The Mysterious Eevee

The door to Professor Cerise's place had accidentally been left open slightly upon Ash's return, the young trainer had been too worn out and tired from the events of earlier that he didn't even realize it, allowing for a Pokemon to come walking on in and leaving muddy paw prints everywhere as she walked about. She sniffed at the air before waltzing right into the kitchen as her stomach rumbled loudly, the Normal type leaped up onto the counter and began hungrily digging into a bowl of trail mix that was left there.

Yamper's ear twitched as he laid at the foot of Chloe's bed, his eyes soon shooting open as he leaped from the bed and made a rush for the kitchen.

"Yamp yamp!" Eevee jumped up and quickly shot around as Yamper looked up from the floor below, barking and growling at Eevee.

"Eevee!" Eevee greeted with a smile but Yamper didn't take too kindly on the wild Pokemon intruding upon his home, the corgi's fur started to spark up as he shot off a light wave of electricity at Eevee, shocking her!

"Veee!" Eevee cried out in pain, her eyes burned brightly as she uttered out an angry cry, her fur began igniting in a bright flame while Yamper's eyes widened as he let out a faint yelp while Eevee leapt off the counter and tackled him. Scorch marks forming across the floor as the two began wrestling and growling at one another.

"Ugh Yamper, what's going on?" Chloe sleepily walked into the room, rubbing her hands across her eyes. "It's five in the morning..."

"Eevee!" Eevee broke out of Yamper's grasp and proceeded to tackle Chloe, resulting in the girl letting out a scream as Eevee pinned her down with his muddy paws. "Eevee!" Eevee happily nuzzled itself against her as it tried thanking her for the food.

"Scor!" A ball of electricity was kicked across the room as Scorbunny showed herself, the ball flew right at Eevee and gave the Normal type a jolt of electricity.

"Eevee!" Eevee cried out in pain before leaping right off of Chloe and making a dash for where it had entered the building, Yamper let out a yip as he gave chase and rushed after her.

"Chloe you okay? I heard screaming." Zach rushed into the room and took note of the pawprints, it was definitely a Pokemon of some sort. The shape looked quite familiar but he didn't bother trying to place it right then as he was more concerned for Chloe.

"I-I'm fine, it just startled me is all!" The girl took his hand as he helped her off the ground, a look of disgust formed across her face as the moonlight shined directly on her sleepwear and showcasing all of the mud and dirt present due to Eevee. "Ugh look at me, I'm a mess!"

"Nonsense compared to how I looked after the chocolate incident in Motostoke you look perfectly fine!" Zach assured her with a smile while Riolu was busy following the mud tracks left by Eevee, the jackal soon rushing back to his trainer as he pointed at the door and letting them know that it was wide open! "...Yamper escaped again?" Zach let out a light sigh before turning back to Chloe. "Don't worry, I'll track him down for you."

"N-No, I'm coming with you!" Chloe spoke up as she clutched her fists. If she was serious about potentially becoming a trainer then she needed to be brave and search for Yamper, sure it was dark and spooky out there and Team Rocket grunts were around but Yamper was her closest friend and she couldn't just leave him! Besides even if they stumbled across Team Rocket she did have Zach as some form of defense.

"Really? Well okay but you should go get changed first, I'll wait here for you." Zach watched her disappear down the hall and towards her room before walking over to pick up Scorbunny who was hungrily gorging herself with the trail mix that Yamper and Eevee had knocked to the floor. "You really have a fast metabolism don't you?"

Scorbunny smirked up at her trainer as Chloe soon returned in her usual attire, her hair still very much undone however. A smile formed across her face as she gave Zach a light wave before gesturing to the door. "Come on, let's go!" She didn't want to waste too much time as when Yamper had his eyes set on something he lost track of his senses, meaning that Yamper could potentially chase Eevee for miles before losing it and deciding to go home.


On the Vermilion beach laid a Piplup who had just spent the past week trying to prove himself to his herd by swimming all the way across the ocean, a task that he had managed to pull off but had completely worn himself out doing. He laid there with his eyes closed shut, snoring heavily as he laid on his back. His rest didn't last long though as Eevee and Yamper soon came running along, each one stepping on his stomach as they ran right across him!

"Piplup!" Piplup's eyes widened from pain as the penguin shot wide awake, his head quickly turning towards the Eevee and Yamper before shaking his fist angrily. "Pip Piplup!"

"Eevee!" Eevee turned her head as a joyful smile formed across her face, mistaking Piplup's shout for one of playfulness. Her fur lightly sparked as she tackled Piplup, Piplup soon letting out a loud cry as his body was given a powerful jolt of shock! His beak soon glowed brightly as he began pecking at Eevee, Eevee let out a cry of pain as her eyes turned red with rage once more as her fur ignited brightly. Piplup waved his arms and legs frantically as he broke free and made a dash for the water, leaping on in before waving his fin angrily at Eevee.

"Yamp yamp!" Yamper barked at Eevee, growling at her. Eevee looked back at Yamper before flashing him a joyful smile, tackling him with her electrical tackle before rushing on off! "Yamp yamp!" Yamper continued giving chase, Eevee's attack just encouraged him to continue his pursuit!

"My feet hurt, Leroy!" Cletus whined as he and his brother walked through the city as the sun started to rise above the horizon. "We've been walking for miles and haven't seen hide nor hair of that pest!"

"Well we won't find it with you complaining!" Leroy shouted. "Now shut your mouth before you wake the whole damn town! That Eevee is a powerful experiment created by Petrel, now imagine if we were to hand that creature over to our ma."

"But he said-"

"It doesn't matter if we're banished from Kanto if we're accepted back into the ranks of our family!" Leroy smirked. "Just imagine the look on our mama's face when we give her the strongest Eevee the world will ever know!"

"That is sure to make up for losing that shiny Haxorus!"

"Talk about loud mouths," Zach muttered as he and Chloe stood in a nearby alley, Zach having pulled her into it as soon as he heard the two coming in the opposite direction.

"T-That Eevee is an experiment?!" Chloe looked startled, that Eevee had been in her very home! Heck it was literally touching her at one point!

"That's what attacked you and Yamper? I thought the pawprints looked familiar," Zach shook his head before looking to the sky as Corvisquire returned, the bird landed on his arm as he stretched it out before the raven Pokemon uttered out a cry. "Did you find Yamper?"

"Corvi!" He pointed with his wing towards the southern point of the city.

"Awesome!" Zach reached into his pocket and gave Corvisquire a cracker, the raven happily eating it before taking off into the skies once more to lead the way. "Come on Chloe, we've gotta beat them there! We can't let them risk getting Yamper or that Eevee, who knows what it's capable of!"

Chloe nodded her head but her thoughts drifted back to earlier with that Eevee seeming awfully friendly to her, quite unusual behavior for a Rocket Pokemon. Perhaps it was held against it's will? Maybe it didn't want to be with Team Rocket and that's why it escaped, but why was it running from Yamper?

"Piplup!" Piplup caught up to Yamper and Eevee as Eevee stopped at the end of the beach to catch her breath, breathing heavily while Yamper continued barking obnoxiously at Eevee, demanding she come back and apologize for the mess she made at the house! "Pip Piplup!" Piplup shook his fin at them both as the penguin was ticked off from them waking him, demanding that the two of them face him so he can teach them a lesson!

"Bouf!" A Bouffalant stampeded onto the beach, his head glowing with a bright orange-yellow glow as he slammed into Piplup resulting in the penguin being sent flying before crashing head first into the sand nearby, his legs and arms shaking angrily as he could be heard crying and shouting out angrily from beneath the sand.

"Good job, Bouffalant!" Leroy shouted.

"All thanks to Mandibuzz!" Cletus laughed as the large bird landed and pinned Eevee down.

"Yamp yamp!"

"Hey ain't that the Kantonian Lillipup?" Leroy asked upon noticing the corgi Pokemon as it started barking at them. A sinister smirk formed across his face. "Oh I do believe we're about to get some revenge!"

"But bro we got the Eevee! The docks are literally feet away from us, let's hop on and give the experiment to our ma!"

"Nuh uh! That brat and his girlfriend need to pay for humiliating me like that!" Leroy growled out.

"How do we even know they're comin'? Let's just steal the dog too if you're so desperate for revenge, that'll teach them!"

"They wouldn't know it was me though," Leroy's eyes scanned the area before spotting a strange black bird in the sky. "Another strange Pokemon, it must be the brat! So ya gonna side with your bro or play chicken and run?"

"I-I'm with you bro!" Cletus shouted. "Dark Pulse!" Mandibuzz fired off a purple and black pulse of energy, blasting Corvisquire right out of the sky as the bird soon disappeared from view.

"Haha, that'll teach him!" Leroy laughed.

"Heh, it went down like a chump!" Cletus added.

"...do you hear something?"

"Rio!" Riolu sped along the beach at a fast rate, rage flaring in his eyes before delivering a hard slap against Bouffalant's face! The buffalo let a pained grunt before huffing as it stared Riolu down but the jackal refused to flinch as he stared up and gave the Unova Pokemon an intimidating stare.

"Head Charge!" Leroy shouted out eagerly. Bouffalant's head began glowing orange-yellow once more as he began charging at Riolu, the jackal quickly leaped out of the way while letting out a fierce growl.

"You two?!" Zach and Chloe caught up to Riolu, the two looked shocked that the Team Rocket grunts had beaten them there but upon seeing Mandibuzz and Bouffalant the two hypothesized they must have located them with Mandibuzz and rode Bouffalant there. "Riolu use Rock Smash!" Riolu prepared an attack but to Zach's surprise Riolu used a completely different and new attack instead, the jackal clamped his paws together and fired off a powerful sphere of aura energy, blasting Bouffalant back as Leroy gritted his teeth and started shaking his fist angrily.

"You can take that chump, charge Bouffalant!" Bouffalant's head began glowing once more as it brushed it's hoof across the ground before charging forward, rushing right through the Aura Sphere attack as Riolu's eyes widened but the jackal growled and pushed harder, summoning more power into the attack as he fired off a second Aura Sphere, Bouffalant began slowing down after exiting the first blast but once his head met the second blast, the buffalo collapsed with a hard thud.

"Nonono!" Leroy clutched at his hat with a frustrated expression as Bouffalant laid in defeat.

Chloe's eyes were set on Yamper and Eevee, Mandibuzz had Eevee pinned but an idea flew into her head. "Yamper use Spark!" Yamper's pelt ignited with electricity as he gave Mandibuzz a light shock but all that proved to do was make Mandibuzz emit a light laugh, almost as if she were being tickled.

Chloe tightened her fists wishing that she was able to do more to help Eevee, the Normal type saw her quick thinking however and gazed at her with an admirable expression while Mandibuzz continued to pin her down.

"Scor!" Scorbunny rushed to Chloe's side before tapping her chest as if to say she was there to help.

"O-Okay, Electroball?" Scorbunny smirked, a ball of electricity formed between her hands before she dropped it to the ground and gave it a kick proceeding to nail Mandibuzz in a critical spot between the wings as the Pokemon cried loudly from pain! A smile formed across Chloe's face as Mandibuzz loosened her grip, allowing Eevee to get free. She had no battle practice prior to this but she had to admit... that felt good!

Eevee's eyes flared with rage as she turned to face Mandibuzz, her pelt igniting with flames as she tackled the vulture! Mandibuzz let out a fierce cry of pain before being followed by another as Chloe ordered out. "Flame Charge!"

Scorbunny's body ignited in flames as she charged across the beach, kicking up sand before rushing into Mandibuzz and causing her body to get sent flying and hitting Bouffalant's unconscious body mere moments after he fell!

"Well done Chloe, you handled that very well!" Zach praised, Chloe blushed lightly from the compliment before nodding at her friend in thanks. The two were going to show mercy to the Team Rocket goons as they were defeated but Eevee didn't see it that way, she rushed towards Leroy, Cletus and their defeated Pokemon and sent them all flying like bowling bins with a fiery tackle and a rage filled cry!

"Aaahhhh!" They were sent flying out towards the water before landing safely on a garbage barge as it was leaving the city, taking them far away.

"Well that takes care of them I guess," Zach muttered as he watched the garbage barge sail away. He hoped the potential days of smelling like trash would get them to reconsider their life goals but he had a feeling that it wouldn't. "So how about we take Eevee back to the Profes-Riolu?" Zach turned to face his best friend as the jackal began faintly glowing blue before being completely engulfed in a bright light as his body started growing taller, now standing as tall as his trainer. The light eventually faded to reveal Lucario standing there, turning his head to his trainer to greet him with a warm smile.

"Car!"

"You finally evolved!" Zach and Lucario threw their arms around one another as they let out cheers of laughter. Scorbunny's jaw dropped at the sight before crossing her arms in a huff as jealousy raged through her, she had to work even harder now if she hoped to stay at Lucario's level and evolve!

"Lucario the Aura Pokemon. It can tell what people are thinking by reading their auras. Only Trainers who have justice in their hearts can earn this Pokemon's trust."

Zach's Rotom Phone registered Lucario's data.

Chloe looked at the two with a jealous look forming across her face, the bond between them looked incredible and quite desirable. Seeing that and the joy of battle that flowed through her while engaging Mandibuzz had helped a lot on making her decision but she just wasn't sure how to break it to her folks.

"P-Piplup!" Piplup soon broke free of the sand trap, leaping up and down with his face burning brightly as he shook his fist at Zach and Lucario mistakening them for the ones that had attacked him while he was busy challenging Yamper and Eevee to a battle. The two looked at one another in confusion but before they could Scorbunny had fired off another Electroball, nailing Piplup right in the stomach with the penguin falling onto his back in swift defeat.

"Scor!" Scorbunny held up her arms as if to say she was ready for her evolution, the rabbit closed her eyes for a few moments before opening them and swiftly looking over her body with a disappointed expression. "Scor!" She snapped her fingers.

"You'll evolve soon, I know it." Zach laughed, stroking the rabbit's head as a smile soon returned to her face. He looked towards the defeated Piplup before taking a quick look around, it didn't appear to have a trainer so he reached into his pocket for a Dive Ball and tossed it at the defeated Piplup. The Water type was engulfed in a bright light as the ball hit the sand and started shaking, eventually sounding off a chime to announce the capture complete!

"Piplup the penguin Pokemon, Piplup's limited walking skills often cause it to fall down but that never hurts its pride!"

"Been awhile since we expanded the team," Zach placed the dive ball alongside the Pokeballs containing his other Pokemon. "We should get Eevee to your dad, I imagine he'll want to look her over and make sure that there are no drawbacks from whatever Team Rocket did to her."

Chloe nodded in agreement before turning to Eevee. "What'd you say, Eevee? Wanna come back with us?"

"Eevee!" Eevee leaped up with an excited look, landing into her arms. Yamper tilted his head at the lack of electricity but shrugged as he padded after his mistress and her friend.


"Interesting," Cerise had Eevee hooked up to one of his machines as it scanned Eevee's body, the monitor displaying some interesting information. "It appears that this Eevee doesn't know any attacks, not even the Tackle, Growl or Tail Whip that most Eevee start off with! Quite odd..."

"That's impossible, I definitely saw Eevee running around with her body on fire almost as if she was using Flame Charge but that wasn't it." Zach spoke up.

Chloe nodded her head. "Right, she clearly did that multiple times!"

Cerise stroked his chin before typing a few things into the computer. "Hm, I am getting irregular levels of emotion coming off of her. I have a theory to test," Cerise held out his arm, displaying a Poketreat as he held it in front of Eevee. "Hello there Eevee, would you like a treat?"

"Eevee!" Eevee leaped up, electricity flowing off of her pelt and shocking Cerise as she grabbed the treat from his hand!

"Ouch!" Cerise quickly shook his hand before looking down at Eevee once more. "No more treats for you!" He scolded, Chloe looked startled as it seemed quite unlike her father to scold a Pokemon. Eevee's eyes began watering before bubbles began firing out of her mouth. "Kidding!" Cerise did a complete change of tone and so did Eevee, the Normal type letting out a joyful cry before her body sparked and she tackled Cerise to the ground!

"...Her attacks are tied to her emotions!" Chloe gasped. "Fire for rage, Water for sadness, Electricity for joyfulness... but why wasn't I shocked when Eevee touched me?"

"If I were to guess Eevee isn't in complete control of the power dwelling within her thanks to Team Rocket's experiments but it appears that there's something about you that gives Eevee an anchor of control and prevents her from harming you!"

"That does make sense, Eevee shocked you but Chloe's scorch free. The worst Eevee did was get her clothes muddy." Zach noted.

"I'd like to test some more on Eevee, Chloe if you don't mind helping me out-"

"Actually dad there's something I want to say," Chloe clenched her fists and closed her eyes, seeming to be making an argument with herself within her mind. "I-I'd like to make Eevee my partner and travel the world with Zach and his friends! I-I've done some thinking and I've realized that a normal job and life isn't the one for me, the right path is out there somewhere in the world and I'm going to find it!"

Cerise went silent as he turned his back to Chloe, a worried look formed across her face as she became worried of how he'd react but that soon changed as Cerise turned around to showcase a pink Rotom Phone and a set of Pokeballs within his hands. "I've had a suspicion that you'd say that for quite some time, I'm sure that traveling with Eevee will be good for the both of you and while I haven't seen much of him, Zach seems like the loyal sort that looks after and stands by his friends no matter what, I trust your judgement. Now to make things official, you'll have to catch Eevee in a Pokeball so nobody can steal her."

Chloe smiled while uttering a sigh of relief, thanking her father while silently praising Arceus that he wasn't mad at her. Chloe began reaching out for an ordinary Pokeball before Zach held out a luxury ball for her to take.

"Here, this'll help you and Eevee grow even closer!" Zach explained with a smile, this type of Pokeball cost him more than usual but he had a feeling Chloe would benefit more from it than he would.

Chloe gave her friend an appreciative smile before holding out the luxury ball to Eevee. "Well Eevee what do you say? Would you like to become my Pokemon and travel across the world with me?"

"Eevee!" Eevee responded with an excited cry, reaching out and giving the luxury ball a swat with her paw, allowing herself to be caught as she disappeared in a beam of red light before the ball chimed almost instantly!

Chloe's Rotom Phone then lit up as it properly registered her trainer information.

Professor Cerise gave his daughter an affectionate smile before the two hugged while Zach walked off to go inform the others about Chloe joining them.


"Take care big sis, I'll be seeing you out there soon!" Chloe's little brother waved after her as Chloe walked down the road with Ash, Marnie and Zach.

"Be careful, stay far away from Team Rocket!" Her mother cried out.

"She'll be fine dear," Cerise reassured his wife, petting her shoulder.

"It's good ta finally have another girl in the group," Marnine smiled as she walked alongside Chloe. "Just don't expect me to get into long talks about cute guys and the latest fashion, I ain't into that stuff."

"It's always great to travel with friends like I always say!" Ash added on with a large grin. "We'll help you and Eevee grow stronger together!"

"Lucario and I will be here for you if you ever need anything," Zach assured Chloe with a warm smile.

Chloe smiled as her eyes danced between the three, thankful that Ash and Marnie were so accepting despite hardly knowing her. She hoped they'd all get closer as the adventures continue.


"Jackie please be careful," A feminine voice spoke through a communicator as Jack Walker carefully stepped across the terrain of an island whose coordinates was lost to most, only a few select individuals knew of the location.

"Relax Solana, I'll be fine." Jack assured her. "We've gotten some unusual readings from the island lately, I've got to make sure that nobody has discovered my friends!" Radio static soon sounded in his ear causing Jack to pull the device away from his ear before pocketing it as he quickly looked around. He whistled out in his usual tone hoping for a response but wasn't greeted with the usual tackle greet of his blue and red colored friends. He started speedily walking along before coming to a clearing where his heart started beating rapidly upon seeing the defeated form of his blue friend, the legendary Pokemon Latios standing out in the open as if left out for bait. Jack knew it was most likely a trap but he had to check on him, placing his palm across the eon Pokemon's chest and breathing a sigh of relief before the nearby bushes rustled and a large shirtless dark skinned figure stepped on out, his muscular arms crossed as he laughed at the sight while a Crawdaunt and Machamp appeared by the man's side. "The Jackie Walker here in my home region, what a pleasant surprise!"

"I recognize you, you're Matt! Former admin of Team Aqua and now leader of the Team Rocket Hoenn branch!"

"Correct!" Matt flexed his muscles while showing off quite the egotistical smirk. "It is quite fitting that I, Matt of Team Aq-Rocket is what puts an end to you! But for now I shall leave you alive, I can't find that red thing anywhere. Apparently her own brother isn't good enough bait so perhaps I have to add to the pile!" Machamp walked behind Jackie and constrained him with a tight rope knot across his arms and legs before tossing him to the dirt.

"Jackie...? Jackie?!" Solana shouted at her monitor with a frantic expression

Chloe is now officially part of the team! I thought making Eevee's attacks be tied to her emotions was a fun way to handle her while also not giving Chloe immediate and easy access to powerful moves. Eevee and Chloe will grow together as Eevee works to control her power

And yeah Matt is based on his ORAS design.
