Before Fame ~ Anabel Pokémon Story

Chapter 20 - Eevee's Lament

Anabel entered Celedon City with all of her pokemon, except Eevee and Darkrai, in their pokeballs. Darkrai was still hiding in her shadow. Eevee pushed her face into Anabel's cheek and Anabel giggled at Eevee's playfulness. Anabel was grateful at Eevee being playful and she played with Eevee to help herself. Eevee grinned at her trainer as she was playful with her. Eevee swore to herself that she would never become cocky ever again. Because she was cocky, Anabel couldn't communicate with her.

Eevee never wanted to do that again and so, she promised herself that she would better herself so she wouldn't become cocky ever again. She knew that being cocky again would be her undoing and she didn't want to ruin Anabel's dream of being a great and powerful trainer. 

Eevee promised herself that she would be Anabel's protector and her go-to pokemon. Eevee wanted to show Anabel that she can be powerful without being cocky. Eevee wanted to protect Anabel from whatever the hell that shadowy thing was when it had appeared.

Eevee wanted to prove herself to Darkrai after her mistake, but she knew that Darkrai would help her reach her next level of high potential. However, she didn't want it to be given to her. She just wanted to make sure that she, herself, can handle all of that raw power she will receive later on in Anabel's journey.

As Eevee watched Anabel stare at her with worry in her eyes, Eevee knew that she had made the right choice as a pokemon that wanted a sweet and caring trainer. Anabel was everything that Eevee wanted to have in a trainer and Eevee knew that they both made each other happy. 

Happiness. She telepathically spoke to Anabel and Anabel's worried eyes softened into a relaxed gaze with a smile growing on her face. "Yes, happiness is what we have." Anabel tells Eevee, who glowed white. Anabel couldn't believe it already. She knew that Eevee would evolve soon, but she wasn't expecting for her to evolve just because Eevee was happy. Anabel then gasped when she realized that it wasn't just her happiness. It was also's Eevee happiness. Anabel had came too close to losing Eevee and she didn't want to lose Eevee like that. She cared too much for Eevee to let her go into that selfish territory. 

As Anabel watched Eevee evolve, Darkrai emerged from Anabel's shadow. He watched the scene with a warm, bright blue gaze. As Eevee gotten slightly bigger, her new cry made Anabel smile very widely. Eevee had evolved into Espeon! Espeon was a small creature that made Anabel smile in relief at Eevee's evolution. "You're a Psychic type now! How do you feel, Espeon?" Anabel asked her newly evolved started. I feel great! She answered, her voice sounding more mature.
