Bot alt: epiloge story from the original EVzero post

<<Year 6017>>

<> and <> started their school life in Plasma Town with Sunshine being in the first grade and Axel in the second. During the study hours, things went well for Sunshine, but the same didn’t happen to Axel. Axel was being picked on by other students due to his fur color, the same problem he had back in his previous school. Fortunately, this time, he wasn’t alone. Axel was saved from the bullies by another shiny Pokémon who was also his new classmate, a shiny Vulpix named <>.

The two quickly became friends. Their interaction caught the attention of a Rotom named <>who was also his classmate, for the Rotom had never seen two shiny Pokémon at the same place before. It didn’t take long before Atom began one of the boys.

On the other hand, Sunshine also managed to make some friends of her own, <>and <>.

Sometime later, <> and <> traveled to Terra Town to look for Leaf’s father. With the help of <>, the uncle of <>, they successfully located him.

<>, Leaf’s father, worked as a fire watcher and was assigned to a watchtower not far from the town. Their family reunion at the watchtower was rather awkward after what happened the last time they saw each other. There was a long moment of silence, Leaf finally built up her courage to ask her father why he chased away her and her older sister, <>. Alfred was hesitant to answer at first and finally gave in after Flare encouraged him to.

Alfred told her daughter everything, including their mother, <>, was killed by a dangerous, psychotic outlaw, a lv. 100 Bisharp, who had already killed all Alfred’s side of the family and Lapis’s side of the family before Lapis became the target. Leaf and Lazuli would have become its victims too if Alfred didn’t show up in time and did what he did, for the outlaw was hiding inside the house.

Alfred told Leaf that the outlaw actually lost interest in killing her and her older sister after seeing Alfred threatening to kill his own children. In fact, the outlaw went out of hiding and gave him applause after Leaf and Lazuli ran away which angered Alfred. Alfred fought the outlaw inside the house and burnt down the house in the process.

Using the collapsing house structures, his rage, and type as the advantages, Alfred managed to kill the outlaw, just barely. The other advantage Alfred had that allowed him to avenge his family was that the outlaw got very arrogant after many successful kills and by the time they fought, that outlaw was already running low on stamina and power points.

Despite being the last one standing, wounded Alfred eventually fell to the ground and accepted his fate to die inside his collapsing house. He was saved at the last minute by the other Rescuers. After hearing Alfred’s side of the story, Leaf forgave her father. Leaf asked her father to go see her sister which he declined, knowing how Lazuli would react to seeing him.

After spending the whole day with her father, Leaf bade farewell to her father to return home. Before they left, Alfred asked Flare to take good care of Leaf which he accepted.

Weeks later, Flare, Leaf, Lazuli, including <> and <> went to visit Speed’s old treehouse. When they arrived, Lazuli remarked on the place being familiar to her to which Speed replied, saying was where they first met and how Lazuli used to act which made her give me a death stare. This caused Speed to quickly try to rephrase his words and apologize. Lazuli giggled and asked him whether he thought she was going to hit him for saying what he said before following the others inside the house, leaving Speed to be the last one standing outside, rubbing his head.

The five Eeveelution spent the day in the garden and enjoyed their time there. They also decided to have a sleepover there since there was heavy rain in the evening. While Speed was washing the dishes in the kitchen, he heard a noise coming from the garden. He went outside to check only to find nothing. However, the moment he tried to re-enter the house, he found the door to be locked, leaving him outside in the middle of heavy rain. Thinking he might have accidentally locked himself out, he wandered around the house, looking for a way back in.

Inside the treehouse, Leaf asked her sister and Silvia about their relationship with Speed. Lazuli told her to not worry about it as they were doing fine. Silvia also assured Leaf that what Lazuli said was true. At that moment, thunder occurred outside the house, making both Lazuli and Silvia jump and hug each other which made Leaf and Flare laugh at them. The laugh was suddenly stopped as they heard a thud coming from downstairs. The four of them went downstairs to check only to find Speed lying face down on the floor. They quickly rushed to him and carried him to the bedroom upstairs. Then the four of them went down to investigate what happened.

Leaf suggested searching the house in case someone managed to break inside and knocked Speed out cold. Silvia said that was dumb as there was no evidence that someone broke inside. Eventually, they went with Leaf’s suggestion anyway just to make sure Silvia was right. After checking the whole house, they regrouped downstairs in the living room. They asked each other about what they found. At that moment, they noticed that Silvia was closing her eyes the whole time since they regrouped. Lazuli went to check on her but got no response.

Out of nowhere, Silvia’s voice was heard from behind them. They turned around to see another Silvia slowly walking toward them, apologizing for going to the bathroom during the meeting. Silvia was confused as to why everyone was giving her a weird stare. She peeked to look behind them and saw “herself” sitting on the sofa. Everyone slowly turned their eyes to the other Silvia whose body suddenly turned pink before morphing into Speed. Everyone screamed before running into the bedroom upstairs. They locked the door after all four of them got in.

Silvia asked everyone whether any of them knew what was happening to which they all said they didn’t. After building up the courage, they decided to face the intruder together. Suddenly, they all heard a loud noise coming from the front door as if someone had just broken in, causing the girls to jump slightly before recovering. Flare opened the bedroom door and went downstairs with Leaf and Lazuli following him. Silvia, on the other hand, went the opposite direction as she heard a noise coming from the attic.

As Flare, Leaf, and Lazuli went down, they saw “Speed” soaking wet, looking at the broken lock as if he was guilty of breaking it. “Speed” turned to the staircase and saw Flare and Lazuli rushing at him. Before he could say a word, he was hit with <> from Lazuli to the face, freezing him. Flare and Lazuli used this opportunity to gang up on the “intruder”.

Meanwhile, Silvia found a pink blob, a Ditto, astonished at the sight of the amount of Poké found in the attic. Silvia slowly used her feelers to grab an almost empty jar of Joy Seeds, unloading the remaining seeds before jumping at the Ditto, catching it, and quickly put it inside the jar.

After Silvia successfully caught the intruder, she happily rushed downstairs to give everyone good news, only to find Lazuli sitting on Speed’s back, hitting the back of his head with a block of ice repeatedly while Flare and Leaf were watching on the sideline.

Silvia yelled at them and showed them the captured intruder. Upon realizing they were attacking the real Speed, Flare quickly pushed Lazuli off Speed’s back and hugged his wounded brother, apologizing to him over and over again. Lazuli also soon joined in after regaining her balance, leaving Silvia and Leaf to stare at them awkwardly.

After patching Speed up and putting him to bed, Flare, Lazuli, Silvia, and Leaf interrogated the intruder to find out what were they doing in the treehouse and what they wanted. The Ditto, still stuck in the jar, corrected their pronoun as the Ditto referred to oneself as a “she”. The Ditto explained to them that she was on her way to visit the family that she haven’t seen for a long time in the nearby town. It was raining heavily on the way so as soon as she saw the treehouse and an opportunity to get in to take shelter, she did just that.

Lazuli asked the Ditto whether she was responsible for locking Speed outside the house. The Ditto admitted she did it to make it easier to blend in and that Speed would have been fine outside the house if he didn’t break in anyway. After settling things down, the Ditto asked to stay there for the night. The Eeveelution agree, but only if the Ditto stayed inside the jar until morning which the Ditto ended up accepting.

The next day as the Flare was making breakfast, Leaf and Silvia went outside the house to open the jar and release the Ditto. Upon being released, the Ditto transformed into an Espeon and stretched herself which surprised Leaf. Leaf asked the “Espeon” how she could transform into one when there was no Espeon around. The “Espeon” said she had been using that form for years which helped her remember exactly what an Espeon looked like without seeing one. The “Espeon” waved goodbye at Leaf and Silvia as she left which Leaf waved back, telling her to take care.

Soon after as Flare, Leaf, Lazuli, and Silvia were having breakfast, they saw Speed walking into the kitchen. As he arrived at the table, he told everyone that he had a weird dream last night and that in his dream he was attacked by Flare and Lazuli. As he sat down, Speed noticed everyone tried to look away which confused him. He asked whether everything was okay to which everyone ignored the question and tried to change the topic to what they wanted to do that day. As everyone began talking about something else, Speed shrugged and decided not to ask any further. The five of them arrived back at the main treehouse in the afternoon.

The next day, Silvia was called to her father’s house. Her father said there was someone he wanted her to meet. When arrived at the door, her father told her that her mother had come to visit them and was waiting inside the living room. Silvia was very excited upon hearing it. However, as soon as she entered the room, her excitement quickly turned into disappointment.

Turned out, her mother was the same “Espeon” she met the previous day which made the reunion awkward rather than a happy one. Nothing the strange reaction from both of them, <>, Silvia’s father, asked whether they had already met before. Silvia said they had already met and that her so-called mom pretended to be her and her boyfriend to which the “Espeon” asked whether she was really dating. <>, Silvia’s older brother also arrived at that moment. It didn’t take long for Frank to settle things down.

After things calmed down, Frank introduced the mom to the kids which the mom said she usually referred to herself as <>. Gai was excited to finally meet his mother, though it didn’t apply to Silvia. Gai asked his parents how they met. Frank said it was an accident, followed by Sylvia (the mother) saying “a happy accident”. Gai then asked if Frank actually named Silvia after their mother which Frank said yes. After receiving the answer, Gai jokingly called Silvia “Silvia Junior”, making her pout her face. The family spent the day together bonding. It took some time for Silvia to accept her mother.

Days later, Speed got a call from his friend, <>, saying a while ago back when he and the squad were on an island vacation, <>, Trace’s father, met a Glaceon who appeared to match the description of <>, the older brother of <>, during one of his conferences at Beta City.

Black overheard the conversation Speed had on his communicator and demanded the answer on why they believed that Glaceon had anything to do with his brother. Speed tuned up the volume to let Trace explain. Trace told them that years ago, not long after he got the news of Frost’s death, he made a wish with Jirachi to bring Frost back to life. However, he wasn’t able to locate him until recently.

Black demanded Trace to take him to meet that Glaceon. Trace told him that his father was scheduled to go to another conference in the city that Glaceon lived in next week and that he could go with him as his bodyguard. Speed offered to go with him since he already knew Dr. Robert while Black was still a stranger to him. With all things settled, Trace told them to arrive at his house when the time came.

On the same day, <> informed everyone that they would have visitors that day which <> asked whether those were his parents. Pearl said yes, but added that they weren’t the only ones visiting. Not long after, they heard a knock on the door. Pearl went to open it and was greeted with her uncle, <>, and her aunt, <>. Behind them were <>, the mother of <>, <>, and <> and <>, the father of <> and <>.

Pearl invited her guests inside. Sunshine and Crystal jumped to hug Mollie as soon as she entered with Axel also hugging his parents, Bolt, and Rin. During the gathering, Pearl noticed that Lazuli wasn’t there. Leaf said she was just with her just a few minutes and that she went upstairs as soon as she saw Alfred which upset Alfred a little, but he understood why and didn’t blame her.

Speed offered to go talk to her which Leaf thanked him for trying. As Speed reached Lazuli’s room, he knocked on her door, calling for Lazuli. Lazuli slowly opened the door and let Speed enter. Once he was inside her why she went upstairs when everyone was downstairs. Lazuli said she didn’t want to see her old man. Speed tried to encourage her to go back downstairs which made her ask him whether he would do what he promised to her long ago.

Speed was unsure, but he said he would if he had to. Until then, he suggested Lazuli to at least talk things out with her father. It took some convincing, but Lazuli gave in eventually. When they arrived back on the ground floor, they found that everyone went to the backyard. The two Eeveelution soon joined the others who were preparing the picnic table.

They found Alfred sitting under a tree with Leaf. Lazuli slowly approached her father and when she did, she suddenly hit him in the gut which startled everyone in the backyard. Speed quickly grabbed Lazuli’s paws and pulled her away from her father. He asked her why she hit her father which she said he deserved it. Leaf checked on her father as everyone ran in to see what was going on.

At that moment, Black barged in and helped Speed talk Lazuli down. Black also mentioned that Lazuli was still lucky to have her father. Lazuli calmed down soon after, but said she wouldn’t apologize. Everyone spent the rest of the time trying to keep things civilized before lunch. After lunch, Leaf with the help of Silvia, Crystal, Axel, and Sunshine, tried to talk Lazuli into at least being neutral with her father. With their combined efforts, they managed to convince her by the end of the day.

A week later, Black and Speed went to Trace’s place. Speed helped introduce Black to Dr. Robert. After everyone was ready, they went on their journey to Beta City, the place where the conference would be held. Along the way, Dr. Robert talked about what Frost was like and that he was his old lab assistant just like Speed was.

The next day when the conference took place, Speed and Black waited outside while Dr. Robert and other head scientists were having a meeting. They used this opportunity to try to find the Glaceon Trace mentioned. It didn’t take them long to find him. They found the Glaceon babysitting a young female Phantump. Black was shocked to see that the Glaceon looked just like his Brother, the scars on his body, everything about him.

Soon, Black and Speed went towards the Glaceon, interrupting their playtime which upset the Phantump. Fortunately, the Glaceon managed to calm to little ghost girl down and apologized to the duo. Black asked to have a private conversation with the Glaceon. The Glaceon agreed, but under one condition which was to have someone look after the Phantump while he and Black went to have a talk. Speed filled in the spot and told them he volunteered to look after the girl.

As Black and the Glaceon left the room, Speed used his status as a temporary babysitter to ask the girl about the Glaceon who looked like Frost. He learnt the name of the young Phantump which was <>. He also learned that the Glaceon was called <> by her.

Meanwhile, Black asked the Glaceon, Shard, whether he could remember anything beyond five years ago. Shard apologized to Black that he couldn’t. Black paused for a second before telling Shard his past and that he used to have a brother and how he lost him. Shard told Black that he was sorry which Black told him to not feel that way. Shard looked away and asked Black whether his lost brother was him, making Black stare at him.

Shard then mentioned that Black’s description of his brother’s demise matched the conditions he had before Pom Pom and her father found him. At that moment, Black jumped in to hug Shard, saying he missed him. Shard hugged him back for a while before stopping him. Black asked Shard if he remembered anything. Shard said he still didn’t remember, but he then said even though he couldn’t remember who he was and his past, if Black was really his brother, Shard was willing to build new memories with him.

Black agreed, but at the same time, he didn’t want to ruin the new life that Frost/Shard had built for himself. Shard gave him a communicator and told Black to use it to keep in touch with him. He also told Black that he would visit him sometimes which Black gladly accepted. The two Eeveelution then went back to Speed and Pom Pom.

The next day after the conference was over, while Black, Speed, and Dr. Robert were on their way home, Speed asked Black whether the Glaceon was really Frost and why he didn’t ask him to go back to Plasma Town. Black told him that the Glaceon was truly his brother and that he would prefer not to interfere with the new life his brother had created while he was in Beta City. Black also said he felt relieved, knowing Frost or who’s now Shard was still alive and that he could talk to him again whenever he wanted.

Dr. Robert apologized to Black for not recognizing the Glaceon sooner since he had come across plenty of times before Trace made the connection which Black accepted and said that he still found it hard to believe Frost was still alive the whole time even if he was no longer the brother he knew.

Not long after Pearl had a visitor who just returned after a long trip, her childhood friend, <>, who by then evolved into a Sylveon. She introduced her to her housemates who all were happy to meet her and greeted her nicely. All but Speed who became silent the entire time Stella was visiting. This behavior became very noticeable as time went on which led Pearl to ask him what was wrong.

Speed told her that for some reason, he couldn’t get himself to talk to Stella, almost like it was out of guilt of something he didn’t do but felt like he did. Pearl told him to take a deep breath and asked Axel and Sunshine to help him cheer up.

Sometime later, Black began to have some attraction to Pearl who by then had changed and became more mature. Black was unsure whether she would like him anymore after what happened in the past. Black spent multiple days with Leaf and Flare for counsel, talking about his feelings. He also spent time with Crystal who told him to just ask Pearl already so that he wouldn’t have to waste time trying to win her love as Speed did.

After also getting encouragement from Lazuli, Speed, and Silvia, as well as Axel and Sunshine, Black finally decided to risk it. He spent some time with Pearl, helping her with her choices and stuff which caught her attention since Black had never done that before.

Black then tried to talk things out. It took some time, but fortunately, they managed to compromise eventually. Pearl jokingly said she was feeling stupid falling for him again, but if this time it could make a difference, she was happy to try it again which made Black chuckle.

For a while, everyone spent time having fun and building up their relationship. Axel helped Sunshine with her homework from time to time, making Crystal keep teasing them. Not long later, most Eeveelution began finding jobs in town. Leaf became a waitress in a café. Lazuli became a librarian. Black helped Pearl with her parents’ shop. Silvia and Crystal were still unemployed, but they helped watch over the house and the kids while the others went out. Speed became a full-time gardener at his old treehouse with his mother sometimes helped him.

<<Year 6018>>

One day, Stella came to visit Pearl again, but this time, she informed her that she and her siblings would go out on their adventure again. Pearl didn’t want her to leave again but respected her wish. Stella also took this opportunity to bid farewell to Pearl’s housemates. As Stella went on her way, Speed subconsciously lifted his paw towards as if he tried to stop her, but he held it back no longer after, wondering what got into him and why he felt a strange connection towards a girl he had never met until then and why he already knew her name even before he met her.

After several weeks, while Speed was working his old treehouse as usual, he was ambushed by two strangers who snuck into his house. While Speed was pinned to the ground one of them, a Krookodile in combat armor, demanded him to answer whether he was <>. The other one, a Gallade in the same armor as Krookodile, recognized him from looking at Speed’s old outfit and told his partner to release him.

The two mysterious Pokémon ordered Speed to help them on a mission to investigate Crimson Forest, the forest where the battle Speed and the others had against Deomorph version of Shade the Absol. Speed declined and told them to find someone else to help them. They said they did, but everyone they sent went missing. Speed still resisted joining until they showed him what was left of the missing Champions, claiming they found it in the same forest they tried to get Speed to investigate.

Speed eventually gave in and decided to help them. They filled him in with the information he needed for an investigation, stating there were multiple sightings of disfigured creatures roaming the forest and that the location would be six thousand miles away from where they were standing. They told him he had two weeks to prepare before they headed out to their destination.

Just as the two Pokémon were about to leave, Speed asked who they were and how and why they looked for him. The Krookodile introduced himself as <> and stated with was the idea of his boss, the Gallade. The Gallade who introduced himself as <> stated that he learned of Speed after he once saved his hometown from a horde of Berserkers back when he was a Kirlia. With his fuzzy memories, he commented that he did come across a Kirlia back then who he thought was a girl making Sai tease his boss about his old appearance.

After the introduction, Dave told Speed that he would be provided with a suit of battle armor to aid his investigation and to show up when the time came. After they left, Speed wondered to himself why he decided to help them in the end despite declining them at first and how he would tell his friends and family about leaving.

During the two weeks of preparation, Crystal nothing that Speed was acting stranger than usual, spending a lot of time with everyone instead of working a lot like he used to. Crystal began trying to seek the answer, following him around and asking him what he was up to.

Speed eventually gave in and told her everything since she kept insisting on finding out what he had in mind. Upon learning that Speed would leave soon, Crystal decided to ask everyone to hold another party before the day of his departure arrived.

When that day arrived, Sunshine tried to stop Speed from leaving to no avail. Speed apologized to Sunshine and asked Axel to be there for her when she needed help. Axel accepted. Speed also asked everyone to take good care of the kids.

Sunshine became upset for several days after Speed left. Fortunately, Axel, their friends, and everyone else were there to help cheer her up.

<<Year 6019>>

Sunshine, Milo, and Kiki were spending time in the library, doing their homework. Kiki asked Sunshine whether she felt better. Sunshine told her she was fine. After a moment of silence, Kiki asked Sunshine again, but this time, it was about whether Axel was living next to her since Sunshine and Axel were always seen together after school. Sunshine said yes and corrected her that they were living together in the same house.

Hearing that, Milo asked Sunshine whether they were siblings since they lived together to which Sunshine replied no. Milo smirked and muttered to herself, stating that it would be okay to ship them which caused Sunshine to look at her confusingly. Noticing that the Eevee heard her mumbling, the Minccino tried to brush it off as talking about a romance story she had read which somehow worked. Sunshine carried doing her homework like it was nothing. As for Milo, even if she managed to persuade Sunshine, she couldn’t help death stare behind her, coming from a Jigglypuff, Kiki.

Meanwhile, Axel’s friend, Atom, hijacked another vending machine again and flew away with it, using his Rotom ability. He took the vending machine to show off to his friends, Axel and Marcel. Axel freaked out upon seeing a flying, talking vending machine approaching them. Marcel scolded Atom, telling him to stop stealing vending machines from the cafeteria which Atom happily declined. Axel awkwardly chuckled as the shiny Vulpix facepalmed.

<<Year 6020>>

Sunshine and Axel enjoyed their school time and hanging out with their friends. Sunshine spent a lot of time having fun and studying with Milo and Kiki while Axel and Marcel tried their best to prevent Atom from getting them into trouble while not getting a bad grade. The two groups also hung out together from time to time. When they did, Milo and Atom often liked to tease Sunshine and Axel, only to both get scolded by Kiki and Marcel.

<<Year 6023>>

When Sunshine and Axel returned home from school, they were greeted by a familiar face. They found Speed sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for them. Sunshine quickly jumped at him and hugged him tightly. Axel soon joined in the hug as well.

Meanwhile, the other Eeveelution peeked at them from the kitchen. Black asked the others why all of them decided to round up in the kitchen when they could have gathered somewhere else. Crystal told him to be silent and let the kids have some alone time with Speed.

To celebrate Speed’s return, everyone decided to have a sleepover in the living room upstairs. Speed told everyone about his adventure and apologized to them that his mission ended not long after he left and he could have returned several years ago if he wanted to, but he didn’t.

Learning that upset Lazuli slightly, making her ask him why he chose to spend a few years exploring other places instead of returning to the group. Speed said he didn’t know and that he just felt like he wanted to travel alone a little longer. Pearl told Lazuli that whatever reason that made Speed not want to return home soon, it must have been a good reason.

Black hit Speed in his shoulder and told him that he had better make it up to his girlfriends and kids for being away. At that Silvia jumped on Speed, tying him up with her feelers. She teasingly said he would become her plushy that night which led to Lazuli talking about Silvia replacing Sunshine’s life-size Jolteon plushy with her tiny one. Silvia blushed and said it was Lazuli’s idea to replace Sunshine’s plushy and that both of them took a turns to have the real-life plush in their personal room which caused Lazuli to blush as well. Everyone chuckled as Silvia and Lazuli embarrassed each other.

As everyone gathered at the dining table for dinner, back at the living room, Speed asked Solarflare about his work progress. Solarflare told him that he still couldn’t advance much in terms of his plan, but he managed to create some useful tech with Trace and Ali. He also got Trace to create a mechanical leg for their mother. Speed was happy to hear that. Just because Speed went downstairs, Solarflare told him that while he was away, Trace created another copy of him, Speed 3.0 nicknamed <>, using Speed’s old data while leaving out the memories.

Speed asked Solarflare why Trace decided to create another copy of him after what happened to version 2.0. Solarflare said Trace needed someone to act as a counselor for the Thunder Medal User and also stated that Trace finally found his mother who was secretly assembling a team of Elemental Medal Users to help protect her and carry on her research on artifacts. Since they were talking about Trace, Speed asked Solar Flare whether Crystal and Trace were dating which Solarflare replied with a yes. Solarflare also stated that Crystal asked him to take her to Trace’s place every weekend.

Leaf soon interrupted their conversation, telling them Pearl wanted them at the table. Solarflare apologized for making them wait and the three of them went downstairs to have dinner together. Since the day of his return, Speed began picking up his old gardener job as well as helping his brother with his work from time to time. Crystal also began helping Speed with his gardening works sometimes which surprised him.

<<Year 6024>>

Sunshine and Axel carried on studying due to the new school system expanding the school years so that the students would graduate at around 17 or 18 years old rather than 11 or 12 years old.

Pearl and Black decided to marry and start a family this year. Speed, Silvia, and Lazuli also did the same not long after with Lazuli being the first wife and Silvia being the second. After marriage, they all still lived together until Pearl had an egg with Black near the end of the year. That was when Speed, Lazuli, and Silvia decided to move to Speed’s old treehouse. Speed also invited his mother, Mollie, to move in with him.

<<Year 6025>>

After some time, Pearl’s egg hatched and turned out to be a male Eevee. Black named him <>. A few months later, Crystal and Trace married. Crystal began moving to live with Trace. Solarflare and Leaf also married not long after and they still stayed with Pearl and Black, helping look after their son. Soon after, Silvia had an egg with Speed. Lazuli also had an egg with him a few weeks after Silvia.

Silvia’s egg hatched into a male Eevee who she named <>. Not long after Lazuli’s egg hatched into a female Eevee who she named <>.

Sunshine and Axel evolved around the same time this year. Sunshine evolved into a Sylveon while Axel evolved into a Jolteon.

<<Year 6026>>

Crystal and Trace had an egg together around the start of the year. The egg hatched sometime later and turned out to be a male Eevee. Trace named the little guy <>.

Later that year, Black was visited by Shard who came to see his brother as well as his sister-in-law and nephew. Shard also brought a friend with him, Pom Pom. Black was surprised to get the Phantump still hadn’t evolved which Shard explained to him that she hated the look of her evolved form.

<<Year 6027>>

Solarflare and Leaf finally had an egg together. The egg later hatched into a female Eevee who Flare named <> after his former Amorphnism friend.

<<Year 6028>>

Zero was the first one to become a student. His first at school was rough, but fortunately, he managed to make the best of it in the end.

<<Year 6029>>

Maxwell and Sparkle finally registered and began their school life. They got into the same class and managed to make quite a few friends. They always hang out with Zero during break time and sometimes with Axel and Sunshine.

<<Year 6030>>

Taylor followed the footsteps of the other kids and became a student. Unlike Zero, Maxwell and Sparkle, Taylor suddenly became famous in his class due to him being a grandson of a famous scientist, Doctor Robert the Ampharos. Just as how Trace felt back when he was a child, Taylor hated it that almost everyone only saw him as a grandson of a famous scientist rather himself. Fortunately, he still had Zero, Maxwell, and Sparkle who treated him normally.

Near the end of the year, Axel and his friends graduated. The Eeveelution, including their parents, decided to hold a party for him to celebrate it. Everyone had a great time that day. After leaving school, Axel and his friends decided to become ancient artifact hunters with the help of Trace’s mother, Professor Sally. Axel’s friend, Atom quickly became one of Professor Sally’s main team members, thanks to his ability to possess technology.

<<Year 6031>>

Fluffy finally began her school life. She had a great at school as she had Zero, Sparkle, Maxwell, Taylor, and Sunshine to hang out with.

One night, Speed spent time in his personal office he built in his treehouse, recalling what he had been through. He was experimenting on T-Energy Core which by then, no longer could produce any energy. Speed was rather disappointed to find that the original research of Trace’s mother, Professor Sally, on creating a clean power source using the Elemental Metal was lost back when Grey the Alakazam ambushed her team and since then, Sally still couldn’t replicate what was lost.

Suddenly, he noticed that the T-Energy Core suddenly reactivated. Speed checked the data and found that the core was receiving a weak signal from the Memory Path or what used to be one. He couldn’t care less though.

Speed thought back to the day the Battle against Deomorph version of Shade the Absol took place. That was the day where every Berserker was somehow cured after the connection to the Memory Path was cut. A digital copy of him, Speed 2.0, Turbo, was lost in the battle. And had all of his data wiped clean from the Thunder Medal.

Speed also recalled every memory his copy had, recalling every death his other alternate timeline selves were put through and wondering how he didn’t go insane. At the same time, he also recollected the reason he chose to carry on his adventure after his mission at the Crimson Forest was completed. Back then, he located the missing champions within the first week of his arrival and looked back on how <> who was by then a Gardevoir became the last champion after the tournament was no longer held.

The champions who were once thought to be missing actually returned to their homeland for quite a long time and had been assisting the others against the monsters that threatened their home. Those Speed worked with successfully wiped out the monsters in just a few months even when Speed didn’t involve much, making him think to himself why they even needed him there, to begin with.

Speed spent the rest of the time between after the Crimson Forest mission and his return to the Eeveelution group trying to find a Sylveon, Stella. Speed was sure that he found her numerous times and it was his mind blocking him from seeing her even when she was standing in front of her. Speed couldn’t help but feel like he had done terrible things to her even when they had never interacted. But one thing for sure, he knew that it must have been the actions of his alternate timeline selves that made him feel that way since he recalled seeing her in some of his copy’s memories.

Speed talked to the T-Energy, hoping to get his other alternate timeline self to get his message, and followed their heart in finding their lost loved one after the restraining caused by his first alternate timeline self, <>, was lifted. Speed knew that it would be impossible for what he said to reach his other timeline self, but he did it anyway.

At the end of the year, Sunshine and her friends graduated. They began to start their new life as biologists and sometimes got help from Trace’s father.

<<Year 6040>>

Solarflare successfully opened the portal to the alternate timeline after getting aid from Palkia and Dialga. By then, he still needed to find the right successors to carry on his mission. Sparkle who had evolved into a Jolteon and Maxwell who had already evolved into an Espeon volunteered to help. It took some convincing, but eventually, they managed to convince their parents to let them help their uncle.

Sparkle and Maxwell were equipped with an improved version of the Alternator to help with their disguise, but the forms were limited to Eeveelution only. Those watches also came with cross-timeline communication and were equipped with a T-Energy Core since Trace believed it might come in handy.

Sparkle and Maxwell began their journey to the other world when their summer break arrived. Their goal was the find the last missing piece of the Berserker Virus and Solarflare’s alternate timeline self to help them break the Cycle of Rebirth once and for all. Sparkle and Maxwell found that the T-Energy Core suddenly reactivated the moment they entered the other world.

After Sparkle and Maxwell left, Black and Speed visited Trace’s place from time to time to check on the kids. The report Solarflare received from his niece and nephew began with them finding the one and only Berserker in that world, but before they could capture them, they were stopped by the alternate timeline version of their father. After a while, Solarflare received another report on the kids managing to get back on the younger version of father’s good side and had been helping the younger version of Pearl running her Café. They also reported back that the younger version of Solarflare somehow knew they would try to find him and seek his help, they were surprised at how easy it was to get his help.

The reports after those were mostly about still trying to figure out how to break the Cycle of Rebirth. One day, Black came to visit Trace’s place again. While Solarflare and Trace left the lab, Black decided to call the kids to check on them. To his surprise, the one who picked up the call wasn’t Sparkle nor Maxwell. It was someone who he hadn’t heard from for many years, his mother, Sadie. Sadie asked who called Sparkle and Maxwell to which Black told her his name. Recognizing her son, Sadie was told Black that “his friends” were upstairs in Frost’s room and asked if he wanted them to answer his call. Black told her he just wanted to check if Sparkle and Maxwell were doing alright and knowing that they were inside his parents’ house was enough.

Sadie mentioned that Black sounded a little older than he should be which Black brushed it off as having a cold. With that information, Sadie recalled that her son left for another city, she told Black to take good care of himself, not knowing that she was actually talking to the alternate future version of her son. Black replied that he would. Sadie told Black that Frost’s hatchday was coming up and asked him when he would return home. Black, at that point, began tearing up, telling his mother he would be home eventually.

Sadie told Black that she and her husband were proud of him before ending the call. At that moment, Solarflare returned to the lab. He found Black with tears in his eyes which was something he had never seen before. Solarflare asked Black whether he was okay to which Black replied yes. Solarflare then asked Black why he was crying if he was feeling alright. Black told him that he had never been so happy.

After several more reports, Sparkle informed that her uncle that she and her half-brother managed to get the younger version of her father and uncle to recover and activate the last missing piece of Amorphnism. Trace asked her if the T-Energy Core stopped working which she replied yes. After receiving the good news, Trace told them to return home which they did.

Once returned, Sparkle and Maxwell were greeted by Zero the Glaceon, Taylor the Leafeon, and Fluffy who was still an Eevee. The five of them hugged. Taylor asked the half-siblings what it was like to be in the other world. Maxwell said it was almost the same as what their world was and that they had fun there, but there were still things he wished to forget.

Zero asked them what it was. Sparkle whispered before Maxwell, saying the younger version of his mom tried to flirt with him. All kid except Maxwell laughed while Sunshine and Axel smiled and looked at them from distance.

Since then, everyone carries on to pursue their own dream and lives a normal, happy life.
