Opal's Story - Chapter 5
The next day Sara woke me up while she was getting ready for school. We ate breakfast and played for a little until it was time for Sara to go. I walked with her to the gate, and before she left she knelt down and patted my head. "I've got something...
Opal's Story - Chapter 4
I slept for a time after that. When I finally woke the sun had risen well into the sky, which meant it was maybe four or five in the morning, unless I really misunderstood the human clock. Sara was nowhere to be found. Her backpack was gone from her...
Eevee - Opal's Story - Chapter 3
The next day I woke up in a sleepy haze. I had liked the pet store, but Sara's bed was so much, much more comfortable. I sat there for a few minutes before I was awake enough to realize Sara wasn't in the room- and then I panicked and ran out of the...
Eevee's Story - Chapter 2
The next day took forever. I ate when I woke up and then stretched out on top of my blanket, just watching the store. People came by just like they did every other day, and I wagged my tail as they passed, wondering with each one if my trainer would...
Eevee's Story - Chapter 1
My name, before I had one, was Eevee. The other Pokemon and the humans I met either called me 'Little Eevee' or 'Cute', but I learned quickly that my name was just Eevee. I lived in a Pokemon store for people who couldn't catch a Pokemon on their own....
The River... In Winter
"We're here; time to get out." The voice broke through the fuzziness in Zip's head. Where was he?... "Dude, chill. He's asleep; at least give him a minute to wake up." Another voice, one that caused a vaguely protective feeling to come out of the...
Interlude - Leadership
Flen sat in front of the abandoned building and idly rubbed at his sleeping Espeon's head. It had been a hectic couple of days, with a lot of disappointment and upset, and a lot of excitement and happiness. But now he was back home, back in Jyrrian...
Ledyba's Story - Chapter Three
I woke the next evening as the first stars began to shine through the dim twilight. There was a mixture of activity around as some Ledyba were still fast asleep and others were busy at various tasks they tried to accomplish quietly. I felt hungry and...
Ledyba's Story - Chapter Two
We spent four days flying over the ocean. We found breaks along the way - small islands, large enough for us all to set down on and sleep the day away beneath a protective Reflect. Several of the older Ledyba carried a great net between them, too, and...
Ledyba's Story - Chapter One
My name, before I earned one, was... you know... I don't think I actually had one. We weren't really big on names. Ledyba are more scent-oriented than sound oriented. Everybody knew who I was by my scent, and that was that. I was just another baby...
Interlude - Growing
The Onix settled down in between the walls of the tunnel. He was nervous here - it was closer to an opening in the tunnels - but it was the only place that was quiet. Some humans must have come in at some point and disturbed all the Zubats. They had...
Phoenix's Story - Chapter Four
The next day passed slowly. I was still confused by everything, from what Sara had said on the phone to what Clara had told me that night. I ate the breakfast Sara had left for me much slower than I usually did, and just waited in the kitchen for her...
