"Now, about that information..." The scruffy man starts as he leads us away from the war zone that is the lobby. "Sylveon is a relatively new Eeveelution, and because of this, a lot about it is currently unknown."

"Well, what DO you know?" I chime in.

"We know it's a fairy type Pokemon, and it's relatively hard to get your hands on. For starters, there's no stone to evolve it. And there's no specific area to go to to evolve it either, like you would with a leafeon or glaceon."

"So- how does it evolve?" Ash asks, cocking his head to the side.

"Basically, it has to trust you, one hundred percent. You need to have a special bond with the Eevee or it won't evolve into it. That's what is so special about Sylveon. If you can manage to evolve it, it will trust you forever."

"So what you're saying is you need to become 'besties' with the Eevee in order for it to evolve into a Sylveon?"

"Yeah that's the short of it. That's really all we know, the rest well.. that's for you to find out."

I turn to the gang. "Well guys, it looks like this journey won't be easy. We should probably lay low until we get to the next city, maybe there we can find an Eevee and get started on trying to befriend it!"

Everyone agrees and looks wary, but ever so excited. I turn back to the man. "Thank you so much for the battle and the information! It really is a huge help. How do you know all of this?"

"Let's just say I do my research. Anyway kids, I'll see you around. Happy Eevee hunting!" The man starts to walk off.

"Wait!" I exclaim, "Who are you?"

"Call me Sycamore." He shouts as he walks away, fading into the crowd. Ash's face lights up.

"That was Professor Sycamore? How did I not recognize him?!"

"Who's that?" I question.

"Only the leading research scientist for the Kalos region! I had no clue he'd be here. I never met him when I was in Kalos, although I know he's quite the busy guy..." Ash trails off.

"Yeah he's giving me serious daddy vibes not gonna lie.." Chimes Misty under her breath. I pretend not to hear it.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's enjoy our time on the S.S Anne while we're here! We can worry about Bill's request when we've docked." I motion for the gang to follow me, and our adventure begins once again.

The rest of the trip consisted of everyone stuffing their faces full of pokepuffs and tons of intense battles.

The two days went by in a flash! And suddenly, we dock.

As I step off of the S.S Anne, I'm greeted by a smog so thick it could suffocate a man.

"Guys... where are we?.." Brock trembles.

"As Dorothy once said, were not in Kansas anymore.." I reply, staggering through the fog. The town is silent, too silent.

Suddenly, a hand grabs my shoulder, leaving me screaming.

"Miss, go back to the boat while you still can....There's ghosts around here." A weary voice calls out to me from the white abyss.

I gulp. What is this place?

However this story still means the world to me and I'm definitely gonna keep writing it, just at my own pace so I don't go insane lmao! Hopefully, you all understand.

I know this kinda short too, but consider this a little late Christmas gift for those of you who are still with me through all this time 💕

Here's to a great 2019 for all of us!

Happy reading,

(P.S. it's been 3 years EXACTLY since I started this story, isn't that crazy?)
