Guess who's back with another chapter? That's right, me! And guess what? I reached a milestone! I've gotten over 50 views for this story already. But so far I've only gotten one review... And honestly, that wasn't really the kind of review I was looking for. Yes, I do like criticizing reviews, because they can help me improve my story, but I actually want you to criticize the things that matter. Ok, here were his points, and the reasons why I'm probably going to blow all of these off. Point 1: I shouldn't capitalize the Pokemon species names, such as Umbreon or Charizard. All I've got to say to this one is, you must have sent a similar review to every other Pokemon fanfiction, because I have not yet seen one in which these aren't capitalized. 2: I shouldn't say "about" before a measurement of something. Now, you have to realize, this entire story is narrated by Future Adam. He said about, because he didn't know his exact measurement at the time. It will actually come up later in the story. 3: I shouldn't spell okay as ok. FU Imma do it anyways. If you're bothered by that, you can get the hell away from my story. And his last point, the one where I accidentally bolded fence in the first chapter, I have noted. It was an accident, and I'll do my best to not do it again.

Oh yeah, I also have an important announcement to make. Most f the chapters will be relatively short, since I can't write 1000-2000 pages every day. That's actually why I abandoned my other story,.. Okay, I should probably got to the story now. Icarus OUT.

Arc I: The Thief

I woke up with a strange cream and green thing hovering in front of my face. Now, I did the only appropriate thing to do in that situation.

I screamed a truly manly scream (ok at this point I'll stop pointing out whenever I use sarcasm), and instinctively punched it in the face. It (who I identified as the male Leafeon who had been sleeping earlier), fell back, clutching his muzzle.

"Whoa, are you ok?" I said, quickly sitting up.

In response to this, he sat up, still holding his muzzle, and punched me in the face.

Five minutes later, after we finished our endless circle of revenge punches, we finally became civil with each other. Honestly, I understand why he was curious as to who I was. I mean, you wake up, seeing (and smelling) a dirty, beat up Vulpix morph sleeping near you. The Vulpix morph looks like a beggar and/or a thief. Compared to everyone else in the underground base, who were all wearing clean, sharp looking camouflage, I looked like an outcast.

Anyways, back to the conversation.

We were each sitting on our respective beds. "So, what's your name?" He asked.

"Adam Pyre. What's urs?"

I saw his eye twitch for a second. "Lief Erikson. Nice to meet you I guess. So, why ar-"

I clamped his muzzle shut with my paw. "Okay, there are only two ways I'm going to accept that that's your name. One, if you're named after the famous Viking dude, which would be an awesome use of a pun and a historical reference. Or your parents were complete idiots, and decided that Leaf was a great name for a grass type." I took my paw off his muzzle, since he had been growling at me a little.

"As I was about to ask, why are you here? You're in a secret government base, and, well, you look like you don't belong here."

I grinned. "I'm here because I stole s piece of bread, and in a few hours every single part of my life has been derailed. And because of that I'm now part of a secret government agency."

He looked at me incredulously. "Uhh, I don't understand any of that, and I don't really trust you."

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Yeah, I don't really trust me either. I think I was supposed to be showed around the place by someone named... Uh, what's her name again... Wolfine? Yeah, Wolfine."

His eye twitched again. "Great. So she dumped her responsibilities on me again... Well, I guess I'll just have to show you around the place. Follow me, Adam."

He walked out the door. At this point, I was getting tired of walking everywhere. "Hey, uh, can you call be Pyre? It's just a cooler name than Adam..."

He sighed and said in an irritated tone. "Fine, as long as you listen to me."

It was the start of a budding bromance that shall he remembered unt the end of days~
