At one point Shadow and Lance got to a hillside. Shadow and Lance stopped to watch the sun rise and moon fall.

"Isn't it so beautiful this morning?" Lance asked Shadow.

"Yes..." Shadow was cut off and then turned a glowing blue color.

Lance looked at Shadow.

"Shadow!" Lance yelled. "You're evolving!"

Shadow couldn't answer, but he knew he was evolving. He also knew something was wrong. It didn't feel quite right.

The pain eased as the evolving stopped.

Lance looked at Shadow.

As Shadow had infered, something really was wrong.

Lance screamed.

A flush of heat rushed over Shadow. His heart was pounding.

"W- what's wrong?" Shadow dared to ask.

"S-s-shadow, you're..." Lance stuttered.

Lance then hit the floor. He had passed out.

Shadow didn't know this yet, but the sun and moon at once as well as the high friendship with Lance had done something to his genetics as he evolved.

Espeon and Umbreon genetics were pouring into his body as the Eevee ones left. It caused a rare hybrid eeveelution between an Espeon and an Umbreon.

Shadow was an Espbreon.
