What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Ai tried to think positively about things, focusing her gaze on Eevee.

Eevee looked majestic and composed, showing no sign of panic, which made Aine swallow hard. Her tension gradually dissipated, and she stared intently at Ash, but her face flushed even more.

So Ai Yin turned her attention to Pa Dong Monkey.

"Huh? Why did she look away from me?"

Xiao Zhi tilted his head, feeling a little confused.

When trainers' eyes meet, isn't that a signal for battle? Why is Aine so delicate as to look away first?

Xiao Zhi, who considers himself to have high emotional intelligence, was puzzled.

You don't understand women's hearts, do you? Zhibao, if you beg me, I'll tell you!

"Forget it, there's no need for that. I probably already know that."

"With such a cool Pokémon as Raptor, how could I not go see it?"

Ash quickly found his answer: if it were him, he would definitely choose to look at the Pokémon first, rather than the human first.

Wow~ This level of strength has a unique kind of beauty; how can a Pokémon as cool as Rillaboom be so powerful?

Although his is a pat-down monkey, not a thunder king gorilla.

【I don't think so... Waaah, you low-EQ idiot!】

"Aine, are you ready? It's almost time to start." Ash said energetically to Aine in front of him.

"Okay, come on, I'm...ready."

Aine has mostly sorted out her mindset; the only obstacle is that she can't bring herself to look the other person in the eye. Just one more glance would affect her composure.

"Eevee, use Charm!"

"Bui! Ah~~"

Eevee parted its mouth slightly, releasing a pink light wave that gently and beautifully filled the air. This enchanting sound, like a spell, entwined with the mind of the monkey, plunging it into a state of blissful intoxication.

There's absolutely no need to stop the alluring voices that aren't from our own department with the grassy slide.

This battle was meant to help Aine regain her confidence, and Ash had no intention of ending the battle quickly.

Even if Aine is particularly bad at cooking, he will still forcefully help her up.

We spend every day together, from morning till night, playing happily with Ai Yin until we're tired.

[Zhibao, I have a feeling your ideas are dangerous! In that case, I suggest using Hell Strike on Xiao Aiyin!]

"Panyuu, block this for me!" Ignoring Friko's words, Ash focused his attention on the battle.

"Pachi~" Pachi monkey straightened its back and used its hands to protect itself more tightly, trying to use its body to block this invisible attack.

As for what skill it is? It's not a skill!

This mental attack wasn't very powerful and couldn't cause much damage to the Padun Monkey.

"Release the high-speed star, then use the Enchanting Voice to increase its speed!"

The surrounding air seemed to boil with excitement, and countless golden stars appeared around Eevee, like a shimmering sea of ​​stars, dazzling and mesmerizing.

"Bui~~ Ah~~"

Eevee's cry rang out, and through the impact of its enchanting voice, Swift's speed increased to an even higher level.

With the shockwave from their cries, they gathered together at incredible speed, forming a dazzling stream of light that rushed straight toward the Padong monkey.

"So powerful, too powerful, but I'll use the grass slide!"

"Pachi!"

Padong Monkey mobilized the surrounding natural forces, moving its position swiftly as if gliding on the ground.

Its staff is like a nimble conductor's baton; with a gentle swing, it sweeps away all of Eevee's Swift. Utilizing its Grass Slide, it launches Eevee away with almost impossible speed and agility.

"Eevee!" Aine couldn't help but call out in worry, but Eevee quickly flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

Ibrahimovic was not defeated by the attack. It quickly stood up, its eyes shining with determination.

"Bui... (It's okay!)"

Seeing this, Aine was deeply moved. This time, Eevee seemed to be responding to her heart, not falling down immediately, but wanting to win.

Ash: Even if we run away or get lost, it's okay. As long as we try our best to find a way out with our Pokémon, we will definitely succeed.

Ash was right after all...

Looking at the boy not far away, Aine felt increasingly uneasy, but she had already developed the desire to win.

"In that case, Ibrahimovic, we absolutely must win! Use Quick Attack at full power!"

Aine swung her hand forward, and Ibu shouted in response.

"Bui (We must win!)!!!"

Instantly, Eevee was enveloped in blue and white light, a warm feeling surged through its body, and its body gradually grew larger, with bow-shaped antennae appearing.

"This is..."

"The Light of Evolution?"

Ash watched this scene with trembling emotions. Just by looking at the shape permeated by the blue and white light, he could already understand what it was.

That's the most powerful member of the Ibuki family.

Sylveon!

"Nymph~"

At this moment, the pink and white Sylveon appeared on the battlefield, its gaze fixed on the Pappus not far away.

Its base stat total is 525, which is significantly higher than the current Padmon.

Sylveon – the adorable Pokémon, and the most useful member of the Eevee family. Rumor has it that it's in a romantic relationship with Hydreigon.

"That's wonderful, Aine, Sylveon has chosen to respond to your heart."

Ash was overjoyed the moment he saw the evolution and couldn't help but praise it.

"Hehehe~, but Ash also deserves credit for this~ I definitely couldn't have done it alone."

Upon hearing this, Aine's face flushed even more, and she let out a strange laugh.

Hehehe~ Sylveon, my Sylveon... This time it will definitely crush Rishi!

Ugh... But... I accidentally made eye contact with Ash again... So embarrassing.

Perhaps because the other party had helped a lot, Aine felt increasingly strange about her feelings.

Even in battle, it is difficult to concentrate.

"Sylveon, use Quick Attack! Charge at it and keep attacking!"

"Nymph~~"

Immediately, Sylveon's body was enveloped in a shimmering phantom, and its speed instantly soared, as if it had transformed into a bolt of lightning.

With its amazing speed, Sylveon relentlessly attacks Paddlesaw, forcing Paddlesaw to react quickly each time to avoid being hit.

"pachi~~"

"Padong Monkey, don't panic! Put down your drumsticks and grab it!"

Ash frowned. Although it was indeed very fast, Sylveon's base Speed ​​stat was too slow. Even with Quick Attack, its figure could still be seen.

"Pachi!!!"

39. Maga evolves, but don't store water for spraying (3rd update)

With a flash of lightning, it launched wave after wave of rapid attacks on Sylveon. Sylveon's body was enveloped in afterimages, each attack bringing dazzling light and astonishing speed.

When faced with Eevee's Quick Attack, the monkey's gaze was drawn to it as if by a magnet, constantly following the rapidly moving light. Although it was hit by Quick Attack several times, it was not seriously injured.

A flash of lightning that is not of its own kind ultimately has only this much power.

One hit, two hits, three hits, four hits...

It wasn't just about defense. Ash and Pappus were looking for an opportunity the instant after each Eevee attack.

Just as Eevee unleashed Quick Attack again, preparing to launch its next attack, Pappus finally found its opportunity.

"Nymph!"

Sylveon's body flashed in afterimages as it charged forward. However, in that instant, Machamp moved and grabbed Sylveon.

"Sylveon, use Close-Range Hyper Beam!"

Upon seeing this, Aine became somewhat flustered.

Instead of letting Sylveon escape, it used its most powerful Hyper Beam at close range.

Suddenly, a powerful energy gathered in Sylveon's mouth, but Ash didn't intend to give her that chance.

"Aine, that's it, Paton Monkey, use your final acrobatic trick."

"Pachichichi!"

The Padong Monkey was surrounded by white light. Like a juggler, its movements were fast and precise, and the drumstick in its hand was swung in a beautiful arc.

Suddenly, Pawmonkey unleashed its full power, using its most powerful acrobatic move to send Sylveon flying.

Acrobatics: A skillful attack on the opponent. Deals significant damage when not carrying any special items.

It's an incredibly powerful move with a power of 110. Even though it's not a STAB move, Pawmonkey's move is stronger than its STAB Grass Glide!

"Nymph?!" Sylveon was caught off guard by Paddlemonkey's acrobatics; its body trembled, and its eyes were filled with surprise.

“Nymph…”

Sylveon then arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, losing its ability to battle. It transformed into its characteristic round-eyed form, while Pummel sat limply on the ground after the fall.

The sudden flash of lightning, like scraping a gua sha, may not have caused any immediate damage, but it can accumulate and be quite deadly.

"I lost... Ash is really good." Ai helped Sylveon up and took out some healing medicine from her pocket to spray it on the other animal.

Lost...

Aine sighed helplessly, but this time she felt unexpectedly relieved.

From what she learned at school, she knew that Sylveon's evolution condition was related to affection, and this evolution was undoubtedly because Sylveon had accepted her.

"Do you feel much more relaxed now? I was so close to losing. Aine is really strong, so you don't need to feel inferior. Instead, you should feel proud."

Ash came up to Aine and looked at her with sincere eyes. Under that gaze, Aine's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"I see... Hmm, I believe you."

The other person was probably oblivious and didn't notice, but the two of them were so close that they looked like a couple.

To be honest, Aine is very confident in her looks, and she looks a lot like the famous idol trainer Maruyama Aya, but it's completely useless to Mutou.

[Zhibao, I suspect this woman has already fallen for you. Take this opportunity to grab Raichu and Sylveon for a picnic! That way you can get your fourth companion—oh wait, six companions, that's enough for all of them to be Eevee! And they won't be the same for everyone.]

Do you think you're speaking human language? And what would I need Eevee for?

Xiao Zhi inwardly felt disgusted.

In this world, apart from Du... Peony, not many people would bring more than two Eevee. Even if they bring Umbreon and Sylveon, that's the most they'd bring.

If it were a speaker-themed character, you could use Tiger, Gorilla, and Bear to create a popular doubles team, but there are just too many Eevee variants, and Eevee fans can't handle it all.

If all else fails, a trainer might have to step in to counter Eevee's poor performance. For example, Ash would have to suspect that the Electric-type Gym Leader of the Sinnoh League, Denji, might use moves like Rasengan or Flying Thunder God to win the championship.

Even Sister Zhulan said she couldn't stand it when she saw it!

"Ah...you have flower petals in your hair." After saying that, Ash smiled slightly and gently picked the flower petals off Aine's hair.

"...Thanks."

Ai Yin shyly took a step back, her cheeks slightly flushed, like a blooming cherry blossom bowing its head bashfully in the spring breeze.

As for how much she blushed? Her blush was even more intense than Sylveon's pink.

Deep down, she was still grateful to Ash. Without him, she probably would never have taken this step, would never have kept up with the pace of this group, and would have run away again like she had when she fled from the Galar region.

Sylveon's talent, once developed, should be enough to battle against Gym Leaders, and Aine wants to take that step.

First, you need Sylveon, and then you need to gather six companions to try and secure the championship.
