I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

"Gary, did you buy an Eevee?" Ash asked curiously when he saw Gary with Eevee.

"Yes, I did. Now Eevee is my Pokémon." Gary petted Eevee's furry head.

Eevee did not resist at all and let Gary pet its head with a look of enjoyment.

Gary had gone out with Blaine earlier to finalize the matter with Eevee. After paying 1 million, this Eevee now belongs to Gary. 

In the future, he will contact Blaine every month to report on Eevee's growth.

"Ash, have all your Pokémon been healed?" Gary asked.

"No, they're still being treated," Ash replied.

Gary looked at the three Poké Balls placed in the treatment device and said, "Then you wait here. Sabrina and I will leave first."

"You're leaving?" Ash was shocked.

"Gary, aren't you planning to stay and watch Ash challenge the gym for the second time?" Misty asked in confusion.

"I originally wanted to see your strength, Ash, but after watching your battle with Blaine, I found that your Trainer level isn't high enough. The only Pokémon you can rely on are Pikachu and Charizard. Charizard doesn't listen to you. You're far from being my rival," Gary said.

"R...!" Ash, who was initially quite calm, blushed instantly. Although Ash has grown a lot, he still became restless in the face of Gary's remarks.

"Gary, I admit that you're better than me now, but I will definitely get the Volcano Badge and surpass you in the future," Ash said.

"Then you have to work hard. Sabrina, let's go." Seeing Ash regain his fighting spirit, Gary didn't say much and took Sabrina out of Cinnabar Laboratory.

Watching Gary and Sabrina leave, Ash looked at Blaine again and asked, "Mr. Blaine, can I battle you again?"

Blaine was surprised. He didn't expect Ash to regain his confidence so quickly after losing once and still want to challenge him.

"Okay, then let's have the second match tomorrow afternoon. We'll have a 1-on-1 battle," Blaine said.

"1-on-1!?" Ash was a little confused. It was 3-on-3 before; why is it suddenly 1-on-1?

"I already know your strength. Just like Gary said, the only Pokémon you can rely on are Pikachu and Charizard. It's not fair to have a 3-on-3 battle with you," Blaine explained.

Ash "......…!"

Although he was a little shocked, Ash thought it was good. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know which Pokémon to use as the third Pokémon.

...!

Inside the B&B.

Gary and Sabrina were packing their bags and planned to take the afternoon cruise to leave Cinnabar Island and return to the mainland.

"Eevee!" Although Eevee had just been obtained, it was quite sensible and helped Gary pack his bags.

```

[Pokémon: Eevee]

[Attribute: Normal]

[Level: 33]

[Potential: Quasi-Legendary]

[Ability: Anticipation (can detect dangerous situations.)]

[Skills: Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand Attack, Helping Hand, Quick Attack, Swift, Bite, Copycat, Baton Pass.]

[Intimacy: 185 (max value 255)]

```

The ability of this Eevee with quasi-legendary potential is the hidden ability Anticipation. 

This ability can predict whether the opponent has a move that can be dangerous in the game.

But in reality, this ability is very special. In addition to being able to predict whether the opponent has a move that can be dangerous, the Pokémon's own perception will also be improved, making its response speed very fast.

Gary is very satisfied with this Eevee. Regardless of whether it can evolve successfully in the future, he will train it well. 

After all, the potential of a quasi-legendary cannot be wasted.

"Eevee, enter the Poké Ball," Gary said, taking out the Poké Ball to recall Eevee.

"Eevee." Seeing the Poké Ball, Eevee immediately ran to the back of the backpack, looking reluctant.

"Don't you want to enter the Poké Ball?" Gary asked.

"Eevee."

Eevee nodded frantically.

Although it was a bit inconvenient to leave Pokémon outside, it was okay to leave Eevee outside when Ash's Pikachu was also left outside.

"Okay, then I won't put you in the Poké Ball, but if you stay outside, you must stay by my side and don't attack humans randomly," Gary reminded.

"Eevee."

Eevee nodded frequently, then hugged Gary's leg, showing a smile that said "non-humans are the best."

"Gary, don't we stay on Cinnabar Island for a few more days?" Sabrina asked.

"Why? Do you want to stay a few more days?" Gary asked.

"If possible, I want to stay for three more days," Sabrina said.

"But I only booked two days at the B&B. If we don't leave today, we won't have a place to stay," Gary said.

Although Gary is a rich second-generation, there are too many people coming to Cinnabar Island. The hotels are full, and even the Pokémon Center can't accommodate them. Gary can't find a place to live now.

"Okay, let's go."

Sabrina didn't want to stay any longer, seeing that there was no place to stay.

She wanted to soak in the hot springs for a few more days, but since there was no place to stay, there was no hot spring to soak in.

So, the two packed their luggage, had lunch at the B&B, and took a boat back to the mainland in the afternoon.

...!

Harbor City.

After arriving in Harbor City from Cinnabar Island, Gary and Sabrina stayed in Harbor City for a while.

If you want to ask why, it was naturally because there was a gym in Harbor City.

Gary planned to train here for a few weeks, and after getting the gym badge here, he would go to Viridian City.

During this period, Gary also took a good look at the Eevee he had just obtained.

It was indeed as Blaine said, this Eevee could not evolve, no matter what evolution stone was used, it could not evolve.

When the evolution stone touched Eevee, it would react, and the evolution light would flash on Eevee, but the light would last for a while and then dissipate.

Eevee didn't carry an Everstone with it, but it just couldn't evolve.

Anyway, it couldn't evolve with the evolution stone.

As for whether Eevee can evolve into Espeon or Umbreon, Cinnabar Laboratory is not sure, as the evolution through friendship has not been thoroughly studied.

Because you can't be sure of friendship. If the relationship between Pokémon and Trainer is good enough and the potential is met, it can definitely evolve, but if the relationship is not good, it will not evolve successfully anyway.

If this Eevee can evolve, Gary naturally hopes that it can evolve into an Umbreon, so he still carries an Everstone for this Eevee, just in case, and only takes it off at night.

"Eevee!"

After the performance training, Eevee came to Gary and called for energy blocks.

Gary also took out two energy blocks for Eevee to eat and touched Eevee's fur by the way. The fur was a little wet, damp with sweat.
