A/N: I did this chapter right after I wrote Hoshi's. Not much else to say.

Disclaimer: ...I wrote a story about a fox in sixth grade, and I owned that. This isn't the same story OR fox. Do I own pokemon, then? Draw your own conclusions.

Chap. 6: Breon (Tsuki)

After about two and a half minutes, the silence was starting to get a bit disturbing.

"Um, reactions, please?" (To humans it probably just sounded like "Eon, Umbreon, breon?") I said, just to make some noise. Why I had to say *that* sentence, I don't know.

All at once there was protesting yells, shocked voices, even some whispering, that, combined with everything else, filled the dome.

I tried to notice some figures in particular; the people I had heard earlier were screaming loudly that this had to be some sort of sick joke. (I knew it was them because I recognized their voices. I love my new ears.)



I shook my head. People and denial go together minun and plusle. I then looked at my owner and family. My parents (they always attended every show, whether they were in it or not) were still too shocked for words. It looked like they wanted to speak, but that ability was lost by the time I had finished evolving. My owner, however, was quite the opposite. She was also silent, but this was out of joy, I could see it.

Not because her precious little Lianna had evolved, oh, no. She hadn't paticualry favored me, in fact, I was possibly the one she liked the *least*. It was because of what I evolved *into*. Female umbreons are generally hard to come by, but they are a breeder's *dream*. Even if she decided to sell me, I'd probably go for thousands, or even millions.

The events of the rest of the show are a bit of a blear. The trophy (it amazes me that they still awarded that thing even in all the chaos) went to, amazingly enough, Spunky. Weird, ne?

My owner and parents walked out to the car, silent all the way, dragging me along on a leash.

Nothing was said until we got to the mansion, whereas I welcomed my sibling with a smirk and something along the lines of "Toldja I'm an umbreon. Breon." They, like my parents, were shocked into silence. And I like that word. Breon.

Finally, when my owner went to sleep, they spoke.

"...Why..?" Actually, my father said it, but my mother's expression said it even more clearly. Why had I done such a thing? Umbreons are evil creatures, how was I corrupted so easily? I looked them in the eyes (I could, now. I was taller than I used to be, but I wouldn't reach my full height for about two more months because I was still young.)



"I'll tell you 'why'. Once upon a time, an eevee ran away from her home, mainly because she just didn't like the way things went on up there, and into the woods, were she was found by an umbreon named Yurei and his mate. Now, the eevee lived happily with the pair for about a month, and was renamed 'Tsuki' within that time period. Now, after that month, the eevee was found, and taken back to were she came from. However, the eevee they 'knew' was gone, replaced by Tsuki, something of an umbreon soul. One day, she was pestered and annoyed until she said 'yes' to going to an eevee show. She resisted making any threatening gestures to the judges, so that she could go home sooner. During the final round, though, she overheard people badmouthing umbreons just because of the perfectly logical way they act. Well, she'd had about enough of that. Finally, she evolved into an umbreon, and figure the rest out for yourself."

I *really* needed some water after that. My parents went back to being quiet, and went to another room in the mansion, were our beds were kept, which suited me just fine. I needed time to think.



I wasn't about to be sold to some stranger just because I was a female umbreon. I wasn't about to become some living tool for said reason, either!

I then went into the kitchen through a flap in the door, drank water and ate food. It was probably going to be the last meal I ever ate here.

After that, using my new agility and strength, I jumped up on to the window ledge, and pushed open the glass. I was about two stories away from the ground, but there were plenty of things to help me get down.

I jumped to the branch of a rather tall tree, clung, hanging, for a second, and pulled myself up.

From there, I jumped to a lower branch, then across too a brick wall, then bush on the other side of the brick wall, and onto the ground.

I was now currently in the neighbor's yard (yes, I lived in a neighborhood. A neighborhood or rich people, but a neighborhood nonetheless.)

I walked up to the really big gate that probably cost a lot of money, pressed the button to let me out with my paw (all I had to do was stand on my hind legs) and I was on my way to the nearest natural habitat.

My goal was to make it to Ilex forest. I know, a long way to go, but it feels right.

Besides, the Safari Zone would take too long. All I had to do was hitch a ride on the Magnet train, and I was off to Goldenrod, and then, Ilex! And Saffron's not really far away is it?

I was quite confident that I was going to achieve my goal that I didn't notice the gang of people in the alleyway as I passed, snickering and eying me.

I heard shouts of "Machoke, go!" and before I realized it, the fighting type was pounding me.

I heard footsteps, a pokeball opening, and a girl's voice saying "Tide, wing attack!"

The punches stopped as the machoke were being beaten by the flying pokemon, but the pain kept on, and I saw blood. "Breon..." I murmured.

I tried to stand up, but fell right back to the ground, and next...came oblivion.

A/N: Ouch, that had to hurt. I already have the next chapter forming in my head so you can expect it pretty soon. Currently It's two in the morning, so I should finish this note and post it.
