Sincerity's split tail swished calmly as he put the book down. He closed his eyes. It was almost like he knew this would happen from the start. Maybe he did know from the start.

Fae stood her ground, preparing herself to use Sand Attack or Quick Attack. Something to help defeat this gray Espeon. Or maybe the Espeon would give up. But if Fae knew one thing from fighting Skliros in that battle is that villains never stop.

The Espeon didn't move from his position. "I assumed this would happen eventually," he remarked, approaching as the other Pokémon got tense.

He noticed and chuckled. "Oh please. We can settle this in a more civil way, don't you agree Fae?" He remarks with a casual smirk.

What? How did he know Fae's name?

The Espeon's red gem glowed softly as he stared at Fae expectantly with his golden eyes.

"Uhm," Fae began. She didn't know how to respond to this. Should she just respond with an answer? Should she ask why he knew her name.

The gray Espeon only chuckled. "Yes, I know your name. Dimas has told me all about you. I was starting to wonder when you and your family would arrive, young Bellsprout."

This Espeon was a weird one. Instead of being aggressive he was so casual and calm. He must have known this was how it would go.

"So you don't want to fight us?" The dark green Fennekin asked. His tail was bushed up, expectantly.

This question caused the Espeon to turn towards the Fennekin. "It was never me who wanted to fight you. I was just following orders. I guess I was found out. Yes you were lied to. I lied about what truly happened with the Eevee Village. I feel utterly terrible for what I've done."

The gray Espeon flung the book over towards the group. Fae and the others looked at the book before the Espeon continued.

"Long ago, before any of our time, an Eevee lived together peacefully with a Fennekin. I'm sure you must know this part of the story as well as the other part involving the Eevee betraying his friend and killing him. However, what you may not know is that while the Eevee village above may be tricked and deceived by the history I have written, it is all for a cause. It's no good cause for sure, but it was enough for the still alive Eevee at that point to want to bury what truly happened."

Every Pokémon gasped.

"Why would an Eevee want to bury the past? What was this Eevee's reasoning?" Neri questions with curiosity in her steadfast gaze. She had her paws near her mouth from the shock.

It's just like what mother did! Fae thought sadly. She looked at the ground.

Fae felt a tail lay on her shoulder. She met gazes with her brother who only nodded grimly in understanding. He must've thought the story was similar as well.

Fae knew that however similar it was to Izar's methods, it would always be nothing like Izar's trickery. Izar wasn't manipulative to keep secrets over a death. In fact, she would glorify it. This Eevee Tribe seemed to want to hide the murder of the Fennekin and keep it within only a few close and trustworthy eyes.

"Well, the founder Eevee felt guilty for what he had done to the Fennekin friend he used to be friends with. He had attacked the Fennekin tribe for a selfish reason, and wanted to make it look like it was the Fennekin tribe's fault for what happened. The Eevee founder was selfish. He saw a beautiful female Fennekin. He wanted her all to himself, but she was already aquatinted with his Fennekin friend." Sincerity explained.

The gray Espeon cleared his throat when Fergus yawned and continued.

"Out of jealousy and rage, the Eevee founder slashed down his Fennekin friend in private when they went to go talk out about the territory owned. Misunderstood for wanting to have power, the Eevee was attacked when they realized the Fennekin was dead. He was sent packing back to his own territory, guilty of what he had done. Deciding that the Eevee tribe didn't deserve this sort of knowledge, he sealed away the information in Pokémon such as me—someone like a close scribe or Pokémon who is a seer. He asked them to rewrite the history book many times to make it look even more like the Fennekin tribe was the one who did it."

"Damn." Corvus remarked in horror.

"Damn indeed little one." Sincerity remarked. He sighed. "I had just written in the history books again when you lot came down. I'm really sorry for all the trouble these myths and legends have put you through. Yes, the Fennekin tribe is indeed the one who was wronged, and I am sorry to all the Fennekin  and Braixen in the room for the lies I have pushed."

Fae was about to speak before the darker colored Eevee ran down the stairs with an angered expression on his face. "What the hell, Sincerity! You weren't supposed to tell them any of this!"

A crazy Swift attack hit everyone in the room. Fae didn't let it make her fall, though. She would fight this elder Eevee if she had to.

"But we're lying to innocent Pokemon! Only the elders and I know this lie. We should have told everyone ages ago!" Sincerity exclaimed as fired back a Swift of his own.

The attack hit the dark brown Eevee who skittered and hit a wall. A bruise was starting to form.

"The reputation of the founder Eevee is more important than the knowledge of common Eevee!" The dark brown Eevee roared. He fired a Double Edge, not caring about the recoil damage he was doing to himself.

He hit Mauve. The purple Vaporeon fell like a dummy on the floor. She shook herself off as she got up. She fired back an Aqua Jet. This knocked back the dark brown eevee.

The Fennekin elders joined the fight. The black one used Flame Charge and knocked the dark brown Eevee against the wall. The dark brown Eevee had magenta colored eyes, and stood his ground.

"But the village is what we stand for. They deserve to know the truth, Amos! We can't just trick them like the first Eevee did! That makes us no better than him! We have to take responsibility for what he did. The Fennekin tribe didn't deserve this war." Dimas informed him with a melancholy glance towards the Fennekin elders and Pervaiz.

Pervaiz only stared at Amos with pity. Amos tried to shrink away. "They truly didn't." Amos remarked, staring at the ground.

He then surprised everyone by using Iron Tail on Pervaiz who almost got gutted by the brutal elder's tail. Thankfully, Amos didn't seem to be aiming for a kill.

Fae took a step forward in warning. Amos glared at her as if her stepping forward was a big deal.

"But your tribe didn't let up now did it?" The dark brown Eevee snarled, flashing his yellow teeth for a brief second before starting to shake and back away. "They continued to murder innocent Eevee and Eeveelutions instead of trying to find a solution! Especially now, you killed dozens of our members each fight. That's a lot of Pokémon who could have aged well. But no, you were the ones who truly wanted this war now did you?"

Parvaiz and the elder Fennekin protested. "No we didn't!" The dark green one began before the pinkish one continued for him. "We never wanted the war to go this far. Plenty of Fennekin, Braixen, and Delphox are dead too. This is both of our faults for letting this continue. We want peace, Elder Eevees. Please, we just wanted justice for our poor leader Fennekin who was murdered for a stupid reason."

"Yeah. I'm sure the First Fennekin is looking down on us with his wife shaking his head." The black one added with a somber look in her gaze.

"We just wanted you guys to apologize for what your Eevee leader did. We could be great allies if we all weren't so stubborn." Parvaiz remarked.

"I say we do it." Sincerity agreed with a smile on his face. He snapped a paw, and the history books started to burn.

"What?! I never agreed to this!" Amos screeched as he used Shadow Ball. Fae jumped in front of the attack without thinking. Thankfully, she took minimum damage.

"Why you little brat!" He roared.

Parvaiz held out his stick. "Calm down. I'm sure we don't need to get outside sources involved in this affair, do we?" The lime green Braixen was almost shivering. He had a technological device in his paws.

How did he get that? And how did he know about such advanced tech?

Well, Fae thought. It would be unfair to say that the technological disadvantaged Eevee village is the same as the Fennekin one. I do remember seeing a few electric wires.

Amos shivered. "No, I'd rather not get any of those idiots involved. They would relish taking down an Eevee of my coloring." He remarked as he still stood his ground, however stopped his attacks.

"I suppose you want to tell the Village about this hoax now." He remarked sadly.

"Of course." Sincerity commented as he strode out. The rest of them followed to a different sight.

A loud roar rang out, and a Luxray was standing between the two legendary wolf heroes of many battles; their eyes glowed pink with hypnosis.

Oh no! Not again! Fae pondered in annoyance as she and the others prepared to face their toughest foes yet.

It was already one thing to face one legendary, but facing three? Was this even plausible? They were about to find out.
