I caught a Pokémon

The main issue is that everyone hasn't yet reached a consensus on Eevee's evolution path.

It seems that in the end, I'll have to make the decision myself...

After the meal, everyone returned to the Pokémon Center, and it was in the dormitory that Xia You released Eevee.

Xiao Zhi and the others were still chatting on the side, and since they knew Xia You had important things to do, they didn't bother him.

At that very moment, Xia You reviewed all the possible evolution paths of Eevee.

Firstly, since Eevee already has Jolteon, it naturally ruled out this option first.

Secondly, Vaporeon and Flareon are too common, and Xia You has no shortage of Water and Fire-type Pokémon, so they are naturally excluded.

This leaves five directions to choose from: the sun, the moon, the leaf, the ice, and the fairy.

Let's take another look at the attributes.

Having just acquired Snorlax, an Ice-type Pokémon, and considering the inherent disadvantages of Ice-type Pokémon, Xia You first ruled out Glaceon. Secondly, with Gardevoir, Metagross, and Deoxys in his team, Espeon, a Psychic-type Pokémon, was also ruled out.

Looking at it this way, only three forms remain: Sylveon, Umbreon, and Leafeon.

These three Eevee types correspond to the Fairy, Dark, and Grass abilities, respectively.

Regardless of which one, it would be a great addition to Xia You's current lineup.

In terms of popularity, Xia You should choose Sylveon, since its ethereal appearance would make it look very cute and popular with girls.

But the problem is that his Eevee is male, and he simply can't accept a male fighting with that kind of appearance.

And the most important reason is that Sylveon is too pink and cute. He simply cannot imagine himself commanding Sylveon in battle on the field.

I always felt that this didn't quite match my calm and meticulous fighting style...

That leaves only Umbreon and Leafeon...

From the perspective of their respective women, Rika has a Leafeon that evolved after being gifted an evolution stone, while Tama also has an Umbreon. It seems their roles are somewhat overlapping...

Sigh, it's really a tough choice...

No wonder everyone has been discussing it back and forth, but still hasn't come to any conclusion!

After pondering for a long time, Xia You still had no clue, so she simply took Eevee out of the dormitory, out of the Pokémon Center, and outside.

Perhaps getting some fresh air will help him clear his mind.

Night had fallen, and the moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the small town.

A cool night breeze blew against her skin. Xia You looked around. Although it was already 8 or 9 p.m., the pedestrian street not far away was still very lively. Not only were tourists strolling around, but even some contestants who came to participate in the competition chose to come out and relax at this time.

With Eevee by her side, Xia You first went to the street and bought a snack for both of them. Then she left the crowd and strolled slowly by the lake in the athletes' village.

The moon's shadow was cast down, reflecting another moon onto the lake's surface.

The two walked side by side, enjoying the moonlit scenery while taking turns eating.

Besides them, there are many other people like them, strolling around the lake, and just like the ordinary trainers, the scene looks very warm and harmonious.

It was here that Xia You presented Eevee with the final choice.

"So, do you want to evolve into Leafeon or Umbreon?"

Compared to having so many choices before, the current choice between two options seems simpler.

Upon hearing his trainer's words, Eevee looked up at the moon in the sky and whispered something.

Xia You naturally couldn't understand Pokémon language, so at this time, a professional translator was needed!

"Gengar..."

He gave a soft call, and the next second, Gengar rose from his shadow. When it floated to Xia You's shoulder height, it naturally took the snack from his hand.

Xia You glanced at her empty hands, then at Gengar, who was stuffing snacks into its mouth, and said with amusement, "Stop eating and translate what it just said."

Without turning its head, Gengar said, "It said that since it was a baby, its favorite thing has been to look at the moon from the rooftop, and it thinks the moon is the most beautiful thing in the world."

moon?

Xia You looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

After hearing what Ibrahimovic said, how could he not understand its choice?

If it likes the moon, doesn't that mean it likes Luna Eevee even more?

From this perspective, it has clearly already made its choice...

Turning to look at Eevee, Xia You asked, "Are you sure?"

Ibrahimovic looked up at him and nodded seriously.

"Then it's settled."

Xia You naturally respected Eevee's choice, or rather, he wouldn't say anything no matter which form Eevee chose.

Furthermore, Umbreon is also a good choice. Currently, I only have Tyranitar, a Pokémon with the Rock and Dark types, and I don't have any pure Dark-type Pokémon. If Eevee really evolves into Umbreon, it can make up for this deficiency.

Now that we've agreed on the direction of evolution, it's time to make some preparations.

“I remember…” Xia You stroked her chin, “The conditions for evolving into Umbreon aren’t as complicated as the other forms, requiring any type evolution stones. It just requires being at night and reaching a certain level of friendship with the trainer, I think…”

Before he could finish speaking, a white light suddenly shone from Eevee's body and enveloped it.

Xia You naturally couldn't continue speaking, and at the same time, he realized that Eevee could always evolve, but it had been holding back because it hadn't made up its mind.

"You're not very decisive..." Xia You shook her head and chuckled. "If I had known you liked Umbreon's form, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble."

However, even so, without Eevee's patience, how could he have brought it back to Eden City and caused the series of events that followed?

In this respect, I should also thank Ibrahimovic.

Eevee's sudden evolution surprised not only Xia You, but also the trainers strolling around nearby.

Although none of them recognized Xia You, and they couldn't see his face clearly because it was dark, everyone knew that when a trainer's Pokémon evolves, it also means that the trainer's strength will increase. This is something that makes trainers happy and outsiders envious.

However, when the light disappeared and people saw that what had evolved was just an Umbreon, they were not too surprised and calmly looked away.

Unfortunately, although Umbreon isn't as common as Flareon, Water Eevee, Thunder Eevee, or Espeon, it's still quite numerous among Pokémon Trainers because its evolution is relatively simple and doesn't require evolution stones.

Because they only see them occasionally, they're already used to seeing Eevee in this form.

Regardless of what others think or how they see it, the appearance of Umbreon still made Xia You smile happily.

For him, this is the form that Pokémon likes and the form that he needs, and that's enough!

Therefore, after the light of evolution on Umbreon disappeared, while it curiously looked at itself, Xia You picked it up and lifted it high in the air!

"I have to say, this new form suits you very well, and you've evolved into Umbreon. I think Tama will be very happy when she hears this news!"

When Xia You returned to the dormitory with her Umbreon, Ash and the others immediately noticed Umbreon's new form!

"Umbreon!?"

"Huh? Why is it Umbreon?"

"It's evolved so quickly!?"

The group immediately surrounded Umbreon, scrutinizing it closely.

Regardless of who they were, it was not the first time they had seen Umbreon. They just did not expect that Xia You and Eevee had gone out for a walk to relax, but when they came back, Eevee had already evolved!

That's incredibly fast!

It's truly astonishing!

Ash, in particular, was momentarily stunned upon seeing the Umbreon, and couldn't help but think of his first rival in Pallet Town—Gary.

After all, just like Shigeru's Blastoise, Umbreon is also his signature Pokémon, and seeing Xia You's Umbreon now makes it hard for Ash not to think of his favorite Pokémon.

Unlike Xiaozhi and the others who were just watching the excitement, Xiaoyao was genuinely happy for Xia You.

After all, she knew how much trouble Eevee's evolution had caused, and now that it had evolved into Umbreon, Miss Tama would surely be very happy...

It has to be said that, as travel companions, she and Xia You actually thought of the same thing!

After exchanging a few casual words with them, Xia You, along with Umbreon, went to a corner of the dormitory and sent a video call to Xiao Yu.

The video call was connected quickly.

When the scene appeared before her, Xia You was surprised to find that Xiao Yu was dressed up in a fine dress and sitting inside a luxury car. She had obviously just finished a performance and was on her way home!

Beside her, Xia You could also hear the voices of her other sisters, and when Xia You initiated the video call, half of Xiao Juan and Xiao Tao's faces appeared on the screen.

"I thought you would contact us in a few days, but I didn't expect you to be unable to resist on the first night?" Xiaoyu's words were as bold and ruthless as ever.

Xia You remained unmoved, and simply smiled and asked, "Did you just get back from a performance?"

“That’s right, there was a performance, and it was a huge hit.” Xiao Juan chimed in, chuckling. “I must say, your video came at just the right time. Just a few minutes ago, we were discussing whether you and Xiao Yao had made it to the venue!”

Xiaoyao also peeked out at this moment and greeted Xiaojuan and the others.

Inside the room, listening to the voices of a group of beautiful women on the other end of the video, Xiao Gang instinctively felt that they were all stunning beauties, which made his ears suddenly widen. He only glanced at them once, and when he saw several beautiful, radiant, and elegantly dressed women on the screen, he immediately froze on the spot!

With so many people around, it was inconvenient to talk, so Xia You just chatted casually with Xiao Juan and the others for a few minutes before putting Umbreon in front of the camera.

"Look, who is this?"

The words had barely left his mouth when several women's surprised voices came from the other end of the video!

"Eevee!!!"

"It actually chose to evolve into Umbreon!?"

The girls' eyes gleamed with even more joy, clearly both pleased that Eevee had made up its mind and surprised that it had evolved into Umbreon.

Almost simultaneously, the other four sisters all looked at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

As a fellow Umbreon trainer, seeing Xia You's Eevee evolve into Umbreon, she suddenly felt a sense of 'following her husband's lead'!

Chapter 893 The Ungrateful Monkey

Perhaps it was Phoenix King that changed Xia You's constitution, which is why, although he went to bed late, he still opened his eyes early the next day.

Despite having only slept for a few hours, he felt full of energy and did not feel tired at all from riding the fire-breathing dragon and traveling all day yesterday.

Although she had already expressed her feelings many times, Xia You still couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the Phoenix King's blessing was!

Having resolved a worry and successfully evolved Eevee, Xia You was finally able to relax and stroll around the area on the last day before the Grand Festival, reminiscing about the atmosphere of the Indigo League she had participated in.

It was only a little past six in the morning. Xia You glanced at the few people who were still fast asleep and didn't disturb them. Instead, she went to the restaurant first, ate breakfast, and waited until it gradually became lively outside before taking her newly evolved Umbreon out of the Pokémon Center and wandering around at her leisure.

However, he had only just stepped outside when he saw a news interview with Musashi playing on a large screen in the distance.

Although Musashi had disguised herself and was wearing glasses, Xia You recognized her at a glance.

There's no way around it, it's just too familiar!

Although the Rocket Team trio's disguises were indeed very skillful, with Kojiro even able to transform into a busty beauty, Xia You, who was extremely familiar with them, could still distinguish them from their obvious features.

It's likely that only Ash and those who don't know much about Team Rocket would have been kept in the dark.

only……

Seeing this face first thing in the morning surprised Xia You, and also made her feel a little disheartened.

It was a rare day of fine weather, and he thought something good was about to happen.

As a result, they were struck by lightning as soon as they stepped outside.

That's it?

After passing the large screen in front of her, Xia You could see the Team Rocket trio with her naked eye in an open space not far away.

At this moment, we can see Musashi, with two long ponytails, wearing big glasses, a gorgeous short skirt with a big red bow, high white stockings, and orange leather shoes, dressed in an adorable manner. Under the filming of Kojiro, Meowth, and Wobbuffet, who are also disguised as photographers and staff, she is wearing a professional smile and broadcasting something to the camera.

Once he entered the crowd and approached the trio, he could hear clearly what Musashi was saying.

"Hello everyone!" Jessie, holding a microphone, spoke to the camera in a cute voice, "Starting tomorrow, the long-awaited Pokémon Grand Festival will begin! I'm your adorable Mulin, bringing you this beautiful live broadcast!"

Musashi's tone was always tinged with that affected cuteness, and it was clear that she was trying to make herself more popular. But with her appearance and age, she didn't come across as cute at all; instead, she gave off a strange and incongruous feeling.

In short, she's past the age of pretending to be young!

Musashi continued, "The Coordinators who have obtained five Ribbon Medals in various parts of Kanto have all arrived at Indigo Plateau. The atmosphere outside the arena is now at its peak. All the contestants are focused on checking the health of their Pokémon in preparation for tomorrow's preliminary rounds!"

As Kojiro rotated the camera, the situation in the vicinity was also displayed on the big screen.
