bari-bari
Hey, you still not ready? C'mon, hurry up!
You all packed and ready to leave?
I'll show you this wide mysterious world
And skip the slow send-off
Be it through fire or through water
I'm fumbling blindly through the days
When I don't even know what the next second will bring
Each and every one of my memories
Can always be found inside a Ball
On 1, 2, 3, dive in!
I've got my plans for when I grow up in my pocket
Greeting someone new is always fresh
No need (No need!) to hesitate! Try! (Try!)
Let's have a fight!
1. Once the battle's done
2. And we're laughing or crying
On 3, let's be friends!
Any day and every day, that's always been my rule
With this unpredictable, unfathomable world awaiting
Let's go! Every time you trip and fall
Let's go! You pick yourself up by my side
I choose you!

The mysterious "Eevee that doesn't evolve"
And it’s over!
Good work, Bari-chan!
With that, we’ve gone over the basics of Eevee.
Evolution is always on your mind when thinking about Eevee.
And that’s precisely why Koharu’s Eevee that doesn’t evolve...
Hmm... ...is a mystery, indeed.
So, to begin with, what exactly is Pokémon evolution?
What is Evolution?
When Pokémon evolve, their appearances and capabilities change greatly.
Pokémon evolve in many different ways.
Some can evolve into different forms in different environments.
There are even Pokémon which evolve differently in different environments.
Evolve in the Galar region
Eevee is particularly easy to influence, with eight evolutions discovered.
Eevee has eight possible evolutions.
Eevee is particularly easy to influence, with eight evolutions discovered.
That’s the highest amount out of any known Pokémon.
It’s said to be influenced by its surroundings more easily than other Pokémon.
Which is why it’s called the Evolution Pokémon.
Wait... Huh?
The Sakuragi Institute's
Seven Mysteries
The mysterious "Eevee that doesn't evolve"
Hey, Bari-chan! Were you listening?
I guess it was a bit too hard for you.
Then, why don’t we actually take a look at this Eevee that doesn’t evolve?
Well then, Bari-chan... Take it away!
This is from just before Koharu met Eevee.
How come you haven’t caught any Pokémon, Koharu?
Maybe I won’t.
You won’t?! Why?
People make it out like I have to catch Pokémon just because I’m a professor’s daughter.
It doesn’t feel right.
Being a Pokémon professor’s daughter
colored how people thought about her.
She’s only ten.
It’s no surprise she can’t decide on her future.
Miss!
What is it? Koharu?
Ah, uh, um, dad’s, uh, pachi...
Oh! Well, hurry back!
Wanpachi!
What’s wrong?
Like a scene from a fairy tale,
Koharu and Eevee had a fateful encounter.
They both look like they fell in love at first sight!
That Eevee...
...had escaped from a nearby laboratory,
and before long, it was time for them to say goodbye.
We’ve caused you so much trouble.
We’ll be off then.
Eevee?!
This Eevee really loves Koharu, huh?
It appears so.
She’s a pretty mysterious Eevee. She won’t evolve whatever we try.
She won’t evolve into any of the eight Pokémon?
Right.
Eevee have unstable genes in general, so maybe that one’s genes are more unstable than most.
Or perhaps... Maybe she’s hesitant, unable to decide what path she should take.
Hesitant...
Though that’s not a very scientific perspective.
Hey, Koharu...
If you wouldn’t mind, do you think you could look after Eevee?
Huh?
You want to stay with Koharu, don’t you?
Eevee...
If you say it’s okay...!
Thank you.
Koharu, who doesn’t know what she wants to be...
...and Eevee, who can’t decide which path to take.
They’re very alike.
Also, there’s more to this Eevee than not evolving,
it has another mysterious trait as well.
Take a look at this.
Wanpachi! Eevee! Spark!
And that’s not all.
Everyone, look out!
Showers! Use Hydro Pump!
Do... Do you want to fire a Hydro Pump?
Eevee! Hydro Pump!
Eevee used Hydro Pump?!
You did it!
Was that... Copycat?
The Copycat that the man mentioned...
...is a move that copies other Pokémon’s moves.
But Koharu’s Eevee...
...only seems to copy moves of the types of its own evolutions
Rather than “work experience,”
it’s enjoying its own unique “evolution experience.”
As for this Eevee, what does Koharu think about her?
She copies her evolutions’ moves?
That’s a real mysterious Eevee.
Bari-chan, don’t get all confused!
Koharu
The one wearing the kimono is Koharu.
Haruhi
And this is Haruhi, who looks just like Koharu.
It’s confusing, but hang in there!
Koharu
With that settled, let’s continue!
That’s a real mysterious Eevee.
Still, despite copying them, she doesn’t evolve.
Eevee have unstable genes in general, but they said that maybe her genes are more unstable than most.
Interesting...
And with her being like that...
That’s exactly why I want to let her choose her own path herself.
And so we’re learning about lots of things together.
I really get it!
You think just like I do!
These two, they evolved into Eefee and Blacky on their own.
Really?
Eefee, who’s strong in the day. Blacky, who’s strong at night.
The pair of them make up for each other’s flaws, and support each other.
Make up for each other’s flaws...
And support each other...
And humans and humans, or humans and Pokémon can do the same.
Nobody in the whole world’s perfect all by their own.
But by making up for each other’s flaws, and supporting each other,
everybody gets to live life a little easier.
That’s what I feel, seein’ how Eefee and Blacky are.
Oh, she sounds so grown up...
For Pokémon Trainers,
it doesn’t matter if you’re a child or an adult.
By the way, Bari-chan...
Do you remember how many kinds of evolutions Eevee has?
So close! The answer was 8 kinds!
But Koharu and Eevee’s future doesn’t just have eight paths.
This is what happened the first time Koharu and Eevee went to Alola.
Um, Suiren...
It’s Koharu, right?
With the Eevee.
Yeah!
You see...
I wanted to ask if you could tell me about your Eevee.
Sure!
Hey, Suiren. What are you going to evolve Sandy into?
Evolve?
Eevee and I have come across lots of her evolutions.
But I still don’t know...
...which of the eight Eevee wants to evolve into.
One more choice. The Eevee path.
Huh?
Staying an Eevee.
Like Satoshi’s Pikachu.
Satoshi’s Pikachu?
I get it! So Eevee have nine paths, not just eight!
Lots of possibilities!
Lots of... Possibilities!
Yeah!
Not evolving and just staying an Eevee...
...is another possible future.
And with that, we’re one step closer to solving the Seven Mysteries!
Through her adventures with Eevee...
Through adventures with Eevee———
Koharu’s world expands
Koharu’s world keeps on expanding!
Together, they arrive at the answer———
What answer will Koharu and Eevee arrive at?

Look forward to the next episode!
Today, You’re the Speed Star
And... we’re off!
Today, You’re the Speed Star Radio!
I am your companion, the guide for all of your journeys, Mr. Narra!
Life is full of up and downs, and so are Pokémon!
And I hope to give you all a Helping Hand as you Tackle your daily troubles!
Today, You’re the Star— The Speed Star!
Oh, a new program started.
Yet again, thank you for the messages you’ve sent in this week.
Today, I’ll be starting off with a message from Star Name “Daddy’s A Lonely Ball Lately”!
“Hello, Mr. Narra!”
Oh, hello!
“My daughter, who turned ten, recently caught her first Pokémon.
“It feels like they’re always spending time together,
“and I’m glad that she’s found such a wonderful partner.”
That is certainly worth celebrating.
“She was never very proactive,
“and it feels like now the Pokémon is encouraging her.
“The other day...”
I’m back!
I’m back, Wanpachi.
Come on out, Eevee.
Welcome back, Koharu.
I’m back, Dad.
Can you come here a moment?
Welcome back, Koharu.
Nice timing!
What is it?
Hey! Have you been finding fossils enchanting?
Apparently he has a request for you.
About investigating fossils!
In the Wild Area! The Wild Area!
Over in Galar?
Indeeding!
You can find rare fossils in Galar, according to a rumor I heard.
I’ll do it!
Me, too!
I can meet lots of Pokémon in the Wild Area! Right, Aceburn?!
What will you do, Koharu?
I have school, so...
You want to go?
Dad, I want to go too!
“With her Pokémon, she went all the way to Galar for the first time,
“and had all kinds of experiences there.
“She even got to witness fossils being restored, and had a very satisfying day out,”
So, how was it?
Great! I had so much fun!
I hope I can go again sometime! Don’t you agree, Eevee?
All right! Let’s write that report together!
Well, they say kids grow up at Lightning Speed.
And what’s wrong with that?
So how come you’re “A Lonely Ball,” hmm?
Ehem...
“Without me even being there,
“when I see she’s growing up by leaps and bounds,
“as her father, I’m a bit of a lonely ball”
Oh, I get it now.
“As she grows, her worries have grown too.
“Should I be reaching out to her, or just watching over her?
“Just like my daughter, I’m unsure what I should do.”
Hmm... I see.
To everyone listening, if you have any opinions or thoughts, don’t hesitate to send them in.
Now then, I have a song for you...
...and that was “1, 2, 3.”
Erm... And we’ve already received some messages.
Star Name “Nervousçoise.”
“Hello, Mr. Narra.”
Oh, hello!
“I know a girl who’s very similar,
“so I simply had to send in an e-mail.
Oh, thank you for that.
“Even if adults don’t reach out to them,
“sometimes children can still find answers on their own.”
Koharu, what do your mom and dad do?
My mother’s an illustrator,
and my father researches Pokémon.
Ooh! He’s a Pokémon Professor?
Yeah.
But I don’t like when people assume I’m going to be a professor just because he is.
At one point, I was panicking. I was trying to think of something I wanted to do.
Then I met Eevee, and realized I don’t need to rush it.
Eevee?
She’s a bit unique.
It’s like she still doesn’t want to decide what to evolve into.
So she copies the moves of other Pokémon, and tries out all kinds of things.
Oh!
So earlier she was copying Pochama’s move!
Yeah.
She seems to really enjoy that.
So I thought that it would be fine for me to hesitate and just enjoy trying new things, too.
Ah, I see.
My Pochama decided on his own not to evolve.
Huh?
He seems to want to stay by my side as a Pochama forever.
At the time, I wasn’t sure that was really a good idea.
But since then, I’ve gotten a lot closer to Pochama.
So you’ll be fine, just fine!
Thinking really hard about it for a long time, then going “Eureka!”...
That’s how the greatest dreams are born, I bet.
Yeah!
Right, right! Dad shouldn’t butt in, is that what you’re saying?
Harsh!
Next up, Star Name “Yellow Lover.”
“Hello, Mr. Narra.”
Hello!
“I also know a wonderful girl who met Pokémon,
“and began trying all kinds of things!
“Her father is a Pokémon Professor, and lately,
“even the way they handle Pokémon is growing more similar.
“There’s something so fascinating about kids and their parents!”
I think they’re going home.
Back to Full Moon Island and New Moon Island.
So Darkrai was searching for the wounded Cresselia.
I thought they were enemies...
But maybe they’ve actually been looking after one another.
Darkrai gives everyone nightmares.
But it can’t control that power, so it always ends up hated and alone...
Maybe Cresselia lives on Full Moon Island because it doesn’t want Darkrai to be lonely...
That’s amazing, Koharu! You really understand how Pokémon feel!
If we face each other earnestly, people and Pokémon...
...can truly understand one another...
Eevee.
You know, we might not be Pokémon,
but humans can evolve bit by bit, too.
And I’m not just talking about kids.
Dads can, too.
Now then, here’s a song to go with your coffee break...
After the song is the super popular Eevee Fortunes corner!
Eevee Fortunes after the commercials!
