Upon seeing Eevee's weakened state, Brock grew very anxious. He quickly pulled out his water bottle, gently lifted Eevee's chin, and carefully poured water for it.
As the water flowed from the bottle, Eevee felt the warm stream and looked up at Brock, a hint of gratitude in its eyes.
Brock put down the water bottle, gently patted Eevee's head, and comforted it, "Eevee, don't be afraid. We'll take good care of you."
Then, without minding if the floor was dirty, he set down his backpack and took out the Pokémon food from inside. Eevee, having not eaten for a long time, was already ravenous.
The last time it ate was three days ago, when an employee came in. He was smoking there, saw a poké ball, and let himself out, waiting until he finished eating before being recalled into the poké ball.
The man's eyes were full of pity. Later, something unknown happened; the man answered a phone call, seemingly about his child being missing, and he hurriedly left.
It even thought that man was its Trainer, and being recalled into the ball was to take it back.
As a result, that departure lasted three days.
Until today, Brock finally let it out, and it was its first time eating and drinking in days.
"Eevee's current situation is not optimistic. We must quickly send it to the Pokémon Center for treatment later. It hasn't eaten for so long, it's probably sick from hunger."
Brock's tone was a bit heavy; as a breeder, he knew well the consequences of not consuming nutrients for a long time.
In minor cases, weakness; in severe cases, death.
Xiao Zhi sighed softly; this current situation was completely unexpected. However, why didn't the people from this company take this Pokémon back to raise it?
'Perhaps it's because they were too exhausted. After all, even if they aren't Trainers, raising an additional Pokémon is costly and energy-consuming.'
'This company clearly looks like a large corporation. People working here probably don't have time, constantly developing new projects, so being tired is normal.'
Li Qingfeng thought that the prototype of this building was the GF Building, and such existences also appeared in other regions.
Brock opened the can and placed it in front of Eevee, gently saying, "Come on, eat quickly."
Eevee looked up, curiously sniffed the aroma of the can, and then carefully licked its lips. Eevee approached the can, gently touching it with its soft nose. It began to slowly, little by little, taste the food in the can.
Brock was relieved to see Eevee willing to eat his food; he had been a little afraid that this Eevee was the kind of Pokémon that feared humans.
Now it seemed to be the more friendly type. Brock waited for Eevee to finish eating before immediately taking it to the Pokémon Center for a full check-up.
Xiao Zhi stood by, not disturbing Brock. He had no intention of catching Eevee; he already had quite a few Pokémon, and if he caught another, he might not be able to train them all.
He couldn't keep bothering Da Mu, could he?
He took out his pokémon index and scanned the opponent: "Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Due to unstable genes, it has many possibilities for evolution."
Xiao Xia saw such a cute Eevee now so thin and small, and she couldn't help but wipe away tears. These past few days had truly made it suffer.
"Bui." (Thank you...)
Eevee gratefully murmured softly while eating; this was the most delicious meal it had ever had.
Before, it only ate wild berries. After accidentally wandering here, it only ate bread. It had truly never eaten such delicious Pokémon food.
The man in front of it had a feeling that made it want to spontaneously approach him. After finishing the food in the can, Eevee raised its head and looked at Brock with gentle eyes. It seemed to want to express its gratitude and happiness through its gaze.
Brock, with a kind smile, stroked Eevee's fur.
Eevee felt the warmth from Brock's hand and nuzzled his somewhat large palm. Brock picked up Eevee and then ran out of the small room, sprinting all the way down.
As for Onix, it had already been recalled.
"Brock, you didn't take Eevee's poké ball!"
Xiao Zhi looked at the still shaking iron door, and seeing this, he also ran downstairs, following behind Brock, wanting to give him the poké ball. Xiao Xia, seeing this, was miserable; as a delicate girl, she still had to run such a long distance.
Downstairs, Xiao Zhi saw Brock sitting on Onix, rushing towards the Pokémon Center. Yu Hong City allowed Pokémon to be released, and with Onix's speed boost, the Pokémon Center was only a few minutes away.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi pleaded with Gengar. But it was no use; Gengar indicated that it was not a critical moment and that Xiao Zhi should walk himself. Hearing Gengar's meaning, Xiao Zhi could only quicken his pace towards the Pokémon Center.
"Why are there so many missing person posters here?" Xiao Zhi looked around and found the four large characters for "Missing Person Poster" written on them. There were also headshots of the relevant people posted inside, which made him a bit confused.
Li Qingfeng also saw the missing person posters and remembered the plot where Xiao Xia caught Psyduck: 'Hmm, perhaps it's due to certain circumstances. So many children disappearing at once is indeed a bit strange.'
Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, Xiao Zhi saw an anxious Brock. He walked up to Brock and patted his shoulder: "Brock, how is it?"
Brock felt Xiao Zhi's pat, turned his head, and replied: "It's already been sent for a full check-up. Now we're just waiting for the results. I hope Eevee is okay."
Xiao Xia ran in, panting, "You two, you ran too fast..."
Xiao Zhi hummed, looked around, and found that the surrounding situation was a bit off. Many Pokémon looked listless, and among them, a yellow duck caught his attention.
pokémon index: "Psyduck, the Duck Pokémon."
"Why is this Pokémon also listless? How pitiful..." Xiao Xia sighed with emotion, not expecting to encounter such a situation so soon. What happened here to make so many Pokémon like this? Even some originally vibrant Pokémon now looked a bit exhausted.
Before they could say anything more, Nurse Joy pushed a small cart and brought Eevee to Brock, stating seriously: "Are you its Trainer? This Eevee is severely malnourished and will need a long time to recover."
Chansey stood by, feeding Eevee something unknown, which seemed to improve its complexion slightly.
Brock shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I'm not its Trainer. I found this Eevee on the rooftop of the Yuhong Building. If I could, I'd really like to take care of it."
