In Hoenn, Fallarbor Town, at the Contest Hall.
Ariel had been quite troubled recently.
This was because her Eevee simply couldn't grasp any Fairy-type moves.
Pokémon like Eevee have extremely unstable genes.
They can evolve into completely different forms under the influence of environment, energy, and day-night cycles.
Ariel and Eevee's dream was to become the world's number one Coordinator, and Eevee, ever since hatching and gaining awareness, had also been striving to evolve into Sylveon.
However, up until now, it hadn't achieved good results.
"If this keeps up, we'll miss this year's Contest!" Ariel was very worried.
"Booyi…"
The little Eevee was also quite disheartened; not being able to evolve into Sylveon made it feel very bad.
Seeing this, Ariel rubbed Eevee's small head and comforted it, "Don't be sad, you've already tried very hard!"
Although she said that, Ariel was also a bit worried that Eevee might evolve into Espeon or Umbreon for other reasons.
Xiao Long, a Trainer traveling with Ariel, suggested:
"Why don't we find a Breeder to help us?"
Breeder…
Ariel suddenly remembered the Breeding House she saw on the way to Fallarbor Town the day before yesterday.
Generally speaking, Breeding Houses can also help teach Pokémon certain moves.
But the problem was, that Breeding House looked very dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned for a long time, and she didn't know if it would work, which made her very unconfident.
However, there was no other way now. Fallarbor Town primarily attracted Trainers and Coordinator Trainers, and they didn't know any powerful Breeders, so there was no way to find someone to help teach Eevee Fairy-type moves.
Never mind, let's go check it out first. If it works, fine; if not, they'll find other solutions!
Ariel made up her mind, immediately left the town, and followed the road they came from, heading west. After spending a lot of time, she finally saw the familiar building ahead.
"Huh? Is it my imagination? It feels like this place has changed so much!"
Ariel walked closer and realized it wasn't her imagination at all; the entire Breeding House had been renovated.
A "Now Open" sign hung on the door, and on the right side, there was a small blackboard listing the services currently offered by the Breeding House.
[Breeding House Main Services]
[1. Pokémon Boarding]
[2. Currently Teachable Moves: Baby-Doll Eyes, Tackle.]
[3. Rare Items for Trade: Common Stones, Big Root.]
[4. Room and Board]
Ariel's eyes immediately noticed Baby-Doll Eyes listed above.
Baby-Doll Eyes, a Fairy-type move!
As long as Eevee could learn it, it could successfully evolve into Sylveon!
"Boss!"
Ariel exclaimed excitedly, pushing open the door and shouting inside.
Kawaki, who was reading a book about Pokémon breeding, looked up and saw a familiar green-haired girl at the door.
It was the Trainer who had passed by the Breeding House with her Eevee the day before yesterday.
"Welcome." Kawaki said.
Ariel rushed forward excitedly and asked, "Boss, can you really teach Baby-Doll Eyes here?"
"Of course." Kawaki smiled slightly.
"I want to learn it!" Ariel immediately said.
However, the next second, Xiao Long and Xiao Hui, who had come with her, quickly pulled her aside.
The three of them whispered loudly there.
"Hey, don't you think something's a little strange?"
"This Breeding House is so empty!"
A normal Breeding House usually houses many Pokémon, but here there was only one Bewear.
Even stranger, the so-called boss looked like a little kid, didn't he?
Was he really ten years old?
You know, teaching Pokémon moves isn't an easy task. Even experienced, senior Breeders wouldn't dare say they could definitely make a Pokémon learn a specific move.
And this little kid in front of them, who was only ten years old, or even younger than them, could he really do it?
"He's not a swindler, is he?" Xiao Hui couldn't help but say.
After Xiao Hui's reminder, Ariel finally came to her senses.
The three of them turned to look at the boss behind the counter.
Kawaki: "…"
He, however, turned his gaze to the Eevee on the girl's shoulder, and then slowly began to speak:
"Pokémon like Eevee have very unstable genes. Both the surrounding environment and their bond with their Trainer can cause them to evolve."
"A Fire Stone will make Eevee evolve into Flareon, a Water Stone will make Eevee evolve into Vaporeon. An Eevee with a close bond with its Trainer will evolve into Espeon during the day. Conversely, it will evolve into Umbreon. As for Sylveon, its evolution conditions are very strict."
At this point, Kawaki paused, then smiled and asked:
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to learn Baby-Doll Eyes because you want this Eevee to evolve into Sylveon, right?"
Hearing this, the three of them were slightly stunned.
Xiao Hui, being a junior Breeder, was somewhat incredulous.
So… so professional!
This information could definitely not be spoken by an ordinary ten-year-old boy!
What was even more shocking was that despite scholars from various regions conducting research, some of Eevee's evolution conditions still had no accurate answers to this day.
Take Espeon, for example. People only knew that Eevee could evolve into Espeon if it evolved during the day, and if it evolved at night, it would become Umbreon.
But sometimes, Eevee would evolve into Sylveon even during the day…
Through comparative research by scholars, it was discovered that for Eevee to evolve into Sylveon, it needed to master a Fairy-type move.
But even so, even if Eevee had already mastered a Fairy-type move, they couldn't guarantee 100% that it would evolve into Sylveon.
There were also many instances where Eevee, despite mastering a Fairy-type move, evolved into Espeon.
Would intimacy, and the depth of the bond with the Trainer, also affect Eevee's form change?
This boss, however, could speak so accurately… Was he talking nonsense, or was all of this true?
The former would be fine, but if it were the latter, it would be a bit terrifying.
If these specific conditions were true, it would definitely cause a huge uproar outside.
Who was this boss? Xiao Hui felt a little surprised in his heart.
Ariel, however, didn't think that much. Hearing Kawaki's question, she nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right!"
Kawaki smiled slightly, "Then, would you like to try?"
Ariel asked, "If we learn Baby-Doll Eyes, how much will it cost?"
Kawaki wasn't sure how other Breeding Houses priced their move teaching services. He hadn't had a chance to investigate in person yet, so he casually threw out a number.
"5000 alliance coin."
"5000?!" Ariel exclaimed.
Kawaki raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. Had he priced it too expensively?
However, the next second, he heard Ariel say, "So cheap! Other Breeding Houses charge at least 10,000 alliance coin for one move!" And it's not even guaranteed to be taught.
Kawaki reacted quickly and immediately added, "Because you are the first customer since this Breeding House opened, I gave you a discount."
"Wow!" Ariel's eyes widened.
What a bargain!
