Sorry if this one Took a While School is Mainly the Cause, And Memes, Mostly Memes
I'm Always open For If You want to Suggest A World Event! Like I'm Open For Anything
P.S - I learned How to Make Separating Lines Now!
Chapter 9 - The Antics of Life.
"What Am I Going To Do?!"
"Should I Tell Everyone About What I Had Just Experienced Last Night? Or Will that Just Make It Worse?"
"I Mean Nothing Bad Happened, I Feel 100% Better than I Was Yesterday"
"Sometimes Your Body Just Needs to Do What it Has to Do?, I'm Not Going to Write all of This Out as Bad Right Away"
-I Then Look back at the Cabinet With my Phone on it, Still Resting on it-
"Right. There was a Notification Yesterday, Can't Get it on My Own Yet"
"Just Get Through The Day…One Day At a Time"
"I Won't Tell Anyone Yet Or Ever About what Had happened to Me, No Need to Get them Concerned About My Well Being as I'm Fine"
-I Go Scratch On the Door to Leave. Then Aunt Cathy Opens It And Then Excitedly Yells Scaring the Hell out of Me
"Jack! I'm So Happy your Awake! A Miracle has Happened!"
"Wha-What?"
"The U.S Congress Says The USA Was Barely Affected By This Event!, And for People to Return to Their Jobs And Normal Living! Everything's Fine!, They Have Also Removed The Dangerous Status Of Your Kind!"
"Wait, that Must have been the Notification I Had Yesterday," I Thought
"We Can Finally Get back To Normal a Bit!,With Some Special Things Along With it!"
"That's Great!" I Said To Her
"I Miss My House, My Dog, and Cat, Wait…They Would Think I'm a Pet as Well, That's Not important, I Miss My Dad So Much!,Things Are Looking Up For my Kind I Suppose"
"Ella And Izzy Are Leaving As Well Today. Don't Tell Anyone But I Don't Think this Cabin Would Survive Another Day With All these People Here, Even if there's Two"
-I Walk Out of Guest Room And Into the Living Room, There's a Couple of Suitcases near Ella's Room (She Has Her Room When She Stays Here) then Aunt Cathy Calls My Mom Saying I'm Awake-
"For the Future, I Don't Need to Pack Much In General, I Don't Need Clothes, And I Generally Don't Know how to Feel about That," I Thought As I Looked
"IZZY PLEASE GET BACK HERE!" I Heard Someone Say Outside
-Izzy Then Rams Through The Slightly Opened Back Door With a Chewed Up Barbie in Her Mouth-
"Hahaha, You're Not Putting This One Away!" Izzy Yelled out Running Around
"Oh Hi Big Jack! Can't you believe it They Want Me To Leave This Place! And To Pack Up Everything As Well! I Already Have Everything In its own Special Spot Already!"
"Uhh…Just Listen to What Your Mom and Ell- I Said before Getting Cut Off
"Here Take This And Run!" Izzy Said Handing Me a Chewed Up Barbie Doll And Then Running Off Somewhere
"Gross!, What the Hell Am I Supposed to Do With This?" I Said Dropping it Infront of Me
-By the Time I Said That Izzy was already Hiding Somewhere-
"Alright Izzy, Where Are You…" Ella Said Coming In the Open back door and Closing It behind her
-I Quickly Use my Paw to Hit to Slide it under the Couch-
"Oh Hey, Jack! You Woke Up, My Mom Told me to Clean Up Izzy's Toys And it APPEARS She Doesn't Like That" Ella Said
"By the Way, I Know She Came In Here, Did You See Her?"
"Uhh…I Did See Her, But I have no idea Where She Went, She is Quite fast For Her Smaller Size"
"Well, Seems Like You Don't Know, Wait…Did Anyone Tell you What Happened!, People Are Now Being Encouraged To Head to Work!,Things Can Get Moving Again!,And That Means I'm Going to have to Leave"
"But Izzy Has Proven to be Difficult Going Home it Seems, Or Shes Just Simply Playing a Game to Burn off her Endless Energy"
"I Would Suggest You Two to Play a Game. But We Need to Pack." Ella Said
"Okay Jack, Mom Wants you to Head over to her when You Can, Your Headin Home" Aunt Cathy Said
-I Give a Nod Of Consent-
"My Mom Is Almost Done With the Stuff Outside, So We Need Mostly Izzy Now" Ella Said
"Izzy…Please Come on Out please" I Said out to Her
-I Hear Nothing, Then I Hear Her tongue Stick Out and Make a Noise At Me-
"Yo, You're Behind the TV Stand. I See You Now, Come on out" I Say to Her
-Izzy Realizes I See Her, And Begins to scoot out of her Spot, She Looks Grumpy But Then Realized The Toy is Still Under the Couch-
"Izzy I'm Sorry, But Your Going. Don't Give Such a Hard time for Your Sis"
-Ella Then Picks Up Izzy And Hugs Her-
"Aww, I Won't Stay Mad At a Fluffy Girl Like That…" Ella Said to Her
"Alright Jack, You Should Head on Over Now, I Won't See You for Some Time" Ella Said Lowering Izzy Who Was Trying To Get Dust Off Herself
"I Love You and Be Safe, I Wish You Luck on Your New Awesome Powers!,I Know it's Awkward For You a Bit, But Mind If I Pet You?"
"Uh Sure, Nothing Can Go Wrong With That"
-Ella Scratches Behind My Ears, With a Nice Head Rub-
"Your Sorta Cute Looking, But I Get Mostly Edgy vibes"
"Alright, The Next Time I See You I Can Hopefully show You Something Really Cool!" Ella Exclaimed
"See ya, Big Jack!" Izzy Said
"And Thank You For Hiding it" She Then Said Under her Breath
"Hopefully We Can See Each Other At a Different Time" Aunt Cathy Said
"Well Uh, See You Guys"
-I Then Wander Out of the House, Seeing Their SUV In the Driveway Completely Packed with Stuff, Mandy Is Trying To Put In a Small plastic Baby Pool in The back of the Large Trunk-
"See Ya Mandy!"
"Oh, Goodbye Jack!" Mandy Replyed
"Why Couldn't They of Simply Brought an inflatable One?" I Thought As I Crossed the Street
"Welp, I'm Just Happy I'm Going possibly Home Today"
"I Even Bet Since the Notification Came Yesterday Everyone's Either Going Home Or Close To, Barely Anyone Came Up Anyway, I Didn't Even See What Missy Currently Looks Like, And She's a Glaceon."
"You Know! This World May Be able to Normalize! I Hope The Next Few News Articles Will Be Positive!"
"And Hopefully When Things Get Settled I Can Still Do Some Things I Used to Do! Like Going on Adventures! Through Mostly my Summer has Consisted Of Me Playing Minecraft"
-I Look At The Cars and See That My Mom's Car is Still Here, Along With Nana's Car-
-The Doors Here Are Now Mostly Slightly Open For Me to Pass-Through, Luckily We Have No Pets Here-
"Mom? I'm Back!" I Said Entering
"JACK!" Mom Yelled Out as She Somehow Picked Me Up and Hugged Me
"We're Going to head Home Today…I-I'm So Happy, Allie had Just Returned to Work With Owen…We're Going to Pull Through This. Your Father Traveled Mostly 24/7 to Get Back to Us…You've Gotta Be Okay" She said While Crying A Bit
"Your Father Will Be Home Hopefully By Tonight"
"You're Still Going to Achieve Great Things In Life…No Matter if You are now On Four Legs, And Have Powers, You Can Still Live your Life." Mom Said Lowering Me
"I Don't Know Why Congress Changed Opinions So Quickly In Your Species Favor. After That Message Was Sent Out, Directly After Talking your Dad the Phone Contact System Stopped Working Correctly Or At Least Started to Get Delayed By A lot. Like So Much I Couldn't Get Much In"
"That Most Likely Means That People Are Flooding it Again and there's a Delay For the Lines to Function"
-I Look Around and see That Everything is Packed, Easy to Do That Since I Didn't Bring mostly Anything and was My Mom who had actually Brought Things-
"Anyways, I Packed Up your Books, Your Phone Charger, Nothing Else Really. I Mean We Didn't Pack Clothing For You, Are You Even Weirded Out by That?" Mom Asked
-I Shake My Head-
"No, Not Really it Feels Er, Natural" I Responded
"Also What Time Is It?" I Asked
-I Hear Flushing And Washing of Hands From the Bathroom
"Alright, Susie I'm Gonna Head on Out. Oh, Jack! I'm Sorry I Haven't Seen You That Much!" Nana Said Coming From the bathroom
"Ohh Hi Nana! It Looks Like I Need to Go, Hopefully, Next Time I See you I Won't Be Running Around a lot" I Said
"Do You Guys Need Anyhelp With Packing?, I'm Open to Help" Nana Asked
"No Thanks, I Packed This Morning and Last Night. Jack are We Missing anything?"
"I Don't Think We Are Missin- Oh Wait My Phone!"
"Wait, We are Missing Your Phone, let's Get it And Head Out." Mom Said
"Alright See You Mom, Stay Safe on the Road Home. Mom Said to Nana As We Left
"Alright See You Two" Nana Said
-It Went Pretty Straightforward after That, Mandy Was About To Call my Mom Anyways Since She Found it when She Was Doing a Sweep of All Their Things-
-We Managed to Pack Up the Car, Or Mostly My Mom did. I Just Watched-
-As We Were Packing, a Whoosh Could Be Heard Above-
"What The Hell?" Mom Said Looking Upwards Out of the Car
-Two Streaks of Blue and Red Just Flew By, Didn't See Much Of Whatever It Was. Just a Flash of Color Flew By Up Above. But It's Gone Now-
"what was that?" Mom Said Lowly
"Was That another Kind of Pokémon?" Mom Asked
"…" I Didn't Say Anything
"This Forest is Gonna be Full of These Pokémon. Now. I'm Happy We are Getting out While We Still Can" Mom Said Moving as twice as Fast Now
"I Think That was a Pokemon, I Have No Idea What it is but Either way That's Awesome! Hopefully, I Find More On the Way Home! This is Amazing! Going Around and Seeing Something I Don't Even Know!"
"Here you go Jack" Mom Said Opening the Door For me to Get In
- I Get In The Passenger Seat And Buckle Myself In. The Car Has the Time on it-
"3:47?! Huh, it Seems Like I'm Waking up Later and Later. Hopefully, that Doesn't Have Any Bad intentions for me. Or maybe I'm just Going through a Phase"
"Alright Jack, Let's Head on out," Mom Said as We Backed out of the Gravel Lot
"Man I Thought I'll Be here forever. There are Pros and Cons to being here, through Returning Home Is Better, it May Bring Lots of Change and Be Boring. But Getting into a more Familiar environment is better for me. Not a Forest"
-as we Drove down the Road out of the Area. I Saw Izzy wave in the Window and Then I Waved back-
"But Who Will I talk too Now? Izzy and Ella are Far Away. And this Forest I Could've Made Or At least Looked for Friends. And When I Get Home What Should I Even Do? Just Look At the News? I Mean I Should Find Ways to Have Fun. I Should Make a List of Things I Should try to accomplish"
-The Car Ride Was Packed With People. Mostly People Getting to Work I Hope, But Boy I Hope People Were Working Anyway, I Think We Dodged A Bullet Here. If People Stopped Working Then Society would collapse. I Hope Some People who Are Still Hiding Know that They Make it Worse-
"So Jack. I Think our Lives Is Going to Change a lot Just Take A Look Around, It's Like We're Now Living In a deranged FanFict that seriously Got Out of Hand. There's Pokémon Here, Not a lot, But Some to be Accounted For"
-I Look Around At the Passing Houses. I Do See Some Pokemon not much but a Few But Strangely See Mostly Eeveelutions, Like their Common 4/5 Are Eeveelutions, Still Pokemon Are Rare To Be Seen but I Still See a presence of Them.
"Jack. What if One Of them Get In the Road?" Mom Said
"Don't Worry. If their Smart they Wouldn't be Foolish Enough to Be Hit by A Car Going literally 25 Miles Per Hour
"Oh Wait That Is Still Pretty Fast" I Corrected myself
"Ok Jack" Mom Answered Back Cluelessly as I'm Most likely I'm just Saying gibberish
"So Jack. When We Get Home. What Should We Do? I Have a Job and So Does your Dad, But Schools Canceled Until Further Notice, But Dad Works From Home. People Still Need Steel Right?"
"But That's not the point. Since Izzy's Gone, You Have No one to talk Too, And Your Summer Has Been Mostly of Boy Scout Camps, Our Local Pool, and Your Xbox" Mom Said
"I Want You to Have Friends Jack, You Already Have Great and Wonderful Ones, But If Your Not Human…You Should Try to Find Other Members of Your Species" mom Said Looking Around
-a Whole Little Possi of A Vaporeon, Espeon, and An Eevee, and Others are Seen Hanging out by the Side of the Road-
"Hell. Do These Eeveelutions have Their Own Game? Every time I See A Pokémon it's One of those Eeveelutions. I Have Already Seen 3 of You Already"
"Well It Seems Like the Northeast United States Are Mostly Eeveelutions and Lower Canada as Well"
"I Should Put a Bow on You or Something. Sure The Other Umbrians Have Differentiating Fur a bit. Like One is more Fluffy a Bit and With Shorter Ears, You're Not Really all That Fluffy (You Feel Like A Fleece Blanket) but Your Tail is Long, and the Glowing part on it is larger Too, And Same with The Rings On You As Well"
"Damn I think I'm Going to Be a Pretty annoying Nightlight Then" I Chuckled
"And When Did you start Noting All these Things On Me?"
"Believe Me. I'm Going to make Every Bookmark I Can on You so I Can Differentiate you From Others" Mom Answered back
"So yea Back to the Topic. Since You're an Umbrian Now- "It's an Umbreon Not an Umbrian" - Ok then, Since your an Umbreon Now. Hopefully, I Can Find you Other People Or Friends That Can Understand you. Maybe there are some programs out there or an Umbreon will limit you a Bit. But You Could do New Things as Well, Maybe after A Week Or Two you Could Go Out on Your Own, You Know, Explore. But That's a bit of a Long Shot because I Don't Know What's Out There, There's Fire Breathing Creatures Out there, I Want you to be Safe. But I Want you to at least Do Something"
"Man. An Entire Rest of Summer Vacation for Exploring, Well What Could Go Wrong? Well, Lots of Things. I Could get Hurt and Be Alone, I Could Get Lost, I Could be Attacked."
"But isn't That the Thrill of It? I Mean There's Going to Be Other Kids out there. Hell, Even Adults, But there's No Real Difference Now, I'm Already At My Fully Evolved State…and I Bet there's Going to be Secret Hideouts and Bases…Lots of Craters From Pokemon Battles (I Bet Mostly Furries and Roleplayers Would Do That Mostly) And now that I Think of it. A Whole hell of Property Damage, Like A lot"
-I Think Of Things I Could Do, Making a Simple Store, Yea Not selling Complex Stuff maybe Like Berries I Suppose , Some other Ideas ate Just mostly Running Around And Doing Crap in Backyards , Just Maybe Imagine Me Just Selling Berries to Random People That Would be Cool, Oh Wait I'm Not Going to Bring out a Cash register and There's No currency or Anything ( No one in the right mind is going to Carry USD on Them) so That Plan is Scrapped but I Could Still Do it for the Fun of it-
"All I Want you to Feel Safe and Happy, I Do Not Know How to Deal With This. I Just Want You to Have a Bright Future, A Future With New Possibility's" mom Said
"There's Going to be Pokémon Everywhere I Go Now. They Look, So Unordinary, Sentient Animals Doing Human Things is So Bizarre, they Don't Even Look like Them, I Haven't Seen Much So Far. Only Izzy, And the Ones we are Seeing Now. But Wkle Have to Remember They Are Still Human Mentally. No Matter What they Look like. Right, Jack?" Mom Said Looking Surprised
"I'm Sorry, I Have to Remember That Your One Too Now"
"It's Okay, I'm sort of Still adjusting to Myself as Well, But I Think I'm Okay With it Now"
"Jack. Be Serious, Is there Monsters Out There Now?"
"It seems like this is A Yes or No Answer, What Should I Say? " I Thought
"Well, Uhh, No There's Not, only if you Think They Are" I Replyed
"That's Good, Plus the Pokémon Here Look Fine I Suppose, I Can Imagine a Future where This is a Bump in the Road, Four Generations from now and this will be a Norm"
"Welp Lets See What Happens When they Start learning Powers, I Bet Some already Know Some, Including Me, But That's only Flash, for Now, Soon it Going to be Like they will have a Rocket launcher on them At all Times. Well maybe Not Really…I Mean How Powerful are the Blasts Anyway?" I Thought
"Powers Should not automatically be Labeled as Bad. We And even I Don't Know the Full Extent of Them."
"Perhaps I'm thinking too Far Ahead But this be Could be Good, this Area Here Is Mostly the Same Type of Pokemon (Eeveelutions In this Case) I Can See a Community Start To Form here. A Community of Two Different Kinds Working Together, There Will Always be Bad People who do bad Things, Regardless. Humanity Would Now Probably Focus on their Similarities Rather than Differentises (Same Build, Same "Communication frequency") If that Is Going to Be A Good thing for My Kind I Do not Know Yet"
-Mom Turns on the Radio and turns it Up. We Already were Close to Home-
*loud Blank Static*
"Woah! Gonna Turn That Down" She said lowering the volume
-She Tickers with The Radio a bit, Switching From Channel to Channel, It Seemed like that One is only One That Staticky and Gone-
"Huh, Seems like California's Best Songs 24/7 is Only Static, While the Other Ones Work Fine"
-She Then Switches to a Local Channel that's Playing Orchestral Music, One of my Favorites Types of Music-
"Let's leave this on. You Like it Right?"
"Yep!"
-My House is In a Valley Between Two Mountains. it is A Moderately Sized Blue House. Right in A Packed neighborhood. Even in Pennsylvania, Filled With Forests and Mountains it May Be, There are Some Urban Areas. Near That there Is Still Forests and Creeks With lots of Deer-
-My Town is Close to an Important City As Well. Not Directly through. They Are Connected by a Bridge That Crosses Over The Beautiful Large Susquehanna River. An Important River For Trade, The City itself Is Not Really a Good One, It Has Lots of Problems, Crime and Drugs are Present there. I Know only to Not Go there at Night-
- but in my Town and Surrounding Area, There's Parks, Pools, Playgrounds and Such, I Could Possibly Find Friends There -
"Mom, Will I Please Be Able to Travel on my Own? And Even Before this, I Was Traveling About"
"I'm sorry Jack, I Can't Understand You, I'm So Sorry You Can't Say Much Now."
- I Whimper a bit -
"You can All the Questions you Want when We Get Home, Which is Right around the Corner and You Know What That Means…" Mom Said
-My Ears Perk Up With Excitement-
"I'll see my Dad! I Haven't Seen Him In A Long Time I Was Expecting to See Him come Home the Day…"
"The Day That This All Happened…"
-My Ears Perk Lower Than Before-
"Jack, Don't Be Afraid if He Doesn't Recognize You. He Knows What you Look Like Now, He Loves You, Either Way, He Wants you To know That"
"I Feel Horrible That You Haven't Talked to Him That Much, Everything is Too glitchy…But We Are No Longer In the Forest, Everything is Clearer Now"
"Who am I To Talk, you are in a New Body Going to See Your Father. Please Know that He Still Loves You, That's his Fear that You May Think That"
" I Know That You Worry A Lot. But This is Not Big At All " Mom Said
"I Wasnt Worried About It Anyways,"
-We Pull in the Driveway With My Dad's Car In The Driveway as Well-
"Oh look Who It Is!" Mom Said In Disbelief
-There Was My Dad Holding a Sign That read WELCOME HOME!' With a Huge Grin on His Face-
- The Car Door Opened? , and I Ran At Him, Giving Him a Massive Hug, Tail Wagging and Everything-
"Heh, Your A lot Calmer than the Things I've Seen," Dad Said Jokingly
