        "Alright, enough bickering! It's training time!" Luna exclaimed, cutting off her siblings' argument. "I've gotta perfect that Fire Blast. Torch, any pointers?"

        The Flareon dipped his head. "{Always, sister. You have to call upon the flame in your spirit and truly become one with your attack. Seeing as it's so powerful, you gotta give it all you've got!}"

        Luna chuckled. "I remember saying something similar to you all those years back when you first evolved and I was training you on how to use moves!"

        Besides her teasing, her ears twitched in the breeze as she concentrated, thinking hard about all the times she would coach her brothers and sisters never to give in. The passion they shared when battling. The spirit they had when trying something new, together.

        A small flame began to form in front of her, but she didn't stop there. She thought of how Tapu Koko entrusted her with a Z-Ring and it gave her the ability to become a Pokemon from the true strength of her bond with Midnight. I understand Pokemon. Right now I am a Pokemon. I can be just as strong as my sibs!

        It grew larger, slowly stretching out to form the five-pointed Kanji, Dai (big). The Eeveelutions stared in wonder as Luna reached out, embracing the attack, before sending it rocketing away, ramming itself into a dead tree and setting it ablaze instantly.

        "Holy shit! I did it!" Luna exclaimed, awed.

        "{Language...,}" Snow Queen and Elise murmured at the same time, though both were still too busy staring at the bright flames to enforce it.

        Finally, everyone snapped out of their stupor. "{We need to put that flame out quickly, or else the fire could spread to become a huge blaze! If only Poseidon or Raven were here!}" Torch said assertively. "{Who can use any sort of Water-Type move?}"

        The two language-police Eeveelutions stepped up. "{Leave it to us,}" Snow Queen stated. Luna watched proudly as the shiny Sylveon used Rain Dance over the burning tree, weakening the flames, before the Glaceon used Water Pulse and put it out.

        As the two returned, the others cheered. "{That could've gotten bad, thanks girls!}" Midnight congratulated. The two gave their partially-human sister a stern look.

        "{You ought to be more careful when using such a powerful move, Lu,}" The Glaceon chastised. The brown, silver, and blue Pokegirl looked down.

         "'m sorry Snow, El. I know I need more training, but I'm getting better. Let's try again, with a tiny bit less passion than before, and a better target."

        "Yes! Look at me gooooooo!" Luna exclaimed as she used Quick Attack, successfully darting around her siblings with relative ease. "I can go from here-" She stopped behind Thunderclap's back, then zipped away to standing in front of Henri. "To here!"

        Torch smiled. "{Wonderful job, Luna. Every move you learned the other day has improved greatly. From me, your Fire Blast is very powerful, we all saw how your Wil-O-Wisp literally chased Snow Queen down, and your Ember practically made Amber jump out of her fur!}"

        The shiny Leafeon gave her brother a playful hiss before turning to Midnight. "{And your Dark Pulse had become much wider, and you just demonstrated Swift and Quick Attack!}"

        "{All of us know Swift and Quick Attack, Mid,}" Elise reminded her.

        "{Well yeah, but I was the one who taught her. Anyways, we all also know Shadow Ball, yet you were the one to teach her that!}" The shiny Umbreon retorted hotly.

        Luna sighed, stepping between her sibs. "Guys, it's fine. My Shadow Ball is also getting bigger and stronger thanks to you, Elise," she told the shiny Sylveon. "And Torch, not all my moves. I can't practice Confusion nor Psychic properly without Raven here."

        "{Yeah, but who says we can't teach you a few new tricks? It's not nearly dark out yet, and she'd bound to be fretting over Pos anyhow!}" Henri exclaimed. wagging his tan and cream tail vigorously. "{I've got a few tricks up my sleeve myself!}"

        "{Henri, we all share ninety percent of our moves with you. Quick Attack, Swift, Refresh, Double Edge, Double Kick, Shadow Ball...,}" Thunderclap said awkwardly, trying to be gentle on his little brother. "{Since we're all evolved, we can teach Luna better is what I'm trying to say.}"

        The Eevee gasped, a hurt look on his face. "{Just because I don't want to evolve doesn't mean I'm any less of a Pokemon than you! I know a ton of moves I taught myself because I wanted to be like all of you while staying the same type of Pokemon as Mom was!}"

        The whole group flinched at the reminder of their late Eevee mother. Henri turned his head and began to run, tears falling from his eyes. The others stood, wide-eyed and shell-shocked.

        After a minute, Luna shook herself out of the stupor and charged after him. They ran for a few minutes, the Pokegirl hardly able to see her little brother's tail in the distance. Finally, he began to slow, coming to a stop in the forest. He was weeping, collapsing into a bush to muffle his sobs.

        Luna caught up to him, coming up from behind. She stood there for a moment, not really knowing what to say, before making her presence known by snuggling in beside him. "I'm sorry for what Thun said, Hen. He should have respected your decision. I know Mom's death was hard on all of us, and I'm proud you decided to stay like her. Even I didn't know you were teaching yourself new moves, and I'd be honored if you trained me, little brother."

        Slowly, the Eevee wiped his eyes, staring up at his sister. "{Really?}"

        "Really," Luna smiled, wrapping her paws around his neck. His frown turned into a small smile as he hugged her back, and they stayed like that for a few minutes. Finally, Luna let go, instead reaching a paw out to him. "We should probably go back before they start worrying about us, eh?"

        Henri stood up, shaking dead leaves from his fur. "{Right. Thank you, big sis.}"

        Luna flashed her teeth as she gave him a grin. "Anytime, Hen. I love you little bro, so of course I gotta look after ya!"
