Feather bounds through the forest, blood roaring in her ears. Flare ran beside her, panting. The bark of a Poochyena sounded behind them. She glances behind them, seeing the Poochyena not far behind. She pushes harder, leaping over logs and thickets. Feather looks behind her, not noticing the bramble in front of her. She whips her head around and quickly jumps. Her paw gets caught and she stumbles. Flare leaps over the bush and lands beside her. He sniffs her paw, recoiling as heat radiates off it. Feather looks up as the Poochyena gets closer. Flare growls and faces it, bristling. It leaps at him, snarling. Flare rolls out of the way and slams his paw onto its head. The Poochyena shakes its head, stunned. Feather jumps up and leaps onto its back. Flare rears up and swipes at its muzzle, growling. The Poochyena drops to the ground and starts to roll. Feather jumps off its back. It growls and gets up. Feather snarls, her tail lashing. Flare glares at the Poochyena. It leaps onto Flare, snarling. Flare yowls in surprise and he was bowled over. Feather stares in horror as the Poochyena attacked Flare. Flare yowls for help. Feather snarls and leaps onto the Poochyena. She lets anger consume her. Feather rakes her claws across the Poochyena. It yelps and tries to buck her off. Feather jumps off it, growling. She claws its eye. The Poochyena whimpers and bounds away. Feather rushes to Flare and noses his cheek. He stirs slightly, his eyes opening to slits. She sighs in relief and crouches down next to him. She licks his cheek, smiling. He smiles and gets up. Feather gets up, looking around. "We should get back home," Flare says. Feather nods and follows him to their den. It had been a year since her brothers evolved. Alder a Jolteon and Ray an Espeon. They left soon after and Feather only saw them at school. It had been a few months since Feather left her parents and found a new den with Flare. Flare had already evolved into a Flareon and Feather was getting better at controlling her anger. She follows Flare into their den. He lays down at the back of it, smiling. Feather curls up in the curve of his stomach. He lays his head on her back. Feather falls asleep.

Feather wakes up to a paw prodding her side. She opens her eyes to be met by Flare's warm green ones. She reaches up and licks his nose. He nuzzles her. "Do you know what today is," he asks. "No," she says. "It's your graduation," Flare smiles. Feather jumps up. "I completely forgot. Today I get to know what my evaluation is," she says. "Come on, we don't want to be late," Flare says, bounding out of the den. She follows him. Feather bounds into the clearing and looks around, her eyes bright. Flare nudges her towards the other Eevee. She sits down at the end of the line. Ripple steps forward. "Today we are gathered for the graduation of this generation of Eevee. Clover, Thistle, Shadow, and Feather, step forward," he yowls. Feather gets up and pads forward. "Your assessment will be to outrun Willow and work together in a team to safely make it back without her catching you," he says. Feather dips her head and follows Clover into the forest. She flicks her ears around, listening for any movement in the undergrowth. "Now remember guys, you don't have to outrun Willow. You just have to outrun Twisted," Clover growls. "What," Feather whimpers. Clover leaps onto Feather and claws her cheek. "You heard me," he growls. Feather squeaks in pain. Clover jumps off as he hear a rustling in the bushes. A Poochyena bursts through the bushes, growling. "Run," Clover yowls. Feather jumps up and runs after them, unsheathing her claws in desperation to outrun the Poochyena. Clover, Thistle and Shadow get farther and farther ahead.
(Flare's P.O.V)
Flare watches the edge of the clearing. He hears a rustling and a moment later Clover, Shadow, and Thistle bound into the clearing. Flare stares hopefully behind them. He rushes forward. "Where's Feather," he demands. Flare whips his head around as a yowl splits through the air. Flare bounds out of the clearing and towards the yowl.
(Feather's P.O.V)
Feather runs through the forest blindly. She feels something leap onto her from behind. She yowls in fear as she falls forward. She scrambles up and continues running. Orange fur flashes ahead and she skids to a stop. Flare runs up to her and licks her cheek. He tastes blood and looks at her cheek. He snarls and looks in the direction of the clearing. "Run," Feather pants. "What?" "Run!" Feather breaks out into a run, her eyes wild with fear. Flare runs beside her, his fur brushing her's. They run into the clearing. Ripple rushes over to them. Flare stalks towards Clover. "You did that on purpose," he snarls. "Did what," Clover asks innocently. Flare leaps onto Clover. "You almost got her killed," he snarls. Ripple grabs his scruff and pulls him off Clover. "I'm sure it was an accident. Besides they all passed," Ripple says. Feather jumps up, excitement rushing over her. "Thistle, come forward," Ripple says. Thistle steps forward and dips his head to Ripple. Sparks of light swarm around Thistle until he was fully covered. The light fades away and Thistle stood up, eyes shining. "Thistle has been gifted with the powers of Sylveon," Ripple yowls. Thistle steps back. "Shadow, step forward," Ripple says. Feather watches as Shadow turns into a Glaceon, and Clover into a Leafeon. "Feather, step forward," Ripple says. Feather steps forward and dips her head to Ripple. She closes her eyes as the light swarms around her. She hears gasps and opens her eyes. Red swarmed around her. "That usually means a dark future," she hears someone say. The red wisps away and she looks up at Ripple. "Feather has been gifted with the powers of Umbreon," he announces. Feather backs away, smiling. "We now announce you full Pokémon," Ripple yowls. "Clover, Thistle, Shadow, Feather!" Feather pads over to Flare and rubs her jaw along his. "Let's go hunting in celebration," he smiles. He bound away, Feather following. She was finally a full Pokémon and she was going to prove it.
