Eevee hid far out of sight, cry, howling, and sobbing his eyes out. He sniffled, but every time he thought the tears stopped, they come back again. He heard footsteps walking past. He jolted and hid back, holding his breathe. The footsteps stopped, and he heard a familiar voice. "Eevee? Is that you dear?" Eevee's eyes popped open. He squeezed out from under where he was hiding. It was Tsureena, Ninetails and Azumarill! The jolted in surprise to see the state Eevee was in. "Wh-what happened?!" Azumarill asked panicked.
"Did somebody hurt you?!" Ninetails growled.

Eevee was staring down, shaking. He softly said, "Yes... emotionally!" and started sobbing loudly again. Tsureena sat in front of Eevee and hugged him to give him comfort. Ninetails and Azumarill looked on with expression of concern for their friend. After awhile, Eevee's crying quieted down a little. "Eevee?... Can you tell me what's gotten you in such a fuss?" Tsureena asked. Eevee explained in a shaky voice, "Everyone started... b-being so w-w-weird since they found out my gender. I just don't understand!" Tsureena and the other 2 were confused. "Eevee, whatever do you mean?" "I thought everyone knew Inwas a boy, and it was fine, but everyone wants me to be girl- and people are yelling, being touchy- I just wanna have fun! Be friends!" Eevee said.

Tsureena closed her eyes for a moment. She calmly told Eevee. "Well, you're group only gets together to play matchs. And, everyone else only sees you play from a far, plus you only stay a lil eevee for a while-" Ninetails cut her off and said, "So you lied?!" Eevee flinched at his friend's word. "I... I... urm." Eevee didn't know how to respond. "You had us thinking you were one gender, getting real friendly like, tricking us?!" Ninetails yelled. "What does gender have to do with friendship? Can't we just be friends regardless?" "No!" Ninetails bluntly told him. "We're a sisterhood, you can be a 'sister' if you ain't a girl!" She added. "You're excluding me?" Eevee asked in disbelief, ears flattening.

"You act like you're shocked! When you're dishonest, don't expect anyone to want to be your friend!" Ninetails yelled, turning away. Azumarill was shaking the whole time. "But, you-! Tsureena?!" Eevee cried out. Tsureena closed her eyes, and stood up. She stood beside Ninetails and commented. "Well. It's true you can't be a sister. And, I'm sorry we found out this way... Eevee." Eevee stared at them in confusion. "By the way, give me back my slash, you're getting all snotty. Should of expect a boy to be gross, and disrespect fasion. We might be tough girls, but have some tact." Eevee stood this frozen.

He had a slight smile for a second as he muttered, "Wow. Sexist thought... OK." He took the slash off, and said, "E-e-excuse me. Please." And, ran off again. His mind raced, tears poured, he wasn't focused and ran into a wall. When he opened his eyes he saw Pikachu, Azumarill and Dragapult, and his parnter were sitting around him. "Eevee are you alright?! When I saw you, and you didn't wake up, I went to get someone." Pikachu said. Eevee looked up and noticed his parnter was holding him. "I'm so happy you're saft, buddy." Eevee's partner said as they brought them in for a big hug.

Everyone else looked happy. "I worried you ran away after the big argument. You must of be scared and confused about everyone yelling at eachother, right?" They asked. Eevee tried to "explained", "No! Buddy, why are our friends being so mean and weird all of a sudden?! I thought we were closer then this, I thought could be myself around them... I thought... am I in the wrong?" Eevee trailed off thinking. Eevee's partner looked confused. "What is it Eevee? I wish I knew what you're were saying" Eevee started tearing up again. "I am not perfect. I make mistake, that make people yell at me. I forget things, sometimes I joke to far..." Eevee said quietly.

Eevee jumped out of his partner's arms, confusing them. "I wish I was perfect. I wish I couldn't upset people. Then could I enjoy life? Could I have friends?!... Could I presue my goals? I just wanna be me... but I don't think 'me' is a good Pokemon. I don't wanna be hurt... It's sucks to yelled at, or scolded. But, I hate it more if I hurt people or Pokemon. I wish I was a better individual, then no one would be hurt or upset." Eevee sobbed, tears welling up til they were overflowing, nonstop. Eevee partner started on sadly, hand hesitantly reaching out. Wanting to say something, but unable to.

Azumarill nervously spoke up, "E-eevee? I don't mind what gender you are. I like you as friend regardless... I'm... sorry though. -I should of said something! I-I-I don't know why I didn't. Actually, yes I do... I am a coward that's why..." she said as she solemnly lowered her head. Eevee looked wide eye, he told Azumarill, "Don't you ever call yourself that! Everybody get scared! It was a tense moment, I don't blame you for not knowing what to do!" "B-b-but, I'm a bad friend; I didn't help you because I was scared..." Azumarill said softly, turning away. Dragapult hovered over. He spoked, "Eevee, Azumarill. No one is perfect. Perfect is a unrealistic standard to hold people/Pokemon too." His dreepies chirped in confirmation.

"You say you are a bad Pokemon, yet bad individuals don't have remorse, they don't think about who they hurt. Both of you do clearly care about eachother's feelings. Even in a time of distress, or at the cost of putting your ownself down." Dragapult added. The dreepies chirped happily. Pikachu jumped right in, "Yeah! Eevee, I knew for a long time, and I never cared. You knows why? 'Cuz you are my best friend. Gender never change how you treated me. Doesn't change our great memories. You always been a great Pokemon; hard working, playful, thoughtful, loyal."

"The others don't seem to think that..." Eevee mumbled. Dragapult asks, "What did they say?" Azumarill told him, "They felt gross being that close to a boy, they assumed Eevee had malicious attentions for how he presented himself." "-That's ludicrous! I only did what made me feel happy and comfortable! I never wanted to hurt anyone!" Eevee ranted at Azumarill. "Eiyee! I'm sorry! I'm just the messager!" Azumarill exclaimed startled. Eevee realized he got defensive there, and apologized. Dragapult sighed, and said, "That's a hard pill to shallow. There are some who do wrongful things to others. Stooping so low. It's understandable some members of the female gender would have a guard up; it comes from a place of fear though- a natural thing. Sometimes males and females can do nasty things, even to though who trusted them."

Dragapult looked down at them, realizing he's rambling. He cleared his throat and simply said, "Don't worry Eevee, you did nothing wrong though. People can act in extreme ways out of fear, but you did nothing wrong actually." Dragapult grinned. Eevee looked at him confused and asked, "Uh, why are you emphasising 'you' so much-?" "Anyways, the team is all better now, and the it's time for us to continue. How do you feel Eevee?" Dragapult asked, smiling. Eevee looked at all his friends around him. He he slowly breathed. He took a deep breathe and faced the way of the stadium. "Ok. Ok, I'll keep going." he said confidently.

Dragapult smiled proudly. Pikachu cheered, and hugged Azumarill, freaking her out. Eevee's partner tilted their head. "Uh, Eevee? Are you done? Are you ready to keep fighting?" Eevee faced them, and nodded with a little cry. As the group returned, the team was waiting for them. They all looked happy to see them, and ran over. They all chatted and smile, same as always. Eevee looked nervous, smiling. The guy from earlier kneel down and said, "It's great to have you back, boy. I'm sorry." He hesitantly reached out a hand. Eevee smiled, and ran his head under his hand. The guy squealed, and said, "Eee! Aw, so cute!" Everyone laughed, and some commented how he always admired Eevee.

Eevee's team didn't win the tournament, they didn't even make it to the winner's circle's top 4! But... they everyone stuck to the end, and had fun. Plus, they made it pretty far regardless. And, they all went out for ice-cream as a team.
