Chapter 64 The Start of the Challenge
The next day, Ash and Lillie are now dressed up as they are having breakfast with others. Adam says, "Ash, you are now the Champion, have you think of what you are going to do from now?"
Ash says, "To be honest...I am not sure what I am going to do...What about you? Lillie?"
Lillie says, "I am not sure about that as well."
Adam smiles, "If that's the case, each member of the Timeless has set up challenges for you to conquer. I want to know if the two of you are up for it?"
"What kind of challenges are there?" Nora decides to ask, and Nyx asks, "Yeah, how come we don't know about this?"
Adam says, "That's because I decide to tell you now with Red's orders, so that you can try to think of the challenges to do."
"I guess that makes sense." Zenith says.
Ash says, "So what kind of challenge should we do first?" Ash asks, and Adam says, "You can go to Professor Sylvan's Lab, I think she has a challenge for you already."
Ash and Lillie nod as they bid farewell to their family after it is done. The two of them are heading to the Professor's Lab, much unknown to them, the traitors spot them as they are going to follow them.
In the Lab, Ash and Lillie greet the Professor. Sylvan says, "You know, I still can't believe you beat Reukra and the Elite 4, Ash. Congratulations! I am so proud of you."
"Thank you, Professor. I heard from my Dad that you have a challenge for me?" Ash asks.
"Yes, I want to battle you, actually. I'd like to see how I stand up against ya. Are you up for that?" Sylvan says while adjusting her glasses.
"I do." Ash says, "As a Champion, I won't refuse a good battle."
Once they head outside, Sylvan has Ash picked six Eeveelutions to battle, so Ash chooses all except for Eevee, Leafeon and Espeon. As they are battling, the traitors also arrive at Telnor Town and Brock asks, "Who is she? She looks beautiful."
"That is the Professor of Telnor Town, Professor Sylvan. She usually studies Eevee to find more of the evolutions." Professor Oak says.
"Why would a Professor want to study Eevee? They might be cute, but they are not that strong." Max says.
"I don't know what you are thinking, Max. But I don't want to hear your whining." May punches his head as he groans in pain.
After the battle, Ash says, "You know, Professor. Being an Arceus, how about I give you something you can do to make you successful?"
Professor Sylvan says, "And what will that be?"
Lillie says, "Right now there are only 9 Eeveelutions, how about we try to create the rest?"
Sylvan says, "That will be a great discovery if you manage to do that. Maybe we can try with the Eevee in my lab."
Ash and Lillie follow Sylvan to the lab, only to find the traitors who are also entering the lab. Ash says, "You again? What are you exactly doing here?"
"Is that how you are treating your old friends after you got married without inviting us?" Professor Oak asks.
Lillie rolls her eyes and says, "Emphasis on the world Old, you are not our friends considering what you have done to us."
"Besides, we have business with the Professor here, so please excuse us that we are not here to hear your annoying taunting." Ash says.
This causes them to be angry and Max says, "Oh yeah, Mr. Champion? How about we have a battle? If we win, you get the Pokemon back to us."
Ash says, "Sorry, I am not going to use my Pokemon as a bet, you abuse your authority as a Professor to give away my Pokemon, that's the reason why you are not a Professor now. And if you still think that the Pokemon you stole from me is yours, then sorry to hear that you don't have a brain."
This causes Lillie to giggle a little as the traitors are angry, Misty tries to use the same Mallet that hurt Eve yesterday on Lillie, but Misy just gets past Lillie as she slams into the wall.
"Oh my, did I hurt poor Misty?" Lillie asks as Ash is the one that giggles. "How did you do that..." Misty groans in anger, and Lillie says, "Oh, I don't know. Maybe I am actually a Ghost Type Pokemon and Normal moves can't hurt me."
Sylvan says, "As much as I enjoy watching it with popcorn, but this is my lab and I won't tolerate any fight in the lab. I have called the police and they are on their way."
The traitors are now paled as they quickly run away before the police arrive, and after they are gone, Lillie asks, "Are you scaring them or you really did call the police?"
"Do you think I want to waste my time on them?" Sylvan asks as the others just laugh. "But anyway, let's see the new Pokemon."
Ash and Lillie nod as they get to the room with Eevee. Lillie says, "So how are we going to do it?"
Ash says, "Well, we have the Fire Stone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, Thunder Stone, and Ice Stone. I think we should use the Sun Stone, Moon Stone, Shiny Stone and Dusk Stone."
Sylvan asks, "And how are you going to do it?"
"Sun Stone usually causes the Grass Type Pokemon to evolve, but that is not going to work because there is Leafeon. Which Type is related to Sun that can use this Stone?" Lillie asks.
Ash thinks for a second and he says, "How about Ground Type? Since plants need the Sun and the soil to grow."
"That's a good idea." Lillie says as they use their powers to try to make a Ground Type Eeveelution, and they manage to create the sand-colored Eeveelution.
"Here it is, Eartheon." Ash says, "Its body feels like sand, and it usually lives in dry places to keep its body dry."
Eartheon tries out the moves, and it can use Earth Power and Sand Tomb, much to the three's delight.
"Now the Sun Stone is done, the next one is going to be Moon Stone." Sylvan says.
"Moon Stone usually goes to Pokemon living in Mt. Moon, like Clefairy, Nido family and Jigglypuff...what Pokemon should we use..." Lillie asks.
"I have a suggestion...since Moon is related to nighttime, and I was thinking of Ghost Type. But then again, I already decided to put Ghost Type in another way to evolve, so I guess I should use Poison Type instead."
"Poison Type..." Lillie says, "It feels weird, but it also feels suitable."
After trying it out, they create a fluorescent green-colored Eeveelution with goo on its back.
"This is Toxieon. This Pokemon shines under the moon, but if you accidentally touch its body, you can feel the toxic corroding your hands."
"That sounds creepy, but it works somehow." Sylvan adds.
For the Shiny Stone, they create a Steel Type Eeveelution because of how its armor light body reflects with light to make it shiny. They named it Ireon and it has a hard body to prevent itself getting hurt, not to mention its mirror-like body also attracts a lot of Pokemon to look closer.
And the Dusk Stone is for Ghost Type, they create a purple-colored Eeveelution with black mist surrounding it. It is called Spookeon, when touching the Pokemon's body, people can see their nightmares in their minds until they decide to let go.
"So there are the Stone ones, now let's go for the friendship ones." Lillie says.
"We have Espeon from the Day Time, Umbreon from the Night-Time, Sylveon by learning a Fairy Move, how about Fighting Type by learning a Fighting move? It can learn Detect and Double Kick after all." Ash says.
By using the tutor to have it learn the Double Kick, it evolves into a red Eeveelution with strong legs. They call it Kickeon and it can deliver strong kicks and their leg muscles are very well-developed.
"Now four left. Which are Flying, Bug, Rock and Dragon." Lillie says, "How are we going to do with these?"
Ash says, "I think I have an idea. For Flying Type Eeveelution, give it a Pretty Feather while leveling up with friendship."
"Pretty Feather does not affect any Pokemon, maybe it will work on this one instead." Sylvan says as they try it out.
The Eeveelution is white colored with wings, and they call it Skyceon as it likes to fly in the sky and jump scare the others.
"And for the Rock Type, we use this Nugget, so it can become Rockeon." Ash says as he tries it out, and Lillie says, "Wow, I never knew that a collector's item can do that as well.
"Yeah. It has a Rock hard body that can destroy anything just by hitting it." Ash says as they see the darker brown-colored Eeveelution.
"Now for the final two...what are we going to do with them?" Sylvan asks.
"For Bug Type and Dragon Type, I was thinking of evolving them with high friendship also having the particular type in the team. You see, Bug and Dragon are named after living beings, so it will be reasonable to do that.
After trying it out, they create two Pokemon with one being yellow with brown stripes, and it has two spider like legs on its body, and the other one is indigo colored with scales on its body.
"Inceon is capable of using those legs to climb the trees, and it looks terrifying compared to other Eeveelutions. While Draceon's skin is rough and angering it might cause something bad to happen."
"Then we shouldn't make it angry, and that is all the Eeveelution." Sylvan says with delight. "Thank you all for helping me with this, now I can write a report to the others."
"No problem, and our Eevee can also use the Protean Maxima with all the Eeveelutions as well."
Eevee nods as Pikachu also cheer for his girlfriend, once they are done, they bid farewell to Professor Sylvan as they are going to the Timeless to find what their next challenge is.
At the same time, the traitors are back as they see how Ash and Lillie leaving the area, and Iris says, "How did we let our guard down just like that after that Professor threatened us to call the police?"
"I don't know, but looks like Ash and Lillie are leaving to who knows where." Clemont says.
As the others are chasing after them, Kiawe, Mallow, Lana, and Sophocles are walking behind them and Lana says, "I am not sure about you guys, but I have been thinking of Serena's words when Lillie was being possessed by that Deoxys like thing..."
"I know what you mean...do we really think Ash is dragging us down while he helped us a lot back in Alola..." Kiawe says.
"But Professor Oak is targeting us if we try to get on Ash's side..." Mallow says. "What are we going to do? We already break our friendship with both Ash and Lillie...if we can only be like Bonnie and the others..."
And some of the traitors are starting to regret their actions, I will say that the number of traitors that are going to have a bad ending is seven. I hope you like this chapter with all the Eeveelutions that I have been thinking about a lot in the past, and the next chapter will be Delta or Legendary hunting in the post-game.
