Umbreon
“Go, Umbreon!”
My Pokeball hits the soft, cool wet grass and I immedietly know that was my cue to get out onto the battlefield. Eagerly, I jump out of it, ready for battle.
There’s a full moon out, and it’s shining brightly and beautifully. I’m charmed and caught off guard by it, until my trainer snaps me out of my “daydream” by ordering me to use Dark Pulse. “C’mon, focus!” I tell myself.
I let out a purely evil energy I managed to harness by something my trainer calls a TM. A black aura escapes my rings, and consumes the Goldeen that was now screeching in pain in front of my own eyes. Finally the poor, useless fish stopped screaming and wiggling and was out cold. I grin as my trainer pets me, exclaiming, “Good job, Umbreon! I knew you could do it!”
The young trainer, around 5, or maybe 6 years old looks crushed as she whips out her Pokeball, sucking up the dead Goldeen. I almost pity her, but it’s her fault for using a bad Pokemon.
“Fine. You win!” She said, handing over $1,180 to my owner. Wait, my trainer was making a living off of us? And $1,180 too! How sick! Her parents are gonna hate her when she gets home!
I payed it no attention, however, blinded by my pride. My owner lets out all the other Pokemon and sets up camp. I watch in awe as the takes out the tent and sets it up like magic. I wish I could do that!
I hand her a few wooden stakes and leave to go look at the stars for constellations. Tangela loves doing that. I don’t know why, he was always a little… weird.
I stare up into the moonlit sky, finding many constellations. The Big and Small dipper, Scorpio, and a lot of others. Suddenly, my eyes catch the moon.
It looked just as beautiful as I saw it last, shining brightly and beautifully. It looked like the white part of an Oreo, a cookie that me and my trainer both loved. All of a sudden I’m stuck in a trance of some sort, thinking about nothing but the moon and all it’s glory.
Suddenly, I notice my rings are glowing just as brightly as the moon. I stare at my paw in awe. It shines a brilliant gold like the heavens. I can’t help but smile.
That’s when things got bad. I was once again lost in a trance. Suddenly, my peaceful mood got washed away and drowned, having been forgotten by a flood of rage, hatred and hunger.
I hadn’t in the slightest why I was feeling this, but I decided it was best to go along with it. I turned to Tangela, and my rage built up even more. A blazing hot word shoved itself into my head.
KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL.
I let out a Dark Pulse, catching the ball of vines next to me by surprise. He yells and writhes in agony, and his vines are squirming and twisting like snakes.
Finish him. FINISH HIM!
I reach over to the squirming body and eject claws that I never knew I had before from my paws. I rip Tangela apart, killing him.
Suddenly, hunger that I had not noticed was bugging me even more than my rage. I settled on eating him.
I claw his vines open and dig into the tangled mess, in an attempt to find any trace of meat. All I find are Eye Sockets. I wasn’t about to eat eyeballs, though. That’s disgusting. I scowl at the waste of my time and leave for my owners camp.
I smelled smoke and rejoiced. A campfire was nearby, and where there is fire, there are humans. Humans mean meat. Meat means food. Food means no more hunger.
I finally reach the campsite and realize it’s none other than my trainer’s. I’m a little crushed, but I guess it’s too late. Death is inevitable. Perhaps she would learn that lesson today.
I see them eating by the campfire, munching on Hot Dogs, Marshmellows and Oreos. I scowl, and my desire to eat them grows. Those were MY Oreos! Only me and my trainer could eat them! I’m sickened by the thought that she would share with the rest of the Pokemon.
I sneak up silently, not wishing for my prey to be startled and run off. Apparently I failed, because my trainer turned to me with a warm, welcoming smile.
“Oh, there you are Umbreon! We were just eating dinner. I saved some Oreos for you, I know they’re your favorite— Oh my gosh! Look at your rings! That is beautiful… You look SO adorable! Wait here please, okay? I’m just gonna go get the camera…”
I try my best to look normal as she rushes inside the tent. I had to act fast, or else she’d either catch me eating the Pokemon or I wouldn’t have a chance and I’d starve. I pounce at Ponyta, Just BARELY missing her. She cries out for help, but she’s too late. I rip open her horsey-flesh and begin eating. Ponyta meat tasted SOOOO good. It was very tender, and not too hot, and not too cold. It would be better if it was cooked rather than raw, but I didn’t really care.
I ate all the meat I could and threw the bones into the forest for the Cubones/Marowaks to deal with. The rest of the Pokemon stared at me, horrified. When I was done, I decided I would let the victims pick who went next to be generous. I turned to them and smiled with blood-coated teeth.
“Who would like to feed me next?”
Unfortunately, no one volunteered. I looked over and saw my trainer running out from the tent, camera in hand. “I found it! I found it!”
I decided since she had interrupted my question, I would choose her to go next. I posed in front of the camera cutely, and let the clueless prey take a picture. When she was done, I was surprised to see that she had not noticed any trace of anyone having been murdered. She was as cheerful as ever.
“Okay, let’s look at the picture!” She said, flipping to her album. I snuggled up alongside her, ready for the kill.
“Oh my gosh! You look so…”
She let the sentence die. I wondered whether she had found out yet or not.
She put down her camera, revealing an expression of horror and deep, sincere regret. She stared deeply into the eyes of the Ponyta corpse.
“Who… what…. who did that….?” She pointed at the dead pony with a shaky finger.
I grinned, bearing my bloody fangs.
“It was me!”
I pounce at her living human body and rip apart her flesh like a child in a Toy Store digging through the 50% Off bin, throwing out bones, organs and such that I wasn’t in the mood for eating. I decided on saving her for last, for after eating a piece of her leg I decided it was much better than the others.
I turned back to my audience.
“I will ask again… Who would like to feed me next?!”
They all fled. Eventually I caught up to them all and finished them off, but they had fled. I had managed to eat them all, satysfying my hunger, except for Prinplup, who escaped by sea. But he probably became Sharpedo breakfast anyway.
Finally I came back to my trainer. I feasted on her carcass and lapped up her blood. Much tastier than the others. I popped an Oreo in my mouth and slept.
I woke up feeling awful, like I was having a hangover or something. But I knew I wasn’t, because I knew very well I was instructed to NEVER touch alchohol. I also wondered why my trainer wasn’t there. Maybe she was outside making breakfast for us. Not that I was very hungry. I couldn’t remember anything from last night, but I must’ve had a big dinner. I opened the tent zipper and walked outside.
It was then that I had realized what I had done. Bodies of Pokemon and a human were laying around in the grass, and dried blood was strewn everywhere. It was truly awful. And what sickened me most was that I had done it.
I wanted to kill myself. This was awful! I ran to the ocean to see if Prinplup was okay. There was a washed up body on the coast. It was Prinplup alright, but he was poisoned badly by a Tentacruel and was bound to die any minute. He stared at me with a look of mixed hatred and sorrow.
“Why… Madison?”
He was dead.
I threw myself onto the sand and cried. I cried for hours. I just couldn’t help it. I killed my only friends. They were like FAMILY to me. and I killed them.
About 5 hours after crying the Sinnoh Military came, caged me, and locked me up in a Pokemon Kennel. It was filled with tons of mad Pokemon- A rabid Growlithe, A strange Glameow that seemed to hate everyone the walked by, screeching, howling and hissing like mad, even a Tyranitar captured in a Dark Ball. I tried looking to them for help, but Growlithe only tried to bite me, Glameow only hissed at me and the rest were trying to kill me. It was awful.
That is my story, to all you trainers that have come to the kennel. Heed my words trainer- Never train Umbreons, and should you not listen, treat them with caution. That is all I can tell you, because the guards don’t want you getting bitten. It’s been about a month since that happened, and there’s a full moon out now. It’s so beautiful…
“Umbreon, the Moonlight Pokemon. When exposed to the moons aura, the rings on it’s body glow faintly and it gains a mysterious power.”
