The boundary of the tail tip’s marking is comprised of a series of curves and points. That means this Eevee is a girl, as a male Eevee would have a zigzag pattern instead.
Now that you’ve confirmed the gender of your kidnapper, you look her in the eye and prepare to speak up. You need to talk with her and convince her to take you back to Pallet Town, because that’s the only way you can get back to normal.
Luckily, she’s a lot calmer now than she was when she discovered you, judging by how she’s been peacefully lying there and letting you look around her den. Maybe the excitement of finding a tiny human has worn off a bit, or she’s more relaxed now that she’s safe and secure in her own home. So you think she might be willing to listen to you now.
“Okay, Eevee,” you say, as she perks up her ears. “First of all, I appreciate that you decided not to eat me... even though all that licking was really excessive. But please, listen to me. I need to get back to my town. Pallet Town—that’s where you found me. I was about to go in, and you caught me. Can you please take me back there?”
Eevee seems disappointed. Her long ears droop, and she stops panting and starts to frown.
“I can tell you’re really excited to find a tiny human,” you say. “But I can’t be stuck here in your den like this. I need to get back to my normal size, and the first step to doing that is to get back to my town and talk with some humans there. So I really need you to take me back to where you found me. Please?”
Eevee is still disappointed. She now begins to pout and growl a bit, narrowing her eyes and avoiding eye contact with you. Her bushy tail lifts up and comes down, slapping the ground slowly, over and over again. She clearly isn’t interested in helping you return to normal, and that’s concerning. You need to convince her somehow.
“Are you worried about losing me?” you say. “That won’t happen. Even after I get to the town, I’ll definitely need someone to help me get around, and keep me safe from other Pokemon. And I think you’d be a perfect pick for the job. I think that’s a win-win, right? I get your help, and you get to spend time with me.”
Now Eevee is interested. Her ears perk up and she looks down at you. “Vee?” she says. “Eevee?”
“Oh, and if you’re worried about me getting back to normal size too soon, don’t worry about it. I have a feeling I’ll be stuck like this for a while. So you’ll have plenty of time to hang out with me at this size.”
Eevee quietly growls and looks up, pondering your deal. You think it’s a good deal. But the problem is, there’s nothing stopping the Pokemon from refusing, and just keeping you here with her indefinitely. That would certainly benefit her more. She’d have a tiny human to play with all the time, with no risk of him growing back to normal. You assume she knows this. You just hope she doesn’t decide to abuse her power. But considering how she manhandled you earlier by licking you, pinning you, grabbing you in her mouth, tossing you around... you don’t have your hopes up.
What does Eevee decide to do about your deal?
