could still travel at night, but the glaceon was more important in the end.

They quickly found some cover under a small cliff, which Breeze instantly fell as soon as she was under.

"Ugh, thank god. My pads are killing me." She wanted to rest forever by this point, they've been walking so much that she was tired of it a season ago. But by then it was too late, the deed was done.

He looked at her for a bit, wondering how far they were, hopefully not too far. He sighed, before saying, "Okay, well I'm gonna' look around for food. I'll be right back." She shook her head, before he went on his way.

He walked for a bit, looking around for something decent to eat, but after a while, got distracted in his thoughts. Why am I so obsessed with getting back? Was there something so important that I needed to get back so quickly? Maybe it was wanting to see my parents, or old friends. Either way, Breeze is obviously getting tired of walking all the time. Maybe we should take a small bre-

He was soon brought back to life as a bush started to shake. He quickly froze, waiting for something to pop out, before moving towards it. Right before he peeked inside, a small houndour popped out and quickly tried to tackle the umbreon.

With Midnight not expecting anything to do that, he was quickly dominated by the smaller pokemon. He was at first clueless as to what had happened, and was just staying still, but was soon realizing his mistake. He was about to question the houndour, but was beat out.

"H-Hey, what are you d-doing in my territory." Even though he was trying as hard to look frightening towards the larger pokemon, his voice gave away how he truly felt. Midnight, not really taking this whole thing seriously after first being tackled, soon realized this houndour had no experience fighting. He quickly got up, pushing the young pup off of him.

Before he was able to leave, the houndour quickly ran up to Midnight and quickly bit his leg. The umbreon being surprised, shrieked and quickly shook the pup off without caring for his health. Luckily, the bite wasn't too bad, but he was upset at the sudden attack. "What the hell?"

The houndour, being proud for even being able to bite him in the first place, proudly said, "You're not getting away that easily. Fight me first." After that, he moved to a pouncing stance, getting ready to battle.

The umbreon, on the other paw, was confused about what he just said. Did he really want me to fight him? He'll probably die if I use an actually move on him. He thought about what to do for a bit, before saying, "You sure about this, 'cause you're don't seem that experienced." The houndour nodded excitedly, shaking out of his battle stance. He quickly noticed this and moved back like nothing happened. Midnight smirked, before assuming his position.

The houndour was the first to move, quickly coming up and using ember. Midnight decided not to dodge it, and instead let the move hit. Luckily, there was no other pain, so he wasn't on fire or burned. He quickly shook it off, and shot a medium sized shadow ball. Like the umbreon, the houndour tried to take the hit. Unlike the umbreon though, when the ball came into contact, the houndour flew into a nearby bush.

Uhhh, maybe that was too large? I should probably go check if he's alright. The umbreon quickly ran to the bush the houndour was in, and found him to be laying still. Fear struck Midnight, as he quickly picked up the smaller pokemon out of the bush to check his vitals. Before Midnight could, he saw the houndour's chest slowly rising and lowering. Midnight quickly calmed down, before picking up the unconscious body and walking back to where he was staying.


Breeze was laying down, trying to rest her sore feet. She was absolutely tired from walking everyday, her paws were red and blistered. Honestly, she just wanted to stop for a day just to take a break. How was he able to walk when he was younger, he walked for 10 seasons straight. I can barely do 2 at the moment.

She stayed in thought before she heard something moving. The glaceon quickly got up, ready to attack, before noticing that it was just Midnight. Breeze relaxed, before quickly doing a double take to see that there was something in his mouth. It took her a second to notice it was another pokemon. She might have been fine with that, as meat wasn't a problem for her, but it looked like a pup.

Breeze quickly asked, "Woah, what the hell is this?"

"Mmph, mmh mph mmph..." He carefully dropped him before repeating, "A houndour, he's still alive."

She sighed in relief. At least he's not a puppy killer, or at least I hope. "So then what is he doing here?"

Midnight was quiet for a bit, trying to find the right words. Slowly, he said, "Well, he wanted to fight, and he wouldn't let me go if I didn't. Sooo… I hit him with a shadow ball and kinda' knocked him unconscious." He noticed how idiotic that sounded, and readied himself to be yelled at for his stupidity.

After a bit of silence, he looked at the glaceon in front of him for any reaction, but there was none. He was ready for a reaction, but her quietness was really unsettling. Afraid of the silence, he then quickly added, "In retrospect, I probably should of just walked away an-"

"You hit a pup... because he attacked you?" she interrupted. She spoke slowly, emphasizing each word.

"I mean he was asking for it. He wanted to fight and didn't leave me alone. Plus, when he bit my leg, it actually was pretty painful." Midnight was now noticing how crazy it sounded that he fought against the houndour just because the kid bit him, but anything sounded better than just staying silent.

She sighed. "Still, was it really necessary for you to knock the kid unconscious? That's a bit too extreme." Breeze knew that he was a strong battler, but he was a bit too strong just to fight anyone, especially a kid.

"Yes."

She quickly looked at him, her face saying that he was speaking crap.

"Look, it's fine. He should wake up soon. At least by sunset," Midnight said.

Breeze sighed again, this time in defeat. This was going nowhere anyways "If he's dead, it's your fault." She saw Midnight smile, before laying down. The glaceon quickly laid beside him, enjoying not standing up anymore. Wait, aren't we forgetting something? Wait, I'm hungry. She quickly asked, "Oh, also where's the food?"

"Uhh, I'll be right back"


Nero started to wake up. Even though his mind told him to be alert as possible, his head also hurt a lot. He tried to focus on something instead of the pain, and started to hear voices near him. Worried, Nero opened his eyes, before shutting his eyes and groaning in pain. Why am I in so much pain? What did I do before?

"Hey, look who's awake," a male raspy voice said. He quickly stayed silent so he could think about what to do. Are they going to eat me? What's going to happen?

"Hey, stop being a jerk. Hey, are you ok? Eat this," said another voice, female this time. The black pup stayed still for a bit longer, before giving in and eating the item. He felt like he could trust the female, as she seemed more caring. Immediately, he started feeling better, and was soon able to open his eyes with minimal pain.

When Nero saw who his caretakers were, he was surprised to see the umbreon who he fought. He was scared after his previous attack almost killed him. The pup quickly tried to get up and run away, but his condition wasn't fully healed, as he soon fell over right as he got up.

A glaceon behind the black dog quickly ran toward Nero. She picked him up and sat him down, quickly said "Don't get up right now, you can get up soon. For now, just eat these berries." While he was afraid, the glaceon did calm him down a bit. He decided to stay until he could at least walk.

"Um, so what is your guys names?" He was curious who these pokemon were, as he has never heard them say their names.

The glaceon, seemingly excited over something, said, "Well, my name is Breeze." She smiled, before nudging towards the umbreon, "And that idiot over there is Midnight." The umbreon flashed a smile too, though Nero still didn't trust him.

"Oh, well my name is Nero." He was still very shy around the eeveelutions. He couldn't say whether to trust them or not. I'll just wait and see how this conversation plays out. Maybe they can hel-

"So, why did you attack me?" Nero slightly jumped. The question came out of nowhere, and as he was in thought. He was going to come up with something witty, but couldn't seem to tell if Midnight was acting serious or was just relaxed.

He ended up with just saying the truth, as that would be the better option in the end. "I kinda' got cocky after I bit you. I thought you were weaker than you were with how you reacted." Breeze quickly turned towards the umbreon. While Nero didn't know what look Breeze gave Midnight, he quickly started sweating purple beads.

"Why, how did he react?" Even though she never looked away from Midnight, Nero thought that question was directed towards him. He looked towards Midnight, who had a pleading look. He decided to tell the truth again, just to see what would happen.

"He seemed kinda scared. He screamed and shook me af if it hurt him."

The umbreon looked at Nero, and quickly stated, "It just shocked me, that's all. I would be surprised if someone wasn't startled when another pokemon harmed them without seeing it." It seemed to be more directed towards Breeze than him, though it did give them an answer to his overreaction.

The glaceon, on the other paw, was being humored by the umbreon's, and started laughing loudly. While Nero also found it slightly funny, he felt slightly bad for Midnight being humiliated. So as to change the tone, he added, "Your still pretty strong though. How did you learn to become so strong? You still seem young and that shadow ball looked so small."

He saw the umbreon quickly smile at his question, and Nero knew Midnight took his request to change the subject. Midnight quickly rushed over towards the still laughing Breeze, and covered her maw with his paw, eliciting a growl from her. He quickly took his paw off, and moved away.

"Well, I've been adventuring for a while, about 18 season now. Though, I'm actually trying to get back to my old settlement." Nero was impressed, he had been gone for 4 and a half years and was just barely going back. That was more years than he had been alive. Though, his father had told him of a friend of his left when they were very young. Maybe…

"Well, I'm new to this. I've been traveling for the past 2 seasons. Which is how long we've been trying to find this place," she said, with a bit of bite at the last sentence. Even Midnight seemed to have felt that, as he winced a bit as she said that.

"Well, I'm adventuring too. I've been doing it for 3 days... I'm lost."

They looked somewhat shocked at his response, and didn't even say anything at first. The umbreon though, was the first one to shake out of his shock, though he still seemed slightly dazed with his response.

"Oh um, that's kinda' bad. Do you have any idea where they can be?"

Nero looked at the umbreon, wondering what Midnight was thinking. Is this guy just shocked, or is he an actual idiot? How is he even still alive?

"Oh yeah, let me just show you where it is. It won't take too long- I'm lost, I don't know where I am."

The umbreon thought for a bit, wondering what to do. "That is very true, isn't it? Well we can go in the morning. For now, I'm gonna' go to sleep."

Breeze scoffed at his response. She looked at the houndour, who seemed unfazed with his response, and was even more upset by the fact that Nero was fine with that. She walked towards Nero, and pat his head.

"We'll find your family tomorrow. I would love to help you right now, but someone is being lazy."

She had quite a soothing voice at first, though her yelling at Midnight ruined the moment. Even though Midnight did feel bad for the houndoom, he was also tired from all the walking, and he was kinda getting lazy by then.

"You were too before I found him," he quickly commented before turning away.

"Whatever, we'll help you tomorrow. Good night." Breeze smiled at him, before walking away to lay down next to Midnight.

"Good night."


Well hello again. God it has been too long. I lost motivation as I was on the last couple of sentences, so this has been sitting on my computer for a while. I was going to make it much longer, but I'm just going to release this to get it out into the world. Either way, I should be back now, as summer break is finally here. See you in another 3-4 months.
