Staring at the dark, shadowy mass, Natsu found it hard to connect it with the gentle and adorable Eevee he had in mind.
Who has ever seen an Eevee that bites people?!
Natsu's expression twisted oddly as he watched the little one frantically dig up so sand, taking advantage of Haunter's evasion to make a run for it.
"Eevee—!"
But before it could get far, the little one collapsed in pain, letting out a hoarse cry of frustration.
Moonlight poured through the trees.
Eevee's hind leg was bleeding profusely, droplets of blood staining the ground.
"Really, I'm not so bad guy," Natsu muttered as he cautiously approached Eevee.
The filthy little one trembled all over, baring its teeth and growling a low warning when it realized there was no escape.
"Eevee!"
"Haunter?"
Haunter curiously examined Eevee, reaching out a hand to poke it, only to get bitten imdiately.
Yanking its hand back, Haunter's face turned pale as it clutched its cheeks, too pained to make a sound.

Uncle arrived just then, leaning on his knees, panting heavily. "Did... did you catch it?"
"Not sure if it's the right one..."
Natsu hesitated, looking at the battered Eevee.
Its fur was matted and dirty, the once smooth neck fur now charred black, its hind leg a bloody ss, and its sharp claws uneven.
Only those bulging white eyes stood out in the darkness, alert and bright.
It was pitiful.
Uncle swallowed hard, stamring, "It... it can't be this one, this little thing..."
"Eevee—!"
Eevee seed offended, struggling wildly, its bulging white eyes filled with rage.
Uncle took half a step back.
Just then, Haunter floated in front of Eevee, its eyes glowing with a hypnotic blue light.
"Eevee..."
Eevee resisted fiercely, shaking its head repeatedly, but eventually slumped to the ground, drowsy.
Looking at the highly wary Eevee, Natsu sighed.
"Leaving it like this isn't right... I'll take it back with ."
Uncle breathed a sigh of relief, nodding. "Thanks, Natsu. If you need anything, just ask your Uncle, don't be shy!"
"I need to get back and bandage this little one up."
Natsu grabbed the scruff of Eevee's neck, surprised by how light it felt.
Looking at the emaciated Eevee with its peaceful sleeping face, Natsu murmured with emotion.
"You must have had a tough ti up in the mountains..."
Eevee is a Pokémon well-suited for dostication, but abandonnt is not uncommon.
Firstly, Eevee's appearance varies.
Secondly, many naturally aggressive Eevee are seen as defective products, abandoned at birth.
Though cruel, this is the reality for many ornantal Pokémon.
"Haunter?"
Haunter pointed at the Poké Ball on Natsu's waist, looking at him puzzled.
"Didn't you see how fiercely it resisted earlier?" Natsu said helplessly.
"If I catch it now, it'll hate forever!"
"Haunter..."
Haunter scratched its head, then poked Eevee's sleeping face, chuckling mischievously.
It was nearly four in the morning, the faint glow of dawn rising in the east at the village entrance, a few Hoothoots perched lazily on the treetops.
Natsu carried the Eevee ho, feeling a headache coming on.
"Should I give it a bath first?" Natsu tentatively asked Haunter.
"Haunter?"
"Never mind, asking you is pointless."
Natsu pulled out his mobile phone, instinctively wanting to seek help from the big shots, but they were probably still asleep at this hour.
Natsu scratched his head, muttering, "Red has an Espeon, but it's not nearly this aggressive..."
"Who else has an Eevee? Whatever, let's just get started!"
Natsu rolled up his sleeves, boiled so water, and fetched alcohol and cotton bandages from ho.
"System, any dical skills you'd recomnd?"
[Would you like to spend 500BP to purchase 'Ergency dical Care (One-ti Use)'?]
"One-ti use? You're ripping off!" Natsu gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll buy it!"
[Ding—Purchase successful]
[Remaining BP Points: 570]
Using the skill imdiately, Natsu felt a surge of knowledge, snapping the bandage with a crisp sound.
"Hold it down for . If it wakes up, hit it with Hypnosis again, got it?"
"Haunter!" Haunter gave Natsu a thumbs-up.
Carefully parting the matted fur, Eevee whimpered in pain in its sleep, revealing a bloody wound on its leg.
"Even like this, it could still run..."
Natsu murmured, "Truly a master of the Run Away ability."
Natsu could only disinfect the wound for now; proper stitches would have to wait for a Pokémon Center.
Looking at the deep, bone-exposing wound, even Natsu couldn't help but gasp.
"Eevee..."
Eevee let out a soft whimper, its eyes closed, its dirty little face full of fear and helplessness.
Natsu rubbed its head, trimming away the bloodied fur and treating the wound with an iodine-soaked cotton swab.
"Eevee!!"
Eevee's eyes shot open as it struggled to get up in pain.
"Haunter!"
Haunter licked Eevee, its hypnotic blue eyes glowing.
The little one stiffened, then slumped back down.
"This isn't working," Natsu muttered, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
"Hold it tight, use Paralysis, Hypnosis, whatever you've got!"
"Haunter!" Haunter nodded excitedly.
The sun gradually rose.
Natsu and Haunter, both drenched in sweat, let out a simultaneous sigh of relief.
During the procedure, Eevee woke up three tis, was hypnotized three tis, and lunged to bite at every opportunity.
If Natsu hadn't dodged in ti, he'd have been sent to the hospital.
"That was close," Natsu muttered.
"Is this what they call dical disputes? So dangerous!"
The wound was finally treated.
Natsu laid out a blanket on the ground, placing Eevee on it and even tying a cute bow with the bandages.
While it slept, Natsu flipped it over to check.
Yep, definitely female.
The bow's fine!
By midday, the dirty Eevee was still asleep.
Uncle ca by, marveling at Eevee. "I can't believe this little thing has such sharp teeth!"
"That's probably the Bite move," Natsu replied. "It has so other small wounds too, probably from fights with other Pokémon in the mountains."
This wild Eevee was high-level, having mastered the Bite move, and had plenty of battle experience.
Natsu wondered what kind of environnt could have made this Eevee so fierce.
To be safe, Natsu kept his parents away, only letting Haunter help care for Eevee.
"Eevee..."
It wasn't until after lunch that the hungry Eevee weakly opened its eyes.
What greeted it were two heads tilted sideways—a man and a Haunter.
"Hey, you're awake," Natsu said, his head resting against Haunter.
"Haunter!" Haunter did its best to offer a friendly smile.
Eevee shrank back, lying on the blanket, then bared its teeth and growled a warning.
"Eevee?!"
Suddenly, Eevee let out an adorable cry.
Balancing on its injured hind leg, Eevee quickly backed up half a ter.
In front of it was a full bowl of Pokéblocks, freshly made by Natsu using fresh Berries.
The Village Chief's house had a Berry mixer, and its quality was better than Natsu's.
This was also Natsu's first ti making a Perfect Quality Oran Berry Block.
"Want to try it?" Natsu asked eagerly.
"Haunter (ˉ﹃ˉ)"
Haunter nodded while wiping drool, though it kept dripping.
Eevee still bared its teeth, crouching low, ready to attack.
"Alright, alright, we won't watch."
Natsu raised his hands.
"We're leaving, but don't you dare sneak a bite!"
"Eevee!"
Eevee turned its head away, showing disdain for the offered food.
Haunter stared longingly at the bowl of Pokéblocks, tears streaming.
If you're not eating it, give it to ...
Haunter wanted to say more, but Natsu had already dragged it away.
The two stood outside the brick wall, peeking through the cracks at Eevee.
"It's really not eating?"
Natsu was baffled. "This is master-level craftsmanship!"
"Haunter?(;′Д｀?)"
Haunter cried, wishing it could be the Eevee.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the yard.
Crunch, crunch, like the sound of chewing.
Natsu's eyes lit up.
After waiting a while longer, Natsu kicked open the yard gate.
"Eevee?!"
Eevee jerked its head up from the bowl, its face full of shock and innocence, its mouth stained with red Berry juice.
As if trying to explain, Eevee opened its mouth, then quickly burrowed back under the blanket, hiding its head.
"Eevee! (〃＞皿＜)"
