Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 697 - 367: Eevee’s Evolution Goal! Snorlax Exclusive Pokeblock, Created!

"Alright, let me tell you a story," Naoki cleared his throat, leaned back on the sofa, and began narrating a fairy tale he had heard from the Galar Region to the two Eevees.

"Once upon a time, there was a small town named Apple Town where people lived peacefully and happily."

"Until one day, a scary Dragon-type Pokemon came to the town. It kidnapped the mayor’s daughter and destroyed the apple trees, terrifying the townsfolk."

"In the midst of all this, a beautiful and kind Sylveon came to the town and, after hearing about the people’s troubles, bravely set out on a journey to defeat the evil dragon."

"After some effort, the beautiful Sylveon successfully rescued the mayor’s daughter and helped the people drive away the scary Dragon Type Pokemon."

"Afterward, Sylveon and the people lived happily ever after together."

Having heard this fairy tale, Eevee and Glaceon couldn’t help but look on with a longing expression.

"Eevee!"

However, the tale was overheard by several nearby Dragon Type Pokemon.

Dragonite loudly retorted, "Roar!" Dragon Type Pokemon are not villains!

It is also a Dragon Type Pokemon and has never done such things!

"Roar..." Cyclizar hesitated a bit but agreed that Dragonite wasn’t wrong.

Koraidon joined in the fun, "Aaarrgh!"

The three Dragon Type Pokemon stood united, demanding an explanation from Naoki.

Naoki: "..."

"It’s just a fairy tale. If you’d like, I can tell a story tonight about brave Dragon Type Pokemon defeating villains and saving the world," he said.

"Aaarrgh!" Koraidon immediately expressed its interest; they wanted to hear the story that night!

Naoki resigned himself and agreed, "Alright, alright, I’ll tell you tonight."

Only then were the wronged Dragon Type Pokemon satisfied.

Naoki looked at the eagerly-eyed Eevee and asked, "Have you decided? What kind of Eevee do you want to become in the future?"

Eevee resolutely extended its paw and patted the picture of Sylveon: "Eevee Eevee!"

Naoki: "..." Looks like little Eevee has a heart for dragon-slaying!

"Have you decided?" Naoki asked.

Eevee nodded repeatedly, "Eevee!"

"Alright, then I’ll help you evolve in the direction of becoming a Sylveon,"

Naoki said while recalling the evolution method for Sylveon in games.

It seems like it involves reaching a certain level of friendship with the trainer and learning a Fairy-type move to evolve?

In that case, it’ll take some effort.

But for Naoki, that didn’t matter.

Time, after all, is something they have plenty of.

After enough rest, Naoki let the two Eevees go off to play on their own while he took Koraidon and Cyclizar to the Berry Garden.

In about a dozen days, a new batch of berries had grown fully.

Looking at the plump, round berries on the trees, Naoki planned to use them all to make Pokeblocks.

The amount of berries was quite large, but thanks to the help from the Pokemon, the harvesting went smoothly.

The berries that were picked were placed into baskets, and the whole garden’s harvest filled up six large baskets.

Naoki was delighted to find two Dye Berries among the batch!

[Dye Berry: A special ingredient that, when consumed, changes the Pokemon’s color. It can be eaten directly or cooked.]

Last time, Pawmot turned shiny after eating one of these berries.

And now it meant that besides Pawmot, two more shiny Pokemon could appear in the ranch!

Who should it be given to?

Koraidon?

He remembers that a shiny Koraidon is black, giving a very cool and handsome vibe.

Or Eevee?

If given to Eevee, it would evolve into a shiny Sylveon, with its color changing from pink to blue, making it look even more adorable.

Decided! One of them would be given to Eevee then!

Then the remaining one...

As Naoki was thinking about whom to give it to, he suddenly saw the Dragonairs playing and frolicking in the Berry Garden.

Naoki’s gaze fell on one peculiar pink Dragonair among them.

Everyone knows that shiny Dragonair will transform into a somewhat frightening green when it evolves into Dragonite.

Those Dragonairs are undoubtedly going to evolve.

A green Dragonite would be terrifying.

Thinking for a bit, Naoki beckoned to those Dragonairs.

"Hmm?"

The Dragonairs curiously flew over.

Naoki handed the remaining Dye Berry to the pink Dragonair:

"This berry can help you become like everyone else. Do you want to eat it?"

The shiny Dragonair blinked, then opened its mouth and ate the Dye Berry in one bite.

In the next moment, a radiant light burst forth from its body.

Amidst the light, Dragonair’s color swiftly changed from its original pink to match the others.

The surrounding Dragonairs watched this scene in amazement, chirping excitedly, circling around their now similar-looking companion.

The Dragonair that had transformed like everyone else wore a look of disbelief.

But the expression on its face conveyed immense happiness and excitement; it showed no signs of sadness for becoming like an ordinary Dragonair.
