Chapter 1: Gathering the collection
The Jungle of the Vast Pokemon Island stretched very far across the Island, it was a portion, however, as many jungles existed on Pokemon Island. The Village of Root was nearby, and this was the southernmost part of the Island, northward were two paths, one to the Rock Village,a huge stronghold where the people are old but friendly, and tough not to mention, the other way was a more newer village, the Branch Village, it was a masterpiece, many house suspended on poles to protect against floods which occurred constantly, the middle of it was Root, a large yet peaceful Village that was powerful as well, the entire southern tip of the island was allied with each other, with ash Village literally on Mt. Smog which was in the center of this trade route got it's name a from a smoggy top of the mountain, it covered the peak of the mountain, and a huge dragon was said to have guarded the peak.
Today, two enthusiastic fellows were playing in the jungle, well rather hunting, The virus that caused rabidness in Pokemon, given the virus was a Pokemon itself, the two Pokemon, Swirls the Kecleon, and Swirly the Kecleon, two twin brothers but with opposite colorations, they were closely knit, but often bickered with each other, and kept a distance between aggravated people who protected their ears to stop the flow of incoherent babbling between the two, Swirls was holding an authentic laser gun, which unknownst to him, was a bee bee gun. Swirly had tried explaining to Swirls it was fake, and he was ripped off, but as usual did not listen and really thought he could go hunting the Virususu, the causer of rabidness in Pokemon that attacked other Pokemon, Swirls was enthusiastic to kill them. He claims many strange things Swirly will usually just shrug off.
"Tell me again WHY exactly I'm here with you in this damp dirty jungle?" Swirly impatiently demanded from Swirls.
"Because, I want these danged "diseased" things off this my island? Got it!?"
Swirly was only annoyed at Swirls again, because he thought Swirls did all of the most unnecessary things a Kecleon could do in their life in only 15 minutes by Swirls, while Swirly was the one who didn't exactly take t taking risks, especially one as big as this. Though they weren't very small anymore, and their parents had moved on, and they were old enough to live on their own, Swirly thought less of Swirls, and often had to keep him from annoying people anymore than he does himself.
"Since when did this island become yours?" Swirly questioned with sarcastic disbelief.
"It's my birthright!" Swirls answered with enthusiasm. The truly sad part about all of this is that Swirls never really realized Swirly was ever being sarcastic unless he told Swirls, but did not. Ever.
Swirls and Swirly were in the safest part of the Jungle, but certainly was not safe. It was the Safari Zone, a sun shine showered place, usually shining by the sun reflecting off the morning dew, there were a few streams here, but the only true large waterway was the Waterfall between Branch Village and Root Village, pillars rising from it's ground, it extended into platforms which had buildings and homes, add at least 3 dozen of them, all varied sizes, and you have the ancient ruins of Waterfall Village. Some time ago, it was a powerful village with a grip on all of the souther tip, two rebellion groups Root Village and Branch Village joined together to end the grimace rule of Waterfall, destroying much of it and leaving what is left of it today. It's leader died, and so did many of it's people, but descendants of the ancestor sof the time of it's rule still inhabit the ruins today. That is why Waterfall is usually stayed away from, people who cross the cliff must use the bridge near the end of it or cross and navigate Waterfall Ruins. Not many people have come to do that, and most people have not planned for it.
Meanwhile, Swirly and Swirls were heading back to the village, Swirly having it with this "joyride", insisting Swirls cease and head back, Swirls had yet to find his fun today, so he decided to go back to Root and annoy his friend Robert the Swampert, who was not too tolerant of Swirls himself, was more of a friend of Swirly then Swirls, but the two had no bad blood, so they might as well be good friends, and so they are. Swirls and Swirly had returned to the village and had began walking through the streets, walking up to the northern edge of town, where the foot of the volcano was, and walked up the stairs to Robert's house, ironic location for a Water Pokemon, but was still half Ground. As expected, Swirls unnecessarily pounded on the door, screaming "ROBERT!". It was annoying the heck out of Swirls after the first three seconds, Robert finally opened the door, and Swirls ran in, getting comfortable on the sofa.
"Hey Robert, nice you place you got here!" Swirls said as he lapped down, his hands on the back of his head, sitting comfortably, he saw a few videos on the floor and the TV on, he looked at Robert.
"Watcha doing!?"
But before Robert had a chance to wag his head in a no gesture and tell Swirls to shut up and get out, Swirly walked next to Robert, Swirls immediately got up and left out the door, grabbing and dragging along Swirly, Robert closed the door with a rather annoyed look, Swirly looked at Swirls with a tired up and thrown around look on his face, since he was forced around by his younger yet stranger brother Swirls, Swirls then got a look of intrigue on his face, like he had something up his sleeve to annoy everyone around him even more, this was pretty much the normal day for Swirly. Swirls then finally let it out.
"Let's go back into the Safari!"
True the Safari has not seen any rabid attacks yet, there was no reason one would be coming any time soon, but Swirly just couldn't control Swirls, and after thinking to himself, he had realized Swirls ran off and quickly caught up ,the two walking through the forest, Swirls and Swirly walked through the trees and shrubs, some other undergrowth, Swirls startled a few Pokemon as he went along. Then, he saw a Pikachu, in the tree, it appeared to be a girl, and it was very laid back at the moment, comfortable and eating a Pecha Berry, she was oblivious to both of their presences. Swirls looked up at the Pokemon eating, Swirly looking at Swirls looking at the Pikachu eating, Swirls just continued looking, with his annoying stare. She opened her eyes to see the two down there. She threw her eaten Pecha Berry on the ground, what was left was the root of it, and yelled quite loudly.
"This place is SO boring!"
After she was done, she had a "I don't care" look, she did not care if the whole world heard her, her attention turned to the two Kecleon standing in front of her, and a smile entered her mouth, and her eyes looked like slits, she was thinking. "Maybe I can annoy them!". She then was much more happy, and looked at the two of them with a face ready to burst with laughter, she was giggling a bit. She was ready to make a fool out of them, but before they could begin, Swirls just began talking, and in his most possible annoying tone of voice he could muster.
"Watcha eating!?"
It echoed for a second, then ceased, and the Pikachu named Mist looked rather annoyed, that she had been smited before she could even begin, so she decided to have some fun and make the both look like idiots.
"Nothin'" She managed to shrug out, then she turned her eyes to SWirly, who looked surpised right after, and Mist regained an evil smile on her face, and was almost slipping when she began talking in a VERY annoying tone of voice.
"Where ya going? Eh? Two of you? Yucky! Double the ugliness!"
Swirly shut down at that moment, and with a blank face, simply stepped back behind Swirly with disqust, and turned the other way. Nobody had noticed that the bushes near the clearing where they were babbling on all about was moving, being brushed around by something moving through the undergrowth, streacks of blue fur as it walked, it's four paws lighlty padding the ground, making little snaps with fallen rotting leaves cracking as it moved, nobody had seemed to notice until the bushes right next to them began rumbling, and an Eevee with a shy but inviting face walked out, it's eyes were green, and it looked happy, and it was happy because it had found people, but Mist the Pikachu and Swirls were still at it.
"Hello!" The Eevee said witha happy attitude, but nobody had seemed to notice other than Swirly, who was not really listening to anyone, but heard another voice from the little Eevee. After Swirls was done staring, he looked at Mist and the little Eevee, still a blank face, but it was directed to Mist, not Sam the little Eevee. But even though that was true, the young Eevee seemed a little discouraged. Then SWirly began talking again, and his next words could not annoy Swirly anymore. He looked at Swirly again.
"Swirly, why exactly did I bring my laser into the Safari?" Swirly couldn't tell if Swirls was doing this just to annoy him or if he really was this stupid, and Swirly didn't have a good idea of either of them, maybe Swirls was just an annoying person.
"You brought your bee bee gun here to try and kill Virususu." Swirly said, annoyed, and seeming a little tired from today, Mist appeared to have grabbed another Pecha Berry and began eating. Swirls did the same thing, but then just as Swirly was calming down, again he had to aggravate Swirly's nerves. Swirls still had an irritated look, now directed to Swirly, and looked forward again.
"Of course! you ever see those little buggers around? I'm in game business here! They've been ruining my Island since they set foot here!" Swirly's face then went really pale, and he got a mad look at Swirls, as this has happened before, Swirly would have to correct Swirls yet again for being an idiot.
"Darn it Swirls! This is not YOUR island!" And to add to that, Swirly slapped Swirls sharply against the back of his head, making Swirls screech an ow, and rub the back of his head, and then Swirly turned his attention to the little Eevee, and began asking it questions. Further away, but still close by, another movement in the undergrowth started, streaks of red fur flashing across the green colored plants and brown rotten leaves and dead plants, he navigated to find anyone else here, he was not very liked, and was looking around for somebody.
"Hmm, I wonder if anyone else is here." He said to himself. He continued to look around, meanwhile Swirly backed down to Sam and started asking questions about the lone Eevee, he appeared concerned, and knew it was not dangerous, he looked with intrigue.
"I've heard about a Blue Eevee that wasn't accepted among others, I saw a picture, but it was black and white, I never really believed them, are you that Eevee?" Swirly asked with curiosity, Sam's face turned a little gloom,y her ears flopping down a bit, her smile changing to a weak grin, she looked at Swirly, a little sad, but still maintaining herself, she turned to Swirly.
"Yes, and I don't have a friend either." The young Eevee was not liked by the other shunned, she was forced to wander the Safari, big as it was, there were no friendly souls to help her out in the time of need, she would often become sad, despite her cheerful disposition, the other thing she hated was when people had to point it out to her. At the same time, the face of a Red Eevee popped out of the brush and looked around at the Pokemon in sight, overhearing the conversation, he burst in and immediately joined it, sitting next to the Eevee.
"I don't have a home either, and I'm looking for a friend." He had a bit of an innocent face, and didn't seem to bright, but seemed like a nice fellow. Swirls overheard the conversation, spit out his Pecha Berry, and angrily looked at Swirly with anger in his eyes.
"You can stay with us if you want." Swirly's words seemed clear, and Swirls immediately turned red at Swirly, and was ready to burst, as he often did, he turned to Swirly, and began talking in an angry tone.
"Darn it Swirly! I'm the man of our house, you're simply the boy of it! I decide who stays or not, let me do the honors you jerk! You are free to stay with us you two." Swirls got his way, and Swirly seemed rather annoyed over Swirls yelling over such little thing,s he turned away and continued to mind himself, both Sam and Flame seemed less gloomy, but Flame still seemed sad,
"I don't have any friends, I'll never have on either..." Flame seemed rather negative, but Swirls quickly acted up in response to this, and happily told it to him.
"You can stay with us! It'll be like a sleepover, only it'll be forever! We'll have a blast!" Swirls stuck his tounge at Swirly, who tried to grab it, but missed, and Swirls was very satisfied with himself, the Pikachu having left, Swirls then looked at the two Eevees, their face shining with happiness, they apparently never experienced something like this before. Sam seemed the most joyful, Flame looking more content, but still happy, Sam cried out.
"Really? You mean it!? Thank you so much!" Flame wagged his head in a happy gesture, understanding, Swirls then began walking, signaling with his hand, urging that the two come along, Swirly then began to follow, keeping behind, knowing it was not perfectly safe, they realized that the sun was beginning to come down, but Swirls would probably stay up all night, playing around with his new roommates. Swirls was also very happy, Swirly still keeping a good look on his face, they headed toward the Village.
