Opal's Story - Chapter 10
Waking up hurt. Again. It wasn't just my body this time- the recent fight had left me sore and battered- but worse than that, it was morning. Even shut tight my eyes hurt from the sun's brightness, and I had been lying in the open long enough that I...
Umbreon - Opal's Story - Chapter 9
I sighed, sitting in the shadows across the street from Sara's house. I had been sitting there for about twenty minutes, trying to get the courage I needed to walk the last few steps. My mindset about everything had changed, but I still felt a cold...
Opal - Umbreon's Story - Chapter 8
When I woke up next, it was still night- but somehow I knew it was a new night, and that I had slept through the day. The rain had stopped, but the puddle was still near me and I was thirsty. I went to drink some of it... then saw my reflection,...
Opal's Story - Chapter 7
When I woke up, the first thing I felt was soft warmth surrounding me. It wasn't oppressive or stifling, but... comfortable, like I was sleeping next to Sara or sitting on the couch after someone had just gotten up from it. My body hurt, but it was...
Opal's Story - Chapter 6
I woke up to a sudden impact, and as I looked around I discovered I had fallen off the bed. There was a knocking sound on the door, and Sara had pulled the covers off the bed trying to get up to answer it. I growled and shook my head, finally managing...
Opal's Story - Chapter 5
The next day Sara woke me up while she was getting ready for school. We ate breakfast and played for a little until it was time for Sara to go. I walked with her to the gate, and before she left she knelt down and patted my head. "I've got something...
Opal's Story - Chapter 4
I slept for a time after that. When I finally woke the sun had risen well into the sky, which meant it was maybe four or five in the morning, unless I really misunderstood the human clock. Sara was nowhere to be found. Her backpack was gone from her...
Phoenix's Story - Chapter Three
I woke up early the next morning, tucked away in one of the cabinets beneath my blanket. I peeked carefully out of the cabinet door and immediately hunkered back down inside the cabinet. Sara was in the kitchen filling our bowls with food, while her...
Phoenix's Story - Chapter Two
I grinned up at the three other Pokemon, staring at two head on and watching the third from the corner of my eye. A Mareep and an Aron stood across from me, and a Wartortle stretched in place beside me. I had met the Wartortle a few times before and...
Sonata's Story - Chapter Six
### Chapter Text The next few days dragged on for what felt like forever. At first it wasn't that bad - all of us were banged up at least a little from the hailstorm, and we needed the rest. And there was a lot to learn about humans and the way they...
Cherubi's Story - Chapter Five
Sara used the Pokeball to call me out of the hailstorm, and the angry whirl of ice was replaced by the warm, peaceful garden. I couldn't relax though - I knew Sara was still out in the storm. And John too, but I found I was more concerned about Sara....
Cherubi's Story - Chapter Four
I woke up at some point in the night - or at least, I thought it was night. It was dark in the small room because Sara had turned the light off before she had gone to bed, but that didn't necessarily mean it was still night. The sound of rain was...
