In unison, both kids called out, “An umbreon!”

“Wait though, look at it’s colour.” The girl said. “Is it a shiny?”

“I think so. It even has two different eye colours. Either way, lets catch it.”

Both trainers release their starters and from each flash of light appears a froakie and fennekin.

“Fen, use ember.” Yelled the girl.

“Froakie, use bubble.” Commanded the guy.

At their commands, both pokemon shoot out an attack towards me which using quick attack, I easily dodge. This triggers the sense to just attack but I wasn’t about to beat two starters on the way to the next town just because.

“Froakie, pound.”

“Fen, use tail whip.”

Both pokemon charge at me and using detect, I easily dodge the two and dart to the side. Hu, this pretty fun when you’re not getting hit.

“Keep at it Froakie.”

“Fen, scorch him.”

So the foakie dashes in while the fennekin starts trying to overwhelm me with embers. I start dodging without the aid of detect to practise but that was a bad choice. The frog manages to strike me in the side and trip me before the fox’s fire starts hitting me. Son of a bitch.

Using extreme speed, I escape the flames and use double team creating about 30 clones to hide myself.

“Fen, use emb..”

The boy stops her. “We don’t want to burn the forest down. Froakie, use bubble.”

The frog starts firing bubbles everywhere, striking clone after clone before he stops and looks behind his trainer. I had dashed behind them to watch and the pair turns to see me sitting there with a scorch mark along my side but I could live with that.

“She’s burned, Fen, use tackle.’

“Froakie, pound.”

While the pair of pokemon start their attack, I use double team again and doing so, the small scorch mark actually started hurting quite a bit. While it almost made me rage, I controlled myself and decided this game was over.

Using the clones, I charged swift and shot it so the stars surrounded the two pokemon rather than hitting them.

The two trainers and pokemon panicked as two hundred or so projectiles shot towards to small pokemon before a large dust cloud shot up. I decided to have some fun and placed myself between the two trainers while the dust was still high. After a minute it finally settled for the trainers to see their two pokemon unharmed and a perfect circle of damage surrounding them.

The froakie and fennekin turned to attack and their trainers turned around expecting me to be there which I wasn’t. They looked back to see their pokemon still looking before the two looked down.

“It’s toying with.” The girl said “Despite it being hurt, its playing with us.”

“She could have left but she stuck around after not only being able to knock out our pokemon in likely a single hit, but able to dodge us almost perfectly so we could win if she doesn’t fight back.” The boy stares at me with desire while the girl looks in somewhat sadness.

Would you just stop, fight us. Looking across, the froakie stares with actual hatred while the fennekin stares with a competitive stare.

Look buddy, you just saw what I could do with swift and double team, do you want me to go all out? I stare at the two pokemon who still evidently want to fight. Fine, but I’m not responsible for how bad you get hurt.

Charging with extreme speed right in front of the two starters, I activated iron tail and slapped the two of them in one swipe launching them into a tree. I felt really bad at that, but they asked for it. I went over to the two of them to see they were still conscious before lifting them on to my back carrying them back to their trainers.

The brother and sister both ran over to me and grabbed their injured companions before looking at me.

“Why aren’t you running?” The girl said while nursing her poor fennekin. “Are you a trainer’s?”

No, I am wild I say while shaking my head so they understand me.

“Were you released?” The guy asks after returning the injured froakie to its ball.

No. I say again shaking my head.

The boy opens his bag and pulls something out, but I can’t see what as it is too small to see. The girl starts patting me which at first, I flinch as why would I let someone just touch me in my old life. But it actually felt good, so I just closed my eyes and enjoyed it. She did this for about ten seconds before I heard the sound of an expanding pokeball and I reacted.

Using extreme speed, I shot out away from them only to see the brother holding a great ball where I was sitting. The burn flares up so the sucks.

“Why did you do that!” The sister yells.

“To catch her. Why else.” He responds

“Well for one that wouldn’t work, they either have to be willing or not strong enough to resist it.”

“Well she clearly was enjoying the pats so she looked like she wanted to join us.” He said while tossing the great ball at me which I just sidestep.

“If anything, she would want to join me, isn’t that right Shade.” The girl turns to me at the end.

What? Why would I suddenly just accept you cause you gave me a name?

I suddenly tune out of the fighting siblings before I realised, they said she and her. Thinking to myself, I’m not a girl, I’m a guy. Right? I look at my underside and there is nothing there, so how did they know I was female. I know some pokemon have tell-tale differences between gender, but I didn’t think any of the eeveelutions had one. But that said, those where games and such. Maybe their pokedex could show me. Cutting back into their conversation while walking towards them.

“..ine, I won’t try to catch her if she doesn’t want to be.” The boy concedes.

“Good, here she comes.” The sister responds after noticing me.

I reach the sister and reach into her pocket to her confusion before sliding out the pokedex.

“Do you want to look at your entry?” She asks which I nod before noticing and oran berry bush near some fruit trees.

Quickly running over, I grab a few and bring them back and try to gesture to their pokeballs.

After some back and forth, the two release their two injured pokemon and start healing them while I look at the umbreon entry. After a bit of looking, I found the difference between male and female. The major thing is that female umbreons are smaller in size across every feature on their body and look weaker. On top of that, at least for eevees evolution line, shinys are only ever female. So literally everything is different. Not only am I not human, im essentially a hunted species for sport, and I’m also a female. Not mention I’m not even in my own world.

“So Shade, wanna join us?” the girl asks after healing up her injured fennekin. She then holds out a pokeball.

I am not going in that. I knew they couldn’t understand me but by my expression, she understood and put it away and strapped her bag on and grabbing her pokedex.

“Well then, bye Shade.” She says disappointed but walking away with her brother in tow who was holding the great ball he threw at me.

Well then, I better find something for this burn. I ran to the stream and after cooling off, the mark had faded so I drunk from the stream and ate some fish I managed to catch before running after the teens. I wasn’t going in a ball, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t join them.
