Auburn (Flareon)

A chilly autumn wind blows as you walk the scenic forest trail home. Your jacket isn’t doing as good of a job at keeping you warm as you had hoped it would. Suddenly, you spot a golden tuft of fur lying in the forest clearing. Curious, you go to investigate and find a young male flareon lying on the forest floor. It only recently evolved, as evidenced by its tired state, but the scarf wrapped around its body is a clear sign it’s already been abandoned, because trainers will often leave something with their scent on it with their pokemon so they don’t panic or try to follow them when they walk away; it’s like a twisted false promise of return. Unfortunately, this is unsurprising in the pokemon universe. Flareons are notoriously the weakest eeveelution, and yet they require the most care: only eating their food cooked, and needing their golden manes and bushy tails brushed regularly. …But you have to admit, on this chilly afternoon, the heat radiating from the fire-pokémon’s fur is rather enticing. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to tuck him into your jacket on the way home.
