//------------------------------// // A Metaphysical evolution // Story: My Little Pokémon // by Amarvax //------------------------------// Ponyville, Twilight's Castle. Today. Twilight aims to evolve her Eevee into Espeon. The two have bonded for a good amount of time now. They're already friends at this point. And it's a fairly sunny day today, so that evolution must be kicking in at any moment. "Today's the day. The day you finally evolve Eve. I can feel it." Twilight sat down, looking at her partner Pokemon. "Eevee!" "And I think I know just how we're going to do it. You're already good friends with me, but I bet if we increase your friendship with the rest of my friends, you're sure to evolve. Come on." Twilight and her trusty Eevee headed out of the castle, ready to finally get this evolution done. First stop, Rarity's Carousel Boutique. Before, Rarity and Eve got off on a bad start, but they patched things up at the end. Even so, their friendship isn't really that prominent. They're more acquaintances than friends. But that is all going to change, according to Twilight. "Befriend your Eevee?" Rarity spoke. "That's right. You and Eve can become better friends today. They say that the best friendships are formed from early bitterness between the two." "Vee." "As much as I'd love to spend time with your Eevee, darling...Leavanny and I have work to do. I was just requested to make a suit for some human named Baron Alberto and his Lickilicky...That Pokemon is disturbing to look at." Rarity shuddered. "So I'll be a bit occupied at the moment." "That's fine. Eve doesn't have to get involved with your work. She can just sit here, watch and chat with you...if you could understand her. Is that okay?" "Hmm... Alright. She can stay here. This suit won't take too long anyway." Rarity nodded. "Great! I'll leave you two to it. I'll be right back, Eve." Twilight placed her Eevee on the floor, leaving Carousel Boutique. Eve was just sitting there, watching Rarity and the Leavanny work away on this suit. For 12 minutes, she kept swaying her tail from side to side, just letting time pass by. She interacted with Opalescence for a bit, scaring her with a tiny Swift. Rarity had gazed over Eve, seeing that she wasn't doing much. "Eve, darling. You aren't really doing much now are you?" "Eevee." "Don't worry. I know exactly how to involve you." Rarity whistled at one of her Leavanny. The single Leavanny nodded their head, knowing what to do. It went through the closet, rummaging through everything until it found what Rarity was thinking off. "Since the Grand Galloping Gala is approaching very soon, I figured that I'd make a dress for you. Have a look at this." Leavanny brought over a small dress fit for an Eevee. The colours matched that of Twilight's mane colour. "Perfectly fitting to your trainer. What do you think?" "Eev!" Eve raised her paws up, showing that she loved the way it looked. Leavanny had placed the small dress on the Evolution Pokemon. A perfect fit and perfect match. "Marvelous. I knew it was a great idea to go with Twilight's mane as a reference." Speaking of Twilight, she had just returned. And the first thing saw was Eve's gala dress. "What's this? You made Eve a dress?" "I was saving it as a surprise for when the gala comes around, but oh well. I made sure that it matched your mane, darling." "Well you certainly got it down to a T. It looks great on you Eve!" Twilight picked her Pokemon up. "Eevee!" The Evolution Pokemon responded gleefully. All of a sudden, for a split second, Eve's body began to pulsate. Emitting a purple flash for a 1 second. "W-What was that?" Twilight wondered. She and Eve had no idea what that was, but Rarity actually had a pretty good idea on why Eve just flashed all of a sudden. "I think I know what that is." Rarity walked to Twilight. "Eve here is very close to evolving, Twilight." "Evolving? Really?" Twilight looked at Eve, then to Rarity and then back to Eve. "Mhm. Fluttershy and I recently learned that some Pokemon evolve differently when in our world. My Leavanny, when they were just Swadloon's, were wilting away. I was mortified by what I was seeing. It turns out they were just evolving into their final evolution." "So the same's happening for Eve? Amazing! Evolution works differently in Equestria? This I have to look into! Oh, by the way, Rarity. Can I ask for a small favour?" "Sure, darling. What is it?" "Well...how do I say this?" Twilight crossed her hooves, looking to the side. "Obviously, the Grand Galloping Gala isn't too far away...and I was wondering if you'd make a special dress for me." "Anything you want darling. How special?" "I want to impress somepony special with it." Twilight's face was turning into a red as Rarity could see this now red-faced Twilight. "I hope he likes it." She said silently this time. "Ah...I see." Rarity nodded her head, knowing who. "No need to worry. I know exactly what to make. You and Eve just head-on and I and my Leavanny will sort everything out." "Thanks, Rarity. Come on, Eve. Let's head to Pinkie Pie next." "Eevee!" Next up, SugarCube Corner, Pinkie Pie. Along with Jade who now lives there. "Stopping by for some fun?" Pinkie popped her head from the table. "You could say that. I'm here to help Eve become good friends with everypony. That way she'll finally evolve into Espeon." "You came to the right place then. I'm a natural adept at making friends. Isn't that right, Jade?" "Yeah." Jade nodded. "Then you wouldn't mind having Eve hang around here for a while?" "Not at all. That evolution is gonna pop out in no time. Come on, Eve!" Pinkie Pie grabbed Eve as Twilight left the premises once more. Why she keeps on leaving for a few minutes? Even doesn't know. "Jade. Wanna help me plan an evolution party for Eve?" "Evolution party?" "Yeah! When she evolves into that Espeon Pokemon, we can throw a party for her and Twilight reaching their goal. First of its kind too." "That sounds...nice. But I don't know how to plan a party, Pinkie." "You can learn from yours truly. Besides, planning a party is easy. You don't have to be a super-duper party pony like me to pull it off. The nicest parties are the ones that are small and simple after all." "Small and simple. I can do that." Jade nodded. It was about to be her first time setting up a party. Small and simple as the way to go for her. So Eve watched as Jade was planning away. Her skills as a rookie were showing. The best she could do was setting up some chairs and party hats and that's it. Pinkie on the other hoof went above and beyond by setting up banners, balloons, some already baked cakes and even a disco ball. The Slurpuff went over to Eve, letting her a bite of some cupcakes. As always, their taste was perfect thanks to the Slurpuff's noses. Twilight returned back to retrieve Eve once more as she saw the words 'Evolution Party' on a party decoration. "Already prepared for her evolution Pinkie?" "Yeah! It's also gonna be the first evolution party ever. And I've already pre-planned future evolution parties for other Pokemon." "That's great. Isn't that great, Eve?" "Eevee!" Once again, Eve's body began to pulsate that purple light once more. But this time, the light was more visible. "It's pulsating again. That means that your evolution is getting closer. Let's continue until it finally happens." Twilight picked Eve up, walking out of SugarCube Corner. "Thanks, Pinkie Pie! Jade!" "Buh-Bye! Can't wait for that evolution!" Pinkie had her hoof around Jade as she waved goodbye. Jade even did a wave as well. Up next, Twilight was going for a quintuple. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Ash, Pikachu and Applejack. Rainbow Dash was at the Pokemon House for one reason only. To get a Castform. But yet again, this unseen Pokemon hasn't shown up yet. Applejack on the other hoof was brought along by Rainbow Dash who promised to get her a Pokemon of her own. But that wasn't going anywhere at all. "If it helps, you can always come back tomorrow and see which Pokemon piques your interest, Applejack." Fluttershy said. "I guess. I'm not really a Pokemon gal, so I'm not as crazy for them as other ponies." "You'll find a Pokemon that compliments you. I'm sure of it. Oh look! Twilight and Eve!" Fluttershy looked over to the arriving duo. "Are you here to pick a Pokemon, Twilight?" "Actually, I'm here to make Eve evolve. Her friendship level is already increasing the more I make her accustomed to all of you. Very soon, I'll have my own Espeon!" Twilight clapped her hooves together. "You're doing a lot to get one Pokemon to evolve, Twilight." Rainbow walked to her. "But aren't you searching for an Altaria's mega stone, though?" Ash said. "Pikachu?" "Oh...hehe...right." Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Look at you two. I remember when Eve was just an adamanant Eevee who was pretty judgemental, even the Pokemon here. But now that she's with you Twilight, I've never seen her so happy." Fluttershy commented. Eve jumped off Twilight's back as she went over to the Pokemon, wanting to chat with old friends. She even met up with her fellow Eevee's, playing around with them and the Pokemon. Pikachu joined in by playing with them as well. "Yeah. Pretty huge leap. I guess the reason I'm so fascinated by Pokemon is how much they're similar to us and humans. That's the one mystery I've solved out of the countless Pokemon mysteries that exist." Twilight watched her Eevee play around with her old friends, having the time of her life. "I just hope I'm not leaving Minccy out of this." "Your Minccino? I'm sure she understands that you want to evolve Eve as soon as possible. Plus, she has a fellow Pokemon with her at all times now." said Fluttershy. "I mean, the animals thought I was neglecting them for Pokemon, when that wasn't true. Now the animals and Pokemon get along great." "Yeah. And they both help to the keep the castle clean." Twilight nodded. "By the way, Ash. I waned to ask you something." "Yeah? What's up?" "So. The Grand Galloping Gala is closing in...and it's going to be your first time there. I was wondering if you could come along with me." Twilight looked to the side. "Just as a friend of course!" "Sure! I wanna see what this gala is all about." "Pika!" "Yes!" She silently said to herself as she raised her hooves up, curling them in victory. As she looked over at Eve was pulsating multiple times with the purple light become ever more visible with each pulse. "I think it's finally happening!" She and the others rushed over to Eve. The pulse was so prominent that they could actually hear the heartbeat from Eve. The leaves around her were floating up, surrounding her like a tornado. Just then, Eve had something glowing on her forehead. It was forming the gem of Espeon. Her entire body shape was being morphed as psychic energy was flowing out like crazy. And then, it looked like Eve's entire body as being separated in half. The psychic energy within was right in the middle of the halved Eevee. It then began to pull Eve back together as the final phase of the evolution caused a flash of purple and blue lights to emit. The evolution was finally complete. Twilight and the others leaned forward to see the result. And the result brought joy to Twilight. Espeon was here. "Yes...Yes! You're finally an Espeon!" Twilight flew over to Eve, picking her up and giving her newly evolved partner a hug. "Check that Pokemon out." Rainbo Dash pulled out her dex. "Espeon. The Sun Pokemon. Espeon is extremely loyal to any Trainer it considers to be worthy. It is said that this Pokémon developed its precognitive powers to protect its Trainer from harm. Its fur is so sensitive, it can feel minute shifts in the air and predict the weather...and its foes’ thoughts. Psychic power builds up in the orb on its forehead as it bathes in the sunshine. Espeon is not good at battling at night. It unleashes psychic power from the orb on its forehead. When its power is exhausted, the orb grows dull and dark." "So it's another crazy Psychic that can see things coming? Woah." Rainbow Dash gasped. "Congrats on finally getting an Espeon, Twilight. Ash walked over. "Pika-Pikachu!" "Thanks! This is what I've been waiting for! All that hard work paid off at the end! Right Eve?" "Espeon." Espeon nodded in response. It's nature as much more calm now. When becoming an Espeon, she has a much more relaxed and calm personality. It helps to maintain her psychic energy since it involves nothing but being calm. "I'm surprised it took this long to evolve." Rainbow Dash commented. "I thought it would've evolved long ago. "Sometimes the best work takes some time, Rainbow Dash. Now come on. Pinkie Pie's evolution party can finally begin. So, the remaining group went over to SugarCube Corner, as the whole gang was there with their Pokemon. All here to celebrate Eve's evolution into Espeon. "I'm so proud of you." Pinkie wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Seeing a Pokemon evolve is like seeing your kid all grown up. Brings a tear to my eyes." "So, Twilight. Now that you've accomplished your goal of getting Espeon. What now?" Rarity asked. "Well. I was thinking of catching more Pokemon actually." She answered. "Pokemon interest me so much, so I want to have as many as I can with me." "That's a good call. Having a lt of Pokemon is a sure-fire way to make more friends, ya know." Ash spoke. "Pika!" "So, which Pokemon is next then, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash questioned. "Next? I think I'm the mood for a Fire-Type. I hear they're the most popular type next to Dragon. So whichever one I get, I'll be happy. But in the meantime..." Twilight picked up her Espeon. "I'm happy with Eve at the moment." "Espeon." Eve's body began to glow as it picked up the entire cake. But not only that, it managed to pick up all the party decorations and setup that Pinkie Pie did. It brought all of it towards it as it was only going for the cake, chomping on it. "Guess it can't control it's psychic powers yet huh? That's fine." Twilight laughed along with the others. "You all seem really happy most of the time. I want to feel that too." Jade spoke. "And you will, Jade. As Princess of Friendship. I promise." Today, Twilight finally achieved her goal of evolving her Eevee into an Espeon. There were no problems, no threats, no issues that needed to be solved. It was just a nice day and a smooth evolution process. Whatever her next Pokemon may end up being, she can assure that it'll be just as a great as her other two Pokemon. As the journey continues. Chapter 120 End!
