"Oh sweetie! I'm glad you're here!", the dark green leafeon exclaimed, and walked up to Outis's side. She smelled good, being a kind of pokemon that would make perfume with their scents. "We were just going to eat! Would you like to join us!" she smiled. Outis stared in confusion, his own mother never called him the word "Sweetie" before.. What has happened to her? - and her trainers?

"C'mon! I expect an answer..." Patunia said, her voice town changing to be lower.. "Ok.." Outis mumbled. "Great! Just sit down here, and start eating!". The leafeon practically picked the small evee up, setting him on a spot on the rough cyan carpet, putting some food on a white glass plate near him..

Through further inspection, the food the others gave to him, had some bluish greenish powder on top, with a faint smell of garlic and fish.. Though Outis was suspicious of the bowl of kibble in front of him, he was hungry.. Very hungry.. He looked around at the leafeon, and the man watching him intently, their eyes glued on him..

The evee felt terribly uncomfortable, giving a quick glance to the food, and then looking around at the eyes watching his every move. "C'mon, take a bite!" his mother encouraged. "Take a bite.."

Outis had a bad feeling.. A very bad feeling.. He wanted to run away, he wanted to teleport away somehow.. But he was too intimidated, and hungry.. He nibbled at the kibble, and then the fruit.. His appetite got to the best of him.. The food tasted good..
Really good...

He chomped away at the food, not stopping at all.. He looked like a rabbit dog, that hasn't eaten in years.. Well, he sort of was one-
The evee quickly glanced up with his forest green eyes, and saw his mother, and the trainer smiling.. Did they care about him..?
Outis felt happiness and hope bubbling inside him.

Outis devoured the food completely, licking any crumbs, or juice from the fruit that could be left over.. The result of the food was a happy looking evee, with a content smile and a wagging tail.

"Ohoho you actually ate the whole thing!" his mother mused. Outis puzzled at this sentence, not sure if it had a deeper meaning. "Yea?" Outis replied, wanting to respond somehow. The evee caught the leafeon cringing a bit at Outis's response.

The trainer already left a while ago, but as the human was leaving, he was slightly snickering. "I wonder what that was about.." Outis thought. "Well, you should go to sleep right now! Outside!" the leafeon exclaimed, getting Outis out of his thoughts, and dragging him out of the door. "Wait-" Outis muttered. They both were already outside from Petunia's shoving. "Wait what?" his mother asked.

"C-can I sleep in here?-" Outis muttered..

"Oh you young evee.." the leafeon shook their head. "She didn't even remember my name.." Outis thought to himself. "You can't sleep in here.. Uh.." the leafeon thought for a second. "There's mice! Yeah there's mice in here! You wouldn't like it in here because of the mice!" the leafeon nodded quickly..

"But there's mice out her-" Outis pestured, but then got the response of the front door shutting in his face, and the faint smell of his mother's perfume..

The evee stared at the door, mustering up his hope that the door will open again, just for him.. But after waiting about five minutes, nothing... Nothing happened.. He waited ten minutes.. Still nothing..

He sighed, thinking the food was at least enough to be grateful for, and walked off, trying to find a good place to rest..

The evee awoke to a pain in his stomach.. It was the middle of the night, and he felt, pain.. It hurted.. It hurted! Outis whined, gripping his small belly with his small forearms.. He coughed a lot, and all that could be heard that night was painful sounding hacking.

The evee looked at the ground and his paws.. It was hard to see in the darkness of the alley around him, but he can see the faint glisten of a thick scarlet colored liquid.. It was blood..

"H-how did this happen" Outis panicked.. He was visibly shaking. He still felt pain.. It became too unbearable to stand.. He lied down to try to make the pain feel less painful, but it didn't work.. He coughed up more blood, and closed his eyes trying to sleep, but it was hopeless.. He couldn't sleep in this pain..

He couldn't stand this, he grabbed the nearest rock, large enough to actually hurt him.. He banged it hardly on his head, hoping it will knock himself out..
