Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[AmethystRoze]

She walked around in the new body looking for anything. If anything gets near I'm gonna find it. She thought taking her job seriously, she didn't want the forest to die, that would mean mommy, daddy, and Simon's would to and she wouldn't let that happen.

 

[JessieSune]

Gastly notices the Eevee as it approaches. "Hello, Eevee. You appear to be searching for something. What is it you're looking for? Can I help?"

La'ir, ever watchful, scans the horizon. Other than some Pidgey there's not much to see. It's not exciting -- but Balaa deserves his very best after all she's done for him. Besides, he's trained for this.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle doesn't know how to respond, she's not in her own body and she innately distrusts ghost types. "N..No that's fine" She had responded

 

[JessieSune]

Gastly chuckles. "I understand. I don't exactly have a friendly appearance. I'll keep out of your way, no fear."

With that, the gaseous Pokemon floats away, leaving Eevee alone. Until a moment later, when a Fearow appears out of nowhere and snatches the Pokemon, carrying him into the air.

Simon yawns.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle yelps a little and loses the connection but immediately scans for the fearsome, and tries to take control of him if she finds him. nonono please don't die.

 

[JessieSune]

It's too late. Fearow is already a good several hundred feet in the sky. Danielle can just make out the outline of the Eevee, now with its mind restored and its body struggling, confused and terrified at its fate.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle whimpered, at first softly but it became louder. i...I killed that poor eevee.. If she didn't have a job she covered her face with her paws. Her eyes seemed watery.

 

[JessieSune]

A moment later, however, Fearow lets out a sharp cry. A ball of some kind can be seen circling it, angering it so that it drops the poor Pokemon, apparently to its death. For one moment, though, Danielle sees a purple streak -- and then it and the Eevee both vanish.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle runs closer to where it happened to see if she could get in range of her powers, panic starting to build.

 

[JessieSune]

Fearow pursues the purple ball, but it finally vanishes, and the angry bird swoops off, crying as it goes. Upon reaching the clearing, Danielle can hear voices.

"Is he okay?"

"He's a little scratched and scared out of his wits, but he'll be fine."

"How did he let himself get caught?"

"He seemed to be acting funny to me..."

A look through the grass reveals a whole pack of Gastly, Haunter, and one Gengar peering over the unfortunate Eevee. Gengar strides forward.

"Are you alright?"

"Y--yes...thank you for saving me..."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle watched the strange scene, trying her best not to make a sound. She skipped a little where she stood because eevee survived, then realised that probably made sound and stood perfectly still. She would probably lose a fight against three ghosts, though they seemed friendly.

 

[JessieSune]

"Wait," says Haunter. "I sense something."

"What caused you to get caught, little one?" asks Gengar.

"I...I don't know. I was just walking around, and then...the next thing I knew I was in the air and doomed...and then you came."

Gengar frowns as the others exchange knowing nods.

"It's that cursed Balaa," says Gastly. "Probably making another puppet for her own selfish ends. Did you hear of Liese? Her brothers can't even--"

"Peace, Gastly," says Gengar. "Our biggest concern at this moment is--"

"Is that a Vulpix?" asks Haunter -- and all look towards Danielle.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle bolts, the things they said scared her and what they might do scared her even more. What were they talking about? mommies not bad, she protects everyone. She thought, clearly upset over the mean things they said. But right now she needed to run away

 

[JessieSune]

Danielle quickly finds her path blocked by Haunter. The Ghost Type uses Destiny Bond, locking Danielle in place until the others arrive. She's surrounded.

"I never thought...you would be here," says Gengar. "Balaa has already made you a stealer of minds? I had hoped -- but you must atone for the damage you have done. This Eevee would have died had my friends not interfered. What have you to say for yourself?"

Eevee looks terribly afraid at seeing Danielle.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She teared up again, her voice shaky. "I..I'm really sorry, I...I didn't mean to h...urt you." She said finding it hard to speak.

 

[JessieSune]

Eevee doesn't reply.

"You must be very strong," says Gengar, "to be so young and yet capable of what you are. Who trained you?"

Despite the anger of the others, Gengar's expression is rather kind -- though Danielle now recognizes him as the same one that fought Balaa earlier.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"M..mommy" she said, to scared to think of more explanation, hangar already hurt mommy... How could she do anything?

 

[JessieSune]

"Mommy? Are you Balaa's child?"

The others draw back, nervous at this revelation. Gengar stays put, however, his earnest questioning eyes keeping contact with Danielle's.

"Is Balaa your mother, young Vulpix?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

She simply nodded, if it weren't for the destiny bond she would be shaking uncontrollably.

 

[JessieSune]

"That is...unfortunate," he says quietly.

"We should keep her here," suggests Gastly.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She tries to build up the courage to speak, but her heart fluttered faster than a bullet and she began to hyperventilate.

 

[JessieSune]

"Haunter, she's panicking. Use Hypnosis, but keep it gentle."

Haunter obliges, trying to lull the Vulpix to sleep.

 

[AmethystRoze]

It works, her breathing begins to regulate as her heart slows. Her eyes began to droop. why do they hate mommy? She thought rather sleepy.

 

[JessieSune]

A few moments later, she finds herself awake in a tree, with the other ghost types gone. Only Gengar and a Shaymin remain in the room. The tree is sturdy and cozy -- there's little to fear at first appearances.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She stirrs some, trying not to make much noise, though she wasn't as frightened they still didn't like mommy so they might be bad. She looks at the two Philemon, one of which she didn't recognise. "W..where am I?"
