Earlier:

Rio Gasped as he was tired from fighting. People stared as he looked around. He picked up Zero and carried her into a medical building… She was taken to a back room

and time passed.

Now:

The Light turned from red to green, Positive. Zero was guided out by the doctor who gave a warm smile to rio. "What happened?" The doctor asked Rio.

"Electrical shock," Rio said in response scratching the back of his head.

"I see…" The doctor said handing Rio a bottle of pills. "Nyrothenium, It helps with stress caused by said electrical shocks."

"Thank you sir," Rio said extending his hand to give the doctor a hand shake.

"Your very welcome sir," The doctor responds in kind shaking his hand.

"I-i feel strange," Zero says shakily.

"Probably from the shock Zero" Rio says in a calm voice and taking her hand to help her balance.

"Glad that I have your help Rio," Zero says gently as small furs appear on her face.

"Zero…" Rio says as he touches the fur on her face.

"I Feel fuzzy now," Zero says as she grows smaller and is knocked out.

"Oh no this can't be good," Rio says in a shocked voice as he calls out to the heavens her mothers name, "VERITY!"

Verity appears with a worried expression as rio called her. "What happened," she says as she looks down as zero and gasps. "What how?" she responds to Rio's call as she looks terrified at Zero.

"She suddenly changed I have no idea how or why," Rio responds in a quick voice.

"I guess she'll have quite a shock when waking…" Says verity as she gently rubs the now transformed eevee's ears.

"I guess so…" Rio responds as he watches as she stirs

"Let's let her wake up first" Verity says to rio as they both back up as she wakes up and looks around.

"Ugh where am I," Zero says confused as she looks around curiously head tilted.

"Your in the medical center…" Rio says concerned.

"Why is everything smaller?" Zero says now…

Rio's expression becomes horrid and says that she's become an eevee.

"WHAT!" Zero yells loudly and looks into a mirror a silver creature staring back at herself. "I…

Don't know what to do… she says with a cry"

Rio picks up zero and she whines… "Put me down…"

Rio gently rocks the eevee in his arms as she struggles… "Calm down Zero you'll be alright…"

"Do you really think so?" Zero says sadly.

"Yeah…" Rio says happily.

"I'm so scared right now…" Zero says sadly as she looks up at Rio and paws at his face.

Rio laughs and giggles~ "Zero stop it…"

Zero smiles up and giggles gently, "This new body feels super fuzzy" she says happily.

"Really now?" Rio says confusedly as he rubs her ears.

"Y-Yeah" she says and shivers before letting out an unintentional purr from the ear rubs.

"Zero!" A familiar voice rings out as she feels the arms of her mother grab her.

"Mom?" Zero is instantly confused.

"Zero What happened to you?" She says in a slightly worried and shocked expression…

"I don't know it happened suddenly I'm still getting used to it…" She says with a head tilt before purring.

"I hope you don't stay like that" She says… Worriedly.

"I hope not either though I'd be able to reach the forest earlier…"

"Forest?" Zero's mother says before a ring from her pocket occurs and she picks up the phone.

"Can it wait a minute?" she says with a sigh…

(Received message beginning)

*No*

"Why not"

*Problems at base*

"Ugh fine be there in a hour"

*We need you here now*

"Busy with Zero"

*I see be quick V is here*

"Really well I'll be there in 30m instead"

*Very well Verity*

"Thank you auros."

(Received message end)

"Auros?" Zero says quietly, "I've heard that name in my dreams." She says with another head tilt.

"You have?" Zero's mother says with a gasp.

"Yeah something about aura and how to use aura sight."

"I see, pay no mind to his name as he isn't really important at the moment."

"By the way Ali(formal name for Zero's mother when more than one person is around), We got attacked on the way here by someone."

"Really? What did they attack you with?"

"Wind and lightning."

"Name?"

"He called himself Lyre."

"Great He's out again."

"What do you mean?"

"Lyre is a criminal wanted for murder."

"Ohhhh that's not good"

"I'll call up and have them capture him"

"Lyre?" Zero asks confused again.

"He's evil and will be trying to capture you Zero" her mother says.

"Eep…" Zero whines and bolts into rio's arms shivering.

Rio rubs along Zero's back comfortingly. "It'll be alright…"

"Really?" Zero asks worriedly

"Mmhmm~" Rio responds while rubbing her ears and forehead before planting a gentle kiss~

Zero purrs happily before her eyes grow heavy and she falls asleep.

"Maybe you should have watched her Rio," Ali says with a giggle.

"Maybe so… But she's not mine… Rio giggles and sits back on a chair and let's Zero rest.

Zero yawns and licks Rio's Face a bit curling up beside him.

"She's so Adorable like this" Rio says and pets along her back and tail.

"Yes but we must change her back from this and apply a stronger seal. I'm surprised it broke anyways."

"Hmmm… I wish I could keep her as is… She'd be like a cat."

Ali's eyes go slim as she looks at Rio with a lazy look, "She is a cat…"

"Oh… Right XD I forgot because she's always in human form." Rio says with a giggle as he pets Zero while she purrs.

"How do you feel right now Zero?" Her mother asks as Rio pets her.

"I'm feeling A-Alright," Zero responds shivering.

"Lies," Xero says to Zero in her head.

"Shut up Xero," Zero says back to him in her head.

"So... Ali how long will she be like this," Rio says in a calm voice as he rubs her back.

"Probably a month or two for the seal to reform," Ali says.

"We better keep her safe then..." Rio says as he falls asleep holding Zero close.

"For the best future to come," Ali Says to Rio as Zero sleeps quite peacefully.
