Eevee's abnormality made Fang Yuan nervous.
He glanced at the destroyed phone, his head aching terribly.
This was Eevee's second life... How was he supposed to coax Eevee now?
"Eevee, calm down first."
Fang Yuan pulled Eevee and Magnemite apart, afraid they would fight.
"Eevee! Eevee? Eevee! Eevee—"
Eevee expressed its feelings directly at the exploded phone, then looked angrily at Magnemite, accusing Magnemite of being the culprit.
"Magne..." Magnemite still looked innocent, shaking its body constantly to indicate that it didn't know what was going on.
Father Fang and Mother Fang looked at the scene blankly, not understanding what had happened.
As for Fang Yuan, he probably understood the cause and effect.
Incident cause: He asked Eevee to play with Magnemite.
Incident process: After the two Pokémon communicated for a while, Eevee had a flash of inspiration and wanted to play games with Magnemite.
Incident result: For some unknown reason, the phone exploded directly after Magnemite touched it.
A small incident that was easy to understand...
As for Eevee... it was precisely because its beloved phone was destroyed that it suddenly succeeded in mobilizing emotional energy in a fit of excitement.
Fang Yuan really didn't expect that Eevee, who had the Soothing Bell, would be the first to Grasp the Anger Energy that it was not very good at in theory...
The move Frustration... it always felt a little strange to teach it to the cute Eevee.
But now that things had come to this, what he should be concerned about was not Frustration, but Eevee's mood and the reason for the phone explosion.
Under Fang Yuan's earnest persuasion, and with the compensation of buying a new phone, Eevee finally calmed down.
"Eevee..."
However, seeing the broken phone case at its feet, Eevee still felt a little heartbroken.
...
"Well... that's pretty much what happened."
After Eevee angrily dragged another phone back to Fang Yuan's bedroom, Fang Yuan explained to Father Fang and Mother Fang.
Next to them, Magnemite showed a disappointed expression, worried that it would be kicked out just like that.
"It shouldn't be what our son said. Many Magnemite and Voltorb are Raising in the Power Plant, and the employees have used their phones in front of them, but this has never happened."
"Moreover, if Magnemite could cause phones to explode, our family's situation would definitely not be the first case, and it should have been reported long ago."
Father Fang was puzzled.
Phone explosions, in fact, the real root cause of phone explosions is battery explosions.
However, Fang Yuan bought the phone from a regular physical store, so in theory, there should be no internal battery Defect.
Eevee could play by itself without any issues, but the moment Magnemite came into contact, the phone exploded instantly, so it's no wonder Fang Yuan would overthink things.
"Magnemite, before the phone exploded, did you discharge electricity or absorb any power?" Father Fang asked.
Magnemite shook its head in denial.
"Then did you release any Thunder Wave?" Fang Yuan asked.
Magnemite still shook its head in denial.
"Modern electrical facilities all have protective materials on the outside. Unless an Electric-type Pokémon directly attacks, even if many Electric-type Pokémon gather, the most it will do is affect communication signals," Father Fang said.
"Then what exactly is going on..." Fang Yuan worried. This Magnemite couldn't even release the Thunder Wave needed to shield against gravity and fly, so how could it suddenly emit a Thunder Wave that could blow up a phone?
Did they really think Magnemite was a mobile electromagnetic pulse weapon?
...
After discussing it for a long time, Father Fang and Mother Fang couldn't come to any conclusion. In the end, Mother Fang suggested sending Magnemite back to the Power Plant. After pondering, Father Fang didn't object. Who would have thought that Magnemite would bring danger to the family just two days after arriving!
Fortunately, it was just a small phone, and no one was injured.
What if it was a TV or computer that exploded next time? Clearly, Magnemite had now become a dangerous Pokémon in the eyes of the Fang family. If it was the phone's own fault, that would be one thing, but if it was Magnemite's fault, even Father Fang wouldn't dare to raise Magnemite as a pet casually.
"Kuo Ee..." With Father Fang's hesitation, Magnemite's mood became increasingly low.
It really didn't know what was going on!
But in this situation, there was no way Magnemite could explain itself clearly.
"I think..."
Fang Yuan looked at Magnemite and suddenly said, "Even if it really is Magnemite's fault, I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing."
After listening to Father Fang and Mother Fang's discussion about sending Magnemite back to the Power Plant, and noticing Magnemite's increasingly low expression, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a little emotional.
In fact, from the moment Father Fang and Mother Fang started discussing Magnemite, Fang Yuan's thoughts were very different from theirs.
As ordinary people, Father Fang and Mother Fang's first thought was the potential safety hazard that Magnemite might bring to the family, and that was indeed correct.
But Fang Yuan, as a Trainer, first thought about why a Magnemite that couldn't even shield against gravity could cause such a big commotion. Could it have some special talent?
First of all, this Magnemite can't fly, so it's definitely different from other Magnemite.
The Pokémon Doctor said that this was Magnemite's natural defect, but that was just one way of putting it, not the truth.
The specific reason, even the Pokémon Doctor, didn't explain clearly.
After this incident, Fang Yuan had reason to suspect that this Magnemite wasn't as simple as the physical defect the doctor mentioned.
"Since the Pokémon Doctor can't find the reason, I'll take Magnemite to school tomorrow and ask Teacher Li. He might be able to give some advice from a Breeder's perspective."
Father Fang and Mother Fang looked at each other, then looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Is that okay?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said, "It should be fine."
Then, he looked at Magnemite and said, "Magnemite, would you like to go to school with me tomorrow?"
"Maybe the problem with your left and right parts not being able to emit Thunder Wave can be solved together, so you can fly in the future."
"Kuo Yi...?" Discovering that things could still change, Magnemite revealed a happy expression and nodded towards Fang Yuan.
However, even though he had temporarily decided to take Magnemite to a professional breeder to check its physical condition, he still had to put Magnemite back into the Poké Ball.
With what happened just now, even if Fang Yuan was carefree, he had to admit that his parents were right. Magnemite itself still had some safety hazards. Although it wouldn't self-destruct like Voltorb, its ability to detonate electrical appliances was equally concerning.
Father Fang found Magnemite's Poké Ball and placed it on the table. Magnemite looked at the familiar Poké Ball, its mood continuing to sink...
However, just as Magnemite was about to enter the Poké Ball, an unexpected scene occurred. Under Magnemite's gaze... the Poké Ball moved twice directly on the table. If Fang Yuan hadn't been sharp-eyed, he definitely wouldn't have noticed this subtle change.
