Nightmare Fallout.
“And you are not alone. For, if you are the Princess of the Night…” The light died down, revealing a large, black canine. It was about three times the size of the Eevee that was once in its place, and had a more streamlined body. Its ears appeared to be enclosed in fur. Its tail was less bushy then its previous form. It had red eyes, with golden circles on its forehead and haunches and golden rings around its ears and tail. But its most noticeable feature was that wherever it was gold, it glowed in the moonlight.
“… Then let me be your Hound.”
Luna spent a few minutes just staring at the former Eevee. “What manner of creature art thou?”
The black hound started chuffing in a facsimile of a laugh. “What I am would take far too much time to explain, and we only have so much of it before your sister’s protegee comes to interrupt our time together. As it is,” The creature sat on its haunches then lowered its head as if it was bowing, “I am still the Abes you had met earlier. I once was, and now I am.”
“How is it that thou can talk to me?” Luna asked. “Can thou speak with others?”
Abes tilted its head. “Brre?” “I doubt I can ‘speak’ with other sentient beings, except the Eevees. As for us, I assume it would be due to our connections to the moon: you who controls it, and I whom it empowers.” It, He, looked over Luna’s shoulder. “I fear our time is up.”
“P-Princess Luna?” Luna looked behind her at the costumed Twilight. “W-what is that creepy dog-thing with you?!”
Luna turned to glance questioningly at the ‘dog-thing’. “Creepy?”
“She must mean my passive defense. I naturally come off as unsettlingly to those not associated with the Dark when I am glowing from moonlight.”
“Ah, well.” Luna turned back to the lavender mare. “This is Abes.”
“No, Abes is smaller and fluffier and not creepy!” Twilight insisted. “That is big and terrifying andcomingthisway!”
While Twilight had been ranting, Abes had gotten up and moved towards her. When he stopped before her, Luna could see that they were nearly the same height if one took Abes’s ears into account. Slowly, Abes sat down, then reached out to boop Twilight’s nose.
Twilight stared thoughtfully at Abes for a time, before looking back at Luna. “Okay, I’m, I’m going to need to study this. Later.” Abes whipped his head to stare at Twilight in shock. “But first, I have to tell you something. I finally figured out why you are having so much trouble being liked!”
“Forgive us if we withhold our enthusiasm.” Luna deadpanned with a shared glance at Abes.
“Come with me, I’ll explain everything on the way!”
I found myself being led back to the statue of Nightmare Moon with the rest of the foals and Eevees. “I’m with Villhiem on this one, I’m not going to give some of my loot as an offering!” I glared at Yomega, who shrugged my attack off. “It’s bad enough I have to give some up to Abes!”
“Deal with it, Leo!” Yomega glared back. “If you don’t, I bet Twilight or one of the other unicorns will do it for you!”
We argued back and forth all the way to the statue. Said argument ended when Pinkie grabbed a few pieces of candy from each of us and placed it onto the growing pile in front of the statue. Vince gave us a look that just screamed ‘oh, grow up'.
“See, it took care of itself!” Cy said with finality.
The last colt to give up some candy was Pipsqueak. “Goodbye Nightmare Night, forever.” He dejectedly hung his head as he turned away.
Suddenly, a loud growling was heard as a large black dog with glowing eyes and gold rings stalked from around the statue, causing the foals to back away. A strong breeze started to blow through the clearing.
“Citizens of Ponyville!” Echoed Luna’s voice. “You were wise to bring this candy to me. I am pleased with your offering.” Applejack’s straw hat was blown off her head, grabbing everyone’s attention. “So pleased, in fact…” The hat blew over to the dog. “My hound and I might just eat it…” The hat suddenly jerked up to reveal a very alive Nightmare Moon where the statue was. “… Instead of eating YOU!”
Every foal screamed before turning and fleeing, dragging the Eevees along with them. We had a good view of ‘Nightmare Moon’ transforming back into Luna, before she spat out her fake fangs. Abes stopped growling and glowing his eyes, even going so far to let his tongue hang out and pant in an effort to make himself appear harmless. We waited while the rest of the foals encouraged Pipsqueak to go talk to Luna. After a short exchange, he came running back cheering. “She said ‘yes’ guys!”
The responding cheering of the colts and fillies did a number on my already ringing ears. I joined the other Eevees as we broke away from the children to meet with the largest member of our pack.
<<The candy had better be worth the tinnitus I’m going to have from all their bloody screaming.>> I growled as we approached Abes.
<<At least you weren’t right beside Luna using her patented Royal Canterlot Caps-Lock.>> He chuckled back at me.
Conner sat and stared up at Abes in awe. <<So, how’d you evolve?>>
Abes sat himself front of us as we gathered around him. <<Well, I’m not really sure. After spending the evening with Luna, and seeing the night’s hardships from her side, I kinda… I don’t know, connected with her.>> He glanced over at Luna and Twilight. <<And there’s something about her that makes me want to see her smile.>>
<<What does evolving feel like?>> Lulu asked.
Abes shuddered with a chuckle. <<Like I let the worse demons about myself out to play with my very soul.>> He sighed. <<I could feel myself changing, but I could feel no pain. All I could feel was the essence of Darkness filling my very being, and then, when it could fill me no more…>> He shuddered.
Before he could continue, Luna approached us, carrying her candy offering in her magical grasp. She lay a portion of it at Abes’s feet before leaning in. “Thank you.” She softly murmured in his ear. She then turned and joined the rest of the costumed ponies heading back to town, leaving Twilight, Spike, and us remaining at the statue. Twilight began to dictate a friendship report to Spike as Abes turned back to us.
<<And that makes it all worthwhile…>> He admitted with a slight blush.
“Now!” Twilight looked us over. We could see her thoughts warring inside her head. Finally, she let out a sigh. “Buck it, I’ll deal with you tomorrow. Could you stay and watch over them, Spike?”
Said dragon gave Twilight a thumbs-up. “Sure thing Twilight!”
It didn’t take long for us to grow bored in the clearing. As a group, we returned to town.
As we approached the market square, Abes excused himself from the group, mentioning wanting to “spend more time with Luna before she left.”
I nodded as he jogged off. <<Lunabreon, huh?>>
I shrugged. <<Meh, I’ll ship it.>>
As an Eevee evolved into Luna’s newest friend, the Nightmare Night Masquerade in the Canterlot Palace Gardens was interrupted by a resounding crack. The nobility were understandably alarmed as members of the Day and Night Guards rushed through the castle grounds. Though they searched high and low, no intruders were discovered. They traced the sound deep into the garden’s hedge maze.
Everypony – guard, noble, and princess – missed the hairline fracture along a certain statue’s mismatched brow.

Wow, this is actually kind of fun, I like the character dynamics you've got going, even though I'm having trouble keeping track of all these eevees and names, A list might help peoples enjoyment, so they can keep tract of who's who.
I feel you've got a plot going, but honestly, you could just have made it a slice of life and it would be damn intertaining just for the character interactions.
Like fedex!
Umbreon is a dark type, Abes loves bloodborne, bloodborne is basicly a dark souls game.
I see what you did there.
best Pokémon for best pony :)
Creepy?! Umbreon is adorable!
So, I just found this story today. So far, I'm loving it, but I feel like the Eevees swear too much. I know they're humans, but it still feels excessive, and much like every other Pokemon fanfic ever, you severely underestimate Pokemon durability.
The whole thing with Pokemon Battles is that no one actually gets hurt. Pokemon should only bleed or get cracked bones when they've taken severe damage in serious fights. A normal Battle is equivilant to a kung-fu sparring match, the goal being to incapacitate the opponent. No one is actually hurt unless someone breaks the rules or goes seriously overkill.
Those and a few spelling errors are my only criticisms so far. Otherwise, this a great story and I'm enjoying it. It's fun thinking of what each Eevee is going to evolve into.
Well you known ones gonna be a flareone and a glaceon by the fact they love ice and fire berries

And thus the chaos begins ...
Word Placement Error - Redundant wording: remove
Spelling Error: haunches
see above
Stylistic suggestion: and I whom it empowers
Word Placement Error - Redundant Wording: remove.
Stylistic Suggestion: with the largest of our number
it is funny how they are not just trying to get the ponies to bring celestia down so that one of them could become an espean and get telepathy.
The first to Evolve is my favorite eve variant... You have a special place in my heart now Symphon

Sounds fitting... and cute
Looks like it was a dark evolution that had a awesome and good end.
Well this actually makes perfect sense since he is Dark otherwise known as the 'Evil' Type in Japan.
Twilight, if you want creepy take a look at Ghost-types.
Well, this came out of nowhere, and the theme of inferiority and being treated as animals just continues hmm? Look at them now, they're accepting it.
