Looking between the dead Espeon and the alive Eevee a plan began to formulate in Kael's head. ' Kael, you're insane. What do you expect to happen when you take out the eye of this Eevee mom? You expect it to just go along with your plan?' Kael stated to himself in his head. While Kael continued to have his internal monologue on whether to enact his plan. The Eevee seeing the distress that the weird Pokemon was in, sat up and walked over to him. She then began pushing her head against Kael's side to cheer him up. With a jump, Kael looked over to the Eevee who was now snuggling up to his side. If not for the rather heinous ideas going through his mind he would find this sight rather adorable. Deciding to ask the Eevee instead of questioning whether it would do it, he asked "Hey Eevee, I know your mom just died but do you think I could take one of her eyes and use it for my missing one?" "Eevee?" It asked confused. 'Good going Kael you really couldn't sugarcoat it or anything?!' "Let me rephrase" he stated while starting to point towards what he was talking about. "When I protected you and your mom from the Scyther he cut my left eye out" he said pointing to his now closed eye. " I was wondering if you would help me connect one of your mom's eyes to mine, so I could see more clearly?" he stated, pointing towards the Espeon. "EEVEE!?" the Eevee yelled while looking shocked that he would ask that question. "I know it's a lot to ask of you after healing me, but I thought that If I could see with both my eyes, we could get out of here and find civilization." Kael expressed while performing a placating gesture. "Eevee?" the Eevee started questioning. "I promise that the only thing I will do is remove one of the eyes from Espeon and implant it onto myself. Nothing else will happen to your mom." He reassured, Finally after about 20 minutes of the Eevee looking between her mom and Kael she relented and trudged up to Kael with a nod. " Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me" He started, basically bowing toward the Eevee. Seeing this Eevee slightly puffed out her chest like she was some great queen basking in the praise. "Now comes the fun part" Kael stated sarcastically with a face that looked grim.
Trudging up to the corpse of the Espeon he took a moment of silence to pay respect to the Pokemon that lay before him. After finishing the moment, Kael took out his trusty pocket knife and kneel before the corpse. With grace not normally found in a regular person Kael slid the knife in between the eye and eye socket, slowly pushing the tip towards the back of the socket making sure not to damage the eye with any part of the edge. Once he finally felt slight resistance against his knife, he steadily pushed down, slicing the eye from the optical nerve. Slowly, Kael slid his knife out of the eye socket and quickly wiped it off on his good pant leg. Grabbing at any courage he could find, Kael took two of his fingers and slid them on either side of the eye he had just detached. Using a firm put light touch, Kael slowly lifted and slid the eye out. With a soft pop, the eye was released from the socket and placed in the palm of Kael's hand.
Meanwhile, Eevee watched in morbid fascination as she watched her mother lose her eye to this stranger. Yet she felt nothing towards her mother. She obviously missed her, but other than that slight feeling of loss it was like she had already made peace with herself.
Looking at the eye, Kael couldn't help but be fascinated by it. Compared to human eyes this was vastly different whether it be the light purple sclera, the pure white iris, and even the lack of a pupil making the white become an abyss of pure light. It was a beautiful sight, even though it was slightly disgusting. What fascinated and Infatuated Kael even more was that in due time this would be a part of him soon. Without thinking, Kael brought the eye up to eye level with himself and gazed into the white abyss that brought endless possibilities. What awaited him was unknown, and the idea excited him.
Looking at the Eevee with the eye in his hand he asked "Are you ready, once I put the eye into my socket I'm going to need you to use your wish move and hope to Arceus this works." With an affirmative bark, Kael used his left hand to open up his left eyelid, while he used his right hand to position the eye in place. "Here goes nothing" he stated before gently pushing the eye into place. At first, he felt nothing, just like there was something foreign where his eye used to be. Then Eevee started her dance, jumping around making yips and barks in a sort of song. Finally when she finished, Kael started to feel a tingling sensation near his eye.
As time moved on, the tingling sensation started to get more intense, and he felt his face start to heat up. By the time 30 minutes had passed, you could spot Kael laying on the ground rolling around screaming from the pain. He was currently holding his eye, letting out a blood-curdling scream that could be heard by all the inhabitants of the forest. When he opened his right eye for a split second, he saw what seemed to be many Pokemon in the tree line watching him writhing in pain on the ground. That was the last thing he saw before losing himself to the pain…
Slowly coming back to his sense, Kael kept his eyes closed. Surprisingly, he didn't feel any pain coming from his left eye. Focusing on his hearing, he could hear the sounds of muffled talking. Slowly opening his eyes, everything looked normal for some reason. As he looked around, he found himself in a hallowed out tree, with vines acting as a door or shade to the entrance. Hearing something shuffle to his right, he turned and saw the shiny Eevee laying on the ground. She seemed to be slowly waking up. "Eevee?" she asked as she looked around. When she landed her eyes on Kael she jumped up in surprise "Eevee!" she shouted getting the attention of whoever was outside prompting them to come inside. As he looked at the makeshift door, he saw 3 different Pokemon walk/hop through. First was a small Wooper, hopping up and down with a giant grin on its face. Next was a Lunatone floating next to the Wooper watching him with a serious gaze. Finally, was a Medicham just slightly shorter than him. All three looked at him with worry before seeing his eye. After which they all were startled with surprise. Other than the Wooper who jumped up to Kael and started to thump his head against Kael's side.
"It seems that you are awake, young one"
"What the hell!" Kael yelled, looking around, trying to find who said that.
"Worry not, young one, it is me who is communicating with you."
Kael looked around and saw the Medicham looking straight at him with glowing purple eyes. "Uh hello? Where am I?" Kael asked the Medicham looking around in confusion. "You are currently in my sanctuary. I help sick Pokemon heal before they leave for their home." The Medicham stated in Kael's mind. "Ok, that doesn't explain why I am here?" Kael asked, questioning the psychic Pokemon before him. "You were brought to me by a group of Pokemon heading from the east. They said they found you screaming in pain lying on the floor with Eevee right beside you." It said while starting to look between him and the Eevee. "Would you mind explaining what happened?" "Sure I guess" He stated.
Then he explained everything that happened to him, from falling through Hoopas portal to talking with Medicham. " How perplexing, So not only are you from another universe, but in that universe Pokemon was what you called a video game. This is quite fascinating, I've only heard of tales about Hoopa, but the most common is its love for mischief."
" Yeah, I know it's kind of hard to believe, I'm still not completely sure this isn't a dream." " Trust me, young one, this is no dream," She said with understanding. " I have a few questions, if you wouldn't mind me asking," He asked hesitantly. "Speak your mind, young one." She stated with a calm elegance. "Ok first, why are you calling me young one, I'm 22. Second, how are you able to speak so well? Finally, why haven't you commented about my new eye?" he asked hastily, wanting to understand the answers.
"My aren't you excitable? Very well, for your first question, I'm sorry to inform you that you do not possess the body of a 22-year-old. If I had to make an educated guess, I would state you were around 16 years old. For your second question, before I founded this sanctuary I was part of a trainer's team, during which time I learned the English language. Finally, while I think what you did wasn't very smart, I have no reason to go against the blessing of Arceus." She stated calmly and respectfully. Taking a deep breath and a couple of minutes to think of what she said through, he came up with a retort…. "HUH!"
Do I love cliffhangers? Maybe? What do you think so far, I'm really enjoying writing this and have so many cool ideas for this story.
If you like what you are reading review and tell me about it.
The first thing I'm going to ask of you all is to help me pick Eevee's Evolution. She's Shiny so I would prefer y'all pick something that looks cool but if you make a good enough argument I'll heavily think about it.
Hope you all enjoyed see you later!
