****Eevyu****
Vayees and Veeon had arrived in the circle. Everyone was silent as they approached. They both looked like they'd thought a lot about this evolution stuff.
Holly had snuck into the woods nearby, unnoticed by anyone except Eyvan and I. Even if everyone noticed her, I think she'd still be allowed to watch. And it wouldn't matter anyway, because she could understand anything we said.
Dad, the leader of the Eevees and Eevee-forms, was the first to speak. I am honored to give my two eldest children their evolutionary names this sunset. They are both fully evolved and ready to leave the group when they wish it. My brother and sister bowed their heads, knowing what came next.
Not a word has been said by Vayees and Veeon for one hour, said Mom. They are both old enough to proceed on their own, yet they are still my children, and children have a special connection to each other. Therefore, may my youngest, Eevyu and Rocket, please come stand here by me.
I was shocked. This wasn't what was supposed to happen; at least, I didn't think it was. But Rocket and I stepped forward, everyone else whispering about us.
Children, please face your siblings, said Dad. Eevyu, you shall be the one to name your sister; Rocket, you will name your brother. There was a collective gasp from the other forms. (A/N: I use forms to mean Eevees and Eevee-forms.) Dad nodded, and we stepped forward.
I searched deep inside me for knowledge of my sister: what she was like, how she acted, what she was. And I came up with a name.
Hayveera, I said solemnly.
Zayveer, said Rocket a beat later.
Then it is decided. Veeon, your new name is Zayveer; Vayees, become Hayveera. By now the sun had set, and I knew what came next. A party.
Rocket and I ran over to Holly in the bush. She smiled and followed us when we asked her to. We went to the river, right under the big willow tree.
"Is something wrong, Eevyu?" she asked, noticing the look on my face.
Yes, Holly. Something is very wrong. Dad told us the story today of how he got here...but he left something out. I nodded to Rocket, and he told Holly exactly what Dad had told us. He always DID have that kind of memory. We were wondering what he left out, I said once Rocket had finished.
"I'm sorry, I want to tell you, I really do, but Umbayvee has sworn me to secrecy. Just know that your names are what they are because of your parents' past." And with that, she disappeared into the woods.
If she won't tell us, we'll have to find someone who will! rocket said angrily. I sighed.
Rocket, HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT??? I yelled. He flinched, but stood his ground.
We find Rayaka.
What?
Dad said Rayaka hadn't been found, right? So WE find her. She's gotta be alive somewhere!
But what if she's not? Rocket was silent at this, thinking.
I don't care! The Pokémon here are always looking at me funny, and whispering behind my back about me being different, and when I ask them why, they run away, or say it's none of my business! Rocket was getting very mad. It made me wish Evafey was here.
Rocket suddenly took off, and I ran after him. I trailed him for an hour steady, until he dropped in a clearing, exhausted.
Now how'll we get home? You've gotten us lost, brother! I said, angry as I could be.
We...have...to...find...Rayaka... he said softly, and I sighed. Mom and Dad were probably having a fit by now.
Suddenly a head poked through the bushes. It was another Eevee.

Well? If anyone wants to know, this is the start of a great adventure. The fact that Holly's familiar way of doing things is not mentioned is simply because neither Rocket nor Eevyu recognize it.
