Hello everybody! Duffle back once more to give you another chapter of Tales of an Eevee Pack! Like yesterday, I'm only gonna upload this chapter today so that I can relax and watch some Evo, but since this is my more popular story I thought I'd go ahead and give it the Saturday slot. Anyways, that's all I wanted to say, so let's hop right in!
Chapter 6: Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles?
As the Eevee Squad started walking out of town, they noticed immediately that the further and further they went, the hotter it became. And not just little increments, it became really hot. Of course, Flareon wasn't really bothered by it. In fact he really liked it. Everyone else… Not so much.
Glaceon herself looked like she was having a stroke. Of course, Flareon thought, she's an ice type. It makes sense that she'd be struggling.
Flareon walked up next to Glaceon, providing a little bit of shade for her. She smiled. "Thanks, Flareon, I needed that."
"Hey, don't mention it. I'll make sure we get a parasol or something to give you more once we get to the next town."
Sylveon started panting a little heavily and walked towards Jolteon. "Jolteon, I'm so hot~"
Jolteon just looked at her funny. "And what d'you want me to do about it?"
"Well you could give me your water…"
Jolteon turned away. "Drink your own."
"I already drank mine up!"
Jolteon looked at her and smirked. "And whose fault is that?"
"Ooooh, you rude boy! That is no way to treat a lady!"
The two starting bickering loudly once again, and Espeon just sighed and turned to Umbreon.
"So Umbreon, are you feeling okay?"
Yes, I'll be fine. A little bit of heat isn't enough to bother me.
"Hm, I thought not, but it's always best to be prepared."
That was another thing Flareon thought peculiar about the Eevee pack. Of all of them, Umbreon was mute. Everyone was really hoping it'd change upon evolution, but to no avail.
However, one good thing that came out of it was that his perception was incredible. All of his fighting abilities were increased. Of course, he wasn't much of a fighter himself, but it was nice nonetheless.
The main selling point was that Umbreon and Espeon would have this conversations. Espeon would speak to him and then she'd read Umbreon's mind to know what he wanted to say. It was useful, but kinda weird at the same time.
"Hey hey, Vaporeon!" Leafeon walked up to Vaporeon. "What's crackin, girl?"
"Oh boy, Glaceon's little buddy. What do you want?"
"Look, I just wanna talk. Is that so wrong?"
Vaporeon looked ahead of her. "I just wanna keep walking. I'm hot, I'm tired, and I don't wanna deal with this."
"Yeesh, ok. Fine then." Leafeon stuck out her tongue and went over to Glaceon and Flareon.
The Eevees were getting kind of tired, but Umbreon's ear twitched and he turned to Espeon.
"Everyone, Umbreon has informed me that there's a village over this next hump. It'd be best if we get there quickly." Espeon said.
Flareon nodded. "Alright we'll do that."
As they were walking up the hump of sand, a flash flew through the air and smacked Flareon in the back of head, knocking him down and making him lose his bag, which another flash picked up.
As they slowed down, 4 squirtles appeared and gave a thumbs up. "Yeah, we got it!"
The lead Squirtle, with a red bandana on, rummaged through Flareon's bag and pulled out the Green orb shard. "Haha, we got it!"
The other Eevees supported Flareon back up.
"Ugh… What…" Flareon looked at the Squirtles. "Hey, give that back!"
"No can do, Fire Boy! The boss wants us to take these to him, and we'll be rewarded nicely if we do!" Red showed the Eevees the two shards, one of them sparking with Green electricity.
Jolteon started sparking. "Alright then, we'll just have to take them from you."
"Hah! You wish. Brothers, sound off! Red!" He gave a thumbs off.
"Blue!"
"Green!"
"Yellow!"
"Squirtles, move out!" The Squirtles tucked into their shell and charged at the Eevees…
Only to get shocked my Jolteon, knocking them all out. "Yeah, we'll be on our way."
As Flareon grabbed his bag from them and started walking by, he smacked the leader in the head with his bag.
"Oh noooo bros….."
After that little diversion, the Eevees appeared in what seemed to be a little desert oasis. Leafeon saw what looked like a market and pulled Glaceon over there quickly. Vaporeon rolled her eyes and decided to join them, alongside Sylveon.
Espeon turned to Jolteon and Flareon. "If you don't mind, I'm going to visit the village elder. Alakazam informed me that a Slowking here could help us, and since we've already gotten the shard from this area, I think we can afford to get prepared for the rest of the journey."
Flareon nodded. "Alright, I'll take Jolteon and go talk to the Mayor."
The two remaining groups separated and went to go do their jobs. At the Mayor's Office, Flareon and Eevee stepped inside. "Mr Mayor?"
The mayor looked back, revealing himself to be a Krookodile. "Ah, you must be the Eevees that Alakazam and Chatot informed us about! Good to see you, good to see you!" Krookodile gave them pretty hard pats on the back.
"So, what brings you all to our town?"
"Well, we're searching for the Green Orb shards, and we were wondering if you could point us in the right direction."
"Of course, of course! I'd love to help…" He rubbed his hands. "Unfortunately, some bandits took the shard in our area, so there's not much I can do to help you."
Flareon shook his head. "That's fine. We actually have that shard."
Krookodile looked a little surprised before smiling again. "Oh… Well very good! I expect no less from you."
Flareon nodded. "If you'll excuse me, sir." Flareon and Jolteon left.
Krookodile's smile instantly disappeared and he pulled a Korkorok to him. "Apparently the Squirtle Bros weren't enough, so I need you and the others to hunt them down and GET THOSE SHARDS! You understand?"
The Krokorok nodded and left the room as Krookodile looked worried. "That's bothersome… I hope they don't get too far away. Those shards are gonna be mine, I swear…"
Espeon and Umbreon walked into the hut as they saw a Slowking. He opened his eyes and did his best at a smile, which his species notably... struggles with.
"Ah, hello there, young warriors. I've been expecting you."
Espeon walked up to him. "Sir Slowking, Alakazam has told us that you might be able to help us on our quest concerning the Green Orb shards."
Slowking closed his eyes. "Yes. I'm sure you know that the shards all reside in villages across the continent..."
"Yes. But what I wish to know is why the shard we got powered up Flareon as it did."
Slowking paced away. "When you all evolved, the ancient prophecy was fulfilled, and the Green Orb was created. The Green Orb is linked to your power, and each shard holds an inkling of power that you all have yet to harness. Your potential, if you will. When Flareon was put in a situation of extreme danger, his potential was unlocked and the Green Orb powered him."
"I see..." Espeon looked at Slowking. "But if the shards are linked to us, why would other people want to take them for themselves."
Slowking flinched. "I'm afraid I cannot say, but I can say that sometimes things may have a bigger purpose than you originally believed."
Everyone was silent. a heavy atmosphere was held over their heads, until Slowking broke the silence once more. "Your friends, Flareon and Jolteon. They are in trouble."
"What? But they're just going to the Mayor and are gonna meet up with us."
"That is why they are in trouble. The mayor isn't going to let them join back with you."
Flareon and Jolteon were walking back outside of the office, but two Golems cut off the entrance.
"Uh, scuse me, but we're trying to go back to the shops." Jolteon said.
"You're not going anywhere." The Eeveelutions looked back and saw Krookodile with some guards. "Thought you could get away with stealing our city's treasures, eh?"
Flareon looked confused. "Wha? What're you-"
"Silence! I don't wish to hear the words of a heathen. Guards, throw them in prison."
Jolteon prepared to fight but Flareon put a hand on his shoulder. "Jolteon, don't. We have a serious type disadvantage here. We don't stand a chance."
Jolteon tch'd and sat there. "I hate that you're right, Flareon."
"Yeah... I do too."
Krookodile just laughed. "So, it seems you have some brains after all. Well, it doesn't matter. Guards, take them to the prison. But give me the Flareon's bag."
Flareon gave up his bag as he and Jolteon were tied up.
Krookodile waved. "Bye bye... Hahahaha!"
