Sometime after the battle Anya, Samuel and Agatha all stayed at the small tourist town on Indigo Plateau.

"That was some excellent battling over there, clearing an elite trainer two to five. I really liked the way you utilized the weather and, and the trick room was brilliant move." Agatha beamed at Samuel, who scratched his neck while his cheeks showed a small blush.

Currently they were in a restaurant, waiting for their meals. Anya was happy that this restaurant also catered Pokémon, even though they initially was against it. Samuel just said to the waiter "We'll take a private booth, so no one will be bothered when she eats and you can just treat her same as you would treat me." The waiters eyebrows rose but eventually she nodded. The waiter took them to a small private booth and had brought three menus in which they ordered.

"She can read..." said Agatha. Still not believing what she had seen. "Maybe she just pointed at a random dish?" she rambled

"You think? Looking through this multipage menu, she just somehow managed to land on one of the three salads by luck? The only one without any meat on it too." Samuel joked "You should visit sometime, so you could really see what she can do"

"Like what? Tailoring?"

"Exactly, look at her clothes will you. Have you ever seen such a technique, even the famous Johto Spinarak weave isn't without seams."

Anya's eyes perked when she heard 'Spinarak weave'. "See" said Samuel while chuckling.

"I have to admit, I am curious about her, if her intelligence is even close to as good as you said it was she could be a great source of information."

"Well, about that..." Samuel flustered a bit "Sh-" They were interrupted as the waiter brought them their food, along with their drinks. Anya had water while the others drank juice.

Eating and casually conversing the conversation naturally went back to Anya for some reason.

"Anyway, as I was saying, She told me that Eevee has eight forms, EIGHT"

Agatha was silent "Are you sure she isn't lying?"

"I... I don't know" he said while looking at Anya who was quietly nibbling at her salad.

"Anya?" His voice not entirely stable, Anya looked at him, most likely knowing what he is going to ask. "Can you... give proof about the Eevee forms?"

Anya wondered for a while and came to a conclusion. Since he was going to buy her a typewriter, she considered the information already paid then. She nodded.

Samuel released his breath that he was holding in expectation of an answer.

"How do we do it?" Anya put the left cutter on her right elbow and her right cutter under her chin, in a thinking expression. Agatha and Samuel waited for a while, both of their foods getting cold already.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Anya thought for a while, she didn't have the brush and paper with her. She had to rule out drawing. An idea struck her, she took out the menu, scrolled through the foods. All of them having a Pokémon themed name, she located the desserts and pointed at a single one in the list. 'Fluffy Eevee Pancakes'

"Eevee" Samuel said, reminded of their first time communications

She looked around and found another menu item. 'Rock and Rollout pasta'

"Rock" said Agatha understanding the method of communication

Then Anya just pointed at her glass

"Water" they both said together.

"A Vaporeon?" Samuel noticing the connection "Evolved into while exposing an Eevee to a 'water stone', nothing new"

Then Anya pointed at the candle at the table

"Fire" said Agatha, evidently liking this puzzle like communication.

"Fire stone, Flareon" To which Anya nodded. Next she pointed at the power outlet at the corner of the room

"Electricity? a Thunder stone! A Jolteon" Agatha said happily

"Then what about the others?" Samuel questioned

Anya started to scroll through the menu and found the 'Sunny day latte'

"Sunlight?" Samuel said, this time stumped. "If an Eevee evolved only with sunlight there would be a lot more of those" Anya was looking through the menu for a while, she found one 'Happiny stew' she pointed at the dish.

"A Happiny? Why would they need a Happiny?" Agatha asked

Anya shook her head, she covered part of the dish's name.

"Happinys, oh, oooh" She came to a realization.

So "'Sunlight' and 'Happiness' but which one is it?"

She then pointed again at the menu 'Moon biscuits' followed by the 'Happiny Stew'

"So Eevee plus sunlight plus happiness is one and Eevee plus moonlight plus happiness is another?" To which Anya nodded.

"I think the Moon one is Umbreon, which means the other one is Espeon?" Anya nodded again.

"Three more to go" Said Agatha

The next three were quite a bit harder to explain, how would one explain, what a moss stone or ice rock is... Not talking about Sylveon, whose condition for evolution is learning a certain attack...

She tried her best but the two of them couldn't understand what she meant, they got most of the keywords but couldn't connect them together. The answer were as follow.

'Ice', 'Eevee', 'Energy', an Ice-type Eevee

'Grass', 'Eevee', 'Energy', and Grass-Type Eevee

'Eevee', 'Affection/Love'. Both were silenced, at least they now think Anya knows something as she tried to explain it to them, without success.

-----------------

Leaving the food gone cold behind they finally left the Indigo Plateau after picking up the injured Pokémon from the League health station. The Dragonite was happy to fly Anya and Samuel back to Pallet Town. On the way back Anya had a small chat with the Dragonite, who happily answered her, they had only introduced themselves on their flight here and were mostly silent that trip.

"Hey, Dragonite, Your battle was great! You took out Paul's starter and almost his ace as well!" Anya chippered. Causing the gentle dragon to chuckle happily "It was nothing, just following orders" he tried to downplay his accomplishment but was secretly proud and happy to get a compliment.

They talked about how Samuel was like in the past and how long had they known each other, he told her about his home island and how Samuel had accidentally beached there. The story took a long time, before it could even finish they had already arrived at the house's back yard. They said their goodbyes for now and hoped to hear the rest of the story from him at some point.

They both went inside, Anya set herself up at the table and picked up the brush in a practiced fashion while Samuel went to take a shower.

When Samuel had exited the shower now in clean clothes and freshened out he found a three pages of paper with a written text on them.

'GLACEON ICE CAVE, EXPOSE ICE ENERGY'

'LEAFEON MOSS ROCK EXPOSE GRASS ENERGY'

'SYLVEON FAIRY MOVE LOVE?'

Staring at the pages in front of him, he could understand most of what was written. The last page causing some problems, he understood each of the letters and words written there but couldn't understand how it worked at all. He better get that typewriter to her as soon as possible.
