Chapter Twenty-Seven
Fae watched as Corvus pointed at a nearby town on the map he presented to her. She didn't understand why Eon let her go out alone with this guy, but so far he wasn't doing any harm. Of course, she'll keep her guard up just in case.
"And that over there is the Pikachu Valley. One of many villages of those annoyingly popular brats. We've managed to put aside our differences with them as one of our own somehow fell in love with a Pikachu many years ago. I don't understand it, but love is love I suppose?" Corvus remarked.
It was pretty close to the Eevee Village they were in. Fae didn't understand it. The idea of war. This group has been in a few wars themselves. The Pikachu war and the current war they have going on against the Zorua Tribe were just two of five.
How could such similar Pokémon be enemies? That must be a terrible thing.
War was just terrible. Yet, wars happened all the time here. There's a war with villains going on right now and whether or not the Starter Squad is truly the good guys. It was just a bunch of baloney.
Fae didn't need the history on this Pokemon's past, but yet here she was being taught it.
However, recently she had been dreaming more and more of those two strange legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta. Were those two Pokémon really that scary to her? It didn't matter anyways as it's been nearly a week since she's had it.
It's been a month since they've been hanging out with this tribe. Fae had been forced to go out of town every now and then with Corvus while the Elders and several Eevee and Eeveelution within the village snickered to their heart's content.
Fae still had no idea what was so funny.
"Fae, hey Fae! Look here!" A paw pushed her lightly and she turned her gaze back towards the star-named Eevee with disinterest.
His paw was pointing at a Litten marking on the map. "What is that?" She asked curiously. The younger Eevee giggled. "It's a Litten group of course!"
His tail lashed in amusement. "Wanna know something funny?" He inquired with a murrow of amusement. Fae shrugged. It wouldn't hurt to know more about Litten, however it did remind her of the encounters with all those Litten in the squad as well as Radon.
Could Radon perhaps have been from a group of these Litten? One of these hordes? There definitely seemed to be quite a few clans within the wilds. It wouldn't be so farfetched for her to be a part of the group. However, she did seem educated enough, so perhaps she wasn't a part of any of the groups.
"There is a rumor that there is a Litten within that group who betrayed her whole clan. She ran away and everything. Now she's some type of outlaw there." Corvus informed her.
An outlaw Litten?
Yeah that most certainly couldn't have been Radon. She's way too nice to be an outlaw.
Corvus chuckled. "It's funny because those Litten are always strict and overbearing. It's a no brainer a Litten every now and then would leave the group. They rarely have any guests. Was the last guest a Quaxley? Sobble? Eh, who cares. It's a whole bunch of showoffs. That's all they are."
Fae was eager to get a move on. Corvus sometimes rambled on a bit too much. It wasn't bad. It's just they went out to go searching for berries. They had to bring a map because Corvus was bad with directions and Fae didn't know the layout as well as anyone else. This was the only job she was probably capable of either way.
Finally, the two were able to get a move on, Corvus finally done with his history lesson. The two made their way towards a grassy field with more berries than Fae could count—which was a lot.
"Alrighty now Fae, we are out here to collect berries. Do you know which berries we will be needing to bring back to the village?" Corvus questions her.
The white Eevee quickly took out a sheet of paper. She waved the sheet in front of Corvus to prove it was there.
"Good. Now make me some of the berries we will be needing in the village."
Fae almost groaned. She thought this would be a little more exciting. It was a fetch quest, how annoying.
Fae began to list berries off of the list, finding her tone mono as she read the list. "Twenty Oran Berries, Ten Rawst Berries, Fifteen Chesto Berries, Four Leppa Berries." She read with an eye roll.
This list was so annoying. Did they go out here everyday just to find a bunch of berries? Didn't they have a Kecleon shop at least? And she thought she was really far away from the modern world—these guys went out to collect berries often.
Who even collects berries? Explorers? Nah!
Corvus immediately went to work instructing Fae to go after the Leppa and Rawst Berries. Fae followed him, picking out the four Leppa Berries the villagers needed.
She didn't know why they only needed four Leppa Berries—they're very useful, but she assumed it was because sleeping also helped heal their move sets. Fae picked out the most juiciest and ripest looking berries she could find.
She was unsure still if they used the Leppa Berries to heal their moves or if eat Leppa Berries. Fae herself never tried one out.
Together, the two collected berries until the sun set. Fae sighing in relief as her paws hurt from plucking the berries. She picked the last Rawst Berry—she had been going slower than her Eevee friend had been, and the two of them packed up the berries they had collected.
Corvus insisted on lifting the backpack they had by himself—to Fae's disappointment as she was stronger than him, and slung the backpack on his back.
"Alright, let's go."
The younger Eevee seemed nervous. Despite also looking as young as Fae did, he was also a lot older than he seemed. He was definitely above twenty years of age, and seemed to understand many thing better than some of the Eevee in the village; most of the younger Eevee didn't even know what a super effective move was.
Corvus lead the way back, and Fae tried not getting distracted by all the beautiful Illumise and Volbeat coming out of hiding to light the way. If anything was better in person, it was seeing these beautiful Pokémon come out and glow in the dark as they danced around the night sky.
The two reached the village with a small amount of light left.
The two stopped right in front of a different guards Pokemon. She was a line green Jolteon. She nodded towards them.
"How was the berry picking?" She asked them with a sweet smile. "It was excellent, Elva. Fae and I had a great time collecting them, didn't we Fae?" Corvus bragged.
Fae only shrugged as a response. She didn't want to tell the fireball that it wasn't fun, and that doing this everyday was not something she wished she did.
Knowing that he wanted to spend time with her was flattering, however this wasn't how she wished to spend her time with him. They could easily go out and explore things. This wasn't much of an exploration.
Fae and Corvus began walking towards where Fae slept. It was a small cabin that was Corvus'. He invited her to stay with him, and she struggled to tell him no.
Now, they were padding together as one back towards that same cabin where Corvus lived. The younger Eevee paused right in front of the entrance, spinning around seriously.
"Can I ask you a question?" He wonders with that same seriousness in his eyes. He seemed nervous.
Fae wondered why he was nervous. She nodded slowly. She really wanted to know why he was nervous.
"Yes."
The young Eevee composed himself, taking deep breaths. He had his eyes closed before opening them to gain a slight ounce of courage.
"Alright, well here goes nothing." He made Fae wait a few seconds more than she would like. "I-I have a crush on you!"
What?
"You have a crush on me?" She questions with little interest in his words. She wasn't sure if she could recuperate these same feelings.
The younger male nodded his head. "Yeah! You're just such a cool and interesting Pokémon! I would really like to go out with you. What do you say?"
What could she say? What could she think? Fae didn't know how to respond to such a request. Go out with a Pokémon like Corvus? She wasn't sure she could ever do such a thing. She was a really boring Eevee. She wanted adventure. Did this Eevee seem to think she could gain some type of adventure by asking her out?
He was really nice. She wasn't sure exactly whether or not trust him—however, she didn't feel the same. But should she give him a chance?
I don't know what to do! I've never been asked out in my entire lifetime. Do I say yes? Give him a chance? Or do I reject him because I don't like him in that way? Oh! I wish I knew!
Either way, Fae had to decide and quickly.
Fortunately, life had other plans for her. A shiny Leafeon opened the door and exclaimed, "The village is under attack!"
