Right, here is the sixth chapter. Sorry about how long it took to get this one up, but just have not had the time to sit and write. If I did rush to get them out the quality of the story would go down. But for now, enjoy this chapter! In this chapter, the origin of this mystery Eevee gets revealed, and the team get back on the road.
The Legend of Blaze – Chapter Six – Origin Story
I woke up after what felt like a lifetime of sleep and stretched out. I lay back for a second before getting to my feet. I was still on the bed, and Bulb and Eevee were starting to stir. I sat back down and wondered how long we had been out for. Everyone's injuries looked more or less healed, and I felt fine. I walked over to Bulb and shook him a little.
"Wake up, you lazy sod!" I yelled in his ear.
Bulb then made a muffed groan and got up.
"Was there a need?" he asked.
"Well it worked…" was my cocky reply.
Our friendly chat was cut short when Eevee finally came to and decided to join in on the talk.
"Good morning to you too…" the Pokémon groaned.
We both turned to look at our new companion. I could tell from the voice tone that she was a female, and only very young.
"I guess you are wondering what I am doing with you guys." She said. We both nodded.
"Well, when you two were out the back training, John received a phone call from his mother, to tell him that the family pet Flareon had given birth to kits and that they were now ready to leave the nest. I am one of those kits."
Me and Bulb stood in awe.
"So you have come to join John's team?" I asked.
"Yeah. My mom told me about John, he seems like a nice guy."
"He really is, he will look after you well, I promise. I was doubtful at first, but now I realize that not all humans are bad." I told the young Eevee.
"Do you have a name?" Bulb piped up.
"Yeah, I go by Siria." She answered.
"Interesting name. I'm Blaze and this is Bulb." I said.
Now everyone was comfortable with each other we started to make our way to the front of the Pokémon centre. It was early morning, so I reckoned we were out for at least a day. We trotted up to John who was packed and ready to go.
"Right, its time was made our way to Pewter City." And with that, he led the way out of the centre and onto the route ahead. As we walked along the path I enjoyed to the early morning sun, and the scenery around us. It was mostly open land, with a few trees dotted here and there. After a few minutes of walking, I began to become bored. My attention then shifted to Bulb, walking a few feet in front. A evil plan then grew in my mind, and I grinned to myself.
"Bulb! Look out! Beedrill!" I shouted.
He streamed and looked around franticly for a few seconds, and then it hit him. I fell to the ground laughing, and he looked at my and narrowed his eyes. He ran forward and started vine whipping my giggling body.
"Okay, Okay!" I shouted, still laughing.
He then stormed off and walked in front of John.
"Fine, be like that." I thought.
After that we were walking for what seemed like ages. I looked to see if I could spot Pewter in the distance, but nothing was there. The winter had passed now since I had been captured, to the days were getting warmer. Kanto was a fairly hot region, so the winters were not that harsh. Finally, we had decided to stop for some lunch. We took shelter under a tree just off the path. I climbed up the tree and sat on a branch overlooking my fellow teammates. The tree was an apple tree, so leaned out and picked of an apple. As I was tucking in, I looked across the landscape and saw a trainer heading over to us.
"Oh shit, I really don't want another fight." I thought.
Surely enough, the douchebag trainer challenged John to a battle. John rejected the offer, but the trainer kept goading him.
"Oh come on! What's the point in being a trainer if you don't wanna battle!" the douchebag moaned.
"I just don't want to. Now be a kind little boy and piss off." Replied John.
I nearly bust out laughing. I loved John's deadpan comebacks. I didn't laugh because I wanted the element of surprise if he tried anything like that kid back in the forest.
"So, think your funny, do you? You better stop making wise remarks unless you want to taste the pain of my Pokémon!" threatened the trainer.
"Do you even have any Pokémon at all?" asked John.
"That's it! Go!" he yelled in rage as he tossed three poke balls into the air. From them came a Pidgey, Weedle and Squitle.
He commanded them to attack. I fired flames from my perch and took out Weedle before it could start poisoning people. I was not going back to that blasted Pokémon centre. The Pidgey responded with a wing attack that sent me falling out of the tree and onto the ground. Bulb ran over and helped me to my feet.
"Forgiven?" I grinned at him. He nodded back and got back to the fight at hand.
I wanted my revenge on that bird, and looked into the air. It was above Bulb, looking to dive bomb him and take him out of the game. I fired a flamethrower into the air, making it move or get flamed. It took the dodge option, and tuned its attention on me. It flew towards me, hugging the ground. I once again tried to use flamethrower on it, but it swerved to the side and took the opening.
The bird Pokémon smashed into my side, once again sending me tumbling along the ground. I looked up and caught a glimpse of Bulb's side of things. Him and Siria were ganging up on that Squirtle, and it looked like they was not far of from beating it. I then snapped back to my own fight. The Pidgey was in the air once more, looking to dive bomb me again. I realised my tactic was not going to work, so I took a different strategy. As it came in for its second attack, I waited for it to get close. I just stood there as it zoomed right at me. I had to time this right or it was over. Just as it was about to make contact with my face, I brought up a crush claw and sent it spiralling into the air. I wasted no time and followed up with flamethrower, setting its tail feathers alight.
It flapped in the air franticly, before crashing into the nearby tree trunk and then hitting the hard ground. The trainer then returned Pokémon and began to cry.
I looked over to see that Bulb and Siria had won their battle too.
"Now you can piss off" Said John.
The kid ran away, crying.
"Why do we always make people cry?" I asked Bulb.
He laughed a little, and we all sat down to catch our breath.
"Right, lets get moving" said John.
After a few hours walking, Pewter City finally came within view.
"That's Pewter!" cried out an exited Siria.
As we got into the Pokémon centre (that had the same layout as the other one. The only difference was the colour of the sofas, and the fact they had no garden here.), there was some sort of commotion at the seating area. Some guy was shouting at a trainer because of the way he treats his Pokémon or something. As we got closer to the commotion, I realised who it was.
It was my old trainer. The one that had beat me. I panicked and jumped behind john.
"Lets not get involved." Suggested John.
We sat on the benches outside, and I was next to Bulb, shivering.
"What's up?" he asked.
"N-n-nothing" I stammered.
I was distracted by the sound of the Pokémon centre's door opening.
A familiar faced Totodile swaggered up next to the bench.
"Hello, Blaze."
