This choice: You understand them...and conceded that they had a point. • Go Back...Chapter #7Acceptant pet by: Unknown You were completely baffled as the two Pokemon talked to each other. Not only could you understand them talking about making you their pet, you found yourself agreeing with them! While the concept of being a pet made you uncomfortable the Umbreon made a fine point; you had no idea how the human world would react to you. However, one thing that was for certain was this Sylveon and Umbreon both expressed a desire to keep and protect you. In this circumstance it was a lucky blessing they found you and not some Pokemon that would have saw a shrunken human as a potential snack.
The Umbreon chuckled. "Poor little guy probably has no idea what we're talking about."
Pushing against the fur of Sylveon's head you took the chance to get in on the conversation and spoke up. "Actually, I can." Sylveon's velvety ribbons shifted against you and you soon found yourself before her large blue eyes again. Even though they seemed friendly you still had to swallow down your fear as you looked up at her huge face. "Um... I was hiking in the forest, passed out and when I woke up I was like this. Now, and I don't know why, but I can understand you."
The Sylveon looked shocked but as Umbreon walked over she appeared to be very amused. Apparently being able to understand them made you much more interesting and you began to feel crowded as the two Pokemon took up your peripheral vision. "You can? What do you think about being our cute little pet?" The Umbreon asked in a playful, mocking tone.
"Umbreon..." Sylveon scolded.
"It's probably for the best," you sighed. Both the eeveelution's eyes widened in surprise and the Sylveon pulled you closer, eager for an explanation. "Umbreon was right, I'm not sure what they would do to me if they found me like this. It's the safest option for me right now."
The two of them looked absolutely delighted. "Well if you want you can absolutely stay with us! We're going to take good care of you, right Umbreon?" The dark-type gave an exaggerated nod in response.
"Um, thank you," you muttered. The fact that you willfully agreed to become a pet was catching up to you and It was almost unbearably embarrassing. Although, even as you felt your cheeks burning there was one more aspect that needed to be discussed. "Umbreon, what did you mean when you said I was going to pay you two back?"
The dark-type gave you a toothy grin. "Wouldn't you like to know," she teased. "You'll find out soon enough."
Sylveon sighed at her before she turned back to you. "The next time I see Alakazam I'll ask him to look into what made you so small, okay?. He's really smart!"
"Oh, thank you!"
Her ribbons shifted against you and she gave a soft smile. "That's a task for another day, though. For now I guess you're going to be spending time with us."
"Pass him here, I want to play with him." Umbreon said. You flinched as she started moving her head closer to you but you were lifted out of reach by Sylveon's ribbons.
"Don't you think you should ask him first? Maybe he would like to spend time with me, instead."
"But he's our pet," Umbreon said as matter of fact. "Why would I have to ask him?"
Sylveon sighed at her again before pulling you close. "She means well, honest."
"Fine," Umbreon conceded. "Who do you want to hang out with first, little guy?"
While you would rather spend some time alone to come to terms with your new size, it would be rude to reject spending time with the two Pokemon that were going out of their way to help you. The obvious choice would be the one that was acting more protective and sympathetic, the Sylveon. While you just met, you could tell she would treat you right and not force you more out of your comfort zone than you already were. Then again, you were still considering going with Umbreon. She clearly had grievances against the human race that would reflect on how she plays with you but it might be good to let her get all those feelings out of her system sooner rather than later. The dark-type was even staring at you intensely as if she was trying to will you to pick her.
Whom do you pick?
