Chapter 80 - The World Shall Know (1/2)

The purple glow slowly got bigger. The process took almost a minute. Charmeleon didn't disturb the evolution.

Evolution is considered a sacred ritual among Pokemons. So, the Pokemons would not disturb the process until it was completed. Charmeleon may be stupid and arrogant but it was also a proud Pokemon. It would not disturb the sacred ritual.

Finally, the purple glow suddenly vanished and a completely different Pokemon came into view. This was the first sighting of Espeon

The trainer ran towards Espeon picking it up and hugging it. Espeon didn't seem to have changed in its nature as it evolved due to enough friendship. But its demeanor gave a mȧturė look to its face.

Mark and Axel were also there to witness this evolution. Mark was dancing with joy. ”We did it Axel, we finally did it. It is a new discovery. Ho ho….” He was babbling on and on.

But Axel was also extremely happy. He knew there would be a positive result. But knowing and witnessing were 2 different things. But he completed his responsibility first. He went to pacify Charmeleon as it was ready to go again.

Though he was angry with Charmeleon, it was still a baby in his eyes. After some time, Charmeleon decided to stop the battle and challenge it another day.

Charmeleon was the reason, that Eevee had evolved. So, he gave some extra roasted meat to it as thanks.

Mark, Axel and the 2 trainers had a small party for their achievement. After some drinks, Mark stood up and bowed to Axel at a 90 degree angle and said, ”Axel, I really want to thank you for letting me be a part of this research.”

”Mark, you don't have to bow to me. Straighten up, it is embarrassing”

”No, I should. I know how selfless it is of you to share your work. The work that you were confident to succeed. If there is anything that you want, please let me know”

Mark and Axel thought to examine Espeon tomorrow as its energy after evolution had still not stabilized. After some fun, Axel went home.

He had decided to focus more on Charmeleon from tomorrow. It had just evolved and it was arrogant and proud. It would need a good amount of attention and proper direction to mȧturė.

Middle of night,

Tring Tring! Tring Tring! Tring Tring! Tring Tring! Katchak!!

”Hey Mark, what time is it? Why are you calling me this late?” ”AXELLL!!” ”Hey man, don't shout. You are killing my ears. What happened?” ”Axel, Something had happened, you need to..” ”Mark, calm down. Take a deep breath first. Ok, now tell me”

”Axel, the other Eevee is evolving right in front of my eyes, oh! It had already evolved now, it looks black. Just come here ASAP”
