## Plot

### #31 - Waking Up

Forrest is shown waking up in a presumed treehouse, before noticing a Super Smash Brothers esc note underneath his door. After picking up and reading the letter, he says “*Oh shoot*“ to himself while looking visibly distraught.

### #32 - Branch

After a Spongebob Squarepants time card, reading “*A Few Moments Later*” we see Forrest climbing down a ladder. He is then surprised by another Leafeon, by the name of Branch. Branch apologizes for scaring Forrest after the latter points out his accidental surprise. The newcomer Leafeon then asks Forrest if he knows any Umbreons, as one came by the treehouse earlier. Forrest cuts off Branch, telling him that the Umbreon was Jake, and that he sent him a letter in Smash Bros form.

### #33 - Being Annoyed

Branch comments on Forrest’s annoyment to go back, to which Forrest explains that the place is weird even if it’s his job going there now. Branch tells Forrest that he’s gonna have to get used to it though, whilst also calling him a weirdo. Meanwhile (using another Spongebob card) Emerald asks Jake if he sent the letter, and Jake responds that he did in Smash Bros style, “for the memes”.

### #34 - Charmander Again

Emerald says that they’ll have to wait for Forrest to get there, Jake stating that he’ll have to distract Charmander for unknown reasons. Eevee suddenly appears and asks why, causing both Jake and Emerald confusion. Charmander appears to Emerald’s annoyance, the espeon stating that Charmander isn’t allowed to be where her and Jake are. Charmander simply responds with “redrum”.

### #35 - Going

Jake reluctantly announces that he’ll take Eevee and Charmander to the candy store, to the latter‘s excitement. Jake apologizes to Emerald, his eyes and speech bubble color turning to blue and leaves. Another meanwhile, and Branch leaves Forrest, leaving the nervous leafeon in a crowded Pokemon Plaza.

### #36 - Forrest Being Weird

Forrest starts to get extremely nervous whilst walking through the area, trying to calm down and reassure himself. He accidentally ends up bumping into Levin, who acts hostile towards Forrest, who is left in stable paralysis. Suddenly, Forrest’s eyes start glowing yellow, whilst he stares at Levin. Levin, obviously confused by this, asks if Forrest has a staring problem, to which he responds that he is fascinated by Levins eyes. The sylveon confusingly takes the compliment while Forrest walks away, leaving Levin suspicious of Forrest.

### #37 - Weirded Out

Forrest comments to himself about how that experience was weird, how he felt like he couldn’t control his own body, and how uncomfortably familiar Levins eyes were. After walking through Pokemon Plaza, Sweet Neighborhood and Plum Drive, he finally gets to The Eeveelution’s House.

### #38 - Forrest Is a Nervous Boi

The leafeon, now at his destination, about to knock on the door, is startled by Jack suddenly leaving the house in a furious hurry. Forrest cries out in surprise, before being excitedly hugged by Jake, happy that Forrest could make it. Jake starts to ask how Forrest is doing before cutting him off and saying that he has to go take the kids to the candy store so that Forrest can have his important talk with Emerald. Before leaving, he tells Jack to take Forrest to the basement. A small time skip happens, and Forrest starts to get extremely nervous while walking with Jack. The jolteon shows the leafeon the basement door and tell him that he needs to go to a room with “Emerald’s Lab” written on it.

### #39 - Following Forrest

While Forrest starts to walk downstairs, Jack’s right eye noticeably gains a red gradient to it. While Forrest tries to find the room, Jack follows him, his right eye now fully glowing red.

### #40 - Their Job

Forrest finds himself in Emerald’s, Emerald stating that she didn’t know when Forrest was going to show up. The espeon offers him a seat, the leafeon taking it and asking what she wants to talk about. Eemerald states that the conversation is going to hang around a serious topic, this topic being that their job is to get rid of a parasite that has been on the loose recently. Forrest is obviously freaked out by this, to Eemeralds confusion as she thought that the mon’ signing up for the job would have known. Forrest says that all Jake told him at the interview was that Emerald would tell him more and details he couldn’t remember.

### #41 - Is About Parasites

Emerald, now annoyed at what Jake did, asks if Forrest has ever heard of the parasite before. Forrest cries out that he’s never heard of anything like it, leaving Emerald to explain what it is. The parasite, called the Erebus Parasite, infects a pkemon by touching infected blood or being bit or scratched by an affected pokemon. Forrest is left shaking in a small ball on his chairm leading to Emerald apologizing, stating that the mayor pays them well to take care of it. The espeon also offers Forrest an easy position, which he quickly accepts. This job, is revealed to be the supplier with Star.

### #42 - More Info

Forrest asks for more info about the parasite, Emerald asking which questions Forrest has. Forrest asks how to know if a pokemon is a corrupt. The espeon tells him that pokemon under the effect of the Erebus Parasite have red and black eyes (occasionally with patterns in them), sharper teeth abd darker coloring. At this news, the leafeon starts crying, remembering something that seems to have happened in his past. Emerald asks if Forrest is okay, to which he replies that he’s just thinking.

### #43 - Comfort Hug

Emerald asks if Forrest wants a hug for comfort, to which he quickly accepts and hugs Emerald. She returns the hug, Forrest thanking Emerald for it. Emerald exclaims that it’s no problem.

### #44 - He Saw

Jack peaks through a crack in the door, angrily spotting Emerald (his crush) hugging Forrest.

### #45 - Like a Family

Forrest apologizes while expressing that his fear lies in that he may possibly get infected. Emerald gives Forrest another hug and tells him that it’s okay, stating that the group will protect him no matter. Forrest is confused at the “we” so Emerald states happily that the group is like a big family. Forrest is reassured by this and states that that’s nice.

### #46 - Done?

Emerald says that she feels like she’s forgetting something, Forrest saying that if she forgot it, it probably wasn’t important. Emerald says that she guesses that they’re done, ater confirming that Forrest has no more questions.

### #47 - Star’s Gonna Be a Teacher

Emerald announces that Star will have to teach Forrest about his job, leading to Forrest asking what the suppliers do. Emerald jokingly states that Forrest said that he didn’t have anymore questions. Forrest nervously starts to explain himself, before Emerald tells him not to worry about it and that Star will teach him all about it. Forrest asks when, Emerald stating that it’s still early in the morning, so Star could explain today. Forrest nervously asks if she could explain tomorrow, leaving Emerald in some confusion.

### #48 - Jealous~?

Forrest says that he’d like to get to know the other members better, to which Emerald cheerfully responds with an “Why didn’t you say so?”. Emerald says that she’s sure that the other members would love Forrest, only to be interrupted by Andrew yelling at Jack to put him down while leaving the room. Forrest gasps while blushing at seeing Andrew again while Emerald yells at Jack to…put Andrew down. Jack drops Andrew down on an ottoman, while briefly apologizing. Emerald glares at Jack before asking if Andrew is okay. Andrew states that he’s doing amazing thanks to Emerald, leading to the two playfully “flirting” with each other, at the disapproval of Forrest and Jack.

### #49 - Jack, Calm Down

Jack asks, annoyed, if the two are done, Andrew teasingly asking if Jack is jealous. Jack growls at Andrew, causing the flareon some nervousness. Andrew, now also annoyed, tells Jack to calm down and says that this is why the jolteon is the worst, always running all the fun. Jack yells at Andrew, saying that he’s lying, Andrew saying that Jack is the one who’s lying. Forrest starts to say something, hopefully trying to break up the fight, but Jack yells at him to shut up. Finn yells at Jack to leave the new guy alone, Jack calling Finn stinky as an insult, both of his eyes now red. Emerald cuts in, her forehead gem now red, telling Jack to calm down or she’s getting the muzzle. Jack nervously stops talking.

### #50 - ITS BACK??!

Emerald suggests for Forrest to go upstairs by himself while she talks with Jack. Forrest starts to get nervous at this suggestion, but Emerald reassures him that he will be fine, and that Jake is probably back by now. Upon hearing that Jake may be back, he runs off, moving past Finn. Forrest quickly runs (presumably upstairs) to a hallway with a wall covered in graffiti, with Jake standing across from him. Jake and Forrest happily reunite with a hug. Jake asks Forrest how things are going, with Forrest nervously saying that things are going okay. Jake asks if anything is wrong, and Forrest responds with the fact that he doesn’t really know any of the pokemon in the house, so it’s weird having to hang out with them.

### #51 - It Is!

Jake remarks about how he’s starting to get worried for Forrest, with Forrest snapping about why he is. Jake, with his head ring 50% light blue, 25% yellow and now 25% purple with a now light blue right eye explains how he’s just worried about Forrest because he’s always so worried and anxious all the time. He then asks is Forrest is actually okay. Forrest snaps at Jake about how it’s reasonable to anxious and worried right now as Jake has just signed him up for a dangerous job. Jake worriedly exclaims (with his head ring 50% light blue and 50% purple) that the job isn’t dangerous. Forrest angrily asks Jake about the parasites, and remarks about how it is very worrying and that Jake never even warned him. Jake starts to sense that something is wrong as his forehead ring turns entirely purple.

### #52 - Glowing

Jake starts to ask what’s going on, as he starts to feel lighter. Jake is now hovering slightly above the ground, both of his eyes now purple. He nervously tries to ask Forrest about it, now viewing that both of his eyes are glowing. Jake cries out in surprised and yells an apology to Forrest, startling Forrest and stopping his strange eye glow. Star suddenly comes into the hallway, saying that Jake is sorry for not inviting him. Forrest cries out in surprise and hides behind Jake, Star asking what’s up with the two. She then remarks about how Jake and Forrest are “*actually kinda cute together*”. This causes the two to start blushing, plus the most likely embarrassment of Star suddenly coming in.

### #53 - Star and Forrest

Jake says that he and Forrest will talk more later, with Forrest exclaiming an ask of who Star is and what she wants. Star jokingly retorts with “*How dare you not even remember me!!*” and says that she wants Forrest to join her. Forrest is weirded out and nervous by this, quietly asking if it’s a cult that she wants him to join. Both Jake and Star realize that Forrest forgot where they were going to go, and Star starts to explain. Whilst the sylveon is talking, Forrest shifts his attention to Finn, who is shown walking out of a room. This causes Star to yell at Forrest, asking him if he’s even listening to her.

### #54 - Pay Attention

Star continues to yell at Forrest, saying that if he’s going to ask questions he could at least pay attention to the answers. Forrest apologies, and Star starts to explain what she was saying earlier again, this being that the Eeveelution group is all going to the shopping market together. She asks if Forrest would like to come, stating that it’ll be fun. Forrest starts to think about how this will give him opportunities to talk to Finn, showing a mental image in his head of Finn, an unknown eevee (possibly Finn as an eevee) and an unknown vaporeon. Forrest exclaims yes, with Star jokingly laughing and telling him to just pay attention next time. Star walks off.

### #55 - Jake and Forrest

Jake asks Forrest if he likes Finn, whilst Eevee and Ari can be seen walking around in the background. Forrest exclaims no, with Jake teasingly asks why he couldn’t pay attention to what Star was saying if he apparently has no feelings for Finn. Forrest sates that he has a hard time focusing, with the top of Jake’s forehead ring starting to turn green whilst he thinks. He starts to cry and ask if Forrest actually isn’t gay, causing Forrest to yell at Jake. Jake whines that he’s just asking, Forrest yells at him to shut up, and Jack enters the room.

### #56 - It’s Jaackk

Jack’s eyes start to glow red as he inspects Forrest from a distance, thinking to himself about something about Forrest was weird. An unknown voice in Jack’s head (using a purple speech bubble with red text) asks him what it is about Forrest, while Eevee and Charmander mess around in the background and Jake and Forrest continue their conversation. Jack walks upstairs, and says to himself in his head about how he has a weird feeling about Forrest. The voice mockingly asks Jack if it’s love, while a second voice (using a dark purple speech bubble with dark red text) asks him if he’s seriously jealous. Jack gets flustered and exclaims in his head that it’s not that.

### #57 - He’s a pure.

Jack continues to talk to the unknown voices in his head, telling them that they know what he actually means. The purple voice appears to still be confused about the situation, whilst the dark purple voice agrees with Jack, saying that Forrest has “that weird aura”. The dark purple voice says something about how “they” have reached them (referring to Jack and the two voices as separate entities). After walking to his room, Jack sits down on his bed starting to tear up and shake. The purple voice (now revealed to be Zack) starts to ask if the other voice (now revealed to be Mack) meant something unknown, which Mack confirms while calling Zack an idiot. Mack states that Forrest is a pure, and the chapter ends with a shot of Jake and Forrest talking together.

### Intermission - Stay For Food

This comic is an interesting one, due to it being an intermission one. In the comic Forrest says that he should be going now, with Jake complaining that the Leafeon should stay for food. Jake takes Forrest’s hand happily stating that Finn is cooking, with Jake’s sudden taking of Forrest’s hand causing him to get flustered and cry out in surprise.
