Hey People, I change my mind I am going to do a bit of a twofold mission here for a couple of chapters until like chapter 5 or 6. I am going to do a chapter of this, then Rio then this again until that mark so I can build up this story a bit so I don't bore anyone, but by that time Destiny of life on Rio should nearly be finished then. Anyway let's begin the chapter
Chapter 3: Developments
The meeting of the Alpha's in the Eeveelution kingdom was a couple of days away to decide on the happenings of the south part of the continent. Most tribe Alpha's wold be there except the ones that weren't concerned like the Vaporeon for example. But it was enough to get the young Prince Asra excited to visit a land he hasn't seen before. But right now he was at a cafe with his friends having a feast on a soup distilled by apples and many berries.
The Owner and Chef of the cafe was by the name Celey. She was a middle aged Espeon who was famous through the tribe for making the best soups to offer. Asra was patiently waiting for his to be prepared while his friends Tiago a male Espeon, Cheryl a female and Mace another male Espeon with normal colouring were all digging in. They were loving up theirs and Mace was sipping very quickly he was making a bit of a mess.
Asra was a giving him an awkward look and said to him "Seriously Mace can you ever drink or eat calm for once". The normal coloured Espeon looked towards Asra with soup all over his mouth "No way, I love Celey's cooking, I am not stopping for anything". Asra rolled his eyes at this and Tiago quickly said "You got that right Asra, I am amazed his isn't looking like a giant yet".
Mace looked and glared at Tiago while he and Cheryl both made a laugh while Asra was simply smiling "He has got a point Mace, you do love to eat and drink a lot". Mace lifted his head again and said to Asra "So what if I do". He returned to his soup and suddenly Asra's wait was over as Celey arrived with the soup on a tray which was strapped to her side. She used her mouth and lifted it onto the table in front of Asra "There you are my Prince, I have added some special ingredients specially made for you, let me know what you think your majesty".
Asra kindly said to her "Thanks Celey, no need for the formalities just call me Asra". Celey nodded to him saying "I wish to use formalities my Prince". Asra couldn't force her and looked to the soup and took a small sip of it. He then had an intake of a felling which was great. He quickly said "Wow, that is amazing, Celey, once again I am greatly impressed".
Celey made a small bow with her head "Your welcome, your highness, enjoy the meal". Asra nodded and Celey left to attend to another attendant of the small café. Asra happily begun drinking calmly of his soup. Cheryl happily said "Well someone is loving their soup". Asra nodded to her "Yep, I am. It is delicious". Cheryl smiled happy her friend was enjoying himself and returned to finishing off her soup of the mixed fruit and berries.
Tiago who was Asra's best friend said to him "So Asra, someone likes to use formalities with you". Asra shook his head and leaned up "I don't understand why, I don't mind people just calling me Asra, I don't see the need for formalities". Mace was quick to speak next "Well you are an heir to the people of the Espeon tribe and they respect you that might be reason enough". Asra shook his head not concerned and Cheryl said next "We do think you would be a way better king then Cortez would be". Asra looked and smiled towards his friend's loyalty towards him but said "I don't think Cortez would be a good king but how do you know I would be a great one".
Tiago was quick to lift his head and defend his friend "Now Asra, your kind, your caring towards your people, willing to help people, and you are a strong Espeon too, good qualities of a king". Asra felt touched by that comment "Maybe but I don't even have a girlfriend or anyone to rule beside me if I did become king one day". Cheryl kindly said to him "You just haven't met the right person for you yet, that is all".
Mace having finished most of his soup said "Hey maybe Katy might be an option". Hearing that name was enough to scare Asra, Katy who stalks Asra half the time frightens him "Don't even go there Mace". Asra returned to finishing off his soup and after a couple of minutes had an empty bowl in front of him. He was satisfied and said "This place never disappoints me".
Mace decided to mess with him again "I'm sure Katy won't disappoint you". Asra's ears immediately shot down in fright saying "Mace please pack it in". Tiago then cut in "Alright Mace, you're going to give the poor prince a heart attack in a minute". Mace smirked and calmed down as Tiago stepped forward to the worried Espeon "Asra let's take a walk". Asra nodded to him and said "Yeah I need to get outside. See you two later". Cheryl and Mace bid goodbye and he walked outside with Tiago and they began walking down the street.
Tiago looked to Asra who had recovered from the fright of thinking of Katy. "Now Asra, don't you think you are overdoing it a bit with Katy". Asra looked to him saying "Maybe a little, but she does creep me out, every time I leave the Alpha home, I just prey I don't run into her, but the fact she is best friends with my sister doesn't help when she is invited into the house by Pearl".
Tiago was a little interested as Asra continued "And to make matters worse, my parents think she and I would make a cute couple, I think I would be a little sick as she is a stalker". Tiago feeling down for Asra said "I know it may seem bad, but keep thinking up, if you do meet someone and you fall for them, then she can keep Katy away and you love someone, that's a win-win situation in my book".
Asra couldn't help but chuckle at comment Tiago made there "You do know how to turn many things positive don't you". Tiago then happily said "I do have that effect". They looked to see it was coming to afternoon and Asra said "Hey Tiago I am going to head off now for a walk, I need some time to myself". They stopped in one of the main streets and Tiago nodded "Of course, I just wanted to make sure you heard all that. I will see you later". Tiago turned away and proceeded to return to the others and the bright blue eyed coloured Espeon said "Okay Tiago see you later".
Asra then turned to the street again and went to walk down it again. He looked to see the people of the Espeon clan living happily. Business was going great as he was in the market place. Some of the Espeon did notice him as his special blue eye colouring was completely unique which other Espeon didn't have. So he was easy to notice but only the Espeon that knew him on a personal basis could notice him immediately.
He made it to the edge of the town where the pathways to the villages and other areas were present. He thought to himself "I may as well go and enjoy myself while I still have plenty of day ahead of me. I think I will go to my favourite place". The bright eyed Espeon begun to walk out of the city while he was not noticed by the Espeon due to not completely knowing it was him.
Meanwhile…At the Edge of Umbreon territory…
The Shiny Umbreon Carly was heading in the forest spending time with her best friend: Grace who was a female normal coloured Umbreon. They were outside of the main city and close to the edge of Umbreon territory as they were taking a walk together. Carly stood ahead as Grace was a little worried "Carly are you sure it is safe for us to be in this forest". Carly smiled saying "Absolutely, I have been here hundreds of times, no danger here and it is beautiful to watch all of the Pokémon in this forest live".
Grace feeling a little more secure after that encouragement said "Ok if you insist". Grace took up side alongside Carly and they walked deeper into the forest. They made it to the side of a small clearing in the forest. "Now Grace lets rest here for a moment". The pair sat themselves down next to the bushes and they then laid down and Grace said "Ok so what are we doing here".
Carly happily smiled to her saying "this place is a great place to be, all of the Pokémon here living peacefully, there look". Grace looked to see two young Pidgey in a nest on a tree. They then saw a Pidgeotto land next to them who begun nuzzling them. Grace couldn't help but be amazed by how intriguing and amazing nature can be. Grace was inspired by all this she excitedly said "Wow this is all amazing, how did you find this place". Carly made one simple answer "I explored around and found it".
They now saw some Butterfree flying by and exhibiting beautiful colours into the air around the area which gave off a soothing aroma. Carly took a big sigh saying "You know I always spend hours here". They were beginning to become heavily relaxed but they suddenly after a while they heard a shift in the air. Carly raised her head as she could sense something. She nudged Grace who falling asleep.
"Grace wake up". Grace didn't completely fall asleep and quickly opened her eyes "What is it Carly". Carly stood up and looked around to see there wasn't much of the Pokémon in the vicinity as if they were vanishing. Grace sat up and looked as well but nothing was seen. But Carly did feel it was a little darker around.
Suddenly they saw to the right a shadow begin to emerge from the bushes. It looked bigger than the pair of them. It came out of the shadows to be revealed as a large Toxicroak. It stepped forward with a Caterpie trapped in its arm. It walked into the opening and saw threw the Caterpie on the ground "Now tell me where your friends, or it is chow time for me". The Caterpie was frightened and refused to answer.
The Toxicroak was amused by this and stepped towards "You amuse me with your bravery, but it is futile". The Toxicroak prepared to attack the Caterpie. Carly and Grace were still unnoticed but Grace was full of terror as Toxicroak were know tough combatants especially to Umbreon. But any Umbreon knowing the move Psychic would have little difficulty in wording them off but Umbreon only gain the ability to learn it at an adult age and Carly and Grace were only teenagers while close to Adult hood.
Grace took a step back out of fright but stepped on a twig which was loud. This caught the attention of the Toxicroak which noticed the Shiny and Normal coloured Umbreon's. The Pokémon smiled towards this "Ohhhhh, a big meal today". Toxicroak turned away from the Caterpie and begun to approach the two dark Pokémon. Carly quickly shouted "RUN QUICKLY". Both Umbreon quickly turned tail and begun to run away from the Toxicroak who simply smiled "Where are you two running off to, I am hungry".
The Umbreon were running through the bushes attempting to escape the forest "I thought you said this forest was safe Carly". Carly was quick to shout as they ran "It always has been every time I came, I have never seen a Toxicroak here before". They continued to run until they were on a straight path. They looked back to see the Pokémon was not chasing them and thought they had lost him.
Suddenly though the same Toxicroak came in front of them and had his claw powered up in brick break which slashed into Carly's side hurting her badly as she fell forward "CARLY". Grace had shouted out of worry for her friend. "I have dinner to bring in today". Carly felt extremely hurt by this and stood up but felt a strain as the Toxicroak turned to Grace who stood in fright. "
The Toxicroak approached her saying "My you are a young one aren't you, I wonder how long your parents will be searching for you". Grace was in terror but suddenly a shadow ball came hitting the Toxicroak in the back making the Pokémon trip over. Carly jumped over and stood beside Grace "Run, go get help, I will distract him". Grace said "I am not leaving you Carly".
Carly glared to her "You have to, got get help from the others in the nearby village, we both can't take him alone, and I can distract him while you get help". Grace was torn as she saw the Toxicroak begin to stand up and face them "Now that was rude, my dinner shouldn't strain themselves like that". Carly then shouted "GO NOW". Carly then said "Come after me, you slimy frog".
The Pokémon became annoyed over the comment "You get back here now, food shouldn't talk". The Toxicroak begun running after the Adolesont Umbreon while Grace had no choice but to run for the nearby village for help. Carly was running away from the Toxicroak but the attack she suffered on her side had hurt her well which prevented her from running her quickest. Suddenly she looked back to see a second Toxicroak had joined the hunt "Nice of you to join us, I swear when we catch this dinner, we will be feasting tonight". Carly felt worried as one Toxicroak was bad enough but now two. She saw her chances getting smaller.
Meanwhile close by on the edge of Espeon territory…
Prince Asra had walked away from the town and was coming to the edge of Espeon territory. He looked back wondering "I know I come here often, but should I be moving out of Espeon territory like this". He looked ahead thinking "But then again, the world is a vast place of mysteriousness. I can't help it". The Adolescent Espeon thought about it and then happily smiled and walked on outside of the Espeon territory. "Though I am sure mom would kill me if she knew I sneak off like this".
Asra walked on for a few minutes until he came across a big lake which Espeon happily smiled to and said "Always the same. Very relaxing". He went and sat down next to the side of the lake. He smiled happily seeing the sparkling water in the water of the lake, showing off a lot of beauty.
The bright blue eyed Espeon said to himself "This place is always great to relieve stress or just to take your mind off things, it is almost difficult to resist sleeping here". He lied down and spent the next while relaxing happily here. But all of a sudden he could hear movement. He looked up to the forest very close by. He stood up and watched very closely as he heard the movement.
Suddenly he saw a creature spring out of the bushes but what he saw was a shock. He saw a shiny Umbreon running away. He was shocked "An Umbreon, I thought there territory was a while away. He noticed that the Umbreon was limping slightly making him assume the Umbreon was hurt. Suddenly he saw two Toxicroak leap out behind one with both his claws lit up into the form of an x-scissor readying to strike. He leapt forward and struck into the Umbreon through the side making her yelp in pain from the super effective attack.
She fell down onto her chest and was in pain. She panted heavily. The Espeon was shocked by the turn of events. He wasn't sure of how to react as the two Toxicroak circled the hurt Umbreon and one said "Alright it is chow time". Asra now understanding what was going on thought of how to react. While he was aware the Umbreon was considered an enemy despite the peace, he simply couldn't leave the Umbreon to death.
Carly looked up and was in fright as her vision blurred slightly as the two Toxicroak readied to finish her off. Her situation looked bleak. She saw one Toxicroak power up another brick breath and prepare to attack "Nighty-night little Umbreon". Carly fearfully braced herself for what was sure to be the end and closed her eyes. She waited for the pain to come but… nothing happened.
She suddenly heard a short explosion and a gust of wind go over her. She opened her eyes to see the Toxicroak wasn't there but had been hit into his friend. She saw the two stand up and look towards her "Hey what's the big idea". She realised they were not talking about her, she got hopeful thinking help had arrived in the nick of time.
She tilted her head in hope but what she saw next was a shock. Instead of Umbreon as she was expecting, she saw an Espeon while slightly different coloured facing the two Toxicroak "An Espeon, but what is it doing here, why is it helping me?" She watched as the Espeon jumped over her and faced the two Toxicroak. One got cold feet saying "Dude, let's get out of here".
The other however didn't agree "What are you talking about, this is two on one we can take the Espeon, more lunch". The other Toxicroak said "But we are weak against Espeon". The stronger Toxicroak brushed of its friends warning "X-scissor will wrap this up". The Toxicroak powered up its claws and lunged for Asra.
He simply had his eyes glow and suddenly the Pokémon was stopped in its tracks as Blue energy was overwhelming him. He couldn't move as the Espeon lifted him up and smashed him down beside his friend. The other toxic croak attempted to move forward to but he got hit by a shadow ball fired by Asra and he was knocked down too.
The two stood back up in a moment with Carly being impressed with the Espeon's fighting abilities but was still shocked it was protecting her". The Toxicroak glared towards the Espeon and one said "We won't lose to you". They both charged towards him. The Espeon suddenly had his eyes go complete bright and energy begun to spark around his fur. Before the two could reach him. He suddenly tensed and leaned forward with a shockwave of energy hitting them both and doing massive damage and then causing a small explosion for them both.
They fell back hurt and they saw the Espeon was powerful. They stood up and both shouted "Run away". They both begun legging it away from the two Eeveelution Pokémon. Asra sighed and took a deep breath thinking "That last attack sure takes the energy out of you". Carly who was still lying on the floor hurt was having her vision go blurry as her head went pondering many questions about what just happened. A supposed enemy of Umbreon just saved her from death.
Unfortunately she was losing consciousness and the last thing she saw was the Male Espeon turning towards her before it went dark and she went out. Asra stood over the now unconscious Umbreon and was thinking "What do I do now". He looked around to see no one was in sight. He looked down at the shiny Umbreon thinking "I have never seen an Umbreon coloured like this before, all the others I have seen have orange wings, while I haven't seen many…Then again this could be similar like my eyes".
He shook his head saying to himself "This is not time to stand here". He hesitantly leaned down toward the Umbreon. He lifted the Umbreon where most of her was on his back. He looked around saying "I need to find somewhere safe for her". He began walking off slowly with the unconscious Umbreon in tow looking for a completely safe place.
