It also explains the reason why Eevee was tied up in that place alone.
He placed it there on purpose in order to prevent Eevee from getting involved in today's garden party.
It turns out that these three brothers evolved their Eevee during the first battle.
The eldest brother, Rei's Eevee, evolved into the Thunder Pokémon.
The second oldest, the fiery red brother's Eevee, evolved into a fire Pokémon.
The third brother, the blue-water brother, has Eevee, which evolved into a water Pokémon.
They all take their first battle very seriously, and are also concerned about their younger brother Mikey's first battle.
Of course, to be precise, it's about what type Mikey's Eevee should evolve into.
They were all waiting for Mikey to let Eevee choose which Pokémon to evolve into.
The evolution path chosen by Mikey, in the eyes of the three brothers, is tantamount to acknowledging which of the three Pokémon is the strongest.
This means that they can learn from this incident.
In Mikey's eyes, which of the three brothers has the highest training rating?
The three brothers are also strong rivals of each other, so the choice of Mikey, the youngest, is very important.
But now~~~
"You want me to judge which Eevee evolution is better?"
Ash asked, understanding the three brothers' purpose.
"Uh-huh!!"
The three brothers nodded continuously, hoping desperately that Ash could give them an answer.
In their opinion, an expert like Ash in the field of Eevee evolution is an authority in this area!!
If he were to make the final conclusion, then it would be more important than his brother's choice!!
"Then I can only say that each evolution of Eevee has its own characteristics."
Ash could only give a fair answer, "They are all very magical and excellent Pokémon.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be a ranking."
"..."
Amid the disappointed looks of the three brothers, "Three Four Seven" Ash smiled and said, "I just like to study the evolution of Pokémon. The strength of their evolved categories is not within my professional scope."
"Besides, my main job is just a Pokémon Trainer.
Well, a [scientific research expert] Trainer who likes research~
"X4..."
Seeing that Ash did not give a positive response, the three disappointed brothers could only look at each other.
Then he set his sights on his younger brother:
"So, Mikey, what type do you want Eevee to evolve into?!"
Today's garden party was specially held for Mikey.
Whether it is Pokémon or exams, in their opinion, the one who educates first will win first.
They will not give up their demands on Mikey, and he must make a decision today.
-:"..."
*
At such a young age, he has to bear such great pressure.
Looking at the eager eyes and expectations of his three brothers, confused Mikey could only swallow his saliva.
Whether it was Thunder Pokémon, Fire Pokémon or Water Pokémon, Mikey didn't want to force Eevee to evolve.
Then, the only help he was looking for was...
"Mr. Ash!"
Ash, who had a very good understanding of Eevee's evolution, became his life-saving straw.
"Can I not let Eevee use these three evolution stones?"
He mustered up the courage to say this to Ash and his three brothers.
"Not allowing Eevee to use the Evolution Stone?!"
"How can that be possible?"
"Can Eevee evolve without an evolution stone?!"
The three brothers blurted out their refutation of Mikey without even thinking.
In their view, the charm of Pokémon lies in its evolution, especially evolving Pokémon like Eevee.
If I don't use the Evolution Stone, it would be too...
"Of course."
Ash replied casually.
Eevee brothers: "???"
"Really?!"
Even Mikey was stunned; he didn't expect this answer at all.
"Well, according to my latest 'research', Pokémon like Eevee have very unique evolutionary qualifications..."
Under everyone's stunned and curious gazes, Ash smiled and explained:
"It has the same characteristics as other Pokémon that require evolution items or evolution stones, and can be evolved using evolution stones.
"But it also has the possibility of growing and evolving on its own without any external force!"
"RTU..."
Ash paused here.
"Just what?!!"
Even Misty and Xiaogang were fascinated by what they heard, not to mention the three Eevee brothers and Mikey who were craning their necks.
"Ahem."
Ash coughed twice, and then started eating the food in front of him.
"Mr. Ash, please follow me."
Ray, the eldest of the three brothers, understood instantly.
He glanced around at the other guests who were also looking at him with a hint of curiosity.
He immediately made a "please" gesture towards Ash and the others:
"I have some issues with Pokémon Trainers that I would like to discuss with you."
"Okay, okay~"
Ash said with a smile.
The second brother Huohong and the third brother Shuilan also reacted at this time. They tacitly stopped talking about this matter and started to greet other guests.
And eldest brother Ray, with his younger brother Mikey, and Ash and his group, came into the inner room.
"These are just our humble gifts. Please accept them."
Brother Ray called the servants, brought up the boxes and placed them on the table, then stepped back, smiled and raised his hand to Ash:
"Just consider it as your invitation to our garden party and your thanks for finding Eevee...
Well, it really is a family of brothers that was able to make a fortune in this Stone Town. The eldest brother also has a high EQ.
And he found a good excuse.
"So many evolution stones!!"
Misty and Xiaogang were stunned when they saw the dazzling array of evolution stones spread out on the table.
It was the first time they saw so many evolution stones placed in front of them.
ME...
"The quality is very high, and every evolution stone is included!!"
Even the types are quite complete.
Ash also took a quick look. Water Stone, Fire Stone, Thunder Stone, Leaf Stone, Ice Stone, Dusk Stone, Shiny Stone, Sun Stone, Moon Stone…
Even Dawn Stone has it.
There are ten evolution stones in total, just enough for one set!!
He took out so many evolution stones in one go, it was really impressive!
And this is just...
"This is just a thank you gift..."
Big Brother Ray said sincerely, "Please tell us more about Eevee's evolution, Mr. Ash.
"Afterwards, we will have a generous gift for you!"
Listen, there is another great gift!!
What is the attitude of learning? This is the real thirst for learning!!
Ash admitted that he had learned Psychic quite well recently.
But compared to big brother Rei's money ability, he is indeed a little inferior...
"Ahem, it's really polite of you to say that~"
Ash showed a very peaceful smile on his face, "Those who like to study my papers are all my book friends and fans."
"We are a loving family. We are a family, but we should not have different opinions..."
"That's right!!"
Seeing this, the eldest brother Lei also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled knowingly.
Misty and Mikey: "???"
"What do they mean by this?"
Misty was confused and didn't understand anything at all, while Mikey was even more bewildered and had no idea what they were talking about.
Xiaogang, on the other hand, seemed a little thoughtful at his age.
Finally, after a friendly and harmonious conversation.
Brother Rey also got the news he wanted to know.
"In order to adapt to changes in the environment immediately, Eevee evolves by changing its appearance and abilities to cope with harsh environments, which contains many possibilities for evolution.
"So, in some cold and frozen environments, as well as places with lush trees, you can use the corresponding Ice Stone and Leaf Stone to evolve into other types."
"Of course, if we don't use the Evolution Stone, then it depends on the relationship between Eevee and its owner."
"The closer the two are, the more Eevee can evolve without the help of Evolution Stones.
"Moreover, according to the data we have obtained so far, Eevee can obtain different categories by evolving during the day and at night...
Ash explained all the information.
Well, anyway, he will organize the contents of these news into a paper and publish it again soon.
It's just selling it at a good price in advance.
He also doesn't have to worry about the four Eevee brothers going Me First and intercepting his "achievements".
Ash had already revealed to them in advance that the original version of the information had been filed in Professor Oak Laboratory.
If Solaceon leaks out, then Professor Oak and the Pokémon Alliance will come looking for them.
In this regard, Brother Lei patted his chest and guaranteed that he would never spread the news.
In this way, both parties can be said to be happy.
Mikey didn't know what happened though.
But his brother said that he would no longer force him to use the evolution stone to evolve Eevee.
All you need to do is develop a good relationship with Eevee.
He immediately put these doubts and confusion behind him and agreed happily.
On the other side, Ash also collected these evolution stones.
There will be rewards from the four Eevee brothers later on. Well, it's really a great harvest.
Everyone feels that they have made a profit and gained a lot.
J...
"Doesn't this book say that the specialty of Stonetown is that it can produce a lot of Evolution Stones?!"
"Why haven't we dug it out yet?! We have been digging for ten days, ten days!!"
James and Jessie from the Rockets were wailing.
"That's because you dug in the wrong place~ meow!!"
Meowth couldn't help himself any longer as he flipped through the book's introduction.
It pointed at the bumpy holes on the hillside and looked at them as if they were idiots: "If we dig like this, even if Diglett and Dugtrio were here, they might not be able to dig anything out~ Meow!!"
James and Jessie: "..."
Never mind, let's look for it again.
It is said that the largest family in Stonetown behind the hillside is holding a garden party.
"I heard there's food over there, how about we go and grab some?"
"It's good to have stones, but it's even better to have food."
"That's a good idea! Our first goal, of course, is food!"
"I feel so hungry~~~"
The garden party in Stonetown ended successfully with both the guests and hosts having a great time.
Ash and his party were enjoying
After the delicious meal, we took a short rest and then said goodbye to the four Eevee brothers.
Even though the other party repeatedly and enthusiastically invited Ash and his friends to stay for two more days.
But in order to get the Badge in time, Ash and his friends had to decline and move on to the next place.
Traveling with companions and having interesting adventures can make life colorful.
Of course, this does not apply to the Rockets, who are often hungry. These are painful memories.
I just wonder if the old man who suddenly appeared in front of me and was also hungry thinks the same way~~~~
As Ash and his group continued their training journey.
They were not in a hurry to travel, and Pikachu fell asleep leisurely on Ash's shoulder.
As they walked, they met an old man sitting on a stone by the roadside.
"Hey, boys and girls, you came at the right time!"
The old man, with long gray hair covering his eyes and a long white beard covering his mouth, immediately greeted people warmly when he saw them coming.
"What's wrong with you, Grandpa?"
"Hahaha, just listen to it."
After saying that, without explaining the reason, he took out a flute from the back and started playing it.
You know what, this tune is quite nice.
And Pikachu who was sleeping on Ash's backpack also woke up from his sleep by shaking his ears.
"Beep, the Pokémon Flute. It is said that when you blow it, any Pokémon will come to life. It can produce beautiful sounds."
The Rotom Pokédex reports in real time.
"So this is the flute!"
Misty was about to praise the old man for his good flute when she suddenly realized, "No wonder it sounds so good, it's all because of this flute!"
"Ahem, I also have some pretty good skills, okay?"
The old man with white hair and beard coughed lightly and said, "Okay, give me the performance fee and give me a piece of bread!"
Misty: "Ah? And the performance fee?"
Xiao Gang: "Isn't this free?!"
"You are lucky to be able to hear my flute!"
The white-haired old man didn't respond at all, but just stretched out his hand towards the trio.
"I'm not reluctant to give you bread~~~"
Ash glanced at his matter-of-fact look, "But I really hate forced sales."
"Anyone can give me a piece of bread. Even before you play to me, if you ask me for it, I will give you one for free out of kindness and sympathy for the elderly.
"But you're forcing us to listen to your performance without saying anything, and you're asking us to play it openly...
"Sorry, grandpa, we don't need to hurry."
Ash nodded at him, and then called Xiaogang and Misty behind him to leave.
"Let's go, Xiaogang, Misty."
"Okay~!!"
Both of them also felt that the behavior of this white-haired old man made them 0.6 dislike it very much.
However, due to his old age, he didn't say much.
On the contrary, Ash is simply their mouthpiece!
After saying these words for them, I felt particularly relieved.
Just like in the original version, Team Rocket was also called to play and asked for performance fees and food, and they were mercilessly scolding:
"You just stop people and play such a strange flute, hoping to get them to donate food to you..."
Meowth crossed his arms and squinted his eyes and complained: "The flute sound just now is not worth giving food."
Not worth it~Not worth it~
"Wait a minute!!"
When the white-haired old man saw Ash and the others were leaving, he immediately sat up from the Rock:
"If there is no bread, give me a cookie~"
"Biscuits..."
Ash thought about it, then took out a cookie from his backpack.
"Give it to me now!!"
Seeing this, the white-haired old man's face was full of joy and Covet stretched out his hand impatiently.
But before his hand could stretch forward, it froze in mid-air.
"Don't you understand, Grandpa...
Ash broke the cookie in half and put one half into his mouth under the other's dull gaze:
"This isn't a bread and cookies thing."
"It's mainly because of things like you that we don't like, right, Pikachu?"
"Pika Pika~!"
Pikachu happily took the other half of the cookie that Ash handed over, put it into his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
White-haired old man:"#
It makes people drool!!
"What are you doing? You don't know how to respect the elderly at all!!"
Feeling that he was being fooled, the white-haired old man suddenly became angry and embarrassed.
"We only respect the elderly who deserve respect~"
Ash didn't care about his Rage at all.
"OLD..."
He suddenly let out a long note, suggesting something.
