Rebekah's turn! I didn't know when I'd get to this and this is the beginning of April update madness. I'll explain at the bottom
A/N: Rebekah is wearing a white T-shirt with a dark green jacket and a pair of faded blue jeans. If you're reading "The Beginning of Sinnoh's Defense System" or "The War" (the respective prequel and sequel to "The Eevee Sisters" by Dolphin02), then you already know what Rebekah's Eevee evolves into. However, you don't have the full story. As I said in the ending A/N of the most recent chapter for the prequel, Rebekah's past and journey will take away from the story's purpose. I am including snippets. Her journeys will likely be written in 3 volumes/books; whichever term I decide. If you don't want the spoiler of how her Eevee evolves, skip to the end. However, I don't know when I'll get her journeys up. ...Probably sooner than I think and probably after I finish this miniseries. I only own OCs and the storyline.
Rebekah and Gem
(Alternate titles: "Rebekah's Gem", "Gem's Origin" and "Gem's History: at Last!")
I walked into the room. Well, until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked at mom. "Are you going to use one of the balls you made?" she whispered into my ear and I nodded. I took a breath. Four Eevee remained. I could see one just pretty much snuggling up to Grace. Another was running back and forth. The other two were with Louis. It was just a guess, but I think that those two are the girls. *
I knelt and gave Grace a scratch in between her ears. "Vay~" she drawled, seemingly in bliss. The little one just looked at me curiously as I moved to Louis.
Louis did something I've only seen him do like, once or twice: let out a growl in ...anger. "Glace-eon," he said, defensively. I petted him.
Louis' dark turquoise eyes seemed to be burning into my own. "Louis," I began and he jumped into the air, shielding the two young ones. Daniel came in.
"What's wrong?" he asked and I shrugged. I just watched as Daniel calmly approached Louis. "Hey. Just because she's little doesn't mean she can't care for one of your kids." I ignored that first part as the Eevee who had been running came and joined us.
"Glace," was all Louis said. Daniel looked at me.
"Vui?" one of the young ones said from behind, cautiously approaching its father.
The one that had been snuggling with Grace even seemed piqued as to what was going on, because it uncurled from its position. "Louis, look at me," Daniel said and Louis did so. "Rebekah, Darian, Ira and Amber are good with you and Grace. They know how to be careful." Daniel gave a small smirk. "If anything, you should be a bit more observant with your sons. Your daughters can't be with you forever," he said. The first part seemed like a joke and the last part was serious.
I looked at Louis as he just sauntered closer to Daniel and placed a paw on his tummy. Daniel nodded and I took that as a cue. I was about to approach one of the little ones, but the one that had come from hiding walked in between its parents.
"Vui," it said and I petted it. I looked at Eevee's purple eyes as the light shone on them. Eevee flinched at the brightness before staring at me again.
I felt around in my pocket. It's really neat, being able to make Poké Balls by hand. Well, we picked the Apricorns for Mr. Kurt with Maizie. Maizie has a Slowpoke and a Teddiursa. I look at the shrunken ball as Eevee wagged its tail. I pocketed the ball before stretching my arms out. Eevee got the message and jumped into my arms. Grace was content and Louis just watched as Daniel walked out first. **
I focused to get up and come out of the room. "Oh, how interesting," grandma said and I looked at her. Mom also had a smile on her face.
"You got one of their daughters. What's her name?" Mom said.
I looked at the Eevee. A girl. She and Spark would get along; I hope, anyway. "Gem," I said more to Eevee than anyone. "Do you like that?"
"Vui!" was the response I got as I gently placed her on the carpet. I took the ball back out of my pocket once more.
I didn't enlarge it yet as grandpa explained to my older siblings where I got the ball from. "When we came here to help your parents in raising you, I met Kurt one day. His son had his own daughter. We became fast friends. Not too long ago, I took the kids to meet Kurt's family. Like that," he said, snapping his fingers, "they became friends with Maizie, his sole granddaughter. Your mother would take them to Azalea Town. Rebekah and Darian were recently granted permission to help in the Poké Ball making process."
Darian grinned at me. "It's fun, but Mr. Kurt only lets us do so much. Bekah and I got our own Poké Balls about a week ago and we showed mom and dad!"
I enlarged the Fast Ball. "Ready?" I asked Gem. Gem simply ran to the ball and tapped the button with her paw before being captured. The ball fell to the floor as it wobbled a few times. The ball then made a -ping-, signifying my first catch. I picked the ball up. ***
"Good job, Bekah," Emma said and I smiled, letting Gem back out. We'd get along, I just had a feeling.
(Five years later. Shalour City) ****
Darian, Aimee and I were at the Pokémon Center eating breakfast. "So," Aimee said in between bites. "The gym leader here knows a good deal about mega evolution. His name is Gurkinn."
We nodded. "I think something interesting is gonna happen while we're here in Shalour," I said.
Once we finished, we returned our Pokémon (well, minus Pikachu for Darian) and headed to the gym. "Hey!" Aimee called and we stopped. She folded her arms. "Don't you remember? He left the message with Nurse Joy. He wants us to meet him at the Tower of Mastery. At least the path seems straight forward. We have to go northeast."
So, we started walking and on my belt, I could feel one of my balls pulsing with energy. "What the?" I murmured before I noticed a blue light materializing, revealing Gem.
"Vui-ee," Gem cried loudly, making sure she had my attention. She attracted Darian and Aimee's as well. I sighed.
Darian crossed his arms and Aimee nudged him. "What? You've got my full attention," I said to my second oldest Pokémon.
'Off,' was all she said through our link and it took a bit. The Everstone! I knelt on one knee in front of Gem and reached my hand on her back until I found the string of the rope. I made my fingers stay there and with my left hand, I gently yanked the stone off from her. Nothing happened right away. *****
I just held the stone. "So, what's Gem going to evolve into? Keep in mind if she knows a Fairy-type move then you'll have a Sylveon on your hands," Darian said. I ignored my brother and stroked Gem's fur.
"No. I think it was in the timing," I said as I locked eyes with her. Then, she glowed a white light. I smirked at Darian. "Does that look like a Sylveon to you?"
He huffed and I went for my Pokédex. "Espeon, the Sun Pokémon. Espeon can instantaneously sense its opponent's movements by feeling air currents with its fine fur. This Espeon," and I turned the sound off as I watched her ability and new moves pop on screen.
'One problem with your Pokédex, Bekah. I'm a she, not an it, remember?' Gem said and I watched her lick her paw before putting the stone back in my bag and pocketing my Pokédex. I noticed her flick her tail slightly.
'Yeah. I've known you since I was 5. It'd be a bad thing if I didn't know what gender you are, smart-alec,' I teased.
She looked at me. 'I might be one, but what does that make you?' she replied and I almost returned her, but I decided to let her walk by me instead. I shook my head and I noticed Darian's smirk.
"Man, were mom and dad right. Pokémon do take after their trainers," he said and I watched Gem shake her head before mewling. I resisted my own smirk and waited to see if Aimee would see anything.
She looked in between Darian and I. "I know we don't hit a Psychic type gym leader until Anistar City, but I can't think of what type Gurkinn specializes in off the top of my head," she said more to me than Darian. "and maybe we'll have another evolution soon. C'mon!"
Darian and I exchanged glances before going to catch up to her. What she meant was at the back of my mind. Right now, our goal was getting to the Tower of Mastery. I looked at Gem running by my side.
...feels good to be back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I made a promise, but it's not the end yet. Well, you know what I mean. Rundown!
(*) Rebekah comes to this conclusion because she's noticed how her dad would act when Emma would bring a boy home with her.
(**) O-kay. Maizie is like 4-6 in the anime and 6 or 7 in the Pokéspe manga. I put her at 5 because it's my canon and I have the rights to do so. Part two of this: the Slowpoke may live with Maizie, but that doesn't mean she won't use it as a trainer in the future. Also, the same can be said with the Teddiursa she obtains in Adventures. Kurt is one of my favorite characters. Huh. Guess I better add him to that section of my profile, then.
(***) I am …91% sure that I did this in Pokémon Gold, but I can't guarantee it. Sorry y'all. I just can guarantee that I did it and I didn't think it would work, but it did, so I decided to go all nostalgic.
(****) It's a little over 5 years, but it's not six yet.
(*****) The string was strong enough to support Rebekah's portion of the Everstone. I'd have to say it's the size of a [distorted] golf ball. …plus over a five-year period, the string would have to wear thin at some point, so I just applied it here.
End A/N: April update madness is here. By that, I mean that I am going to try and have this series finished sooner rather than later, but I'm not promising anything. I'll probably be doing more revisions, but "Why Should I?" is next on the 'receive a new chapter' list.
…I just had to refocus my train of thought there. I normally don't talk about these, but I thought I would because I can. I have to write out the formats for the OC submission forms for the betrayal fic. Rebekah's a bit sardonic/sarcastic, isn't she? Lemme know your thoughts on her and more in the comments below. Back to my original pen name.
*snaps fingers* Oh yeah! I almost forgot about something. I'll be revising, like I said. While the poll I've got (no, it's not the one I currently have on there) will go on my profile and will stay in the polls list for the rest of this month, I can't guarantee that it will stay on for the end of the year. So, because of that, if I post something else today (yeah, it's a little past midnight, but I don't have school tomorrow, thankfully) …even if it's a revision/rewrite, I'm going to change the poll on my profile. While it sounds unfair (and yes, I can see why you might think that), the other polls on that list won't be coming down for a long time. I know that I closed the poll on what to do with the dexholders for the rewrite of "They've Gone Too Far" (thanks to all of you who voted in that) and I'll post those results in chapter six.
You know the drill.
