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
Vari blinked back her tears. She couldn't believe what Elli had become, and why? Elli had been kind and full of happiness. Now she was dark and her eyes glowed of sorrow and rage. What had happened while she had been gone?
Elli sneered at her former best friend's tears. She had forgotten everything from the past, and was entirely under Jarun's control now. Whatever he had planned, she was to obey.
The door opened and in walked Jarun. He gave a dark smile to Elli. He was larger than before, and his eyes were something strange. They glowed of darkness and the power hungry dreams he had, but they also shone of insanity. Perhaps he had gone too far, taking control of Elli.
"Good job, my minion." Jarun said in a deep voice, "Dismiss the flareon and the vaporeon. Send her with the others in line. And bring in your brethren. I'll need help with this one."
"Elli!" Vari screamed between sobs, "What did he do? Don't you remember me? Elli! Please! Don't hurt us! You're under his control!"
Jarun laughed at Vari's futile attempts of reviving her sister. "She is under my control. You cannot stop her, she listens to no one but me. And soon, so shall you. But first, take the others! Get moving!"
Elli obeyed silently, and walked calmly to her mother and Vaporeon. Embress was crying silently as she gave Jarun her saddest look. She then looked at Vari, and closed her eyes to show how sorry she was. Vaporeon looked around confusedly. He had no clue what was happening.
"You!" Embress said, looking at Jarun with a glare, "How could you do this to us? You won't take control of everyone. Your sister has always been stronger. And Vari, I'll be back soon with help. Hold him off!"
Vaporeon just walked off, under Elli's control. He didn't have anything to say but quetions, and those would not be answered.
Vari tried to hold back her tears. She was telling herself that her mother had only said that from hysteria and sadness. She was telling herself that maybe her mom had gone insane as well, losing another of her children. Deep down, she denied all she was saying. Her mom was right, stopping Jarun was mandatory.
"What did you do?" Vari asked Jarun in a small voice that wavered a bit, "Is everyone like her now?"
Jarun laughed a low, dark laugh. "A fraction of them are like her. Come here, look out there! Don't you see them! They will lead us to victory!"
Vari walked over to the edge of the room and looked through a small hole. There were dozens of red eyes, thin pokemon, running around and attacking each other. It was about the saddest thing a pokemon could see, or at least it was to Vari.
"Why?" Vari asked, no longer able to contain herself. Tears flowed down her cheeks like waterfalls. Then she changed her mind. Crying showed sadness. She was sad, it was true, but she was more angry. Her own brother had done this, He had taken her family! He had made her life like this!
In a surge of adrenaline, Vari leapt at her brother. She easily pinned him to the ground, as her attack was quite a surprise. She pricked her claws into his shoulders as a thin trickle of blood fell from them. "Tell me now." Vari said in a low angry voice.
Jarun was surprisingly calm for being in this position of a battle. He sighed and began the story that only he knew. "If you must know, I will tell you. Ja (Jaru's father), Jaru, and I have been the leaders for the past 20 years. We have all wanted one thing. Power. The power of all of Jhoto. Ja died naturally, and Jaru took over. He saw that vaporeons had too much power over others at times. He also realized the more that everyone knew about the outside world, the less he could command them. Slowly, he began to change the truth. More and more of us forgot the truth, and we lived by his rules. He could have rules 5 more years. I couldn't wait that long! I knocked him into the pool one day while he was looking for a lost document. I pushed him in. As we all know, water conducts electricity. No one knows it is me."
Vari gave her brother a disgusted look. She never had liked her father, but her brother was something worse. His mind was twisted in was unimaginable. She dug her claws in harder, hoping maybe he would stop, get knocked out.
"Well," Jarun continued, "As you could have guessed, Embress was not born here. Our espeon found her in the wilds several years ago. Ja made her forget all she knew. They figured she could lead everyone away. She was very strong. Others began to see the power of espeons. We had to keep them from overthrowing us jolteons. We made them stay at home and work. Of course, Embress never entirely forgot. Then, there was the fact of Elli's brothers and sisters…"
Vari became bewildered. She could guess as well as anyone what came next. How could a pokemon do this? How could she be related to this monster!?
" I never did destroy them" Jarun said, trying to loosen Vari's grip, "I went outside and left them there right as a trainer was coming. I watched to make sure they were taken. The next day when they were missing, there was no evidence of death, only that they had been taken outside and hadn't returned. Of course, we created an excuse. That's what got to Embress. She couldn't even know what happened to her children. No one suspected me.
"Then, there was your winter performance. I knew you were stronger back then, and I couldn't risk my chance for greatness. I had told some of the others to help me out. We knew you were sad back then, you depressed and angered easily. It wasn't hard to chase you off."
Vari growled low in her throat. It had been planned all along. This all had been planned! There was only one more question she had to have answered…
Jarun looked up at her. He knew what she wanted to know, and he could easily use it against her. "Well then. What to say now? Perhaps I should tell you why you became a vaporeon? Very well. Jarunknew that I was going to take his place, and he knew that you were strong. It was not me that sabotaged you, but Jaru. Only afterward did he realize what he had done. He had cleared the path for me, I was free to carry out my plan. Almost. After I did everything else, here I am, about to begin my reign."
Just as Jarun had predicted, Vari was frozen with shock. He smirked, and rolled over so she was the one being pinned to the ground. She struggled to get up from under his heavy paws, but was unable. Jarun used a pin missile and sent hundreds of sharp quills at Vari. She was thrown into the wall of the tree branch, where she lay still for a moment.
Vari stood up shakily. She was tired from holding her brother down, and from all that had happened today. She knew she had to forget about being tired, had to fight until the end if necessaryh. Somehow, anyway, she had to.
Vari leapt into her old fighting stance. She had a plan, not a great one, but a plan. Jarun crouched into his fighting stance on the opposite side of the room, near the door.
Taking a deep breath, Vari shot a hydro pump at Jarun. No matter how strong Jarun was, he was knocked off the floor into the water. As Vari suspected, he fell to the pathway a few yards below. He got up almost immediately, but Vari was exhausted from her last attack.
" Just a bit more" she told herself, "I'm Almost there."
Vari leapt down the pathway to the line of normal pokemon waiting to be transformed by others. Just when Vaporeon and Embress were in view, she felt a pain gripping her from behind. She tried to call out, but somehow it wouldn't come out.
The pain stopped as she collapsed to the ground, and stood up, fully revived.
