Change

Author's Note: I know, I'm an Eevee fanatic. But this is a real story, you know. Whenever I get Eevee on Silver or Crystal version, I really do have a hard time evolving it. Sometimes I just don't, because I can't. Is it wrong for a game like that to get personal? It does with me, a lot. Some people might think it's stupid, but I can't help it. I have a hard time letting my Pokémon evolve because they change. The ones that evolve through stones and trading…well, I have to admit that it makes me feel guilty to do it. I know it's kinda stupid, but…well, anyway, this is just a personal non-rhyming poem about my thoughts on this matter. Please R&R. -Dark

I've tried so hard to ignore it

But I know I can't deny it now

You want to change, to be stronger

And who am I to stop you?

We've been together from the start

And I thank you for that

But our friendship – will it still remain?

Eevee…will you still love me?

I don't want you to change

But I know how hard it is for you

The battles keep getting tougher as we go

And you want to win and be strong

Will you be like lightning, then

One with the raging storm?

As fast as the striking thunder

Jolteon…is that you?

Or will you burn like fire

And harness the dancing flames?

The light of inferno within you

Flareon…is that what you want?

Will you be like serene, gentle water

A torrent's wake as your wrath?

The visage of mermaids as your own

Vaporeon…is that your choice?

Or shall you be one with the darkness

Eevee, do you love me that much?

To be shrouded in moonlight and shadow

Umbreon… is that your decision?

Shall your power be mystic and vague

Will you harness the powers of mind?

With a single thought, your power unleashed

Espeon…is that your destiny?

I'll help you if I can, you know

Because no matter what, you're still my friend

Even if your form does change, Eevee…

I pray that your heart will remain.
