“Whoa! He’s a pretty boy!” She admires Tenebrae’s shiny silver coat. Her heart subsequently melts as the small Eevee curls up into a ball of affection in Nate’s arms. It must trust Nate a lot already if it’s so at ease in the hold. Hopefully, she and her new partner can grow that close too.
She’s taken aback as Nate introduces her as ‘mama’. It makes sense, all things considered, but it doesn’t make her blush any less. She stifles her embarrassment with a shy little laugh and then holds out her hand for Tenebrae to sniff. Sparked by curiosity, her own Eevee jumps up to her shoulder and peeks at her brother, ears perked.
Rosa tilts her head to smile at her. “That’s right, the two of you are always gonna be close! You can play with Tenebrae whenever you want!” She then flicks her eyes up to Nate. “I’m so glad that we can keep the two of them together. I bet this transition has been a lot less stressful since they have each other.”
Rosa’s Eevee suddenly trills and jumps over to Nate, leaning over his shoulder to playfully bat at her brother. “Whoops, there she goes!” Rosa laughs.
“I’m feeling the name ‘Aline’ for her.” It means bright and beautiful, and it matches her hopes for an Espeon one day. “What do you think?”
The silver Eevee looked at Rosa with curiosity as it gave a gentle sniff of her finger, retreating back into the comfort of Nate’s arms. It was warm and smelled like home to him for some reason that neither he nor his trainer would ever understand. Something about them just clicked instantly together. Nate’s father instincts kicked into high gear as well, him having to hold back the desire to spoil them, treat them more like a pet--but there were other goals in mind, and he was sure that Tenebrae would agree with him in time. They were a Pokemon, and they loved the thrill of battle--most of the time.
With the other batting at its brother, Tenebrae carefully leaped down from Nate’s arms and started to run around a tree, looking over to his sister, kicking a small amount of sand, and running around it once more as if calling her over.
“I think Aline is a fine name. I wonder what the reason is. Tenebrae is a servant of darkness. Actually part of an entire myth really. Eight spirits controlling different types: Lumen of light, Ventus of wind, Aqua of water, Ignis of fire, Glacies of ice, Tonitrus of lightning, Solum of earth, and Tenebrae of darkness. Times have changed to give some of those elements different names like wind to Flying or light to Fairy, but they all have the same meaning. These spirits were worshiped by people in hopes that certain conditions could be kept. This was long long ago though, thousands of years, way before even the heroes who founded Unova or the Ultimate Weapon. Eventually though, humanity grew too powerful and--” He had a few theories as to which Pokemon these were, but he felt he might be boring Rosa with this little legend he’s read up on.
“Ah, I’ll quit boring you with this. Look at those two play!” Nate wasn’t sure how interested Rosa would be in ancient legend and myth. After what he has seen, some of those legends were certainly true so why couldn’t this one be? If only people knew about the other types back then, what else would they have worshiped? He really wants to go to Sinnoh and read in their library that has all this information.
