Eeveelutions of Time: Chapter #1
#1 of Eeveelutions of Time
Alright folks, I've kept you waiting long enough about me rambling about a story I was going to write. My apologies for the very long wait as you know of how we can all be occupied with things outside the internet. For the past few months I've kept you guys updated long ago on when I will post my first one shot story. It turns out that this will be an ongoing story! One thing to note, I did not write the story itself, my boyfriend was behind the scenes of all this. I couldn't be happy enough for what he has done, putting effort into doing this.
I will say this... this story may have themes that may not appeal to younger audiences in future chapters. Please try and read with an open mind as the story progresses. We're both spending lots of time making this story. All of the writing done to this story is by my boyfriend. He has personal reasons for why he rather I be the one to post this. Feel free to drop by and give him a hello! Here he is: https://auroramoon.sofurry.com/
For some reason the em dash doesn't work on SoFurry, so if there's a hypen/dash that looks a bit off, it's most likely supposed to be an em dash.
The daylight was absent from the town of Brynx, as the night washed over. It was the 4th of May, and the full moon had just started to show. All of the trainers who had departed on their journeys took stops to rest as the night carried on, and soon the Pokémon of the land followed in their footsteps. Only a select few had a preference for the twilight hours; most didn't have the necessary abilities needed to navigate themselves in the dark. On this particular night, however, there was a Pokémon who didn't sleep at the usual time-nor planned to anytime soon.
Dark, ruby-red eyes skimmed over the area, as the Pokémon had a challenging time navigating during the night. His white mane just barely grazed above the ground as he rambled around. He had no specific destination-as the bright, gray light shined a path for him to follow. This was a rare occasion, as the daytime Pokémon usually didn't have the courage to go out in the night; vice versa applied to the nighttime lurkers. This special instance would be one that changed the lives of two Pokémon forever.
A long, white-tipped tail swayed back and forth against the ground as the male followed the dark trail. It was the outskirts of Brynx, and he wasn't familiar with the unusual terrain. It took a while to realize that this was a forest, and he'd been dodging through trees as he continued on his path. His paws swiftly avoided any hazards that were laying around on the bed of the forest. As the light grew bigger, his movements increased. His pointed ears heard unusual sounds that could be faintly heard nearby, and the Pokémon grew weary as he took his final steps towards the source of the light.
Upon stepping against the bushes, a small rustling sound was echoed throughout the area, as the wind started to pick up. The leaves scattered across the ground as they fell from the trees above. The Pokémon took a small step forward, and upon looking at the source-stood motionless. It looked chaotic, something you'd only see in a horrific nightmare. The ground was all torn up, and there was a big crater in the middle. There were cuts on the trees, which laid on the ground all over the place.
His initial reaction soon came to a halt, as he impulsively lunged himself towards the destruction. Upon following the light, it led towards an Umbreon; he had a small gash on his right ear, as well as a tree trapping his right hind leg. The male's eyes were closed, as it seemed he'd been knocked out from another Pokémon. Judging by how beat up he was, it didn't seem like a fair fight. The Pokémon didn't waste any time in rushing towards the Umbreon, grabbing onto his front paws to try and pull him out from under the tree's weight. Unfortunately, the tree had his leg locked under-which left him with no other choice than to try and push against the tree. The impulsive idea seemed strange, however as the force given off by the Pokémon grew stronger, the tree slowly began to roll in the opposite direction. The Umbreon's hind leg was soon free from its grasp, and he was safe from harm.
It didn't take long for the other male to figure out what to do with the injured Pokémon, as he dashed to the right, where the top of a fallen tree laid on the ground. Where the leaves were, small red apples were growing on them; the tree hadn't been crushed too long ago, so he knew the apples were still safe to eat. With the sharp fang sticking out of his maw, he bit down on the apple, holding it in place as he turned around, heading to where the Umbreon was located on the ground.
To his surprise, the Pokémon's eyelids slowly opened-revealing bright, gray irises that lit up the area that they wandered. The Umbreon took a moment to regain consciousness, only to spot a Jolteon holding an apple. He appeared to be healthy, with a sharp yellow color to his fur. It was unusual to see a Jolteon with a tail, one that was large in size-with the tip primarily white. His ruby eyes looked intimidating to whoever met eyes with the eeveelution. The Umbreon was scared, as he wasn't in a good state to fight; however his worries soon went away when the Jolteon dropped the red apple, nudging it closer to him.
"Go on, take it; and don't worry about a thing." he insisted. The Jolteon felt some sympathy towards the Umbreon, as he didn't like seeing someone in that state.
While very hesitant, the Umbreon couldn't deny he was famished. It'd been over a night without any grub to snack on, and his natural instinct was to consume anything within arm's reach. He slowly picked himself up, standing on all fours as he leaned his head down-slowly digging in to the apple. The Jolteon was surprised to find out that he was taller than expected, but didn't feel intimidated in the slightest. The Umbreon was still very bruised up, and needed someone to look after him.
It didn't take long for the male to fully devour the apple, nearly scarfing it down from the lack of food in his body. The Umbreon slowly looked up towards the Jolteon, trying not to shy away as he spoke. "T-Thanks...you didn't have to." he softly expressed to him. "I can handle everything."
"You're very silly. Anything to help you out." The Jolteon soon reached his front paw out, towards the Umbreon. "My name's Jolty. I'm usually not around at this time of night. What's your name?" he questioned.
The Umbreon was a bit reluctant, but felt a feeling of warmth wash over him as he recalled what Jolty had done for him, to which he softly extended his own front paw, touching the Jolteon's. "I'm Umbra. This isn't a safe place to be roaming around. I was looking for something to eat before I was attacked." he muttered, looking down towards the ground.
"Doesn't scare me!" He migrated his vision over to the gash on Umbra's right ear. It was a wide cut, but the Umbreon seemed to manage it well. Even so, the Jolteon couldn't help but worry. "Will you be alright?"
"Oh...this?" he said, looking above his head. "I'll be fine. This isn't the first time I've gotten ambushed before." The Umbreon slowly began to blush, almost wanting to hide his face from the other eeveelution. "I...have to thank you for everything. You're really considerate, Jolty."
The Jolteon gave a cheeky grin. "Of course! I wouldn't ever let anything bad happen to you." he assured, before letting out a soft yawn. "I'm glad that I found you. I do have to sleep before the night ends; I live on the route opposite from here, feel free to come to me if you ever need anything!"
"I will try and visit you sometime soon, if I find a night that isn't too dangerous." Umbra explained, with a soft smile. "You need to get some rest. I'll be alright, don't worry." With that, he extended his front paw out, this time initiating it for the Jolteon.
"If you're sure. Alright, I'll talk to you soon-Umbra!" he said, as he extends his own paw out, pressing against the Umbreon's. After about four seconds, he let his front paw down to make his depart; it was a long way back to his rest area, but he knew there was plenty of time to sleep before the morning hit. The Jolteon thought about the Umbreon as he crossed through Brynx, wondering whether or not he believed Umbra would be safe. He couldn't shrug away these thoughts, as he felt the Umbreon needed him. Once he reached the outskirts of town, he nestled himself away in the bark of a tree, where he slept at night. He curled up into a ball, softly resting his head down on the soft blanket he kept under him at night-as he began to sleep.
