IGN: Dekydek The Cute Eevee Once upon a time, a child was watching the television. The TV was showing a documentary focused on Pokemons. Today's topic was about the Eevee's, their different evolutionary forms, and the reason why they have so many evolutions. The child was mesmerized by the cuteness of the Pokemon on the TV, and subconsciously thought. 'I want an Eevee as a starter!' That night, after the child's parents returned home, he told them about the documentary he watched and told them that he wanted an Eevee as a starter. Despite Eevee being an expensive Pokemon that their family can't afford, the parents still promised the child with a smile on their faces thinking that this was just a momentary whim. ... Years passed, the child is already 12 years old. Through the years, he has fallen more and more in love with the Eevee Pokemon. He studied the Pokemon's data, the different requirement for evolution, as well as writing a training plan for it! On his birthday, he was very giddy thinking about starting his journey with his favorite Pokemon. The boy's parents watched their child through the years. Seeing his efforts and not wanting to disappoint him, they took side jobs and exhausted themselves to earn enough money. However, it is still not enough. The husband has no choice but to check for an Eevee in the underground market. Pumping himself up, he carefully searched the different stalls. And finally, he saw an Eevee that he could afford. All the Pokemon in that area are thin and weak, looking like they're on the verge of death. The husband has already looked around most of the area, and they could only afford this Eevee. ... The boy looked at the weak Eevee in front of him. His parents apologized to him, saying that this was the only Eevee they could get. The boy told them not to mind, just optimistically thinking to himself 'I'll train it so that it becomes stronger quickly and be the best Eevee!' Weeks passed, the Eevee was very clingy to the boy. They slept together, trained together, and traveled together. The Eevee lost its malnourished form and regained the normal look of its species. Standing at the gate of the first gym, the boy and Eevee looked at each other, confidence overflowing from their eyes. ...They were crushed. They can't even get past the first Pokemon of the gym leader. The boy comforted the Eevee, telling her that it was his fault for not training her properly. So after healing, the boy and the Eevee continued their journey. Training, challenging, and then getting beaten by the Gym leader, the cycle continued for two months until the Gym leader became annoyed of their constant challenge. Giving the badge to the boy, he gave a word of advice "Discard that Pokemon and choose another one. I know you only have enough money to cultivate one Pokemon, so don't waste it. Its talent is simply lacking, it hasn't even progressed this two months!" Both the boy and Pokemon were devastated by what the Gym leader had done, as well as his parting words. Throwing the badge back at his face, the boy and the Eevee ran. They spent the rest of the year travelling the region, constantly challenging the gym leaders. Even until the Indigo League this year started, they haven't won a single badge. The boy was in deep doubts, the words of the first gym leader echoing in his mind. The Eevee was guilty for not living up to the boys trust. She pushed her body, training herself even until the dead of the night. The boy watched the broadcast of the Indigo League, fascinated by the strength of the Pokemons there. Looking back at his Eevee, he began to hesitate whether to replace it. Her increase in strength is abysmal, and the evolution stone he spent all his allowance for doesn't work on her. The Indigo League ended and the Gyms resumed operation. His decision of keeping the Eevee continued to waver with each gym leader they weren't able to beat. The boy and Pokemon became more and more frustrated. Although the boy doesn't say anything, he no longer comforts the Eevee after each defeated battle. He began looking at other Pokemon in the Pokenet while in their spare time. Their separation was inevitable. Both of them knew it. The boy is indifferent, even looking forward to it. He was only lamenting how naive he was as a child. The Eevee, meanwhile, cling to her Trainer more and more. She doesn't want to be abandoned by her saviour, but she was ignored. On one night, while the Eevee was sleeping, exhausted from its training, the boy took it back in the Pokeball. Locking the Pokeball, the boy headed towards the meeting place with the buyer. Exchanging the Pokeball with a sum of cash, the boy was excited at the thought of finally getting a strong Pokemon. The buyer let out the Eevee for confirmation. Opening her bleary eyes, the Eevee looked at the figure of its trainer and another human figure shaking hands. With her human saying goodbye to her, the Eevee understood what happened. Tears accumulate at the corner of her eyes. She let out a loud whimper before suddenly being taken back in the Pokeball. The boy never forgot that sound... Eevee was my favorite Pokemon when I was a child. I even had my drawer full of its stickers. When I played Fire red for the first time, I was so happy when I got the Eevee. Then...it was trashed. I remember its move pool being limited then. Flareon being my favorite Eeveelution was also useless according to child me. Anyways, here is a dramatic story on how I let my Eevee rot in the PC.
