Hey people, I am amazed I am moving fast through this story, already reached Chapter 7. Enjoy the next chapter guys and girls. You know now that I have thought about, I am still made they haven't given Ash an Eevee all this time in the anime. If he did I would love it to evolve into an Espeon. For many reasons, 1 Evolves from friendship which suits to Ash, perfect counterpart to Gary's Umbreon, Ash has never had a Psychic type and Espeon is one of my most favourites of the Eeveelution. I would be so happy if they finally give him an Eevee to evolve into Espeon. That would make my day.

Oh yeah one thing, if anyone is confused of how the buildings and other stuff that is like human based, it resembles in a Pokémon mystery dungeon, the towns sort of way in their buildings.

Chapter 7: The first meetup

It was two days after the proceedings with the Alphas in the Eeveelution territory. So no total decision was made but it had set a few of the Alpha's into annoyance such as the Leafeon who demanded to have some of the south to themselves. Back in Espeon territory now, Asra was with his friend Tiago taking a walk with Mace also. Asra was laying out to them about how well the negotiations went and his time in the territory.

He did however find make some new friends. He made friends with Drake the Flareon Royal guard who he met and formed a quick friendship with. He also saw King Ventus as a wise friend and possible mentor knowing how much they had in common in their beliefs. He had enjoyed his time in the Eeveelution Kingdom and hoped he could go see it. He was currently saying to the two friends "And that is how the negotiations ended, with the Leafeon being angry".

Tiago and Mace both were awestruck and Mace said "Wow man that is pretty tough politics". Asra completely agreeing with Mace said "Yeah, I had to take a break from it just to so I could stay sane". Tiago then asked him a curious question "So were this Drake and King Ventus the only ones you meet". Asra knowing what he asked was hesitant to answer knowing that Carly was not the answer they wanted to know "Nah I didn't meet anyone else really, other than Queen Pearl".

Mace then looked to Asra and asked him "Hey, I had heard the Umbreon Alpha's were there". The bright eyed Espeon nodded to his friends sentence as Mace continued "Did you see them, what were they like". Asra was wondering if his friends were going to bring up this question "Well I did see them in the meeting, they did seem quite calm and civil. But I could tell there was some tension between them and my parents in the meeting". Asra was impressing them with his story smiled as Tiago spoke "Sounds like you saw a lot up there".

The bright eyed Espeon nodded to them as Tiago looked up to the sky "Huh it is already becoming noon". Asra looked at the sun's position and could see it was indeed noon and he needed to be somewhere. "Guys I have to go meet my sister now, I nearly forgot". Tiago and Mace were a little disappointed that their friend was already going "Well if you need to then, okay".

Asra smiled and said "Alright guys I will catch up with you later, okay". They both nodded and he stepped away and was on his way down the street. He nodded a goodbye to them and he walked away heading off in towards the exit to the main town. He smiled and he thought to himself "Time to keep to our agreement, Time to see my new friend". He ended up walking through the marketplace as he was moving past many Espeon.

As he was nearing the end he heard a voice "Hi Asra". He froze in fear when he heard that voice, "I haven't seen you in a while". He looked around to see a female Espeon who was smiling seductively to him "Oh…H…hi…Katy". Katy made a giggle to him "You look so cute when you're scared. But why are you". Asra trying not to look like a fool sorted himself out and said "You just surprised me that is all?" Asra hoping to get away quick "Listen Katy I am in a bit of a rush and I need to be somewhere".

Katy butted in before he could leave "Oh, I thought we could spend some time together. Okay, but I have a question". Asra knew what this was going to be as she said "I was wondering if you wanted to come over to ours as Mother, is making a big dinner for us. I wondered if you would like to join us". Asra rolled his eyes and said "That is a kind offer, but I am busy for the day so I am sorry I can't, now I really do need to go".

Asra moved away a little until he heard her voice again "Asra". The bright eyed Espeon looked to see Katy wink at him "See you later then, handsome". She turned around and gave him an indication with her mouth of a kiss. She then swinged her tail around and walked away. Asra shivered in terror and moved away quickly. He thought to himself as he did still have the look of terror in his face "She gives me the creeps, what makes her think I would ever love her. She is crazy?" The bright eyed Espeon was quick to move on and forget the whole thing.

He arrived at the entrance to the town and walked out without being noticed by anyone, he was now on the pathway he intended towards his destination "Ah, now I can finally relax now and see my new friend, it shouldn't take me long to get there". Asra while walking even closer and closer to his destination he was thinking to himself "But how can I have a proper friendship with Carly and manage to keep it secret, someone would be bound to notice me missing". Asra shook his head and smiled "I don't care, if it happens, I will have to deal with it".

A while later he came upon to his destination. The area just outside of the forest he first saw his new friend from. He looked around to see the person he was looking for sitting in the grass plain. He smiled and walked towards her who had her back to him as she sat watching the sun. They were both directly outside of their territories so there was a great small chance of being found out. He stood behind "Hi Carly. I see you made it".

The shiny Umbreon looked behind her to see the Espeon had arrived. She sighed and turned around to him "You sure know how to keep a girl waiting don't you". Asra was shocked he was behind schedule "Am I late, I am sorry…" Carly smiled and jokingly said "I am kidding Asra, I only got here a few moments ago, after convincing my dad I was going to see a friend today, while I technically am".

Asra smiled to this "Well I just went with my friends to start with before I begun to make my way here. I had a horrible encounter though before I arrived here". Carly was now curious and asked him "What is it". She then sat back down and he sat close by and looked to her "You see there is this girl Espeon, who has an obsession with me". Carly now understanding let him continue "She thinks we are meant to be and in love but in reality she is a stalker".

Carly grinned to this "So you don't like her then". Asra quickly shook her head "The very thought of her is enough to frighten me, she is really uncomfortable to be around and the fact she is my sisters best friend makes it even worse. She offered me to go round her place as her mom is making dinner today but I declined and left as fast as I could before getting a scary wink and an imitation of a kiss from her which freaked me out".

Carly couldn't help but make a little giggle "So she didn't kiss you". Asra quickly shook his head "No, she acted one out. The thought of us kissing is enough to give me a heart attack". Carly made another giggle and Asra glared "It is not funny Carly". Carly tilted her head "Maybe a little, from the way you describe her, she sounds like a hand-full to deal with". Asra sighed to this saying "Oh you have no idea, Carly, you have no idea at all".

Carly smiled to Asra's plight and then said to him "So did you reach the end of the talks with the Alpha's in the Eeveelution territory". Asra shook his head "It isn't finished yet, the Alphas haven't been able to agree fully yet. The Jolteon and Leafeon's were not getting along at all". Carly curious to this "What about my Alpha's". Asra assumed she was referring to King Rawk and Queen Ava.

He then answered her question by saying "Oh, they were civil and we actually were able to talk but I could tell there was tension between my dad and King Rawk". Carly not being surprised by that stood up again and said "That does not surprise me one bit, given the fragile relations between our clans". Asra looked down to that as Carly said "Well shall we take a walk then". Asra smiled to this and walked alongside the Shiny Umbreon and they began walking towards the forest that Asra first caught sight of her once. They looked in to see no danger and they made their way inside walking through the tree line and walking through.

Carly then said "So Asra, I am curious, what is it lie being a prince". Asra now collected his thoughts "Well, It was as it sounds to be good, I as a little Eevee until I turned 10 and I evolved. I never got along with my brother as he is arrogant and Selfish towards all others except our parents". Carly listened as Asra continued on "My sister however, I love her to bits, she is always there to make me laugh and be there if I need to talk to someone. And she is always a playful and adventurous".

Carly smiled at this "She sounds pretty nice, I never did get to have sister, I only have a little brother". Asra understood this and he continued "Yeah, and I would always be looked after by anyone and be given lessons, on survival, leadership and battle in case it is needed. Apparently my training isn't complete yet".

Carly was surprised by this and said "Really you seem like a tough combatant to me, you sent those Toxicroak packing". Asra feeling a little flattered by that comment said "Well there is that, but that was because of a type advantage, if I battled someone like a dark type, the odds wouldn't be in my favour". Carly tilted her head a second before she understood the logic there.

Asra then asked her a question "So Carly what is your life like then at home". Carly now begun thinking in her turn "Well, as you know I am not royalty, I am a citizen of the Umbreon tribe. I live with my father and my 9 year old brother". Asra hearing that said "Wait, how old are you Carly". Carly now seeing the Espeon wanted to know about her said "I am currently 16 years old and will be 17 in just 4 months".

Asra then took the chance to gloat "Ha, I am 17 now and will be 18 in just a month". Carly narrowed her eyes a little while smiling "Well good for you". Asra smiled before saying "Sorry, Please continue". Carly rolled her eyes a little as they walked deeper into the forest. "Anyway I live with my dad and brother. I love them both but I usually get out a lot to see my friends or to come in this forest".

The bright eyed Espeon was now confused about something "Wait, what about your mother. I haven't heard her". Carly stopped and looked down as Asra was confused "Is that too personal". Carly didn't' mind and said "My mom passed away when my brother Joey was only half a year old. So when I was only 7 years old". Asra now feeling bad for bringing that up "I'm sorry, Carly I shouldn't have pushed…"

Carly stopped him by saying "It is okay Asra, I am okay now. While I do still miss her". She then continued "She always talked about us all being raised in peace where she wished for all the clans to be at peace together with trust and care. She wished for that future". Asra smiled saying "She sounds like she was very much loved and a loving mother".

Carly appreciating the kind words saying "She was". Carly then saw to her right a few Pokémon in the forest of the sunlight and smiled "Asra come here, look". Asra looked where she was pointing with her right foreleg. He could see the scene laid out in front of him. Some Swellow's with their young were flying through. He could see all of the Pokémon living in harmony. He saw two Pidgeotto nested together with a Pokémon egg.

Upon seeing this all he was mesmerised by this, Carly happily said "This is why I come to the forest to see how beautiful nature can be". Asra couldn't ignore her there, life was in full here, a sight of beauty "I can see why you want to come here. This places looks like paradise". The shiny Umbreon smiled at the Espeon's comment and said "It is, I come here all the time". She now begun thinking to herself "So I did indeed make the right choice choosing to trust Asra, maybe we can make a real friendship out of this. The friends from two different clans".
