It was a calm, chilly night in the Beria Region, a region that is home to art, museums, harbors, amusement parks and nightlife scenes.
And this is just one of the many vast regions in the exciting, wonderful world of Pokémon! A group of most unusual creatures, teeming with mystery.
Some Pokémon live alongside humans, while some can be found in the grasslands, in the sky and in the water. Wild Pokémon live everywhere!
And in the Roseheart Forest, just outside of the nearby Roseheart Town, there was no life going around, but for one lone Gardevoir, the fact that the chilly night air wasn't going to stop her from wandering around the woods in search of something.
Something that was making a curious sound, almost like the sound of a wail.
The Gardevoir had finally reached the destination of where the wail was still being omitted. A shocked expression painted itself across her face as she took interest in what…or who the sound was coming from.
On the ground at the Pokémon's feet was an unconscious young woman in a white sweater and muddy jeans with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail, and it looked like she had been in a struggle beforehand due to the claw mark that ran down the side of her neck and the fact that her icy blue eyes were now glazed over, implying that she had passed away from her injuries.
But what really caught Gardevoir's attention was something that was under the arm of the woman: a newborn baby.
"This must be his mother." Thought Gardevoir, sadly.
The child had a head of hair that was as brown as sand and the same icy blue eyes as his mother, but what really stuck out was a pair of Eevee ears poking out from his head and an Eevee's tail that wagged as he cried out for his mother.
That's when the Gardevoir realized that this was no ordinary baby boy, this boy was half-human, half Pokémon!
"Oh poor child...your mother is gone and you're alone out here. You need a family." Gardevoir cooed, gently carrying the baby over to her pond. Once the Pokémon reached her home, she remembered something or someone as she gently set the baby down. The baby human-Eevee looked up in amazement at his new mother.
The Gardevoir smiled, "Zorba…your name will be Zorba."
The new mother then peered over to the small egg resting in a nearby nest. She didn't know what her soon-to-be-born Ralts would think, but she was happy over the fact that her own baby was a sister now.
Years had passed for young Zorba, who grew from an infant to a boy. Many of the Pokémon had grown to like him. With his goofy but sociable personality, his compassion for the Pokémon around him, and even his ability to remove the thorns from paws, Zorba was a favorite of the Gardevoir pack.
His Ralts sister, born 2 days after he came to the picture, especially took a liking to him. He was the best 'big brother' she could ask for, human or not.
After many days, Zorba grew stronger and it became very difficult for the parent Pokémon to raise both her Ralts and the human Eevee.
Young Zorba sensed this and one night he thought to leave them.
"…I don't want to be a burden anymore." Sighed Zorba, he looked down at his sleeping mother in the nest.
"I promise I'll never forget you, Mother."
He then saw his family's Draco Plate lying nearby on a pedastal, and remembered the stories that his mother had told him and his sister about how their late father, a Gallade, had found it from a mysterious temple and that it was their family heirloom to honor his sacrifice in order to get it.
Wanting something to remember his family by, Zorba quickly snatched it off the pedestal to remind him of the happy times they had spent together.
Suddenly, something very strange happened…
A warm, soft glow surrounded the young Eevee boy and his body began to change.
He grew into the size of a human teenager, his brown hair became long and turned into a light shade of silver and his Eevee ears were replaced with two diamond shaped azure-blue and red ones with a pair of dragon's wings and a dragon's tail to match.
That Draco Plate had caused Zorba to evolve from a 9 year old human-Eevee hybrid to one of an 18 year old Eeveelution called Drakeon!
The boy was amazed by his evolution and bid his mother and sister farewell while he set off on his own journey.
