Before saving,i had 3913 words,and now i have 3685(exclusive of bolded words). Awesome! If there are some parts you don't understand you're free to pm me or smth.
Finally figured out why i keep missing some words...apparently you need a space after a . Why did i not figure this out earlier... but now i'm sure the story is error-free! Hopefully.
''How do you feel?''Ash asked me. We were walking down the route to Saffron city,and Ash decided that we should take a break. Brock was out on a trip to collect water,leaving me alone with Ash and Sora and Eevee. Eevee was sleeping in her pokeball.
''It feels weird to be able to walk on four legs comfortably...''I commented,but i didn't expect Ash to understand. Sora just walked next to me and watched me,amused.
I tried taking a step forward,but i just tripped and fell. Sora quickly helped me up.''Thanks Sora!''I smiled at him. He blushed and lowered his head. I turned around to see Ash staring at me like i suddenly grew an extra head.
''What?''I asked. Ash said nothing,just stared at me,wide eyed.''Ash,you're scaring me!''I whimpered,running behind Sora for protection.
''Glace...I understood what you said!''Ash said. I peeked out from behind Sora.''Huh?''I was confused.
''Glace,you're talking english! Don't you realize it?''Ash gawked at me. I just shook my head,burying my face in Sora's side.
''Glace this is great! Now you can talk to us now!''Ash yelled in joy.''Great,another thing that makes me more of a freak.''I mumbled.
''Aw,come on! Don't say that!''He encouraged me. That just made me sadder. Sora rubbed his head on my fur affectionately.
''Sora,what are you doing?''I was scared by his sudden behaviour change. He stepped back suddenly,wide eyed.''S-sorry Glace,i just couldn't help it.''He looked at the ground.''It's just...you're so beautiful and cute!''He raised his head nervously.
''Don't remind me that i'm a girl.''I was still freaked out by my gender change,but i got used to it already. Brock suddenly came back,holding a few bottles of water.''Hey,what did i miss?''He asked enthusiastically,placing the water bottles in his bag.
''This.''I pointed to my throat. He did a double take,landed on his bum,then crawled over to me,finally staring at me from an inch away.''Woah,that's so cool! A pokemon that's able to talk! Where did you catch him Ash?''He turned to Ash.
''No i'm not a wild pokemon,you idiot.''I sighed.''I was Glace,but yesterday i turned into a full Glaceon and now i'm a girl.''I expected Brock to just laugh it away,but he stood up slowly.
''WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!''He started yelling at the air. Ash jumped up to restrain him,but he just continued.''I CAN FINALLY GET A GIRL AND YOU MAKE HER A POKEMON? WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL?!''He stopped shouting and sat down,pushing his face into his knees.
''Brock,i can hear you...''I stared at him.''Oh!Um...forget what i said!''He blushed.
''Hey,Glace isn't some kind of toy for you!''Ash yelled.''She has feelings! Apologize!''He glared at Brock.
''Right! Um...sorry about that.''Brock gave me an apologizing look.''It's okay.''I murmured,before i sat down.
''What am i going to do...''Both of them glanced at me with looks of pity.''I don't want to spend my life as a pokemon...''
''Glace,if you really don't want to be a pokemon,i'm sure we can figure out a solution!''I turned around,and saw Sora and Eevee together.
''That's right Glace! If we search hard enough,i'm sure we can find a cure!''Eevee piped in.''Thanks guys...''I gave them my best looks of gratitude.
''Let's go. We've been resting here for too long.''Ash got up. Brock did the same,and i stood on all fours.''We're close to Saffron city.''
2 hours later...
''Is that a village?''I asked. Right in front of us was a weird collection of huts. The huts seemed to wind around the whole village,as if they just built a new house anywhere when they needed one. Down below,i could see a crowd of people gathered around a booth.
''Come on,let's check it out!''Ash yelled and ran straight for the crowd.
''Wow,that Glaceon is so pretty!''.''Where did you get it?''.''I'll trade my Far-fetch'd for that Glaceon!''.These were all the comments as we walked through the village center. I got scared,and jumped into Ash's arms.''Gl-glaceon!''I whimpered,too scared to make any complete sentences.
''I'm always here Glace.''Ash whispered into my ear. That relaxed me somewhat,and i snuggled on Ash's body. He started to scratch my ear.''Glaceon...''I mumbled as he continued to scratch me,sub-consciously curling into a sleeping position.
''Wow,that Glaceon is so cute! Can i pet it?''A boy ran up to us,dragging his father along. I gasped and dug myself into Ash's jacket.
''What's the matter?''The boy asked. Ash brought me out of his jacket. I was using my paws to close my eyes and kept whimpering ''G-glaceon!''.
''Glace is just scared. She's been through a lot.''Ash explained,putting me down on the floor. I was still covering my eyes with my paws.
''Don't be scared,Glaceon. Here,eat this!''The boy said,taking a packet of pokemon food and tearing open the cover. He crouched and waved it at me.
Even though i couldn't see it,i could still smell it. It smelled so good and fresh and flavorful. I slowly lifted my right paw,and saw a whole crowd of people watching us.''Glaceon!''I cried,and covered my eyes again. Ash sighed.
''It's going to be fine,Glaceon. Don't be scared of all the people around you! Just focus on me!''The boy encouraged. I did so,and all i noticed was the packet of pokemon food in his hand. I got up on all fours,and slowly inched towards him.
''Come on,Glaceon. You can do it!''He waved the pokemon food around. I crouched on all fours and slowly crawled over to him. I was still nervous of the people around me,but i forced myself to focus on the pokemon food. In time,i was a few centimeters from the boy's face.
''That's it Glaceon. Here! You earned it!''He grabbed some pokemon food from the bag and extended it to me. It looked like some of mixture of grains,seeds,meat and fish. The smell was irresistible by now,and my stomach was screaming at me to just eat it. I inched forward until i was over his hand and i took a very small lick of the food.
As i swallowed the food,my throat burst into a different assortment of flavors. I tasted all the flavors at once,going down my throat into my stomach.''Glaceon...''I mumbled contentedly,and everyone said ''Aww!''.
''Glaceon!''I panicked,and wanted to rush back to Ash. Unfortunately,he was too far away,so i ran into the boy and buried myself in his legs.''Glaceon!''I whimpered. The boy picked me up with his hands.''It's okay,Glaceon!Relax!''He placed me on his shoulder.
I rubbed his neck affectionately.''Wow,Glaceon,you're so soft and cute!''The boy said,then placed me down. He grabbed the packet of pokemon food and took out some food again.
This time,i wasn't nervous. I kept licking the food as it slid down my throat. Pokemon are so lucky to eat these kinds of food. I kept eating and eating as everyone laughed politely. I finished the food down,then jumped to him and licked his face.
''Hey stop it Glaceon! That tickles!''The boy laughed,attempting to shield his face from me. I just kept licking him,and my tail was wagging furiously.
Ash finally stepped in and tore me away from the boy.''Wow,you sure get along with Glace here!''He said,lifting me up.
''You're so lucky to own such a cute and nice pokemon,Ash!''The boy exclaimed. Wait a minute,he doesn't own me! I opened my mouth to speak,but Ash clamped it down.''Sure!''Ash said,then whispered to me ''You might not want to let them know you can talk,Glace.''. I closed my mouth and turned away,still ashamed that i was Ash's 'pokemon'. Sora walked to me and rubbed my neck. I did the same.
''Aww,that's so cute!''The villagers said. I didn't care. Just being here with Sora made me calm and collected.
''Okay,that's officially weirding me out.''Brock said. Ash came in and separated us.
''Time to go,''Ash said,but a villager stepped forward.''Would you like to join us for our Eevee contest?''That got Ash's attention.
''Eevee contest?''Ash asked. The villager nodded.''This forest is full of Eevees. Every year we hold a competition to see who can catch the cutest Eevee! The winner of the competition gets a year's supply of pokemon food.''
My ears perked up immediately. I turned to ash and jumped up and down,yelling ''Glaceon!'' at the top of my lungs. Ash caught me mid air.''Woah Glace,i know you like pokemon food,but you gotta calm down!''. I couldn't. Just thinking of all that pokemon food made me wag my tail.
''Okay,okay!If you really want it,sure!''Ash said. I jumped for joy and started licking him.''Glace!You're going to drown me!''Ash yelled. Brock and Sora laughed at us,until i stepped away from Ash.
''The rules are simple!''The boy from just now said.''We get 20 minutes to catch the cutest Eevee! We can only use forest balls!''He said,showing us pokeballs that were green instead of red and white.
''That simple?''Ash scratched his head. The boy just nodded.''Quick,it's almost time to start!''He rushed to the forest.
''Come on,let's go!''Ash beckoned me and Brock. Sora stood next to me.''If you still can't walk,i'm here!''He said softly. I gave him a small lick on his cheeks. He looked stunned,then lovesick,then he fainted.''My hero.''I mumbled. I rushed of to meet Ash.
''Ash,the forest is scary!''I said,quickly looking left and right. It was teeming with wildlife,but i noticed nearly all of them were staring at me.''They're looking at me...''I whispered,jumping into Ash's arms. Pikachu was on his shoulder,so there's no conflict.
''Maybe we can use that to our advantage!''Brock said. I looked at him curiously.''Don't look at me like that please,it gives me an insane urge to hug you...''Brock murmured.
''You said something about an advantage?''.''Oh yeah!''He said. He took me from Ash's hands and scratched my chin. This time,i couldn't resist.''Glaceon!''I said,as he continued to scratch my weak spot.
''Brock!''Ash exclaimed.''Right!''He stopped scratching,which was a relief. Any more,and i would have fainted.''Glace,try to call out to all the male Eevees!''
''That's you're advantage?''I questioned.''Think about it! You're so cute the Eevee's wouldn't be able to resist your charm! Just pick out the cutest from then on!''He looked at me eagerly.
''Um...okay?''I still wasn't sure,but it was worth a shot. I jumped out from Brock's hands and onto the floor.''Hey Eevees!''I yelled,still unsure this was going to work.''I-i'm looking for...a mate.''Brock looked devastated while Ash was trying hard not to laugh.
''W-who thinks they are the cutest,can be my m-m-mate!''I spit the last part out,still not believing i was doing this. Nothing happened.
''See Brock,i told you this wouldn't work! Now i've just embarrassed myself!''I said,blushing furiously. Suddenly,hundreds of Eevees began to fill up the forest.
''She's mine!''.''No,she's mine!''. I heard all the Eevees fighting each other. It was like some kind of desperation war,as if the prize was a million dollars,not some kind of mate.
''Guys,i think Glace overdid it.''Ash muttered. You're a genius,Sherlock.''How are we going to choose?''Brock scratched his head,watching the battle ensue. They looked at me.
''What?''I said defensively.''I don't know how to choose!''. I ducked as an Eevee went sailing above my head. The latter got up and went back in the fight.
This was getting out of hand.''Stop!''I yelled. All the Eevees stopped and fixed their attention onto me. I suddenly felt very self-conscious.''Erm...well...i would like you all to line up! Please?''I pleaded them. They instantly lined up from left to right.
''Wow,they're like soldiers!''Brock commented.''Okay Ash,go find the cutest one!''Ash nodded and started walking through the lines of Eevees. He stopped and picked one up.''What about this one!''He asked.
The Eevee had a clean coat and the cutest eyes.''Okay Ash,now let's go!''I said,nervous of the rows of eyes staring at me. It kind of reminded me when i first stepped into Pewter city. Ash took out a forest ball and touched the Eevee with it. The ball captured Eevee and blinked for a few times before it was still.
I sprinted back to the village,with Ash and Brock running after me. I just ran all the way,only stopping to see Sora slumped against a wall. He was mumbling about Sora and Glace being on a tree,but when he saw me,he instantly blushed and stopped.''Oh hi Glace,i didn't notice you there...''
''Hi.''I was still staring at him.''You okay Sora?You look pale.''I edged closer,but Sora moved back,only to be stopped by the wall.''No,it's fine!''He pleaded,but i was still unsure.
''You sure Sora?''I was an inch away from his nose now. He looked like he was about to pass out.''What's wrong Sora?I can help you!Just tell me!''I said enthusiastically,licking his nose. His eyes widened impossibly large,then he fainted.
I was about to wake him up when Ash burst through the forest,with Brock.''We made it in time!''He yelled. He spotted me,then rushed to grab me. He started hugging me.''Thanks,Glace!''
''You're welcome?''. Suddenly,a horn blasted,indicating the end of the competition.''With this Eevee,i'm sure to win!''Ash exclaimed.
The adjudicators all measured the Eevees,finally looking at Ash's. They whispered in a group,then turned around. The leader stepped forward.
''By a consensus,the winner of the Eevee competition is Ash Ketchum!''He announced.''Yes!''Ash jumped in the air. Everyone in the village cheered for Ash.
The leader presented them with a trophy and a huge pile of pokemon food. My mouth watered at the sight of them. I jumped to Ash and started licking him.''Hey Glace,it was no big deal!''He laughed.
In the corner of my eye,i spotted Sora. He was watching us from the edge of the crowd. I jumped down from Ash and ran to him.''Come on,let's eat! We have a year's supply of pokemon food!''I exclaimed,pushing him along. He seemed to enjoy my touch,deliberately slowing down so i had to push him more.
Ash and Brock ran to us.''Come on,let's go! The Saffron badge won't earn by itself!''He said,picking me and Sora up.''And look!''He showed me the forest ball.''They said i could keep Eevee! Isn't that great!''
Sora growled silently. I nudged him,and he turned to me.''Don't worry Sora! You'll always be number one in my heart!''I exclaimed. He blushed and moved closer to me. Suddenly,i felt a lot of pain in my rear.
''OW!''I screamed,jumping off Ash and looking behind me. I saw the Eevee that Ash caught had latched itself onto my tail,painfully.''Let go! Let go! It hurts!''I whimpered,but the Eevee didn't comply. I ran in circles around Ash as the Eevee bit deeper into my tail.''Ash! Brock! Help!''I cried. I felt that part of my tail was about to fall off. Ash quickly grabbed the Eevee and Brock grabbed me. He tried pulling the Eevee away,but it just caused more pain.
''Ouch!''I screamed. Suddenly,Sora jumped from Ash's shoulder and tackled the Eevee. Luckily,it let go,or my tail would have been pulled off. The Eevee bounced off a tree,and Sora was standing in front of me protectively.''Hey stop that!''He yelled.But he stopped already...
The Eevee started to get up. It stared at my tail,then its eyes went to me.''Oh! I'm sorry! I thought that your tail was an ice cream!''It said,laughing nervously. It sounded like a boy.
''How could you mistake ice cream for my tail...''I whimpered as i examined the poor appendage. It had deep puncture marks on it,and it was slowly bleeding.''Ow...''I cried. Sora ran to me and started to lick my tail. It hurt when his tongue rubbed over the marks,but the pain slightly reduced.
''Glace! Are you okay?''Ash ran to me,fumbling in his bag.''Found it!''He took out a potion and sprayed it on my tail. It stung,even worse than last time. I almost screamed. But eventually,the pain subsided,and i was able to move my tail without too much pain.''It doesn't hurt as bad. Thanks Ash,and Sora.''I turned to him. He was still trying to lick my tail.''Sora? It's already healing,you don't need to keep licking.''I said.
''I'm really sorry about it!''The Eevee tried to apologize,but Sora cut in.''How can you still say sorry!You bit her tail!''He growled. I tried to stand up,but my tail was still in too much pain.''Sora,it's fine. Forgive and forget.''I turned to me.''But...but,''He began.''Everyone deserves a second chance Sora.'' He nodded at this and sat down next to me.
''I'm really sorry about it! I really am!''The Eevee rushed to me.''It's fine,Eevee.''Although my tail was not fine.''How could you mistake my tail for ice cream again?''I was curious about that.
''I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten in days!''The Eevee explained. I nodded.''Understandable. I would do the same thing if i was starving for days.''.
''Biting a pokemon's tail?''Sora asked.''What? No! I mean hallucinating.''I said. I gestured to my bag. Luckily,Ash got the picture. He rummaged in it and gave me a packet of pokemon food,tearing out the cover first. I pushed it towards the Eevee,as far as my tail would let me.
''Here,it's yours!''I said. The Eevee's eyes brightened up.''Really?''He asked enthusiastically. I yelled ''Thanks!'' and began to chomp on the packet's contents. When he had finished eating,he looked up at me with tears in his eyes.
''Eevee,your face is dirty. Here,''I said,licking some pokemon food from his nose. He blushed,and turned away.''Thanks,i never had anyone take care of me before.''. Beside me,i could feel the heat from Sora's rings,as if he was angry,or jealous.
''You never had anyone take care of you before?''I asked. Eevee just shook his head.''I had to forage for food myself when i was born. As young as i could remember i had to fight other Eevees for food. In fact,if you didn't feed me,i would have died here in this forest. And no one would have cared.''A tear slid down from his eye. I licked it away,pitying the cute Eevee in front of me. Sora was really getting hot now,his heat was unbearable.''Sora,you're cooking me.''I said.
''Oh! Sorry about that.''Sora said. His rings stopped glowing,and i felt more comfortable now. Ash and Brock were staring at us,only understanding what i said.
''Sora,is there a way for me to speak to pokemon without using english?''I asked. Sora nodded.''Just say your name,but think of the words you want to say as you are saying it!''
''That's actually pretty smart.''I commented. I tried to say ''Glaceon!'' while i was thinking ''Can you hear me?'.
Eevee and Sora nodded.''Wow,that's a cool thing to do!''I said in pokespeak.
Now Ash and Brock were confused. I laughed silently and asked Eevee in pokespeak ''Do you have a name?''.
''My name is Eevee!'' The Eevee replied.''You can't be called Eevee, i'll confuse you with my Eevee!''I protested,but before i realized i had made a mistake,Eevee asked ''Your Eevee ?Did you have babies? That is so cute!''. Sora surprised me more by saying ''I wish...''
''No! I did not have babies!''I exclaimed. ''Then why did you say 'my Eevee' ?''He questioned me.''I meant my trainer's Eevee!''I said quickly.''And why did you say 'I wish',Sora?''I asked him. Sora just looked shocked.''I..um...uh!''He mumbled. I'll never get an answer out of him like this.
''It's really obvious!''Eevee piped in.''Sora really likes-''
''I think you should be called Leafy!''I interjected before Eevee spilled out Sora's secret. He'll tell me when he's ready. Eevee looked at the sky,like he was thinking hard. Sora looked relieved.
''Leafy...i like that!''Leafy exclaimed.''Thanks for giving me a name,a home,new friends,and a big brother!''He exclaimed,jumping onto Sora. Sora blushed and licked Leafy's face clean of pokemon food.
I stood up,but immediately sat down.''Ow...it still hurts.''I mumbled,looking at my tail. The puncture marks had healed,but they still hurt.''Stop complaining about it Glace,''Sora said. ''Would you like to feel how my tail feels?''I challenged him. He instantly backed off,head lowered.
''Ash...my tail still hurts. Could you help carry me until it's better? Please?''I pleaded Ash. He smiled and picked me up,careful not to touch my tail.''You can rest here as long as you want,Glace!''He laid me on his shoulder so it looked like Ash was helping me burp. I didn't mind. I watched Sora and Leafy walk behind me as Ash and Brock started walking to Saffron city.
''I wish i was on his shoulder too...''Sora mumbled. Leafy immediately jumped behind him. ''Would you like me to help?''Leafy asked. ''No!''
I sighed. Siblings do fight after all...
