Legends on Earth: Chapter Two: Sea Scape
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On the beach of Olivine City, a young trainer sat looking out at the sea. His hair was brown and flat, and it came down to about midway of his forehead. He wore a blue cap over it, though, which he had pulled down a little to shade his eyes from the sun. He wore a blue short-sleeved button down shirt that was unbuttoned over a gray long-sleeved shirt. His pants were blue cargo pants that he kept certain supplies in that he didn’t want to have to get to his bag for.

An espeon came up behind him. It used its ability to read air currents in order to avoid detection by knowing where the trainer was going to look. When the time was right, it struck. Running to the side of the trainer just as he turned away, it grabbed one of his sandwiches and ran a short distance away. There, she promptly began to eat the sandwich.

When the trainer looked back and saw that his sandwich was missing, he did a quick scan of the beach. Upon seeing the espeon, he gave a small sigh and smiled.

“Es’,” he called to the espeon, “I don’t know why you insist on taking my food. It’s not like you’d find that sort of thing in the wild.”

Espeon just looked up at him, sandwich finished, and said, “Espeon?” She then walked over and laid down in front of her trainer.

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” he responded, reaching down and petting her, “You weren’t exactly raised in the wild, were you?”

He thought back to when he had found her. It was two years ago, just before he was going to start his pokémon journey. He had been walking through the forest when he came upon her. She couldn’t have been more than a few weeks old, only an eevee at the time, but she was seriously injured and unconscious. He had run her to the Pokémon Center, where he had waited all night as she was treated.

Even after being treated, she needed time to recover. He had taken her home with him and had delayed starting his journey to take care of her. At first, she seemed to be afraid of everything, but after awhile she got used to everything around her.

When she had fully recovered, he had asked her about going on his journey with him. She had hesitated, looking nervously at the pokéball he had gotten prepared. Realizing that she was afraid to go inside it, he had explained to her that she didn’t need to stay in it if she didn’t want to, but she would need to go in it once just to “seal the deal.”

She had hesitated a little more before that look of nervousness passed and she agreed. Lightly hitting her with the front of the pokéball, he had watched as she was enveloped in energy and pulled inside. After the standard three shakes, the ‘ball had settled, and he immediately picked it up and let her out. She had seemed to get through it all right, but she never went in another ‘ball again.

Espeon’s sudden cries brought him out of his thoughts. She was standing up, her ears and tail stiff, and was looking out at the ocean. He followed her gaze until he saw something floating out in water. He tried to figure out what it was, as it was different from the wingull and peliper that flew up during unseasonably warm weather such as what they were having. The grim realization dawned on him, though: it was a person.

Getting up quickly, he looked around to see if there was anyone around that was better qualified to help. Seeing no one, he looked back at the person who seemed to be getting further away. Making a decision, he ran down to the water and jumped in. He swam out to where she (he could now see it was a girl) was and grabbed on to her. He tried to pull her back to shore but was having trouble fighting the current while still keeping a hold on the girl.

As he got tired, he began slipping under the water. Just as he was about to go under a final time, he felt something lift him up. Looking down, he saw a chinchou supporting him; his chinchou. He could have kicked himself for not thinking to get Chinchou out to help him earlier. Luckily, Espeon was smart enough to know both to and how to release him.

Chinchou couldn’t carry them both to shore alone, but he provided support as his trainer swam back to shore. On the shore, a very worried-looking Espeon greeted him.

“I’m alright,” he managed to get out in between breaths, “and thank you, both.”

He then got up and checked on the girl. She was luckily still breathing, but she wasn’t wearing any clothes and was shivering. He brought a towel over and wrapped it around her. Looking at her, he saw that she was about a year or two younger than him and had long, silvery hair. She moved a little then opened her eyes, revealing them to be a blue color as if the sea he had just saved her from had filled them with its own color.

“W-what happened?” she said weakly.

“It’s okay,” he assured her, “You almost drowned, but you’re safe now.”

“I… B-but that’s… That…” He could tell she was fading back into unconsciousness.

“Shh,” he tried comforting her, “It can wait. My name’s Kirby. What’s yours?”

“M-my name? It’s… It’s L-Lugia…” She passed back out, leaving a surprised look on Kirby’s face.

A/N: I know these chapters are a little short, but if they're short I'm more likely to finish them. Also, reviews are nice because they let me know what you like (or maybe don't like) about the story.
