"Meow! (They're just a few Eevee! What's so hard to handle? Besides, they weren't even trying to attack you!)"
Meownei had been tidying the upstairs bedroom. When she heard Squirtle yelling in the backyard, she thought something had happened, only to find three Eevee.
Now that she had seen for herself, she knew anyone who hadn't might have thought Raikou, Suicune, and Entei had all shown up at once.
"Squirtle?"
Only after Meownei pointed it out did Squirtle realize that the three Eevee opposite him seemed even more nervous.
As for the presences in the bushes, they still hadn't reacted. It was more as though they were asleep.
Despite what she said, Meownei still jumped straight out the window into the backyard to see what exactly was going on.
Meownei's arrival made the Eevee feel even more threatened. Instinct told them that this unfamiliar Pokémon was far more dangerous than that Squirtle.
"Meow. (Don't be so scared, and stop looking at me like that. This is my backyard. You're the ones who came barging in.)"
Meownei first gestured for the Eevee to relax, though it did little good. Wild Pokémon were far more wary of their surroundings.
Then she established who owned the place. In Pokémon terms, this was her territory.
"Vee..."
The Eevee's voice was subdued, and they slowly backed away. Just then, Xin Mu, who was cleaning the attic up by the roof, noticed what was happening in the backyard.
"Meownei, what's going on in the backyard?"
"Meow! (A few Eevee. One looks injured. Should I chase them away?)"
"No, leave them be. They won't cause any trouble living there. Treat the injured one with a Potion."
Xin Mu wasn't an obsessive collector, nor did he have any interest in completing the Pokédex. Oh, right-he didn't even own
