Espeon and Umbreon - Yin and Yang Love

Yin and Yang Love

Umbreon woke up, his body cold and stiff. 

   The slightest of movements sent ripples of pain through his stiff limbs. 

  "Ngh." Umbreon's fuzzy mind returned, slowly clearing away the cobwebs of pain as more time passed. The sunlight warmed his fur, bringing back his energy. 

  Slowly, he managed to pull himself up to a sitting position. 

    Then the memories returned to him, flooding with sudden power. Leafeon! And his battle...

     Now he knew what had happened. He had passed out. 

      "I have to find Espeon!" Umbreon thought suddenly. Even if she didn't love him anymore, he still had to warn her of Leafeon's intentions. 

      Struggling, Umbreon limped inside the house. Apparently, the Eeveevolutions and Arthur had gone for their daily walk. Has no one remembered him? That he even existed?

      Umbreon noticed a Potion sitting on the table. "Human medicine," Umbreon remembered. He reached up, using his paw to knock it to the floor. He had seen his friends being healed with potions, in contrast to Espeon refusing and healing either by the sunlight or wild berries. 

   But how could he deal with Leafeon? He was quicker, elusive, and smart. He had come from the roots of the forest. And again Umbreon remembered Leafeon's devious smile. Wait. The forest. The forest! Leafeon was a wild pokemon! That meant...he could be caught in a Pokeball!

    But where did Arthur keep them? 

       Umbreon searched the house, now renewed by the potion. All his pain had faded...replaced with a soothing feeling of everlasting energy. 

  Umbreon helped himself to some wild berries and dessert as well, knowing he was going to need the strength. 

    Finally, he found a small cluster of three pokeballs. One was an Ultra Ball, another a Great, and a Pokeball. 

     He picked up the Pokeballs in his mouth, holding tightly onto them.

    Where was Espeon and Leafeon? 

      Umbreon remembered Leafeon's charming personality. And his words came back to him. The secret grove...that's where they were. 

  Umbreon sniffed the air, catching Leafeon and Espeon's intertwining scent, a mix of water lillies and roses. 

    Quickly, he followed the scent, into the underbrush..and found himself in what could simply be described as a dazzling grove of beauty. The grass was perfectly trimmed, moving slightly in the breeze. Trees carried ripe berries. A crystal clear pond held water. Espeon and Leafeon were lounging beneath the shade of a tree, sharing berries with their eyes locked on each other. 

      "Espeon!" Umbreon called, dropping the Pokeballs. 

  Espeon's crystal gaze slid from her lover to Umbreon. Her smile transformed from dazzling to of a cold scowl.

   "What have I told you? We aren't lovers anymore!" 

  Leafeon turned, and Umbreon could see his perfectly groomed fur, even from far away. His playful smile morphed into a disgusted one. 

    "Now's my chance!"  Umbreon thought. Getting a hold on the Ultra Ball, he threw it up in the air, and batted it at Leafeon with his tail. 

   The Ultra Ball hit Leafeon directly on the head, and Leafeon transformed into a swirling ball of red energy, sucked into the ball. Then it burst open, and Leafeon stood there, bristling.
