Aiden had never been so excited in his life. Not since he received his first Pokemon from his parents a few month back. Life couldn't be more thrilling for him. He certainly didn't regret saving up all of his birthday and Christmas money just to buy a plane ticket and come to Kalos. He is, after all, new to the entire region. He had long parted ways from his cousin and was now on his own.
Santalune Forest is probably one of the most nicest forests he's been to. He's already run into some new and interesting Pokemon. Even some who were from the Unova region! He'd also ran into a few trainers who asked for a quick battle. His first battle hadn't gone so well. He was just surprised he managed to make it out alive. Luckily for his Pokemon, he was stocked up on Potions and new how to use them. By the time it was dusk he had already settled down to camp for the night. He found himself a nice spot in a clearing away from the trees as to prevent any forest fires.
"It sure is lonely out here." Aiden said as he picked the fire a bit with a stick. "It's no wonder nobody lives out here. But then again, who would? Places like these don't deserve to be destroyed."
"Chic. Chic..." Torchic agreed tiredly. Froakie was leaning against Torchic's side. Asleep.
"I guess we better turn in for the night, huh? We have a big day tomorrow after all." Aiden laughed softly as he stroked underneath the little bird's beak. Torchic purred happily. Ruffling his red feathers slightly. The chick suddenly snapped his head up, accidentally waking Froakie up.
"Froak?" the blue Pokemon said tiredly. But that was soon replaced replaced with a look of high alert as his instincts kicked into overdrive.
"What's wrong?" Aiden asked.
Rustling was heard. Aiden froze. Both of his Pokemon stood in defensive positions to protect their Trainer. Aiden bit his bottom lip lightly. Nervousness struck him like a bomb. What kind of Pokemon was it? Is it one that is likely to pose a threat to him and his Pokemon? There have been reports of wild Pokemon attacks on humand. But there's never been reports of a fatality...
A pair of silvery pointy ear suddenly poked up from within the brush. Aiden felt every muscle in his body tense. His Pokemon started growling at the brush. The ears swiftly disappeared before an entire head replaced it. The Pokemon was a silver color with a pair of big black eyes and a little black nose. The Pokemon herself cocked her head sideways curiously as she stared at Aiden and his Pokemon. Aiden breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. It was an Eevee. But there was something unusual about this one. Whenever a breeze brushed against the silver fur of this Eevee, blue glitter-like sparkles wete seen. This was no ordinary Eevee. This was a shiny Eevee!
"Hey, there, girl." Aiden said softly as he slowly leaned forward. Eevees were known to be incredibly shy towards humans. Which is why they are so rarely seen. Let alone a shiny Eevee. "Don't worry. I won't hurt you." he added, slowly reaching his hand out for the Pokemon to sniff. The shiny slowly emerged from the brush. Her sliver fur covered in bits and pieces of twigs and leaves. Aiden felt the wet noise brush against the tips of his fingers as she sniffed him.
"Vee!" the Eevee cried happily.
Aiden laughed softly. With caution, he gently stroked the Pokemon in between her ears. The shiny purred happily before nuzzling back. "You're a nice girl, aren't you?" Aiden said. "If you're this close to humans, then you must be someone else's. Are you lost?"
"Mica!" a femme voice suddenly cried.
The shiny's ears suddenly perked up and she looked back towards the direction she came from. There was another rustling sound and both Torchic and Froakie were back on their guard. A silhouette of a slender figure appeared from the forest. Once the light of the fire, the figure appeared to be that of s fifteen year-old girl. She had fair skin with blue hair that was tied into a ponytail with bangs and her eyes being a flashy blue color. She wore a White High-Waisted Outfit with Aqua Mary Jane shoes. In her hands was a Aqua Ribbon Purse.
"Vee!" the Eevee cried happily.
"Mica!" the girl cried before she dropped her purse and embraced her Pokemon.
"Is she yours?" Aiden asked as he got to his feet.
"Mm hm." the girl replied, "We were looking for a Pokemon of mine when we suddenly got separated. I was so worried that I started to panic a bit. Thank Arceus she is alright, though. Anyway, I'm Vivienne. But my friends call me Viv for short."
"I'm Aiden." Aiden said, "And these are my partners Torchic and Froakie."
"Torchic!" Torchic chirped.
"Froak!" Froakie croaked.
Vivienne giggled. "You're Pokemon are adorable. I'm pretty sure you guys already met my partner Mica."
"Eevee!" Mica yipped.
"So what's this Pokemon you're looking for?" Aiden asked.
"My Vulpix." Vivienne replied, "Her name is Miyu. She's a little adventurous, you can. But sometimes she tends to get a little too adventurous, and often tends to wander away from the group. Which is why Mica and I are looking for her now. But it's gotten dark and now I'm really worried for her."
"Huh." Aiden blinked and thought for a bit before smiling at the Trainer. "It's settled, then. We'll help you find her!" he said. All three Pokemon looked at him with confused expressions. Vivienne, however, only blinked.
"You mean you'll really help?" The young Trainer smiled gratefully, "I don't know how to repay you for your kindness."
"There's no need for you to worry your pretty little head about that. As long as your Pokemon is found safe and sound, that's a good enough reward for me." Aiden said.
...
"Miyu!" Torchic cried out.
"Miyu! Where are you!?" Froakie called from the trees.
"Come out, Miyu! This isn't funny!" Mica said after looking in a shallow den.
"It's hopeless..." Froakie sighed after hopping down a tree and landing beside Torchic, "We'll never find her. Especially at night."
"But we can't give up now!" Mica protested, "Miyu is like a sister to me! We have to find her before something awful happens to her!"
"But where can we find her?" Torchic said, "This forest is too darn big for us. She could be anywhere!"
The trio fell silent as they all, in unison, lowered their heads in thought. Finally, Froakie looked up and snapped his fingers. "I got it!" he announced, "Mica, where do you usually find Miyu at?"
Mica thought about the question for a bit. "My Trainer Viv and I often find her at-or near-some kind of water source. Like a lake or fountain. But she's not even suppose to be near them because she's a Fire type."
"So we should try to find a water source then." Torchic said, "But where do we even begin?"
"I can hop up a tree and scan from above." Froakie suggested.
"You do that." Torchic said. Froakie nodded before he speedily hopped up a nearby tree. Torchic lowered his head and sighed. "I wonder if our Trainers are having much luck." he muttered thoughtfully to himself.
...
"So...what brings you to Kalos?" Vivienne asked.
"My cousin's the champion." Aiden replied, "I decided to come here and compete in the Kalos League so I can challenge him myself."
"Isn't he the one who saved Kalos two years back?"
"Yep. And what an achievement that must've been." Aiden chuckled, "So what about you? Are you on a journey as well?"
"Mmm." Vivienne thought for a bit. "Something like that. You see I'm actually from Johto."
"Cool. I've been to Johto before. It's really nice there 'n all. Those Kimono Girls are really good dancers."
There was rustling from above and Froakie suddenly landed in front of them. "Froakie!" Aiden said before crouching down in front of him, "Any luck yet?"
"Froakie, froakie..." Froakie shook his head sadly. Both Trainers sighed in unison.
"You don't have to help you know." Vivienne said gently.
"No way. When there's a Pokemon involved, I'm gonna help however I can." Aiden said.
"TORCHIC! TORCHIC!"
"What was that?" Vivienne asked.
"That sounded like Torchic!" Aiden said before running in the direction of the cry. Vivienne and Froakie followed closely from behind. They ran through some bushes before coming upon a riverside where both Torchic and Mica both stood. The water was passing by at a speed that could sweep anyone away.
"VUL! VUL!"
"LOOK!" Aiden cried.
Getting pounded against a rock was a Vulpix. The become cried out in pain and terror as she desperately tired to cling on for dear life. Vivienne gasped in horror.
"MIYU!" she screamed.
"Froakie you gotta get in there and help her!" Aiden yelled.
Froakie nodded before jumping into the raging currents. Because of this it gave Froakie enough boost to swim faster. Soon he was beside the frightened Vulpix.
"Are you Miyu!?" he yelled over the rapids.
"YES!" Miyu cried, "Are you here to save me!?"
"Yeah! I need you to grab on to me so that I can swim us to shore!"
"Are you sure!?" Miyu asked hesitantly.
"Trust me on this!" Froakie yelled.
Miyu blinked hesitantly before nodding firmly. Carefully, she released her paws from the rock and carefully clung onto Froakie. Because of the bubbles around him, she was able to stick on. "Hold on tight!" Froakie yelled before kicking forward. Miyu whimpered as the water pounded against her face. She was beginning to regret coming to this river. "LOOK OUT!" she screamed. Froakie looked up just as a giant wave hit them, bringing them under.
"FROAKIE!" Aiden cried.
"MIYU!" Vivienne screamed. Swiftly, she brought out a third Poke Ball and threw it up. "Tatsu! I need you!" she cried. The capsule opened to reveal a male Totodile. The blue lizard jumped happily before turning to his Trainer. "Tatsu! You have to go into the water and save Miyu and this boy's Froakie!" Tatsu nodded before diving into the water.
Aiden, Vivienne, Torchic and Mica all watched held their breaths as they watched the river carefully for anything that would rise up to the surface.
Please... Aiden thought, gritting his teeth anxiously.
SPLASH!
Tatsu returned to the surface with Froakie and Miyu holding onto the spines on his back.
"FROAKIE!" Aiden cried joyfully.
"OH! THANK ARCEUS!" Vivienne wailed in joy as she embraced all three Pokemon. Even though Froakie wasn't hers. After letting them go, Torchic and Mica ran over and nuzzled them happily.
"Maybe now she'll learn not to wander away from you." Aiden chuckled.
