Information
NOTE: This is just information on the clan's evolution system, the story is right under this, but I do advise reading it
Deep in the heart of Johto, a clan of tiny fox Pokémon lives in peace with the rest of the world, where they are untouched or harmed by human kind. In this pack or clan of evolutionary Pokémon, when an eevee is old enough, which is about five moons old, they begin training to find out or prove what eeveelution they are destined to become. When an eevee's fate is decided, by the head eeveelutions of the clan, she or he will be sent on a journey that could last weeks or months before they return, sometimes they are sent in pairs so it is more likely they come back alive.
If they are decided to become a Vaporeon, they would be sent off to a strange underground cave with deep purple, rocky walls, lit up with pink glowing crystals stuffed in some cracks here and there. The cave goes deep into the earth and turns into a deep, clear, dark blue lake tinted with purple-ish pink from the glow of the pink crystals. At the bottom of the lake are strange blue sapphire like stones, and if the eevee retrieves one, without drowning, the eevee proves itself worthy of evolution and evolves as soon as he or she holds the stone close to their heart. The eevee grows fins and gills allowing it to get some oxygen trough the water so she or he doesn't drown before they can swim to the surface and make the journey home.
If they are destined to be a Flareon, they are sent to fiery mountain flowing with lava to find a cave there where there are a few ruby-like rocks. The cave is full of lava with rocks floating around in the lava. If the young eevee can find a path across, and holds one of the stones close to its heart, he or she will instantly evolve, growing sleek red, fire proof fur with a soft, fluffy, cream colored tail and neck and head fringe. With their newly transformed fur, they can easily walk strait out, across the lava.
For a Jolteon, the eevee must travel to a barren meadow, on top of a mountain where it is said a great bird of thunder and lightning lives, who constantly throws lightning to the ground. In the dead center of the meadow lays a pile of orange, transparent crystals with a shimmering bolt of pure electricity in the middle. If one is agile enough to dodge all the lightning bolts thrown at them to get to the crystals and hold one to its heart. The eevee will immediately grow long spiky, yellow fur and pure white, spiky fringe around his or her neck. Then the Pokémon doesn't have to worry about being struck by the lightning on the way back.
If one is chosen to be a Leafeon, the eevee will be sent to a distant forest where a giant moss colored bolder that gives of a strange presents when near it somewhere around the middle of the forest. The giant rock is guarded by giant savage insects that will try to kill the young eevee, so she or he must fight back. If the eevee wins, it will have proven itself worthy and grow blade-like on its head, chest, around the paws, and the tail and ears will even turn into leaves. Though, if the eevee loses the battle, the bug-type Pokémon will most likely eat the tiered eevee.
The eevee will be sent to a snowy mountain if it is destined to be a Glaceon. If the eevee can survive the frozen climate, and finds the giant ice boulder. The ice boulder gives of an eerie glow that ice Pokémon seem to love, around the ice boulder there might be a guarding Pokémon the eevee will battle, if the eevee triumphs over the opposing Pokémon it will grow thick, ice blue fur, grow ice-like ribbons draping from, a tail to match the ribbons and a beautiful, sapphire colored ice crystal a top its forehead. On the other hand, if the eevee loses the battle, it will probably freeze to death, fore, its fur is not made to keep it warm for so long in temperatures lower than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or the poor thing will get buried in the oncoming snow fall, not being able to walk away, being so tiered from the fight.
Though, sometimes it can be imposable for the alphas of the pack to judge if an eevee's destiny is to become an Espeon, Umbreon or a Sylveon, the alphas know that the young eevee's fate has been chosen by Arceus, Giratina, or the three great beasts of which the clan bases their entire culture around and whom they believe they descended from.
Chapter One; Life in the Clan
"We call you to gather, at the shrine of the great, legendary beasts, our sounders and protectors alongside the great Arceus, to give thanks and offerings to the great ones!" announced an older Flareon, Hertfort, with a coarser fur than the average fire fox Pokémon, and he also seemed to have what looked like a stubble beard growing as the same fur one any Flareon's tale, head and neck. Next to him, on one side is a Jolteon with a huge scare on her left shoulder, Akra, younger than the Flareon but still not by much, and on the other side stands a Vaporeon, Colvit, with tattered fins, he was older than both of them but not by much, these were the three alphas of the clan. The shrine a clearing under a grove of trees that all came together at the top making an almost cave like dome with an entrance where the trees split apart, but every where other than the part, the trees grew tightly together. On the opposite end of the entrance, towards the end of the clearing lays three stones, each roughly the size of a Metapod, neatly spaced about a foot apart. On the stones are ancient engravings of the legendary beasts. On the left stone is what looks like a lion-like with mighty claws and powerful paws surrounded by flames. On the right, there is a fierce, striped feline Pokémon surrounded by thunder clouds and lightning bolts. And in the center, there is a divine wolf of water, with the wind moving with its two ribbon-like tails flowing in the direction the beast is looking, this wolf that can be one with the water while running across a river in the picture.
"Though these great ones are not with us we will always know they are there for us and in times of need, they will be there." Said the Jolteon with her head bowed towards the crowd. The crowd was of about 50 Pokémon, all of them where either eevees or eeveelutions, they all bowed their heads as well as the Jolteon known as Akra said this then there was a brief moment of silence as only the chirps of a nearby bird Pokémon could be heard.
One young eevee, Rommy, different from the others, she was born shiny with gleaming silver fur and a pure white, fluffy nick fluff and tail tip, sitting next to her friend, Jurro, a newly evolved Jolteon, another eevee, was transfixed on the beauty of the little spots of sun light weaving through the parting branches near the top of the grove onto the beautiful rocks depicting the great beasts. "What are you looking at?" asked Jurro whispering in a calm voice.
Rommy flinched, retracting from the deep trans she was in, "Shhh… Nothing, we're supposed to be quiet." She whispered.
"Eh-hem…" Hertfort loudly cleared his throat getting Rommy's, Jurro's and everyone else's attention. "It looks like our time of silence is over, now that some of our young eevees' want to share something!" he said in a mocking voice.
"Uh-umm, well," Jurro stuttered trying to find the right words to say, he was at a complete loss of words because he always talks with his friends during these spiritual meetings and has never got caught. "We-we w-were jest…" 'Man, Hertfrot is so intimidating up close…' Jurro thought. In fact, Hertfrot is a bit bigger than the average Flareon.
Rommy cut in to the staggering conversation to save her friend, which was ironic because he was normally the talkative one "Um, my friend and I were jus admiring the light of the sun coming through the trees dappling the stones of the great ones…" she tried to think of more words a Pokémon older than her might like. "It's as if Arceus itself is looking down on us and smiling on this day and world." She said with a funny fake smile.
Hertfrot glared down at the two of them, strait faced, and said "Wasn't that a lovely thought from…"
"Rommy," she replied "and this is my friend, Jurro"
"Hm" Hertfrot mumbled. Looking up now, he said "The section is over now, thank you, all, for coming."
After that, most left, like Rommy and her friends, but some would stay and personally visit the shrine. All of Rommy's friends, except for Fretch and herself, have already been on their own journeys and evolved. Kernoes the Flareon, Prate the Glaceon and Jurro the Jolteon.
Prate trotted up to Rommy and Fretch "Sooo…. Do you two know when you might set off to find what you will evolve to be?" he asked mockingly, obviously showing off how proud he is to have grown into such a gorgeous body and creature. Prate is the most recently evolved in the group. "We all can't wait to see your inner evolutions are." He said now smiling more towards Rommy instead of Fretch.
"Well," started to talk, Fretch somehow seems to emphasize on every word he says as if he is trying to make a point even in an average conversation. "now that you ask! Not like we weren't gon'na bring it up…" He mumbled the last part to himself. "We were just called over to the shrine by Akra herself! She has a pretty face but she can be a bitch sometimes, if ya know what I mean! Well anyway, she said that the spirits of the three beasts have told the alphas that I have the stuff to be a great Vaporeon someday! Yay!" he shrieked "And it gets better! She said that Rommy might make a good Vaporeon too! Though she did say that the vision of her as a Vaporeon, or really anything, is fuzzy... But that just means we get to go together!"
"That's cool, well, now we know that at least one of you will come back!" Kernoes jokingly said but Rommy took it seriously, the thought that one of them might not come back alive shook her to the core.
