Poketale Sans x Abandoned Eevee Reader

Chapter 21 - Adventures Await

After a run in with some bug types in the forest, you were refusing to go to the ground. You stayed on Sans' shoulder, as close to him as possible. Your fur was blowing a bit in the wind.

"Pfft... seriously, (Y/n), you need to move... hehehe..." Sans chuckled.

You shook your head, only curling closer to him. Luna glanced over, seeing the dilemma.

"Well, Sans, I guess you're in a bit of a spot..." Luna stated.

"N-No kidding! Hahaha!" Sans laughed.

You didn't understand why. You felt safer with him; it wasn't a joke! You flicked your tail a few times in annoyance. Sans kept laughing. After a while you angrily jumped to his head.

"Ow! (Y/n)...?" Sans asked. You ignored him.

"Well, looks like she is thoroughly annoyed." Milly joked.

"You think?" Luna joined in. "I've never seen behaviour like that from a pokemon... especially one with a close bond to its trainer."

"Maybe she's just mad that you were laughing when she was genuinely scared?" Milly suggested.

You nodded, huffing and turning your head away. Sans sighed, looking up at you.

"Look, little Eevee, I'm sorry..."

You then smiled, jumping down into Sans' arms and nuzzling him.

"Haha! Okay, okay..." Sans nuzzled you. "Thanks for the forgiveness... now, let's get to the next-"

"Oh, didn't you hear? The other gyms are shut. For now at least."

"Wait, really, Milly?" Luna asked.

"Yeah... unfortunately, a sickness has hit this region fairly hard across pokemon... and with some of them being able to turn human... those ones can pass it to other humans... so... we don't want to make any pokemon stay out of its pokeball too long unless it's at home... or at the pokemon centre already..."

"It's said to originate in Zubats. But... I know better..." Milly continued. "Team Rocket knows what they did... and that's why I quit being a gym leader after our battle... to get proof of what they did... Luna quit too..."

"Wait, what?!" Sans exclaimed, looking at Luna.

"Yeah... hehe... I quit to go on an adventure... I got my job back temporarily should I ever meet someone I want to battle on my journeys."

"I never would have guessed it..."

Your ear flicked at a sound. Footsteps. And a familiar scent floated to you. One of anger. Betrayal. Abandonment.

You growled, turning your head back. Shamus.

"(Y/n)... what is it?" Sans turned, seeing him as well.

You kept growling, tail flicking in annoyance.

"I'm here for that rematch. I beat your brother again." Shamus smirked.

Sans shrugged, not at all bothered. "And? I never said you would battle me right away. I'm not free right now. Later, alright?"

Shamus grunted, walking away. You kept growling, until he disappeared behind a tree. You looked over at Sans.

He pet you between the ears, smiling as you purr, "Don't worry about him... he won't hurt you again... I won't let him..."

"Who was he?" Luna asked.

"He's the one who abandoned little (Y/n) here... I won't let him hurt her again..."

"How did you find her?" Milly asked, a slightly angry look on her face.

"Well... I was getting some berries... from the warehouse with Toriel. She called me over... and I saw this little one tied by her neck to a rope. So tense of which that she couldn't move. She couldn't get anything to eat."

"Oh my god..." Luna gasped, ears going down and tail flicking.

"Yeah. She was barely staying conscious. Even then, she tried to fight us away. Poor thing was terrified... she collapsed, and I managed to cut the rope off. She... she wasn't responding to us... I picked her up and we ran to Toriel's house..."

"The healer in Ebbot?" Milly asked.

"Yeah. She was able to heal (Y/n), then she began trusting us one by one..."

"Wait, so, I'm curious. On another note, how many pokemon do you have with you, Sans?"

"I had a lot. But I have Cubone, and (Y/n) with me right now. When we get to the next town, I'll show you the other pokemon, okay?"

"Alright."

Later, Nimbasa City:

You smiled at Sans as you both walked out of the pokemon centre. You hadn't seen what pokemon he got from the professor. But you jumped from his shoulders, sitting with Milly and Luna on the bench out back.

"Ready?" Sans asked.

"Yes!" Luna exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm ready. Show us what you've got." Milly smirked playfully.

"Come on out everyone!" Sans threw the pokeballs up in the air.

You gasped at the selection.

Okay, for real, this chapter took way too long already. Plus, this gives me more time to think about which pokemon I want to save the group later, and what ones to already have on Sans' team.

So, cliffhanger, I guess. Sorry if it is too many.
