Vee: Difference between revisions

Vee first appeared in ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]''. When Red tried to challenge [[Erika]], she stated that she wouldn't battle him unless he was able to capture a Pokémon of her choice, an Eevee.  Red, with the help of [[Bill]], tried to battle Vee, but for every Pokémon that was sent out Vee would turn into the [[eeveelution]] that had a type advantage over it. This ability confused both of them at first, but Bill eventually figured out the ability, and Red managed to discover a way to keep Vee from sensing the type of Pokémon sent out. Red was thus able to capture the Eevee. Realizing that its body had been experimented on to allow such an ability, Red took the Eevee to the [[Celadon Gym]] and connected it to a healing machine to allow it to recover. Just then, Erika appeared once again, and feigned being a member of [[Team Rocket]] to force Red to fight for it. Despite [[Saur]], [[Poli]], and [[Pika]]'s best efforts, Erika was able to counter their abilities one by one with her variety of movesets, and then approached Vee, saying that if she disconnects it now, it would surely take its last breath. Red, evoking his deepest desire to defend the poor Pokémon, had Pika use a {{m|Substitute}} clone to distract Erika while having it guard the healing machine. Erika, impressed with their valiance, revealed herself to be an ally of the "good" Gym Leaders he had met before, and not only awarded Red the {{badge|Rainbow}} but also allowed him to keep Vee.

Vee was later used alongside Red's other Pokémon to battle Team Rocket members who were pursuing {{p|Articuno}} in the [[Seafoam Islands]], which they ultimately failed to defend. Soon afterwards, Red sent Vee into storage after restoring Aero in [[Cinnabar Island]].  It was later discovered that when Red had sent him to Professor Oak, Vee had been captured by Team Rocket again. Later on, Red rescued Vee in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', after the evil [[Sabrina]] had no use for it, as she had now obtained the [[Zapmolcuno|merged legendary birds]]. Two years later, Red also used Vee to battle [[Bruno]] on [[Cerise Island]], taking advantage of his ability to change into his evolutions, which was enhanced through the three [[Vermilion Harbor]] evolutionary stones he obtained from {{adv|Giovanni}}. A combination of its powers as Vaporeon and Jolteon allowed Red to take the win.

Vee was used on Red's test to become Viridian City's Gym Leader, defeating the last of the Association's Pokémon, {{p|Porygon2}}. It was his first appearance as an {{p|Espeon}}, and although he was not identified as Vee, Red expressed that he clearly had much trust in the Pokémon. Red later explained to Sabrina that the Pokémon was in fact Vee but that he had lost his ability to change into his {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{type2|Electric}} evolutions upon evolving into Espeon. Though it had now become a normal Espeon, Red still preferred it this way that it isn't burdened by the sufferings of the past any longer.
