The Unseen and Unheard Sectors

*A Chinchou and many other students sit on a chair inside a classroom, the teacher is writing some things on a chalkboard and then the bell rings.* Ms. Zirisu: "All right, class over, everyone get out, not you, you stay cross eyes, we need to talk." Johna: "Uh oh, looks like Cross is in trouble, AGAIN! Seeing you, loser." Ms. Zirisu: "I said OUT." *Everyone left the classroom, leaving only the Chinchou and a Miltank inside.* Ms. Zirisu: "Alright, your name, make it quick." Cross: "It's Cascada Evotanyl." Ms. Zirisu: "Makes sense why no one calls you that, why do you even have such a complicated name? Alright, doesn't matter, is it true what we heard? Did you or did you not fight with one of your classmates?" Cross: "Of course I did, he deserved it, he is the one who started the whole Cross name. I never liked it, and yeah I know my eyes look like a cross, I know that's the whole point, but I have a name, you know? Even you, you should try to at least respect it." Ms. Zirisu: "That is no way to talk to a teacher, if you keep this up I'll personally make sure you are expelled from this school, Cross." Cross: "At this point, do it, I don't even care!" *The Chinchou pushes all things off his desk and crosses his fins.*

*Inside what looks like an underwater park, a Finizen is waiting, a Chinchou arrives with a seaweed bouquet, the Finizen is surprised.* Abby: "Oh gosh oh gosh, are those for me?" Cross: "It says right here that this is for the most beautiful, the cutest and the nicest Pokémon in all of the world. Which means, that it is for you! Happy second anniversary Abby!" *The Finizen blushes and accepts the bouquet, she then takes out a box and offers it to the Chinchou, he doesn't open it yet.* Abby: "I love you Cross! I prepared something special, it's in that box, I want you to go home and open it!" Cross: "You truly are the sweetest, to show you that I'm ready for something more, for a future with you, I got this." *The Chinchou shows a Rare Candy, the Finizen grabs it right away, taking it away from him.* Cross: "W-What are you doing? I'm, ready to evolve, if in the future we have children, they can't carry these ugly eyes-" *The Finizen interrupts him, putting her fin on his mouth, she grabs the box she gave him and opens it, revealing an Everstone.* Abby: "Cross, your eyes are beautiful, you are beatiful just as you are, I don't want you to change for me, for anyone, I want to wake up by your side and be able to look at those eyes, the eyes of the Pokémon I fell in love with. I would be happy having children with eyes as beatiful as yours."

*There's a Palafin moving around an underwater kitchen, she is holding a small plate which she places on a table, there's a Chinchou sitting near.* Cross: "Babe, that smells delicious, I can't wait to try it!" Abby: "Oh thank you! You always know what to say. ARROYO! LUNCH IS READY!" Arroyo: "Coming mom!" *A small Finizen comes from upstairs, his eyes are like that of a Chinchou.* Arroyo: "Mom this looks amazing, I swear, you have to open a restaurant or something, your skills are being wasted here." Cross: "If them being wasted means we get such good meals, might as well waste it some more!" Abby: "You two, don't say that, I don't think anything is being wasted, I'm happy with how things are." *The Finizen finishes his meal and then grabs a cap, putting it on.* Cross: "Slow down there, you almost choked trying to eat so fast, why are you in such a rush? Oh, could it be a pretty lady?" Arroyo: "W-What, n-no, no what lady?" *The Palafin hands the Finizen a small backpack.* Abby: "Don't forget this, I prepared it for everything, in case you stay at her house, just don't do anything dir-" Arroyo: "MOM! I w-won't! But how did you two know?" Cross: "We always know, we have our ways, could we at least know her name?" Arroyo: "It's Mary, I think her actual name is Marianne but everyone calls her Mary." *The Chinchou and Palafin look at each other, somewhat worried but they quickly shake off their worried expression and look at the Finizen.* Abby: "Be sure to treat Mary well!" Arroyo: "Of course, mom!" *The Finizen leaves.* Abby: "Isn't Marianne the-" Cross: "Yeah, it's the Vaporeon girl, daughter of Doctor Olescen." Abby: "A Vaporeon, won't that cause problems with the family?" Cross: "If she is the one his heart chose, we need to respect it and later deal with the family, I trust the kid I raised."

Espoir: "What is such a beautiful lady like you doing in a place like this?" *An Espeon offered his hand to a Vaporeon, she was sleeping on the ground, inside a homeless shelter.* Ribera: "Why do you care? It's not like you are going to suddenly solve all my problems, why bother?" Espoir: "Because I might just solve your problems, my mother, rest in peace, was a Vaporeon just like you, she taught me a thing or two, would you like to come with me? I could teach you what she taught me." *The Vaporeon was confused but she nodded and grabbed the hand of the Espeon, they left the homeless shelter, hours became days, and those days soon became weeks and months.* Espoir: "Alright come out, I want to see you." *The Vaporeon comes out of a dressing room, wearing a long white dress.* Ribera: "This feels like wearing a coat made of hay, I hate this." Espoir: "But I like it, you'll look real pretty next to me when you wear it." *Years passed.* Espoir: "I'll name him Doré, if you had finished studying French you'd know the meaning behind it, all you need to know is that it will set him up for something great, just like me." Ribera: "I guess, if we have a daughter what are we-" Espoir: "We?" Ribera: "Right, sorry, what are you going to name her?" Espoir: "Nothing, my father's family has never had a daughter and I won't be any different, so I don't even worry about it." *Some days later, a Vaporeon walks through a luxurious house, she passes her bedroom and sits in the living room, she takes a look around.* Ribera: "Is this all worth it? When did I become, an accessory?" *The Vaporeon touches her belly and smiles.* Ribera: "With you, I'm sure it won't matter. Doré, I'll give you the life my mother never could."

Espoir: "You have been my biggest regret, Ribera, you are cursed and you are cursing my lineage, first you ruin my relationship with my father by having that thing instead of Doré." *Inside a phone booth, an Espeon seems really upset, talking on the phone.* Ribera: "It's not my fault! She's your daughter too and her name is Manantial, call her by her name! You've always been such a horrible person." Espoir: "Manantial, what an ugly name, if you had even asked me before choosing for me, she wouldn't have that mistake for a name. You are lucky that I spent so much time trying to raise her." Ribera: "YOU WEREN'T EVEN PRESENT FOR HER BIRTH!" Espoir: "Calm down woman, you are hysterical, you've always been. When I picked you up all those years ago, I expected class, obedience and respect, instead I got you. You are nothing like my mother." Ribera: "I'm alive, Espoir, I'm a person too, I deserve to say no, to have my own opinion, I'm NOT YOUR TOY!" Espoir: "No, you are not my toy, you chose to leave the house and be the toy of a random man who, unlike me, wasn't man enough to be responsible for his horrible decisions." *There was a long silence between the two.* Espoir: "Good luck taking care of your mistakes you call children, you are never seeing my face again." Ribera: "Yes, yes Espoir, I know what I did, I know I wasn't what you were expecting of me, please just, listen to me." Espoir: "I've listened to enough, you are depressing. I'll be blessed the day I'm fully free from you, goodbye." Ribera: "NO, LISTEN TO ME, LISTEN!" *The Espeon hadn't hang up the call yet.* Ribera: "YOU CANNOT LEAVE US! You need to come back! I-I made a mistake, I'm aware but I did it to get back at you, for what YOU did! Look, I was dumb and I didn't think it through. B-But we can turn this into something good, we can raise them just like we did Mana. A-And we can be a happy family still. You, you, don't leave me, don't leave u-us. I cannot do this without you. Mana needs you too, I, PLEASE COME BACK!!!" *The Espeon hangs up the phone.*

*A Weavile and an Espeon are talking together inside a car, the Espeon is driving." Wade: "Saw it with my own eyes, she's gone, fully. How does that make you feel?" Espoir: "I'm too busy living my life to think of those who left it long ago. On actual important matters, I think I've already gotten used to this new region." Wade: "You are insane man, how can you dismiss the death of your ex-wife like that? I saw your daughter, she has it really rough, it wouldn't hurt to, you know, be a father for once?" Espoir: "Cry me a river, she's not my Doré, I don't care." *The car stops at a homeless shelter, the Espeon and Weavile get off.* Wade: "No, Espoir don't tell me you are letting history repeat, have you learned nothing?" Espoir: "I'm making Doré a reality, I'm simply starting again, I've learned and I'll make sure that this time things are different, better, for me at least." *The Espeon walks inside, he finds a Jolteon sleeping on a bed near the corner, he leans down and offers a hand.* Espoir: "What is such a beautiful lady like you doing in a place like this?" *The Jolteon looks around, thinking the Espeon is talking to someone else, when she realizes she's the one he is talking to, she blushes.* Naru: "Y-You really think I'm pretty?"

*There's a massive party outside a house, it's near midnight and it's decorated with icy and snowy decorations, there's a big frozen rock right in the middle, there's an Eevee dancing to the loud music, she seems really happy.* Zack: "VIOLET!" *An Umbreon arrived to the party, wearing a formal suit, the crowd started saying things to each other, this Umbreon is someone famous, as he walked forward, everyone moved aside, the Umbreon stares at the dancing Eevee, she either didn't hear him or didn't care, she kept dancing." Zack: "VIOLET NEBULAW!" *The Eevee quickly turned around, she seemed upset, the Umbreon did too.* Violet: "What do you want? Can't you see I'm having fun?" Zack: "Fun? Don't reduce yourself to the level of these people, you are better than this, let's go home, it's really late." *The Umbreon tries grabbing the wrist of the Eevee but she moves back, shaking her head.* Violet: "No, you've bossed me around enough, I'm old enough to decide what I want, to choose my own friends, I'm not a kid anymore dad, leave me alone." Zack: "We do not belong in a place like this, if I didn't know my daughter, I would even worry about her becoming a disgusting ice type." Violet: "Ice is beautiful, you've never been able to see the beauty of it and it shows, you are such an ignorant." *The Umbreon slapped the face of the Eevee, some tears started forming on her eyes, she clenches her teeth and starts running towards the big frozen rock." Zack: "Don't you dare Violet, if you don't turn around this instant, you won't be welcome in my house anymore." *The Eevee didn't stop, she wasn't looking and tripped, before she could recover her balance she hit her head on the rock and her body started to change, she was evolving, everyone at the party was shocked, some were excited, after a flash of light, her body had changed completely, now a Glaceon, with tears in her eyes she turned around, all she saw were the shadows of those around her and her dad leaving.*

*A big line was formed at a train station, a Glaceon was counting coins, she had a sad expression on her face.* Violet: "I barely have enough for the ticket, if I skip lunch maybe I can buy something for dinner." *A Lycanroc is selling the tickets, when he passed by the Glaceon, the Glaceon buys one, she waits in line, when the doors open, everyone walks in and start taking the best seats, by the time the Glaceon enters, the only remaining seat was all the way in the back, she sat down and closed her eyes.* Violet: "Tomorrow will be better." *Hours passed, the Glaceon fell asleep and missed her stop, alongside all other stops, the train driver, a Vaporeon, was checking the seats to make sure no one forgot anything and that everyone was out, she came across the sleeping Glaceon and woke her up.* Manantial: "Wakey wakey, we reached the last stop a while ago!" *The Glaceons stares at the Vaporeon, she starts to realize just how far she is from where she was supposed to go, she crossed her arms and looked away.* Violet: "I paid for the ticket, as long as I don't get off the train the ticket should still be valid, I can't afford to buy another one, I'll just sleep here and grab the right stop next time, after the train is returning." *The Vaporeon stares at the Glaceon, confused, but then she lets out a laugh.* Manantial: "That's a first! I would allow it, but I would feel really bad if I knew I let you sleep here, it's not comfortable at all. How about this, I'll pay for your ticket, that way you can get off and tomorrow morning you won't have to worry about the ticket!" *The Vaporeon offers a hand, the Glaceon was hesitant at first but she grabs her hand and nods, a small smile appeared on her face.* Manantial: "I'm Manantial, don't forget it so you can tell others you are my special guest!" Violet: "I'm Vi- No, Vee, I'm Vee, thank you Manantial." Manantial: "Vee? If that's the case, just call me Mana, and you are welcome!"

*A Vaporeon was walking through a city full of snow, a Glaceon was following behind.* Manantial: "Yeah, of course! I know what it's like to not have a place to go, you can stay with me at the hotel!" Violet: "Mana, you are too kind, or maybe too naive, how do you know I'm not going to do anything to you? I could be a killer, a thief, I could be a-" Manantial: "But you aren't, I know you are a good person, with a good heart, you can tell when someone only wants to get things out of you, you don't seem like them! Besides, you remind me of myself in a way, and my younger brother, his name is Cass, I bet you two could be good friends." *The Vaporeon and Glaceon reach a fancy hotel, the Glaceon doesn't seem surprised but the Vaporeon can hardly believe it, both walk in and do the check in process, when they reach their room they realize it has a single bed.* Manantial: "Rock, paper, scissors to see who takes the bed and who takes the rug?" *The Glaceon let out a soft and small laugh.* Violet: "That sounds so silly, we could both sleep on the bed, it's big enough." *The Vaporeon blushed and looked away.* Manantial: "B-But we are both girls!" Violet: "...So?" Manantial: "R-Right, forget that!" *The Glaceon and Vaporeon both sat on the bed, the Vaporeon told the Glaceon about her brother, about her job, about her dreams and a bit of what led her there, the Glaceon slowly started opening up too, they found comfort on each other and hours went by, before they realized, they both ended up falling asleep next to each other, both with a smile.*

*An Eevee was born. He was bigger than his older siblings, with fur and eyes as white as snow. He was special, something his parents would quickly notice, he was a shiny alpha Pokémon, but those eyes worried his parents, soon they would learn the hard reality, he was blind. 3 years would quickly pass, the father wasn't home, the Eevee was there, alongside his mother, a couple walked into the house, a Gallade and Gardevoir, their perfume clashed against the stale smell inside the house, they seemed bothered by the lack of decoration and light, at times it was hard to breath due to all the dust in the air, they leaned down and looked at the Eevee.* Mr. Cherobon: "He looks so cute, poor child, we'll give you the best life we can." *The Eevee was confused, he didn't recognize the voice.* Mrs. Cherobon: "My name is Andrea, I've heard so much about you, I'm going to be your new mom, and Fabio, my husband, is going to be your new dad, what is your name little one?" *For a moment, the Eevee froze, he didn't understand what they meant by being his new parents, he didn't know if he should respond, his mother pushed him forward slightly, he then introduces himself.* Jonas: "My name is Jonas. I like apples." Mr. Cherobon: "Jonas, where we are going, there are many apples for you, all the apples you could want." *The door suddenly opened, a Flareon entered, he looked at the pair of strangers in his house and the way they were looking at his son.* Adam: "Hey hey you two, what are you doing in my house, who are you? Step away from my son!" *The Gallade walked forward and leaned to whisper on the ear of the Flareon.* Mr. Cherobon: "Don't make a scene please, Jonas is present, I thought you had talked this with your wife, she put Jonas up for adoption." Adam: "She WHAT?!" *The Flareon couldn't believe what he was hearing, he stared at the Jolteon, his wife and the mother of Jonas, he didn't say a word and just walked up to Jonas, hugging him and patting his head. Jonas recognized his warmth.* Jonas: "Papa." Adam: "No matter what, Jonas, I'm not letting them take you, papa is here for you." Naomi: "Adam please, we need this. A-And Jonas could have a better life, we both know-" *The father stared at her in silence, he couldn't understand or believe his wife was saying these things, she looked away, he kept holding his son, after some moments of silence, he got up and turned around to face the Gallade and Gardevoir.* Adam: "I know I'm not rich, I can't give him what you two could, but he is my son, I want him by my side, I want to protect him and make sure he grows up well, I can't trust you two, I'm sorry but it's a no." *The Gardevoir looked at the Gallade and did a weird gesture with her hand, the Gallade turned to look at the Flareon and without warning, used the move Sacred Sword, hitting him on the head, he fell down, trying to recover, his vision was blurry, the Gallade and Gardevoir talk with the mother, the Jolteon. After the pair handed her a heavy bag, they grabbed Jonas by the arm and left the house with him, the Flareon was breathing heavily, seeing the sillhouetes of the pair and his son leave his house, his hand moved trying to reach his son one last time, his hand was shaky and his body felt heavy.* Adam: "Jonas...."

*Some years had passed, a Gallade was driving a car, on the passenger seat was a Gardevoir, they talked about plans for the future, behind them, an Eevee was sitting, he was listening to the conversation.* Mr. Cherobon: "Remember, when asked by your teacher, you say Jonas Cherobon, that's your full name, in some days it'll be your first day of school. And if kids in school ask who your dad is, you say that it's Fabio Cherobon." *The Eevee didn't respond, the Gallade looked at him for a moment, he noticed that the Eevee had his eyes closed, he focused on driving again.* Mrs. Cherobon: "Poor thing, he must've been pretty tired after that trip, I don't blame him, I too would be exhausted at his age. He is really fragile, if it weren't for those eyes he would be perfect." Mr. Cherobon: "We'll figure something out to help him later, when he grows up more, for now we should start to think about who will drive him to school every day." *The couple was unaware that the Eevee wasn't asleep, he was listening, he always listened to others talk about his eyes, about his lack of sight. Words like fragile, weak, soft, he heard them every time, he wanted to cover his eyes, to hide them. There was barely any time to react, for Jonas it wasn't anything more than a loud sudden noise heading towards him. To the couple, they saw a fully black car heading towards them at full speed, crashing into them. The front part of the car with the couple was destroyed completely. From the crash, pieces of metal and glass flew into the car and some of them cut parts of the Eevee's ears, meanwhile the couple's bodies were motionless, no signs of life. The Eevee wasn't sure what had happened.* Jonas: "Cherobon... It hurts..." *A Kirlia got off of the black car that crashed into them, she checked the front seats of the car she crashed into and seemed happy." Brittany: "You get what you deserve old man, you won't be missed." *The Kirlia noticed the Eevee in the back, she smiled.* Brittany: "Jackpot, now I know how I'll be able to afford a new car." *Everything was happening so quickly, the Eevee didn't know who was talking, why she was saying all those things, he felt someone grab his ear and felt a sharp pain, the Kirlia had put a tag on him, with a price of 250, as she left to grab something inside her car, someone else arrived.* Cascada: "What the hell, what happened? Hey is anyone there, is everyone alright? I know some basic first aid, if you can hear me, say something!" *A Vaporeon had arrived to the scene, just someone who was driving by and saw the crash, he noticed the Kirlia.* Cascada: "You seem fine at least, we can talk in a moment but, that was a horrible crash, is anyone hurt?" Brittany: "Hm, oh I don't know! You should check, all of this was so sudden!" *The Vaporeon didn't realize the act the Kirlia was putting on, he turned around to check on the car, looking away for a moment, she tried to attack him, but he saw her movements on the corner of his eye and was able to barely dodge the attack, attacking back. The Eevee inside heard the fight, he wasn't sure what to do or say. Then there was a sudden feeling of soft hands holding him and pulling him. Jonas knew this wasn't either of his new parents and he could hear the fight still happening outside as he was dragged, it was someone new. He couldn't recognize this feeling, his ear was still bleeding causing him a sharp pain. He was scared, now being taken somewhere by a stranger. After a small battle between the Kirlia and Vaporeon, the Kirlia had managed to escape, the Vaporeon tried chasing after her but he heard a noise and checked one of the cars, only to find a trail of blood that led into the forest, one of the doors open and the bodies of the couple, he quickly made some calls before chasing after the blood trail.*

*A Vaporeon follows a blood trail into a forest, he seems really worried, the trail suddenly ends and he was met with a Smeargle. The Smeargle gestured to the Vaporeon to stop moving, the Vaporeon did just that.* Mira: "You did this?" Cascada: "If you mean whatever caused the blood trail, no! Of course not! I'm here to help, I know basic first aid and-" Mira: "So do I. It's best if you stay away from them, I'm not sure yet what happened or who did this. There's one thing you probably haven't noticed yet." *The Smeargle pointed up, above the Vaporeon's head, he had some unique antlers, they had blood on them.* Cascada: "OH! No, no this doesn't have anything to do with this blood, I swear." *The Vaporeon tried stepping closer, the Smeargle prepared to attack.* Cascada: "Alright alright, we don't need more violence, I'll leave if that's what you want, but please make sure whoever is bleeding gets tended to." Mira: "Naturally, now please leave." *The Vaporeon nodded and started leaving, as he went back, he grabbed a small sample of the blood. At first it was a day, then a week, then months just went by. During those months, the Pokémon inside the forest helped the hurt Eevee, he talked about wanting to hide his eyes, the Smeargle and a couple of others made a mask for him. Every week the Vaporeon kept coming back, trying to learn more, always met by the Smeargle who kept every detail a secret. The Vaporeon never gave up and kept coming back, one day he was able to finally meet the Eevee. The Vaporeon arrived earlier than usual. There was a big white creature with a brown face and fully dark eyes.* Cascada: "WHOA! H-Hey I don't mean any harm, I'm here to check on the person that was bleeding, if you ask the Smeargle, she can tell you everything." Jonas: "...Antlers? You are Antlers!" *The Vaporeon was confused, the towering figure moved slowly, he was a bit hesitant as he approached, almost like not being sure of his choice to go forward. His movement was sluggish and he kept hitting the ground with a branch he held. When he was close to the Vaporeon, he moved a hand to feel him, he seemed happy with what he felt and hugged him. The Vaporeon was confused but was able to get a good look at the creature, being this close, he was able to see that the menacing face was just a mask. It was an Eevee.* Cascada: "A-Antlers? What do you mean, who are you? You are an Eevee, right?" *The Smeargle appeared, she was amazed by what she saw, at the same time, she was worried. Keeping her distance, she spoke.* Mira: "Jonas are you alright? Did that person do something to you while I was gone?" Jonas: "No Mira, Antlers didn't do anything." *The Smeargle calmed down slightly and sat down, the Vaporeon was really confused, the Smeargle explained everything.* Cascada: "Taken away like that." *The Vaporeon looked at the Eevee.* Cascada: "I can't even imagine how traumatic that must be." *The explanation continued.* Cascada: "It's a miracle he survived, and I get it now, that's why he has the tag." Mira: "Unfortunately, yes, that's likely the reason. It's hard to make theories just based on his descriptions." *After some minutes, the Vaporeon tries to process everything he heard.* Cascada: "Fully blind?" Mira: "Correct." Cascada: "Why did you tell him of my antlers and not the fact I'm a Vaporeon?" Mira: "It was easier to explain antlers with branches than a Vaporeon with, whatever we could find here. You'd be the first Vaporeon he meets." Cascada: "I'm just happy to see he is fine and doing well. Now that that's all solved, I'll just go back and-" Jonas: "Antlers! I want to go with you!" *The Smeargle was surprised by this, so was the Vaporeon.* Cascada: "You want to come with me? But why? Don't you want to stay with Mira who has helped you?" Jonas: "...You feel like papa."
