After sending the Team Rocket trio packing, Gary sat in the laboratory, leisurely sipping black tea.
Eevee lay on Gary's lap, nudging Togepi, who was trying to climb into his arms, aside a little.
The two little cuties each took one leg, neither fighting nor grabbing.
Eevee-chan had principles, after all, and wouldn't stoop to squabbling with the old, weak, sick, or disabled.
If Arcanine had tried climbing onto Gary's lap, Eevee would already have stunned Arcanine with two bam-bam punches...

Misty covered her face with a wry smile. *I
