THE EEVEE PROJECT
Part 1 - Enter Evelyn
by Somber Skies

          Pallett was a town with an amazing history. Many years ago, a trainer named Ash Ketchum
had started his Pokemon journey here; with the aid of Prof. Oak, the Pokemon professor -- a revered
researcher of his time. Some time after that, there was the Prophecy of Mew, and that Team Rocket
scare some years back. But today, Pallett has somewhat quieted down. Many veteran trainers now live
here in large, luxurious houses with swimming pools and day spas. And every night, you could sit by
the lake and watch the sun set. 

There are also a few newer families who live amongst the retired Pokemon masters -- the
Villerwoods, and the Ruilens. But this story, which would end up in history books some fifty years
from now, centers around the Shadowstorm family. 

The Shadowstorms were no ordinary family, as some would say. But of course, that is the oldest line
ever used. The Shadowstorms were wonderful Pokemon Trainers -- but unlike some, they only trained a
certain type of Pokemon, one with extraordinary powers, and a great mystery to even ourselves -
Eevee. Yes, the Shadowstorms loved Eevee. The oldest, Dawson, he had trained a Flareon since the day
he could walk. And the second oldest, Matthew, would never go anywhere without his Jolteon. The next
one down, Jaxson, well, his Vaporeon is more than just a Pokemon to him. Next comes the twins,
Alyssa and Ashley, who recieved an Espeon and an Umbreon on the day of their first birthday.

Now the character in which this story focuses on is the youngest, Evelyn Shadowstorm. This
fourteen-year-old has merely an Eevee, no evolution at all. But Evelyn firmly believes that Pokemon
should not be used to battle, that they are the innocent animals of our world and they should be
treated as such.

As it was told to myself, Evelyn had found her Eevee when she was born; but...she more sensed her,
actually. About ten minutes after Evelyn had been all cleaned up, her father had come to see her.
"Hi, baby. Hello!" Her parents still hadn't thought of a name for her, as of yet. Cute baby Evelyn
was laughing at her dad making funny faces, when all of a sudden - she stopped and turned her head
towars the window and started crying "Eh! Eh!". Immediately, her dad's attention had gone to the
window -- a man in a dark jumpsuit with a red 'R' on the shirt looked like it was Poke-napping an
Eevee.

Seconds later, her father ran outside - and the man was gone. Evelyn's father hurried over to the
poor, struggling Eevee and set it free. The Eevee smiled and barked a thank-you to the man who had
saved her. But she didn't want to leave him, for some reason.

And later that night, little Evelyn had a friend to cuddle with while she slept in her crib. From
what I heard, Evelyn was named such because of the nickname "Eevee-lynn". 

And so begins the Eevee Project.

A/N: This is my first Pokemon fan fiction - hope you like it. I ALWAYS wanted an Eevee adventure, so
here it is. Please comment me, as well. I love getting feedback. And I realize that the whole Evelyn
in the hospital sense Eevee outside thing was a little hokey, but I have to get the story started
somehow. Don't worry, you'll thank me later. ;)
