Hello Everyone! I'm happy I'm here to give everyone another chapter, sorry if there has been some interruptions and all with the timing. I'm not dead.
Happy 1 year Anniversary of 30 Percent!
Probably going to send out Chapters from now on when I feel their finished, This Chapter was really Fun and exciting for me, That Past Chapter was needed to set things up for the future. I also have a public discord if you want to ask questions
Damn Chapter 17…I've gotten pretty far! Anyways…
Chapter 17 - the Usual Controlled Chaos
3 Days Later
"Alright I got the stuff for you" I said lowering the backpack which was on my side
"Oh wow, thanks man. I hope it wasn't too much to ask" Steven replied
-Steven grabs out some Pringles which I brought and opens them, boy does he seem excited-
"Yeah, I heard you were staying here, at least for a bit before you make your own little hut"
-muffled- "Yeah" he said eating some chips
"Yeah, it's actually been pretty fine here is suppose, I don't get really cold because I'm literally a heater heheh"
"I mean it's like a main hub, to find groups or make a deal or Barter, not really a living place." He said as he showed me his little living place, which was a little enclosed space on the side near the ladder when I first met him, with some blankets and a little lantern. He's on the second floor and using the ladder was abit of a pain, but I've gone up like 10 times already.
"It's Sorta loud at times, but hey I got a roof. I don't need much anyways"
"Honestly, I don't how your pulling it off here. I would have so much guilt" I said
"Well, becoming something…eh different, really makes the difference, I feel different and I'm excited for what's to come. Even though what's the come is not the best for us. especially me, im happy I got out of there, I'm sad it had to happen in the first place, but being a fire type in that situation and way that now it seems to be the trend to avoid fire types, If I didn't do it first, he would've eventually kicked me out"
'Stevens a Fire type, it will be hard in the future for him. It's honestly disappointing.'
"I'm better off here, ya know with our kind. Hell even Staying with my dad will only bring problems. He's a Human, they won't understand us and what our problems are." Steven said
"Yeah, I guess your right. But I hope you know what your doing, it will be hard. I'm just here to get you some things since I had some snacks to spare." I said seriously
"Well The good thing about being near some other Eevons is that we have powers! Maybe in the future I can catch some rabbits and roast them?"
"I…don't Know any fire moves yet, even with using the Pepper that Rin suggested, maybe I can get it to work sometime"
"But thanks for the stuff, it's greatly appreciated." Steven said
"Oh Hello you two" I heard someone say
-I turn around and I see Cyan, who was sporting a dark grey cap, with his ears sticking out the sides-
"Oh hey Cyan, hows it going? How's the Ribbon doing?"
"I'm doing pretty well, the ribbon is doing better" he said sticking out the one in question which had some white bandages over it
"It's has Gotten better thanks for asking, it's no biggie. I've gotten used to these ribbons, well not really ribbons because they are like arms and hands to me, at least I have 3 other ones for the time being, I have to remember these are not invincible, at least I now know they are organic"
"Yo and also, you know Kevin? That employee?"
"The random butt who guards that corridor Like it's his fricken job?"
"Yeah an Umbreon just put up his fricking hat for auction" Cyan said with Laughter
"Your serious? that's hilarious"
"Yo I have to see this!" Steven said moving to the railing to look below at the mini crowd which was forming to look at the prize
"PAH! My god that's funny" he said turning around chuckling
-Steven then went back to his little hideout, and started to loaf on his blankets-
"How has your Psychic powers been Jack?" Cyan asked
-I get down to take some more things out for Steven from the makeshift side backpack I made a day earlier-
"It's going well. I don't think I'll be as powerful as like an Espeon with them. That's a given. But i can hold an empty plastic water bottle, I'm going with the bottles first, then if I can see to uncap them"
"I don't think I'll learn Shadowball or anything like that for awhile. Not my first priority" I Said getting out the last of the things
"Alright your good man" I said to Steven, as I got up and he said a thanks
"Well the situation of the town has gotten somewhat worse, Especially with the wave of Anarchy and unrest in Brook's Barre, when they actually try to stop it after literally doing nothing for the past week, it just gets worse." Cyan said
"Well, heh it's basically a dumpster fire waiting to happen, I just hope they don't block us off from the city" I said trekking on the walkway
"Pah! If they actually wanted to do that, they would've done it awhile ago, if they did it now. It would just add fuel to the flames" he said following behind
"How's the situation with Boston? I saw some things on it, Have you personally heard anything from there recently on any news outlets?"
"Yeah! If you think our area is bad, which it's not that bad, because it still has many problems, we are Eevons which has its job difficulty's. But I'll say we are around…hm half and half, maybe less"
"But yeah the Northern areas? Like New England? Guess what! They are all Eevons too! Boston is all Eevon!" My ears peaked in interest as I looked back with excitement
"Woah! Is there anything else?" I responded
"Not much else actually, barely can get anything else out from up there, either way that's really good because the more we dominate and be the majority in those areas. The government will have to at least care about us"
"Lets hope they actually do care, and care about us in ways other than limiting us" I said making it to the ladder and preparing to go down
"Did you hear about a pretty big Fight happening in the outskirts of our area like yesterday?" Cyan said
"I did hear, I don't know exactly what they were fighting about, But I think it was over a dispute of control of at least something. Anything happen dear by that little Creek? as I know that's sorta nearby" I responded while going down the ladder
"I don't really have the full details of it, but everything sure does get worse when humans get involved"
-I made it down the ladder and I take a glance around, I saw that Umbreon made some good items off of that hat, who was walking away with some surprisingly Actual Money, he looked surprised someone actually gave real money. I also saw a old chalk board was brought out, probably out of some storage way back, with some names on it in a bracket format, Which was being managed By some Eveons and a Furret. I also randomly saw that a Jolteon powering a battery, or at least trying To do so, to charge something,-
-Pretty much everyone is surely getting the benefits from their powers, and the fact that only we all can understand each other and really sets the fact that Humans don't really belong here-
"Yeah, they don't have any sort of powers or anything, or some resistance to them as well, but hey." I said looking back to see that he got down as well
"We are pretty just Pokémon huh? Pretty crazy fact that now is a reality. I don't think we are Cute, I mean I'm pretty fluffy but that's not really Cute, my mom Brushing my Fur really made a mess. But it felt nice actually, I actually really liked it but I hated it at the same time"
"We all have those kind of feelings, like I actually tried taking a shower. Using my Feelers it was sorta easier to actually do things, but I totally wasn't prepared for it."
"Alright well see ya later Jack" he said waving goodbye with one of his feelers
"See ya Cyan, stay safe!"
-I decide to take a look at the board, I saw yesterday some organized Battles, yep actual Pokémon battles.-
'I knew something like this would eventually happen since the start'
-I go up by The Furret and I check out the board, seems like they actually got a pretty decent one. The entire Tourney with who were participating were pretty small, around 8-
'Woah! I knew she was in it, I heard she was thinking of doing one to get better at her powers'
-It looked like Rin actually won the battle yesterday! I didn't see the results so I didn't know if it actually happened or who won-
-I saw Rin, or by her 'Elemental' Name which was now 'Blackwater' Which is really edgy not gonna lie, Was going against a supposed 'Booster' it didn't say any time for the battle-
"Excuse me, what Species is Booster?" I turned to furret to ask
"Oh it's a Jolteon. Yep, an Electric type if you're not familiar with those. Blackwater is gonna get steamed lmao"
'Electric types are ultra effective against Water types, some of my Weaknesses are Fighting and Fairy types, so for example, Cyans powers are Ultra Effective Against me'
"Shouldn't you guys done it like types that effective towards each other, get put in different brackets? So it doesn't impact much?" I asked the furret
"…Uhhh"
-Slam!-
-I then hear a big door Slam, which causes me to jump in fear, I look around quickly for any dangers and I see 2 teenage Human Girls by the side door, who look like the kind of people who do tik toks every 5 minutes-
'oh no'
"Oh my god! Look how cute they all are!" One of said with great happiness with Brown hair and a bag
-I take a quick look around and literally all the Pokemon are just staring at them motionlessly, then again it's a pretty comedic sight-
"They look exactly the same from Pokémon Go! This is amazing! They are all just vibin in here!" The other girl said in response
-One of the girls wearing a Pokémon hat walked up to an Unfortunate Leafeon looking dazed, who looked like it was sleeping abit, who was by the door when they came in
"Hi! Your a Pokémon so you can't speak! So I'll just try to get the basic meaning of what your saying!"
"Wait what?" The Leafeon rubbed it's eyes trying to get a hold on the situation
"Ah ha! It even says Leafeon as well! Nice to meet you too!"
"Wow…they are all staring at us," said the other "Do you think we interrupted something?" Looking Rather confused
"I don't know, maybe they aren't comfortable with Humans?"
"Well maybe this will help!" The one with the bag takes out a pair of Eevee ears and puts it on
"Eevuli?"
"What in the honest frick do we do" Said the Furret looking towards the general direction of the Elementals
"No clue? Maybe they will just go away?" Said a Glaceon behind me
"But How are we cute? They shouldn't even be here" said another Evon
"I mean we are Pokémon so they could just be fangirls or something"
"Are they Visco girls?"
-general murmuring can be heard around the room-
"Don't think they're buying it." Said the other
"What do you mean? They seem to like it, but honestly look at this chubby woby leafy boyo…"
"It honestly looks terrified THB"
"Well, maybe it just needs a friend" then gesturing towards everyone "was anyone mean to this leafy boy?" Said the girl with the ears
"Oo! Oo! Wonder if they have any good powers Yet? We haven't really gotten to see many Pokémon, Maybe we can get a conversation going?"
"They definitely have some sort of powers, Here Wait Liv, I have some paper"
-the two girls start to bicker if we can even use pencils. while they are doing so the Leafeon scampers away-
"Alright! Does anyone of you Pokémon want to say hello?" Said the One with the hat
"No No, let me speak I have the ears"
"You honestly think they will think they will trust you more because of those ears?" Said the one with the hat
"Pssh the ears are sorta cute tho"
"If we are going to get them to trust us, they are wild Pokémon after all, or maybe they are like a mini family? Or group Remember 'Eevee and Friends'?" Said the one with the ears
'Wild? Bruh…Great, They are both stupid.'
"Well, they are transformed Humans as well, we have to remember that as well, but they are so Cute I can't even stand it, hmm" she said getting out something from her bag, which was a bag of salted peanuts who then threw it slowly, sliding it into the Center of the factory
"Really, salted peanuts?" The other girl said with the hat in disgust, grabbing the bag "some could be Allergic to them."
"But they can possibly find trust in food? That's literally all the ideas I have, try to think of any other idea? the paper idea won't go that well because from what I've noticed they all are like…uh frozen" Said the Girl with the ears
'Those peanuts look really good actually, could I even eat them if I tried? That one doesn't require to break open any real nut so that's good'
'You know what, free food. I'll take it'
-I focus real hard on the small bag of peanuts and push slowly the bag of peanuts towards me close enough, Then I quickly nab the peanuts-
"Ah ha! See! See! I told you! Some Trust can be made through food!" Said the Girl in excitement pointing to me
"Congrats on the lucky peanuts man!" Said an Eveon nearby
'I guess I can save these for later'
"No no no, you just threw a snack into the middle of a butch of Eevons, of course one of them is going to nab it"
"Well, what else would you have expected? That was exactly the point, I wonder if we can look around? Because at the moment we are just sorta doing nothing" Said the one with the ears talking to the other
"Well uh, Sure! Yeah! There's a board right over there"
-She begins to walk over where I am, then Me and the others back away to have some space between her and us-
"Oh god she's coming over"
"I hope she doesn't do anything stupid"
"excuse me, little guys, don't mean to get in the way here,…hmm" she said examining the chalkboard
"Ah…You guys have a little tournament goin on here!, neat. Look at this Olivia" She said as the other came over and then also examined the board closely
"Huh, there's a Blackwater on there."
"That's pretty edgy not gonna lie lmao" She said with a chuckle Turning to the other girl
"Other than that…this is pretty boring" She said Disappointedly
"And that's sayin something for being in large area with all these Pokémon, but it seems like they don't want to interact"
-The one with the Ears peers around from her current spot and finds nothing of interest-
"Yeah, I don't see anything to note, just a depressing building. Let's continue the search for other areas."
"Alright then, let's get a move on!"
-The girl with the ears waves to all of us joyfully saying something that we are cute, then with the one with the hat, Walk out of the building. a Collective sigh of relief is heard in the building, then everything begins to settle down a bit-
"Man, they sure got really close to us! You even got those Peanuts!" Said the furret turning back to me after watching the girls leave
"I hope they don't do anything stupid now, they could've easily gotten hurt" said a Glaceon that was sitting on a Metal chair near the board
"They literally treated us like literal Pokémon, and hell giving us food? That's like treating us like a Damn zoo animal"
"Aw come on Lucas," Said a Leafeon nearby "they looked like they were having fun, they probably didn't know better"
"That's the point I'm trying to give, they should've known better, We are Human beings. Either way, if they go too near me, they are becoming a Popsicle"
"So anyway, where are the battles being held?" I asked the furret "Could you show me?"
"Yeah sure, follow me"
-I follow the furret and it starts to lead me towards the back of the factory, passing by the Door I opened up a while back-
"So right here is a Backdoor that leads outside" it said pushing it open, "It's pretty basic, it ain't much. Just a clearing in the woods sorta" Leading me into the grassy area
"So How do the battles work exactly?"
"Well, uh" the furret said "Basically it's just like the anime when someone gives up or faints."
"Sounds painful." I replied
"Actually it's not that bad" it said looking back at me "we surprisingly have a sorta mini resistance to powers, and you should see how much freakin stamina we have. we are like, Overpowered Animals with sentience"
"That's pretty cool"
"Yeah, honestly we are just making Up The rules as it goes on because we don't know really what to expect, no one has really done this before. So let's just see what happens first. Any interest?"
"Nope, not a chance. Too intense and I don't even like to even try to hurt someone, even if it's play. I also don't have any Offensive moves." I said "I'm more of a spectator on the sidelines, i don't like to be the main attention of things a lot."
'Though I did get these peanuts though. But hey, free freakin Peanuts.'
"Ah, That makes sense. Pretty interesting to see an Non-Eevon around these parts huh?"
"Yeah, but are pretty much the same anyways. Both four leggers sorta, do people ask you to walc for them?"
"Ah yes, the famous furret walk. The Pokémon meme is now somehow real. Honestly im fine with most of the time." the furret responded, "To you Want to do see it?"
"Eh, sure." I said
-The furret then does a cute little walk around the small field, it's Surprisingly pretty interesting, and then returns-
"It's the third time today, I honestly thought had everyone seen it already."
"Heh, yeah. It's Probably pretty annoying being asked to do that a lot"
"It's not bad, it looked like you were pretty amused. Names Jorden." handing his paw out for a shake
"Well nice to meet you Jorden" I said shaking the paw "my name is Jack"
"Nice to meet you Jack, I'm going to head back inside, feel free to poke around"
"Alright, see ya Jorden"
-I look around, and I'm currently behind the factory. Back there it is pretty forested and pretty thick. But where I'm at now, which has some sun poking through above, Is a nice flat area surrounded by forest. It's a good spot for any kind of battle-
'I wonder what else is there?'
-I look around where I was behind the factory, The shattered windows, the overgrown ivy and nature, lots of trash, some spray paint on the back wall.-
'Heh, good old abandoned buildings, nice and secluded and Secure. Except when Teenagers are poking around for their 'Pokémon adventure''
-I look around Behind the Factory to see if I can find anything-
'Damn, theres no dumpsters. I should've expected that, I could've found something neat possibly'
-After Completing my Main objective with Steven, giving him some supplies. I move onto my other mini-mission, Scouting.-
-I sit and I Remove the makeshift Side Pack, It works surprisingly really well, I had a lot of free time last night because I work really well in the night-
-I Pull out a Pencil and some Paper from the pack using my paws, and I place them off to the side-
'Yesterday I mapped out a Basic Map of the Factory. now that I'm an Umbreon, I have a lot of time to kill.'
'People are going to need Maps because they need to get around, and well who wants to bring a phone since you can easily lose it? I mean I wouldn't, I can't really speak for everyone'
-My plan was to travel around, mainly just adventuring for the fun of it. But also to Map locations, I know I can't do much with what I have, supplies…and physical form. But to basically to make basic sketches of the landscape when I get the chance, then tonight Make them look good using my memory-
'Alright, So first. I'll just make a point of…here' I made a Dot on the map
-I Look around my general direction, and then looking at the sky and the treeline-
'Alright so this area where I'm at is pretty well out there sorta'
'So if I got here, through there. I should make a line for a street there'
-I Write out and Draw some Parts of the map, making Some simple streets first, then marking the area where the factory was located, I made the Area I was in the center, then so I could branch out.-
'I mean, is this even useful?… I have nothing better to do anyway'
'Hmm, what i should I name this place?' I thought while making a Line near the Factory for a name to be placed 'im just going to put…Factory, probably the best name I could do'
-I take a look at the progress I made, it's not much and the rest I can do in a better place. But it's looking good so far. Now I'm going to look around, maybe I can find other areas as that's always good-
'Let's find some other settlements around here, or possibly find something interesting' I thought as I got my stuff together and got up
-I made my way across the small field, and after looking for a good opening in the forestry I started walking through-
'My four legs makes it easier for me to go to places, and I feel…more stable you may say with them?'
-I kept moving forward, it's not really that Thick and my smaller body is good for moving. But everything seems so much bigger…the trees…the bushes. And hell sometimes even sticks-
'Im actually pretty happy, I'm alone. I'm basically free.'
-I stop and I take a look around-
'there's no one here, no one watching me. No people insight. Hell I don't even see any trace of the factory from here'
"Hahahaha!" I started to laugh abit then I got quiet
'Hear that? . . . Yep. I don't hear anything. Just the Sounds of the winds going through the trees, a bird tweeting. And the grass beneath my feet. The quiet is beauty to my ears'
'No one can tell me what to do now, I haven't felt that in a while. It's relieving'
-I continue on my way, Then I find where the forest ends and to a small Grass depression which was very wide, which Eventually lead upwards to a flat area-
'I can't see what's up there from this spot'
-I make it up to the top and I find it's a paved Long Road, which had some cars going across currently, it seems like I found of the roads that lead into the town nearby-
'Man! You would only really be where am I now if your car broke down or something'
'I'm not going to cross the road, don't need to do anyways.'
-i peer to what I could find in the distance, which was only mainly a Small Gas Station, Which was Called Junion Gas. An Interesting name that was. there wasn't any forest or secluded areas past this point, just normal town stuff. neat.-
'Maybe sometime I could get snacks from there, but I don't know.'
-I turn around the other direction leading back into the forest, and I make my way through-
'With people becoming Pokémon here, some jobs won't be able to be managed, a lot of people probably lost their jobs.'
'I wonder what a Society will be in the future? Some People being Four-legged and some Two-legged. One with Supernatural Elemental Powers and the Other…'
'Eh, they have Thumbs going for them'
'I find it funny how some things will be changed to accommodate to people who are only on four legs, Or possibly the thought amuses me'
'Maybe in the major cities they can actually do a Metro System? Maybe like Europe?'
'I'm actually really good at remembering where I've been, as long I'm paying attention. I can easily go back to where I've come from. I don't know why it is sometimes so hard for other people'
'I wonder if I will be allowed in restaurants? That's a pretty easy answer to ask? Eh? It's going to be a lot harder in general. Some of them won't even be ready or even able to do much, I'm largely referring to Eevons here. Maybe later at home I can ask my mom if we could have a Pizza delivered or something.'
'I'm feelin for a Pizza tonight—if I can eat it. But I probably can. Im happy I can eat human food, or at least some.'
-Once I actually got out of the forest, I made it back behind the factory, I had also decided I would ask for some Pizza Bella later tonight, as that's my favorite-
'Alright so what now? Hmm. Maybe I can ask around to see if people know any good hideouts or anything, then ask them to mark them on my map, Or maybe just something they like'
-I push open the back door, I see everything has largely settled after the little 'intrusion'-
'Oh wait! I know who to possibly go to if he's around. Can't believe I forgot.'
-I Walk by the Espeon who was by the door, the same Espeon who got into a fight with Rin sometime. It was before I even found this place, I guess it was something over Spraying water on the Espeon to see a funny reaction. Bet it was pretty funny. Also Found out the Espeon's was Patricia, sounds like a Karen name to be honest-
-I turn the corner to head over to some inclosed storage rooms. They are open except for the ceiling and the other walls, with some Iron bars and plates on the only open side, where I spot the guy inside one of them with a few others, it was pretty dark and lit with only a lantern-
"Ah, surprised you actually were here" I said
-The Leafeon with the flatcap, who was currently going over some papers with Several other Eveon, looks up to me-
"Oh hey. hang on, I'll be with you in the second
-The Leafeon's name was Conor, who helped me out yesterday with drawing out the map of the factory, where I asked him some questions on the origins and layout of it, it seems like he knows the area extremely well. Well Of course I know my area. But this guy has the Outskirt Locations street smarts-
-It seems like the Leafeon was doing some sort of planing with some others, which was currently accommodated with a somewhat darker shaded Vaporeon and an Umbreon who may or may not be the guy who got the Hat from the Employee-
"Alright what do you need?" He said to me
-I pull out my basic sketched map, and I place it on the little table they made-
"I was wondering if you knew any other locations like the factory. It seems like you are almost an expert on that sort of stuff"
"Hmm, Yeah you may say that." The Leafeon said examining my paper "Alright so"
-He grabs a Pencil with his paw, and starts to mark and write on the map-
"You don't have much on this currently, so I am doing some quick things and I'll mark some areas to the best of my ability"
-He then hands it back to me, And I use physic again to put it back into my pack-
"Thank you very much"
"Now if you ever plan on going to any of these places, take note, because some may not like unwanted visitors"
"I also made some notes on the locations in general. Some of them may be more friendly than others. This Area you are right now currently in is pretty much the Hub of all this this"
"Take care. through yesterday I did ya a favor, Do you have anything? I'm pretty hungry."
"Here, I recently got these, hope you like peanuts man"
-I give him the peanuts and it looked he liked them, it seemed like the two other Eveons wanted to me to leave, so I said goodbye and thanks for the help and then walked out with the new information I have been given-
'Now I really can start to explore!'
'Better not waste the opportunity at paw here!
