A New path to the top.

Chapter two: Enter Lucy Rose

*Where am I?* Dan thought *The last thing I remember was a flash then voices* that's when Dan opened his eyes and he saw that he was in a lab on a table, but when he tried to stand up he fell right back down then he saw his hands they had become… paws.

"paws, paws I have paws how is this possible" said Dan but all that came out was "eev vee eevee eev" at that point a man in his mid-30s with black hair wearing a white lab coat over a black t-shirt and black jeans entered the room it was Professor Cloud.

"Ah so your awake, I'm glad Eevee you don't know how worried I was when I found you in the forest, so can you stand?" Professor Cloud said.

Dan tried to stand again then nearly fell when he felt a hand on his chest, when he looked up he saw the professor holding him up.

"Come on you can do it Eevee" he said and with that Dan tried with all he had and stood up "see I knew you could do it" said the professor with a big smile on his face

"Now can you walk?" and with that Dan tried and walked perfectly on all fours

*wow walking on all fours is easy* Dan thought

Just then another man entered, this one looked like he was in his early 20s and was wearing the same as Professor Cloud

"Professor the new trainer is here to get her first Pokémon" the young man said

"Ok Ray I will be there soon, looks like if this trainer picks you Eevee as her starter you will be able to leave the lab" said the professor as he took a pokeball from his pocket

Dan was then put in a pokeball

-5 minutes later-

Ray and Professor Cloud entered a room with a girl that looked like she was about 12 years old with long blond hair that cascaded down to her hips. She was wearing a dark pink T-shirt with a purple skirt and to finish off she had a pink bag on both her shoulders

"Hi professor my name is Lucy, Lucy Rose" said the girl

"Well Lucy it's nice to meet you are you ready to pick your first Pokémon?" the professor replied.

"Yes professor" Lucy answered.

"First we have Fennekin a fire type" said the professor as he threw a Pokeball then a little fox come out of the Pokeball

"Cute" was Lucy's only response

"Next we have Froakie a water type" said the professor as he threw a Pokeball then a little frog appeared out of the Pokeball

"Cool" said Lucy

"And finally we have Eevee a normal type" said the professor as he threw a Pokeball, then Dan was sent out of the Pokeball

"Wow this Eevee looks different from other Eevee I have seen, so why can I pick this Pokémon instead of a starter Pokémon like Chespin?" Lucy asked

"Well you see Eevee was found hurt in the forest so I think it needs someone to look after it" said the professor as he bent down to pet Dan on the head

"I have decided I pick Eevee, because I think the white streak of fur near its eye is cute" Lucy said

"You can give Eevee a nickname if you like" The Professor said

"I know what to call Eevee…..Eevee your name will be Eve" Lucy said with a big smile on her face.

"Ok well Lucy here are your Pokedex and Pokeballs" Professor Cloud said as he handed Lucy the items "and this is Eve's pokeball, now take care of Eve OK" he continued as he handed over Eves' Pokeball.

"Thank you Professor I will, see you later Professor, come on Eve" said Lucy as she walked out the door then Eve followed.

As Lucy and Eve left the lab they saw an amazing view. The lab was on top of a hill that over looked the whole of Westville town, the lab itself was big it had a whole back garden for trainers Pokémon and had been designed for all types of Pokémon as well, it was wonderful.

"Hey Eve, I was thinking, how about we head home so mum can meet you" Lucy said with a smile on her face

*do I have a choice you can't understand me anyway* thought Eve but it all came out as "Eev vee eevee"

"Sweet, let's go" said Lucy as she started to walk down the hill with Eve following behind.

As they got into town it was hard for Eve to adjust to his new size as he saw the apple stands that just yesterday he could have bought one but now he could barely see over it, then he heard Lucy call him.

"Hey Eve this way come on slowpoke!" Lucy called as she waited for Eve.

*Oh yeah* Eve thought as he chased after her, then his speed increased dramatically, as he passed Lucy he looked in front of him and saw a Poképuff stand

*Crap stop, stop!* thought Eve then….

"Eve return!" shouted Lucy then Eve was pulled into the Pokeball "Close one, come on out Eve" and with that Eve came out of the Pokeball "Now Eve you have to control yourself, never use a move again without me telling you, understand?" Lucy said with an angry look on her face Eve sat there feeling sad *is this what they call being scolded, if it is I don't like it its making me feel guilty, I better listen to Lucy more so I don't feel like this anymore*thought Eve

"So now that that's done lets go home k" Lucy said with a smile on her face

-10 minutes later-

Both Eve and Lucy was standing outside of Lucy's house it was a nice house, it had two rows of beautiful flowers following a path up to the front door. The house its-self was lovely and well-kept the house was a light green colour and the door was brown, it was nice all-round.

Lucy then ran to the middle of the path stopped and then with a big smile said "Well Eve welcome to your new home!"
