A random encounter

Seth was walking down the path with al of his little friends easily keeping up with him. For the first time in a long time Seth had some idea of were he was going he was heading to Aria Town. He had heard that it was the home of the flying-type gym. Seth him self had really no intention on fighting in the gym but he thought that he may as well go to see what the gym was like sense there wasn't much else he really had to do.

Soon the town came into view. Furret as soon as the town came into sight started to speed up a little stopping every now and then to let the others keep up with him as always excited to go and meet new people. Pumpkin seemed for the most part indifferent to it looking all around the surrounding area only taking a glance or two to the town as they walked. Spice started walking closer to Seth as they got closer to the town not looking forward to being around a lot of people again. "Well at lest we all will be able to take a break from all this walking soon. Maybe we will find some were to rest for a bit or a nice little spot to camp. If were lucky we even mite find some thing to do besides site seeing." Seth said mostly muttering to him self thinking of how long it had been sense they had taken a few days to relax from all there walking.

Water and suds spilled over the edge of the basin as the two Eevee played. Elena giggled a bit at them before grabbing a brush to comb through a third Eevee's newly washed fur. Mizu, her Vaporeon, used Water Gun to rinse off the first two Eevee in their bath. They jumped out and shook the water out of their fur, showering the researcher with droplet of water. All she could do was laugh. It was such a beautiful day, and her spirits were up since Professor Hazel's arrival. Everything was getting back on track, her research could begin once more.

She stared off into the distance, following Aria Village's main road as it reached for the horizon. Soon, she didn't know when, but soon, someone would come. She just had to have patience. Eden, her lovely new Breezeon, hovered above her and nuzzled her hair affectionately, as if to ease her worries. Everything would work out. Her dream would be lived out.

Not two seconds after this last thought, Elena saw a few figures coming up the road. They appeared to be a human and his accompanying Pokemon. Being the friendly person that she was, the researcher waved her arms in the air in greeting, forgetting that she still held the brush in one hand.

“Hello there! Welcome to Aria Village!” she called out. “It's a beautiful afternoon, wouldn't you agree? Why don't you take a break over here at the research center?” Everything was falling into place.

Seth waved back and stopped hearing the voice but he did not reply right away looking at the breezeon a bit confused never seeing one before but from just looking at it he could tell it was some sort of Eevee evolution. He had thought he had know them all already but clearly he was mistaken. "If you are offering sure I think we all could use a little break. My name is Seth by the way." He said turning his attention to Elena after gathering his thoughts.

Spice was staying vary close to Seth standing behind his legs just barley looking around him to tack a few glances up at Elena & breezeon but quickly hid again when looked at her self. Pumpkin sat down beside Seth looking up mostly at the breezeon her head tilted to the side her eyes looking kind of blank as if she was lost in thought and her tail slowly going back with a some what whip like movement curving as it reached a end. Furret as always being the attention hog ran right up to Elena and sat up on his back paws and gave a wave to her with his little arms trying to get attention.

The researcher giggled and waved back at the little Furret, amused by its ways of attracting her attention. She turned her attention back to the young man. “It's nice to meet you, Seth. I'm Elena Dahlberg, owner of the Eeveelution Research Center,” she introduced, holding out her hand to him. Eden floated down over them, hovering right in front of Seth's face. “And this is Eden, my Breezeon!” Elena giggled. “Thanks to the help of a trainer who agreed to help me in my research, I was able to discover this beautiful Eeveelution. That's actually my goal, to discover them all!”

She reached up and tickled the Breezeon under her chin, emitting a happy cry from the Pokemon. “I've actually been hoping for some new arrivals in town. You see, I'm always looking for help when it comes to my research. Here, let me find my paperwork, I can explain it all to you if you are interested! Wait here!” Elena jumped up from the ground and ran back into the house. Searching desperately for the papers, she was glad she had not torn up or burned them as she had planned when she had given up hope of anyone coming to help her.

She returned to the young trainer with the paperwork, a clipboard, and pen. “Allow me to explain. I just need your information so that I can keep track of any information you come across that may aid in the evolutionary process of Eevee. I ask you to take one of my Eevee with you on your travels, and you try to discover a way to make it evolve. Myself and a few others are also working like this. If you find anything out, you just return to the research center, tell me what you have discovered, and continue on your journey! If your Eevee is able to evolve into a new Eeveelution, bring it back to the research center and I will supply you with your very own Eevee to love and evolve as you see fit.”

Elena offered the young man the clipboard and pen, her eyes pleading to him “please agree to help”. Everything was falling into place. She had to believe that. “Please, won't you help me in my research?” she asked quietly.

Seth read the papers for a bit then put them down to respond. "Yay I would like to help you out with this if I could it's pretty interesting to me. Besides it doesn't seem like it's all that much hard work for me and Pumpkin here hasn't seen another Eevee ever sense I left home I'm sure she would enjoy the company of another one on the little adventure we are on for a bit but...I don't feel like I really do much out of the ordinary. So I don't know if sending a Eevee with me will really helping you or just be a waste of your time with Pumpkin here still being a ordinary Eevee I don't think it's highly likely I'll be able to make yours evolve into something completely new. That said I still wish to help if you think I can I just wanted you to know my thoughts on it." He said to Elena

After Furret looked around for a bit he seemed to get a little board of just siting around so he started to wonder off closer to the Research Center wondering if he could find some thing for himself to do over there. Spice was siting down behind Seth only taking a few slow looks around with her ears perked up to pick up even the slightest sound out of the normal still seeming to be a little scared of the new people. Pumpkin looked all around from were she sat sniffing the air every now but her eyes looked a little clouded as if she was lost in thought about something.
