Together

Chapter Twenty-Six

The gang all ran inside as a big snowstorm hit the area. They sheltered where the red road split, finding a bush that would shelter most of the snow.

Then the five Pokémon continued on their way with Eon's obnoxious singing following them everywhere they go. It didn't help Fergus joined in at one point and they sung the same song for hours on end.

Eventually, they reached a town and stopped when an Eevee approached them. "Welcome," the Eevee greeted them with a smile on his face. His gaze turned towards Fae. "Are you guys travelers?" He asked, eyes never leaving Fae's once.

Eon nodded. "We are our searching for adventure." He informed the Eevee casually. The eevee's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh my, well you're in luck here. We have plenty of adventure over here. Come with me!" The Eevee benevolently ordered as he started back towards a red colored bush. Fae exchanged glances with Fergus.

Where was this stranger about to take them? She didn't understand what kind of adventure they could be taking with this Eevee, but they still followed him.

Fae felt the brush tear at her white fur. Should they really be randomly trusting such a Pokémon? Well, they got this far. Might as well follow him to see what kind of 'adventure' he was talking about.

The five Eevee-related Pokémon followed the Eevee towards a really cool village. There was a yellow path as a main road within the village, and modern technology didn't seem to exist here yet.

The Eevee in front of them waved at a very pretty light brown Eevee who just giggled back at him. More Eevee and Eeveelutions started waving at the Eevee, greeting him by his name and saying hello.

"Hello, Corvus!"

The male Eevee they were following only nodded curtly in return. He continued his way towards a tent, dipping his head towards the Sylveon and Flareon in front of the tent. The two Eeveelutions were guarding the tent in front of them.

"Greetings Xavier, Eros." Corvus greeted the two, nodding his head in order of who he was speaking to. It was especially helpful since he nodded towards the Flareon first and then the Sylveon.

The two Eeveelutions were both male, and they both took their jobs serious enough.

"Good day, Corvus. Who are these strange Eeveelutions and shiny Eevee?" Eros wondered, nodding his head towards their guests.

Corvus chuckled as he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "Oh them? They're looking for an adventure, and I thought they could be of use to us." The Eevee suggested with a brilliant smile on his face.

Xavier sighed, although he seemed to be calmer than Eros who was excited at the prospect. "Of use to us? Look, our problems aren't outsiders problems. If they want an adventure, here isn't where they'll find it."

The Eevee was slightly disappointed. "But when are we ever going to get help? This war—" Corvus started before Eros lifted a paw. "This war is not theirs to join. We don't want to be rash and bring unqualified Pokémon into the battlefield." The Sylveon informed him, dipping a respectful head towards the group. "Not that you aren't qualified. It's just these Pokémon are really crafty."

"None taken. What war are you guys going on about?" Eon remarked with a curious expression—however he also had a look of concern.

Xavier put a paw against his face and rubbed. "Well, it's really none of your concern. We'd rather not get Pokémon we don't know into the heat of the battle. It's really just something you should stay out of." The Flareon informed.

He then smiled mischievously. "Although, I do gotta say having more Eeveelutions and Eevee in this village would do us some good. What do you say? We can offer you the adventure you need somehow, I am sure. Meanwhile, I'm sure Corvus here would love to hang out with your shiny Eevee pal."
