Summary
Eevee’s evolution was changed by Team Rocket in Pokémon Adventures, creating a legendary hybrid Pokémon. The criminal organization’s experiments demonstrate the dangerous potential of scientific manipulation of Pokémon in the manga. Team Rocket’s ability to combine the powers of legendary species and promote experimentation on Pokemon makes them more dangerous than previously believed.
IN Pokémon, Eevee is best known for its many developments, which Missile team took advantage of Pokémon Adventures. This manga differs from the games that inspired it, as well as from the anime. The difference in story potential between these three mediums led to one of Team Rocket’s nefarious – and unknown – plans.
Team Rocket is famous as a criminal organization specializing in stealing Pokémon. It is also known to engage in mind control and experimentation on various Pokémon. The most famous Team Rocket experiment is Mewtwo, but the legendary clone isn’t the only one whose powers have been exploited.
In fact, one of the criminal organization’s most evil plots involves Eevee. In the game and anime, the adorable normal form can evolve only once, and then it continues life as one of its eight evolved forms. In the manga, Team Rocket found a way to reverse the process.
Team Rocket’s legendary trials aren’t just limited to Mewtwo
Pokémon Adventures, Chapter 33: “The Winged Legend”
Pokémon Adventures was created by Hidenori Kusaka and Mato in 1997. Chapter 33, “The Winged Legends” reveals Team Rocket’s plot to create a legendary Pokémon that could in some way compete with Mewtwo upon further testing. A stolen Eevee was tested to evaluate how its evolutionary powers worked. In Chapter 19, “Blame the Eevee”, Red fought it and was amazed to see its attack pattern constantly changing to match his attacks. Usually, this Pokémon is a normal type, but it easily uses fire, water, and electric attacks.
Eevee was able to shift its form from evolution back to its original state thanks to a device placed in its ear by Team Rocket. As a result, the criminal organization was able to use the power of three different elemental Pokémon in one. If that level of control isn’t terrifying enough, this is just a test run to create a more powerful hybrid. Using the results of testing on Eevee, enabled by the combined power granted by the gym badge on the device, Team Rocket combined Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos into a legendary Pokémon prototype that Red faces in Chapter 33.
Pokémon’s criminal team regularly finds new ways to bend the laws of nature
…the criminal organization was able to use the power of three different elemental Pokémon in one.
Red, Blue and Green – three trainers from Pallet Town – join forces, finally taking down a trio of legendary hybrid birds. However, this crazy combination of powers highlights the dangerous potential that Team Rocket has when conducting scientific experiments on Pokémon. From world domination to world destruction, various criminal organizations in the Pokémon world regularly transcend the limits of space, time, and nature. Being able to combine the legendary trio of species is no easy feat, but it is an awe-inspiring and terrifying concept. Missile team take one by Eevee the most impressive possibilities and twist it in the most nefarious way.
