Hi-Hi, Kitty here. Chapter 8 already, whoa...okay, this chapter is the first of 3 linked ones based on anime events. You could probably guess, but there'll be a little surprise tucked away with one of them :)
''Okay, I think I know where we are now!'' said Ash, for like the fifth time that day. It was evident that they were just end up in another sticky situation, no doubt. Misty sighed as she looked at her girlfriend, knowing that the ginger haired girl was getting quite annoyed with her sister's antics.
Brock nodded at the girls in agreement, before walking up to Ash. ''Ash, let me take in from here. I can send Golbat to do the searching.'' His Zubat had recently evolved and it was clear to the former gym leader that the Zubat wished to do something. He picked up the poke ball and sent out the Bat Pokemon. ''Golbat, would you help us find Route 8.''
''Gol!'' Was the distinct reply, as the bat-like Pokemon flew away in search for the distant route. Luchia sighed as she walked next to Misty. ''It's getting hard to coup with Ash...she's very bad with directions and frankly, combined with my still fear of scary Pokemon, it doesn't do good when we arrive in places like that Mankey nest from before we met Cynthia...''
It had only been about a day or so since the incident, but it felt longer and everybody could agree with that due to how absurd the thing was. Especially, involving the Pokemon that knew human speech without telepathy. It was all surreal, and kinda creepy. Misty nodded in agreement, looking up. ''It's definitely something, all these incidents that seem to happen surrounding us. I know that you and Ash are special, being these Aura Guardians, but the amount of incidents that coincidentally end up involving us is weird...''
''That is true...'' muttered Luchia as she gripped tighter to her Eevee, who didn't want to stay in her poke ball for some reason. The Eevee frowned, looking up at her owner. The Eevee smiled gently, putting a paw to her trainer's cheek in a comforting manner. ''Thanks, Eevee.'' Suddenly, a small transparent feeler-like object came from the Eevee's chest hairs, and wrapped around Luchia's arm. ''Wha...'' She gasped, as the Eevee began to glow. ''Eevee?...''
The Eevee hopped out of her arms, but kept the feeler attached. She smiled, as her body glowed brighter and began to grow. Her tail become smaller and more refined then her Eevee tail. Her ears began bigger, attaching a small bow to the left one. Her bushy chest faded away and left behind a bow, which had 4 long feelers attached to it, one of which was still wrapped around Luchia's wrist. The light then faded to reveal the pink and white creature, as she cried. ''Sylveon. Sylve!''
''My...Sylveon...?'' Was all Luchia could muster, as she was shocked. Her beloved starter had evolved just like that. She began to tear up a little, putting her free hand on the feeler. ''Congrats on evolving, Sylveon...''
''Thanks, mommy! I love you so I evolved to make you happy. Sylveon's are known for their happy nature!'' yelped the Eevee in Luchia's mind, as she smiled gently.
Misty, who was unsure on what she was seeing, smiled gently. ''Your Eevee evolved, you must be proud, Luchia.'' She gently hugged her girlfriend, quickly kissing her cheek so the others didn't see.
''I am, Mist, I truly am.'' said Luchia, with a happy sob choking her throat. Misty continued to hug her girlfriend, smiling. Luchia moved out of Misty's arms, and moved down to hug her Sylveon. ''Thank you, Sylveon...your the best friend a girl could wish for...'' She brought out her Pokedex and quickly checked the Pokemon's newly required data.
Sylveon. The Intertwining Pokemon. It wraps its ribbonlike feelers around the arm of its beloved Trainer and walks with him or her. As this Sylveon evolved, it learnt the moves Fairy Wind, Draining Kiss, Attract and Dazzling Gleam.
''Sylve!'' Was how the Sylveon replied, with a happy smile. She wrapped a second feeler around her trainer's arm, as they decided that they needed to continue moving, before Brock and Ash got annoyed. She made sure to stand the opposite side to Misty, who she had started to class as 'Mama' due to the fact her 'mommy' was in love with her. ''Mama!'' She said sternly to the red-head, who was nervous by the telepathic link that Luchia had set up for the pair of them a while back. ''U better make sure to never make mommy upset, got it?''
Misty, nervously gulped, as she nodded. ''Don't you worry, Sylveon. I love Luchia too much to make her upset, and you know that.'' She gently smiled at the pink Eeveelution. She then looked back up at Luchia, who was blushing. ''Your so cute, Luchia.'' They quickly kissed, much to the starter Pokemon's embarrassment.
''Ha! I knew it.'' said a voice, that was easily noted as Ash's. Luchia blushed, glaring at her sister. The black haired trainer, however, paid no attention to the glare and continued. ''So, sis. You like Misty, who likes you back. Am I correct?''
''If u value your life, you'll shut up.'' said Luchia, in a dark tone that frightened her sister in silence. She then smirked, giggling. ''Works every time. That's how you get your sister to shut up when you want her too.''
Misty giggled, hugging the girl. Luchia blushed, enjoying the hug that her girlfriend was giving. But it was cut short by Brock, who called to the group. ''Everyone. I think I've found a issue.''
They walked over to the rock-type gym leader and looked in her direction. It was evident what the problem was. A giant chasm, about 100 feet above a small ravine in the center of the canyon. Ash nodded. ''I think we should try and find a bridge across...''
Suddenly, a green Pokemon moved out of the bushes. ''Bulba.'' It mouthed, looking at the group. Ash gasped, looking at the Bulbasaur in awe. The Bulbasaur, however, only looked in anger. ''Bulbasaur!''
''Look, it's a Bulbasaur! I really wanted a Bulbasaur, but we were late. Not that I never wanted Pikachu.'' She only added the last part because said Pikachu was literally glaring at her. She didn't seem to care that the Bulbasaur was doing the exact same. She walked up to the grass-type, kneeling down. ''Hey there, Bulbasaur. Would you like to go on a journey with me and my Pokemon?''
The Bulbasaur seemed shocked, unsure as to why the trainer had simply asked if he wanted to come with them. Most trainers just tried to battle him and captured him like that, without any care. He considered the options, but tried to still dispute wanting to go with the young girl. ''How can I be certain that you won't hurt me or abandon me like my last trainer?'' He asked, telepathically. He wasn't sure if the trainer would be able to hear him, but he had to try.
''Don't worry, Bulbasaur. I won't do any of that. Look at me and Pikachu, after all. Pikachu didn't want to trust me at first either, but now he's happy as my Pokemon. And I'm sure you'll be as well.'' Ash grinned, placing a hand gently on the Bulbasaur's scaly head. ''So, do you wanna come along with me and my friends?''
The Bulbasaur stared at the trainer, considering the pros and cons. He sighed, before making his mind up. ''Okay, I'll come with you. But the first error and I'll make your life miserable.'' He then paused. ''But before that, there's something I need to do.''
''Okay, Bulbasaur. Just let me catch you first, then I'll let you out and you can lead us to what you need to do.'' The Bulbasaur nodded, letting himself be caught within instantly. He then called the Seed Pokemon back out. ''Okay, let me just check your data with my Pokedex.'' He got the Pokedex out and check the Pokemon.
Bulbasaur. The Seed Pokemon. A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokemon. This Bulbasaur is male and knows the moves Tackle, Leech Seed, Vine Wipe, Sleep Powder, Poison Powder, Take Down, Razor Life and Solar Beam. It also knows the egg moves Leaf Storm, Giga Drain and Petal Dance.
''Wow, Bulbasaur. You know a lot of amazing moves.'' The Bulbasaur seemed to be quite proud of that, as he then led his new trainer and her friends to a small village in the middle of the forest. Living in the village were creatures like Oddish, Wooper, Paras, Weepinbell, Caterpie and Goomy. Also in the village was a young girl, who was feeding the Pokemon. ''Whoa...this is amazing, Bulbasaur.'' said Ash as they walked closer.
The young girl looked up and saw Bulbasaur, as the Seed Pokemon came closer and jumped into her arms. ''Hey, Bulbasaur. Who are these that you have brought?'' Ash quickly explained the situation, causing the young girl, revealed as Melaine, to looked shocked. ''Bulbasaur, after what you went through, you actually accepted another trainer to look after you.''
''Saur.'' The Pokemon nodded. Melaine smiled and handed the Bulbasaur back to his new trainer.
''I'm happy, when Bulbasaur came here, he asked to protect the smaller Pokemon. I was very concerned about his own state of mind, but I'm glad that your looking after him, Ash. Please continue too.''
''You got it, Melaine.'' said Ash, with a smile. The group then said their goodbyes and left, a new Bulbasaur by their side. But how will this be if this was the first of 3 very faithful meetings?
Meanwhile, with Cynthia. The girl was still walking through the same forest. She finally came across a light, coming from a city. That City being Saffron City. ''Finally, I can get some help for Lucario. Right, Budew, Togepi, Gible.'' She said, looking down at her 3 Pokemon. She had recently caught Budew during her walk, having been surprised by the appearance of a Sinnoh Pokemon in Kanto.
The 3 Pokemon all cried in happiness, knowing that it was time for the oldest of the 4 Pokemon that their trainer had was gonna be saved. Cynthia began to run quicker, keeping a tighter grip around her two baby Pokemon, whilst Gible gripped tighter to her trainer's dress straps. ''Don't you worry, Lucario. Help is coming.''
Okay, I wasn't orignally planning on Sylveon evolving so quickly, but I feel like it fits. Plus, I also believe that her relationship with Misty needed to be fleshed out. How would you feel if your 'mommy' suddenly said that she was dating? Also, yes. Bulbasaur. The surprise will be with Charmander in the next chapter, but no spoilers.
