Chapter 6 Second thoughts
" Whats an Eevee ranch?" Sara asked.
" Its a pen where all the Eevee we find stay. Basically, the Eevee that were hurt, or abused, or in danger, or something. Stray," Rachel said.
" Whoa! So whats the problem?" Lilly asked.
" Well, there are these new Eevee that we just saved, they seemed to be related, and they refuse to be nice. They're hurting the other Eevee and us too. They're hogging all of the food, and they don't trust humans at all. They were really abused. It was horrible when we found them, all covered in blood and everything. Most finted, but some were still holding on. The only reason they didn't hurt us them was because they were too tired to struggle," Ashley said.
" Who owuld do something like that to pokemon?" Sierra said softly.
" How many Eevee's are they?" Misty asked.
" There are six," Ashley said.
" What can we do?" asked Sierra.
" Get your pokemon to talk to them. Maybe they can show them that all humans aren't like their trainers," Rachel said.
" We can do that!" said Sara.
" Great1 Would you like to heal your pokemon first? We have a Nurse Joy working here in the farm," Ashley said.
" Okay," Sara said.
Sara'a POV
After we healed our pokemon, we went to the Eevee ranch. There were lots of Eevee playing around with each other. It was so cute! I loved it. Then I saw six of them off in a corner, scaring others away so that the six of them could have all the food.
" Alright guys, lets try it," I said.
Ashley opened a gate and blew a whistle. We covered our ears, it was so loud! The Eevee suddenly formed a line in front of Ashley and Rachel, two by two! " Whoa, hoe obidient!" Lilly said.
" Yup, we've trained them all. This way, they won't interfere while your there with the new Eevee," Rachel said.
We waked over to the Eevee. " Flare, you ready?" Sierra asked.
" You bet your tail feathers I am!" she chirped.
" But I don't have any"
" It was a joke!" Misty said, sweatdropping.
" I know, I was jst playing along. Oh, I almost forgot, Mighty, come on out"
" Thats right, Cascoon, I choose you!" Lilly said.
" Azuril," Misty said.
" Treeko," Lilly said.
" Go for it"
Then I realized, I put my Aron in its pokeball. " Aron, help me out!" I called. It looked happy to be out. " I won't put you in your ball anymore, okay"
" Thanks!" Aron said.
" Alright you guys, go and talk to those Eevee over there, and try to convince them tha tmost humans are nice, even if their trainers weren't," Sierra said.
" You got it!" they said as they walked over to the Eevee.
POKEMON CONVERSATION TIME...
" Hello, my name is Flare," Torchic said.
" The rest of s don't have nicknames yet, our trainers couldn't think of any," Aron said.
A couple of Eevee looked scared when Aron said trainers. Three others glared. One growled and said " You have trianers? I feel bad fo you"
" Why?" Treeko asked.
" Our trainers were really mean to us. They wanted us to be theri slaves and stuff. And when we couldn't do the job right, they'd beat us and abuse us. One day, they got fed up woth us, and they threw us out of the house, after they hurt us more than anything. And that too it was raining," the Eevee grwoled.
" But...does tha usually happen? Thats really scary," Azuril said.
" Yeah, scary," Treeko echoed.
" Do you think that'll happen to us?" Aron whimpered.
" Creepy thought," Azuril said.
" Lets not think about it," Treeko said.
" Yup, it'll happen to you. Your trainers seem nice at first, but then they turn on you," the Eevee said.
" We have to think about it. We have to make an escape plan and fast. Before they turn on us. Then we'll be safe, if we escape while they're still nice," Aron said.
Flare couldn't beieve what she as hearing. " Guys! What the heck is wrong with you? Our trainers would never do that to us! And you know it. Treeko, if Lilly would abuse you, then she wouldn't have let you rest to battle Cascoon. And she wasn't running after that Silcoon. She just understood that it probably didn't want to get captured," Flare resoned.
"What about the rest of us?" Aron asked.
" Sara said she's let you stay out of your pokeball because she knew you didn't like it in there. And Misty chose you Azuril, even though you are a normal type before you eveolve, she thought you were a nice pokemon," Flare said.
" Misty just knew when I'm a Marill, I'll be water," Azuril said.
" Sara forgot that I didn't like pokeballs," Aron said.
" Lilly just wanted that Cascoon so badly that she thought I was going to faint and it would get away from her," Treeko siad.
" You know, I'm right here," Cascoon said.
Flare turned to Cascoon and Mighty. " You guys haven't tlaked yet. Whats up?" she asked.
" Well..." Mighty started. But Cascoon interrupted.
" I'm scared for when our trainers start abusing us," it said. " If Lilly really was nice, she would go after Silcoon. She's my sister, my twin sister. Why do you think we eveolved at the same time"
" Lilly didn't know that," Mifhty said.
" What about your trainer?" Treeko asked. Now Flare was mad.
" Don't you dare think anything like that about Sierra! She's the nicest human I've ever met. Mighty, don't you agree with me"
" Kinda," Mighty said.
" What? Not you too! Sierra is a very nice trainer, she and her firends would never abuse us!" Flare said angrily.
" Yes, but what about when she made you injure my leg, and she didn't even heal it before she captured me," Mighty said.
" But..." Flare was tired. How could she understand why her fiends thought their trainers would abuse them.
" Oh come on, don't listen to those Eevee. We're supposed to be telling them how nice most humans are, not the other way around!" Flare chirped.
" Yes, but..." Treeko started.
" No buts about it. You guys are going crazy! Sierra, Lilly, Misty and Sara would never put us in harms way," Flare said.
The others didn't wat to argue with Flare so they started to talk to the Eevee, but anyone could tell that they weren't sre about what Flare said if they'd been listening to the conversation.
After talking to the Eevee for a while, Flare thought a demonstration might help. " If we show you how our traners are playing woth the other Eevee, will it help you understand?" she asked.
" Maybe," they answered.
" OKay then..." Flare went over to Sierra and her fiends and told them the plan.
Sierra's POV
" Is it okay if we play with these Eevee to help?' I asked Rachel.
" Of course!" Ashley answered.
" Great, come on Eevee, lets play," I said, taking one along with me. Pretty soon, we were all playing and laughing with the Eevee.
Soon, the six stubborn Eevee started to play with us too. There was one thought, that still didn't want to play. Flare said itlaways spoke for its siblings, it must be the oldest and the leader.
Rachel and Ashley came up to us after a while and asked if we wanted to keep the Eevee.
Sara automatically agreed. We dicided to let her keep all five of the stubborn ones and the one she chose to play with. I decided to challenge the sixth one to a battle.
" Hey Eevee, I challenge you to battle!" I declared.
It growled and said, " I'm not battling with any humans if they want to capture me"
" Haven't you seen how much your brothers and sisters enjoy Sara'a company? She got all seven of her pokemon at once because they like her so much!" Flare said.
" I will battle, but I refuse to lose!" the Eevee said.
" You will lose!" Flare said.
" Fine, we'll see1 Bring it on," she said.
" Alright then, Sierra, I'm ready to battle her," Flare said.
"Okay, start of with a qucik attack!" I said.
A clean hit, although almost nothing happend. Something should've happend. Eevee used body slam. Cean hit. Flare took damage. Then Eevee used shadow ball, aafter dodging an ember attack. This was one tough Eevee. After a while, Flare started battling without my directions. At last, Eevee finally fainted.
" Flare!" I cried. " Are you alright"
" I'm fine Sierra. Capture that Eevee," Flare answered.
" Right, go great ball!" I cried, using Devon's gift. Soon, I caught an Eevee. As my friends congratulated me, I saw Flare go over to the other pokemon.
POKEMON CONVERSATION TIME...
" See, if Sierra wasn't nice, she would've captured and Eevee first, and she wouldn't even ask if I was laright," Flare chirped.
" Yup!" Cascoon and Mighty agreed. But Treeko, Aron, and Azuril weren't so sure. They were having second thoughts.
" Return Cascoon!" Lilly said.
" Return Mighty!" Sierra said.
" Now onward march to Rustboro!" Misty cried.
" Bye Rachel, bye Ashely!" Sara called.
" Bye guys! Thanks!" Rachel and Ashely said. " Come back to visit!"
A/N: Was that a lame chapter, or was it good? I need nicknames for Aron, Treeko, and Azuril. I've got all other nicknames for other pokemon covered. REVIEW!
