Weeks went by. Cathy started teaching me how to fight. I rarely won, but at least I was learning.
One day, we were defending our home from two Seedots. We won, of course. All of a sudden, Cathy was surrounded in a blinding light.
"Cathy? What's happening?" I asked worriedly.
"I'm evolving, silly!" She answered as the light faded. "I'm a Kirlia now!" She exclaimed, gracefully twirling around me.
"You're even more beautiful now than ever," I said, hugging her as she laughed. After a pause, I asked, "Cathy, what do I evolve into?"
"Well, Tenkai, as an Eevee, you can evolve into 8 different forms."
"Which form do you want me to evolve into?"
"You're full of questions today, aren't you?" Cathy giggled. "Hmm… I've always liked the look of an Umbreon. However, the choice is yours in the end."
"You won't be mad if I pick a different form?"
"No, I won't. You wanna know why not?"
"Why not?"
"Because, Tenkai," she said as she hugged me, her voice growing softer, "no matter what you look like, you'll always be the same on the inside." At this point, our faces got close. "You'll always be my little Eevee."
Next, the unexpected happened. She kissed me.
I felt a sudden rush of energy. It was as if time stopped. It felt for a while as if anything was possible…
I fainted.
Yeah...
I really forgot how cringey I was back then.
I promise the other story is better than this.
