Lucy opened the door and Eve followed Lucy, inside as they got inside Lucy shouted "I'm home mum"
"Oh welcome home dear" a woman shouted back as she came into view she looks like a woman in her mid-40s
With short blond hair and wearing a light green dress.
"Hi mum"
"Hi dear and who's this?" Lucy's mum asked looking at Eve
"Oh this is Eve my starter Pokémon" Lucy said
"Ah, well I have the perfect thing for her" said Lucy's mum as she went to the chest of draws "Now Eve close your eyes" said Lucy's mum as she bent down to eve, so eve closed his eyes for a minute "Ok open them" said Lucy's mum and when he did Eve saw his reflection then noticed a bright pink ribbon on his left ear
"Eev vee eev vee" said Eve
"She likes it" both Lucy and her mum said in unison
But what Eve thought was….*WHAT THE HELL!*
"So Lucy how about I make us some tea before you head off?" Lucy's mum asked
"Sure I would love some" Lucy replied "and Eve would like some of my Poke puffs" she continued.
-20 minutes later-
Lucy's mum entered the living room with a tray with 2 cups of tea and a bowl of Poke puffs.
"So Lucy I hear there's going to be a Pokémon contest in Lillyshine city in a month's time" Lucy's Mum said
"Really, then I know where my first Pokémon going contest will be" Lucy said excited "Eve I bet your wondering what Pokémon contests are?" Lucy asked
"Vee" eve said
"Well you see Pokémon contests are made up of 2 rounds the first round is where the trainers show off their Pokémon and the second is where the Pokémon battle and when you win you get a cute ribbon then you win 5 ribbons your able to enter the grand festival, it's just amazing, anyway mum we better get moving, I will call you once I get to bell city" Lucy continued.
"Bye dear be safe" Lucy's mum replied
"I will mum bye and make sure you watch the Lillyshine Pokémon contest" Lucy said as she and Eve walked off to the next town
-30 minutes later-
"Here we are eve route one, once we take our first steps on this route our journey would begin, are you ready Eve?" Lucy asked Eve
"Vee eevee" Eve said and thought *you bet Lucy*
So the two took their first steps on their way to the grand festival. Route one as like a meadow it had loads of beautiful flowers and the sky was just as beautiful there was not even a cloud in the sky and the breeze was nice and cool.
"Let's get going eve" Lucy said
"Vee" said Eve
After a while they saw something it was a Pokémon it was on all fours and had black fur with a red tip of fur on top of its head, Lucy thought it was cute so looked it up in her pokedex
"Zorua the Tricky Fox Pokémon It changes so it looks just like its foe, tricks it, and then uses that opportunity to flee." Said the pokedex
"Ok Eve lets catch it" Lucy said
*fine if I have to* Eve thought
"Ok now Eve start with tackle" Lucy ordered
*Right* Eve thought then charged for Zorua ducked his head and hit Zorua in the chest.
"Wow your strong for someone who's cute" Zorua told eve
"What" was all eve could say before he was hit in the head by shadow ball.
"Eve counter with quick attack" Lucy ordered, so eve ran as fast as he could at Zorua and hit him right in the ribs sending him flying
"Good job Eve, now go pokeball" Lucy said as she threw a pokeball at Zorua, the pokeball wiggled once twice three times and caught
"All right we just caught a Zorua" Lucy said holding Zorua's pokeball
"Come on out" Lucy said as she let Zorua out of his pokeball
"Zor?" Zorua said
"Zorua from now on your name will be Shade, I hope you two will be good friends" Lucy said with a smile on her face, Shade then seen eve
"Why hey there babe so what's your name?" Shade asked eve,
*great he thinks I'm a girl better play along just to make Lucy happy* Eve thought
"My name is Eve and I'm not your babe you got it" Eve said walking towards Shade "but we just met so maybe overtime I might be" Eve whispered into Shades ear as he walked to Lucy.
"Ok shade take a rest you are still hurt from your battle with eve" said Lucy as shade was sent back into the pokeball.
