This was Eevee's first bath since arriving at the Breeding Center.
This tsundere Eevee behaved completely differently with Li Wei than with Xiao Meng Jie.
"It'll be fine once she gets used to it."
Xiao Meng Jie was still puzzled, "But I've spent much more time with Eevee."
Li Wei's conversation with Xiao Meng Jie wasn't just casual chat; it was a teaching session.
This way, Xiao Meng Jie could also help bathe Eevee in the future.
A gentle stream of water dampened Eevee's fur. This was a solid Eevee.
Li Wei's movements were quick, lathering Eevee with a wet sponge.
"Eevee's fur is actually quite long, so you can't scrub back and forth. You have to go with the grain of her fur."
"Why are your movements so fast?"
"To prevent her from catching a cold."
The shampoo created a lot of foam, and Li Wei gently stroked her fur with his hand.
Watching from the side, Xiao Meng could feel Eevee's fur gradually becoming smoother.
The water in the basin was no longer clear.
Eevee looked clean, but in reality, she was quite dirty.
"Huh? I comb Eevee's fur every day, why is she still so dirty?"
"It's probably because she was raised free-range."
"So that's how it is."
Li Wei didn't tell the truth; it was most likely because Eevee had never had a bath before.
After her bath, Eevee instinctively shook her body, splashing water everywhere.
Her brown fur deepened when wet, and the creamy fluff around her neck clung tightly to her body.
Eevee looked at her refreshed self in the mirror, feeling a bit bewildered for a moment.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"Bui!" φ(＞ω＜*)
Eevee's soft pink paw pads stepped onto Li Wei's knee, and she unconsciously wagged her tail.
"When blow-drying, use a fine-tooth comb to lift and dry the deeper fur, then put her in the Pokemon automatic dryer."
The dryer wasn't foolproof, especially for Pokemon like Eevee with multiple layers of fur.
When Eevee, her fur blow-dried, was taken out of the dryer, she was completely Refresh.
The bathed Eevee was even cuter, her fur as smooth as silk,
and she emitted a faint, fresh scent that made one want to become Lady Stone Mother and take a big sniff.
Li Wei was extremely familiar with bathing Pokemon.
For an Eevee of this size, it could be done in less than half an hour.
Li Wei took a photo of Eevee after her bath and sent it to the chat group.
Xiao Huang was very excited, a scream echoing in her voice message,
"Ah ah ah! What a cute Eevee!"
Blue, on the other hand, had the face of a shrewd merchant,
"What form are you planning to evolve her into? You'll get a discount if you buy an ite from me!"
Gold still lived for today, "Did you forget what his family does? Why would he need to buy from you?"
Red: "You can also evolve her into Espeon based on friendship, just like my Abu!"
Qinglv also quickly popped up, "Have you bred Eevee?"
Kona pushed up her glasses, "Since it's the Sinnoh region, Leafeon and Glaceon would be better, right? I personally recommend Glaceon."
Seeing the chat getting increasingly off-topic, Li Wei quickly stopped them,
"This is an Eevee from my family's Breeding Center. As for evolution? I haven't considered it. It depends on Eevee's own wishes."
"I'm just simply showing off Eevee. I just bathed her."
Li Wei also took photos of the other seven Eevee waiting for their baths.
Anyway, whether Eevee evolves or not, her egg group is Field, which doesn't affect subsequent breeding.
Respecting the Pokemon's wishes?
This undoubtedly aligned with Red's philosophy.
Red excitedly said, "I feel like she'll evolve into Sylveon, Espeon, or Umbreon!"
The three PokemonRed mentioned are all friendship evolutions, which showed his recognition of the bond between Li Wei and Eevee.
Will she evolve into these?
Li Wei felt they were all pretty good.
Sapphire's tone was very excited, "Eight Eevee, just enough to evolve into all eight known Eevee forms!"
Li Wei took a look, and it was true.
Li Wei hadn't even noticed until Sapphire mentioned it.
Xiao Huang asked curiously, "Do you think there are any new Eevee forms?"
Qinglv answered the question,
"There should be. Eevee's genes are unstable, and no one knows how many evolution forms there are. Professor Oak and I have also been researching it recently."
Qinglv then @-ed Li Wei, "With so many Eevee at your place, if there are any unusual situations, send them to me."
Li Wei quickly replied, "Okay."
Although Li Wei didn't have high hopes for it.
He wasn't a researcher, nor did he plan to specifically study Eevee's evolution.
How could an Eevee evolution form be discovered by him?
The path of a researcher shocking the world seemed not to work out for him.
Steven rarely popped up, "I hope so. That way I can catch a Steel-type Eevee."
Lance chimed in, "+1, I want a Dragon-type Eevee."
Gold once again courted disaster, "Aren't you supposed to want a Flying-type Eevee?"
Lance, in front of his phone screen, almost crushed his phone.
"I'll grab Gold and give him a good beating another day! Hmm... I'll call Silver!"
Qinglv, who hadn't spoken for a while, uploaded a file to the group.
[Eevee Breeding File.pdf]
Qinglv sent a voice message: "This is Professor Oak's method for breeding Eevee in his backyard. All eight evolution forms are currently available."
There were some other noises in the background, seemingly Professor Oak speaking.
Because Professor Oak and Qinglv had been researching this recently, Qinglv specifically made a file for the staff to study.
Qinglv didn't need to explain further; Li Wei himself was a Breeder.
Li Wei's eyes lit up, "Thanks."
Li Wei mainly wanted to learn about the diet to see if there were any improved plans.
Eevee is purely a carnivorous Pokemon and doesn't eat vegetables, but Berries don't count.
Because Eevee eats Energy Cubes and Poffins made from Berries.
"I'll go bathe Eevee first. You all chat."
Li Wei went offline for a bit; work was important.
After bathing all eight Eevee, Li Wei was almost sore all over, but at least it was done.
Fortunately, Xiao Meng Jie was helping, otherwise Li Wei wouldn't have been able to finish it by himself in an afternoon.
"Thanks, Xiao Meng Jie."
Xiao Meng Jie quickly waved her hand, "You did most of the bathing; I was just assisting."
Each of them was a big chatterbox in the group.
Li Wei finished bathing Eevee, an afternoon had passed, and they were still chatting.
After all, the Master League had started again, and they were watching the matches and chatting, while routinely teasing Gold.
Because Gold's performance in such official competitions was poor; he was the type with many unorthodox methods.
It's like not being allowed to smoke in esports competitions...
If he could smoke, even Faker would...
And Steven was unusually still online.
Li Wei had just obtained a strange meteorite that morning, and he wanted to ask Steven to take a look.
Li Wei privately messaged Steven, "I have a strange stone here, and I'd like you to take a look."
Hearing about a strange stone, Steven's eyes lit up, "No problem, send it over."
Li Wei took a video around the meteorite and uploaded it to the chat group.
Steven's tone carried a hint of excitement,
"Where did you find it?"
