Chapter 2
Chapter 2

In the Kanto region lives an eight - year old orphan. People know her as the "Garbage Picker". She goes around and picks at left over garbage when nobody is looking. Her proper name is Kate. Tons of people have seen her alone by now, but nobody had the heart to take her in. In this town, it's survival for yourself. People would pity her, and some would even spit at her while laughing. Nobody had come to a conclusion this girl had a heart, she was like everybody else...but alone in this world. She used to have a mother and father, but they were the victims of a terrible crime. Years ago, a robber bombed a well - known shopping mall. Her parents were in the mall when the bomb went off, and they were never found after that. Nobody knows if they ever made it, but everybody guesses they died with their bodies obliterated. Her parents were very well - known, they were pokemon researchers. She was six at the time with a baby sitter watching over her. The baby sitter left the girl sleeping alone in her room, and figured the parents were running late and would be home soon. Nobody would have guessed they died that night. Nobody knew their was a girl in that house. After the girl stood in her house for two days with no return of her parents, she figured they weren't coming back. She was very mature for her age, so she left the house and started her own life at six. All she knew was that she needed food and a warm place to sleep for the night.

Kate had wondered into an ally to sleep for the night as usual. She was hoping this alley would provide garbage cans or boxes, they were comfortable to sleep in compared to the hard ground. Except, what she didn't expect...this ally she had wandered into was taken by mostly all shadow pokemon. There was a herd of houndour and houndoom living together. Kate had entered their territory, and everybody knows that will bring trouble.

The houndour and houndoom quickly stand up from their resting spot and start to growl, everybody knows humans bring pokemon trouble in this part of town. The girl quickly backs up onto the wall and cries, she dare not scream. Screaming would cause panic in the rest of the neighborhood, she doesn't want to get the rest of the people afraid. Even though nobody cares about her, she cares about them. This is her problem, so she should deal with it alone. One of the houndour steps out of the pack, and goes in to make the first move. It leaps into action, and uses a tackle attack on the girl. The girl is thrown hard into the air, and smacks hard against the other side of the wall. As she falls to the ground, she twists her knee. She's a really skinny girl, she barely has any food to eat...and that 'causes her body to be very weak. The herd of pokemon turn around, and swarm the girl that had been thrown. They were going to go for the kill this time. They were hungry, and they hadn't had food for days. The girl looks for an escape, but there is no hope for her. They have her surrounded, nobody is out looking for her, and she's already injured.

When suddenly, from out of the blue, another pokemon comes to the aid of this human. It was a male umbreon. It wasn't very strong, but it had enough power to protect this human. This umbreon knew this girl, even though it never introduced itself to her. It had seen her struggle to survive, and it knew she had nobody to care for her. She was young and alone in a scary world. It would watch her closely lots of times, and see all the horrible stuff people used to throw at her. It wanted to attack the people that harmed her, but it was very afraid of them. It hated the thought of people harming its own species, it would wonder what drove a person to be that cruel to each other. World peace surely wasn't around the corner.

The gang of pokemon quickly left the girl to attack the umbreon, there was another intruder. The umbreon watched as the gang swarmed it. At just the right moment, it leaped into the air dodging the gang. It ran towards the girl, and grabbed her by using her mouth. There was no time to let her get on her back. With the others charging, it quickly leaped over the gang and ran. Some of the gang stood behind waiting for other intruders, while the other half left to chase them. Umbreon was very skilled in running, he had to run often from others. As it ran down main street with the girl, it looked back to see more and more of them heading back. When it looked back once more, it finally saw them all gone. They were free at last.

With the girl still hanging in his mouth, the umbreon continues on running. Finally, it comes to an underground base. The umbreon dropped the girl free, hoping she wouldn't run away. It stared at the girl as the girl stared right back. Kate was terrified, she didn't know whether to stay or go; so she waited to see what umbreon was going to do. As the umbreon starts to pick up the door, it grabs the girl by his mouth again and carries her down. It closes the hidden door behind him as it walks down the long stairs.

As Kate is being carried down, she looks curiously around the base. It was very well - designed, probable one of the best...and to be made from a pokemon, simple amazing. The walls were covered with wall paper it had found, and the floor was covered with beautiful grass. There were even flowers growing here, the only thing it needed was more light. It had lamps though, so it wasn't completely dark. She had no idea how the pokemon had gotten electricity in the cave though, it was amazing none - the - less.

Finally when the reached the bottom, umbreon released the girl. As it walked to the left, it gestured for her to follow. Toward the left was a big tunnel. The umbreon crawled in it followed by the girl, they both had no trouble getting through. Inside this hole was a kitchen - like food center. There were berries, food it got from market places, and lots of fruit. There was also a blanket on the ground to enjoy it on. Umbreon had tons of food found, and it had it very well kept so it wouldn't spoil. It was amazing to see that pokemon knew so much about life.

As it gestured her to the left again, there was another hole. As they crawled through the hole, this area looked like a play room. There were plushies, balls, rocking horses, blocks, and even an old power wheels car. It looked broken, but it was probable fun to sit in. This room was another amazing discovery, it was also very well kept.

As the umbreon gestures her back to where they originally were, it curls up into a ball and sleeps for the night. Kate looked at the pokemon sleep soundly, he was a very sweet pokemon. In this whole region, he is probable one of the few pokemon whose heart hasn't been turned to evil yet. Kate had nobody to care for her, so this was like a miracle to happen. This pokemon was actually paying attention to her, and it was actually interested in protecting her. Delightfully, Kate sleeps next to what seems her new best - friend. While sleeping, she was bewildered why this pokemon didn't hate humans. Oh well, she thought to herself. It's better not to ask questions. With that, Kate falls asleep very easily for the first time in her life.
