Equestrian Eeveelution.

A Kernal of Truth.

I looked around at the room. All of the unicorns and Silver were gaping like landed Magikarp, but the majority of us were confused. I leaned towards Rainbow, hoping to get some form of clarification.

"What's a kernal?" Thankfully, Scootaloo spoke up first.

"It's where magic comes from." Sweetie answered.

"It's a little more complicated then that." Rarity allowed.

Twilight nodded. "Quite. A kernal is a meta-physical organ that converts potential energies into mana, which can in turn be used to empower, enchant, or cast spells. Since every living thing on Equis has a kernal, including vegetation, life has evolved here to need mana to properly function. This is why mana exhaustion is so dangerous, and why anypony can suffer from it, and why having a kernal that doesn't, or can't, produce enough mana means hospitalization."

"And that's not even the most exciting part!" Moon Dancer added. "Here's the kicker: Twilight only said 'a kernal'. As in singular. One." She jabbed a hoof at the image. "These Eevees have four! Four! And they're putting out more mana then they can use, to the point that it passively heals them. Can you imagine what else the extra kernals let them do?"

<<Solar Flares, apparently.>>

"This may even explain their weather manipulation abilities!"

Twilight chuckled. "Down, Moony. If older theories are to be believed, and this discovery potentially confirms, Star Swirl the Bearded was born with an extra kernal."

"Sorry," Moon Dancer nervously smiled, "I'm just curious if this is the cause behind their rapid mutation and evolution. But what would cause a species to evolve such a mutation?" She paused, tapping her chin. "Wasn't Star Swirl also rumored to have a font? Maybe the two may be connected?" She turned to address the rest of the group. "A font is the basically the opposite of having a kernal that doesn't make enough mana, but makes too much."

"Maybe," Twilight allowed, "but we won't know for sure until we can confirm a font. But that's not important right now. Notice how two of Leo's kernals dimmed? Notice how one dimmed with the use of her Solar Flare, and another with her Agility? It may be possible that an Eevee's abilities are grouped, and each group pulls from a different kernal?"

<<Attack, Special attack, Defense, and Special Defense?>> I heard Yomega mutter. <<No, where would buffing fit in?>>

"And there's something else I'm now curious about." Twilight continued, gesturing to the hoodied filly amongst us. "Silver's earlier comment made me wonder: what does a summon's scans look like? For that, I'll need to either borrow Zephyr or Eros." She glanced at the fillies. "Failing their cooperation, I can always summon up one myself."

"Sorry, Twilight," Spike interrupted, "your license's expired. You still haven't sent the forms in."

Twilight frowned, obviously making a mental note. Eros rolled her eyes, put on her earmuffs, and teleported into the scanner's bowl. With the decision made for us, Moon Dancer turned the machine on. Once we realized what was going on, the Pack all scrambled to get theirs back on. Noticing my struggle, Rainbow jammed mine on just in time.

The screeching filled the basement, all of us waiting for the baseline to be set. Soon enough, Twilight gestured to Sweetie, who in turn nodded. Next thing I know, I'm being suspended in the air within the little Ralts' mental might.

... I hate psychic types... I grumbled as I floated. I really hope she puts me down before letting go. With that thought, I landed on my ass. I shot a glare at the feeling Pokemon, and I swear I saw a slight smile. You did that deliberately, didn't you?

"Did I?"

"Right, outta our head."

"W-what?"

And stay out! I glanced at the ceiling. Unless I invite you in! I huffed.

I felt hooves wrap themselves around me. "You okay, Leo?" Rainbow whispered.

<<I hate her types...>> I grumbled to her.

"You don't like Raltses?"

<<No, psychic types.>>

"Yeah, that's not translating well." Rainbow sighed. "Let's just see what the eggheads have figured out."

I looked over at the two mares pouring over the small screen. <<Looks like they may be a while...>>

"Get this on the projector!" Twilight exclaimed.

Moon Dancer faced the group. "We need to get your opinions on this!" A new set of images appeared, quickly cycling through the skeletal, organ, and general body structure, the hemograph , and stopped on the leygraph. At least, according to Yomega. Just as with our scans, Eros' also had a large area with a pervasive glow, this one centered around her head. She also had a smaller one in her chest area.

Thunderlane progressed the reel until it showed the dimming of the glow. "Here is her lifting Leo." Twilight explained. She pointed to the larger distortion. "This is where Eros' largest kernal is." Her hoof moved to Eros' chest. "And here are her other three. What do you girls think this means?"

Silence grew as those of us who didn't travel dimensions tried to figure it out.

Oddly, Silver figured it out first. "Are... are you saying that Eevees are a type of summon?"

"But where's their circle?" Apple Bloom asked. "An' if they don' have one, what about Zann's leg? No offence." She looked over at the orange canine.

Zann just curled his tail around himself.

"That's just it!" Moon Dancer smiled. "Think about it. If there's a circle, who summoned them?"

"Sorry, but, um..." Fluttershy tried to speak up. "From what they told me, I don't think they were summoned."

"Then why haven't they been banished yet?" Moon Dancer continued, pointing at Zann. When no one answered, she sighed and explained. "It means that these Eevees must be a naturalized version of a summon, and one the circles haven't ever seen before! When were they summoned? Why were they summoned? Why wasn't the summon documented? What caused them to be stuck here? What did they look like before they naturalized into these?"

"Now we're entering into theorycrafting." Twilight began.

Moon Dancer snorted. "Or, as Headmaster Brain Pan calls it, "Mass Wild Ass Guessing"."

"Yeah," Twilight rolled her eyes, "that. Unfortunately, That's going to take a lot of work, pouring over everything we've discovered so far. We can only ask that we keep the Pack available for any future experiments." She paused in thought. "Maybe even your summons, girls."

A slight crack signaled Eros absconding with Sweetie.

Scootaloo looked at the vacant spot. "Ye~ah, good luck with that."

So did sweetie just get abducted by a terrified pokemon

[gerandakis]

Mhh ... so they're getting closer to the truth ...

which can in turn used

be used

These Eevee's have four

even assuming she doesn't know that the word Eevee is its own plural, that apostrophe has no business there.

<<Attack, Special attack, Defense, and Special Defense?>> I heard Yomega mutter. <<No, where would buffing fit in?>>

Come on, Yomega. That's obviously an in-universe explanation for the four-move limit.

[Breakfateschain]

I’d say this is leaning towards Leo evolving into something weak to Psychic types, but there are no Fighting or Poison type Eeveelutions

[Breakfateschain]

Except they’ve been shown to have more than 4 moves in the story

[ThePonyWriterThing]

THE "W-What?"

NEVER GONNA FORGIVE YOU NOW
NEVER GONNA LET THIS GO
NEVER GONNA ROLL AROUND
AND HATE YOU

[DeathKing]

That or she ends up as a Psychic type.

[Void Runner]

Just supports my Theory that Leo's going to be an Espeon, considering the earlier comment from a Zann 4th Wall Break saying to "Ask Leo" about not always getting what we want. Considering how much she Hates Psychic types, I can definitely see her Hating becoming one, at least until she figures out some of the advantages. I also find Leo's interactions with Eros to be interesting, in particular the ease with which she is able to keep/kick Eros out of her head, which seems to support my earlier ideas that she's passively psychic despite not being an active psychic type...

But of course, this is just me Theory crafting, or as TwilightMoondancer says this chapter; "Mass Wild Ass Guessing".

[Herald of Opera]

9762407
But at any one time? Leo at least has definitely forgotten at least one move.

[Jirodyne]

9762512
They compared notes pretty early on in the story, where each of them had learn some of the same moves, but also wildly different moves. Like Leo being the only one to learn any Weather Movies, and the Leafeon was the only one to learn some healing movies before evolving I think. Either way, some of the lists of moves they knew was short, but some were over 9+ moves they could do on the spot right then and there.

Chapter: Taking Stock

“Look,” Yomega began, “I’m going to come right out and say this. We shouldn’t keep our move list a secret from the rest of us. That way, we all know what the others are capable of at any given time. To be fair, I'll go first. Aside from the basic Tackle, Tail Whip, and Growl, I’ve got Quick Attack, Refresh, Glare, and Synchronoise.”

I listed mine off with a raised paw. “Basic three, plus Glare, Quick Attack, Flail, Sunny Day, Bite, and Rain Dance.”

“Double Team, Echoed Voice, Helping Hand, and Quick Attack.” Vince and Cy chorused.

“Charm, Baby-Doll Eyes, Attract, and Mimic.” Lulu stated.

Conner spoke up next. “I have all her moves, but I have Swift instead of Mimic, as well as Dig.”

Zann pointed at Yomega. “My list is similar to his, except I have Swift instead of Quick Attack.”

“Let’s see.” Abes placed a paw to his chin. “Confuse Ray, Moonlight, Pursuit, and Shadow Ball. I don’t seem to recall how to use Growl, Tackle and Tail-whip…”

We all looked at Villhiem. “Baby-Doll Eyes, Razor Leaf, Giga Drain, and Protect.”

Yomega nodded. “Okay, now that we all know that, I think it should be one’s responsibility to inform the rest of us when one learns a new move.”

Only Abes has 4 more, the others have at least 7, the 'Basic 3' + 4 other movies. But Leo, who I highlighted for you, lists the Basic 3 AND 6 other moves on top of that for a total of 9. I believe the only one she has 'Forgotten' was Quick Attack which she upgraded with Training to a far more faster and advance version, aka Agility I think it is. So less forgetting a move, and more replacing it with a better. Like upgrading from Ember to Flamethrower through training how to breath fire. At it's core the 'Same' move, just done better and more effecient and better trained.

Even just now, in the story so far which caused this current 'Mess', was Leo literally learning a brand new move, and she did NOT forget one when she did it.

9762626
You’re thinking of Quick Attack being replaced with Extreme Speed.

Agility is a different move that just enhances Speed by 2 stages, as opposed to the other moves which provide priority in attack order

[Gizmo Gear]

Four kernals definitely equates to four moves. No doubt.

Edit: that being said, I have a question. What are their levels? And their stats for that matter?

[Gizmo Gear]

9762407
Yes, but they can only use four of their moves at any given time. Like, in battle?

[Steakthedog]

9762480
actually that's moondancer.

[falconstrings]

am i the only one who thought that the abbreviation of "Mass Wild Ass Guessing" would be M-W.A.G.?
also great chapter

[Time Code]

9762480
Also, espeons evolve due to high friendship in the presence of a sun shard, or during the morning. There is definitely a link between sunny day and espeons there, thematically at least.

[Void Runner]

9762789
Fixed.

[Jirodyne]

9762684
Right, a move I don't think existed back when I played, or if it did was never one I saw, noticed, or used. Plus she hasn't used it in a while lol.

[Breakfateschain]

9763345
Extreme Speed has been around since RBY, but not many people knew about it because until Ruby/Sapphire it was Arcanine exclusive

[Symphonicdysonince]

9762382
Fixed! Thanks again.

[Zapper Frost]

9763345
Extreme speed is the move leo uses the most

[Jirodyne]

9763630
True, I meant more of saying the name. It's more 'She runs really fast". So I don't see the name a lot, and thus not remembering the name after repeated exposure.

9763346
Yeah, I never use Arcanine, or have any 'Fast Attacks' like Quick Attack, Extreme Speed, or anything. I usually like to play pokemon that look cool, or build a type theme, usually ghost theme. But then again, I haven't played a Pokemon game since like Pokemon Black and White was brand new and I never had a 3ds to play it lol.

Morality is based on mutual self aid. If an action causes two people to become happy woth no major penalty to anyone else, it is morally good.

Its a symbiotic bond.

[DNC]

Wonder how the circle is going to react. How many have Read the google docks set up by abenbadens? At first i thought leo was going to be a oc flying type, but after reading about a theory for her becoming a espeon i find my self agreeing and hoping it is right. Another point to it, espeon evolve with high friendship in the day. leo and rainbow are close enough to form a soul bond.

[Adenbadens]

"Then why haven't they been banished yet?" Moon Dancer continued, pointing at Zann. When no one answered, she sighed and explained. "It means that these Eevees must be a naturalized version of a summon, and one the circles haven't ever seen before! When were they summoned? Why were they summoned? Why wasn't the summon documented? What caused them to be stuck here? What did they look like before they naturalized into these?"

*Cough* called this realization forever ago *cough*

9776615
Thanks for reading the doc! It’s super out of date because on the days I had available in July, my computer was broken! Yaaaay! And now that it’s fixed I have no time!

9763664
I personally am playing through Moon with what I call “Tinyteam” Ribombee, Clefkey, Minior, that sort of thing.

[Black--Soul]

I can see it now... Eve pack get target by over eagerly guild members to get famous and the pack cracking Skulls to get em in line

[Adenbadens]

I had a professor who called it S.W.A.G. Short for Scientific Wild Ass Guessing.

[112mag211]

OMG That's amazing

[chibilink]

I looked around at the room. All of the unicorns and Silver were gaping like landed Magicarp, but the majority of us were confused.

[Master king]

Moon Dancer snorted. "Or, as Headmaster Brain Pan calls it, "Mass Wild Ass Guessing"."
