Here's Chapter 7! Just so everyone knows, I will not be putting Ash's battling in my fanfiction. I will be following the games more than the anime because I know the games much better. That means that Team Rocket will also be nonexistent. Does that sound good to everyone? Also, for all of those wondering why Mishatu is the way she is, a little is revealed here.
Chapter 7
Mishatu, May, Ash, and Brock were on the way to the first town with a gym, which was Rustboro. Mishatu kept fighting Eevet herself, stopping whenever the young Pokémon was on the verge of fainting.
The two of them were sitting on a rock one night. Are you ready to fight Roxanne? Mishatu asked. We'll be there tomorrow.
Yeah, Eevet said, gazing dolefully at the stars. You're a great trainer. Are you sure you want to give this all up after the gyms?
Eevet, Mishatu grinned, we haven't even gone against the first gym leader, and you ask me this?
The Eevee, however, was completely serious. You'll have to give it a thought about it, though. If you'll marry, what kind of breeding center…
Yeah, I know. I'm just not ready yet.
"Mishatu, food's ready!" Brock called.
"Coming," Mishatu returned. She stood up and began walking back to the camp.
Brock is kind of cute, in a way. Maybe you ought to think about him… Eevet suggested.
"Eevet!" Mishatu shouted aloud, she was so shocked by the Eevee's remark. She shook off the shock and ran to the camp.
After Mishatu had sat down and started eating, Eevet padded into the camp, dragging something behind her. It was a small sleeping Seedot.
"Eevet, why do you have a baby Seedot with you?" the teen asked urgently. She spoke human only so the rest of the group could understand.
I heard him crying. He doesn't have any parents. Even if you will not claim him as yours, I'll raise him. Eevet looked defiantly at her trainer.
"You sound as though you planned that," Mishatu remarked dryly. She set her food down and crawled over to the Pokémon. "Of course we'll take care of him. Can you go find some berries so we can feed him in the morning?"
Eevet's ears perked up. She dashed off, but could still be heard muttering.
The teen picked up the sleeping Seedot and cradled him. The acorn Pokémon woke for a moment, looked at the girl, and went back to sleep.
"Brock, can you take care of Seedot during the gym battle tomorrow? He's a little too young to battle yet." As Mishatu said this, she was pulling blankets out of her backpack, making a soft bed for Seedot.
"Well, yeah, but there's this handy training method you can use. It'll give Seedot the needed experience without exposing him to the danger," Brock told her.
"How does that work?" she inquired. The conversation that ensued bored the two younger kids to sleep, but intrigued Mishatu.
"I'll ask them both tomorrow. Thanks, Brock." Mishatu, after Eevet had returned and recalled to her Pokeball, lay her head against the ground and fell asleep.
Mishatu was awoken by a loud wailing. She rubbed her eyes, wishing the sound would stop.
Mishatu, come on! Seedot's hungry and I don't have opposable thumbs to feed him, Eevet nudged her owner.
The girl sat up. "I completely forgot!" She grabbed a berry from the pile that Eevet had collected the night before. Transforming her hand into that of a Sneasel, she sliced the berry into small pieces and began feeding them to the Pokémon, oblivious to the fact that her companions were awake.
Full, the Seedot burped and watched Mishatu.
Good morning. How are you? Do you—Mishatu was cut off by the small Pokémon's wailing. Eevet…
Gotcha. The brown Pokémon padded over to Seedot. He immediately stopped crying. That's better. You know how nice I am. Do you want to live with my trainer, who's even nicer?
Seedot hiccupped. Is she human talks us? Eevet nodded. Yes.
Now that that's settled, Brock told me about a new training method. Seedot, I'd send you out first, then recall you before you get hit. Eevet, that would leave you open to attack. Are you cool with that? Mishatu looked from Eevet to Seedot and back. The baby Pokémon nodded.
I can take the attack of twenty rock Pokémon. Of course I can handle one, Eevet boasted.
Mishatu smiled. Of course you can.
"Mishatu, come on! We'll leave without you!" Ash called. While she had been conversing with her Pokémon, the rest of the group had packed up.
"Okay!" she told her human companions. Eevet, on my shoulders. I'll carry Seedot. The Eevee complied, assuming her favorite position. The teen picked up Seedot and ran to her friends.
"Brock, they like the method. We'll execute it today," Mishatu remarked.
"Hey, Mishatu, I was wondering. How do you change into Pokémon? I've never met anyone like you," May asked, walking backwards in front of the group.
"I don't really know. I was just born able to," Mishatu's expression soured. "And then I was kicked out when I was eight."
"So you were alone from eight on?" May exclaimed.
"No, no. I was alone for a bit, and then I started working at the Pokémon Centers," Mishatu explained.
Large baby blue eyes were watching the teen. They vanished when the girl looked in their general vicinity.
Silence lay on the group for a bit, until Ash shouted, "Rustboro!" Laughing, everyone surged forward.
Mishatu was running as best as she could, what with Seedot in her arms and Eevet on her shoulders. She tripped over a bump in the road, accidently flinging her baby Pokémon into the air.
"Seedot!" the teen cried.
The small Pokémon flew through the air and landed in Brock's arms. "Got him," he announced.
Eevet had jumped off of Mishatu when she sensed the girl's change in balance. Now the Pokémon walked over to her trainer, paws padding on the pavement.
"Crap," Mishatu muttered. She could hear laughing. Yet, it wasn't quite a human laugh. She sat up quickly and used her psychic powers to bring the laugher out.
There was no struggle against her power. Out of the bushes came a pink cat-like Pokémon. Its large eyes were closed, its body seized up in laughter. "Mew… Why?" Mishatu asked quietly.
I created you all, but you are my favorite. The one just like me, with access to all DNA. Your DNA was already fantastic, I just had to change something here and there… Mew's chatter trailed off.
"But Mew, why her?" Brock asked. Mishatu stared at him in shock. Apparently Mew was translating so humans could understand. "Why bother to make anyone so unique?"
Mew opened its eyes, then winked at Mishatu. I'll tell you in a few years, when it's necessary. The cat Pokémon disappeared.
"Does that answer your question, May?" Mishatu stood up and brushed herself off.
Okay, guys. If I don't get ten reviews, I won't update with the next chapter. I'll keep writing because I love this story, but if I don't get reviews, I assume that you don't like it. The next possible update will be April 10th, because I'm going on Spring Break. Next chapter has a little bit of fluff, but it's not bad. I'm seriously enjoying writing it.
