Jake continued to train with his Eevee as they traveled.  Tossing the stones to train her<b>Protect</b>skill’s effectiveness thought use, and the same with her<b>quick attack</b>as she chased some fruit he through and aimed to catch it before it hit the ground.  At least he continued this until they reached the edge of the forest.  Calling Eve back, Jake made sure she was close and safe for a moment.<br/><br/>Looking around at the trees for a moment… Jake actually got an idea on how to help her get better a little more.<span style="color: green">“Eve.  Use Quick Attack.  Just from tree to tree.  The longer you can, the more treats I will give you at dinner tonight.   Try not to disturb any pokemon though.  If you can do this without disturbing any, I’ll give you even more treats.”</span><br/><br/>Eve let out an excited call as she jumped up against a tree before starting ro use quick attack.  Quickly jumping from one tree to another using quick attack.  Her first time she got only three jumps before falling to the ground.  Jake kept count as they moved.<br/><br/>Eve was the one who stopped when they finally closed on Eleyna and Scarlett.  The small fox like pokemon could very obviously feel the atmosphere as soon as she saw the two women.  She dropped to the ground and immediately ran back to Jake’s legs and stayed close to him as he approached Eleyna and Scarlett.  Eve could tell that this was an old place.  She had to stay close to her trainer to protect him.  Even if it meant only getting 4 treats tonight.  She had disturbed a family of a Sawsbuck and Deerling.  He was tempted to try catching one, but he had saw that they were a family and decided not to.<br/><br/>When the girls turned to him, Jake actually looked a bit ashamed.<span style="color: green">“Sorry, I didn’t mean to sneak up on you two.  No, we didn’t catch them.  It was decided against that course of action.  It would take too long.   So are you going to wait here for the rest?”</span>He asked, though, as he looked into the woods, he wasn’t sure if he had a foreboding or excited feeling about the deep forest they were approaching.  Even he had heard stories from both his parents about places like these.  He was curious if he could find something similar as they had in a place like this.  An Old Ninetails that he rarely saw but belonged to his mother.<br/><br/>He had to admit, he would love one of those.  Even if his mother almost never brought her out unlike her normal evolutions from her Eevees.  But he knew Eve wouldn’t stand a chance against one.  His parents had never told the story how they had gotten her, but they didn’t make it sound like it was through a fight.  They were always so mysterious about it.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
