The Vaporeon

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon in any way shape or form. If I did, I'd be rich and I would have this published. I do own my ideas, characters, etc.

Authors note: This is entirely fantasy. I cannot prove eevees' live in trees and have advanced civilizations. I wrote this from some idea that just came to mind one day. So R&R

Morning light fell through small holes in the side of the tree branch and covered a large blue figure that was Vari. She twitched a few times in her sleep, then allowed her eyes to slowly open. The abandoned branch had been her room for the past 11 months.

She stood up. Being nearly fully grown, she stood at 3' 2". Her eyes were deep blue and happy, though she had taken much torture the past months. Her paws were large, good for swiping at others. Her tail swished side to side, reads to strike. Her body was a beautiful turquoise blue color.

She walked happily into the neighboring branch that belonged to the rest of her family. Her espeon sisters, umbreon brother, jolteon brother, and eevee sister. The eevee was 1 month old.

The eevee, named Elli, had not evolved. This was because her brothers and sisters had died the day of evolution. Elli never was told this for some reason. Embress never really seemed satisfied that 3 perfectly healthy eevees would have just died, but being forced to, she had to accept that answer.

Elli was about 9 inches tall when standing, and was a lot like Vari. She was different from the others in the family. She followed Vari everywhere, and dreamed of being a vaporeon.

Everyone in the family had grown. The espeon females, who were named Eruli and Emyla, were VERY law abiding. They mostly ignored Vari as she brought shame to them. The male umbreon, named Uron, was a bit timid. He was more the strong silent type. He did his job and nothing more. The jolteon brother, named Jarun, was a miniture Jaru. He strutted around and tormented Vari. She couldn't pick a fight on him either. They'd find some way to send her out of the tree. Embress was a bit depressed due to the loss of Ellis brothers and sisters, but this seemed to make her a bit more active. She was beginning to get out more, though flareons were not supposed to, as Jaru said. Jaru did everything in his power to cherish Jarun and punish Vari.

Vari walked over to her brothers and sisters branch and shook Elli lightly. Elli stirred for a moment then her eyes widened and she smiled. Vari was Ellis best friend more than she was her sister.

"We have to get to the pool before everyone else does again. Wanna meet me there?" Vari asked quietly, so she didn't wake up her brothers and sisters.

"I'm ready now. I wont fall in this time." Elli said, smiling brightly.

Vari and Elli were used to waking up when the sun made them and going to the pool. Vari had been teaching Elli to swim, while at the same time, learning her water techniques. Already she had learned water gun, bubble, and bubble beam. Elli had learned to splash and sink.

Vari and Elli crept down to the pool far below the tree's roots. Fall was upon the forest, bringing cold to eveything. Part of the pool was frozen over with a thin layer of ice.

"Watch this!" Vari said mischeviosly to Elli.

Vari crept over to where the ice began. She leapt into the ice and slid with mounting speed toward the water. The ice broke as she went over, sending shards upward in a beautiful spray of ice and mist.

Elli clapped her small paws and watched and Vari leapt into the freezing water, sending a splash of water at her. Elli walked over to where Vari was lazily swimming around in circles.

"Teach me to do that!" said Elli in her happy childish voice. She didn't know much about swimming, she basically mimicked whatever Vari did.

Vari picked up Elli and held her in the water. The endless lessons continued until Elli could get the hang of swimming on her own, and until Embress would let her. Embress was very protective of Elli, and the reason was not hard to see.

"Kick your feet and keep your head up." Vari instructed as she held Elli up.

Elli did as she was told. Vari kept her paws right under Elli, should she get tired and fall. Elli tried her hardest and managed to go a little while without tiring, but soon was exhausted. She liked watching Vari swim the most.

Vari was amazing. Being a water pokemon was one thing, but it was like she was the water. She could swim with such speed and grace, the very water seemed to compete with her. Vari preformed for Elli for a while before tiring. It was hard work to entertain a young eevee.

Just as Vari was finishing up her performance, something happened top ruin it all. Jarun stepped forward next to Elli and glared at Vari. He was Vari's height, but had authority on his side. Everyone believed him, being the son and mirror of Jaru. If anyone ever did anything Jarun didn't like, Jaru would give them a punishment 5x worse than what they deserved.

"You know that Elli isn't supposed to swim on her own for another 3 months." Jarun sai din his cold voice that tingles with excitement of getting Vari into trouble again. "She could have drowned while you were doing circus tricks. I'll have to tell Jaru."

"I was with her!" Vari snapped, a bit more loudly than she meant to. "Elli was well supervised."

Elli stepped up in front of Jaru. Being like Vari, she wasn't afraid to confront her older, stronger, taller brother. "She was watching me. I was doing fine!"

Jaru laughed darkly. "Cute kid. Too bad she's been brain washed. Come with me Elli, We'll get someone to take care of her." He sneered.

Vari leapt out of the water in one graceful movement. Elli stood beside her, wanting to help out her sister. Vari walked toward Jarun, water dripping off her as she walked.

"You," she said to Jarun, "get out of here before you cause even more trouble. Elli does not need to see her brother lying to her face."

Jarun took this as a threat. He saw an opening to get Vari into even more trouble, and took the chance. He crouched down into an attack stance. Naturally, Vari countered with her fighting stance. They hadn't fought since they had first evolved. Now, they were older, stronger, more accustomed to their new bodies.

Vari was first to strike. She shot a fierce bubble beam at Jarun. Being so cold, some bubbles froze as they hit. While he was distracted by the bubbles, Vari leapt forward in a tackle attack and knocked him back a few feet.

Jarun regained his mind and focused his anger. His quills becan to glow in electric rage. Small bolts of electricity came off his fur while he was preparing.

"JOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!" A fierce cry of rage, and the largest thunder attack Vari had ever seen was unleashed. Surly Jarun had only learned thunder shock! But this. This was possibly a more powerful form. Perhaps a normal thunder shock. It hurt so badly!

~My feet gave way as the electricity shot through my body. I was blown backwards. I couldn't move. Paralyzation? Surly not. Then it hit me. I was a water pokemon. Water and thunder aren't your average bad couple. I opened my eye slowly. I was at the edge of the pool. Jarun was right above me. Surely he wouln't ... He couldn't! What was I talking about?!

Jarun grinned evilly and pushed me slightly. I had no energy to pull myself back. I was going to drown in my own element! Elli was going to see me! There had to be something! Anything!

My feet, stomach, chest, head, arms, paws, all slipped off the edge. I was above, then below the water. I tried to breath, couldn't. I couldn't remember how to breathe under water!

Suddenly, I disappeard! I was in the water. I was the water. The feeling was indescribable! I was everywhere, and yet all together. I swam. It was strange, being water and swimming. It was more like ...flowing. I came over to the edge of the pool and became solid again. I don't know how...I just did. Acid Armor. So that was how it worked!~

I pulled myself out of the water, mentally noting that I ought to try my acid armor attack more often. I shook some of the water off of me, then I looked up. Jaru's cold eyes burned a hole in mine.

Once again, Vari was dragged to her branch. Five days punishment. It would have been seven, but the Winter Festival was in 6 says time. They needed Vari to preform a water attack in the cold weather so it would turn to snow.

Vari sat in her room, using one of her claws to draw a picture in the tree bark. She sighed. They would never let her get away with anything.
