10/15/14 7:20 A.M. Wednesday The day of 7:20 A.M. 10/15/14

Leo had woken early as usual, did all the stuff he usually did comb hair, brush teeth, eat a healthy breakfast, get dressed. Then headed outside after making sure food was prepared for his parents, seeing as they were usually dead tired from working late. Outside he was surprised to see Kieran waiting on him. He was not surprised however to see him crouching down rocking back and forth going. "Diglett-Dig Diglett-Dig."

"Why'd you draw a Diglett on your jacket anyway?" he asked measuring his words carefully.

Kieran hopped up and turned to face him. "Cause Diglett are incredibly underappreciated. In fact I think we should make a Diglett appreciation day." Leo just shook his head and pushed his glasses back up on the rim of his nose. "Well were both early wanna just head to school?" Kieran shrugged, the two knuckle bumped and headed off. "I am sorry about my explosion yesterday. But even you have to admit it made some sense, getting an actual goal and what not."

Kieran nodded a bit as they walked though he did feel the saliva drain from his mouth. "True but right now Pokemon is all that matters to me."

"Pokemon may be our passion but Pokemon won't pay the bills after we graduate."

"I guess but what else is there other then Pokemon? What kind of career could I even get? The only thing I've ever been any good at is Pokemon."

Leo paused form walking for a moment. "Really? All your good at?" He asked skeptically. "What else have you ever done besides Pokemon?" With this Kieran paused.

"Well… Nothing…" The silence stretched a bit before they both started walking again. The conversation mostly went like that while they walked towards school and for once the two made it on time.

The day of 11:45 A.M. The day of

During class Kieran tried to pay attention and did a fairly good job considering it was the middle of the lesson they were on when he decided to pay attention but still. Now the two sat outside eating lunch and the subject was back to Pokemon, Leo tried to act annoyed or even uninterested, but when talking about favorites its quite impossible not to be enthusiastic. Of course favorites meaning your favorite as in the Pokemon you have the most love for. Leo liked to tease Kieran that his was Diglett but he'd retort that Diglett was simply the easiest Pokemon to draw.

As lunch drew to a close Kieran noticed something was amiss. "Hey where's Calvin?" They both looked to his usual tree but it was bare wherever Calvin was it wasn't school. Both of them knew good and well that he always sat there at lunch. "I don't know must be sick or something." Leo replied though his voice was edgy. "I guess but he's never missed a day of school." Kieran wasn't too curious though and let it drop oblivious to Leo's expression.

The bell rang shortly after and they said farewell till the end of school.

The day of 3:30 P.M. The day of

"National Diglett day though. I'm tellin' ya." Kieran said slyly as the two left off from school.

"Yea, Yea I heard ya the first time." He said with a chuckle. Kieran truly was worried though, what would he do with his life? Go to college like Leo? Straight to work at the factory in town like his parents?

He shuddered at the idea, Leo had his life planned out so well and yet Kieran… Kieran was hopelessly behind on the bandwagon. Leo talked a bit about colleges but Kieran wasn't listening he was gazing up at the clouds wondering… just wondering. He stayed oblivious to everything until they were almost home that Kieran came back down to Earth.

"You hear that?" Leo asked sticking his arm out and nearly clotheslineing Kieran.

"What?" he asked a tad annoyed.

"A rustle in the bushes." Leo said seriously, nodding to the row of bushes that grew down the side of the sidewalk.

"You mean like a Jack Russell?" he asked grinning.

Leo's eyes hurt from how far back he had to roll them to divert the horrible joke. But then the bush immediately next to them began to rustle again. The two were on their street now Kieran's was just a little further and Leo's a tad further than that. When the bush by the street rustled a third time and both were sure they weren't hearing things Leo crouched to one knee in front of the bush. He slowly reached forward preparing to pull the bush back and reveal what was most likely a dog or a cat or something equally boring.

When he did however it was not a dog and it was not a cat it was a brown and white… Fox? Kieran's jaw went as far down as it could manage and Leo let out a simple. "Hm." Kieran jumped sheer joy coursing through his body as he dumped everything Leo had said the past couple days down the toilet. Meanwhile the fox thing shrunk away from Kieran looking terrified. "Holy sh-" he was halfway through shouting when Leo hit him so hard in the gut that every bit of air was ejected. "It's scared the last thing it needs is you yelling at it."

It looked leerily at the now choking Kieran and scooted back. Leo slowly outstretched his hand towards it. "It's okay I won't hurt you Ee- uh little guy." He stopped and let it sniff him. As it moved forward slowly Leo gasped. "It's hurt."

"Leo it's a freaking Eevee or are you to blind to see that?" The older boy glared at him.

"I don't care if it's a fox, a Eevee, or a soul sucking demon. It Is Injured."

With that the fox nuzzled his hand and he lifted it out of the bush and into his arms. Like always Leo was right the fox had matted fur and blood was slightly visible. The wound wasn't bad but still the kit was young. "It looks like a dog picked it up and shook it... A big dog." He said examining the fox.

"You mean like a Arcanine? Or a Houndoom?" Kieran asked looking around excitedly as if expecting to see one walking along the road.

"Like a dog Karen. Now I have to get it home and see what I can do for it."

Kieran frowned. "How come you get the Eevee?" Leo took a deep breath trying not to get angry… well angrier. "Firstly it's not an Eevee it's a fox, an injured fox. Besides it needs medicine plus I don't think it likes you much." They both looked to the kit who was pressed all the way against Leo looking wide eyed at Kieran. "Okay fair point just promise to text me when you finish whatever you have to do. Leo nodded. "Okay, I gotta go."

The two continued to walk but Leo kept looking down at the fox then walking faster and faster until he left Kieran in the dust. Who paused then shook his head "I don't care what Leo says that was an Eevee." Kieran huffed then headed into his house. His first order was to find any information on Eevee he could, he pulled out his 3ds and flipped to Eevee's information in the pokedex. But then info wasn't what he was after he looked at the size weight and the actual picture, it was all spot on other then Leo's may have been smaller.

As for what the Eevee in Leo's arms had looked like, well a Eevee as best as he could figure it. It wasn't cartoony and it didn't look like a fox with the right characteristics it looked… Well it looked like if you took a plush of the Pokemon made it the right size with the right texture and of course alive. That was pretty much it, Kieran sighed and shut his game off. "I want a Pokémon. "he said, then after a pause he hopped off his bed and headed downstairs. After turning the TV on he said quietly. "Let's see if the people of Earth know yet."

The day of 6:00 P.M. The day of

Leo sat on the half red half white bean bag in his room and sighed. Yes he was perhaps too big for the poke ball shaped beanbag but he'd had it forever and you can't throw away childhood memories...

That was his argument anyway. He rarely sat on the device anymore but seeing as his bed was currently in use there was little choice in the matter. The fox was exhausted and had slept practically the entire time. Until it whined and stretched a bit.

The bite wasn't as bad as it had seemed plus it was a strong little Ee- Fox. Leo cursed himself it was a fox plain and simple. He leaned over the fox examining the bandages. The fox seemed confused until it saw Leo leaning over it then settled. "What cha need?" The fox made a sound the clearly was not normal and nodded its head. Leo's eyes widened when it nodded to the bowl on the bed side table. "Oh food." He said grabbing it. In the bowl was everything Leo had found in the fridge basically nuts, fruit, lettuce, and a little carne for full measure.

Once the fox had eaten it's fill it rolled over and went back to sleep. Leo walked back to the beanbag and sat with the heaviest sigh he'd ever made, after which he pushed the glasses back up onto the ridge of his nose. Leo pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Ugh what time is it anyway five? I gotta do my homework in thirty minutes." He flipped it open. "Six Fifteen!" he practically yelled. He cringed and quickly looked over to the fox who rolled over. He sighed and looked back to the screen. "New text from Karen it seems." He said opening it.

"Well nobody on the news stations

Seems to know yet. Maybe it's a

cover up or something, be on the

lookout for shady looking people,

they may be after your Eevee."

"Not an Eevee, not a Pokemon

Just a fox. Goodnight I'll see

You tomorrow for school."

Leo nodded in approval and sent the message, then began pulling books from his backpack. Almost an hour later however his pencil still hovered over the paper, not a word had been written and every time he tried to write he would turn and make sure the fox was okay. Finally fed up he went to the closet and dug out a old box and then an even older box. One was a simple box with a bunch of vhs in it all with the word Pokemon stamped across it. The older box was in fact a TV that had a vhs player.

He only used it for old videos like Pokemon but that was the idea so he sat and watched Pokemon for the rest of the night.

Tada there it is also in case you were wondering Kieran's reaction would be my reaction sheer joy and 100% belief just fyi.
