Chapter 1: Child time Fun
“Tag, you’re it!”
Miracle tapped my back with his paw, and then jumped away, stumbling at first, but soon his feet fell into a perfect stride. It took me a minute to catch up to him, but being the fastest in my group of friends, my strides caught up to his in a small amount of time.
“No Tag backs,” Miracle shouted, keeping himself from becoming “it” again.
Upon hearing those words, I quickly swerved to the right, kicking up dirt onto Miracle’s tan coat of fur. He growled a little, but soon went back to his carefree nature. I looked around at my friends, trying to find the easiest one to tag so that I could save my energy for running from “it”. I looked my shoulder and saw Sunny, breathing hard from running away from “it”. Being an easy target, I sprinted after her, quickly catching up and throwing my paw upon her back.
“Sunny, you’re it,” I laughed.
Sunny sighed and dashed after Breezy because Breezy was the slowest of us all. Although Breezy was slow, she used her strength to outwit Sunny, jumping over wide logs, and running over rough terrain that caused discomfort to Sunny’s paws. Sunny decided to give up on Breezy, and quickly ran after Rocky, who wasn’t paying attention, and was quickly tapped, becoming “it”.
“You’re it Rocky,” Sunny said with a gasp of air.
Rocky looked up, but didn’t move, signing to the rest of us that the game was over.
“So what do we do now,” I asked.
Every other Eevee looked over to me, all almost mirroring my own appearance. All of them but Sunny were a tan color, with a lighter tan fur collar. Their tails were the same color as their fur collars, and they all had deep black eyes, wide with excitement. Sunny was different though. Her fur was stunning silver, and was often chased by humans, but luckily, she was fast.
“We could play something else,” I suggested.
“Like what?” asked Miracle.
All of us looked at each other, none of us knowing something that could keep us occupied for long.
“Let’s play Trainers and Pokemon,” Sunny said.
It was a game that we had made up when we were younger. There were two trainers, two Pokemon, and another person who did whatever role came up, which often included cashier, professor, nurse, and ref. We played it in attempt to figure out more about battles and trainers. All of us said we wanted to become a trainer’s Pokemon, but in truth, we were all scared of humans, and we played to game as if we had trainers.
“Ok,” we said in union.
Sunny spoke, like usual, taking the position of the leader of the group.
“Ok, sense I came up with the idea, I think I should get to chose whos who.”<br>
We all moaned. Sunny always made herself be what she wanted to be, and just decided on the rest of us randomly. Sunny ignored our moans and sighs, and began to assign roles to us.
“Desire, you and me will be the two Pokemon. Miracle, you are Desire’s trainer, and Rocky is my trainer. Breezy can be the person who does whatever comes up. Ok, let the games begin.”<br>
Rocky walked up to Miracle, trying to walk like a human, but finally giving up and sticking to his own four paws.
“Hello Miracle. I see you have a Pokemon. What do you say to a battle?”<br>
“Get ready to lose,” Miracle laughed. “Go Desire.”<br>
Hearing my cue, I leaped out in front of Miracle, growling and barking at the opposing trainer. I tried to look as savage as possible, but I knew that I looked more stupid then anything.
“Go Sunny, my silver Eevee,” Rocky said with a more serious tone to his voice.
Sunny also tried to look like she was strong, and trained well, but truly, she looked like she was high. She clawed and growled at the air, as if some invisible force were there.
“Let the battle begin!” Breezy yelled, taking on the role of a ref.
“Ok Desire, your faster, so we get to attack first.”<br>
“No fair!” protested Rocky.
“It’s the rules Rocky,” Breezy said, clearing up the rules of official battle, as we knew it.
“So Tackle Desire.”<br>
I leapt towards Sunny, hoping to collide into her silver body, but instead I landed face down in the soft dirt.
“Here’s your chance Sunny, use Tail Whip!”<br>
Sunny came in for the attack, but I pushed myself off the ground, and quickly ran off, avoiding the attack.
“Desire!”<br>
All of us sighed. There was the all too familiar cry of my mother. Like usual, she decided to call me inside to eat right in the middle of our ‘battle’.
“Aw mom, just 5 more minutes.”<br>
My mom looked sternly at me, her eyes telling me that she wasn’t going to back down.
“Well see you guys tomorrow.”<br>
My friends each exchanged their farewell to me before I dragged my paws into our home.
