I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"How can I help you?" Joey asked with a smile.

"This is my Pokémon; it needs to recover its energy." Gary placed a Poké Ball on the counter.

"Okay, please leave it to me."

Nurse Joy placed the Poké Ball on the cart next to her, then pressed a button beside her. A Chansey emerged from behind the door and pushed the cart into the treatment room.

499: Team Rocket Loses a Pokémon

"Your Pokémon will recover soon; you can go to the rest area to wait," Joy reminded her.

But Xiao Mao did not leave.

Seeing that Xiao Mao wasn't leaving, Joey asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

“Miss Joey, I have a question for you,” said Xiao Mao.

"Excuse me."

Nurse Joy not only treats trainers' Pokémon, but also provides guidance. Some Nurse Joys are even prosecutors in the Pokémon League. Nurse Joys' identities are all quite extraordinary.

"Excuse me, what was the woman wearing round-framed glasses doing here?" Xiao Mao asked.

Qiao paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you talking about Ms. Zhenyu?"

"Yes, that's her."

Shinba is the name Shinto uses to communicate with others.

“Ms. Mayu said that the prize Pokémon in the arcade is missing, so she came to ask if anyone has brought over the missing Pokémon ‘223’,” said Ms. Joy.

Xiaomao:? ? ?

What? The sprite is lost?

This is truly rare.

Team Rocket is usually the one making others throw out their Pokémon, so why are they throwing out their own Pokémon this time?

Losing a Pokémon is one thing, but the real problem is that Shin'yu even came to the Pokémon Center to ask about it. You're a member of Team Rocket, and you're looking for a Pokémon in the human league area.

No matter how you look at it... the risk is a bit too high.

"What kind of Pokémon did you lose?" Shigeru asked.

The only Pokémon that Team Rocket would care about are legendary Pokémon, but if they were truly legendary Pokémon, there would be no need to come to the Pokémon Center to look for them; that would be like walking into a trap.

“It’s an Eevee,” Joey said.

"Ibrahimovic!!"

Xiao Mao was surprised.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Shi's surprise, Nurse Joy looked puzzled. Eevee isn't exactly a rare Pokémon; many people keep Eevee as pets.

If the lost Pokémon is rare, there's a chance of finding it. But if it's an Eevee, it's really hard to find in the city, especially since Eevee is very popular with children, and almost everyone who finds one takes it home.

Besides, Pokémon are so smart, Eevee knows that it's being traded as merchandise in the arcade, and it certainly knows exactly what kind of people are in the arcade.

Rather than having it redeemed at the arcade, it's better to find a kid to be the owner. At least then you won't have to worry about food and drink, which is much better than staying in the arcade.

"It's okay, it's just that if Eevee is lost, it's basically impossible to find it again, it will definitely go with someone else," said Shigeru.

"Indeed, it was a prize from the arcade."

Joy sighed helplessly. As Joy was from Celadon City, she knew very well the treatment of the Pokémon that were treated as prizes in the arcade. Most of them did not have a good ending. They were either resold by the arcade or sold off cheaply by gamblers.

"By the way, when did Miss Mayu start looking for Eevee?" Shigeru asked.

"It'll be within the next two or three days, I don't remember the exact time," Joey said.

"Thank you for informing me, Miss Joey. I won't bother you any longer." Knowing what he wanted to know, Xiao Mao also left the counter.

"Eevee? Could it be an Eevee that has undergone some kind of experimentation?" Shigeru wondered to himself.

The Rockets would never go out of their way to search for a single Pokémon so openly; that Pokémon must have something special about it.

"Since Shinba is still searching, it means that Eevee has not been found yet. At Eevee's speed, it should not be able to leave Celadon City in two or three days."

After analyzing the situation, Xiao Mao immediately went to the teleporter and asked Xiao Jian to teleport Alakazam, Gardevoir, and Eevee over.

After obtaining the three Pokémon, Gary waited for Charizard to recover before heading to the common area outside the Pokémon Center.

"Hu!"

"What?"

"Bu-ee!!"

The three Pokémon were overjoyed to see Gary. Eevee immediately rushed to Gary's side, jumped up his leg onto his shoulder, and rubbed its furry face against Gary's cheek.

Xiao Shigeru patted Ibu's head and said seriously, "I called you here today because there's something I need you to do."

"Hu!"

Hudi said to say what it wants quickly, as it needed to use its four-digit IQ to think it through.

"What?!"

"Bah!"

Gardevoir and Eevee both nodded in agreement.

"I need you guys to help me find an Eevee," said Shigeru.

"Hu?"

"Huh?"

Alakazam and Gardevoir both looked at Eevee on Gary's shoulder.

Ibrahimovic is right on your shoulder.

Ibu: "Eee? (O_o)??"

Ibrahimovic was a little confused; he was right there, why was they looking for him?

“The Eevee I’m talking about is a different one, not this one,” Shigeru said.

Ibrahimovic: "咘咿!(?へ?╬)!!"

You fickle trainer, you already have two Eevee, why do you need another one? Don't you think I'm good enough?

Seeing that Eevee was unhappy, Shigeru explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I don't plan to catch this Eevee, I've never even seen it before."

"Uh-huh?"

"Huh?"

"Hu?"

The three Pokémon were all puzzled, unable to understand what kind of Eevee Gary was looking for.

“I don’t know what kind of Eevee it is, but it must be quite special. However, I’m certain that this Eevee is currently in Celadon City, and I need your help to find it,” said Gary.

The three Pokémon looked at each other, completely bewildered. Celadon City was so big; finding an Eevee was like finding a needle in a haystack, or even a needle in a lake.

"One more thing, this Eevee should be feeling panicked. Alakazam and Gardevoir, you two can look in that direction."

Both Alakazam and Gardevoir can sense the emotions of living beings. Alakazam may be less sensitive, but Gardevoir has a more acute sense of perception.

"Hu!"

"What?!"

Alakazam and Gardevoir nodded to indicate that they understood.

“Alright, Alakazam and Gardevoir, you two will each search the city in a group, while Eevee and I will search in a group. If you two find it, come find me directly,” Gary said.

2.9 The three Pokémon nodded, agreeing with Gary's arrangement.

"Let's start looking now. It's 5 p.m. now, and we'll meet at the Pokémon Center at 8 p.m.," said Gary.

"What?"

"Hu."

Gardevoir and Alakazam vanished from their spot.

Shigeru then joined Ibu in the search.

The Eevee ran out of the arcade, so it definitely wouldn't have run out through the main entrance, which is guarded by security personnel. The Eevee most likely ran out from the back.

The back door of the arcade faces north, so naturally you should go north.

Gary took Eevee north, entrusting the search mainly to Eevee. Eevee has a danger sense ability and strong perception, and since they are looking for their own kind, it would be easy to find them if there were any nearby.

500: Searching for the Lost Eevee

"Ibu, have you found him?" Shigeru asked.

“Buyi”.

Ibrahimovic shook his head, indicating that he could not find any other Ibrahimovic.

An hour has passed, and both Shigeru and Eevee have walked ten kilometers. They encountered two Eevee along the way, but both of them had owners.

The two Eevee are at very low levels, with only average potential, and are clearly meant to be kept as pets.

Shigeru looked at Eevee, wondering if strengthening Eevee's abilities would improve Eevee's perception.

"Ibu, wait a minute," Shigeru said.

"Uh-huh?"

Ibu tilted his head, wondering why Shigeru had told him to stop.

Gary crouched down, placed his hand on Eevee's head, and used an Ability Enhancement Stone on it.

[Ding! Characteristic Enhancement Stone successfully used.]

“Buyi”.

After its danger perception ability was enhanced, Eevee immediately noticed that its senses were different; its fur was more sensitive, and its senses were multiplied.
