Chapter Three
Toby woke up the next morning and padded out the house. He sniffed around. Not all the scents from yesterday were here. But there were some new scents. He looked over, and saw a female Eevee (from the back). He wagged his tail. He rushed over to her and nudged her, his ears flattened.
"Uh… hi. I'm Toby." Toby blushed.
The Eevee turned around. She had the face of a ditto. "Ditto!"
Toby screamed and turned. He ran away from her, until two hands caught him. He looked up. Danny! He has come back! He wagged his tail and licked Danny. He was thankful he came. Danny laughed and pet him.
"Ok, boy. Let's go and meet the team," Danny held Toby to his shoulder as he climbed up. Toby perched on his shoulder and wagged his tail.
Danny walked Toby to his home. There was a Vulpix and a Growlithe. Toby wagged his tail at the Vulpix. He wanted to leap off Danny and lick her face off. But the Growlithe seemed a bit protective of her. And he now has a fear of Arcanine. This one may be one soon, and he can destroy him anytime he wants.
"Ok, go explore." Danny placed Toby down.
He looked at the Growlithe and Vulpix. Toby gulped and backed up a bit. He screamed when something grabbed his back. A Pidgeotto leered down at him. Toby squealed and ran under the couch. He shuttered and covered his eyes. If he wanted to win the Vulpix' heart, it'd be a long time from now.
"Falcon!" The Vulpix hissed. "You're scaring him!"
The Pidgeotto just stared at the couch. "Hmm… he'll never last. Never will he evolve or be a true member of the team. Watch, he'll stay there all night."
"No he won't! You'll see!" Vulpix cried. She looked at the Growlithe, "Let's leave him. He's been through a lot,"
He did stay under there all day.
