  Eevee had just fis bath.

  Its once messy fur was now smooth, revealing a light yellow coat with a soft white undercoat around its neck.

  Dewdrops g to the fur on its forehead. Eevee shook its head, gng at the mirror, only to jump ba surprise.

  "Dork," Natsume ughed.

  "Eevee!"

  Eevee shot Natsume a fierce gre, but its adorable appearance made it anything but intimidating—if anything, it only made it more endearing.

  Natsume tried to hold onto its soft paw pads to trim its nails, but Eevee resisted so fiercely that he had to give up.

  "I’m just worried they’ll grow into your skin," Natsume muttered, clig his tongue.

  By now, Eevee had returo the cute image Natsume remembered, though its eyes were sharper than ever.

  To avoid any mishaps during the raising process, Natsume stroked his and opehe Chat Group.

  "How do you breed Eevee?"

  The first to reply was Brock: "Mr. Natsume, did you cat Eevee?"

  "Yeah, I’m not sure how to breed it, so it’s giving me a headache."

  Broodded sympathetically.

  "Eevee currently has eight evolution forms, and eae requires a different breedihod. It’s definitely a headache!"

  "Little Eevee! (Eevee rolling around cutely.jpg)" Yellow chimed in, being adorable as usual.

  "Oh, Natsume-sensei, what form are you pnning to evolve Eevee into?" Green asked with a smile.

  "If you need an Evolutionary Stone, I sell you o a dist."

  Natsume looked up at the sky, thinking about his feisty little Eevee.

  Evolving it into Freon, the Fme Pokémon, seemed like a good choice.

  In winter, he could snuggle up to its fiery red fur for warmth, it around his neck, or eve as a foot warmer…

  Just the thought was enough to make his heart race!

  "How much does an Evolutionary Stone cost?"

  "Hmm… for a standard quality one, around 600,000. The higher-end ones go for over a million. Whie are you looking for, Natsume-sensei?"

  Natsume’s jaw dropped.

  I ’t afford any of them!

  Lorelei interjected, "You could always go for Friendship Evolution. Red’s Vee is pretty cute, after all."

  Blue Oak’s eye twitched.

  You call a Vee that bst a small hill with a Shadow Ball cute?!

  As the versation started to derail, Natsume cleared his throat. "I think we should respect Eevee’s own wishes."

  Broodded solemnly, his face serious.

  Respeg a Pokémon’s own wishes…

  Is this Natsume-sensei’s breeding philosophy?

  Indeed, pared to breedihods that focus solely on battle strength, this is quite an advanced and profound perspective.

  "Though it’s not much, I share some Eevee breeding case studies," Brock offered.

  Brock was the type to give without expeg anything iurn, and now that Natsume had earned his respect, he didn’t ask for anything in exge.

  Natsume’s eyes lit up. "Thank you!"

  [File ‘Eevee Breeding Case Studies’ received!]

  The case studies Brock provided ceneral Eevee breedihods, including diet and daily habits.

  Training wasn’t mentioned, as each Eevee’s evolution path was different, requiring different focuses.

  Natsume flipped through the file with a serious expression, nodding occasionally.

  "Hmm, I don’t uand any of this…"

  The tent was quite advanced, and Natsume’s reading prehension wasn’t quite up to the task.

  However, he did mao glean a few key points—

  Eevee was an omnivore, with a diet that included berries, raw meat, and grains.

  Breeders usually carefully banced Eevee’s diet, and the more extravagant ones even used Pokéblocks for feeding.

  "Oh? So Pokéblocks will do?"

  Natsume raised an eyebrow.

  "Then I’m all set!"

  In other areas, Natsume might be pletely out of his depth.

  But when it came to Pokéblocks, even Brock might not be as skilled as Natsume!

  With the breedihods sorted, the trainihods were still up in the air.

  But Natsume never po be a Trainer in the first pce.

  Eevee couldn’t possibly train itself like Haunter, could it?

  No way!

  Having one Pokémon was already a stretch, but a sed one?

  fidently stepping out of the room, Natsume froze in his tracks.

  …

  Haunter was giving Eevee a lecture.

  "Haunter!"

  Haunter had somehow produced a bckboard with messy doodles that were impossible to decipher.

  "Eevee?"

  Eevee, however, was nodding seriously, occasionally asking questions iurn.

  "Haunter!"

  Haunter nodded, looking pleased, as if Eevee romising student.

  Natsume sat nearby with a cup of tea, his expression plicated.

  Was something wrong here?

  Eevee wasn’t training itself…

  But why was Hauraining Eevee?

  You training yourself is ohing, but now you’re dragging Eevee into it too?!

  A dull ache began to form in Natsume’s chest.

  He rubbed his forehead a out a deep sigh.

  "It’s fihese are just small things…"

  "What’s the point of Haunter’s lecture? It’s not like Eevee learn a new move, right?"

  "Eevee!"

  Just then, Eevee lifted its head.

  A faint glow emerged from its body, gradually f another Eevee that looked exactly like it.

  Natsume’s eyes widened.

  No way…

  Is that really the Substitute move?!

  "Eevee…"

  Though it only sted for less than two seds, it was ihe Substitute move.

  Eevee was drenched i, panting heavily, but its eyes were filled with excitement.

  "Haunter…"

  Haunter nodded with satisfa, a wistful expression on its face, even wiping away a tear of emotion.

  This is the most skilled Substitute teique I’ve mastered.

  Now I’ve passed it on to you, little Eevee!

  There were too many things to Make pints, and Natsume didn’t even know where to start.

  "This is too hard…"

  While it’s true that Pokémon teach each other moves…

  Who masters Substitute in just oernoon?

  And now there’s a sed one?!

  "Eevee!"

  Seeing Natsume, Eevee ran over excitedly, eager to show off its newly learned move.

  Natsume forced a smile and patted Eevee’s head. "You did great!"

  "Eevee(′▽`〃)"

  Suddenly, as if realizing something, Eevee stiffened and turs head away, though its wagging tail betrayed its true feelings.

  Natsume let out a long sigh.

  So why are my Pokémon more motivated than I am?

  As Natsume zoned out, Eevee stole a g him.

  For different Pokémon, the meaning of battle varies.

  In the back mountains, Eevee had to battle stantly just to survive.

  But now, Natsume had given Eevee a new life and a sense of purpose.

  To keep battling—

  To grow stronger and bee the sharpest bde in his hand.

  Not just strohan Haunter, but strohan all other Pokémon.

  Eevee silently watched Natsume, its gaze growing more determined.

  I’ll make sure my Trainer bees the stroraihere is!
