Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 301 Umbreon? But how did it learn Round Eyes?

As he spoke, Shigeru lifted up the sleeping Eevee from his arms.

"Ibuy~"

Ibu was woken up, yawned, and glared angrily at Natsume.

This Eevee is so cute, especially its eyes, which are round, wet, and like crystal balls filled with light.

"He woke you up, why are you glaring at me?"

Natsume gave Eevee a flick on the forehead.

"Ibuy!"

Ibu paused for a moment, then bent forward, seemingly wanting to scratch Natsume.

"Alright, Ibu!"

Xiao Mao brought Ibra back, and then said boastfully:

"Of course it's because Ibrahimovic and I are very close!"

"The friendship level seems pretty high, so you want the other one to evolve into Umbreon?"

Natsume glanced at it and found that this Eevee was of a pretty good level, just over level 30, and it was about time to evolve.

"Yes, today is the night of the full moon. I heard that Umbreon that evolves on this day will be even stronger!"

Xiao Mao puffed out his chest, full of passion.

Eevee in his arms, however, seemed uninterested. It nuzzled against Shigeru's chest and then fell asleep again.

"Get up and go back to sleep."

Natsume frowned and picked up Eevee.

"Ibuy!"

Ibu stared angrily at Natsume, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

However, those eyes were still incredibly beautiful, like a starry night sky, showing no trace of life.

"Its eyes are quite beautiful," Natsume remarked thoughtfully.

"Hmph, of course! I trained them exceptionally well; everyone says so!"

Xiao Mao stood up straight as a board, and continued:
"Besides, this is the Eevee I'm using to participate in the Pokémon Beauty Contest. Once it evolves into Umbreon, its eyes will definitely be even more beautiful and elegant!"

"Umbreon, it seems you've done your homework quite well."

Natsume, holding the Eevee that was flapping in mid-air, looked it over from left to right and replied as if talking to himself.

Umbreon is arguably the top Eevee in terms of both battle strength and team versatility.

The first Eevee will definitely evolve into Umbreon.

"Hmph, everything is difficult at the beginning. When my Umbreon appears in the Johto League, Ash will definitely be very surprised!"

Xiao Mao was extremely excited.

However, Natsume's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"You might be disappointed, this Eevee won't evolve into Umbreon."

Natsume seemed to have noticed something and shook his head.

"Ibuy?"

Eevee, which had been baring its teeth and making a lot of noise, stopped what it was doing.

It and its trainer turned their heads at the same time, their bewildered eyes looking at Natsume.

"How is that possible? If I remember correctly, it's about getting enough friendship and then evolving at night, which is Umbreon!"

Xiao Shigeru was certain that Natsume was joking with him again.

"Your Eevee has learned Round Eyes."

Natsume grabbed Eevee by the scruff of its neck, turned it around, and stared intently at Shigeru with its big, wet eyes, looking utterly pitiful.

"Round pupils?"

Xiao Shigeru was taken aback, took out his encyclopedia, and began searching.

[Yuantong, a fairy-type skill, uses her cute round eyes to stare at the opponent, thereby reducing their attack power. It can always be used first.]

"Boom!"

A bolt from the blue struck Xiao Mao.

"Fairy...Fairy-type move!"

Xiao Mao took a half step back, his face filled with disbelief.

If the friendship level is high enough, Eevee will evolve into Umbreon at night and Espeon during the day.

However, if Eevee learns a Fairy-type move, it will always evolve into a Fairy-type Sylveon, no matter when it evolves.

"Why...why is it Sylveon?"

Shigeru's mind went blank; the countless fantasies he had of Eevee evolving shattered at that moment.

"Um, is there still a chance?" Before Xiao Shi could finish speaking, white light began to flash on Eevee's body in Natsume's hand.

“Beautiful teeth!!!”

Xiao Mao roared.

However, perhaps because he saw Sylveon's appearance in Gary's Pokédex, Natsume discovered that Gary's attempts to stop Eevee from evolving did not halt its evolution; on the contrary, it evolved even faster!
"Ibuy!"

A white light flashed, and a Sylveon appeared.

Its entire body is covered in fluffy fur that transitions from pink to white, like the softest cotton candy.

His signature large, round, clear blue eyes are full of spirit.

Long, light blue ribbon-like tentacles extend from its head, neck, and back, moving nimbly and gracefully even without wind.

Sylveon, the Link Pokémon, is one of Eevee's evolutions and is considered the most beautiful Eevee.

Natsume opened the encyclopedia and kept replaying it in Shigeru's ears, trying to destroy his spirit.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"So much training, so many tactical arrangements, so many fantasies."

Xiao Mao braced himself on the ground with both hands, and large tears fell from his eyes.

"I even adjusted my time difference for this, and I've been taking Eevee out for a walk every night for the past few days, just so I wouldn't miss it!"

Xiao Mao's voice trembled violently; he would sob heavily after every few words, and his shoulders would shrug uncontrollably.

"Alright, you can get up now."

Natsume helped Shigeru up.

It's clear that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

For a ten-year-old who has fantasized countless times, the current blow is no less than when he traded the game console that Professor Oak bought for him for a workbook.

"My preparations, my plans."

His eyes were red, and tears kept rolling down his face, mixed with his broken words.

"Ibuy!"

Sylveon, bathed in moonlight, seemed quite pleased with its appearance. It looked left and right, and finally, with its silk ribbons, it jumped into Gary's arms.

"Ibuy!"

Sylveon licked the tears that had slipped down Gary's cheek.

"At least in the Pokémon beauty pageant the day after tomorrow, you'll definitely outshine Ash, won't you?"

Natsume comforted her.

"Will Ash be participating too?"

Xiao Mao suddenly looked up.

"Of course, not only will Xiaozhi participate, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia will also participate."

Natsume looked at Shigeru encouragingly.

"This is your first step toward victory, don't give up, Xiao Mao!"

A holy light appeared on Natsume's face, and the surroundings seemed as bright as day.

"Ah good!"

Xiao Mao nodded blankly.

"So, in order to better defeat Ash, you'll train with me for two days. Anyway, you've already adjusted to the time difference."

As Natsume spoke, he handed the high-powered flashlight in his hand to Shigeru.

"Special training? Is it going to a clothing store? Hmm, it's not open yet. Are you going to give me a custom-made performance plan, Natsume-nii?"

Shigeru looked at Natsume suspiciously until the latter took out the judge's badge.

"Natsume-kun, quick, what style do you think suits me and Eevee?"

Xiao Mao's eyes lit up.

Although Natsume's aesthetic sense is obvious to all.

But when a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes.

Since Natsume was able to obtain the qualification of a judge, his aesthetic ability may have greatly improved.

"Take these things."

Natsume handed a shovel to Shigeru.

Next came a pair of work pants, tall boots, and a construction hat that could be fitted with a flashlight.

"what?"

Xiao Mao, holding the things in his arms, seemed somewhat at a loss.

What style is this?
