Chapter 311: So the reason it didn't evolve was because the location was wrong, you guy, Eevee

After the meal, the sky gradually darkened.

Like Cabo Poco where the Sunshine Gym is located, Celestic Town is also a small place far from big cities and integrated with nature, so you can even see many Pokémon in the grass from a distance.

The sunset was about to end, and the most common Kricketot and Kricketune in the Sinnoh region had already begun their artistic creation.

A symphony full of natural flavor rang out in the grass.

"This kind of peaceful life seems quite good too..."

Feeling the cool evening breeze brushing against his cheeks, Xiang Qingyu looked up at the starry sea and couldn't help but sigh.

"In that case, let's stay in Celestic Town for a few more days."

Just then, Champion Zhulan, who had finished bathing and changed into home clothes, walked to his side at some point and sat down elegantly with her legs bent.

Xiang Qingyu had to admit that this suggestion actually made him a little tempted.

After all, having lived alone in Cabo Poco for so long, it's inevitable to feel lonely.

Even with his own Pokémon for company, and Nemona and Arven visiting often, it's precisely because of this that he feels even more lonely when he's alone at night.

But...

"No, I haven't made a name for myself in Paldea yet, I have to work harder!"

Xiang Qingyu shook his head, his eyes full of determination as he looked at Champion Zhulan.

Although he often said "if it doesn't work out, I'll just lie flat" in his heart at the beginning, after experiencing so much in the Pokémon world, his mentality had quietly changed.

The gym is gradually thriving, the live streaming industry is showing signs of improvement, he has gained many fans from all over the world who follow him to learn tactics, and the students who come to challenge can be said to really treat him as a good teacher.

Unknowingly, he had already gained a foothold in this world and gradually became well-known.

Therefore, whether it is to satisfy the expectations of the audience or to shoulder the responsibilities as a Gym Leader and half-teacher, he still needs to work harder to do his part.

As for resting, let's wait until after next year's Victory Road.

"I see..."

Watching Xiang Qingyu's serious expression, Champion Zhulan seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then quickly smiled.

"Well, I believe in you."

"You will definitely become the most excellent trainer in Paldea."

"Of course, while working hard, you should also make plans. When it's time to rest, you should rest well; don't bring the pressure of work into your holidays."

While speaking, Champion Zhulan suddenly changed the subject and stuck out her tongue playfully:

"Work is never finished, so just treat these few days as accompanying me."

"Temporarily forget about Paldea and the Sunshine Gym, and focus on enjoying this leisure holiday time~"

Watching Champion Zhulan's gentle amber eyes, Xiang Qingyu didn't know why he suddenly turned his head and looked at the night sky that had completely sunk into darkness again.

The bright moonlight spilled from the crescent moon of the fourth day, embellishing a vast galaxy.

The moonlight is clearly beautiful, and the wind is gentle...

But why is his face a little hot?

Xiang Qingyu subconsciously reached out to touch his somewhat hot cheeks, his mood a little complex for a while.

It was late at night.

"Eevee..."

When Xiang Qingyu had already entered dreamland, Eevee, who was curled up in a ball at the head of his bed, was rarely a little insomniac.

As the place where it was born, Eevee should have felt nostalgic for the environment nearby.

But...

It didn't know why it felt a little strange here instead.

Eevee climbed up from the bed, nimbly crossed the obstacle of Xiang Qingyu, and sat by the window, staring at an empty space outside.

If it remembered correctly, that should have been the trainer's original home.

However, it had long since disappeared as the family moved to the current location of the Sunshine Gym.

So what exactly is home?

Eevee suddenly began to think about this question.

If it is the place where it was born, Celestic Town should logically be considered its hometown.

However, after returning here, it had no extra emotions, just like coming to a travel check-in spot.

Childhood memories are full of joy, but compared to the nostalgia for Celestic Town, most of the images in its memory only have the young man who held it and ran around, always full of smiles.

From the first moment after birth, the world in its eyes seemed to be inseparable from him.

Although it had experienced some sad events before, the trainer had carried too much during that time, and in its view, he could even leave it at any time.

But even in the most difficult moments, he still took good care of it, and it was also trying its best to help the trainer share that part of the pain.

In the end, they made it through together, the trainer's face showed a smile again, he restored his gentle side, and the Sunshine Gym began to thrive.

Although he seemed to have awakened some hobbies that gave Eevee a headache, it should also be considered proof that he was in a good mood?

Being able to continue running the gym with the trainer, Eevee's small wish was already satisfied.

Sure enough, the place where the trainer is can be considered home, right?

For some reason, Eevee suddenly thought so.

In fact, Celestic Town is not important, and the Sunshine Gym is far less important than the trainer himself in its heart.

As long as it can stay with the trainer, it doesn't matter where it is.

An idea inexplicably rose in Eevee's heart, so it looked up out the window.

The bright moonlight spilled through the window onto its body, and at the same time, it stimulated the power that had been accumulating in its body.

Dots of white light soon appeared, surrounding Eevee's body.

"Eevee?!"

The magical evolution glow phenomenon—Eevee was seeing it for the first time itself, and it was even startled by it.

Feeling the large amount of changes happening in its body in a short time, Eevee's heart began to feel nervous for no reason.

If it follows its current thoughts, what will it evolve into?

The trainer had shown it the eight currently known evolution forms of Eevee, among which there is an Umbreon that can only complete evolution at night.

Before this, Eevee actually felt the same as Xiang Qingyu, always feeling that it didn't matter what it evolved into; anyway, the trainer wouldn't dislike it because of evolution.

But...

Just like flipping a coin, only when you throw it can you truly confirm your inner thoughts.

At the critical moment of evolution, Eevee finally understood its own heart.

The evolution glow suddenly contracted and soon disappeared.

Eevee also made an elegant little jump and landed lightly beside Xiang Qingyu.

"Eevee~"

It lay on Xiang Qingyu's chest with extreme familiarity, feeling the heartbeat from the trainer.

In an instant, the previously subsided evolution glow shone again, and the dazzling light instantly woke Xiang Qingyu up.

At the same time, his chest suddenly felt an amazing weight that a human body could hardly bear.

"E-evolved?"

Xiang Qingyu, who was sleepy, shook his head. It took a long time for him to react instantly, looking at the "flashbang" lying on him with a complex expression.

Good guy!

So the reason it didn't evolve was because the location was wrong, you guy, Eevee...
