"Eevee!" * 4
Hearing Xian Hou's words, the Eevee became invigorated, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
They expressed their desire and excitement for evolution through body language, their tails held high, brimming with power, ready to embrace new changes.
Immediately, each of them chose a favorite evolution stone.
This group of Eevee simultaneously touched the evolution stones, and as their small paws landed, a bright Flash enveloped the Eevee.
Everyone marveled at the beautiful sight, their eyes fixed on the Eevee's bodies, witnessing their evolution process.
Ultimately, these evolution stones caused them to evolve into Jolteon, Fire Eevee, Vaporeon, and Leafeon respectively.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi took out his Pokédex again and scanned them, recording the data of these Pokémon. However, for Leafeon, there was only a name, and not much data appeared.
Xiao Mao sighed, accustomed to such situations, "It's time for Grandpa to upgrade the Pokédex."
Following this, Xian Hou released two Pokémon from her poké ball.
The first was a magnificent Umbreon, its fur jet black, its eyes glowing red, its entire body covered with dazzling golden ring patterns.
The second Pokémon was a graceful Sylveon. Its body was primarily pure white, with its head, ears, tail, and the lower half of its legs adorned with soft pink.
Its eyes were as clear and bright as turquoise water droplets, and it wore two cute bows on its left ear and neck.
Two thin ribbons were tied to the bows, displaying a gradient of pink, dark blue, and light blue.
Xiao Mao also released his Eevee, and when the Eevee saw the Umbreon, its eyes immediately lit up, filled with excitement and curiosity.
When Xiao Xia saw the Vaporeon, she praised it profusely, saying, "Wow! This Vaporeon is so beautiful!"
Tai Yi held his Eevee tightly, his heart filled with conflict and hesitation. He looked at his brother, Lei Zang, seemingly seeking some answers. Tai Yi's true thought at this moment was that he did not want his Eevee to evolve yet.
Lei Zang noticed Tai Yi's hesitation and anxiety. He walked closer to Tai Yi and gently patted his shoulder. Then, he asked gently, "Tai Yi, what are you thinking? Evolution is a kind of growth and change, but I understand you might have your own concerns. You can tell me what you think."
Tai Yi felt his brother's care and understanding. He let out a breath and responded softly, "I know evolution can make Eevee stronger, but I'm still a little reluctant to let it change its appearance. I like how it looks now, and we've been through a lot together."
Lei Zang smiled, listening attentively to Tai Yi's words. However, when he heard the other party say he didn't want Eevee to evolve, he was momentarily stunned.
Xian Hou then stepped in to help Tai Yi, telling Lei Zang, "I believe Tai Yi's decision should be respected. Eevee's evolution is a personal choice, and we cannot force Tai Yi to evolve it."
"Every evolutionary form has its unique beauty and abilities, but it also brings changes and challenges. Tai Yi should be given enough time and space to decide his and Eevee's future."
Xian Hou spoke these words with a hint of nervousness, as this was her first interaction with Tai Yi and Lei Zang.
She was usually more introverted and felt a bit nervous speaking much in front of outsiders, but she sincerely hoped Tai Yi could make his own decision, unaffected by external influences.
Lei Zang let out a long breath. As an older brother, he had always hoped to provide Tai Yi with the best help and guidance.
Seeing Xian Hou able to offer Tai Yi such support and advice, he looked at Xian Hou with gratitude.
Then, he turned to Tai Yi and said affectionately, "Tai Yi, I know you've always had your own thoughts and concerns. I hope you know that no matter what your choice is, we will fully support you."
"Our family's unity, just like the bond between you and Eevee, cannot be shaken by any force."
Tai Yi felt incredibly warm and comforted listening to his brother's warm words. He looked at his brother affectionately, tears welling in his eyes, then hugged Eevee tightly.
"Such deep brotherly affection," Xiao Gang said with emotion, deeply understanding the preciousness of brotherhood. As someone with younger siblings, he could deeply feel the emotional bond between Tai Yi, Lei Zang, and the others.
Xiao Xia sighed and said, "Yes, I can understand how my sisters felt back then now..."
While the two were lamenting the deep brotherly affection, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao came closer to the group of Eevee, looking at them with great curiosity and exclaiming in wonder.
"Wow, Eevee is truly amazing! Its various evolutionary forms all have unique abilities and appearances!" Xiao Zhi said excitedly.
Xiao Mao also said with excitement, "That's right! Even with the same Eevee, different evolution methods lead to different characteristics and abilities. It's truly incredible!"
Xiao Zhi's gaze lingered on the evolved Eevee, attracted by the charm and power they displayed.
He carefully observed each evolved Eevee, paying close attention to their different forms and characteristics. In his eyes, each Eevee represented an excellent evolution, a treasure in the Pokémon World.
Xiao Zhi pointed at two of them with great interest and exclaimed, "Sylveon, Umbreon, these two are evolutionary forms discovered in other regions!"
Xiao Zhi's emotions were indeed a bit agitated, and Xian Hou was startled by his voice.
After all, Xian Hou was usually more introverted and found sudden enthusiastic expressions a bit hard to adapt to.
Xiao Zhi noticed Xian Hou's reaction and realized he had been a bit impulsive. He immediately apologized to Xian Hou, "I'm sorry, Xian Hou. I might have gotten a bit too excited."
Xian Hou waved her hand and smiled, shaking her head, "It's okay, Xiao Zhi, I'm happy to see your enthusiasm for Eevee."
When Xian Hou saw Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao, a feeling of envy arose in her heart. She asked, "Um... are you two 'treasure hunting' from the school?"
Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao exchanged confused glances upon hearing Xian Hou's question.
Xiao Mao explained with a smile, "Actually, we're not treasure hunting from school. We are trainers who specialize in challenging Gyms and collecting badges."
Xiao Zhi asked in confusion, "Eh? Xiao Mao, do you know about this school?"
Xiao Mao smiled at Xiao Zhi's question, "Heh heh~ Of course, I've learned a bit about schools in various regions."
