Chapter Sixteen

March 5, 2018

"Hi guys! I'm here!" I exclaimed, running up. "Where are my pokemon?" I panted, bending over.

Joce handed me my satchel, smiling. "Here."

I straightened up, and released my pokemon. "Come on out!"

"Fennakin!"

"Pikachu!"

"Vulpix!"

"Where is the egg?" I asked, dumping all the empty pokeballs out of the bag in a panic. "Oh no no no!"

Sylvie whimpered, and nuzzled me.

Gem rolled her eyes.

Evey blushed red. "Oh no, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot!" She opened her large messenger bag, which held Buneary, Jigglypuff, Muddy(her mudkip) and a small, fluffy eevee. "It hatched at midnight. We didn't want to wake you up, and we forgot to call you." She said.

"Eevee!" The eevee hopped out of the bag and ran up to me.

I bent down. "Hey cutie. What gender is it?" I asked, looking up.

"A girl." Joce replied.

"Eevee, you're so cute!" I cooed, rubbing her head, then quickly tapped her with a pokeball.

It rolled around three times. One. Two. Three. Click.

"I caught eevee!" I shouted, jumping up.

Eevee

The evolution pokemon.

Eevee has a unstable genetic make-up, so it has eight different evolution options. It reacts to fire stones, water stones, thunder stones, ice rock, moss rock, strong friendship bond at night, strong friendship bond during the day, and pure love.

"Isn't that awesome?" I asked, turning off my pokedex. "Where to now?"

Joce was one step ahead, as she already had her phone out. "Training center. If you want to evolve Fennakin or any other pokemon, Izzy. Evey, if you want to evolve Chespin, Buneary, or Jigglypuff." She said.

I winced. "I let my pokemon choose..."

Evey nodded. "Same."

Fennakin and Chespin, however, nodded eagerly.

"Or practice routines and help your pokemon level up, raise trust and friendship-" Joce began.

"Showcase practice? I'm in!" Evey and I said at the same time before bursting into giggles.

Joce smiled. "It's in Meadow City."

I gulped. "We can't ride Charizard. Our pokemon can't all fit."

"And they hate going in the pokeballs." Evey added.

Joce considered it. "Take the bus?"
