Chapter 9: Eevee, Eevee, and Eevee
Mt. Thunder, 3:30 PM, Josh's POV
'Where is that Eevee?!'
"Where is that Eevee?!"
"That's what I'm thinking!"
"What? Wow!"
We walked through the top floors of Mt. Thunder. "This is boring..." Fenn moaned. "We haven't seen a single Pokem- Woah!" I saw it. An Eevee with a green band, which I somehow knew was a Zinc Band, was standing on a cliff area, looking like they were about to jump. "Don't jump!" I yelled. The Eevee got surprised and looked at me. "Why would it matter to y- Josh! You... You actually came back!" "Umm... What?" The Eevee ran over to me, knocking me onto the ground. "I missed you so much!" "Who... Who even are you?!" The Eevee seemed surprised by that. "What?! You... You don't remember me?" "Umm... no, I don't." "B-But! But you said you would never forget! R-Right..?" A memory flashed in my head. "Wait..." I said, taking out a small picture. It was of me AS A SHINX, with an Eevee, the same one who was here, and another Pokemon, a Torchic. 'Why do I feel like I know...' "Torch." I whispered. "Wait, so you DO remember." "I... I think." "Cool!" "You're Eevee, right?" "Exactly!" Fenn stared at me. "Most. Basic. Name. EVER!" "Shut up." The Eevee replied. I shook my head. "I... I think I remember now..."
[Flashback, Josh's POV]
My partner walked behind me as I ran up the hill. "We're almost there!" I cheered. I then tripped. "Ow." "You tripped over a rock, Josh. A ROCK!"
[End of Flashback, Josh's POV]
"...but that was after we stopped time from stopping, right?" "Yep!" Eevee seemed happy that I remembered now. "Wait..." Sparks seemed confused by something. "What?" I asked. "You saved time from stopping?" "Umm... Yeah." "But... But we did too!" I looked at him sideways. "How..? How is that possible?!" "Hmm..." Fenn appeared to be deep in thought. "If this is happening every five years, then there must be something that is controlling it! And this 'Controller' is being defeated, but not killed or banished! It's gaining power each five years, and tries to destroy the world! But it never works, because..." Fenn stared at me. "O-Oh no..." I replied, putting a hand to my chest. "I... I'M supposed to stop it, aren't I-I..?" Fenn simply nodded. I fainted.
Dreamscape, Josh's POV
Hello again.
'Oh, hi, mysterious voice.'
So... you found your role, am I right?
'I... I think so.'
Good.
'B-But I'm not ready for this! I-I'm not ready for anything...'
No, don't speak like that! You ARE ready for this! You've done it before.
'I... I guess you're right...'
Good. Now listen closely, this is important.
'O... Ok. I'm listening.'
Later today, you'll run into an Eevee who looks almost exactly like you old partner. The only difference is that she has a red scarf.
'Ok...'
She is working for your enemy. You must defeat her.
'W-Why?! Isn't there another way to stop her?!'
Not that I know of.
'Well... Ok, I guess...'
Good luck, Josh.
'Bye, Grad.'
…
…
Who told you my name?
'Oh, that's just what I decided to call you, because you're a Gardevoir.'
Oh... Ok. Now... Bye, Josh.
'See ya, Grad.'
Mt. Thunder, 12:00 PM, Josh's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, before looking around myself. It was night, and everyone was asleep. We were obviously in a newer area. I quietly stood up. "Hello?" I whispered, before checking my bag. Everything we had was still in it. 'Good.' I thought. 'Maybe I can get some more re-'
"Hello!"
I jumped and spun around. Eevee was there. Wait, no. It wasn't Eevee. It had a red scarf. As loudly as I could, I stomped down on the ground. The resulting noise woke everyone up. "What do you want?" I growled at the Eevee, making sure everyone could hear me. "Geez, that's not a way to greet a friend." The Eevee responded. "I know you're not really my old partner, so stop trying to trick us!" I yelled. This got the others' attention. The Eevee's gaze turned from friendly to dangerous in half of a split-second. "Oh, so THAT'S how it is, huh?" She growled. "Fine. Just be ready to die!" I jumped back, remembering something, and pulling a Reviver Seed from my bag, clenching it tightly in my paw. "DIE!" The Eevee ran at me. I calmly stood there, and, at the last second, jumped to the side. "Oh, you IDIO-" The fake Eevee yelled, crashing into the wall. "Hey! Guys!" I spun around. Two familiar Pokemon were running over to us. "Spark! Zor!" I yelled, waving, before using a Thundershock on the fake Eevee. "That's it! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!" The Eevee ran at me, holding a supposedly really sharp rock. I jumped to the side, but the rock still slashed me. "Augh!" I fell to the side, my vision fading. 'How did that... tiny attack... make me... faint?' But then, something popped into my mind. 'The Reviver Seed! Isn't it..?' Right as I thought this, my vision started to clear again, as I felt a healing power going through me. '...good.' I slowly got up. The fake Eevee didn't notice it, as she was too busy boasting about her victory. Fenn did, however. She smiled broadly. "Huh? What are you smiling for?" The area got darker. Darker, darker, yet darker. I felt electricity running around me. 'Volt Tackle.' I smirked. 'Let's do this.' I ran towards Fake Eevee, feeling the Volt Tackle speed kick in. Fenn used Flamethrower on me. I nearly got scared, before I realized what she was doing as the flame mixed with my electricity. I crashed into Fake Eevee, and used Thundershock at the same exact time as my Volt Tackle hit her. "Urk!" Fake Eevee fell down, as her eyes changed to spirals, signifying she was fainted. "Yes!" Fenn cheered. "I would've liked it better if we hadn't had to defeat her, but still!" I shook my head. 'Why... What is wrong with this place?' "Well, since you were obviously asleep when Fake Eevee tried to attack us, I say we should try to get back to sleep." The only response was a subtle nod from everyone. Silently, I laid back down on the straw bed, that I didn't even notice I had been sleeping on, and fell asleep.
Dreamscape, 12:55, Josh's POV
...Back so soon?
'Yeah. We defeated the Eevee!'
Ok. Good!
'Yeah. Lucky I remembered about the Reviver Seed thingy.'
Yeah. Looks like you're getting your memory of that back faster than I expected.
'Wait, you knew this would happen?'
Well... Kinda. It's sort of my fault you're here...
'Wait... WHAT?!'
You see, every time the evil decides to hurt this world, I am forced to turn a human into a Pokemon and send them to this world.
'O... Ok...'
You don't remember it, but before you were turned into a Pokemon I asked you in a dream if you were ok with it. After that, I had a little personality test to see what Pokemon you would be. You got the hasty type, as you kept answering the questions without really thinking, and you ARE really hasty.
'...True...'
But this time, I kept you in your world.
'…'
I know, it isn't really your world.
'Yeah.'
Anyways, the evil was in BOTH worlds this time.
'No...'
Yeah... Your sister was captured by Team Rocket, to serve in an experiment. The experiment would have killed her.
'No! C-Crystal...'
Relax. She isn't dead. I prevented that.
'Phew... She's safe...'
Yes. But, instead, she had to be turned into a Pokemon.
'She's a Pokemon too?!'
Yes. An Eevee. The first Eevee you met.
'Wait. The Eevee that got kidnapped... is my sister?!'
Yeah. She is.
'Oh crud! Why does this happen?!'
…
'Well, I think it's morning now.'
Yes, it is. Goodbye, Josh.
'Bye, Gard.'
Mt. Thunder, 6:01 AM, Josh's POV
The first thing I felt beside me was some source of heat. I looked beside me. Fenn was laying there, curled into a ball. 'Aww...' I thought. 'We do love each other.' I felt her tail was wrapped around my side. "Wake up, sleepyhead." I said, nudging Fenn. She yawned. "Huh? Oh, hi! It's morning already?" I nodded. She smiled and rubbed her head against me. Silently, also smiling at each other, we stood up. "I think everyone else is asleep." Right as I said this, I heard yawns from around us. 'Of course. I jinxed it.' Suddenly, something jumped into my mind. "Fenn, I need to talk to you." Fenn stared at me. "Ok..." We silently walked off, unaware of the two who were following us.
Mt. Thunder: Clearing, 6:05 AM, Josh's POV
When we got into a clearing, we silently sat down. "So, what do you need to talk to me about?" "It." "Huh?" "Don't you remember it?" "Umm... no..?" "You don't remember that I'm a HUMAN?" "What?! That's what you were asking if I remembered?! Did you forget that I'm still trying to find a way to turn you back?! DID YOU FORGET THE ONLY REASON I'M HERE?!" I jumped back, surprised at her outburst. "F-Fenn!" I yelled, shaking. "I'VE FORCED MYSELF TO LIVE FOR YOU, AND YOU THINK I FORGOT THE ONLY REASON I WANT TO?! YOU THINK I FORGOT THE ONLY REASON I'M STILL ALIVE?! AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'M SICK OF IT! I'M LEAVING!" I stood there in shock. 'Well... That turned quickly... Wait...' "Fenn, wait!" But it didn't matter. Fenn was already gone. "Fenn! Fenn, come back!" I ran off to where I thought she had left, but ended up crashing into a tree. "Ow!" I then looked back around the clearing. It was all blocked by trees, expect for the exit behind me. With nothing else to do, I sat and started to cry.
