#1 of Clinging Onto a Hope of Happiness


First part of Fara's story, based off of the story written by Kyler the Umbreon.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The feeling of the ground underneath Fara's feet disappeared when her annoying trainer picked her up again. She hated being picked up. She had to clean herself again after she was put down, and usually after cleaning, she'd just get picked up again. She had no power to it. She wished that her trainer could hear what she was saying as she mewed a 'please don't pick me up.'

Her dream was to become a beautiful Glaceon, but she was stuck here in Jubilife city's trainer school. Her trainer always said they wanted her to be an Umbreon. They thought a female Umbreon would be the coolest thing.

"Alright, it's time to go to school, Fara," her trainer said. She was a young, spoiled girl. Her father worked a fantastic job that earned plenty of money. Her name was Georgia. She had long brown hair, which she just let naturally hang down. She received the Eevee some time back at a daycare service. *Flashback* "But honey, we don't have any room for another pokemon in our daycare service at the moment. We have to get someone to take this egg away!" The daycare man was saying. "We'll offer it to the next trainer that walks in, okay?"

"Okay, but only if it looks like a responsible one," the daycare lady answered. It was then that Georgia's father walked in. The Daycare man said his usual "Welcome to the Pokemon Daycare, how may we help you?"

"I couldn't help but overhear that you had no room for a certain thing. I'd be glad to take that off of your hands, my daughter is going into trainers' school and needs a pokemon to help her start out," her father said.

"The parents of this egg are a male Glaceon and a female Espeon, so it's safe to assume the egg will be an Eevee, are you sure you want this egg?"

"An Eevee would be perfect for her. She loves the cute and fluffy pokemon, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to raise it well," he left the daycare and was on his way back home.

"Alright then. I can't believe that we could find an owner for the egg so fast, the parents were quite timid and yet still mean," he said. "It's going to be tough for a little girl to raise an Eevee, but best of luck to her," he said.

*End Flashback*

Her father always told her she needed to be more careful with her companion, but she only acted like she cared when her father was around. Her mother was off in Johto doing some other kind of service in the battle tower. She got paid really well doing it. Georgia never worried about money because her parents had such great income that it didn't even occur to her the expenses of everything she does. She looks to Fara, who is annoyed that she's still being held. "Look, it's graduation day, so you better be on your best behavior today. And no sleeping in class! It's quite embarrassing when you do that," She said, and then off they went to the trainer school.

They lived very close to the school, nearly next door. When they walked out, they saw Diane helping her aunt, nurse Joy, get back up from a fall. Fara always had a distant crush on that Eevee with the light blue eyes, but she never had the courage to even walk near him. She was timid and mean like her parents, so she didn't know how to speak to a person that she didn't know before. "Stop staring and let's go Fara," Georgia said, "before we're late!"

The bell rang as soon as Georgia sat down in her seat. It occured to Fara to look around for the blue-eyed Eevee. She saw that it wasn't there and looked down at her paws. Georgia just sat there looking like the princess of the world, like she always did. She never did anything new or interesting to Fara. The teacher was saying something when the blue-eyed Eevee and its trainer walked in.

"Miss Diane, if you want to graduate, you should get to class on time," the teacher said. Georgia was practically glaring at the trainer who was late. "Ahem. Back to the subject before miss Diane joined us. Today is graduation." The blue-eyed eevee yawned and then his trainer reached down and scratched its head so it wouldn't fall asleep.

Fara wished she could get the same kind of treatment. There was a bulbasaur, who's name was Bubba that sat behind them. Bubba walked up and greeted them, he was the only friend that Fara had in trainer school. He took insults like jokes, which made it easy for Fara to make friends with him.

"If it isn't beautiful miss Fara," Bubba said, attempting to flatter.

"Fuck off, ugly," Fara said.

"Hard to get as always, I see," Bubba frowned a bit. "What makes you so mean? Is it your trainer? I bet it is," Bubba rambled. "It is, isn't it!? Isn't it!?" Bubba started nudging Fara in the back.

"Did i not just tell you to fuck off!? Get away from me!" Fara said in her usual mean tone, which felt like a yell, but quiet enough for nobody to hear them.

"You know, if you really don't like her, you could always run away," He joked.

"Not a bad idea," Fara said.

"Uhhh.. hehe... wait, I didn't really mean it, are you seriously considering it?" Bubba was surprised at Fara's response to running away. "Is your trainer actually that bad?"

"Spoiled bitch wont let me sleep when i need to," Fara muttered. "She acts like she knows everything about pokemon when she doesn't. She just wants to make herself look better," she added.

Georgia looked down at Fara and picked her up onto her lap. Fara grunted at being picked up at this time by her trainer. Fara looked down and veed in pain of being pet too roughly. It was then that she decided, she would definitely find herself a new trainer. One sweet and kind like Diane was to her Eevee with the blue eyes, Kyler. Speaking of Kyler, he was just getting into a fight with his friend, Mich the pikachu.

When she saw Kyler lash out at Mich, she knew not to speak unkindly to this Kyler. She endured the rough petting through the day and then took the pictures with Georgia, but as soon as she was given the chance, she would run away into the forest next to Jubilife. Luckily for her, the father had installed a pet door for her to go in and out when she had to do her business. When they went back for their final night at the house, she had the plan all set. She would sneak out of that pet door and run away into the forest.

The day was over and Fara was getting quite anxious to run away from this trainer. But what would she do after she got away? Where would she go to find a new trainer? She decided she would follow one trainer. As she and Georgia walked home, Fara watched closely at where the blue-eyed Eevee and his trainer went. She would follow that one.

At night, the plan set out just like it was meant to be. She sneaked out the pet door and ran away. But instead of running into the forest, she stayed around the house that Kyler the blue-eyed Eevee and his trainer, Diane lived in. She camped out near that house in a spot where nobody would see her at a first look. The next morning, when she woke up, she saw posts all over that said :

_______________ ***Lost Eevee!*** Name: Fara Gender : Female Reward: 100,000! _______________

As soon as she saw that trainer, Diane walk out of that door, she followed. Oddly enough, her blue-eyed eevee wasn't outside with her, which made it easier for her to follow and act as if she were her trainer. And just like that, they left Jubilife.
