The Ereri Project!

Dragon (Pokémon)

"Professor Zoe did say we're supposed to go this way right?"

Eren looks down at his Sylveon questioningly, holding onto the strap of his bag nervously. She looks back up at him and nods sharply.

He sighs. "These woods are really thick, it's a little scary."

She walks a little closer to Eren when he says that as they keep walking.

When he notices she's shaking he asks, "You wanna go back in your pokéball, Vee?" She shakes her head sharply and he smiles at her. "Let me carry you at least, you're shaking like a leaf."

Sylveon had been Eren's first Pokémon back when she was still an Eevee, for his eighth birthday. He looks down at Sylveon in his arms.

"Can you believe we've been together for almost ten years Vee?" she smiles and chirps a happy noise at him.

He giggles and accidentally walks into something, tripping over it. "Ouch," he says, sitting up. Sylveon looks at him with concern. "I'm alright." He sits up and looks at what he trips over. "It's a sign."

A sign that says 'Breeder This Way.'

Eren realizes then that there is light cutting through the trees that way. "Think I found him, Vee," he says, smiling.

She makes a noise and the two of them start running in that direction. When they break through the thick of the trees, they find an enormous field with a short fence surrounding the whole circular area.

Off to one side is a mansion size house, spread out around the main area are toys and play sets for the Pokémon to play on, and off on the other side is a small lake.

Pokémon are everywhere.

"Wow," Eren says. "This is definitely the place Vee."

Eren walks inside the gate and Sylveon sees a group of Eevee playing together so she looks up at Eren. "Go play, I'll find you later."

She makes a happy noise and runs off to play with the Eevee. "You should let your other Pokémon out to play."

Eren turns to see a man walking toward him. He's shorter than Eren expected.

Eren nods and takes out his other three Pokémon; a Marowak, an Arcanine, and a Gyrados. "You guys go have fun, okay?" he says.

Arcanine runs off immediately while Gyrados makes her way to the lake. Marowak hides behind Eren's legs. Eren smiles at him, crouches down, and pets his head.

"You're okay, they're friendly here. If you're uncomfortable, go find somewhere quiet to sit until I'm done, alright?"

Marowak makes a face but nods and head-butts Eren's shoulder gently before running off as well.

When Eren stands back up, the man is standing beside him. He almost has a fan boy moment. "It's really nice to meet you, Levi," Eren says. "I've been a huge fan since I was a kid."

Levi shakes his hand. "Eren, right? Hanji said you'd be coming." Levi lets go of Eren's hand and looks around. "You're Gyrados is beautiful."

"I've had her since my friend hatched her egg and found out she was a Magicarp. He just found the egg somewhere and kept it, hoping it was 'something cooler' but when she came out he was going to abandon her so I took her. She's great."

"Not bad," Levi says and puts his hands in his pockets. "Anyway, it's almost lunchtime so you have to wait until I feed everyone to get what you came for."

"That's fine, my Pokémon haven't gotten time to relax and play much recently."

"I heard that as of last week you're the new Shiganshina League champion, congratulations."
