Chapter 25: Early Departure
Morning soon came over the hill tops, brightening up the night sky with a pinkish glow. "Here we are." The trailer came to a sudden stop as everyone inside slowly climbed out to enjoy the scenery. Before them lay a huge town filled with industry and bailing smokestacks.
"We made it! It's Oreburgh city!" Aurora squealed. Alex leaned against a tree near the edge and frowned, "Well, that certainly took long enough." "Ahhhhh finally Oreburgh city! Time for my next badge!" Barry exclaimed as he bounded out of the trailer and down the hill.
"Barry! you're going to seriously hurt yourself if you don't slow down!" Aurora called as he sped off. Jocelyn giggled watching him dash off from the window. She sighed then put down her book and stepped out with the others. "He certainly is peppy" Jocelyn sighed with the faintest blush across her face.
Destiny poked her head out from the window sleepily. "Are you guys leaving already?" Aurora nodded. "Yeah, I guess this is where we part ways." Destiny frowned and ran over to get Fiona only to find her asleep with her head against the wheel. "Fi wake up!" she called shaking her by the shoulders. "H-huh wha?" Fiona yawned looking up groggily. "Everyones leaving, c'mon!" She said as she dragged her sleepy sister outside.

Umbreon sat restlessly in his cage, "Of all things...why did I manage to fall into such an obvious endeavor?" He sighed and curled back up. "You look like you could use some help." a voice called from above. Umbreon looked up to see Dexter in the rafters. "Oh joy. the Cavalry has arrived." Umbreon chuckled.
"Hey. do you want help or not" Dexter growled. he walked up to the cage and placed a paw on a small circular mechanism as the bars retracted back into it. "Simple as that." Umbreon brushed out his fur and stood up, "Yes well, thank you Master Dexter." Dexter rolled his eyes, "Nah...i should be the one to apologize, I let my petty jealousies influence one of Princess' tricked out plans."
Umbreon laughed. "Well then, I'm glad this misunderstanding has come to a conclusion." Dexter adjusted his glasses. "Yeah.." "Well, I must be off now, good luck with Lady Serene" He called as he went off in search of his master. The Jolteon blushed. "Y-yeah...thanks.
Serene sat cuddling around the egg still keeping it warm. "It's kicking..its gonna hatch real soon" she thought. She was really curious why she felt an attachment to this egg, but shrugged it off. Just then, a crack broke the silence. The Vaporeon looked down as her eyes widened. Another crack, the egg was hatching.
A loud Vaporeon's cry came from inside, "Dexter! Princess! come quick!" The two pokemon bounded in confused and looked at the egg. "Whoa is it hatching?" Dexter asked. Princess nodded. "It is...but what is it?" Umbreon merely watched.

"That sounded like serene!" Destiny exclaimed after hearing the cry. She dashed into the trailer, followed by the others. They all gasped as they watched the egg between the three Eeveeloutions. "Aurora! your egg, It's hatching!" Jocelyn exclaimed. "Wha?" Aurora was shocked and watched closely.
Another crack broke the outer shell, as the beige top gave away. A small brown pointed ear poked out of one side as it pushed its head through the rest of the weakened eggshell. The shell shattered as it poked its small head out of the egg and opened its mahogany eyes to the new world. Its brown fur was still wet, with a scruff of beige fur around its neck. It looked up at the four Eeveeloutions and barked. "Eevee!"
The three sisters were frozen in complete silence. as was Aurora. A few seconds later, the silence was broke with a loud screech. "AWWWWWW" They all squealed as they picked up the baby Eevee. Alex covered his ears and winced. "It's so adorable!" Jocelyn said holding it tightly but carefully. "I've never seen such a young Eevee before!" Destiny giggled poking its cute little paws. Fiona then took it and held it up before her. "..And even more so, It's a girl!" She then placed the little pokemon down on the floor to meet the others.
"Why hello there" Serene said petting the baby's head. Dexter analyzed the Eevee, "I've only heard of premature evolution, but never have I witnessed it." "You're such a little cutie" Princess squealed. Umbreon chuckled. "My, Big things do come in small packages I suppose."
The Eevee barked happily, it was loving all the attention it was getting. Aurora flipped out her pokedex:
"EEVEE THE EVOLUTION POKEMON. EEVEE HAS MULTIPLE EVOLUTIONS DEPENDING ON THE PROPER STONE OF METHOD OF TRAINING. THERE ARE SEVEN KNOWN TO THIS DAY."
Aurora scooped up the little Eevee and held it close. "Oh you're just so adorable!" she squealed rubbing her face against it. Alex smiled a little. "Well Umbreon, looks like you have a responsibility." Umbreon blinked in confusion. "I beg your pardon Master Alexander, but whatever do you mean?" "It's only a baby, it needs someone to teach it doesnt it?"
Umbreon thought of the idea of him as a father. It wasn't exactly in his interests but taking care of a young Eevee wouldn't be too hard. "Ah yes. then allow me to take the role of this young sapling's mentor." he replied and walked over to the Eevee. "Young Mistress Eevee, I am Umbreon, and I have been assigned your mentor." The Eevee blinked. "..men-tor? whats dat?" Umbreon frowned.
Alex laughed at the sight of Umbreons speech and the baby's comprehension level. Aurora was still excited, she finally had an Eevee of her own. The sisters still went on about how adorable the Eevee was. Aurora picked up her new Eevee and held it in her arms. "Well, I'm glad we were able to travel with you guys"
"Likewise" Fiona replied. "I guess you'll be leaving now" Destiny replied cuddling her chinchou plushie. "Aww relax Sis, I'm sure our paths will cross again." Jocelyn said patting her little sister on the head. "You guys are headed to Jubilife city right?" Aurora asked. Fiona nodded. "We have a performance in the Contest hall in about a week." "We just need time to rehearse and set up" Jocelyn added.
"Well, If you guys get your badge, why not come watch us perform?" Destiny asked. Aurora nodded. "Sure!. my next destination is back home in Canalave city anyways." "Awesome! then we'll be expecting you." Fiona winked as she climbed back on, "Alex if you do make it in time, think Umbreon can help with the show?" Destiny asked again. Alex rolled his eyes, "If he really wants to."
"Hey Des, Joce. Get your butts on board, were going to be late if we don't pick up the pace!" Fiona called from the wheel. "Er! coming sis!" Jocelyn called back as she ran back inside. "Good luck on your Gym badge Aurora!" Destiny replied as she ran back in after her sister. Aurora and Alex waved as the trailer drove off into the distance.
"So, where to now?" Alex asked. "The Oreburgh gym!" Aurora smirked holding the Eevee cupped in her arms. Alex chuckled. "Alright, then we better get going if we want to catch that performance in Jubilife." The two walked down the cliff face and headed towards their next destination.
