Chapter 44: Eevee
(Third update, new book seeking collection, seeking flowers!)
“Are you okay, Satoshi?” Kasumi came to Satoshi's side and asked with concern.
“I'm fine. Look, the caterpillar will eventually turn into a butterfly.” Satoshi looked up slightly, as if sensing something. The Butterfree above his head chirped softly, swaying its wings slightly.
“Yes, yes, yes~~” Kasumi felt relieved seeing that Satoshi was okay. She had already started to accept the change, and seeing that the Metapod had transformed into a Butterfree made her even more at ease.
“Can you touch it now?” Seeing this, Satoshi stretched out his hand. The Butterfree flew down from Satoshi's head, landing on his arm.
“Ah!!”
Kasumi was surprised, looking at the Butterfree. She stretched out her hand hesitantly. She knew that she wasn't afraid to touch it, but she felt a bit guilty because of the harsh things she had said when it was still a Caterpie.
Mee~~~~
As Kasumi hesitated, the Butterfree approached her, its head gently rubbing against the palm of her hand. Kasumi trembled slightly, then began to gently stroke the Butterfree's head, a smile appearing on her face.
She knew that the Butterfree didn't blame her!
“Thank you, Butterfree!”
Mee~~~~~
“But what happened just now?” As she stroked the Butterfree's head, she suddenly seemed to think of something and turned towards the other side.
“Hmm! I didn't forget. If I'm not mistaken, it's been following us for a while.” Satoshi also reacted after hearing this and looked towards the bushes on the other side.
Shua shua shua!!!
The bushes suddenly moved, and a figure emerged from the bushes.
It was a Pokémon with brown fur all over its body. Its appearance resembled a fox, with long ears on its head, brown fur all over its body, a wide tail, and a thick mane around its neck. The mane and the tip of its tail were cream-colored.
“Isn't that… an Eevee?” Kasumi was a bit surprised. So it was this Eevee that used the Swift attack just now.
“So I felt like something was following us in the Celadon City. It was you, right?” Satoshi looked at the Eevee in front of him with a bit of surprise. To be honest, if it hadn't attacked just now, he would have really thought that the Team Rocket was following them after seeing them appear.
Buyi!!!
The Eevee in front of him suddenly glared, then opened its mouth, and gold-colored glowing stars flew out like darts.
“Pika~~Chuu!!!”
Pikachu reacted first, electricity instantly sparking from its body, releasing towards the front.
Bang bang bang!!!
“Ugh!!!” The two attacks collided, instantly creating an explosion. The airflow scattered, and Kasumi subconsciously blocked it with her hand, while Satoshi stared intently at the front.
The smoke gradually dissipated, the Eevee stood in place, while Pikachu assumed a fighting stance, its cheeks constantly sparking, making a sound as if questioning the Eevee. “Pika pika!!!”
The Eevee didn't respond, but lowered its body, also assuming a fighting posture.
“Want to fight? Interesting, bring it on!” Looking at the Eevee's expression, it was clear that it wanted to fight. Since it wanted to fight, Satoshi wouldn't refuse.
Pidgeotto and Butterfree flew into the air wisely. Seeing this, Satoshi also smiled, reaching out to pinch the brim of his hat and moving it slightly.
“No! This is too weird, right? Didn't it just help us? Why does it suddenly want to fight?” Kasumi was still a bit confused. Why did it want to fight right away?
But then again, although she had only known Satoshi for less than three days, she already knew his personality quite well. He was a battle maniac, after all.
“Buyi!!”
The Eevee launched its attack again, silver light emerging from its body, its speed increasing, and it charged towards Pikachu.
“Quick Attack? Pikachu, let's use Quick Attack too!”
“Pika!!”
Shuu!!!!
Silver light also emerged from Pikachu's body, and the two figures charged towards each other, Pikachu's speed was obviously faster.
Bang!!!
The two collided, the silver light disappeared simultaneously, and a burst of airflow spread.
Yi!!!
Pi!!!
Pikachu and Eevee were simultaneously bounced back by each other's force, flying backwards. In terms of power, it seemed that the two were evenly matched, they landed on the ground and slid backwards.
However, as soon as the two figures stopped, the Eevee's eyes instantly became sharp, then it jumped directly from the ground, then did a backflip in mid-air. The fluffy tail suddenly flickered with a metallic sheen.
“That is!!”
“Pika!!!” Satoshi and Pikachu both showed expressions of surprise.
Eebueyi!!!!
It was Iron Tail, but it wasn't strange that Eevee used Iron Tail. The main thing was that its movement when using Iron Tail was exactly the same as when Satoshi first taught Pikachu how to use it. Using a backflip from a high position to attack, was the posture that could bring out the strongest power of Iron Tail.
“Dodge it!” After the surprise, Satoshi immediately shouted to Pikachu.
Pikachu reacted quickly after hearing this, quickly jumping away from the spot. The Eevee landed, its tail as if covered in metal, emitting white light, directly smashing down from mid-air.
Bang boom boom!!!
The astonishing power impacted the ground, the ground instantly shattered into pieces, and countless rocks flew into the air.
Then Eevee landed, showing a human-like smug expression on its face, as if showing off to Satoshi and Pikachu.
“Pika!!!” Pikachu felt provoked, and also showed an annoyed expression.
“From Celadon City, it wouldn't be surprising if it learned from watching me train Pikachu, right? This guy is really talented!” Satoshi looked at this scene with an excited expression.
“Since that's the case, there's no reason to give up. Iron Tail is to be countered with Iron Tail. Pikachu, we can't lose to it, use Iron Tail!” Looking at the smug look on Eevee's face, Satoshi looked at Pikachu.
He knew that Pikachu's Iron Tail wasn't perfect yet, but he still chose to let Pikachu use it. Eevee had learned it, there was no reason why his Pikachu couldn't do it.
Desperation could often stimulate potential. He believed in his Pikachu.
“Pika!!!” Pikachu was already unhappy, and after hearing Satoshi's words, he didn't hesitate at all, and charged directly at Eevee.
