"Realm of the Leafeon"

[Chapter Two: Shattered Secrets]

The young trainer and his Flareon froze, as did the creature before them. It was a Pokemon that he had never seen before, and he felt positive no one else in the had seen it either. "Whoa!" Aeno cried, surprised. The Pokemon...or whatever it was, looked much like an Espeon, a green Espeon, with a collar of leaves around it's neck and chest, more leaves upon it's head, and a single leaf on the tip of the tail. It looked to be only an infant, small, it's eyes and expression told that it was terrifyed. Atashi marveled over it as his Flareon started speaking with it.
Breathless was indeed terrifyed, where these the humans his mother spoke of in bedtime stories? Were these the humans the Elder preached of? Were these the humans were going to steal him away forever? They looked as surpised as he, but the young one couldn't tell very well as he had absolutely never seen another living creature besides his own kind, save the insects that crawled the dirt-filled ground.
"You there!" the four-legged reddish one called. The young pup flinched visablely at the voice, he could he understand him!? He was not of his kind, how could he understand?! Breathless whimpered and backed away a step. "Where is your mother?" the other called, urgent. His voice wounded concerned. Was this a trick? Was it trying to trick him into coming with them?! Still, he did not answer the stranger. "Listen to me!" The 4 month old shook his head desprately, how could he trust this creature? He had never seen anything like him before! How could he trust him?
Aeno, the Flareon turned defeatedly at his trainer and friend. The little Pokemon would not speak to him, he wasn't even sure if it understood. He guessed him at 4 or 5 months of age, it should be able to understand speech by then. To the fire Pokemon's knowledge, this creature had been yet to be discovered by humans, perhaps it had never even seen a human. That could be it's reason for being terrifyed. But why wasn't it responding to him? Surely it had communicated with out of spieces Pokemon?!
Atashi looked back and forth from his Flareon to the strange creature that cowered but a few meters away. Aeno was speaking gentlely, but it wasn't responding. The trainer debated taking out the Pokedex, half the time the device wasn't much of help anyway, and the voice of the machine might frighten the creature more. What was this Pokemon child doing alone? Where was it's mother? Had it been abandoned? Couldn't be, Pokemon rarely abandon their young. But if it knew where it's parents were surely it would be running to them, instead, it just sat there, frozen.
"Keep trying to talk to it!" he urged his Flareon, the trainer did not speak with the little Pokemon himself because he knew that most wild Pokemon were untrusting of humans, and speaking with them rarely helped. The fiery creature nodded and called to him again. "Please, little one! We are trying to help you!" The green leafy Pokemon stared at him frightfully, but finally replied. "H-How can you speak my tongue?" he asked fearfully. Aeno was a'taken back, what did he mean? "We are both Pokemon, all Pokemon can understand each other" he told the other, slightly confused. But the little one still did not seem to understand. "P-Pokemon? What is Pokemon?" At this the Flareon is shocked. How could it have lived so long without the knowledge of it's kind? It dwelled in this jungle, filled with Aipom, Spearow, Mankey, Bellsprouts,...surely it had associated with them?!
Aeno turned back to Atashi, "Did you hear that or was it just me?" His trainer blinked, "If that little guy just said that he didn't know what Pokemon were then it wasn't just you." he mumbled. Both human and Pokemon stared at the child, confused and shocked. The creature before them doesn't know what Pokemon are? Oh, this was a job for Espeon. Psychics. Mind-readers. Atashi reached for the pokeball and released Espsi.
The young pup watched as the two-legged creature took a strange sphere and released a strange red light. Breathless watched in shock as another creature formed from the red light, a purple four-legged one. The leafy creature let out a loud yelp and leapt backwards a step. The furry red one turned to him. "Don't be afraid!" Don't be afraid?! They were demons for sure! Materializing from strange red lights! He took a step backwards, whimpering. What was going on? Were these the humans? Or were they really trying to help him!? He wished with all his might he had never disobeyed the rules and stayed within the borders.
As if on cue, the invisable wall that shielded the hidden away world flickered, for a moment, revealing a set of forest differing from the one that had been present. Espsi, the Espeon jumped back at the flicker, overwhelmed by the strange frequency of waves radiating from the area. Is this what he had felt before? It was stronger now. More obvious to his senses. "Espsi, this creature does not know of Pokemon!" Aeno, his teammate explained, and for the first time the Espeon turned his attention to the little green creature that was backing away from them. Curious creature, he thought, like none he had ever seen.
Atashi stood there, lost and confused. He had not noticed the flicker in the invisable walls, he had blinked in the fraction of a second it had been gone. He watched helplessly as the strange new Pokemon backed away when Espsi appeared. He hoped that his Pokemon could somehow figure this out because he was totally clueless. The purple psychic Pokemon reached out with his abilities and searched the young one's mind. A terrifyed mind was hard to read. But he managed.
What Espsi read was shocking. He bashed his tail gentlely against his trainer to get his attention, then spoke his discoveries. Atashi listened intently and tried to understand what the Pokemon had to say; "This creature is named Breathless, he is a child of a spieces of Pokemon that has been hidden from the eyes of the world for centuries. His kind have had some kind of invisable, magical barrier that has kept their civilization secret, the adults tell stories of humans to their children, speaking of a horrible, monsterous race who captures their kind and takes them away, never to return. This little one had been feeling adventureous and ventured away from his dens. He went through the barrier and is now on the otherside of it. He has never seen another creature besides his own save the the non-Pokemon bugs."
Both Atashi and Aeno blinked several times and soaked in the information slowly. Espsi sighed, and turned to Breathless. The little one had backed further away, hearing what he thought to be a demon speak his background and situation was..was..just..shocking! How did the purple creature know? And what were Pokemon? But..they didn't seem very dangerous. Perhaps they were not demons after all? But angels? Maybe they really were trying to help him?
"Wow! A Pokemon that has been hidden away for centuries?! I'll be famous if I catch it!" Atashi's greedy side ran off, excited. "Hey!" Aeno quickly spoke his disapproval. Espsi also shook his head. The trainer was about to reply but then, without warning, there was a deafening shriek. "FEEEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRR!!!" Breathless froze from his backing away and instinctively looked up. A huge Fearow was decending from the dense greenery above, shrieking in it's native tongue, and snatched up the small green creature. "LEEEEAF! EON!" the little one cried in peril, also in it's native language and speaking his spiece's name for the first time.
"Essssp!" The Espeon hissed. "Bastard!" barked his teammate. "HEY!" managed Atashi, still recovering from his surprise. "Get that bird!" he commanded, leaving it up to his Pokemon to think for themselves, afterall, it would be faster for them to chose their own moves than for him to be shouting orders. Aeno leapt up and released a powerful flamethrower, a long twisted flame shot from his mouth and caught the Fearow's large wings. "FEAAARROOOWW!" the bird boomed. "Leeeeeaaaaffffff!" the mysterious grass-type screamed, he had never, NEVER seen fire before. He had never even heard of it. And he definately did not know about his element's weakness to it. And unfortuneately, he was charred slightly. A tiny ember smoked from the single leaf on his tail.
Espsi concentrated hard, he knew his level was above that of the Fearow, closing his eyes, he imagined the huge bird freezing up, loosing his talons and releasing the captured creature, who's kinda was evidently called: Leafeon. The gem on his forehead glowed and he opened his eyes. The Fearow's talons were being forced open by the unseen power, it's wings still on fire, the Pokemon did not try to resist, instead it continued shrieking it's head off. Breathless was released and fell from the air. The flying-type beat it's wings hard, winding away the fire, and flew off, thinking the plant Pokemon not worth the trouble.
Atashi ran forward and caught the falling grass-type. Breathless had already fallen unconscious, not so much from pain, but shock. The little fire on it's tail tip had burnt out, only a grey film of spoke trailed from it. "What should we do with him?" wondered the trainer absently, still caught up in his surprise. Espsi spoke with reasonablely, "We should take him to a center, make sure he's alright. But I don't think be can do that without causing a big commotion, he is after all, a new Pokemon discovered. And I suspect he is the grass evolution of Eevee. We have to find some way to return him home."
The Flareon merely nodded with agreement. "The grass evolution of Eevee!?" Atashi gasped. "I thought they've tried the leaf stone on Eevee and it had no affect." Aeno looked expectantly at Espsi. "According to his memories, there is a huge slab of stone in the middle of the .. Leafeon society, perhaps only this stone gives off the radiation to change the DNA and cause the Eevees to evolve. And since this stone is so big, it could influence the Eevees before, or soon after birth." The Flareon blinked and wondered about his teammate's knowledge.
"That's unbelieveablely awesome..." the trainer exclaimed. "How are we supposed to return him to his home? You said it was behind a magical barrier right?" The Espeon merely nodded, he honestly had no idea what kinda of barrier it was, but he knew he couldn't get past it. The vibrations from the wall, however, was very close, very strong, and driving him crazy. "How 'bout we just risk taking him to the Pokemon center? They were bound to be found sooner or later..." Aeno sighed. Espsi didn't say anything, what else could they do? "Well...I guess..c'mon then." Atashi concealed his excitement...he was holding in his arms, a newly discovered Pokemon,..the GRASS evolution of Eevee! He was going to be famous! The trainer looked down at the small green creature and headed back in the direction of Topaztown. Aeno and Espsi followed behind him.
~
The Leafeon trotted through the jungle, where could he be? All of her other young had returned to the den to be fed, where had Breathless gone? She searched the area for the fourth time. Where was that mischiveous little creature?! He hadn't been at any of the neighboring dens, or at the Elder's. None of the other children remembered playing with him all day. Where had he gone? It was then one of the border patrols came skidding past her, panting, then rolling to a stop at the feet of a group of chattering adults. Curious, a small crowd came up to him. Nightfall sighed, gave up on the search of her son for the moment and went to see what was going on. The border patroller, was almost hysterical, speaking so fast it was almost hard to comprehend.
"The barrier has been damaged! It keeps flickering! Each time it flickers, the wall is down for a longer amount of time! If this keeps up, sooner or later it will be down for good and we will no longer be hidden! We will be in plain sight and the humans will surely capture us all!" Nightfall's heart skipped a dozen beats. How could this be? The wall had kept them hidden for centuries! How could this have happened?! For the wall to be damaged like this, someone had to have traveled from the inside out...no one was foolish enough to do so...Breathless!
The truth dawned onto her, it felt like crashing into a tree. How could he have been so senseless? He had been told of the dangers beyond their borders! How could he have jeopordized everyone like this!? The reaction to the news was immediate panic. If her son had been the one to have passed through the magical border, then he was in the world of the humans, he could have been captured already. The mother Leafeon turned away and hurried back to the den.
Within minutes, almost all of the Leafeon society was gathered before the den of the Elder. Mysts was the wisest, oldest creature within the walls they have set up for themselves. Thousands of times she had spoke of the past to the children of the troupe. Generations after generations. Some say the Elder had been alive when their kind had first cut themselves off from the rest of the world. The leaves of the old one were crinkled and dry, but her eyes still held the deep, bright shine as all the young pups.
And again, Mysts told the story of why they had been built the magical barrier around themselves. The old Leafeon sat a'top a huge rotting log, perhaps as old as she was, and spoke: "A stone fell upon the planet long ago, it glowed strange colors and changed those around it. The stone was huge and made the plants grow lush. The stone was magical and morphed us into what we were. Every time another is born, the stone would glow, and the newborn would change. We believed the Pokegods had blessed us. But then the humans came. They had never seen the likes of us before, they captured us, they confined us, experimented with us. We called for the powers of the legendary Serebii, we pleaded it's help and our wishes were granted.
"Serebii created this magical dome for us, it blocked us from the rest of the world, the world full of humans who would use us. And so we lived here, within these walls for now hundreds of years. The barrier was not meant to be crossed through, now it has been broken. It is only a matter of time...before we are discovered once again." Mysts fell silent, no one else spoke a word. Did the Elder speak truth? Were they all doomed? What could they do against these humans of their nightmares?
"What can we do?" someone spoke. The old, wrinkled Leafeon breathed in, "I suppose we need to prepare ourselves, draw out our long neglected skills, if the humans come for us, we shall need to defend ourselves. The barrier is gone, and we need to face the world.] The Elder said simply, then coughed. Another of her kind escorted the old creature into her den for some rest. A loud murmer erupted throughout the crowd. Were they prepared to face these humans? They, the Leafeon, had been hidden away from all living creatures for centuries, and all in a day, their efforts were spoiled by the young mischivious pup named Breathless.
Nightfall returned to her den again, deep in thought, the worlds of the Elder echoed in her mind. Her remaining five pups greeted her at the entrance of her home. They knew something was up, but their ignorance kept them from worrying too much. The female nuzzled her mate, Sunrise, as they ducked underground. Their life had taken a turn for the worse, they had no control over it, so they might as well deal with it. The sun fell from the sky, letting the moon take it's place in the black sky. The stars also emerged from hiding, dotting the sky with shining little gems. The next day would be a big one for everyone.
