Loving Family

Chp 1

The world of pokemon has seen many advancements in recent years. Pokemon, once considered simple wild creatures, are now seen as equal to humans. Recent advancements in science and technology have brought their vast intelligence to light, allowing them to live similar to humans, buying homes, getting jobs, etc.

In this world, there is a certain eevee, named Toby. He was just patch the age of maturity for his species, having grown to about two and a half feet tall, the same size as a regular eeveelution. Most eevees chose to evolve, but those that did not grew larger than tiny baby eevees.

Toby has been down on his luck recently. His life was pretty good during his childhood. He was born to a single mother sylveon named Shine. He and his mother were incredibly close, and everything seemed perfect. That was, until, shortly before he reached maturity. One fateful day, his mother was struck by a car, and killed.

For a while, Toby was in total shock. He went to the funeral, only him and his mother's seven sisters in attendance. He felt like he should cry, or mourn, or anything, but all he could do was sit there, unbelieving that this could have happened.

He was soon forced to find a job to survive. His aunts had offered to take him in, but he refused. Jobs for pokemon were still an iffy area, as the lack of thumbs caused many problems in the workplace. Toby found a job in a trainer school, being a training pokemon, used for mock battles and demonstrations. It was kinda fun, though the pay was nothing special. It was enough to get by and didn't require any education so it was perfect for him.

Life was tough for him, suddenly thrown into adulthood, and of course, life continued its downhill slide. He was let go from his job because of 'budgetary issues'. No without a source of income, and having been living on the edge, he was dirt broke. He couldn't afford to stay in the small he apartment he had lived in all his life. He was forced to make a difficult decision. As much as he was trying to live like an adult, he needed help.

He had all his stuff already packed in boxes and ready to move out, no matter what the result was, though he had a feeling that the answer would be yes. Tapping the buttons on his pokemon friendly phone, he used his nose to call the mansion his family owned, where all his aunts lived. It rang once...twice... three times... Toby was afraid they might not answer and then what would he do. He was confused when the fourth ring never came. A few moments later, the familiar voice of his flareon aunt, Ash. She was his favorite aunt as she helped his mother raise him.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Aunt Ash! It's Toby."

"Toby!" She exclaimed. The sudden burst of volume that entered her voice surprised him. "It's been a while. Why I haven't seen you since... Anyways, how are you doing?"

"Not too good... I lost my job. I'm calling to ask if I could maybe stay over there until I get back on my feet."

"Of course! You're family after all. When do you need to come?"
