For the same reason, with Meowth acting as a Pokémon translator, Jessie and James quickly learned that the Little Eevee before them was the Eevee they had encountered in Miare City before.
Having witnessed Seiya's strength, the Team Rocket Trio looked around nervously. When they discovered that Seiya was not nearby, the three of them let out enormous sighs of relief.
"Team Rocket, it's you lot again!"
"Fletchinder, I choose you! Use Steel Wing on Team Rocket's hot-air balloon!"
Seiya indeed was not nearby, but Serena, Ash, and the others were. In the end, after leaving behind a negligible amount of experience points, the unfortunate Team Rocket Trio was sent blasting off again.
With their hot-air balloon punctured by Fletchinder, Serena and Eevee fell straight from the sky as well.
To prevent Eevee from getting hurt in the fall, Serena actually reached out and caught her in midair, intending to protect Eevee with her own body.
Perhaps it was because of this selfless act of protecting her that Eevee's affection for the girl before her increased considerably once more.
As she felt herself constantly falling, Serena was terrified as well. Though she squeezed her eyes shut and did not dare look at the ground, her arms still held Eevee tightly against her chest.
Fortunately, just as Serena and Eevee were about to hit the ground, Clemont arrived in time and caught Serena with a mechanical arm.
After that, Serena looked at Eevee in her arms and took the opportunity to ask if she wanted to travel with her.
To be honest, Little Eevee, who had always remained in the flower fields, had long been immensely curious about the outside world.
Moreover, she admired her elegant and powerful brother. She did not want to spend her whole life hiding behind him
