The town of Brynx looked lively throughout the day, Pokémon and trainers alike basked in the sunlight as it shined across the continent. The forest on the outskirts of town stood out from the rest; the leaves on the trees were closer to black, and the atmosphere of the area was gloomy. Life was almost nonexistent during the day, as the night-dwellers slept during the bright hours of the day. On the other side of town, a calm--peaceful route that had Pokémon relaxing back without a care in the world blossomed. There was peace, and the population grew exponentially throughout the last decade. All of the daytime Pokémon lived here, including the yellow spiky canine--Jolty.

It had almost been a full day since the incident with the Umbreon, and he couldn't help but face curiosity about whether or not everything was going fine for the Pokémon. He spent the daylight hours strolling through the area, learning new surroundings as he went deep into Brynx. It wasn't his first time in town, but he went through all of the creaks and turns to learn just where everything was located. He was a Pokémon who loved to explore new boundaries that exceeded his memory. Nothing was out of reach for him, and he wouldn't stop for nothing to learn about the whole continent.

There was a short ringing sound that replayed in his spiky ears as he slowly made his way back to his tree. Jolty lifted a paw and softly tugged his left ear down a bit, scratching it; the ringing suddenly clicked to him. Umbra was on his mind, and he remembered that his right ear was injured. He wasn't sure what he was feeling, but he felt it would be best to pay a visit to the Umbreon as soon as the moon started to show.

The light that had previously shown itself had now cowered itself to the twilight. The doors of Brynx were locked tight as the trainers and their Pokémon head themselves to sleep. Once again, the electric type canine made his way through town--making his way through the familiar scenery to reach the dark destination up ahead. There was a faint, gray glow that emanated in the distance. It didn't faze the Jolteon in the slightest, as he had an idea of where it might be leading to. This time seemed to be a bit different, as the light shook in a vertical pattern. He was curious for what was going on, and the Pokémon picked up his speed.

The trees didn't look the same as before; he was very analytical about his surroundings, having a vivid image of what was supposed to appear where. He was a bit skeptical, but wasn't bothered to worry about the scenery as he slowly led himself through the forest path to where Umbra was located. His paws gracefully danced through the terrain as he made minimal sounds from his steps. The other night Pokémon wouldn't be able to locate the electric type from sound alone.

As he got close to the source, he hid himself behind the tree, using his right eye to peer out to the side and watch the Umbreon. He wasn't prepared to scare the Pokémon, it was all just to take note of Umbra's current condition. The erratic light that he followed earlier in the forest suddenly made sense to him, as he took notice of Umbra facing a large--dark pine tree. His body kept lunging forward, in an attempt to make contact with the tree. The Jolteon was confused at first, pondering what the reasoning would be to ram himself into a random tree in the forest; he looked up to spot a large, red apple in the leaves. It was a bit unusual to find one in this area, neither a pine tree. The dark type didn't quit, forcing himself against the bark, barely causing a dent in the towering tree. He was left with minor scratches and bruises--most of which covered his back.

Jolty looked to see if there were any branches close to the apple, as a light bulb went off in his head. He swiftly maneuvered away from the current position, slowly working his way around the back of the pine tree, increasing his speed as he set his first paw onto the bark. In a flash, his body zipped up the trunk of the tree, without a single rustle of the leaves as he turned his body towards the upper left branch. From there, he turned around--letting out a noticeable chuckle.

"Looking for this?" he asked, smirking with the apple beside his paw. The electric type rolled the apple down, slipping itself off the branch and right onto Umbra's noggin.

The dark type collapsed onto the floor, bringing his right paw up towards his forehead where a large, red mark formed from the apple's force. His eyes didn't look over to take notice of who threw down the apple--however he had a solid hint due to the familiar voice of a Jolteon he'd met previously. They were closed shut from the pain, a small tear appearing from his tear ducts.

"O-Oow! I-I can't see!" he yelled, unable to get up.

A quick rustle of the leaves sounded out as the electric type dashed down the tree, making sure to keep his footing as he lodged himself down onto the surface. Jolty went over to where Umbra laid on the ground, and sat rump first in front of him. His paw extended out, softly pressing against the dark type's red mark; it was located just between his forehead ring--noticeable in the dark from the size of shape of it. "I'm sorry about that...maybe I shouldn't have been so reckless about rolling the apple. Here," he said--as he reached over to grab onto the red apple, nudging it against Umbra's maw; "I know you like these!"

It took a few moments to regain himself, as his eyelids soon took in the moonlight upon opening. There, right in sight, laid the apple he'd been working hard on obtaining. Without any grudge on the electric type, he gave a cheeky smile as he bit down onto the apple. His stubby teeth made it difficult to make large indents, which made him take a bit longer to finish it; the Jolteon watching close as he saw the Umbreon happily eat on the fruit.

"So--you're back at the forest, huh?" The dark type gazed up, surprised to see that it was deep in the night. Lots of time went by from his failed attempts to retrieve the fruit; but more importantly--it was too late for the Jolteon to be awake during the dusk of night. He used his paws to lift himself on his own rump, sitting down in front of Jolty. "You aren't tired at all?"

"Of course not, silly Umbra," he happily said. "I'm always awake when I know I'm needed!" The Jolteon softly scratched the side of his face, before placing down his paws in front of his crotch in a relaxed position. "You were hurt yesterday, and I was curious to see if you were doing okay." he softly spoke.

The Umbreon noticed that there was a small fly that stood on the electric type's nose, and he reached over with his paw to softly nudge it away. Before bringing himself back, his paw rested on Jolty's nose, as the fly soon flew up.

"Anyone tell you that you have an adorable nose?" The dark type smiled, sticking out his tongue in a soft, playful manner. His body language seemed serious, but his words and motives said otherwise. "I think I know why the fly decided to lay here!" he said, softly pressing his nose.

Jolty grew red in the face, trying to nudge Umbra's paw away from his nose. "W-What do you mean? Get off my nose Umbra!" He lifted the dark type's front leg away from him, as he looked at the Umbreon with an embarrassed expression. "I've never had someone say that to me before."

Umbra softly lifted himself up off his rump, tossing the finished apple core to the electric type. "So you have a soft spot, huh? I'll remember that." he teased.

The Jolteon grinned, following in the dark type's footsteps in getting up, as he threw it back towards him. "Nope, we'll just see about that!" He looked up--realizing that it was getting a bit too late for him. He turned the other way, turning his head to the side to look back at the Umbreon, who had the apple core in his maw. "I think I should get going! I'll see you tomorrow, Umbra!" he exclaimed, before sticking out his tongue.

Before the Umbreon could reply back, a claw slashed at his hind leg, causing the dark type to stumble as he fell face first into the hard ground. Before he could react, another claw pinned the Umbreon's ear down--leaving him helpless to the attacker. He couldn't look back, and his eyes closed with a short yelp as he grew scared. The Jolteon heard the cry, and turned around to spot the large Pokémon over five times their size, angered as he stared at the apple core in Umbra's maw.

"So, you've been the one eating my apples, huh?" he asked, before his crimson eyes squinted. "I don't think you'll live to eat another one of those."
