I couldn't think of another place to upload a story for a contest on another site, so, ignore, if you want...



Kaylea woke up in a dark room. Her breathe came out in cold gasps, and her head pounded.

"Well well well, look who decided to join us."

"Hush, Fargus! I doubt you were as calm when you first arrived in the arena."

Kaylea jumped to her feet, her paws skittering on the floor.

"Great, look what you did, you scared her," someone stepped onto the light, the piercing blue eyes dissolving into the friendly gaze of a Glaceon. "There's nothing to fear, child," she said.

Another creature stepped forward, and Umbreon whose eyes glowed, guarded and closed to anyone looking in.

Kaylea looked down to her paws, and her ears twitched. The familiar feeling of leaves swished, and she began to breathe a little calmer. whoever these people where, they hadn't hurt her.

"The Trainer has a Leafeon now...guess the packs complete." The Umbreon muttered, swishing his tail.

"What...where am I?" Kaylea asked, her back still against the wall.

The Glaceon smiled sadly, "You're in the arena." She stepped forward, but Kaylea flinched away, causeing her to back away again. "We wont hurt you."

"Yeah, but the others might..."

Fargus, shut your mouth!" The Glaceon spun to Fargus in fury. "We don't need to scare her! Everything will be explained, in due time." She turned back to Kaylea.

"What does he mean, others?"

"Like I said, child, in due time. I am Ventus. This rude creature next to me is Fargus."

Fargus sighed his tail again. "I suppose we just call you 'Leafy?'"

Kaylea stood a little taller, coming away from the wall. "I'm Kaylea."

"Ah, how wonderful." Ventus smiled, "now I will explain about the arena a bit, so that you're not scared-"

"Is she awake yet?" A bouncy voice called from outside a flap of cloth. It hung over the only opening of the room, so Kaylea assumed it was the door.

Ventus sighed, "Yes, Flere, I suppose, but I was trying to-"

"Sweet!" The cloth peeled away and entered a Vaporeon, smiling and sliding in as graceful as all Vaporeon were known to be. "Oh, look! She's so beautiful!!!"

Kaylea looked to Ventus, then to Flere. "Um...hello..."

"Flere, we were trying to talk. Do you mind waiting outside the-"

"Oh, she's awake?" another voice sounded outside of the doorway, the voice wistful and tender.

Ventus groaned, "Look, guys, I'll just bring her out there, alright? Run off!"

Everyone who had come in left, Fargus trailing after them. Ventus stayed, and Kaylea looked to her confused. "Where...did all these eeveelutions come from?"

Ventus smiled, "Well, that's what I've been trying to explain, sweet." She sits, her tail wrapping effortlessly across her paws. "This is the arena, where pokemon are pitted against each other in deadly battle..."
