Route 1

Hiding inside a field of greenery, Eevee who is now named 'Loneliness,' is avoiding any wild Pokemon as well as Leaf who is now following him. After that he crouched down into camouflage in order to not get caught.

"Loneliness! Where are you!? Professor Oak is worried about you! So please, come back!" Leaf called as she's trying to catch Loneliness' attention.

A long ear raised and then lowering it again, causing Loneliness to play hide and seek with its 'new trainer.'

"Vee…"

"Rata?" A wild Rattata appeared behind a fluffy brown thing as it thought it could be it's natural rival, a Pidgey.

On Leaf's side, she sighed and fell to her knees as well as her backside, realising that Loneliness cannot be found.

"Maybe I should ju- Huh? Who's there!?" Hastily yanking out a knife, Leaf heard a rustling behind a tall grass before something pops out.

Breaking a nervous sweat as Leaf steadily raises her knife like a sword, hoping that no Pokemon is rabid.

The only sound that's heard is a Rattata and a chomp, and then…

"EEVEEEEEEEE!" An Eevee howled while leaping out of a tall grass with a Rattata biting his tail.

"There you are, Loneliness!" Excitedly hugging Loneliness as Leaf had found a Pokemon jumping out of a tall grass with a Rattata sinking its large teeth on an Eevee's tail.

A few moments later, Leaf puts a leash on Loneliness and is dragging her Pokemon as Loneliness refuses to walk. Leaf should've known that its stubborn behaviour is going nowhere.

"Come on, Loneliness…"

"Vee." Loneliness turned his head away from his new trainer, acting ignorant towards Leaf herself.

"Mmn… I get that you're angry, but I won't abandon you."

"Eevee!" That made things worse as Leaf continued with a nervous smile.

"I can feed you, bathe you, play with you, train you, give you… Friends to play with?"

Silence.

"Vee." Loneliness finally turned his back on Leaf after hearing her excuses.

This resulted in Leaf being dejected.

"Haa!? Why? Guess there's only one option, Loneliness, get in your Poké ball!" Leaf held out a Poké ball and pointed it towards an Eevee that doesn't care about anything.

Except the ball.

Growling as Leaf is preparing to put Loneliness back in his Poké ball, Loneliness raised its paw.

As Leaf tossed it, Loneliness clawed it as well as slapping the ball away from it.

"Eevee!" Loneliness barked until his teeth sharpened.

"Uh oh…" Leaf messed up her chance, so big that no trainer is safe from an angry Pokemon.

Before Leaf makes a run for it, Loneliness leaped and dive by using [Bite] on Leaf, but instead, multiple times.

"VEE!"

"Loneliness! Wai- OW! Stop it! Stop using Bite! LONELINESS!"

Another few moments later.

Leaf is still dragging the leash after picking up Loneliness' Poké ball, knowing that she's forgotten a Poké Dex. With all those teeth marks all over her body, Leaf could only find herself in this mess as bonding with this 'hostile' Pokemon is going to be an even bigger challenge.

If Red managed to be best friends with both Charizard and Pikachu, and Blue with Blastoise and Jolteon, then Leaf could make friends with an Eevee. But she needed some advice from Red.

"Oh boy."

"SPEAROW!" A caw so loud that it made Leaf covering her ears.

"What?" Leaf had witnessed a Spearow with a scar on its eye, let alone looking a lot angrier than before. "A Spearow? What are you doing here?"

"Spear, Spearow! Spearow!" A Spearow squarked.

"What?"

As Spearow forgot, it's common for trainers to not understand Pokemon language since they're obviously human.

A scarred Spearow went on the ground and pulled out its talons by drawing pictures of what happened with this Spearow from earlier.

While Leaf pulls out her Poké Dex, this Spearow's gender has been identified as male, also due to its behavior and how alpha this Pokemon is.

The picture is done as a Spearow tells a story by translating itself.

It says this: "Yesterday, us Spearows are having fun in the snow with Rattatas and Pidgeys, despite having no trainers and we're supposed to hibernate this season.

But then one day, an Eevee had threatened one of our comrades, Rattata, to battle as we're here to defend her. This Eevee isn't supposed to be without a trainer, but he threatened to fight Pidgeys, Rattatas and us Spearows.

I volunteered to fight that Eevee and lost by receiving a scar on my forehead. I'll never forgive that Eevee who had gone feral and attacked our habitat! But no more! We'll retaliate and take back our homes!"

As every wild Pokemon cheered for this Spearow's speech, Leaf's jaw had dropped in shock after hearing their backstory, then turned towards Loneliness with a cold stare.

"Loneliness… What have you done?" Leaf asked in a lower pitched tone and picked up a leashed Eevee. "You doomed us both."

"Vee?" Loneliness tilted his head in confusion as well as not caring about any Pokemons' homes and safety.

"Spear!"

A horde of wild Pokemon are pointing their beaks towards Loneliness and Leaf as well as sharpening their claws and teeth.

"SPEAR!"

Every wild Pokemon prepared themselves as Leaf picked out a knife that she got from Professor Oak while trying to protect Loneliness from getting massacred.

"SPEAROW!"

And it begins. Every Spearows, Fearows, Pidgeys, Pidgeottos and Pidgeots are diving down towards a Pokemon and his trainer, as Rattatas and Raticates are dashing towards the duo and open their jaws as widely as possible.

Leaf couldn't do anything, but to guard Loneliness by mounting on top of an Eevee which was already prepared for round two. Unfortunately, this Eevee can't fight as his trainer is covering him after hearing Leaf's yelps and grunts.

"Vee?"

"Ngh! Like I said, Loneliness, I'll protect you no matter what happens to me." Coughing again, Leaf isn't getting any better which made Loneliness pitying his new trainer.

"Eevee…"

The only option Leaf has left is to use that knife on her hand before she dies along with Loneliness.

"Not… Yet…" Clenching her fist with a knife, Leaf successfully swung a knife by picking herself and Loneliness up and desperately swinging on Rattata's eyes.

It's super effective.

"RATTA!"

"CATE!" A Raticate yelped and picked up its bleeding and now blind young.

"BACK! BACK AWAY! LET US GO, YOU FEATHERED CREEPS!" Leaf, desperately, pointed her bloody knife at a horde while holding Loneliness after it witnessed what Leaf did.

Every wild Pokemon gasped and then glared at Leaf who legitimately harmed a Pokemon with her own two hands. But what they'll do is what no Pokemon ever has done and it's ending a trainer's life.

Leaf knew that she made a huge mistake by saying something horrible to wild Pokemon as well as physically harmed a Rattata. She messed up.

"Wait, I- I can explain!" Leaf nervously took a few steps backwards, but was cornered by a wild horde as Loneliness growled at all the wild Pokemon.

Before every Pokemon charged towards Leaf and Loneliness, an unknown spark from the sky landed in front of them and made every wild Pokemon dodge from getting electrocuted.

"Huh? Is that a…"

A hand had shoved Leaf pass all the Pokemon and let her make a run for it. Leaf knew that every Pokemon was freaking out and frozen with fear as an unknown silhouette vanished.

Leaf doesn't know who that person is, but this trainer had a Pokemon that learned an electric type move.

She then continues on by running away from a horde as a Spearow still refuses to accept defeat.

"SPEAROW!" A Spearow squarked loudly as it summons an army of Spearows.

Panting as Leaf could feel a sting all over her body after keeping Loneliness safe and unharmed, she's still carrying that bloody knife as well as having a bloodstained hand.

As painful as feeling a lot of pins and needles, Leaf still kept on going and going as there were more Spearows from above.

"Why can't they just leave us alone?"

"Vee!" Loneliness couldn't take much more of Leaf's tiredness as well as leaping from her arms, despite having a leash on his neck.

"Huh? Loneliness?"

"EEVEE! EEVEE!" What Loneliness is trying to say is that if that Spearow wanted round 2, then they have a Pokemon battle.

As a horde got the chance to attack, Loneliness is playing smart by using [Quick Attack] on 3 spearows.

[Slash] on 5 Spearows on full circle and [Bite] one Spearow's neck.

A Pokemon that can use moves without a trainer is what made Loneliness feel like a wild Pokemon.

But as Loneliness did win a one on one battle, he's getting himself in a situation that one vs all is a biggest disadvantage as he gets clawed and pecked everywhere as well as fighting back.

As a couple of Spearows have clawed on Leaf as well as jabbing her chest with its sharp beak, Loneliness can obviously tell that Leaf isn't lying about protecting her new Pokemon.

"Eevee?" Loneliness can see through his vision, a young trainer, ill yet more determined to be friends and be the very best like no one ever was.

That has Loneliness fighting and fighting as he and Spearows are brawling, desperately trying to end this fight immediately.

10 minutes has passed and Loneliness is looking beaten as well as getting his claws dirty. Loneliness limped closer to Leaf who is luckily unconscious.

"Eevee…" Loneliness whined as he rubbed his head on Leaf's chin, realising that his trainer is risking her life for Loneliness' sake.

Footsteps have appeared right in front of Loneliness and an unconscious Leaf as he looked down at an Eevee with curiosity.

"Vee?"

"Hey, Pikachu! There's a wild Eevee. You ready, buddy?" A young boy, Ash Ketchum, asked while his Pikachu stopped and pointed down.

"Pika! Pika!"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

That had Ash witnessing an unconscious trainer at the end of Route 1. It was his brother's childhood friend.

"Is that… Leaf!? Oh man! Don't worry, Eevee, I'll take you guys to the Pokemon Centre! Let's go, Pikacku!"

"Pikachu!"

While Ash is picking up Leaf with a piggyback ride by wearing his bag on front, Pikachu is carrying Loneliness by the arm and the group are walking towards Viridian City.

Leaf made it.
