Jiang Mo led Mu Qingxue to a relatively secluded wall on campus.
Jiang Mo easily propped himself up with both hands, flipped over the wall, then turned around, extended his hand to the slightly nervous Mu Qingxue inside the wall, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
Mu Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then finally steeled herself, reached out her hand, and with Jiang Mo's help, climbed out of the campus.
The street outside the school was bustling with traffic and people, lively and vibrant.
Various snack stalls lined both sides of the street, colorful signs glittered with tempting lights, and the aroma of food permeated the air, making mouths water.
"Delicious Magikarp grilled fish, crispy outside, tender inside, and full of nutrition!"
"Farfetch'd brand roasted duck, exclusive secret sauce, so fragrant it'll make you drool!"
"Hot jianbing guozi! Add sausage, add egg, if it's not good, you don't pay!"
"Freshly baked skewers, spicy and satisfying, come and try them!"
The shouts of the surrounding vendors rose and fell.
They entered a small restaurant, and Jiang Mo skillfully ordered a few dishes.
When the dishes were served, Mu Qingxue curiously looked at the food she had never seen at home.
She gently picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and instantly, her eyes lit up, "Wow, this taste is so special, I didn't realize outside food was this good."
Mu Qingxue had never eaten at such a roadside stall before and was immediately captivated by the deliciousness of these well-seasoned dishes.
Jiang Mo looked at her reaction and smiled, "Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg. I'll take you to eat more delicious things later."
After finishing their meal, the two packed up the unfinished food. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw an ice cream vendor nearby.
Mu Qingxue's eyes immediately lit up, and seeing this, Jiang Mo led her over.
They arrived at the ice cream stall.
Mu Qingxue looked at the dazzling array of ice cream flavors and became indecisive, frowning tightly and mumbling, "Strawberry flavor looks good, chocolate flavor is also very tempting, and there's vanilla flavor..."
Jiang Mo couldn't help but laugh at her struggling expression, "Don't choose, boss, give us one of each flavor."
Mu Qingxue looked at him in surprise, "That's too much, isn't it?" Jiang Mo, however, said nonchalantly, "It's fine, try each one. You'll always find your favorite."
The boss, seeing a big customer, quickly chimed in, "Yes, little beauty, try each one. If you can't finish it, don't you have your boyfriend here? You can give it all to him then."
Mu Qingxue's face flushed again upon hearing what the boss said, but she didn't correct him. She just took the ice cream and quickly hid behind Jiang Mo.
When they bought the ice cream and returned to the restaurant to pick up the food they had packed, they found the food was gone. They only saw a black shadow flash by.
"Chase!" Jiang Mo reacted immediately, simultaneously releasing Pikachu.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu leaped out of its Poké Ball, electricity flashing on its cheeks, and unleashed a powerful current in the direction the black shadow fled.
Mu Qingxue also released Kirlia and commanded, "Kirlia, use Magical Leaf!"
Kirlia danced its hands, and leaves flew like blades towards the black shadow.
However, the black shadow was extremely agile and vanished into an alley with a single flash.
Jiang Mo and Mu Qingxue pursued closely in the alley, where the walls were mottled and piled with miscellaneous items.
The black shadow darted left and right, moving extremely fast, but Kirlia used Teleport, instantly blocking its retreat.
Under the pincer attack of Pikachu and Kirlia, the black shadow was forced into a dead end.
Only then did the two see clearly that it was an Eevee.
Pokémon: Eevee
Gender: Female
Attribute: Normal
Level: 12 (Early Beginner)
Ability: Anticipation
Held Item: None
Skills: Tackle, Tail Whip, Growl, Helping Hand, Covet, Sand Attack, Quick Attack
Inherited Skills: Wish, Yawn
Evaluation: Having lived in the streets for many years, wandering for survival, it has developed a resilient heart.
"Bui!"
The Eevee was thin and dirty, its fur a bit messy, and it had several scars on its body. It held the bag of food in its mouth and was trying to climb over the wall to escape.
However, due to exhaustion, it fell down as soon as it climbed onto the wall.
Jiang Mo quickly stepped forward. He sensed Eevee's weakness and pain, extended his hand, and a green glow of Tokiwa Power emanated from his palm, gently covering Eevee.
Eevee was initially resistant, but under the soothing effect of Tokiwa Power, it gradually relaxed.
The wounds on its body healed at a visible rate, and its previously dull eyes regained their sparkle.
Mu Qingxue watched from the side, her heart filled with pity.
She squatted down and said gently, "Little Eevee, are you hungry?"
After speaking, Mu Qingxue handed all their unfinished food and ice cream to Eevee, though she hesitated for a moment and kept a strawberry-flavored one for herself.
"Bui!"
Eevee looked at her warily, but its eyes were also filled with a longing for food.
Finally, it couldn't resist the temptation of the food and began to feast in front of Jiang Mo and Mu Qingxue.
"I didn't expect there to be an Eevee wandering nearby. From its appearance, it seems it hasn't been living on its own for long after leaving its mother."
Mu Qingxue watched Eevee gradually relax and gently stroked it with her hand. Feeling the warm little hand, Eevee paused for a moment but did not resist, continuing to eat.
Although Eevee's distribution in the wild is relatively rare, it is not a very precious Pokémon due to its cute appearance and being extensively bred by humans.
Seeing the heartwarming scene between Mu Qingxue and Eevee, Jiang Mo couldn't help but think of Eevee's diverse evolutions.
The Eevee evolutions in this world have not been fully discovered yet; people's understanding of Eevee's evolutions is still limited to evolution ite.
What's expensive isn't Eevee, but the evolution ite, which also leads to a very small number of Trainers who use Eevee.
Upon realizing that the Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon evolutions had not yet been discovered, Jiang Mo immediately became excited.
Isn't this another opportunity for him to show off?
It's quite reasonable for a genius Researcher to discover new Eevee evolutions, isn't it?
Furthermore, Eevee's evolution also falls within the scope of genetic research, and the publication of the paper can again be handled by Doctor Ouyang, making it a perfect match for his expertise.
While Jiang Mo was daydreaming, Eevee had already finished all the food in front of it. Now that it was full, it was much more energetic than before.
"Bui~"
Eevee gently rubbed against Mu Qingxue's warm, smooth calf. It could feel the goodwill emanating from this human woman.
It could distinguish the difference between one full meal and continuous full meals, so it began to act incredibly cute to win Mu Qingxue's sympathy.
Mu Qingxue couldn't resist the little one's cuteness and hugged it into her arms, "Little one, do you really want to come with me?"
Mu Qingxue seemed to understand what Eevee was saying and kept communicating with it.
