A quick "You watch everyone, alright?" is given to Pikachu on a bent knee, a pat on the head accompanying it an a happy affirmative given in response, before Red lifts up again and checks at the stalls there are. He has no plan to buy anything, limited in the money he has for the world, but there's no reason to not see what's being offered, the different types foods always a curious sight to see in any location despite his not well-travelled mouth.

Espeon considers the question presented to her, pondering it as her tail sweeps slowly against the ground. And then she answers- for her, it was a state of mind. She decided that Red would keep by her side, and she would ensure that.

Pikachu intervenes, but waits to do so after she's spoken. He tells Eevee that you don't need to evolve to be strong and loyal to your trainer. He knows an Eevee too that's strong, and she loves her trainer a lot, just as much as they love Red.
