Saffron City is the biggest city in Kanto and also the economic centre of Kanto Region. I don't know if you realise it or not but the Pokémon world is the world where nature and science walk side by side. Not only the environment here superb with minimal pollution but it's scientific progress is actually far better than my previous world. The only side that Earth win is in its entertainment progress. For the entertainment in this world singer and actor is still quite popular. But for gaming and sport they almost extinct here. Just imagine do you prefer looking at human kicking the ball around or Pokémon kicking fire and thunder around. The best game for kids to play with is Pokémon battle, in this world there is a saying video game is for kindergartener.
A lot of scientific limitation in my previous world can be solve easily with the ability of Pokémon. There is also the education policy of this world. The children below 10 years old will need to learn general education. After 10 they will get their Pokémon and the can choose to travel as a trainer of continue studying. the one that continue their study can choose technical school where they focus on certain profession. My first brother chooses this because he will inherit our family breeding business. The other choice is the higher learning where only the good academically people can join, it almost like the previous world university. My second brother join this. The other option is the trainer school that I attend before. Sadly, without enough resource, it very hard to succeed here.
Saffron City have the biggest company in Kanto the Silph Corporation. They engage in research about developing various important tool for enriching our live. My aim here is the Magnet Train. the Magnet Train runs from Saffron City to Goldenrod City in Johto, connecting the two regions going at over 340 miles per hour. Along the way it will stop at a few cities like Celadon City, Varidian City and Cherrygrove City. I wish to go to Celadon City and the safest way is by train. So I buy the ticket and board the train.
Celadon City is very close with Saffron city so I got there in half an hour. By this point you can already guess my purpose here. That's right it's time for shopping, the biggest Shopping Centre in Kanto the Celadon Department Store. I head to the 4th floor to get my precious Evolution Stone. While pretending to window shopping, I manipulate my avatar to buy from the counter. I already collect more than 15 000G in GBA currency, it's enough to buy all type of stone here. I saw the ice stone that I don't need but I still buy it. I don't plan to train Glaceon since Vaporeon can also use ice attack and I already have 6 main pokemon.

I spent 10 500G here then I get to the rooftop and enjoy the scenery here while my avatar is busy buying Lemonade from the vending machine using most of my remaining fund. This Lemonade is the best price/performance ratio healing item in the game. After I'm done here I continue my own physical item shopping. Since my Piggy Bank is nearby I don't care wasting some money. I change all my current gear to high quality one. I must say that expensive item is very impressive, the degree of comfort is far surpassing the cheap good I wear before especially the clot and shoes. An adventuring trainer like me need to walk through forest and river so the quality of my gear could bring a massive effect. I choose high quality good with simple design, this is the so call low key style. If you don't look carefully you won't find out how much it worth.
I go to the Poke Centre to withdraw my Pokémon. I switch all my other Pokémon for Eevee then I head to the other attraction on Celadon City Celadon Hotel. The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the south-eastern part of the city. It's the only 5-star hotel in Kanto. I just want to try the rich guy life. The main reason is I want a quiet place to evolve my Pokémon, I try to convince myself. I booked a room for a night here, just a regular room I don't dare the take the VIP one. Just looking at the price almost give me a heart attack. But just this room has already amaze me so much.
Then it's time for the main job. I call for all the four Eevee, after that I took out the Four stone and line up in front of me. Then I explain to the Eevees
"I think of you all as a friend so I wanted you to decide yourself. This one is the thunder stone if you use it you will evolve into a Jolteon with the power of thunder."
They look at each other and one of them came forward. I touch it with the thunder stone and it shine brightly. After the light faded the one that appear in front of me change greatly from before. It is covered in yellow fur with a spiky fringe around its tail and a white ruff around its neck. Its ears are large and pointed with black interiors, and its eyes and small nose are black. It has slender legs and small paws, each with three toes and a pink paw-pad.
"Next is the water stone, which one of you want to evolve into a Vaporeon and wield the power over water."
Another one came forward and I touch it with the water stone and the transformation begin. A blue sphere appears covering the Eevee like a cocoon made out from water and after it done Vaporeon emerge. Vaporeon's body is light blue with a dark blue marking around its head and a spiky ridge down its spine. It has black eyes and a tiny black nose. There a white fin encircling its neck and three fins with cream-colored webbing on its head. One of these fins is on each side of its head similar to ears and one is directly on top of its head similar in appearance to a dorsal fin. Its four leg have three small toes on each foot and dark blue paw pads on the hind feet. Its split tail fin looks just like a mermaid's tail.
"This stone is the Fire Stone which hold the essence of fire, the one who choose it will be the Flaming Flareon."
Only two more of the Eevee remaining. One of them step forward and I touch it with the Fire Stone. The Eevee catch on fire that slowly grow until it turns into the ball of fire but strangely nothing in the room burn, the fire is there and I can feel the warm air but it just to the extent of the burning air of summer. The fire burn for a while before diminishing slowly and reveal the Flareon inside it. The Pokémon is covered in short, reddish-orange fur. It has long ears with black interiors, dark eyes, and a small black nose. There are three small toes and a yellow paw pad on each foot. Fluffy yellow fur forms a small tuft on its head, as well as its bushy tail and a mane around its chest and neck just like a lion.
"The last one is the Leaf Stone. After you take it you will evolve into Leafeon. Actually Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon can rarely be seen in Kanto, Espeon and Umbreon has appear in Johto but I had only heard of Leafeon from a very far continent from here. So not much is known about it."
But the Eevee did not hasitate and touch the stone. The wind blows erratically and out of nowhere a lot of leaf mysteriously appear dancing in the wind and surrounding the Eevee that shine with green light until the figure of the Eevee cannot be seen. A nice aroma emanates from it and the air around felt fresher than before. Not long after, the transformation finish and Leafeon appear before. Its body is tan with dark brown paws. It has a multitude of small green sprouts growing all over its legs, chest, and back, with the longest one on its head, in front of four tan tufts of fur. Leafeon's ears and tail resemble tattered leaves. It has brown eyes and a small, brown nose. This is the first time I saw Leafeon even in the game. I just play until the Hoenn Region and by that time Leafeon still didn't exist yet, but base on the guide it says that Leafeon can purified air, that's why the air here is very fresh and also have a very good fragrant. My must loves it, I should buy more Leaf Stone and help my mom Eevee evolve into one.
With this my Team is complete. Before I leave home I bring six Eevee, 3 males and 3 females. The male one evolve into Espeon, Jolteon and Flareon while the the female one evolve into Umbreon, Vaporeon and Leafeon. I will use this team to conquered the Indigo League, a full on Eevee family.
For now, I just enjoy the 5-star hotel treatment and order for room service. I order a lot of food for me and for my pokemon. Why don't I go to the hotel restaurant for food? Your joking right, this city is the stronghold of team rocket, if I expose all my rare pokemon in clear view right now, I'm dead. An Eevee is a joke pokemon but every evolve Eevee is a treasure after all, this world Evolution Stone is a scarce resource. It's not something you can buy in the supermarket (unless you are a cheat like me). That night I have a very good sleep with the double buff of Jigglypuff and Leafeon, my sleep quality raise exponently.
The next morning, I order my breakfast and have it in my room. After that I headed to the Game Corner. The official name of the Game Corner is the Celadon Game Corner, not the retarded name of Rocket Game Corner like mention in the game. If they are stupid enough to use that name, even a fool will realise that they belong to Team Rocket. I need to replenish my money, the best way to ese my safe and load cheat is by betting on roulette. Safe before you bet and then see the result then load and put the bet at the winning spot. But just to be safe I adjust my winning ratio by winning and losing with a slight emphasis on winning. I'm not so greedy so after I collect enough money I quit and left. I pack my thing and left the city using the magnet train and return to Saffron City and this ended my detour.
