Furry search engine

formerly SoFurry search engine

The search was on for the two eeveelutions to unite; both unaware of where the other might be located. The Jolteon had finished his small encounter with the snakes, and the Umbreon had been close to the tree where Jolty slept. Both were worried about one another, and didn't take their mind off of each other for even a moment. The bond that they had seemed to grow stronger with each day they spend together, and the feelings that Umbra felt for the Jolteon were not one-sided.

Umbra was near the tree, however he wasn't taking cover under it. The dark type was gathering around berries and other fruits that he placed inside Jolty's tree. He learned to use his stored power in order to get the apples down from the trees, and he used his sense of smell to locate where berries might be located. He wanted to have as much as possible for when Jolty returned--but then the realization hit him. "I forgot, what if he doesn't think to check here..." he said to himself with anxiety in his eyes. They had just previously talked about never splitting up, however it seemed as though it would be short-lived if he didn't act fast. He quickly placed all of the grub he could find in the tree, and made a dash for the location he last remembered Jolty in. He hoped that with time Jolty would have finished everything, and would be waiting for the dark type's arrival. He took the straight route, not taking any time to detour around the trees close by as he raced his way over to Jolty's supposed location.

Jolty thought for a moment, using his head to try and figure out where Umbra might be located. "Hmm...If I know Umbra, he would be hiding in a nearby tree." he figured. The electric type decided to use his quick speed to detour around all the east side of the trees as he made his way back, looking to see if the dark type was hiding anywhere close. He yelled out for Umbra a couple of times, before a thought crossed his mind. "If I yell, I might attract other Pokémon...Best if I stay silent." With that, he continued on his way through the east--trying his best to remain silent in his search for Umbra.

The Umbreon didn't seem to find any sort of clue as to where Jolty was, and he figured the battle might still be going on. "Hang in there Jolty, I'm coming." he silently spoke to himself aloud. Even if it meant taking the more aggressive approach, he'd do what it takes to have the Jolteon safe. Coming through the same path they took together on the west, he was very quiet in his running state. He wasn't going to fight the snake head on if worst comes to worst, so he was going to have to take a stealthy approach if he felt he was going to save Jolty.

Eventually, the Jolteon reached quite the distance from the battle scene--still worried as to where Umbra was. He didn't think Umbra could manage himself in case something bad happened; but even if he thought he did--he wanted to be there to protect him. He spotted his tree up ahead, and he dashed up immediately to reach it. "Umbra, I hope you're in there..." he thought. Upon entering the tree into his secret sleep area, he quickly realized that it was vacant--but only recently. There were fruits and berries scattered across the middle of the area, and it didn't take rocket science for the Jolteon to figure why. "So my short stuff cares about me huh. I'll remember that." he said in his head, forming a smile across his face.

This feeling of warmth wasn't long-lasting, as he wondered where he headed off to. He sat his rump down for a quick moment to think. "If he left, and the fruit hasn't been tampered with...then that means he's not necessarily in trouble--yet. Where did he go? I checked around the trees, and he wouldn't venture off into an unknown area--"that's when it hit him. "OH! He must've taken the exact same route we entered in, so that means he should be on his way over to where he thinks I am..." he figured, quickly getting off his butt and onto the path they previously took together. He zipped through at an incredible rate, not caring at this point whether other Pokémon gazed at him. If anything, he figured it would be a good thing if one of those Pokémon happened to be Umbra.

The dark type took a little bit, but he finally reached the dark area that they last saw each other. He took a moment to scan the area, only to see a lifeless snake on the ground. He could tell he wasn't living when he saw the hole around his midsection. The Umbreon was surprised to see Jolty make such a rash move, but he was glad that the electric type was safe. Using his quick thinking, he figured that the Jolteon was back tracking, so he quickly ran in the opposite direction towards the east. Umbra didn't like to go in unfamiliar territory, but thanks to Jolty's help he was able to overcome his initials worries as he realized it was safe to travel through this part of the route.

Once again Jolty found himself back at the starting place, only to find that it was vacant. He was worried sick, and didn't want anything bad to happen to Umbra. He was starting to get upset, and quickly ran back at an alarming pace. His worries triggered an increase in his speed, and it only took about a minute and a half to reach his tree. He stopped and looked around for a moment, checking to see if his Umbra was around. To his disappointment, he couldn't find Umbra's shining rings anywhere; however he did spot other Pokémon within twenty feet of his current location. Knowing he wasn't shy at all, he slowly made his way up to the others ahead.

There were two Pokémon: a Chansey, and an Espeon. He approached the two, who were just lounging about as most other Pokémon would in the early evening, and slowly began to speak. "I was wondering. Have any of you seen my friend around? He's a dark type with gray rings, also known as an Umbreon." he questioned the two, hoping that they would have any sort of insight as to where the dark type could be found.

"I-I'm not sure!" the Chansey replied after thinking to herself, unaware of what a dark type would look like. "I thought they were night dwellers!"

"Well, I guess it's a little complicated, but this Umbr--"Jolty began to speak, only to get cut off by the Espeon to his right.

"Are you talking about someone named Umbra?" she knowingly asked, gracefully looking over to the distance.

"Yes! Do you know him? I thought he didn't have any friends." Jolty asked, puzzled about how the other eeveelution would have a clue about him.

"We aren't acquainted, however my eyes can tell who this 'Umbra" is." she assured him, pointing her paw over to the left of the trees. "Your friend will be coming from there. He's been worried about you."

The Jolteon started to smile, finally getting the answers he wanted. He knew right from the start that the Umbreon would do something like this; however he wasn't aware to the extent of it. In a sort of way, he kinda liked that Umbra tried so hard to find him. He let out a heavy sigh, only to smile over at the Espeon who was now looking back at the Jolteon. "Thank you! If there's anything I can do to repay you, I live extremely close. Don't be afraid to ever ask!" he said with a big grin on his face. The Espeon gave out a soft smile as she closed her violet eyes for a moment.

"You like the Umbreon, I can see it." she stated confidently. Judging from the general body language and her psychic powers, it wasn't too difficult to make out the feelings that the Jolteon might have for the dark type. "You aren't one to show your feelings so easily, but I know it's there. Do not worry, for the feelings you have are mutual~." she assured him, opening her eyes once more. "Go now, he'll be there in a few moments."

"Alright, thanks!" Jolty replied, quickly dashing towards the exact location the Espeon led him. He was curious as to what she meant, or how she knew his feelings for the Umbreon. Was the feeling really mutual? He had many questions, but when he looked back the Espeon had already vanished; the Chansey laid down across the grass by herself. Jolty's eye widened at that, curious as to whether the Espeon was real or not, or if she was a figment of his imagination. Either way, he trusted her words; and he headed his way over to where Umbra was supposed to be coming from.

Umbra started to grow a bit tired after all of the running he'd been doing, it was more exercise than he was used to. He wanted to lay down and sleep, but he felt he needed to make sure he found Jolty beforehand. He was close to breaking down--when a shimmer of yellow flashed before his eyes. Before he could make out the image, the Jolteon pounced himself on Umbra, giving him a warm hug from above. "I missed you short stuff!"

"Is that really you?" Umbra asked, in complete shock that he finally found Jolty after the long search.

"Nope, I'm just a random Jolteon who decided to pounce on you because I felt like it." Jolty snickered to himself. He slowly got off of the Umbreon, and helped him get up on his paws. "Of course it's me! I told you I'd never let you go!" the electric type nearly yelled, extending his front paw outwards.

The Umbreon met his paw against Jolty's, holding it there for a few seconds as he regained his composure. "Let's go back to the tree, I have something for you there!" he insisted, about to grab onto Jolty's tail with his maw.

Jolty gave the Umbreon a playful smack with his tail, teasing him as he started to walk towards the tree. "You mean the berries and other goodies you left me? You're too much Umbra." he said, smiling as he stayed close to the Umbreon. He still thought about the words the Espeon said, thinking about whether or not he really does have that mutual connection to the Umbreon. He shrugged it off for a bit as he focused on Umbra, looking back more than usual as to make sure he doesn't lose him again.

Umbra grew flustered as they were close, just taking the moment to embrace everything going on around him. The feeling of being reunited felt amazing, and all he wanted to do was stay close to him for a while. His eyes peered over at Jolty as they met eyes from time to time on their way back. Eventually they reached their destination together, and Jolty made his way in first. From there, they snacked on a couple of berries, leaving the fruits for tomorrow morning. The afternoon quickly turned to late evening over the course of their continuous search, and the day was beginning to end already. What felt quick to most Pokémon, was an endless set of hours for the two eeveelutions; and they slept together once again in the tree with full bellies as they prepared for their new route tomorrow.
