On the farm, Bunnelby, covered in dust, collapsed onto the field, looking at the results of its day's hard work. A silly, heartfelt smile spread across its face.

"Hoo bi hoo bi!"

It had learned from Machamp. Gardevoir was able to evolve into her final form because Kaito gave her a Gem. If it worked hard, it might also be rewarded with a Gem, so it went all out.

Although Machamp had helped a little, considering Bunnelby's motivation, she let Bunnelby complete the task alone. This increased the likelihood of his dream coming true. Adding yesterday's one hundred square meters, Bunnelby had cultivated a total of one mu of land, approximately six hundred sixty-seven square meters. It was truly tired. But Bunnelby believed that effort would definitely be rewarded! It wanted to evolve and become a majestic and handsome Pokémon!

Kaito looked at the panel, silent. So... during the time I was out, Bunnelby cultivated over five hundred square meters of land? Why was he so pumped up today?

This sudden notification really confused him. Bunnelby cultivated land for a day, bringing him a Seed Pack and Fertilizer Pack, containing a large variety of seeds and different types of fertilizer. And the most valuable item, the Shiny Stone! He would have to reward Bunnelby well when he got back.

Kaito flipped onto Arcanine's back, sitting on its soft, fluffy fur, feeling very comfortable.

"Charge, charge, charge!"

"Woof!" Arcanine carried Kaito forward, like an orange blur fluttering in the wind, almost impossible for ordinary human eyes to catch. Only afterimages were left behind. Despite the incredible speed, Kaito didn't feel any bumps; he gave the riding experience a perfect score. Four-wheel drive is stable!

Before they had gone much further, Gardevoir, who was secretly following, sent a telepathic message.

"Kaito, there's a little guy here asking for Helping Hand. It looks like a fox and a dog, and it's all brown."

Kaito was startled. Isn't that... Eevee?!

"Doggy, let's turn back!"

Arcanine: ? Didn't he just say "charge, charge, charge"? He was already prepared to speed up...

They went back a short distance, and there, in front of Gardevoir, stood a small Pokémon. Eevee's appearance is based on a fox, and most of its fur is brown. Its defining features are the fluffy cream-colored fur around its neck and tail, and its short, slender legs, each with three toes and pink paw pads.

"Bui! Bui!" Eevee saw Kaito approaching and was initially a little scared, taking two steps back. Then, sensing the Viridian Power on him, it stopped, feeling a bit more friendly.

It was indeed Eevee. Kaito's gaze swept past Eevee and then landed on Gardevoir.

"What happened? What kind of Helping Hand does it need?"

"It seems its companion is more seriously injured, so it came out to find Pokémon to help."

Companion? Are there more than one Eevee?

The system notified: Identity Quest: Rescue a Pokémon. Quest Content: As a qualified Trainer, you should do your best to help when weak Pokémon seek assistance. Quest Reward: Viridian Power enhancement.

Kaito glanced at the notification indifferently. Even without this reward, he would still help. "Lead the way."

In the dim forest, fading rays of twilight cast an eerie and strange glow through the trees, the shadows of branches forming ghostly claw shapes. If during the day various Pokémon were active in the forest, then at night, it was the domain of Ghost-type Pokémon and nocturnal Pokémon. Kaito even caught a glimpse of a Noctowl perched on a branch.

Gardevoir's figure was ghostly, able to Flash a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. Arcanine ran nimbly, still moving fast through the forest, with Kaito on its back, holding the small and adorable Eevee in his arms.

His hands trembled slightly, because Kaito was a bit tense.

He checked the profile of the Eevee he was holding: Name: Eevee, Nickname: None, Ability: Anticipation (Hidden Ability), Type: Normal-type, Level: Lv. 17, Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Defense (25), Special Attack (31), Special Defense (27), Speed (31), Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand Attack, Quick Attack..., Egg Moves: Double Kick, Potential: Quasi-Elite Four-tier.

An Eevee with Quasi-Elite Four-tier potential! And it even has a Hidden Ability! For him to encounter such a wild Pokémon, his luck was truly too good.

Not long after, Arcanine, guided by Eevee, arrived at a grassy clearing. In that clearing, stood another anxious-looking Eevee, and a Leafeon lying on the ground.

Leafeon?!

He quickly checked its profile: Name: Leafeon, Nickname: None, Ability: Leaf Guard, Type: Grass-type, Level: Lv. 28, Individual Values: HP (26), Attack (31), Defense (25), Special Attack (21), Special Defense (20), Speed (31), Moves: Swift, Leech Seed, Magical Leaf, Double-Edge..., Egg Moves: Double Kick, Potential: Gym Leader-tier.

Kaito didn't hesitate, flipping down with Eevee and walking in for a closer look.

The fallen Pokémon had the features of both a cat and a fox, a brown body, and dark brown claws. There were some leaves on its body, a longer leaf in the center of its forehead, and its ears and tail also looked like leaves. Its hard tail was like a sharp blade, incomparably keen. Its sharpness surpassed even famous swords, capable of cutting down a large tree in two.

It was indeed a Leafeon. Kaito temporarily pushed the doubts in his heart aside, placing his hands ten centimeters above Leafeon, and a concentrated green light emerged.

"Bui?" The anxious little Eevee asked the Eevee that had sought help. Receiving a reply that help had arrived, the little Eevee also relaxed slightly, no longer tensing its small face.

Three Eevee, two at Gym Leader-tier and one at Quasi-Elite Four-tier; such wild Pokémon are truly rare. However, none were as surprising as the Leafeon. I'll ask about that after it wakes up, Kaito muttered to himself.

Gentle life energy enveloped Leafeon, and its previously cut leaves healed and turned emerald green. Leafeon's injuries also gradually healed, visibly improving. Leafeon's cellular structure is closer to plants than animals, living quietly in the depths of forests with clear rivers. It performs Synthesis like a plant, gaining energy even without eating. Thus, it was easier for it to absorb the energy of Viridian Power.

After a few breaths, Leafeon's eyelids twitched, then it opened its gem-like brown eyes, looking at Kaito with gratitude. It knew Kaito had saved its life.

The system notified: Task completed: Rescued a Pokémon. Task reward: Viridian Power enhanced.

Kaito now has enhanced Viridian Power and a mystery on his hands: the presence of a Leafeon, an evolution that shouldn't exist in this world yet. What questions will he ask the Eevee family next?
