This is
Virgil's eighth Eievui. It loves to be pampered but it's still an apprentice.
Virgil had been trying to get it to decide what kind of rescue missions it wanted to do and which type it want to evolve into so it could graduate from its apprenticeship.
Virgil's Eevee couldn't decide and
Virgil wanted to make sure not to rush it and make sure it thought through it carefully so it would pick the evolution that suits it most.
During a battle against some Freegeo at the dam and reservoir,
Virgil's Eevee helped contribute by protecting
Virgil's Flareon and boosting its attacks. While
Virgil was busy dealing with the Freegeo's attacks,
Virgil's Eevee dug a hole down to the basement of the control building which allowed
Davy to get out of the building.
Virgil realized after those experiences that his Eevee was fine the way it was and that his Eevee Team was now complete.
