Frozen Star.
[Leo]
I opened my new teal eyes and Glared at the five Sableye before me. I tiredly stood from where I had been lying and felt my broken collar slide off. I spared it a glance before addressing the Ghost types. "You don't understand me, but I still want you to know that I just figured a couple of things out." I quickly launched a pale mote of mana into the sky.
They just tilted their heads in confusion. "Firstly? I can now do Icy Winds." I took a deep breath and howled out a blast of frigid air. The lead Sableye crossed its arms and took the brunt of the attack, but frost still started to form on the other four. Once my breath ran out, the first one started gnawing on the ice caking its arms, shivering in the cold. It stopped when a hailstone as large as a golf ball brained it. The other Sableye flinched and began to warily watch the sky. "Secondly, I figured out Hail."
The hailstorm began to fall in earnest. I felt more and more invigorated with every stone that hit me, but the Sableye had to do a mad dance to avoid the last of it. I breathed out another Icy Wind to slow them down while circling around them. I wanted them to remain in as small an area as possible and leave them with as little room to dodge as I could.
A more reckless Sableye decided to charge me, dark power coating its claws. A rather large hailstone smashed itself into its head, shattering into powder, yet the Sableye didn't slow. I frowned at it and jumped to the side at the last moment. I was surprised to see it continue running past me before it just face planted into the snow, digging a short trench before being banished.
I turned back to the rest of the Sableye, pointing a paw back at the trench. "Did that just happen?" One of them threw a Shadow Ball at me. I dodged around it and retaliated with another Icy Wind. Right, still fighting. I jumped past a second Shadow Ball, only to take a third to the face.
"Ow?" I shook my head as the hail healed off the bruise. Alright, so I got two new moves?
"Nope, three! Try pulling your mana through your fur!"
I did so, and felt my mana solidify into an arch of five frozen spears. I fired them out in a shotgun spread, nailing a couple of Sableye with three of them. The hail finished one of them off, and the last of the spears burrowed into the snow. I created another arch of spears and held them around my barrel before facing the final two Sableye.
"So!" I chirped, creating more spears and expanding my arch. "Who's first?"
The two gremlins looked at each other before turning tail and running. I launched my spears at them, managing to banish one. I let the last one go, turning instead for the Crystal Empire. I paused long enough to grab my collar and dropped into an Extreme Speed.
I frowned as I bounded across the snow. Hmmm, feeling a little sluggish. Looks like Rainbow and I will need to work on my speed training again. I started thinking of training regimes as the Empire's barrier neared. I could see the thawed land beyond it tinted a baby blue because of Cadence's shield spell, but I really only had eyes for the ponies on the far side. I shook my head as I watched Pinkie slowly try to drag Rainbow away from the barrier. Definitely slower. I mentally sighed.
I dropped out of my move on the snowy side of the shield and waited for Rainbow to notice me. Her smile split her face as she struggled to lunge out to meet me.
"Pinkie! Lemme go!" Her voice was distorted by the barrier. "C'mon, Pinkie. Leo's right there!"
The pink mare didn't let go of Rainbow. "Really? Where?!"
"She's right there!" Rainbow pointed right at me. I waved.
"I don't see her...?" Pinkie frowned. By this point, the others had moved to stand beside the two.
Rarity squinted out towards me. "I can't see anything through all that ghastly snow."
Applejack just squinted in my general direction.
"I'm telling you, she's right there!" Rainbow insisted. I draped my collar over the back of my neck and started strutting back and forth, slowly getting closer to the barrier.
"Well, I don't see anything." Twilight looked to the final mare there. "Do you, Fluttershy?" The named mare just squeaked and shook her head.
"No... There is something there," Applejack nodded, "Ah can jus' make it out. Ain't no Eevee, though."
Fluttershy pressed herself closer to Twilight. "D-do you think that it's s-safe?"
I stopped and looked over my shoulder at the sound of another of Sombra's roars. I turned and sprinted into the Empire, bounding up and glomping Rainbow. <<Guess what, Rain- oop!>> I was lifted off of her and encased in a pink bubble. <<Y'see, this is also why I don't like psychic types all that much.>>
Shining gave me the stink eye. "I don't think that it's something of Sombra's, Cadence's spell would have kept it out." He tilted me to get a better look. "But I haven’t seen anything like this before."
I rolled my eyes and looked over at Fluttershy. <<Hey, Fluttershy?>> She meeped. <<It's me, Leo. I evolved into a Glaceon. Could you tell Shining to put me down now?>>
"Oh, um..."
Rainbow pointed to my neck. "That's Leo. Look, she's still got her collar."
"If you would just-"
"It could've taken it off of Leo while she was fighting, though." Twilight frowned.
I covered my ears as I saw Fluttershy put her hoof into her mouth. She let out a shrill whistle, cutting through everyone's conversations. "Um... She's Leo. She just grew up into this."
Rarity looked at her askance. "How can you be so sure?"
Fluttershy fluttered up to me and began pointing at various points on my body. "Her tail is kinked, there's dimples in her fur along her front legs and chest from where she had her bones broken, and while her scar in her eyebrow is mostly covered by the crest, you can still see the bottom of it. Um..." She dropped back down. "But the, ah, easiest test is to have her say something and Rainbow translating it. If that's alright with you?"
I stared Rainbow dead in the eyes. <<Lather blather, cookie bookie.>> Rainbow snorted before repeating what I had said. Fluttershy nodded when everyone looked at her for confirmation.
Twilight saddled closer to Rainbow and I as Shining led us towards the Empire proper. "Just so you know, Moon Dancer and I are going to want to take a look at Leo when we get back."
"I know." Rainbow sighed. "And I want to be there. I wanna know what Leo can do in order to help train her."
<<I can't believe that I'm agreeing to this, but I do too.>>
"Leo's interested, too." Rainbow translated.
I tuned the mares out as we made our way into the city proper. I marveled over the crystalline buildings, dulled out as they were, imagining what they might've looked like before Sombra got at them. I was so busy staring at the buildings, I almost missed the Carbinks staring at us from around corners and over window sills.
A clattering to my right drew my attention to an alleyway. A Carbink had fallen over at the sight of us. It stared at us with wide eyes before floating a few inches above the ground and zooming away. I shrugged, glancing around the rest of the alley before rejoining the ponies.
After a moment, I ran back into the alley and stared up at the wall. Or, more specifically, at the Unown etchings on it. 'Help us'? I read. I mean, that's what we're here to do-! The wall blinked at me. <<MEW FUCKED!>> I scurried back to Rainbow.

Oh! That one iks a DOOZY!

Reminds me of
Oooh, Unown. Uh.... Uuuuuh...... Hm. Unowns are always 50/50. So long as there aren't more than 30, should be little to no reality warping. Hopefully.
... Good luck Leo! You're gonna need it...

When I wrote this, I was thinking more along the lines of Homing Soulmass from Dark souls.
Would a "weakened" hail be akin to summoning snow? Or perhaps Leo will eventually learn Blizzard?
Fun fact: Eevee's highest base stat is its 65 Special Defense, while the lowest base stat in the "Eeveelution" spread is 60. No canon Eeveelution puts that 60 in Special Defense.
Yes, I know you aren't going by game logic. It's irrelevant trivia, thus "fun fact".
So Leo can create snow now? That would be handy during the hot summer.

Well, we're using the game as a base. However, we aren't conforming to it completely. So, unless stated otherwise, it's probably safe to assume the game is at least close.

My opinion on souls-likegames is basically 'HARD Pass.', so i had no idea.
Rainy days, winter and oder cold days will be Leo's new favorites and generally acceptable or warm to hot days will not be fun for Leo anymore.
We really need more Evolution for Eevee...
This was a beyond epic battle chapter.

Fun fact, in gen 1 and 2, whether a move used attack or special attack was determined by the type. For example, all fire type attacks were special attacks, as were all electric, water, psychic, dark,grass, and ice.
See the pattern?
The only special attack type not represented by an eeveelution is dragon type.

Huh, I suspected as mutch but was never sure, I guess it is a lot more complicated these days?
Few, I needed that "pick me up" this update brought. I'm feeling better after reading this.
Always nice to see a update from an old favorite. And more frequent, too!
11849681
Well usually they only do big stuff when their acting as extras for Arceus but considering we literally just saw him last chapter that is less comforting then it should be
11850101
And Fairy almost certainly would have been classified as special if it had existed at the time, given the distribution of its moves.

Eeyup
Yay the unoun and carbine are here, I wonder if a diance will appear?
Unown? Well, that always means interesting things if delved into. And we have icy girl now! Sweet!
Happy to have another chapter. And I'm pretty sure that ice spear shot gun shot was an OP icesicle spear attack. Just a random thought. Can glacieon learn ice spinner and triple axsel. And imagine what Leo is going to be capable of once she learns mirror coat. And it seams she has both ice body and ice cloak as her abilities.
11850101
And Gen III.
11849681
You think we’re stopping at double digits?
11849770
Glaceon is a little faster than Eevee (65 Speed compared to 55) but compared to the rise is special attack and defensive bulk it’s very minor. Add in the doubling in size it probably doesn’t feel like much.
