Silver Chapter 2 “Returning home”

Akito's POV

The next day they woke up at around 9:00 judging by the suns position “Nnghh” Akito grunted as he stretched but despite his dark typing he wasn't bothered by the bright sunlight“hey you're finally awake” said Satoru cheerfully “So Satoru which way do you live?”asked Akito “Umm I think it was that way”replied Satoru gesturing northwest“Well, lets eat and then well go” said Akito as he picked whatever berries were left on the bush. It was a small meal but it was better than what they had given them while they were in captivity. After finishing they got up and started heading Southwest deeper into the forest “So, what's your family like” inquired Akito “Well there's my Mom who's a Glaceon and there's my dad who's a Leafeon”he answered “Do you have any brothers or sisters?”asked Akito “Nope” replied Satoru cheerful as always “Any friends?” as soon as the words left his mouth Akito regretted it almost instantly the Eevee looked down at his paws depressed “No everyone avoids me and calls me a geek or a nerd” he said sullenly “Well you shouldn't pay attention to them, besides its the smart people who can change the world” replied Akito trying to comfort the Eevee “Do you think I could do that” Satoru said excitedly “Sure you are pretty smart for your age”said Akito “(it seems the kid has some bully problems, I'll have to fix that)”thought the Umbreon “(huh that's strange when did I start caring about him this much)”he realized “I think we should make camp for the night” said Akito “here seems good” he said as they passed a hollow log “stay here I'll look for some food” said Akito to the Eevee as he left to find food after walking a while he smelled something good Akito opened his mouth to get a better whiff and he soon pinpointed the source, a Rattata he dropped into a crouch and he carefully started advancing towards his paws barely making any noise but he stepped on a twig and it made a loud “SNAP!” the Rattata detected him and tried to flee “I must be out of practice” he thought as he ran after it soon reaching it and finishing it of with a bite to the neck he started carrying it back to the log and when he got to it he heard Satoru gasp “what is that?!” he said staring at the dead Rattata “Food” Akito grunted through the prey then he dropped it in front of Satoru “Eat up” he said but Satoru just stared at it he he shrugged and started eating Satoru kept staring but eventually hi hunger won out and he joined in “Wow! What is this”he exclaimed “Huh? You're acting like you've never tasted meat...No you're not telling me that.” “I've never eaten meat” “What!!” shouted Akito “My dad doesn't hunt and I just never though of it much I guess”Satoru replied “What species is your dad again?”Akito asked “He's a Leafeon”replied Satoru “Oh well that explains it”said Akito ,Leafeons being the eeveelution which rarely ate meat,“Come on let's get some sleep” he said crawling into the log soon Satoru joined him and they fell asleep

The next day they Akito woke up with a nagging pain in his shoulder “(It's probably just an ache)”he thought as he shook some grass from his fur he woke up Satoru hunted for more food this time a Starly which he caught easily despite the now dull throbbing pain in his shoulder and they continued traveling it was a little after noon when Akito caught a scent “Someone was here recently” he said Satoru inhaled deeply then concentrated for a few seconds before he jolted upright “That's my dad!!”he exclaimed joyously “Well what are we waiting for” said Akito “Lets go!” then they started running and soon the scent got stronger and they quickened their pace and before long they reached a den that was in what used to be a human building of some kind “That's my house!” said Satoru happily running up to it then a Glaceon come out “Satoru!” she exclaimed “You're alive!!” “Where were you, we looked everywhere oh who's this” she said noticing Akito he was about to respond when Satoru said “He's Akito he helped me get back home” “Is this true?”she questioned Akito nodded not being able to find the words “I-I guess I'll be going then.”he stammered “What why?” Satoru asked obviously sad “Because I don't think your family would like to keep someone like me” he replied then a Leafeon appeared from around the corner “Who are you what did you do to our son” he growled while using swords dance “Relax honey. He's the one that brought him back”the Glaceon said calming the Leafeon “I'm sorry I've just been tense since he disappeared” the Leafeon apologized “No it's fine I was just leaving” Akito replied “No please stay it's the least we could do” insisted the Leafeon “No I couldn't bother you that much”said Akito as he turned to leave then almost immediately after the nagging pain in his shoulder flared up again “(Oh shi-)” he wasn't even able to finish the thought before he passed out “help me” he heard telepathically “Satoru when did you learn to” “No it's....,help im” he heard the voice stop and saw an image flash in his mind a room that was in disrepair with a strange device in the center both obviously human made.
He woke up in a room on a nest “(Where am I)”he thought then he remembered passing out “Hey you,re awake” he heard Satoru say cheerfully “What happened” he asked “You passed out from the poison in the cut. If you had left you could have died” said the Eevee unable to mask the concern in his voice “How did I get here” Akito asked “My dad brought you in and then my mom treated the wound”responded “Did you” “No I haven't told them anything yet” said Satoru almost reading his mind. Then the Leafeon walked into the room “I'm glad to see you're alive,I never even got to thank you” said the Leafeon “How long was I out” “One day, and Satoru wouldn't leave your side for a second. He seems worried are you sure you're all right?”the Leafeon sounding very concerned and somewhat relieved. Akito was surprised for three reasons one why had they helped him, two how could he have been stupid enough not to realize he was poisoned after all he had been slashed by a Toxicroak,and three what was that dream, it felt like it was... important. He kept pondering this while the Leafeon helped him out of the room he limped over to what seemed to be the living room and saw the Glaceon storing berries in the next room “Oh he's up” she said “(I thought that they weren't going to be nice)”he thought when the Glaceon asked“why are you so skinny.”the Glaceon asked“Well I haven't had a decent meal in over a year”he answered  “Also umm, your rings aren't yellow did you get your shininess from one of your parents”asked the Leafeon “I don't know my mom wasn't shiny and my Dad...” replied Akito the question bringing back painful memories “So what happened where were you two”asked the Leafeon “well I got lost in the woods and...”said Satoru as he began recounting their journey leaving some things out on purpose “But why did they capture you” the Glaceon asked “I don't know they said something about test subjects”was Satoru's reply “that's strange what for”the Leafeon asked” “I don't know”replied the Umbreon “well why don't we get some lunch” said the Glaceon thankfully leaving the topic alone. as they ate the berries the Leafeon said “were running low on food I'll go into town to buy some later” “No I can go if you prefer” replied Satoru “No after going through all that you shouldn't have to bother yourself with” “Huh why?”asked Satoru “Because you might get lost again” said the Glaceon “If you'd like I'll go with him ” replied Akito they seemed to consider it for a moment then the Leafeon said “well I can't argue with that you've proven your responsibility already,but it's getting late you should go tomorrow instead”
