However, the brothers are impressed by the courage of Ash's Pikachu and agree to let him participate in a battle against their Eevees. The winner will be able to take home a special prize.

The battles are held with such zest and uniqueness, different methods, and techniques are used while fighting, and it progresses quite smoothly.
As the battle takes place, Ash and his friends learn about the different types of Eevee evolutions that exist. They find out that Eevee can evolve into three different types of Pokemon, depending on the stone or crystal used on them. Mikey, the youngest of the Eevee brothers, has yet to decide which kind of evolution he would like his Eevee to take. He is unsure as he wants to make the right choice for his beloved Pokemon.
As the battle comes to an end, Pikachu faces the final challenge against a powerful Jolteon. Jolteon has a clear advantage due to its lightning-fast speed and electric powers. Pikachu is struck down and lying helplessly on the ground after the fight, but Ash and his friends take him to a Pokemon Center where he is soon healed.
Meanwhile, Mikey is still undecided about his Eevee's evolution. His brothers pressure him to pick a stone and make a decision, but he refuses, saying he will wait until he knows for sure. Ash and his friends offer to help Mikey figure out which evolution would be best for his Eevee.
Later, the group sets out on a journey to find the three stones necessary for Eevee to undergo all evolutions. During their search, they encounter Team Rocket, a group of notorious Pokemon thieves, who are also after the stones for their own nefarious purposes. Ash and his friends manage to defeat Team Rocket, and they finally find the stones they were looking for.
In the end, Mikey decides that he wants his Eevee to evolve into a rare Pokemon called a Vaporeon, the water type. He believes that this evolution would be best for his Eevee, and with the help of his friends, he helps his Eevee evolve into a Vaporeon.
