The fire gave another pop, sending sparks flying into the evening sky.

"That's the third pop in the last 2 minutes. Maybe we shouldn't have used such sappy wood," I lamented.

"Hey," Destiny replied, "It's fine. There aren't many other types of trees here."

"I like it when the fire goes POP!" Sam exclaimed.

"If you say so," I sighed, giving her a pat on the head.

Ten years ago, I found an amazing power. Through a strange series of events, I, a normal Eevee, became a fusion of every eeveelution. Met a girl, fell in love, had a child… From that point, things were almost like normal, except for having such overwhelming strength.

Alan and the others… I don't know where they are. Baron and Emily left, then the others soon followed. Flarey still shows up for a while every few months, but for the most part, it's just me, Destiny, and Sam.

Oddly, we're all fine with that. I mean, at least it's not boring. Someone comes to try and fight me every so often, so things stay exciting for me. Sam seems to be entertained watching her old man fight. Destiny and I even spar occasionally.

"Daddy, tell us a story!" Sam suddenly bubbled as the fire popped again, catching me off guard.

"I-uhh… Right now?"

"Yeah! Right now!"

"Uhh… Daddy's out of stories right now, but if you wait a bit, I can think up a new one for you."

"Okay," Sam groaned.

I sat up and focused on the fire, letting it be my gateway…

One of my many strange abilities allows me to look into and communicate with myself in other universes. I try to keep it hidden from Destiny and Sam, as they only are part of my life in this universe, and I don't want to hurt their feelings. I attempted to look into some, hoping one would provide a thrilling tale…

"There's one," I muttered to myself. "Tenkai #56,473…"

"What was that?" Destiny asked.

"Oh, nothing!" I replied, catching myself. "I have a story now. Are you ready, Sam?"

"Yes!" she giggled out, barely able to contain her excitement.

"Then prepare to hear the tale… of the Spirit Masters!"

"Ooh, is it story time?" a voice called out from behind me. I turned my head, looking for the source, and saw a Flareon emerging from the shadows.

"Uncle Flarey!" Sam exclaimed, hopping onto his back and hugging him.

"Ah, Flarey. You're just in time to hear my new story. Just thought it up."

"Nice!" He sat down across from me, with Sam starting to get comfortable in his fluff.

"Now, where was I? Oh, yeah." I cleared my throat. "Our story begins in the Hoenn region, where a young human is training his Pokemon, unaware of the adventure that awaits him…"

Here we go...

Alright, story time.

I originally wrote part of this immediately after writing Chronicles of Tenkai (please go read that if you haven't yet), but gave up on it due to events that happened in my personal life, as well as just basically wandering around with ideas, knowing where I wanted to eventually go but not how I should get there.

After those events passed, I decided to re-visit it with a new mind. I found the problems that made me not like the original, and started anew. The first thing I did was re-frame it and connect it to the other story. Originally, It just took place in another universe, but between giving up and starting new, I gave Tenkai the power to communicate with himself in other universes. Why did I pick such a big number? Well...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I honestly have no idea.
