Sandy

This Eevee, nicknamed Sandy, is a -type Pokémon owned by Lana. Prior to his capture, he was the main character of the Where Are You Going, Eevee? mini-segments, eventually making his proper main series debut in the episode We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!.
==Personality==
Ever since his debut, Sandy has shown himself to be curious and naïve. He is also upbeat, frequently greeting others around him amiably or sniffing them in an inquisitive manner. However, he can also come off as somewhat inconsiderate, such as when he unintentionally scared a Wimpod while chasing it and caused a Pyukumuku to punch it. He is also quite gluttonous, as he always gets exhilarated upon seeing any type of food.
Thanks to his past experiences with Mantine, Sandy became an expert swimmer, having a love for the ocean and evenly matching his best friend and teammate, Primarina.
Sandy cares deeply for his friends and would go out of his way to protect them, as shown when his good friend Mantine, along with other Mantine, was captured by Team Rocket. Sandy also developed a close friendship with Shaymin, Snowy, and Ash's Pikachu. Sandy is close with his Trainer's family, especially Harper and Sarah.

After that, Sandy decided to go with Lana and became one of her partners. Sandy shares a close bond with Lana and is very loyal to her. Also, Sandy shares some of the same traits as Lana and enjoys sitting on her shoulder or head. At the end of the series, Sandy accompanied Lana on her fishing adventure with her dad.

Not only are Sandy and Primarina teammates, but they're also great friends. They enjoy each other's company and would do anything for one another. In addition, Sandy and Primarina work well together as a team.
==Biography==
Once a nameless Eevee, Sandy was walking along happily by the docks until he spotted a bowl of food. Sandy eagerly devoured the food until realizing the food bowl belonged to an angry Houndour, which began to chase the surprised Eevee. After managing to lose the Darkness Pokémon in a crowd of people, Sandy stood on a boat, brushing his bangs away from his eyes and marveling at the view of the ocean.Where Are You Going, Eevee?
When a Wailord shook the ship, Sandy was revealed to be sleeping inside a crate, which fell into the sea. Upon waking up, Sandy began to panic and started to drown after falling from the now sinking crate he was on. However, he was rescued by a wild Mantine, who soon took Sandy to a safer destination. As Sandy and Mantine approached the land, they had a little fun playing on the waves, where they passed by a boat holding Lana's father. Eventually, they reached Melemele Island, where Sandy was dropped off on the beach and they bid each other farewell. Sandy soon noticed and chased a Wimpod in an attempt to talk with it, but the Wimpod was terrifed by his playful Tackle. Although unable to fit himself into the cave where Wimpod hid, Sandy noticed some Nanab Berries on the top of the island's forest trees above the beach, simply by pure luck.
After waking up and eating Berries for breakfast, Sandy over-enthusiastically greeted a nearby Pyukumuku, but he was then hit with an uppercut by the scared Pokémon. However, water balloons caught Sandy in the air and the Pyukumuku who punched it. Sandy found the source of these balloons to be from Lana's Popplio, who was playing with Ash's Pikachu and the rest of their Alolan Pokémon friends, and finally got the chance to meet them. While swimming with Popplio, Sandy's swimming was revealed to be improved, thanks to his experiences with Mantine, and Popplio was impressed. However, while playing with his newfound friends, Sandy accidentally hit one of Turtonator's back spikes, which then exploded. Although only Sandy, Pikachu, Sophocles' Togedemaru and Kiawe's Marowak got hit, Marowak's scolding of Sandy was cut short when he, Marowak and their friends laughed when they noticed that Pikachu was revealed to only have a head-burn, instead of a full body burn. Sandy later brought the fruits from his tree to have lunch with his friends. In the afternoon, when his friends needed to return to their Trainers, Sandy bid them goodbye and promised to meet again somewhere.
Sandy was eating some berries in his cave before trying to make friends with a Furfrou, which got annoyed by it. After the Furfrou left with its Trainer, Sandy thought about his new friends and decided to find them. While looking through town, Sandy saw Popplio in the arms of her Trainer, Lana, then followed them into the store they were going to. Sandy greeted a Persian, who had caused some trouble for his friends and their Trainers in the past. Believing it to be a new friend, Sandy soon realized that it did not want to be a friend when Persian attacked him, causing him to run away. Sandy being chased was noticed by Popplio, who was getting some malasadas with her trainer for a dinner they were having with Lana's family. She promptly left her Trainer to help him. Hiding in a bush, Sandy was found by Popplio. He was filled with joy to see one of his new friends again. However, Sandy unknowingly left his tail hanging out of the bush they were hiding in, which the Persian noticed. When discovered by Persian, Sandy and Popplio ran as fast as they could, escaping with Popplio's Aqua Jet. Sandy and Popplio landed in the stream but were pleased to know that they were no longer being chased, then swam away. After ending up on the beach in the outskirts of the city, Sandy discovered some Pokémon belonging to Team Skull, angering them by using Tackle to greet them. After Team Skull showed up to check on their Pokémon, Sandy was pulled around by Rapp, who wanted the Evolution Pokémon for herself, and Tupp, who wanted an Eevee to make him popular with girls.SM099: We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!
However, Sandy was saved when Lana, Lillie, Mallow, Sophocles and Ash, who had been looking for Popplio, showed up. Pikachu used Quick Attack to get the Team Skull Grunts to let go of the Eevee and Popplio catches him before he fell into the sand. Seeing Popplio with her Trainer and remembered her from before, Sandy greeted Lana and was amazed by her compassion when he saw how much she cared for his best friend. Also, upon seeing his other new friends, minus Turtonator and Marowak, again, Sandy was filled with joy and Tackled them in affection. This act surprised their Trainers, as they realized that the Eevee knew their Pokémon. While Rapp and Tupp still argued about who got to keep him, Sandy was grabbed by Lana and witnessed Ash yelling at them that they were not giving him to either of the grunts because of their behavior. After being set down by Lana, then seeing that she and Popplio were determined to protect him, Sandy was inspired to battle Team Skull alongside them, jumping onto some -type Pokémon to get on top of the waves created by Popplio's newly learned Surf. He then used Double-Edge to send the Team Skull Grunts blasting off.
Sandy was praised by Popplio and their friends for his efforts. After Kiawe, who was also looking for Popplio, arrived at the site, Sandy and Popplio were praised by Lana for their teamwork as they played in the water together. Sandy was wiping the water off his face when he was approached by Lana, who realized that he really liked her. She asked him if he wanted to join her and Popplio. Wanting to be with Lana, his best friend and its other friends, Sandy happily accepted the offer of becoming one of her partners. He then was caught in a Dive Ball, which marked the end of his old life as a wild Pokémon and the beginning of his new life with his new Trainer and friends.
