Hope you enjoy this chapter.

The five Eevee's will all evolve into "Fakemons" there will be links on my profile showing images of them. Full credit to the artists who created the fakemons.

By the time Ash returned to the lab night had started to fall, Ash parked the motorcycle and then entered the lab not at all surprised to see that the scientists had by this time left. Ash removed his mask and sighed as he felt cool air on his face, while the mask was good for hiding his identity it wasn't exactly practical in the hot Orre weather. The only consolation was that thanks to the generosity of Lily he had some cooler clothing to wear, Ash was sure he would melt if he had to wear that trench coat during the days. The elevator then opened suddenly gaining Ash's attention and he watched as both Lily and Professor Krane walked out.

"Ah hello Rorschach, we've been wondering when you'd get back." Professor Krane stated.

"Was the purification successful?" Lily asked.

Ash didn't answer, instead he simply grinned and then sent out Zangoose who looked around the room wondering why he had been sent out. With the now former Shadow revealed Professor Krane and Lily crouched in front of him and checked over Zangoose for any signs that the shadows still remained. After a few moments both Lily and Professor Krane stood up with relieved smiles on their faces, it had been so long since they had used the Relic Shrine to purify a Pokémon that they were worried that the blessing of Celebi could have faded.

"Excellent, the Shadows have been completely removed from him." Professor Krane announced.

With the Professor's seal of approval Ash decided it was time for everyone else to meet the newest addition to their family, so he sent out all of his Pokémon. They all looked at Zangoose glad to see that he was no longer trapped by the shadows. Eventually Pikachu was the first to approach Zangoose and held out a paw to him, Zangoose quickly shook it as Pikachu welcomed him to their family.

Zangoose's gaze shot straight to Ash as Pikachu said that, the normal type had never been part of a family since males in general tended to roam alone. Ash looked from Pikachu to Zangoose and guessed that Pikachu had given the former shadow Pokémon the almost traditional welcome to the family.

"Oh, sorry Zangoose, I just see the Pokémon that choose to stay with me as family. I don't like the idea of you belonging to me, if you find you don't like it here then you are free to go whenever you want." Ash turned his focus to the rest of his Pokémon. "Listen I've got to go talk to Lily and the professor about something, would you guys get Zangoose up to date on everything going on?"

They nodded and led Zangoose to the living room area, so they could tell everything that had happened thus far and what would be happening in the future. This left Ash, Lily and Professor Krane alone, the trio took a seat at the nearest table.

"I'm glad to see that the purification was successful." Professor Krane stated.

"It's such a relief to see Zangoose free now, I guess congratulations are in order on purifying your first Pokémon Rorschach." Lily said.

"Thanks, I'm just glad that I could save Zangoose. Hey, what do you know about a Mr Verich?" Ash queried.

"Not much really, he visits Gateon Port on a fairly regular basis and provides free food and drink for the sailors there at The Krabby Club. Why?" Lily replied.

"We met him today, one of his bodyguards used an Alakazam who easily took care of the guy who upset Jovi. There aren't really that many Pokémon trainers here and certainly none of them are that powerful. It just seems a little suspicious to me."

"I'll admit it is odd to find a powerful trainer in Orre but that's not enough to believe this man is involved with Team Cipher. There are other reasonably strong trainers in Orre." Professor Krane answered.

Despite what Professor Krane had said Ash wasn't convinced, the way he'd looked so frustrated when he saved the Zangoose as well as the strength of his bodyguard combined with the recent appearances of Team Cipher all seemed a little too coincidental for Ash's liking. However, he wasn't about to debate about it any more as they obviously didn't share his suspicions in the old man, but Ash knew that sooner or later he would find something on this Mr Verich.

The next day Ash was driving through the deserts of Orre looking for a new place train with his Pokémon, he'd grown tired of their previous training area and decided to check out a place he'd heard about, an old abandoned cave near Pyrite. It had been originally used by the old Team Cipher before they were defeated five years ago which meant there could be some interesting items left behind. Just as Ash was about to start setting up for a day of hard training, a man wearing a dark outfit styled after Michael Jackson, complete with a single black glove on his right hand moonwalked out from behind a stalagmite.

"Alright, who are you?" Ash asked.

"The name's Miror B and this is my base of operations. It may not look like much now but when I'm done, I'll be ready to take over the Orre region at the head of Team Miror."

"Oh god I've found the Team Rocket of Orre." Ash groaned as Pikachu facepalmed.

"Hey man disrespecting me is not cool. Now you're gonna have to pay for that. Go my Ludicolo's."

Miror B threw a couple of Pokéballs that burst open revealing a pair of Ludicolo who were dancing around much like their trainer. This sight only cemented Ash's belief of this clown being the Orre equivalent of Jessie, James and Meowth. It was annoying that he'd have to waste time battling this idiot, but he didn't have much choice in the matter. Since they were the only ones that hadn't evolved yet Ash sent out the Eevee sisters, so they'd have a chance to unlock whatever form they would evolve into. Upon seeing their opposition both Eevee's cocked their head in confusion but then focused one the pending battle.

"Alright my Ludicolo's use Hydro Pump."

"Both of you use Dig and then Iron Tail."

The Ludicolo's both shot a powerful jet of water at the Eevee sisters who quickly burrowed underground making the Hydro Pump shoot straight over the holes and hit the cave wall behind Ash, narrowly missing Ash. One of the Eevee's then burst out of the ground behind one of the Ludicolo's and drove her tail down on the Ludicolo's head making it fall to its knees as it is tried to ignore the headache now plaguing him. Ash looked over at the other Ludicolo but noticed that the other Eevee hadn't attack it, Ash looked around wondering where the other Eevee sister was as she hadn't re-emerged from the ground.

A beacon of white light suddenly shot out of the hole Eevee had dug, blinding everyone in the room and forcing them to shield their eyes. When the light finally faded it revealed that both Ludicolo's were unconscious and a strange Pokémon was now stood in front of Ash. It had grey fur, purple flames that reminded Ash of a Will-O-Wisp attack acting as a tail, a white mask that covered part of her face like The Phantom of the Opera and what looked like a white, hooded cloak on its back and covering its head.

"Eevee is that you?"

"Spectreon." It replied with a nod.

"Well since you're ghost type now this move will be even more powerful, use Shadow Ball."

A dark orb of ghostly energy formed in Spectreon's mouth and she fired the orb at the Ludicolo that was still standing sending him flying across the cave until he slammed into the wall and slumped to the ground. The attack hadn't knocked him out, but it had taken a lot out of him, despite the pain he was feeling Ludicolo got up and stood alongside the other Ludicolo who had gotten back up. Ash could see that both Pokémon were almost done and wanted this battle over with.

"Alright let's finish them off, Spectreon form a Shadow Ball and Eevee use Iron Tail on it."

The ghost type started to form a far larger Shadow Ball in front of herself, she knew it needed to be big enough to hit both Ludicolo's and still have the power to knock them out with the help of Eevee's Iron Tail. Suddenly a person appeared from the shadows with a pair of Ariados beside her both of whom shot a stream of poisonous toxins at Spectreon who was still charging her super powered Shadow Ball.

Eevee saw the attacks headed towards her sister and tackled her out of the way causing Spectreon to prematurely fire the Shadow Ball which knocked out one of the Ludicolo. The other consequence was that both lots of Toxics hit Eevee instead of Spectreon making Eevee whimper in pain as the toxic flooded her system. Fearing the worst Ash and Spectreon quickly made their way to Eevee's side while Pikachu took the fight to the Ariados' and remaining Ludicolo. Ash tried to pick up Eevee but was forced to put her down as the Toxic burnt through his sleeves and stung his flesh.

"Y-you're going to be okay Eevee, I promise."

Ash started searching through his backpack for something to help Eevee while Spectreon tried to comfort her sister. While it was appreciated by Eevee it didn't stop her from feeling weak, the poison was causing her tremendous pain but Eevee wouldn't let this poison beat her. Ash and Spectreon watched on in shock as Eevee forced herself back to her feet and let out a loud cry as she started to glow white.

The light soon died down revealing another Eeveelution Ash had never seen before, her body was mostly a faded pink colour with a brighter pink head and ears which drooped either side of her face. Her eyes were bright blue and there were also what appeared to be poison dripping from the tips of her ears, paws and her tail which sizzled on the cave floor.

"Toxeon." The new Eeveelution announced.

As soon as he saw Toxeon was okay Ash picked her up and hugged Toxeon tightly as he let out a few tears, something he hadn't done for months. To say he was relieved that she was okay would be an understatement, he'd been so scared that he would lose her, and he wasn't sure he could handle losing anyone else. The poison type Eeveelution licked Ash's cheeks to remove the tears and then nuzzled him. Ash then realised that he had been hugging Toxeon but not being harmed by the poison dripping from her body, Ash could only guess that Toxeon could control when her poison was dangerous or not.

"You want to be the one that finishes this Toxeon?"

The poison type nodded and then retook her position on the battlefield, she had a score to settle now. Although it seemed that Pikachu had done a lot of the work as there was now a badly injured Ludicolo which wasn't one of the ones she's battled before she was attacked by the Ariados. A quick glance to the right showed that they had obviously been dealt with as well since there was now an injured Machoke stood in front of the woman who had attacked her.

"Use Sludge Bomb!"

Toxeon shot a large glob of poison at both Machoke and Ludicolo drenching them both in poison, a smirk crept on to Toxeon's face as she heard Machoke and Ludicolo cry out in pain as they collapsed to the floor. Winning always made her feel good but this time it felt especially good after their sneaky Toxic attack early had left her in so much pain. With the battle won Toxeon and Spectreon went back to Ash and nuzzled him. Ash hugged both Eeveelutions and then started walking towards Miror B, him and his lackey had caused Toxeon a lot of pain and they'd pay for that.

Miror B saw the masked man stalking his way and quickly decided to leave before he could unleash his wrath on him. The leader of Team Miror sprinted out of the cave with the woman close behind him having only enough time to yell a stereotypical I'll get you next time before he was gone.

With discount Jessie, James and Meowth dealt with Ash was able to relax, he sat down on the cave and hugged Spectreon and Toxeon, proud that the pair had evolved and fought so hard. He was curious what caused Spectreon's evolution though, Toxeon had obviously somehow embraced the poison circulating through her body and used that to evolve but the same couldn't be said the Spectreon.

Ash then spotted a Dusk Stone on the ground near where she had used Dig which had obviously been the trigger for the evolution. Then again Dusk Stones were common in the main regions so why hadn't Spectreon been found there before? Ash decided to put it down once again to the region itself or maybe just this cave, to be honest it didn't really bother him. Spectreon was happy and that was all that mattered to him.

After what had happened so far today Ash didn't know if he even wanted to train right now but still sent out his Pokémon, so they could if they wanted to. They all appeared and looked around the cave guessing that it was their new training area, they were about to start training when they saw the two new Pokémon sat in Ash's lap nuzzling him.

Everyone walked over to them and were quick to congratulate the new Eeveelutions although Ash could see that the two male Eevee's were jealous that their sisters had all evolved now, and they had not. While they may be worried about that considering how quickly their sisters had evolved, Ash wasn't, he knew it was only a matter of time until they finally unlocked their potential like their sisters had done. It did make Ash wonder what other Eeveelutions they could evolve into, he now had a ghost, poison and ground type Eeveelution and was sure that the final two would also evolve into a new Eeveelution just like their sisters had.
