"Well, seeing as we both look like we're gonna be late," Ryan said as he pulled out a potion as he took his pokéball from Mia, "We may as well visit Alex and Eve, maybe they would come with us."<br/><br/>Alex and Eve were a pair of Eevee that had taken up residence in his one bedroom flat in the loft. He more or less cared for them. Eve was a shiny Eevee while Alex wasn't. Eve got to a point where she'd immediately come to him whenever she heard him come home. Alex was practically a ghost until Eve called to him.<br/><br/>He was tempted to see if Eve would let him catch her but he didn't press the issue as he'd have to fight Alex. Something told him she would as she would fall asleep in his lap sometimes and nestle deeper into it if he tried to move her. She'd kinda grew on him as he got settled in. He would definitely see about catching before he left Pallet Town.<br/><br/>"Eve is a Shiny Eevee that seems really attached to me." He said worried as he saw Blaze flop on his stomach in exhaustion as Fenny checked on the flame pokémon, "If I am gonna get a Pidgey, I'm gonna need her as Blaze just had a hell of a fight."<br/><br/>He had Blaze return to his pokéball, which was an ultra ball, as he took Mia's hand and led her, with Fenny in tow, to his house. Either by divine intervention or sheer coincidence, it was right next to hers. A shiny Eevee followed by a normal Eevee appeared on the wall to their left as they got close. The Shiny Eevee, letting out a squeal of delight as it met them, leapt off the wall and into his arms as he let out a yell of surprise. He glared at it sternly as he scratched it's ears while it buried itself in his blue vest. His sternness was undermined by the warm smile that lit up his face as he turned to Mia as the shiny Eevee's head popped free of the left side of his vest.<br/><br/>"Mia, this little hellion in my arms is Eve, mister grumble on the wall is Alex." He said with a heart-melting smile in his face as he gestured to the normal Eevee with his head, "He hates me more than she does, I can take her if you want to take him."
