## Plot

One day after Special Chapter 8, Silvia is tying the red ribbon that Leaf gave to Sunshine for her. Sunshine gratefully thanks Silvia and thanks Leaf as well, who is still depressed after learning more about her father's actions in the last chapter. Lazuli tries to comfort her and thinks she isn't being a good sister to Leaf, though Leaf assures her that she is fine. Pearl mentions how Lazuli and Silvia punched Speed yesterday and Sunshine is surprised. Silvia feel justified for hitting Speed, but Lazuli feels guilty for hurting him. Lazuli is still worried about Leaf and apologizes for being a bad sister to her, but Leaf asks if Lazuli would be able to forgive someone, which is their dad. Leaf was about to tell her who to forgive, but due to Lazuli over willingness to do anything for her sister, she deiides to tell Lazuli to forgive herself instead. Then, Axel and Speed enter the room to check on Sunshine. Solarflare also enters and wants to help Leaf with her sadness. Lazuli and Speed also say that they can help her, and Crystal, Pearl, Silvia, and Sunshine also say that they will help her too if she needs it. Sunshine hugs Leaf and Leaf cheers up; Leaf later goes up to Flare and hugs him. Lazuli and Axel talk for a bit about and Lazuli mentions how she doesn't deserve a sister like Leaf. Axel comforts her by saying her that she is sweet already and that she can always have chances to change herself for the better, because what happens now is important; Speed also comforts her, but to a less successful degree. Silvia decides to go downstairs to find her brother, Gai, and when she leaves, Crystal tries to make Lazuli jealous by trying to get Speed to like Silvia. The remaining group talk about CC and they agree to send her back home once she regains all of her memories. The latter go downstairs to get ready to start their fourth day on vacation, but then they are all startled by CC, have Shadow CC beside her; Black charges a shadow ball while Pearl and Gai calm him down. Shadow CC introduces herself and apologizes for scaring them, mentioning that there are many Shadow CCs. The adults are distraught but the scene, except Frank who thinks his wife was the weirdest thing he seen in his life.

Later, the eeveelutions are eating in separated tables and Pearl and Gai ask if CC knows anything else about herself, but Black is fed up with having CC in the group. Speed tries to reason with him, but Black lashes out at him. Gai also tries to stop him, but then he mentions Speed as his "future brother-in-law", which dissolves the argument by going off topic and Pearl stops Black by mentioning Sunshine and Axel. Meanwhile, Flare, Leaf, and Crystal are wondering what is happening on the other table. Crystal wonders how Speed knew Black before they moved into the treehouse and is eager to find out, which Flare replies is cute. Crystal hugs her brother, but Flare is shocked that she called him brother. Mrs. Mollie tells them that if her children were still around, they would act like them. Crystal assurse her that her children would've been good people. Leaf asks Crystal to help Lazuli cheer up and she accepts. Ms. Mollie suggesst that Leaf and Flare should spend more time with her because she wants to know more about them, and they gladly agree. Rin interrupts, concerning about the threat that CC may pose, but Brian tells her that his daughter's, Pearl, trust in CC is proof that they can trust CC, but Rin is still skeptical. The other adults feel fine about CC, but Rin doesn't feel convinced.

Later, the group wonder in the island museum, with Frank being their tour guide. Frank shows them three statues of the legendary pokémon *Dialga*, *Palkia*, *Giratina*, and *Arceus*. Speed and Lazuli are fascinated, but Crystal and Silvia are bored. Somewhere else, Pearl confronts Leaf about her uncertainly, having read her mind, and notes how Leaf still misses her dad. Leaf tells her that she is still worried about his threat if they come back, but Pearl is certain that he changed his ways. Leaf agrees that he might've changed, but she decides to worry about it after their vacation, then she asks about CC. Pearl mentions how she is hard to read and worries if the police find CC, as they brought CC to the island without registration, making her an illegal trespasser. Meanwhile, Crystal asks Lazuli if she wants to hang out with her and Silvia to make her nicer. Lazuli is reluctant, but she decides to join them. Crystal lays four rules for Lazuli to be with them: Step 1: be happy; Step 2, be nice: Step 3, be adaptive; and Step 4, is to be more than friends, like sisters. Lazuli and Silvia are confused by the last rule, but then Sunshine asks for a piggyback ride from Silvia. Lazuli asks Sunshine where Axel is, mentions how his words moved her, but he is with his mom. Sunshine mentions how nice Axel is and Crystal sees that as a pairing, but Lazuli is ticked off about the idea, thinking it is weird. Silvia claims that Lazuli is having mother instincts, which Lazuli denies, and Crystal reminds her of Step 4, so Lazuli tries to bond with Sunshine and asks about her adoptive dad, Speed. Sunshine says he is busy listening to Frank, but Lazuli and Silvia promise her that they will try to get her closing with her adoptive dad; Lazuli is jealous about Silvia's relationship with Sunshine, but she denies it. Frank and the rest move on and Crystal mentions how Lazuli and Silvia would be good mothers for Sunshine, leading Lazuli to remember that Silvia said that Speed was his boyfriend, but she states that she was joking. Crystal states that Silvia has 5 points and Lazuli has 1; Silvia has 3 points for completing the first 3 steps and getting her and Sunshine's approval. Silvia wants to change the subject and Lazuli asks if they are cool, which she agrees. Sunshine states that Pearl, Leaf, Silvia, and Lazuli are like mothers to her, which leaves Lazuli and Silvia speechless; Lazuli gets 1 point for getting Sunshine's approval, though Sunshine says Crystal is like a sister, mostly because Crystal doesn't want to be referred to as an aunt. Silvia spots Speed talking with Bolt, who wants his son to be like Speed, and drags him from him. Sunshine hugs Speed and Lazuli remarks how bad a father Speed is for Sunshine, though he states that he didn't want to be one. Crystal tells him that the fact didn't stop him and Lazuli and Leaf tell Sunshine that she will spend more time, where Speed finally promises that he will more time with her. Crystal says something creepy and the latter are confused, but Axel comes in and playfully chases Sunshine, which the latter try to catch up with, but then Speed stops Silvia. Speed tries to stop Silvia from looking ahead, but she shakes him off and freezes when she discover show high up they are. Her family try to calm her, but they fail. Black tries to comfort her, but then Silvia hugs him to strongly that he breaks his back. Speed takes Silvia from Black, but then he get shis back broken.

Later, Silvia is being lifted by Pearl's psychic to prevent anymore harm. Speed recovers quickly due to his healing factor and asks if Black is alright, which puzzles Gai due to their bad relationship. Lazuli and Crystal talk about CC and Crystal hopes she doesn't ruin their vacation, though Pearl takes this with offense. Frank guides the group to Crystal Cave (not the mystery dungeon), an artificial cave made by the islanders; Brian makes a joke about how they can get free tours anytime they want with Frank. Frank tells them the cave was made to keep and fool a pokémon and that it isn't safe to look at it for too long; Brian pulls o camera out of his wife's fur. Frank leads them to the gift shop, presumably to calm down Silvia, and Flare buys an eyepatch. Leaf confronts Flare purchase of the eyepatch and Flare confesses that he is wearing it to hide his red eye when they are going to eat the chocolate cake that Bolt talked about later, and then he hugs her. Meanwhile, Silvia is adoring the dolls in the store, but then Speed unintentionally mentions how high they are, which makes Silvia hug Speed for comfort and breaks his back again. Gai tries to help Lazuli pick out a bow for her, but then he realizes that she isn't CC, which Lazuli responds by calling him a creep, though he doesn't want the kids to hear her. The group decides to move out, but CC waits behind to talk with Speed. Black is fed up with CC's nonsense, but Crystal is negative about his treatment, though he remarks hon ow she is ignorant like her brother, but not like Flare. Flare agrees with Crystal to not judge CC and Leaf mentions how CC remembered more things about having a brother named Frost, which interests Black.

Meanwhile, CC talks with Speed about a memory she just had where which he was in. She states there were two *Eevee*s and that they were against a *Lucario*, so they had to use elemental medals to fight him, similar to Special Chapter 1. Speed mentions how he touched that device before and promises to keep that memory a secret. He stares at his paws and then Speed 2.0 connects with him briefly and disconnects, confusing Speed. CC and Speed regroup with the latter and head off to a restaurant.

Later, the group has just finished a huge dinner and then Bolt serves the chocolate cake, which frightens Speed and Crystal and worries about Flare. Flare assures them that he is able to control himself and Leaf supports his claim by mentioning how she gives him chocolate multiple times before, making Speed and Crystal feel trustful of his claim. Suddenly, one of CC's eyes turn red and she excuses herself, which annoys Black. Speed and Lazuli decide to follow her, meanwhile, Fluffy takes control of Flare and follows them. Later, Fluffy, Speed, and Lazuli don't know about Fluffy's control, leads them to a desert area and they find CC with Shadow CC. CC warns them to get back, but after refusing, CC attacks them, revealing to be a Category 3 infected. Speed protects Lazuli, but then Fluffy confronts her and tries to speak with her, but then she throws him on a rock, making him bleed. Distressed, Speed attacks her and they duel. Flare gets up and recovers using a Sitrus berry, but Lazuli is worried about him. Speed pins CC and launches a barrage of punches but gets suplexed into the ground and Lazuli tries to stop CC. they punch each other simultaneously but CC's punch is superior and launches Lazuli through several meters, Lazuli dodges the next punch but hits a rock while running and knocks herself up, then Speed throws a huge rock at CC. During the fight, Fluffy crawls to a light orb, which it doesn't know what it is. Speed and CC trade punches and Speed pins her once again and prepares a punch until CC slashes Speed's paw off with a sharp rock next to her. Fluffy reaches the light orb but notices a voice similar to Flare's. Speed is furious and activates his Turbo Boost power, while his paw regenerates he pins her for the third time and prepares to attack CC, but then he gets connected with Speed 2.0, distracting him. CC blasts him in the chest, Speed then comes right back, but loses his Turbo Boost, and gets exhausted due to forgetting about the drawback, prompting CC to punch him in the head, creating a crater and smash him with a boulder. Then, Solar, now in the control of Flare, attacks CC with a powerful fire attack. Solar is distressed by his brother's demise, but remember that this is a timeline where Speed always lives with his healing factor. Solar tells CC to stop, but she doesn't listen, snapping Flare's eyepatch. Solar is easily able to knock down CC to her sense and she apologizes to him, and then she faints. Solar notes CC's power and remembers how he behaved similarly to her before. Solar begins to cries and mentions about how his powers are gone, along with others, and grieves about Starlight, wondering where she went, until he faints as well. Speed is resurrected and gets out of the ground in a new body, while Crystal is crying out for him. Lazuli hugs him and then Speed asks where is Flare, where he is knocked out. He notices how Flare's wounds have healed and then Lazuli notices how Speed's wounds have healed, prompting Speed to notice his death by CC. Speed claims that he just heals faster and refers to Lazuli by her name and not her species name, which surprises her. Speed gives Lazuli a Sitrus berry and notices that CC's wounds have healed as well, so they agree to not tell the rest what happened. Then, Flare wakes up and panics about where he is, thinking he blew up the restaurant. Meanwhile, the other group worries about what took the others so long, with a debate if they are lost or not. Speed, Lazuli, Flare, and CC get back with the group and the others are surprised about Lazuli's wounds, CC being fainted, Flare's lost eyepatch, and Speed's new appearance, where the latter are successfully able to make lies about what happened; Brian laughs at the fact that Lazuli "ran into a wall". Black doesn't buy it, but Pearl keeps him quiet. Silvia hugs Speed again and nearly suffocates Speed while Pearl tries to get her off. Frank announces that they will go to the Museum of Technology tomorrow, then they will go to the Game Plaza after, which excites the children. Rin is outraged about how everybody is ignoring all the suspiciousness of Speed's and Lazuli story, stating that CC must've done something to them. Frank and Bolt disagree with her, and after more fussing, Bolt calms her down by giving her chocolate cake. Frank announces that after tomorrow, they will go to the mall and then the hot springs.

Later, the group arrives in a plaza and decide to get more supplies. Black is mad about how CC ruined their trip so far, but Gai doesn't believe. Shadow CC comes out and mentions how CC has a virus and other 4 problems with her, which worries Lazuli and annoys Black even more. Shadow CC says that her other problems is that she would transform into a Latias if she get mad, she gets mad at Jack-in-the-boxes, and that CC hates being called a nasty girl, which awakes CC. She tells them that she has remembered two memories: she remembers how she escaped a cave to get revenge on her parents, and that she remembers turning into a Latias when a pack of Mightyenas killed her foster parents. Lazuli and Black notice CC's red eye and feel threatened, but Pearl keeps asking more questions, with Shadow CC revealing that CC is royalty, but CC was locked up by the king and queen. Another Shadow CC appears and remarks how nice CC was to the village, which prompts Shadow CC to mention how CC actually has a heart of gold. Shadow CC recalls that after CC got the Sin of Wrath, she turned the king and queen into stone, but spared eveyone else, and to that day she has decided to help everyone she can. The group are speechless, though Black doesn't believe it. Them, Lazuli and Flare decide to talk about what happened at the desert, but then Speed arrives and brings others with him: Elijah, Eddie, Koala, and Skylar (this is part of a mini crossover with PKM-150 and ElijahThePikachu). Everyone introduces themselves, but Black gets to his senses and talks with Speed about bringing more strangers into the group, being fed up with all that has happened. Speed decides to depart with the other group, which leaves Elijah and the others saddened. Black punches Speed for his stupidity and then they argue about CC. Black lashes out about the ludicrous that CC brought with her and that he is being sensible. Speed lashes at him and mentions how he has died many times and how if Black has in his position, he would insane. Black is stunned at Speed's claim and walks off, feeling ashamed. Frank finally finishes his tour and the group gets back home.

Later, Silvia, Lazuli, Crystal, and Sunshine are all in the bathroom talking while they wash themselves off, which Lazuli feels uncomfortable doing. Sunshine asks if Lazuli is now getting along with Silvia and Speed, which Lazuli believes so. Crystal breaks the 4th wall about how other characters stole their spotlight and they all decide to recap what has happened in the chapter. They recap the story in the chapter so far and banter about how some of them acted before. After it is over, Crystal mentions how Silvia always hugged Speed instead of anyone else, though Lazuli defends Silvia. Crystal asks Sunshine what would be her opinion of a good mother, either more like Lazuli or Silvia? Lazuli and Silvia are fed up with Crystal's weirdness and get Sunshine out, though they unknowingly follow Crystal's trap to be united.

Later, Sunshine is playing with a Sylveon doll, the doll Speed bought for Silvia in Main Chapter 4. Lazuli remembers how Silvia also threw out three guys out of the diner before. They decide to get over the past, but then Sunshine asks if she can call Silvia and Lazuli her mom, which makes the two speechless. Crystal pokes fun at the two, then Silvia reminds Lazuli of the steps again. Someone calls the girls for dinner and they leave off, while Lazuli and Silvia decide to allow Sunshine to them mommy. Lazuli and Silvia are at ease with each other, and the chapter ends.

* This is Eeveelution Squad's first and only crossover (in comic form) of any kind with another series, Adventures of Pokémon.
* Despite PKM-150 claiming that the chapter would be more cutesy and laid back, the chapter's material is only a quarter of that kind content.
* Rin references the video game *Resident Evil 7* when she talks about the group unwillingness to do anything about CC's powers.
* This is the first chapter where a character does a 4th wall break, and that is Crystal.
	+ However, the 4th wall breaks would get more intense later on.
